In fact, the Shu sisters had already received the news at that time. The imperial concubine threw the ivory palace fan inlaid with hundreds of treasures, phoenix and peony pictures on the spot, and cursed the Meng family: "Wolf ambition!!! If the concubine Rou hadn't failed to live up to her expectations, it would have been her turn." Do you want to dominate that family?!"
Everyone on the left and right fell to the ground, too afraid to speak.
Well, Concubine Shu spent a long time, and Shu Zhaoyi finally found a chance to escape and came over to comfort her: "Who doesn't know what Meng's thoughts are? No matter how angry we were at that time, it was a waste of time. The most urgent thing was to help He'er. Just one handful!"
"It's just that we don't have many useful guards in our legs. Just three or five of them. How can they be used when they have traveled thousands of miles?" When the imperial concubine saw her sister, she calmed down a little, kicked the broken porcelain in front of her, and pulled He pulled her legs to the back hall and shut up, frowning and said, "We sisters are not so lucky and have no children. We finally chose such a good heir, and we are just waiting for the time to come, and let Bidong register him." For Dong Palace, I will always be able to rely on him. If there is someone who is both good and bad, we, Dong Palace, will be at the mercy of others for the rest of our lives!"
Shu Zhaoyi narrowed her eyes and said: "Even if we have many useful guards in our leg, it's hard to send them out! I think we are the female class. No matter how many guards we have, we can't compare with those in Meng's and King Gaomi's leg." ? So for that matter, if the road to the west is there, you can count on He'er to do his best. No matter how you say it, a talented man who came from a small place like Nanfeng County dares to take the initiative to ask for the westward journey, I guess he should have That ability!”
"If not, then entrusting him with our old age may not be reliable. It would be better to make other plans in advance!"
"After all, Bu Nao is the heir we like. His talent has just left Chang'an and he has been betrayed. We must not ignore Bu Nao."
The imperial concubine said: "Sister, I always have plans. What should I do?"
"Although we can't send extra legs to protect him, we can help him with our teeth!" Shu Zhaoyi said with a sneer, "Isn't it because Meng knew that He'er missed our sister's demands, so she didn't tolerate him? ? However, a demanding person in the Meng family will be right under our noses! The Meng family can harm He'er, but we are so embarrassed that we can't deal with that little queen?!"
Concubine Shu's eyebrows suddenly stretched: "What should I do?!"
How to do it
The Shu sisters originally regarded Empress Meng as a thorn in their flesh. That time, with the mentality of "if we dare to touch their favorite heir, they will kill our empress", they rushed directly to Wangchun Palace!
By the time Empress Dowager Meng received the news and arrived with people herself, the Shu sisters had already received the news in advance and ran to Emperor Xuan Jing to take refuge.
Seeing the Queen's main palace which was smashed into a mess, and the Queen who was dragged from the bedroom to the courtyard outside the main palace, the Queen Mother was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot. After being supported by everyone, she hugged the Queen and cried loudly: "Poor My child, what kind of sin did our mother have done to end up in such a miserable life!!! The Ai family was punished by Concubine Rou back then, and at least they were inferior to her in terms of status. I am a dignified palace, but I am so aggrieved!"
The Empress Dowager and the Empress hugged each other and cried in Wangchun Palace for more than half a month. However, Emperor Xuan Jing issued an edict to reprimand the empress. He kept saying that Empress Meng was unworthy and unworthy of being the queen. He begged her to be banned from Wangchun Palace starting from the next month. It is not allowed to see any outsiders, not even to go to Xinshou Palace to say hello.
Although Queen Meng has been in the palace recently and has never been to Xinshou Palace because she is ill, it is not a shame to ask for such a favor in the imperial edict, nor does it let the outside world know which direction the trend is.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she went to Emperor Xuan Jing to argue with her. However, the Shu sisters' words made her eyes darken. Emperor Xuan Jing seemed to be trying to persuade both sides to make peace, but in fact he was not towards his beloved concubine.
Has Queen Mother Meng been forcibly dragged back to Xinshou Palace by Chi Zuosi before, because Chi Zuosi was worried about the Queen Mother's health and was afraid that if she continued to quarrel with the Shu sisters, she would get angry on the spot.
