Cannon Fodder Strategy

The more Gao thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She tried her best to straighten her body and said:

"You're talking nonsense! Your Majesty, this bitch An Xue is talking nonsense, slandering my father as dead, and saying that it was the emperor who said it. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, she curses my father. I have warned her, but But she didn't listen and repeatedly made provocations. The concubine was really angry, so she stretched out her hand and slapped her. Maybe An Xue knew that Liu Concubine had the emperor's flesh and blood in her belly, so she hit her on purpose. And he cursed my concubine's father to provoke me and make me take action." Mrs. Gao felt aggrieved and embarrassed at the moment. She and Zhou Baihe were carried into Liang He's crown prince's womb, and she and Liang He We have been together for more than three years: "Your Majesty also knows my character. Why did I reach out to hit her for no reason? I even thought my hands were dirty!"

After hearing this, Emperor Yongming's eyes turned gloomy, and he turned to look at Empress Dowager Lu. Empress Dowager Lu stared at him with a smile. As soon as the eyes of Emperor Yongming and Empress Dowager Lu collided, Emperor Yongming took the lead in turning his face away, and the corner of Empress Dowager Lu's mouth He hooked up gently.

"The Yungui people are guilty. For the sake of being pregnant, they were banned for three months and copied scriptures for the Queen Mother." Because Liu Concubine suffered such a serious crime for no reason, her rank was raised one level and she was named Wanyi, while De Fei She had already been punished, and Emperor Yongming only allowed her to be confined in the palace for ten days. As for Lily and Concubine Xian, although they seemed to be staying out of the matter, Emperor Yongming still said: "Concubine Guifei and Concubine Xian saw them fighting, but they didn't know what to do. Stop it, and everyone will be banned for ten days."

There were not many women of high rank in the palace, so after such a ban, almost no one came to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Lu.

Concubine Xian felt that she had suffered an unreasonable disaster. Standing and watching the play also suffered. Although I was happy that the child in Liu Bin's belly was gone, I also secretly hated Yun Guiren for acting so quickly. It took her two years to enter the palace. There has been no news in the stomach. Yungui people are lucky. They have only been sleeping for more than a month, and now there is news in the stomach.

It's a pity that this time Yungui's life is at risk. The meat in Liu Wanyi's belly was gone, but her belly was left behind.

Emperor Yongming said with a gloomy face, and everyone was separated. Gao and others were all angry, but they had to endure the anger in their hearts and knelt down to express their gratitude.

After coming out of Fengming Hall, Mrs. Gao was no longer a virtuous concubine, so naturally she was not qualified to ride in a small chariot. She was already a little out of line, and her father and brother were on the war expedition recently. The emperor favored her and used a chariot that was beyond the specifications she could use. Now that she has been stripped of her position as a concubine, she is not even the fourth concubine. Naturally, she can no longer ride on this thing.

Concubine Xian curled her lips, looking at Mr. Gao's cold face, and gloated:

"Hey, sister Zhaoyi, you have to be more careful. The emperor was only worried about the piece of meat in Liu Wanyi's belly for a moment, so he struck a little harder. Sister Gao only needed to go back and get something to apply it, and the redness and swelling disappeared immediately. Mix some pearl cream and put it on, and your skin will probably be whiter and tenderer than it is now." When Concubine Xian was betrayed by An Xue, Concubine De at that time had laughed at her for a long time with Liu Wanyi, but now It can be said that the situation has changed, and it is time for her to laugh at Mr. Gao.

This Gao family relied on the status of the Gao family to advance to the Prince's East Palace before him. Ever since the wise concubine Guo was brought into the East Palace, she had been in trouble at every turn. Concubine Xian had endured it again and again before, but now her smile was as bright as a flower, and every word she spoke pierced into Gao's heart.

Gao's cheeks were burning and hurting when Emperor Yongming first hit her. She still felt her face was burning, but now the pain emerged after the incident. The skin on the corners of her mouth was broken, and the pain was severe when she moved. After she was kicked, her body was still trembling. After hearing Concubine Xian's squeeze, she was so angry that her chest couldn't help heaving. After a while, she sneered. He said: "Hmph, if An Xue dares to plot against me today, he will be able to plot against you tomorrow. Don't be too proud. If you hunt geese all day long, you may be blinded by geese one day. She came from your side, I can bite you back, so it's not surprising that I've been tricked now!" She was so angry that she didn't even use the self-identification that represented her status. After finishing her words, Mrs. Gao didn't even look at Concubine Xian. That pretty face snorted: "Let's go!"

The concubine who used to be aloof and aloof is now in an unspeakable embarrassment. The king's favor is like a sharp sword that symbolizes power. It can not only represent one's own identity and be majestic for a while, but it can also hurt others with the sword in hand. , this sword can also hurt yourself if you are not careful. There was a bit of desolation in Gao's back, and her face was very pale when she walked, and her steps were still a little staggering. When the sound of "clicking" in the snow came, although there was a smile on Lily's lips, her eyelids turned upward. I took some down.

