Chapter 36: The Zhou Family's Ambitions

The Queen Mother didn't expect things to suddenly take a big turn, obviously seeing that the emperor was about to respond, why did it become like this?

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became louder, she pressed her hands on the armrests of the chair, and stood up with difficulty, with a faint anger in her eyes, "The emperor just nods slightly, and he can exchange Yunyang for a lifetime of wishful thinking in the future, why is the emperor unwilling to help Yunyang?" ”

"If I don't want to help her, does the Queen Mother think that she, a concubine of the Hou Mansion, can become the current county lord?" Zhao Tiannan's eyes narrowed, so that people could not see the slightest excess love in his eyes.

When the Queen Mother saw this, her heart was cold.

Zhao Tiannan sneered in his heart, what does Feng Mingwu mean that marrying into the Anguo Mansion is not an insult to her identity?

Now that this is full of capital, I am afraid that only the Queen Mother will think how noble Feng Mingwu's identity is, if the Queen Mother is asked to listen to how the noble ladies in Beijing think of this Yunyang County Lord, I wonder if she will tremble with anger?

What kind of family is the Anguo Mansion, in the heart of the Queen Mother, Xiao Jingbei, the prince of Anguo, is only barely worthy of Feng Mingwu, the county lord who was born as a concubine?

Just like countless times in the past, Zhao Tiannan was once again amazed by the Queen Mother's feelings for Zhao Youjun.

His mother, I'm afraid that she will only show such a warm side when she meets Zhao Youjun, right?

It's just that the Queen Mother's warmth has always been only shown to Zhao Youjun alone, and it is always accompanied by the pain of unrelated people.

Zhao Tiannan can be called a ruthless emperor, but he is ashamed of the Anguo Mansion in his heart.

If Xiao Li hadn't sacrificed his life several times to save him, there would not be Zhao Tiannan, who is now the emperor.

If Xiao Li hadn't discovered the secret that Zhao Tiannan tried so hard to hide, Zhao Tiannan was sure that he would let the Anguo Mansion enjoy wealth forever.

But Xiao Li had to touch the mystery of Han Su's death back then.

Even though he was a little reluctant in his heart, Zhao Tiannan finally abandoned his most loyal courtier.

Later, An Guogong was poisoned and fell asleep, and the Anguo Mansion fell behind Zhou Yuran, and this Zhou Yuran. At the beginning, it was also under the intervention of the Queen Mother, and Zhao Tiannan decreed that she married into the Anguo Mansion.

Over the years, the prince of Anguo has escaped with his life many times under the poisonous hands of the Duchess of Anguo, and Zhao Tiannan has also heard of it.

also because of that little shame in my heart. He will try his best to promote Xiao Jingbei and make him the envy of his peers in Beijing today.

Now that I heard the Queen Mother mention that she wanted him to marry the Anguo Mansion again, Zhao Tiannan's face sank.

"Mother, there is no need to mention this matter again. I won't say yes! Zhao Tiannan said.

The Queen Mother was in a hurry, and blurted out a sentence without thinking about it: "The emperor is unwilling to let Yunyang have a good home, is he still holding a grudge against Qingping?" ”

Almost as soon as the words came out, the Queen Mother had already regretted it.

Since Zhao Youjun was sent to Ciyun Nunnery, the two have never mentioned Zhao Youjun again.

Even if the Queen Mother felt sorry for her daughter, she also knew that with the things Zhao Youjun had done over the years, she was sent to Ciyun Nunnery, but she was not wronged at all.

In other words, if it is the Queen Mother herself, I am afraid that she will not forget what Zhao Youjun has done. What's more, what about Zhao Tiannan?

The Queen Mother was a little annoyed in her heart, she rashly mentioned Qingping, and the emperor remembered Qingping's affairs, wouldn't he even ignore Yunyang's family affairs?

Hearing the Queen Mother mention Zhao Youjun, Zhao Tiannan's face also sank, but he didn't take advantage of it to attack.

"Xiao Jingbei is a person, I plan to cultivate the right and left hand of the prince in the future, and I will make a decision about his family affairs. The Queen Mother doesn't need to say much. Zhao Tiannan said.

