Vol 5 Chapter 121: Candidate

After a while, Gu Jue came and had a different view on Webster’s refusal to marry the Seven Princes: "Why does my aunt think that Webster’s rejection of the Seven Princes is because of the integrity of scholars and refuses to cling to the royal family? Why did Wei Changkong abandon the regent and choose His Majesty? Why does Wei Xiyan travel a long distance from the middle of Shu? Then, why does Wei Xiyan specialize in running a big talented woman? Even if she really learns well, it's a bad thing to say , Just write and draw at home, don't go out to make public, who knows if she is both talented and beautiful or unsightly?"
"There are so many noble women in the Imperial Capital, who can make a name for themselves, who doesn't have the protection and support of the elders behind them?"
"Wei Xiyan's family background is not as good as Cui Nanye and Wei Shuhan, but she is still among the top three talented women. It can be seen that Webster has really spent time to make it famous!"
"Now that there is a chance to marry the royal family or become a concubine, how could Webster rebate for the sake of being upright?"
"Not to mention that it was Concubine Min who proposed the marriage?"
She slowly said, "Nephew is your immediate younger generation. In terms of status, even if Wei Xiyan is known as the three great talents of the emperor, to be honest, she is not as good as her niece."
This is a fact. After all, the so-called three talented women of the Imperial Capital, or many people know about it, there are many people who follow.
However, those with a slight identity are probably well aware of this kind of talented woman.
But it's better than Gu Jue, who is really a noble girl with a family background.
In the end, the talent of a girl’s family cannot be directly converted into a position and power, but being a respectable lady means a great help, which is not comparable to a few fancy names.
"When the imperial concubine kept saying that King Qin admired his niece, why didn't we refuse it all at once? Zhenger Bajing found a reason to decline."
"Then how can Webster compare with his aunt?"
"How can their lofty arrogance resist the concubine's seizure?"
Gu Jue said lightly, "Furthermore, the Seventh Prince is not only the noble concubine and beloved son, he is also quite pleased with his majesty."
"If His Highness the Seventh Prince intends to marry a noble lady and is turned down, your Majesty may not say anything."
"But Webster's family is actually not enough for His Highness the Seventh Prince. He has now been rejected. If your Majesty knows and doesn't say anything, how can he be happy in his heart?"
Chunjia's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are completely fatal to a family like Webster.
High-ranking sects like the Yin family, Luo Shi Gu family, have deep roots. Even if the emperor is not happy for a while, relying on many in-laws, or the cards accumulated over the years, they can still hold on.
As for Webster's, I am afraid that in a blink of an eye, many people who try to please the emperor will be impeached and targeted... They can't resist such hostility at all.
Compared with this risk, a cultivated concubine is completely insignificant.
"Then what do you think is this?" Gu Zhen asked patiently, frowning when he heard this.
"80% is that they have a better choice." Gu Jue said calmly, "This is where there is no fear, and there is no room for rejection of the Seventh Prince."
These words made Gu Zhen frowned: "In addition to this palace, who else has the ability to confuse Webster to this? Is it possible..."
She suspiciously said, "Shu Fei? She is from a scholarly family, and speaking of it, Cui Wan and Wei Changkong are still the same year. But...when Wei Changkong was in office, Cui Wan took advantage of the situation to rise, even if the two sides could not talk about hatred, they still did. She has never been affectionate. Where did Concubine Shu get such a big face, asking Wei to offend the concubine for the second prince in front of her? No, Concubine Shu herself didn't have the courage to fight with the concubine. She looked up to a few humble and docile concubines in the morning. Girl?"
"Why did my aunt only speculate in the palace?" Gu Jue pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "In this palace, including the queen dowager, the two empress dowagers, and nieces, to tell the truth, who wouldn't be afraid of the imperial concubine? Well? Webster is not stupid. If these people say, how dare they take risks? But only one speaks, they will never fear the noble concubine's favor...that is your majesty."
"...How is this possible?!" The queen opened her mouth, feeling a little at a loss for a moment, "He...Although he often does the homework of the princes himself, he has never worried about the life-long affairs of any emperor heir! Even Zhaoqing!"
