Vol 5 Chapter 84: Informed

Chi E said: "The palace man worked in a remote place and didn't serve any serious masters, so I don't know much. Only when Xiaozong was the crown prince, although the Queen Mother and the Ji clan had a close relationship, they didn't like it. The concubine Ji Sheng came into contact with Xiaozong. Later, when Xiaozong reached his age, the royal family chose his concubine. At that time, Ji's family had the power to be in power because of the trust of the first emperor of Shenzong. Disadvantage, it may also be because of the fear of Emperor Shenzong’s suspicion. In short, he originally planned to select the prince from other famous families. It’s just that the Emperor Shenzong trusts Ji's clan so much. In addition, the commoner Ji Sheng himself and Xiaozong’s childhood sweetheart, love each other... In short In the end, Ji Sheng became the princess."
"But after Ji Sheng became the princess, the empress dowager was not bad to Ji Sheng."
"Later Shenzong died, Xiaozong ascended the throne, and fought with the Ji clan. He once went to Qingci Palace and asked the Empress Dowager for help, but the Empress Dowager never agreed. She only said that she was old and didn't want to worry about everything. After Xiaozong was disappointed and left, it was rumored that the concubine Ji Sheng had visited the empress dowager for Xiaozong. The aunts and nephews said something but did not know, but the concubine Ji Sheng did not go to please the empress dowager for several years..."
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Why is this Ji's mess?"
Chi E said, "The maidservant also finds it strange. Before Xiaozong chose her concubine, the empress dowager disagrees with Ji's daughter as the regular wife. Maybe it may not be a sincere idea. Some gestures of avoiding suspicion. But when the Shenzong is gone, why don't you face Xiaozong?"
"Does any of them know what the Empress Dowager has given to Shanyuan to watch?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said, "The Empress Dowager Xiaozong has such a bit of blood, even if some people in this world don't care for their children. But for the sake of her own interests, the Empress Dowager also definitely has no reason not to help Xiaozong. The palace wondered if the Empress Dowager did not help the first emperor Xiaozong, not because she did not want to help, but was held by Ji's. Dare to help?"
Dan E doubted: "But not to mention the generation of the Empress Dowager-standing there is not an ordinary handle that can be grasped. The key is that the Empress Dowager, as the daughter of the Ji family, is both honored and prosperous in quite places. It's all harmed, even if others threaten the Queen Mother, what can Ji do?"
This is the reason, it seems that the relationship between Yun Clan and Yun Fenghuang is not very good, but if they catch the handle of Yun Fenghuang, they may not dare to immediately expose it.
Even some things had to be hidden for Yun Fenghuang.
For example, a nasty saying: If Yun Fenghuang’s illegitimate foreigner is found out by Yun, no matter how angry and disgusted they are, if they can deal with the aftermath, they still have to help with the aftermath. Unless the brain gets water, they will follow. Chunjia reported.
The reason is very simple. After Xie Fenghu's Hongxing went out of the wall, Xie's fate is a clear example.
That's the case when the Xie's lintel is higher than the Wang's.
Besides, Yun Fenghuang's husband's family is heavenly family.
"Manny, is it possible that the threat to the empress dowager is straightforward, and the orphans and widows can't fight the Ji family?" Chi E put forward another view, "The maidservant has been in the palace and served for these years. To be honest, but I don’t think the Empress Dowager is too shrewd and powerful? I think that the first emperor of Shenzong inherited the throne, in addition to his own wise and martial arts, it is the Ji family. But this Ji family, mainly the people of Ye Guogong, may not be the credit of the Empress Dowager? After the first emperor of Shenzong left, Xiaozong was young, and the Queen Mother had no idea about her family. If she was warned by Ji clan in private, the situation of the mother and son became more and more difficult. Reject Xiaozong?"
After all, if the orphans and widows clearly couldn't fight Ji, at this time, they would have torn their faces with Ji, and it would be even worse for them.
The empress dowager refused to help her son, kept in touch with Ji's family, and could talk about love.
