The two brothers have been unable to be promoted and are even in danger of being benched. No matter how hard I tried in the past few years, my two brothers were always transferred back and forth in their original positions. Even the eldest brother has not even gained any real power, even if he is not on the bench, he is almost there. These circumstances all indicate that his family has begun to be ignored in front of the emperor.
Even now, Concubine De doesn't know what kind of consequences her family will face once her father, who is currently just lingering on his last breath, dies, especially since the one who is in power right now is that bitch. Is it really like what the eldest brother said, that the family has become too prosperous in recent years, and its influence among civil servants has aroused the emperor's taboo?
What worries Concubine De the most now is whether the things she did in Zhengzhou were investigated by Huang Qiong. What she worries about is how Huang Qiong will target her family once those things are found out. Concubine De knew very well that her success in the palace had a lot to do with the full strength of her family.
Without the support of her family, she doesn't know whether she would be where she is today. Therefore, not only for herself, but also for her natal family, she must fight for this throne for her son to the end. Thinking of this, Concubine De waved her hand to King Song and said, "What I said today, you go back and think about it carefully. When something happens, discuss it with your uncle more often and listen to his opinions."
"He is just a nephew like you. His bones are broken but his tendons are still attached. If he doesn't help you, who else can he help? Besides, with your grandfather's current situation, who knows what will happen one day. From now on, their family's future will be very different. They are still counting on you, and we will suffer both losses and prosperity with you. If you fail, will they be able to survive?"
"Your grandpa is here, and your father can still cherish the old friendship. Once your grandpa is gone, besides you, who else can he count on? If so, he will not sit on the bench for so many years. Sheng Don’t your uncles understand the truth that extreme things will inevitably lead to decline? So you have to remember that there is nothing wrong with listening to what your uncles say.”
Looking at King Song who was stunned by her words, Concubine De shook her head and stopped her scolding. How can I not know what kind of virtue the son who crawled out of my belly has? Those who have been pampered by him over the years have already developed the habit of being arrogant and arrogant. Except for himself, the rest of the brothers didn't care.
Not to mention the other kings who were concubines with him, but whose mothers and concubines had lower status than him. Even the fourth son who was born in the middle palace, in fact, he looked down upon in his heart. Although he has been under strong pressure from himself in these years, he is only respectful on the surface, but in fact he looks down upon him in his heart. And after that bitch came out of the cold palace, he even ignored him.
Of course, he has to be the main reason for developing this character. Over the years, have I really paid attention to the queen who came from a small family? But now that the character has been developed, it is impossible to change it. It would be difficult for him to calm down when he was left behind that bitch whom he had always looked down upon.
What Concubine De knew better was that the reason why that bitch was hated so much by her son was not only because the battle for the new crown prince was already at a disadvantage before it even started. The bitch he had always looked down on was now getting more and more attention from the emperor, but he was left alone. More reasons include the princess of Guilin County Prince's Mansion.
My own son has always been astonished after meeting the princess by chance. After learning that he had entrusted his eldest brother to propose marriage to the Guilin Princess in private, he regarded the Princess as his forbidden wife. Even if Wen De Palace was verbally insulted, he never thought of giving up. The princess who looked down on him now was so close to the person he looked down upon.
Presumably, he was going crazy with jealousy right now. He failed to win favor in front of the emperor, and his beloved woman was betrothed to his enemy? How could his arrogant son calm down? My eldest brother must have said this intentionally after seeing this. Concubine De didn't believe that her eldest brother, who was known as a wise man in the family, was really helpless?
Thinking of this, Concubine De said: "Your uncle said that if that bitch really comes into power in the next year and asks you to work for him on a certain errand, this is the way to seek the country. Don't you always complain, your father Doesn't the emperor give you a chance to show off? Since he let that bitch enter the palace to govern this time, at least it will appear to be a bowl of water. Just do as your uncle said, and I will go to your father to tell you."
"What you need most now is to make achievements. Not only to show your father, but also to the people of the world. You are taking this opportunity to build relationships with important officials in the court. Today is different from the past. You need to change your temper and bow your head when you should bow your head. A man can bend and stretch, not to mention that your grandpa and I are not dead yet, how dare that bitch really dare to humiliate you?"
After Concubine De said these words, King Song said with some reluctance: "That's the truth, but my son is a little unwilling to listen to that bastard. I really don't know who that bastard is. That's good there, why does the father only have eyes for him? No matter how his son behaves, he can't get into the eyes of the father. The father treats one favorably and favors the other, so what's the point of going or not?"
"Besides, when the important officials in the court see my father, they are like mice seeing a cat. They don't even dare to express their anger. If you put your hope in them, isn't it just asking for fish in a tree? Since your son left the palace, these guys have How many benefits have you received from you before and after? But when they were asked to come forward, one withdrew faster than the other."
