"My master said that the position of the crown prince is related to the country. Your majesty is talented and has great plans. He is determined not to be established because of love. He must consider it carefully." The visitor stood at the foot of the steps and said in a soft voice, "You will even deliberately indulge in the relationship between the princes. After several battles, the best candidate will be decided. But this is not the case for the second position. Even though the second position can also be involved in the position of prince, it is separated by a layer and can get more compromise from His Majesty. "
Yun Fenghuang frowned and said: "It also depends on who sits in the back seat. Like Gu Zhen, who has the position of queen but has never accomplished anything, so it's okay. If I... Your Majesty can rest assured?"
The visitor said softly: "Replying to your majesty, my master said that your majesty is wise and mighty, but you are also a human being. How can a human being be ruthless? I have served your majesty for more than ten years and have won your trust. However, when she was pregnant, she... How can your majesty not feel guilty for the many hardships the mother and son have suffered at the hands of the deposed queen? Therefore, the empress may not be incapable of fighting."
"This is inappropriate." Yun Fenghuang shook his head categorically, "Whether this move succeeds or fails, it will consume the friendship between me and Your Majesty. If it succeeds, it will force Your Majesty to no longer favor the prince under my knees. Isn't it because of the small that the big is lost?"
She used to only want to be a queen, but over the years, people's ideas will inevitably change.
When Gu Zhen was still here, her treatment as a noble concubine was no worse than that of Gu Zhen.
Now that Gu Zhen has been abandoned, she is actually the queen.
In this case, why bother to be honest
Her goal has never been Yanfu Palace, but Qingci Palace!
"If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous."
The imperial concubine looked at the visitor and said slowly, "After all, His Majesty has no shortage of heirs now, and he has people like me taking care of the harem. If he does not plan to appoint a new queen for the time being, it will be self-defeating! Yin Shangshu recently What's going on? How could you come up with such a bad idea?"
The visitor sighed, looked around, and saw that they were all people whom the imperial concubine trusted, so he took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is very smart, so you must have noticed that your majesty appreciates King Wu? "
Yun Fenghuang's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "It is indeed true, but His Majesty is only admiring it..."
"Your Majesty has been in the palace for a long time, so you probably don't know yet. Your Majesty's appreciation for King Wu is probably more than what your Majesty expected." The visitor interrupted her and told her several errands, all of which were very difficult and needed. The host is capable and courageous, "I originally reserved two items for His Majesty the King of Qin or the King of Yan to dispose of, so as to demonstrate his abilities, but who knew that they were all arranged by His Majesty to be given to His Highness the King of Wu!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang took a deep breath and said, "Then what?"
"Then His Highness King Wu dealt with everything. The maid was stupid and didn't know how well he dealt with it. All I know is that after my master heard the results of His Highness King Wu's treatment, he didn't say anything for a while." The visitor whispered, "Follow. Let the maid enter the palace to persuade the empress to seek the throne."
Then he said, "The affairs in the palace must not be hidden from the empress. I dare to ask the empress, what will King Wu do after the queen is deposed and goes to the cold palace?"
Yun Fenghuang has been so busy lately, where can he take care of other things
Hearing this, he glanced at the Qing people below. The Qing people looked at Chi E, and Chi E's face turned not so good: "Returning to your Majesty, the King of Wu has sent people to take care of the dead queen privately many times. At the New Year's Eve banquet, His Majesty rewarded all the emperor's heirs. The king of Wu got some food and clothing, and he turned around and ordered people to send them to the deposed queen."
Also, "The King of Wu also secretly took care of His Highness the King of Chu."
The visitor added at the bottom: "The reason why Your Majesty remembered that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was also going to marry a concubine was because His Royal Highness King Wu reminded him euphemistically. He also knelt down and begged Your Majesty not to blame His Highness the King of Chu for his strange behavior. For ordinary people, he will be locked up in the palace for many years. After all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu got into trouble due to illness and was not born stupid. If he marries a wife and has children, he can continue this line of incense and complete the royal father-son friendship. "
"..." Yun Fenghuang's face was ashen and he didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he asked Chie, "Why didn't you report such a big matter to me?!"
Chicai knelt down with a pale face to apologize.
But the imperial concubine reacted immediately, sighed and said, "I don't blame you. After all, the deposed queen also raised the King of Wu. After she was abandoned, the King of Wu visited and cared for her privately. This is the reward that a son of man should have. Even if I knew about it, how could I still stop him? You didn't report it to me because it was for my own good, so that I wouldn't be upset about it."
As for King Wu taking care of King Chu, the situation is similar.
The King of Wu and the King of Chu were half-brothers of the same father and mother, and they both grew up in front of the deposed queen. Naturally, they had a particularly deep bond.
In the early days when Gu Zhen was not abandoned, he often visited the King of Chu.
Now that Gu Zhen was deposed, he took over the care of the King of Chu. It was reasonable and reasonable. Even if the concubine had the image of a loving mother, even if he knew about it, how could he stop her
Not only could he not stop him, he even had to praise King Wu for his kindness and kindness!
Yun Fenghuang's exhaustion these days has been seen by everyone, so they are naturally worried that if she knows about it, there is no good way to do it, but it will only add to the trouble.
"Your Majesty, my maid is not good and she has made her own decisions." Chihe was lying on the ground, not daring to get up, and said in a harsh voice, "If your Majesty knows about King Wu taking care of King Chu, and nothing else, this will remind your Majesty to give Chu The Queen can certainly think of the matter of His Highness choosing a concubine, but how can she sell it to King Wu?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In Your Majesty's heart, I have always been kind to the emperor's heirs. Whether I have neglected this matter or remembered it, Your Majesty will not care."
