Chapter 817: Many Cheats 138
However, Father-in-law Shen Yuanniang is only a fourth-rank official now. It is not easy for him to suppress the loyal and brave son of the Earl. After all, he has the support of the Earl's Mansion and is not an ordinary Jinshi. He cannot be suppressed at will, so her wish is doomed to fail.

Besides, the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion was born of military generals and had always wanted to squeeze into the civil service group, but all the sons in the family were useless and could not pass the imperial examination. Therefore, the Zhongyong Marquis's concubine, who passed the imperial examination at a young age many years ago, had always been the hope of the whole family. Unfortunately, he had not passed the imperial examination for many years. Originally, everyone in the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion was desperate and thought of just finding him an official of the fifth or sixth rank and letting him climb up slowly in the future.

But the son of the Loyal and Brave Earl insisted on not doing so, saying that he wanted to take the exam three more times. If he failed all three times, it would not be too late to be selected as an official again. After all, a family like theirs could afford to send their children to school.

After hearing this, Bo Zhongyong continued to fight with his son.

As a result, the concubine's son of the Marquis of Zhongyong finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Everyone in the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion was overjoyed and would of course do their best to support him in climbing up the civil service group. Even if Shen Yuanniang's husband's family wanted to suppress him, they would have to see whether the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion was willing to do so.

No matter how he was born into a military family, he was from a family of nobility and had a certain status and strength. How could he be suppressed by Shen Yuanniang's husband's family who had just risen to power? Even if Shen Yuanniang's husband's father-in-law could become a third-rank official in the future, that was a matter for the future. At least it was unlikely that they could suppress the loyal and brave bodhisattva's son now.

And things turned out just as Linlang had expected. The son of the Loyal and Brave Earl soon became a high-ranking official in the capital and was promoted very quickly. Shen Yuanniang's husband's family wanted to suppress him, but obviously failed.

And Shen Yuanniang's husband's family is also continuing to rise, which is also normal. Concubine Wang is now the most favored one. As the family of Concubine Wang's niece's wife, they can naturally get Concubine Wang's care, and it is normal for them to be promoted quickly.

Of course, in addition to their rapid promotions, they also naturally became part of Concubine Wang's faction and automatically sided with Concubine Wang's son. After all, with their backgrounds, it was impossible for them not to side with Concubine Wang's son.

However, all of this had already been decided when Shen Yuanniang's husband's family was planning to marry their daughter to Concubine Wang's nephew. After all, if they hadn't planned to side with Concubine Wang's son, they wouldn't have married their daughter to Concubine Wang's nephew. So Shen Yuanniang's husband's family had no objection to standing on Concubine Wang's side.

In fact, they were very willing to stand on the side of Concubine Wang's son. Since Concubine Wang was so favored, her son had a great chance of ascending to the throne. So they were naturally willing to stand on the side of Concubine Wang's son. They felt that by following Concubine Wang, they had a great chance of succeeding in becoming the emperor. If they succeeded in becoming the emperor, they would be able to enter the cabinet and become extremely powerful.

Without mentioning what Shen Yuanniang's husband's family thinks, it can be said that in recent years, around Linlang, probably only Shen Yuanniang's matter is a bit lively, and the others are very ordinary.

Therefore, apart from letting the robots kill the souls of the time travelers, Linlang's main focus is still on those who intend to force the emperor to abdicate.

I have to say that these years, these people have become more and more fully prepared. From the beginning, they had no military power at all, but now, many of them have colluded with the Beijing Camp and the Imperial Guards, and are slowly able to control the capital and the palace. If they want to force the emperor to abdicate, they will most likely succeed.

And Concubine Wang was obviously ignorant of all these things. Her favorite concubine system was probably a pure favorite concubine system. She was made to be beautiful and magnificent to make the emperor obsessed with her. The most she could do was to provide protection for her and her children and prevent anything from happening to her and her children. Other abilities, especially the ability of reconnaissance, seemed to be lacking.

Otherwise, if Concubine Wang had the ability of reconnaissance, she would not have failed to notice the ministers' little tricks.

In fact, when Concubine Wang was fighting in the palace before, she relied on the detoxification and defense given by the system, and then slowly found the murderer. Anyway, she couldn't die. Under this premise, she had plenty of time to find the murderer, and the murderer sometimes couldn't wait, and she would naturally find it once he made a move. If Concubine Wang's favorite concubine system had only such ability, it would be normal for it to be destroyed by those ministers in the future. After all, this system can indeed make the emperor like her, be obsessed with her, and listen to her, but she has no power of her own. This kind of favor is a castle in the sky. Once someone forces the emperor to abdicate and kills him, she will be in trouble.

But the prince who forced the emperor to abdicate and those ministers did not get anything good either. Linlang estimated that Concubine Wang's system provided her with amazing defense or self-protection capabilities, so something happened to the other party after forcing the emperor to abdicate - it is very likely that when they wanted to kill Concubine Wang and her children, something unexpected happened, and in the end Prince Anjiang got the advantage.

Just when things were getting turbulent on all sides, the emperor was preparing to depose the empress.

This was actually expected by everyone.

Since the emperor doted on Concubine Wang so much, he must have wanted to make her son the crown prince.

However, Concubine Wang's son was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son. No matter whether he was the legitimate son or the eldest son, he had nothing to do with it. If the emperor wanted to make him the legitimate son, the ministers in the court would definitely oppose it.

Therefore, if the emperor wanted to naturally make Concubine Wang's son the crown prince, he had to depose the queen first.

As long as the queen is no longer the queen, her son will no longer be the legitimate son. Then, if Concubine Wang is made queen, her son will automatically become the legitimate son. It will be natural to make her son the crown prince.

If the queen is not deposed, then her son must be demoted to a commoner. Anyway, one of these two must be deposed.

After all, the son was his own child, and he still had some feelings for him, so the emperor planned to depose the queen first. If the resistance was too great and he could not succeed, then he would depose the queen's son and make her son a bastard, where the resistance would be smaller. After all, as a father, it was natural for him to depose his son as a commoner.

Although he had some feelings for his son, in his heart, it was more important to make Concubine Wang's son the crown prince, so when necessary, he had to sacrifice his son.

Needless to say, when the emperor wanted to depose the queen, the ministers naturally rose up in opposition.

Those who opposed it were mainly the Queen's supporters, because other people, especially those who supported other princes, might wish that the Emperor would depose the Queen. Even if the Queen was deposed, the person who would be made Crown Prince afterwards would not be the prince they supported. But at least, with the Queen gone, the prince they supported would have the possibility of becoming Emperor. Otherwise, as long as the Queen was around, her son would normally be the future Emperor, and then everyone would have no chance at all. Therefore, not everyone opposed the Emperor deposing the Queen. Some people were happy to see it happen.

Although most ministers opposed it, the emperor was determined to depose the queen, and no one could do anything about it.
