How to arrange it
Is Chao's wheel arranged by this palace
This is Chunjia’s people!
Yun Fenghuang cursed in his heart, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He glanced at Chunjia and said: "The Queen Mother, I have been in the side hall just now, but I don't know much about it. It happens that Chao is now under the influence of She's injured, this... I'm afraid it won't be easy to ask for a while, so I can only go ahead, um, treat her first?"
Empress Dowager Ji nodded and said: "That's exactly what it is! She came all the way from the North, no matter what the reason was, she was definitely not injured and tortured in the Taichu Palace. In short, Let’s heal the person now, and we’ll discuss the rest after the injury is healed.”
"It's just that since the person who attacks her now is related to my Ji family, the Ai family, or the queen, it's not suitable for her to get involved."
"Therefore, you..."
At this point, he also glanced at Chunjia, "Emperor, as I said before, the death of Concubine Shu was decided after Concubine Xian personally interrogated Chao. Now that Concubine Chao is injured, I don't know whether she should still be taken care of by Concubine Xian. ?”
Chunjia thought for a while and said softly: "I asked my mother, if Mrs. Chao is not in trouble, she should be interrogated by the concubine Xian without any delay. But now Mrs. Chao cannot answer for the time being. She cannot live in the house as an outsider. In the palace? It’s not easy for a good concubine to take care of her outside the palace, so she’ll let the Imperial City Secretary watch over her.”
"That's fine." Empress Dowager Ji said warmly, "Since the emperor has an idea, the Ai family won't be nagging and go back to Mianfu Palace first."
Chunjia had no intention of sending her off, but just bowed: "My son, I respectfully send you off to my mother."
Empress Ji blessed the emperor, took the Empress Dowager's arm, and accompanied him to leave.
After leaving the Taichu Palace, Empress Ji turned slightly pale and whispered: "Auntie, is your Majesty planning to...?"
"Why are you panicking?" Queen Mother Ji shook her head and said, "He won't destroy you, at least not this time."
Queen Ji bit her lip: "But what Chao said..."
"It's just to put pressure on our Ji family." Empress Dowager Ji sneered and said, "Don't worry, as long as he wins enough this time, when the time comes, you can hand over a few scapegoats in Yanfu Palace and he will I will admit it. Don't think about it. At the beginning of the new year, the empress dowager, the loving mother, openly and secretly promised the successors to those families. If there is a vacancy in the middle palace now, Ouyang Yanran and other ministers can still work together. Are you going to kill our family completely?"
"She must be busy fighting among herself, and it's too late to help her legitimate daughter win!"
"Chunjia is deeply afraid of us, how could he give our family such a chance to breathe?"
The Queen Mother breathed out slowly and said cautiously, "So, there really is no room for change for Ji, otherwise, even if you want to ask yourself to live in the cold palace, Chunjia will not agree."
Of course, this does not mean that Empress Ji can do whatever she wants, because the emperor just wants her to occupy the back position and give herself time to take her time. But he didn't care that Empress Ji held the title of empress but didn't get the treatment she deserved - she was even bullied and teased by her beloved concubine. As long as the news didn't spread and people talked about the emperor doting on his concubines and destroying his wives, he probably didn't care.
Queen Ji was silent for a while and then said: "We are closely related to our family. Even if my position is safe for the time being, how can I feel at ease when I see my family in crisis?"
She asked in a low voice, "Auntie, that Chao family can't stay!"
"The Ai family thought so before, but you just saw that before the ministers even walked out of the palace, the Chao family was almost wiped out." Empress Dowager Ji said lightly, "Child Chunjia, we all underestimated him, Chao Jingyou, this cheap maid, had been won over by him early in the morning, and she was just waiting for today's backhand blow to deceive our Ji family. Not to mention the big vote, just after the court meeting ended, he hurriedly accused us of "silencing our mouths" … Whenever the Chao family is in danger again, no matter who did it, we will have to back it up…”
"So, not only can't this Chao be killed, but she also has to try to stop others from killing her, and then frame us."
"..." The queen pursed her lips and suddenly said, "Auntie, your Majesty ordered the ministers to discuss Ji's crime. Of course, it was to give Ouyang Yanran and other old thieves a chance to make excuses, but it also gave us time to breathe. Why not? Managed to overturn Chao's previous accusations?"
Queen Mother Ji glanced at her: "The evidence is so perfect, is it so easy to overturn?"
If there was room for overthrow, Duke Ye and the others would not be living off the job, and the court would pursue them and beat them hard.
How could it be possible to acquiesce to Chunjia's decision
"Of course, when deciding a case in court, we must pay attention to iron-clad evidence." The Queen whispered, "But who will make the decision in the fight between us and His Majesty?"
But the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
Therefore, "people are stupid, how can they know what is right and wrong? Your Majesty sees our Ji family as treacherous ministers who are disrupting the country and a stumbling block that hinders the late Emperor Xiaozong and hinders him. But in our Ji family, we have worried about the country and the dynasty in these years." Isn’t that enough? In the past, Emperor Xiaozong listened to dissenting words and regarded flesh and blood as enemies; now, His Majesty, with a low background and limited vision, will inevitably follow in the footsteps of Xiaozong... In the final analysis, I, the Ji family, have been wronged ! Full of loyalty and loyalty, but not recognized by the incompetent king... "
Empress Ji's eyes were cold, "In normal times, people can just listen to this kind of thing. But what if... they need us?"
Queen Mother Ji was thoughtful.
While the aunt and nephew were muttering in the chariot, Yun Fenghuang was following Chun Jia into a side hall.
