When drastic changes took place outside the imperial court of the Song Dynasty and Prime Minister Ding Daquan was arrested, in the deep palace, Dong songchen and Yan Guifei, who were in charge of the inner party, were discussing in a secret room.
Yan Guifei looks worried, and her former beauty has lost its luster. She looks very helpless.
"Niang Niang, I heard that after you know that Ding Xiangye has been arrested, you seldom eat in these days. If you go on for a long time, I'm afraid your Phoenix body will collapse. That's not right!" Dong songchen is concerned about Tao.
Imperial concubine Yan sighed and said, "manager Dong, you and I are in the back palace. It can be said that the imperial concubine's godfather Ding Xiangye is the only one outside the palace. Now that Ding Xiangye has been arrested, do you think I can still eat?"
"The more time it is, the more you have to cheer up. Otherwise, the princess living in qingyalou will be more proud. It's not your style to lose first for the war." Dong songchen said.
Yan Guifei said: "but now the godfather has been arrested by the housekeeper. Later, the officials are afraid that they will not be so lucky to me."
"Niang Niang, you are a little confused now. You are a little too pessimistic about this matter." Dong songchen said.
After hearing this, Yan Guifei asked suspiciously, "what do you mean, Mr. Dong?"
"Think about it. The evidence about Ding song, the son of Ding Xiangye's family, is solid. He was caught on the spot. But after the emperor knew that Ding Xiangye's father and son had done these things, he just put Ding song in prison. Now Ding Xiangye is only imprisoned in his prime minister's residence, but he has not been put into prison. The officials do this, madam. Don't you think about it It means something else Dong songchen asked.
Yan Guifei has been in the palace for quite a long time, and she has seen a lot of fights in the palace. After getting the hint from Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, she bowed her head and thought, and said, "does the emperor not want to kill Ding Xiangye?"
"There's no need to say that. It's for sure. Even if Mr. Ding Xiangye didn't know what his son Ding song did, what he did was a big crime of treason. With the crime of involvement alone, the emperor could sentence him with a crime of beheading. Besides, if he said he didn't know it, who would believe it?" Dong songchen said.
Hearing these words, Yan Guifei's spirit could not help but be shocked and said: "Mr. Dong, when you say that, I think we still have great hope."
After that, she picked up the bowl of cold bird's nest on the table and began to drink it.
Seeing Yan Guifei's look, Dong songchen said: "don't look at me, Dong is not a real man, but in this harem, if it comes to coaxing women and comforting their hearts, I'm afraid no one can surpass me."
Dong songchen was very interested. When he saw that Yan Guifei was eating, he lowered his head and pretended to be looking at the ground without saying a word.
After waiting for Yan Guifei to finish eating, Dong songchen said: "Niang Niang, do you feel much better now?"
"After eating the bird's nest for so many years, I didn't feel that the bird's nest is delicious. But today, I feel that this bowl of bird's nest is incomparably sweet. It's really a rare delicacy in the world." Yan Guifei put down her bowl and whistle.
After hearing this, Dong songchen laughed to himself and said, "there is no difference between the bird's nest in the past and today's bowl. It's just that you are hungry today, concubine Yan."
Naturally, he would not talk to Yan Guifei about these thoughts in his heart. He replied, "madam, if you like to drink, then the slave will go back and ask the imperial dining room to use the bird's nest from the South China Sea to make Tremella bird's nest for you every day."
"I don't need to. I know that the South China Sea Bird's nest pays less than ten jin to the Imperial Palace every year. Mr. Dong, you'd better keep it for the emperor. I'm just a concubine in the back palace. How can I compete with the emperor for these?" Yan Guifei shook her head and said.
"Niang Niang, you are kind-hearted, but you know, the Nanhai bird's nest God is not willing to drink it. Recently, it's Princess Jia who is drinking it." Dong songchen said.
After hearing this, Yan Guifei almost jumped up and said, "what, this bitch dares to drink the bird's nest, which is a tribute to the emperor. It's really exasperating and hateful!"
"What can I do? Jia looks like a concubine, but she is pregnant with dragon seed. Today's emperor has only one princess, and this princess is also born of Jia." Dong songchen said.
Yan Guifei said: "yes, if Jia Guifei, a slut, has another Prince this time, then her status in the harem is that the empress is also courteous to her."
"That's right. As long as this princess Jia gives birth to a prince, as the only prince of the Emperor today, plus the promotion of Jia Sidao, I'm afraid she will be made the crown prince." Dong songchen said.
Dong songchen then said: "at present, our first thing is to find a way to save Ding Xiangye."
"But how to save it? Jia Sidao was bent on killing Ding Xiangye." Yan Guifei said.
Dong songchen looked at Yan Guifei and said with a smile, "this thing can't be done by other people at the moment. It depends on you.""What can I do with me?" Yan Guifei said.
Without waiting for Dong songchen to answer, Yan Guifei said, "you know, the emperor can forbid the concubines in the harem to interfere in the government."
"Who asked you to interfere in the government?" Dong songchen said.
Yan Guifei said, "how can I save it? "
Dong songchen said:" you don't have to say from the perspective of court politics that Ding Xiangye is the godfather of your concubine. Today's emperor is the ultimate filial piety. You can do it from the perspective of family affection and filial piety. "
" it seems that father-in-law Dong knows the most about the saints today. When you meet something, you know how to say it, and the emperor will agree. "Yan Guifei said.
When Dong songchen heard what Yan Guifei said, he said with pride: "of course, I've been following today's officials for decades. I don't know what he thinks, what he likes and what he wants to do every day. At least I know something about it. "
" what's the second thing you said? "Asked Princess Yan.
Dong songchen said: "we have discussed this matter before. "
" what are you talking about? "Asked Yan Guifei.
