Chapter 445: Cooperation with the Empress
"Aunt Wang, don't you know, don't look at the mourning family as the queen now, on the surface, it is indeed beautiful. However, today's Han court ...... Hehe, it's really hard to explain, it's too complicated. ”
The queen smiled faintly, and said insincerely: "I think, there are some things, you don't need to say it, I believe Aunt Wang, you also understand." Our women's family, in fact, is that the mother is more expensive than the child. What kind of queens, nobles, these are all imaginary. Your son Liu Xian is okay, with his own ability, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Wuyong, and now he has established a mansion again, no matter what happens in the future, you have a person to rely on. Can be ...... Alas......"
The queen sighed.
"Queen, you also have a prince. It's just that the prince is still young, and in time, he will ascend to the Ninety-Five, and at that time, won't the queen enjoy the same eternal wealth? "Ma Gui is humane.
"Aunt Wang, I treat you as my own family in the future, so I won't hide it from you, what you say will be in the future...... I don't think there will be. When the queen said this, her eyes turned red, and she said as if she was about to cry: "The emperor has done evil to the queen, and he doesn't like to argue, and he should be the crown prince, but the emperor wants to make Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, the prince...... That is, the prince from Wang Meiren......"
"Huh? How could this be? Ma Guiren really didn't know about these things in the palace, she said with some surprise.
"This is the case, and there is no way for the mourning family. If that day really comes, I, the queen, will die sooner or later, even if I will not be deposed immediately. In the middle of the court, there are really a lot of people who want to die after this. Even Benhou's brother is unreliable, so he really doesn't know what to do. “
Liu Xian listened to the queen's words, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, this queen, she used to be too ruthless, and during the years when the emperor favored her, I am afraid that many concubines in the palace were suppressed by her, and even Wang Meiren was poisoned. You know, which of those beauties in the palace isn't more or less related to the powerful ministers in the court? Her suppression of those beauties in the palace is tantamount to offending those powerful ministers in the court. Now she wants her son to be made the crown prince, which is probably really difficult.
If nothing else, let's just say that Wang Meiren, who was poisoned by her, is not without a little background. Especially when Wang Meiren was favored, Wang Meiren's mother's family was also given by the emperor, and now there are still officials in the Han Dynasty.
What's more, if Wang Meiren's son Liu Xie was named the crown prince, how could people not avenge the poisoning of his mother? Even if you don't have the ability now, when you ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, it will be the queen's death.
Therefore, Ma Guiren may not know the queen's current difficult situation, but Liu Xian, who is familiar with this period of history, knows it.
To put it bluntly, even the current emperor is also in the prime of life, and the eunuchs in the palace are definitely not ready to choose the crown prince to help the queen speak? Isn't this also tantamount to offending the emperor? Although the eunuchs in the palace can control the forbidden army of the palace, some things are balanced against each other. On the surface, they also had to obey the emperor's orders, and they had to maintain a false respect and caution towards the emperor. There are too many factional interests involved, even if they are eunuchs, they also have to face the pressure of the powerful ministers and relatives in the court. If they didn't have the emperor's favor, what if they controlled the forbidden army in the palace? Do you dare to rebel?
Liu Xian knows these situations very well, so he feels that the current palace is a little funny, it is estimated that the queen is now also the six gods and no master, and she can't be in a panic all day, this may be called knowing that this is the case, so why bother in the first place?
"Queen Mother, you are the Empress of the Han Dynasty, these situations you are worried about will not happen, right?" Ma Guiren didn't know how to respond or comfort the queen who looked a little sad at this time.
"Hehe, big man...... Since the dynasties, are there still fewer deposed queens? The queen said gloomily.
Ma Guiren opened his mouth, and he really didn't seem to know what to say. She knew that Queen He was the Queen of Song before her, and she stepped on Queen Song to ascend to the throne of the queen.
"Aunt Wang, Brother Liu Xian, in addition to coming out of the palace to congratulate the establishment of the mansion, I actually want to talk to you. Can we work with each other? “
"Cooperation? What can we work with? Liu Xian interjected with some interest at this time.