In the snow, Mrs. Gao and others walked away step by step. Lily got on the carriage. Seeing the smile on Concubine Xian's face, she couldn't help but put her hands tighter into her sleeves. Snowflakes fell on her. On the big cloak on her body, Lily narrowed her eyes: "Mr. Gao is right, it's snowing again, let's go back to the palace." The attendant who carried the chariot responded and lifted the chariot. He lowered his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Let's see how long she can be proud! Now the emperor just deprived her of the concubine position, all for the sake of the Gao family. In my opinion, Yichen..." What she said Before he finished speaking, he paused and covered his mouth with green jade fingers. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed like crescent moons: "It's a serious crime to murder the emperor's heir. It's thanks to the Gao family that we saved her life."

It's just that Emperor Yongming is not an emperor who is easy to mess with. This time Gao only received a slap in the face and was stripped of his concubine status. It really didn't look like the emperor's handiwork. Lily also understood what Concubine Xian had not finished saying. She probably knew it well, so she looked so miserable when she left.

I'm afraid what the Yungui people said is true. Something must have happened to Gao's father. After all, when he was in Fengming Hall, Gao said such words. In addition to complaining to Emperor Yongming, it was also an indirect apology to Emperor Yongming. The emperor asked, if this matter is false, Emperor Yongming will definitely scold the Yungui people for talking nonsense, but the emperor did not say that. From that moment on, everyone already knew it.

Emperor Yongming was mean and ungrateful, and several of his women loved him dearly and already knew his character. Although Concubine Xian was ridiculing Mr. Gao before, her eyes were full of desolation when she spoke about it now. Although she and Ms. Gao had deep grudges, it was a waste of time. She felt the emperor's indifference and ruthlessness, and she would inevitably suffer. Vibrating.

"Life in the palace is difficult." She sighed, and Lily couldn't help but laugh: "There will always be a time when things get better, so don't worry about her blindly. I estimate that it won't be long before she is still I will become your sister De Fei." Concubine Xian was only in her teens, at the age when she was as beautiful as flowers. Now she lamented that life was difficult, which made people want to laugh, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel pity. Concubine Xian herself After saying that, he smiled, his eyes were a little sad, and after thinking about it, he got on the chariot: "I want to learn to play the pipa for fun, and to pass the time in my spare time. I heard that my sister was also proficient in this skill before she left the court, so why not follow her? My sister will go with us."

She probably had something to say to Lily, so she made an excuse to go with her. Lily was noncommittal. Concubine Xian got into the carriage and walked with Lily. After a moment of pause, she asked: "Sister said that the Gao family will regain the title of concubine again. Is that right?" What do you mean? She plotted to kill the emperor's bloodline, which many people have witnessed with their own eyes. The emperor just deposed her as a concubine today, which has already surprised me." If this is the case, even immediate death is not an exaggeration. , not to mention that the Gao family has not yet been thrown into the cold palace.

The eunuch carrying the chariot walked very steadily step by step. Lily's face was tightly wrapped in a big cloak. After hearing this, a slight smile appeared on her mouth. She motioned to Concubine Xian to get closer: "You too I know that the emperor did not refute Gao's complaint today." Then the news that General Gao died in the battlefield is probably true. The Gao family followed Liang Yi, the great ancestor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and became prosperous from the time of Gao's grandfather. They are a family with the power of following the dragon. It has been passed down for more than three generations now and they are loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty. As early as the time of Gao's grandfather, they had already Being granted the title of Marquis, hereditary succession.

The Gao family held military power, and Emperor Yongming was a very controlling emperor who was very stingy and unwilling to delegate power easily. It can be seen from the fact that there are so many women in the harem, but only a few have been given titles, that he is not generous to his courtiers either. He can reward beauties with gold, silver, jewels, and jade, but it is difficult to reward people with official positions. Nowadays, the border In the crisis, Emperor Yongming sent the Gao family and his son to go on an expedition, but General Gao died in the battle. If Lingshu was brought back to the court, I am afraid that no matter how stingy the emperor was, he would still have to reward the Gao family.

But the Gao family is already extremely wealthy. If there is no title, and rewards are not uncommon, what can be done to compensate the Gao family?

Every emperor has a trade-off in his mind, so although the emperor seemed angry before about Gao's miscarriage, it may not be true.

How could a person who was not very sad about the death of the eldest prince Liang Mubei be so angry because of the miscarriage of an unborn child? Maybe Emperor Yongming was secretly relieved that the child Liu Wanyi was gone, and the Gao family had no titles and no rewards, but it was a fact that General Gao died in the battlefield. How to appease the Gao family, Yongming It was a headache for the emperor not to be sure before, but now Gao's behavior has given Emperor Yongming a good opportunity.

First seize the Gao family's position as the Virtuous Concubine, and then save her life. When the old general Gao Lingshu returns to the capital one day, after knowing that the Gao family murdered Long Si, the Gao family may have to go to the palace to plead guilty. Thanks to the Emperor for not killing the Gao family. When the time comes, the emperor will show off his dignity. After the death of General Gao, he will restore the honor of the concubine to the Gao family and give General Gao a few more honors. Anyway, everyone is dead. , even if they lift him up to the sky, it will be in vain. The Gao family may still have to be grateful and thank the Lord for his kindness. (To be continued ~^~)
