Three Hundred and Fortieth Chapters Do Not Suffer From Inequalities
It's midsummer soon, and this year because of the incident in Huizhou, the originally scheduled summer vacation has been dragged on for more than half a month.
In fact, the emperor originally planned to stay in the imperial capital just like last year. He decided to stay in the imperial capital for convenience. If you are sad all the way, it is better to go to the palace to relax.
Chunjia then excused that the Empress Dowager was getting old and couldn't stand the sweltering heat of Miyagi, so she went to the palace to escape the summer heat as usual with the help of a phoenix.
On the way there this time, the entire harem was very silent. After all, we all know that the imperial concubine is still immersed in grief, for fear of disturbing the purity of Yunfenghuang, and I don’t know how to die when the time comes.
After arriving at the palace, people from the queen's side came to discuss with Yun Fenghuang, where should the newcomers be placed?
"Originally, I have the right to assist the Sixth Palace, so I should worry about these things." Yun Fenghuang smiled weakly when he heard this, and sighed, "But everyone knows about the Xie family. I can't slow down for a while... Now that I am obsessed with filial piety, even if I am a concubine, I don't have the heart to do filial piety to my mother's family. Otherwise, Please, empress empress, give the power of this palace to someone else?"
Gu Zhen was very surprised when he heard this, and said: "The imperial concubine spent a lot of effort to get the right to be an assistant, and later even recommended the former Shu concubine Ouyang Fulu and De concubine to intervene in the palace affairs, so as to empty the palace. Why did you suddenly change your temper and take the initiative to hand over power?"
Thinking of Yun Fenghuang's proposal to take the Empress Dowager Yuan back to Miyagi, she couldn't help frowning, "Is it true that the concubine's temperament has changed drastically, and she is confused?"
Otherwise, why would you do things that harm others and benefit yourself.
"...Your Majesty, let's see if there will be any changes in Liugong and Shangxia these days?" Zuo Zuo knew Yun Fenghuang very well, and knew that this master is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the method of retreating to advance is not unreasonable. However, I didn't believe that Yun Fenghuang would change his temper at all, so he persuaded the queen, "Maybe the imperial concubine dug a hole, and I hope your empress will be fooled!"
The queen thought it was very reasonable, so on the one hand she refused to let her give up the right to assist under the pretext that she valued the imperial concubine, and on the other hand she was very vigilant and eyeing her.
When Yun Fenghuang knew it, he smiled slightly: "I really feel tired, thinking about resting for a while... Why do few people believe the truth these days?"
But of course her intention is more than that, she is also thinking that Empress Dowager Qu has been forced to a place close to the end of the mountain by Empress Yuan, and she may take action soon.
When the time comes, if the Empress is to blame, if she is still in charge of the Sixth Palace, even if Chunjia does not expect her to be the mastermind, she will still suspect that when the imperial concubine is in charge, how can the empress's private behavior be hidden from the eyes and ears of Xuanqing Palace?
So in order to let Gu Zhen, a scheming and scheming palace in the middle palace, get the Queen Mother Yuan's schemes, Yun Fenghuang of course had to find a reason to let go.
It's just that even though the queen's master and servant didn't think carefully, out of distrust of Yun Fenghuang, they insisted that it would be impossible without a noble concubine to sit in the sixth palace.
Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang simply claimed to be ill, and took advantage of Chunjia's coming to visit, pretending to be cowardly, so that Chunjia personally ordered that if there is anything going on in the sixth palace, just go to the empress and Concubine De to make decisions. Don't bother the concubine anymore!
Gu Zhen sighed and said: "Forget it, Your Majesty knows about me, if something really happens in the palace, at least I can go and listen to the reprimand."
After a pause, he asked the left and right, "It's just that Concubine De is not too busy to come here. After all, I still need to find a helper. Who do you think is suitable?"
This is because the queen learned a lesson and realized the importance of gathering wings in the palace, so she decided to use the power of assisting the sixth palace as a bargaining chip.
She also has a favorite candidate in her heart, which is naturally Concubine Jing.
But Concubine De was not very happy when she found out, first she went to the imperial concubine to complain in every possible way under the banner of paying respects to Yun Fenghuang, seeing that Yun Fenghuang was indeed sleepy and seemed to have no energy to take care of herself, and then she went to the queen and said in a roundabout way I was completely busy, and the queen didn't need to rush to find other people to share these palace affairs: "There have been no important newcomers in the palace in the past two years, and there are only so many things going back and forth. Can handle it."
Gu Zhen sneered: "Earlier, I asked Concubine De to take care of the second princess and the sixth prince. Concubine De couldn't spare her, let alone handle all these palace affairs? I appreciate Concubine De's kindness, but I can't tire you too much. This matter, so be it."
Wei Hengyan was choked in embarrassment for a while, and then he held back his anger and resigned.
After leaving the house, she had to go to Concubine Min to cry about the queen's domineering and targeting. Yun Fenghuang knew her thoughts well, because she was a direct descendant and spent a long time with her, so she didn't bother to expose it, so she comforted her with gentle words. Also sent people away.
Due to the dormancy of the noble concubine, the failure of the concubine De's attack, and the fact that the emperor was busy with the government affairs of the previous dynasty, unless the concubine was involved, he seldom interfered with the affairs of the palace, so Concubine Jing took the position smoothly and became the assistant concubine of the sixth palace one.
