Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 347 Xia Yun's Thoughts
Speaking of these, Feng Yong recalled the scene of being captured by Wei Huaqing that day.

"Raising a tiger is a problem? The emperor's description is flattering the humble minister. The humble minister is just a gangster. Whoever benefits the minister, the minister will belong to him. How can raising a tiger be a trouble? The emperor might as well worry about the greed of the humble minister. "

"No, you won't, if you are a greedy person, your life will not be like this now."

"Is the emperor's words contemptuous of this humble minister?"

"I have never looked down on King Huiwen. If I thought so, I wouldn't be talking to you here, would I?"

"Xiliang intends to ask for peace and send the princess to marry him. The emperor just confers a nobleman, isn't it a bit low?"

"I have just entered the palace, and I have already been promoted to a noble person. Xiliang is not a big tribe, so there is no need to be so grand as a concubine."

"No, isn't that what the emperor thinks in his heart? The old daughter of Xia Ge was named a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she was promoted to a noble concubine in a short time, in charge of Fengyin. And the princess of the Suhe family seems to be a concubine as soon as she enters the palace. I became a concubine. Although the Suhe tribe is a friendly country, shouldn't we be more tolerant when dealing with hostile tribes who take the initiative to show their favor?"

"Could it be that King Huiwen doesn't know why I treat Yan Gui like this?"

"It's all about High Priest Mu's pleading. However, everyone has love. Isn't the love many years ago enough for Priest Mu to plead? Besides, Priest Mu is Priest Mu, and the princess is a princess. They should be treated separately, shouldn't they?"

"Pleading? Isn't it a threat? I naturally know that we should treat each other separately. However, this concubine has no surrender to me. She shuts me out every day. Under such circumstances, there is no reason for me to want to be promoted. ?”

"The emperor's idea is wrong. Since Yan Guiren is like this, you should give her more love, so that she will find out that you are good, right?"

"When did King Huiwen become a great love saint? I don't even know."

"Isn't the outside world always rumored like this?"

"Okay, after talking so much, let me let you go and go back to court. As for the matter of going to court, we will talk about it at that time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"If you want to return to the imperial court to be an official, I can promise you, but tell me, Bai Lan, what are you going to do?"

"What does the emperor mean by this question? If the emperor asks Wei Chen as the king, then Wei Chen can only say that Bai Lan has been lost since she was a child, and Wei Chen doesn't know what to do. If the emperor still asks Wei Chen as he once did He asked me about his identity, but I had no choice but to ask the emperor, how did the emperor know that this person is not Bai Zhi, but Bai Lan?"

"Then I ask you this. She looks so similar. Are you going to take her back?"

"Your majesty, people are similar, trees are similar, what's wrong with that? It doesn't matter whether it's Bai Zhi, Bai Lan, or Junior Sister Lan Xin. They look similar. Is it wrong? I covered it up at the beginning, just to reduce trouble. .”

"If you say that, then I have nothing to say. But you have to know that Bai Lan's identity is a problem after all."

"I don't understand what the emperor said. Bailan has been lost for many years, even if there is a similar one, how can it be Bailan himself? There are not many Bai family members? It is impossible to test relatives with blood. Even if they look similar So what? If the emperor doesn't pursue the matter, no one will. Besides, if the emperor intends to find Bai Lan's fiancée among the people, how can there be no news until now? It can be seen that the emperor's position is for the one who belongs to his heart. People, not Bai Lan. As for the person next to Wei Chen, whether it is Bai Lan or Junior Sister Lan Xin, the emperor doesn't care at all, the emperor is just looking for a crime to arrest Wei Chen, is Wei Chen right?"

"You are still like this, do you know why, did I find you at the beginning?"

"Because of the minister, is it easy to handle?"

"No, it's because, even if you know, you will soon find a way to get some benefits from me. Such a person is better than that greedy one. It's not that I couldn't find someone to help me. To be honest, I found someone to help me. That's what you've taken a fancy to. Just like now, you didn't say anything, and you're still bargaining with me. But if it's someone else, it won't be like this, and maybe you'll even shout and kill. Don't worry, I don't care who is next to you. I won't be interested in keeping her by my side for a person who sees me and shouts to kill her."

