Chapter 53: The Failed Emperor

Empress Chen looked at the emperor who was looking around, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't look for it." I've been waiting for this day for a long time. A qiē has already been arranged. ”

The emperor's face, which was originally all sick, instantly turned black. The emperor thought to himself, it seems that today is more auspicious and less auspicious, Empress Chen has been managing the harem on behalf of Empress Wang since she was a concubine, and after so many years, the harem has long been controlled by her very strictly. Come to think of it, those little palace maids and little eunuchs are all obeying Queen Chen's orders. Only Huang Chun is faithful. However, at this time, why is Huang Chun not here? By the way, Empress Chen said that she had already arranged a qiē, but she was afraid that Huang Chun would be separated. As long as Huang Chun can come back, it will be easy to do, and he will be saved. Therefore, what matters now is to delay time, as long as it is a long time, Huang Chun will naturally come back, and he will be saved at that time.

Thinking of this, the emperor calmed down and said, "It seems that the queen wants to kill me and avenge my emperor, right?" ”

Empress Chen suddenly smiled weirdly and said, "Will the emperor be afraid of death?" Does the emperor know? If I wanted you to die, there would have been countless opportunities and countless ways to make you die. Do you know why I chose the day today? ”

The emperor thought about it, Empress Chen was in charge of the entire harem, so naturally there was an opportunity to harm him. Not to mention anything else, he was sad because of Ying's death back then, and he was bent on death, at that time, if Empress Chen hadn't summoned Princess Lichuan to persuade him, he might have died. The emperor thought of this and said a little strangely: "If you are afraid of the crime of killing the monarch and refuse to do it for a long time, then it was because of the death of the Ying family." When I'm seriously ill, as long as you don't call Lichuan to persuade me. I'm afraid I'm already dead, so why bother so much today? ”

Empress Chen snorted coldly and said, "Naturally, I can't let you die at that time." At that time. If you die, it is a well-deserved death, the happiness of death, and you have everything in this life, wealth, status, fame, and fortune. Rich in the world, became an emperor, and defeated the barbarians. This is more powerful than all the emperors in history, and it can even be compared with the Fusu Emperor of the previous dynasty. The only thing missing is women. If you die for the first beauty in the world, won't it make countless men in later generations envy to death? How can I let you do such a good deed? ”

The Emperor frowned.

Empress Chen said: "When you want to die, I don't want you to die, but when you don't want to die, I want you to die, this is revenge." The emperor said no? ”

The emperor couldn't help but say: "I always thought that Empress Wang was a femme fatale-hearted woman, but I didn't expect you to be more vicious than her. ”

Empress Chen said: "Your Majesty, this is exactly the problem I want you to face. Have you ever found that the woman you have pampered all your life. Most of them are femme fatales, I won't talk about it, and I won't talk about it. Wan Guifei, the emperor won't forget jì, right? How many concubines are there in the palace. The pregnant concubines were all killed by her, not to mention anything else. Concubine Qian's child was killed by her, wasn't she? Let's talk about your favorite win. How about her? In order to take revenge on you, in order to poison the Great Chu Dynasty, she deliberately made a Wan clan. Even Wan himself didn't know his life experience, and he was played with by her. ”

"She is also good at using poisons. The emperor didn't remember that the eldest daughter of the Zhongyi family was originally going to enter the palace, so because she gave the girl of the Tian family a bottle of poison, he poisoned the eldest daughter of the Zhongyi family. The emperor also posthumously sealed her concubine? It can be seen how vicious this win is. Your Majesty, have you ever wondered why you have loved beautiful women all your life, but the women you love are all beautiful femme fatales? ”

The emperor thought about it.

Empress Chen continued: "The emperor's life is to work hard to weaken the power of the family. If my emperor were not the mother of the daughter of the family, you would not be so cold-blooded. If the former prince born to Queen Wang hadn't had the blood of the Wang family, you wouldn't have looked at him unpleasantly all the time until you forced him to rebel? In order to dislike the family and weaken the family, the emperor was scheming in his life, and even sacrificed his son. But the result? ”

"The emperor is proud of weakening the Wang family and the Li family, right? However, don't the Wang family and the Li family have zài? They are still here, and they are still developing very well in the clan land. It's just that the power in the court is a little worse. However, the Wang family and the Li family have not been weakened. The Chen family rose by then. The enemy in the northeast of the Chen family, the barbarians, has been wiped out by the emperor. The Chen family has no enemies, how fast has it developed in recent years? ”

"Not to mention, because the emperor and the Chen family made out the sea trade and Shanghai City, the Chen family became rich. In addition, now that the Goguryeo Peninsula has been collected, the clan territory has expanded. The Bai family is the same, although the Bai family's clan land has not expanded, but the Bai family has now become wealthy because of cotton planting. Snobbery has also increased dramatically. ”

"In addition to the original four families, hasn't the emperor discovered that a new family is about to appear? One is Xiao Chen's family. How many territories does Xiao Chen's family have overseas now? Waguo, Yizhou Island, and the four cities of Nanyang. Isn't that big enough? It can already be compared with the area of the Chen family's land. There is also a Zhao family that is about to be formed. ”

The emperor was puzzled: "Which family is the Zhao family?" ”

Empress Chen said: "It's Zhao Chongyi, who is married to the lord of Wenhui County." She now has four cities in Nanyang, and there may be more in the future. These cities are naturally the children of the Zhao family that she will give birth to in the future, aren't they the Zhao family? ”

The emperor was a little dumbfounded.

