Chapter 525 Selling Officials
According to the maid's confession, after the death of the former warrior Tong, the son squeezed out the four of Mrs. Rongguo's mother and daughter, and often did some clumsy work in the house, compared with others, and even suffered white-eyed abuse. Mrs. Han was arrogant and wanted to join the wealthy family, but she couldn't bear to see her relatives suffer, and she was the eldest daughter in the family, so she chose how much the dowry was, and finally married into the Helan family. Although the husband and wife are in love and hate each other late, her husband is weak and died early. Changsun Chong said.
"Mrs. Korea is also a responsible woman." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said.
"Exactly, but it didn't take long for our current queen to suddenly take out a sum of silver taels, saying that it was a gift from the national teacher, which caused great dissatisfaction among Mrs. Han. She thinks that her sister has silver taels but hides them privately, and forcing her sister to marry a patient is really ruthless. Not long after, the queen took the carriage of Liangjiazi into Beijing and entered the palace to join the national teacher, and Mrs. Han was even more dissatisfied, feeling that her sister had hidden something from her and ignored her sister's feelings. As for the later selection as a talented person of the first emperor, it made Mrs. Han hate the queen and believed that the queen was lying and selfish. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji pondered carefully for another moment, and suddenly laughed, this is a rare opportunity. The queen of the national teacher occupies the right time and place, and it is difficult to go to the sky if you want to defeat them. But if it messes with itself from within, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble and be able to attack invisibly?
"Well done, we need to step up communication with Na Helan Minzhi, take these silver tickets, don't be reluctant." The eldest grandson Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this game of chess is not over yet, and it is still unknown who will win or lose.
At present, Mrs. Korea has not been officially titled, so the key is to stimulate the contradictions between the sisters. So Changsun Chong secretly communicated with Helan Minzhi many times. Since he has become a wine-colored friend, he can put his heart into his heart, and Changsun Chong suggested that Helan Minzhi should also consider his mother. has paid so much for the family, but look at what your second aunt has reciprocated, and forced such a young Helan Minyue to call her queen, her heart is really ruthless.
Helan Minzhi heard it in his heart, and he couldn't help but nag with his mother, Wu Shun was already wronged, and he became more and more anxious after listening to his son's words. But the emperor only believed in the empress. even hid from himself, what did he rely on to fight for the title?
Helan Minzhi thought of a so-called good idea, that is, his sister Yue'er was almost eight years old. In a few years, they can marry into the royal family together, and it is not uncommon for aunts and nephews to serve an emperor.
But Wu Shun was a little hesitant, because she originally wanted her daughter to marry the crown prince Li Hong, and she had already created a lot of opportunities for the two of them to get in touch. You can see it. Li Hong likes Yue'er very much.
Helan Minzhi smiled, it seems that the emperors of the Li family are all infatuated, but it is easier to do it this way. Didn't my aunt marry the old emperor first and then the little emperor? Isn't our Yue'er as beautiful as my aunt?
Helan Minzhi was stupid, and Wu Shun was also confused, so he did it in a daze. As everyone knows, the reason why Wu Mei is favored by Li Zhi is not only because of her beauty, but also because of her superhuman perseverance, hard-working spirit, and the domineering and courage that politicians have. This is not at all something that a jealous little woman can learn.
But for the time being, there are still some gains. The Korean lady became submissive and respectful to the queen. The emperor did not force the name, but pitifully said that he had not been in good health for the past two years, and a fortune teller used to say that he would not live to be forty years old, and it was very reassuring to have his aunt to take care of him when he was older, but Yue'er was pampered, and he couldn't rest assured, so he handed her over to His Majesty.
The Son of Heaven has always been embarrassed about beauty, Li Zhi also likes delicate flowers, and Helan Minyue is like a villain, always likes to stick to Li Zhi, and Mrs. Han got close to Li Zhi through her daughter, and even a little blatant.
Wu Mei swallowed her anger, but the rumors inside and outside the palace were overwhelming, and they had reached the point where everyone knew about it.
"Mother-in-law, what should I do now, if I can't do it, let my sister be satisfied, and let Your Majesty give her a title." Wu Mei sighed and said.
"Paulie, in this day and age, it is not uncommon for sisters to marry the same husband, but you have to consider the problem from another aspect. First, why did Zhi'er suddenly become enthusiastic about Wu Mei again? Second, why did the rumors spread so quickly inside and outside the palace? ”
"Mother-in-law, do you mean that someone deliberately made it difficult for me to do so?"
"Probably so. Paulaine, there is a palace in the back court, and there is no more hostess, but recently you let Wu Shun get his wish, if there is a mastermind behind him, the next step will be to extend his greedy hand to your back position, at that time, do you let it or not? ”
"Those who have both ability and political integrity, whether they are related by blood or not, I will let them be virtuous, but those who are not right-minded will never compromise."