Yun Fenghuang groaned: "What my palace can't figure out is that since the first emperor of Shenzong is Mingjun... Whether it is Mingjun or not, the emperor of all ages, who doesn't have much suspicion? Maybe Ji clan coaxed Shenzong very well back then, but Shenzong The death is not abrupt. Before he died, did he not consider the possibility that the orphans and widows could not suppress the power officials? Even if he was afraid that Emperor Xiaozong was young and no one supported the instability of the emperor, how could he only entrust the Ji family?"
Looking at the death of the emperor in the previous dynasty, if the Crown Prince was young and worried that the Lord would be suspicious of the country, when he entrusted Minister Gu Ming, he would have to find at least three or five.
It's even impossible to find two.
After all, the two ministers of life, what if they unite to bully the new emperor?
Guarantee the three courtiers, the three courtiers have to have contradictions and conflicts to ensure that they can't stand together.
Don't say anything about loyalty, such as Ji's courtiers who dig his heart and lungs for the old master and show off his power to the new prince, there is not nothing in the history books.
Shenzong is not a naive and ignorant young emperor, would he not know that human hearts are changeable?
Anyway, Yun Fenghuang didn't believe that Shenzong would trust his wife and children in Ji's hands because he had a good relationship with Ji's family.
She was a female stream, she was not so stupid when she was fifteen, how could Shenzong be inferior to her? !
"...This?" The attendants listened and couldn't help looking at each other.
Yun Fenghuang said, "Have those old people heard relevant rumors?"
Chi E hurriedly went out and asked again. After a while, he came back and said, "Manny, they can't tell. At that time, they were not qualified to serve the serious masters in the palace... But an old man said that on the eve of the death of Shenzong, For a full few months, the Empress Dowager took the first emperor Xiaozong to serve, and the important ministers headed by the Ji family visited the palace the next day. The concubines were not allowed to approach, and even the regent only took five days to get outside the screen. Please peace. At that time Shenzong's spirit was very bad. Sometimes when the regent went to ask for peace, he drove Shenzong to fall asleep. That was impossible to speak, so he had to kowtow and leave."
"The regent has not actually seen the last of the Emperor Shenzong seriously... It is said that the regent was in grief when he was crying. It's just that he was not born to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager didn't pay much attention to it."
"On the contrary, Xiaozong feels very distressed to the brothers."
"That said, Shenzong may have lost the initiative when he was seriously ill." Yun Fenghuang thoughtfully, "so that he was swayed by Ji clan and couldn't make better arrangements for Emperor Xiaozong?"
This is not impossible.
After all, other than that, it is difficult to explain why Shenzong trusts Ji without reservation.
The question is, is it so easy to deal with the emperor who has become an emperor with an unfavorable prince, even when he is seriously ill?
Xiaozong was considered mediocre, and during the entire period he was a king, he did one thing: fight with Ji clan.
Also lost.
But on the eve of the death, even if the canonization of the Emperor Taidi failed, it also added a lot of obstacles to Ji: handing over the Imperial City Division to the Regent, leaving a half-step rumors of the Emperor Taidi, as well as a few kings such as Yi Guogong. send.

Shenzong is so famous in the history books, how can he be inferior to his own son?
"Niangniang, this should be possible." Chi E felt it made sense. "You think that after Shenzong ascended the throne, slaughtered countless kinsmen and nobles. When he was seriously ill, Emperor Xiaozong and the regent were still young, but the clan was young. No one is there. For example, the princess Dongxing has a small bloodline, and she is afraid that she is still trembling, but how dare to mix in the royal affairs? Although the Shenzong harem also has concubines, there are no high-class ladies other than the Queen Mother. The Ji clan and the Queen Dowager both inside and outside. Didn’t it mean that they held the front harem with one hand? Moreover, Shenzong had only two heirs, Xiaozong and the Regent. If Ji clan and the Queen Mother used these two heirs as threats, how angry Shenzong would be at that time, I’m afraid It won't help?"
After all, it was the trouble caused by Shenzong killing too many brothers and nephews.
Otherwise, as long as there are so few adult close relatives and Shenzong's middle-aged man is ill, Ji is afraid that he will be more anxious than Shenzong himself.
I was afraid that after Shenzong went, the young Xiaozong and King Regent could not stay in town and asked others to take advantage of them.
"..." Yun Fenghuang groaned, and found out depressed. Because of the age and the old people who were alive today were not high in status at the time, their knowledge was limited, but it was difficult to guess the truth.
