Chapter 112: It's just a deal
The emperor's face was a little cold, and he continued: "Yaozhen wants my beauty, and I want Yaozhen's mother's money. Bai Guifei wants the Bai family to get power from me, and I want the support of the Bai family. Including the Queen Mother, the reason why she asked your lobby sister Chen Wenfeng to marry me and let the Chen family support me was also because she made a deal with me. I have already completed half of the transaction with the Queen Mother, who also helped me become emperor. Your maiden family, the Xiao Chen family is also like this, the Xiao Chen family has greatly increased its power through me, and it will become a new family in the future, an existence like the Chen family. I ascended to the emperor's throne through the help of Xiao Chen's family, and now there has been a stable situation, and the country is getting better and better. However, I will not be moved by their efforts, because I gave them what they wanted, and they gave me what I wanted. It's like you're doing business, but it's just a deal. ”
"Since it's a transaction, how can I be moved? What can I do with those who fancy my appearance and my power? Feel deeply grateful? Of course, everything is better than before, being ignored, being bullied by the queen, watching the queen kill my mother, the person who loved me not because of my looks, not because of my power, not because of my identity, the best person in this world for me. It's a pity that she's gone. ”
"Since she left, I have been lonely in this world, but I have endured it. It wasn't until later that I found two more people in this world who didn't help me because of power, and my heart warmed up. These two people, you are familiar with, they are Chongyi and Jingyuan. ”
"Why do you think I should cherish a Yaozhen who married me because of my looks? Besides, what happened to Yaozhen later. You know that too. When Bai Guifei was degraded by me, what did she do? ”
Chen Wenhui was silent, what the emperor said was very right, Wang Yaozhen did not marry the emperor because of the emperor, she was for the emperor's beauty. If an emperor marries a woman for his power, he can accept it, but if it is for his beauty, then the emperor must be unhappy.
Not to mention later. The emperor said. Wang Yaozhen has changed. The things that Wang Yaozhen did later were really inauthentic, whether it was for Lan Caiyu or for the Wang family. It's still a matter of Bai Guifei. Or later. When the Wang family was destroyed, she did not save her mother and relatives. All of them are very inauthentic. In this way, what else does Wang Yaozhen have to sympathize with?
The emperor continued: "I endured all these things, because, after all, she gave birth to a son for me. Not for her, for the sake of my son, I also want to give her a face. Therefore, her mother's family was convicted, but she is still one of the four concubines and a noble woman in this harem. However, what I can't tolerate the most is why she didn't take good care of my son, how could she let my son be killed? The death of my son is for a burial. The first one to go first should be his stupid mother. ”
Chen Wenhui never thought that the emperor thought so in his heart, it turned out that he was so angry about the death of his son. However, if you think about it, you can also understand that the emperor is not very good to his own women, but he has always been very good to his children.
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but say: "Since the emperor wants to avenge the second prince, why did he just give Fan Guiren to death, send the Fan family, and let Yaozhen die, but the real culprit let her get away with it?" ”
The emperor looked at Chen Wenhui coldly for a while, Chen Wenhui felt that the emperor had suddenly changed from the man who was about to vent his inner depression just now, to the cold emperor His Majesty again, and sure enough, the emperor opened his mouth and said: "Of course I will not let that culprit go unpunished. However, she also gave birth to children for my sake, and for my children's sake, I cannot give her death. ”
Chen Wenhui was not afraid because he was the emperor, but sneered and said, "Then how can the emperor take revenge?" Continue to let her spoil the harem like now, continue to make her so powerful, and even in the future, let her children replace the son of the queen mother and become the crown prince? ”
The emperor looked at Chen Wenhui and said, "I won't do anything to her, because she has children for me." However, I will not let go of the sins she has committed. I want to bring down her backer, the Bai family, what do you think? ”
Chen Wenhui was taken aback, this is a major event that shocks the world, and even this matter is more important than the attack on southern Xinjiang, that person's backer is not an ordinary backer, it is the Bai family, a behemoth like her Chen family, such a behemoth, even Chen Wenhui has no confidence to bring it down.
Chen Wenhui said: "The Bai family is not so easy to deal with. At least not to disappear. ”
The emperor said: "I didn't think that the Bai family could end in my hands, but I could strike at the Bai family and turn the Bai family into a family like the current Li family and the Wang family, and could only shrink into their own clan." ”
Now Chen Wenhui understands that although such a family exists, it no longer has minions, and even the women in his own clan can't protect it. For example, the Wang family and the Li family.
