The 467th Chapter Palace Fight Is Not as Good as Rebellion (4)

"Erlang, is the Empress Dowager better?"

Hu looked at Emperor Yongcheng's face and asked softly.

"Well, mother has woken up!"

Emperor Yongcheng was full of worries, and there was an inexplicable sense of unreality.

Hearing the voice that made him depend on him, he didn't show the adoring and happy smile as usual.

He replied casually and walked over to the low couch.

Hu shi's eyes flickered for a moment, slightly adjusted his expression, grabbed in front of Emperor Yongcheng, and sat cross-legged on the low couch first.

Seeing this, Emperor Yongcheng habitually snuggled up in front of Mrs Hu and rested his head on her lap.

Mr. Hu familiarly untied Emperor Yongcheng's hair bun, used his hands as a comb, and slowly combed Emperor Yongcheng's hair and massaged his scalp.

While fiddling, Hu Shi still reached out and touched Emperor Yongcheng's forehead in the gap, feeling his temperature.

The warm and soft palm rested on his forehead, giving Emperor Yongcheng a familiar sense of security.

He seems to have returned to his childhood. Whenever something unhappy happens, his mother is too busy fighting with his father, so she doesn't care about him at all.

Only the nursing mother would take herself into her arms like a mother, gently comb his hair with her hands, and softly ask him if he was wronged.

These made him feel a deep sense of concern and the illusion of being wrapped in maternal love.

"call!"

It was a familiar feeling and the warmth of being cared for, and Emperor Yongcheng let out the breath that was stagnant in his chest.

"Jiro, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Emperor Yongcheng's appearance, Hu knew that it was almost the same.

She asked softly, like a loving mother who dotes on her child.

"..." Emperor Yongcheng did not open his heart directly to the nurse as usual.

It's not that he doesn't trust the wet nurse, it's that he doesn't know how to say wow.

Because of the matter itself, it seems that it should be a happy thing-the queen mother who had been forcing him to marry a noble girl from a family suddenly changed her temper,

Whoever he likes can be canonized as the queen!

Finally, I can marry my beloved little green plum, and I can also give the nurse a dignity and dignity.

Emperor Yongcheng was not happy.

He even had a kind of impatience and anger that was roasted on the fire.

How could this be?

Why did the queen mother change her mouth?

Emperor Yongcheng did not have much affection for his biological mother, let alone trust and dependence.

He Tiantian said just now that as a mother, she loves Emperor Yongcheng, so she will let him be happy in the future.

Emperor Yongcheng did not believe a word.

He even secretly thought that the queen mother might have a new strategy.

But no matter what the Queen Mother is secretly brewing, for now, Emperor Yongcheng is in a dilemma.

"The Empress Dowager still wants you to marry Wang's daughter?"

Hu Shi quietly observed Emperor Yongcheng's face and asked tentatively.

Emperor Yongcheng's body froze, and after a while, he shook his head.

There was a hint of doubt in Hu Shi's eyes, and she continued to test: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager has taken a fancy to other famous ladies?"

The first emperor, Zhao Jiong, left behind three main ministers.

In addition to the Wang family, the other two families also have daughters of the right age.

It's just that the Wang family still has the identity of an aristocratic family, which seems to be more worthy of marriage than the other two.

Although the Hu family hoped that her daughter could marry the little emperor, she knew very well that the Zheng family's rank was too low.

In addition, the Queen Mother didn't like her Hu family, and naturally she didn't like seeing Zheng Nian'er, who was born to her Hu family.

That is to say, the Hu family has the affection of feeding and taking care of Emperor Yongcheng, and in the early years, because of various reasons in the palace, Empress Dowager He sent Emperor Yongcheng to be raised outside the palace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu not only deepened his relationship with Emperor Yongcheng, but also let his two children accompany Emperor Yongcheng.

With the love of growing up together since childhood, Zheng Nian'er was born charming and lovely again, and the little emperor who was just beginning to love him immediately put her on the top of his heart.

As long as Zheng Nian'er enters the palace, even if it is a low-grade Baolin or talented person, Hu's family has the confidence to make her daughter a favorite concubine, and then glorify the lintel of the Zheng family.

Empress... Zheng Nian'er had the idea of ​​becoming Erlang's wife, but the whole Zheng family knew that it was just a delusion.

Don't say that Empress Dowager He refused to agree, it is the little emperor himself, it is estimated that--

Emperor Yongcheng shook his head again.

The Hu family couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the Empress Dowager He didn't want the emperor to ask the emperor to marry the noble daughter Shuyuan of the same family?

impossible!

Hu's husband and wife are both servants of the He family. Because she had just given birth to a daughter, she herself was in good health and looked good, so she was chosen to be the nurse of the little prince.

The little prince's status is precious, and the Hu family is not the only wet nurse, but the person most esteemed by the little prince.

