When Qin Ke heard the words "Princess Leping", his face was pale, and he didn't tell the truth for the first time, so he only said: "Don't worry about this matter anymore!" Treating her like this is not only the meaning of the saint, but also my meaning. , the latest chapter of the visit wèn:. It's Feng Huan, he has gone through hardships and dangers, and the court should give him preferential treatment. ”

Shen Man knew that there was a lot of article here, so he didn't say more, Qin Wan guessed a little, didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "That is the case, the titles of several brothers and sisters still need to be discussed." ”

"Discuss what? Just throw it to Zongshoji Temple and the Ministry of Rites. Qin Ke said nonchalantly, and then said, "By the way, those small ones, don't give them a title yet." They are too young to suppress their blessings, and we will see later. ”

Qin Ke's sons, according to the order, are counted as 'jade'. The eldest son Qin Kun and the fifth son Qin Yan have died, and further down are the sixth son from Lu 'Chun' Cao, and the seventh son from the Zheng family, these two children are too young to even have a name, let alone a title.

Shen Man nodded, and Qin Ke said again: "A few small ones, all raised in your palace, if they are respectful, you can let them look at the children a few times, if they are not respectful, don't let them contact the children." ”

Speaking of this, he added a sentence very unhappily: "Lao Liu and Leping have followed Zhong Jieyu for too long to become this moral 'sex'!" ”

"Mother and son are connected, I won't be this wicked person." Shen Man said sincerely, with a smile in his eyes, and a little disgusted, Qin Ke was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to say something, Qin Wan suddenly asked: "Speaking of Zongzheng Temple, have the people of the temple been selected?" ”

Qin Ke coughed dryly, looked around, Shen Man knew his intentions, and said with a smile: "You guys stand down!" He named a few more people and asked them to stay, and then said, "They are all credible people." ”

Hearing his wife's statement, Qin Ke didn't doubt it, but he still whispered: "They are holding this matter down for the time being." ”

When Shen Man heard this, his brows furrowed, Qin Wan sneered, and said disdainfully: "The heart of a villain, it is really the heart of a villain!" ”

Qin Ke looked at the 'girl' in amazement, and said humbly: "Bao'er, isn't this right?" He thought it made sense, so he agreed!

As soon as my father became the prince, someone wanted to be a demon.

Qin Wan had already guessed this, so he didn't say it in advance, but picked this time, and when he heard the words, he said: "The qualifications are enough to be Zongzheng, it is none other than the King of Lu and the King of Shu." In good conscience, none of us ...... willing King Lu to be the upright, otherwise he just instigated Qin Jing and fanned the flames behind him, which was uncomfortable enough."

"That being said, but" Qin Ke hesitated for a long time, and then he was a little embarrassed to put his heart into his wife's 'daughter', "The King of Shu is not close to us, and when I 'befriended' Nanzheng, his brothers were not very happy...... "I am afraid that the Duke of Nanzheng and Qin Ke will get closer, and the new emperor will ascend the throne in the future, and the interests of the King of Shu will be damaged."

Because of this, when his officials put this matter under pressure, making the king of Shu anxious, and then selling him a good one and recovering it, Qin Ke felt that it made sense and planned to do so.

Falling to Qin Wan is another way of saying it.

"The heir of Shu is the eldest son of the king of Shu, the grandson of Emperor Taizong, and the cousin of your in-laws, what a noble status, how can he be treated with the art of the emperor?" Qin Wan unhurriedly analyzed his father and mother, "The King of Shu didn't rely on anyone before, and although Mingzhe's approach to protecting himself was unpleasant, it also proved their caution. Now that the title of the prince has been decided, do you think they will follow the prince? Or is there another plan? You couldn't be more upright and act in a dignified manner, why are you confused in such a big matter? ”

Speaking of this, he added with some regret: "Although the adults in the East Palace are kind-hearted, how much do they know about the royal affairs?" It is wrong to persuade you to treat the clan with the same way you treat the monarch and courtiers! ”

She didn't say a word, but Shen Man understood, and Qin Ke also vaguely understood that if they had a lot of candidates to choose from, it would be right to press the result, but now there is no one to pick at all, for them, only the king of Shu to become the emperor of Zongzheng Siqing is the best, why make the other party unhappy?

No one is born angry, and tolerance is half because of cultivation, and half because of the status is not as good as others, so they have to endure it. The clan is the most noble group of people in the world, especially like the King of Shu, who is very close to the emperor's bloodline, and is a descendant of the main family, how can he not be a little arrogant?

Qin Ke has always been obedient to his 'daughter', but Shen Man has another view: In order to consolidate her husband's position, she wants to win over the clan, but thinking that the attitude of the King of Shu and his family before was not friendly, she felt a little guilty in her heart. If it weren't for the 'girl' explanation, she might have agreed with Qin Ke's current approach, but hearing Qin Ke's explanation, Shen Man immediately tightened a string.

