Speaking of the scene she had just seen, Concubine De gritted her teeth and said, "It's the prince, and the king of Shu hasn't done it." Today, I let that scumbag walk with my arms, what does this mean? It shows that your father is really old and wants someone to help share some of the burden. I just judged this, not to mention your uncle who didn't see this scene at all?

"In a hurry, what idea can he come up with? If your uncle is hasty or does what you do, then he will really hurt you. You still haven't understood your father, with your father's shrewdness, if there is any criticism in the court at this time, you don't need to send someone to investigate, you can immediately guess who is the main messenger behind the scenes? ”

"Why are you in a hurry? How can such a thing be solved in a hurry? If he really enters the palace to manage the government, it will be the best time for us to trip him. He did a good job in the aftermath of Zhengzhou, but how can he govern a government compare with governing a country? Although he did a good job in the aftermath of Zhengzhou, under our persecution, he also exposed his over-impatience. ”

"Entering the palace to manage the government? As far as he did in Zhengzhou, how could the civil officials of the court obey him? And those clans who still regard their mother and son as mortal enemies, will they also obediently obey? Don't forget, he once offended those people in the clan who could speak in the Wende Temple. ”

"The clan and civil officials have been offended by him, and the remaining generals and nobles may not really support him. Even if he really supports him, he can win the world immediately, but he can't sit in the world. Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, in addition to the king of Huaiyang County, which military attache dares to interfere in court politics? ”

"The civil officials don't cooperate with him, the clan is making trouble in secret, and even directly hindering him, how do I think he should deal with this politics when the time comes? Your uncle is right, after he enters the palace to manage the government, you go to one of his errands. When the time comes, with the support of me as a mother, and the prestige of your grandfather and uncle among the civil officials, and fully cooperate with you, it will be difficult for you to do it well. ”

"He can get your father's attention, but he has barely made an errand in Zhengzhou, so that your father is quite satisfied. But Zhengzhou is just a place, how can it be compared with the world of the Great Qi Dynasty? There is a cavalry battalion in Zhengzhou to support him, and when I get to this Beijing, I want to see if there is another commander who dares to openly support him? ”

"Without the minions of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, he is nothing. What if your father really let him run the government? As long as he hits a wall everywhere, and you take care of the political affairs handed over to you in an orderly manner, even if your father is pampering that slut, will he still be iron-hearted and make him the prince at that time? So, the first thing you get is to calm down, and a good meal is not afraid of being late. Your mother and I are not dead yet. ”

Concubine De's words can be regarded as scheming, but King Song may not really listen to them. Hearing that Concubine De calmed down, King Song couldn't help but say a little eagerly: "Mother, that son is watching, he is married to the county lord of Guilin County's palace?" So a person like a fairy, how can that cheap breed be worthy of others? ”

King Song's words almost didn't make Concubine De half angry. After talking bitterly here for a long time, he was still thinking about that woman. Concubine De, who was so angry with King Song that she lost her mind, gave King Song a big mouth without saying a word, and said angrily: "When did you still think about that woman?" ”

"In your heart, is the throne important, or is the woman important? It's just a woman, who actually makes you so dizzy, it's at this time, and you still miss her? Have you forgotten how that slut in the Wende Hall humiliated you, my mother and son? I see you're really stupid. ”

King Song was directly dumbfounded by Concubine De's slap, covered his face for a long time and didn't speak, standing in front of Concubine De at a loss. In his impression, this is the first time that his mother, who has always been responsive to his needs, scolded himself so harshly. Doing it to yourself is the first time to break new ground.

Looking at her son who was slapped stupidly by herself, Concubine De couldn't help but soften her heart a little. What can you do with your own son? However, I feel distressed, but I hate Concubine De, who is not made of steel, but her tone has not dropped by half a point: "You really deserve it, it's a good thing to marry that slut at this time?" Let me tell you, your father is preparing to take back the right of Guilin County to trade with foreign countries. ”

"You also think about it, the Guilin County Mansion has been eating alone for hundreds of years, how can your father be willing to take it back at this time? During this period, there may be some sword light and blood shadow, and sooner or later you will have to tear your face apart? When the time comes, how should you deal with yourself, and how should your father view you? It's not a matter of whether you, the prince, can sit down, let alone the prince. ”

"I'm a woman like me who doesn't leave the palace, and I can see what's going on. As a dignified prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, the tenth son of the emperor still can't see it? I'll tell you the truth today, don't even think about this matter in the future, let alone mention it, it's completely dead. I have already mentioned it to your father, and I will marry you after the New Year. ”

Speaking of which, looking at King Song with a face full of grievances, Concubine De's tone finally softened a little and said: "Look at your little bit of talent, now for you, the throne is the first." As long as the throne is in hand, aren't all the women in the world yours? Even if you still have a crush on that slut, isn't it a matter of holy decree to want to take it over? ”

For Concubine De's reprimand, King Song, who was still a little unwilling, was not really convinced: "The mother concubine said that her son forgot the humiliation he received in Wende Palace. But the mother forgot that it was not the mother who first asked her uncle to propose marriage to the king of Guilin County, and then asked her father for it? How is it that now, all the blame is on the son? ”

