Chapter 128: To Each His Own Dependence

Concubine De was often depressed by a few words from the emperor's eldest son.

The eldest son of the emperor is very obedient and filial, and Concubine De is the most intolerant of the pedantic energy of the eldest son of the emperor.

Even if the official eunuch's career is unstable, with his analysis of the Four Books and Five Classics, it is not difficult to become a famous Confucian.

However, the eldest son of the emperor is not a courtier, Concubine De wants to push him to the throne, and she hopes that the eldest son of the emperor can only be a puppet emperor, subject to the jurisdiction of the courtiers and at the mercy of King Wu.

At this time, Concubine De naturally relied on King Wu, and when the eldest son of the emperor ascended the throne, Concubine De's first thought was to get rid of King Wu and collect King Wu's military power on behalf of the emperor's eldest son.

However, Concubine De did not say these words to the eldest son of the emperor.

First, it is still early for the eldest son of the emperor to oppose King Wu, and secondly, the eldest son of the emperor is not good at disguise, and it is easy for King Wu to see that he has malicious intentions towards King Wu.

The most important one is to win over King Wu and then get rid of it, the eldest son of the emperor may hold a grudge against Concubine De and be ruthless and unscrupulous.

Concubine De only remembered that Li Zhan was ruthless and cruel to herself in the end, and she didn't know what had happened to their mother and son in the middle of the years.

When Concubine De was punished by the queen for copying the palace rules, she thought about it carefully, and the mother and son had a tragic quarrel, and it could not be said that one party was fully responsible.

She may have done something to violate Li Zhan's bottom line.

But she is Li Zhan's biological mother in the end, even if she is wrong, Li Zhan can't treat her like that.

However, Concubine De also learned a lesson, and did not want to have too serious conflicts with the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest son of the emperor knew that Concubine De was virtuous and kind, so she didn't want to show too much of her ruthless and calculating side.

With the temperament of the emperor's eldest son, even if Concubine De steps on the bottom line of the emperor's eldest son, the emperor's eldest son will not be as ruthless as Li Zhan, and she still has the opportunity to coax the emperor's eldest son to come back and be a filial son.

Although Concubine De was dissatisfied with the teachers and Confucians that Emperor Longcheng invited to the emperor's eldest son, Concubine De also had to admit that it was precisely because of these people that the emperor's eldest son was taught to have a pure temperament.

If Concubine De hadn't suddenly changed her attitude towards the emperor's eldest son, left Li Zhan, and wholeheartedly supported the emperor's eldest son, even if he couldn't become the prince in this life, he would be rich and noble for a lifetime.

"What the mother meant, I understand, is that I can't adapt to it for a while, and it's too far from what the teachers teach."

After the teacher's eldest son was ill by Concubine De, Emperor Long Cheng no longer assigned Confucianism to teach the emperor's eldest son.

Concubine De completely mastered the emperor's eldest son, and today, as usual, she kept teaching the emperor's eldest son some of the emperor's mental techniques that she thought were correct.

The eldest son of the emperor gradually improved.

It's just that Concubine De is not satisfied with the progress of the emperor's eldest son.

Concubine De raised the corners of her mouth, "If you are willing to listen to the words of this palace, and make progress, this palace will be very happy, let's take our time, and when you really understand the truth of the throne, the courtiers will be used by you, and you will be able to support the country handed over by your father." ”

"Son-son must give his mother a long face."

The ambition of the eldest son of the emperor for the position of the crown prince was completely provoked by Concubine De, it is good to be the crown prince, he will always be the favorite son of the concubine, and the courtier brothers dare not say that they are just nerds.

"This palace has asked the small kitchen to prepare some of your favorite meals, and in a while, let's have a few drinks to celebrate."

"The son wants his daughter-in-law to come to the ...... together"

"She's weak, don't toss her."

"Actually, she also wants to be good for her son, she should be able to hold on."

The eldest son of the emperor looked at Concubine De with a little pleading, "My son knows that my mother doesn't like her, but she has accompanied her son all the way, if her son gives up on her, what will my son become?"

What's more, she...... She is not in good health, and her son can't give her much, so she hopes that she can live a better life in the last days. ”

"In addition to celebrating, this palace has some things to explain to you, which is not suitable for her to hear, and you still have to call her?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The eldest son of the emperor shook his head dejectedly, "Then forget it." ”

Concubine De patted the eldest son's arm again, "There are many people who will be thrown down by you in the future, or who can't keep up with you, you can't stop your steps just to wait for these people."

I'm really happy today, your prince of the East Palace is hopeful, and the palace promises you to call her into the palace. ”

"Thank you, thank you, mother." The eldest son of the emperor smiled.

Concubine De's smile became more and more loving, the eldest son of the emperor was more persuasive than Li Zhan, just give some benefits, and change to Li Zhan, even if she said a lot of truths, Li Zhan still refused to listen, and did her own thing.

However, without the help of Concubine De, Li Zhan could only follow Jinyiwei to arrest the Northern Barbarian spies.

Jinyiwei's reputation is not good, can Li Zhan, who is with Jinyiwei, still be recognized by the courtiers?

Li Zhan's behavior in the class room has been vividly reported to Concubine De, "Li Zhan has narrowed the road and cut off the road ahead, don't learn from him." ”

The eldest son of the emperor nodded again and again, "If I inherit the country, how can I also protect the wealth of the younger brother and not make your mother sad." ”

"He is obedient and obedient, and you give him riches, and ifβ€”he is still as willful as he is today, you can keep him far away, or a remote wasteland, or a place, and not in sight."

