When Wang Zhi heard this, although she knew that the imperial concubine had not finished her words, she already understood the meaning. The concubine's words were clearly intended to be entrusted with matters behind her, and more specifically, about the future of the Wan family.
Although Wang Zhi was close to Concubine Wan and regarded Concubine Wan as her elder, she despised the vulgar Wan family from the bottom of her heart. However, she still knew something about the Wan family.
The Wan family started from a humble beginning, but it was all because of the Empress Wan that they suddenly rose to prominence. Among the three brothers of the Imperial Concubine, Wan Tong, the second oldest, had a bad moral character, but at least he still had some ability. He was able to support the family, and he almost succeeded in getting involved in the Jin Yiwei.
But he "died young" four years ago.
As for the eldest brother Wanxi, he is already old and is just waiting to die with nothing but wine and food. The third brother Wanda is even more unsatisfactory. He often hangs out in the market and acts as the leader of villains and rogues, so he cannot be on the stage at all.
The Wan family was in such a good situation. It was fine when Concubine Wan Gui was alive. But once Concubine Wan Gui passed away and the Wan family encountered any dangerous situation, they would have almost no ability to protect themselves.
Eunuch Wang knew very well what Concubine Wan Gui was worried about. From the perspective of friendship, she had no reason to refuse. A person must have a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. He agreed: "I understand what Concubine Wan Guifei means. I have received great kindness from you, but I can't repay you in return."
, I should do my best. But if I encounter any shortcomings in my ability, I hope your Majesty will forgive you."
Seeing Wang Zhi's eagerness to agree, Concubine Wan Gui felt a little relieved and said: "Good boy, in today's world, your filial piety is really rare. But I won't make it difficult for you. I want you to say yes to Fang."
The thing passed down a message and asked Fang Yingwu to fulfill this trust."
Does this have anything to do with Fang Yingwu's half a penny? Wang Zhi couldn't wrap his mind around it for a while, and said in shock: "What do you mean by the empress? I really don't understand."
Concubine Wan Gui explained: "Wan An hates Wan Jia to death and will definitely use all means to retaliate. I can promise to protect him to the best of my ability. But he promises to protect Wan Jia in the future and does not seek to go further. At least he must keep this job."
Wealth."
Wang Zhi didn't understand what Concubine Wan Gui was thinking, so she asked, "Does the empress think too highly of Fang Yingwu? How can he have such ability? Besides, he has no kindness to the empress, so even if he agrees, he may not be reliable in the future.
"
Concubine Wan Gui didn't care about Wang Zhi's doubts, "In this matter, Fang Yingwu is more capable than you. If you really don't have me, it would be great if you can protect yourself. How much spare power do you have to protect others?"
Although Fang Yingwu is young, a group of forces has gathered around him. This force may not be very powerful now, but it will definitely occupy the temple after the earth is turned upside down, and Fang Yingwu serves as the eye of the formation.
Core role.
As for whether Fang Yingwu can be relied on and whether it is appropriate, don't you still have to do it? You are supervising and monitoring him, so he will always take care of you more or less? "
Wang Zhi had to admit that the imperial concubine still had some political vision. It was rare for a woman in the palace to be able to see Fang Yingwu's status and weight from the chaotic political situation.
These people in Fang Yingwu's circle. In terms of age, the older ones include Liu Mianmian, Wang Shu, Li Yu and others, the Mesozoic generation includes Fang Qingzhi, Tu Yu, Li Dongyang and others, and the younger generation includes Xiang Chengxian, Yang Tinghe and Fang Ying.
The people themselves, the old, middle and young people are combined, and there are those in power and those with potential. Taken together, the power is quite impressive.
At present, the most promising group of people recognized by court officials is the successor party headed by Xu Pu, Qiu Jun, and Liu Jian. The so-called successor party refers to some Hanlinfang Bureau bachelors who are senior enough to be candidates for the cabinet in accordance with the rules and are of the same age.
After Wan An, Liu Mianhua and the others, the successor party will probably take over.
And if the people in Fang Yingwu's circle form a group with Fang Yingwu as a link, even if it is a very loose group, they can compete with the successor party. At least it will not be a big problem to become the largest opposition.
But to tell the truth. Wang Zhi doesn't want to involve Fang Yingwu in this matter, she can just bear it by herself. She, Wang Zhi, has received the favor from the imperial concubine and must repay it, even if she is burdened by the burden of protecting the Wan family.
.
But for Fang Yingwu, protecting the Wan family seems to have only disadvantages and no advantages. Fang Yingwu's management has been well planned so far, and it seems that he can just follow the general trend and wait for a turnaround, and he doesn't need to get any benefits from the imperial concubine.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhi vaguely realized that the imperial concubine seemed to be using herself to put pressure on Fang Yingwu, so that Fang Yingwu had to agree due to her own feelings. At the same time, she was using herself as a monitor to avoid
Fang Yingwu paid lip service but did not live up to his words. Wang Zhi imagined again, if she really came forward to request Fang Yingwu, Fang Yingwu would still sell his face...
Finally, Concubine Wan Gui lay down under the shade of a tree and fell asleep. Wang Zhi left Da Nei with a lot of thoughts, and then came to Lady He's Restaurant. Fang Yingwu had been waiting here for the results, and when he saw Wang Zhi, he asked.
Wang Zhi naturally talked a lot, from meeting the imperial concubine to talking about the variable of Mrs. Wang, and finally conveyed the imperial concubine's words to Fang Yingwu exactly. She didn't bother with this and let Fang Yingwu think about it by himself!
Fang Yingwu sighed: "Wan Niangniang has no advantage at all in terms of beauty and age, but she has been able to dominate the inner palace for twenty years. If she is extraordinary, her scheming can be considered profound."
Wang Zhi said displeased: "I just want to use you for my family, why do you have to be so evil?"
Fang Yingwu shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. I suddenly feel that Wan Niangniang may have deliberately allowed you and me to interact with each other for such a long time, and did not hold you responsible for colluding with me, just for today's plan.
On the one hand, she pushed for the establishment of a new crown prince, but on the other hand, she kept the secret line between you and me. She was really prepared for both. It's funny that you and I are in the same group, but we didn't see this."
Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and had to admit that what Fang Yingwu said made sense. Why didn't she think of it just now? "Why is this so important? Even if she is gone, how many people in the Wan family will be in danger if they are rich and powerful?
Is Wan Niangniang’s worries unfounded?”
Fang Yingwu replied: "You didn't even think of this? The more powerful a person is, the more enemies he makes. I won't mention anything else. I just say that in the harem, the Empress Dowager Zhou hates Wan Niangniang, and the royal relatives on the Empress Dowager Zhou's side will
Easily spare Wanjia?
Concubine Wan Gui has suppressed the Queen for many years, making the Queen almost a widow. How can the Queen’s family not complain? Sooner or later, the Crown Prince will get married, and a new generation of royal relatives will appear on the Crown Princess’ side. According to the Crown Prince’s response to Wan’s wife
With our relationship, there is no guarantee that these relatives of the new emperor will not cause trouble for the Wan family."
"This is nothing, just tell me whether you will accept it or not!" Wang Zhi asked with his head as big as a bucket.
Fang Yingwu frowned and said: "It's hard to say. Let's take it one step at a time. You can't avoid it based on your face. But we still have to look at what's happening over there at Wan'an. If I really can't withstand Wan'an's revenge, Wan'an will take revenge." Your Majesty’s request may not be a kind of insurance.” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
