When the aunt and concubine were conspiring in the Qingci Palace, Yun Fenghuang frowned and looked at Qingdu in front of him: "What do you think they said?"
The capital of the Qing Dynasty was very frightened and complained about the Xie family, but they had to say: "... The prince-in-law and others said that if the empress can convince your majesty to allow the brothers to have wives and daughters, why should they consider the Jiang family? After all, Jiang's family is Although my son was as close as my mother-in-law in the past, my surname is not Xie. If he becomes powerful, the first person to be promoted will definitely be the Jiang family, not me, the Xie family! If the Xie family is now in a high-ranking family, it is also appropriate to promote the in-laws .But Mrs. Xie has too much time to take care of herself now. Why should she give up such favor to outsiders?"
"Really?" Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "What else did they say?"
Qingdu lowered his head and said: "The Prince Consort said that Xie's foundation is weak now, and even if he wants to help the empress, there is nothing he can do. At this time, he has to distract his energy to support the Jiang family. I am afraid that when the empress needs it, There is no one of the Xie family and the Jiang family who is very useful. It is better... it is better... to support the Xie family first, and then wait until the Xie family is on par with the imperial family, and then support the Jiang family."
Yun Fenghuang asked: "Is that all?"
"...Actually, the prince-in-law was just elected to express his position. From what I saw from the young masters and young ladies, the first prince's wife had a prince-in-law, and the fourth prince's wife had a queen. Although the second, third, and fifth princes also benefited from the honors, they were far from each other. "Qingdu was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Now that we have such an opportunity, not only the third bedroom where the 22nd Young Master is located, which the empress asked the servant to specifically tell, but also the second and fifth bedrooms are about to be taken. But now they They all work together to squeeze out Young Master Jiang... If the Queen relents and agrees to support only the 22nd Young Master, I'm afraid the second and fifth bedrooms will continue to pick on the 22nd Young Master."
"Since Bai Ding succeeded in becoming a squire, his family will be free from disasters and diseases. As long as he works hard, he will have great hope. But between a family with a hundred thousand yuan and an aristocratic family, what is the natural chasm? Even if the wealth is greater than that, When it comes to the younger generation, they are far apart. That's the problem." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "It's only been two years, but for an undecided candidate for the county horse, my family has to fight first. Get up. In such a situation, what do you think I can expect from them?"
Qingdu didn't dare to speak.
Next to him, Chen Jing advised in a low voice: "The Prince Consort may be eager to share your worries, but they are not necessarily just trying to fight for power and gain."
Yun Fenghuang glanced at him and asked, "Do you believe this?"
Chen Jing smiled apologetically and said, "I'm afraid that your Majesty will be sad."
"Of course I am sad." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "What was the situation like when I first entered the palace? One mistake could have cost me my life! Where are the consorts now? They are protected by Ouyang Yanran. There are high-ranking families such as the Wei family, the Yun family, and the Luo family. Even if they have their own thoughts, they can still be considered as wings. If something goes wrong, after all, I will still be there to calm down in front of His Majesty! Even a big family like the Luo family and the Ouyang family are not Every disciple is treated like this. But he is still greedy and allows his tribe to intimidate me... You are saying that I have worked hard, planned for them, and thought about them. Is it possible that it is all for myself?!"
Although she is indeed doing it for herself, Yun Fenghuang will not admit it. Moreover, "It is them who are the Lord, they are the ones who enjoy the rapid rise to the top, and they are the ones who have jumped from a country squire to a high-ranking guest in the Imperial Palace! In this palace When I came here, I kept saying that I was very grateful to me, but privately, I felt that my treatment of them was not good enough and I didn’t treat them with enough heart and soul, right?"
The imperial concubine's tone was not intense, but everyone on the left and right remained silent.
"That's all, people's hearts are always insufficient." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a moment, exhaled slowly, and said softly, "It's not wrong to be ambitious, but without the corresponding ability. This is a mismatch of virtue, and there will be disaster! "
Qingdu trembled subconsciously, and then heard her continue, "Don't pay attention to these people. In a few days, the woman will be ordered to come to the palace for an audience. On that day, the people from Yiguo Duke's Palace will just come and pay them back. Others, No one is allowed in!"
"Your Majesty, this move will probably arouse a lot of discussion." Chen Jing couldn't help but remind him.
But Yun Fenghuang asked back: "When did I stop attracting people's attention?"
There was nothing more to say immediately.
That evening, Chunjia came to visit and noticed that she was a little unhappy, so he asked why.
Of course Yun Fenghuang would not tell him about the troubles of his mother's family. He just frowned and said, "Isn't it you? You left half of your last reply, which made me think about it for the past two days."
Chunjia was stunned and said with a smile: "What have you been thinking about these past two days? How can you be responsible to me?"
"Where do I have the ability to take responsibility for such a wise and wise emperor?" Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I was just wondering which of my brothers you have chosen."
"Your brother, don't you know better than me?" Chunjia was immediately disappointed when he heard this, and said without smiling, "I have to ask you about it."
Yun Fenghuang said: "When did that happen when I was at home? Besides, the brothers who were about the same age as Kunze were still young at that time, and it was difficult to see how wise and foolish they were. Now there is a huge gap between the inside and outside of the palace. , but how do you know what they are good at? But you must feel sorry for Kunze. Since you are willing to promise her to my brother, you must have a favorite candidate? "
Chunjia smiled and said nothing.
Yun Fenghuang stared at him for a moment, then leaned over and kissed his cheek.
Seeing the emperor raise his arm, he hurriedly and considerately stepped forward to squeeze his shoulders and arms. After serving him for a while, Chunjia was satisfied and said: "Kunze is young, and the late king only has such a biological daughter. I also I don’t want her to have too much trouble in the future. Look at the brothers who are gentle, considerate and considerate, choose the ones with good looks, and try to bring them to me to see."
