Time flies so fast, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since Yan Huan's dethronement was published, although there were still people using various reasons to comment on Jin Qing's unreliability, no one has ever published a request for Zhang Chi's dethronement.
After all, they are just critics, not fools. The most they can do to force the emperor is to make him walk away in anger. The worst they can do is to be demoted. However, they will definitely leave a mark in the history books, and they may become famous throughout the ages.
But if you push the queen, you will be kicked to death by the queen. Then the history books will say that someone was kicked to death on the spot for insulting the queen. This kind of death will make you shudder when you think about it. It is so unworthy. They Let's continue to force the emperor!
Out of this thought, the ginseng and Jin Qing's folds became more and more painless. After all, it would be too false to say anything at all. It would be better to find some trivial things to enhance one's sense of existence.
The harem also became extremely harmonious because the empress only loved money and did not love people, and she had no heirs.
From the time of the palace banquet, Concubine Xian began to take the initiative to approach Jin Qing. Even if Jin Qing didn't want to see her, she would be shameless and sit in Jin Qing's palace every day.
After all, Concubine Xian was the first of the four concubines of the second rank, and Jin Qing's female officer couldn't drive people away when Jin Qing didn't say anything.
As time went by, Concubine Xian also found her way. Sometimes she came by herself, and sometimes she came with her children.
But every time before they came, Jin Qing would ask his female officer to hide all her treasures and food.
The Concubine Xian didn't care about this. After all, the Emperor had no intention of having a harem. The Queen could cover the sky with only one hand in the harem. Now, as long as the Queen could let a few of their mothers in, it would be enough to guide the direction of the palace.
At first, the other concubines sneered at Concubine Xian's attempt to fawn over the Queen. After all, the Empress did not compete for favors and did not like to talk to the Emperor. They did not know what Concubine Xian was trying to mark. Could it be that she wanted Concubine Xian to give it to them when they were sleeping? Is there a discount?
But soon everyone discovered the wisdom of Concubine Xian and their own stupidity, because as time passed, everyone was surprised to find that except for Concubine Xian's children, the children of other palace concubines were more or less plotted.
After all, the queen has no children, and these children have been in and out of the Sanqing Palace all year round. No one knows what the queen's attitude towards them is. If the queen goes crazy after taking action, then the giant who was kicked to death by the queen and the others will I haven’t forgotten it yet!
Because everyone had this mentality and were waiting for others to take action, these children were allowed to survive safely.
The palace concubines reacted with great regret, because they could no longer enter the Sanqing Palace. They could only watch the Xian Fei's children entering and exiting the Sanqing Palace every day, being carefully attended to by the female officials.
Jin Qing is not friendly to these children, but she doesn't hate them either. After all, she just wants to live in this palace until she grows old. After all, being a queen is so comfortable.
But the female officials around her had different ideas. After all, these children were all outstanding, and there was no doubt that they would be able to become princes in the future.
At that time, an emperor who is close to his mother-in-law will be much better than an emperor who is alienated from his mother-in-law!
And Concubine Xian was also a calculating and skillful woman. Coupled with the Queen's authority in the Emperor's heart, the female officials deeply felt that this matter might really be possible.
Out of this thought, they became even more devoted to Concubine Xian's children.
At the beginning, Concubine Xian just wanted to say thank you to Jin Qing, and she also had some sincere thoughts on making friends with Jin Qing.
But after seeing that Jin Qing didn't care about her overtures, Concubine Xian was once discouraged. It wasn't until she had a child that she visited Jin Qing's palace more frequently.
Because she found that every time she came out of Jin Qing Palace, the other concubines looked at her differently, with jealousy and even awe.
Concubine Xian's family background is not as prominent as Jin Qing's. Her father is a military attache or an old subordinate of General Bai.
However, the Dayi Dynasty valued civil service over military affairs. After General Bai forced the palace to break out, the military power in his father's hands was even less, and he only had a good name left.
Although she was the first of the four concubines, she knew mentally that the women in this palace did not take her seriously at all.
Although Concubine Xian once wanted to be a beloved concubine in the harem, the emperor was not interested in the harem, which made her life in the palace even more difficult.
Therefore, out of this mentality, Concubine Xian made up her mind to hold Jin Qing's thigh through her younger brother's matter. If Jin Qing is a tigress in the palace, then in order to be able to protect her child smoothly, , she is willing to be the fox waving the flag behind the tiger.
Concubine Xian's idea was right, because in addition to being timid, Zhang Chi also had new problems. He began to doubt his grown-up child.
In recent years, Jin Qing's trips out of the palace have become less and less, which has given Zhang Chi a chance to breathe.
But Zhang Chi still went to court day after day, handling government affairs diligently, for fear that someone with a bad mouth would lure Jin Qing out of the Sanqing Palace again.
The battle between Jin Qing and Hasen was still running through Zhang Chi's mind, and he would sometimes be frightened awake when he was sleeping or dreaming.
However, Zhang Chi has already tasted the benefits of power because he has had the power to control the life and death of others for too many days.
But at the same time, he also began to worry about whether his grown-up children would be supported to ascend to the throne like him, and then forced to become the Supreme Emperor, just like his father who died in depression. He hasn't forgotten it yet!
With this in mind, Zhang Chi began to provoke the relationship between these children, because the more chaotic the relationship between these children, the more fierce the fight, the more secure his throne will be, and the person who wins in the end will definitely be the most suitable to be the crown prince. people.
Just when Zhang Chi was stirring up trouble among his children, he received a report that the eldest prince, who was born to a good concubine, was engaging in a vitriol with the Taoists in his mansion.
Zhang Chi had been feeling physically weak and listless recently. When he heard this, he immediately became furious. He didn't even allow him to say a word of defense and directly ordered the eldest prince to be thrown into the sky prison.
It seemed that he actually planned to put the eldest prince to death directly.
When Concubine Xian's father heard about this, he led the ministers who supported the eldest prince into the palace overnight. He knelt before Zhang Chi for most of the night but could not make Zhang Chi change his mind.
Instead, Zhang Chi was more afraid of the eldest prince. He didn't know that his son had grown to the point where someone supported him. It seemed that this son had to be eliminated.
Otherwise, how can I live a stable life!