"Yes, I was trying to find you a foreign helper. The two kings of Jing and Duan committed rebellion, but your father only sent the king of Shu and the scumbag to quell the rebellion, but he turned a blind eye to you. What does this mean? It shows that your father has never been regarded as a candidate for the prince. At that time, I thought that the crown prince's position was not guaranteed, and it was very likely that the successor would be the king of Shu. And you have no advantage at all when you compete with the King of Shu. ”

"It just so happened that the king of Guilin County brought his children to Beijing and asked your father to marry. Guilin County Mansion is not only the first hero of the founding of the country, but also the richest in the world. As long as you become the son-in-law of the Guilin County Palace, and you have the huge financial support of the Guilin County Palace, you can compete with the King of Shu. It's just that I didn't expect that the King of Shu suddenly had an accident, and finally cheapened that. ”

"Although that lowly race is not afraid of power in the court, in the eyes of his father, he has already begun to make contributions. You fight him in this regard, unless there is a great chaos in the world, and your father is willing to send you to lead the army, you will not have much chance of winning. For the sake of today's plan, he can only buy and win over officials and secretly confront him. That's why I carried your father behind your back and asked your uncle to propose marriage for you. ”

"At the beginning, I was only looking for a powerful helper for you, but some things were neglected. If it weren't for your uncle's repeated reminders, you would have almost made a big mistake. Judging from the information I have received now, your uncle's judgment was still correct. Maybe you really become the son-in-law of the Guilin County Palace, which will be your biggest obstacle in the future. Therefore, the one who laughs first may not have the last laugh. ”

Hearing Concubine De's analysis, after all, King Song, who was not stupid enough to go home, was silent. Although there is still some unwillingness, there is a sentence that Concubine De is to the point. Although the beauty is good, where is the throne important? As long as the throne is in hand, aren't all the beauties in the world their own? Even if you take that woman, it's just a matter of words.

Seeing that her son was silent, Concubine De, who knew that he had finally listened to what she said this time, also sighed in her heart: "Although I said that I gave birth to two sons and one daughter, there is only one one survivor." Because he is an only son over the years, he is indeed a little too pampered and doted on. Cultivate his character of only looking at the present, never looking at the long-term, and looking ahead and ignoring the future. ”

"Such a big person, he doesn't know that he thinks more about everything, and he has to think about him and worry about him. When will he be able to make himself more worry-free? Just look at his current style, there is the opponent of that. Could it, and the rest of his mother's life, really be able to rely on him? ”

However, this doubt only existed in Concubine De's mind for a very short time, and it was replaced by a strong desire for power in her heart. She is unwilling to be an obscure imperial concubine after her husband's death, and she has to look at other people's faces no matter what she does. Enjoying the supreme honor of the queen mother is the honor that the emperor has to bow down to, which is what she wants to get.

What's more, for this concubine, what she wants is not only the glory of the queen mother, but also the family behind her. Now, Concubine De's family seems to be unusual, but signs of decay have faintly begun to appear. At that time, the father who faintly became the leader of the civil officials of Daqi was already in his last years and had been sick for several years. And his brother is still only a third-grade official.

Over the years, especially since the empress was seriously ill, the emperor gave himself the right to control the affairs of the six palaces. But Concubine De already felt that not only was this right quite limited, not to mention that she was not allowed to interfere in Xue Xuan's affairs, and she had almost become an independent existence in the entire harem. It is the Ministry of Internal Service and the Shanggong Bureau, which are two departments that should have been managed by the queen, and she has no right to interfere at all.

Those who wanted to remove a Shanggong bureau were all rejected by the emperor. This concubine De, who is now in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, even feels that she is an ornament. What frightened her even more was that since the empress began to fall seriously ill three years ago, the emperor gradually began to snub her. She didn't know how many days the Emperor hadn't set foot in her bedchamber.

Even if he is old and decrepit, he will not let the emperor avoid it like a snake and scorpion. The most important thing is that no matter how much effort he tries, his brother has never been able to go further. Although he has achieved the high position of Zhengsanpin, he is not in Honglu Temple, or he goes to the current Sinong Temple, and he is always going around in the Qingshui Yamen, and he does not even have the title of a university scholar.

At present, my father has been in bed for many years, if it weren't for the unscrupulous means he has obtained in the past two years. According to the imperial doctor who was sent by the emperor to diagnose the pulse, I am afraid that there are no people for a long time. But even if it is barely maintained, it will be sooner or later. However, his eldest brother is not in a high position, and he has not been promoted to a level for many years.

The second brother, although he is the prefect in the land of Jiangnan, has not been promoted to the first level for many years, and he is always transferred back and forth in the position of a fourth-grade official. Listening to the people in the Ministry of Officials, the emperor has made a clear decree, and he will transfer his second brother to Shandong Road as a warehouse ambassador after the year, and this position has a good reputation, but in fact, he is still a fourth-grade official.
