Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she caressed Guo Qinjun's round and jade-like body like ancient porcelain, feeling the woman's efforts to cater to her and her delicate gasping.
Power is so good. With enough power, a woman like Guo Qinyun, who is a concubine, will still have to crawl in front of her and beg for mercy. But what she wants to pursue is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
In Prince Gong's current situation, it would be good if he could protect himself, so what else do you want?
But Guo Qinyun is still obsessed with giving Prince Gong a chance to ascend to the throne, and one day she can also ascend to the position of Queen Mother.
In Feng Ziying's view, this was putting Prince Gong on the fire, and even letting others point open and covert arrows at her son. Did she really want Emperor Wan Tong to target Prince Gong?
Although Emperor Wan Tong is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the cabinet, it does not mean that he has no strength in his hands. For someone like Guo Qinyun who has moved to a remote cold palace, how many people are still buying your fault?
If Emperor Wan Tong really felt that Prince Gong was an obstacle to his lineage of successors, and then had ruthless intentions to kill Prince Gong and even you, Guo Qinjun, that would not be a big problem.
Emperor Wan Tong had four sons. Except for the prince, who was always very popular among scholars and the former emperor, the other three sons were all grown up and were looking forward to it.
Under such circumstances, could he tolerate others taking away the inheritance he had worked so hard to pursue?
To put it bluntly, he may not be emperor for a few years, and it will be difficult to reverse the current situation of dominance in the cabinet, but this does not mean that his sons cannot do it.
As long as you sit in that position, there will naturally be people willing to work for you.
Among the scholars, the important ministers in the court, and even the cabinet were not monolithic. There are also those who are willing to use imperial power to suppress the power of the prime minister and then seek benefits for them. Emperor Wan Tong saw this very clearly.
What Emperor Wan Tong has to do now is to lay a solid foundation, deliberately create a situation, win over people's hearts, and even deliberately comfort and care for the ministers in the court and the people in the scholarly society.
Didn’t you see that a few days ago, I went to Qingtan Academy, Tonghui Academy, and Chongzheng Academy to encourage the students who are studying in the academy and preparing for the Spring Festival Competition next year?
What is this doing? It is to win the hearts and minds of Shilin people with the cabinet.
Although the high-ranking ministers in the cabinet are the leaders and representatives of the civil servants, it does not mean that everyone can enjoy the care of leaders and representatives like you.
And this time Enke Qiuwei and Chunwei are the welfare benefits brought by Emperor Wan Tong's ascension to the throne. Emperor Wan Tong certainly wants these scholars to understand this.
But in the end, Emperor Wan Tong still had to come and circle the dragon with the golden pen, so Emperor Wan Tong had to use this method to declare his independence.
I have to say that Emperor Wan Tong has matured a lot after going through so many years of ups and downs, and he has gained a deeper understanding of forbearance.
Emperor Wan Tong knew that it was pointless to compete with the extremely powerful cabinet and would only result in a bloody blow. He should focus on the present and plan for the long term. This is what he should do.
Even if his generation has no hope of balancing imperial power and prime ministerial power, at least he must lay a solid foundation for his son after he ascends the throne. He also knows that everything he does will be seen by the cabinet ministers and will use various means to counter it.
But he couldn't back down, and he had no choice, unless he was willing to be a puppet for the rest of his life, even his own son, which he couldn't accept.
Under such circumstances, the cabinet would definitely use several princes from Emperor Yonglong's lineage to counterattack and restrain Emperor Wan Tong. How could Emperor Wan Tong give in easily at that time?
Any means may be used. At that time, the lives of several of Emperor Yonglong's heirs will be in danger. Guo Qinyun should understand this. Feng Ziying would like to remind Guo Qinjun that going too far is not going too far. It is really not a good thing to jump too high now. Besides, what qualifications do you have to jump too high now? Apart from being a scapegoat for the adult princes such as King Shou, King Fu, and King Li, what's the point?
"What's the point?"
After curling up and coming out of the side room, Guo Qinyun didn't even shy away from it. She just walked over naked and went to bed again.
seems to notice Feng
Looking at Ziying, Guo Qinjun even deliberately straightened her chest and walked around gracefully and with a full sense of rhythm.
The whole body was filled with crystal moist luster from the sunlight that was scattered through the window paper, and it seemed to make the air in the room become fragrant.
This body was not the most charming that Feng Ziying had ever seen, but it was definitely one of the most beautiful bodies. Shapely and firm, fair and delicate with a hint of blush, full of harmonious beauty.
Feng Ziying knew what Guo Qinjun was hiding in the quiet room next door.
She just said that she had to deal with hidden dangers during her fertile period. The palace had its own contraceptive methods, so she had to deal with them first. Who couldn't hold it back?
"There are a lot of meanings. Do you think Prince Gong can be content with the humiliation and hide at the end?" Guo Qinjun got on the bed, then leaned against Feng Ziying on the bedside and said coldly. "So you think you should take a chance now?" Feng Ziying asked, tilting her head.
