Chapter 477 Former Princess Di and Zongzheng join forces
Royal Palace.
There are lanterns and colorful lights everywhere, just like the Chinese New Year, or even more grand, lively and festive than the Chinese New Year.
The emperor returned from the victorious battle, which relieved the eunuchs and maids who were still a little worried, and also made some young masters let go of their high spirits. In this way, when Emperor Qianwen had just finished dealing with the ministers, These young masters also came together, knelt down in front of Emperor Qianwen, and expressed their congratulations.
"Okay, everyone has been working hard and worried while I am not in the palace." Looking at these women who belong to him and the concubines who are responsible for the development of the royal family, Emperor Qianwen also had a smile on his face. , a picture of a good mood.
But when he glanced at Concubine Yuan Huang, there was a coldness in his eyes. This time he was not in the imperial city, and the woman danced with joy. She even issued orders several times to help King Xiang establish his position, which caused chaos in the city. .Although what this woman did was for the sake of her son, and it was considered affectionate, she did not take into account the feelings of the emperor at all. What she did had already aroused his displeasure.
It seems that she also knew that she had done some wrong things before, which would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. The imperial concubine Yuan Huang dressed up very well today, especially she also found another way to let King Xiang find some famous actors in the city, she was still the kind of person who wanted to Actors who could sell their bodies at any time for money learned some deceptive tricks from them, and now they are constantly ogling Emperor Qianwen.
It's just because Emperor Qianwen is not paying attention to her now, or he is still angry in his heart, so he doesn't pay attention to all this.
After finally sending away all the young masters, Emperor Qianwen stretched himself and had dinner under the service of Yan Fu, the chief eunuch. At the same time, he also listened to the other party's report on the recent situation in the city.
Yan Fu has not been idle during this time. He runs from Daliang City to Dingzhou City every day, constantly transporting troops, food, grass and weapons. For example, he brought the two hundred chariots together again and again. Although it is said that In the end, it was of no use, but when they persuaded the Jin army, the two hundred chariots appeared together, which still played a certain deterrent effect.
Because of his mission, Yan Fu had no chance to talk to the emperor. Now that everything had finally settled, he began to report the information he had received to Emperor Qianwen in detail. This also included many courtiers and Some behaviors of powerful people during wartime.
Emperor Qianwen was listening and eating, and his face had long lost the joy he had when he won the battle before. Especially when he heard the news from the front that he was going to make Prince Xiang the crown prince, the prince quickly He had control over important departments such as Daqian Bank and the Ministry of Household Treasury, so that when Yan Fu wanted to adjust grains, he had to ask for his approval, and his face became even more ugly.
Fortunately, the overall situation has been decided now. If the fighting continues, there is such a disaster in the rear. Once the supply of food and grass is not timely and the soldiers can't even fill their stomachs, who knows what will happen?
It’s scary to think about the consequences. “This treacherous son really fails to accomplish anything but fails more than he does.”
Emperor Qianwen couldn't help but said angrily. He was even considering whether to expel Prince Xiang from Daliang City. After all, with such a son by his side, he might be so angry that he might lose a few years of his life. .
Just when Emperor Qianwen was still thinking about how to solve this matter, Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang asked to see her outside the palace. She was wearing a purple robe, which she wore very boldly, revealing her snow-white neck, and walking with a curvy and graceful figure. He entered the palace without waiting for the order.
It was already dark at this time, so everything had to be seen by candlelight. As the old saying goes, looking at a beauty under a lamp will never change your mind.
There is a poem praising it: The beautiful lady is leisurely, picking mulberries on the crossroads. The soft branches are blooming, and the fallen leaves are so graceful.
On the sleeves, you can see the bare hands, and the bright wrists are about to have gold rings. On the head is a gold hairpin, and on the waist is a jade pendant.
Pearls are intertwined with jade bodies, and corals are intertwined with trees. Why are the robes fluttering? The light trains are returned by the wind.
Looking forward to the glory left behind, the long whistle is like an orchid. Travelers use their rest to drive, and those who rest forget to eat.
In the haze, half-covered and half-exposed, Emperor Qianwen had forgotten the delicious food in front of him. In the past few months, he had been on the front line of Dingzhou, but there had been no one to sleep with him. As a normal man, he had long since There is fire in the body that cannot be extinguished.
The appearance of Concubine Yuan Gui solved his physical problem. Without saying a word, she waved her hands vigorously, and Yan Fu and others retreated in recognition of the situation. Then, there was a burst of melancholy sounds in the palace. ..
When Emperor Qianwen was enjoying himself, Zongzheng finally saw the beauty of the former Princess Di in the safest study room in Zongzheng's mansion.
