Gao Zhong is gone, the princess wants to find a consultation, find her father, and her father will definitely kill him and find the prince? Talking to that little kid, isn't it the same as discussing with the young master, can this kind of thing be said by outsiders? Xi'er? Seeing that every time Xi'er sees the pony's * appearance, she can't wait to kneel down and lick the pony's toes, even if the pony farts are fragrant.

Mother? Concubine Cao Huangniang, her biological mother, should always be towards herself, she is still a Han, go and listen to what she has to say.

The third princess came to Cining Palace, and Emperor Cao was asking the palace maids and eunuchs below to prepare the dowry for the third princess. The princess is the busiest when she gets married, and Mingzhu is her own daughter, who has been well-behaved and delicate since she was a child, and she is very loved by herself. She couldn't wait to give all the rewards that the emperor gave her to this little girl.

Yelu Nanxian, the queen of Western Xia, also passed away more than eight years ago, and there was no queen in Western Xia, and Concubine Cao, as the biological mother of the crown prince, was favored by the emperor and presided over all matters in the harem, which was not the queen's queen.

Seeing that the daughter who was about to get married came over, Concubine Cao put down the things in her hand, took her daughter's hand, was very happy, and took a turn in Cining Palace, so that the princess could see the dowry given to the princess, of course, this is only a part, so many things dazzled the third princess, the princess was thinking about the problem of the horse, and she didn't have the heart to rejoice, these things are only Xi'er gentleman Nizi will be happy when she sees them, the princess will not take care of some things, and she will not let Xi'er take care of them in the future. When she returned to the dormitory, she saw that the third princess was still frowning, and Princess Cao asked with a smile:

"That little girl messed with our pretty princess?"

"Mother Niangniang, Master Ma has been here today."

"Hehe, Master Ma should be happy to have come to Mingzhu, what's the matter, he bullied you?" Who has the courage to do so much in this palace? It's usually not possible.

"He said three things, and asked me to promise him to be a colt, otherwise he would go back to Jiangnan."

"You talk about those three things, it must be more important than his death, otherwise how could he risk his death to return to Jiangnan?"

The princess told Concubine Cao what Gao Pet said again. Concubine Cao listened to the third princess and asked the princess to sit down.

"You sit down first. I'll tell you a true story that happened in our palace, and even if you know it, I'll tell you it again, so you can think about it and understand the truth in the story. ”

"Your father, when he was three years old, his great-grandmother Empress, who loved your father, passed away, and in the same year, Huizong, who was your imperial grandfather, your father's father, also passed away, and your imperial grandfather was only twenty-six years old when he died of illness. So when your father was three years old, he inherited the Tired Dao system, ascended the throne, and became an emperor. ”

"However, the three-year-old emperor, he still doesn't understand anything, what can he do, can he manage such a big country? No, at this time, the Empress Liang of the Liang family, the mother of the emperor, and her uncle Liang Yiqi jointly assisted the government. In charge of this court. To be in charge of the country is to have the responsibility of being in charge of the imperial court, and this responsibility is to build our Western Xia Kingdom into a stronger, richer, and safer country. However, Empress Liang, as our person in the Li family of the Xia Dynasty, stood in the wrong position, he did not put the interests of Western Xia first, but stood in the position of his mother's family, the Liang family, and fought for the power and profit of the Liang family with his brother. Mingzhu listened to the secrets of the royal family of the concubine, and her eyes widened, she couldn't imagine that the concubine could see it so deeply.

This Cao Huang Concubine is the young lady of the Cao family of the Great Song Dynasty, who is well-read and reasonable, knows but never asks about the affairs of the court, sometimes the emperor takes the initiative to talk about listening to her opinions, she can always give suggestions to the point, and there is no one for her in the court, so this Li Qianshun likes her very much, maybe Li Qianshun yearns for the big cultural system and Queen Cao also has a lot to do with it. Over the years, only since Concubine Cao managed this harem, nothing has happened very much, Li Qianshun is very satisfied, and wants to make Concubine Cao the queen, but Concubine Cao refused, she said to the queen: "I am a person from my father's family is the Great Song Dynasty, and I am the queen, and the country is golden, and I will not agree, and the ministers below the emperor will not agree, and their feelings can't stand it." If the emperor favors me, let me accompany the emperor happily like this! Li Qianshun also suppressed the idea of standing up, even if the minister below mentioned it, he refused.

"They expanded the power of their parent party internally and firmly controlled the power of the government; The old cronies and ministers of the ancestors were framed and squeezed out. In order to alleviate internal contradictions, following the example of the previous dynasty, it still pursued a war policy of reckless military force, and used the continuous use of troops against the Song Dynasty to divert the attention of domestic crises and important ministers in the imperial court. During the 13 years that your father was in power, he waged more than 50 wars, some more than six or seven times a year. That Liang Yikui frequently attacked the Song Dynasty, and at the same time, he also exchanged appointments with the Song Dynasty tributary envoys, and there were endless contacts. When Liang Yikui became more powerful, his ambitions swelled further, wanting to control the Queen Mother, and even plotting to usurp the Queen Mother's power. The Queen Mother knew of his scheme, and the two brothers and sisters had a conflict. In October of the third year of Tianyou Min'an (1092), in the battle of Huanqing in Song and Xia, the Empress Dowager Liang personally led the troops to fight, and did not grant Liang Yiqi the right to command the army. In October of the fifth year of Tianyou Min'an (1094), Empress Dowager Liang received a report of Liang Yikui's conspiracy and rebellion, and with the support of the imperial ministers Wei Ming Ah Wu and Rindo Baozhong, she arrested and killed Liang Yikui and his family. ”

"Without Liang Yiqi's constraints, the Empress Dowager Liang has the power alone, but maybe she wants to grab something from the Great Song Dynasty, maybe she still likes to fight by nature, and the treasury is empty and the national strength is greatly damaged, in the second year of Yong'an, the Shangguo Liao Daozong saw that the Empress Dowager Liang was arbitrary and arbitrary, and she was unpopular, so he sent someone to kill the Empress Dowager Liang and ordered her father to govern herself, and her father was 16 years old that year."

