Chapter 409: The Newcomer Smiles

Chapter 409: The Newcomer Smiles

The current emperor, Qin Zheng, is over seventy years old and has dozens of children, including fourteen princes.

Although the emperor was old, he was growing stronger and healthier than many young people.

Not only did he not intend to abdicate, but he tightened his grip on power.

Every year, we have to draft girls, and we are addicted to alchemy every day...

Qin Zheng has already killed several sons, and now in the entire harem, there are only twelve princes, Qin Yu, who is the most suitable age, and there is no disease on the surface, so he is the most suitable person to be the heir apparent.

It is known from the ranking that Qin Yu is the twelfth prince, that is to say, there are eleven older brothers in front of him.

The superiority and inferiority are orderly, as long as there is no major fault, generally speaking, the elders are established but not the young.

It's a pity that the emperor has no intention of abdicating the throne, even if he establishes a crown prince, it's useless.

Instead, let the rest of the people look for opportunities to punish the prince, provoke, and arrange... Finally, the prince was charged with "conspiracy", put under house arrest, and then died in depression.

Of course, whether it is a melancholy death or someone wants to end future troubles forever, everyone is tacitly aware of it.

Then came the second prince and the third prince... some of these were before the emperor was about to appoint a prince, the mother and concubine standing behind them and the corresponding wave of forces started to move, fighting each other; some were after the prince was established Frame the prince... Of course, part of the reason is that the prince himself couldn't restrain himself. After all, I am now the candidate for the crown prince, and I have washed my ass long ago and waited to sit on the throne, but this old guy has not abdicated for a long time, and he is still guarding against them...It is inevitable that he will be a little impatient, and then he will be provoked...and something will happen .

Therefore, among those who died over the years, only the nine princes who were in their prime, the twelve princes who were young, and the thirteen and fourteen princes who had just reached the crown.

The Ninth Prince is the son of the third Empress Wu, and was originally the most promising person to ascend the throne.

It's a pity that some time ago, something happened to Empress Wu's natal family, and it was said that her relatives colluded with party members to monopolize power and disturbed the imperial court.

So Empress Wu's natal family and related people were cleaned up. Empress Wu was down, and now she just tucked her tail, and because the Ninth Prince fell off the horse for some reason, it is said that he broke his leg. , the spirit was also stimulated, so he has been cultivating.

In this way, the Ninth Prince is basically abolished.

Now, the empress's natal family is no longer powerful, and her son is abolished, so she doesn't dare to dance, and the harem is dominated by the golden concubine.

The rest of the concubines are either attached to her, or have been killed by her, and those who have been thrown into the cold palace have been thrown into the cold palace.

Concubine Jin is the biological mother of the thirteenth prince, Qin An. Now the emperor is over seventy years old. Even if he refuses to accept his old age, he will definitely not grow up. She must clear the way for her son.

Right now, only the Twelve Princes are still "unscathed", which naturally became a thorn in her side. It just so happened that Qin Yu didn't live outside the palace, otherwise it would be difficult to do anything. In fact, when she suggested that Qin Yu should live in the bedroom of the former nobleman Yuhua, it was for this reason.

Therefore, today's matter seems to be a coincidence, but it was actually planned by Concubine Jin long ago, and it was done because of her internal support in this courtyard.

Things look complicated, but they are actually just that little thing.

…………

Because Qingu has finally sorted out these relationships, she feels relaxed all over, isn't it just Gongdou.

What to do with these little tricks, in her opinion, there is nothing that cannot be handled by absolute force.

The key point is that Qin Yu doesn't look like an ordinary person, when the time comes when his force value rises, the imperial edict to directly let the fatuous old emperor abdicate is...

Thinking of this, Qingu's heart became more settled, and he began to operate the congenital qi refining technique and entered the cultivation process.

…… Emperor Qin Zheng, who was already in his fifties, went on a tour, and met a woman with a fragrance all over her body, and then brought her back to the palace and made her a nobleman.

Although he was just a noble person, he was really loved by three thousand people, and he was in the limelight for a while.

After all, the emperor was not a dedicated person, and he was soon attracted by the younger and more beautiful women who had just entered the palace. Although he did not completely forget the nobleman, the degree of favor was far less than before.

This younger and more beautiful woman is Wu Shi (that is, the current empress). With her beauty and unparalleled talent, she quickly attracted the emperor's attention and became another new favorite in the palace.

All the way up, she became a concubine.

It's a pity that the two children she gave birth to were girls. In the harem, the ultimate goal of a woman's struggle is the queen mother, and only when she becomes the queen mother's life can she truly belong to herself. So everyone wants to have a son.

Because she was too in the limelight, the queen at that time (the second queen) faintly felt that her position was unstable. Because she had heard from many sources that the emperor had even planned to abolish the empress and make the Wu family his empress... she was only short of giving birth to a prince.

So the queen suppressed Wu intentionally or unintentionally... who knew that this was a trick of Wu's, to let the queen act first.

Then through someone else's hand, it was reported that the Queen used witchcraft to curse the nobleman of Yuhua.

The word witchcraft is a taboo of the emperor. It is said that the queen mother used this disgraceful trick to climb the dragon bed from a maidservant, get a dragon seed in one fell swoop, and then soar into the sky.

So these words meant the emperor's disgraceful past, and he hated whoever said these words the most.

In fact, he didn't believe that the empress would do this. After all, she was the lord of the Sixth Palace. Even if the emperor fell in love with any woman, he would never shake the empress's position casually.

But it was such a coincidence that I accidentally saw a doll in the Queen's Palace...

No matter how the queen of the year explained it was useless, she was finally thrown into the cold palace under the operation of several forces.

A few years later, the Wu family finally gave birth to a dragon son, who was named the queen (the third queen).

Let's say that although the emperor abolished the original queen (the second term), but after thinking about it, the two of them had experienced some good things before, otherwise they would not have made her a queen.

But it's no use regretting it now, so I even felt a little bit angry with the nobleman Yuhua, or maybe the novelty at the beginning was over, so I left the nobleman Yuhua cold and completely fell out of favor.

At that time, the nobleman Yuhua was already pregnant, and gave birth to a child the next year, a boy, the Twelfth Prince Qin Yu.

At that time, the nobleman Yuhua had fallen out of favor, and even giving birth to a prince could not change her fate, probably because she had seen through the people and things in the palace, and did not fight or plan, and her life was very miserable.

On the other hand, Wu's favor did not last for a few years before being replaced by another newcomer.

Fortunately, she finally climbed to the position of queen and had another son, so she finally had something to rely on.

This "another newcomer" is the Jin family (now Jin Guifei) who has a prominent family background in another round of new picks.
