Spring Girl's Notes

Gu Jinzhi didn't want to deal with the concubines.

It's not that they have nothing to do all day long and think about plotting against others, but that the empress dowager is in charge of the sixth palace temporarily, and there is no master in the middle palace.

Before the Queen's decision, these women acted more or less carefully.

Gu Jinzhi didn't take advantage of other people's ideas, and he didn't like being used by others.

A quiet and peaceful life is what she wants.

So she smiled and rejected Tan Guifei: "The imperial concubine's complexion is ruddy, her air is healthy, she has no minor illnesses, my lady, please be at ease, and eat lightly. I wish my lady good luck and longevity."

The Queen Mother just laughed and beckoned Gu Jinzhi to sit back.

She took Gu Jinzhi's hand affectionately, and said to Concubine Tan Gui: "A good person, how could he expect to feel uncomfortable? He must be lazy again, trying to pretend to be sick."

Concubine Tan quickly laughed, and said: "The queen dowager betrays the concubine! The concubine dare not, but these few days, it is indeed a little uncomfortable. I am afraid that it is the winter and spring season, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"It's good to rest and recuperate." The queen mother smiled, "Aren't you feeling a little unwell? You don't need to take medicine, you children's family can't stand things, and a little thing is like something. "

Concubine Tan Gui quickly said yes.

Gu Jinzhi didn't want to show it in front of the concubines, Concubine Tan, Concubine Zhang and the emperor all saw it.

Concubine Zhang originally wanted to have fun, so Empress Dowager Bo laughed.Now Concubine Tan Gui was also blocked back, so she didn't dare to speak, she stood quietly aside, sizing up Gu Jinzhi with a pair of beautiful eyes.

The Queen Mother.... She likes the future Princess Luyang very much, and she does not hesitate to refute Concubine Tan Guifei's words for her.

Concubine Tan Guifei saw it.I'm afraid I won't be angry, but I want to curry favor with Gu Jinzhi even more?

Now in this palace, apart from the first empress, the empress dowager does not favor any concubine. To be liked by her old man will add a lot of bargaining chips in the future battle for succession.

Concubine Zhang's heart also moved slightly.

The emperor also took one look at Gu Jin, and then at the honest-looking King Luyang sitting next to the queen mother.

His eyes fell on King Luyang for a moment.

The queen mother felt a little cold.

The emperor's filial piety is true.Suspicion is getting worse day by day.

It seems that every emperor is like this.

She yawned.

Gu Jinzhi saw it.So he got up, took Luyang King's hand, and the two saluted the queen mother and said goodbye.

The Queen Mother did not keep them.

Come out from Kunning Palace.King Luyang pouted.A little unhappy said: "The queen mother said. The palace made quail soup. Xiaoqi, I want to eat quail soup."

"Come to my house, I'll do it for you. Okay?" Gu Jinzhi said.

She felt that even if King Luyang was a fool, it would be better to avoid entering the palace.The emperor can't see, out of sight is out of mind.

"Will you do it too?" King Luyang asked cautiously, a little skeptical.

Gu Jinzhi burst out laughing.

She nodded with certainty.

King Luyang also laughed, narrowed his eyes, turned around and took her hand, and walked out quickly: "Go back and eat quail soup. Xiaoqi, I'm already hungry, do you have any pastries with you..."

The two talked together, and walked out of the palace gate together.

Aunt Cheng still sent them to the gate of the palace, and said to Gu Jinzhi: "The lord is entrusted to you, serve the lord with all your heart, so that the queen mother won't worry."

Gu Jin's way is.

King Luyang and one of Gu Jin left, and Concubine Tan Guifei and Concubine Zhang also left.

The emperor stayed alone and greeted the empress dowager's body.

"...I heard from the palace people that you have been lazy in eating and talking these past two days. I am very worried and want to invite Jinzhi into the palace to have a look." The emperor sat opposite the queen mother, mother and son were talking heart-to-heart, "Unbelievable, they are also filial. Have you prescribed a prescription?"

"There is no prescription." The queen mother smiled, "She said it's okay. It's normal to be a little lazy in this season, and you don't need to take medicine. The medicine she sent in last time, Aijia's medicine is also useful every now and then. It nourishes the lungs and nourishes the cough. It won't happen again. The emperor doesn't need to worry about Aijia."

The emperor's face became even more relaxed, with a reassuring look.

The queen mother asked him again if there was any embarrassment in the court recently.

"...It snowed in the north last year, and countless herdsmen's cattle, sheep and horses froze to death. The Tatars are afraid that they will loot again. I have added some food and grass to the north, but I don't know how long it will be able to suppress it." The emperor said, "It will warm up in spring." In the south, whether it is a plague or a flood, or a drought, I am also worried about it. This is the same every year. In Beijing, it is nothing more than a letter from the official to establish the East Palace and the Central Palace early to stabilize the court. "

The queen mother nodded slightly after listening.

For the important affairs of the court, the courtiers plan for the emperor.

But if you want to establish a queen or a prince, you need the help of the queen mother.

In the emperor's palace, there were only five people.

The concubines are the first-rank concubine Tan and the second-rank concubine Zhang.

Zhang's natal family is a powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the power in the court is weak; Tan's natal family is prominent, and the disciples of the old man of the Tan family are all over the court and the public.

It is already clear at a glance who to choose.

"It's always noisy." The queen mother sighed, "Since the first queen has been arguing to set up the middle palace in addition to the clothes, the Ai family heard the emperor's report, and the ears are callused, let alone the emperor? Why don't you stand up, and the concubine Zhang will also be the emperor." worthy of..."

