Chapter 6, Princess Deslan
"At that time, Princess Dilan was the daughter of a great talent, she had the talent to govern the country, and the affairs of the emperor's husband and wife were also beautiful to talk about, but in the end, she had to have a son of the emperor, and buried the hidden danger of not having many heirs, so that the Dahong Dynasty went downhill, so that it is now difficult to support it alone."
In front of His Majesty and the princess, he said that his grandmother's behavior was "a big disaster", but Su Fengyao thought that with this, Lu Xianchen could be cured of the crime of "contempt for the royal family".
But Su Fengyao was such a transparent person, and he immediately understood what Lu Xianchen meant.
"Grandmother is fifty-six this year, and she stopped asking about politics early." Su Fengyao said.
"Princess Dilan, the Empress Dowager Mingxi, I heard that she is still healthy now, why didn't she ask about political affairs early?" Lu Xianchen said.
Su Fengyao looked at Lu Xianchen's eyes and became serious: "I will take the words of the doctor to heart, and I hope to speak out." โ
Lu Xianchen knelt down facing Su Fengyao: "The courtiers are happy to see that Your Majesty has a very good relationship with the eldest princess, and they are happy to see that the eldest sister of the princess is like a mother, acting for the country, and the Su family is immortal." However, there are pros and cons in one thing, because of His Majesty's illness and the health of the princess, she can't help but have a shift in power, and the courtiers are afraid that some people will do it deliberately. โ
Su Fengyao was a little at a loss.
"But the courtiers think that there is a car before the Empress Dowager Dilan, if the princess follows suit, in fact, there is nothing wrong, the queen mother let the princess take charge, may not be without thinking, but please don't be used by someone with a heart, the future prince-in-law is very important." Lu Xianchen said.
Su Fengyao hurriedly took a few steps forward to help Lu Xianchen: "The medical girl, please get up, hurry up." โ
Lu Xianchen still knelt and said: "And, the princess and Your Majesty are both national surnames, flesh and blood, blood is thicker than water, this is a stormy situation, the disaster of internal strife is greater than external strife, no matter how people have a heart, the princess and Your Majesty must not be taken advantage of by villains at this time, and there will be an accident!" โ
Su Fengyao helped Lu Xianchen up: "What the doctor said is that it was the negligence of the palace, and the negligence of such an important issue will really cause a catastrophe, and it is actually me who has taken the power without authorization and shaken the country of my Su family." โ
"The princess must not be presumptuous, if there is no princess, there will be no stability in the current court." Lu Xianchen said.
"But I really should pay attention to these issues," Su Fengyao bent down and bowed to Lu Xianchen, "I should pay attention to my 'degree' of stabilizing the court, I really shouldn't be reckless." Thank you for the reminder. โ
"Also, my grandmother is old and has not been in good health for the past two days, can I ask the doctor to take a look?"
ยท
All the words just now were said in front of Wang Weice, a kind of temptation from the eldest princess.
It was Su Fengyao who was testing Wang Weice's approach to him.
I don't know what the result of these two people can discuss, Lu Xianchen has to pay more attention to himself at the moment.
The Empress Dowager Mingxi is a very powerful character in the original book, as a princess when she was a child, she went to the Yuanlu faction to practice swords, apprenticed to Tianji Peak, and now the head of the Yuanlu faction is her junior brother, and then returned to the palace, seeing that her father had no children, and several brothers of the same clan fought for power and profit.
Then she embarked on the road to power, her choices, and her marriage were all moving towards the goal of the throne, and the personal feelings of her children no longer had a place in her heart.
As for the role of the existence of this character, it is actually a bit of a tool man, because Su Fengyao is the only granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Mingxi, she will not harm the heroine, but as a shrewd and strong elder who lacks empathy, her education of her juniors can be called strict, and her desire for control is extremely strong.
She even did not hesitate to attack the little emperor, just to let Su Fengyao go to the position she wanted.
Because this role is high enough to leave the factory setting, the Empress Dowager Mingxi can do almost anything, can understand the battlefield layout, can hold Su Fengyao's hand to teach her how to deal with political affairs, and can even hold a sword to protect her granddaughter when the two encounter an assassin attack and a large army.
Similarly, because she knows everything, all the things that can't be explained are thrown at her, and they are explained to be arranged by the Empress Dowager Mingxi behind her back, and the reason for asking is "in order to let Su Fengyao be tempered", "for the continuation of the Su family", "in order to make Su Fengyao not just a weak and amorous little princess".
Su Fengyao's attitude towards her grandmother is also contradictory, on the one hand, her ability to deal with political affairs is taught by her grandmother, he admires her grandmother's talent and character, but on the other hand, the Empress Dowager Mingxi is also really ruthless and has a strict style, Su Fengyao's slightest failure to meet the standards will cause her to be furious, so that the little princess cannot have a sense of dependence on her.
Because this tool is so easy to use, even if the Great Hong Dynasty fell later, and the troubled times were disputed, Lu Xianchen was not willing to write her to death, but "The Queen Mother made a stumbling block and a misunderstanding between her and the male protagonist in order to let Su Fengyao not indulge in the love of her children", so she and the male protagonist stumbled and misunderstood", so it was more than 100,000 words, and finally the heroine woke up and found that everything was done by the grandmother she admired, and the misunderstanding with the male protagonist was solved.