"Therefore, during this time, you still have to turn a deaf ear to the rumors outside, including Zhi'er, reduce contact with them, and don't let the other party have a chance to make demands. I believe that it will not be long before there will be a bigger mess coming out, and at that time, the real culprit behind the scenes will jump out. Yuan Ziyan sorted out a strand of hair on Wu Mei's sideburns, and said: "A knife on the head of the word forbearance, you can only win a long time by enduring a moment." All the disturbances are tightly a beginning, since you have chosen this step, then you will unswervingly go on, and whoever persists to the end will win the final victory. ”
Wu Mei nodded, she was no longer like when she was a child, crying when she encountered some difficulties, and her talents were also constantly being exercised, and now she has become a pillar of the country.
"Mother-in-law, there is one more thing, hesitate." Wu Mei asked tentatively.
"Straight to the point."
"In the past, Li Yifu helped me ascend to the rear position, but he was greedy, sold his official beard, and his wife and children were even more powerful and played for the tiger, and the officials in Beijing were quite complaining."
"It's not simple, of course such a dog official can't stay in the court."
"I also thought about it, but when I was Zhaoyi before, I also secretly asked him for help in order to ascend to the back position. If I persuade His Majesty to depose him again, Li Yifu will jump over the wall in a hurry and tell the ugly things of the past, it will inevitably be that the eldest grandson Wuji and others will take advantage of the topic to embarrass me, or provoke public anger and be deposed by His Majesty. Wu Mei said worriedly.
"Well, we really can't provoke Li Yifu. In this way, you give some sweetness, let him relax his vigilance, and then anger the ministers, and when the impeachment is too much, as long as you leave Li Yifu's life, he will be grateful. Yuan Ziyan said.
"Hehe, stepmother, it's really good."
"What's bad, there are some things that need to be ruthless." Yuan Ziyan smiled bitterly.
For a long time in the future, Wu Mei said that she was busy with work, and even personally selected a few royal wives for Li Zhi, saying that she was too busy to take care of His Majesty.
Li Zhi was happy to sneak around with Wu Shun, naturally he agreed, and occasionally made a small report to Wu Mei, but she also scolded him, and he was not allowed to spread rumors and insult the reputation of His Majesty and Mrs. Han, if he committed it again, he would not be spared.
Wu Mei's attitude made the mouths of the people in the palace closed, and the rumors outside the palace gradually lost their momentum to spread, isn't it just the matter of the palace, maybe it's fake, you can't believe it, otherwise why hasn't Mrs. Han been named a concubine.
Wu Shun was anxious, his mouth was on fire, and he couldn't serve Li Zhi for many days, and he was depressed. The eldest grandson outside the palace was also scratching his head, this Martial Empress doesn't look like a woman at all in her style of doing things!
However, there is no one in the queen's family who is an official in the capital, and she can't find any shortcomings, and the only person who can restrain the queen at present is Mrs. Han.
No, we have to keep looking for loopholes. After thinking about it again and again, Changsun Chong found Helan Minzhi again. Helan Minzhi also had a headache, he pointed to the old lady as a concubine, and he also mixed a higher position or even a king or something, but now it is good, and it is the same as before, but he has been ridiculed a lot, saying that his wife is just a plaything of the Li family, and will not be taken seriously at all.
The eldest grandson Chong nodded and said, the queen's endurance is very comparable, I can't wait for her to come forward to be a good person, it's time for Mrs. Han to have a showdown with her, I'm always embarrassed to say, when it's over forty, how many emperors will like this old woman?
Helan Minzhi asked in wonder, didn't Empress Xiao of the previous dynasty also marry the first emperor and become Zhaorong? She was about 60 years old at the time.
The eldest grandson smiled at him, some famous women in the world are strange women, represented by the national teacher and the queen, that is a typical example of youthlessness. Although Empress Xiao is not as good as the two of them, she is well maintained, she looks like she is in her early thirties, delicate and plump, and the first emperor did not marry for the sake of the bed, but raised it in the back court, in order to win over the old ministers of the previous dynasty.
Helan Minzhi suddenly realized, no wonder Xiao Zhaorong was buried with Emperor Yang of Sui in the end, it turned out that the first emperor had never touched her at all.
The eldest grandson Chong threw out another olive branch, and simply called Helan Minzhi the prince, and became the emperor's godson, isn't it the prince? Helan Minzhi was excited by alcohol, and after returning to the courtyard where the beauties were hidden, he woke up at noon the next day and entered the palace with a body of wine to discuss important matters with his mother.
This kind of attitude and efficiency is destined to fail. Mrs. Han considered herself very charming, and at the instigation of her son, she regained her confidence. Of course, Mrs. Han did not act recklessly, but first went to Li Zhi to discuss, if she did her sister's ideological work, could she be named a concubine?
Li Zhi agreed, now it is the daughter-in-law who has the final say, what are the concubines in the back court? Mrs. Han put her mind at ease, and then went to her mother again, asking her to support herself too, and if her sister blocked it, don't be frightened by her so-called queen status.
said a thousand things and ten thousand, she is a daughter who came out of her mother's womb, and she can't collide with her mother. (To be continued......)
