Chapter 559 Secret Leakage, determined to scrap storage
On this day when the wind and snow first stopped, when Xue Dongchang listened carefully to the master's explanation and was convinced of the plan. At the same time, he did not realize that the third prince actually had other plans. At the same time, he had just left the Shenwu Gate and boarded the beautiful scenery of the King of Chu's mansion, which was as deep as a lock, and he was deeply suspicious of what he had just heard in Ci'an Palace.
Today, she was edicted to enter the palace. The Empress Dowager said bluntly that the emperor had agreed to marry. Wei Zhao was the third prince's concubine. After May, she was promoted to Uncle Wei as the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and issued an edict. She smiled and asked Yijing to know this "pleasant" good thing to the Wei family and prepare them in their hearts.
Yi Jing remembered what her cabinet said on that day - the emperor is a filial son, respects the empress dowager very much, and trusts the Yan family in our two houses. Therefore, even if the emperor is determined to abolish the reserve, he will not have a gap with the empress dowager. When the empress dowager is first, it will not cause hostility between Su and Yan. It is safe to rest assured that I believe that the third prince is Chujun, his imperial concubine must come from the Yan family.
So why did the emperor suddenly allow the marriage to Wei Zhao?
Although the imperial city driveway has been cleaned, it is still slippery and slow. Yijing is holding the short case in front of the seat with one hand, and the back is straight, and his mind is calculating quickly and nervously.
She believes in Yu's inference that if the emperor is determined to abolish the reserve, the most favorable person should be the third prince. So, is this another suspicious plan?
It should be that the empress dowager also felt that the position of storage may have changed, but she objected and took the marriage of the third prince as a temptation. The emperor should understand that it is not easy to persuade the empress dowager and did not say it bluntly. Those who are also concerned about the marriage of the third prince are not only the empress dowager, but also the empress dowager still supports the prince, so she has to work together with the queen.
is a suspect and a probation.
The deadline given by the Holy God is May... Then before May, there must be action, and after May, there will be no more will to marry Wei Zhao.
To this out, Yijing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the response is appropriate, the Wei family should not be too deeply involved. Presumably, the empress dowager and the queen will not publicize this matter before the decree is issued.
Therefore, she can't clearly talk about the marriage, but avoid letting the Wei family decide to marry Wei Zhao before May.
unconsciously came out of Bei'anmen. Yijing gently pushed open the inner window to block the cold wind, tapped on the window lattice, and the carriage suddenly stopped, "Go to the Hujia Lane Servant's Mansion." Beautiful scenery told the accompanying soldiers to stop and wait for the instructions when they heard the sound through the screen window.
Hearing that the concubine was coming, Wei Zhao greeted him very happily in the hanging flower door. After seeing the ceremony, he wrapped his beautiful arm. Wei's aunt, who never forgot to correct the etiquette, frowned and stared at Wei Zhao with a warning. His eyebrows were still impeccably respectful. First, he invited the beautiful scenery into the main hall and made a cold noise. After that, Yijing said: "Empress dowager Xiaokai, I made a special trip to the palace to greet her today. When the empress dowager gossiped with me, she talked about A Zhao and said that she was very happy about her temperament and talent. She intended to invite A Zhao to stay in the palace for a while after the climate warmed up."
This made Wei's aunt's expression very solemn, and her respectfulness added to her coldness.
She pretended not to notice and smiled at Wei Zhao, who was also surprised: "My aunt doesn't know anything. The empress dowager has always liked girls, but she is regretful because she doesn't have a daughter under her knees. I don't know how many times I have said envy to my grandmother about this matter. I was young at that time and lived in the palace for a period of time every year, although the empress dowager has With her granddaughter, the two princesses are still too young... At the same time, the Empress Dowager's talent is very important to her daughter's family. A Zhao's performance at the Fanglin banquet in the past was very satisfactory to the Empress Dowager, which made her go to the palace to accompany her for a while.
Exam Wei is very embarrassed: "I'm afraid that the little girl doesn't understand the court etiquette. If she exceeds the rules, she will fail the beauty of the Empress Dowager."
"The empress dowager is lenient, and my aunt doesn't need to worry... However, since A Zhao wants to enter the palace, some etiquette should still be followed. Mo Ru aunt allowed A Zhao to go back to the palace with me to live for a while, so that I need to pay attention to the details." The scenery smiled.
When Wei Zhao heard this, he looked forward to it.
Exuncle Wei's heart was heavy, but she knew that this could not be refused, so she first agreed and sent A Zhao.
