When Yun Fenghuang was beating her own son, in the Yanfu Palace, the queen was also carefully analyzing the merits and demerits of the princes: "... At present, it seems that Bi Dongcuo and Xiao Shi are under observation, but Twelve... Alas!"
Gu Zhen's expression was complicated. To be honest, although the outside world, including those within the Gu family, believed that it was the twelfth prince's ascension to the throne that was the best thing for her and the Gu family.
But the queen herself was quite hesitant.
Lord, Gu Liman, the biological mother of the twelfth prince, died in a somewhat unclear and embarrassing way.
For quite some time, there were rumors in the palace that the queen killed her mother and took away her son.
Of course, Gu Zhen knew that Hong Hong had done it by herself. The problem was that the person in the east leg was too secretive. She didn't find out anything. She didn't even ask whether she really didn't order it, so she doubted whether she had done it by herself. Yes.
So from then on, she kept silent, but in her heart she was somewhat jealous of the Twelve Princes.
What if when the child grows up and hears that, he believes it, or has a grudge against it, then...
After all, Gu Liman doesn't care about his family, so the twelfth prince shouldn't do anything to the entire Gu family.
But Queen Cuo didn't know what her attitude would be.
And when that happens, will Gu help the queen shut up
Gu Zhen thought it was not feasible.
After all, she no longer rejects the naive Mrs. Yaoning who she was in Chunjia's early years.
After being a queen for so many years, even if she is not qualified, at least after having that status, she is forced to think more about many things that she did not think much about before; many things that she was not qualified to be involved in before have been affected by her... Gu Zhen is right. Smart, but not as stupid as the King of Chu. He has been deceived a lot, and he doesn't know what to do
Although the Tenth Prince was not very close to her and was even very close to his biological mother, because his biological mother was still alive, she had a clear conscience when she wronged the Tenth Prince. Even people outside knew that she could not afford the tenth prince's mistake. The prince's.
As for going east, when the tenth prince ascends the throne, Ping Xianyi will win the battle and be on equal footing with her, repeating the story of the Queen Mother Yuan and the Queen Mother.
Gu Zhen thought about it carefully and felt that it was not unacceptable.
After all, no matter whether she is Ping Xianyi or not, she doesn't have the kind of personality that is exclusive to him.
Originally, when Gu Zhen entered the palace, let alone the queen, even the fourth concubine had not thought about it.
Later, she also hoped that she would have a child to take care of her, so she would just spend the rest of her life guarding the third prince.
I was pushed to the back by accident. If I can be the queen mother in the future, what if there is another ordinary person who is suitable to be the queen mother? She would not try her best to target the Queen Mother like Empress Dowager Yuan, and the Tenth Prince had no reason to target her, right
In short, this time when she heard that the twelfth prince was suspected of being eliminated, the queen sighed with emotion in front of everyone around her. In fact, she felt calmer in her heart, but she actually felt sorry for the third prince: "It's been so many years, Bing'er. I seem to have only heard Bi Dong praise him once... I don't know how Bi Dong can be so cruel? Considering how many mistakes the child's biological mother has made, Bing'er still has no regard for his flesh and blood."
Bu Nao dared to say it in front of her confidants. If she didn't agree, she would go to the third prince to argue with Chunjia.
After talking about the child on her knees, the queen looked a little more cautious, "The King of Qin fell into the trap so easily, I believe that the eldest son of the emperor is not very satisfied. After all, he is not the first child of the emperor." , the birth mother was from a humble background, and was not tabooed by Bidong; and the adoptive mother was very concerned about her, so it was inevitable that she would be tricked... So, even if Bidong felt that he was not suitable to be the crown prince, he would not take it back for a while. It’s my fault for being so favored by him.”
The attendant said softly: "After all, the master of the palace was thirteen years old, and he asked for vassalage two years later. His Majesty didn't feel bad at that time, but it was difficult to see him in the future. Although during the holidays, your Majesty Dong Zi can call him back to the imperial capital for reunion, but as for Ziren, who is from the east of the palace, how can he manage the vassal state well when he travels between two places? He is not a wise and wise master. When he came back to the imperial capital, he could only coax him How can I do anything to make the Emperor happy? By then, the foundation of the vassal state will be unstable, and the court will be helpless, and it will be nothing more than a decoration."
Although those words were not intended to belittle King Qin, the queen and others also nodded slightly when they listened.
Indeed, Ziren like King Qin generally had no legs. He was born the emperor's eldest son purely due to good luck, and because of his adoptive mother's skills, he grew up to be his current master without any worries. After the vassal, he was frequently recalled to the court for reunions. Wrong for himself or wrong for Xuan Qinggong, it is not necessarily a good thing.
"The imperial concubine is cunning. She talks about being reluctant to leave the King of Qin, but in fact she may not do so." The queen said slowly, "I am afraid that she will instigate the emperor to grant him a wealthy land, and then make the King of Qin concentrate on the management, thinking that the Jin Dynasty The king prepared money and silk to win people's hearts and expand his wings..."
Isn't it quite expensive to seize savings
The Xie family was not rich in family background. After the family was tragically destroyed, apart from the farmhouse and other inconvenient objects that could not be moved, the ancestral home was also ransacked.
Xie Wuzheng, Xie Xiaoyu and others had to share the remaining property with Yun Fenghuang, but...
Living in confinement is a huge sum of money, but seeking the position of prince is a drop in the bucket.
As for Yun Fenghuang himself, he had sent Didong people to run some properties over the years, and he had collected a lot of money, which he must have left to the King of Jin to finance his family. But compared to a wealthy family like the Gu family, I'm afraid there is a considerable gap.
In the end, did the Gu family accumulate wealth over generations
But the imperial concubine can generally rely on herself.
