This master is fake and cold

What role did Xishi play in this?

Chang Le was thinking about it, but heard the Empress Dowager say: "Recently the third child has also returned to Beijing, you brothers and sisters should find a time to get together."

Have a good time together?

It took Chang Le a moment to react, Yan Wang Su He has always been a precocious image in the eyes of his father.But they have been together for more than ten years, how can they fail to see his true character.Not to mention cruelty and tyranny, he is the most vengeful person.

Back then, the royal father fostered Su He under the name of her queen mother, Empress Qi. At that time, her queen mother raised him with all her heart, treated him as her own, and spent the same amount of food and clothing as her own daughter Changle. Never slack off.But it was only because Changle gave more birthday gifts than him on Emperor Jing’s Longevity Festival and won the emperor’s compliments. Su He humiliated the queen in front of all the envoys from neighboring countries, calling her a vicious woman and a vicious woman. , Forcibly portrayed the queen as a fool who only knows how to serve people in Israel, and is ambitious and delusional to intervene in politics in the harem.This shows his true nature.

From then on, until the King of Yan named the king and opened the mansion, he never took the initiative to visit the Queen's Luanfeng Palace.Chang Le couldn't figure it out, how could someone be so ruthless, and he never seemed to care about the mother-child friendship for more than ten years.And let them fully understand his origin, just because Changle's gift has received a few more compliments from the emperor than his gift.That's all.

Su He's actions on the Longevity Festival undoubtedly threw the face of the Daqing Dynasty on the ground and stepped on it a few times.The emperor was furious, and a good Wanshou Festival ended in a hurry, but the emperor had always trusted his son, thinking that his occasional gaffe this time was because he stayed by the queen's side all the time. Gossip, can't help but think a little more.Therefore, even though Su He did such unreliable things, the emperor only punished him for three months of confinement. After the confinement period expired, the emperor decreed that Su He be the king of Yan and the land of Yanzhou.

Yanzhou has always been the most affluent area in the Daqing Dynasty except Gyeonggi. The tax revenue in the fief alone can bring countless incomes to Su He every year.And what is this wealth used for?Probably only the emperor would feel that these silvers would provide his beloved son with a prosperous life and make him have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

But in fact, don't Su He need money to train dark guards and dead soldiers?Doesn't he need money to raise private soldiers?Changle's second elder brother Ding Wang Su Yong's strategy is unparalleled. The key to Su He's ability to compete with him for so long is his countless people.When any assassination can be easily resolved, and no matter how good the brain is, it is no better than a big fist, Su Yong can only hold back his ambition, dormant quietly, waiting for an opportunity to give Su He a fatal blow——

These things are well known in the palace. The Empress Dowager has been in charge of the harem for decades. Changle is almost certain that her eyeliner is much more than that of the real master of the palace and the emperor. It is impossible for her not to know about these grievances.

The life of the queen mother is a legend. She has seen the women in the harem fighting each other for power and using all kinds of dirty means; she also discussed political affairs with the former Confucian scholars; After suppressing the Eight Kings' Rebellion, she will also shed all her edge for a man, bear children for him, and become one of the most ordinary women among the thousands of ordinary women in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that the road she has traveled is more salt than Chang Le has eaten.Even if their brother and sister's little actions could be hidden from the emperor and the queen, they would definitely not be able to hide from this woman who has experienced countless changes.Her vision is far away, and she has a big pattern in her chest. She is different from ordinary old women in big families who only know how to preside over middle-income families and raise children and grandchildren. Her knowledge determines the direction she looks at problems. Her experience Determines her means of solving the problem.

People like her don't talk nonsense.Changle understood this truth, so he thought more about it.

"Aijia is old and useless. No one will listen to Aijia's words now, and Aijia can no longer protect what she wants to protect," the Queen Mother's voice was very soft, although her eyes remained the same as before. It's sharp, but the inexplicable tiredness in the voice makes people listen, and the bottom of my heart can't help but feel a little sour.Her majestic voice continued: "People say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so Changle, Aijia thought, should Aijia let go?"

Chang Le pressed his forehead gently into the Queen Mother's palm, and said: "Grandmother, don't say that, you are an elder, who would dare to disobey what you say? If anyone dares to disobey you, I will Tell father, let father take the second brother and third brother, and beat them all away. No matter what the emperor's grandmother decides, Changle will support you."

Chang Le didn't look up, so he naturally missed the empress dowager's dazed look, and the decisive decision that seemed to be made suddenly afterwards.

The old servant standing in the corner of the hall whose body was almost integrated into the darkness, Chang Le hadn't seen it, seemed to raise his head, trying to stop the general hesitant to speak.However, seeing his master's exhausted expression that he couldn't hide, he finally couldn't hold back a low sigh in his heart, and lowered his head deeply.

