At first, when she heard the news that her father had entered the palace, Empress Dowager Sun didn't care.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is reasonable for the abbot to enter the palace to meet his daughter.

But as soon as Sun Zhong opened his mouth, he shocked the Empress Dowager Sun.

If you want to say that the most jealous person in the life of Empress Dowager Sun, it is naturally Queen Hu. And after the death of Xuanzong and the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Sun's means were also decisive enough. In just one year, Princess Shunde and Queen Hu were on the road one after another.

The emperor previously proposed to restore Empress Hu's position, but Empress Dowager Sun had endured it. Now that the emperor has intensified his efforts to pass himself on to Empress Hu, isn't this too much of a deception?

Once Empress Hu is reinstated, and the emperor succeeds to Empress Hu, who is the son-in-law between the emperor and the emperor?

If the emperor does not stop in the future and continues to take more actions to further weaken the legitimacy of the emperor, it is very likely that in the end, even the crown prince Zhu Jianshen will become the eldest son of Xuanzong's eldest son. At that time, could Zhu Jianshen's position as the crown prince still sit?

Although Empress Dowager Sun's ability to govern the country is a mess, it is difficult to teach Zhu Qizhen in a word. But in terms of fighting for power, he is indeed a good hand.

After hearing the news and analyzing it slightly, he understood the emperor's intentions and the situation he was about to face.

Seeing that his daughter was silent, Sun Zhong complained with some dissatisfaction: "In the past six months, the Emperor Taishang has lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he has lost the society. And the emperor turned the tide and built an immortal achievement.

In contrast, the emperor's reputation was greatly damaged, and the emperor's prestige was unimaginably high.

Why are you moving the King of Servants at this time? Originally, the Emperor Taishang still had the advantage of orthodoxy, and the emperor was just a small concubine.

Even if he wants to honor Empress Hu, we can organize forces to stop him, after all, the emperor only controls the head of the cabinet and the six ministries, and there are quite a few civil and military officials who have their hearts set on the emperor.

As a result, you made such a play, and now the government and the opposition are all sympathetic to the emperor and Empress Hu.

In the hearts of the people of the world, Empress Hu is an innocent victim, and the emperor is also an innocent victim.

Moreover, the emperor is even more innocent in the hearts of the people of the world, and he has just made immortal achievements, and all his children were killed when he turned his head.

Now that public opinion has become a general trend, whoever goes up to block it will be ruthlessly crushed. ”

After Sun Zhong finished speaking, he shook his head vigorously and sighed heavily.

All the palace people stood at the door of the main hall from a distance, and the Empress Dowager Sun also sighed, and whispered the truth to her father: "I originally thought that the emperor would guard against thieves like a thief in the palace of the king of Yu all day long, and he would also send the king of the palace out of Beijing next year.

In this way, the Yu Wangfu and Wang Shi and others have no use value for us.

Therefore, I ordered someone to do something to make the king seriously ill, which can be regarded as a warning to the emperor.

If the emperor is willing to restrain himself, then forget it. If the emperor still intensifies, then at the beginning of the Zhengdan Dynasty, he will send the king back to heaven.

In this way, there are many ways to kill one stone. The Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting will definitely not be able to continue, so it can only be forced to terminate. And the emperor lost his only son on the first day of his Jingtai Dynasty. This is a clear proof that the emperor is not favored by heaven, and it will inevitably greatly damage the emperor's prestige and make the whole country suspicious.

Again, if the prince dies young, the emperor's fertility will also be questioned, causing turmoil in people's hearts.

In this way, the emperor is too busy to take care of himself, and he will not have the energy to press us step by step for a while. ”

Sun Zhong nodded when he heard this, and said that his daughter's plan was very vicious and ingenious. If the emperor's only son really died on the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty, the impact on the situation would be absolutely exactly the same as his daughter expected.

If you are someone else, after thinking of this strategy, you will also be confident and complacent. But how did it suddenly become like this?

I only heard Empress Dowager Sun continue: "The Cui Yuan sentence of Natai Hospital is an old man I have used for many years, and the means of treating people are extremely clever.

It is said that if the king dies at the beginning of the Zhengdan Dynasty, the king will definitely go on the road on time that day, and it will never be sooner or later.

But something went wrong here, and King Yu died three days early.