Hearing Zhao Tiannan mention the crown prince, the anger that had been suppressed in the queen mother's heart had a tendency to rise again, and she took several deep breaths in a row, but finally couldn't hold back the words in her mouth.

"Prince?" The Queen Mother sneered. It's not at all like the kindness of ordinary grandmothers when they mention their grandchildren, but it is like mentioning the most hated enemy, "The emperor really plans for the prince, and even takes into account the right and left hands of the prince after he ascends the throne in the future, but the emperor really thinks it." With the prince's dilapidated body, can he still hold out until the day he ascends the throne? ”

Although Zhao Tiannan is now over half a hundred years old, his body has always been strong, and he usually has no headaches and brain fever.

And the prince, everyone knows that the prince's health is not good, although there are the doctors of the hospital who are always watching, and the doctors also say that as long as the prince is carefully raised, although the prince is weaker, it is not difficult to live safely, but whether the prince can survive the past ten years is really unknown.

However, even if this is the truth, it should not be said by the Queen Mother, who is a grandmother.

Zhao Tiannan stood up suddenly, and looked at the Queen Mother with a pair of furious eyes, "The Queen Mother is cautious!" ”

The crown prince can be regarded as a hidden pain in Zhao Tiannan's heart.

He has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and in the past 20 years after ascending the throne, he has never dared to delay political affairs, and he claims to be wise and martial, but the only one is in the heirs, but he has never been able to do so.

This harem is full of concubines, but only the current Concubine Ning gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the only son who can inherit the world is a medicine jar.

If it's just like this, although his body is weaker, he is from the royal family, and there is no shortage of famous doctors, at most, let the imperial doctors pay more attention, but what makes Zhao Tiannan most dissatisfied is that the prince's qualifications can only be regarded as ordinary, even if he breaks the idea that there will be other heirs, he will do his best to cultivate the prince, after so many years, compared to Zhao Tiannan's expectations, the prince's growth is still too slow.

Now that the Queen Mother said this, how could Zhao Tiannan, who was already dissatisfied with this, be able to endure the anger in his heart?

The Queen Mother has only seen such an angry Zhao Tiannan after Han Su's death for so many years, and there is some fear on her face, but thinking of Zhao Tiannan's disdain for Feng Mingwu revealed in her expression, the anger in the Queen Mother's heart gradually overwhelmed the fear of Zhao Tiannan.

Even though she knew that the wisest thing at this time was to shut up, the Queen Mother couldn't help but say something that sounded extremely harsh.

"Does the emperor think that what the mourning family said is wrong?" The queen mother said, "What is the situation of the prince over the years, the emperor must know better than the mourning family, and the mourning family might as well say something ugly, the emperor is now half a hundred, and it is almost impossible to have other heirs in the future. Isn't there no successor to the great martial dynasty? ”

Maybe it was because she was unhappy in her heart, and the Queen Mother was picking Zhao Tiannan's sore spot to speak at this time.

And she did succeed.

The country that has been laid down after more than ten years of hard work has been working hard for more than 20 years. It was only then that the Dawu Dynasty had this prosperous and peaceful scene, and Zhao Tiannan's heart was extremely proud.

But this qiē, if you want to add a "but there is no successor", how sad should it be for Zhao Tiannan?

For the sake of this country. How much he paid and how much he gave up, if he could only get such an ending in the end, Zhao Tiannan didn't even know what kind of expression he should have.

The most painful scar in his heart was ruthlessly revealed, and it was also uncovered by his own mother, Zhao Tiannan, who had not been in love for many years, only felt that he could no longer suppress his resentment towards the Queen Mother for so many years.

He looked at the Queen Mother with red eyes, "Shut up!" ”

The Queen Mother was silent, and when she saw Zhao Tiannan like this, she was subconsciously a little scared.

"Does the Queen Mother really hope that there will be no successor to the country I have worked so hard to fight?" Zhao Tiannan said coldly.

The Queen Mother was shocked. Although one of her instigations in her mother's family was to have some side plans, she never really hoped that Zhao Tiannan would have no successor.

