The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

Yingluo lowered her head in response.

Jiang Fuguang's eyelids were a little heavy, but he managed to cheer up: "Since the Yu Dynasty died in the aristocratic family, for hundreds of years, the aristocratic family has become powerful."

Yingluo knew that the eldest princess had told Fan Siqing and others through her own words, so she hurriedly listened attentively.

After Jiang Fuguang said a few words, he became breathless and coughed intermittently: "When Nan Taizu established the Southern Dynasty, in order to gain the support of the aristocratic family, he acquiesced that the children of the Gu family would become prime minister for generations. Over the years, the Gu family has become deeply rooted in the court. , the forces are intertwined, with disciples and old officials all over the court, the so-called neutral faction is just the influence of the aristocratic family headed by the Gu family."

Gu Xi was neutral from generation to generation, safeguarded imperial power, balanced the situation of the government, did not participate in party struggles, nor participated in the fight for heirs, and never harmed the country, and was deeply trusted by emperors of all generations.

But, are they really upholding imperial power?

"Jiang and Gu rule together, and Jiang and Gu share the world," Jiang Fuguang chuckled, "What the family headed by the Gu family really protects is their fame and fortune under the imperial power. The eternal imperial power also represents their eternal glory. Enjoy."

The funny thing is that she didn't understand such a simple truth until she was deeply involved in it.

Her father once said to her: "The water in the court is far deeper than you think."

Since she entered the court, no matter what she did, she had no disadvantages. She thought she was in control of the court situation, but she didn't know that from the time she interfered in the private affairs, she had offended the family headed by the Gu family, her father, her grandfather, and even her husband. Meng Gong protected her from the pressure from the aristocratic family.

The old Xun faction was also a pawn in the hands of the aristocratic family, a tool for profit, so it was deeply rooted and difficult to eradicate, leaving even the father at a loss.

Her father wanted to use the illegal salt case to completely eradicate these old forces hidden in the court and leave a clean court in her hands. However, her father's behavior completely angered the family.

That's how it happened. After she left Beijing, the aristocratic family manipulated the old feudal factions and stirred up trouble in the court. Prime Minister Gu stood aside and watched. His father was seriously ill from overwork, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. Prince Changjun and Jiang Jingzhang were forced to a dead end by the aristocratic family. Jiang Lingrong became The prince chosen by a noble family.

Jiang Fuguang sighed: "Without the support of Gu Xi, and with the capabilities of the old honorary party, it would be impossible for Jiang Lingrong to ascend the throne as emperor."

This is the most famous literary family in the world——

Gu!

The world calls it the home of the pillars of the Southern Dynasty. The Gu family is known as "the Gu family will not be destroyed, and the Southern Dynasty will not be destroyed"!

Those courtiers kept saying that they hoped that she would recover from her illness and return to the court to assist the new king in governing the country, but they were not sincere.It's because the current situation in the court is in chaos, and the courtiers need to rely on her to stabilize the situation, stabilize the country, and appease the Qi family's army.Whenever the Qi family is a little weak, they will unite to divide the rights in her hands.

"So," Jiang Fuguang said a lot, his voice hoarse, "Is this Southern Dynasty the Jiang family's dynasty, or is it the Gu family's world?"

Yingluo's heart trembled slightly.

"The general trend of the world must be reunited after being separated for a long time." Jiang Fuguang seemed a little tired, closing his eyes and leaning on the couch, "This is the general trend."

As early as 16 years ago, the family had finished the Southern Dynasty. It was the father's hard work and the grandfather's illness that made the Southern Dynasty regain its vitality. The national destiny of the Southern Dynasty was tied to the father and the grandfather. Now My father died, my grandfather died in battle, and no one could suppress the family anymore.Jiang Fuguang murmured: "Protect yourself wisely!"

……

Lingnan.

Concubine Mu woke up from her hazy dream and stared blankly at the curtain on the top of the bed. For a moment, she couldn't tell what night it was.

She still remembered that that night, His Majesty was rarely in good spirits, so she asked Zhang Dequan to stand up. She held His Majesty's hand and walked with staggering steps on the long corridor. on the figure.

Scattered fine snow was floating in the sky, falling on His Majesty's mostly gray hair. She was worried that His Majesty would catch cold, so she stood on tiptoes to help His Majesty put on the hood of his cloak. His Majesty shook his head and raised his hand to twist her There is a piece of snow in the black hair, and the snow melts as soon as you hold it.

"It doesn't matter," he said in a hoarse voice, looking at the bits of snow in her hair, "If they meet Muxue in the morning, they will grow together in this life."

Concubine Mu's eyes trembled slightly, she suppressed the soreness in her throat, smiled and changed the subject, pointing to the green osmanthus trees not far away: "Earlier, Ayan and I picked a lot of osmanthus flowers and brewed a jar of them. The sweet-scented osmanthus wine was buried under that sweet-scented osmanthus tree. When Ayan returned to Beijing, we dug up the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and the three of us sat in the Manna Hall, enjoying the snow and having a drink. It was quite interesting to think about it."

Emperor Nanxing raised his hood to shield her from the wind and snow: "Osmanthus wine is sweet and warm, good for the spleen and stomach. After staying outside for a long time, I felt a little cold, so I drank three or two cups. It was just right to warm up the cold." He seemed to be afraid of the cold. She didn't agree, so he explained, "Drink less, it won't hurt your health."

Seeing that he was rarely happy, Concubine Mu didn't want to spoil his mood, so she had no choice but to nod: "No more than three cups."

"Okay!" Emperor Nanxing agreed with a smile.

Scattered snowflakes were fluttering outside the window, and the chill penetrated into the house from the window. The couple was warming themselves over a charcoal fire and sat by the window. There was a clay stove on the table, warming osmanthus wine.

Emperor Nanxing thought of many things in the past: "I remember that one year during the Wanshou Festival, the late emperor held a banquet in Taiji Hall to entertain princes and envoys from various countries. The young prince of Nanyue came to congratulate the late emperor on his long life on behalf of the head of Nanyue. Later, at the martial arts meeting, he openly provoked the Taiwei Mansion. At that time, the relationship between the Southern Dynasty and South Vietnam was already in danger, and the Taiwei Mansion seemed very passive when it came to the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

Concubine Mu was a little confused. This happened 20 years ago, but thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Emperor Nanxing smiled: "Linfeng and Nanfeng are older than the little prince. They may bully the younger prince. Even if they win, they must follow the facts and think that they won without force. This will really embarrass the Taiwei Mansion. But the little prince has an arrogant attitude and refuses to give up."

Thoughts surged forward, and Concubine Mu looked a little dazed, as if she had returned to that grand palace banquet 20 years ago.

At that time, she was a daughter of a general, and under the influence of her father and brother, she liked military strategies, swordsmanship, and spears, but her father and brother never restrained her.

What is surprising is that among the three siblings, the eldest brother and the second brother are both good at sword skills. She is the only one who is quite talented in marksmanship and has inherited some of her father's true skills. Her biggest wish in life is to fight with her father and brother. He usually goes into battle to kill the enemy, but his father and brother never agree.

She understands how much her father and brother love her. The Qi family has shed too much blood for the Southern Dynasty. If they go through life and death, the final result will be that even their most beloved wife, daughter and sister will go to the battlefield and bleed and die. How can they be embarrassed?