Yijing continued: "When the empress dowager learned that A Zhao had not yet decided to marry, she also asked me if my uncle and aunt had any plans... My aunt was not in a hurry. The empress dowager has always been enthusiastic and was always interested in setting up the marriage of her ministers and sons. The Empress was really happy with A Zhao and said that she would find a good match for her."
The meaning is that Wei Zhao's marriage has been registered by the Tian family. It is not allow the Wei family to be selfish, but it is not clear that they will marry the prince. If things change in the future... Yijing only tells the Empress Dowager what she said today and let the Empress Dowager point out the marriage for Wei Zhao, which is also harmless to the royal family.
is that Wei's aunt has the intention to belong, or directly, as long as there is no harm to the overall situation, the empress dowager should be happy.
As soon as Wei's aunt heard that the empress dowager did not even ask Wei Zhao whether she was deny the marriage, but said bluntly that she "knowed the undetermined marriage", and then she knew that the Tian family had a plan. Since the concubine did not say it clearly, she thought that things would change. She forced herself to restrain her anger and still remained respectfully. She said that she would send Wei Zhao to the palace after discussing with Uncle Wei in the evening. Disturbing.
As a result, this night, Uncle Wei has been scolded by his aunt Wei, who respected her husband for the first time since he got married.
"I said that Zhao'er's marriage should be settled early, so as not to be remembered by the nobles of the rich family, and my husband said that he was reluctant to give up... Well, he was actually used by the Chu Palace... Today, I heard the meaning of the imperial concubine, and it was obviously the intention of the heavenly family... If the Wei family had another daughter who married into a rich family, wouldn't it completely destroy the reputation of Qingliu?"
Uncle Wei shook his head and sighed: "It's paranoid and stubborn! In the past two years, I have also seen clearly that although the prince and Yuaner are a royal clan, they are not only greedy. This matter is not as simple as you think. The words of Yuan's daughter-in-law today left room for us to turn around. Zhao'er has their maintenance, and the marriage will not shame the Wei family, let alone those clear reputations. In other words, as a minister, you should respect the king's order. The Empress Dowager valued Zhaoer so much, which is the blessing of my Wei family.
Wei's aunt's eyes turned red: "It's not that my concubine doesn't respect my husband's words, but once I think about it... If Zhao'er is allowed to be the prince's side concubine in the future... How can the daughter of my Wei family live in the position of concubine?"
"If things are not at that point, don't be suspicious, let alone speculate about the holy will." Uncle Wei said solemnly, but he couldn't bear it and comforted him again.
After the scenery went back, when Yu Yu resigned from the palace and returned home this night, he naturally did not hide it.
"It's very appropriate for you to deal with this." The son of the world was not too surprised.
"But I'm worried that if the third prince gets the throne, the empress dowager will make A Zhao a side concubine."
If the third prince gets the crown prince, the crown prince will be deposed. How can the queen tolerate it? Kong and Ning's second concubines are not helpful to the third prince. Even if the imperial concubine has decided on Yan's daughter, she still needs to increase the help of the side concubine.
"Don't worry, the Wei family has a high ancestor reputation and has a strong backbone. Wei's daughter has never been a concubine. The emperor will respect the reputation of the first family of Dalong and will not force people." Yu Yu was sure: "There are Yan, Su and the royal family and the Chu royal palace to assist the throne. The emperor must be assured that the marriage is not the key. The eighth prince is not old enough to get married. The marriage of the seventh prince has been decided, and the cousin will not marry into the royal family."
Yi Jingxin settled down. Although she married into the royal family, she was also at risk. Even if the reserve position is chosen, there may not be a struggle for the throne in the future. Wei Zhaoguang's temperament is very beautiful. She really doesn't want to see her cousin involved in these dangers.
And that night, Huang Tao suddenly received an urgent call from the fourth prince.
Since the removal of the clan, the Liao family has suffered many disasters, and most of the family's wealth has been scattered. Although Huang Tao has received funding from the Huang's family, he wants the Liao family to turn over with that capital, but he has really had bad luck. Commercial affairs have been repeatedly unsatisfied. Even if there are Huang Tao's ways, he can at most maintain the food and clothing of the two families, and it is difficult to return to their former wealth.
Huang Tao's three sons are also focusing on business at present. They don't want to enter the imperial examination at all. It is really an indelible stigma to be abandoned by the family. Even if they get a reputation, their future is limited unless they are reused for the heavenly family and specially promoted.