It can be said that by the side of the heroine Su Fengyao, a younger brother Su Fengmo, and a grandmother, the Empress Dowager Mingxi, the purpose of the existence of the two is really to revolve around the heroine, the former shows the weakness and affection of the heroine under the strong and calm appearance and the fragility of an occasional moment, and the latter is more versatile, from teaching her to handle political affairs to building bridges, to the emotional drama of the male and female protagonists in the later stage, if others can't intervene, let the Empress Dowager Mingxi intervene, and if others don't believe the heroine, let the Empress Dowager Mingxi say.
It can be seen that the Empress Dowager Mingxi is a brick, where you need to move it.
"Yes, my dear host, the Empress Dowager Mingxi is too much of a 'plot tool person' is also the point of complaint from readers, her character should be an 'independent strong woman', obviously when she was young, she dared to kill her brother to recruit the emperor's son-in-law, but when she is old, she must cultivate her juniors, not to cultivate her grandson, but to train her granddaughter to become her own self, isn't this idle?" System horn channel.
"Such a domineering and elegant grandmother, can't you let the Queen Mother be the empress directly? Why does the Queen Mother have to bother Baal to milk the heroine, this is 'self-contradictory' with the basic personality, and she is dedicated to the good of the heroine, but she has to be disgusted by the heroine for 'managing too much'. Don't rely on heirs, pursue your own power, and be beautiful alone is the core of this role, right? The system said.
Lu Xianchen called the system's series of words a headache: "Okay, you still tell me directly, what is the reader's opinion?" How do you want me to change this? โ
"Well, in order to balance the novel mechanism as much as possible, we did not change the character of the Empress Dowager Mingxi in the early stage, that is, she is still a domineering woman, but respecting the characteristics of the character, we systematically chose to let the Empress Dowager Mingxi get a serious illness after the death of her son, that is, the first emperor, so that she was so sick that she couldn't go to the court and deal with political affairs, so that the little emperor ascended the throne." System horn channel.
"And this queen mother is particularly strong, she is stunned to hide her illness and not let the heroine know, and from time to time she also teaches the heroine to deal with political affairs, because she thinks that her time is running out and shows the image of a loving grandmother, how about it, it is much more reasonable than what you wrote." The system is still complacent.
"Just say what I need to do." Lu Xianchen said.
The blue woolen ball staggered: "We still have two choices, the first choice is to let the Empress Dowager Mingxi die directly, just die of illness, or cure her, and let her still maintain her ambitious character after being cured, and go against the heroine." โ
Lu Xianchen hesitated for a moment: "Then can't the status quo be maintained?" It is to let the Queen Mother continue to be sick and maintain the status quo. โ
"No," the system said, "The character of the Empress Dowager Mingxi is shrewd to the point of becoming a master, from the death of the first emperor to the present, she has been sick for six years, and she has not died for six years, she is used to it, she is no longer willing to just recuperate in the harem, and she wants to come to the court." โ
"Host, the choice of this matter is yours, and the choice of Plingnuo to cure the disease and save people or poison and kill people is up to you." The system circled around her again, then disappeared into midair.
Lu Xianchen still hesitated, thinking about what to do.
Speaking from the heart, she doesn't want such a powerful and well-connected person in the original book to stand on the opposite side of the heroine, this is going to be on the bar, it's equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg, right?
Lu Xianchen wants to complete the final task of "healing the heroine", the premise is that the heroine is alive, if the heroine is killed halfway, he will not be able to complete the task.
But do you really want to kill this character?
Lu Xianchen thought about it, and then heard someone invite her, saying that the eldest princess asked her to go over and sit.
Yes, Lu Xianchen's words gave Su Fengyao a multiple-choice question, this Jiangshan is surnamed Su, but only one person can sit on the throne.
Because of the experience of the Empress Dowager Mingxi, it is not impossible for Su Fengyao to want to sit on it, not to mention that she is now acting as an agent for the government, and there has been no major chaos.
But if she wants to take power, she will have to face a rather thorny problem - the imperial son-in-law.
Princess Dilan was a princess when she chose her son-in-law, and the brothers in the clan competed with her for power and profit, there was no clear news that this concubine was the future emperor, and others also said that Princess Dilan was too domineering and unwilling to marry her, but Su Fengyao was different, she was a conspicuous piece of fat, the little emperor was weak and sickly, marrying her was equivalent to half of her ass sitting on the dragon chair, and countless people were looking around, and it was not her who ran, but the power represented behind Su Fengyao.
In addition, in the past 20 years, the Su family's royal family has declined to this point, and the influence of the emperor's son-in-law on the princess's power has long been not the "icing on the cake" when Princess Dilan, but "luring the wolf into the house".
And if Su Fengyao is not in power, what he can do is to maintain the status quo, so that the little emperor with a weak constitution can gasp for breath without a mouthful, until he can no longer breathe, and all the contradictions erupt, which is even more unprepared.
That is the sword of Damocles hanging overhead, flickering, and the feeling of not being able to cut it is not comfortable.
Lu Xianchen hoped that Su Fengyao would make a decision.
