The princess is a flirt, and the prince loves her dearly

Chapter 190: Efforts cannot defeat power

Tang He lowered his head, as if begging, "Please be fair, Your Majesty."

Xiao Beichen ignored his plea and just said: "It all depends on whether Lord Tang is willing to cooperate."

"Old minister understands."

This time, Tang He called himself an old minister just to let Xiao Beichen understand his willingness to cooperate.

Tang He slowly stood up, walked to the wall, took down the hanging painting, took out a small stack of letters from the hole behind it and handed them to Xiao Beichen.

"Your Majesty, this is the instruction from the Empress Dowager that I have received for many years."

Xiao Beichen handed the letter to Jiang Wan, helped her sit down, and began to interrogate her.

"I want to know everything about the Empress Dowager and Consort Wen Shu."

"Yes, I will tell you everything I know."

Then Tang He seemed to be lost in memories, searching for his original memories.

Now in his twilight years, he can no longer remember some things clearly.

Jiang Wan was flipping through some useful letters on the side. Xiao Beichen was talking to Jiang Wan from time to time. Both of them didn't seem to pay much attention to Tang He who was lost in deep thought.

I do not know how long it has been.

Tang He finally remembered the first thing and slowly told him all the things that had been buried until now and made him uneasy.

At the beginning, Tang He was a talented scholar, but he was not a child of a noble family or a son of a wealthy family.

He is just an ordinary person.

He became a celebrity at a student conference held in the town.

I thought I would live the rest of my life in the direction I had expected.

Unexpectedly, on a full moon day, someone came to our house.

Here came someone he couldn't refuse.

"Mr. Tang is extremely talented. Don't you think it's a bit of a waste of your talent to be here?"

This one sentence revealed the reluctance deep in his heart.

He studied hard for many years and made countless efforts to pass the imperial examinations.

But! Efforts can never defeat power.

He went to check the list with great joy, only to see that he had failed.

He didn't believe it and went to find the examiner in charge of their place.

However, he discovered that it was not because of his own ability that he failed the exam, but that his grades and all his hard work were surpassed by the young master of the Li family in the town.

The Li family is rich and powerful, and there are noble officials in the family. How can a poor scholar like him compare to them?

With no way to file a lawsuit, Tang He felt helpless.

Tang He gave up unwillingly. He had no shortcut to compete with them.

Later, Tang He often participated in various folk student conferences and gradually gained some fame.

After that, he was visited by the man, who told him how unwilling he was, and also said that he could help him take everything back and avenge him.

Tang He agreed.

Why wouldn't I, a lone man, agree?

What's more, he was unwilling to accept his inability to do anything at the beginning.

With their help, Tang He climbed up step by step.

His revenge was achieved, and Master Li, who had opposed him, was trampled under his feet personally. The feeling at that moment was indescribable.

It was not until his career went smoothly and he climbed higher in the career ladder that he realized who had helped him.

It was Feng Ping, the former queen of the current Empress Dowager.

Feng Ping wanted her son to become the new emperor, not her to be someone else's queen mother.

At that time, Feng Ping's son was only known as a legitimate son, neither the eldest nor the youngest.

He was not outstanding in any aspect among the other princes, and was even a bit violent in private.

For various reasons, the emperor abandoned his legitimate son and chose other sons.

At that time, Feng Ping was completely unwilling to accept this, and she began to recruit people everywhere. She wanted her son to become the legitimate emperor!

After planning for half a lifetime, my son left, and so did my grandson. All my efforts were in vain.

When talking about the relationship between Concubine Wen Shu and Feng Ping, Tang He smiled.

"You two don't really think that a mere concubine would be so bold as to deliberately usurp the throne?"

Jiang Wan folded the letter in his hand and looked up at him, "So Mother Wen Shu is just the one taking the blame."

"Haha! As for who it is for, is there anything else I, the old minister, can say?"

"Since you have nothing to do, Lord Tang, you can tell me whether it is consistent with my guess."

"How can it be inconsistent? The kindness is like a rebirth, and Mother Wen Shu is just repaying the kindness."

At the beginning, Feng Ping's plan attracted the attention of the emperor.

The retired emperor hated such dirty things the most, so he ordered people to investigate.

Seeing that some things could no longer be concealed and were about to be exposed, Feng Ping did not want to fail and spend the rest of her life in the cold palace.

She was planning day by day, thinking about how to resolve the matter in a perfect and appropriate manner.

Just when the people under the Emperor found out who she was planning, Feng Ping was unwilling to sit and wait for death and could no longer wait.

Feng Ping went to see Concubine Wen Shu to express her gratitude and asked her to take charge of everything.

Mother Wen Shu was unwilling at first. No matter how great the favor was, she would repay it alone. How could she be willing if she had to involve her mother's family?

Unexpectedly, just when Concubine Wen Shu was considering, Feng Ping's men were arrested. At this critical juncture, she no longer had time to wait for Concubine Wen Shu to consider.

She promised, just her.

Mother Wen Shu agreed.

Who would have thought that the promise at that time was worthless. After her mother Concubine Wen Shu took the blame for her, Feng Ping no longer cared about the promise. In order to clear herself, she pushed three generations of the Liang family in front of the retired emperor.

The retired emperor was furious, and both Concubine Wen Shu and her mother's family were killed.

In the end, only Princess Wenshu, who was disliked and hated by the retired emperor, survived.

For Feng Ping at that time, how could it be more credible for one person to take the blame alone than for a family?