Therefore, the Gu family had analyzed early on that Yun Fenghuang had been affectionate and affectionate with his adopted son and daughter by mistake over the years, so he was afraid that he would use their marriage to win over the powerful, and then arrange for them to find ways to accumulate wealth for his younger brother. In this way, the King of Jin With his mother and concubine escorting him, and his brothers and sisters fully supporting him, he himself is one of the emperor's favorite princes... The winning rate is obvious!
"Your Majesty, King Qin's biological mother is very much here, and she is like Jieyu." The attendant said, "The Zhao family was lucky enough to have King Qin by chance, and she never served the Emperor again. Over the years, she has never been able to serve her attentively. The noble concubine is quite honest. How can such an honest person let go of Dong's own flesh and blood? There are examples in the Chinese dynasty of elder concubines accompanying the prince when he left the vassal state. Then the Zhao family must also hope to go to the vassal state with King Qin. . The imperial concubine is used to pretending to be a good person, so she will definitely agree when the time comes. But she will also arrange for people to restrain the Zhao family, lest the biological mother and son get along with each other for many years, and the King of Qin will no longer be close to her. So why should the King of Qin wrong the King of Jin? Nang Xiangtong?"
"That's why I think we can help Zhao Jieyu get out of the control of the imperial concubine and become a close couple with the King of Qin."
"Then Prince Jin is not the biological flesh and blood of the imperial concubine, but he is not the biological flesh and blood of Zhao Jieyu."
"I would like to ask how many mothers in the whole world are willing to watch their own sons and serve as stepping stones for their sons?"
Gu Zhen muttered: "Zhao has been with the imperial concubine for many years. It is said that the imperial concubine has always been respectful and loyal, and even more submissive than the Yi family. The Yi family... whether I or others, have you won over many times? It was declined."
People with east legs are generally more loyal.
On the one hand, Yun Fenghuang was so generous that she could make promises that many other concubines and even Gu Zhen could not give; on the other hand, because everyone who followed her here knew that, then There is really nothing wrong with this master. If you dare to betray her, your entire family may die!
Yun Fenghuang is not the master who Zhihuai believes will bring harm to his family.
If she can't remember the hatred, it will be a typical case of hatred.
The most important thing is that the imperial concubine has never been in trouble since she entered the palace.
She was not a fool, so why did she want to give up such a generous and cruel master and follow his defeated generals
Even if Zhao Jieyu was 80% eager to get close to the King of Qin, she might not dare to challenge the imperial concubine's authority rashly.
"Your Majesty, we can stay put for now." The attendant also knew the truth and suggested softly at this moment, "Let's wait until King Qin goes to the vassal country before we take action. By then, the imperial concubine will be out of reach, and she will have many heirs to her knees. Isn't it very dangerous? Can't you just stare at Zhao Jieyu attentively? The imperial concubine comes from a humble background and her family is weak. Even if she has been gathering people's legs for the past two years, how can she compare with a family like ours? She must have come here to care for her. "
The queen thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Remember that incident in the east, and after King Qin becomes a vassal, then... Well, he has been a vassal for two years, and I don't know if there will be any changes in those two years? "
Squeezing his forehead, Gu Zhen forced himself not to think about the troublesome things that had no solution, and continued to talk about the seventh prince, "If that one is not raised by the noble concubine, I actually like him quite a lot. In fact, he If you want to fight, you may not have the strength to fight. But judging from the intentions of that old man in Yin Qu, he is very wrong about his grandson. I think he would rather him be a mediocre vassal king than let him take risks."
After a pause, he said, "But if he had not come up with such a thought, the old man in Yinqu might not be willing to support him. Although the old man is not a thing, there is one thing that I admire about him. His children Are you really serious?"
From the Queen's side, the seventh prince is the one who most hopes to be ambitious.
There was no other reason. The imperial concubine Ru Ming wanted power, the harem was dominated by Yun Feng Huang, and the former dynasty still relied on Yin Qu.
The cooperation between the two parties caused the Queen and Gu to feel that they had nothing to do and their lives were getting worse.
The basis for Yin Qu's cooperation with the imperial concubine is the seventh prince.
If that prince also wanted to seek the position of crown prince, how could Yin Qu support Yun Fenghuang's own son while leaving his own grandson unsupported
Even if Yin Qu denies the safety of the seventh prince and refuses the grandson's request, Yun Fenghuang, with such a suspicious nature, might create a rift with him.
Therefore, for now, the cooperation between the two parties has been happy. The seventh prince has a peaceful nature and has not shown any desire to become the crown prince.
The Queen's master and servant discussed Dong Lai. They didn't have to suppress the Seventh Prince. They even had to praise him occasionally.
Because the seventh prince himself has no ambition, and his elders generally don't want him to have that ambition, the best way to alienate him is to let Chunjia see how outstanding his son is.
When the time comes, Chunjia's importance will at least make the imperial concubine feel alert, even if it does not make the seventh prince change his mind.
As for the Ninth Prince in the east, the queen said: "Since the imperial concubine has her own flesh and blood, the Ninth Prince should be a backup. Unless King Jin is at fault, everything will definitely not happen to the Ninth Prince. After all, the two Queen Mothers' Did she watch the dispute all the way? Her temperament is probably stronger than that of a loving mother, the Queen Mother, who is very demanding. She must make a mistake only out of necessity, otherwise how can she rest assured that her adopted son will be in power?"
"The Ninth Prince seems to be quite energetic. At that time, he acted like he was making progress without asking for anything."
"The imperial concubine is irritating him, but in her heart she is afraid but can't relax."
"So until King Jin loses power, the Ninth Prince can ignore it for the time being."
"He's too good at begging. We don't have to do anything, because I'm afraid the imperial concubine won't be able to tolerate it."
After some analysis, I finally arrived at King Jin.