The Queen Mother valued Concubine Zhang.

The emperor was silent for a moment.

The queen mother is used to being cautious, and has always been unwilling to clarify her attitude easily, lest the emperor feel that her mother is interfering in politics.

"...The Tan family will not let it go." The emperor said, "Then there will be another commotion."

"Since that's the case, why don't you make a crown prince first?" The queen mother said, "The eldest prince was born by the empress first. Doesn't the Tan family just want a foreign family? After the crown prince is established, and then the concubine Zhang is the queen, what else do they have to say? Prince, and made Concubine Tan Guifei the queen, what will the emperor use to suppress the Tan family in the future? Their family has eaten the guts of leopards?"

Empress Xian and Concubine Tan Guifei are twin sisters, both daughters of the Tan family.

What the queen mother said was exactly what the emperor wanted.

He smiled and nodded.

"When I saw that my mother liked Concubine Tan Guifei very much, I thought..." The emperor smiled again.

The queen mother also laughed, and said: "Concubine Tan is very likable. She entered the prince's mansion at the age of 13 and served the emperor with her twin sister. After that, the elder sister was the princess, and she was Liangdi. The elder sister gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. She had nothing to do for a few years. Out; elder sister is the empress, she is the imperial concubine, everything is humble, but she is quiet, there is nothing in the palace caused by Concubine Tan. With such a heart, how could the Ai family not like her?"

The emperor listened, but there was a secretly sarcastic smile on the corner of his lips.

Concubine Tan Gui is indeed "virtuous"...

Even a smart and wise person like the Queen Mother thinks she is good...

Fortunately, the Queen Mother is wise.Can understand major political affairs.Otherwise, if she speaks up for Concubine Tan Gui and wants to make her queen, how can the emperor openly refute it?

At that time, the Tan family will put more pressure on them.The emperor may have compromised.

What about that smart and "virtuous and not jealous" woman?The emperor thought it was funny.

Tan Guifei.Probably the most calm and quiet among the emperor's concubines.

"... Ai's family has been in this deep palace for more than 20 years. What kind of characters have you not seen? People live in this world. They always ask for something." The queen mother continued, "Some people seek fame, others seek profit. What you want is either very deep in your thoughts, or you have gone through the world.

Concubine Tan Gui is not the one who sees through the world.If she becomes a queen, her former lovable character will probably be put away and her true colors will be revealed.Aijia doesn't want to see her true colors.She is just like now, she is under others, so she can be gentle and quiet, aloof from the world, and the Ai family likes it the most. "

The emperor just laughed.

It turned out that the Empress Dowager saw it as profoundly as he did.

Her old man's "like" means this.

The emperor's heart was relieved.

The queen mother's thoughts were consistent with his, so he was more sure of himself and acted with more confidence.

For many years, the queen mother has always been like this, silently standing by the emperor's side, thinking about everything for him.Knowing that the emperor didn't really love King Luyang, the Queen Mother would rather not see King Luyang.

It is also a mother and child, and the inferior mother always has partiality.

Seriously, the empress dowager's heart should be biased toward the emperor, right?

"What the queen mother said is very true, I will remember it in my heart." The emperor said.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly.

After thinking for a while, the emperor said again: "There is one more thing. The princess sent me a report, saying that An Nanguo rebelled, and the Hu family and his son usurped the Chen family's position. I was still talking about the chief assistant a few days ago. He said, it’s March this year, why hasn’t An Nanguo’s tribute been delivered yet? It seems that something has happened. I also met a person who claimed to be King Yu of Annan Kingdom..."

"There is such a thing?" The Queen Mother frowned, "Using the throne and seeking a country is a serious crime!"

"I believe him a little bit, but I'm not sure." The emperor also said, "The matter is of great importance, and the elders in the cabinet have different opinions."

The queen mother nodded: "Be careful."

The emperor said yes.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, the emperor got up to take his leave and went to the imperial study.

The elders were still discussing the matter of An Nanguo, and the emperor wanted to go back to hear the result.

Unexpectedly, on the fourth day of March, An Nanguo's envoy suddenly arrived in the capital.

The person who came was Feng Shu, claiming to be the nephew of the Chen family and now the son of the king Hu.The former king Chen had no children, so he made his nephew Hu the king.

But some people refused to accept it and came to frame it.

There is no King Yu in An Nanguo at all.

An Nanguo was far to the south, and the emperor didn't know the inside story.

Both sides had their own rhetoric, and the emperor didn't believe any of them.

He wants to send someone to visit Annan himself.

Gu Yantao is a very suitable person.When he came back, the emperor made him a Marquis on the pretext of his meritorious service, and promoted him to be the next Chief Assistant.

Chen Yuchao stayed in Beijing temporarily, waiting for the conclusion of the matter.

Hu's emissary also stayed behind.

In Gu Jin's family, it was several days before they heard that the uncle was going to go to An Nanguo as an envoy.

Song Pan'er listened and didn't say anything.

She didn't have a good impression of her uncle.

Gu Jinzhi thought that Chen Yuchao was safe for the time being.If another accident happened to him, it would prove that Hu and his son had a guilty conscience.

As a result, it was heard the next day that Chen Yuchao was assassinated and his life was dying.

The emperor was shocked and took all the envoys of the Hu family and his son into prison.

Qin Shensi hurriedly went to the door of Gu's house: "Miss Seven, you should go and have a look. Mr. Chen said that he doesn't trust other doctors, and he is afraid of being bribed, so he just wants to show you."

Gu Jinzhi frowned slightly.

Was assassinated by such a coincidence, did Chen Yuchao direct and act himself, and then wanted someone to help with the aftermath?
