On the second day, the news that the four princes were not stupid had come out, which was still said by Emperor Xia Hui, I heard that Emperor Xia Hui was overjoyed and gave Ning Wangfu a lot of rewards, but the person who was really surprised was Queen Shen.

No, the four princes did not enter the palace, but Queen Shen had already announced that Concubine Tang had come to Fengyi Palace, and Concubine Tang listened to the four princes, and she was excited all night last night. At this time, she was rumored to Fengyi Palace, and she also arrived with a somewhat uneasy heart, following Queen Shen's side, Concubine Tang didn't know what Queen Shen wanted to do.

But the son was just right, Concubine Tang was not willing to be pulled into the succession all of a sudden, plus the crown prince has been established, and the ten princes are still young, Concubine Tang doesn't want the four princes to be pushed to the cusp of the wind and waves to become the rake of the emperor and the whetstone.

Although she is deep in the harem, she also knows that the contradiction between the Empress Dowager Cui and Emperor Xia Hui has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and Princess Wei often enters the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager Cui, and it is rumored in the palace that Princess Wei has won the love of the Empress Dowager Cui, and even Wei Zhaoyuan has also gained face in front of the Empress Dowager Cui.

The Wei family's heart is big, especially now that General Wei has survived and has not been knighted, he must be unwilling in his heart. If the Wei family supports the king of Ruijun to the throne, has the merit of following the dragon, and is the queen's mother, it is certain that the Wei family will be knighted and worshipped.

The title of the Great Xia Kingdom is very difficult, only the queen's mother family can be knighted, and when the Empress Dowager Cui was still Queen Cui. The Cui family came out of the cabinet and the prime minister. At that time, because of the lineage of Taishi Liu, the Cui family resigned from the title to the first emperor. The first emperor praised the Cui family as worthy of the famous Zhong Ding, and they were not greedy for fame. Do not admire power, do not seek glory and wealth, high wind and jade bones, such integrity should be a model for the world.

It's just that the Cui family really doesn't ask for it, the Cui family has the power of the cabinet and the position of prime minister, but the court is above one person and below ten thousand people, they just give up the false name of the title. It's just a bigger one. Facts have proved that the Cui family is indeed smarter than the flamboyant and powerful Liu Taishi, although he resigned from the title, but the position of Empress Dowager Cui as the queen is stable, and he has to be trusted and relied on by the first emperor.

After Emperor Xia Hui successfully ascended the throne, Empress Shen's mother family was made a marquis, and the Cui family naturally looked forward to Emperor Xia Hui giving the Cui family a title. However, Emperor Xia Hui didn't want the Cui family to sit big, especially after the death of the first emperor and Liu Taishi, Prime Minister Cui Cheng had the tendency to dominate the court. Even if Prime Minister Cui Cheng is his eldest uncle, Emperor Xia Hui is still on guard.

After all, it's next to the couch. Do you not allow others to sleep soundly?

Emperor Xia Hui was thinking about sealing the left and right prime ministers and dividing the rights of Cui Cheng, if Cui Cheng was interested, it would be okay for Emperor Xia Hui to give his mother a title.

But Prime Minister Cui Cheng was unwilling. He is the head of the hundred officials, and although he also has the power of the cabinet, the power of the cabinet is only when major events occur in the DPRK and China. Or when there is a major event in the Great Xia Kingdom, it shows its privileges.

The power of the Cabinet is enormous. But it can't be used in ordinary times, the position of prime minister is the head of a hundred officials. Under the emperor, the power of the cabinet is the right given by Emperor Taizu to the eight great families who fought the world together.

With the power of the cabinet, their eight families have also lost their titles, in fact, this is also the choice of the eight families, for them, the title is virtual, and they can have the power of several cabinets to veto the emperor's rights, that is the most important thing.

Otherwise, there is no title, but there is no real power, what is the use.

The power of the current cabinet is a headache for every generation of emperors of the Great Xia Kingdom, which was set by Taizu, but it does not mean that the emperor likes it.

With the title, the emperor can take it back, but the power of the cabinet is determined by Emperor Taizu, only if the descendants of these eight families are not extinct, then there is the power of the cabinet.

Emperor Taizu was not so willing in his heart, but there was no way to force it out of form, so he strictly understood the premise that the heirs of the lineage were not extinct.

In this way, the lineage handed down by the descendants of the family is not extinct, and they have always had the power of the cabinet.

The Liu family has been destroyed, and the Yan family's lineage is Yan Qinghao here, which is why Emperor Xia Hui wants to use Yan Qinghao, and Yan Yuheng is also in his favor.

As for the Tang family, as soon as the father and son of the Tang family died, there was no successor to this lineage. And although the current Tang family is the line of the previous patriarch, it is not the line of the cabinet, and no one from the branch of the patriarch has ever entered the cabinet.

In the past, the power of the cabinet was separate from the power of the patriarch, and the power of the cabinet naturally recognized the descendants of the cabinet.

And in this generation, Prime Minister Cui Cheng is the patriarch of the Cui family and the cabinet elder of the Xia Dynasty, and the same as Prime Minister Cui Cheng is Bailikong.

It's just that Bailikong was originally the patriarch, and he had Bailiyun qualified for the power of the cabinet, but Bailiyun was not selected. Bailikong is also both, and because of this, the old lady and Bailiyun have always had prejudices against Bailikong, and feel that Bailikong does not give his brother-in-law a way to live.

