Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 143

The secret conversation in Yaohua Palace could not escape the attention of Yangxin Palace after all.As expected, Emperor Rui of the Hall of Mental Cultivation already knew all about it.In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the two chatted leisurely.

"Du's side, what's the idea here?" The emperor buckled the secret booklet in his hand on the imperial case, narrowed his peach blossom eyes dangerously, and looked at the person sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, picking up pastries to eat Eight kings.

"This time it really wasn't the Du family who provoked it first, it was that Mrs. Huimin in your palace." Ba Wang put down the plate after hearing this, "In my opinion, my little sister-in-law Liu had no choice but to do it."

"As a last resort?" The emperor smiled, and added the accent on these words, "Her skills are not that small, I am afraid that when I am about to take down the thirteen counties of Nanluo, this round will start to lay out. Yes. Chen Minxian was dragged into the game by her and even made a wedding dress for her, I'm afraid she was playing tricks on her!"

"Brother Huang, this situation is not that difficult to break, as long as you don't enter the game, and if you don't agree, it will be over." The Eighth King smiled indifferently, with the same peach blossom eyes as Emperor Rui, showing an incomparable laziness.

"Back then, when the Chen family sent Chen Minxian into the palace, it was originally a pawn to win my trust." The emperor seemed to remember something, with a faint anger on his face, "Chen Minxian is safe and has five children. Back then, in the South Xun, I promised these two two things, now that I think about it, I am too soft-hearted."

"It was Xin Yin who said that the fifth girl's marriage is in the hands of her mother and concubine?" The Eighth King was vaguely thinking of Xin Yin's complaint with resentment when it was confirmed that the seventh princess married into Kunsang.

"Concubine Hui has been in the palace for many years, and has never made any request to plan for the family or herself. Back then in Nanluo, the situation was critical, so that the Chen family would not betray her, and she agreed to her request." The man who assassinated.

He is good at forbearance, for the sake of layout, he can do things that ordinary people can't bear, and can do things that ordinary people dare not do.At that time in Nanluo, in order to lure Liu's family and Nalan's family into the game, he put himself at risk, fearing that the situation would lose control. Before the incident, he used the entire Chen family to coerce Chen Minxian to be loyal to the royal family.

At that time, Chen Minxian was afraid that she had a will to die, and wanted to follow him all the way to the dark.The only thing I am worried about is the five emperors who I have given birth to.

Therefore, there were actually two secret decrees back then, one was the heir to the throne; the other was held in Chen Minxian's hands, the marriage of the fifth emperor's daughter.

For so many years, the emperor felt that the marriage of the fifth emperor's daughter was nothing but Chen Minxian's selfishness for his mother.Now it seems that the Chen family wanted to marry the Du family, and it was a plan to secretly support the prince born by the Du family to ascend the throne.

The Chen family's plan is actually extremely dangerous.But if he also has this idea, then it's a different matter.

If the Du family, as the prince's kinsman, is too powerful, it may cause trouble in the future.Therefore, he made sure of the Du family, the forces in the northwest, and the forces in the thirteen counties of Nanluo, all of which were his temptations and suggestions for the Du family.

The Du family has operated in the Northwest for six generations. All the military generals who fought with the royal ancestors in the past have all been exhausted, and only the Du family has survived.

He doesn't believe that his family has no influence and leverage.The previous generation of the Du family had no daughters, otherwise the Du family's daughter's entry into the palace would not have been postponed until Xijia's eight years.

In the fifth year of Xijia, Du Liuniang ran for election, the emperor who had planned to be included in the inner court, but gave up and said nothing; it was only because of this younger brother who had always been by his side and survived the bloodthirsty murder of the regent's uncle.

He finds a younger brother and spends time in front of outsiders, but he is still very loyal in front of him.The person his younger brother fell in love with, the unspeakable pain, he was willing to let go.

It's just a woman, and I can't let my brother be separated from me because of a woman.So he left Du Liuniang a sign, but three years later he married him to the Eighth Prince.Du Jiuniang, the only 13-year-old daughter of the Du family, was brought into the harem, and she was favored everywhere.

The Du family thought their girl was a good chess player, but they didn't know that there was another person behind the scenes manipulating all this.The power of the Du family has been eroded by the emperor little by little over the years, and the military power in the Northwest that had disturbed several generations of the royal family was gradually withdrawn.The life-saving things of the Du family were taken away bit by bit, so they could only obey.