"The emperor said that there is no way to deal with karma, do you think so? Maybe Junior Sister Lan Xin regards you as an enemy. But there is no way to do this. The emperor has always had some bad things outside in these years. Fame, maybe it's because of this reputation that Junior Sister Lan Xin misunderstood you."

"I just like people like you who don't speak so bluntly. I understand the truth in my heart, so what do I need from those who dare to speak out? If the ministers of the court and the central government can all understand, I won't have such a headache every day."

"What the emperor said seems to be saying that the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are not as good as the humble ministers. I just have one thing to ask the emperor. Is the emperor really not going to consider who will take the position of the empress?"

"In some positions, no one is worse than someone. It's like at the beginning, it was better to think that I had no hope than to think that I had hope. If I named a queen, what would the imperial concubine think? It's better not to have it, so that everyone can have a better future. Go for some."

"The emperor's words are correct, but the position of Concubine Xia is also special. The Phoenix seal is not just given casually, is it?"

"The favor of Mr. Xia Ge, who has power over the government and the public, deserves a phoenix seal, isn't it?"

"The emperor has far-sighted plans."

"Since the emperor agrees that I will return to the court as an official, I will also give you a big gift."

"Hey, King Huiwen actually has a big gift for me, so why not tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, the balance of power is of course a good thing, but don't forget that if it is always balanced, your profit will always be the same. Breaking this balance from time to time may make you more profitable."

"What is King Huiwen's opinion?"

"Elder Xia Ge certainly has power in the court, but don't forget, Your Majesty, the position of Concubine Xia is already like this. Elder Xia Ge also knows that you will not let her take the second place again, so from now on, it is nothing more than letting her disciples not to be in the lower position." Disobedience to you will not bring you any benefits. Concubine Ning is a foreigner, young and casual, and there are many things that are inappropriate for her to be in the back position. Yan Gui has just arrived, and it is impossible for you to let her take the position. As for Concubine Wan, you were Fujin when you were the Fourth Prince, and your first wife, and there is no great power in the court. Supporting her will not only not break the balance, but will also cause a stimulus to Concubine Xia. Ge Lao will be more attentive to you. Besides, it is not a good thing to have a vacancy in the back seat, is it?"

"King Huiwen should know that I was afraid of breaking the balance when I refused to be queen. Wanyi came from a humble background, so the position of empress might be a bit inappropriate, right?"

"Your majesty, it is precisely because of the humble background of Concubine Wan that you made her empress, which shows that you have deep affection. Don't forget, whether it is Concubine Xia or Concubine Ning, you only got it after you ascended the throne. That is the icing on the cake. Instead of sending charcoal in the snow. Your concubine Wan concubine not only makes everyone feel that you have deep affection, but also helps a person who makes you feel at ease to take the back seat. Concubine Wan is the one who has been with you the longest, and also the one who knows you the most , only she sincerely wishes for your well-being, rather than trying to use this inferior position to help the mother's family. Such a person will reassure you more than anyone in the superior position. And only when such a person is in the position, will you It will work if the people in the harem feel unbalanced."

"I was not sealed when I ascended the throne, but now, is it a bit wrong?"

"How could it be wrong? The emperor can first confer the title of Concubine Wan as Concubine Wan, while Concubine Xia does not have a title, Concubine Wan has a title. Isn't this already overwhelming? Then the emperor can give Concubine Wan an identity, If I remember correctly, Concubine Wan's father has passed away a long time ago. No matter how you pursue the title, you are also a deceased person, and it has no effect on the court. It is just to give Concubine Wan a good background, so that She has enough capital to ascend to the throne. In the end, it is not wrong to confer the title with the reason of having a wife, what is the emperor's opinion?"

"What you said is not unreasonable, but if this is the case, will it be counterproductive? If Xia Ge always thinks this is not good, what should I do?"

