Why are you so anxious?

Hearing this, Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou looked at each other.Jun Shaoyou couldn't help asking: "Even if Jun Rouran planned it this way, the rules in the palace are strict and there are many eyes and ears. As a daughter of the palace, how can she do whatever she wants?"

Concubine Chen smiled slightly, and said: "If she relied on her own strength, she would naturally have no way to get what she wanted. But if I help her secretly, things will naturally be much easier to handle."

"But why did Auntie do this?" This time it was Zhuang Lin who didn't understand.

Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows, and said with a sarcasm: "Didn't the empress want to use Jun Rouran to disgust you and Shaoyou? In this case, I will naturally repay him with the same way. Only in this way can I solve the pain in my heart." hatred."

For such a small thing, he pushed his husband to another woman?

Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin were dumbfounded when they heard it. It really was a needle in the bottom of a woman's heart, which made people very puzzled.

Seeing this shape, Concubine Chen smiled and said: "There is an old saying that once you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea. Once a woman enters the palace, the first thing to remember is to let go of those useless thoughts. If you want to live more freely You must keep in mind that your Majesty is not an ordinary person. He is the son of heaven, and he has three thousand beauties in the harem. If I were angry because he doted on other women, I would have been angry to death after so many years. In the homes of ordinary people, there are many men who have three wives and four concubines. This is how the world is, why should I force it."

Hearing this, Jun Shaoyou suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhuang Lin beside him.Zhuang Lin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Jun Shaoyou's palm, and interlocked his fingers.Jun Shaoyou exerted a little force on his palm, and held Zhuang Lin's palm tightly.

Concubine Chen sat upright and looked at the two with a little envy.Twenty years ago, she also had such emotion and satisfaction.She had also hoped that she would be single-minded and never leave each other, but it is a pity that the world has changed, the so-called vows of eternal love are just a dream after all, no match for the passage of time, and no match for power and power.

Concubine Chen sighed softly, a trace of confusion and melancholy appeared in the corners of her eyes and brows.She smiled slightly and said, "What's more, in such a position as this palace, His Majesty's favor is important, but it is not the only magic weapon for this palace to gain a foothold in the harem. As long as the two of you live well, the General Zhenguo's mansion will also have a smooth sailing in the previous court." Shun the water. Even if the beauty in the palace is like a crucian carp crossing the river, what effect will it have on the palace. Not to mention that Jun Rouran is just a middle-aged figure, with unsophisticated means and unsophisticated temperament. However, the Empress will not let her go without Ben Gong's planning. It is only a matter of me, and I can watch a good show, and at the same time make that bitch Empress reveal her jealous nature, so why not do it?"

In short, as long as it can make the empress unhappy, Concubine Chen has to do it.Even if someone else took advantage of her a little bit, Concubine Chen was still happy.

Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin were skeptical about Concubine Chen's words.If we only talk about the grievances and resentments between the concubine Chen and the queen, it is not surprising that the concubine Chen did this.However, Concubine Chen has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and she has been able to climb from a first wife who was forced to ask herself to go down to the position of concubine who has been in the limelight and monopolized favor for many years. .Otherwise, how could Concubine Chen have been able to enjoy herself for so many years in the harem that was in crisis every step of the way?

So the two of them didn't take seriously what Concubine Chen said before, that helping Jun Rouran enter the palace was just a way to vent their personal anger.However, the two still sincerely believed that no matter what Concubine Chen did, it would not hurt them.

That being the case, there is no need for the two of them to get to the bottom of it to find out.

Concubine Chen sat at the top, and she could see Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin's thoughts with a glance, and smiled in relief.

In fact, the reason why Concubine Chen helped Jun Rouran enter the palace was because Concubine Chen was keenly aware of Jun Rouran's hostility towards Jun Shaoyou.Perhaps for Jun Rouran, she thought she covered it up properly, and fooled Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou, who didn't understand women's minds.But her tricks on Concubine Chen, who has been immersed in the palace for many years, are really superficial.Back then, the queen was greedy for profit, and Pingyang was chaotic because she cared about it, and she never noticed Jun Rouran's ambition.But in Concubine Chen's view, since Jun Rouran can hold such impure thoughts, no matter what the means are, it will be a disaster if she lets her go.

