After Chunjia left Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion that day, she returned to Xingxintang and silently did not deal with government affairs for a long time.
Looking around worriedly, Yan Yin then stepped forward and carefully asked the reason.
"I want to establish the king of Wu, but the biological mother and adoptive mother of the king of Wu have a grudge against the imperial concubine." The emperor sighed, "When I am here, the king of Wu will not dare to make trouble. If I am gone, the imperial concubine, mother and son will not know how Wu How will the king deal with it? Especially the imperial concubine is my favorite, and the emperor's eldest daughter Zhaoqing is also the jewel in my hands. For the sake of the family and the country, King Wu's character, talent and talent are all chosen by the East Palace; for personal reasons, the imperial concubine has served me for more than ten years Zai, the eldest son and eldest daughter are pure, filial and lovely, how can we give up?"
The emperor himself is in trouble with such a matter, who dares to give him advice
Yan Yin didn't dare to say a word and turned around. The emperor's difficulty was conveyed to King Wu.
After hearing the news, King Wu was silent for a long time and said, "Father, this is the exam for the orphans in the school."
His attendants were frightened when they heard this: "This must have been done deliberately by the imperial concubine, but how did the imperial concubine know about it? Didn't His Majesty tell you before not to make it public?"
"If the imperial concubine is really so easy to deceive, how could she have favored her for so many years?" King Wu said lightly, "But it is not her that I have to deal with, but my father. As long as my father has made up his mind, there is nothing the imperial concubine can do."
He pondered for a while, "There is actually no grudge between the orphan and the imperial concubine. Even the things that were bullied by King Qin and Zhaoqing can be attributed to the children's playing and making trouble, and they have long been ignored! In the final analysis, It is still the enmity between the biological mother, the adoptive mother and the imperial concubine that is difficult to eliminate."
The most important thing is that the imperial concubine will not believe that such grudges can be eliminated.
"This is not something that Gu can handle." King Wu thought about it for a moment and then said, "The person who tied the bell has to be tied to untie the bell, and the birth mother has to pay it back. You Gu and your second brother have never met each other, and they can't talk about it. What a profound relationship I have with you, the main thing is my adoptive mother. Simply, since my mother is still here, I’d better let my mother make the decision on this matter.”
After Gu Zhen was deposed, because her position was not clearly defined, it was difficult to call her mother, concubine, or concubine, so King Wu called her mother.
The attendant was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "Your Highness, Madam Gu has always been kind and honest, I'm afraid she won't deal with such a matter?"
Gu Zhen's level of palace fighting and his ability to figure out what his superiors want are really not reassuring.
King Wu said calmly: "She doesn't understand. Of course there are others who understand and are willing to teach her... The Gu family is in prison, but they are not dead yet."
"The imperial concubine will definitely not let them go. King Chongxin, who they have high hopes for, is no longer possible. The twelfth brother is young and doesn't have much hope now."
"They can only count on being alone."
The attendant whispered: "But if you go through the imperial edict, your Majesty will definitely know about it?"
"How many things in the former harem do you think your father doesn't know?" King Wu asked back, "For example, you were actually cultivated by the Ji family, and you were specially placed to educate orphans when they were young. Do you really think that your father doesn't know about it?" clear?"
These words were so sudden that the waiter froze!
After a long while, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Slave..."
"It's nothing." King Wu looked sideways at him, his eyes very calm, "Father doesn't care, even these years, he deliberately ignored Gu and his second brother, maybe not to attract your appearance. Gu doesn't care, no matter what you have No matter what the purpose, after all, Gu has gained certain benefits. As long as the person in charge is Gu, a descendant of the Gongxiang family, there will be some calculations and plans, whether Gu or his father, it will not matter. When the water is clear, the water will be clear. Father understands the principle of no fish, and Gu also understands it very well."
"The second brother also has people from your side, right? It's just that Concubine Cui Shu is not like her mother. She has many children under her knees to distract her attention. She only focuses on the second brother, and she handles it when she detects some clues, and does not give the second brother any chance to covet the big position. Opportunity."
King Wu sighed, "My father was still a little regretful when he talked about this. He felt that if the second brother hadn't been raised by Concubine Cui Shu, he might have achieved something. Then we can compare with Gu to see who is the most outstanding. That? But because Cui Shufei cared too much about her second brother, she won without a fight."
"What are you so afraid of?"
"You still don't understand my father well enough. It's no wonder that a powerful family like the Ji family was destroyed overnight."
"Father's heart is broader than you think."
"As the heir of my father, how can I be left far away?"
"Actually, whether my biological mother or my adoptive mother, I don't care much about the grudges I have with the imperial concubine."
"My father can accommodate the empress dowager, so why can't I tolerate the imperial concubine?"
"As long as she doesn't cause any trouble to Gu in the future and allows her to be an honorable concubine, she can be tolerated even if she is a decoration empress dowager."
"It's just that the concubine cannot believe Gu's thoughts."
The imperial concubine also couldn't believe that King Wu was not old enough to take charge of the family yet. Even if he really thought so, people would always change. After a few years, Chunjia would be gone and he would have no control. Who knows what to think and do
At that time, the person he loved and cared about might have brought a bad end to everyone in Xuanqing Palace just on a whim.
