Chapter 228: Unraveling

Haijiao listened to his sister's words, but he was still a little unmotivated: "Having said that, what can Concubine Xu Xian do?" The Queen Mother is dying, and the Zhou family is struggling to protect herself, and the only person she can rely on is Emperor Deguang. Emperor Deguang refused to kill the Sun family, so she had nothing to do. When Emperor Deguang dies and the new monarch succeeds to the throne, she will still be trapped in the harem, with an empty noble status, but she will not be able to influence the government. It's no different from the previous life! ”

In the end, the Sun family can still continue to survive for many years, until Tao Yue cleans up the officials of the old faction of the Sun Pavilion, seizes the power of the court, and the new monarch grows up to be pro-government, and the Sun family will completely fall.

But in this process, what will happen to the military and civilians in the northwest? What will happen to the Zhou family? What will happen to the officials and people under the protection of the Zhou family? Who cares? Maybe even Lord Tao Yue Tao still can't escape the fate of becoming ill and dying of illness due to hard work. The reef didn't want to live a new life on its own, so hard to change, but nothing could change.

The reef is full of unwillingness, but the begonias are quite calm.

She knew in her heart that the people of this era regarded the emperor as very important, and thought that no one could force the emperor to do what he didn't want to do; If the emperor doesn't want to kill, no one can cure him. But is that really the case?

Does the emperor want his sons to die, and leave only a milk doll to inherit the throne? But isn't he going to face such an outcome?

Isn't the emperor angry that the Zhou family controls the military power in the northwest and wants to regain the military power in his hands? But the Hu people frequently disturbed the border, but there were no generals to send in the court, so he could only let the Zhou family continue to guard the northwest until the old Marshal Zhou of Zhenguo died?

Doesn't the Emperor want to take full revenge on his brothers who once competed with him for the throne, so that they can no longer threaten him? But didn't he want to canonize those princes and princes, raise them with good food and drink, and couldn't even find an excuse to punish them, and when he was seriously ill, he would face the threat they brought because he had no children to succeed to the throne?

There are so many things that the emperor can't do!

There are some things that the emperor does not want to do, he can not do them.

There are some people, if the emperor doesn't want to kill, he can not kill them.

As long as the charges against Sun Guifei and Sun Ge Lao are serious enough and the evidence is sufficient enough to make them public, even if the emperor doesn't want to kill them? All the officials of the court knelt down to ask for an order, could he really refuse?

He couldn't.

He won't live for a few years, and he has to think about his posthumous name. What's more, Sun Guifei, who died of his son, and Sun Ge Lao, who supported King Ji against his will, are they really worth the price he paid for his posthumous fame to save?

Haitang believes that if Emperor Deguang is not old and confused, he should know how to choose.

Therefore, Haitang calmly unraveled the reef and said, "Brother, don't worry. Concubine Xu Xian, as a small talented daughter and wife of the people, entered the palace as a nurse but suffered a big change, Queen Wu and the three princes failed to escape, but she escaped safely to Cining Palace, seeking the help of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and after being a palace man for several years, she became the emperor's favorite concubine and gave birth to the eighth prince. Could she have experienced these things that an ordinary weak woman could have handled? She also became the queen mother in her last life, although she was forced back to the harem by the courtiers, she still protected the new monarch and grew up safely, not only completely eradicated the Sun family's faction, but also allowed the new monarch to govern smoothly. Do you think she, who can do these things, is really a simple person? ”

Haijiao calmed down a little and thought carefully: "Indeed...... That doesn't sound like an ordinary woman can do. Empress Dowager Xu...... Although there have been times when she has made mistakes, she is indeed a strange woman. Among the concubines of this dynasty, there are very few who can match her. ”

