Chapter 1567 Xin Zi Juan re-enters the Jia Mansion (Part 2) 5000-word update, please vote!
She sighed inwardly, but Feng Ziying also knew that it would be difficult to change Jia Yuanchun's opinion unless she had definite evidence.
Where can I get the definite evidence?
If he really had concrete evidence, he would have submitted it to Qi Shiqiao and the others long ago. There would be no need to think so painstakingly about how to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, the princes have all grown up, and it is normal for the emperor to select and establish a crown prince. Autumn is the most important stage for the royal family to select and establish a crown prince. All the princes should participate in Qiu. This is also an important event. In a performance competition, it all depends on who the emperor values more, or which aspect he values more."
Feng Ziying saw the enthusiasm in Yuanchun's eyes, and she couldn't bear to pour cold water on him. But the question is, no matter who is really selected as the crown prince, how meaningful is it to Jia Yuanchun?
At most, he can help Jia Baoyu speak in front of the future prince. But in the current situation, how much time does the emperor have? This is one aspect. In addition, why would the person who was selected as the crown prince give you a concubine who has no heirs, and will be sent to a remote and cold palace to die in the future?
If Jia Yuanchun doesn't even understand this, then his beautiful face and graceful body will really be wasted.
"Which Ziying do you think has a greater chance?" She knew that asking this question was stupid or inappropriate, but Yuanchun still asked it because she believed that Ziying would not deceive her on these issues, and with Ziying Ying's knowledge and vision will definitely make his own unique judgment.
“Your Majesty, how do you want me to answer this question?” Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and shook her head. “Theoretically, there is a chance. It all depends on the perspective from which the emperor considers the problem.”
“Ziying, can you be more specific?” Yuan Chun felt a little shameless in asking.
"To put it simply, if the emperor wants stability, then he should choose the crown prince among the three of King Shou, King Fu, and King Li. King Shou is more suitable. After all, he is the eldest son. The ministers in the court will definitely prefer this kind of heirloom. There are rules for establishing the elder, but it seems that the emperor doesn’t like King Shou very much, so it’s hard to say; King Lu is the most favored by the emperor, and he is already an adult, and Concubine Mei has also been favored for many years,..."
Feng Ziying thought for a while and then said: "Isn't it true that the empress should know that the leader of Camp Shenji promised Qiu Shiben's daughter to the legitimate son of Su Shengdu, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town?"
Jia Yuanchun was a little confused and shook his head: "Ziying, does this matter?"
Feng Ziying glanced at Yuan Chun. Seeing that the other party didn't know the details here, she didn't know what to say. She shook her head: "Don't you know that Su Shengdu is Concubine Su's cousin?"
As soon as these profound words came out, Jia Yuanchun changed his color in shock, "Isn't that...?"
"No, don't think too much about it. Maybe this is just a normal marriage between Wu Xun, but can it be regarded as a tendency? In addition, Concubine Su has two adult sons. Even Qiu Shi'an is immersed in the palace. The old man who has been a prostitute for decades is on the side of Concubine Su, so who can tell clearly?" Feng Ziying said leisurely.
Feng Ziying's words obviously couldn't make Jia Yuanchun feel relieved. She immediately said: "Ziying, do you think the marriage between Su Shengdu and Qiu Shiben has no impact? Really?"
Feng Ziying couldn't answer, so she thought for a moment before saying: "It depends on the circumstances. If something happens suddenly and the reserve is vacant, then Qiu Shiben's Shenshu Camp is one of the three major camps in Beijing, so his attitude is indeed very... It is important, especially if the attitudes of the important ministers in the DPRK are inconsistent,..."
Yuan Chun's face became paler and paler. Although he didn't mean anything when he said "something happened suddenly", Yuan Chun understood what it meant. This Feng Ziying was so brave!
It's just that he has no time to take into account Feng Ziying's "rebellious and unethical" attitude now. "Doesn't that mean that the probability of being a blessed king and a courteous king is the highest? Then we..."
Feng Ziying glanced at Yuan Chun again and said leisurely: "Mother, I don't know why you are so eager to get involved in this. Well, if you are so impatient and close your eyes and ears, you will only burn yourself."
