Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

The emperor was still waiting for good news from An Dahai, but when he heard that the two Empress Dowagers agreed, he was dumbfounded.

The King of Jin didn't care what his mood was. He insisted on waiting at such an old age, hoping to get the title while the iron was hot. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next one.

The Empress Dowager agreed, and the Emperor did not object. Let's see who dares to object. This matter is not a major event in the previous dynasty. As long as the emperor is willing to write an imperial edict, it will be fine. However, all imperial edicts must be written by the Hanlin Academy and reviewed by the Prime Minister before they can be issued.

Before the prime minister got the order, the Hanlin Academy was already unhappy. How could someone from another family be made a princess? There was no precedent for this. In order to get the imperial edict, the King of Jin just waited, and when he saw someone was blind and trying to stir up trouble, he immediately jumped out and scolded them.

"So what if there is no precedent? His Majesty agrees, the Queen Mother agrees, so we don't need your consent. It's up to you to write it or not. If you don't want to, I will write it myself." According to convention, imperial edicts are written by the Hanlin Academy, but no one stipulates that other people cannot write them. As long as the imperial seal is stamped on it, it's fine.

The Hanlin Academy is full of old-fashioned people. They are not afraid of Prince Jin, the powerful uncle of the emperor. To them, integrity is more important. If this imperial edict is spread out, scholars all over the world will laugh at them for fawning on their superiors. How can they do this?

For a scholar, a good reputation is the most important thing. If the reputation is bad, several generations of the family will be affected, so it doesn't matter if he is not qualified to be an official.

The King of Jin didn't care about Qingliu's thoughts. If he didn't write, he would write it himself. His handwriting was not bad, and it was not embarrassing to use it to write imperial edicts. An Dahai, who was following behind, had a headache. What kind of job did the emperor find for him? It was not easy for him to be the chief eunuch. He was not as powerful as Liu, the chief eunuch of Renshou Palace.

The Prince of Jin quickly wrote it and took it to the Prime Minister for review. Only after this review could he stamp it.

The prime minister received the news one step ahead of time. He wanted to run, but he was too slow and was still caught by the King of Jin. He didn't want to agree to this. The scholars in the Hanlin Academy need reputation, and he needs reputation even more at his age. Without a good reputation, he will only be punished when the emperor takes power.

With a good reputation to protect him, the emperor had to consider the opinions of scholars in the world if he wanted to punish him. He and the King of Jin were old friends and old rivals, so he didn't mind telling the truth to the King of Jin. He would not admit it after leaving this door, and he was not afraid that the King of Jin would fabricate his reputation outside.

The King of Jin knew that the Prime Minister would not agree easily, but fortunately he was prepared: "Why not? At worst, I can ask the girl with a different surname to change her surname. Having my surname doesn't make her a stranger, right?"

The prime minister still disagreed, and he wanted to reason with him, but the King of Jin was impatient to listen. The old man was very annoying, and if he couldn't change his surname, don't blame him for being rude. He winked at his men, and they raised their hands and knocked the prime minister unconscious.

An Dahai was stunned. This was okay.

The King of Jin blew his beard and glared. If there was anything wrong, he would let the Prime Minister review it. If he knocked someone unconscious, he would use the Prime Minister's hand to stamp it and it would also be considered passed. Anyone who wanted to be dissatisfied could learn from him, and he had no objection at all.

An Dahai murmured in his heart, who would dare to learn? Who would have the guts to knock the prime minister unconscious? I'm afraid even the emperor wouldn't dare.

The emperor had never expected that the Prince of Jin would have such means. He could not help but sigh that it was fortunate that the Prince of Jin had no son. If he had a son, he would have lost his throne. Fortunately, fortunately, he only wanted the title of Princess, so he gave it to him.

The Prince of Jin stroked his beard and thought to himself, it would have been better if it had been done earlier. They had to make a fuss before they gave it to him. None of them were good. As he wished, he got the imperial edict. He didn't want to stay in the palace anymore. He kept his promise to the emperor. The next day, he submitted a memorial to request that Liu be made the empress.

The prime minister was so angry at home that he yelled, "You bastard!"

The servants in the house were so scared that they hid far away, not knowing whether the prime minister was scolding the Prince of Jin or the emperor.

The emperor was very happy with the King of Jin's advice, and thought that it was not too bad to promise a princess title. Originally, everyone was against him making Liu the queen, but now Renshou Palace and the King of Jin agreed, and he only needed to convince his mother to rule smoothly.

Li said she disagreed with everything, but the emperor was good at coaxing people, so she tricked Li Liuniang into finding Li and willing to humble herself and become a concubine.

"No, your last name is Li, why are you worse than that bitch Liu?" Li disliked Liu not only because of her ordinary background, but also because of Concubine Liu.

When the late emperor was alive, Concubine Liu had been vying for favor a lot, but in the end her son wanted to marry the niece of her rival. What a miserable son this was. She only regretted that she had not given birth to more sons. If she had other choices, she would have given up this son long ago.

The emperor was also unhappy. His own mother was disobedient, and he really had no way to deal with it. An Dahai saw that the emperor was in a bad mood and gave him advice, handing the matter over to the Liu family. If their family wanted to have a queen, they couldn't just do nothing.

Miss Liu had not handled the Renshou Palace incident well before. She left the palace and hid in a farm in the suburbs after being frightened by the empress dowager. She did not even have the courage to see His Majesty. When this was mentioned, the emperor's mood became worse, but he comforted himself that the Liu family was a small family and it was normal for them to be timid.

He chose the Liu family because they were timid and didn't have any smart people, so they would be easy to control in the future. If he really picked a powerful one, it would be difficult for him to deal with them after he took power. If the prince was really born in the queen's belly, it would be another prominent foreign relative, which might be more powerful than the current Cheng En Gong Ye family.

The head of the Liu family was so worried when he received the emperor's message that he didn't know what to do. His daughter was bullied by the queen mother, and the emperor didn't help her. He even despised his daughter for being useless. He wanted his daughter to enter the palace, but he didn't want to gamble with the lives of his entire family. Unfortunately, it was already this time, and it was difficult for him to get off the boat, so he could only face the challenge.

He has no ability, and his daughter is fine, but fortunately there is a capable sister in the palace, so she can throw the problem to her to solve. When Concubine Liu received the letter from her brother, she was furious again, but after calming down, she had to find a way to help.

What could she do? She couldn't write two characters for "Liu" with one stroke. Her family and she would rise and fall together. The late emperor was gone, and the concubines in the harem had no place to compete for favors, and there was no need to compete anymore. She thought she could live a retired life, but her daughter was still young.

The princess's marriage is controlled by the emperor and the empress dowager. She has already offended the empress dowager, so she cannot give up on the emperor. Otherwise, the empress dowager will send her daughter to marry one day, which will be the end of her life.

With the idea of ​​saving herself, Concubine Liu tried hard to think of a solution. As one of the winners of the previous palace fight, Concubine Liu was still very smart. The reason why Li disagreed was very simple. She just wanted her niece Li Liuniang to become the queen. If she destroyed Li Liuniang's hope of becoming the queen, the problem would be solved.

If you can't solve the problem, solve the one who created it. Concubine Liu understood this very well. She didn't intend to kill Li Liuniang, just slightly disfigure her. There has never been an ugly queen in the past dynasties. No matter how powerful Li was, she couldn't send an ugly woman to the throne of the queen.
