Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 415: A glimmer of hope, repaying with one's own body
Unable to contact?!" The beauty was furious, her towering dragon's head bun was casually tied up with a bunch of pretty Zhu Zhan-colored hairband, and then inserted with a flower mother-of-pearl, giving her a bit of softness.
However, under this emotional excitement, the bun of her hair swayed, the beads on her temples trembled, and the slightly whitened and beautiful lips made the woman's face look soft and fragile.
"Empress, as far as I know, Concubine Xiande also stayed overnight at Chongxuan Temple and came back the next day. She should also have gone to see Mr. Feng. I don't know if she saw her, but Concubine Xiande was always there in the past.
We have to stay in Chongxuan Temple for several days. Judging from the situation, we probably won't be able to see it." Zhou Peisheng still had the unhurried attitude, "Now the personnel of the Shangsanqin Army and the Beijing camp are still being adjusted, Master Feng will
He is the surgeon, and he definitely doesn’t have much energy to consider other things at this time.”
"Hmph, he made a good plan and replaced all the imperial guards with his confidants. What is his intention?" The beauty gritted her teeth, "Are you planning to wag your allegiance to Zhang Yi?"
Zhou Peisheng burst into laughter and shook his head repeatedly: "The empress is joking, how is that possible? Firstly, this is the decision of the cabinet, not Mr. Feng's own intention. Secondly, this is probably because the imperial court wants to strengthen the palace defense to prevent leaks of secrets, and Prince Yi Zhong has succeeded him.
Maybe the unification is not what the imperial court wants, and maybe it is just a temporary transition."
"Ah?!" The beauty was filled with surprise and quickly grabbed Zhou Peisheng desperately, "Peisheng, what is the basis for your judgment? Are you saying there is something unexpected going on?"
"Uh, empress..." Zhou Peisheng was a little embarrassed by Empress Tsuen's pull. He coughed dryly. Besides, he was a chamberlain, but he couldn't bear the dignity of Empress Tsuen. Concubine Tsuen also realized this.
She loosened her hand a little, then gave a sweet smile. Bai Mei suddenly said, "You eunuch, what are you so embarrassed about? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Zhou Peisheng was really convinced by this person. He was already tied to the other person and had no chance to turn around, so he tolerated it.
Once Prince Yohitada enters the palace, everyone in the palace will be kicked out.
It is said that the Renshou Palace, Jiefeng Palace, Eruan Palace, Ciqing Palace, Yuanhui Palace in the east, Yinghua Palace, Xian'an Palace, Cining Palace, and Xianruo Palace in the west are all being cleaned and tidied up in preparation for Yi Zhong.
After the prince entered the palace, he made preparations. Everyone, including himself, had to be driven to the cold palaces on the east and west sides to accompany the concubines to their old age and death.
Not only this one, but people like Xu Junru, Su Lingyao, and Mei Yuexi are also the same. Now they are all like headless flies with no master, running around the palace all day long, but what can be done?
This is simply not something that can be resolved within the palace, it is all decided by the imperial cabinet.
"My dear, if you are so spirited, you might as well serve Mr. Feng well in bed and see if you can get some information out of him."
Zhou Peisheng already knew everything about this master, so he didn't have so many taboos. He dusted his arms and said helplessly: "This is what the old slave found out from outside, saying that the imperial court actually does not like Prince Yi Zhong, and at present
"And what?" Guo Qinyun's eyes were clear, and she was obviously very concerned. "And I heard that the court is still arguing about who will succeed Prince Yi Zhong..." Zhou Peisheng said in a dark voice.
"Ah? What does this mean?" Guo Qinjun was confused, "If Zhang Yi succeeds, and he dies in the future, his son will naturally succeed him. Doesn't he have four sons? Who else can succeed him?
Bit..., could you say...?"
At the end of the sentence, Guo Qinjun's voice was trembling, her face was flushed, and her eyes were shining brightly.
"Well, this is what the old slave heard. I don't know whether this is true or not, or whether it is accurate. The imperial court intends to include the emperor's sons as successors. What the old slave understands is that the imperial court is loyal to Yi Zhong.
If the princes and princes are not satisfied, either the court and Prince Yohitada are trying to make ends meet. In the future,
Before Zhou Peisheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Guo Qinjun: "In the future, the emperor's lineage will still be needed to inherit the throne?! But why does the court want Zhang Yi to succeed the throne now?"
"Your Majesty, the imperial court is fighting several wars at the same time. The rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Southwest Bozhou has not been put down. It is said that the rebellion of Guizhou
The Anjiashe family is in trouble, and they have to continue fighting, but I heard that the imperial court has basically won the battle, and it is almost over. Aren't the Jurchens and Chahar people in the north also struggling to invade the border? There is a severe drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
Fortunately, Mr. Feng pacified Shaanxi and won a great victory in Liaodong, and the situation turned around. However, after such troubles, the Treasury of the Imperial Household Department had long been empty, and it was all funded by borrowing money from Haitong Bank.
After coming down, taxes from Jiangnan were never paid, water transportation was cut off, and the imperial court was under great pressure, so it had no choice but to compromise with Nanjing and let Prince Yi Zhong succeed the emperor..."
Of course Guo Qinyun is generally aware of these situations.