She pondered for a while, but finally thought of a question, "By the way, have you asked them about Her Royal Highness Princess Minghui?"
Chi E was about to answer, but there was a sound of footsteps from the outside, and followed a little palace lady into the house to salute: "Niang, someone sent a message from outside."
Yun Fenghuang was considering matters related to the Empress Dowager, and upon hearing this, he said casually: "What news?"
"It was the death of Qian's mother and daughter before." The little palace lady said softly, "Miss Gu Jue, the niece of the suspected empress empress, offered a plan."
These words shocked the master and servants in the room!
Dan E even yelled immediately: "This is true? Don't be the ears and eyes of Woxialou deliberately alarmist? How old is Miss Jue? She has been raised by the queen for several years, never before. Gu Jing is eye-catching!"
When Gu Jue entered the palace, of course he immediately became the focus of Xuanqing Palace.
It's just that she was quickly covered up by Gu Jing.
Compared with Gu Jing, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, is impeccable everywhere and smiles welcoming people, Gu Jue who looks a little bit soy sauce after seeing the sky shrinks behind, it is difficult to continue to attract attention.
Especially since even the ten princes didn't care much about this cheap cousin, Xuanqing Palace naturally lowered and lowered her importance.
It was also after Gu Jing left, Gu Jue seemed to be a little impressive, and he paid more attention these days.
But she didn't expect that she could think of a way to make the noble concubine suffer a loss?
"I didn't dare to believe it at first. After all, the matter was big." The little palace lady said, "Therefore, I did a special check, and then I dared to report...It was said that the earliest news of Shanyuanguan's accident reached Woxialou. , Empress Empress intends to make a fuss about this, so as to cause us trouble. We are all discussing, then Gu Jue rushed over after hearing the news. She closed the door and didn’t know what she had said to the Queen. In short, the Queen had a face afterwards. It’s not pretty, but I didn’t mention Shanyuan View anymore. Then, the mother and daughter of the Qian family are gone...how do you think it's all the credit of Miss Jue?"
Chi E couldn't help but said, "Could it be Gu's intention to let her spread the word?"
"But in those two days, no one from the Gu family spoke to the palace." The little palace lady said, "and the waiter in Woxialou has changed a lot about Gu Jue these days. Although it is not obvious, it is obvious that the details have not been paid attention to. less."
Chi E and Dan E looked at each other, their faces were solemn, and they stopped talking.
They are both Yun Fenghuang's close attendants, and they are from Xie's family, and they know the style of these people best.
Gu Jue is to the queen just like Xie Kuo, Xie Meng, and Xie Wei are to Yun Fenghuang.
To say that Chi E and the others are certainly not bad for the Xie's girls, but they are not bad, with a condescending attitude.
One is age. Their close attendants, who have followed their masters for many years, often grew up watching their master’s younger generations. Even if there is a difference in status between master and slave, the advantages brought by age and seniority still allow them to subconsciously overlook; It is a position of power. Although they are slaves, to be honest, the weight of speaking in front of the master is often incomparable by many younger juniors, and even older juniors who are not good enough.
It was Yun Fenghuang who was so thoughtful by nature, who annoyed the Jiang family when he was a child, and it was also the Qing people who helped persuade him to exempt him from punishment.
If the attendants don't help, Jiang's anger will have to smoke her.
Back then, they entered the palace to wait for Yun Fenghuang under the arrangement of the Jiang family. At first they looked at this empress with the mood of watching a child. Later, they looked at Yun Fenghuang's ease, and Yun Fenghuang's own temperament and beating. It was only then that I gradually recognized the little master again, and from the bottom of my heart, regarded the little master as the "master".
Therefore, the attendant in front of the queen may not be bad to her because of Gu Jue's status.
But he would not care about this Miss Jue rashly.
After all, their real master is Queen Gu Zhen.
As far as Gu Jue's current status and age are, it is not worthy of them to look at him differently.
Even Gu Jue needed their help to talk and persuade the queen.
They have shown that they attach great importance to Gu Jue...
Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, and then said: "Go and find out, what did Gu Jue do when he went back to Gu Mansion a few days ago? And the number of times and time she met with the queen before and now."
