MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 82
Feng Sheng joined in halfway, but actually he didn't quite understand.
But I can roughly hear some meaning, the general idea is that Wei Wangfu is currently gathering forces, turning the light into darkness.
This is what King Wei meant. Two of his staff members seem to have some opinions and have been urging him to reconsider, because once they are closed, there will inevitably be losses, and this loss is irreparable in the later stage.
But Wei Wang is very stubborn, since he has made a decision, it is difficult for anyone to change it.
The atmosphere was inevitably stagnant, and Feng Sheng felt a gaze fall on him. She looked over and saw a man dressed as a scribe, about forty years old, who had just persuaded King Wei to consider one of them.
There was resentment hidden in his eyes, Feng Sheng knew why he saw him so.
"Your Highness is right. Now that the crown prince is deposed, it is the time when His Majesty's suspicions are on the rise. Instead of showing off, it is better to give the limelight to others."
In the silence, a female voice sounded, and it was Feng Sheng who spoke.
For a moment, the eyes of the people present flickered again and again, whether they answered or not.
Mao Dan looked over, and said with a smirk: "Wangfei said so, I am afraid it is selfish."
As soon as these words came out, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.
Zuo Yi had known for a long time that this friend was rebellious by nature, and never expected that he would do such a reckless thing. It is obvious that the King of Wei loves the Princess, even if he feels aggrieved in his heart, he just endures it, why bother to say it face to face, it is not his fault.
He didn't know that Mao Dan had been with the King of Wei for many years, and saw that he had worked hard and lost everything, and all of this was for a woman. He had resentment in his heart, and he couldn't vent his anger on King Wei, so he couldn't help venting his anger on Feng Sheng. He even planned to leave Prince Wei's mansion when King Wei was furious. None.
Who would have thought that Feng Sheng didn't show any shame, but said indifferently: "I am one body with His Royal Highness, what selfishness can I have?"
King Wei's originally raised eyebrows suddenly fell, and he felt better for a while, and he took the tea at hand to drink.
"You only saw how much His Highness lost, but you missed the emperor's heart. Why did the crown prince fall? Could it be because of a Fang Fengfu? It's just that everyone wants him to fall, and the person who most wants him to fall is none other than His Majesty."
"It's ridiculous! Your Majesty has always wanted to protect the crown prince, and everyone knows it."
"So if you say you are short-sighted, don't deny it. If His Majesty doesn't want him to fall, can Fang Fengfu come to the capital? The dignified salt transport envoys can die of illness on the way to the capital. How can a Fang Fengfu, He De, not die of illness? If Your Majesty really wants to protect Let alone Fang Fengfu going to Beijing, if he can’t even speak a word in Dali Temple, his soul will return to Jiuyou.”
When she said these words, Feng Sheng's expression was extremely cold, she kept her eyes down drinking tea, and only said "Don't deny it" before she looked up at Mao Dan.
With just one glance, Mao Dan was stunned.
And King Wei frowned unconsciously when he heard her die one by one.
"The prince has been the prince for more than 20 years. The power of the prince has long threatened the imperial power. Even if the dignified emperor wants to abolish him, he must have some reason on the table. Let's assume that the most important thing is to abolish the prince. His Majesty, what will he do next?"
On the surface, Emperor Jianping didn't want to abolish the prince. He did too many things, both openly and secretly, to prevent the prince from being abolished. Unfortunately, he was powerless. If all this was just a play of the emperor's mind, then he, who was over fifty years old, had a peaceful dragon body, and wanted to be an emperor for decades, would definitely use someone to frame the prince to cleanse him.
Clean who?
Naturally, those sons who made great efforts in the deposed prince.
The father is weak and the son is strong, this is the last thing an emperor wants to see, especially the sons below have grown up over time. During that period of being imprisoned in Dali Temple, Feng Sheng kept thinking, since Emperor Jianping wanted to kill her, why did he go to such lengths to **** her to Beijing, and even let those officials perform with her in Dali Temple.
Do you really want to protect the crown prince?
No, from the very beginning, Feng Sheng's ultimate move against the prince was that Emperor Jianping also wanted to abolish the prince. All her plans were aimed at this. If Emperor Jianping wanted to protect the prince, she would not have come to this point. Since it's not Prince Bao, there must be some conspiracy. The only possibility Feng Sheng can think of is to test and cleanse.
Not only to test the prince's family, but also to test other princes, whoever intends to seek a high position, who secretly hides his strength. When a big enough pie hangs in the air, it is enough to make everyone lose their minds.
And she is the rope that hangs the cake. Perhaps her identity and even her plot are already under the control of Emperor Jianping. She was never the one who pushed this game of chess, but Emperor Jianping was.
Since even her plot can be counted, can the things that King Wei concealed be hidden? Probably the king of Wei also thought of this, so he broke the boat and confessed everything in front of Emperor Jianping, and expressed his position through a love affair between his sons and daughters.
