The new emperor ascended the throne, Huang Tao seemed to raise his eyebrows, not only did he get up and become the second position of the Jingwei Command Division, but even Uncle Liao also got an official position, and he was sent to Shanxi to serve as a political envoy from the eighth grade, don't look at the official quality is not high, but the promotion space is very large, which finally made Uncle Liao from the failure of business to see the situation of poverty and destitute to ease up, although the days can not be said how rich and beautiful the food and clothing, finally the identity of food and clothing is more than a step.

Liao died at the time of the first emperor's death, almost not forgotten by the queen in the palace, and later the queen mother intervened, only to take a group of "already facted" concubines into the palace, although the Son of Heaven is not favored by Liao, but in Huang Tao's face, she was given a Jieyu grade, this also thought that the queen was having a bad time, and he stepped forward at every turn, and had a hard fight with the queen, which made the son of heaven more and more cold, and it was really a lose-lose.

She also said that her "aunt" Huang, since the last time because of the queen's enthusiasm to see the dawn of the heavy palm feed, but instead ended up with a reprimand, discouraged and more resentful of the husband's family, grounded for a while, the new year to be free, hurriedly entered the palace to the queen to please, learned that Liao Jieyu was restless, and took the initiative to ask Ying to teach Liao's duty, and it was easy to persuade Liao to know the current affairs, do not go against the queen.

Huang's flattery of the queen was originally out of Huang Tao's will, but since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the situation changed, and Huang Tao saw that the queen was in danger and her position was not stable, so he was busy communicating with Huang.

The eldest princess lifted the Huang family's grounding, and did not control her contact with the outside world, the Huang family sometimes had the opportunity to go out, and then Huang Tao took office and vigorously enveloped some court officials, these female dependents handed over the post to the Guogong Mansion to visit the lady, the Guogong Mansion is not easy to turn people away, although the communication between the Huang family and Huang Tao has to detour some corners, but it is not always difficult.

Huang Tao saw through the queen's ability to have no mother, and there was no son of heaven's favor, the only thing worth saying was that there was a powerful mother's family, but seeing that the Qin family and the Chen family were already fighting openly and secretly, and the attitude of the Son of Heaven was closer to the Chen family, Huang Tao concluded that the queen would have a tragedy sooner or later, and even if the Qin family would not be uprooted, Queen Qin would be nothing more than one of the two endings of being deposed and dying early.

Huang Tao's advice is that although the friendship with the queen needs to be maintained, the focus must still be on the queen mother.

So the Huang family took the initiative to make friends with the daughters of the Chen family, and persuaded Liao Jieyu to go to Shoukang Palace to serve wholeheartedly as a sign of filial piety, so he gradually won the queen mother's frequent edicts.

Although the eldest princess saw it in her eyes, it was inconvenient to obstruct it, the queen mother liked the Huang family, and the Weiguo Mansion could not express any objections.

said that the queen mother, she disgusted the queen is definitely out of sincerity, not to mention that the Qin family and the Chen family were still competing with the Chen family, but the queen mother compared with the Kong family and Concubine De after the abolition, she did not interfere very much in the affairs of the court and state, and she couldn't control her son, she was indeed a loving mother, and she only did her best for her son, the Son of Heaven did not mean to abolish the queen, and the queen mother hated the Qin family, and would not take the lead in proposing the abolition of the queen, naturally, for the mother-in-law of the queen mother, the queen mother would not easily disobey, at first the queen mother handed over the affairs of the six palaces to the queen mother, and the queen mother was very happy, and there is no dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother.

But this was before she learned that Ci'an Palace had the power to supervise the government.

Since she heard the shocking news from the daughters of the Chen family, of course, she was also full of jealousy of Ci'an Palace, and those filial piety and virtuousness had become a thin layer of crumbling masks on her face.

The next "rebellion" of Senator Chen undoubtedly made the Queen Mother even more angry.

But she also knows the ability of this brother, and remembers the day when she was almost killed by her brother and lived in her ancestral home for a long time, and she was quite afraid of Senator Chen, and it was impossible to summon someone to Shoukang Palace to accuse her, so she chose a soft pestle to start, that is, Mrs. Chen, her eldest sister-in-law.

Chen Yuanchu was dissatisfied with the discipline of his eldest son, and his behavior of "spoiling his concubine and killing his wife" was really reasonable, and he did not dare to pressure the eldest son too much, so he only calculated on the marriage of the eldest son.

