Chapter 197 Queen Mother's Year

The late emperor had fifteen sons, all of whom were of appropriate age, but he did not leave any will to indicate which prince would inherit the throne.

The original owner was the emperor's last empress and also the youngest, only eighteen years old.

Although the original owner's words were not counted, his father was the prime minister, his elder sister was the original queen, and the last person the emperor saw before his death was the original owner. This meant that whoever the original owner supported would become the emperor.

In her previous life, the original owner chose her eldest sister's adopted son Qin Du as the emperor, thinking that Qin Du would treat her and her family well because of her eldest sister and her recommendation.

Qin Du also promised that after he ascended the throne, he would make the original owner's concubine sister the queen, but the concubine plotted against her and lost the baby in her belly.

When Qin Du gained a firm foothold, he first attacked the Zhang family. Except for the original owner, the queen mother, all the other members of the Zhang family were exiled to Ningguta by Qin Du and died of illness on the way.

The original owner was not much better off than them. He was locked up in the royal temple and tortured by Qin Du's sweetheart Bai Yueguang.

“Empress, the last person the Emperor saw was you. Which prince does the Emperor prefer to ascend the throne?” At the court, all officials were dressed in plain white with white silk hanging around them, looking solemn and dignified, but the woman standing on the high platform said nothing.

Qin Du also clenched his fists nervously. In order to gain the support of the Prime Minister's Office, he had no choice but to fake the death of his beloved wife, leaving the throne vacant to marry the Prime Minister's youngest concubine's daughter.

If every link is well laid, he has an 80% chance of becoming the next emperor.

Zhang Shan glanced back and forth among the princes. The princes had all grown up and had their own teams. Even if she could give birth, she could not compete with more than a dozen adult men and the forces behind them.

Therefore, the final hope can only be placed on these princes.

The eldest prince is 28 years old, and the youngest is 18 years old. If the previous queen had not been jealous and did not want more women to give birth to the emperor's children, and had not given the emperor a sterilizing drug, there would be even more princes now.

"Miss?"

Zhang Shan looked at the original owner's father, Prime Minister Zhang Zhikong. His hair was gray and his eyes were cloudy, but that did not hinder his ambition.

"The Emperor's preference is..."

Although all the princes had a premonition that Zhang Shan would have selfish motives and choose the Second Prince Qin Du, who was closer to them, they couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

What if the emperor chooses them?

Zhang Shan looked at Qin Du, and when Qin Du blushed with excitement, she said something unexpected.

"It's the fifteenth prince Qin Huai."

The fifteenth prince was shocked. His father actually chose him?

"impossible!"

The most excited person was Qin Du. "How could the emperor choose Qin Huai? He is neither the eldest nor the heir. What right does he have?"

Now it was Qin Huai's turn to be unhappy, "Why can't it be me? When my father was alive, he loved me the most!"

Unlike his ambitious brothers, Qin Huai was a little inexperienced. Because he lost his mother at a young age and was the youngest son, Qin Huai received more favor from the emperor.

No one disagrees with this.

"But Qin Huai is so young, why should he pass by us brothers? Don't say I disagree, big brother, you don't want to either, right?"

The eldest prince was naturally unhappy, but if he had to choose between the second son and the fifteenth son, he would naturally choose the fifteenth son who shared the same blood with him.

As everyone knows, the emperor likes sisters. The biological mothers of the eldest prince and the fifteenth prince are sisters, just like the original owner and the Empress Yuan.

Therefore, the princes did not all fight alone, but formed a united party. However, most of their connections were blood ties, and they were cousins ​​within the third generation of kinship.

But Qin Du was different. His biological mother was a maidservant of Empress Yuan. She betrayed Empress Yuan and gave birth to a replacement prince. Later, she died of heavy bleeding. Qin Du was raised by Empress Yuan and called himself a half-legitimate son.

"This is the Emperor's intention. It is not something that can be questioned just because Prince Du is unwilling to admit it."

Zhang Shan had a cold widow's face, which made people inexplicably scared, especially Prime Minister Zhang. No matter how many times he tried to signal her, his daughter pretended not to see.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, he couldn't remind his daughter to cheat and choose Qin Du as her adopted grandson.

