Chapter 2038 King of Qi
The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead: "I am tired, Emperor, please go see your own son!"
She just couldn't understand why the descendants of their lineage were so unmotivated?
Her husband was the second emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among the princes below, except for one of her twins who wanted to be the emperor, the others were all idle.
Like the father of King Kang, the father of the emperor, and the King of Qi whose fiefdom was in Jiangnan, plus Grandpa Gu, there were four princes in total, none of whom wanted to be the emperor.
In fact, her twins had no ambitions. Grandpa Gu grew up in the palace until he was ten years old, and the other one was outside the palace. Because of an illness, Grandpa Gu left the palace, and the other one returned to the palace to be the prince.
After the other one returned to the palace, his temperament changed drastically, and he became ambitious. He wanted to keep the position of the prince and wanted to ascend the throne of the emperor, so Grandpa Gu was hunted down and then encountered a natural disaster and drifted to Qingzhou.
It's just that the one in the palace didn't have a good life either.
The father of King Kang was slightly better than King Kang. He might have ambitions, but his ability was not enough to support his ambitions. He was stupid in some things, but he knew the current situation, so he was at ease to be a prince.
In the Jiangnan lineage, the old King Qi had only one concubine. It was not because he was infatuated, but because he liked unique and handsome boys. Therefore, after the old princess gave birth to two daughters and a son, the old King Qi stopped following the old princess.
Of course, the old King Qi lived a luxurious life and played too much, and died. The old princess had been depressed for many years and had passed away long ago. The current King Qi is younger than King Kang. He does not like handsome boys, but likes handsome girls.
In order to live happily with his beloved girls, the King Qi basically does not return to Beijing, and he will definitely be scolded if he returns.
When he was nineteen, he forcibly robbed a commoner girl. The Empress Dowager, who was still the Empress Dowager at the time, found out and severely punished him. In the past twenty years, the girls that the King Qi found were all willing to be with them.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager set a rule for the King of Qi, that is, you cannot force the girl herself, and you cannot do anything to force the girl to agree. If you have the ability, you can rely on yourself to make her like you and follow you as a concubine.
The King of Qi learned from his mistakes and stopped forcibly snatching women from the people. He began to impress the girls with his sincerity.
So, except for the princess, the two concubines in the Qi Palace were found by the royal family. The others were all girls that the King of Qi brought home with his sincerity.
Nine years ago, when the Empress Dowager celebrated her 70th birthday, the King of Qi returned to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. He also told King Kang and the Emperor that he felt that his heart was bigger than before. Why? Because he found that he liked several girls, and he had to be sincere to exchange his sincerity for others' sincerity.
At the end of this year, the Empress Dowager will celebrate her 80th birthday, and it is unknown which sincerity the King of Qi will bring back to Beijing.
Of course, the Empress Dowager has only two sons. Although the sons of other people have to call her mother, she will not interfere too much. As long as they do not damage the reputation of the royal family and do not bully the people, she will not ask too much.
She just felt that her husband's descendants were not as ambitious as her husband's brother, Prince Qu's lineage, when it came to the throne.
Prince Qu's lineage had been planning for decades, since she was still the Crown Princess, but it hadn't worked out yet.
