Although I have heard a little about the government of Liangguo and the changes in the back court, I know very little.

What happened 30 years ago, I only know the consequences, but I don't know the cause.

But with my understanding of the court, no matter which country's courtiers are, for the daughter of a criminal minister, she will never be allowed to ascend to the throne.

So, how did Empress Dowager Xiao rise to the queen against public opinion back then, and how did she enter the Crazy Garden to serve the empress dowager now?

Obviously, Fu Jinyue knows a lot more than I know.

She saw my doubts, and while walking back and forth, she answered for me: "Back then, the Xiao family rebelled, and the former prime minister died, originally, the Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to abolish the grade and become a concubine, but the first emperor loved the Empress Dowager Xiao very much, and despite the public opinion, when he ascended the throne, he canonized the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was still the crown princess, as the queen. ”

Fu Jinyue shouldn't be very clear about what happened back then, after all, she was not born at that time, so I also saw doubts on her face.

"I don't know what happened back then, I only know that Empress Dowager Xiao took the initiative to enter the Crazy Garden after only two years, I heard my father mention that as soon as Empress Dowager Xiao left, Concubine Wu took control of the harem, so I think that Empress Dowager Xiao will come to the cold palace, it should be related to Concubine Wu."

"Then why did Concubine Wu enter the cold palace and be reluctant to go out?" I was even more puzzled.

It stands to reason that as soon as the Empress Dowager Xiao left, Concubine Wu took over the Fengyin monopoly of the harem, if it is said that the reason why Concubine Wu did not ascend to the throne was because the emperor favored the Empress Dowager Xiao too much and retained the queen.

So, without the threat of Empress Dowager Xiao, how could Concubine Wu be beaten into the cold palace?

I have heard that Concubine Wu was sent to the cold palace because Xuanyuan Yi's relationship angered Long Yan, but this seems unreasonable.

Just imagine, when Concubine Wu was in the harem, in addition to not ascending to the throne, her power had reached the status of the queen, and she couldn't anger Long Yan for a Xuanyuan Yi who was not born to her.

Taking a step back, Concubine Wu really offended Long Wei for Xuanyuan Yi to care about raising family affection, and then she was unable to return to the harem.

So, when Xuanyuan Yi ascended the throne, why was she willing to stay in the cold palace?

Fu Jinyue shook her head at me, showing that she didn't know what happened back then, and then said: "Concubine Wu has been in charge of the harem for more than ten years, and the Wu family almost has to lean into power, but Concubine Wu loves the first emperor deeply, panics that the Wu family will step into the footsteps of the Xiao family, and she is willing to cut off the relationship with the Wu family, and in order to live in the harem steadily, she wholeheartedly assists Xuanyuan Yi as the crown prince, but the first emperor favored King Li and King Qian, suppressed the power of the Wu family, and once again promoted the courtiers with foreign surnames who were once attached to the Xiao family, resulting in a situation of three kings in Liangguo. ”

"Therefore, when the first emperor chose the crown prince, he also had to choose one from King Qian, King Yi and King Li." I sat at the table with my chin on my armrest, and began to analyze from Fu Jinyue's words: "King Qian's temperament is violent, he is too ruthless, although he is the most powerful, most of the courtiers who depend on him are afraid of him, so there is no hope for him to sit on the crown prince." ”

I raised my eyes to look at Fu Jinyue, saw her nodded, and continued: "King Li is deeply popular with the people but too kind, if he can be the Holy Lord of Taiping, not for a good monarch, but born in troubled times, he knows that his character is too humble and can't do much, so he voluntarily gave up the throne, then, the character is uncertain, the perennial battle on the battlefield, with the military heart and the desire to conquer, it has become the only possibility for the first emperor to choose the crown prince." ”

Fu Jinyue nodded again, and added: "But the first emperor was worried that King Yi's character would slaughter his brother after he ascended the throne, so he kept suppressing King Yi and sending him to fight everywhere to prevent him from staying in the capital, until one day, he suddenly disobeyed the holy decree and led an army of 100,000 to return to the capital, unwilling to go on another expedition, causing Long Yan to be furious and was grounded in the palace for a whole year. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and when I heard that Xuanyuan Yi led an army of 100,000 back to Yandu City, I remembered again that he had come to my Fengcheng City four years ago.

Is that the time?

He disobeyed the holy decree and was unwilling to attack the territory of my Jiang country, but it was not for the sake of ......

I shook my head, not wanting to think about it, and then Fu Jinyue's words continued: "Sister means that Concubine Wu persuaded Long Wei, who was angered by the emperor, for this matter?" ”

"Well, it almost made the emperor so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick!"

My head was a little messy, I didn't know how to think about these things, and realized that what we were talking about now was off topic, and I couldn't help but divert the topic: "If Empress Dowager Xiao entered the Madman Garden because of Concubine Wu, then the reason why King Li came to me was to win me over and let me help him deal with Concubine Wu?" ”

I had intimidated Concubine Wu before, and it was not difficult for King Li to know about this.

Could it be that Empress Dowager Xiao and Concubine Wu have a grudge, and King Li wants to borrow my hand to deal with Concubine Wu?