After so many years of dealings, Hu also learned about the Empress Dowager He.

The most noble woman in the harem has always been strong.

Not only was he strict with the little emperor, but also in front of the late emperor, he never gave in half a point.

Sometimes, Hu's family thinks that if the Queen Mother was softer and could think of Xie Guifei's gentle carelessness, the Queen Mother and the late emperor might not be in a situation where the situation is like water and fire.

The late emperor was more than ten years older than the queen mother, so to the queen mother, she was definitely not a yellow-faced woman or a bad wife.

She and the late emperor were originally husband and wife.

It is said that when the two first got married, it was also your love and affection.

In the first five years of their marriage, the Queen Mother gave birth to two children.

Unfortunately, they all died one after another.

At that time, the late emperor had already established himself in the country, and his age had passed his thirties.

Not only the late emperor himself, but also the courtiers were worried about the heir of the newly established dynasty.

For the sake of his heirs, the late emperor began to accept the harem.

A noble girl from an aristocratic family, a noble queen, or a woman from a poor family.

From different backgrounds, the beautiful girls have their own advantages and disadvantages.

For a time, Huan Feiyan was thin and Yingge Yanyu was very lively in the Taiji Palace.

Among the many beautiful girls, the most favored and the fastest to advance is Concubine Xie.

Hearing the surname, I also know that this one's maiden is the Xie Clan of Chen County, which is named after the Langya Wang Clan.

Although Wang Xie's reputation has not been as good as before, Xie's is still a well-known signboard.

The late emperor said that he wanted to appease the family, and the Wang Xie family were the leaders of the family.

The most honorable person in the harem is the queen, who is not a scumbag wife, but takes half of the country as a dowry to marry the late emperor.

The queen's position cannot be shaken unless the queen herself commits a major crime such as treason.

Below the queen is the noble concubine, so Xie became the second only noble concubine directly after the queen within three months of entering the palace.

The emperor's favor for Concubine Xie reached its peak after Concubine Xie gave birth to a prince.

It is not the first time that the late emperor has become a father. In fact, he also married a wife and concubine before marrying the He family.

These wives and concubines bore him children.

It's just that during the war, wives, concubines and children died, disappeared and disappeared, and when he told He's family, he became a person again.

It was not the first time to be a father, nor was it the first time to have a son, but the late emperor was very excited.

Because the prince born by Concubine Xie Gui has a different meaning. This is the first prince born after he established the Dayong Dynasty.

It is a kind of "successor" in a sense!

The late emperor wanted to spoil the eldest prince, and even with Concubine Xie, he became the first person in the harem.

Seeing how he valued the eldest prince, he seemed to take this child as an heir and cultivate it.

Mr. He: ...is it tolerable or unbearable.

At the beginning, she had a covenant with the late emperor.

The Jiangshan of the Dayong Dynasty can only be inherited by their own flesh and blood.

However, Mr. He did not make a noise.

Because she does not have a son under her knees, it is easy to fall into the inferior position when fighting for it at this time.

So, Mrs. He tried every means to take care of her body, and finally got pregnant when the eldest prince was four years old.

It was only during pregnancy that He was extremely difficult.

Not only did she have to resist Xie Guifei's various means, but she also had to guard against the late emperor.

Yes, you read that right, it seems that the late emperor did not want to see He gave birth to a son from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know if he really loves Concubine Xie, and for the sake of their mother and son, he would not hesitate to hurt his original wife and son in secret.

I don't know that he has a plan, and the blood of the He family is flowing in the body of the son who cannot bear to inherit the throne!

From pregnancy to childbirth, He's is comparable to experiencing ninety-nine-eighty-one calamities, each of which is a catastrophe that kills people.

Fortunately, the He family is smart enough, and the nobles and ministers of the He family's faction in the court support her, and she also has a mysterious secret guard in her hand.

This allowed her to give birth to a prince without any risk.

However, having a son is not everything.

The late emperor didn't even like seeing this heir, and he often reprimanded him for being weak and incompetent.

Xie Guifei and many concubines framed He's mother and son, even if He obtained evidence, the late emperor would just kill a scapegoat to fool the matter.

When the eldest prince was fourteen years old and began to discuss relatives, the late emperor even took the stance of choosing a crown prince, and chose several powerful wives and concubines for the eldest prince.

At this time, the Dayong Dynasty had been established for more than ten years, and the late emperor had already completely controlled everything.

And those nobles and courtiers from the He family's faction also slowly moved closer to the late emperor.

Some of the late emperor's confidants, or some officials from aristocratic families, began to quarrel in the court about the establishment of an heir.

The candidate for the crown prince they want to admire is naturally the first prince Zhao Yao.