However, Concubine Chen was detained in the harem, unable to do anything about the events of the previous dynasty.It's even more impossible to stare at Jun Rouran all the time and prevent her from plotting against the Yong'an Palace.That being the case, Concubine Chen simply resorted to tricks to make Jun Rouran get what she wanted at the banquet, and hinted that Jun Rouran would show an innocent remorse afterwards to win Jun Rouran's subconscious closeness.Jun Rouran thought she had succeeded in her treacherous scheme, but she didn't know that she had completely offended the queen's lineage by acting clever and defecting.

Now Emperor Yongqian is still a bit new to Jun Rouran, the queen is worried about Emperor Yonggan's mind and dare not do anything.But with Emperor Yongqian's love of flowers and sex, his temperament of liking the new and loathing the old.One day Jun Rouran will be abandoned by him.Until then, Jun Rouran is just a concubine, with a weak family background, unfavorable herself, and offended the empress, how can she have any good fruit to eat.

And as long as the queen can't hold back and takes action against Jun Rouran, Concubine Chen will immediately tell the matter to Emperor Yonggan.At that time, once the word that the queen is not tolerant comes out, it will definitely attract criticism from the harem.Even if his status cannot be shaken, at least he can disgust that bitch who pretends to be virtuous and generous all day long.

Concubine Chen can deal with Jun Rouran, who harbors malice towards the Yong'an Palace, without spending a single soldier. She only needs to watch the fire from the other side.Such a stealthy method of fighting in the palace is indeed beyond the reach of Jun Shaoyou and the other two.

It can be seen that the ruler is short and the inch is strong. As a man, he may not be able to solve all the things well.At least, Jun Shaoyou knew that Jun Rouran was a bad comer, but because of his reputation, he didn't want to teach him a lesson.On the contrary, it was the concubine Chen, but she just made a move to push the boat along with the current, and she fell into Jun Rouran's place of no return.It's ridiculous that Jun Rouran still thinks that she can play with everyone, but she doesn't know that she has become a shackle.

Jun Shaoyou glanced admiringly at Concubine Chen who was sitting upright and smiling calmly.Reminiscent of the side hall in Jiaofang Palace before, Jun Rouran shuddered involuntarily with her trust in Concubine Chen.

There is a saying that it is better to offend the villain than to offend the woman. This kind of plot of being sold and helping count the money really does not only exist in the story.Before, Jun Shaoyou sent someone to send a message to Concubine Chen, asking Concubine Chen to take care of her at today's banquet, but she was afraid that she would neglect something.But I didn't expect that Concubine Chen would kill and beat everyone without a trace of fireworks.No wonder the queen's family background is strong, and even occupying the title of the main palace, she can't compete with the concubine Chen.This person's methods in the city government are really not as bright as they appear.

Concubine Chen didn't know that in Jun Shaoyou's heart, a trace of fear and awe towards her had already risen faintly.Still angrily said: "In my opinion, the most hateful thing is this Pingyang. Since our Zhen Guogong is the main faction, we will definitely oppose the marriage, so we will plot you two unscrupulously. If you don't teach her some lessons , she thought that my Changji palace was made of mud, and she couldn't make it if she rubbed it."

Hearing this, Jun Shaoyou and the two of them were also angry.Zhuang Lin held Jun Shaoyou's hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "You have always had a lot of tricks, so you might as well think about it carefully. You can avoid the marriage, but you can't let Pingyang Bai take advantage of it."

As the eldest son of the emperor, Zhuang Lin enlisted in the army at a young age. He has made great military exploits and gained a great reputation.However, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was granted the title of King Yong'an to leave the palace and build a mansion.Therefore, I don't have much contact with my younger siblings on weekdays.What's more, Zhuang Lin has a loose temper. In his previous life, he fought so fiercely with Zhuang Zhou, and most of his actions were aboveboard.In the end, when he became a great treasure, when he dealt with the family line, he also thought of Pingyang as the wife of the young girl, so he imprisoned her in the princess mansion and raised her forever.It can be seen that he is human, generous and graceful.

