Vol 4 Chapter 449: Self-fouling

Chunjia didn't know that the high hope officials were slandering his belly in private, and he didn't pay attention to the controversy at the birthday banquet of the loving mother empress dowager.
One is that now that the blood relationship between Du Langu and Yi Xingen has been determined, combined with the time when the two left the table and the guards broke down at the time, they were neatly dressed even though they were pulled and dressed. There is no green hat; the second is that although Yi Xingen is beautiful, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is a rare plaything. It has no feelings and is not as valuable as Du Langu. After confirming that Du Langu has not betrayed him, he is relieved. ; The third is that the imperial concubine was evoked by the sorrow of the death of his family, which occupied most of his mind, and he was even more indifferent to pursue it.
So after ordering the matter to be suppressed, and after that, Chunjia, besides comforting the imperial concubine, is continuing to administer government affairs.
Although there hasn't been any major state affairs recently, it is just the end of the crusade against Wei He, and it is enough for the emperor and the important ministers to worry about.
After all, the birthday of the empress dowager has passed, and she will pack her things and go back to the Imperial Capital soon.
When the time comes, it will be a reward for doing meritorious service that many soldiers love to hear.
However, the real rewards cannot be discussed at the time, but they have already been torn apart at this moment. They must be basically finalized, so that after Jingning Hou led his army into the city and boasted about his military merits, the rewards would be issued logically to show that Jun En.
Originally, there are old rules for copying this kind of thing. The key point is that it is not a day or two for the state to fight Wei He. As early as when the emperor had just taken office, he sent troops once under the banner of helping Wei Heping in rebellion.
At that time, Uncle Zhao Wu personally led the team.
At that time, many people's children were scrambling to join the army to make a profit, but they were very disgraced, and many died, with no bones left.
Although these people have ulterior motives and have no achievements, after all, they are probably born of high family and noble, young people who die in foreign countries, as the imperial court, they have to be somewhat decent.
In addition, Uncle Zhao Wu was stationed for many years. In this battle between Jingning Houping and Wei He, he personally took control of Yanzhou and dispatched the equipment. The credit was not small. However, the Gu family had another person who instigated part of the Dingbei army against the water. Son...
At the same time, some people think that Jing Ninghou is just picking peaches this time.
After all, without the Northern Army, it would be impossible to defeat Wei He by himself, and the Northern Army was trained by Uncle Zhao Wu.
And, if not surprising, in the next ten to twenty years, I am afraid that there will be no decent opportunity to gain military merit.
So if the two generals, Uncle Zhao Wu and Jing Ninghou, do too much credit, will they be the masters?
…In short, we need to consider all aspects, even if the Chunjia City Mansion is deep, Yin Qu, Yi Guo Gong and other important ministers also have two brushes, and they are a little overwhelmed for a while, meeting from time to time, discussing and adjusting privately.
So Chunjia regretted making Ouyang Yanran retreat at this time. After all, this was a veteran from Xiaozong's time. There were some means to deal with such things.
But since he was going to change, he just thought about it, and didn't even ask Ouyang Yanran to come back.
The emperor and his ministers were busy, but at this time there was news that the sons of Jingninghou had invaded and occupied fertile land, and the number was horrible. Not only that, he was still setting up good families in the countryside. This caused popular complaints and no complaints in the local area. Behind the door, annoyed to Dali Temple!
The person who hindered the complaint from Dali Temple held up the paper, and slammed his head against the stone steps at the door in full view, for fear that the Imperial Secretary would inform the emperor in private, and did not dare to hide it, so he had to bite the bullet and hand the paper to Chunjia. .
When Chunjia saw it, his expression was not very good, but it was not that he was mad at Jingning Hou's godson, but: "Have I ever killed heroes so far? Is Ke Cong so worried about me!"
Knowing that the emperor was really angry, they were all panicked.
It's just such a topic, they dare not say anything.
The geese were still courageous and said cautiously: "Looking at this file, it has not been a day or two for the sons of Jingning Hou's son to run wild in the countryside. Xu has always been like this. It's just that Jingning Hou is very popular these days and just happens to hit him. Up."
"Is it really hit?" The emperor sneered. "I thought it was specially pinched and handed it up for me to see."
Then he asked, "Does the shop know about this now?"
When Yan Yin said in a low voice, he knew, "Now that the emperor and capital have a lot of discussion, they all feel that Jingning Hou Bacheng will be dragged down by his son."
In fact, not only the many Li Shu in the emperor capital think so, there are many similar opinions in the palace.
When De Fei asked Yun Fenghuang for peace, she said smoothly: "This Jingninghou is really ill-fated. Although there are several sons under his knees, he was beheaded by him in the army before. Now this one, I heard that although he was not a concubine, he was also born of a concubine, as if his biological mother was a cousin with Jing Ninghou. However, this kind of controversy was caused by this bone, and I don’t know what it will drag Jing Ninghou into. kind?"
Yun Fenghuang smiled faintly as he listened and said, "Where is that simple? You Dao Jingninghou is really old and useless, and his son can't control it? Ten percent of this matter was made by himself! This The concubine from the concubine is just being thrown out as a scapegoat."
"Sister?" De Fei was startled.
