Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1016 The Best Family 143
The emperor saw that others thought he was extremely wise and was very proud of himself. He sought advice from Linlang more and more often. He wanted to continue to maintain this wise image in front of others. However, this behavior made others wonder why Linlang was becoming more and more favored as she got older.
As for Linlang, she was favored by the emperor in the eyes of others, which was naturally good for her status in the palace.

It's a win-win situation.

The only losers are probably the concubines. No matter how hard they try to win favor, they cannot win over Imperial Noble Consort Sun. Even if they fight, they cannot defeat the other party, and they are all in despair.

The emperor is in urgent need of Linlang now and is dependent on her, so if someone wants to harm Linlang, it would be fine if the emperor doesn't find out. But once he finds out, the emperor will strike back hard. Everyone is depressed. In the past, someone tried to deal with Concubine Sun, but was discovered, and this was not the end. Why are they becoming more and more cruel now?

Obviously, the emperor loved Imperial Noble Consort Sun more, so he would not allow anyone to harm her.

How could people not feel depressed when they thought about how much the Emperor doted on Imperial Noble Consort Sun?

In fact, they didn't know that the emperor was scared to death when he saw everyone harming Linlang. He was now dependent on Linlang, so he was naturally afraid that Linlang would die in the palace fight. If Linlang was gone, who would he turn to for help with those annoying things in the court and the harem? The thought of having to solve all the problems by himself without Linlang...

Although he was not unable to solve the problem, it would be very difficult. Naturally, he had Linlang, the internal minister, to help him solve it, which made it much easier. Moreover, to be honest, the solution he came up with might not be as good as the one proposed by Linlang.

After all, he had compared things. If it were him, he would think about what he would do. After thinking it over, he would come to Linlang for advice. Then he found that Linlang's suggestions were much better than his own, and sometimes they were simply amazing.

For example, he once asked Linlang how to solve the border problem. He said that the Hu people in the north would go south to rob the grass and grain in winter, and would burn, kill and loot the people of the country at any time. It was useless to just guard the border. Is there a better solution?

He once thought that this method had no solution, because no one in every dynasty had been able to solve this problem. He was just asking casually until Linlang told him about the method of sheep eating people.

Well, the Hu people in the north are probably focusing on raising sheep now. There's nothing else. Woolen sweaters are popular in our dynasty. Everyone likes woolen sweaters and sheepskin coats. There are so many people in our dynasty, and I don't know how many sheep are needed to supply them.

The Hu people raised so many sheep, their income increased, and they could buy food from the south in winter. They no longer had to worry about starving to death. Their lives were better now. Who would want to go out and burn, kill, and loot? After all, that was a risky thing to do. When you can have a good life, who would want to live with their head on the line?

Although the enemy would not be so stupid as to raise fewer horses in order to make money, at least now that they have money, they don't want to earn that hard-earned money, which is normal.

What's more normal is that as time goes by, people become richer and richer, and those who are barefoot are no longer afraid of those who wear shoes, because they have also put on shoes and don't want to fight anymore. Over time, the border will be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability.

He perfectly solved the difficult problems proposed by him throughout the dynasties, which was much better than those strategists in ancient times. How could the emperor not admire Linlang?

Linlang is so good at solving problems, she is simply his nephew, so if someone wants to kill her, how can he tolerate it?

The emperor protected Linlang in this way, but outsiders didn't know that he was doing it to protect Linlang and solve his own problems. They just thought that the emperor loved Linlang even more.

The emperor was so dependent on Linlang that he naturally wanted to give her some benefits. If he hadn't thought it was too troublesome to enthrone a queen, he would have made Linlang the queen.

As for the emperor, although he did not make Linlang the empress because he thought it was troublesome, in order to make up for her, after Master Sun returned from mourning, he gave the Sun family's first wife a higher official position, which was considered a return of favor. Naturally, the Sun family heard that Linlang did not fall out of favor because of her age, but on the contrary, she became more and more favored, and she was both happy and worried.

Needless to say, she was happy. After all, it was a good thing that Linlang was favored.

But she was worried because she saw that the emperor was getting older year by year. She was afraid that the emperor would pass away one day and her grandson would not become the emperor. The new emperor's mother would cause trouble for Linlang or even the Sun family.

Because of this matter, Madam Sun once secretly asked Linlang what to do in the future.

Because Linlang would not say anything to Madam Sun in private, for fear of being suspected by the emperor of doing something wrong.

So when faced with Madam Sun's questioning, he told them to relax and let nature take its course, saying that there would always be a way out when the time came. He also said that they had not done anything illegal or criminal and there was no need to worry about the future.

Although Madam Sun did not understand Linlang's hint and did not realize that Linlang's words were meant to tell her that everything was fine and to relax, since Linlang was not afraid, Madam Sun was slightly relieved. She went back and told her what Linlang had said. When the people in the Sun family's main house heard that Linlang was not worried at all, they were also slightly relieved.

Over the years, they have understood that Linlang is a person with plans. Since she is not worried at all, there must be a reason why she is not afraid. In this case, then let's trust her again.

However, the concubines in the palace didn't know how Linlang became favored, and they couldn't help but feel restless.

Seeing how favored Linlang was, some people couldn't help but be tempted, and they tried every means to please Linlang. They wanted to find out from Linlang how Linlang was able to be favored, so that they could follow her example and be favored like Linlang.

Even if they can't compare to Linlang, they will be satisfied as long as they can have a little pampering.

They previously thought that the reason why Linlang was favored was because she was better in bed and attracted the emperor, so they also studied the skills hard, but it was of no use.

But now, Linlang is so old, and still favored. It is definitely not because of this reason that she attracted the emperor. After all, she is so old. No matter how good her bed skills are, the emperor can't favor her. At most, he understands her skills and teaches them to other younger and more beautiful concubines.

Just like the emperor had taught them some strange bed skills before.

If it wasn't because of her skills in bed, then why did Imperial Noble Concubine Sun attract the emperor and make him always like her?

Seeing them coming to inquire about the reason, Linlang shook her head speechlessly, thinking, could she tell these people that it was not what they thought? The emperor just came to talk to her.

I guess these people don't believe it either. After all, if you want to talk, do you need to come so many times? Isn't once a month enough?
But Linlang couldn't tell her that the emperor came to ask her about important state affairs. After all, every time the emperor asked her about important state affairs, he would send his attendants away, obviously not wanting people to know. In this case, she naturally couldn't tell this to anyone. In this way, if these people asked her about the truth of why she was favored, she naturally wouldn't be able to tell them.
