Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

In three years, most people have habitually forgotten Empress Xie and the emperor favorites of the emperor's heirs.

It’s fine for King Wei. Two years ago, the child was sent away after the long-lived empress dowager in the royal family. Soon, the Yin family was in charge and married a lady of the Yin family. Still the same filial piety, but under the advice of a foreigner, he made it clear that he had no intention of being the crown prince.

King Yan and King Jin experienced initial surprise, stunned, and perplexed. Later, when they faced King Song, they were unexpectedly supported by the emperor and supported by courtiers. However, they could not get help from the queen, and they finally fell silent for some time.

King Yan was older and became a clan. After the clan, he was more diligent in inquiring about the emperor than King Wei. Xie Fenghuang secretly observed that he was still in the imperial capital under the banner of the adopted son of Zhonggong. Some people, spying on the news all the time, obviously did not give up completely.

It's just that there is no too drastic move.

Xie Fenghuang actually understands King Yan’s mood. This child has been very good at winking since he was a child. He may not have longed for that position. He just considered that he was just a child adopted by a foster mother, and the foster mother of King Jin was born underneath. The adoptive mother is still a good one, and he can't help but worry that if he blocks the way of King Jin, he will be disgusted and attacked by Xie Fenghuang.

In that case, it's fine if it succeeds. Once it fails, I'm afraid that I won't even have the chance to live as a vassal king.

In short, he is afraid of losing.

Xie Fenghuang told Chunjia privately about the child, just sighing: "The child is actually very smart, but he doesn't dare to let go of his hands and feet... It's a pity. It's also my fault. Normally, it seems too powerful, and a little bit it."

The emperor disagreed: "No matter how you suppress them, I don't know how much better than Ji's treatment of me back then. I have been suppressed for eight full years, and my heart is still there. He is under your hand, and you still spoil a lot. He can't let go of his hands and feet. Who can be blamed for this? I can only say that this child seems to be intelligent, but he is indecisive. Such a person is not suitable for being a leader in itself, but suitable for being a counselor. He is not decisive enough, and not cruel enough. , And don't dare to make a desperate move... he is not suitable."

The queen couldn't help but said: "It's a desperate move... the emperor is so reckless, isn't it good?"

"It depends on what's going on." Chunjia naturally has the most say in how to be a wise gentleman, and he will explain to the queen carefully at this moment, "The emperor's every move is very important, so naturally you can't bet easily, not to mention. Is it desperate? But if it's a critical juncture, if you don't bet, you just sit and wait for death or kill yourself. If you don't bet at this time, is it possible to wait for death honestly? When I launched the pro-government back then, why did I have full confidence? But I do not want to be so patient Go down, otherwise the heart will die, I'm afraid that Ji will really be grasped in this life."

This is also true.

Xie Fenghuang was a little anxious. King Qin, who was mediocre, was out early; King Wei didn't have that thought; King Yan didn't make it.

Now there is only one Jin Wang left.

As for King Zhen, he is too young.

There are several other princes among him and King Jin. What if there are any other princes here?

What if King Zhen is worse than King Jin?

It made Xie Fenghuang very angry, why are these children so unbelievable?

It simply failed her ingenuity!

She has recovered the irritability of the children teaching homework when they were young.

It's hard to remind the children without saying anything, but in my heart I want to hang them up and take them seventeen or eight times a day.

In these days, the empress's key observation object is King Jin.

To be honest, this prince may have been beaten by Xie Fenghuang too much when he was a child, and his natural style of painting is different from other princes...

The specific manifestation is that in the past few years, he has been firmly attached to the prince.

That's right, it's just sticking to the new prince, the original Song Wang.

Just... not only the empress and Wei Wangyan and others were confused, but even the prince mother and son felt speechless.

On the first day after the Song Dynasty returned to the Imperial Capital as a prince, the Jin prince greeted him affectionately and called "Prince Brother", always sticking to this elder brother.

Don't worry about whether others are willing or not when going in and out, just follow along anyway.

The emperor arranged for teachers and courtiers to assist the new East Palace, and he followed.

Those who didn't know thought that these people had to assist him together.

Because after all, he is the brother of the prince, and the queen is still aunt, the prince is not easy to rush, so he can only bite the bullet and let him go in and out like this.

Therefore, King Jin is very familiar with the East Palace now. When he arrives at the East Palace, he is almost as good as going home. He may not be so familiar with Qiongjiu Palace.

Had it not been for the prince and other female relatives, he would have liked to live in the East Palace to be with the prince!