With Zhao Tiannan's situation that he only has one son and one daughter now, and there is no successor, does it mean that he will be the last one?

No matter what, the Queen Mother would not curse her son like this.

The Queen Mother shook her head vigorously, but Zhao Tiannan just glanced at it coldly, and continued: "Why did the Queen Mother shake her head, didn't the Queen Mother have already calculated it, if the prince has something to do with three long and two short, isn't it just like the Queen Mother and the Zhou family, I have no son." But there are many sons of the Zhou family, and when the time comes, if a son is succeeded from the Zhou family to my knees, won't someone inherit this country? ”

Zhao Tiannan said every word. The Queen Mother's body stiffened a little bit.

Zhao Tiannan is right, the Chengen Mansion really plans to do so.

Zhou Tai, the Duke of Cheng'en, is the elder brother of the Queen Mother, from a farmer who eats in the soil, to the Cheng'en Gong who is admired by everyone in the Dawu Dynasty, and has since lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food, and a group of servants, Zhou Tai's ecstasy and pride in his heart can be imagined.

Because of the Queen Mother. Zhou Tai has been sought after for more than 20 years.

At the beginning, although Zhou Tai was proud in his heart, he always kept in mind that he now has this qiē because he has a good nephew, but after a long time, Zhou Tai, who was touted a little flutteringly, gradually got a little carried away.

It just so happens that although there are many concubines in the harem, there is only one son and one daughter under the emperor's knees, and the prince has been inseparable from medicine since he was born.

This made Zhou Tai have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

If Zhou Tai is the most proud thing in his life, one is that he has the title of Duke Cheng'en, and the other is that he has many children and grandchildren.

When he was still a poor peasant with a bitter haha, Zhou Tai was also an honest man, usually only thinking about hard work, hoping that God would open his eyes and exchange the family's rations smoothly, and then his wife and children would be satisfied with the hot kang head.

But later, the eldest nephew, who originally looked inconspicuous, actually made a great career quietly, and finally won the country, thus giving him the title of Duke Chengen.

Zhou Tai only felt that he was sitting in the house, but he received a big pie, and he was almost stupid.

How can there be only one yellow-faced woman in the backyard?

Since then, Cheng Engong has suddenly changed as a person, not only all the maids in the house who have some looks have been used by him, but the beautiful concubines outside have also been carried to the house one by one, and even with them, the concubines and concubines are like collecting leeks, stubble after stubble to the outside.

In today's capital, if there are many heirs, people must first think of Cheng'en Mansion and Chengping Bofu.

One is the mother family of the current Queen Mother, and the other is the mother family of the current Queen Mother.

And the situation of the two families is very similar, they both received knighthoods because of their daughters, and in the same way, after having status, they became abnormal.

There are many heirs, it is a happy event in this era, don't they all say that the branches and leaves are scattered, Chengen Gong Zhou Taike is not ashamed at all, but thinks that he is continuing the bloodline for the old Zhou family, and he is meritorious to the ancestors and ancestors.

Originally, Zhou Tai was only proud of the full house of children and grandchildren in his house, until one time. I accidentally heard two ordinary people passing by talking about it, saying that if the emperor can be like the Cheng'en Mansion today, then the emperor will not be as worried about his heirs as he is now.

It's just ordinary talk, but it's like a flash of inspiration. instantly illuminated Zhou Tai's heart.

So, Zhou Tai, who has never had any ambitions in the past, has a great ambition in his heart from this day on.

The emperor only has a prince like a sick seedling under his knees, and he may face the embarrassing situation of having no successor at any time. But what is the most in his Chengen Mansion, isn't it the most son?

If so, can you talk to the emperor, from the descendants of the Zhou family, one to the emperor's knees......

When the heir succeeds to the throne in the coming day, won't the Chengen Mansion be able to go further?

Thinking of the beautiful scene in the future, Zhou Tai could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly entered the palace, and when he saw the Queen Mother, he told the Queen Mother about his calculations.

The Queen Mother doesn't like the prince either. is not only because of the prince's frailty, but also because Concubine Ning inadvertently got the disgust of the Queen Mother, and conversely, of course, the Queen Mother didn't like Concubine Ning's son.