As the emperor, he is satisfied with this situation, but before his successor is selected, it is not easy to sharpen his sword if he does not give any power to the prince of the Du family.A knife can only be a good knife and be used by the emperor only when the knife holder sharpens it well.

Although the Chen family's request was dangerous, they still did not escape from their plan.Even if the Chen family does not enter the game, there is still the Lu family available.Since the Chen family is willing to enter the game and fight, then the pawn of the Lu family can take it easy.

The emperor figured out the joints, and asked his eighth brother's question, but didn't rush to answer.

"Then, brother emperor, how do you plan to solve this situation?" When encountering a crisis and the emperor's throne, the first person to jump out must be the commander of the hidden guard.Without him, the first family motto of the head of the royal dark guard in charge of the dark guard is to protect the emperor and protect the safety of the royal family.

The Eight Kings followed the emperor through the civil strife that killed the regent's uncle, so they naturally knew where the emperor's taboos were.The aristocratic family is powerful and has planned for many years to remove the second and disable the second.Of the big families in Yujing back then, only the Chen, Lu and Li families remained.The Du family is also left among the founding generals.

Now the Chen family and the Lu family can remain neutral because they have no princes, and the Li family and the Du family can check each other.If the Chen family formed an alliance with the Du family, the Lu family would be neutral and would not be able to check and balance the three families.

Only this situation is not easy to break.

"Shangzhu of the Du family, yes." The emperor spit out this sentence lightly, which puzzled the eight kings.

"Sixth Brother!" The Eighth Prince's habit of always replacing his imperial brother as the sixth brother when he was in a crisis has not changed at all.

"Brother, don't panic." The emperor pushed the pastry plate in front of him to the side of the pastry plate in front of the Eight Kings, "Li family and Du family, who does brother think has the upper hand?"

"Of course it is..." The word "Du family" in the mouth of the eight kings was swallowed when the emperor clasped his hands and clicked on the brochure.

The Northwest Army and the Lu family are stationed, and secretly the imperial brother's people are gradually eating away.Both the Du family's family general and the old department were transferred to southern Xinjiang.

The manpower and power of Nanluo Thirteen Counties are now clearly in the hands of Du Jiu, but the Du family and the royal family know it well.From now on, the power of the thirteen counties can only obey the orders of King Mu Yao of Liang County.

"Brother Huang..." The eighth prince's voice was a little dry, and he pushed the third prince Mu Yao out as a whetstone to grind against the second prince, "Is it imperative for Du and Chen to marry each other? "

"This is the only way out for the Du family to protect themselves before my son grows up. Whether or not we can catch it depends entirely on the Du family's ability."

"Brother Huang, do you still remember that my younger brother once helped him secretly?" The Eighth Prince couldn't bear it. In his opinion, he was the only junior who was suitable to be the leader of the hidden guards in this royal family.It would be a pity if it was really lost in this battle for the throne.

"Don't worry, if San'er can't even handle this, you should put away your plans as soon as possible." The emperor's words acquiesced to the eight kings' previous plans, but his plan would not allow the eight kings to destroy it.

It seemed to be a joke, but it contained a faint warning, warning the eight princes not to interfere in their own arrangements, not to interfere in the battle of princes, and not to interfere in the battle for the throne.

"Chendi...Chendi knows how to measure, so don't worry, Brother Huang." Eighth King said these words with difficulty, only to feel the coercion around him ease.

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, since this king is the one I decided to pursue early in the morning.The only thought in Ba Wang's mind was, what a pity.

"The emperor has always reassured me, of course I trust my brother." The emperor said this with kindness and power, looked at the eight kings bowed their heads, and smiled with satisfaction.

"I understand, but follow the orders of the emperor." After the eight kings finished speaking, they fell silent.

"Don't worry, brother, the emperor knows that you are in a difficult situation. You don't have to do anything, just send someone to guard the Ganye Temple for the emperor." The emperor waved his hand, "Go down, the princess should wait at home brother."

The Eight Kings shook their clenched hands and saluted, "Your brother will leave."

"My brother remembers what the emperor said, go back."

Watching the regressing figure of the Eight Kings leave the palace gate, the emperor laughed at himself, "Hmph, my own brother fears me like a poisonous scorpion."

The lord of Yaohua Palace, who had been talked about by the two royal brothers for a long time, was sitting in the main hall of Chengqian Palace at this moment, eating the snacks brought by the Dagong people next to Mrs. Huimin, full of praise.

Mrs. Huimin handed over a glass container containing Gannan tribute oranges. The golden orange petals are full of particles, and they are shining brightly under the reflection of the transparent glass.

