Jiang was also a little embarrassed: "Husband and wife are one, and if you stay and fulfill your filial piety, no one can fault you. But the prince's words... Although you can force him to stay on the pretext of filial piety, it's scary. Your Majesty thinks this is a This is a rare opportunity to train the crown prince, so I will definitely take him with me."
Yun Fenghuang was also worried about this. Chunjia was very satisfied with Gong Xiangbing. At his age, frankly speaking, it was time for him to teach his successor.
After all, a fifteen-year-old prince is still too immature to support a family, let alone preside over such a large country
Chunjia was considered a powerful one. It took him eight years to take office at the age of 23. After that, he did not immediately start a war. Instead, he quietly eliminated political opponents bit by bit. In recent years, Just then, he let go of his hands and feet, cleaning up the temple and considering cutting down the vassal vassal.
In the early years, the emperor was very cautious.
There will never be such a big move again.
Considering the lifespan of Chunjia's biological father and heir, as long as Gong Xiangbing made no mistakes, the emperor would never be indifferent to him.
"Or let the Queen Mother personally ask to keep the prince here." Jiang said slowly, "Maybe this can convince your majesty?"
"No." However, Yun Fenghuang, who knew Chunjia very well, shook his head and said, "Although the Empress Dowager and the Prince are related by blood, the Empress Dowager has never cared about the life and death of the King of Song and the Prince in these years. Even if the Empress Dowager personally confesses that she is still attached to the two children, Your Majesty is not happy to see the twin princes getting close to the Empress Dowager. Furthermore, Your Majesty also knows that I have no good intentions towards the Prince. If he leaves the palace and returns to the palace City, if you don’t take the prince with you, how can you rest assured? If you do, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to give the prince a chance to monopolize the emperor’s heart?”
Jiang said: "Why don't you go back with the other children?"
"How can those children compete with the prince?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, "Fifteen is still a bit smart, but your majesty is a person who knows the importance. Before he established the prince, he might have observed a few things. Now that the prince has been appointed, , unless the other children show overwhelming intelligence and ability, he will say nice things, but the most important thing in his heart is the prince. If Fifteen and they suppress the prince too much, even if he does not scold him openly, he will make extra amends to the prince afterwards. . In the end, Gong Xiangbing got the better of him!"
"But if you don't bring it up yourself, I'm afraid His Majesty will take the initiative to entrust you with this situation in this situation." Jiang was silent for a while and sighed, "The result will be the same by then, and you can't do this. Favor.”
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but remain silent.
She knew what Jiang said made sense. Based on the foundation laid so far when Chunjia ascended the throne, if the vassal king rebelled just because of the reduction of the vassal, he would definitely be able to suppress it.
After all, the emperor's righteousness and his military record against Wei He over the years meant that the vassals could not cause any trouble.
But the existence of Shenzong's edict is different.
It would be fine if this was a lie, but even the Empress Dowager admitted that it was true.
In this case, Chunjia's original biggest advantage, his legitimate identity, has been questioned. Now that he has lost the first battle, he can no longer ignore it.
Qishan Palace was originally only used for summer vacation, and was not as comprehensive as the palace in every aspect.
Not to mention that it was already time to return to the Imperial Capital, even if it hadn't arrived, Chunjia would definitely leave in the next two days and go to the palace in person to take charge of the overall situation.
And the Empress Dowager will definitely not be able to leave. When the time comes, in order to protect the emperor's filial piety and grasp the situation, if she, the empress, doesn't stay, who will stay
As for the prince, Chunjia will definitely take him with him and teach him through words and deeds.
"... If it doesn't work, let the Crown Princess stay and fulfill her filial piety." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while and said, "Let Concubine Meng follow the Crown Prince and serve her."
"The Crown Princess is not good at it." Jiang Shi frowned, "Even if she hates Concubine Meng because of this, Concubine Meng is a noble lady, so I'm afraid she can't control it. Especially the Crown Prince's feelings for the Crown Princess are just that. I don’t think this princess can cause any trouble."
Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "The Crown Princess is not good, but the Wei behind the Crown Princess must be very popular with His Majesty. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have chosen their daughter to be the Princess for the Crown Prince. Let's see if Wei is available. What's going on?"
After saying this thoughtfully, he ordered Chen Jing, "Go and check, what has Wei Changkong done in the past two years?"
After Wei Changkong left as regent, he accepted Chunjia's recruitment. He was initially responsible for teaching the emperor's heirs, and then was observed for several years. His performance during this period was recognized by the emperor, and he entered the court to take charge of affairs.
But I don't know if he was taught a lesson during Xiaozong's reign, and he has never had a sense of existence.
Normally, his qualifications and scientific examination results would cause a stir after entering the court, but even Yun Fenghuang didn't think much of him.
At this time, Chen Jing went to find out more and came back to report that it was not that this person had done nothing over the years, he was just a sidekick and a sidekick, and had never been on his own.
It seemed that the emperor didn't trust him very much, but Yun Fenghuang analyzed it carefully and shook his head: "He has read almost all six books over the years. Your Majesty is deliberately cultivating him."