Qin Du also winked at Prime Minister Zhang, but Zhang Shan ignored him and Prime Minister Zhang did not dare to respond to Qin Du.

The words have been spoken, can they be taken back?

Starting with the Grand Prince, he saluted Qin Huai, "Your Highness pays homage to the new Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

Qin Du: "Brother!"

The Great Prince has expressed his stance, and the Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Prince, who belong to the Great Prince's camp, have also expressed their views.

Originally, Fifteen was in their camp, so it was better for Fifteen to ascend the throne than for others.

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Zhang had no choice but to accept his fate and knelt down to kowtow to the new emperor.

Qin Huai was so excited. He became the emperor, the most powerful person in the country. Doesn't that mean he can do whatever he wants?

First, he has to...

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Shan gave him a look, and Qin Huai's expression instantly turned serious.

"Is Prince Du going to rebel?"

Qin Du knelt down unwillingly. Once this knee was bent, it would be for life, so Qin Du clenched his fist unwillingly. He could not admit defeat.

"I pay my respects to the new emperor."

Qin Huai then showed a satisfied smile.

The grand court meeting ended just like that. As soon as Zhang Shan arrived at Fengzao Palace, she heard Prime Minister Zhang asking for a meeting. She asked the palace maid to invite Prime Minister Zhang in.

Prime Minister Zhang was too polite to even ask, "Didn't we agree on this before? Push Qin Du to the throne, let your sister become the queen, and the prince she gave birth to would be the crown prince. Why are you going back on your word at the last minute?"

Breaking the contract at the last minute was not a gentleman's act, and it made Prime Minister Zhang lose face, especially the look in Qin Du's eyes when he left, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Father only knows how to be a gentleman himself, but forgets that others are not gentlemen. Father probably doesn't know that Qin Du is ambitious and wants to cross the river and destroy the bridge. His princess is not dead, but is protected by him in the manor in the western suburbs, waiting to be taken back after he ascends the throne."

"He dares!" Prime Minister Zhang was so angry that his face turned red.

"If you don't believe me, father, you can send someone to look for me."

As Prime Minister Zhang turned to leave, Zhang Shan reminded him, "Father, please remember that Princess Du is dead."

A dead person should act like a dead person. Don't show off by pretending to be a living person.

In the previous life, it was Qin Du who was blinded by greed and sent the girl to be raised on the farm. However, Yang Xiaoxian only remembered that it was the Zhang family who forced her to separate from her lover, snatch her position as princess, and make her suffer loneliness and pain on the farm.

Since she feels it is hard to be in Zhuangzi, let her come out and taste the real suffering in this era.

That night, Prime Minister Zhang sent people to tie up Yang Xiaoxian from the farm. When he saw that familiar face, Prime Minister Zhang wanted to slap himself twice.

If Zhang Shan hadn't reminded him, he would have really been fooled by this bastard.

"Since Princess Du is dead, Yang Xiaoxian can't stay in the capital."

Although he wanted to kill Yang Xiaoxian once and for all, Zhang Shan did not allow it and asked him to send Yang Xiaoxian to the south. There were constant disasters in the south, and Yang Xiaoxian was afraid that she would never come back.

"How dare you do this to me? I am Princess Du. When the prince ascends the throne, I will kill all your clans."

The nine clans are Prime Minister Zhang’s bottom line. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"You are such a rude commoner. Everyone knows that Princess Du has passed away, but you are not a lowly person and can pretend to be her. Come, cut her tendons in her hands and feet and beat her with twenty sticks."

"you dare!"

"Let go, let this princess go!"

Prime Minister Zhang was eating walnuts while listening to the accompaniment in the room until Yang Xiaoxian fainted.

"Send him away!"

When Zhang Nana heard that the new emperor was not Qin Du, she came to the study room angrily. Seeing Prime Minister Zhang sitting under a tree enjoying the breeze, she felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red. "Dad, didn't we agree that Prince Du would be the emperor and I would be the queen? Why don't you keep your word, Ninth Sister?"

"Prince Du cannot become the emperor, but you are still the queen. How can Daddy let you down?"

"No, I only want to be the Queen of Prince Du. I don't want to be anyone else's Queen. You should quickly ask Sister Nine to change her mind. I want Prince Du to be the Emperor."

