All Hail Cousin Brother

The empress didn't care and chuckled: "Money is an external possession. Princess Shaoyi is the only princess in the Zhou Dynasty who was granted the title of chief within three generations. Her status is second only to the queen. What priceless treasure can't be afforded? ?! Since she is a meritorious concubine, the Ai family rewards her highly, which also reflects the Ai family's virtue."

Aunt Danhong said quickly: "What the Queen said is true."

"It's just that it's a pity after all," the Empress sighed softly, and then said: "Princess Shao Yichang is as good as water. Water benefits all things without fighting. If you don't fight, if you attack the strong, nothing can win. If you don't do anything, you can do anything." , Such a good reputation as a virtuous person is not only due to a famous family, but also two merit archways in the family, both direct and long-term. There is no such decent person. If he is matched with the fourth emperor, the battle for the throne should also be It’s a conclusion.”

Aunt Danhong didn't dare to say anything.

The Empress Dowager picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said quietly: "The Empress Dowager doesn't want me to get involved in the fight for the reserve. During this period, it has been fought many times overtly and secretly. But, if the Ai family is No fight, who will help me avenge the blood debt of hundreds of lives in the Ningguo Palace? Who will help me avenge the pain and revenge of losing a son? "

When she said this, the Queen's face was slightly sallow, but she was still calm and peaceful, as if she didn't see any haze or resentment, she just said it casually.

But no one knew that hatred turned into the flames of revenge, burning blazingly in her heart.

Her whole heart was melted, calcined, cast, hammered, and tempered over and over again with the blood of hundreds of people in Ningguo Duke's palace and her beloved son, to create a sword of revenge.

Aunt Danhong lowered her head, wishing she could plug her ears.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager changed the subject with just one word: "The Empress Dowager thinks that blocking the Ai family's plan to plot Princess Shaoyi's marriage can stop me?" She laughed silently, laughing like crazy. Stinging and cool: "It's wrong, it's a big mistake."

The giggles echoed in the room, like ghosts, and wisps of coldness climbed up her back, which was creepy. Aunt Danhong subconsciously held her breath and did not dare to take a breath.

"Although Yu Youyao has been granted the title of princess, she is only second to the queen in status. The Ai family is really not good. If she continues to make a big fuss about receiving heavy rewards and plotting against her marriage," based on this, in the eyes of the queen, , revealed a crazy calculation: "Princess Shao Yichang is the daughter of the Yu family. She was educated by the Yu family and received the kindness of the Yu family. She was sealed to heaven. The word 'filial piety' came down on her head. Princess Shao Yichang With the Yu family, we are still both prosperous and devastated."

The room became quiet again.

Until Aunt Danhong, I almost thought that the Queen would never mention this again.

The empress suddenly smiled and said: "The more she valued Princess Shao Yichang, the more reluctant the Ai family was to let go. Now she is even more interested in assigning Princess Shao Yichang to King Wu Muding of the North. She has taken a fancy to the Yu family. The whole family is loyal and loyal, and they try to use the Yu family's daughter to contain the ambition of King Wu Muding of the North."

Most of the men of the Yin family have the problem of infatuation. To put it bluntly, they are heroes who are short of breath. There were rumors outside earlier that Yin Huaixi was in love with Princess Shao Yichang. When Princess Shao Yichang arrived in Liaodong, Yin Huaixi personally led people to welcome her. The "Yu Garden" where Princess Yichang lived, I heard it was also Yin Huai's seal, so she personally ordered people to repair it.

Earlier, she only listened and didn't care.

Now that I think about it, this rumor is not groundless, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have made such an arrangement.

"The Yu clan has been in decline for many years. Although it is not as good as many of the old nobles in the court, the competition for the crown prince, orphans, and legacy has never been about family status, but about people like the Yu clan, who have a rich heritage and are full of loyalty and loyalty. As far as I know, veterans of the Yu clan participated in the final edicts of all the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty."

The Yu clan has a merit monument given by Emperor Gaozu, which is the best protective umbrella. The Yu clan has a great reputation among literati. To this day, the Yu clan's family school is a place of "pilgrimage" for thousands of students.

This was also the reason why she had targeted the Yu clan with her plan early on.

"The Empress Dowager has seen the huge influence of the Yu clan on the fight for the reserve throne. Considering that the Yu clan is at odds with Concubine Lan and Concubine Xu, in order to prevent the Yu clan from getting involved in the fight for the reserve throne, she has to think about it in advance for the Yu clan. With the retreat route, and with the backing of King Wu Muding of the North, no matter who will take over the throne of the Zhou Dynasty in the future, no one will dare to touch the Yu clan."

The Yu clan can rest easy now, who will get involved in those head-dropping things? Aren't you full and holding on? Too idle to do anything, seeking death? !

It can be said that it is a double plan.

Even she couldn't help but admire the Queen Mother's far-reaching plan.

"But," the Queen Mother smiled deeply: "The Queen Mother's plan is right, but at the same time, it has also strengthened the Yu family. With such a powerful help, how can the Ai family let go so easily?"

Danhong's heart trembled, she knew that whoever the Queen wanted to plot against would eventually achieve her goal.

This time, although there were some mistakes in the calculation of Princess Shao Yichang.

But in fact, the Queen Mother's plan was still successful, but the Queen Mother could not openly disobey the Queen Mother, disrespect the Queen Mother, and was unwilling to compete with King Wu Muding of the North, so she stopped the plan.

The empress suddenly asked: "I remember that Master Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the chief minister of the cabinet, has a legitimate daughter. What is her name? Do you know her age and whether she is engaged?"

Aunt Danhong quickly replied: "This girl's name is Shuangbai. She is the second daughter of the family. She is thirteen years old this year and will be fourteen in the second half of the year. Because Mrs. Yu passed away suddenly, Miss Yu has to observe mourning for her grandmother for one year. She has not yet engagement."

The Empress said thoughtfully: "They are about the same age."

Aunt Danhong seemed to be strangled by a pair of invisible hands. She was a little breathless for a moment, and she understood what the Queen meant just now by "Everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers".

The plot against Princess Shaoyi failed, and the same was true for Miss Yu.

As long as the Yu family is pulled onto the Queen's ship, the Yu family will still be used by the Queen. Princess Shaoyi is the daughter of the Yu family, so she will naturally contribute to the family.

In addition, Second Miss Yu, as the legitimate daughter of the chief minister, has both parents, and as the fourth prince's concubine, she is more upright and docile than Princess Shao Yichang.

really!

The Empress smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I have heard about Master Yu's first wife, Yao, in the early years. Yao's family was noble and noble, and she also had a noble character. On the surface, she looked gentle and generous, but in fact, she was gentle and generous. He is very proud of himself and eager to win."

Danhong didn't dare to say more.

However, I understand in my heart.

The Queen said it was a "coincidence", but in fact it was not a coincidence. She understood early on the influence of the Yu clan in the fight for the heirloom, and aimed her plan at the Yu clan. She thought about it from top to bottom. all over.