"I made money today. All the good things in sister Hui's palace will be eaten up by me." Shi Niang picked up a small piece of tribute orange with a small fork and said with a smile, "The oranges from Gannan are full of palaces. There are only a few baskets."

"If there is anything delicious, keep my sister's mouth shut." Mrs. Huimin joked.

Immediately, Chen Minxian amusingly picked up a piece of orange and sent it to Du Shiniang's mouth.

"You have finished eating the tribute oranges in your own palace, are you here to beg them?" Chen Minxian put down the fork, "This thing is so sour, you are the only one who likes to eat it when you are pregnant."

"It's Sister Hui who is caring. Knowing that I'm thinking about things, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it even if Baba comes to my door."

"Come on, if you don't come, I will have someone send it to your palace." Chen Minxian waved her hand, "Since you come to ask for it yourself, it will save them trouble. Tell your people to go with you and put the box sour." Pack up the oranges and take them away."

Ruo Min looked at Shi Niang, got Shi Niang's approval, and retreated with the servants around Mrs. Huimin.

When there were only two people left in the hall, Shi Niang sat up straight and wiped off the juice on her hands with a handkerchief.

"Sister, you are welcome. Whatever my sister has, as long as you want it, I will give it to you." Chen Minxian raised her head and looked at Du Shi today.

She was sure that Mrs. Du came today to negotiate terms with her.

"Is it from my sister's hands, or from the Chen family?" Shi Niang also let Chen Minxian look at her, and said leisurely.

"Chen Minxian was born in the Chen family in Yujing. The head of the family taught her to dedicate everything to the family. The Chen family will always be Chen Minxian's natal family. My sister can rest assured." Chen Minxian replied calmly, but the firmness in the words made people trust a bit.

"Papapapa" Ten Niang applauded, "What a Chen Minxian from the Chen family, so may I ask my sister, are you doing business with me as the Chen family, or as the head of the garrison department?"

"Then I dare to ask sister Jia, should I negotiate business with my Chen family as the Du family, or as Mrs. Shujia and the leader of the Xin tribe?"

"Just like my elder sister, my younger sister was born in the Du family, the family of the founding military generals. According to the ancestral training of the Du family, she returned the military power to the royal family and retreated completely."

"Getting out of your body, sometimes what you need to get out of your body is wisdom and helpers. Relying on wisdom alone, without an alliance, may be more dangerous." Chen Minxian smiled, "I don't know if the Du family needs help? The Chen family is happy to help."

"With your daughter's marriage as a contract, what the Chen family wants is too simple. I don't believe it." Shi Niang shook her head, "Sister Hui, you are smart, and others are not fools."

"My daughter's marriage is just an opportunity, not a contract." Chen Minxian calmed down instead, "Since our two families have the same purpose, it is not difficult to join hands and help each other. Xiao Wu's marriage is just to make the two families stable."

"What a mother and concubine who is planning for a daughter, aren't you afraid that Wu Yatou will be disappointed by doing this?" Ten Niang asked.

"My younger sister and the Du family will not cross rivers and tear down bridges. I believe it, and so does the Chen family. There is nothing wrong with marrying the emperor's natal family. There is nothing wrong with marrying the emperor's natal family. It's not wrong to marry the emperor's natal family."

"If you want to get married, you have to live to enjoy it." Shi Niang turned to talk about the Du family, "No one from the third generation of the Du family entered the official position, just to save their lives."

"All the third generation of the Chen family joined the government to save their lives. Why should my sister be too aggressive? This cooperation requires calmness, doesn't it?" Chen Minxian remained calm in the face of persecution.

"Since they are all life-saving, how can I be sure that the family that can betray the master in order to save their lives will not betray their allies?"

"The Chen family has always only been loyal to the royal family. It does not stand in line or take sides. It only hates being dragged into the vortex of family rivalry, and it is delusional to destroy the whole family. The Xiao family was a lesson for us yesterday. If we don't want to be destroyed, we can only find another way out."

"Under the overturned nest, there are eggs!" Shi Niang gave the answer, but she didn't intend to let it go easily, "Sister Hui should know that the Du family has been involved in the battle for the throne, and they have to move if they don't move. , the Chen family who wants to marry the Du family, how can they help the Du family?"

"The Chen family is willing to push the younger sister's son to the top with all the strength of the whole family. When it is done, the Chen family does not seek to be famous, but to live."