Concubine De has already taken care of the relationship between mother and son, and the eldest son of the emperor nodded and said: "When the time comes, I will listen to the concubine, I am afraid that you will be soft-hearted and reluctant to give up your little brother." ”

"You deserve to be soft on him? Silly boy, that's what you didn't know about him to Hongu...... Bengong is soft on whom, and he will not be soft on those who live up to Bengong, even if Li Zhan is Bengong's biological son. ”

Li Zhan is not a son of man, does she still want to be a loving mother?

Concubine De is not the only son of Li Zhan!

"You go to the Middle Palace and say hello to the queen."

"Don't go, mother, my son won't go, the queen will punish you for no reason, and my son won't see her."

The eldest son of the emperor has a clear position, even if he violates the obedience of his wife and sister-in-law taught by the great Confucian, when Concubine De was punished, he went to the queen and begged the palace for mercy.

But the queen ignored him, saying that all this was caused by Concubine De, and Concubine De violated the palace rules and should be punished.

The queen did not give the eldest son any face at all.

"Obedient, you still have to go."

Concubine De handed the prepared gift box to the eldest son of the emperor, "Go kowtow, and give the gift box to the queen by the way." ”

"What's in it?"

"A good gift for her, for you, and for this palace." Concubine De smiled: "This palace will let you enter the East Palace blameless, you can rest assured, the queen mother will not dare to offend you again, she is not alone, she will always leave a little leeway for you, and have more incense." ”

The eldest son of the emperor went to see the queen with a gift, Concubine De's eyes flashed slightly, she raised her arm, and Shang Gong helped Concubine De, "Where is Niangniang?" ”

"Go to the small kitchen, the palace personally stews a bowl of supplements for the emperor's eldest son, and by the way, I go to inquire if Your Majesty is still in the imperial study? handed a message to Gonggong Tian, and said that the palace had set up a family banquet with the emperor's eldest son, and invited His Majesty to come and get together. ”

"Yes, sissy."

In the small kitchen, Concubine De is also moving her mouth, the imperial chefs are busy, frying and frying, using stunts, Concubine De prefers Sichuan cuisine, but the eldest son of the emperor can't eat spicy, in the past, the eldest son of the emperor accommodated her, and today Concubine De deliberately asked the chef to make more light.

The fresh vegetables, birds and animals and other precious ingredients that were transported into the palace were brought to the small kitchen by Concubine De in a word.

Obviously, the eldest son of the emperor, the crown prince, is hopeful, and the people in the harem dare not embarrass Concubine De, and it is too late to get on the pole.

A few days ago, Concubine De was punished by the queen, Concubine De's life was a little difficult, the wind direction of the harem changed slightly, and Concubine De once again consolidated her position because of the emperor's eldest son, and even went to the next level.

Concubine De has already aimed at the position of the queen, if the queen is the most interesting, if it is-Concubine De can't say it, she will turn out some of the queen's old adult things.

When the time comes, it will be difficult for the queen to die well.

The eldest son of the emperor asked the queen for peace, put down the gift box and left, without saying a few words to the queen.

The queen smiled and shook her head: "I can't even understand Concubine De, I thought she was the smartest person in the harem and the person who understood His Majesty's mind the most, but she actually asked the eldest son of the emperor to come to the palace to say goodbye?" This is a demonstration.

Concubine De abandoned King Wei and favored the eldest son of the emperor, was she too confident in herself to teach the eldest son of the emperor well, or did she only fancy the title of the eldest son? ”

"Niangniang - the eldest son of the emperor is about to become the crown prince, you really don't want to mention Concubine De more."

Shang Gong beside him was about to cry, and after opening the gift box, he saw the gift given by Concubine De clearly, Shang Gong's face changed dramatically, and he was so angry that he trembled.

"What did Concubine De send to this palace?"

"Nothing."

Shang Gong couldn't stop the queen's curiosity, and finally dodged away, and the queen saw clearly the history book in the box, which was a rare book and was very well carved.

The queen opened the pages of the book marked in the historical records, which said that before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was registered as the crown prince, his biological mother became the queen, and the queen at that time took the initiative to request to revoke the queen's title and abdicate to make way for Xian, so as to prove that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the son-in-law, and the queen also got a good death because of this move and was not directly given death.

The queen was quite patient to read the history book, turned to the page where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up his son and killed his mother in his later years, and gently turned the page, "Send it back to Concubine De." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Wouldn't Niangniang's doing this make Concubine De hate you even more? Concubine De is in the limelight, even if you don't do anything at this time, you should avoid it. ”

"Whether it is abolished or not, the palace doesn't count, and Concubine De doesn't count, it depends on how His Majesty decides!"

The queen's eyes were slightly downcast, and she said softly: "In the past, Your Majesty intended to help Concubine De ascend to the back seat, and during these days, Your Majesty has come to the Middle Palace from time to time to sit and often stay overnight.

Since His Majesty no longer insists, this palace will never give up the back seat easily. The only person who can make this palace take a step back is Your Majesty! ”

The queen is one year older than Emperor Long Cheng, and her appearance is only neutral, she was elected as the crown princess back then, not by virtue of her beauty, but by her mother's family.

And then there is the eldest princess of Anyang who is very optimistic about her.

The queen's elaborate dress is not as young as Concubine De, and she has long lost her grace, but Emperor Long Cheng gave her hope again, she can't easily give up the throne for her love for Emperor Long Cheng and her three daughters.

………………

"Family dinner?"

Emperor Long Cheng's hand holding the brush trembled, and he drew an ink blot on the fold, "Add a few dishes to Concubine De, I will summon you in a while, and the Ministry of Rites and others will go over." ”