However, Zhuang Lin, who was unwilling to argue with women, became seriously angry when Pingyang tried to use Jun Rouran to provoke their relationship.It can be seen that in Zhuang Lin's heart, Jun Shaoyou is his Ni Lin, and he has given up all the people who have been chasing hard for two lifetimes to have.Zhuang Lin paid too much to be able to reunite with Jun Shaoyou. Even if he held Jun Shaoyou in his palm in this life, he was afraid that his hand would not be high enough or stable enough, so how could he bear Pingyang's calculations.

Zhuang Lin was full of resentment, and Jun Shaoyou was naturally very unhappy.He frowned and thought about it.Then he smiled and said: "In fact, we have always disagreed with the marriage, but we think that our Da Chu won the battle, but still sent his daughter to the grassland to make a marriage, which really lost face. But if this matter can be handled from a different angle, I believe it will be fine." No one objected."

Zhuang Lin and Concubine Chen felt their hearts move and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Jun Shaoyou hooked the corners of his mouth with a smirk, and said gloatingly: "If the Northern Xiongnu can agree to let the prince come to the capital to marry the princess in person, and can live in the princess mansion in the capital forever after marriage. Then this marriage, we What's the point even if you agree?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Lin and Concubine Chen were dumbfounded.After being silent for a long time, Concubine Chen said incredulously: "Then the prince of the Northern Huns should come to Da Chu as his son-in-law, how could they agree? What's more, it was Shanyu who married Pingyang as the son-in-law of the Northern Huns. Yan family, how could the Xiongnu Shanyu give up his power and marry Da Chu?"

"The marriage marriage was proposed by them, we just put forward our request and threw it back to them. As for whether we agree or not, or who is called to get married, it is naturally up to them to judge by themselves, and it has nothing to do with us." Jun Shaoyou shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly.

Zhuang Lin and Concubine Chen looked at each other.In the end, I had to admire Jun Shaoyou for being extremely good at slanting swords.This idea is really unconstrained, unprecedented.

The three discussed in detail in the Changji Palace all afternoon, and early the next morning, Zhuang Lin entered the Taiji Palace to have a secret talk with Emperor Yongqian.The two discussed it from morning to sunset, and many ministers were very curious when they heard about it.Using all kinds of means to inquire openly and secretly, but in the end it was fruitless.

At the meeting of the Fifteenth National Congress, Zhuang Lin made a public remonstrance, imploring Emperor Yongqian to give priority to the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the state and the country, and agree to make peace.And in the memorial, he clearly proposed that the Northern Huns send the prince to Beijing to marry the princess.It was also proposed that the imperial court funded the construction of a concubine's mansion for the northern Xiongnu princes to live in Beijing after their wedding.

In order to show the greatness of Chu's grace and compassion for the people, Zhuang Lin proposed in the memorial that the dowry gifts from the Northern Xiongnu may be licensed not to be gold, silver and jewelry.Horses with good bloodlines should be used as dowry gifts, with thousands of stallions and mares each, and the rest should be filled with top-quality cattle and sheep, furs, and supplemented by the horse master who is best at raising horses on the grassland as a "dowry" to accompany the prince. Enter Beijing.In this way, it can not only avoid the suspicion that the Northern Huns mobilize the army and search for people's wealth, but also show that the Northern Huns are sincere and loyal to Da Chu.This kind of betrothal gift is not embarrassing for the Hun royal family, which is just stable and waiting to be rebuilt, and it is more meaningful than Da Chu's common jewelry and silk.

Considering that the new Shan Yukelu has always admired the culture of the Central Plains, Zhuang Lin also mentioned in the memorandum that the northern Huns can choose young people with high qualifications to accompany the prince to Beijing, and enter the Imperial Academy to learn the customs and etiquette of Dachu and educate them with articles.After completing their studies, they can return to the Xiongnu to serve the royal court. If they don't want to return to the grassland, they can also take part in the imperial examination in Dachu.

