Chapter 382 Since there is no other way, just wait

Just as Bi Yun finished speaking, Concubine Zhang Gui was still not reconciled.She also knew that Zhuangyuan Gong was a great figure, but she didn't know how powerful he was.Even if Sun Dan wins the first prize, so what, at most he will enter the Imperial Academy to be a fifth- and sixth-rank official. With the Queen Mother, there is no need to be afraid of him.

Concentrated on Sun Dan's previous tricks on her, Concubine Zhang was so angry that her teeth were itchy, and she immediately said coquettishly in the Queen Mother's arms: "Queen Mother, he just won the first place in the imperial examination. If he is so rebellious today, if he is not punished, the Queen Mother will lose face." Where? From my point of view, it’s better to hit thirty sticks first.”

While acting like a baby in the arms of the queen mother, she stared at Sun Dan with provocative eyes.

Concubine Zhang knew that she was deeply loved by the Queen Mother. When she was in Anlu before, whenever something happened and she acted like a baby, the Queen Mother would smile and agree.Sun Dan should be afraid that her heart is so stubborn.

But Concubine Zhang Guifei saw Sun Dan's calm face, showing no fear at all, on the contrary, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

And that Bi Yun's eyes were full of pity.It's just that sympathetic eyes fell on her.

Concubine Zhang Gui felt strange, she was about to yell again, but she felt a strong force coming from under her body, causing her to stagger and almost fell to the ground.

After finally standing firm, he turned around, only to see the Queen Mother staring at him angrily.

Concubine Zhang Gui felt a chill in her heart, she didn't understand why the queen mother was like this, she just called out timidly: "The queen mother."

"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager suddenly yelled: "Look at you now, do you still look like a noble concubine? You don't have to lose the face of my royal family. Sun Qing's family is the top scholar in the current department, and the head of the essay handpicked by His Majesty. Fight as you can. If you disrespect Sun Qing so much, you are disrespecting His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager's words were extremely serious, Concubine Zhang Guifei was so frightened that her face paled, she was so wronged that she almost burst into tears: "The Empress Dowager."

"Shut up, stand up there for me." The queen mother scolded her again with a stern face, then changed to a smiley face, and said to Sun Dan: "Come here, show Sun Qing a seat, and give Bi Yun a seat."

Although the queen mother has a violent personality, she is indeed very shrewd.She was born in a small family, and although a woman from a small family does not have much knowledge, she has the shrewdness of a born philistine, and her eyes for seeing problems are accurate.Sun Danruo was just a small juren, and if he said he would be killed, he would be killed.But now he is the champion of the emperor's kiss, and he is a model for scholars in the world. If there is something wrong in his hands, it will probably cause an uproar among the scholars.The purpose of holding imperial examinations in the country is to win over scholars from all over the world and give everyone a way to make progress.

Now, Sun Dan's No. [-] Scholar has only been in office for a day, and he is ruined in the hands of the royal family. Doesn't it mean that the emperor doesn't care about scholars at all.Scholars are the foundation of royal rule. If the hearts of scholars are dissatisfied, even the foundation of the rule will be shaken.

The origin of Jiajing's throne was already controversial. If there is another incident of beating Xin Ke Zhuangyuan to death, I'm afraid it will cause scum to rise, and those who have doubts about the throne will jump out and make trouble.

Jiajing is the empress dowager's son, so as a mother, she naturally has to think for her son.

"Thank you Queen Mother." Sun Bi and Sun Bi smiled at each other, and then sat down.

Poor Concubine Zhang stood aside, her eyes were full of tears of grievance, but she didn't dare to say another word.

Some time ago, Concubine Zhang Guifei had a miserable life, the emperor seemed to be not very affectionate with her, and ran towards Empress Chen all day long.Now, Empress Chen is pregnant. If she gives birth to a prince in the future, she will definitely be the best candidate for the prince.If things go on like this, is there still room for her Concubine Zhang to breathe in this palace?

Moreover, it was Empress Chen's proposal to take the Empress Dowager to the capital to serve her. This move was done very beautifully, as if the emperor was also quite grateful for Empress Chen's filial piety.

It can be said that in the battle for favor in the harem, Concubine Zhang Gui has been completely at a disadvantage.

In order to face up to this situation, Zhang Guifei simply asked the emperor for orders, saying that she would go to Tongzhou to serve her mother-in-law in person.The emperor was quite pleased with Concubine Zhang's kindness, so he nodded in agreement.The emperor also thought about sending a concubine to Tongzhou to take care of his mother.Originally, Empress Chen was the best candidate, and it was justifiable.It's a pity that she is a queen, every move is a big commotion, and there is no way to leave the palace.Besides, Empress Chen is pregnant again, so it's not suitable for her to go out.

This time the queen mother came to Beijing, and Jiajing also knew that it would be a big political disturbance. According to Sun Dan, the queen mother will definitely stay in Tongzhou for a while, and it is not so easy to enter the city.Therefore, it really needs a person to take care of it.

In this way, Concubine Zhang Gui got this convenience.

I thought I could take this opportunity to please the Queen Mother, and to please the Queen Mother meant to please His Majesty.

But I didn't expect this Sun Dan to follow him to Tongzhou lingeringly, and I didn't expect that as soon as everyone met, I, Concubine Zhang, suffered a big loss from him again.

The more Concubine Zhang stood, the more wronged she became, she wished she could turn around and run back to the house immediately, hugging the quilt and crying loudly.

The queen mother talked gently with Bi Yun and Sun Dan for a long time, and then said bitterly: "When will you return to Beijing, Bi Yun, and when you see the emperor after you go back, tell him that Mao Cheng is really hateful, how dare you offend me?" , and said that my emperor’s son can’t be recognized anymore. You said, we orphans and widows, we have provoked who, what should we do in the current situation?”

As she spoke, it probably caused her own sadness, and the queen mother was so angry that tears fell down.

As soon as the Queen Mother cried, Concubine Zhang Guifei and everyone in the room also burst into tears.

Bi Yun also felt a headache, and comforted the Queen Mother in a low voice, saying: "Queen Mother, your title is related to the residence, Mao Shangshu can't make the decision, and even His Majesty doesn't know how to deal with it. This matter has to be resolved." A decision can only be made after discussions between Yang Shoufu of the cabinet and the other two cabinet elders."

Bi Yun didn't dare to say more about this kind of matter, so he could only shift the responsibility to Yang Tinghe.

As soon as she heard Yang Tinghe's name, the queen mother also knew the power of it. This person is the chief assistant of the dynasty, his disciples and old officials are all over the world, and he is also the leader of the scholars in the world. His words directly represent the will of the ministers and scholars, right? A man to deal with.

Thinking of the majestic mountain of old Yang Ge, the queen mother was so worried that she almost cried out, and kept asking: "What should I do now, what should I do now, Bi Yun, you are the inner minister, the person His Majesty trusts the most, You can always find a way."

Bi Yun was so entangled by her that he had no choice but to glance at Sun Dan: "What do you think about this matter, Jingyuan?" is a hassle.Since the Empress Dowager's entry to Beijing was the idea of ​​you, Sun Dan and Empress Chen, it should be up to you to solve the problem now.

Seeing the embarrassment on Bi Yun's face, Sun Dan also sympathized with him, Lao Bi, Lao Bi, it's not easy for you.

The queen mother had sharp eyes, and Bi Yun kept looking at Sun Dan, knowing that Sun Dan must have a solution, so she asked, "Master Sun, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Sun Dan had no choice but to say, "Since you can't enter the city, just wait."

"Wait?" The queen mother looked puzzled.