Yuan Chun was confused. She didn’t know what Feng Ziying meant. She stared at Feng Ziying with wide eyes, waiting for Feng Ziying’s explanation.
Feng Ziying sighed again. He was really amused by Yuanchun's childishness. No wonder he was stunned by Qiu Shi'an. He didn't know how she survived in the palace. It was probably because no one had taken her. Even if you hit her eyes, maybe you don’t think she is threatening, right?
"Have you heard about Qian Guozhong, the newly appointed general of the Shenji Camp?" Feng Ziying had a strange smile on her lips, "He was recommended by Prince Zhongshun and Lu Song, the commander-in-chief of Long Jinwei. Well, at the same time This Qian Guozhong is also Concubine Mei’s cousin.”
"Huh?!" Jia Yuanchun stood up in shock, and even startled Baoqin and Chengen outside the door, who both looked over.
Jia Yuanchun finally understood the meaning of Feng Ziying's words at this time. She was impatient and closed her eyes. She was a little angry before and thought Feng Ziying was too presumptuous, but now she realized that she was telling the truth and was driven to the bone.
It's just ridiculous that I am still like a fool, knowing nothing about these situations. If I blindly follow Qiu Shian or Su Lingyao's baton, then what will happen if I don't really get burned in the end?
“Does the empress know nothing about these situations while she is in the palace?” Feng Ziying sighed, “King Zhonghui is about to be appointed as the governor of the capital. The empress should know this news, right?”
Yuanchun looked pale and nodded: "I know this news."
"Then the empress has thought about it, why did the emperor let King Zhonghui serve as the governor of the Beijing camp? Should King Zhongshun be more suitable than King Zhonghui?" Feng Ziying asked again.
Yuan Chun was at a loss, and after thinking for a while, he said: "King Zhongshun is indeed more trusted by the emperor. King Zhonghui has not participated in politics for many years. Logically speaking, it should be King Zhongshun, but why is this?"
“Think again, your Majesty.” Feng Ziying looked at Yuan Chun openly at this time, “At this time, every move of the Emperor has deep meaning. If it is not in line with common sense, it must have its own special purpose.”
Yuan Chun thought hard for a while, and then asked uncertainly: "Ziying, but the emperor doesn't want just one person to control the capital, or does it mean that the emperor hopes to have a better balance?"
Fortunately, he is not too stupid. Feng Ziying nodded: "Maybe, so in this case, it is unbelievable to say who is more likely. It is just confusing. I am afraid it will be difficult to realize the idea of the queen, and it is not worth it." If you start to express your attitude so early, this bet should not be made at least now, and we dare not make it."
Yuanchun suddenly felt lost and leaned back in his chair with some frustration. It is not easy to follow the dragon's skill, but if he doesn't place a bet and wait until the situation becomes clear before expressing his attitude, I'm afraid it will lose its original meaning.
But Feng Ziying’s worries are not without reason. Once she is in the wrong team, the price she will pay in the future may be unbearable.
What should we do about this?
Seeing that Yuanchun's momentum had been knocked down by him, Feng Ziying had enough time to start switching from defense to offense.
“Empress, actually I have always wanted to ask a question. How do you think about it when you are so enthusiastically involved in these things? In other words, what purpose do you want to achieve through this series of actions?”
He really wanted to understand what Yuanchun was thinking. If he didn't understand Yuanchun's true thoughts, he wouldn't be able to make the right response.
Especially now that I am half aboard the Jia family's pirate ship, or that the Jia family and the Feng family are already vaguely entangled, I need to understand the situation even more.
Jia Yuanchun seemed to have realized something. He bit his lip lightly, but suddenly realized that his action was too weak, and he quickly turned cold, "Ziying, what do you want to say?"
"Girl, you should know very well what I want to say." Feng Ziying looked at the other party politely and said.
Yuanchun was shocked and angry. The other party no longer called her "empress", but changed her name to "eldest lady". This was to use her identity before entering the palace to humiliate herself. She did not regard herself as a noble concubine. It was obviously treason. Extremely arrogant!
Noticing that the other person's cheeks suddenly turned red, and his eyes were angry and slightly frightened, Feng Ziying found that she felt a little happy inside.
