Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 508

"Lan Xin is indeed sensible, but I think this is not the whole reason, right? Are you afraid that he will lose face in everyone's eyes? A prince is not as good as you, so you don't want him?"

"Lan Xin doesn't care what the people in the world think. What kind of person the prince is, as long as Lan Xin and the emperor understand it, why should he care about what the people in the world think? It is Lan Xin who marries the prince, and the prince is loyal to the emperor. , Brother Huang and Lan Xin don’t care, so there’s nothing else to care about, right?”

"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 a minister, you can govern the world, but you can't control the world. The common people and your ministers What we think in our hearts and what we say behind our backs, we have nothing to do.

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.

The emperor's brother was worried, but speaking of it, the queen had done a good job at the beginning, but now she was ill.Otherwise, you might have already started. "

"The empress is magnanimous, considerate and thoughtful, and she is smart and quick-witted. Naturally, the concubine and others are beyond the reach of the concubine and others. The concubine and the others are naturally very grateful for the emperor's kindness. The concubine and the others will definitely get started quickly, so that the emperor can rest assured , the stability 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’s true to refer to marriage, in this world, apart from the emperor, I’m afraid it’s the princess who knows the prince best.”

"The two are brothers and sisters, so naturally."

"Your Majesty, I have to go to the House of Internal Affairs to make arrangements for what I just ordered. You see, you ladies are knowledgeable and talented. It's not good for me to use an axe in this class. It's better for me to resign first."

"Chenmei also went to study, and also retired together."

"It's reasonable, this poetry and prose can be done at any time, and the winter bedding should be prepared."

"We should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask what is going on."

"What's the situation?"

"Don't you think our queen has been a little quiet recently? At this time, should she do something secretly?"

"You mean... But what's the use of asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs about this matter?"

"The only ones in the palace who can walk around blatantly are the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Food and clothing, maids and eunuchs, there is nothing you don't know. As long as you give enough money, there is nothing else you can't know What about it? 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? Looking for Lu Ying?"

"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 where such a person can't go. Is there anything I don’t know? Eunuch Li has been promoted, why don’t we go over and congratulate him?”

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

"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?"

"Not necessarily. The queen's power is not enough to make Li Sheng tempted, let alone Li Sheng's promotion so quickly. Besides, when Li Sheng was promoted, the queen was seriously ill. How can she have such a good hand and eye. If it is It's even more impossible for Xia Qinghe, Xia Qinghe has long been out of control. And if Xia Yun had Li Sheng, he wouldn't be able to be brought down so easily."

"Then who is this person?"

"This is not easy. Who else in this palace has the power to tempt Li Sheng?"

"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?"

"So, it can't be 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 right away, won't you?"

"However, Concubine Ning Guifei and Concubine Chen are the ones who are in the limelight recently... These two people..."

"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 may not be secure. 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?"

"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. Regardless, that's not right, Princess Qingning asked someone to enter the palace to recuperate Concubine Ning Gui's body, which will help Concubine Ning conceive. The Empress Dowager 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."

"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, Concubine Yan is basically a pawn for Xiliang's marriage, what about Concubine He? The emperor is basically because Xia Yun married. 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? "

Thinking of this, Feng Yong couldn't help feeling a little unworthy of Qin Wanyi. Wei Huaqing was dead, and Qin Wanyi's appearance showed that in the harem, Qin Wanyi really had feelings for Wei Huaqing.

The queen mother may have been afraid of this at the beginning, so she used so many brains that shouldn't be used.
