Chapter 241 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 30
The emperor has been unfilial, disrespectful, and disobedient time and time again, and now he has shown a tendency to disregard his country and his ancestors for the sake of his beauty. For the ministers and elders, the disappointment is already palpable.
But this is not over yet.
The emperor was dissatisfied with everyone's expressions, so he simply took another step for himself.
"Not only do I want to protect Beauty Qiu, but I also want to make her my concubine!"
The emperor knew very well that even if these people would not quarrel with him now, they would still attack Qiuqiu if he turned around. He had no choice. If he didn't want Qiuqiu to die, he could only protect her behind him.
The throne he cared about most had become a joke, and he couldn't let the person he cared about most disappear.
The emperor was determined and his whole person became more ruthless.
Everyone present was in a daze, feeling as if they had never known the emperor before.
"Your Majesty, even ordinary people in the city still want to have face, not to mention that we are a royal family!" Prince Heng was so angry. When the late emperor was in power, he had been in charge of the clan for decades. No emperor has ever said that he was shameless in pretending to be drunk, let alone going crazy for a dishonest woman!
"Needless to say, no matter what happens today, I will protect Concubine Qiu!"
After the emperor said this, he personally took Ye Ruqiu's hand and left without looking back.
The whole hall was silent.
After a few breaths, I heard the sound of a broken porcelain cup being pushed.
Several people were angry.
"Your Majesty's wings are hardened, and we will no longer be in his eyes." The concubine walked up to the old man of the Chen family and bowed. "My daughter has tried her best. But the emperor obviously does not share our hearts. My daughter is sorry for the ancestors of the Chen family..."
The concubine just shed tears, and then she fell down again...
"This is unreasonable!" Prince Heng spoke again. The Queen Mother died early, and the Princess treated the Emperor well. Before the Emperor ascended the throne, the Princess took care of the late emperor's harem for many years. All civil and military officials in the court saw the Princess as if they were seeing the Queen Mother. Today is the Princess's birthday, and everyone is here to participate, but Isn’t it because of the respect for the concubine’s years of hard work and merit?
But today, on the concubine's birthday, the emperor made the concubine faint with anger twice and interrupted her many times. It was extremely disrespectful and unfilial! Such an emperor has clearly failed the late emperor! Ashamed of the ministers who assisted him with all their strength!
Can everyone not be angry?
"Within one day, the whole palace was in chaos. It was unheard of. In broad daylight, the concubines were having sex, the emperor was acting recklessly, the guards committed suicide, and assassins were rampant. To put it bluntly, the emperor had too much power." In the court, they held most of the power. , but most of the power in the palace is in the hands of the emperor.
With everything going on today, if the emperor is careless, it means he is not capable enough. How can one manage a country if one palace cannot be managed well?
But if he meant it, that would be a bit heartbreaking...
"People can be taught if they are not capable, but if they have bad conduct, it will not be easy to correct them!"
"Even though we worked hard, it turned out to be a joke in the end!"
"The emperor threw up his sleeves and left. Obviously he didn't intend to take care of today's affairs anymore. We can't just ignore it."
"After today, it can be seen that there are problems with defense, not only the emperor's guards, but also the guards in the entire palace. Let's help put things in order!"
"It is not convenient for us foreign ministers to interfere in palace affairs, so why not leave it to...Prince Heng and the Queen to negotiate and arrange it!"
Prince Heng nodded: "I can do my best."
The queen also nodded: "I will do my best to prevent such a scandal from happening again!"
Tao Ran drank tea quietly.
By this point, most power in the palace had been transferred from the emperor's hands. At this moment, the number of people the emperor can use is already stretched thin. The personal guards and secret guards entrusted to him by the late emperor should not be out of his control for long!
It feels quite good to be the boss behind the scenes!
No one paid attention to her, but she was the promoter of all incidents. The key is, it’s easy! Her job is basically to talk, and the rest of the time she drinks tea and watches movies.
When she thought about the original vicious setting of the woman in the script, she felt happy. Seeing her completing the "difficult" plot so easily, that woman would probably have a heart attack from anger.
Tao Ran knew that after today, the attitude of the group of loyal veterans behind the emperor must have changed drastically. As for the emperor, the power he originally held in his hands was gone sooner or later.
As long as he continues to work hard and makes the confrontation between the emperor and the veterans more serious, it will be sooner or later that the emperor fundamentally angers the ministers, loses the support and support of the people, and is completely ignored!
In the plot, he caused civil servants and military generals to fight so hard that both sides suffered losses. This time, he will be the enemy of the whole world!
This kind of revenge is probably what Yu Tong wants to see the most, right?
…
Prince Ning has come into the sight of many people today.
He was responsible for hunting down the fake father-in-law and preventing the assassination of Rong Jieyu.
The ministers sighed slightly.
Prince Ning, this is another good thing done by the emperor!
King Ning is busy guarding the border in the south, protecting his family and country, how can he be threatened? He insists on recalling people, which is really overkill.
At this moment, Prince Ning volunteered.
"Since I have captured these dead soldiers, why not let me be responsible for trying to get them to speak."
"Then there's King Laoning!"
All the ministers looked at Prince Ning highly.
There are not many capable and responsible people in the royal family!
…
Prince Ning glanced over, and when he saw Tao Ran, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Today in the guest house, the two had a brief exchange.
At that time, he asked directly, why did the imperial concubine repeatedly set her sights on these young male guests at the banquet?
At that time, Tao Ran was stunned by his question.
She didn't expect that Prince Ning was not only powerful, but also careful. There were so many people at the banquet that even she noticed the attention she paid to the male guests.
Tao Ran didn't reply to him, but asked him why he came to the guest house to look for someone in such a hurry even though he knew that the emperor was drunk, and what else had to be said right now?
"What about the noble concubine? Isn't she just like me?"
Prince Ning was more cheerful than her, saying that he had noticed from the banquet that the emperor was a little unnatural. "I have good eyesight and can see a lot. I also have a good nose." It turned out that Eunuch He had discovered that the emperor's wine had been replaced by water.
So he didn't believe that the emperor was drunk at all, so he came here.
"The king, like the noble concubine, is worried about the emperor and wants to serve!"
They are both smart people, and they can tell right away that the other person's intentions are not good.
Prince Ning was particularly curious about the imperial concubine at that time.
This beloved concubine went on a rampage and almost had sex with the emperor's confidant, not to mention inviting him to wait for the emperor in the guest house. No matter how hard Prince Ning judged him, he didn't notice the concubine's "love" for the emperor. Instead, the concubine tried to win over him. the taste of.
The reason why Tao Ran did this was because he was deliberately testing. Prince Ning and Eunuch He went to such lengths to insist on entering the hospital, which really didn't seem to have good intentions. She invited her intentionally, but not only did he not avoid suspicion, he actually waited in the courtyard openly. Just like her, there is a feeling that if the emperor doesn't show up, he will wait forever.
Knowing clearly that the emperor and Eunuch He were deceitful, but still doing this, could this be a good intention?
With the idea that even the enemy's enemies might be able to win over, Tao Ran said seemingly unintentionally: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning has extraordinary military power. There has been a lot of trouble in the palace recently. You may have heard about the assassination of me in the front line. Prince Ning is always around the emperor." It’s good to move around. Maybe you can achieve great achievements?”
"No wonder the empress is so affectionate. The empress is really considerate of the emperor." Prince Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at the imperial concubine, secretly testing her.
"Your Highness is wrong. I am thinking about you."
"oh?"
"Um."
The two seemed to talk a lot, but they seemed to say nothing.
