Vol 5 Chapter 153: Ji Qin

On the second day after Xie Wuzheng left the palace, he sent an eye-catching maidservant into the palace, saying that he was sending some local products brought by the underlings from the north to the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine and Sui An's cousin as direct cousins, it was commonplace, not to mention that after the collapse of the Xie clan, the relationship between siblings became even closer, so no one was suspicious, so they were brought to Huanhua Palace smoothly.
In the hall, Yun Fenghuang was holding a tea bowl, slowly looking at the people underneath.
The maidservant looked older and looked like she was in her thirties, but she still wore an unmarried hair style, and her appearance could only be said to be fair and fair, not beautiful.
The eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, and they look very honest.
After she entered, she respectfully saluted and handed the local products brought in as a cover to the imperial concubine. Then she said: "The maidservant Ji Qin, the son of the Ji family, has been ordered to serve the maid for ten years."
"Ten years?" Yun Fenghuang had the final say, "The palace was in the palace for thirteen years, and in the same year the consort went to the Imperial Capital to prepare for the exam. So, did you come to him later?"
"Yes." Ji Qin said frankly, "After all, the Empress was in full swing at the time. Although all the children of the Xie family were not as stunning as the Empress alone, the tide rose, and when they first entered the Imperial Capital, they were not seen from all sides. Now? At that time, it was not difficult for the Serbs to come to them, but it was difficult to hide from other people, especially the eyes and ears of your majesty and your mother. The master’s family has been in power for many years, how could such a mistake be made? Three years later, Chunjia In ten years, the empress has a stable position in the palace, and the marriage between the prince and the eldest princess has been settled. At this time, who cares if the prince and two waiters are added to him?"
"Even if someone thinks that the maidservant is exceptionally powerful, they will think of Niangniang instead of Ji's."
"After all, the empress only worked for the Empress for a short time. Later, she transferred to her Majesty, and she spared no effort to step on the Ji clan...Who would have thought that the most important group of Ji clan were all in the front and back of the horse?"
Yun Fenghuang nodded his head and said, "No one is a fuel-saving lamp among the distinguished family members! The hand that is black under the lamp is the negligence of this palace."
"Why should Niang Niang humiliate herself?" Ji Qin shook his head and said, "Although Niang Niang is a female stream and talented in the city, she is deeply admired by the master's family. Otherwise, the master's conscious building will be overwhelmed, and it will not be wrong. The empress was chosen as a channel for the host to seek justice from the royal family."
"If it weren’t for the empress who had been holding Sheng Chong firmly over the years, and had been so repressed that Gu’s and other dignitaries who were inextricably linked with the harem could not raise their heads, the maids would not have been able to hide so well in the first place. Even the Imperial City Division knows nothing!"
"Secondly, the maids act normally, and it is impossible for them to come quickly and smoothly under the banner of empress."
"The master's back then was a bad one, and he chose the current position as the heir of Xiaozong."
"So much so that there is an overturning disaster!"
"But at a critical juncture, after all, I still had a vicious look."
"The selected empress, you are a first-class master."
"Therefore, please don't be upset and angry with your mother. From your mother's age, what is the difference between the master's background and the number of years?"
"At the end of the day, this is the master's intentional calculation and carelessness, taking advantage of the turmoil before the fullness of the mother's wings. If the mother suffered too much in the family world at the time, she was anxious to promote her natal brothers, and because none of her natal brothers could be better than you One-tenth of the talent, the master’s calculations may not be successful."
"Niangniang's talents, niangniang's methods, and niangniang's abilities are all highly respected by the master."
She said gently, "It's that some of the people who have left the palace in the master's house over the past few years have tried to do anything to serve the empress... but the empress herself is simply and profitable, I am afraid that I have not noticed it?"
"..." Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, stared at her for a while, and then slowly said, "The palace has indeed been going very smoothly in the past two years, and even after this abolition, it has been calm. Does Tao come by himself? Are you co-authoring from it?"