The emperor loved Princess Zhaoqing the most, but she only vetoed a few candidates proposed by the imperial concubine in private, and did not intend to call the shots personally.
The princess is like this, let alone the prince?
Princess Xincheng has already set off, and the next center of gravity of the temple is undoubtedly the dispute over the foundation of the country.
At this time, the emperor's every move will be magnified, carefully try to figure it out.
As a mature emperor, how could Chunjia rashly give a marriage to a certain prince?
Not to mention Wei Xiyan's background, is he qualified to let Chunjia worry about it himself?
Gu Jue calmly said: "But you said, besides your majesty, who else can make Webster not fear the imperial concubine?"
He added, "I'm afraid that the imperial concubine did not expect this, otherwise the imperial concubine's city house would not mention it to Webster at all... As for your majesty, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, but the niece dare not say anything."
She didn't need to say more, just this speculation was enough for the queen's master and servants to feel restless.
Gu Zhen sent the niece away as quickly as possible, and then he discussed with his confidants who had such a big face and asked Chunjia to worry about the marriage himself?
"Could it be a young talent? Not necessarily the prince." A palace person reminded the queen, "Deng Chengzhai's marriage is not an imperial gift? Wei Xiyan's status is not considered noble, and his majesty may not be indicating that Webster will betroth him to the prince. Is it a certain young talent whom his Majesty will value?"
"Wechsler carefully cultivated such a girl, and tried every means to make her famous." Some people objected to this view, "How can you be willing to give it to ordinary people?"
auzw.com The former palace man said: "Your Majesty has spoken, if you are Webster, would you dare to defy?"
This is also true.
The empress breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't for a prince who got into the emperor's eyes, it didn't matter who Chunjia gave the marriage.
Including the ten princes, the queen did not want the emperor to personally worry about the prince's life-long affairs.
Because this meant that the prince did not need the support of the Gu clan, he was already in the emperor's heart... This was obviously not a good thing for the Gu clan.
It’s just the palace’s speculation, after all, it’s just a speculation. To prevent accidents, the queen thought about it, and ordered the palace people to rush to tell her and Gu as the tenth prince, in case the emperor acted as a matchmaker for the ten princes. , Good for wrangling.
She has been in this palace for so many years, but not to make wedding dresses for Ping's mother and son.
Of course the ten princes can ascend to the throne, which is also her expectation, but this cannot be achieved by the emperor or the ten princes themselves.
It must be Gu's assistance.
At the time when the master and servants of the central palace were discussing intensively, Yun Fenghuang and Xie Wuzheng, who had entered the palace for peace, received the excitement of a long-lost reunion, and entered the topic: "...Yesterday, the minister gave Cui Wan some local products, and inquired about it by the way. After some dynasty winds, it was discovered that most of the courtiers were still towards the sons. Moreover, the ten princes are rumored to be very intelligent, and the temperament is stronger, but young people, the ministers think it is harmless. All in all, there are direct sons, It’s the opinion of most people."
"But there are also people who are trying to figure out what they want, trying to follow your Majesty's plan."
"Yin Qu's meaning is to try to create the appearance of your Majesty's partiality to Xuanqing Palace, so that these people will support you with all their heart."
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly: "Why don't you know this truth? It's just that your Majesty has always been shrewd. If it's one or two things, he will definitely notice it. When that happens, he won't know what he will think? "
"After all, it is the Xie family that dragged the empress." Xie Wuzheng sighed, "but don't worry, empress, your majesty also prefers you. Otherwise, over the years, the Gu family has been attacking in all manners, why is the empress still in a stable position? "
This is actually the opposite. Over the years, it should have been Yun Fenghuang who attacked the queen in every possible way.
The main plan of Yun Fenghuang is to drive Gu Zhen into a blatant gaffe or even to lose his courtesy. Whether it's seeing and discarding Yu Chunjia, or impeaching the queen as an unsuitable queen in the future, it is excellent.