After this result came out, the most depressing one was Cui Lianye, the new Concubine Shu.
After all, the previous Concubine Shu once assisted in managing the Six Palaces. Since she came to power, she hasn't even touched the side of palace power.
According to her status and seniority, she is above Concubine Jing, so she is naturally not convinced now.
It's just that after experiencing the lessons of Yuan Lianniang and Yun Fenghuang, the two favorite concubines, now Concubine Shu dare not express her position clearly, but is unhappy in private.
So the left and right persuaded her: "My lord, why don't you spend more time with the concubine and concubine of the Xuanqing Palace? It's okay as usual, but now your concubine is the main room of the first brother of the concubine's natal family, and both sides are serious relatives. You often go around, It is also due. In addition, now that the Xie family is almost destroyed, and the imperial concubine is in grief, you should go to express your condolences."
If you went diligently, how could the imperial concubine treat you badly?
Concubine Min is notoriously difficult to deal with and will take revenge, but she is still good to her own people, whether it is Mrs. Xie or Concubine De, who have followed her early in the morning, they have all benefited.
"...Your Majesty has already said at this moment that the noble concubine should concentrate on recuperating, and those in this palace are not allowed to disturb her rashly." Cui Lianye also regretted a little. She came from a scholarly family, and she was a bit arrogant since she was a child.
When Ji Lingzi was still around in the late Yuan Dynasty, she never competed for favor.
Later, because of all kinds of blows, I learned a lot, and I will be more perfunctory on the scene, but in the end, I still can't do things that don't care about face at all.
Originally, she thought that the group of people who entered the palace together, except for Gu Zhen, would have no good end. There was a second prince in front of her, and in the future, she would just keep her children safe and guard her own life. It was already an accident to be promoted to Concubine Shu The joy, other, do not want to mention.
But after seeing Concubine Jing cross over to assist her in the Sixth Palace, Cui Lianye realized that it is human nature to worry about inequality rather than scarcity.
Her previous heart was ashamed, but she couldn't see the slightest chance to fight.
But because Cui's marriage and Xie Xiaoyu were pregnant again, Cui Lianye actually had the possibility of competing, but she gave up by herself. Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't say anything, and she is really annoyed.
Since Chunjia had ordered not to disturb the imperial concubine, Cui Lianye was advised by left and right, so she decided to write more letters to her concubine's younger sister, Cui Shi, in order to draw closer the relationship with Yun Fenghuang.
Of course Yun Fenghuang didn't know about these things, even if she knew, she didn't have time to pay attention to this kind of palace dispute right now, but she was wondering what other methods could be used to target Gu's?
Not long after, Xie Wuzheng's envoy came and brought the news that Xie Wuzheng and others had packed their bags and set off with the army. He, Xie Xiaoyu and others were almost forced into the army by the coach. Some of the coach's personal guards are watching them personally, and they are not allowed to run around, so as to prevent them from being eager for revenge and accidental damage. Then they will not be able to explain to the emperor, and the emperor will not be able to explain to the imperial concubine.
This is what both brothers and sisters know, and there is nothing to say.
In fact, both Yun Fenghuang and Xie Wuzheng are in favor of the coach's arrangement.
The descendants of the Xie family are very poor now, and there is really no one left.
Especially Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu, who are close in blood, and they are both honored and honored, and both are harmed. Yun Fenghuang really can't afford to lose.
The son-in-law sent someone to bring a message, but he told Yun Fenghuang: "...The son-in-law said that after joining the army, although he couldn't find out anything because the commander guarded him tightly, he always felt that there was something wrong with this battle!"
Yun Fenghuang suddenly became nervous, his whole back straightened a little, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the problem? Could it be that we are going to lose? If you feel that the situation of the battle is unfavorable, then I will immediately find an excuse and ask Your Majesty to expel them from the army. So as not to be dragged down by the general trend!"
Although being of Xie family bloodline, Yun Fenghuang herself wished to take up the sword to avenge her clansmen, but she understood better that the dead are gone, and the living must protect themselves even more.
She arranged for Xie Wuzheng and the others to join the army for the sake of righteousness and credit, and to create a filial and affectionate character, not for them to risk themselves.
"Returning to your mother, the son-in-law doesn't feel that the war is unfavorable, but that..." The messenger hesitated for a while, looked around and saw Yun Fenghuang's confidantes, and still lowered his tone worriedly, and said in a low voice, "The son-in-law thinks, Marquis Jingning, no, it should be said that the Dingbei Army has been prepared for a long time. It is even well prepared! According to the concubine's observation, this expedition, if there are no accidents, should be very smooth!"
Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately frowned: Although she doesn't understand war, she also knows that although the Dingbei Army is known as the most elite in the country, it has been somewhat slack after many years of peace.
After Hele's sneak attack, Gu Li's betrayal, and Huizhou's brutal bloodbath, it is very normal for morale to be low under such circumstances.
As for the preparations for the expedition, it is unlikely to be complete... You must know that during the successful sneak attack by Hele, the Dingbei Army did not suffer many casualties, but lost a lot of food and grass.
So here comes the question, what happened to what Xie Wuzheng observed?