The emperor said: "Even if I do this, it is not a trivial matter, just relying on me, I really don't have much certainty, so I want to invite Lord Wenhui to complete this great thing with me." ”
Chen Wenhui was a little surprised, why did the emperor invite her? But think about it, now Chen Wenhui has enough chips in his hands, the Xiao Chen family, the Chen family, the Zhao family, these chips can already become the emperor's allies. Chen Wenhui just thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I agreed to this matter." It can be regarded as the last thing to do for Yaozhen. It's just that if this thing happens, I don't want that woman to be as beautiful as she is now. ”
The emperor said: "When the Bai family has no minions, I will naturally punish her in my way, although she will not die, but I will make her realize her mistakes." ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
Chen Wenhui retired. Out of the door of the palace, Chen Wenhui felt a little depressed, sure enough, the capital is not a good place.
Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi went back together.
In the queen's palace, the queen was very happy to serve the emperor, the emperor did not have an unhappy look on his face, the queen guessed, Wen Hui did not annoy the emperor, the emperor was not angry, and the expression looked very happy. The queen felt that the arrogant Bai Guifei in the harem was going to be unlucky, and she swallowed her anger in the past few years since Chen Wenhui left, and now it is finally time to raise her eyebrows.
The queen was also very happy, this day was a happy day for the emperor and queen of the Great Chu Empire, although the happiness of the two people was due to different reasons.
Outside the palace, it was already late, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi returned to their mansion, they haven't come back for almost nine years, but the mansion is still very beautiful, it can be seen that the housekeeper took care of this mansion very well.
When Chen Wenhui went back, she first went to see a pair of children, who were already asleep.
After Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi finished watching their children, they returned to their main room.
I didn't come back for the new year, and I had a familiar feeling after a while. This is where they got married, and that's where they got started. Now that they are back, the relationship between the two has not changed, but there is a strong affection that cannot be dissolved here.
They didn't come back alone, either. They also had a pair of sons and daughters with them. However, there are still changes in the house, whether it is the repainted walls, the trees that have grown very luxuriantly, or the lotus leaves that fill the lake. The biggest change, though, is that the snow is gone.
After Chen Wenhui freshened up, she lay in Zhao Chongyi's arms, and the two of them were quiet, Chen Wenhui had just told Zhao Chongyi about the conversation with the emperor in the palace.
Zhao Chongyi didn't say anything, dealing with the Bai family, this big thing did not surprise him. Before he met Chen Wenhui, when he and the emperor and Liu Jingyuan were still studying in Guozijian, the three of them had such pride, weakened the four major families, and eliminated the corrupt officials and unreasonable wealthy families in the world. Give the people a blue sky.
Now, Liu Yan has become the emperor, Liu Jingyuan has become the prime minister, and he not only has built immortal feats, but also is about to establish a new family, the Zhao family.
However, all these changes cannot make him forget their original intention, although the old family has not been eradicated, but he wants to establish a new family, but he feels that he has not changed, because his main purpose is to make Da Chu strong and prosperous, so that the people's lives are getting better and better.
Zhao Chongyi knew that sooner or later, the emperor would do something to the Bai family. For his wife, he also knew for a long time that his wife would one day do something to the Bai family. Although the Bai family is his wife's foreign family, it can be said that Wen Hui also has the blood of the Bai family. However, from the time when he was in Jiangnan, Wen Hui knew that the Bai family actually used Yangshantang to drive away and not take in the children of the Wang family, and Zhao Chongyi knew that the Bai family had provoked Wen Hui.
It's a pity that the Bai family didn't know that they actually forced Wang Yaozhen to death. Zhao Chongyi, who had seen Wen Hui's friendship with her little sisters, knew how much Wen Hui valued her sisters, so at that time, when he was in Tiebi Pass, he knew that when he returned to the capital, Wen Hui would do something to the Bai family.
As Zhao Chongyi, who has the same goal as his wife, how will he choose? Without a doubt, he must be the most staunch supporter of his wife.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chongyi hugged Chen Wenhui and said: "It's good to be back home, but it's impossible for us to live a peaceful life." It can be even more tiring here than living in the Northwest. ”
Chen Wenhui was very moved by her husband's understanding, and she said to Zhao Chongyi: "Yes, there will be a storm here, Da Chu has been too peaceful for a long time, and he is going to move." How can we not make waves when we are at this meeting? ”
Zhao Chongyi looked at his somewhat naughty wife and smiled. (To be continued......)