"Niang Niang, Ji has three queens after all." Ji Qin said calmly, "Even after the Ji's overthrow, the former court and the harem have gone through a major cleansing, and more than once. But back then, Ji had been in charge of the court for many years. There are also people like Mr. Yi Guo who insist on being loyal to your Majesty... No matter how bad the Ji clan is, he can be in power for the three dynasties, naturally, he has an outstanding point. He has to teach some people, to be broken and to follow. Isn’t it? Of course, The maid said this, but he didn't want her to be in love with her. After all, with the help of her maid, even if the maid didn’t follow the boat and do what she wanted to do, sooner or later, he would succeed."
She said slowly, "After all, not everyone can be like a mother, and be so cruel that they can use their fertility, life, and even their own flesh and blood as a bargaining chip."
Yun Fenghuang heard this shocking sentence, but his expression remained unchanged, and he only slowly said: "Compared to intrigue, this palace is just a junior. The Ji family is indeed a famous family, as early as 13 years ago, he actually liked it. At that time, I didn’t know whether I could survive in the palace... but I was very curious: since you thought that your majesty would not let you go, what did you do or you were defeated step by step? Is it so useless for the top noble home of China?"
"Oh, I was wrong. You hit my cousin's idea ahead of time, but you seem to be sure that Ji will lose."
"But why?"
"Even if your Majesty was already in power at that time, the Ji family is still in the former harem, and has a considerable position of power, doesn't it?"
"At that time, even your Majesty did not dare to be sure that he would win..."
"Ji, how do you know that you are defeated?"
"Did your majesty hold any handle?"
"But how can the handle compare to the position of power? Even if the death of Xiaozong is written by the Ji clan, the Ji clan is not incapable of sophistry and denial... What is it? When the family was still in its prime, the Ji clan When the phoenix master was sitting high in the phoenix seat, he felt that his vitality was slim. He could only hope that he had just entered the palace at that time, and only relying on self-administered medicine to plant Ji Muzi to be registered as Jie Yu. Little concubine?!"
A heavy touch flashed across Ji Qin's face, and he didn't directly answer the question, only saying: "The empress is a smart person. Now that the showdown is over, the maidservant has said bluntly: There is actually no serious grievance between the master and the empress. Not to mention that there were several cooperations in private at the beginning, even at this moment, but also..."
auzw.com "Wait!" Yun Fenghuang stopped her, and said, "You said there was no grievances back then, it’s fine, there is no grudges now? Then I have a few hundred of Xie’s up and down. Human life, is it because of bad luck?"
She didn't believe in Xie Wuzheng, but from the point of view of interest, since the Xie family had mastered Xie Wuzheng, she would definitely have to figure out how to make Xie Wuzheng a higher position than the other brothers.
However, just relying on his identity as a consort, he still couldn't get past the many brothers, nephews and nephews of Yun Fenghuang's compatriot.
What's more, Xie Jian and Jiang are the parents, even if Yun Fenghuang thinks Xie Wuzheng is more talented and worthy of cultivation, it is impossible not to follow his brother and kiss his parents because of the face of his parents and the persuasion and request of his parents. Nephews tilt resources.
After all, she is not Yun Qingman whose father doesn't love his mother or his mother. She has been spoiled since childhood, but no matter how selfish she is, she still has affection for her family.
And these were incomparable to Xie Wuzheng's cousin who was not familiar with her before.
Therefore, the Ji family has sufficient reasons and motivations to destroy the Xie family.
Ji Qin said in a slow voice: "Manny, if the maidservant said that this was not the work of the Ji clan, you probably wouldn't believe it either. I just ask the maid to think about it. Since you were clever, I didn't expect that the master would send People persuade your cousin, but why do you want to murder the Xie family in one fell swoop, so as to forge an inscrutable hatred with you? Or do you really think that your cousin can't resist the temptation, your mother-in-law, and even your sister-in-law? , Nephews and nieces, they are all committed to you and cannot be persuaded by the master? Besides, with the master’s ability, it’s not difficult to convince them that cooperating with the master and hiding from you is also for you it is good!"
