Zhu Zhanji thought thoughtfully, "Do you suspect that the matter that framed you this time is related to the White Lotus Sect?" β
Sun Qingyang nodded, "Not only that, but the concubine also suspects that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are colluding with the vassal king, Lin Meiren may have been coerced or the person they arranged to come in, otherwise, where did she dare to frame the concubine so blatantly?" It's no wonder that the queen mother would believe that they could actually say that they could talk about the people around the concubines, and besides, Yijing said it before she died...... Your Majesty, after the accident with Taozhi, you asked people to check the matter of the White Lotus Sect, but you have no clue, according to the opinion of the concubine, or you can use this matter to find out. β
Hearing Sun Qingyang talk about Concubine Chen Li, Zhu Zhanji was very shocked, and even asked about it first, "You said that Concubine Li's mother is not dead?" There are so many palace people watching their martyrdom, and the people around my father and the emperor have also counted the number according to the list, and there is such a thing, she is too capable, I have to ask Ningyang Hou about it. β
"Your Majestyβ" Sun Qingyang persuaded: "It's also a good thing that Concubine Li can escape with this, why do you have to arrest her back and kill her again?" Please remember that Concubine Li took care of her concubines in the past, and opened up to her. The concubine told you about this, but she was worried that Yi Jing would frame the concubine because she was threatened. In case that's the case, first, I'm afraid that they will attack Concubine Li, and second, I'm afraid that they will use this to coerce Ningyang Hou to be unfavorable to the imperial court, you have to have a number in your heart and prepare early. β
Zhu Zhanji smiled and sighed at the woman's kindness, but still agreed: "Okay, I'll find someone to investigate this matter, if it is to frame you, she is also a victim, I will treat her fake death as if it does not exist, and I will help Ningyang Hou let her new identity cross the clear road, and I am not afraid that I will be forced by others because of this matter in the future." If it is found out that she and Ningyang Hou are inseparable, you can't blame me for being ruthless. But the more than 100 girls who are scattered in the palace and enslaved in the palaces of various princes and ministers, do you have any good ideas? β
Sun Qingyang wanted to speak and stopped, "Your Majesty, the concubines in the palace, you can't interfere in the government, this is the ancestral training." β
"I gave permission. Moreover, I just let you say your own opinion, isn't it still me who makes the decision, how can it be called interfering in government affairs? It's okay, but you say it's okay. β
"Please forgive the concubines for the sin of vain talking about the vassal king."
Seeing Sun Qingyang's serious appearance, Zhu Zhanji laughed, "Okay, I forgive you for your innocence." β
"Your Majesty, the two imperial uncles have coveted the throne, we all know that Concubine Hui gave birth to a stillborn baby before, and He Zhaoyi mistakenly obeyed Shang Lu and became infertile, you have found out that it is related to the King of Han, and he can't be moved because there is no real evidence, but the concubine believes that the emperor will never bear this breath, after you ascend the throne, the favor of the two imperial uncles will become more and more long, I am afraid that it will also make them breed arrogance, and then seek to move, right?"
Zhu Zhanji clapped his hands, "Clever-I and Concubine Ai have never talked about the political situation in the DPRK and China, but you can get a glimpse of it and know the whole leopard, it's really not simple." β
Sun Qingyang smiled disgustingly: "The emperor doesn't praise the concubines, the concubines are just reading some subsets of scriptures and history, and guessing nonsense based on the experience of their predecessors, but the emperor, when he entered the palace that day and listened to a few words, he could believe that the concubines were wronged, and they were really powerful." β
Zhu Zhanji looked at her with a smile, "The main reason is that I believe that you will never do such a thing, based on this, their little tricks are naturally not enough, and the methods of the women in the harem to compete for favor are actually not worth mentioning compared to the power schemes in the court." If the queen mother calms down, with her eyesight, she can see through it completely, she is like this now, it is really because she is too worried about the queen's position and counts the consequences of that incident on your head, so she will be blind. β
Speaking of this, Sun Qingyang said with some concern: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, you still have to find a time to talk to her, so that your mother and son don't fall into a knot because of your concubines." β
Zhu Zhanji shook his head, "Don't worry, it's not too late to wait for you to give birth to Long'er." The queen mother is the most important concubine, the more I persuade her now, the more she will toss you, in case she is ruthless and the child in your belly is gone, it will be more than worth the loss. When you give birth to a dragon, even if the queen mother is reluctant, she can't help it. β
"But, Queenβ"
Zhu Zhanji patted her hand, "Don't worry, you are not such a perverse person, I also believe that if you change places, you will only treat her better than what she treats you now, she is not in good health, and it may be beneficial to recuperate." The matter of the two imperial uncles you just mentioned is exactly what I was thinking in my heart, and now that they have teamed up to frame you, it is time to check which vassal kings are colluding with them, so I can prepare as soon as possible. β
"Your Majestyβ" Sun Qingyang thought for a while and said, "The concubine has an idea, do you have any sense to hear it?" β
Zhu Zhanji took out the emperor's style, "I have said that you are not guilty, why don't you speak up and offer a clever plan?" β
"The concubine read the history of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Taizong once said, 'Take copper as a reference, you can be dressed properly.'" Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Taking people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses. 'Emperor Taizong of Tang was famous, but because of the Xuanwumen incident, his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, and his fourth brother, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, felt guilty, so that he could not sleep on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he had to be guarded by courtiers to sleep peacefully. The concubines were worried that the two imperial uncles would conspire against each other, and the emperor would be furious, and he would do something like Tang Taizong's quick recklessness that day, but he regretted it. β
"Besides, the emperor's closest uncles, only the king of Han and the king of Zhao, if the two of them collude and cause trouble together, the emperor will punish him, I am afraid that the world will misunderstand, thinking that the emperor is a tyrannical and murderous king, so even if it is found that the vassal kings have colluded with him, the emperor still has to think long-term, not too hasty, let alone implicated."
Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was silent in thought, Sun Qingyang smiled and said: "This is just a little foolish opinion of the concubine, for the emperor's consideration." β
Zhu Zhanji sighed: "Qingyang, it's a pity that you are a woman." If you are a man, you will be my humerus. β
Sun Qingyang glanced at him and chuckled: "If the concubine is a man, how can she still share the bed with the emperor and share the mandarin ducks?" β
Zhu Zhanji smiled dumbly, got up and walked behind Sun Qingyang, hugged her from behind and said, "Yes, there is no shortage of useful people around me, but there is only one woman like you." Besides, if you are a woman, I can also talk to you about political affairs, and I can have the best of both worlds. β
Sun Qingyang took Zhu Zhanji's hand on her shoulder and asked, "What if the concubine is still a daughter?" Will the emperor dislike his concubines? β
"Of course not, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, what kind of sour and spicy girl, if you see a flower tree and dream of Xiaoyu and want to give birth to a daughter, even if you have another daughter, as beautiful as you, I am still rare. Our heirs are thin, even our daughters, and they are also very expensive, what happened to our daughters? My daughter is also my noble princess in the Ming Dynasty, don't think nonsense. β
As he spoke, he squeezed Sun Qingyang's hand tightly, "What's more, our daughter must be the smartest and most beautiful, there are many daughters, we just picked some good horses, and picked all the good sons they raised to us, aren't they more proud than the ones who raised their sons?" β
Sun Qingyang burst out laughing, "The emperor coaxes his concubines to be happy!" She restrained her smile and sighed, "If you and I are an ordinary husband and wife, of course, no matter how many daughters we have, we are not afraid, and it is a big deal to recruit one to come to support the elderly." But you are the king of a country, how can you not have an heir to inherit the throne? There are no men and women in our palace, they are all so thin, not to mention the suspense of the queen mother, even the concubine, and they are also frightened, you don't know, I heard that Lin Meiren's baby fell that day, and the concubine didn't sleep well for several days, for fear that there would be a bump, and there would be something unexpected in the concubine's belly......"
Zhu Zhanji's expression darkened, but he was afraid that Sun Qingyang would worry, so he didn't reveal half a cent in his tone, "It doesn't matter, if other concubines are born, they can also be raised in your name, if they can't give birth to all of them, it's really not good, in a few years, when I'm old, I will pick a good one among the clan relatives and raise it under your knees, it's the same, anyway, they are all the descendants of my Zhu family, and they all flow with the blood of the ancestors." β
"Your Majestyβ" When Sun Qingyang heard Zhu Zhanji's words, tears welled up all of a sudden.
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly wiped her tears and comforted her: "The most taboo thing to think about during pregnancy, you just take care of your body, don't think about these things, don't you often say, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the willow bank is bright and another village, why bother to let tomorrow's sorrow overwhelm you?" You used to laugh the most, why did you cry when you were pregnant with this child, could it be that you are a crybaby in your belly? If you're not happy, I'll ask the concubines to come over to accompany you more, no more, let's go out of the palace to see your mother, you haven't seen her for a long time, don't you miss her very much? β
"The concubine is still grounded, even if you come here today, the queen mother knows about it, and you have to be admonished, where do you dare to see your mother?"
Zhu Zhanji disagreed, "This world, now it is my world, even if the queen mother, when it comes to the national ceremony, it can't be my home, at most, let's be careful and quietly arrange for you to leave the palace." β
Sun Qingyang's heart moved, and after a while, he still shook his head, "Now that the palace is not peaceful, the concubine is still more peaceful, and when she gives birth to the child in her belly, it is not too late to meet her mother again, and now that she has seen it, let her know the situation of the concubine in the palace, but it is in vain for her to worry about it, so forget it." The concubines thank the emperor for his favor, and in the past few months, even the emperor has to come to Changning Palace less, so as not to give people a handle. β
Zhu Zhanji played with her hair, "Qingyang, sometimes, you sensibly make me sad, when will you dare to engage in it arbitrarily, and do whatever you want according to your own temperament?" β
Sun Qingyang leaned on him, "Your Majesty, I can treat you like this, the concubines are already very content, cherishing blessings and gratitude can last a long time, what the concubines ask for is to be with the emperor for a long time, but I don't want to be happy for a while and lose my luck." β
