Because of the discussion the emperor had with the regent in the temple, the frail and sick young son of the regent was brought up again, and most people lamented the regent's misery.
There are only two sons in total. Although the eldest son is healthy and old, he has no reputation for being capable and has never done anything outstanding. It can be seen that his qualifications are mostly mediocre and there is nothing to hope for; the youngest son has been raised behind him. Almost no one has seen Zhai, and it is impossible to say that they know him well, but after all, he studied under Wei Liushou. As the saying goes, a famous teacher makes a good disciple, and the future is promising.
The result turned out to be a sick young man who couldn't even leave the house. He had to negotiate repeatedly even when he was taken by the emperor's cousin to sacrifice to the emperor... In this situation, even if he is a wise man, he might not be able to raise him well
Mrs. Ji was originally wondering if Chunjia had any plans to finally end the matter of sacrificing Xiaozong that she had talked about before summer vacation. After hearing this rumor, she was happy to see it come to fruition, and even specifically added fuel to the flames, making it The fact that the regent had no successor was very popular, and almost everyone in the imperial capital knew about it.
Of course the regent was very angry when he found out. After all, he was already at this age. It would be fine if he could just assist Chunjia. If he still wanted to seek the throne, heirs would be very important.
Nowadays, both sons are not favored by the outside world. Even if they were loyal before, they think that the master is already at the end of his prime and will start to age in a few years.
Of the two young masters, one is older but mediocre and does not have a good reputation; the other may be outstanding but may not be outstanding but may not live long... How can they be willing to work hard and die
At this time, Mr. Ji arranged for someone to tell the people around him that Chunjia must have done it on purpose.
He felt that his position was now more stable and he didn't need the regent so much, so he thought about controlling this uncle in turn. Chunjia's biggest advantage over the regent was that he was young and powerful, so even if his princes were young, , if you can't tell the wise and foolish, the people below will not be disappointed.
Anyway, the emperor is young, and even if none of the current four princes are capable, there will definitely be more princes to take over in the future.
And if nothing unexpected happens, Chunjia has enough time to wait for them to grow up.
People who bet on him don't need to worry so much about the possibility of losing their whereabouts after he leaves.
With this reality in front of him, even if the regent noticed Ji's handiwork, he was still very angry and privately said many things that were dissatisfied with Chunjia.
"But it's just dissatisfaction." In the study room of Ji Mansion, Haixi Hou Shizi Ji Mingban sighed in disappointment and said, "Neither the Regent nor Chunjia are stupid people, otherwise they would not have forced our family to this point. . Even if they are on guard against each other and are scheming with each other, as long as our family does not collapse, the uncle and nephew will not really be at odds with each other."
"Then force them to quarrel." His concubine's brother calmly responded, "Isn't that little beast of the regent's family weak in health and rarely going out? Didn't he go to the Ancestral Temple only after Chunjia repeatedly asked? What if he If the regent is dead, how can the regent and his concubine not let it go? And this also proves that the children of the Gongxiang family are not protected by the previous emperors of the country. "
"It's time to ask the Empress Dowager to come forward to take charge of the overall situation and re-elect the true dragon!"
Ji Mingban frowned: "Chunjia is very suspicious of us now. If he goes to the Ancestral Temple, how can he not be a good guard? The regent's youngest son is like a sweetheart who never appears in front of others. We don't even know what he looks like so far. It’s clear. Chunjia has always been cunning. If there is a substitute waiting to catch us, wouldn’t this be a reason to send him to our door to give him a pre-emptive strike?”
If they had not guessed Chunjia like this before, after the Chao family bit back the Ji family in front of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, they originally thought that the young emperor's ability to rule personally was just because of his endurance first, and secondly because he had the help of the regent Prince Xiang. It may not be that powerful, but I have to start looking at Chunjia again.
After all, it was too bad that the Chao family had tricked the Ji family.
The Ji family has three nobles, and Marquis Minyang was immediately defeated, even with his wife, children and subordinates.
This family, which had been prominent for three dynasties, was certainly not a freeloader. No matter how annoyed he felt, he would not continue to look down on Chunjia's scheming government.
At this moment, Ji Mingban was very cautious, "Even Chunjia had been putting off doing this before, but now he agreed just after returning from the palace. Maybe he got the news and wanted to take advantage... Maybe during the process of offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, If we don't take action, he can find an assassin or something and frame us. Isn't the previous assassination of Chao family an example?"
"Then we can't just do nothing? Are we just going to watch this foolish king step our family into the mud little by little?!"
"He is the king, and we are ministers. If the king wants his ministers to die, they have to die. With such intrigues, we can still suppress someone as ambitious as Xiaozong. But Chunjia's fifteenth practice Zuo can tolerate it for eight years, which shows that "Character." Ji Mingban said slowly, "To be honest, we can't suppress this emperor now, unless we start an army to rebel. But although our family still has momentum in the government and the public, it may not be to the extent that we can change the government. .”
The main Gongxiang family has never produced a famous faint king or tyrant since they won the country. At best, they are mediocre.
The public's goodwill towards them has not been completely lost. In addition, with the decline of imperial power in recent years, the giants are fighting fiercely in the temple. Under mutual checks and balances, although there are some places where they are miserable, such as the three states that are in rebellion, but Life is still getting along in most places.
In this case, if I want to kill the Gongxiang family and replace them, I am afraid that it will not be advantageous to the vassal kings in various places of the Gongxiang family.
Therefore, Ji Mingban thought that the plan for the present was: "If we don't do anything, Chunjia has already disliked our Ji family, and the regent and us have a hatred of the emperor's younger brother. When these two people meet in one day, I There is no possibility of peace for the Ji family. Since the dynasty cannot be changed, then change the day and establish a new king!"