Of course, there were still some courtiers who respected etiquette and rules, and suggested that the first son of the Empress Yuan should be registered as the crown prince.

However, no matter it is the person who stands for the eldest prince, or the person who respects the law of etiquette, they all "forgot" the covenant between the He and Zhao families.

He was secretly angry and unwilling, but she was not someone who only knew how to accumulate negative emotions.

For the sake of herself and her son, and for the justice of the He family, she chose to attack in secret.

Just when the late emperor personally went off the stage to help Concubine Xie in the "gong fight" and was about to pull the queen He's down from the horse, the always strong late emperor actually fell ill due to a cold.

Once sick, he became terminally ill in just a few days.

The He family is the queen, and there are secret guards in her hands. Whether it is the righteousness of the name or the power of force, she has surpassed Concubine Xie.

Xie Guifei, who had been arrogant in the harem for more than ten years, was in the final analysis only a favored concubine who relied on the favor of the late emperor.

Once the late emperor fell, she would have no capital to show her claws.

The He clan took control of the harem with the power of thunder, and controlled the seriously ill late emperor to write an edict, making the second prince Zhao Gui the crown prince.

The late emperor was not reconciled, and before he died, he took a sigh of relief and appointed three ministers to take care of Zhao Gui.

The late emperor was afraid, he was really afraid that the He clan would change the name from the Zhao clan to the He clan!

But he underestimated the cruelty of He Shi, and overestimated the ability of Concubine Xie's mother and son to face the crisis.

In this way, the late emperor died with hatred, the ten-year-old prince Zhao Gui ascended the throne, and the He family was honored as the empress dowager.

The new emperor was still young and could not manage the government personally, so the Queen Mother He and the three ministers who took care of life assisted him.

Relying on her tenacity and planning, the Empress Dowager He finally became the winner of the harem.

According to her strength and hatred for Xie's mother and son, it was considered kind and generous that Empress Dowager He did not immediately kill Xie Guifei and the eldest prince.

It's not the Mother of the Queen Mother He, but she has clear grievances.

She knew that the person she should hate the most was the late emperor, and she had already avenged it.

As for the Xie family and the eldest prince, it was just a knife introduced by the late emperor.

Empress Dowager He was unwilling to commit more murders, so she planned to leave the mother and son alive. She wanted to send the Xie family to guard the spirit of the late emperor, and give the eldest prince a random title, and be kept in captivity in the capital.

Twenty or thirty years later, the eldest prince has been reduced from the once favored prince to a desolate clan.

In this way, the Empress Dowager He and the Emperor Yongcheng who succeeded to the throne can also gain a good reputation.

However, the Empress Dowager He ignored one person - her own son, Emperor Yongcheng Zhao Gui!

Empress Dowager He did not want to kill Xie's mother and son, not because she did not hate it, but because she did not want to smear her reputation for the losers.

But she never imagined that her own son actually regarded the "enemy" as his own brother.

Empress Dowager He never understood that she, Yongcheng Emperor and Xie's mother and son were natural enemies.

Either his mother and son died, or Xie's mother and son became knives.

It is impossible for the two sides to reconcile, let alone become a family.

But it was her own son. She felt that the Queen Mother in power was too domineering and too cold, and she actually treated the emperor's favorite concubine harshly and banned the emperor's parents and children.

Empress Dowager He regarded the eldest prince as a thorn in his side, but Emperor Yongcheng regarded Zhao Yao as his only brother.

He even went against the will of the Queen Mother He, canonized Zhao Yao as the king of Liang, and directly made Liangzhou, which is very close to the capital, as Zhao Yao's fief.

Concubine Xie Gui spent three years in the imperial mausoleum and became seriously ill. Emperor Yongcheng took her back to the capital without authorization on the grounds of recuperating, and let her live in Prince Liang's mansion to be an old ancestor with filial sons and grandchildren.

Empress Dowager He almost vomited blood from her own son's anger.

But she still endured.

The son has no pro-government, no big marriage, and no heir.

His throne is not secure.

For the sake of her son, Empress Dowager He endured nausea and acquiesced to all kinds of "disobedience" of Emperor Yongcheng.

After these few events, the Hu family completely knew what Empress Dowager He's weakness was - her son and Jiangshan.

But now, seeking to marry a noble daughter of a noble family for Emperor Yongcheng is not only to allow Emperor Yongcheng to govern as soon as possible, but also to stabilize the country.

Empress Dowager He really loves her son, so she knows how to be really good to her son.

It is impossible for her to allow her son to mess around with the marriage.

Can--

Seeing Emperor Yongcheng always shaking his head, Hu Shi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Hu Shi was worried, but her daughter Zheng Nian'er was secretly happy, and even ran out impulsive, and said excitedly to Emperor Yongcheng, "Erlang, is that old witch no longer forcing you to marry those famous ladies?!"
