Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 428 Master Behind
Wei Huaqing nodded: "It's best for you to think like this. If you can't think like this, there's nothing you can do. There are many things that I can't control. As a king and minister, you can govern the world, but you can't control the world. We can't do anything about what the common people and the ministers and workers think in their hearts and what they say behind their backs.

All we can do is to look away. What can we do?In this world, who can control the heart?In fact, in my heart, I reward you and build the princess mansion, which is a reward for your actions, but for him, there are different ways.This is what they didn't see, what they only saw, and they just thought, who is I rewarding now.

In fact, you should also know these things.At his age and status, he is already at the peak.My reward is also awarded according to one thing, isn't it?It is impossible for me to reward for no reason in order to calm the public opinion of the people or the ministers.Therefore, this matter still needs to be taken care of by ourselves.

When he does things for me, no matter what it is, he will reward me based on his merit.Whether it is matters in the court or in the inner palace, these are what ministers should do.There is a saying that when fighting against the outside world, one must first make peace with the inside.If things are done well in the inner palace, things will go well outside.I asked him to do some things in the harem, probably because I have just ascended the throne and you have not dealt with it in the harem.

Let him help you bear some burdens. If you can do well, you don't need him to take care of your daily necessities.I asked him to do these things because he handles things properly, and other courtiers are sometimes not as careful as he is.And it is also because I trust him, so I rest assured to let him walk in the palace.

Everyone just forgets this kind of rumor, so why bother keeping it in mind?Lan Xin is my adopted sister. I don’t have any brothers or sisters anymore, so I can’t reward her enough, let alone if she has really made meritorious deeds.Feng Yong is not only my minister, but also my brother-in-law. How could I not know the reward?But there must be a reason for the reward, right?

If a king can't even distinguish rewards and punishments, and needs to change at will according to public opinion, then should the king rule the country or public opinion rule the country? "

"What the emperor said is that the emperor's employment of people naturally has his own unique method. If it is something that depends on outsiders' opinions, then who is sitting on the throne? Na Xianyan, but there are some things that cannot be listened to. The imperial sister-in-laws have just taken this position, so many of them don't understand, and it is normal to need help.

Brother Huang is also worried, but speaking of it, the Empress Dowager did a good job back then, but now she is ill.Otherwise, you may have already started. Bai Lan said with a smile.

Chen Xi nodded slightly: "The empress is magnanimous, considerate in her work, smart and quick-witted, which is beyond the reach of my concubines and others. Naturally, my concubines and others are very grateful for the emperor's kindness, and my concubines and others will definitely hurry up Get started, let the emperor rest assured that the safety of the harem is the most important thing."

"Sister Concubine Chen is right. If the sisters can get started, the prince will be able to go to the previous court to help. The emperor is also kind. If the prince does things properly, if he can be in the previous court, he will definitely be able to use his fists. The emperor this It is indeed true to refer to marriage, in this world, apart from the emperor, I am afraid that the princess knows the prince best." Fu Rong said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing nodded, looked at Feng Yong thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "The two of you are brothers and sisters, of course."

Feng Yong saw that this was really nothing to do with her, so she was about to leave: "Your Majesty, I have to go to the House of Internal Affairs to make arrangements for the things you just ordered. You see, you ladies are very knowledgeable, and it's not easy for me to be a master of this class. How about you?" The minister will take his leave first."

"Sister Chen also went to study, and she also resigned." Bai Lan said with a smile.

Wei Huaqing nodded: "It makes sense, you can recite poems and compose poems at any time. It's time to prepare bedding for winter."

Feng Yong and Bai Lan left Yuxiu Palace and walked a certain distance, Feng Yong said in a low voice: "We should go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask what is going on."

"What's the situation?" Bai Lan didn't understand.

Feng Yong frowned and looked at Bai Lan, and said lightly: "Don't you think our queen has been a little quiet lately? At this time, is there something she should do secretly?"

"You mean... But what's the use of asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs about this matter?" Bai Lan didn't understand.

Feng Yong smiled: "The only ones in the palace who can walk around blatantly are those from the House of Internal Affairs. I don't know about food and clothing, maids and eunuchs. As long as you give enough money, there will be more money." What can't be known? The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the queen is no longer the queen of the past, not to mention, she was not so high and powerful back then."