After a pause, "After Yin Qu goes down, the head of the Meng family will be the most important person. From now on, Wei Changkong will also have a place in the position of prime minister and assistant."
"He must have a place." Jiang reminded, "It is difficult to govern personally today. Back then, in order to target the Ji family, the regent, the Cui family, and the Zheng family, we had to find ways to win over the Yin family and other high-ranking families. So over the years, Not only did the daughters of these families occupy high positions in the palace, but in the court, the important ministers who assisted the government, from Ouyang Yanran, to Yin Qu, to the current head of the Meng family, who were not from high-ranking families? But the emperor took office the following year Just open Enke and recruit children from poor families, which shows his heart!"
The emperor was determined not to see aristocratic families survive forever. After all, the growth and existence of these famous families was a threat to the imperial power.
However, Chunjia had to compromise in his early years because he was not from the main branch.
But to compromise with the head of the Meng family, I guess it's almost enough.
If King Mao hadn't appeared, in a few years, when the head of the Meng family would step down, he would probably be replaced by Wei Changkong, a representative from the imperial examination.
Next, the emperor will also reuse a large number of children from poor families in order to weaken the power and status of famous families.
In this case, as long as Wei Changkong lives up to his expectations, the emperor will not give up even if the others in the Wei family are worse.
Even if other people in Webster are not so useful, the emperor can rest assured.
Therefore, Wei Xiyan's position as the crown princess seems to be in danger, but the chance of Wei Xiyan becoming a relative of the country is quite solid.
If Wei Xiyan doesn't work, then replace her with another one. It's not like Wei Xiyan doesn't have any other daughters.
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while and said, "In other words, if we can't deal with the crown prince in the past few years, it will only be more difficult for Wei Changkong to take over."
There is no chance at all.
The prince is always alert and calm, and is not easy to take advantage of.
Furthermore, Wei Changkong was an in-law, with a well-established foundation and full wings. Even if the emperor wanted to abandon him, he would be opposed by the ministers, let alone Yun Fenghuang, the queen
"It's best to take action now while everything is busy inside and outside." Jiang sighed, "You have been in the palace for many years, but there are no arrangements for the East Palace..."
Yun Fenghuang said: "Yes, there is, but it cannot be hidden from His Majesty's eyes and ears. How can it be done lightly?"
She frowned and said, "This eye is so broken. Even if the prince has anything, I'm afraid your majesty will not touch him. After all, King Mao is still causing trouble, and your majesty will strive for stability for the sake of stability."
Not only the prince, but also the queen.
At this time, no bad news can be spread from Chunjia.
Even if it really happened, they would definitely try their best to cover it up and never spread it.
The mother and daughter discussed for a while but found no good solution, and their hearts were heavy.
But that evening, after Jiang left the palace, Chunjia suddenly put aside many government affairs and came to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion.
When Yun Fenghuang heard the report, his heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he welcomed him in and sat down. After a few words of gossip, the emperor mentioned the matter of returning to the palace.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, what he said was that he hoped to go back alone to take charge of the overall situation and let the queen stay in the palace to control the situation.
"I am just discussing this matter with my mother today." Yun Fenghuang was filled with hatred, but on his face he said reasonably, "Your Majesty can't come here today, and I will go to you tomorrow to report this matter." Yes, thieves are rampant, so Your Majesty must go to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible to take charge. As for the Imperial Grandmother, I will let you fulfill your filial piety on your behalf."
Then he said casually, "The prince must be going with you, but the prince and concubine Meng Fangfei like me very much. How about letting them stay with me for a while?"
She had discussed with the Jiang family to leave a crown princess alone. Although Wei Xiyan and Meng Posuo were divided, Wei Xiyan's methods may not be as good as Meng Posuo's. The second one was that if Meng Posuo took advantage of the situation, this would be a threat to the middle palace. Not a good thing either.
So it would be better to detain both of them and let Xie Mengmeng do the work, and also let the concubines sent by Yun Fenghuang take advantage of the situation to sleep with them, just in case they give birth to the Donggong heir before the main concubine, that would be good too .
Anyway, whatever can cause trouble for the East Palace, the Middle Palace must do it!
Of course Chunjia also knew the queen's thoughts, but although he valued the prince, he did not care about the mood of the prince's concubine.
Being able to exchange the crown prince and crown prince's concubines for the queen's tolerance and generosity, the emperor did not hesitate at all: "They are our daughters-in-law, so naturally they should be dealt with by you."
Yun Fenghuang then smiled a little and said: "I still have something to ask for. Most of my direct brothers and nephews are withered. Now there is only one nephew, Li'er, who wants to take over my biological mother to support me. I have already promised him, when Your Majesty returns to the Imperial Capital, can you take my birth mother with you?"
She couldn't follow him back, and she didn't trust the prince, so she could only leave it to her mother.
Due to Jiang's status, it is definitely not as convenient for her to do things on her own, but she is smarter and can get along well with Zhao Qing and the others these days.
At critical moments, he can also contribute something.
They are always more reliable than children like Zhaoqing.
