Chapter 151: Transmigrated into an Unlucky Marquis (2)
In order to fulfill the promise he made when he first ascended the throne, the current emperor passed the throne to the emperor, but he did not completely give up power.
In other words, there are two emperors in the palace now.
In ordinary families, fathers and sons might quarrel with each other, let alone in the heavenly family.
If these ministers were not careful in the process, they would be guilty of the crime of having their property confiscated and their clan exterminated.
So, the original body said a few words from the heart, advising the Jia family not to get involved, saying that the palace was not a good place to be, and even if she became an empress, she might not be able to live a happy life.
It would be better to ask for mercy and bring Jia Yuanchun out as soon as possible. She is only 22 years old now, not too old. If they help look for her together, they will probably find her ideal husband.
The original person thought that he was thinking carefully about the Jia family and Jia Yuanchun. Jia Yuanchun had been in the palace for many years. If the emperor was interested in her, he would have done so long ago and would not have just let her be a female official.
But what he said greatly offended the Jia family.
They felt that the original body deliberately did not want to help and looked down on Jia Yuanchun.
With Jia Yuanchun's appearance and talent, she just lacks an opportunity. As long as someone pushes Jia Yuanchun in front of the emperor, the emperor will definitely take a fancy to her!
It would be fine if the original body didn't help, but why is he making sarcastic remarks?
If they wanted to bring Jia Yuanchun out, why did they go to so much trouble to send her to the palace? Wasn't this a plan to harm people?
They left angrily, and then asked Wang Ziteng for help to send Jia Yuanchun to the dragon bed and made her a concubine.
When the news came, everyone in the Jia family was overjoyed. They decorated the house with lanterns and colorful decorations, and even the servants looked down on people when they went out.
But the original body felt that it was not good, because Wang Ziteng was the emperor's man, and if the Jia family used his connections, they would be completely tied to the emperor's side.
Moreover, Jia Yuanchun’s title was also problematic. She was actually given the title of Minister of Fengzao Palace and was given the title of Consort Xian De.
Listen, the title of concubine was actually an additional title!
Her main job was to help the emperor handle official business, and the emperor sleeping with her was just a side job.
But she was given to the emperor by the retired emperor. If anything happens, does she need to inform the retired emperor?
Or was her promotion a gesture of affection from the emperor to the emperor emeritus?
It's so difficult to be in her position. If you're not careful, you'll be crushed to pieces!
What’s even more terrifying is that, in the eyes of outsiders, these four major families are still closely related.
Doesn’t this mean that they are all tied to the emperor’s side!
The original person shuddered at the thought, but everyone in the Jia family was immersed in the ecstasy of having a royal concubine in the family. They were so excited that they almost forgot their own surnames. They simply could not listen to his good advice, and were instead hated by Mrs. Wang.
She took the opportunity of her monthly visit to the palace to pay respects to Jia Yuanchun and said, "We are old relatives of the Shi family, but Lord Shi doesn't help, and he keeps throwing cold water on you. My son, I'm afraid he's too jealous and will trip you up!"
After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun decided to take action first and teach the original owner a lesson, so that he would be more obedient and not forget his roots.
At that time, she had just been conferred the title of imperial concubine and was quite favored, especially since she helped to deal with memorials and was considered to have a say, so she specifically looked for faults in the original body.
Not long after, the original person was reprimanded by the emperor for not paying attention because he wrote a word wrong in a memorial. He was ordered to resign and return home, and even his son was deprived of the qualification to take the imperial examination.
In fact, this is also the emperor weakening the power of the emperor emeritus. It is Jia Yuanchun who is hard to find fault with the original emperor. Your four major families are fighting among themselves, so of course the emperor has to go with the flow.
The original person was unemployed and returned home, feeling depressed, and he was worried about a bigger crisis.
Sure enough, within two years, Jia Yuanchun failed in the palace fight and died in unclear circumstances.
The retired emperor also passed away. The Jia family lost their support and were soon confiscated and held accountable. Unfortunately, the Shi family was also implicated and was considered to be in the same party, so they were also confiscated.
No matter whether the Jia family is in power or out of power, the original body will be implicated. The Jia family can be said to be a top-notch pig teammate!
When Ning Ning traveled through time, her original self was suffering from a minor illness and was recuperating at home. Grandmother Jia brought Lady Wang to her house and asked him to help Jia Yuanchun.
In the original plot, he said many heartfelt words, but was considered to have bad intentions and was jealous.
So when he came across this, he simply followed other people's wishes and praised Jia Yuanchun as highly as possible.
Because the Jia family also felt that Jia Yuanchun was so outstanding that she would not be wasted only if she was sent to the emperor's throne.
It's a pity that the man in his family doesn't think about revitalizing the family business, but instead places all his hopes on a woman, hoping that she can work hard and make a name for herself in the palace. How ridiculous!
What he said was certainly in line with the wishes of Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang, but he had no intention of helping Jia Yuanchun.
Since his stupid teammate is determined to go down a dead end and cannot be pulled back no matter what, he can only respect everyone's fate and at the same time find hope for his own survival.
So, in front of them, he turned a minor ailment into a major one, indicating that he was powerless to help.
However, he also knew that the Jia family would never give up and would definitely go through the Wang family again.
Sure enough, when Lady Jia and Lady Wang left, Lady Jia sighed, "I didn't expect Ding'er to be seriously ill. I'm afraid he can't help Yuan girl. Nai'er is not in the capital. Why don't you ask your brother from your mother's family if he can help? He is also Yuan girl's uncle. If you need help, just take money from the public treasury."
"What the old lady said is true. I will go ask him right now."
Mrs. Wang was very upset. She boasted every day about the two marquises in the same family and how her nephew was highly valued. But at the critical moment, there was no one who could help. Didn't she still have to rely on her parents' family?
You keep saying that you love Yuanchun, but you are unwilling to use your own money to support her, and you even have to take money out of the public treasury. You are an old hag who is only good at talking, and you can only put on airs in front of me!
Having said that, Mrs. Wang was naturally dedicated to the matter of her precious daughter. She went to Wang Ziteng to tell him about the matter and gave him a generous gift. Wang Ziteng also saw the benefits of this matter and of course agreed.
He is the retired emperor's man, otherwise he would not have been able to sit firmly in such an important position as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, so he knows the retired emperor's mind very well.
The retired emperor was also worried about the emperor, fearing that the emperor would seize power and leave him a mere figurehead, so placing one of his own among the emperor's bedmates was very much in line with the retired emperor's wishes.
It sounds nice to say that it was the retired emperor who sent someone to serve the emperor to show his love.
So he recommended Jia Yuanchun to the retired emperor. After thinking about it, the retired emperor felt that Jia Yuanchun was suitable in all aspects.
The four kings and eight dukes were his old ministers. Having an imperial concubine among them was a grace he bestowed on them.
Soon, he gave the female official Jia Yuanchun to the emperor and let the emperor do what he wanted.
Of course the emperor knew what to do, and he readily appointed Jia Yuanchun as the Minister of Fengzao Palace and gave her the title of Consort Xian De.
It can only be said that Jia Yuanchun's sudden rise to power was the result of compromise among various forces in the palace. From the very beginning, her position was extremely precarious. Only the Jia family, a bunch of idiots, thought that this was a blessing from heaven!