"Is it your fault that Mr. Chao was injured?" Chunjia sat down, dismissed the idlers, took a sip of the tea from Yan Yin, and asked.
Yun Fenghuang didn't hide it either: "I heard someone say it when I was in the side hall. Chao mentioned the death of Concubine Shu. She thought that Ji's ambition would definitely kill her, so she arranged for Ji's relatives to do it in advance. It came out like this... just to give everyone a heads up."
Chunjia asked curiously: "How did you convince that person to take action?"
The maternal cousin of the queen's natal sister-in-law can be selected as the royal bodyguard. Even if her temperament may be a bit frivolous, she is not that stupid after all.
Even if he really believed what his family told him to kill Chao Jingyou and silence her, as for doing it in Taichu Palace in broad daylight in front of several colleagues? Isn’t this because I am afraid that my life will be too comfortable
If things like this are done, it will be difficult to keep Chunjia even if he is not in charge and the Ji family returns to power.
Let alone now
"I didn't tell him to attack me?" When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he covered his mouth and smiled softly. He glanced at the little chamberlain beside Yan Yin. The little chamberlain smiled shyly at her, and only heard that Concubine Xian He said slowly, "I just asked someone to trick him into a corner and knock him unconscious. Then he took away his weapon, wounded Chao, and then threw it back to him... Anyway, both Chao and Luo Xun, who rescued him, said it was him. He did it, and he had no evidence to prove that he was not present at the time, so who could he be?"
Chunjia sighed and said, "I guess that's the case too."
He also glanced at the little chamberlain.
This time, the little chamberlain couldn't laugh anymore, and subconsciously knelt on the ground: "Slave—"
"That's all, since it's Concubine Xian's order, just do it." Chunjia stared at him for a moment, and noticed that Yun Fenghuang's smile beside him was a little forced. He weighed it in his mind for a moment, then hummed softly and said, " There’s just no next time!”
Although it was beneficial for Xiao Nei to make such arrangements under Yun Fenghuang's orders this time, the most important thing for a person in front of the emperor was to be loyal and obedient, and the most important thing was to only listen to the emperor.
The little chamberlain's move was somewhat overstepping his bounds.
Chunjia naturally wants to beat.
This was also because the person who spoke was Yun Fenghuang, and he was present. He had to give face to the virtuous concubine, so he gently revealed it.
If Yun Fenghuang was not here, or if the little chamberlain listened to other people's instructions, Chunjia would definitely not be so easy to talk to.
As an emperor with eight years of experience as a puppet, Chunjia was very concerned about the loyalty of his servants.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that if I don't do this, the Chao family may not be able to save their lives. The Ji family is so powerful that it is impossible to guard against it." Yun Fenghuang then explained a few words, "Originally, I should have reported this matter to Your Majesty, but If that's the case, I'm afraid some people will suspect His Majesty's instigation... That's why I beheaded first and later, please don't take offense to Your Majesty!"
Chunjia was secretly angry at the young chamberlain, but was reluctant to say harsh words to her beloved concubine: "My beloved concubine is thinking about me, how can I be offended?"
He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he immediately changed the topic, "By the way, how do you plan to arrange Concubine Shu's matter?"
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, I really want to use this matter to depose the queen, and then move into Yanfu Palace myself
But she knew that Chunjia would definitely refuse.
First of all, the queen cannot be abandoned at this moment; secondly, even if the queen is abolished, the person who is suitable for taking the back seat may not be himself.
Who told her that she didn't have a group of fathers, brothers and uncles who could be the emperor's right-hand man and work hard to the death
Chunjia could give her a high-ranking concubine position other than the concubine, and give her the honor and favor that was not inferior to that of the queen, and even give her preference... But for the position of queen, he still chose the person based on family background and the situation of the previous dynasty.
He didn't say this directly, but his words and deeds revealed this point many times.
This emperor Xu was calm and rational because of his troubled life experience.
He is not the kind of master who favors someone and puts everything aside.
He also wants a kingdom, he also loves a beautiful woman - if you think about it carefully, Mingjun all have such virtues.
Yun Fenghuang sighed in regret again, why wasn't Chunjia a fool who couldn't tell the difference between rice and rice? Or a willful and foolish king
Maybe because the whole world is looking forward to the master of ZTE, she alone secretly prays for the reincarnation of Jie and Zhou, so she is not strong enough. Anyway, so far, Yun Fenghuang realizes that it is unlikely to replace Empress Ji, so she suppresses her regrets and considers her words: "This matter , His Majesty said earlier that he has a close relationship with the Cui family. Of course, the queen should not be innocent. But now is not the time to depose the queen. If it is targeted at the Cui family, it will inevitably distract the previous lords... Otherwise , just start with the queen?"
Chunjia said: "Are you talking about Ji Muzi?"
"She is currently praying for the two empress dowagers, and she is the biological mother of the second prince and the third prince, but she is still dead." Yun Fenghuang said, "Isn't there still Xue Jieyu in the palace? She just entered the palace last year, and she has not yet died. I have only served His Majesty a few times, so I don’t know if His Majesty is willing to bear it or not?”
The Xue family, where Xue Xiaoge was born, is the in-law family of Marquis Minyang. It is one of the oldest families among the many in-laws of the Ji family. With the support of the Ji family, its own power is also a leader in the Ji party.
If it can be eradicated, not only will Yu Ji's vitality be severely damaged, but it will also frighten all the members of Ji Dang!
... This doesn't mean I'm sorry for Chao Jingyou's exposure.