This woman has brought a lot of trouble to herself. She plays with fire in the palace and does not have the strength. She even wants to drag the Jia family into trouble. But now the Jia family is closely related to herself, and she cannot tolerate this situation continuing. .
Suppressing the anger and panic in his heart, Yuan Chun said word by word: "Feng Keng, please explain it clearly to me!"
Feng Ziying is also a little angry. It is too ridiculous to do this to herself and use her power to suppress others.
"Girl, how much I respect you is not because you are a royal concubine in the palace. If you want to discuss this level, I am a civil servant and I should not meet you at all!" Feng Ziying said coldly: "I have considered it. The current relationship between the Jia and Feng families is that the eldest girl is the eldest daughter of Uncle Zheng Shi, we are also family friends, and Baochai, Daiyu and Yingchun are also the eldest girl’s sisters.”
"Girl, don't think that your title as a noble concubine has much use or influence on me, Feng Ziying. To be honest, it means nothing to me and it means nothing to the Feng family. My father is old and the governor is already a military commander. Maybe after this term, I should retire and go home to entertain my grandchildren and take care of myself. As for me, miss, do you think you can help me in any way?"
Feng Ziying tore the veil between the two parties unceremoniously, and her cold and realistic words made Yuan Chun shrink back.
Feng Ziying did not stop and continued: "I really don't understand what you are thinking in the palace, Miss. The situation between you and the concubines Zhou, Wu and Zheng, in fact, many people outside the palace know what the emperor's purpose is. , everyone also understands that the emperor’s body has not allowed him to be close to women for a long time, and including you and the concubines Zhou, Wu and Zheng, it is impossible to have children. So, eldest ladies, you are facing Xu, Su, Mei, Guo Do you guys have any other ideas?"
Jia Yuanchun was shaken by Feng Ziying's cold and straightforward words. He squeezed the deputy of the bench beside him with both hands. His knuckles were white and even deformed due to excessive force. He was angry, frustrated, fearful, desperate and even sad. Emotions linger in the heart.
She has thought about all this, but so what?
What should I do?
Are you just curling up in Fengzao Palace with nothing to do every day, waiting for that day to come?
"So I don't understand. Miss, why are you getting involved in the fight between Xu, Su, Mei, and Guo? What's the point?" Feng Ziying saw Yuanchun's various emotional changes, but she remained unmoved, " People are fighting for their son's future, how about you? If you act as a wing and wave the flag, what will you get in the end? Even if one of the Princes of Fortune and Li succeeds in selecting the heir apparent and is promoted to the throne in the future, is it possible that Concubine Su will become a great treasure in the future? Can I still give you the position of a concubine? Well, even if Concubine Su is kind and considerate and gives you a position of concubine, but with her status as queen mother, she is still a biological mother, how valuable is your concubine? What's the meaning? Besides, given Concubine Su's scheming attitude, she might still use her status as a concubine to make deals with other people. If there are several concubines in the palace, her status as a concubine would be worthless. "
It was really merciless and completely torn apart. Feng Ziying wanted to uncover all this and see what Jia Yuanchun was thinking.
"Or maybe the eldest lady thinks that after betting on this treasure, if the bet is right, she can make a deal with Concubine Su and the new emperor, so that they can take care of the Jia family in the future, so that the Jia family can continue the prosperity and glory of the past few decades? "Feng Ziying said calmly: "If that's the case, I can barely understand your intentions, but I am very disappointed with your ability to judge and analyze, Miss. After several years in the palace, you have made little progress in this area, and are even regressing. .”
Yuan Chun took a few deep breaths before calming down his inner emotions a little, and said with overwhelming anger: "Why am I so incompatible with Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan?"
Hearing what Yuan Chun said, Feng Ziying laughed instead.
Although the words contained sarcasm, it showed that his judgment was basically accurate. Yuanchun did have thoughts in this regard, but it had to be said that he was too naive and childish, and he was destined to be used as cannon fodder.
No wonder the line in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" "The tiger and the tiger meet and return in a great dream" have been interpreted by countless people in many versions, but they all agree that Yuanchun was involved in a palace battle and died tragically, which seems to be true.
