Donggong Zhangjiao

Yichun Palace.

Wan Liangyuan also got news here.

Compared to Concubine Yang's excitement, she remained silent for a long time.

Yuetao stood aside and said, "Liangyuan, if the emperor is really serious about sending your Excellency to the Northern Xinjiang Military Camp, he must want to reuse our Excellency. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious service and become famous."

"Okay?"

Wan Liangyuan raised her eyes and asked, as if she was asking herself.

"My brother is now the commander of the third-grade Kyoto Guard. He is in charge of important matters in the defense of the capital. To be able to get this position is to be trusted by the emperor. If you go to the military camp, you will indeed have the opportunity to make meritorious services, but you may also die on the battlefield. Yuetao, we The mainstay of our family is now my brother. Without my brother, our family may be doomed."

Speaking of this, Yuetao was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, unlike the Nanning Marquis, the Hu family has a shallow foundation.

Wan Liangyuan's father was just a low-ranking official. It was in the hands of her brother Hu Daixu that the Hu family was run.

The Marquis of Nanning has been a noble family for several generations. Although Yang Chengyu, the eldest son, is gone, the Marquis of Nanning can still hold on to the lintel.

Taking a step back, Marquis Nanning still has other sons, and he can establish another heir apparent to continue the inheritance.

Therefore, for the Nanning Marquis Mansion, Yang Chengyu's death in battle only meant the loss of an outstanding son, while if Hu Daixu died, the entire Hu family would be ruined.

"But if the emperor doesn't let my brother go, could it be because of what happened before?" Wan Liangyuan frowned, "If that's the reason, then if my brother can't make meritorious deeds, will he become even more alienated by the emperor. "

Seeing that Wan Liangyuan was thinking hard and had difficulty making a decision, Yuetao pursed her lips and whispered.

"Instead of Liangyuan fantasizing here, it's better to ask the Lord what he wants. Liangyuan can't make the decision for the Lord."

Yuetao said this, Wan Liangyuan lowered her eyes for a moment, and then nodded.

Zijin Hall.

Fang Yun went to Yuzhang Palace to ask about the situation of the second princess. He just came back now and looked gloomy.

Yuan He stood guard at the entrance of the palace, and when he saw her, he quickly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, there has been movement in Zhongcui Palace and Yichun Palace. It seems they have sent letters outside the palace."

Hearing this, Fang Yun stopped, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said.

"Let's keep an eye on it first."

"Yes."

Yuan He nodded and stepped aside.

After entering the house, Yanwei closed the door and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty tried to spread the news because she wanted the Yang family and the Hu family to make peace with each other, right?"

"I do have this intention."

Fang Yun picked up the tea cup handed by Qing Rong and took a sip.

At this moment, Qingrong said softly.

"But I'm worried that the Hu family won't be able to win over the Yang family. When Concubine Yang's brother goes to the military camp and makes contributions, Concubine Yang's position in the palace will be more stable."

"Of course I know that the Yang family is a noble family, and the foundation is not comparable to that of the Hu family."

Fang Yun said calmly, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

"But you should also remember that during this year's Lantern Festival family banquet, Concubine Yang wanted to recommend her brother to the Northern Xinjiang military camp. What was the emperor's attitude?"

"The Emperor didn't agree." Qingrong said immediately, and then thought, "So the Emperor doesn't care about the Yang family in his heart, and would rather want the Hu family to go?"

Yanwei's eyes moved, "But the Yang family is very ambitious and eager to make meritorious deeds. They really want to do it. Then they will definitely suppress the Hu family to achieve their goals. How about the Emperor?"

"From the emperor's point of view, it is the Yang family who is competing with him, rather than just suppressing the Hu family." Fang Yun raised his chin slightly and raised his eyebrows lightly.When she said this, the two maids immediately understood.

If Hu Dai is chosen as the candidate for returning to Northern Xinjiang this time, then Concubine Yang will definitely become enemies with Wan Liangyuan. If the two families cannot be reconciled, they will be completely broken up and separated, and they will not form an alliance again.

What the Hu family will think if Yang Chengyu is decided is currently unknown, but Pei Yao will definitely be more wary of the Yang family.

Under such circumstances, the more merit Yang Chengyu has, the more he will be suspected of overshadowing his master. In addition, Concubine Yang's ambition in the harem has long been seen through by Pei Yao, which will be a talisman for the Yang family.

Of course, Pei Yao is not the kind of emperor who would cook a cunning rabbit to death.

As long as the Yang family remains peaceful, abides by the rules, knows the general principles, and does not have delusions after making meritorious deeds, they will definitely have a good future.

But looking at the current performance of the Yang family, they are not peaceful people at all.

Why does Concubine Yang want to be the queen, and why does she want to give birth to a healthy prince?

This is so that the new king of the Qi Dynasty in the future can have half the blood of her Yang family!
Pei Yao is an independent person, or in other words, most emperors are like this.

If I give it to you, you can continue. If you don't give it to you and you think about it, that is arrogance, harboring ambition, and is not tolerated by the emperor.

Obviously Concubine Yang did not understand this, and the Yang family probably did not understand it either.

The thought reflected in their actions is that as long as I am strong enough and have enough capital, the emperor will have to value me, and the ministers in the DPRK will support me and give me what I want.

It is true that if you go down this road smoothly, you can indeed achieve your goal.

But by leaving like this, it was her Yang family who was coercing the emperor to give in.

It would naturally work for a fatuous and cowardly monarch, but Pei Yao was not a fatuous king, nor was he weak.

Nowadays, the Yang family is still stable, that's because although they have ambitions, they haven't really done anything yet, they are still abiding by the rules, and Pei Yao has just ascended the throne.

Taking action to suppress the Yang family at this time will inevitably make the ministers think that the new king is unkind and unjust, which is bad for his reputation.

But it would be a big mistake if Concubine Yang and her family interpreted Pei Yao's inaction as reliance on trust or fear.

Fang Yun knew in his heart that no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to stop all the concubines in the harem and prevent them from advancing, advancing to the throne, or allowing their natal families to advance.

So, all she can do is bury the nails and knock them in one by one.

Let them seem to have a smooth road, but it hides hidden dangers.

When a certain time comes, once it is triggered, Qingyun Road will naturally collapse.

The Yang family moved quickly.

The next day, Hu Daixu got into trouble.

The people under him who were responsible for patrolling the city's security encountered a fight between people, and naturally they arrested the two leaders without any explanation.

By coincidence, these two people were Liang He, the grandson of General Ling Feng, Liang Renyuan, and Zhao Ruining, the son of Wen Jingbo, Zhao Wei.

General Ling Feng is over 70 years old and has been on the battlefield. He has no two sons left, but only a grandson, who he naturally loves.

And Wen Jingbo didn't give in too much. Although Zhao Ruining was a dandy, he was indeed his son, and he was his only son. He had five daughters before him, and it was not easy for the sixth one to have a son.

When they heard that their children had been arrested, they naturally rushed to jail to get him.

The person was caught by Hu Daixu's men, so he must have made trouble directly in front of Hu Daixu.

For a time, this caused a big fuss between Hu Daixu and Hu Daixu.

It’s not easy to offend anyone.

This one is a veteran general with military exploits, and the other is a nobleman who still holds an official position in the court.

To take a step back, the young masters of these two families are indeed wrong. Both sides are wrong, and it is difficult to judge.

Seeing that Hu Daixu was still reluctant to make a decision, the two families were also eager to protect their children and went straight to the imperial court.