Immediately afterwards, Hang committed suicide, and Wang set himself on fire. It all happened so fast that by the time we knew it, we didn't have time to react, and it was all over. ”

Sun Zhong asked curiously: "What happened on the night of Wang's self-immolation?" ”

Empress Dowager Sun shook her head: "I don't know, the subordinate officials and guards of the palace were strictly imprisoned at that time, and they were all exiled the next day, and it is impossible for them to know what happened in the backyard of the palace."

As for the eunuchs, palace maids, and concubines, it is possible to know, but they were also ordered to be executed by Concubine Wu the next morning.

Not to mention the people we planted in the Yuwang Mansion, the entire Yuwang Mansion is gone.

On that day, it was Jinyiwei who interrogated Wang, and then was responsible for placing Wang under house arrest. It is likely that Jin Yiwei did something wrong and did something excessive during the interrogation of Wang.

Wang has always been a big person, and he has always regarded himself as the emperor's wife and wife, and he was quite dissatisfied with the emperor's cold reception. At that time, Jinyiwei was tortured and interrogated, pointing out that Wang had poisoned King Yu. Under Wang's anger, it is not impossible to self-immolate in anger. ”

Sun Zhong sighed when he heard this: "I didn't expect the emperor's methods to be so vicious and sophisticated, and he directly cut through the chaos with a quick knife, not only breaking the nirvana situation you laid down, but also forcing us into a dead end."

So what's next? Can we compromise with the Emperor? ”

Empress Sun asked, "Is the Minister of Chinese Wu willing to stand up against the emperor?" ”

Sun Zhong replied categorically: "Don't think about this, now that public opinion has become a general trend, it is extremely unfavorable to us." Whoever stands up against the emperor now will be mercilessly swallowed up by public opinion.

Anyway, the civil servants, military generals, and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty will never come forward.

As for the vassal king, maybe someone will? Hasn't King Xiang always been quite dissatisfied with the emperor, I don't know if he is willing to come forward or not.

Anyway, I don't want to try, now the soldiers and horses of the Jingshi are all in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor can't think of it, destroying the Sun family is just a matter of waving his hand. ”

Empress Dowager Sun replied with a look of embarrassment: "It's just that at this point, how can we compromise?" ”

Sun Zhong hesitated for a moment and gave a constructive suggestion: "Let's completely back down and admit defeat, and when Princess Qi gives birth to a son-in-law, let's take the initiative to change the crown prince."

Then you and the Emperor Taishang took the whole family to live in Fengyang, and I took the Sun family back to my hometown.

As long as we have fine clothes, fine food, glory and wealth, based on my observation of the emperor, he will agree. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she replied categorically: "No, I definitely can't agree to this." In that case, the Hu family is still Yuan's wife, and I have become a concubine again.

I and the first emperor are husband and wife, why should I hand over everything of the first emperor to a scumbag who came out of nowhere. ”

Sun Zhong also couldn't sit still, and complained angrily: "For this wife and concubine, I have been making trouble for most of my life. Why bother, is it worth taking the Sun family to die with a mere name? ”

Sun Zhong was emotional for a while, and he spoke a little loudly, and the palace people guarding the door of the main hall looked over together.

Since it has attracted the attention of the palace people, it is impossible to talk about it. Sun Zhong forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, comforted him a few words, and left.

……

In the evening, the capital is even more lively.

The sound of firecrackers continued, enveloping the entire capital. The first is to celebrate the joy of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and reuniting with the family; the second is the victory of He Chong's defeat in Warat and the defense of the Beijing Division; The third is the righteousness of the emperor's heir and the restoration of Empress Hu.

Zhu Qiyu took the favorite concubines to kowtow in the concubine's dormitory, preparing to celebrate the New Year with the concubine.

The concubine waved her hand: "You don't have to accompany me, there have been so many things in the past few days, and I am not in the mood for the New Year." You go back to the room to keep the New Year together, I'll drink a cup of soothing tea and I'm going to sleep. ”

Zhu Qiyu saw that the concubine had made up her mind, so she could only take the concubines back to her room.

Fortunately, the soft couch was big enough, and everyone sat on the couch, hugging the brocade quilt and leaning on each other. While chatting, keep the New Year.

And they were to fast for three days for those of the king's house, and they were not to eat meat or do intimate things for the New Year.

So there is a rare quiet and serene in the room.

It was extremely rare for the master and slave to respect each other, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing, so Zhu Qiyu said to everyone: "The night is long, why don't I tell you a story." ”