But the people in the clan are more willing to let Bailikong become the patriarch, even after Bailikong entered the cabinet, they still haven't changed, so there were many people who supported Bailikong to become the patriarch at that time, and Bailiyun was defeated again.

This is also the language trap of Emperor Taizu, this time, the former Tang patriarch wants to enter the cabinet, or wants to pass his son to the Tang family's father and son. But Emperor Xia Hui did not agree, and even Concubine Tang never let go, although it was her maiden family, she was already married, but who let the emperor not want to, someone from the Tang family re-entered the cabinet.

And the families don't want anyone to divide the power, one less person, the more prestige their rights will be.

There is no Liu family, after the Tang family, and now the power of the cabinet is owned by the Cui family, the Shen family, the Baili family, the Wei Chi family, the Liao family, and the Yan family, and these six families have a share.

The adults of the cabinet of the court and the central government are equivalent to the elders of the hidden gate, but they cannot ignore the queen mother, the queen, the crown prince, the prince and the Zongzheng order, and the princes of the powerful clan, who belong to the royal family.

Although the Cui family resigned from the first emperor and was praised, they were very concerned about the title in their hearts. And who in these families does not want to be knighted, but they can choose one of the two rights of the title and the power of the cabinet, and they only have the right to choose the elders of the cabinet.

As for the title, if there is a queen in the family, it will be fame and fortune.

In addition to the queen's mother family can be knighted, the courtiers have to fight for military exploits, like the father and son of Tang Guogong, and Yan Qinghao.

Unlike the Cui family, the Shen family has two marquises, in addition to the queen's brother, there is also the queen's uncle. The Shen family started with military merits and was the queen's mother, and these two hereditary titles don't know how envious the Cui family is.

This is also the reason why the Shen family can compete with the Cui family now, but the Shen family is also guarded by Emperor Xia Hui.

I heard that when the first emperor was in the first emperor, the Shen family also had a concubine, but she was cannon fodder in the battle between Empress Dowager Cui and Concubine Liu Xian. Now that everything is wrong, only the Cui and Shen families know that the Cui family and the Shen family have been fighting for so many years, how Queen Shen looks at the Cui family proudly.

At the same time, Empress Shen was reluctant to look at Duan Guifei's mother and son ascending to the throne, and now Empress Shen's eyes were also on the four princes, this thought made Empress Shen smile bitterly, never thought that the person she chose in the end would be the four princes.

"Mother, it's time to take medicine." Concubine Tang took the medicine bowl handed by the palace maid and tested the poison with a silver needle, and then after the palace maid tried it, she tried it again before serving it to Queen Shen.

"Sister Jing, now that the fourth prince is sick, you are also bitter." Empress Shen drank the medicine fed by Concubine Tang in her mouth, but she was a little envious when she looked at Concubine Tang.

"It's good to see him, and I'm content in this life." Concubine Tang had a warm smile on the corner of her mouth, she didn't fall asleep all night last night, she was afraid that she was dreaming, and her dream would be shattered when she woke up the next day, so she didn't dare to close her eyes.

Empress Shen looked at Concubine Tang, whose face was a little haggard, her eyes were obviously bloodshot, and she also knew that Concubine Tang was excited and hadn't slept well all night. At this time, Empress Shen was very envious of Concubine Tang, and finally exhausted the organs, but she didn't expect that she would become a loner.

Although Empress Shen still has the eldest princess who married into her mother's family, for Empress Shen, the crown prince is gone, and the grandson can be born safely, she has nothing, everything is gone.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Ning has come down to greet you."

According to the rumors outside, Empress Shen also finished drinking the medicine, and when she heard the four princes coming, she glanced at Concubine Tang and said to the palace maid with a smile: "Hurry up and invite His Royal Highness King Ning to come in." ”

During the conversation, the palace maid quickly retreated, and soon saw the four princes calmly stepping into the inner hall, kneeling down and saluting after five steps from Queen Shen's sickbed: "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is blessed." ”

"Good boy, don't be polite, you are a filial person, you can come, the queen mother is very happy, give your mother a gift." Although Empress Shen was weak, her eyes were full of smiles, and she looked a little more energetic.

"Thank you, Mother." The four princes saluted Concubine Tang again, and then got up.

At this time, Empress Shen looked at the four princes with childish faces, and also believed the words of Emperor Xia Hui, at this time, Empress Shen's heart moved, and she was even more satisfied with the four princes, such a prince was exactly what she needed.

It's just that she hates her body for not fighting, Queen Shen is powerless at this time, if it weren't for this dilapidated body, why would she be like this.

Empress Shen was not afraid of Empress Dowager Cui's strength, if it weren't for her own physical reasons, she was confident that Empress Dowager Cui was not her opponent, and she was careless at the beginning, so she was so restrained.

"Hong'er, if you have more time to go to Fengyi Palace to see the queen mother, after your eldest brother goes, the queen mother will only have one of your caring sons left." Empress Shen called the four princes forward, held the hands of the four princes, and looked at Concubine Tang as she spoke.

Concubine Tang didn't have any expression, she was really uncomfortable with Empress Shen's words, but Empress Shen was the queen of the Middle Palace and the mother of all the princes of Emperor Xia Hui, this is a fact.

And Concubine Tang was even more shocked that Queen Shen's words had hidden meanings, her eyes looked over, but she saw Queen Shen's seriousness, and at the moment she had a bad premonition in her heart-