"Of course." The queen looked at Liu Xian and said, "Brother Liu Xian, we are also Ming people who don't talk darkly." You're not in a good situation, right? Before you came to Beijing, Aunt Wang was actually under house arrest by the emperor in the palace, right? Do you think the emperor will let the people related to the first emperor live in peace? If it's just some women's families, he may be able to let it go and ignore it, but Brother Liu Xian, you are a man. For the Emperor, you are an unstable factor that can threaten the stability of his country. If we cooperate, at least, the queen can know some things in the palace, and we can exchange news with you in a timely manner, so that you will not be so passive. ”
"Queen Mother, how do you want us to cooperate?" Liu Xian doesn't think that the current queen can help herself, after all, although she is called the queen, she is actually deposed, and in the palace, I am afraid she has no real power. Therefore, Liu Xian is really not so interested, if he has to say that he is interested, Liu Xian's heart is indeed a little greedy.
Queen, the beautiful royal sister, even if Liu Xian already has a horse nobleman of almost the same type, but such a woman is really not afraid of many. In fact, if you can conquer her, it will make Liu Xian feel more fulfilled, which is also more accomplished than with Ma Guiren.
"The queen wants you to help push it, so that the emperor can make the queen prince the crown prince. As long as Wang Er is made the crown prince, then it is equivalent to the future emperor, and the queen will also become the queen mother. When the time comes, I will make an order as soon as possible and make you king. Brother Liu Xian, then you are the real imperial uncle, the prince above 10,000 people under one person. The queen said in a somewhat seductive tone: "Brother Liu Xian, think about it, after all, Benhou is a woman's family, and the Han Dynasty does not allow a woman like Benhou to participate in politics." And this queen Wang'er, after all, is too young, and you have to rely on you for many things. At that time, in the imperial court, Brother Liu Xian, you will inevitably be in power. ”
Liu Xian couldn't help but be a little speechless when he heard this, he was a little suspicious, was the queen in front of him the ruthless queen? As the saying goes, what she says now is easy to say? You know, once this spreads out and reaches the ears of the emperor, doesn't this mean that she is cursing the emperor to die early so that her son can ascend the throne?
This is already a great rebellion. If the emperor knew, she, the empress, would be deposed immediately.
"The queen is cautious, these words, the queen mother, you really shouldn't tell me and the righteous mother. If these words leak out, your situation will be even worse, Queen. What's more, the queen also said that our situation is not good now. We simply don't have that ability to help you become the crown prince. Liu Xian shook his head and said.
It is unlikely that Empress Zhu will put Liu Wei on the throne of the crown prince, and in this history, the current emperor has not really been crowned a prince after his death a few years later. However, Liu Wei was the emperor for a few months.
When the queen saw Liu Xian say this, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but she turned to Ma Guidao: "Aunt Wang, this matter must help me, after all, Ma Guiren is from the Plains Palace, and there must be some courtiers who are in contact with you, this only needs to be pushed, and the matter can almost be settled." After all, the queen is still the queen, and the prince is also the eldest son, so it is reasonable to be the crown prince. Aunt Wang, do you say yes? ”
The queen really didn't want to leave the palace for nothing. She really felt that she and Ma Guiren should be sympathetic to each other, and they should have a lot of common language with each other. Especially Ma Guiren's current situation is not good, and he should join forces with her.
And the queen also knew that if she missed this opportunity, she would have no better excuse to talk about these things with Ma Guiren and Liu Xian next time. She can't leave the palace casually, and she can't summon Ma nobles into the palace at will.
"Actually, it's good for us to communicate with each other. At least, if the emperor wants to deal with you, the queen can also inquire in advance, and inform you in advance to deal with it...... "The queen is really a little anxious.
