Chapter 456: The Queen's Concubine Provincial
The Queen Mother smiled faintly, "My son's heart, my mother understands, and my son must listen to what is in my mother's belly." ”
The emperor no longer refused, calmed down, held the queen mother's hand and said, "Mother, you say, son listen." ”
"My mother wants to say too much, and everything is a stone pressed in my mother's heart."
"Mother, my son has grown up and become an emperor, my son will be my mother's support in the future, and my son doesn't want my mother to work so hard anymore."
The Queen Mother smiled heartily and continued: "The first thing my mother wants to say is also the first thing to bear the brunt. The emperor wants to cut through the chaos quickly and quickly eliminate Prince Yi's power. ”
The emperor asked puzzledly: "Prince Yi has already resigned from the hereditary throne, and a while ago he went to the table to remove the prince's throne. What's more, he is old, and it seems that he will not be alive soon, and I can't bear to kill them all. ”
The Queen Mother locked her eyebrows and said steadily: "Son, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and a person who has been cunning all his life suddenly changes his face and shows his weakness, which is too unusual." Prince Yi's most important thing in this life is the hereditary hat on his head, and he suddenly took the initiative to hand it over to the imperial court, so the emperor was not surprised? ”
The emperor obviously didn't realize this, as the king of a country, he didn't realize the abnormal behavior of his subordinates, and the emperor felt that he had not mastered the essence of the emperor's mental art.
"Mother, the child was careless, I just thought that Prince Yi was old, and I begged for tears several times, and my heart softened, so I didn't think much about it."
"Emperor, this is not your fault, you are still young, Prince Yi has been up and down in the sea for a lifetime, he may not dare to really oppose our mother and son, but my mother is afraid that once my mother dies, my mother is afraid that you will not be able to control him."
In the emperor's loose expression, there are some looming six gods without masters.
"Mother, what should I do then?"
The Queen Mother stared at the emperor and said resolutely: "He didn't ask for the title of prince on the table, then he fulfilled his wish." ”
The emperor said anxiously: "If he is a Sima Zhao, I agree, won't I drive him to a dead end?" ”
The Queen Mother said calmly: "Emperor, this is not what it used to be, ten years ago, even if Prince Yi resigned, his mother would not agree, but now it is different, Prince Yi is a useless person who relies on the old and sells the old to our mother and son." ”
The emperor understood at one point, cleaned up the panic in his expression, and said, "My son understands." ”
"The reason why Prince Yi has been able to stand for decades is because we defeated Concubine Dong'an, so we have to rely on him to be the constraint of Concubine Dong'an, and now that Concubine Dong'an is dead, Prince Yi's role will come to an end. If he really bowed his head to the court and gave in, the mourning family would definitely not be wiped out. ”
"Mother, do you know that Prince Yi is not really asking for the hereditary throne of the prince?"
The Queen Mother replied firmly: "Prince Yi did this, ostensibly to show weakness to the court, but in fact, he was arguing with the court. ”
"Calling the board?"
"Yes, he is weighing whether the emperor dares to take his princely throne, and he is also testing whether the mourning family dares to kick him out of the center."
"Since my mother understands, why is she still against him, it's just a throne, just give it!"
"Absolutely not, our mother and daughter are the queen mother of heaven, but they have been constrained by people all their lives. My mother is walking on thin ice all her life, and she can't let my son live my mother's life again. If my mother didn't guess wrong, as long as my mother closed her eyes, Prince Yi still planned to be the uncrowned king of our Great Zhou. ”
The emperor's expression was shocked, and his tone was a little undulating: "Mother, in this Northern Expedition, several generals are former subordinates of Prince Yi. ”
The Queen Mother sighed and said calmly: "This is where Prince Yi deserves to die, he just picked such a day to bear the guilt, this is not a petition, it is a call." This one shows his wolf ambition. ”
"Mother means...... Kill him? ”
The Queen Mother shook her head, did not answer the emperor's question directly, but changed her perspective and said: "If Prince Yi really wants to show weakness to the imperial court, he should return to his hometown and stay away from the central place of the imperial court. He was not originally from Gyeonggi, and his hometown in Jiangnan also had a high-gate mansion, and if he didn't leave the capital, it must not be as simple as the eyes see. ”
The emperor still held on to the question and asked: "It takes a little effort to kill a prince." It takes a little thought, too. If you do it too quickly, it will inevitably cause shock in the government and the opposition. ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said happily: "Sweet boiled frogs, take your time little by little." We don't need to do anything. ”
The Queen Mother obviously had a plan, and the emperor asked lightly: "Mother, what do you tell your son to do?" ”
The Queen Mother sat for a long time and had a sore back, turned sideways slightly, and said: "My mother has been confused for a long time because of this, but it is still the people around you who have solved the knot in my mother's heart." ”
"Someone next to my son? Who? ”
"Wu Guifei, Wu Bilian."
The emperor was obviously unexpected, the maid of Bilian Palace was born, she was soft-spoken in the palace, and she didn't often serve in front of the queen mother, how could it be her? The emperor couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother suspiciously, and asked, "How could it be her?" ”
The Queen Mother patted the emperor and said, "This matter, my mother will talk to you in detail later, let's talk about it one thing at a time." ”
"What good idea can she come up with?" The emperor's impression of Wu Bilian is still stuck in her skills in seducing the emperor.