Who would have expected that although Mrs. Chen's maiden family is not obvious, she is a smart and strong character, although she and Senator Chen are not affectionate and reborn and live together, but also raise the case with eyebrows and harmony, naturally know the mustard between the husband and the queen mother, and do not accept the queen mother's reprimand, and reply confidently: "The empress dowager is supervised by the last emperor's will, and her name is justified, and her grandson obeys the orders of Ci'an Palace and is also loyal to the ministers, how can she be accused of disobedience and unfilial piety?" The Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong persuaded that if the Empress Dowager made the emperor's last order public, it was enough to directly intervene in the government, that is, the Holy One could not object to one or two, and the Empress Dowager did not take this measure at present, but she still had a loving heart for the Holy One, and the expectation was that the Holy One was far away from the traitorous and close to the loyal, and Qin Xiang's ambition was clearly revealed, and he intended to instigate the Holy to do disloyal and unfilial things, and his intentions were really sinister. ”

"The husband is also to investigate the Qin Xiang's intentions, so he chose the path of loyalty and good ministers, Niangniang, if the Chen family is disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, it is a disobedience to the first emperor, and the Qin family is forced to force each other later, I am afraid that I will suffer a catastrophe in the future."

This face-to-face rebuttal was too red-eared, but he was unable to refute.

watched Mrs. Chen retire and leave with her head held high.

Mrs. Chen San, who was hiding behind the screen, sneered.

In fact, Chen Erye is the brother of the Queen Mother's mother, but although the Queen Mother was "promoted" by the family to become the eldest daughter, her biological mother was not corrected, so Chen Erye is still a concubine, and the second master did his best to celebrate the king, but because of the case of Hu Shizhong when the first emperor, Chen Erye rushed to Kyoto to beat the drum and sound the grievances of Han Xiucai into prison, the matter came out, the first emperor beheaded Chen Erye, at this time the bones were cold, if it were not for the later monarch suddenly stacked picks, the Chen family was afraid that the first emperor had been cleaned up, not to mention the destruction of the door, At the very least, the family will stay away from the court.

The third master and the fourth master were born in the stepfamily, so they naturally stood in the camp of the queen mother at this time, and they were not close to Senator Chen.

Although the third master's official position is not high, the third wife's maiden family is more prominent than Mrs. Chen, and she has long been dissatisfied with the eldest sister-in-law's mastery of the middle feed, but it is related to the rise and fall of the family, and the third wife did not say anything about the grievances of those women in the back house, although her face was sneering, she also agreed with some of Mrs. Chen's words just now: "Niangniang is angry, the eldest sister-in-law said that the Qin family has a sinister heart, but it is true, but the saint is the respect of the ninety-five, how can he not be restrained by a female stream of the empress dowager, and now he has to let the Qin family first, and must target the Yan family and the Weiguo Mansion." ”

The Queen Mother thought so.

The third wife made another move, of course, these words were not from her idea, but Chen Xiang and the third and fourth sons planned: "The Empress Dowager intends to divide our Chen family, so this is the eldest brother, the Yan family will not talk about it for the time being, the Su family of the Weiguo Mansion is not Zhongzhi Chengcheng, we can return it." ”

Since Huang Tao realized that the Huang family befriended the daughters of the Chen family, of course he himself would not let go of the friendship with the men of the Chen family, and he had already intended to meet, if the Duke of Wei Guo and the son Su Xun had a good relationship, the title of the Su family would inevitably fall to his nephew Su Xiong, he could guarantee that in the future, the power of the Duke of Wei Guo would be enough for the Son of Heaven to use, of course, he would also share the blessings and woes with the Chen family, and work together to deal with the Qin family, and the power of the Chen Xiang family was just around the corner.

So on this basis, Chen Xiang's father and son came up with another conspiracy.

"The last time the queen made a fuss, Niangniang also saw that the eldest princess was very dissatisfied with the Huang family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not in harmony, and the queen mother obviously helped the eldest princess, how could the Duchess of the country not go to Ci'an Palace, according to Weng's father and the third master, the fourth uncle, Huang Tao's words are not adulterated, although the saint is afraid of the military power of the Weiguo Mansion, but it is not so easy to completely eradicate it, and now we still have to focus on the unification of the monarchy, After solving the Ci'an Palace and the Yan family first, and then eradicating the Qin Party, it will be natural for the Holy Lord to suppress the Weiguo Mansion. ”

The third wife means that she is trying to win over the Su family, but this Su family is not the Su family today, but must be replaced by the Su family with the Huang family as the master.