Even the emperor couldn't help asking Xie Fenghuang in private: "What the **** do you want to do with this fifteenth year? Could it be that you don't think you can count on the left and right, and you just have a good relationship with the prince?"

"...The concubine doesn't feel like it." The queen pondered for a long time and said, "Next time he comes to greet you, the concubine will ask."

So next time King Jin went to greet her, she really asked, King Jin disapproved and said: "If the prince is enthroned in the future, the son will be better with the prince, and there must be no bad thing; if the prince is not good in the future, The sons and ministers have followed the prince everywhere, and they have gained a lot of knowledge, and they can learn the lessons of failure with the prince all the time. Why not do it? The sons and ministers have no important things to do now."

Xie Fenghuang: "..."

She conveyed this thought to Chunjia with difficulty the next day. Chunjia was also quite speechless, but did not ridicule. Instead, she commented: "This kid is a bit interesting."

These words made Xie Fenghuang breathe a sigh of relief, and also hoped that this son would fight for his anger. When he was a child, he would be so angry that he would be speechless. How can he be smarter when he grows up?

Always let the emperor find it more and more interesting, more and more suitable for the position of the crown prince.

When the emperor and empress were discussing when the king of Jin would return to such a low profile, the king of Jin suddenly attacked him!

This year came the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and a scandal broke out at the banquet: the prince was too strong to drink, and when he went back to take a nap, he was found lying with Lin Xiuyuan!

Lin Xiuyuan is an old man in the palace, and it is considered to be the group of Xie Fenghuang who entered the palace.

Regardless of age, he can be the prince's mother properly.

She was not very spoiled, but she was very hardworking in serving a certain high position before, so Xie Fenghuang played several times in Dafeng Liugong, and finally got promoted to Xiuyuan. She hasn't moved since, and she hasn't been much. Be pampered by the emperor. But luck was good. Three years ago, she did not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet held in the palace three years ago because of illness, and she escaped.

All in all, he is the kind of person who lives honestly in the palace, regardless of his nature, who dares to make trouble without even thinking about it.

Although because of the share of the nine concubines, I have been pampered and treated well, but at this age, everyone knows how can the prince have an affair with her? !

But I couldn't stand it under everyone's eyes, and everyone saw it, so in any case, the prince's accusation of insulting his concubine would be very difficult to clean up.

auzw.com So the banquet hurried away, and Chunjia was so angry that she kicked the table over in the Imperial Study Room: "Bastard! Bastid! It's all bastard!"

Xie Fenghuang and Cui Lianye stood and kneeled one by one, carefully persuading him to calm down.

The emperor sneered and said, "A good Mid-Autumn Festival. It's rare that Fan's children are back for a reunion. When did things go wrong, but this time?! You still have the face to help out!"

Since the emperor deliberately tempers the heirs, he doesn't care about them doing things honestly.

Not to mention that the implicated concubine is a long-forgotten concubine, as long as it is not Xie Fenghuang, he will not really be angry with the other concubines.

After all, for him, concubines other than the queen are within easy reach, and it is a good deal to be able to experience a satisfactory heir.

But when is it not easy to make things happen, but the Mid-Autumn Festival feast?

Over the years, haven’t there been enough accidents at the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Is this for fear that he will not be upset by the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future? ? ?

"This is all bad for the children, but this matter is quite strange. Please also ask your Majesty to observe the details and give the children a chance." Xie Fenghuang persuaded, "Otherwise, if there is a misunderstanding, wouldn't it mean that two people have been harmed?"

Seeing the queen speaking for the prince, Concubine Cui was not happy and worried. She always felt that the queen was uneasy and kind. I was afraid that it would be unkind, but she did not dare to express such suspicion. She only sobbed and begged the emperor to see the flesh and blood. Prince Rao once.

The truth of this matter is actually known to everyone.

Chunjia also knew very well that he still asked someone to conduct a thorough investigation, mainly to figure out King Jin's methods and to observe King Song's reaction.

However, the prince lying with Lin Xiuyuan was just an introduction. The king of Jin had been in front of the prince for three years, and he was able to figure out the details of the East Palace. The next day, the emperor was still quiet. The news of Shi Lian’s impeachment of the prince held in his hands many evidences of the prince and the family of the prince’s concubine, the Cui family, and the family of the prince’s officials.

All of a sudden, the impeachment was overwhelming, and the wall fell and everyone pushed it in the East Palace.

Chunjia commented on this: "This kid is cruel. He has followed the prince in the past three years and saw that the elder brother of the prince is long and the elder of the prince is short. But when he turned his face, it was so simple. I don't know how he looks like. Who?"

