son-in-law

Chapter 846
In winter, the vegetation withers, and the few crabapple trees in Changqiu Palace are bare.

The scorched leaves were scattered all over the ground, but Cao Yuhan refused to let the maid clean it up. She said that she likes to hear the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves.

A purple-robed eunuch in his 50s walked quickly into the Changqiu Palace and walked through a corridor full of fallen leaves.Without squinting, with a solemn expression, he walked straight to Feixiang Hall with his head slightly lowered.He ignored the vision of fallen leaves all over the ground in Changqiu Palace, as if he hadn't seen it.

In fact, with his status as the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is no need to be so cautious.

But Ji Lingyun entered the palace at the age of seven, and he has always been so low-key for more than 40 years.Because on the first day he entered the palace, he learned the rules of the palace.Inquiring, talking, and guessing indiscriminately will kill people.And the person who knows how to shut up is the most likable person.

In fact, not only in the palace, but also in ordinary people's homes.

If those women who were beaten knew how to keep their mouths shut, nine times out of ten they would not have to suffer this beating.

But knowing how to shut up is not to say nothing.

Someone asked a question, and if he pretended not to answer, he would be beaten.

Shutting up is an art.If the weak use it, they will not be beaten; if the strong use it, there will be fewer troubles.

Ji Lingyun walked into Feixiang Hall, came to the Empress Dowager and saluted politely.

Cao Yuzan sat up, waved her long sleeves and retreated to the left and right, leaving only Li Wantang behind.

As Cao Xiaobao walked, he squinted and gritted his teeth bitterly.

Sun Bumei hugged the little emperor and concentrated on walking until she left the hall.

"How is General Anxi?" Cao Yuzan hid her hands in her big sleeves and pinched them together, her fingers getting cold.

Ji Lingyun immediately replied: "When I saw General Anxi, the general was full of energy and high spirits. He has a hundred generals and forty thousand elite soldiers. In Jiaohe City, Liang Jun has a harmonious relationship with all ethnic groups and has lived in harmony for more than ten years. The only one The war was to help the Xiemo people fight the Xiongli people, which won the hearts of the people, and the surrounding peoples worshiped General Min as a god."

Cao Yuzan's face was filled with suppressed joy, but at the same time it was difficult to hide a trace of nervousness: "Did uncle agree?"

Ji Lingyun said: "General Anxi said that he is willing to serve the Empress Dowager."

The repressed joy suddenly bloomed, and Cao Yuzan raised her eyebrows and stared: "Big things can happen, big things can happen."

Ji Lingyun remained expressionless, he would never pour cold water on Cao Yuzan when he was happy, until Cao Yuzan asked, "What's wrong with uncle?"

Ji Lingyun said: "Although General Anxi has high expectations, if he wants to leave Jiaohe City, he may not be able to take all 4 people with him. In addition, the general said that the Tang family must attack Wuwei first, and then the Anxi army will respond to the Tang family. Instead of the Anxi army attacking Dunhuang, let the Tang family respond to the Anxi army. It is even more impossible to let the Tang family feign an attack like Sangla Guoshi said. That is useless."

The smile on Cao Yuhan's face gradually disappeared.

In fact, Ji Lingyun still has something to convey.The general said that he was worried that the Tang family would blackmail Cao Yuzan at a critical moment, so he had to let the Tang family get involved first.But Ji Lingyun thought that with Cao Yuzan's shrewdness, there was no need to say those words, so he kept his mouth shut.

At this time, Cao Yuzan was in trouble. He asked Tang Zhen to feint before, and Tang Zhen should be able to agree.But now that Tang Zhen really fights, and is the first to attack, it is difficult for Tang Zhen to agree.

The Tang family's 15 Shence Army guards the key points of Hanzhong, and [-] troops will be divided to guard Chang'an.At this time, it is difficult for the Tang family to take only [-] soldiers from Lanzhou to fight Sangla.

Then only send troops from Gyeonggi Province to support Tang Zhen, but how can we persuade the virtuous King Kang?
Er Wang knew in his heart that Min Yue could not be allowed to come back.Otherwise, the situation of the two kings dominating the hegemony will be broken, and it will become a tripartite confrontation again.Who would want one more enemy?

Cao Yuzan thought for a while and said, "The tax reform in Guannei Road is coming to an end. I will talk to Tang Zhen when he comes back."

Cao Yuzan turned to Li Wantang and said, "You go and tell Sangla Guoshi that the Ai family is determined to fight this battle, but we just need him to wait."

In fact, Cao Yuzan was delaying the time, she was not sure to make it happen, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

She wanted to send troops against the second king, or force the second king to send troops.

But of course she couldn't do it herself, so let Tang Zhen do it.And this requires more chips to stimulate Tang Zhen.

……

The Daojun post in Guannei rushed to Luoyang to deliver letters, one of which was addressed to Princess Qin Tang Linger.

The princess opened the letter and saw that it was written by her brother.

After reading the letter, Tang Ling'er's face turned pale and her heart beat faster.

Tang Zhen actually asked Tang Ling'er to take Ximen Wanting and Meng Can into the Qin Palace.

This news hit Tang Ling'er as hard as being struck by lightning.My heart beat violently, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and it was difficult to breathe.

Tang Zhen explained the matter, and now Princess Taichang is not the only one requesting it, Meng Shi and Ximen Shi also make requests.

This matter was first initiated by Jing Guogong Meng Danqing. He suggested that in order to better maintain the relationship between the royal family and the three families of Tang Meng and Ximen, according to the provisions of the "Taiping Alliance", Emperor Daxing should choose a queen.

