Chapter 44: The Human Design Cannot Be Collapsed!
When Yun Fenghuang hurried to Yi Xingen's courtyard, the situation had calmed down a little—meaning that the big commotion had subsided. The emperor with an expressionless face knew that it was not over yet.
"Your Majesty." Yun Fenghuang stepped forward to salute, quickly looked around, did not find Yi Xingen's figure, and was about to insinuate what happened, when the emperor waved her to get up, then pointed to the inner room, briefly Said: "Aifei go in and have a look."
His tone was cold and hard, sullen and hidden, and it seemed that he was really angry.
This surprised Yun Fenghuang, because in her impression, this master is not a person who likes to show his emotions. What kind of accident can he be so angry that he can't pretend at night?
"The concubine complies with the order." Bowing his head to bless him, Yun Fenghuang walked into the inner room.
Before entering the door, she felt that she had already made psychological preparations. For example, she saw Yi Xingen lying in the tent with a stranger in disheveled clothes, but she didn't expect to turn the screen, and the first thing she saw was... Ji Mu purple? !
Even though Yun Fenghuang boasted that he was not surprised, he couldn't help being stunned: "Why are you here?! Where's Yi Fengyi?"
Probably because of the lights, Ji Muzi's complexion is not as bleak as it was during the day, her cheeks are flushed, her lips are beautiful, but there is no sadness or joy in her eyes, and she is tightly wrapped in a light pink satin brocade quilt Hearing the words, he raised his chin towards the back of the tent, and said lightly: "The concubine knocked people out and threw them away."
Yun Fenghuang: "..."
She calmed down and didn't go over to look at it. She just exited the inner room and knelt down in front of the emperor, "I have nothing to do with you, Your Majesty please punish me!"
The emperor held a cup of hot tea in his hand, but he didn't drink it, he just fiddled with it casually, after a long while, he put the tea bowl on the table, and Fang glanced sideways at his own Jieyu.
Yun Fenghuang's attitude was very upright at the moment, kneeling in a humble posture, with his head drooping slightly, the hastily thrown bun fell loosely on the back of his head, and the long hairpin with a red gold phoenix in its bead was glowing cold and tender under the candlelight. The luxurious brilliance, together with the gold folded silk bead earrings beside her ears, made her eyebrows look like black ink, and her skin was more radiant than snow.
"..." The emperor stared at her, and the atmosphere in the room, which was not originally relaxed, became more and more tense, like a bow, stretched to the extreme, just when the timid palace servants could no longer bear the pressure and were on the verge of falling, the emperor finally spoke, Seemingly restraining her anger, she asked calmly, "How does Aifei plan to deal with it?"
Yun Fenghuang was not sure what he was thinking, so he thought about his words before saying: "I have not been in the palace for a long time, and I have never encountered such a thing. Your Majesty wants me to deal with it on the spot. I am afraid that I don't have such quick wit. Just thinking, maybe something is wrong with Concubine Ji and the people around Yi Fengyi? Also, since Yi Fengyi is still in the room, should I move it out for the imperial physician to see?"
After saying this, he held his breath and stood with his hands down, waiting for the emperor's reaction.
The emperor sneered: "It's just the people around them? The people around them are just slaves. They don't have the masters to make up their minds. Where do they have the courage to do anything wrong?!"
Without waiting for Yun Fenghuang to answer, he raised his voice again, and said sharply, "Tonight, you can pretend to be Yi Fengyi and plot against me with ecstasy and beauties, and tomorrow you can also greet me with poisonous daggers?! Before Ji Ting photo On the Chunti Lake, he ordered his servants to dive into the lake by crossing the water, dragged me into the water, and said that it was an accident, that there was no malice in making a joke—how could Jieyu still defend Ji, and make me believe in Ji? The palace concubine also did it unintentionally, and came here to make fun of me with Yi Fengyi!?"
"... I don't dare." Yun Fenghuang almost wanted to vomit blood, what kind of pig teammate is this!