"The palace is full of smog, and Ai's family looks upset. These few days, Ai's family will find an opportunity to leave the palace, and it can be regarded as going out to relax and hide in peace." She said, beyond Chang Le's expectation, she He touched Chang Le's head affectionately: "At that time, Ai's family will bring ten 34. These two boys are still young, so they can be regarded as accompanying Ai's family. Otherwise, an old woman in Ai's family, I don't know how lonely it must be."

The thirteenth prince, Su Jing, and the fourteenth prince, Su Zhe, are both at the age of twelve, and they are the two youngest children of Emperor Jing.The two kings were fighting, and if Su He, the king of Yan, was the superior, with Su He's temperament, the brothers and sisters around him would definitely be cut off.Maybe the situation would be better if Ding Wang Su Yong came to power, but the emperor was so harsh to their mother and son, there is no guarantee that he would not put this account on his brothers.Changle understands clearly, the queen mother wants to save seeds for the royal family by doing this!

When the situation was still stalemate, there was already a person standing beside him, who made the wisest choice as the calmest bystander.At a time like this, both sides are evenly matched, and they put all their attention on each other—and perhaps Changle—it is much easier for the Queen Mother to take the two little guys out.If the balance of victory and defeat tilts after a while, no matter who has the upper hand, someone will focus on the aftermath.At that time, Thirteen and Fourteen, who were young and ambitious but unable to protect themselves, were almost certain to die.

Changle figured all this out, stared blankly at the queen mother, not knowing what to say, but the queen mother suddenly said something that seemed irrelevant: "Changle, do you know that Emperor Taixuan is still safe?" When I was here, I favored the eldest son, and Fang Manyue became the crown prince and entered the middle palace. Your father was very angry because of this, and cried to me many times. Because Emperor Taixuan only had his eldest son in his eyes, and the rest No matter how good the son's political achievements are, he can't match the crown prince's words: Father's administration is hard, the son is worried about his father's health, and I hope his father will put his health first."

Emperor Taixuan was the man for whom the Queen Mother gave up all honor, her husband, and the father of Emperor Jing.

Chang Le didn't understand why the Empress Dowager mentioned this, she asked aloud, but the Empress Dowager looked disappointed and didn't answer for a long time.When I speak again.But changed the subject again: "Changle, you are here today for the palace banquet tonight, right?"

Among the series of questions, there is no connection that can be connected, so Chang Le didn't understand, so: "Why do you even know about this?"

This matter was done in secret, after all, out of concern for the face and reputation of the youngest daughter's family, she did not make it public.The Empress Dowager declared to the outside world that she was dedicated to Buddha and did not care about worldly affairs. Although Changle's question was a bit rude, it contained a certain amount of temptation: if the Empress Dowager said that she had found someone to find out about it, it meant that she was actually the real master of the harem. Any trouble could not escape her eyes and ears, and worshiping the Buddha was just an excuse to cover up.In fact, this point is already very clear. If she really broke her own arm, then the queen mother would not be the queen mother.

Next is the purpose of Changle. If the queen mother said that she deliberately inquired about this matter, then why did she pay so much attention to Changle?Changle can also follow the clues to find out the Queen Mother's intentions.

But seeing the empress dowager's forgiving smile, Chang Le knew that his thoughts were clearly revealed in front of her, and his face couldn't help but blush a little.The queen mother didn't break her little thought: "The emperor also discussed with me, this matter is approved by the Ai family."

Hearing this, the emotional fluctuations on Chang Le's face faded little by little, she pursed her lips tightly, her face turned pale.After a long time, I asked in a low voice: "Do you also think that I am delusional?"

Suddenly she remembered that not long ago, she had asked this question to another person.But how did that person answer...

The queen mother's voice sounded in her ears: "If you want to fight, it's because you have the courage. If you can get it, it's your ability. If you fail, you will naturally have to bear the consequences of failure. Aijia will not stop you Any move. Why can't a woman trample a man under her feet? You thought about it, Aijia thought about it when she was young. But in the end Aijia compromised, because there was a person in Aijia's heart, and Aijia wanted to have children for him Girl, Aijia can't let him go."

When she said this, the no longer young queen mother put her hands on her chest, showing a shy smile like a little girl: "It's really embarrassing to say such things in front of a junior like you... But the Ai family wants you to understand, everyone Aijia is willing to give up everything for him, but you have to think about it, is it possible for you to meet such a person in the future, and you are willing to give up all your ambitions for him? Make such a sacrifice?"

"On the other hand, even if the Ai family supports you and is willing to push you to that position against the public opinion of the world, how can you compete with them? They have a strong mother clan, do you have one? Your mother is Queen, every word and deed of her will be strictly demanded. Your family members are Qingliu nobles who accept orthodox Confucianism. resistance."