"Why was Empress Dowager Liang killed by Shangguo, and why did Liang Yikui die?" Concubine Cao took a sip of milk tea. Concubine Cao wanted to tell Princess Mingzhu about the Xixia harem, and told her about the reasons and experiences for the emperor's love when the queen was alive in the past few decades.

"Why?" Mingzhu was attracted by the story and asked.

"One reason is not knowing one's own responsibilities, and the other is to allow one's desires to swell. Let me give you another example. ”

"Our queen Yelu Nanxian is the princess of Cheng'an of Liao, the former prince is the queen's son, and their mother family is the royal family of Liao, and has always been supported by Liao, so they have deep feelings for Liao. This is human nature, and there is nothing to blame. More than ten years ago, when the Jin State attacked the Liao State, the Empress and the Prince of Renai often asked my Xia State to send troops to support the Liao State, and Liao is our upper country, and one of our subject countries gives this kind of support to the Shang Kingdom, and it is also appropriate to send troops, and our Xia State and your father and the emperor also do the same. But eight years ago, the Liao State has been defeated, the power of the Jin State has been very strong, my country's Xia State is a small country, and it cannot independently confront the Jin State, but it has also repeatedly pressured the father to send troops against the Jin State, which is not very brainy, your father did not agree, the Liao State was destroyed, they were very angry, and later, in that year, the father emperor for the survival of my party Xiang clan and the Xia State, to the Jin State of courtiers, the benevolent prince and the queen were very sad, and soon the prince died of depression, the queen will destroy the mother country and the death of the prince, blamed on his father's head, he was disheartened, and he committed suicide by hunger strike a few days after the death of the prince. ”

"In this matter, your father did the right thing, because he stood in the position of my Great Xia Kingdom and the Dangxiang clan, if it was according to the meaning of the prince and the queen, maybe there would be no us today, so your father and emperor did things with reason and put the overall situation first, and people scolded for a long time for this. And the benevolent prince and queen do things on their own feelings, not on the right side. ”

"What the horse raised was the major issue of the Gao family, and there was no room for compromise. He can be killed without being a colt, but he can't let people harm the fundamental interests of the family, which is also the foundation for the Gao family or many other families to survive for thousands of years. We in the Great Xia Kingdom also have such a set of principles. ”

"This requires you to switch identity roles. Once you get married, you are a member of the Great Song Dynasty, a member of the Gao family, and of course you are still the princess of the Xia Kingdom, which is only useful in the Xia Kingdom. ”

"If you can't handle this relationship well, it is possible that the Gao family will be ruined, because behind you is a kingdom, even if this kingdom is small, it is not something that a family can bear."

The Queen Mother said a lot, the Queen Mother is a Song person, and she is also the princess's biological mother, if the princess has a big conflict with the Gao family, the Gao family may be ruined, but the princess cannot be happy. So let the princess think for herself.

"Mother concubine, I can still distinguish this kind of question of right and wrong, but I am a princess." The third princess was still a little unwilling in her heart.

"Princess, you are first and foremost a colt's wife, a mother, and secondly a princess. I wish you could remember that. I'll give you another example and see how you deal with it. ”

"If you are Gao Chong's wife, you also gave birth to Gao Chong. If your Gao family has a very powerful weapon, such as the kind of bow that Gao Zhong gave to the prince. ”

"This bow is probably the Gao family's top secret. One day, the Gao family has this kind of thing for your father to know. He sent someone to you and asked you to steal this technology out to the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

"At this time, you are in a dilemma, you ask the Gao family, of course, they will not give it, do you steal, or don't steal?"

"Do I steal or not?" muttered the third princess.

"If you steal, then you are betraying the Gao family, and your position is in the position of the Xia Kingdom. If found, it is likely to be a dead end. Is your husband and son more important than your father? If you don't steal, you'll offend your father. Maybe there will be this day, but I hope you never encounter this kind of thing. ”

"If you have gains, you will also lose, you will be willing to give, you will have to give to gain, you want everything, which means that you may lose everything. It's good to be a royal princess and concubine, but you also know that you will also lose a lot. Look at you Princess Mingyue. ”

"Princess, the mother wants you to live happily and happily, and in this way, you must be clear on matters of principle, otherwise you will ruin the Gao family, and even more so yourself."

The third princess knows that she loves Gao Pet very much, and she can't do without it, if there is no Gao Pet, she may marry Li Xiao'er who has eyes above the top, maybe marrying him can put the princess's score, but if she doesn't love him, will she be happy? Will it be happy? The mother said that if you have gains, you will lose. The third princess made a decision in her heart, just hoping that he could always treat herself well.