Xie Fenghuang immediately said vigilantly: "The concubine was innocent when she was a child, but it's not like this."

Then he looked at Chunjia from the corner of his eye, suggesting frequently.

The emperor laughed blankly and said: "Well, he is like no one. This kid is just used to you, lawless."

The King Jin turned his face abruptly, and he started so fiercely. The Donggong was not only formed today, so naturally there was a counterattack.

However, the prince was silent. He was not the same as the silence of the previous prince Gong Xiangbing. Gong Xiangbing was actually very clever. Silence was just a protective color when he was dormant.

But the second prince was really taciturn under Cui's nurturing.

Therefore, even if the staff prepared painstakingly, the disputes above the court clearly fell under the king of Jin.

It was the attitude of Concubine Cui Guifei, the second prince's adoptive mother, that caused the most pain and headache of the Donggong official.

Concubine Cui did not feel that Chunjia was sincere in setting up her own son. After she came back, although she was promoted to a noble concubine, she was sought after from inside and outside, but she never dared to disrespect Zhonggong, even if it wasn't for Xie Fenghuang. Said that the illness refused, she also wanted to go to the Central Palace every day to ask An to wait on her.

After suffering for three years in this situation, Concubine Cui didn't want to delay the time at all. She even bothered the officials who instructed the prince how to keep the crown prince than King Jin!

In short, Concubine Cui closed the door and had a long talk with her son. After that, she went to the court directly as an adoptive mother, requesting the abolition of the second prince's position as the crown prince, and the title of Song King, and immediately became the vassal!

Her reason is that the second prince was brought up by her, and she knows best what kind of virtues, this child is not a pillar of talent, after being registered as a prince, will it just drift off? Even the concubine dare to get involved! If you don't drive him out of the Imperial Capital at this time, will it be possible that you will make a bigger mistake in the future and then do it again? What do you mean by the ministers now trying to excuse him and keep him? Are you trying to force her son to death?

The ministers of the Eastern Palace are simply bloody!

They tried every means to exonerate the prince, but the prince’s adoptive mother readily admitted that the prince insulted the concubine!

How can you fight this? ? ?

This can't be done at all!

Even Chunjia was quite speechless, and he had the heart to call Concubine Cui over to knock her out of her business, but if you think about it, Concubine Cui will only recognize that the emperor treats their mother and son as abandoned sons... fact.

King Jin's win was simply smooth sailing!

So that the emperor, under the urgency of Cui Lianye, abolished the prince as King Song. After sending their mother and son to leave, facing the vacant East Palace again, he was a bit at a loss, wondering who should be established?

It is said that King Jin is almost ready to be in power at this age, especially the method used to deal with his brother this time. It is true that he and the staff he recruited, the queen did not intervene at all, and it is not that he can't be the prince first.

But let alone Chunjia, even Xie Fenghuang felt that this son was a bit invincible.

After all, the call was only started, and Cui Guifei stood up and helped her son to order surrender. This won without martial virtues.

But if the other princes were to be established, the older princes left now are the Qin, Wei, Yan, Chongxin, and Twelve princes.

The latter two were vulnerable after Gu Zhen was deposed, and could not be beaten at all.

The previous one was that Xie Fenghuang’s knees fought the emperor’s heirs. Xie Fenghuang was reluctant to persuade the emperor: "Why don’t you first entrust King Jin, he was just a prince before, and King Song has nothing to guard against. As long as the other princes have thoughts, how can they not join hands to deal with him? This is also a temper. If he sits firmly in the future, of course it is best; if he is unsteady, wait until King Zhen grows up. ."

Chunjia sighed helplessly: "What if King Zhen can't do it?"

Xie Fenghuang struggled for a while, and said, "The prince underneath is mostly young, and the birth mother and adoptive mother are the same. If Jin Wangzhen is raised under the knees of his concubine, he will not be able to hold back such a brother when he grows up. , The concubine will recognize it."

Of course it was impossible. She had promised the Empress Yuan that she would not do too much in the future, but it was still possible to suppress the concubine and murder the emperor's heir.

Whoever dared to pass her son, she would kill anyone.

All the signs are pinched out, come a few more times, I am not afraid that other people will not be ignorant.

It's impossible to sit and wait for death anyway, it's impossible in this life.

The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally accepted the queen's suggestion.

So in the early spring of Chunjia's twenty-sixth year, the third crown prince of the Kingdom took office as the king of Jin.