"The eldest brother has been subdued by the Empress Dowager, it doesn't matter, what Daddy Weng means is that you can find a way to make the Empress Dowager and Mr. Weiguo Mansion suspicious, if the two parties can't work together, it will be easy to divide and break." The third lady smiled with her eyebrows and leaned over: "Niangniang, the eldest sister-in-law has a problem in her heart, that is, Liulang's marriage, if the mother can protect Liulang at this time and ask to marry Liuniang, the daughter of the Weiguo Mansion, the eldest sister-in-law will be overjoyed, the queen mother will not only encircle the eldest brother, but will not object, maybe she will persuade the eldest princess, about Liulang to make those things, how can the eldest princess be willing to let her granddaughter suffer?" In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no resentment against the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother's mind moved, she pondered, and there was a smile on her face: "When the first emperor was the emperor, the Weiguo Mansion was prominent, and Liulang couldn't climb the Su family's concubine, but now it's different from the beginning, my father is the prime minister of a country, the Chen family has become a relative of the emperor, although Su Liuniang is a concubine, but she is from the stepfamily, the Huang family is flattering in front of the mourning family, and will not refuse, but it's just that, in this way, wouldn't Chen Yu and Wei Guogong become in-laws?" ”

Chen Yu is the eldest brother of the Queen Mother and the biological father of Liulang.

"This doesn't matter, the horizontal and vertical saints will not let go of Wei Guogong, in the future, the Guogong Mansion is in the hands of the son of the Huang family, how can a daughter have a son important, Huang Tao is such a transparent person, how can he not know that loyalty to the saint is the right way, this time the eldest brother is surrounded by the queen mother, and he is bound to be jealous of the saint, what can he do in the future? The Huang family can't go against us for a daughter who marries. The third wife smiled again: "Huang Tao also offered a strategy to Weng Dad, saying that there is a way to borrow a knife to kill people, so that the Su family and the Yan family can form a mortal enmity, to that point, the empress dowager will not hate the Weiguo Mansion to death, and even the eldest brother, the in-law, will also be angry." ”

He lowered his voice and explained.

Empress Dowager Chen finally smiled, and her head was overwhelmed.

These things happened before the news that Qi Jiatang would save the princess of Chu was announced, and everyone thought that Yu Feng, who had already gone to Chu, would sooner or later fade out of the power struggle, and did not link the Su and Chu mansions together to plan, on the one hand, the Son of Heaven thought that if Qin Zi had a good chance of winning, Qin Xiang was even more confident in his proud granddaughter, and on the other hand, the Chen family held the pulse of the Son of Heaven, thinking that when the Empress Dowager and Yan and Su were settled, the Son of Heaven would also start to cut off the military power of the King of Chu, even if the King of Chu and Qin Xiang became in-laws, they could not defend the status of the Chen family.

Therefore, when the news of the whereabouts of the princess of Chu came back to Jinyang, only the Son of Heaven and Qin Xiang were in a hurry, and the Chen family was still following the plan, in fact, they had no other countermeasures to change the result of the return of the princess of Chu, thinking that this matter was impacting the Qin family, and it was not the turn of the Chen family to be anxious, so they were happy to sit on the sidelines and enjoy the fisherman.

Although Huang Tao understood that the return of Yijing was a major event, he couldn't stop it for a while, and he still followed the steps and put his mind on subduing the commanders of the Jingwei Forbidden Army, but he took the time to remind Qin Xiang that it was bound to cause the disgrace of the princess of Chu, and the king of Chu would either stop marrying another wife, or be removed from the genealogy and reduced to a commoner.

And the three little ladies of the boudoir who are to be married in the Su family, at this time they are also of marriage age, the eldest princess is planning for the marriage of the sixth mother, the seventh mother naturally handed over to the third lady Xu to worry about, as for the eighth mother, but first agreed on a family matter, the man is also the old family of the Dongming Dynasty but not prominent, but the family background is sufficient, Xiao Langjun is eighteen years old, has passed the first township test, has a meritorious reputation, the two sides have already had an understanding, and wait for the marriage of the sixth mother to have an eyebrow, that is, the line.

But what the eldest princess didn't expect was that the Huang family had secretly promised the queen mother's gesture and actually sent Liuniang's Geng post to Shoukang Palace.