"Assassinating the young son of the regent is both roundabout and easy to fall into Chunjia's trap."
"If the mountain collapses, one of the second and third princes will be chosen to take the throne. Even if the regent is still there, the overall situation will be decided!"
"Otherwise, if the fight continues like this, Chunjia has a righteous name and is also alert and cunning, so his position will only become more and more stable. Don't forget that he already has four children on his knees, and there are still concubines in the palace who are pregnant."
"Even if the two generations of the Gongxiang family have few heirs, when princes like him grow up... Let's talk about the temple, the world is so big, how can our family have a place?!"
"Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to go all out!"
"But Zheng Ju's old slave is towards Chunjia." Someone among his brothers frowned and reminded, "Chunjia is the son of the princess's wife Zheng Ju... How can Zheng Ju cooperate with us? He protects us wholeheartedly, plus the imperial city Si’s eyes and ears, if we could take action, would we still wait until today?”
For a moment, everyone in the study room looked at Ji Mingban.
... Miyagi City, Xuanqing Palace, Yun Fenghuang smiled as he watched Xie Lan and other sisters who had not left the pavilion get up and go to the back hall to "appreciate the flowers". He turned to look at Sister-in-law Ninth and Little Luo Shi, and the smile on his face instantly changed. He put it away and said, "The marriage between Sister Sixteen and Na Luo Xun was initiated by His Majesty. I cannot refuse, so I can only decide on it."
Little Luo Shi did not hesitate at all, nodded and said: "If there is no empress, how can the sixteenth sister marry the imperial guard? Or the imperial guard who allows His Majesty to personally talk to the matchmaker? This marriage is already a high priority in our family, please rest assured, the sixteenth sister I am also willing.”
"That's good." Yun Fenghuang muttered, "The Luo family has a simple population. Luo Xun's grandmother and mother hope that he will get married as soon as possible. Therefore, I plan to discuss with them to see if there will be a good time at the end of the year."
This is so fast... There are only a few months until the end of the year.
Xie had arranged for Xie Lan and the others to come over. Although she had planned for them to get married, she didn't expect the wedding to happen so soon.
I'm afraid that I can't even buy a decent dossier
Little Luo Shi was a little hesitant: "The family is currently busy with Lord Shang's affairs. After Her Royal Highness the Princess descends, it will be almost the end of the year. This..."
"You don't have to worry about the dowry. This palace will have someone arrange it for her. Anyway, the Luo family has fallen into decline, so there is no need to choose those rare ones. It will be fair to give Sister Sixteen more money for the wedding." Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said , "Let Luo Xun earn those rare things for Sister Sixteen himself after he has made great achievements."
Xiao Luoshi suspected that there was something inside, but Yun Fenghuang had no intention of telling her, so she didn't ask. After all, she was not Xiao Chen, she was Yun Fenghuang's direct sister-in-law. She was just a cousin, and she was separated from Yun Fenghuang before. They live in the same room and don't interact much with each other.
At this time, of course, I am more sensible towards my cousin who has a distinguished status.
Hearing this, Xie Lan quickly thanked her and said, "It's because we are incompetent and we are just dragging the queen down."
Yun Fenghuang casually said something to her, probably without the support of her family, she wouldn't be where she is today.
Then he said: "Although Sister Sixteen has always been in good health, after all, she has just traveled a thousand miles. These days, she has been busy with Brother Twenty-one's affairs. Next, she has to leave the cabinet by herself, so don't be tired. That's it. , I will ask the imperial doctor to get a safe pulse for Sister Sixteen and you all tomorrow. It’s best if nothing happens. If there is something, it’s better to nurse it back to health as soon as possible than to drag it out.”
He lowered his voice and said, "Everything else in Luo Xun's family is good, but there are not many heirs. Although our family has a prosperous heir, who can say for sure? Don't you think the mother-in-law of the empress dowager, a loving mother, also has many heirs?"
But when Empress Dowager Yuan married Prince Fuyang Duan, she never even had a miscarriage and never got pregnant.
Little Luo Shi couldn't object to this matter either emotionally or rationally, and thanked Xie Lan again, saying that Mr. Xie didn't know what kind of blessing it was to have a daughter like you, and that Sister Sixteen was also lucky to have a sister like you.
Yun Fenghuang listened calmly to her various ways of praising him, and only after that she asked about their current situation.
Xie's life has been busy and fulfilling during this time. The busyness is mainly because of the affairs of Lord Xie Wuzheng. The fulfillment is of course because the hope of their family's rise is right in front of them, and they are full of energy in everything they do.
Even a few of the younger disciples were a little distracted. Fortunately, Xie Heng and the others were still sober. They noticed something was wrong in time and woke them up, so it didn't lead to a big mistake.
Little Luo Shi told Yun Fenghuang this secretly, and repeatedly emphasized that those children are a bit arrogant in their words and actions at home, but they have always been very well-behaved outside: "Now my husband and uncles are also watching them. Keep an eye on me closely... and after a lesson, I also know the appropriateness, and now my entry and exit are very appropriate."
These were all expected troubles. Yun Fenghuang listened patiently and asked for some details. After deducing that she was not lying, he gently exposed the situation and asked again about the situation in the North, especially the situation in the North. It's Jiang.
"... The fourth aunt heard that she had some minor illness a few days ago, and I think she should be fine now." Mentioning the Jiang family and Xiao Luo family was even more embarrassing, because the Jiang family's claim of illness was purely because of the anger of the clan. It's hard to tell whether you're really sick or fake, but it's not easy to say it in front of someone's biological daughter. "There's news from home that my fourth aunt should be free to visit you at the end of the year."
