Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

“When the Emperor first ascended the throne, he had two regents. If the Emperor was wary of General Nian, how could he not be wary of the other?

Rather than waiting for the emperor to become intolerable, it is better to find a way out for yourself."

Our emperor is not only afraid of General Nian, he is afraid of all military generals.

After dealing with Nian Gengyao, he also dealt with many of the generals who followed him.

This also resulted in the later military generals either retiring to their hometowns or being afraid to step forward.

When Emperor Qianlong came to power, there was a situation where there were no generals available during the war on the front line. Helplessly, he killed countless people who retreated in the face of the enemy before he won the battle.

Nian Shilan was quite surprised by Shen Meizhuang's insights on state affairs.

She had never thought that Shen Meizhuang, who usually lived in the harem and seldom interacted with others, had such a clear understanding of political affairs. This made her take it more seriously.

Then he thought of the two regent ministers mentioned by Shen Meizhuang, and was suddenly shocked.

"Could it be that you are dealing with Lord Longkodo?"

Nian Shilan was shocked again and again today. Can you believe that a woman in the harem said she wanted to fight against the ministers of the court and might even overthrow them?

Shen Meizhuang neither admitted nor denied it, but continued the previous topic and said: "General Nian had just won a victory and was in high spirits. Naturally, he could not see that he was in the game.

You can write to your other brother, Nian Xiyao. I'm sure he will investigate and analyze the current situation from all sides. It will be up to you to decide what to do then."

Shen Meizhuang stood up, straightened her clothes, and said casually, "Please keep today's events confidential, Concubine Nian. Even if General Nian disagrees with my retirement, that's fine."

"It's just a matter of waiting for two more years." The last sentence was Shen Meizhuang's inner criticism.

After saying this, he turned around and left without caring how surprised Nian Shilan was or trying to explain her confusion.

When it comes to state affairs, she still believes in Nian Xiyao. After all, whether in the drama or in history, Nian Gengyao was sentenced to death by the emperor.

Not only was Nian Xiyao not affected, but he was highly valued by the emperor. It is not difficult to see that he understood the emperor's psychology and knew how to strike a balance.

If she wanted to deal with the empress dowager, she had to mention Longkodo, who helped Yinzhen ascend to the throne and had an affair with the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager had very little power left, but Longkodo alone was able to occupy half of the country and influence the court.

The emperor was both afraid of him and disgusted with him. Less than two years after dealing with Nian Gengyao, he could not wait to take action against Longkodo.

It’s not that she can’t wait, but she is still particularly afraid of the Queen Mother.

Although the emperor dealt with many bondservants, the empress dowager's power in the palace was greatly reduced.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In addition to the upper three banners, there are also the lower five banners and many small family banners.

With the title of Queen Mother, it is easy to train more people.

The bannermen controlled every aspect of the palace, so she had to be cautious.

After all, we should be on guard day and night, fearing that we might take a nap. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative.

Shen Meizhuang returned to Qixiang Palace, sat in the study for a while, and finally picked up a pen to write a letter.

The gist of the letter was to find someone to contact Longkodo's eldest son, Yue Xing'a, and to give him some resources to get him promoted, at least to the level where he could meet the emperor and submit memorials.

In addition, Shen Meizhuang sent someone to inform Xiao Shanzi to place people in Changchun Garden in advance.

There is not much she can do at the moment. At least she cannot act rashly until the Nian family makes any move.

She couldn't let the Queen Mother discover her secret plot. Now, the only thing she needed to do was to protect herself and the Sixth Prince.

If necessary, it doesn't matter if you are punished by the Queen Mother once or twice. In short, you must not catch the Queen Mother's eye.

After Shen Meizhuang left, Nian Shilan and Song Zhizhi also started talking quietly.

The first thing Nian Shilan wanted to do was to call Cao Qinmo over to give her some advice.

But, in the end, I still have to consider my family and my brother. This matter concerns the emperor's attitude, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Nian Shilan and Song Zhi were not very smart, and they came up with an extremely stupid idea, which was to provoke Zhen Huan.

They had tried to make things difficult for people before, such as copying palace rules and Buddhist scriptures, but they had little effect.

This time they used the most direct and most irritating method, which was humiliation.

Zhen Huan responded to Concubine Hua's summons, changed her clothes, and hurried to Yiku Palace.

When she entered the hall, there were no maids serving on either side, and without anyone notifying her, she walked into the hall.

However, the first thing she saw when she entered the room was that a piece of porcelain was broken on the ground. Zhen Huan walked forward cautiously.

At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the room, the same sound of porcelain breaking. Before she could react, the palace maids and eunuchs rushed in.

He pointed at Zhen Huan and threatened that she had broken the gift given by the emperor.

This really left her speechless. It was the crowd who first heard the sound of something heavy falling and then rushed in. Coincidentally, the broken objects were right at her feet, and there were no broken porcelain pieces in the room.

Nian Shilan just coughed twice in the room, and then she asked the maid to come forward and slap Zhen Huan ten times. She was also punished to make her kneel on the corridor of the palace for five hours.

Being slapped by a servant was a great humiliation, and he had to kneel with a red and swollen face on the busy palace road.

Anyone who saw it would know that Zhen Huan was very angry, and there was obvious hatred in her eyes.

Nian Shilan felt so excited that the blood in his body flowed freely because he could punish someone with just an excuse.

He drank the medicine without frowning, more happily than drinking alcohol, and drank it in one gulp.

Nian Shilan said complacently, "Songzhi, I see that the tables and chairs in the house are a bit old, so I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send more people to replace them for me. Remember, you must send more people."

Songzhi also smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely call many people and make sure to pass by Noble Lady Wan. If there is anyone who looks at you long enough, I will definitely reward him generously."

Nian Shilan smiled and nodded.

So, on this day, people came and went in the Yiku Palace.

Zhen Huan was kneeling outside the palace gate, and the visitor stared at her intently, even when he passed by, his eyes did not move away.

Zhen Huan was so ashamed that she felt embarrassed, but her back remained straight without any bend, as if this could show her pride and her stubbornness.

After kneeling for five hours, Zhen Huan's legs were not only numb and swollen, but even with someone's support, she could only move forward with difficulty. Moreover, she was only a noble lady and was not qualified to ride in a sedan chair.

In this stinging pain, I walked forward slowly step by step. Just when I was about to reach the small garden, I heard someone whispering in the rockery.