"That bitch, when you massacred those so-called rebellious officials in Zhengzhou. How much effort did you put in, but except for the two people involved, who of those old bastards from the three provinces and six departments came to the forefront? Father, if you just stay in the middle of the attack, then None of them made a sound. I tried my best to read some of their excerpts, and they were all written with ease, not as important as those written by the imperial students in the Imperial College."
"Not to mention anything else, the father of Minister Youcheng celebrated his eightieth birthday last autumn this year. Just give him one of the birthday stars and one of Ruyi carved from Hetian jade. That box of East beads as big as longan is even more valuable and worthy of a fortune. It's called a rare treasure. Not to mention, the son later gave me twelve gold and silver coins, one hundred ingots each. But when I impeached that bitch, he didn't even fart."
"Why are you trying to win over people like this? Now that my son has not yet become a vassal, he can't do anything under the eyes of his father. His financial resources are far from being comparable to those of his brothers who have already been vassal. Most of their income comes from just With the few Zhuangzi gifted by the father, and the shops opened in the names of several cousins. Now that the population of my son's house is increasing day by day, there is not enough income left in a year. "
"The two hundred ingots of gold and silver are already in debt. If my cousin hadn't gotten some of the money and silk from Mizhou, my son wouldn't know what to do now. Now my cousin has not only lost his official position, but has also been locked up by that bitch. Take it to the capital. My second uncle’s third cousin has always wanted to be released abroad, but my father still won’t say anything about it. Even if my son wants to follow the old path, he can’t."
"Those scumbag officials can't receive money and see no real benefits. Who can do things for you? We still can't get involved in the official department. Even if we want to put a few fat people in, we can't even make some money. Come on. Now when that bitch is in the limelight, those officials won’t be in the limelight. I really don’t know what they are afraid of."
"That bitch was able to kill more than a hundred officials, clerks, and scholars in Zhengzhou. How could he kill all the officials and scholars all over the world? Just look at their appearance. Even if the father is really gone, my son may not speak for us if he only sees those bastard officials."
Concubine De seemed very impatient when King Song complained. She was a little confused. She had already made it clear enough by talking about it here, but why could this son not listen to what others said. Concubine De was very irritated and lost interest in continuing the conversation. He waved his hand and said, "Why don't I know what you said? But there are some things that I know will have no results, so I still have to do them."
"What your father hates most is that the prince colludes with the courtiers. They take advantage of us, which is equivalent to having a handle in our hands. At the critical moment, there are some things that cannot be said without saying anything. As for you? Don’t you know how bad that bitch is? If you don’t say anything else, you are far inferior to just one word of ruthlessness."
"Not to mention anything else, he killed more than a hundred officials, clerks, and scholars in Zhengzhou in one go. How could you do the same thing? In order to win your father's favor, he dared to kiss you at Hulao Pass You braved arrows and went into battle to kill the enemy. You just went to see King Jing alone and killed two military attaches with your own hands. Do you have the courage? If nothing else, you are too far behind in terms of ruthlessness. "
"You don't even want to think about the reason why that bitch rose so fast? What kind of person is your father? After being married for so many years, I at least know it. He is definitely not that kind, relying on You can fool people in the past just by playing tricks. We, the two of us, were a little too contemptuous of that bitch in the past, which is why we let him get to where he is today."
"From now on, you will do what your uncle says. As for the money, your uncles and I will find a way, so don't worry about it. You should also buy less singers and dancers, and the money will be enough." You’ve saved everything, haven’t you? Look at how many singers you have in your house right now? How old are you and you have so many women around you?”
"There are so many women. Let's not talk about how much you spent to buy them. How much do you need to support them every year? Spend more money where you should spend it, and focus on thinking about what you should do. If you still If you think about the throne, just listen to me and your uncle. I'm a little tired after talking to you so much today. I have some things to think about again, so you can go back first."
"Also, you have been in the palace too frequently during this period. There is nothing going on during this period. You should not enter the palace again, so as to save people from gossiping. Some people have nothing to do and their eyes are staring here and there. You should be careful. Be careful. You want to be a prince or an emperor, but some people still want to be a queen. Right now, the position is vacant. As long as it is not decided, there will be people who will not give up."
"During this period, you are not allowed to go out and do anything. Just stay in the house and think carefully about that bitch's performance since leaving the palace. He can get it in less than a year after leaving the palace. There is something extraordinary about your father's attention and favor. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. If you don't even know who your opponent is, how can you defeat him?"
King Song disapproved of Concubine De's request to let him go to the palace less often in the following days: "In the past few years when that sick man was seriously ill, you have been in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Although you are not the queen yet, you are more powerful than the queen." What else is missing? All it's missing is a queen's name. Anyone who dares to miss you can just find an excuse to kill him, so why bother asking for trouble like this?"
