In fact, since Wang Zhen became more powerful, his relatives and eunuchs have become very arrogant and domineering. The Queen Mother Sun is not familiar with Cao Jixiang, but she thinks it is almost the same.
Such a person would definitely not be welcomed by a scholar like Cheng Jing.
However, Queen Mother Sun waved her hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. If Cheng Jing is a profit-seeking person, it will be hard to speak. It's only with his temperament that he can be useful."
Seeing that Jin Ying was still confused, Empress Dowager Sun explained: "Now King Xin has made it clear that he wants to take the opportunity to clean up the eunuchs. If Cheng Jing is a profit-seeking person who is bent on flattery, he will definitely act according to King Xin's wishes. How can he dare to harmonize with Wang Zhen?" Can you speak to Cao Jixiang who is involved?"
"The Ai family asked Cao Jixiang to come over not because they wanted him to please Cheng Jing, but because they wanted Cheng Jing to know that there is such a person."
"King Yin has been outside the palace for many years and suddenly ascended to the throne. He doesn't have many available people, especially those who are familiar with military affairs and can go out to supervise the army. There should be no confidants..."
Jin Ying suddenly realized, and continued: "So Holy Mother, you asked Cao Jixiang to take the path of Cheng Jing, so that it can be used in the future, once King Tan needs to send someone out to supervise the army, but there is no one available. "
Empress Dowager Sun nodded and said: "Yes, according to what you said, Na Cheng Jing is high-minded and self-possessed, and will not delay important events because of his own likes and dislikes. Since he is loyal to King Xi, he will definitely make plans for him. When the time comes, even if he doesn't like Cao Cao in his heart He has an auspicious habit, but as long as it can be useful to King Tan, he will still say good things."
After thinking through this section, Jin Ying suddenly felt that the Queen Mother's move was very clever.
Everything is very reasonable, so reasonable that no one can see anything strange.
King Yin wants to liquidate Wang Zhen's party. As Wang Zhen's disciple, Cao Jixiang seeks Cheng Jing's way to protect himself, which will not make anyone suspicious at all.
Although Cheng Jing had no friendship with Cao Jixiang, he was loyal to King Yi. King Yi had no one available, so he would definitely think of Cao Jixiang.
Out of his trust in Cheng Jing, King Tan would not doubt Cao Jixiang.
From the beginning to the end, the Queen Mother was not involved, but she secretly dug a deep nail. This method was enough to be called subtle.
Seeing the admiration on Jin Ying's face, Queen Mother Sun nodded and continued: "That's how the matter will be handled, but you have to do it carefully when it comes to impeachment in the outer court. Again, no matter how serious it is, say it the more troublesome it is. The bigger the better, only in this way can Cao Jixiang know who is helping him, and the Ai family doesn't want to go to all the trouble and end up raising a white-eyed wolf."
Jin Ying bowed to the ground and said: "Don't worry, my queen. When Cao Jixiang returns to the capital, the ministers will ask him to come to the palace to see him. He has done a lot of mischief outside. Even if you don't need King Tao, it will be easy for you to control him." Very."
Empress Dowager Sun felt relieved now. After all, she wasn't too worried about this matter.
After all, these eunuchs are all royal slaves. She is the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty. If Cao Jixiang dares to have any small thoughts, it will be easy to deal with him.
After dealing with the eunuch's arrangements, Queen Mother Sun relaxed slightly and continued to ask.
"What's going on with the queen and concubine these past two days?"
The mention of her two daughters-in-law really made Empress Dowager Sun very angry.
Before the emperor went to war, the two of them were his favorites. As a result, one of them was crying and at a loss, and the other was even more outrageous. Not only was his son made the prince, he didn't even know who he was.
Thinking of what happened on the day of the imperial meeting, Queen Mother Sun became angry.
If these two stupid things hadn't interfered with each other, the Wu family would have been thrown into the cold palace by her, and she might have spared Princess Tan.
When the time comes, she has these two good cards in her hands, why should she be so worried?
Jin Ying replied: "The Queen has sent people one after another to send a lot of winter clothes and equipment to the Emperor. There is not much else. Even the Queen herself is still crying every day. The imperial doctor said, if she keeps doing this If you go down, I'm afraid your eyes will be damaged."
After thinking about it, Jin Ying secretly looked at Queen Mother Sun's face and said cautiously: "The minister is thinking that if the Holy Mother is serious, she might as well advise the Queen Mother. It is not an option if she continues like this."
Queen Mother Sun had a headache. Why didn't she want to persuade her?
But the problem is, trying to persuade her is of no use. Instead, it makes her angry.
It’s not that Empress Dowager Sun didn’t know that her daughter-in-law, Empress Qian, was worried about the emperor, so she was frowning every day.
But she herself has a stubborn temper, and the most embarrassing thing is that she sheds tears at every turn.
So when I saw Empress Qian back in the day, before she spoke, I felt a little angry in my heart, but in the end it always ended with a scolding.
After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Sun sighed and said: "You also know the Queen's temperament. The root of this matter is still with the Emperor. If the Emperor cannot come back, it will be useless for anyone to persuade her. Instruct the Imperial Hospital to do more. Go to Kunning Palace to ask for some Ping'an pulse. If you need any precious medicinal supplements, don't be stingy."
Jin Ying nodded and said yes, and Queen Mother Sun asked again: "How is the imperial concubine doing?"
Speaking of the imperial concubine Zhou, Empress Dowager Sun actually looked down upon her. This woman was too ignorant to advance or retreat. She relied on her good luck to give birth to the emperor's eldest son. She was arrogant and domineering in the palace.
This is why Queen Qian has a gentle temper. If she had been in charge of the Sixth Palace, she would have set some rules for her.
Jin Yingdao: "The imperial concubine is living peacefully these days. It is said that the incident a few days ago scared the prince, so the imperial concubine refuses to leave the Changchun Palace these days. She has been taking care of her personally and doing everything herself. I’m afraid something will happen again.”
Empress Dowager Sun's face became a little better. No matter what, Zhou was still doing her best for her son. This was one of the reasons why Empress Dowager Sun had always indulged her.
but……
"Mother and son, Prince Xi, I'm afraid they will have to deal with a lot of troubles in the palace these days. The prince is in Changchun Palace, and the Ai family is worried. You can go and take the prince to Cining Palace tomorrow and stay with the Ai family for a while."
After thinking for a while, Queen Mother Sun finally spoke.
Although she was confident that King Tao would not dare to cause trouble at this time, she was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, so she had to put people under her nose to feel at ease.
Jin Ying took the order and saw that Queen Mother Sun had no other instructions, so she took a look and left.
After the people left, Queen Mother Sun relaxed her tense body and leaned on the soft couch at the back, closing her eyes and thinking about her thoughts.
Today's planning was indeed very laborious, but fortunately, everything went smoothly.
After a while, Queen Mother Sun stood up and walked out of the palace door. The autumn wind was bleak. The weather outside was gloomy and cloudy. It looked like it was going to rain.
The leaves in the yard were already withered and yellow, and they were swirling feebly in the wind.
Empress Dowager Sun stood like this. After an unknown period of time, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky, and as the lightning flashed, the pattering autumn rain fell, wetting the bluestone slab under the steps.
Looking past the high walls, Empress Dowager Sun looked towards the far north. Through the pitter-pattering curtain of water, she could see nothing clearly, only the mist rising.
Son, the weather is getting cold and you are alone outside. How are you?
