Hua Chong motioned for Hua Yun to pour him some tea, took a sip slowly, and said, "The affairs of the royal family are very complicated. And the things in the harem are the most complicated, and the water here is very deep! Yun Jiao'e is favored by His Majesty, and it sounds like she is still a special pet and an exclusive favor, so all the concubines will hate her. The deeper she was favored by His Majesty, the deeper the other concubines hated her. If she really won His Majesty's exclusive favor and exclusive favor, then she and the other concubines would be a great grudge between you and me, and no one could resolve it. The competition for favor between the concubines in the harem is ostensibly for His Majesty's favor, but things are by no means that simple. In the harem, where is there any love, love, and favor between men and women, what is difficult to fight for is His Majesty's favor, in fact, what is fighting for is the ninety-five supreme throne in the Qianyuan Palace! I used to let you climb Yun Jiao'e, and it was a climbing in the background. At the same time, we also made friends with other concubines and nobles behind our backs. Therefore, if we cling to Yun Huan'e behind our backs, we can only get the benefits of clinging to it without its disadvantages. Moreover, I am already the county guard of the feudal officials, and the Hua clan is not much worse than that, and we cling to Yun Jiao'e just to be able to make Yun Jiao'e available to me, the icing on the cake. But once you recognize your relatives, it will be public, and Your Majesty will personally designate it and make it clear to the world. In this way, we have become Yun Xuan'e's pawns. Why? Because Yun Jiao'e has His Majesty's favor behind her, we can't afford to offend, so we can only be at the mercy of Yun Jiao'e. Therefore, now we are used and controlled by Yun Xuan'e. You say, isn't it very troublesome to recognize your relatives? Because of a Rukawa Maiji, we became enemies with all the concubines for no reason. Concubine, it's not easy! They are not only His Majesty's concubines, but also involve the forces behind them. Who is behind the concubine? It is a prince, a relative, a clan, a nobleman, and a wealthy family. After we confess our relationship with Yun Jiao'e, no matter which prince becomes the emperor in the future, we will not be favored! Ay! Ever since I got this letter, I've been thinking about how to crack it, and after all these days, I haven't found anything! Ay! Scourge, scourge! ”

Hua Chong's words were something Hua Yun had never thought of before. Hua Chong's helpless appearance, Hua Yun had never seen it before.

Hua Yun's brain turned very quickly, pondered for a while, and said, "Ah Weng don't be in a hurry. The son thought that things were not necessarily so pessimistic. It's not like we're out of the cracks. ”

"Oh?"

"Ah Weng, since all the concubines regard us as enemies, and all the princes will not favor Hua's when they ascend to the throne, then we simply leave them all aside and assist Yun Jiao'e wholeheartedly." Hua Yun poured another cup of tea for Hua Chong, and then said, "If Yun Jiao'e can successfully give birth to the prince, then we will do our best to support Yun Zhuo'e's son and put him on the throne of the emperor." Isn't that what it takes? ”

Hua Chong's face suddenly changed color, and he said, "Hugh is talking nonsense!" How can you speak lightly of the establishment of the young master? Supporting the young master, there are fewer victories and more defeats in the history books. If it is successful, it will be able to make a lot of profits in the short term, but when the young lord grows up to be pro-government, most of the heroes who support it will be liquidated. If it fails, it will not be able to turn over for generations. I dare to do anything for my father, but I don't dare to get involved in such a stupid thing as supporting the young master. With our Fahrenheit wealth, as long as we are not involved in the establishment of the throne, no matter who becomes the emperor, we can always protect the throne. Even if we can't be the best people, we can be rich enough for generations. Supporting the young lord is really worth the loss! ”

For the first time in her life, Hua Yun felt her father's fear and distress. The father who was infinitely beautiful and comfortable on weekdays is gone.

Hua Yun said again: "Ah Weng, the matter has come to this, we don't seem to have any other way out, right?" Aung don't be discouraged. As the saying goes, 'blessings and misfortunes depend on each other'. The world is going around, and it can be transferred in an instant, and no one can predict it. ”

"Now, that's all we can do. Among the concubines, there are just other people, but the queen is difficult to restrain herself. She is a well-known jealous woman, and now Yun Jiao'e is so favored, she has no way to take Yun Jiao'e, but she can instruct Prime Minister Yu to clean us up. Is this really hard? But if I deliberately take refuge in Prime Minister Luo, I will not only offend Captain Dou, but also arouse His Majesty's suspicion. After thinking about it, there is no way to crack it. Ay! What a distress! Knowing this, I would never have offered these ten Ryukawa Maidens in the first place! It's really asking for trouble, asking for trouble. ”

Hua Chong said about Queen Luo and reminded Hua Yun, so he said: "Ah Weng, Queen Luo doesn't seem to be what the world says. A few days ago, Queen Yu went to Yinglu Palace to see Yun Jiao'e once, and took care of Yun Jiao'e quite a lot. I thought that Ah Weng should have been on the road at the time, so I did not send a letter to Ah Weng to explain what had happened. ”

"Oh?! Is there such a thing? Tell me about it. Be as detailed as possible, and don't miss a single detail. The finer the better. Be careful, don't say your own perceptions and speculations, just state what happened. ”

"Yes." Hua Yun then recounted how Queen Yu arrived at Yinglu Palace, what she said, and what arrangements she made.