Empress Chen said: "In the emperor's life, not only did he not weaken the power of the family, but from four families to six, this is a merit that is more powerful than the previous dynasty and the emperors of the Great Chu." Hahaha. ”

When the emperor thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a burst of remorse, his heart felt as if he had been fried in oil, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, and he was held back by him.

After Empress Chen saw it, she was extremely happy, and she was very happy to make the emperor uncomfortable.

Empress Chen said: "In this life, the emperor has always looked at the former prince unpleasantly, and felt that he had no talent, and he was born in a family. So, in the end, he was forced to rebel. Now, the emperor has appointed this Liu Yan as the crown prince. His mother's family is lowly, just a flower maker in the capital, even now, the whole family is not an official in the court, just a rich man in the capital. Such a prince must make the emperor very satisfied, right? Do you think there's a successor? ”

The emperor looked at Empress Chen, his eyes were already full of resentment.

Empress Chen said: "However, the crown prince Liu Yan, who was carefully selected by the emperor, had to use the women around him in order to win the heir because his mother's family was too poor and weak. First of all, I was the daughter of the Chen family, and later even the daughter of a merchant family in Jiangnan was also brought into the palace. The merchant's house provided Liu Yan with a lot of money. However, has the emperor ever wondered where the money came from? This money is the merchant's house, the shaved people's fat and people's ointment. Because of this, does the emperor know how many common people, merchants, and landlords are persecuted? ”

The emperor didn't know about this, but he also knew that Empress Chen was talking about the crown prince Liangdi, Wang Liangdi's mother's family. Wang Liangdi's mother's family is from the Royal Bank. Therefore, there is money to supply to the crown prince Liu Yan. But according to Queen Chen, this Wang Liangdi's mother's family is so guilty that it is a huge tumor, which is really unimaginable.

Empress Chen said: "This is just the first cancer caused by Liu Yan. Does the emperor know? In the future, Liu Yan will also cause a second and third tumor. Why? Because he is conceited and inferior. He came from a poor background, did not have a tough backstage, and did not have an excellent upbringing, so he would listen to the opinions of the daughter of the family when he encountered things. used to listen to Chen Wenfeng's opinion, and later listened to Bai Liangdi's opinion. In this way, if it weren't for the Chen family or the Bai family, they would be brilliant in Liu Yan's dynasty. Moreover, now, Liu Yan's harem chaos has appeared. Several daughters of the family have princes, and in the future, there will inevitably be cruel battles in order to win the heir. The consequences of such a battle should be clear to the emperor. Great Chu's national strength will be consumed. Haha, this is the good heir you have chosen. ”

The emperor held back the anger in his chest, and the green tendons in his neck became violent.

Empress Chen continued: "The emperor probably wants to delay time at this time, waiting for Huang Chun's old man to save you, right?" I advise the emperor to die of this heart. Do you know why I chose Liu Yan as the son-in-law of the Chen family and supported him to become the prince? ”

The emperor chuckled in his heart. It seems that his mind was seen through by Empress Chen. It is very likely that Huang Chun will not be able to come back. Moreover, at this stall, Empress Chen mentioned the matter of the crown prince Liu Yan, and it is very likely that it was the prince Liu Yan who stumbled Huang Chun. It really doesn't feel good to be killed by his son and his own queen.

Empress Chen said: "Back then, I originally wanted Concubine Qian to give birth to a son, and then I would be the adoptive mother of Concubine Qian's son. Of course, if Concubine Qian really gave birth to a son, she would definitely die of illness in a short time. At that time, I was able to adopt Concubine Qian's son as a matter of course. It's a pity that this qiē was destroyed by the slut of Concubine Wan, and Concubine Qian's son was miscarried before he was born. There was no way, I had to find another way. ”

"At that time, I suddenly discovered Liu Yan, and it was a really good opportunity. He has no biological mother, he is an adult, as long as he becomes the son-in-law of my Chen family, I can let the Chen family support him to ascend to the throne, and with my support, he will definitely be able to win among the princes, which is much faster than supporting a newborn baby. ”

"So, I made a deal with Liu Yan. I supported him with all my might. However, he had one condition to grant me. One day, when I went to him with Yu Ruyi, he had to follow my arrangement. If he listens, he will give me this golden hook as a reply. Of course, he agreed. Your Majesty, with his cleverness, at that time, would he not have thought that what I wanted him to do was such a thing? (To be continued......)
