Zheng Ji has known for a long time that one move can affect the whole body, but being in the middle of the game, it is inevitable that he will overlook some subtleties.
She could not have imagined that the urgency felt by the prince's family was due to the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army.
Yes, at the beginning of the sixth year of Yongning, the Beiya Forbidden Army will be formed, and then the news of Shi Su's illness will come out.
In the previous life, it was Yu Youtang who finally became the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army. Now, if nothing unexpected happens, it is Lu Guang.
The reason why the prince's family is so anxious is because of this accident?
What kind of accident could throw Lu Guang into the position of commander-in-chief of the Beiya Forbidden Army?
"Now among the prince's family, who can become the commander-in-chief of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army?" Zheng Ji murmured.
This question is not only a question to myself, but also to Du Tong and Du Fengju.
It was impossible for Du Tong to answer the conversation, but Du Fengju couldn't help but think about it.
In his opinion, the prince's family did not have a suitable candidate. Otherwise, the prince would not have behaved like that when Yu Youtang had an accident.
But now it seems that the prince obviously has someone in his hands.
Who is it?
More importantly, is there any necessary connection between the Cining Palace incident and the replacement of the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army?
It seems that Henglou has to go check this matter out.
Zheng Ji thought the same thing and was going to ask Qin Zhou and the others to investigate the connection between Lu Guang and Cining Palace.
However, she also knew in her heart that matters involving Cining Palace had been almost completely wiped out over the years. Even if she tried to investigate, nothing would be found.
And those who knew some details of Cining Palace back then, such as Du Tong, would not tell them easily.
If Dou Gui hadn't defected to her because of Dou Shiyuan, she would have continued to keep this secret secret.
Zheng Ji looked at Du Tong, cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master Taifu, for the suggestion."
"...His Highness was joking, but I never mentioned anything to Your Highness." Du Tong hurriedly cleared the air.
As the current Grand Tutor, he would not dare to accept this suggestion easily, otherwise, he would not be able to achieve anything good.
Moreover, he always felt that His Highness Chang Ding was digging a hole for him. If he really admitted that this was a pointer, with his temperament, he would definitely follow the stick and pester him to tell more things.
However, he couldn't help but want to know more.
In particular, the words "The Queen Mother can determine the crown prince", and the Tao family in Northern Xinjiang after the Jiang family...
These two points really touched his heart.
"Your Highness, since you know the reason for the urgency of the Crown Prince's family, I would like to ask, where did you get that sentence?"
It is not the Queen Mother who can determine the crown prince, but such a sentence came out. Obviously, the person behind it wanted to sow discord between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Although the Queen Mother is not in charge now, every move of the Tian family's mother and son affects the current situation of the court.
This is not something that can be ignored.
"An old friend told me." Zheng Ji replied. She didn't think anyone would think that this was what Dou Gui said.
As she had thought before, it was absolutely impossible for the Dou family to know about such a thing given their status.
Seeing that Zheng Ji didn't want to say more, Du Tong didn't force it. He just said: "Your Highness, I can only tell you that it is best for the country and the country that the Queen Mother is taking refuge in Cining Palace now."
He looked directly at Zheng Ji, put away the careless smile on his face, and said seriously: "Your Highness, no matter what you want to do, don't have any ideas about Cining Palace!"
He looked at Du Fengju beside him and added: "Fengju, you too!"
Zheng Ji smiled, his eyes dark and unreadable: "Master Taifu, this palace has already decided on the idea of Cining Palace. What do you think... so what?"
It's not that she wants to go against Du Tong, but that's the truth.
The concubine used Cining Palace to weaken her favor, Empress Xue used Cining Palace to suppress her concubine, and what Dou Gui said...
No matter what, she
Will take the idea of Cining Palace.
In fact, after meeting Du Tong, she planned to go to Cining Palace to try out what this sentence meant.
Since no one knows what the words left by Concubine Yonggui mean, let’s ask the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother, you will always know, right?
"Your Highness, you..." Du Tong was so angry that his beard was raised, and it was hard to believe that there was someone more rogue than himself.
But if you think about it seriously, it is really not surprising that His Highness thinks so.
If you don't consider the emperor's anger and the influence of the country, then if you have doubts in your heart, you will naturally ask someone who knows.
However, that person is the Queen Mother...
Du Fengju couldn't help but look at Zheng Ji, and felt something strange in his heart: It's strange, why does His Highness seem to be deliberately irritating his father?
Obviously, His Highness's intention to fight was not Cining Palace's idea, but his father's attention.
He thought for a while and then said: "Father, Your Highness knows everything, don't worry. Besides, father also knows about the affairs in the court. If something happens to the Jiang family and the Tao family, it will be even worse for the country and the court."
Isn't this the reason why my father is increasingly disliked by the emperor?
Because of his adoptive father, he has always been wary and suspicious of the emperor, but even if it were not because of this, and not because of His Highness, he still felt that something was wrong.
Isn't this what the Dou family has in mind when they seek refuge with His Highness?
Father, same thing.
Du Tong paused in twirling his beard and glanced at Du Fengju angrily.
Feng Ju spoke for His Highness without leaving any trace, of course he knew this.
Fengju knew what he was thinking. He really didn't want to see the emperor exerting his power to the extreme, let alone the dynasty being turbulent because of this matter.
His Highness Changding used this sentence to test him, hoping to get some news from him.
But what he knows is not only known to him.
The prince's line, to be precise, Queen Xue also knows.
But he still reminded: "Lu Guang, when he was a guard in the palace in the past, he took great care of the Queen Mother."
This news was extremely secretive at the time, and the only people who knew it were the emperor and the empress.
After all, the late emperor was angry about this at that time, which was not a glorious thing.
He sighed and said, "Lu Guang has made great contributions to the country. I don't know why he is willing to come out again. You must investigate carefully whether this matter has anything to do with Cining Palace."
He didn't know whether Lu Guang's agreement to become an official again had something to do with His Highness, but Lu Guang had a close relationship with Mr. Lu, and Fengju was favored by his adoptive father, so he also had such a passionate relationship.
He couldn't be sure whether Feng Ju had a hand in it. It was just Lu Guang's credit and shouldn't be clouded by this.
After Zheng Ji heard this sentence, he immediately knew what Queen Xue had planned.
Palace affairs are the easiest thing to hit a person, and as the master of the harem, Queen Xue knows this very well.
Is this Queen Xue’s plan?
"First update!"
