After Li Xi's throne was secured, in order to ensure the permanence of the country, Li Yuying, the powerful ruler of the courtyard, secretly set two principles for choosing concubines in his heart: first, those who have no worries about the tyranny of their relatives, and second, those who obey themselves and do not interfere with the regime. In this case, Concubine Min and Min Ziying, who are relatives who have a good relationship with their family and are also orphans who have lost their fathers, have become excellent candidates.

Under the mediation of Min Ziying's adoptive brother Min Shenghao, Li Yuying's wife Min recommended Min Ziying to him. After the first round of auditions, five show girls, including Min Ziying, were finally shortlisted. At that time, people were most optimistic about Jin Bingxue's daughter, because Jin Bingxue was a veteran of the imperial court, and before Li Xi ascended the throne, Jin Bingxue had said to Xingxuanjun Li Yuying: If he can make his daughter the new princess, he will support Li Yuying's son Li Xi to ascend the throne. At that time, in exchange for support, Li Yuying agreed to Kim Byunghak's request. In addition, the relatives of the princess Zhao and the daughter of Zhao Mianhao are also optimistic. But these two girls are particularly scruples of the courtyard king, because the background of the two is too deep, and it is likely that they will use their family background to interfere in court politics after becoming princesses, and then threaten the royal power. So Li Yuying broke his promise to Jin Bingxue, and ignored the support of the eldest princess for their father and son, and made his own decision to make Min Ziyingne the new princess.

In fact, there are some things that can't be said about this arrangement, because after careful calculation, the Min family is not only one year older than Gaozong, but also Gaozong's aunt and relative. But this is nothing in the eyes of Li Yuying, the monarch of the courtyard who practices iron-fisted politics. Li Yuying thought that in this way, he could eliminate once and for all the hidden danger of the dictatorship of his relatives, and at the same time make himself a clan relative and a national relative, which was really a clever move to consolidate his power.

Li Xi obviously didn't appreciate his father's good intentions, he didn't have any sexual interest in his little aunt, but played well with a palace maid named Li Shun'e. Concubine Min, who first entered the palace, was hung for three years, and she could only rely on learning Lei Feng to do good deeds and reading books every day to kill time. Originally, Concubine Min was still a little grateful to her father-in-law for bringing her, and she didn't have excessive expectations for politics, after all, she was still young and could wait until her father-in-law became an old. But because of the birth of a little boy, everything has completely changed, and the pattern of the inner court carefully deployed by Li Yuying was destroyed by his own hands.

Li Xi and Li Shun'e do activities that are not suitable for children every day, and it is inevitable that there will be some consequences, so when Guo Xing'a fought with the Russians in the Outer Xing'an Mountains, Li Xi had his first son, Wanhejun Li Dong. Originally, it was a happy thing to have a little prince, but because of Li Yuying's one-step move, the Korean royal family was completely torn apart.

As the saying goes, the mother is more precious than the son, and there have been many harem officials and relatives groups in North Korea, because the young son is filial to his mother, and Li Yu should decide to solve this problem from the root. Li Yuying was not ready to make Concubine Min's future son the son, but fell in love with the newborn Li Yuan. This is a high-level move, Li Yuan's biological mother Li Shun'e has a low status, and she cannot participate in court politics without the support of a strong family background. Concubine Min, the mother-in-law, although she has a background family, is not biological after all, and her ability to influence Li Yuan is limited, and she cannot control the court situation. If Li Yuying's plan succeeds, even if the problem of relatives that has plagued North Korea for hundreds of years is solved, things are not as smooth as Li Yuying imagined, because Concubine Min does not agree.

Li Shun'e is pregnant with Liujia, so naturally she can't do embarrassing things with Li Xi, and Li Xi is not a guy who loves her, so it is very reasonable to empathize with her. Concubine Min is a genuine princess, and everyone inside and outside the palace says that she is good, plus this little aunt is really good, Li Xi and his genuine wife were like glue before Li Cheng was born. The husband finally threw himself into his arms, and Concubine Min's life was of course full of light, but at this time, her father-in-law wanted to set up someone else's child as an heir, and of course Concubine Min inevitably stood on the opposite side of her father-in-law, and she wanted to fight for her future children.

Li Xi, who has no opinions, has long become Concubine Min's captive, of course, this captive relies not only on the love of husband and wife, but also on Concubine Min's ability. Li Xi's admiration for Concubine Min's young appearance is one of them, and the most important thing is that Concubine Min can help Li Xi make many decisions, which is too important to Li Xi, who has no opinions. Li Xi is a patient with severe dependence, he can't do anything by himself, and someone must give him ideas. Li Yuying's father has always been Li Xi's reliance before, but his father can't be by his side forever, and the sixteen or seventeen-year-old child also has a rebellious mentality, and Concubine Min has become Li Xixin's dependence.

After Concubine Min tied her husband to her chariot, she still needed to develop a group of pawns, which seemed difficult, but it was actually very easy. Li Yuying is very successful, he doesn't have many friends, but he has a lot of enemies. The first one to be included in Concubine Min is Concubine Min's maiden family, Lixing Min. The Min family has easily produced a big lady and a princess, of course, they also want their family to prosper, even if they can't be as powerful as the Anton Kim family, they will have to be in power for decades. Li Yuying has been trying his best to suppress their relatives, and suddenly wants to make Li Shun'e's son the son, but he has offended the entire Min family, of course they have to come out to avenge themselves.

Anton Jin didn't need Concubine Min to win over, so he took the initiative to lean over. Jin Bingji, Jin Bingxue and others all have personal grudges with Li Yuying, and Anton Jin's Group was even attacked by Li Yuying, so it doesn't matter what Concubine Min wants to do, as long as they can deal with Li Yuying, they are willing to participate.

The last one to come forward was the Fengyang Zhao clan, but instead of joining Concubine Min's command, they won the leadership of the anti-Li Yuying alliance for the anti-guest mainstay. Zhao Chengxia and Zhao Ningxia of the Zhao family, although their abilities are good, they can't suppress Concubine Min in terms of identity, but the princess Zhao behind them can play a decisive role, and Concubine Min has to bow her head. Although Concubine Min, who is less than twenty years old, is talented, she is too young to lead the major forces after all, but Concubine Zhao, who is high in seniority and status, can do this. Legally, Li Xi is her son, Li Yuying is just a clan uncle, and she is the one who should have the final say.

After the temple of Zhezong in the fifth year of Tongzhi, Li Yuying forced Concubine Zhao to retreat, and in the princess selection ceremony in March of that year, the daughter of the Zhao family also failed, and Li Yuying secretly operated to push Concubine Min to power. Li Yuying also forcibly moved Concubine Zhao to live in Changdeokgung Palace in Leshanjae, while the royal family went to the new palace - Gyeongbokgung Palace. Moreover, Li Yuying also entered Concubine Zhao's bedroom, and the palace people Xu and Zhang*, and even accepted Xu as a concubine, and the old widow Concubine Zhao almost ran out of anger. Concubine Zhao was originally deceived by Li Yuying, and then disgusted with Li Yuying's arbitrariness, and all kinds of reasons combined to hate Li Yuying to the core. Li Yuying's daughter-in-law is in the nest, of course the old lady wants to come out to sponsor it vigorously, and revive her family by the way.

Li Yuying accidentally offended his daughter-in-law, and then the little daughter-in-law found everyone who wanted to clean him up, with the old lady Zhao Dafei at the helm and the outsider Guo Xing A to make peace, Li Yuying's situation is very bad.