"It's just to make Mr. Xia Ge look bad, but he can't say anything. The emperor needs to know that Concubine Wan is the main wife and the first wife. It should be a matter of course that Mr. Xia Ge is unhappy. Even if Mr. Xia Ge is unhappy, he can't say anything What's wrong. Besides, Concubine Wan is a virtuous and virtuous concubine. Her only deficiency is her background. You have given her a good background, why can't she be crowned empress? No matter how uncomfortable Xia Ge is, his daughter is here In the palace, can he still disregard his daughter's life? So don't worry, Mr. Xia Ge will never do anything out of line. Besides, you are the emperor, you will inevitably have three palaces and six courtyards, three thousand beauties in the harem, Concubine Xia is inevitably jealous. Taking charge of Fengyin will always make her feel like a queen. It will be inconvenient for you to balance the forces of all parties in the future. You might as well hand over the management of Fengyin and the harem to someone you can trust earlier, and then no matter what happens So, nothing will happen, isn’t it better? The emperor is a king who loves the country and doesn’t love beauties, so he probably wouldn’t want someone who is jealous everywhere, someone who is in charge of Fengyin, wouldn’t he?”

"You're right. It's just that, how can you guarantee that Wanyi won't be jealous?"

"I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten one thing. You are the emperor, and you are the master of the Sixth Palace of the Three Palaces. You have already given Concubine Wan the highest position in the harem. Why is she jealous? Don't forget, if Concubine Wan is the kind of person who begs for the love and affection of her unique husband, so she must have had a quarrel outside the door of the minister's room just like Concubine Ning did."

"Concubine Ning is young, and some things are just casual."

"It's okay, the concubines in the harem must be different in order to have a fresh feeling. Besides, I have another suggestion."

"Just say what you suggest at once."

"My minister suggested that the emperor should conduct a draft... There are many concubines in the harem, and the emperor is in his prime. On the one hand, the draft can expand the harem, so that the emperor can extend his heirs; , It can also help the emperor balance the forces of various families, so that the emperor can get started as soon as possible and manage the government."

"This suggestion is not bad, but, this draft...how do we choose?"

"Your Majesty, you can first ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to organize and show you the portraits of a few women whose backgrounds meet your requirements. On the day of the draft, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs specially arrange the attire of the young masters. Of course, in order to To show fairness, we should not only choose those from the tribe, but also from the ministers. It is best that the emperor choose a few from those recommended by the people. A few, without power, can let the emperor have a place to relax, isn't it?"

"You are very thoughtful."

"Your Majesty's words should be regarded as a compliment. Your Majesty needs to know that selecting a concubine is the fastest way. Besides, a woman from an aristocratic family will not be far behind if you think about it. Your Majesty can just rest assured."

"Then let's do it like this. Tomorrow, you will take your junior sister Lan Xin with you and prepare to return to court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Maybe Wei Huaqing really wanted to let him off at that time, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so easily.

But Wei Huaqing, when on earth did he move this, the thoughts of the draft canonization?Was it Qin Wanyi who wanted to be named queen at the beginning?
It is undeniable that the reason for making Qin Wanyi a concubine was to win over Xia Yun.

If the queen is sealed all at once, Xia Yun may not be able to do her best as she did later.

When Wei Huaqing came to power, there were many ministers in the court who resigned and returned to their hometowns. At that time, if there were no disciples like Xia Yun who had entered the tide, the government might have been in a mess.

But in this situation, Feng Yong didn't think that Xia Yun would sacrifice her daughter's happiness to let a precious daughter with a sweetheart marry such an emperor.

Why is it?

To be honest, even if Xia Yun didn't marry this daughter, Wei Huaqing would still treat him well.

Think about it in another way, even if it is me, if there is someone who can help me in this way, I don't care at all whether I marry a daughter to myself, unless this daughter is a handle and a bargaining chip from the beginning.

Xia Yun must have done something that made Wei Huaqing uneasy, so he used this method to please him.

With Xia Yun's power, it must be nothing else. Could it be the matter of Wei Huaqing's marriage?
In fact, on that day, unless Wei Huaqing and Xia Qinghe were in love, Xia Yun would not agree to the marriage even if it was granted by the late emperor.

Because Wei Huaqing at that time was a hopeless prince in the eyes of everyone, and Xia Qinghe was a hot clan girl at that time. Even if she didn't marry the prince, she would be very good at entering the palace draft.

In this case, if I were Xia Yun, I would also hope that my child would marry a more promising prince, or simply enter the palace as a concubine, the late emperor's concubine.