Not to mention the grievance between the emperor and the Ji family, which cannot be exposed by Ji Muzi's initiative to invite favors and flattery, not to mention that Ji Minggan was imprisoned in front of him. To add insult to injury, she actually rushed to do something to make the maid in the bedroom faint and take Cheng Huan's place...
Is it because Ji Muzi doesn't have a good brain, or did she get dizzy and make such a bad plan? !
Forget it, no matter what the master thinks, the matter has already been done, and the starting point is not important——Yun Fenghuang faced the emperor's cold and sharp eyes, and said bravely, "Your Majesty, the concubine and concubine Ji They are all concubines in the palace, and they are all your people. Even though they are usually a little cautious, there are some people who want to fight for power and be jealous. If you want to murder His Majesty, it is impossible to borrow a hundred thousand courage from my concubine! The concubine should just be jealous of Yi Fengyi, and she's lost her mind fighting for favor!"
She knew that these words could not convince the emperor, because the emperor personally proposed that the main responsibility lies with the master rather than the slaves, and obviously rejected Yun Fenghuang's proposal to turn a big problem into a small one and pull a few slaves out to top the vat.
How could it be possible to agree to set the nature of the matter at this moment as a fight between concubines?
So seeing the emperor frowning, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have a few words, please allow me to answer them alone!"
"...all go down." The emperor narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, looked at her for a while, and ordered lightly.
There was a silent sigh of relief immediately behind him.
Yun Fenghuang said again: "Also serve Ji Bin and Yi Fengyi to go to other rooms to wait for orders."
Seeing that the emperor did not object, a few smart palace men hurried into the inner room, and soon carried the two palace concubines to the next door.
There were only two imperial concubines left in the room, and the emperor's expression relaxed a bit: "Can I talk about my concubine?"
"Your Majesty, the bones of Mrs. Ye are not cold, and the Empress Dowager is still ill." Yun Fenghuang clenched her veil tightly, lowered her head, and said softly, "At this moment, even though Mrs. Ji has neglected to raise her children well, As the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty should be tolerant, after all, everyone in the world knows that it was the Ji family who strongly advocated to welcome His Majesty to Fuyang!"
When she said these words, her tone was calm, but her heart was pounding.
After hearing this, the Emperor Suo Xing didn't intend to get angry, he just asked indifferently: "Ai Fei is saying that I will tolerate the Ji family for the rest of my life, even if they are rebellious and aggressive?"
"Of course not!" Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that even if the emperor was actually angry at the moment and didn't explode immediately, it can be seen that he is still willing to listen, so there is a chance, "The Ji family didn't welcome His Majesty back then, not purely for His Majesty. Considering it, this is the first; second, the Ji family has been arrogant and domineering these years, even with ulterior motives, murdered the emperor's heir, and disrespected His Majesty a lot, and originally exhausted the credit for Yingli... But, the Ji family is the Ji family , Your Majesty is Your Majesty, how can you be compared with your Majesty, a mere courtier of the Ji family?"
The emperor looked at her: "Speak!"
Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at him: "I am bold, I would like to ask Your Majesty: Your Majesty is in his prime, wise and powerful, do you only want to be a ruler of success, or follow the example of His Majesty the Emperor Taizu, and calm the world, To clarify Yunei, to be the master of a generation of ZTE?"
"A mere Jieyu, the tone is not small." Chunjia stared at her, and said with a smile, "This kind of words... can you say it?"
Yun Fenghuang said: "A concubine who is in her position seeks to govern her, and as a concubine, her life and death depend on her majesty's honor and disgrace. Isn't it natural to seek for your majesty?"
The emperor said: "You have a reason for everything you do... All right, don't imitate the counselor's lobbying words, let's get straight to the point."
"The Ji family can be unfaithful and unrighteous, but your Majesty must miss the old love." Yun Fenghuang said softly, "Because the Ji family is as old as yesterday, but your majesty is like the rising sun, and the future will be brighter!"
So let me indulge the Ji family again, so that I can show my broad mind and benevolent character, so as to convince the government and the opposition?
The emperor smiled silently: "I heard that the ancients once said that the barbarians fear power and disregard morality. Looking at today's temples, it is nothing more than that."
