Chapter 93: Sadness

 In fact, since Wang Zhen became more powerful, his relatives and eunuchs have become very arrogant and domineering. The Queen Mother Sun is not familiar with Cao Jixiang, but I think it is almost the same.

Such a person would definitely not be welcomed by a scholar like Cheng Jing.

However, Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. If Cheng Jing is a profit-seeking person, it will be difficult for him to speak. Only with his temperament can he be useful."

Seeing that Jin Ying was still confused, Empress Dowager Sun explained: "Now King Xin has made it clear that he wants to take the opportunity to clean up the eunuchs. If Cheng Jing is a profit-seeking person who is bent on flattery, he will definitely act according to King Xin's wishes. How can he dare to harmonize with Wang Zhen?"

Can you speak to the implicated Cao Jixiang?"

"The Ai family asked Cao Jixiang to come over not because they wanted him to please Cheng Jing, but because they wanted Cheng Jing to know that there is such a person."

"King Yin has been outside the palace for many years and suddenly ascended to the throne. He doesn't have many available manpower. Especially there are no confidants who are familiar with military affairs and can go out to supervise the army..."

Jin Ying suddenly realized, and continued: "So, Holy Mother, you asked Cao Jixiang to take the path of Chengjing, so that in the future, when King Tan needs to send someone out to supervise the army, but there is no one available, they can come in handy.

"

Empress Dowager Sun nodded and said: "Yes, according to what you said, Na Cheng Jing is high-minded and self-possessed, and will not delay important events because of his own likes and dislikes. Since he is loyal to King Xi, he will definitely make plans for him. When the time comes, even if he doesn't like Cao Cao in his heart

He has an auspicious habit, but as long as it can be useful to King Tan, he will still say good things."

After thinking through this section, Jin Ying suddenly felt that the Queen Mother's move was very clever.

Everything is very reasonable, so reasonable that no one can see anything strange.

King Yin wanted to liquidate Wang Zhen's party. As Wang Zhen's disciple, Cao Jixiang sought Cheng Jing's way to protect himself, so that no one would be suspicious at all.

Although Cheng Jing had no friendship with Cao Jixiang, he was loyal to King Yi. King Yi had no one at his disposal, so he would definitely think of Cao Jixiang.

Out of his trust in Cheng Jing, King Tan probably would not have any doubts about Cao Jixiang.

From the beginning to the end, the Queen Mother was not involved, but she secretly drove a deep nail. This method can be said to be extremely clever.

Seeing the admiration on Jin Ying's face, Queen Mother Sun nodded and continued: "That's how the matter will be handled. However, you have to do it carefully when it comes to impeachment in the outer court. Again, no matter how serious it is, say it the more troublesome it is.

The bigger the better, only in this way can Cao Jixiang know who is helping him, and the Ai family doesn't want to go to all the trouble and end up raising a white-eyed wolf."

Jin Ying prostrated himself on the ground and said: "Don't worry, Madam. When Cao Jixiang returns to Beijing, the ministers will ask him to come to the palace to see him. He has done a lot of mischief outside. Even if you don't need King Tao, it will be easy for you to control him."

Very.”

Empress Dowager Sun felt relieved now. Having said that, she wasn't too worried about this matter at first.

After all, these eunuchs are all royal slaves. She is the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty. If Cao Jixiang dares to have any small thoughts, it will be easy to deal with him.

After dealing with the arrangements regarding the eunuchs, Empress Dowager Sun relaxed slightly and continued to ask.

"What's going on with the queen and concubine these past two days?"

Mentioning her two daughters-in-law really made Empress Dowager Sun very angry.

Before the emperor went to war, the two of them were his favorites. But when something happened, one was crying and at a loss, and the other was even more outrageous. Not only was his son made the prince, he didn't even know who he was.

Empress Dowager Sun became angry when she remembered what happened on the day of the imperial meeting.

If these two idiots hadn't interfered with each other, the Wu family would have been thrown into the cold palace long ago, and she might have spared Princess Tan.

When the time comes, she has these two good cards in her hand, why should she be so worried?

Jin Ying replied: "The Queen has sent people one after another to send a lot of winter clothes and equipment to the Emperor. There is not much else. Even the Queen herself is still crying every day. The imperial doctor said, if she keeps doing this

If you go down, I'm afraid your eyes will be damaged."

After thinking about it, Jin Ying secretly looked at Queen Mother Sun's face and said cautiously: "The minister is thinking that if the Holy Mother is serious, she might as well advise the Queen Mother. It is not an option if she continues like this."

Queen Mother Sun had a headache. Why didn't she want to persuade her?

But the problem is, trying to persuade her is of no use. Instead, it makes her very angry.

It’s not that Empress Dowager Sun didn’t know that her daughter-in-law, Empress Qian, was worried about the emperor, so she was frowning every day.

But she herself has a stubborn temper, and the most embarrassing thing is that she sheds tears easily.

So when I see Empress Qian every time, I feel a little angry before she even speaks, but in the end I always end up scolding her.

After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Sun sighed and said: "You also know the Queen's temperament. The root of this matter is still with the Emperor. If the Emperor cannot come back, it will be useless for anyone to persuade her. Instruct the Imperial Hospital to do more.

Go to Kunning Palace to ask for some Ping'an pulse. If you need any precious medicinal materials and supplements, don't be stingy."

Jin Ying nodded and said yes, and Queen Mother Sun asked again: "How is the imperial concubine doing?"

Speaking of the imperial concubine Zhou, Empress Dowager Sun actually looked down upon her. This woman was too ignorant to advance or retreat. She relied on her good luck to give birth to the emperor's eldest son. She was arrogant and domineering in the palace.

This means that Queen Qian has a gentle temper. If she had been in charge of the Sixth Palace, she would have set some rules for her.

Jin Yingdao: "The imperial concubine is living peacefully these days. It is said that the incident a few days ago scared the prince, so the imperial concubine refuses to leave the Changchun Palace these days. She has been taking care of her personally and doing everything herself.

I’m afraid something will happen again.”

Empress Dowager Sun's face became a little better. In any case, Mrs. Zhou still did her best for her son. This was one of the reasons why Empress Dowager Sun had always indulged her.

but……

"Mother and son, Queen Tao, I'm afraid they're going to have a lot of trouble in the palace these days. The Ai family is worried about the prince being placed in the Changchun Palace. You can go and take the prince to Cining Palace tomorrow and stay with the Ai family for a while."

After thinking for a while, Queen Mother Sun finally spoke.

Although she was confident that King Tao would not dare to cause trouble at this time, she was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, so she had to put people under her nose to feel at ease.

Jin Ying took the order and saw that the Queen Mother Sun had no other instructions, so she took a look and left.

After the people left, Queen Mother Sun relaxed her tense body and leaned on the soft couch behind her, closing her eyes and thinking about her thoughts.

Today's planning was indeed very laborious, but fortunately, everything went smoothly.

After a while, Queen Mother Sun stood up and walked out of the palace door. The autumn wind was blowing coldly, and the weather outside was gloomy and cloudy. It looked like it was going to rain.

The leaves in the yard were already withered and yellow, and they were swirling feebly in the wind.

Empress Dowager Sun stood like this. After an unknown period of time, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky, lightning flashed, and the pattering autumn rain fell, wetting the bluestone slab under the steps.

Looking past the high walls, Empress Dowager Sun looked toward the far north. Through the pitter-pattering curtain of water, she could see nothing clearly, only the mist rising.

Son, the weather is getting cold and you are alone outside. How are you?