Dong songchen's voice became smaller, and he replied: "that's what we once said. We should let Princess Jia fall out of favor, or let her pregnant child not be born. "
" I've been thinking about what you said for a long time, but this lady Jia is very cautious, and the queen takes good care of her, so she has never had a chance. "Yan Guifei said.
Dong songchen said: "if you have been waiting for the chance in this world, it will never be. "
" what do you want me to do? "Asked Yan Guifei.
Dong songchen replied: "opportunities are created by people. "
" how to make it? "Yan Guifei then asked.
Dong songchen, the general manager of the University, replied: "madam, are you doing what I told you to make you pretend to be pregnant? "
" it's already started, but you know, we can't see our pregnancy growing up by ourselves step by step. In that case, no one will believe it. You don't know the rules in the harem. There are records about the official family spoiling the concubine every night. I can't stay in the official family without my concubine When we are together, we say we are pregnant. "Yan Guifei said.
Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, said: "in my opinion, the heat of pretending to be pregnant is almost the same. You can say that you are pregnant in the past two days. "
" as long as my imperial concubine has announced that she is pregnant with dragon seed, then the official family will ask the imperial doctor of Taiyuan hospital to feel for my imperial concubine. This imperial doctor is very experienced. He can't see how it happened. If he wants to tell the official family, she has committed the crime of deceiving you. "Yan Guifei said.
The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace said: "Oh, my lady, do you really think so? Have you forgotten that there are old slaves in this harem, and the imperial manager of the imperial palace is supporting you? "
" I see. "Yan Guifei said with a mysterious smile.
The eunuch in charge of the Imperial College said: "as long as there is an old slave, even if she is not pregnant, the imperial doctor will say that you are pregnant. You can rest assured. "
" but this paper can't hold fire after all. Even if it passes the imperial medical examination, the next thing is not easy to do. In the end, my wife still has to give birth to a baby! "Yan Guifei said.
The eunuch, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, said, "no one has ever let your concubine come out for the rest of your life! "
" not born? "Yan Guifei asked suspiciously.
The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace replied: "yes, in the end, you can't be born. In fact, you are also a killer of the old slave. "
after that, he said something in the ear of Yan Guifei.
After hearing this, Yan Guifei said: "Mr. Dong, it seems that Jiang is still old and hot. Your tactics are really powerful. It's just one move after another. In my opinion, before long, she will be completely dead. "
" that is to say, Niang Niang, you can also show your charm and let today's officials favor you a lot. You know, as a concubine of the harem, if you want to really stabilize your position in the harem, you must have your own offspring. Otherwise, it will be regarded as the old slave who helped you defeat Princess Jia, and then there will be princess Zhang and Princess Li It's a threat. "The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dong songchen, said.
Yan Guifei said: "Mr. Dong, with the relationship between you and me, I tell you the truth. In fact, I'm very worried. But what can I do? I can't bear it all the time. "
" besides, the queen has no children, so she has always been the queen, and no one has ever threatened her position. " Yan Guifei then disagreed.
Dong songchen said: "lady, if you say something, I may not like it. I don't know if you want to hear it."
"We all share weal and woe. What else can't be said. "Yan Guifei said.
Dong songchen said: "the Empress Dowager Xie was chosen by herself. At the beginning, the officials didn't want to, but in the end, they obediently obeyed the Empress Dowager's orders. As long as the Empress Dowager is here, the empress's status is as stable as Mount Tai, but you can't have such a high status in the Empress Dowager's mind, can you?"After hearing this, Yan Guifei could not help but be silent and said in her heart, "what Dong songchen said is really reasonable. "
that's what Dong songchen said in this chamber of secrets. If he really went out of this chamber of secrets, although he was the general manager of the Imperial Palace, Yan Guifei was the imperial concubine in the harem. He was just a slave, a master and a slave. He didn't dare to go too far Indulgence.
They had been talking in this chamber for about an hour. In the
, the power of the harem was fundamentally intertwining, and the eyes of the various forces were also numerous. After they talked about these things, Dong Songchen and the senior general manager, they came out together.
Under the leadership of Dong songchen, they came to the imperial Library of emperor LiZong.
Emperor LiZong had nothing to do at this time. He was playing with crickets.
After hearing the eunuch's report that Yan Guifei came to see him, he thought about it and asked Dong song's minister Xuan to come in and meet him.
When Yan Guifei came in, she was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and her clothes were in a mess. When she came into the imperial study, she fell on her knees and burst into tears when she saw emperor LiZong.
"Aifei, what's the matter with you? Why are you so sad? "Emperor LiZong's inexplicable way.
He quickly got up from the chair, came to the front of Yan Guifei, helped her up and let her sit on one side of the chair.
Yan Guifei sobbed: "housekeeper, please treat my concubine's crime."
"Aifei, what's the matter with you? Why do I treat you for no reason?" Emperor LiZong asked.
Yan Guifei replied: "my brother and father and son have committed the great crime of treason. As their relatives, my concubine is also a capital crime. Therefore, I ask your majesty to punish me."
"Ah, there is only one sin that they don't love, but they don't love each other so much." Li Zong emperor road.
Imperial concubine Yan said: "I know this is your majesty. You love me. However, you are the emperor of the Song Dynasty. You can't think that your favorite concubine will protect me. In this case, I'm afraid some ministers in the court are not convinced."
"Who dares to be unconvinced? I am the son of the Song Dynasty. If I can't even protect my beloved imperial concubine, but I have to be subject to my servants, then I will be the emperor for nothing." Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty was excited.
Yan Guifei said: "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me that I don't know what to say."
"I have good news for your majesty." Yan Guifei continued.