"Okay, then who are you looking for?" Bai Lan didn't understand: "Are you looking for Lu Ying?"

Feng Yong shook her head: "What's the use of looking for Lu Ying? Lu Ying can't go to a place that doesn't make clothes. He must be looking for Li Sheng. Li Sheng has recently been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is no place for such a person If you can’t go, how can you not know about it? Eunuch Li has been promoted, so why don’t we go over and congratulate him?”

"I see. I didn't know about this. It's just that Li Sheng has some tricks, and he was promoted quickly enough. This position is not so easy to climb up." Bai Lan said with emotion.

Feng Yong nodded: "Of course it's not easy for ordinary people to climb up. In my opinion, the master behind Li Sheng is a formidable master. But, who is this person?"

"Do you think this person is the queen?" Bai Lan guessed.

Feng Yong shook her head: "Not necessarily. The queen's power is not enough to tempt Li Sheng, let alone make Li Sheng be promoted so quickly. Besides, when Li Sheng was promoted, the queen was seriously ill. How can there be such a hand and eye?" Ability. If it is Xia Qinghe, it is even more impossible, Xia Qinghe has long since failed. And if Xia Yun had Li Sheng, it would not be so easy to be brought down."

"Then who could this person be?" Bai Lan didn't understand.

Feng Yong smiled: "It's not easy, who else in this palace has the power to make Li Sheng tempted?"

"If we talk about power, then only the concubines in the harem and the emperor are left. However, if Li Sheng belongs to the emperor, isn't it a little late for his promotion?" Bai Lan asked.

Feng Yong nodded: "So, it's not the emperor's person at all. Think about it, if you are the emperor, your own person, when you take the position, you will naturally help this person to the seat where you should sit, right?"

"However, Concubine Ning Guifei and Concubine Chen are the ones who are in the limelight recently... These two people..." Bai Lan did not continue.

Feng Yong shook her head: "It's impossible for these two people, Li Sheng is not that stupid. Li Sheng belongs to the gang of old fried dough sticks. He knows that this kind of favor is unreliable. If you are looking for a master, if you are looking for a concubine, your position is not good. You must sit firmly. Besides, as a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if you are looking for a concubine, you will inevitably have flaws in your daily life.

What will the emperor think then?Therefore, Li Sheng would not be so stupid as to find a concubine.Xia Qinghe's example is right in front of you. No matter what kind of concubine you find, it is unstable.Even if his background is like Chen Xiwei's, isn't it unstable?Chaoyun Kingdom and us are just powerful rivals, but that doesn't mean that Chen Xiwei will not fall out of favor.

In addition, Chen Xiwei has not been here for long, can you guarantee what Chen Xiwei will look like in the future?What Li Sheng wanted was a stable master, not a momentary success.Li Sheng knew that this was the best his position could be, so why take such a big risk?Not to mention Concubine Ning, you just saw it.

Would Li Sheng not know the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Ning?All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Concubine Ning was favored because of the Suhe clan. How is this different from Concubine Hegui back then?The Suhe clan is just a small clan, if anything happens, I'm afraid that in the future, life will be even more miserable than He Guifei's.

Therefore, in the harem, there is only one person who can be Li Sheng's master, and that is the queen mother.Although the queen mother is from the Suhe clan, no matter what, no matter how the concubine is favored and how the power of the neighboring tribes changes, as long as the emperor is the emperor, the queen mother is the queen mother. own trust.

This kind of master is what Li Sheng needs. Therefore, I think, if Li Sheng has a master, it will only be the queen mother, not someone else.As for why Li Sheng wanted to be loyal to the Queen Mother, we don't know this.However, it can be seen that the Queen Mother also has her own plans. "

"How do you know that the Queen Mother has her own plans?" Bai Lan didn't understand.

Feng Yong smiled: "The queen mother is from the Suhe clan, and Concubine Ning Gui is also from the Suhe clan. If the queen mother really supports the Suhe clan, at this time, she should find a way to help Ning Guifei, but the queen mother does not, this is one of them. If you say It's not right for the Queen Mother to ignore the Suhe clan. Princess Qingning asked someone to enter the palace to recuperate Concubine Ning Gui's body, which will help Concubine Ning conceive. The Queen Mother should have given her permission for this matter.