At this level, if you still dare to play palace battles with women like Xu Junru, Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinjun, isn't that a life of being used as a scapegoat or cannon fodder in vain?
"Haha, don't be dissatisfied, young lady." At this moment, Feng Ziying felt that this woman still looked like the eldest girl of the Jia family. She was no longer the palace noble concubine bound in the shell of Concubine Xiande. A woman like that is not worth being around.
Jia Yuanchun also slowly calmed down. If Feng Ziying could say such things to him, it meant that he was regarded as someone he could confide in. Otherwise, he might find an excuse and not come here at all.
Jia Yuanchun snorted lightly and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "I would like to hear the details."
"Okay, let me tell you." Feng Ziying was not polite, "The eldest lady seems to want to form an alliance with Concubine Su, but I have to say that this choice is a bit wrong. In my opinion, Prince Fu and Prince Li are probably the best choice. There was no hope. She had neither the righteousness of the eldest son nor the favor of the emperor. Concubine Su was not popular in the palace. Just the marriage between Su Shengdu and Qiu Shiben made the emperor immediately approve the recommendation of King Zhongshun and Lu Song. Guozhong's appointment as the commander of the Shenji Battalion shows that the emperor has no intention of letting King Fu Li Wang choose the heir apparent. You must know that the enemy is the emperor's confidant. Even if there is a slight possibility that the emperor will let Wang Fu Li Wang choose the heir apparent, he should not be so vigilant."
"As I said just now, Qiu Shiben does have some say in the event of an unexpected emergency, but King Zhonghui's appointment as the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp means that Qiu Shiben's role will be weakened. In addition, Qian Guozhong will be appointed as the chief general of the Shenji Camp. Once the general of the Fifth Army Camp is changed, there is a high probability that King Zhonghui will take control of the Fifth Army Camp, so Qiu Shiben's influence will be limited to the minimum." Feng Ziying glanced at Yuan Chun, "Concubine Su Guifei and Qiu Shi'an should have known about these situations. , but it seems that the eldest girl doesn’t know anything about it, which also shows that they don’t take the eldest girl to heart at all, they are just taking advantage of her.”
Jia Yuanchun's face turned pale again, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled slightly.
"Besides, for such a major matter of selecting and establishing a crown prince, the Iron Gate Mountain Autumn Festival is important, but it is impossible to make a final decision, and even if the emperor initially chooses who, it does not mean that the dust has settled. Prince Yohitada should be After twenty years, the crown prince finally fell in love with the loyal and filial king, and today we have the emperor. Doesn’t it prove this? In this case, it is unwise to get on the ship in such a hurry to express your attitude and become a thorn in the side of other families. "
Feng Ziying continued to attack Jia Yuanchun: "Fortunately, the other families have not regarded the eldest daughter as too big of an enemy. Otherwise, I would like to use the methods of Imperial Concubine Xu and Mei Fei to target the eldest daughter and even the Jia family. It’s coming.”
This was another humiliation. Jia Yuanchun's eyes were on fire, but he had to admit that what the other party said was reasonable. With the skills of Xu Junru and Mei Yuexi, it was impossible to ignore the person who really threatened them.
Taking a few deep breaths, Jia Yuanchun calmed down his emotions, "Then based on Ziying's opinion, what should I do now?"
"It depends on what the eldest girl thinks, so I will ask the eldest girl what you really think. If the eldest girl just bets on a certain family, hoping to gain the merit of following the dragon and revive the Jia family, then we We can discuss it in the long term, but if you think you still have some ideas, I can neither understand nor do anything about it."
Feng Ziying's words forced Jia Yuanchun into a corner.
She did have some "unrealistic" ideas as Feng Ziying said. If any one of the Princes of Fu and Li was really blessed, then Su Lingyao would definitely become the Queen Mother, so she might not have a chance to be named the Dowager Princess. , became the second most powerful person in the palace after Su Lingyao. He was already like this and was in jail. Is it wrong to pursue this?
It's just that Feng Ziying's analysis just now made her extremely frustrated. As he said, her thoughts were just a beautiful dream.
It’s almost equivalent to two updates, right? We will continue tomorrow morning, first I ask my brothers to guarantee their monthly tickets.