"shut up!"

Prime Minister Zhang slapped Zhang Nana and said, "You are becoming more and more unruly. Wang Fu, take Miss Ten away."

The throne is not his, so how can he have the final say?

Of course, he hoped it was his.

It was the first time that Zhang Nana was beaten, and Prime Minister Zhang was so harsh on her that she burst into tears, "Dad, you actually hit me! I don't like you anymore!"

As the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Zhang, Zhang Nana was raised in the palm of his hand and had never suffered any grievances since she was a child. How could she bear this grievance and ran out of the Prime Minister's Mansion crying.

"Your Highness, my father beat me!" Zhang Nana threw herself into Qin Du's arms, crying.

But there was no more doting in Qin Du's eyes, only disgust and impatience.

Zhang Shan knew Zhang Nana's love-brained nature. She had been spoiled by others since she was a child, and had never seen the evil of human nature, so she was easily fooled.

So when Qin Du threw Zhang Nana to Jiangnan, Zhang Shan did not stop him.

"Mother, I can..."

Before Qin Huai could finish, Zhang Shan refused: "No, you can't!"

Suddenly, Qin Huai lost his temper and became depressed.

This is his only hobby. Now that he is the emperor, why can't he satisfy it?

Thinking of this, he finally steeled himself.

"Mother, I am the emperor, I can raise whatever I want!"

Zhang Shan looked at the puppy that was trying to circle the legs of her table and felt her temples throbbing. She wanted to hit the puppy.

She originally thought he was easy to control, but she didn't expect that she still underestimated Qin Huai's unreliability.

Since he ascended the throne, he moved all the kittens, puppies, hedgehogs, etc. in the mansion into the palace. Recently, he even wanted to transform one of the palaces in the harem into a zoo to feed his sons.

The consequence of Qin Huai's toughness was that Zhang Shan gave up and stopped helping him to revise memorials, so he had no time to bathe and comb the fur of the little animals.

In the end, she came back crying and begged Zhang Shan for help.

Obviously, the two are of similar age, but in front of Zhang Shan, Qin Huai lacks charisma and is frequently suppressed.

Zhang Nana was thrown into Jiangnan. Even though Zhang Shan secretly took care of her, she still suffered a lot. After another high fever, Zhang Nana was reborn.

Then, she returned to the capital, knelt at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in gorgeous clothes. Prime Minister Zhang thought that she had suffered a lot and her mind had changed.

But the first sentence he said made Prime Minister Zhang want to kill someone!

"Dad, I really love Prince Du. I beg you to grant my wish!"

Du Wang happened to pass by. During this time, he was causing trouble for Qin Huai and looking for the missing Yang Xiaoxian, so he had no time to pay attention to Zhang Nana.

I thought Zhang Nana would die in Jiangnan, but I didn't expect her to come back safe and sound.

"Your Majesty, Nana has been with you all this time, you can't abandon Nana!"

Zhang Nana thought that her disappearance had become known to everyone, so she had no choice but to let Qin Du take over. Amidst everyone's pointing fingers, Prime Minister Zhang gritted his teeth and had to go to the palace to ask for permission.

Zhang Shan felt that since Zhang Nana was determined not to turn back, she should help her. She would never stop others from committing suicide.

Zhang Nana married into the Duwang Mansion in a grand wedding, and Yang Xiaoxian, the Duwang Princess, officially became a thing of the past.

Yang Xiaoxian, who was far away in a brothel in Yangzhou, was so angry that she vomited blood when she heard that Qin Du had remarried the daughter of her enemy.

"Don't play dead, get up and work."

After the whip came down, Yang Xiaoxian dodged left and right, but still got hit hard.

She originally had a charming appearance and was the top prostitute in the brothel, but where there are people there are fights. Yang Xiaoxian was maliciously pushed into hot water, and her skin was burned and her face was disfigured.

Thus, she went from being the top girl to a low-ranking house slave, and later, because she contracted a dirty disease, she was driven to the toilet to wash the toilet.

Since Zhang Nana married Qin Du, she has never left the palace. When Zhang Shan thought she was imprisoned, Qin Du died of illness.

Zhang Nana, who has been reborn, has become a pervert. On the wedding night, she drugged Qin Du, then imprisoned and forced him to have sex with her. In the end, she went too far and killed Qin Du.