After all, she was well established and established early, and the emperor had already left a deep impression on her, so she was worthy of such a compliment.
"The best thing is to let the emperor raise the matter, but your Majesty knows the nature of the emperor under my knees, because they have been accustomed to my care for many years, and they are not familiar with the King of Chu. How could they imagine such a thing? "
"Even if you tell me, Your Majesty will know that I was the one who suggested it."
"What's the use of that?"
The emperor might praise the prince for being sensible and friendly, but in fact, he didn't take it seriously. He felt that this was not the child's own merit, but the concubine's ability to teach the child.
But King Wu, this little guy...
The imperial concubine closed her eyes and asked the person sent by Yin Qu: "So, your Majesty has made up his mind?"
"As for your Majesty, my master said that we are at least 70 to 80% sure." The visitor sighed, "So I would like to ask your Majesty to be prepared for the worst."
It's really not that Xuanqinggong doesn't work hard, but that King Wu is too capable.
The king of Qin and several others would be no match for this one if they were tied up.
Coming from the Yinqu family, he was accustomed to intrigues and fights for power, and he had been immersed in temples for many years. He had always been with the emperor. Yun Fenghuang naturally believed in his judgment.
At this moment, I understand that Yin Qu advised him to temporarily put aside the struggle over the country and seek to succeed him.
After all, the emperor had feelings for her. Even if he appointed the king of Wu for his overall interests, he would definitely feel guilty for her.
At this time, the emperor proposed to make up for the succession, even if he knew that it would bring trouble to the king of Wu, and even bring changes in the future, it would be difficult to refuse.
Taking a step back, even if he really refused, he would definitely try to make up for it elsewhere.
In this way, there is still a chance.
After all, the prince is not the emperor. If he doesn't ascend the throne for a day, he still has a chance.
"... I know." Yun Fenghuang closed his eyes, thought quickly for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Minister Yin... By the way, how long can he stay in the position of minister?"
The visitor said: "In as little as three days, as long as half a month, someone will come forward to impeach the Yin clan for various illegal behaviors. My master plans to ask himself to resign at that time, and he will probably be sent out of the imperial capital to seek refuge somewhere. A refuge from the limelight.”
The imperial concubine's heart sank. This meant that Yin Qu would not only lose his current position of power, but he would also not be able to stay in the imperial capital to advise her!
There was no need for further analysis from Yin Qu. Based on this, she felt that Chun Jia was probably determined.
Is this not giving the imperial concubine any chance to disrupt the situation
Will he be able to succeed by himself? ?
Especially since she was pregnant.
If this child is born as a prince, he will be the legitimate legitimate son.
Of course there will be few people to support the establishment of a direct heir, but how much older is King Wu than this child
Isn't Chunjia afraid that what happened in Sejong's last years will happen again
"Does Shangshu Yin have anything else to say?" Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment and asked in a deep voice.
Seeing the visitor shaking his head, she sighed and asked someone to reward him with something, "I know, please go back to Yin Shangshu and say that I thank him for this suggestion."
After a pause, she continued, "The marriage of King Yan has been decided, but the marriage of King Wei has not been settled yet. It's not like that. I thought that it would be good to get married, but I don't know if Yin Shangshu knows. Are there any outstanding girls in the Yin clan?"
Everyone on the left and right were shocked, and after the messenger left, they said, "My dear, why do you want to marry a daughter of the Yin family for His Highness King Wei?"
"Can't you hear it?" Yun Fenghuang asked back, "Yin Qu will leave his post soon, and even leave the imperial capital! This may be His Majesty's intention, or it may be that this old boy saw that King Wu's situation has become so bad that he deliberately kept these things away... , we are in the deep palace and haven’t heard yet. He specially sent someone to reveal it. Do you think it’s the usual exchange of information? This is because he wants to use this information to exchange for King Wei’s future!"
The imperial concubine breathed out slowly, "What he cares about most in his life are his two daughters and their daughter's blood. Princess Yi is the emperor's sister-in-law, and the emperor is the adopted heir. As long as King Yi himself does not commit any crimes, the emperor will definitely continue to do so." Princess Yi will benefit from treating him courteously, but there is nothing for him to worry about; besides Xiao Qi."
"Now he is going far away. Apparently he feels that King Wu is difficult to suppress him, so he uses this method to downplay the grudge between him and King Wu."
"But he can go far away, Princess Yi can come to the imperial capital less often, but King Wei is still under my knees... If it hadn't been for this reason, I'm afraid he wouldn't have sent anyone over to give me advice today!"
She sneered, "At this time, if I don't agree to plan for King Wei in the future, what do you think he will do next?"
"He might have turned around and voted for King Wu!"
"Although King Wu is favored by His Majesty and is expected to take over the East Palace, he is still young, has not been in power for a long time, and is a wealthy man. Do you think he will reject Yin Qu?"
That is absolutely impossible. If King Wu had no courage at all, it would be impossible for him to be favored by the emperor.
"The old man is negotiating terms with me!" Yun Fenghuang thought and said bitterly, "I will hire a girl for King Wei who will not cause trouble in the future, and then send her to the vassal as soon as possible. Yin Qu He will take the initiative to leave the center without helping each other! Otherwise, he will join the King of Wu on the condition that the future of King Wei is in danger!"
After all, interests are allies, and natural interests come first!