Although due to the regulations at that time, women were very particular about not showing their skin to outsiders before getting married. Even after getting married, some people were very conservative and did not show their faces in front of others. The former Princess Di also wore a white gauze on her face to cover her face. Although she has a peerless appearance, Zong Zheng can still feel the beauty and extraordinaryness of Princess Di just from her movements.
"Hey, when Brother Wei was alive, I had dealings with him. He was really a hero and mighty. It's just a pity that the former prince and now the emperor wanted to make others more powerful, so they chose to attack Xiang Di. , so that the mountains and rivers changed color, the lives were devastated, and brother Di Wang Kai shed blood on the battlefield because of this, people can't help but sigh with regret." Zong Zheng looked like he was recalling the past and the present, sighing like a hero. In fact, he and the former Di Wang were just general. We only met each other a few times, and they were from different standpoints, so there was no talk of friendship at all.
Zong Zheng said this just because he wanted to establish friendship with the former Princess Di and bring the two parties closer to each other.
How could the former Princess Di not know that this was also the result she wanted? So she did not try to expose it, but bowed her head and said to Zong Zheng: "Father, I know what I know, and I can smile with a smile when I receive such a comment from Zong Zheng. "
"Hey, eldest niece, get up quickly. Regardless of our status, we only talk about friendship. From now on, I will call you Qian'er, and you can also call me Uncle He." In order to further strengthen the cooperative relationship with the former Princess Di, Zong Zheng once again said as if he was taking the initiative to show his kindness.
Although the former Princess Di was only a woman, a young woman in her late teens and early twenties, her skills were so strong that no one dared to underestimate her. If you don’t believe it, just look at what the Jin army is being tortured into now. , there used to be a rich land of four states, but now only Jinzhou is left. Isn’t this result enough to make people alert?
How could a woman with such means be described as weak, and how could she dare to be looked down upon?
"No, Qian'er has met Uncle He." The former Princess Di also said as if following a stick to a snake.
"Haha, okay, okay." Zong Zheng pretended to be very happy and said. In a short period of time, the relationship between the two seemed to have taken a big step closer.
The conversation then became less thoughtful. After quickly getting down to business and talking about the situation in Daqian, Zongzheng politely asked Princess Di what she thought, and also asked her in a different way if she had any ideas. And in the end The most important thing is to ask how the previous promises will be fulfilled.
Shen Tuwei had been here once before and had a long conversation with Zong Zheng. The discussion focused on only one core, and that was how to help Zong Zheng's son become the prince.
This matter is like a fantasy, and people can't help but wonder if Shentu Wei made a mistake. How could Zongzheng's son become the prince? But then Shentu Wei explained that this proposal came from the former Princess Di. The master will come to explain everything in person later.
This led to the secret discussion in front of him. Before this, Zongzheng was already very excited. Compared with the previous decision to support King Xiang's ascension, the other party supported himself as the vassal king. Obviously, the former Princess Di's ideas and thoughts were more A little bolder. And if his son can really become the prince, it will be far more exciting than getting the position of a vassal king, right?
Princess Qian Di naturally knew Zong Zheng's thoughts and understood the other party's anxious state of mind. She knew even better that many times things need to be done with enthusiasm, and now was the right time, so she revealed her thoughts and plans.
Zong Zheng listened quietly at first, nodding in agreement from time to time, until finally his eyes began to shine, and he slowly approved Princess Qian Di's plan. Although this plan was too ambitious and complicated, he thought When I think about it, the position of prince is so important, so what does it mean to make more preparations?
He had generally agreed with Princess Di's plan in his heart. After she finished speaking, Zong Zheng asked: "According to Qian'er's wishes, what we have to do now is to first keep the position of King Xiang and make him the target of everyone's attack. Everyone’s attention is focused on taking care of Duke Zhongguo, right? But this person is just a duke, does it hinder our plan? "
It is normal for Zong Zheng to have doubts. He is very optimistic about Shen Ao in his heart and feels that this person has some means to control the country's economy. If he can use it for himself, he can be regarded as a helper. Now the former Princess Di actually said that she would deal with him. Questions will naturally arise.
"Haha, Uncle He, it seems that you are also optimistic about this loyal Duke. But it is precisely because of this that this person must be eliminated. Think about it, isn't it because of this talent that the emperor has made Daqian's economy prosperous? With this person here, the country's strength will be intact, and it will create multiple obstacles to our future plans." Princess Di saw Zong Zheng's thoughts and explained.
This time, Princess Qian Di did not contact any of the vassal kings. She targeted the Daqian Empire in order to cause civil strife in them, so as to achieve the goal of fishing in troubled waters and regaining Qian Di. If Daqian is not in chaos, the purpose And how to achieve it?