It's just that even though Gu Zhen is dull, the Gu family is not stupid. Seeing the heavens persuade him to coax, but he also supports it.
These emperors all knew it well, but pretended not to know it because of the favor of the concubine.
At this moment Xie Wuzheng talked about this, and Yun Fenghuang couldn't help sighing, and said, "How important is the righteous status of the middle palace? Where is this palace unclear? Even the Gu family knows it in his heart."
Back then, Gu Zhen’s successor was due to various coincidences. It can be said that if it weren’t for that time, all aspects would have contributed to her back position, the concubines of the Sannomiya and the Sixth Court, and there were lines outside waiting to come in. The newcomer, how can she be part of a concubine who has fallen out of favor in the palace for many years?
If this successor made a mistake and lost his position, although the tenth prince and the twelfth prince are the princes who are credited to the jade plate, and cannot abandon the identity of the princes because of the mother, there are still many things to make a fuss about.
Especially these two princes have not grown up a few years ago...
The imperial concubine made up her mind, not thinking about the plans that had been fruitless, and said slowly: "Fine, don't mention these words. Let's talk about the next plan. The queen is obviously interested in cultivating the ten princes. Here in this palace, King Qin was unbearable. Xiao Qi had already told the Yin father and daughter that he would not be allowed to end. Now it is only Xiao Jiu and King Jin that can be pushed out. These two children, to be honest, Jin Wang Nian's Commission for Discipline Inspection is too young, and he has nothing to do with it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade the officials to nod."
"For now, it's Xiao Jiu."
"But His Majesty the Nine Princes is not the birthplace of the empress." Xie Wuzheng frowned and couldn't help but said, "Although he knows that the empress has a kind heart, he treats him as if he has come out. But to be honest, if the empress doesn't have a biological Jin Wang Your Highness, it’s fine to go all out to support His Highness the Nine Princes. Since there is, the Empress is no different to His Highness the Nine Princes and His Royal Highness Jin King, and even better to His Royal Highness Jin... In the meantime, it can’t be long. Other than that, when His Royal Highness Jin grows up a little bit in the future, how can His Highness the Ninth Princes not worry, you love King Jin even more?"
Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "This truth is also clear in this palace. But you have also said that nowadays the officials still want to establish a protagonist. Not only is the king of Jin a concubine, if the age ranks behind the tenth princes, how should he be the same as the tenth princes? The prince fight? Xiao Jiu is still that Xiao Shi's elder brother anyway."
"Why don't the empress ask King Qin to fight for that seat?" Xie Wuzheng persuaded, "Whether Qin is the eldest son of the emperor, even if his Royal Highness can be equal, isn't there a empress?"
"Brother Twenty-One just came back, is Xu still not sure?" Yun Fenghuang said, "During the summer, for various reasons, your Majesty hinted that the palace and the queen would not be allowed to point the emperor to deal with... although It's impossible to not teach at all, but it can't be too traced. King Qin's qualifications are mediocre, this, your Majesty has seen this child grow up over the years, and he knows it early in the morning."
"If this palace has been holding on to the side, maybe it's still a little bit possible."
"Now in order to obey your Majesty's instructions, I dare not say much."
"On his own, how could he be able to beat that Xiaoshi?"
Xie Wuzheng has been away for many years, and he doesn't know the nature of the princes.
After all, the matter is so big that Yun Fenghuang can't spread it rashly. Otherwise, the Queen will know what to do with targeted calculations?
Hearing what the imperial concubine said at the moment, I couldn't help feeling stunned: "The King Qin is several years older than the ten princes, but is he still not able to beat the ten princes? This...this is also...
"Qualifications are all innate." Yun Fenghuang also regretted, "There is no way...not to talk about this, anyway, I think it is better for Xiao Jiu."
"The imperial concubine he picked himself is also very satisfied with this palace."
"The problem now is to get the position of the East Palace first, as for the rest... I'll talk about it later."
After all, once the position of the East Palace falls into the hands of the queen, the life of Xuanqing Palace will be hard to save, so what else do you think?