"After all, the maidservant Shu said bluntly: The three generations of the Xie family, Zhong Lingyuxiu is all in the same body."
"Except for Niang Niang, the others are all chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a blow!"
Yun Fenghuang looked at her without being angry or speaking.
Ji Qin paused for a moment, and then continued: "The husband's horse was only one of the main goals at the time, and there is another one. I think the empress is also aware of this right now, that is, the eighteenth brother of your compatriot. Master Xie Xiyu."
"That is the brother who has the best relationship with the mother and the mother. He is also a compatriot. He is kind and reasonable. If he is alive, even if the Xie family is still in peace, there are several nephews and brothers who can pass him and him before you. To go to his son?"
The imperial concubine was silent. This is the truth, Xie Xiyu... The first-in-law brother who grew up together the most when she was a child.
Even if he made a big mistake and went away, he still stayed behind-trouble her.
But when she recalled, the bitterness returned to bitterness, bitterness to bitterness. Even if there was a glimmer of hope to save him, she still couldn't bear to watch him die.
This brother is a little stupid after all, but no matter how stupid he is, he is also a brother.
Xie Wuzheng is totally incomparable.
"Why did the eighteen brothers be ruined and ruined, and didn't even have a son?" The imperial concubine frowned, her thoughts turned, revealing a little hope and expectation, "The palace heard that the daughter of the Tongji clan has descendants. , Shafer forget is one of them! The eighteenth brother... ever left a son and a half daughter on your side?"
Ji Qin didn't expect that she would think of this. He was startled, but a little regretful. He shook his head and said: "The Eighteenth Son is different from the consort. The consort is estranged from you, and is unwilling to be overwhelmed by the big house. He is very ambitious. Except for the heavy identity of Niang Niang's cousin, there is no bargaining chip to leave children with Ji's daughter. This is a plea made by Hu Ma as a show of sincerity."
"As for the eighteenth son, that is the mother-in-law brother."
"To put it in a bad way, the things done by the horses are placed on the eighteenth son, and there may not be no room for change!"
"If this is the case, how can the master use similar methods to the eighteenth son?"
"The master's family just sent people to pretend to be a helper, and instructed the eighteen sons to kill their wives and sons, and to continue the high-ranking ladies, so that Cui Wan could take care of him."
"However, I never thought of committing a murder to Young Master Eighteen."
"It's someone else who really did this."
Yun Fenghuang looked at her and asked slowly: "But I don't know, who is this person?"
"..." Ji Qin was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly, "The empress really thought that after the Xie clan was destroyed, Hu Ma and you suspected that the Gu clan was the culprit. Am I waiting to plant the blame?"
The imperial concubine let out a short sneer: "At that time, my palace was full of resentment, and coupled with no doubt about Xie Wuzheng, and even pitying for the same illness, I would naturally not think too much. Thinking about this in the past two days, I feel that there are many flaws. Say, it means that if the Gu family has the ability to do such big things, will they still suffer under the control of this palace over the years?!"
"My Xie family's temple is not a big deal, but in the north, it is also a strong and powerful native-born party!"
"It's not an ordinary person, let him squash and round!"
"Gu family alone can't do it." Ji Qin said calmly, "but what if... plus a Yun family?"
Yun Fenghuang's calmness was suddenly broken: "...what?"
Ji Qin said slowly: "Back then, your Majesty adopted the name of the emperor as the prince of a distant branch. He had the name of the emperor but not the emperor. He is like a puppet. The Gong unswervingly supported him. Although the Yun family has always been a royalist faction, but the royalist faction is not limited to the Yun family. His Majesty is not a close child of the Gongxiang family. When he came to the Imperial Capital, the ministers told him bluntly. I don’t have much feelings, and I even look forward to the regent’s father and son. The empress has never thought about why Yun Zhao is determined to send his only prostitute into the palace as concubine Shu, and also send the only prostitute to accompany him as a student. , To support your Majesty so freely?"