Just like when Xiaozong was in power, even if Ji Sheng had a falling out with her husband or even had a cold war, wasn't she still a noble empress
But in Chunjia's hands, not even the whole body was saved.
His posthumous name is even more of a mess.
Chunjia is doing the first grade of junior high school herself, how can she not worry about others doing the fifteenth grade
What's more, the imperial concubine is not as confused as Gu Zhen. This master has never been a good person.
"Unless father gives me such an embarrassment, it will never come to me." King Wu said, "This is a test for me and a warning to me. My father is satisfied with me in everything. I am just afraid that Gu will be harsh on Xuanqing Palace in the future... In other words, as long as Gu takes care of this matter, no one can compete for the position of the East Palace."
He said calmly, "Otherwise, with my father's love for the imperial concubine, I'm afraid there will still be twists and turns."
The attendant was both happy and frightened: "But among the princes, who can be better than you? The imperial concubine herself can make your majesty happy, and the prince under her knee is also favored, but your majesty is wise and powerful, and she doesn't care about being appointed as the heir apparent. He likes each prince more, but it depends on which prince can shoulder the responsibility of the crown prince better. The princes of Xuanqing Palace have been doted on since childhood, and they are used to being protected by the concubine and the majesty when things happen. In terms of mental ability, how can they do it? Compare with you?"
"But my father is still in his prime, so he can afford to wait." King Wu sighed leisurely and said, "Mo Wanggu has more than a dozen younger brothers, and there will be more in the future. Not all of these younger brothers They are all living a carefree life under the protection of the imperial concubine."
He did not continue talking, but changed the topic, "Not long ago, the best hairpin rings from my father's side were sent to my mother in Leng Gong, and the rest will be sent to Webster's."
Although he knew that for Gu Zhen at this moment, the bright hairpin ring was not only of no use, but also made her heartache more and more, but King Wu didn't care. In fact, he didn't really care whether the mother needed the hairpin ring, but he just used this This is just a way to express that he has not forgotten his roots.
But they were all made for Chunjia to see.
Of course Chunjia also knew what his son was really thinking, but at the same time, he didn't care.
He himself knew very well how he came to power. If King Wu was an upright and upright gentleman, Chunjia would not even consider making him the heir apparent.
What the emperor wanted was a successor like King Wu who knew what he should do in his position.
He prefers the children of the imperial concubine, but those who are filial, sensible, well-behaved, lively, pure... are used to please their parents, and no normal parent would not love them.
But what is the use of using it to check and balance the temples, suppress the harem of the former dynasty, fight with the same old foxes, support the country, suppress foreign countries, etc.
It is not easy to defeat the ancestor of the Gongxiang family in this world, and it is not easy for him, who was adopted halfway and became the main supporter of the ZTE to turn the tide. You can't forcefully support the heir, knowing that he is incompetent, and wait for him to pass away. God knows when the time comes. Who is cheaper
He resurrected the country, but he did not defeat it. He was not qualified to treat it as private property and give it to his favorite concubines and children at will.
Chunjia felt that he was not a good person, and he didn't care about doing something unscrupulous, but he felt that he still had a bottom line.
His bottom line is that he is a descendant of the Gongxiang family.
The most important thing should be the Gongxiang family's empire.
Outside the country is his own free-spirited territory.
Yun Fenghuang actually understood and recognized that if he were Chunjia, he would probably do something more decisive than him.
But the problem is that she is not Chunjia, and she is still the one being compared, which is very unbearable.
Since the tactful exchange with the emperor that day, the former harem had been quiet for a few days. On this day, the emperor's palace sent news, saying that the deposed Queen Gu came to the court to meet with His Majesty, Qi Chunjia, for the sake of the couple's marriage, Let her make one final statement.
"The maids do not dare to make the decision, so I would like to ask the imperial concubine to show me." Gu Zhen was originally the most respected person in the harem. After she was deposed, everything was naturally handed over to the imperial concubine.
Therefore, no one dared to convey this letter to the emperor without the consent of the imperial concubine.
Yun Fenghuang glanced at it and saw that the form was not sealed. This was clearly for her convenience. He did not hesitate to check it around and opened it without any manipulation.
Seeing this, she sneered slightly and said, "King Wu is really quick in thinking."
Gu Zhen's letter is more of a confession than a confession.
Abandoning many emotional words recalling the past, the central idea is what wrong things she has done.
Some of them were really done by her, and some were taken by force. In short, in addition to the crime of seducing a foreign man to cuckold the emperor, there were other crimes such as murdering the emperor's heir, disrespecting the emperor and the late emperor, disrespecting the emperor and the queen mother, etc. Count them one by one, admit them all!
In the end, she said that a person like herself was not qualified to be the mother of the emperor's heir, not to mention that none of the emperor's heirs were her biological children.
Therefore, she asked the emperor for permission to break away from the emperor's heirs and have nothing to do with them from now on. In addition, she also asked the emperor to make other arrangements for her heirs so as not to be dragged down by her.
In fact, among the royal heirs under the Queen's knees, the youngest twelfth prince is eleven years old this year and has already lived in Qiongjiu Palace, so he doesn't have to find someone to take care of him.
But that’s what Gu Zhen requested...
Yun Fenghuang's eyes flashed, and after a moment he sneered and threw the form aside: "Since she wants to report to His Majesty, she should report it to him."