To put it bluntly, the imperial court was out of money. Taxes in the south of the Yangtze River were blocked and the grain supply was cut off. Prices of goods were soaring. The imperial court couldn't bear it anymore, so it compromised and agreed with Prince Yi Zhong to succeed him. They were all members of the Zhang family anyway.
It didn't have much impact on the princes of the court, but who made the emperor lose his mind?
"Pei Sheng, where did you get this news? Is it accurate?" Guo Qinyun tried to calm down.
She was already in despair, because the news she received from all sources was that Prince Yohitada's accession to the Grand Unification was a foregone conclusion, and there would be no change. Now, all the people in the palace could only go to the side palace in despair.
For the rest of his life, and whether his son would be poisoned by Prince Yi Zhong and others with a glass of poisonous wine, or die unexpectedly, this was what Guo Qinyun was most worried about.
"Old slave got the news from the Ministry of Rites." Zhou Peisheng did not specify the source of the channel. "It should be more reliable, and the latter is more likely. The imperial court has temporarily compromised with Prince Yi Zhong. Once the southwest and Shanxi issues are resolved,
It has been resolved. Now the situation in Liaodong has been stabilized. The Chahar people cannot afford to cause too much trouble. Maybe the court will no longer be so indifferent to Prince Yi Zhong and Jiangnan. Even if Prince Yi Zhong is temporarily immobilized,
How many years older than the Emperor is Prince Yi Zhong, and how many years can he live? As long as the throne is transferred to the Emperor's lineage again, Prince Gong will be an adult by then, and the chances will be even greater."
Guo Qinjun's face was uncertain, and she said after a long time: "I must understand this news. If it is really what you said, Peisheng, then there is still something big that can be done, and I must see Feng Keng. Everyone said Husband and wife have been grateful for a hundred days, so why would he refuse to acknowledge it when he lifts his pants?"
Zhou Peisheng felt a little weird when he heard such rude and aggressive words coming from the mouth of this beautiful and lovely woman in front of him.
But when I think about it, it seems that all this is nothing when it comes to fighting for the throne.
As long as Prince Gong can ascend the throne and she can take the position of the Empress Dowager, this one, no, it should be these few in the palace. I am afraid that all of them will behave in the same way, otherwise they may all face the possibility of being imprisoned for life. result.
Under such circumstances, why should we care about these "trivial details"? Don't you even take it for granted?
"My Lady, you are not too impatient about this matter. This old slave will find an opportunity to contact Mr. Feng, but he must be the busiest now. After the Supreme Emperor is buried in the past two days, he will probably be a little more leisurely. At that time, It will be much easier to handle." Zhou Peisheng paused and said, "I have already asked Dehai to go out. Let's see if we can find an opportunity to contact Mr. Feng first and make an appointment."
"Pei Sheng, please take the trouble. You also understand that this matter is related to the fate of all of us. If Prince Gong can have a future, he will definitely not treat your uncle and nephew badly. The same goes for me." Guo Qinyun breathed out, " There is only one way to do this in Huashan, and there is no room for turning back. I believe that Xu Junru, Su Lingyao and Mei Yuexi are also what I think now. They will definitely not sit back and watch Zhang Yi succeed to the throne. If they learn that This news will also force the court to try every possible means to expel Zhang Yi as early as possible, and at the worst, it will not allow Zhang Yi's lineage to inherit the throne."
In fact, Guo Qinjun's guess was correct. When news of the negotiations between the imperial court and Nanjing gradually spread, the entire palace was shocked. No one expected such a result. The emperor had not yet breathed his last. Why? But it was Prince Yizhong who came to succeed Datong again? The imperial court actually openly negotiated with Nanjing?
What's wrong with this world? Are we still talking about the ethics of heaven?
Don’t these scholars respect human relations and righteousness the most? Where is the loyalty to the emperor?
However, no matter how loud and noisy it is, it will not help. The turmoil in the palace is just a gust of wind to the court, and public opinion is controlled by the court.
In my hands, newspapers such as "Today's News" also cooperated and started to build momentum. What impact could this turmoil in the palace have?
With the adjustment of the palace ban, even the freedom of several princes has been restricted, and they can no longer enter and leave the palace at will. Prince Lu and Prince Gong are doing well in Qingtan Academy, while Prince Shou, Prince Fu, and Prince Li are even banned by the dragon. The lieutenant is restrained in the palace. If he wants to come in or out, he must report for approval.
Even King Zhongshun came to Feng Ziying and complained that several princes had complained to the clan's mansion, saying that Long Jinwei treated them like prisoners and was unbearable.
"It's unbearable but you have to endure it. Do they want to be assassinated when they go out? Lieutenant Long is doing this for their own good." Feng Ziying said cheerfully: "Has the burial ceremony of the Supreme Emperor ended?"
A complicated look appeared on King Zhongshun's face, "That's it. Next is the filial piety period. I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm going to stay in the mausoleum for a month. The negotiation with the boss should have a result, right?"
"The prince asked me, but I don't know. The court didn't let me get involved in this matter, probably because they were afraid that I would cause trouble." Feng Ziying smiled softly: "Actually, how can I be such a person who doesn't care about the overall situation? Zhu
