Chapter 554: Old Age
The emperor doesn't like the queen, and he has been too entangled in this matter.
I don't like the queen even more, I have been entangled with him in this matter, and even argued with him for the sake of Zhao Mocheng and Yun Xiaoshuang.
After all, in the emperor's eyes, the queen is his queen, so he should just be on his side all the time.
No matter what happens to Yu Zhongzhong, he must not betray her, and if he really talks about it, the only person he can trust now is probably the queen.
It is in this harem that the other concubines, in fact, in the final analysis, the emperor does not trust them so much.
It is precisely because there are such things in this harem, so his princes will be compared to the queen, and the other concubines will be able to let their princes sit on the throne.
Maybe there are other schemes behind the scenes.
Especially when he saw that the Eighth Prince and the Third Prince he trusted at the beginning, including Yu Zhao Mocheng and Yun Xiaoshuang, had now betrayed him to varying degrees, he didn't trust anyone else.
What's more, in the previous incident, those ministers above the entire court were indeed so ordinary, and to various degrees, they betrayed in different ways.
Even some ministers can be said to have completely become the minions of the three princes.
It is also out of such an idea that the emperor here will think like he does now, and he may betray him.
It's better to just believe in yourself, and then hold the power and control it only in your own hands.
As for what other people will think, and whether they will speculate, her future actions are not so important, at least for the current emperor.
He knew very well that if he couldn't take complete control of it in his own hands, then the first time something like this happened, there would be a second time.
Especially with the Three Princes, after such a lesson from the past, the people who will be caused by the second occurrence will definitely be careful to avoid the possibility of repeating the mistakes of the past.
Not to mention anything else, in this incident, he really suffered a very big loss.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still one Eighth Prince, who would not betray him from now on, and Zhao Mocheng and Yun Xiaoshuang were secretly helping each other.
I'm afraid that he will be completely made up for this poisoning, not to mention that it is still possible, and he will be able to make up for it by returning to the court like now.
But no matter what the situation is, at least in this matter, the emperor does see it very clearly, and has his own thoughts.
So no matter what other reasons, how and to what extent it will develop, for the emperor, what he can believe now is indeed only the queen mother.
If you say, after this warning, the queen mother is still so unrelenting. Continue to defend Zhao Mocheng and Yun Xiaoshuang.
Then he will also isolate the queen and will not give the queen half of her trust.
It was precisely because of this that he said it, just now, the last words of warning.
And for the emperor's warning, the queen mother was also very clear, so when she heard it, the meaning of the emperor's words did not say more.
can only sigh lightly from the bottom of her heart, she came to persuade these words this time, it was really for the emperor's good, and there are some things that she can't say.
After all, she couldn't say it, if the emperor forced Zhao Mocheng to go down like this, Zhao Mocheng might really have rebellious thoughts.
If he said it directly, I was afraid that the emperor would win, and it was conceivable how much Zhao Mocheng's more serious suspicion would make the situation develop at that time.
As for the queen, she doesn't want things to develop to that extent, and she doesn't want to be in this matter, because of her excessive interference, it will lead to the development of the situation.
At this point, it was out of such an idea that I soon saw the queen mother here, and I was subconsciously trying to say something more.
In the end, he stopped talking and didn't say anything more.
It has always been as expressed in the emperor's meaning, and now the emperor still has some trust in him.
But if after this incident, the emperor no longer gives half of the queen's trust, then the queen's position in the harem is also dangerous, very dangerous.
Therefore, the emperor may not necessarily give too much trust to other concubines, but he may suppress him from the position of the queen mother in a way that makes an example of the monkey.
Then he brought up another queen to warn all the harem concubines in the entire harem.
Let them know that their identities all depend on the emperor.
If they have any crooked thoughts, then wanting to do something to them is just the emperor's idea in a moment.
And people like them who are attached to the emperor have no chance to refute it, even if the son is noble by his mother, they gave birth to a dragon heir for the emperor.
In today's situation, it is still very difficult to make, especially those concubines who have children under their knees, but have reached the right age for the prince, will become the target of the emperor's key beating.
Compared with others, you can not say too much for the time being, and you can not put it in front of everyone too much.
But in this matter, the queen saw it very clearly, and also knew that in this matter, it must not be as simple as he guessed.
For such a reason, after hearing the emperor's warning, I saw the queen mother here, and finally didn't say anything else.
also responded simply: "The concubine understands." ”
Seeing that the queen didn't say anything else, she still used such a posture to say what she already understood, which also made the emperor here breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, he knew that he could really be called a loner now, if even the queen was suspected by him and made him no longer trust.
Then he is completely complete, only one person continues to walk, and although the emperor wants to be in power, he doesn't care if there are other people around him.
But he didn't hope that he didn't even have anyone around him to talk to.
In such a thought, when he saw the emperor here, he originally had a warning and serious look, but he also eased and dispersed.
Then the emperor took a step with a faint smile, and then raised his hand to pull the queen's hand, and said very gently.
"As long as the queen continues to be the mother of the world, it is enough, as for other things, they should not be considered by the queen, and I will naturally solve them as soon as possible."
What else can the queen mother say when she hears this?
He could only remain silent, then nodded lightly, and did not refute the emperor's words again.
Don't dare to say anything else, since the emperor has already decided, he wants to go his own way like this, which determines that he must be in power.
So no matter who comes up to persuade them, it may not have any effect, at least now the queen mother also sees it very clearly.
In this matter, for the emperor, there is no room for reversal at all.
Even if she tried to persuade her like this, it would have no effect.
It's still possible to get it wrong, and you'll be involved, and instead of going that far, it's better to simply give up.
It will not bring more trouble to Zhao Mocheng, but it can also avoid that he may be suspicious of the emperor.
It is precisely because of this that the queen mother who saw this side did not mention this matter again in the following time, but just talked about the past with the emperor.
Following.
In the same way, it is also for such a reason, that is, when the emperor was in the early dynasty, the eighth prince, who also knew such a thing, originally planned to be quiet during this time, not to say anything, and not to do anything.
In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion of her, but also to be able to hide her own sense of existence as much as possible.
However, in this matter, he really can't understand something, and he really can't sit idly by.
"There is something to do, nothing to retreat from-"
Seeing that the eunuch over there pinched his throat and shouted such a sentence, the eighth prince here did not delay at all, and walked away directly, and went over to give his hand: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say!" ”
Seeing that the eighth prince stood up directly, the emperor here could also guess what kind of words he was going to say.
Therefore, according to his ideas, it is enough to ignore the prince directly, but in front of such a large public, the face of the civil and military officials is not good, and he directly brushes the face of the eighth prince.
After all, in the incident about Song Rongxi, the Eighth Prince has made a great effort, and he can now return to the grassland, and it is indeed from the Eighth Prince.
So it was also because of this that when he saw the emperor here, he paused for a moment before he spoke again.
"What does the eighth have to report? If it is for the sake of Lord Zhao, then needless to say, I have already ordered it, and it will not be changed at will. ”
The Eighth Prince, who was still planning to carry out some persuasion, would have thought that in his unspoken words, the emperor had already directly denied him.
And it is precisely because of the emperor that he has already seen it.