Seeing Yun Fenghuang taking a sip of tea, he slowly explained: "Jingning Hou even said that he would kill his second son. How can such an old man not be able to suppress his son? From the perspective of this palace, this time It was nothing more than that Jingning Hou was stationed in southern Xinjiang for many years, and his prestige in the Dingnan Army was extremely high. This time because of his meritorious service in the crusade against Wei He, Yu Dingbei also had considerable prestige... and even his fame had already overwhelmed Uncle Zhao Wu. , Can be said to be the country’s leading military commander at present!"
"Their Ke family is not like the Empress's natal Zhaowu Bo Mansion, they are not famous for successors!"
auzw.com "Although this family is very low-key, and never shows that there are any unicorns in the family, but whether there are outstanding children, how can you hide it from your majesty?"
"Now I'm discussing merits and rewards. Isn't Jingning Hou worrying about the high merits?"
"He is caring, and he didn't wait for your Majesty to be embarrassed here, and took the lead in arranging such a smug!"
"This is good. The emperor will redeem the merits for him, so he can rest assured."
De Fei was a little dazed when she heard her, her lips opened slightly, and she asked depressed for a moment: "How does my elder sister know so much?"
Before the imperial concubine could answer, he sighed and felt that he should not ask...Sure enough, Yun Fenghuang disapproved: "Think about this kind of thing. Jingninghou is the master who kills even his second son. If a man really indulges his family in Yurou Township, unless the emperor personally makes an order to get to the bottom of the question, otherwise a few flat-headed people still want to go to Beijing to make a noise at the gate of Dali Temple? I'm afraid they will die on the road soon and feed the jackals, tigers and leopards! What a coincidence... What else could be going on besides Jingninghou’s self-directed and self-acted performance?"
Not to mention the kind of family of Jingninghou, their Xie family can control one side and don't give the suffering master any opportunity to appeal.
Concubine De was particularly uncomfortable: Hearing what you said is indeed easy to guess, but before you spoke, I didn't expect it at all!
She really feels that Jingning's life is not good, and she has been showing up with unfilial sons one after another.
Settling her mind, she suddenly remembered: "Then, the matter of the nephew of the queen's empress, is it that the Gu family deliberately arranged it?!"
"That's not necessarily." Yun Fenghuang shook his head. "As the palace said, the main reason why the Ke family has to worry about the master is that their family is not the Gu family, and the Gu family has no famous successors... But why should the children make mistakes again?"
Moreover, "If the Ke family has such a self-sufficient reputation, it is nothing more than trying to prove to your majesty that they are not loyal. Therefore, they can be in the village of fish and meat, they can occupy fertile land, they can be greedy for money and lust... But the palace has not heard of deliberate rebellion. ."
After all, the purpose of doing this is to show the emperor, you see that I am a spicy chicken, my reputation is so bad, I just want to rebel and no one will follow me...
What do you mean by directly arranging for the children of the next generation to rebel?
Do you want to tell the emperor that you saw it? My children really rebelled, and then they really didn't succeed! ?
I'm not afraid that the emperor thinks that all the useless children of this family are thinking about rebellion, let alone other people, and then let the whole family cool?
Yun Fenghuang concluded, "This palace thinks that the child of the Gu family is purely stupid."
De Fei nodded repeatedly, feeling more comfortable in her heart.
That's right, that's definitely an idiot!
In contrast, I think he is much smarter than him...
Although she didn't expect Jingninghou to have a reputation for self-defeating, she would not think that Gu's children did it to preserve the family...
"My sister, what do you think Gu will do this time?" De Fei smiled and asked curiously.
Yun Fenghuang thought about it, and said: "Uncle Zhao Wu has been here for many years. In the end, there is credit for it. It is impossible to deny it completely because of an unscrupulous offspring under his knees. It would be chilling. This palace thought, Your Majesty should have done so. Give me a generous gift."
In fact, the main reason for the emperor’s doing this is probably not because Zhaowu Shrike worked hard, but because there are no successors in the Gu family...
For families that are not threatening to imperial power, the emperor certainly doesn't mind taking a good look.
If the Gu family were the kind of big family with talents emerging in endlessly, then... they should almost be cold right now.
"... But after all, I teach Sun Wufang, I can't just let it go." After hearing this, Defei showed a little disappointed look. She is the noble concubine's team, of course, I wish the queen would be bad.
I heard that the emperor would give generously to the queen’s father, how could he be happy?
At this moment, he said sourly, "That would be too good for a treacherous person like this!"
"It's a veteran after all." Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, Chunjia had given up on his plan to be a protagonist, and had some thoughts of making up for the Gu family, but in normal times, adding kindness would not make Gu family suspicious.
How can you not make yourself feel more comfortable at this moment?
I'm afraid that this time the award will continue. After two years, as long as the prince of the concubine shows more suitable qualifications than the prince, Chunjia will find an excuse to clean up the Gu family.
There was no jealousy in her heart, and she said very generously, "Your Majesty always has to show some face. I only hope that the Gu family will not forget your grace in the future. Don't let your Majesty be disappointed.
It's just that the good mood of the imperial concubine lasted half way back to the emperor's capital.