But Cao Yuzan said that before the little emperor turned thirteen years old, the position of empress would be vacant, so it would be better to choose the four noble concubines first.The four noble concubines are selected by Tang, Meng and Ximen each, and another one is selected by Gongxun Street in Daoguangfang.

Before Meng Danqing could say anything, the virtuous king stood up again and overturned all the proposals of Meng Danqing and Cao Yuzan.

At this time, Meng Danqing proposed again: Ximen Juanxiang, the official concubine of King Geng, and Tang Linger, the official concubine of King Qin, did not have a Meng family girl in the two families.This is a serious violation of the Peaceful Alliance.Therefore, two side concubines of the Meng family must be sent to the families of the two regents, and they must be ranked high, second only to the main concubine.This time the virtuous king agreed, but Cao Yuhan didn't say a word.

Although King Xian agreed, Tang Zhen and Ximen Zhensen disagreed.

Ximen Zhensen asked the virtuous king: If the girl from the Meng family killed my girl, can she be promoted to the right concubine?Isn't this the way to create chaos?

Tang Zhen suggested: Even if the main concubine dies, the main concubine will not be promoted from the side concubines, but the main concubine will be selected from the main concubine's natal family.

As a result, after the collision of the three powerful princes and the royal family, a result was reached: the two regents' families acted in accordance with the "Alliance of Peace".In Zhao Zhun's family, the left regent, the Zhan family who had a broken leg retained the title of concubine, and added Tang and Meng as side concubines.In Zhao Yu's house, the right regent, Feng Yu and Kong Ting were abolished as side concubine, and Ximen Wanting, Meng Can and a girl from Daoguangfang were added.

Ximen Wanting is the younger sister of Ximen Zhensen, Duke of Chu, and Meng Can is the daughter of Feihu General Staff Meng Lun.

The reason why Meng Lun's daughter was chosen was also a helpless move.Meng Danqing no longer has a biological sister.Meng Danqing's eldest daughter is already married at the age of 16, her second daughter is 12 years old, and her third daughter is only five years old.

If you force the distribution, you can barely marry at the age of 12.But how to divide the two regents?And the third daughter, Meng Die, couldn't marry, because it was for the emperor.

Simply use the two daughters of Meng Lun's family, Meng Cui is 15 years old, and Meng Can is 14 years old.

Meng Lun must be the future elder of the Meng Clan. He has great military exploits and high prestige, and he is the number two figure in the Meng Clan.His daughter, the portion is enough.

Facing pressure from others, Tang Linger would always fight.But facing Tang Zhen, she was helpless.He fell on the couch and couldn't get up, looking faint.

At that time, Su Yu was listening to Ouyang Jing's bragging in the palace of the king. Ouyang Jing cheated out of more than two billion yuan and paid off the debt. At this time, he still held one-third of the Metropolis shares.

Strange to say, since new shareholders joined, Metropolitan's business has improved and it has stopped losing money.In the past, he wanted to cheat money to cash out, but now the lie has come true.Seeing that Metropolis is really making money, those shareholders increased their investment.Ouyang Jing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and ran up to King Qin, dancing and dancing.

At this time, Su Yu heard the news that the concubine fell ill, and hurried to Xiaofeng Pavilion, read the letter paper, and lamented how powerful the family was.The regent's daughter-in-law, the regent himself can't decide.

Su Yu put the letter aside, stretched out his hands to comb his concubine's beautiful hair, and comforted softly: "Ling'er is not upset, this matter is easy to handle. Expand Qin Palace, arrange them to the back, and it will be fine if you don't see them. You will never You are number one in the family, and this king only favors you."

This made the men feel numb to death, but for the women, it was a punch that broke their defenses, and it worked like a booster. Tang Ling'er, who was in a coma, opened her eyes and stared at Su Yu.

Suddenly she closed her eyes again, and said with disgust: "Speak lightly, when they come in, you don't say that."

Su Yu smiled: "Why are you so unconfident? In my opinion, they are not as good as you."

Tang Linger turned around and grabbed Su Yu's hand: "Stop bluffing me."

Su Yu wanted to change the subject and distract Tang Linger's attention, so he smiled and said, "Do you know why this situation happened?"

Tang Ling'er stared at Su Yu weakly and asked, "Why?"

"If the queen is confirmed, I don't think Meng Danqing will insist on doing this." Su Yu hugged Tang Linger and pinched her big ears: "Cao Yuzan said that the queen's position will be vacant until the emperor is 13 years old. Annoyed Meng Danqing. Because at first Meng Danqing thought that the empress must belong to the Meng family, but now Cao Yuzan has wavered."

Tang Linger was curious: "Then who do you think it will be?"

Su Yu shook his head: "I can't explain it clearly. I don't know what tricks Cao Yuhan has been doing recently. Why did she turn the certainty into suspense? Maybe she is trying to please someone?"

Su Yu picked up the letter again and looked at it: "I suspect that she is flattering your brother."

Tang Zhen has only one daughter, named Tang Yuan, nicknamed "Rabbit".Everyone usually calls her Tang Xiaotu, but not many people know her real name.Tang Yuan is already eight years old, while Emperor Daxing is less than two years old.But this does not prevent political marriages. It is not uncommon for queens to be older than emperors in history.

Su Yu didn't know the inside story, but Su Yu guessed that the reason why Cao Yuhan flattered Tang Zhen was related to the Hexi Corridor.But the Tang family only deployed 5 people in Lanzhou, and the defense seemed to be stretched, so how could they attack?