As soon as this memorial came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion in the court. There were those who agreed with it and those who opposed it.When Princess Anle heard the news in the princess mansion, she clapped her hands and laughed, and praised her endlessly.He did not hesitate to break the rules of not discussing politics for many years, and personally submitted a table to support Zhuang Linzhi's remonstrance.

Princess Anle's actions like this naturally affected a group of DPRK and Chinese officials who were hesitant and watching.Most of these officials are old courtiers who fought with the late emperor back then, but now most of them are in a semi-recluse state, and they don't easily speak up.There are even some civil and military officials who once belonged to Princess Anle. Because they admire Princess Anle's character, they unconditionally support all decisions of Princess Anle.

In this way, coupled with the lineage of military officers headed by the General Zhen Guo's Mansion, more than half of the officials in the court seconded Zhuang Lin's performance.Only some civil servants from aristocratic families who pay attention to rules and decency use males as their spouses, which is not decent. I am a dignified man, and I do not agree with Zhuang Lin's proposal on the grounds that things can be so absurd.

However, the remonstrance of the civil servants of the aristocratic family was not adopted by Emperor Yonggan after all.I don't know if he felt that the fact that the Xiongnu sent the prince to marry Da Chu really raised Da Chu's face, or because of some other reason, Emperor Yongqian finally made a quick decision on the marriage.Let the Xiongnu choose their own prince to go to Beijing to marry Princess Pingyang.In addition, it is also restricted that the age of the people selected by the Huns should not exceed twenty, the appearance should be upright, and the speech, behavior, and knowledge experience should not be too superficial.Otherwise, she is really not worthy of Princess Pingyang, the jewel in the palm of Emperor Yongqian.

As soon as the news came out, the Northern Huns were naturally in conflict.Shan Yukelu wept even more, thinking that the northern Xiongnu's desire to marry the princess was very sincere, and just now he proposed that if the princess married, he would no longer take concubines.However, Da Chu relied on his strong national strength to deliberately humiliate the Northern Huns.How can such a move embarrass the people on the grassland?

The Xiongnu Chanyu spoke sincerely and wept blood every word, but Zhuang Lin said, "If Shanyu can really do not love the country and the beauties, he might as well take the initiative to sit in others and go to Beijing to marry the princess by himself. The royal family of Da Chu will definitely treat Shanyu Yu respected him so much that he could even break the ancestral rules and seal Shan Yu as a king of a different surname to be honored and raised in Beijing. If Shan Yu can’t do it, it’s better to choose someone else for the princess as soon as possible. In this way, the relationship between the two countries can be maintained without delaying the single Yu's ambition. After all, things in this world are often unsatisfactory, and things can't always be as people want."

What he said left the Huns speechless, and even Da Chu Chaozhong looked sideways at Prince Yong'an's rare domineering.

Wang Zhuanglin of Yong'an has a generous nature, and his actions are calm and upright, with the style of a general.Never made such tricky and outlandish remarks.Everyone inevitably shifted their attention to the deep hidden Yong'an Palace. Jun Shaoyou, who had been living in seclusion for a long time, thought secretly in his heart.

For a time, the ruling and opposition parties talked a lot about the arrogance shown by King Yong'an's lineage.Some old ministers who advocate moderation and peace think that Zhuang Lin's aggressive attitude is not conducive to the relationship between the two countries, and implore Your Majesty to think twice.Emperor Yongqian didn't care about this, neither did anyone reprimand Zhuang Lin for his obviously inappropriate and crazy behavior, nor did he discuss the matter of marriage again.Instead, he said to the Xiongnu envoy: "The so-called marriage of relatives, the goodness of the two surnames, is like this between countries, but it is done for the stability of the alliance. However, since the establishment of the Da Chu dynasty, there has never been a marriage with a woman. I am noble As the son of heaven, every word and deed should be weighed again and again, and everything should be thoughtful. However, I work hard to govern, and take care of everything. I follow the example of the ancient Ming emperors to expand the territory and raise wealth for the people. But I don’t bother to exchange the body of a woman for the safety of the court. If the Xiongnu vassal state is serious If you wish to marry Qin and Jin, then send the prince to Beijing to get married."