Mao Dan was in a cold sweat thinking about it, the others were no better than him, if the only ones in the room were calm, probably only Wei Wang and Feng Sheng.
"As a counselor, you should be remarkable and loyal enough to His Highness, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here. I say you are short-sighted, not in a derogatory sense, but your position has always been at the level of a counselor, not An emperor, not even a prince. The prince can have the prestige at that time, all of which come from his majesty, and when he wants to take it back, he can easily take it back. How do you know that everything your majesty has now is not from his acquiescence , since this is the case, is it difficult to choose between taking and giving up?"
Of course, it is difficult to choose. In fact, this crux is not unexpected to everyone, and many people can understand it. But who can really give up completely if they really taste the taste of power and even approach that position step by step?
When you give up, you are gambling, not only your life, but also your luck.
"My husband, the virtue of the heaven and the earth, the brightness of the sun and the moon, the order of the four seasons, the good and bad luck of the ghosts and gods, the inborn and the heavens, and the acquired and the heavens. The sky is not against, but it is human Huh? How about ghosts and gods? ①"
This passage has thousands of interpretations, and even many talented people can make many colorful articles based on it, but Feng Sheng can explain it, nothing more than one sentence, following the trend.
This is what her father taught her, and it is also the secret of their Fang family's ancestry, which is only passed down to the direct line. She used to be very curious about what it was that was so mysterious, but she never thought that it was just a sentence, a word known to the world.
But few people can really do it.
For this reason, she deliberately wrote it on the fan, reminding herself all the time.
After leaving these words, Feng Sheng left, because she thought of Fang Yan.
…
The room was still silent, but it was broken by the light sound of King Wei placing the teacup.
"Everything is going according to plan."
This time, no one raised any objections.
King Wei stepped out of the study and saw Feng Sheng standing in the corridor.
She was wearing a pair-breasted summer gown with silk tapestry in the color of concubine Xiang, a snow-blue pleated skirt with pearls embedded in the skirt, and a few butterflies embroidered on the corner of the skirt. She stood with her back facing Wei Wang, her figure was tall and graceful, she was so slender, but people dare not underestimate her.
King Wei walked over and embraced her from behind.
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about my dad. I've been too busy these years, and I haven't thought about him for a long time."
King Wei let out an oh, and the ending sound rose.
"I'm wondering why the man who taught me died so easily. Is it really like what Uncle Yu said, some things he knows he can't do, but he still does it, even at the expense of his own life?" , Feng Sheng has always been unable to let go of Fang Yan's death.
Hearing the bewilderment in her tone, King Wei sighed lightly and stroked her fingers: "Don't think too much, the matter is over. Wait until everything is done. I will accompany you back to Shaoxing."
Fang Yan moved the tomb and entered the ancestral grave, which was all arranged by Uncle Yu. For the sake of the wedding, Feng Sheng never went back to see it.
"Okay." Feng Sheng nodded, and said again: "When we come back from Shaoxing, let's open an academy."
"Academy?"
"You prince, do you really drop everything and do nothing?"
Of course not, I just have to hold on to that degree. If I really do nothing, I will give my life to others. This is not the character of King Wei.
"So opening an academy is a pretty good choice."
King Wei and Feng Sheng set off for Shaoxing.
Before leaving, the two entered the palace to bid farewell to Concubine Li.
It can be seen that Concubine Li is living a good life recently, with smiles on her face and eyes. The King of Wei has placed someone in the palace, who knows that Concubine Li has recently been favored.
In the past, Concubine Li was favored because her favor had lasted for more than 20 years. No matter how many newcomers entered the palace, Emperor Jianping would always visit her several times a month. But this time is completely different from the past. For more than a month, Emperor Jianping has only entered the harem more than a dozen times, and every time he came to Xianfu Palace, and occasionally called Concubine Li to Qianqing Palace to accompany him, so Li The concubine has been in the limelight recently in the palace.
Compared with the empress, Emperor Jianping hadn't been there for a long time. Combined with the abolition of the crown prince, the situation of Kunning Palace was very bad. Many people brought up the old story again, saying that Empress Chen raised a concubine Li, and in the end she became her opponent.
However, those people pass on those people, and they are still living their personal lives, and they have their own taste of sweet and sour.
"It's good for you to go out for a while. It's not peaceful in and out of the palace recently. Don't worry about the concubine mother. The concubine mother has lived in this palace for decades and knows how to make herself happy."
Concubine Li sent off her son and daughter-in-law with a smile, but Feng Sheng felt a little sour in her heart.
"It would be great if one day I could pick up my concubine mother." Although Concubine Li kept smiling, Feng Sheng could tell that she didn't like the palace.
King Wei tightened his hands: "There will be a day."