All her power, status, and decency come from ten years of hardship, from her husband's trust, respect, unconditional obedience and even dependence on her. This is the source of her survival, and it is a guarantee that she must not lose, and now that her husband has become the prince, she can't lose these, otherwise the identity of the childless main room is likely to become her lifeline.

The officials of the East Palace actually tried to exert influence on Qin Ke...... Can they talk about moving Qin Ke today, suppressing the family of the King of Shu who has no grievances and no hatred, will they not be accustomed to Qin Ke's connivance with her tomorrow, and persuade them to give up their unique status and be a mediocre queen and princess?

At the thought that he might face such a situation, Shen Man shuddered.

She is a 'female' person who has a strong control of 'desire', and when she is in the palace, she has to catch her inside and out, and whoever dares to pinch her head will swallow the bitter fruit. Now that Cheng Dù has changed from a back house to a court, she naturally has to be vigilant, so she didn't say a word, and said: "Bao'er makes sense, they are all a family, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons." Zongzheng can only be held by a person of high moral character, except for the king of Shu, who else is older than you? ”

Qin Ke was already convinced of his wife and daughter, but when he heard them say this, he was a little ashamed, and couldn't help sighing: "Hey, I'm also confused!" I should listen to you more about these things, outsiders."

"All of you are ministers who seek the country, our knowledge is limited, how can we do it if we don't learn more? It's just that I compare my heart to my heart, and I don't think it's necessary to do that step, so what's the point of really being cold from a high place? Qin Wan said with a smile, "Aye, you are right, outsiders, after all, there is a word 'outside', and in many things, we may not be completely of the same mind." If you don't have your own little abacus, then it's not a person, don't you say? ”

She said better than she sang, and in just a few words, she pitted all the officials of the East Palace, Qin Ke also thought that her heart was pure and kind, and she thought about herself, so she couldn't help nodding again and again: "You said it well, I will go and tell my father tomorrow." After thinking about it, I still felt guilty, and said hurriedly, "No, I have to write the excerpt first, there will be a big court meeting tomorrow, if my father nods, I will present the excerpt at the big court meeting." ”

Shen Man said a few words softly, sent Qin Ke away with a smile, and sat lazily on the chair before asking, "Do you have an opinion on them?" ”

"Auntie." Qin Wan didn't answer, but asked, "You take care of the East Palace these days, do the people from the Lu family and the Zheng family walk with the wind, and they are taller than the people from the Li family and the Zhu family?" ”

Shen Man is also a smart person and understands what Qin Wan means.

There is always a difference between being in power and being an advisor, even if Shen Man says nothing in the harem, there is no way to stop people from leaning on concubines who have sons. If you can live happily for a lifetime with the emperor's love and respect alone, why did Empress Mu press Qin Ke to deal with King Liang, and want to support King Qi and ask his biological mother to back down?

Shen Man has a deep affection for Qin Ke, but compared to Queen Mu, she is much worse than a saint. Empress Mu rarely thinks about what will happen to the saint a hundred years later, even if she supports King Qi, she thinks a lot about the Mu family. But for Shen Man, although the word "Queen Mother" is not close, it is not far away, she will think about this, and calmly weigh whether it is the happy life of the Queen Mother who is raised in the harem, or the Queen Mother who listens to the government.

And her heart's 'sex' also made her choice very naturally biased towards Empress Lu.

"You're right." After thinking calmly, Shen Man said unusually calmly, "I can't count on other people's charity to get by. "Only her 'daughter' and her husband can make her back down, and others don't have to think about it at all.

Qin Wan walked to his mother's side and said softly: "That's it." The courtiers are always men, and we are 'women'. As long as it is a man, he will not be happy to see a 'woman' in charge, not to mention Aya's 'sex' son...... "Whoever can influence him will be able to hold the supreme power of the empire and say nothing."

Shen Man pursed his lips, and his thoughts had been completely taken away by Qin Wan: "They and we have never been of the same mind. ”

After she married Qin Ke, in order to cater to her husband's preferences, she also forced herself to read some books. Therefore, she knew that Liu Bang wanted to abolish the crown prince and protect it from the ministers, in order to be the inheritance of the empire, the young and the old orderly, and not to change the 'chaos', instead of sympathizing with Liu Bang and sharing weal and woe, and having fallen into the enemy camp and suffered a lot. They ignored that Empress Lu was also a virtuous and virtuous 'daughter' before, and in order to keep his status and son, he would help Liu Bang kill Han Xin, and bear the notoriety that Liu Bang didn't want to bear, and gradually became ruthless in a sinister environment. They saw that there was only the dictatorship of Empress Lu, and they attacked it vigorously, but they did not mention the source of the tragedy, which was a man.

There is no fool who can stand above the court, don't they know why Empress Lu became like this? They know, but they are men.

Shen Man didn't have to think about it to know that in the eyes of men, she accompanied Qin Ke to exile for ten years, this is what she should do, Qin Ke is good to her, and he has already given her a long face. She should keep this glory, rejoice, be a childless queen in peace, raise her concubines with all her might, and then be a quiet and troublesome queen mother.

But why?