Inside and outside the words, it is clearly stated that this is the final bottom line of the Da Chu court.

Kluben wanted to make a fuss about the marriage and seek benefits from it.Now he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.He didn't want to choose another person from the royal court to go to Beijing to marry Pingyang, because he was afraid that that person would take advantage of the situation and plan to gain Da Chu's trust and help to take his Shan Yu position instead.But he was reluctant to let it go, and instead of catching the fish, he made his whole body fishy.It is really a dilemma to hesitate like this.

In the harem, when Princess Pingyang learned of the turmoil caused by Yong'an Palace in the court in the past two days, her face turned pale with fright.Back then, she dared to plot against Zhuang Lin with confidence, but she was sure that Yong'an Palace, as the leader of the military, would never agree to such a humiliating and cowardly act as a marriage.Unexpectedly, she guessed the beginning correctly, but failed to guess the ending.Although the Yong'an Palace does not agree with women marrying far away in exchange for the stability of the frontier, it does not allow her to calculate and remain indifferent.However, within a few days, she came up with such a vicious and vicious idea, which simply meant ruining her happiness for the rest of her life.

After seeing the whole story of the matter, Princess Pingyang trembled with anger, resentment and remorse, she shouldn't have caused trouble at such a critical moment.But things have already happened, it is useless to say more, Princess Pingyang can only use all her skills to lobby those aristocratic civil servants, old clansmen, and use their ancestors as an excuse, absolutely cannot let Yongan Palace's treachery succeed.

For the queen and the second prince Zhuang Zhou, if Princess Pingyang married the Northern Xiongnu and they still had something to gain, then asking Pingyang to marry the prince of the Xiongnu who came to marry him would not be worth the candle.Zhuang Zhou was not even sure whether he could sit in that chair, how could he have the leisure to support an irrelevant person to fight for power and profit.At that time, they might as well find a son-in-law of a meritorious family to be their husband-in-law for Pingyang, at least it can play a role in dividing the military forces.

So, as Jun Shaoyou expected, the Queen's lineage began to express its attitude against Zhuang Linzhi's advice.Together with the aristocratic and wealthy families, they wrote letters one after another to impeach Yong'an Wang Zhuanglin for acting carelessly and not focusing on the stability of the country.Treating the diplomatic relations between the two countries as child's play, intending to provoke a war.

Even though what is said in the memorial is so high-sounding, it is really hard to hide the ugly words and deeds at the beginning and the end.

And under such turbulent circumstances, Jun Rouran, the eldest daughter of Duke Protector's Mansion, was sent into the palace by a carriage.Because the reason for her entering the palace was really dishonorable, and Emperor Yongqian had to take care of the face of the Duke of Liguo, so Jun Rouran's grade when she entered the palace was not high, she was just a mere fifth-rank Jieyu.

And as the eldest daughter of the Founding Duke's Mansion, if she enters the palace seriously, she can at least be a good girl of the fourth rank.

However, Jun Rouran didn't care about this matter.At this moment, she is immersed in the fantasy of pampering the sixth house and cannot extricate herself.But she didn't know what kind of terrible reality she would face in the end after entering the palace.

Once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, it doesn't just mean that Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on.That means that all your previous dignity and pride will disappear, and from now on, a woman's gains and losses are all in the emperor's pillow, and all in the thoughts of the concubines in the harem.

Jun Rouran didn't know what path she had chosen. She ambitiously walked into the vast and deep palace with her only package and a dowry servant.And in another corner of the capital, in the Yong'an Palace, Jun Shaoyou, her imaginary enemy, was lying on the bed of a beauty, reading in the morning light.Beside him, Zhuang Lin reached out to peel a grape and threw it into Jun Shaoyou's mouth, so the two looked at each other and smiled, the sky was bright and demonic.