"I'm going to get something from the Ai family's treasury, and I'll go to Wangchun Palace to comfort Empress Dong." The Queen Mother, who returned to Xinshou Palace like that, was naturally upset, but she also knew that her son's thoughts were with his beloved concubine. As a biological mother, she is also unreasonable.
After wandering around the room for a moment, the Queen Mother told Chi Zuosi with tears in her eyes, "It's nothing more than the Ai family being embarrassed. Anyway, since the execution of those two bitches failed, the Ai family has become accustomed to it. However, the Queen is young, even if she was here before When he was in the Duke of Zheng's palace, he was very proud of himself. After all, he came out of the young lady's family. At that time, when he entered the palace and took the phoenix position, he was often humiliated at the legs of a bitch. The Ai family was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it. "
When I said that, I couldn't help crying, "At first, I thought that letting her be the queen would give her some grace. I didn't expect that it would hurt the child! I don't know if she was hating her at that time. Aijia?"
In fact, Queen Meng's mood at this moment was not as intense as Queen Mother Meng thought.
Because the Shu Sisterhood was attacked because of Rong Suihe and his party, she was angry at her in the palace, which was not what Meng Guiyu had expected.
How to turn that storm into a favorable situation for them was also the purpose of Meng Guiyu's secret trip to the palace.
Now that she had followed Meng Guiyu's reminder, she was naturally eager to see if she was wrong about the humiliation given by the Shu sisters, but was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"This is simply unreasonable!!!" The Queen was calm and hopeful, but the Shu sisters, who had just vented their feelings, were still frowning. They managed to get Emperor Xuan Jing drunk, and the two sisters went to the side hall to shut up. , there was still anger in the tone of the imperial concubine's voice, "Meng's family was not humble at first, but she started to tremble after becoming a queen. At that time, she showed off to us like a lady! The look in the queen's eyes just now Did I notice?!”
"Why didn't you notice?" Shu Zhaoyi's face was not good-looking. Just now, they took people to the Spring Palace and smashed it up. They even called the palace maid the wrong queen to move her legs. She originally thought that the little queen at that age was more than enough to be their daughter. Is she like before? Likewise, if you try to argue or reason with them, you will cry and be frightened.
It turned out that Queen Meng didn't shut up, didn't cry, or didn't beg for mercy. She just looked at them quietly. Her eyes were like poison, cold and gloomy, and it made people feel numb just looking at them.
To be honest, even if I had decided not to save face for the Queen before I went, I wanted to use this move to force Mengshi not to tolerate Sleeping Hedong's poisonous legs. However, after all, she was a concubine, and she was afraid of forcing Mengshi to jump over the wall.
The Shu sisters originally planned to push and shove the Queen in the dormitory, but the reason why they dragged the Queen all the way out of the dormitory... In the final analysis, they were irritated by the Queen's look.
So much so that the two sisters couldn't calm down at that moment, "That little bitch obviously hates us to the core!"
"So He'er must be kept!" Concubine Shu said with a sullen face, "After all, apart from him, can I find a better candidate in Yandong?"
"Sister, it's not that he doesn't want to protect him, or that we really don't have anyone suitable to send to help him now." Shu Zhaoyi frowned, "Who told our mother-in-law and brother to be inferior to each other?!"
The imperial concubine said: "Since we are not going to help He'er, the queen can't really kill her. After much thought, he has come up with a way to remove the firepower from the bottom of the cauldron."
"Sister, tell me quickly!" Zhaoyi said.
"Praise Uncle Chong Xin, praise Uncle Chong Xin fiercely!" The imperial concubine sneered, "Isn't Meng planning to let Concubine Meng and Prince Guangling give birth to a son in the east, and then pass it on to the little empress so that she can occupy the position in the east palace?! However, Meng The fourth house of the family has always been suppressed by the other three houses, including the Queen Mother, the old woman. The previous incident of Concubine Meng made the third house of Chongxin Bocuo completely chilled! That person served as General Zuoweiwei until the Ming Dynasty. , I was stumbling, but I never asked Meng for help, which shows the estrangement in my heart!"
