Chapter 25: The Queen Mother (4)
When Lin Yuan went to the Mirror Moon Pavilion, Emperor Tuoba Hong rushed to Changle Palace with a complicated and grand imperial guard of honor.
He knew that the Queen Mother didn't like to be noisy, so he deliberately waited for the concubines to withdraw from Changle Palace before setting off. Otherwise, if you run into them and run into them, you might have another storm.
Tuoba Hong entered the Changle Palace, and saw that lunch was already being set up inside, so he sat down to eat with the Queen Mother.
Although they were all vegetarian, the mother and son also ate happily with a rare smile on their faces. Tuoba Hong personally grabbed a chopstick slippery mushroom and sent it into the queen mother's bowl, and said with a smile: "Today, I heard that the queen mother chose three concubines to serve?" ”
The Queen Mother smiled faintly when she heard this: "You are busy with government affairs, and your mourning family lives alone, but you just want to find someone to talk to." ”
Tuoba Hong was ashamed when he heard this, thought about it and said with a smile: "How did the queen mother choose from the new concubine?" They are young and irritable, where there is the calmness of the Wang family, and they are not afraid of arguing with the queen mother. ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "If you really want to serve, Shurong will be very good alone." ”
Hearing this, Tuoba Hong's heart moved, and asked, "What does the queen mother mean...... The emperor's heir, do you belong to the nobleman? ”
"Willing?" The Queen Mother sneered: "Jiagui thinks a lot, but he doesn't have any great wisdom, so he is useless." With her mind, she has no ability to raise her. ”
After a pause, the Queen Mother laughed again and said, "I don't want her to do well." As long as you can give birth to an heir, if you can't find someone in the palace to raise it, it's the same if you send it to the mourning family. The Queen Mother said and raised her eyes and swept Tuoba Hong: "Doesn't the emperor mean the same thing?" The mourning family is just pushing the boat. ”
Jia Guiren is not from a high background, and he is not very beautiful, but he can be named a nobleman and given a title. After a little thought in the queen mother's heart, she could understand what the emperor was thinking.
Tuoba Hong laughed twice and said, "It's still the queen mother who can see through her sons." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head in her heart when she listened. This son, she couldn't see through it since eight years ago.
The first emperor is a lover, but he and the first emperor are not like each other at all - this child's heart is too cold.
"Whether it is Jia Guiren, Wang Chengyi, or Ye Chengyi, they are all the most suitable in the family background." The Queen Mother said slowly: "Your heir is too thin, and the eldest prince is bleeding the blood of the Shen family." This time, under the guise of serving the mourning family, the three of them were summoned, if there was really a good ......"
There are more than 50 concubines in the harem, but the heirs are only one single seedling and three emperors, where can the queen mother not see the filth here? In the past, the Queen Mother was too lazy to take care of the affairs of the harem, but now it seems that it is not possible to interfere.
said that it was passed over to serve, but it was just waiting for which of these people to be blessed and pregnant, and Changle Palace would be able to protect her well-of course, if she could not protect her for a while, if she was incapacitated, the child would not be able to raise it after birth, so she would give the child to the capable person to raise, and the biological mother would be left to fend for herself.
The Queen Mother chose three nobles, and it has nothing to do with their outfits today. These three names were only ticked off from the roster by the Queen Mother a few days ago - their fathers' official positions are below the fifth grade, and they are young themselves, which is conducive to childbirth.
It has always been a taboo for the emperor to interfere in politics. Because of this, Tuoba Hong was not polite even to the Queen Mother's mother, the Sun family, and never allowed the daughter of the Sun family to enter the palace. Fortunately, Queen Xiao couldn't give birth, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Tuoba Hong thought in his heart and sighed slightly. If it weren't for the fact that his father was confused, he only recognized King Mu Wu as his own son from beginning to end, and gave him the richest fief and strong soldiers and horses, why would he have supported his relatives against King Mu Wu in the first place? Now why let the relatives do the big clamping on the imperial power?
The concubines in this harem are all daughters of important ministers, and they are inextricably linked with the previous dynasty. The Queen's Xiao family, Concubine Rou's Shen family, and Concubine Xiang's Shangguan family...... These big clans hold heavy power in the court and control the government, and they just create a three-legged situation for these three parties to attack each other, so that they can stabilize the imperial power. If the position of prince is really given to any of them, I am afraid that the emperor himself will not be able to sit steadily.
If you want to be a prince, you must first find a suitable biological mother. This person must not only have a good background, but also have the ability to protect himself and his children, which is indeed difficult to find. But if she takes 10,000 steps back, even if she doesn't do well enough, it's okay to go to the mother and keep the child. The adoptive mother and the prince are separated by a layer of belly, and they will not be close relatives.
A suitable woman......
Thinking of this, Tuoba Hongdi suddenly remembered something. He raised his head to meet the eyes of the Queen Mother and said, "If you say that your family background is appropriate...... And that almost missed a person. She was only recently favored, and she had been unknown before, and the queen mother probably didn't know about her ......"