"People's hearts are shattered (qie), and they have been like this since ancient times." Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "However, if given a choice, who would let the magnanimous Mingjun not defect to him, but work under the hands of a mean and ungrateful person?"
Seeing the emperor groaning silently.
She clenched her hand tightly and then loosened it, repeating this twice, and finally summoned up the courage to say, "Emperor Xiaozong is childless, but the relatives and nobles in the side branches are not just the regent's line and His Majesty. The Ji family is ambitious and cautious. Suspicious, the Prince Regent's son was less than ten years old, and they still didn't believe it, but finally chose His Majesty... Isn't it?"
Please think about how you came to power back then?
Isn't it because the Queen Mother Yuan set you up as a gentle, filial, kind, and kind person from birth in order to let you inherit the king's title as a concubine?
The more people who read more, the more people believe in it, and Ji also believed it, thinking that you are easy to control, and it is not easy to betray. The most important thing is that even if you betray, you will not be cruel because of reasons such as kindness and softness. That's why I decided to help you ascend the throne?
If you are chasing and beating Mrs. Ji right now, even if Mrs. Ji has just passed away and the old mistress - Mrs. Ye Guogong was assassinated in the palace - Empress Dowager Ji is still ill, With Ji's misbehavior, can you not let people discuss that this is insulting the Empress Dowager to Ji's downfall? !
Not to mention whether the Ji family has been in power for many years, even if they were stunned if they didn't check for a while, whether they still have the ability to turn things around, let's just say that the Ji family is not the only one blocking the emperor's power in this temple.
You are now destroying the character set that has been established for many years. Can other people, including the regent who is cooperating with you, not feel sad?
The emperor had been in power for only a few months, and he hadn't done much to confuse the Ji family. Even if he had accumulated some strength, judging from the fact that he needed to kill Ye's wife himself, it would be very shabby and impossible. This time, the Ji family can be controlled smoothly, and the regent definitely has made great efforts.
But, but, the regent's willingness to do this is not to make the emperor Yuji Yunei, but has his own plan. To take a step back, even if the regent suddenly wants to get away, he doesn't want to fight with the emperor, but wants to shine for the future of the Gongxiang family, he is a half-step emperor's younger brother!
Can you not worry that the emperor will turn over the old account after he takes power, or just send his whole family to see Xiaozong for the sake of safety?
In short, when you have an absolute advantage, or when you have nothing, it's okay to show a ferocious and cold side. There is no need to worry about the former, and the latter is just a desperate fight.
For example, when Yun Fenghuang persecuted Xijing, there was nothing taboo, because Xijing's status and methods were too different from hers, so much that even if Xijing suspected that her status was unstable, she would not be able to resist.
But at this moment, the emperor has the advantage, but only Xiao He is showing his sharp edge; he has the chips, but the victory or defeat is still unclear. With fear, maybe we should deal with him first with the same enemy?
When Yun Fenghuang frightened Yuan Niangniang before, he said that although the emperor does not have a son, the clan does!
Back then, Xiaozong could adopt Chunjia as his heir, so why not do it again and give Chunjia a young heir?
In short, the most beneficial choice for the emperor today is to continue to maintain a gentle and soft-hearted image-although the speed of seizing power may slow down in this way, it is not easy to attract consistent targets when the position is not yet stable, and it will give the opponent a chance. When dealing with other people in the future, those people will not resist desperately, implicate the masses, and deplete the country...
Of course, doing so is excellent for the overall situation, but it is not enjoyable enough for the emperor himself and those who have accompanied the emperor to endure humiliation over the years.
If this was Yuan Lian's aunt and nephew, even if Yun Fenghuang thought so, she would never say it.
After all, that Yue Jieyu's sex...
But Emperor Chunjia, Yun Fenghuang still has a little confidence in him, because just yesterday, this person was still performing conscientiously.
"...Being born as a woman, I really wronged my concubine." She finished speaking in one breath, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and stood there holding her breath.
After a while, the emperor sighed and said, "Since that's the case, how do you think I should deal with this matter?"