She said slowly, "Uncle Chongxin was unable to resist Meng at that time, so he had to hold back! But if we keep shutting him up, we can give him the power and status to be equal to the other three-fang people." , I said... would he watch his biological nephew being used as a pawn by the other three people?!"
Zhaoyi narrowed her eyes and smiled charmingly: "Even if he wants to be a chess piece, his biological uncle should not play chess!"
"Is that true?" The imperial concubine nodded, "This will give the Meng family a huge headache, so that they won't have to think about how to trick He'er all day long!"
Zhaoyi pondered: "But Uncle Chongxin has now become the general of Zuoweiwei and the navy master of the leg! If he continues to be promoted, he will not be able to bear such promotion. Let alone saying that he will have full wings after a month." If you don't get close to us...will it bring any trouble to He'er?"
Concubine Shu said: "He is not a member of the clan, but he can't do anything as convenient as He'er. Moreover, he is right under our noses. If there is any problem, we will stop immediately and don't even bother to go to Bidong to talk to him again." Shemen wants to speak ill of him, but even Duke Zheng, Marquis Wu'an, and Marquis Chengyang will not tolerate the fourth room crawling on top of them!"
The Shu sisters both thought the idea was a good one, so they had a tough fight with Emperor Xuanjing that night. The next month, Emperor Xuanjing issued an imperial edict and promoted Meng Guiyu to the first rank, making him Marquis of Chongxin and making him his younger brother. Meng Guihan was named Yongning Bo, and was given wealth, silk, and beauties in his mansion.
The news caused an uproar in the court. King Gaomi and the Meng family united to ask Emperor Xuanjing to withdraw his order. However, after the Shu sisters heard the news, they publicly said: "Your Majesty has spoken so eloquently that the imperial edict has gone east, but those ministers refused to accept it. Very soon I beg you to take back your life, then obviously I don’t take you seriously and intend to rebel!!!”
That's why Emperor Xuanjing smashed the jade seal when King Gaomi and Duke Zheng were admonishing him face to face: "I am the lord of Tiandong, and I can't even get a title, but how am I different from you and other puppets?! From the Ming Dynasty onwards, the jade seal will also Don’t leave it in the palace, let’s discuss the separation between the two of us, okay?!”
Although it was said that because Emperor Xuanjing was tired of political affairs, the jade seal had not been used by King Gaomi and the Meng family all these years, but the emperor himself said that, King Gaomi and Zheng Guogong had neither the intention nor the capital to rebel at that time, so of course they would not immediately I knelt down to the East to plead guilty, but I didn't even dare to say so.
Emperor Xuan Jing was so insistent, and the Shu sisters kept saying next to them: "Did those people deliberately make Bi Dong angry? If they make Bi Dong angry, let them be the masters of their own affairs!" Word spread, causing Chang'an to suspect in the Eastern Capital whether the King of Gaomi and the Meng family planned to join forces to kill the king
Although the Emperor was recognized as a foolish emperor at that time, because King Gaomi and the Meng family were in charge, most local politics were very clear. When Li Shu mentioned it, he said, "It is outrageous for the Emperor to favor Ershu so much" and turned around. Don't worry about it, I actually don't have much resentment towards the Rong family, especially when the northeastern frontier is at war. Any regicide rebellion at that time will definitely disappoint the people.
The King of Gaomi had a private discussion with the Meng family, and felt that he could not stop it, so he just followed Emperor Xuanjing's wishes.
The Shu sisters were still not satisfied. Within a few months, they instigated Emperor Xuanjing to hand over the two forbidden armies outside the Chunbo Lake Navy, totaling 5,000 people, to the command of Meng Guiyu.
There are a total of 200,000 imperial troops stationed in Linyuan, not including the Chunbo Lake Navy. The current number of the navy is between 10,000 and 20,000. In that case, it seemed okay to add 5,000 infantry to Meng Guiyu, but for King Gaomi and the Meng family, this was a very dangerous signal.
The danger was so great that the King of Gaomi even wrote a letter overnight and sent a messenger to Rong Suihe, begging him to persuade the Shu sisters not to be confused.
When Rong Suihe received the letter, he had just pulled out his usual dagger from an assassin's body and skillfully turned sideways to get out of the way of the spurting blood.