In fact, even if there is no Concubine Ning, the Queen Mother doesn't have any care for her own son, how much care can she have for her grandson?

The Queen Mother, who didn't like the prince, was actually a little moved by Zhou Tai's three-inch tongue.

That's why the Queen Mother later tried in front of Zhao Tiannan.

It's just that because I know that the stakes are high. The Queen Mother was only a little tempted at that time, and did not tell Zhao Tiannanming, and after finding out what Zhao Tiannan meant, she did not continue to persuade.

The Queen Mother has always thought. He and Zhou Tai's thoughts are well hidden, Zhao Tiannan shouldn't know that they once had such an idea, why now?

"Your Majesty, the mourning family has no ......" Looking at Zhao Tiannan's iron-blue face, the Queen Mother denied it a little helplessly.

"No?" Zhao Tiannan sneered and looked at the Queen Mother's eyes. As if looking at a dead thing without life, "Is there or not, I know it, why should the Queen Mother rush to deny it?" Or did the Queen Mother really think that I had been the emperor for so many years, and I couldn't even find out what a small Cheng'en Mansion was calculating? In this world, no ancestor is looking forward to his grandson's good, I'm afraid only the queen mother would rather give up all the good family business to outsiders, rather than his own grandson to inherit it, okay, it's really good! ”

"The queen mother thinks that if the prince knows these thoughts of yours, how will the prince think of the Zhou family when the prince ascends the throne after I go to the throne in the future?"

The Queen Mother's denial could no longer continue.

Only then did she realize that over the years, because Zhao Tiannan did not refute her, she had never had any respect for Zhao Tiannan, the emperor, in her heart.

She even always thought that Zhao Tiannan was her son, and even if he was the emperor, he should obey her as a mother.

What was it that made her have such a delusion?

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't speak, Zhao Tiannan said again: "Over the years, I have been thinking about the Queen Mother's grace of birth and upbringing, and I don't want to worry about some inconsequential trivial things, and even Su Su's death at the beginning, I have endured it, does the Queen Mother really think that I will believe that without the help of the Queen Mother, Qingping, who was only ten years old at the time, can get that kind of poisonous thing?" ”

"Poisoning the queen of the dynasty, what a crime this is, the queen mother is afraid that she will not be a stranger, right? With Susu's reputation in the court at the beginning, if the cause of her death is discovered, not to mention the Queen Mother and Qingping, I am afraid that even the country of me will have to be re-lifted by those people. Such a serious matter, the Queen Mother only blindly hid Qingping, and even refused to send her out of the palace if I wanted to, thinking of the Queen Mother's love for her daughter, I endured it. ”

"It's just that I forgave in every way, but now it seems that I have not been able to get back the result I wanted, and what I didn't expect was to let the Queen Mother and the Cheng'en Mansion have such thoughts, it seems that my methods are really too gentle."

"Has the Queen Mother forgotten that the reason why you can sit in this Cining Palace, and the reason why Duke Cheng Engong can carry concubines room after room is because I have laid down this country with my own hands!"

"Since the Queen Mother has forgotten this, then in the future, let's think about it in this Cining Palace, I will specially order that no one will disturb the Queen Mother's meditation."

"As for the Cheng'en Mansion, if they extinguish this thought, it's fine, if they still want to make trouble, the Queen Mother will watch with her eyes wide open to see what kind of ending they will have!"

After Zhao Tiannan said this, he flicked his sleeves heavily, and then strode out of Cining Palace.

Behind him, the Queen Mother sat on the chair with a sluggish face, her heart was unprecedentedly sober, but her eyes were full of depression and despair.

The Queen Mother can see that Zhao Tiannan is not joking this time, I'm afraid that from now on, she really won't want to take a step out of this Cining Palace, let alone see anyone outside the palace again, let alone Feng Mingwu who made her worried.

But this qiē, after all, is caused by herself.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother almost went limp.

What did she do to do such a foolish thing?

At this moment, although she was in this splendid and prosperous Cining Palace, the Queen Mother felt as if she was standing in the wind and snow without clothes, and the oncoming cold made her whole heart gradually cold until she was numb...... (To be continued.) )
