Chapter III: Struggle for Rights
Yun Qinghan's main source is still local eunuchs, because he has been concerned about people's livelihood issues in recent years, and he has also seen the benefits of the people.
Yun Qinghan has a good relationship with some local officials, and he can deal with things well, which is also the best thing that Yun Qinglin does.
Of course, this is only the current relationship, as for whether it will change in the future, it depends on the trend in the court in the future, if the emperor is very obviously partial to one of them, the result is self-evident.
Yun Qinglin came to the "Wanchun Palace", where the buildings are splendid, the pavilions in the courtyard are too large and small to count, and there are all kinds of small birds that are imprisoned in cages on the roof for viewing.
The cobblestone path, winding and winding, stretches all the way forward with no end in sight. There are also a lot of maids and guards here, and the guards are also very tight.
"How about it, do you have enough ability to win Yun Qinghan?" A woman wearing a red tail dress embroidered with a phoenix and a yellow dragon and phoenix hollow golden hairpin on her head held several strings of jade beads in her hands, and her delicate nose bridge and sharp eyes showed a posture that could not be bullied.
This is the queen - Wang Xuefu, the mother of the second prince Yun Qinglin, it is precisely because of Wang Xuefu's status in the court that Yun Qinglin will also seem very smooth when he does some things.
"Don't worry, mother, the crown prince will definitely be mine!" Yun Qinglin has a bunch of tricks to deal with Yun Qinghan.
"However, Lin'er, now that the emperor often goes to the imperial concubine He Heyu, you have to grasp the opportunity as soon as possible to take the crown prince." Wang Xuefu clenched the jade bead in her hand tighter.
"If He Heyu hadn't given birth to a son earlier than me, it would have been impossible for her current status to be favored by the emperor, and I would definitely not let her have a good life!"
"Okay, mother, the most important thing now is to get the crown prince, and I will seize the opportunity!"
"Mmmm, I believe you!" The queen has always been ruthless, she can do anything, and confronting her is in a sense equivalent to an egg hitting a stone.
The red agate diamond ring on the queen's hand looks very dazzling in the sunlight, thinking that this is a token of the emperor's personal gift to her, and she has been reluctant to take it off for so many years.
Her heart was more resentful, because the emperor no longer favored her, and she had no love except for getting power in the palace.
"It's a little cold, I'll help you go back first."
"Okay, you love me the most." Yun Qinglin's mouth is very sweet, and he is also very good at flattery.
"Lord Wang, the current situation is as you can see, we are not in a good position now, so we must reverse the situation." Yun Qinghan and Li Hao were in the room discussing what direction the next situation should develop.
"Tell me, do you have any good ideas now?" Yun Qinghan asked.
"There is a way, but it depends on whether you are willing or not, and you need to sacrifice some of your interests." Li said.
"And what exactly do you mean by the method?"
"Now the situation in the court is obviously favorable to the second prince, so we need the most important person to mediate from us, then who do you think this character will be?"
"Could it be that you are talking about Prime Minister Ruan Xiao? But according to his usual style, he doesn't manage our affairs, and he is not a very good person to deal with. Yun Qinghan said carefully.
"That's right, so if we want the prime minister to side with us, the best way is for you to marry her daughter, and naturally she will stand with you." A smile appeared at the corner of Li Hao's mouth, as if this plan had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
"I still need to think about this matter and make a decision later." Yun Qinghan's heart is still very entangled, and he really needs to think about this matter.
"Are you worried about Princess He Ling, if you marry the daughter of the Ruan family, Princess He Ling will have a certain estrangement from you?" Li Hao always seemed to be able to see his mind clearly.
Yun Qinghan nodded, "Yes, I said that I would only marry her." "It seems very helpless, after all, the situation in the court is in front of you.
"With all due respect, Princess He Ling doesn't really like you, don't be blinded." After Li Hao finished speaking, he turned around and got up, preparing to leave here.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by that?" A trace of sadness could be seen in Yun Qinghan's eyes.
"This requires you to make a good judgment, and it's not convenient for me to say anything, I can't stay here for a long time, or if I don't have the emperor, there will be obvious flaws." Yun Qinghan was the only one left in the empty room, and he was also thinking about the connotation of this sentence repeatedly, after all, Father-in-law Li was still very accurate in seeing people.
The final choice of everything is still up to him, whether to compete for the position of crown prince, or to stop there.
Princess He Ling, the daughter of the king of the Western Regions, stayed during a visit to Beijing. The two are of the same age, and Princess He Ling has lived with Yun Qinghan, Yun Qinglin and others since then.
However, Yun Qinghan had already fallen in love with Princess He Ling from the first sight, but Yun Qinglin also liked her, which Yun Qinghan didn't know.
Compared with other princesses, Princess He Ling is more prominent in her unique temperament and way of dealing with things, because her inner ambition is also very big and has not been exposed.
Princess He Ling and Yun Qinglin are truly in love with each other, and the two of them have the same purpose, which is to bring down Yun Qinghan, so that the status of the two of them will also be improved.
So this is also the reason why Princess He Ling is deliberately with Yun Qinghan, with Yun Qinghan's sincere love for him, she can do what she wants to do unscrupulously, and she thinks that she will never find out.
Thinking of what Li Hao told him about Princess He Ling, Yun Qinghan felt a very headache, and he returned to the mansion early to wash up and rest.
However, along the way, he thought about it and felt that what Father-in-law Li said was still very reasonable, otherwise he would not have been able to say that Princess He Ling was not good for no reason.
Yun Qinghan had never doubted her before, but now that he thinks about He Ling's actions, it is indeed very strange sometimes, which also has to make him have a certain degree of vigilance.
"Xiaocai come in, I have something to explain to you." Yun Qinghan said.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xiaocai lit a stick of incense for Yun Qinghan, which could make him sleep well.
"In the past few days, you have watched to see if Princess He Ling's whereabouts have changed, remember not to be discovered."
Xiaocai nodded, "Okay, I know, then you can sleep well tonight." ”
There are some things that will always appear inadvertently, as if there is some kind of opportunity, and as if God has arranged it in the dark.