Because in the harem, only with the Queen Mother's instruction can the emperor dare not speak out.However, this can't change the emperor's view of the Suhe clan, so at this time, the queen mother can't help either.But despite this, the queen mother never said a word to help the Suhe clan from the beginning. It can be seen that the queen mother does not really want to support the Suhe clan in her heart. This is the second.

The queen mother knew that although she was from the Suhe tribe, she had been away for many years and was just a daughter of a tribe.This kind of daughter, if one dies, there will be a second one.If her son hadn't become the emperor, she would be a walking dead, just a pair of eyes in the palace. Therefore, the queen mother has resentment towards the Suhe clan in her heart, and she will definitely not be so dedicated. This is the third.

In the end, the man of the Suhe clan died early. Wei Huaqing, because the queen mother already had the blood of the Suhe clan, at this time, no matter what the reason, Concubine Ning Guifei's child cannot be a boy, and even if it is a boy, he cannot be the crown prince.Therefore, it is even more impossible for the Queen Mother to help Concubine Ning.Because, as long as the emperor is in power for one day, it will be a victory for the Suhe clan, and there is no need to spend the life of the next generation to complete a meaningless thing.

Moreover, I suspect that the person whom the Queen Mother is most satisfied with should be Concubine Chen.Concubine Chen and the emperor are well-matched, and her conversational knowledge, knowledge and behavior are not ordinary girls.Although the queen is the emperor's first wife, she is too incompatible with the emperor.Moreover, now that the queen is ill and Concubine Chen is a newcomer to the palace, she is naturally the only one favored by her.

This kind of favor is not comparable to Concubine Ning and Concubine Yan.Moreover, the Queen Mother knew that Concubine Ning's favor was only for the sake of the Suhe clan, and she could not continue to have children. When the time comes, the position of the Queen Mother would still belong to someone else.Concubine Yan is from Xiliang, and coupled with Mukeya's matter, she is not on good terms with the emperor, so how can she be favored?
At this time, the well-matched and beautiful Concubine Chen is naturally the best choice.In addition, Concubine Chen understands the truth, does things properly, does not compete for favor, does not avoid favor, and most importantly, Concubine Chen does not love the emperor, so Concubine Chen can do many things that other concubines cannot do, Concubine Chen, He is the most satisfied candidate in the queen mother's heart. "

"However, other concubines may not necessarily love the emperor." Bai Lan said in a low voice.

Feng Yong nodded: "Of course, the other concubines do not love the emperor, but they all have their own agenda. Concubine Ning is to revitalize the Suhe clan, and Concubine Yan is basically a pawn for Xiliang's marriage. What about Concubine He? ?The emperor married because of Xia Yun. The remaining beautiful women all came to the palace because of old ministers. Nothing else. They were all to protect their families.

Only Concubine Chen had no agenda at all, and beside the emperor, her shoulders were level with her.Only this kind of person can have the feeling of a mother nurturing the world, and can also have the generosity of the middle palace.Husbands and wives are deeply in love, and they do not necessarily need to be in love. They do not necessarily need to be the original couple to live together until old age.

The Empress Dowager understood that she and the late emperor were not the original match, and she also knew that she did not want her future grandchildren to be the same as the previous princes.Therefore, choosing Concubine Chen is the safest choice.No one dared to lay hands on Concubine Chen's child, because no one could offend Chao Yunguo.Only when such a child is born can he firmly occupy the position of prince.

In addition, the queen mother and the emperor both care about the affairs of their Suhe clan.What the emperor cares about is his origin from a foreign clan, what the queen mother cares about is that she is a pawn of the Suhe clan and will be discarded at any time.Therefore, it is impossible for both of them to really help the Suhe clan.They know that their own mother-child relationship is the most reliable, and everything owned by others is subject to change.

Moreover, I even suspect that the queen mother knows what is going on with the queen's illness, she just doesn't talk about it.As long as she doesn't reveal it, the emperor doesn't care, the queen's illness needs to be pretended all the time.When will the empress no longer be able to pretend, and Concubine Chen's position will be stabilized. At this time, if the empress is punished for deceiving the emperor, Concubine Chen will be in the rightful position, right?
With that kind of background, experience in managing a harem, a beauty that captivates the country, and a family of saints with everlasting honor and favor, who would object?If a prince could be born during this period, wouldn't it be more justifiable? "