"Sister and the Chen family are showing weakness, I don't believe it. After the matter is completed, the daughter of the Chen family can enter the palace. As for the future, it depends on the ability of your Chen family. I have given too much, I am afraid that you will not believe it. "

"My sister's sincerity is enough for the Chen family." Chen Minxian was stunned for a moment. Originally, she wanted to save her own family through the Du family. It is a good thing to have such an unexpected promise.

"Sister, don't you want to ask about the future of the fifth girl?" Seeing that things are going in the direction she met, Shi Niang doesn't mind letting Chen Shi understand.

This is the truth about Mrs. Huimin marrying a daughter. For the sake of the imperial daughter, forcing the Du family to propose a marriage is simply done for other people to see.

What the Chen family really wanted was to covet the achievement of being a dragon after protecting themselves.

It is not suitable for the Du family to develop power now, and it will take a few more years to wait for the rise of the family generation, so marriage has become a must.Even if the Chen family doesn't make a move, the Lu family will keep an eye on it.It's not that Mrs. Duanxian didn't try to use the marriage of the sixth emperor's daughter.

As for the embarrassment in front of stepmother Chen and Sixth Sister, it was just a play.The grandmother in the family will only let go if the two are pushed out.

And his good uncle and third uncle can collude with the Chen family as soon as possible without worrying about the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the backyard.

All of this is simple to say, but how to take every step in it, in the end, it has been deduced countless times. After reaching this step, Shi Niang's heart is really clear.

But before it is a foregone conclusion, we must not take it lightly.Therefore, her seemingly nonchalant question was the final touch to end the game.

If it's done, everyone is happy; if it doesn't work, you have to promise other things to help the Chen family enter the game willingly.

Chen Minxian thought for a while and asked, "The third generation of the Du family has no heirs. The only people who match my daughter's age and identity are Du Runzhe of the eldest family and Du Runjin of the second wife. They are no more than these two. The children are all good children, they are worthy of my five children."

"Brother Zhe is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and Princess Shang cannot participate in politics." Ten Niang threw out this sentence a little slowly.

The clan's wife is responsible for family sacrifices, childbirth, management of the family's internal affairs, contact with the elders and peers in the family, and handling the relationship between the sisters-in-law within the family, etc.But as a spoiled princess of the royal family, it is not suitable and may not be competent.

"Du Runjin?" Chen Minxian frowned, "His eldest mother is not a good match. Du Ziqing is sent to Liuzhou, and his wife will definitely serve her mother-in-law at Du's house. The two layers of mother-in-law are oppressing her, and Xiao Wu feels aggrieved."

"The fifth girl is the princess of Daliang, so a princess mansion is still worth it." Ten Niang had already thought of a countermeasure, and the princess married into Yujingju Princess Mansion.

"Of course Mu Jingning lives in Xiao's house." Chen Minxian was moved, but there were very few married princesses who married into Yujing, and there was no precedent to follow. The emperor would be troublesome.

"Sister, have you forgotten, that is enough for His Majesty the Emperor to have a headache." Ten Niang pointed in the direction of Yihua Palace, "It's nothing more than the relationship between husband and wife is too deep to get out. Of course, it is inevitable that the son-in-law will stay with the Princess Mansion."

"Since my sister has such a good plan, I will thank you." This means that she agreed to this marriage.

In fact, from the very beginning, what the Chen family and the Chen family wanted was nothing more than a marriage relationship with the Du family. Wealth and wealth are in danger, and it doesn't matter whether they marry Du Zicheng or not.

Compared with the imperial concubine's relatives, she is more optimistic about Du Runjin of the Du family, the nephew of the eighth princess, the eldest grandson of the second house, and the eldest son and eldest grandson of the big house.Although he has bet on the woman's marriage, within his ability, he still wants to find a good husband with his children.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so it is natural to have the best of both worlds.If he followed the emperor, there was no guarantee that the Xiao family would not be a lesson learned from the Chen family.It's better to do it first, than in the future when all the birds will be hidden and the whole family will be demolished by crossing the river.

"I also wish my sister every success, and find a good match for the fifth girl." Shiniang smiled and stretched out her hand, shaking Chen Minxian in the air.

"Daliang Ruidi Benji" records: In December of the 24th year of Xijia, Emperor Rui obtained the request of Mrs. Huimin to marry the emperor's five daughters to Du Runjin from the Du family, and set up a princess mansion.Chen and Du are married.From then on, Emperor Rui's harem started a situation where the two wives ruled together, which lasted for six years until the new emperor succeeded to the throne.