Although the emperor got cheap, he obviously didn't have a very good impression of such a woman in his heart.
"Agree with Prince Yi's recital, and when the court discusses, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Concubine Zhen will be crowned as a virtuous concubine."
The emperor understood at one point, sneered, and said, "My son understands, this is the sugar water for Prince Yi?" ”
The Queen Mother nodded loudly, and then said: "Not only that, but the court will send a notice to the world that during the Dragon Boat Festival in the coming year, the concubine will be provincial." ”
"If you want to take it, you must first take it."
"There is no precedent for harem concubines, so this is also a great joy for Prince Yi."
"Wonderful. It's wonderful. This trick can be regarded as seamless, and the bottom of the kettle is withdrawn. ”
Mother and son have the same heart, needless to say, they both understand each other's meaning.
The mourners also thought it was an excellent idea. The princely throne was originally his, and no matter how considerate the emperor was to him, he would not appreciate it if he kept his princely throne. Because he thinks that the throne is his. ”
"The son understands that the son has offended him in his heart by listening to his mother's words before and masturbating his hereditary recklessness."
"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, the throne was originally given to him by the imperial court, no matter how the emperor keeps it, he thinks in his heart that it is his own thing, so he will not be grateful. It's better to follow his hypocrisy and reward him with dignity. ”
"Slap with honey, Prince Yi can't say even if he is bitter."
"It's a bayonet with honey! For so many years, he has relied on his own usefulness, and has coerced our mother and son with both soft and hard, who knows our suffering? ”
"The concubine is provincial, and she can't live in her mother's house, so Prince Yi is bound to build another provincial villa. Will it be possible to achieve it within half a year? ”
The Queen Mother replied leisurely: "If Prince Yi wants this dignity, he will inevitably build a lot of construction. ”
"Prince Yi's palace is surrounded by the mansions of the emperor's relatives, and he overhauls the provincial villa, I'm afraid it will be ......"
"That's his business, we just let her daughter save her relatives, and didn't let them encroach on other people's land......"
The emperor clapped his hands and applauded: "Wonderful is really wonderful, this is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”
"The construction of the provincial villa, on the one hand, consumes the financial resources of Prince Yi's family from the inside, and on the other hand, he is very profane, and it will also attract jealousy."
The emperor smacked the Queen Mother's words, and said faintly: "Concubine Wu usually lowers her eyebrows and is pleasing to her eyes, but I didn't expect to have such a mind, but I underestimated her." ”
The Queen Mother was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "This is the second thing my mother wants to tell you, is it time for Wu Guifei's position to be promoted, she is the biological mother of the fourth son of the emperor after all." ”
"Mother, she was originally a palace maid, and it is already very good to be a noble concubine."
"The women of the harem are worthy of dignity if they can help the emperor, and if they can't help, no matter how prominent their background is, they are just decorations."
The Queen Mother suddenly said such a sentence, and the emperor suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Mother, you don't know, Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhen have never been on good terms, since Concubine Zhen has been given dignity, Concubine Zhen has always been coquettish and stupid, if her son is promoted to Concubine Wu again, I am afraid that Concubine Zhen will be noisy to death."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "What is there that my mother doesn't know!" Let's give Concubine Zhen decency, but we can't forget the checks and balances, one party is dominant, and we are the ones who suffer. Concubine Zhen is coquettish to the emperor, which means that she has a request from the emperor, if everything goes well, then she is not alone in this harem? Where are our mother and son going? ”
The emperor looked at the Queen Mother ashamedly, nodded and said, "It's still my mother who thinks thoughtfully, but my son didn't expect this." ”
"Wu Guifei is the biological mother of the emperor's fourth son, if it is according to the thoughts of the mourning family, it is not an exaggeration. It's just that the emperor's concerns are also reasonable, and a palace maid suddenly becomes high, which may not be a good thing for her. Go through the experience first, in case the mourning family looks away for a while, the emperor himself will also check it. ”
The emperor looked at the Queen Mother with great interest and said, "Mother, when did you become so interested in her, haven't you always loved Wanying." ”
The emperor didn't say anything, when it came to Wanying, the queen mother looked gloomy, and said sullenly: "The imperial concubine still disappointed my mother after all, and my mother has a third thing to tell you." ”
The queen mother commented on Wanying, which was unexpected by the emperor, if it was in the past, the emperor would inevitably argue with the queen mother, but now that the queen mother is weak in bed, the emperor can't bear to break her old man's heart.
"Mother, you say, son, listen."
"The third thing my mother wants to say is: The emperor can't reuse the Shi family in the future."
The emperor instinctively leaned back, and then asked with an embarrassed face: "Mother, you have always loved Wanying, and you think about her in everything." ”
"The mourning family once wanted to train her well, but she was too hard, and we blamed us for letting her suffer too many grievances in the first place."
"Mother, my son also feels sorry for her, so he wants to make up for her."
The Queen Mother shook her head stubbornly and said firmly: "My son, if my mother is not mistaken, as long as my mother is gone, the division family will not last for a few years, and it will definitely be a monopoly." ”