"If nothing is done, will Prince Gong have any hope in the future?" Guo Qinjun asked the same question.
"There is no hope." Feng Ziying responded unceremoniously: "Under normal circumstances, the cabinet will not choose Prince Gong, the youngest son among the several sons of the Supreme Emperor."
"In that case, why not let Prince Gong have the greatest publicity and make Prince Gong the most dazzling. This will not only make Prince Gong visible to the cabinet, but also expose Prince Gong to the eyes of the people in the capital. Anyone who wants to have evil intentions must be afraid. What about the points?"
Feng Ziying was stunned by Guo Qinjun's words.
Taking a closer look, it seems that this method also makes sense.
In the end, Emperor Wan Tong might really not let go of any threats that might threaten his son's succession.
No matter how much Prince Gong tolerated Xun An, Prince Gong studied at Qingtan Academy and had a reputation as a virtuous person. In the eyes of outsiders, Prince Gong might be the most suitable candidate, and Emperor Wan Tong would not fail to see it.
Now, maybe it would be safer to simply maximize his reputation and keep Prince Gong in the eyes of the princes in the court and the people of the capital city? If Emperor Wan Tong wants to deal with Prince Gong, he must consider whether any means will cause backlash?
Feng Ziying stroked Guo Qinjun's slightly messy high bun, and her fingers fell on the other person's shoulders. "Then you have to think carefully. This is a double-edged sword with great pros and cons. In addition, Mei Yuexi looks over there. After seeing your move, I might follow your example, King Lu will definitely have an advantage in this aspect,..."
"I know, but I thought about it and did it this way, but I need your help." Guo Qinyun pressed her chest against Feng Ziying's and raised her dimples, "You have to help me."
"How can I help you?" Feng Ziying said softly.
"In the next few years, as Prince Gong's reputation grows, if the Emperor cannot take action in other ways, he will definitely resort to dirty tricks."
Guo Qinjun's eyes were bright, "Even as you said, Zhang So will follow suit, and will use various means to deal with Ge'er, and even frame others. In short, he will definitely use all possible means."
Feng Ziying nodded. This was inevitable. There was no family affection to talk about in the battle for the throne.
"I'm having a hard time now, and so is I. We've all been kicked out and driven out of the inner palace." Guo Qinjun's face showed a hint of desolation and helplessness, "There are also more than half of the people around me. Fortunately, Pei Shenghai Never give up, the regular monthly money is 90% less..."
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Emperor Wan Tong could really do it, but then she thought about it, if she didn't do it, would it be a disaster for herself? It is best to put it into the cold palace and let it disappear naturally and quietly.
The regular money allocated in the palace is all spent in the cold palace. It doesn't cost much. It's enough to feed you and clothe you. What else do you think about? "Which palace are you in now?" Feng Ziying asked casually.
Guo Qinjun had an embarrassed and embarrassed look on her face, "Xianruo Pavilion, I'm afraid you don't know, it's no longer in the inner palace. You know Cining Garden. It's in front of Cining Garden, next to the room of the former Ming Secretary. ,·······》
Feng Ziying shook his head. He was not familiar with the situation in the palace. Apart from Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, he was more familiar with the East Study.
"They were all driven out. Xu Junru was driven to the Yinghua Palace. At the northwest end, Mei Yuexi was driven to the Jiefeng Palace, the smallest and most remote palace. In the northeast corner, Mei Yuexi was almost going crazy. ···
···
It seemed that Guo Qinjun had regained some of his vitality at this time, "Su Lingyao was driven to Ciqing Palace,..."
"Isn't Ciqing Palace small? It's right in front of Renshou Palace?" Feng Ziying still has some impressions of Ciqing Palace. It's not far from the East Study Room, which is also the Yuanhui Palace in the former Ming Dynasty.
"Well, it is indeed not small." Guo Qinyun gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Second only to Renshou Palace and Cining Palace, this may not be a good thing. It shows that the emperor deliberately pushed Su Lingyao to be the target of public criticism... .”
Feng Ziying smiled and said nothing. This woman was even jealous of this. When has this happened? It's a matter of family and life. Do you still care about this?
It can be seen that this woman's jealousy is everywhere and always present.
"It's very difficult for me now. The normal amount of silver in the palace every month was two thousand taels, and I still have one thousand taels. But now I have been reduced to only two hundred taels, and I have two hundred taels. I can only get four hundred taels." What to do? Not even a reward is enough!"
Guo Qinjun gritted her teeth, "I heard that the price will be reduced by half during the new year. Each person only has one hundred taels, and all the expenses for rouge and gouache are included in it.
They all need to be deducted from it, how can we survive? What should I do if I'm outside? "
What do you mean? Even the women in your own house only have a few dozen taels of silver a month. Are you not satisfied with a hundred taels? Of course, the situation is different. I am used to being lavish, and now it suddenly becomes like this, and I will definitely not be able to survive.
When you tell yourself this, are you asking yourself for money? No way? The noble concubine actually fell to the point of asking for money from herself? After so many years in the palace, this woman doesn’t have any savings?
