Hearing the news, Zheng Ji couldn't help but be shocked.
Father ordered Fengju to enter Prince Zhan Shifu?
Qian Gu obviously ran back in a hurry and gasped: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. Your Majesty even ordered Mr. Xue to go to Tai Tu's Mansion to deliver the oral message in person."
Xue Gong is the chief chamberlain of the palace. He is the most trusted chamberlain around Emperor Yongning and best represents the emperor's attitude.
Xue Gong personally went to Taifu's Mansion to deliver the oral message. Firstly, it represented the importance of this oral message, and secondly, it represented the irresistibility of this oral message.
Even if it is just compensation made by the emperor, it is the will of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Will cannot be disobeyed.
Zheng Ji thought about the matter in his mind and knew what his father meant.
She breathed out, not knowing how to react.
After a while, she turned to Concubine Jiang and said calmly: "Concubine, I was wrong before."
She thought that as long as she knew why her father wanted to kill Zhou Meiren, she would know why her father wanted to test Feng Ju.
But after hearing this oral instruction from her father, she didn't think so.
The death of Zhou Meiren might just give his father a reason to summon Feng Ju.
The father's test of Feng Ju happened earlier, at least before Zhou Meiren's death.
In other words, the father's killing of Zhou Mei and Feng Ju was just close in time, and there was no causal relationship.
The father tested Fengju in order to put Fengju into the Taifu Mansion.
Emperor Father asked Zhu Yi to hurt Fengju in the Zichen Palace just so that Fengju could enter Prince Zhan Shifu as compensation.
What the father really wants to do is to push the Tutor's Mansion to the Prince's line. He wants... Taifu Du Tong to assist the Prince's line!
Concubine Jiang was so stunned that she couldn't help blurting out: "Impossible! This is too stupid!"
As soon as the words came out, she hid her lips, and then she realized that everyone in the inner hall was her own people, so she was not afraid even if she said the wrong thing.
She explained: "Xiaojiu, this is to break someone's leg and then give them a stick. Who would be grateful for this?"
Tutor Du Tong has been alienated by the emperor over the years. There are different reasons for this. However, as the concubine who spent the most time with Emperor Yongning, Jiang Guifei had a vague guess.
The main reason why the emperor distanced himself from Du Tong was that the two had differences. The so-called different ways should not conspire with each other. This different way should be related to the prince.
Du Tong was already the Tutor and could no longer teach the Prince, but he could help the Prince and advise the officials of Prince Zhan's Mansion. However, over the years, Du Tong had no contact with the Prince's family.
Du Tong is not the kind of official who would give in to others. The reason why he has no contact with the prince's officials can only be that he does not recognize and support the prince.
But the prince is the crown prince and the person chosen by the emperor. Even if Du Tong is the tutor, what qualifications does he have not to recognize him?
This should be the reason why the emperor was dissatisfied with Du Tong.
This reason is so subtle that even if officials in the DPRK and China could guess it, they would keep it secret.
When she suddenly heard that the emperor had injured Du Fengju in the Zichen Palace, Concubine Jiang guessed that the emperor would vent all his dissatisfaction with Du Tong on his youngest son.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu said that the emperor did this to let Du Tong help the prince's family. Is this... a mistake?
Zheng Ji looked tense, nodded and said again: "Mother, you can't be wrong. This is what my father had in mind."
"But, will Du Tong agree?"
If Du Tong had agreed, he would not have allowed the emperor to be alienated over the years and not care. Now that the emperor has hurt his youngest son for the sake of the prince, Du Tong is not stupid, so it is strange that he would agree. .
"It is true that Taifu will not agree, but does it matter whether he agrees or not?" Zheng Ji replied with a slightly cold expression.
The father wanted to push Du Tong to join the prince's line. There were many ways, but he chose to hurt Feng Ju in the Zichen Palace and then make amends. There was another very important reason, and that was a warning!
Father is warning Du Tong, he can
If Fengju is injured, Fengju can also... lose his life.
Why does an emperor need a reason to want a person's life? Let alone the Taifu's youngest son, even if the Taifu's own life is taken, what can others do?
Concubine Jiang was speechless. She thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case.
If the emperor is determined to let Du Fengju join Prince Zhan Shifu as an errand, what can he do even if Du Tong is unwilling?
Can you resist and disobey orders? Unless you die!
"But, Xiaojiu, isn't Du Fengju your weakness? Then...then there's really nothing you can do about it? Or..."
Concubine Jiang looked at her daughter and asked a question she didn't want to see but couldn't ignore: "Did the emperor do this deliberately because he knew how important Du Fengju was to you?"
Zheng Ji opened his mouth and wanted to shake his head to refute something, but finally nodded: "Concubine, maybe there is this reason."
With Fengchen Guards and Zhu Yi beside her father, he would not be unaware of her interactions with Fengju, especially when his father cares so much about Taifu Du Tong.
Did the father know that she had a close relationship with Fengju, so he deliberately pushed Fengju into Prince Zhan Shifu?
Firstly, you can use the influence of the Taifu Mansion, and secondly, you can also borrow money from the Jiang family.
After all, if she and Fengju are together, and if Fengju is used by the prince, then the prince can also use the Jiang family's money.
My father is the king of a country, and every step he takes must be made after three steps of thinking. This is definitely a possibility!
Zheng Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and he showed a sarcastic smile and said, "Father, the idea is very good, but he seems to have forgotten one thing. There is a prerequisite for this."
"What is it?"
"That means Feng Ju must be willing to be used by the prince's family, otherwise, it will be all in vain!" Zheng Ji sneered.
Fengju's father was Tutong Dutong, who had no plans with the prince. For this reason alone, it would be impossible for Fengju to willingly join the prince Zhan Shifu.
Not to mention, Fengju also has a foster father, Lu Wanjun!
To this day, Zheng Ji doesn't know how Master Lu died, but she is certain of one thing, that it has something to do with the palace and her father!
The father's calculations have forced the Taifu's Mansion into such a situation. The Taifu's Mansion can only turn to the prince, but the Taifu's Mansion will never become the prince's help as the father hopes.
Oh, this time, my father made a mistake! It can be said that you are shooting yourself in the foot!
Even if the Taifu Mansion does not dare to resist and disobey the decree, Fengju is willing to join the Prince Zhan Shifu. Does the prince... such a cautious and smart person dare to use Fengju?
Zheng Ji was right. When the prince learned about this oral instruction, he was also in a very bad mood, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
His father was doing it for his own good, he knew it very well, but...
He can't use it, and he doesn't dare to use it!