… It’s no wonder that they would consider Xie’s son or Jiang’s son.
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that it seemed that the emperor was either not familiar with Kunze's betrayal of Queen Mother Qu, or he was worried about being used by the Queen Mother. In short, he gave Kunze the same standard for finding a county horse as he did for the three eldest princesses. The standards for finding a consort are different.
In the past, the purpose of choosing the consorts for the three eldest princesses was to use the status of the consorts to support their trusted ministers who had no foundation.
But now, are you choosing a county horse for your blood sister? Chunjia's plan is to prevent Kunze from causing trouble after he leaves the cabinet.
Therefore, first of all, the lintel of the husband's family should not be too high, and secondly, the county horses should not be too young and talented.
Anyway, he is a good-looking and kind-hearted person who is willing to coax his sister. The point is that he has no future and even if he obeys Kunze's words, nothing will happen.
There are a lot of conditions like this in the world, and no one is allowed. Chunjia simply considers the Xie family or the Jiang family. This not only makes the imperial concubine happy, but also indirectly allows Kunze to get some glory, so that no one will look after his descendants in the future. .
After all, Concubine Min's care for her blood relatives was known to everyone in the previous harem.
"Don't worry, I will definitely pick someone you like." Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief after figuring out what he was thinking. Previously, the emperor proposed that Kunze be betrothed to one of her cousins, and she I was overjoyed, but I was wary. I just suspected that this grace was not so easy to receive.
Even after Chunjia left that day, she was ready to have another fight with Queen Mother Yuan.
As a result, for some unknown reason, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces suddenly stopped making noise... Yun Fenghuang pondered for a moment and then asked, "By the way, what else do you want from me, Mrs. Yun?"
Chunjia said: "After all, I have to give an explanation to Queen Qu's mother."
The implication is that Queen Mother Qu still wants Yun's son as her son-in-law. If Yun Fenghuang wants his brother to be in power, he must stop Queen Mother Qu's thoughts.
Although Yun Fenghuang had a pretty good relationship with the Queen Mother in Jiashan Palace, she would certainly not be lenient when it came to personal interests.
After all, Empress Dowager Qu was similar. Otherwise, how could she know that Yun Fenghuang helped persuade Kunze to change her mind, yet she turned around and wanted to find Yun's son-in-law, whom Yun Fenghuang absolutely did not want to see
Yun Fenghuang sold her without any burden at all.
Immediately he said: "But I don't know who in the Yun family the Queen Mother Queen Mother is interested in?"
It was okay not to mention this, but when she mentioned this, Chunjia's face turned ugly for a moment, and then she said: "She thinks Yunxi Guest is good."
It's no wonder that Chun Jiahui encouraged his favorite concubine to cause trouble for the Queen Mother. This was the consort he had appointed Minghui, but Queen Mother Qu wanted to win love for Kunze. How could Chun Jia tolerate it? You must know that this is not a matter of love between sons and daughters, but is related to his layout of the Dingbei Army and Wei He.
"Why would the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother think of Yunxi Guest?" Yun Fenghuang felt a little strange when he heard this. Over the years, Queen Mother Qu has always been low-key and silent. She never did not talk about things, and she always dismissed them when she met them in private. It is the most unbearable thing to swallow with teeth.
Even if he had taken stock of the situation and started to fight with Empress Dowager Yuan, it would still be justified and he would never be messy.
How could he take the initiative to snatch the consort Chun Jia decided for Ming Hui
Chunjia laughed and said, "Maybe the queen mother doesn't know my plan."
Yun Fenghuang understood that Queen Mother Qu was probably tricked by Queen Mother Yuan, and she started fighting with Chun Jia without knowing it.
"The guest from Yunxi at the osmanthus appreciation banquet is indeed very outstanding." Yun Fenghuang wished that the two queen mothers would pinch each other as fiercely as possible, and said, "It's no wonder that the queen mother of the Holy Mother likes him. He is indeed a rare person. The seeds of bravery."
Chunjia said calmly: "That's all. I use him for the sake of his father and brother."
"It's very rare among young ministers." Yun Fenghuang said deliberately, "It's just that I'm far behind compared to you. It's a pity that I haven't gone hunting in the past two years, and I haven't witnessed A Ji's riding and shooting for a long time. "
"These are all trivial matters." Chunjia pretended to be modest, but slightly curved the corners of his mouth and said, "As for riding and shooting... what's so difficult about that? I'll..."
Before he finished speaking, someone from the palace walked quickly from outside and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the previous court. It's 800 miles away!"
The imperial concubine was shocked. Chunjia immediately stood up, hurriedly explained a few words to Yun Fenghuang, and left quickly.
After he left, Yun Fenghuang hurriedly called Chen Jing to go ahead and inquire about the news.
Not long after Chen Jing left, he came back in a hurry and reported to Yun Fenghuang, wiping cold sweat: "Mother, something bad happened! He Le used Mu E's plot to kill the old Khan and his eldest brother as an excuse to instigate Wei He and several big brothers. The tribes raided the royal court and burned the royal tent. Now the life and death of Mu'e Khan are not known, and the princes are scattered everywhere. Only some of the royal tent's personal guards escorted the Dalan family and their youngest son to flee to Yanzhou in a hurry. They reported to Uncle Zhaowu on the grounds of Mrs. Roukun. Please help!"
"Now Hele has established himself as khan, and people are hunting down Mu'e's wife and children all over the grassland. He has sent envoys to the Dingbei Army to ask Uncle Zhaowu to hand over the mother and son of the Dalan family!"
"The matter is so serious that Uncle Zhaowu does not dare to specialize in it, so he urgently reports to the court and asks for your Majesty's approval!"