Fu Jinyue shook her head, and said back to the truth: "A while ago, King Li came to me and asked me to try to help him rescue the Empress Dowager Xiao and the Empress Dowager. ”

"Sister said that King Li came to me just to ask me to help him rescue Empress Dowager Xiao and the Empress Dowager?"

Thinking that I am a criminal concubine and a person from Jiang Guo, I can't speak in front of the emperor, and it is difficult to protect myself in the good palace, and I want to use me to deal with Concubine Wu, which is more or less understandable.

But just want to use me to help him rescue the Empress Dowager Xiao and the Empress Dowager?

I don't know King Li, how does he think I'll help him? And what can help him?

"Jiang Guo's demon Ji has outstanding intelligence, she is in power at a young age, and she assisted Situ Zhen to seize the throne, in the eyes of others, your reputation is too bad, and you can't be climbed by thousands of people, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that even if you have nothing, you are enough to become a good chess piece with your wit alone." Fu Jinyue is the truth.

"Heh, King Li is a filial son, I actually forgot that Jiang Guo's demon Ji is a hard-hearted and ruthless person, is it useful for him to come to me so abruptly?"

I stood up and stood side by side with Fu Jinyue, feeling a lot of emotion in my heart, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

misses me Jiang Guo Demon Queen, but now she is recruiting people everywhere.

It saves me from having to make friends everywhere, but do they really think they can control me?

"It works!" Fu Jinyue looked at me fixedly.

"What do you mean, sister?" I was puzzled.

Because I saw that Fu Jinyue's eyes had the meaning of persuasion, this was hoping that I would help King Li.

But there was still a touch of unbearability in her eyes, which was clearly telling me not to use King Li.

I don't understand, King Li gave up the throne back then, and Fu Jinyue's father and uncle died in Huangquan, if I can understand the reason why she doesn't hate Xuanyuan Yi is because she loves him, then this Xuanyuan Yuze, why did she help him?

Fu Jinyue showed an embarrassed smile on her face, she silently lowered her head, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Maybe my sister and I really seem to have a debt to Situ Jingyuan, but I owe Xuanyuan Yuze a lifetime."

Fu Jinyue met my eyes again, and I saw the guilt in it.

I don't know why she's so conflicted, but I'm sure she has a complex relationship with Xuanyuan Yuze that I can't imagine.

I walked to the windowsill in silence, looked at the blue sky, and did not speak.

I don't want to ask Fu Jinyue what the relationship is with Xuanyuan Yuze, if she is willing to say, she would have told me a long time ago, but she took me and Situ Jingyuan as an example, obviously she didn't want to pull King Li into our scheme.

The most reliable relationship between people and people is to use each other, so that I can help the king without selfishness......

Maybe it will happen later, but not now.

"Sister, I can't care about other people's affairs now, if you really owe Xuanyuan Yuze something, it's best not to help him at this time."

What I mean by this is that at this time, we need to win over the power line, we can help Xuanyuan Yuze come up with ideas, but now, if we help him, we will definitely use him later.

"If my sister said that King Li was willing to be used by us in exchange for the freedom of Empress Dowager Xiao and the Empress Dowager, wouldn't you help?"

Fu Jinyue walked over and put her hand on my shoulder, but I smiled and shook my head, looked up at the sky again, closed my eyes and rarely let go of my thoughts.

"My sister hasn't told me for a long time that King Li has come to you, isn't she worried that she will not be able to help but use him? Besides, I don't know him at all. ”

My smile was frank and open-minded, although I rejected her, I knew that Fu Jinyue was still happy.

I could feel from the way she slowly hugged me, and she was very grateful to me!

A few days later, I came to Fu Jinyue's Jinhe Courtyard, and she asked the little mandarin duck to come and tell me that she had inquired about Concubine Wu's weakness and invited me to discuss how to gain Concubine Wu's trust.

I discussed with Fu Jinyue in her room for a long time, and was discussing important details, when I heard the little mandarin duck shouting loudly outside the door: "Concubine Wan, Queen Jinyue is meeting guests inside, you want to see the queen, please allow the slave maid to go in and report." ”

"Hmph, is the queen who stays in the cold palace still the queen? Bengong used to let her, why let her now? I don't care about you! ”

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a woman wearing a goose-yellow noble palace robe with upright features but arrogant and domineering walked in.

Beside her, followed by four palace maids, with a proud face, what kind of slave and maid is raised by what kind of master.

Concubine Wan's eyes were full of anger when she glared at Fu Jinyue, and then when she saw me, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she snorted lightly: "Heh, this palace still thinks that Empress Jinyue is discussing national affairs with whom, and she is actually in the company of Jiang Guo's demon concubine." ”

She walked up to me disdainfully, walked around me again, and looked me up and down carefully.

Immediately afterward, she squinted at me again, and suddenly said, "Bold Baiqing, don't you salute when you see this palace?" ”

Salute?

I live with her in the second concubine position, regardless of the grade, and the salute is her dismount, but she has been in the palace for many years, and it is still necessary for me to call her a sister in terms of etiquette.