Zhang Shan said it was difficult to comment.

But now she has a new worry, that is, Qin Huai is unwilling to choose a concubine.

Zhang Shan thought it was no big deal, as it was not her turn to sit on the throne anyway. But the ministers had already complained to her, and she felt a headache.

When Zhang Shan thought Qin Huai would stay with those little animals for the rest of his life, something unexpected happened.

Zhang Shan's elder brother brought gifts to her from the south. Zhang Shan thought that her elder brother had understood her needs as a young widow, so she accepted the gifts with satisfaction and planned to enjoy them.

But the next day I woke up feeling Spartan.

I didn't know how shocked she was when she saw Qin Huai from the bed.

"Why are you here?"

"I...I..." Qin Huai also hesitated and felt too embarrassed to see anyone.

Zhang Shan rubbed her brows and drove Qin Huai out. Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not forget to pick up the two black and white balls from under the bed.

A month later, Zhang Shan met her eldest brother and asked, "Jiu Mei, do you like the gift I gave you?"

"What gift?" Zhang Shan just then remembered that she seemed to have never seen her elder brother's gift at all.

"It's the black and white bear. I asked someone to take it to your palace. Didn't you see it?"

Only then did Zhang Shan think of what Qin Huai was holding in his arms when he left.

"I like it, thank you, brother."

Zhang Shan kept smiling and went to the Qinzheng Hall, where she saw two pandas hanging on Qin Huai's legs, and Qin Huai was smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

Click——

"Mother... Queen Mother!"

There was no time to hide, Qin Huai was visibly panicked.

"The Emperor seems to be very idle!"

“Neither…nor!”

"How come these two pandas are exactly the same as the ones my brother gave me? They are so naughty that they ran to the emperor's palace to play. Since the emperor is busy, I will take them away first."

Then, Qin Huai watched Zhang Shan take the two panda cubs away.

In order to see the panda, Qin Huai went to the Cining Palace every day and shamelessly asked to pet the panda, but was rejected by Zhang Shan.

Then Qin Huai shamelessly told the story of that night, "I bought these two pandas with my innocence, you can't take them away!"

Zhang Shan was so angry that she laughed, "You came into my bed late at night, and you still think you are right?"

"I didn't mean it..." Qin Huai lowered his head guiltily.

Under Qin Huai's shameless formula, he finally got his wish and petted the panda.

Emperor Qin Huai did some strange things, but when he was in power, he did not kill loyal officials, nor did he kill his sister or brother. He just liked to raise some small animals, which was harmless.

There were no women in Qinhuai's harem, only small animals. From the beginning, he treated everyone equally, but later he favored only the second concubine, the panda, and his heart and eyes were filled with pandas.

Fortunately, he was not without offspring. The little prince was held in his arms and attended court as soon as he was born. He could help the emperor handle state affairs at the age of five, and ascended the throne at the age of fifteen and held the power of life and death over the country.

……

later generations.

The tomb of Emperor An Jing was excavated, and the burial objects in the main tomb chamber were not gold, silver, jewelry, concubines and beauties, but a pile of animal bones. Experts determined that these animals died of natural causes, and many of them had been dead for many years and were then moved and buried in the tomb chamber.

"He really is. I'm crying my eyes out. Emperor An Jing really loves his pets more than women. He even gave his pets titles..."

"To be honest, I also want to raise two giant pandas, but I don't know where to get them."

"I also think that I will be more generous than Emperor An Jing and make myself the empress, so as not to let my two beloved concubines be relegated to the position of noble concubines."

"Upstairs, have you considered the feelings of Emperor Changwu when you say this?"

This comment was quickly pushed up to the top, and it was obvious that Emperor Changwu had more fans.

"Everyone stop arguing, the Changwu Emperor show has started, everyone go watch it!"

About two hours later, this comment was pulled out again and criticized:

"It's a rumor, pure rumor! How could I, Emperor Changwu, be the son of Grand Empress Dowager Zhaoyi? This is bluffing, pure bluffing. Just wait for the lawyer's letter from the descendants of Emperor Changwu!"

A group of people boycotted the TV series, and it was stopped before the descendants of Emperor Changwu could report it.