Ma Guiren was a little moved, but for her, she didn't know how to push the emperor to make the empress's son the crown prince. couldn't help but look at Liu Xian and said, "Xian'er, look...... What can be done about this? ”
"Queen Mother, in fact, we can cooperate, but everything must be arranged by me. You can't be in a hurry about pushing the prince to the position of the prince, if you believe me Liu Xian, then we can't cooperate. Liu Xian knows the progress of history, so he might as well agree to cooperate with the queen, after everyone cooperates, then there will be more opportunities to be together in the future.
"Listen to your arrangement? You...... What are your thoughts? The queen frowned, she didn't want the cooperation between Ma Guiren and Liu Xian to be too passive.
"Queen Mother, in fact, you don't have a choice. Let me tell you this. Now the prince is still too young, even if he is pushed to the position of prince, it will not play a major role in the overall situation. Do you think that after the prince is crowned prince, your status in the palace will be improved? No, it won't be, on the contrary, you will be more difficult, and when the time comes, the emperor will only be more wary of you. Moreover, the civil and military forces in the court will not deliberately throw themselves at you as a child. Because, now that the emperor is upright and in his prime, no one will be in a hurry about the establishment of the prince. ”
Liu Xian persuaded: "If the queen is in a hurry and makes some actions, then it will make the emperor think that you have other plans." Hehe, even if he doesn't plan to abolish the queen at that time, he will be forcibly abolished. The gains outweigh the losses. ”
"Oh...... said this...... "The queen was suddenly shocked in her heart, she was woken up by Liu Xian, and she also felt that she seemed to be too anxious, once the emperor knew that he was in a hurry to make the prince the prince, then I don't know what the emperor would think and what he would do to her.
"Empress, if you believe me Liu Xian, then from now on, you don't have to do anything, and you can educate the prince with peace of mind every day. Seriously, whether to establish a prince or not depends on the prince's ability, if he can learn well by heart, the emperor will see it in his eyes, and he will be exquisite at that time. The prince of that Wang Meiren is a few years younger than the queen Wang'er, right? What does a child know? These are your strengths in the queen. ”
"Do nothing after that? What if? ”
"There is no eventuality, and even if there is a case, what can you do? Besides, there are some things that you can't ask for. But if you don't ask for it, maybe someone will help you. Let's put it this way, your brother He Jin, he is now a general, and he has a pivotal position in the Han court. I don't know why your sibling relationship is so stiff. However, even if he doesn't help you put Wang Er on the throne of the crown prince, he will never watch the emperor appoint the prince of the king and the beauty of the prince as the crown prince. If there really is a day in case, General He Jin will definitely jump out to oppose it as soon as possible. ”
"Brother, will he?" The Empress was deeply skeptical.
"How not? Don't forget, Queen. He Jin's general did not rely on his personal ability to do it. That's because of your relationship with the queen mother. If you are deposed, the queen mother, the one who will have the greatest impact is General He Jin, and he will definitely not watch such a thing happen. ”
Philistines disturb themselves.
Liu Xian thinks that the queen is like this now.
As the queen, she failed to see the subtlety of the Han court today. At present, all forces are in a state of balance. No one would suddenly come up with something to upset the balance.
In fact, this balance was not upset until a few years later after the death of the emperor. When the time comes, the parties of the imperial court will be the time to live and die.
"Queen Mother, in fact, you don't do nothing, you can secretly let your henchmen inquire more about the news, and help me have a certain say in the Han Dynasty as much as possible. As long as I, Liu Xian, can have a place in the Han Imperial Court, when the time comes, I can help you. Let's put it this way, the position of the crown prince is not important, the important thing is whether I can ascend the throne in the future, I Liu Xian can guarantee that if there is really that day, I will definitely help the queen and the prince ascend to the throne. ”
It is naturally the best to be able to be your own person with the queen. This is equivalent to making the queen an undercover agent lying in the palace, and in the future, she can learn a thing or two about the movements in the palace through the queen. And that's a good thing.
"Do you really have to do anything after this?"
"Yes!" Liu Xian affirmed: "In the palace, you should do whatever you want on the surface, and try not to make any attention-grabbing moves. In this way, the emperor will feel that you are safe, and he will no longer deliberately watch out for you. ”