Obviously, only when the fourth prince gets the throne can Huang Tao and his son turn over. Instead of working hard in the imperial examination, he is dedicated to assisting the fourth prince.
Huang Tao was still a staff member of the Kong family at this time. At this time, he was instructed by the third prince to maintain a "brotherhood" with the crown prince Kong Jun. There is no need to sneak in and out of the fourth prince's mansion, because what the prince and Kong Jun appreciate is Huang Tao's "broad friendship" and he is alert, and often can not attract through those wine table meetings. After people pay attention to the words and events, after speculating and speculating, they give very useful suggestions, which is very conducive to the prince's conclusion of the party.
Liao, Huang Tao's niece, is now the favorite concubine of the fourth prince. Whenever the fourth prince has a banquet, he does not forget to call Huang Tao. Naturally, Huang Tao will also leak the people who have frequent contact with the fourth prince to Kong Jun. For example, the fourth prince's intention to make Su Ming know that Huang Tao "speculates" it out, which makes Kong Jun pay great attention.
I have to say that Huang Tao does have his ability to be able to navigate several sides, see the wind, and win the reserved trust of many parties.
But today, the fourth prince's attitude towards him was not as gentle as usual. As soon as they met, he blurted out, "Is there any action on the third side recently?"
Huang Tao was stunned: "No... I still told him to use my mind to make friends with Kong Jun."
The fourth prince slapped the case: "He can't calm down!"
"Your Highness... has just passed a round of imperial examination. Although there are three-class scholars, it will take at least two years to cultivate this group of people... With the city government of the Third Highness, it will not act at this time. At least wait for this group of concubines to form an emerging force and question the demon reserve to make the emperor move." Huang Tao advised, "Your Highness, you have to calm down."
The fourth prince's eyebrows were full of impetuousness, and seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally decided to reveal the secret to Huang Tao: "I can't wait any longer. The emperor's condition is critically, but only for a year... If there is a mountain collapse and the prince is still in the throne, how can we have a chance!"
Huang Tao was shocked and subconsciously asked, "Your Highness, where did you say this?" Xu suddenly realized that he had surpassed it. How could he inquire about the source of the fourth prince? He quickly said, "It's your liberty. What does your Highness mean?"
"Everyone is still hiding in the drum at present. Except for me, only the empress dowager knows, and the empress dowager is the direct leader as the reserve... At present, she can no longer sit and enjoy the fisherman, and must let the reserve position be suspended! You only secretly leaked this matter to Lao San, hoping that he can take action. The fourth prince made up his mind.
Huang Tao came out of the fourth prince's mansion, raised his foot and went to the opposite door, telling the shocking third prince the truth.
"Father Dragon is in critical condition!" The third prince was also shocked and got up, and his mind was like a wave of evil.
This matter was indeed not expected by him, but on second thought, the emperor set the marriage in May. It can be seen that there must be action before that. If it is to delay, he can deal with the empress dowager on the grounds that he still refuses to marry his wife. Although he has a plan because the layout has been decided, the emperor is so "hearty" It was indeed a little strange. Knowing that the dragon body was in critical condition, this layer of doubt was explained.
But for a moment, the third prince has calmed down and glanced at Huang Tao: "It seems that Lao Si can't help it. He deliberately leaked such a secret thing to you in order to provoke me to make a difference... Does he want to sit and enjoy the fisherman?" Tut, the third prince shook his head: "It's not me who should be anxious. Even if there is a change and the prince ascends the throne, he will not take me as an ally, but the queen grited her teeth with hatred."
Huang Tao was full of cold sweat, and he said that the third prince was indeed... calm.
"Well, I know what I said today, you can tell Lao Si word for word." The third prince smiled.
Huang Tao returned without success and saw the fourth prince again with a sad face.
"What a fox!" The fourth prince clenched his fist and gritted his teeth: "It's worthy of being my strong enemy!"
After ponder, the fourth prince sighed: "Lao San is right. He has two ways, but I have no way out. It's really time to let go, but the prince is useless, and it's really difficult to grasp... The second master should pay more attention to the Kong family. I don't believe that they are really iron."
The fourth prince temporarily abandoned the third prince and officially pointed the spearhead at the crown prince, but he did not know that three days later, the emperor Zhao Wei and Su Yu brothers went to the imperial study to talk secretly with the father and son of the king of Chu.
This time, the emperor did not have a courtesy, and four important ministers worshipped and knelt in front of his seat.
"I have decided to abolish the reserve!"
