Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

This official was Miss Liu’s father. He was of the seventh rank when he was appointed, and he was still of the seventh rank ten years later.

Lord Liu was unwilling to be a minor official for his whole life, so he decided to copy Lord Liu's method and send Miss Liu to the palace as a concubine. With Concubine Liu taking Miss Liu into the harem from time to time to take care of her, and Miss Liu was good at pleasing the emperor, it really worked.

It was a pity that Miss Liu worked too hard. Concubine Liu and Lord Liu, who originally only wanted her to enter the palace as a concubine, did not expect that the emperor would make Miss Liu the empress. At the beginning, they only focused on the position of the four concubines. It was wrong to blame Miss Liu for working too hard, and they did not dare to blame the emperor. They did not dare to let the Liu family be enemies with the five major families at the same time.

Several major families were unwilling to be inferior to the Liu family, so they directly dismissed Lord Liu from his post and kept him at home without even going through the morning court discussion. However, this made the emperor even angrier. He felt that the major families did not listen to him and were deliberately going against him. He had no prestige at all, so how could he be the emperor?

The emperor of the previous dynasty had not yet taken power, but the emperor had the final say in the harem. Everyone was trying to stop him from making Miss Liu his empress, but he insisted. The more he insisted, the more the families targeted the Liu family. Not only was Mr. Liu dismissed from office, he was also arrested and liquidated.

The Liu family had no way to express their grievances, but Miss Liu could not bear to see her father suffer, and being young, she could not bear the anger and went to complain to the emperor. Concubine Liu had been in the harem for many years and was not stupid enough to give birth to a princess safely. She knew that complaining at this time might add fuel to the fire, but unfortunately her niece did not listen to her advice, and her brother did not listen to her either.

The emperor wanted to vent his anger on behalf of the Liu family, to rule the country himself, to suppress other forces, and to use the Liu family's affairs to cause a big disturbance in the imperial court and the harem. The issue of establishing a queen lasted for half a year, and in the end the emperor won and successfully established Miss Liu as the queen. The loser always had to pay the price, and the weakest party became the scapegoat.

It turned out that the Li family, the natal family of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, was the weakest party, but when the Holy Mother Empress Dowager cried in front of the emperor, the scapegoat became the Ye family. The Ye family was not weak, but the family members were all military generals, and their strength in the capital was slightly inferior to that of other families while guarding the border.

Because of the untimely transmission of information, the Ye family suffered heavy losses, and the original Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, also became a frustrated person in the harem. She was targeted by the Virgin Queen Dowager and the Queen at the same time. Finally, she had to leave the harem in the name of worshiping Buddha in order to get some peace.

The original body hated the emperor, his family and the previous emperor.

She was only in her twenties when she entered the palace, while the late emperor was already in his forties, an old man. Letting her enter the palace as empress was just to use her as a hostage, a favor and also a warning. She was the successor and the emperor's third empress.

Before the late emperor passed away, he asked her to control the Holy Mother Empress Dowager in front of his uncle and the ministers. The original body kept her promise and did it, but succeeded in earning the resentment of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Li family. The emperor knew that the late emperor did it all for him, and she, the mother empress dowager, offended Empress Dowager Li and the Li family for him, the emperor.

As a result, the emperor got the benefits, but turned around and didn't care about what she did. When the Li family targeted her and the Ye family, he not only watched coldly, but even stepped on them one by one. He did not let the Ye family go until it was defeated. Except for her, the empress dowager, all the other members of the Ye family were exiled to Lingnan.

Since ancient times, emperors have been fickle. The late emperor and the emperor were not good, but the Ye family was not good either. The late emperor did not insist on making her the queen. There were other solutions, but the Ye family and the emperor chose the easiest solution.

Since she is a woman, sacrificing her is the easiest.

Ye Zhiqiu could understand the original body's thoughts. A good young lady from the Qian family, not only did she enter the palace to marry an old man, but she also remained a virgin for the rest of her life. If this happened in modern times, it would mean that everyone would have nothing, no power, and no freedom. Who could bear it?

The original body's complicated feelings towards the family can be put aside for now. He definitely has no good feelings towards the emperor and other families, and killing them will not go wrong. The only question is which method of going crazy is more suitable for causing trouble.

The timing was good, as the emperor was in conflict with everyone and insisted on making Miss Liu his empress. Others opposed this by asking the family members to take action in the front court and send the young ladies to the harem to continue to please the emperor.

However, the Ye family felt that taking action in the previous dynasty was not enough, and asked her mother, the Empress Dowager, who always disliked attending palace banquets, to publicly criticize Miss Liu at the palace banquet on Mid-Autumn Night. It would be best if they could make Miss Liu look bad and eliminate her possibility of becoming the Queen.

The original incarnation did this in the previous life and succeeded, but this incident also angered the emperor, and the final fate of the Ye family was the worst among the major families.

When she came, she would not rush to the front like her original self. She had stayed in Renshou Palace since the death of the previous emperor and rarely saw outsiders except the emperor. She was forced to live in this hellhole. The emperor hoped that she could use his mother's status as the empress dowager to grant him marriage and support him in ruling the country. In exchange, he could make Miss Ye a concubine.

The emperor dared to do this because he was a good person and was easily soft-hearted towards everyone. The emperor was also a child he had watched grow up, so he would agree to anything as long as the request was made.

In addition, there was no suitable daughter from the direct branch of the Ye family to enter the palace, and the candidate for queen was the daughter of the side branch. No matter her family background, ability or appearance, she was the worst among the candidates. No matter who was chosen, it was impossible for the Miss Ye family to be chosen as queen, so the emperor said it directly.

Even if the original body had no political sensitivity, he would still feel that the emperor was bullying honest people. The Ye family was a family of military generals. They had been fighting all over the world since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Even the previous generation of the Ye family had died on the battlefield. A worthless concubine made the Ye family become enemies with several other major families at the same time.

The original body didn't know how to deal with it, so she thought of using the tactic of delaying and moving into the alchemy room to turn a blind eye to it. As a result, the original body's niece was also ruthless. She directly announced to the public that the Holy Mother Empress Dowager would not come out unless she was made the queen. Fortunately, she didn't say that the original body wanted to use hunger strike to force the emperor.

Who knew that the emperor would take it seriously without checking, and was crazy enough to believe that the original body's kindness to him was fake and could not be trusted at the critical moment, so he directly ordered people to guard the quiet room and not allow anyone else to enter or leave. He even said that she could only return to Renshou Palace when she thought about giving up on letting Miss Ye become the queen, and then he would allow the palace servants familiar to her to go back.

This was the emperor's original intention as well as the instigation of Empress Dowager Li. The original body was put in a state of anger and could not back down. Ye Zhiqiu did not care about his face. After all, she was the empress dowager. It did not matter whether she had face or not. What mattered most was getting benefits.

The Empress Dowager Li and the Emperor were rude to her, but she responded directly. She was the Empress Dowager, so why should she endure it? Her brothers from her natal family were not her brothers from the same mother. She was the legitimate daughter of a second wife, and her mother had died of dystocia a long time ago. She was not close to the Ye family.

He has no parents, no children, and his brothers and sisters are from different mothers. It can be said that his original body has no weaknesses, and his life is not good because he is too good-tempered.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but she is not a gentleman, and she must take revenge on the same day.