Haitang smiled: "Since she is such a powerful character, it is impossible to compare to Sun Guifei, right?" Do you think she won't be able to figure out a way to deal with Sun Guifei? In the past, it was because Concubine Sun Guifei was powerful, but she was just a small palace person, but now it is different. Her son is about to become the prince, and when the time comes, her weight in the hearts of outsiders will exceed that of Sun Guifei, so naturally someone will attach to her and charge forward for her mother and son. What's more, to take revenge on Sun Guifei, you don't have to come openly. There are many ways to deal with a person in the harem! With the guidance of Empress Dowager Zhou, how can Concubine Xu Xian's methods be stronger than Concubine Sun Guifei, right? ”

To be honest, Sun Guifei can't talk about any palace fighting methods at all. From the beginning, she relied on the emperor's favor and preference, and she killed people with knives and guns, killing people and setting fires, although she was efficient, she left countless troubles. She only dared to mess around like this because the emperor was willing to protect her, and she was simply pampered and murdered. Compared with the harem of the first emperor's dynasty, the palace fights between the Empress Dowager Zhou and Concubine Chang Gui, Concubine Tao Hui and others cannot be the same at all.

Compared to the harem that Begonia has experienced, it is needless to mention.

Sun Guifei, a former favorite concubine with simple and crude methods, has been able to succeed all the way for so many years, completely relying on the emperor's partiality. In terms of means and scheming, she may not be the opponent of Empress Dowager Zhou or Concubine Xian. She is also older now, her appearance and figure are naturally not as good as when she was young, and she has no son, even if the emperor still has true affection for her, she may not be able to withstand the calculations and provocations of others.

And those advantages she once had, Concubine Xu Xian now has them all, it's just whether she is willing to make up her mind.

Haitang said to Haijiao: "Brother, just wait and see, whether it is to protect the eldest son, or to ensure that the eighth prince can successfully establish the throne, Concubine Xu Xian has to find a way to deal with Sun Guifei." Maybe we are far away in Chang'an, and we have no way of noticing, and Sun Guifei and the Sun family have already suffered a big loss. We really don't need to worry about Concubine Xu Xian, with this kung fu, it is better to think about it first, how to deal with Jin Jiashu in the future? ”

"Jin Jiashu? That's a bit of a hassle. Haijiao frowned, "Now the Zhou family thinks that he is the nephew of Concubine Xu Xian, and presumably Jin Jiashu himself is the same, I don't know how to make him tell the truth." Unless Concubine Sun Guifei uncovers the truth about Concubine Xu Xian's second marriage like in her previous life, can I still say to Jin Jiashu, I have lived two lifetimes, do I know that his mother will admit that she gave birth to him in the future? ”

"Why do we have to tell him the truth?" Haitang felt that his brother was a little bit sharp, "From the beginning, we just wanted to inquire about his life experience from him just to get closer to him and solve the contradiction between Concubine Xu Xian and the Zhou family." But now, he has contacted the Zhou family, and it is impossible for Concubine Xu Xian to misunderstand and complain about the Zhou family. And we just need to know that he has a close relationship with Concubine Xu Xian, whether they are aunts or mothers and sons, and what is the difference? My brother also said before, I'd rather he was really Concubine Xu Xian's nephew, and things could be a little simpler. Let's make the whole thing a little easier. ”

Reef blinked: "You mean...... We pretended not to know about the previous life, and directly regarded Jin Jiashu as the son of Concubine Xu Xian's sister? ”

Haitang nodded: "In this way, we can befriend him generously, and we can also plan for his future openly." If you want to make friends with him, you can also make him feel ready to fight, right? Otherwise, you always want to find out his secrets from his mouth, and he is always on guard against you, how can he be willing to associate with you? When he can write to his 'aunt' in the future, he will not say a good word about you in the letter. ”

Haijiao raised an eyebrow: "That's a big deal...... Empress Dowager Xu has thicker thighs than Lord Tao Yuetao, and I don't want to offend her. He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

Seeing that his brother was finally able to relax, Haitang hurriedly reminded him of one thing: "When Jin Jiashu treats his brother as a good friend, you'd better find a way to remind him without a trace, if you really want to be Concubine Xu Xian's nephew for the rest of your life, you have to do some preparation as soon as possible." ”