Hua Chong asked a few more questions, and then fell into a long deep thought.

A pot of tea was drunk. Hua Yun went out, walked out of the bamboo forest, crossed the small bridge and added a pot of tea, Hua Chong came out of his contemplation and said, "Abnormal must be a demon." The queen is so abnormal, and suddenly does extraordinary things, there must be her extraordinary intentions. In your opinion, why did she treat Yun Huan'e so abnormally well, and be so inexplicably friendly to you? ”

Hua Yun was at a loss for a while, and said, "The child is dull, please advise Ah Weng." ”

Hua Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "If my guess is correct, Empress Yu is going to start raising the rank of Prince Jiarong for her son and seeking the position of crown prince!" ”

"Huh?! Ah Weng, isn't Your Majesty going to make Prince Jiarong the crown prince sooner or later? He is the eldest son born to the queen, and his status is extremely valuable, according to the legal system, he should be succeeded by His Royal Highness, can other princes still pass him? Although His Majesty now said that he would restore his crown prince position after the king of Canaan recovered and restore the throne to the Longwu Emperor, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a temporary trick, and the throne will definitely be passed on to His Majesty's own prince. If the throne is passed to His Majesty's prince, it will definitely be His Royal Highness, the eldest son. Does the queen use it to fight? ”

"One thing, what you said is right, Your Majesty will definitely pass on the throne to his son, and will never return to the line of Emperor Longwu. However, it is not certain whether this son who has obtained the throne is Prince Jiarong or not. ”

"The royal system is there, is there any variable? Why does Aung have this question? Ask Aung for advice. ”

Hua Chong patted Hua Yun's shoulder, touched Hua Yun's head again, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, I often tell you, what is the most important thing about how a person does things?" ”

"Aung always teaches children that the most important thing is to 'put themselves in their shoes'. Ah Weng often said that whether it is communicating with people, talking to people face-to-face, or analyzing a person's work, as long as you can completely put yourself in their shoes, you will be invincible! ”

Hua Chong nodded and said, "Very good." So, now, let me ask you, if you are Your Majesty, your brother Emperor Longwu suddenly dies, and the throne of Xiaojia, who originally belonged to your nephew and has long been the crown prince, falls to your head, and you break the legal system and succeed to the throne, what are you most afraid of? ”

Hua Yun replied quickly: "I am most afraid that the world will suspect that I am not in the right position, and I am afraid that the world will question my legal system." ”

"No, no! Although the emperor also cares about the opinions of the world, he does not need to be afraid of the opinions of the world. You think about it again. Let me remind you once more that Your Majesty inherited the throne from Emperor Longwu. I ask you, what kind of person is Emperor Longwu? ”

Hua Yun said: "It is the emperor who opened the world and is unprecedented, and he is the holy monarch admired by all the people." ”

Hua Chong continued to shake his head and said, "No, no, no! Yun'er, you haven't fully put yourself in their shoes yet. You have to let go of yourself completely and imagine that you are now His Majesty himself. Now, you are not your own Huayun, nor are you a prince or a nobleman, but the younger brother of Emperor Longwu, a Prince Yongcheng who has always indulged in lust and wealth, and has almost never asked about political affairs! Think about it again, you suddenly got the throne, as a person who has become an emperor, what will you be most afraid of? ”

Hua Yun had a flash of inspiration and said, "I am most afraid that the throne will be unstable." ”

"Good, good. But it's not thorough enough. Let me ask you again, why are you afraid that the throne will be unstable? ”

Hua Yun said while sorting out his thoughts: "Because I am worried about Emperor Longwu's henchmen. These people are all capable ministers and good generals who followed Emperor Longwu to fight the world, and they are also promoted by Emperor Longwu who is eclectic and breaks the convention from low-level generals and low-level civil officials, and these people are loyal to Emperor Longwu. His Majesty unexpectedly crossed the existing crown prince and succeeded to the throne as the emperor's younger brother, and these confidants of Emperor Longwu would be dissatisfied. First, they were dissatisfied with the legal system of His Majesty's succession; Second, they may be dissatisfied with His Majesty's ability to govern and his prestige. ”

"Good, that's kind of interesting. You're able to name these people, and you're looking for them accurately. It is these confidants of Emperor Longwu. But just the 'dissatisfaction' of these confidants and cronies is not enough to make His Majesty 'afraid'. If you think about it again, what is Your Majesty 'afraid of' them? ”

"Are you afraid that they will support the former crown prince and the current king of Canaan?"

"Nope! This is not fundamental. ”

Hua Yun has already blocked his thinking. Hua Yun's strength is that he is well-versed in the world, but after all, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he is not very familiar with the highest political activities of the imperial court, so he honestly said: "The child is dull, please ask Ah Weng for advice." ”
