Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Afterwards, the emperor heard what Concubine Cai said, and just as Linlang had thought, he became angry, even furious, and demoted Concubine Cai from Concubine Cai to Noble Lady, a reduction of several levels.

That's right. As far as Linlang knows, the emperor is such a selfish person. He does whatever he wants. How could he accept the discipline of the concubines in the harem?

Everyone is watching the joke, but what about the person at the center of the joke, the former Concubine Cai, the current Concubine Cai? How does she react?
Needless to say, it was naturally fear to the extreme.

She also didn't expect that Empress Dowager Wu would directly tell the emperor what she said instead of raising it in Empress Dowager Wu's tone.

She thought that after she told Empress Dowager Wu, she would turn her words into her own ideas and tell the emperor, but she didn't expect that Empress Dowager Wu directly said that it was her suggestion.

Of course, even if Empress Dowager Wu said directly that it was her suggestion, she thought that the emperor would not do anything to her. After all, her suggestion was quite pertinent and even Empress Dowager Wu praised it. Logically, the emperor ruled the world with filial piety, so seeing the Empress Dowager Wu's praise, he would definitely listen. However, the emperor acted unexpectedly and did not listen at all.

He even scolded her, saying that her status was the same as that of an ordinary concubine, and that she had no right to control how the male master took concubines. She faced red with anger and was extremely embarrassed.

In fact, logically speaking, she is indeed no different from ordinary concubines. After all, she is not the queen, but just a member of the harem. What is the difference between her and ordinary concubines? She has no right to tell the male master what to do.

But she thought that the royal family was different. As a noble concubine, she had such a high status, so why couldn't she give the emperor some suggestions? After all, she didn't ask the emperor to do anything, she just gave some suggestions, so wasn't that okay?

Anyway, things had already happened, and she was laughed at by the whole palace, especially those concubines who were born as common girls and were offended by her. They kept laughing at her. Some people took advantage of her misfortune and ran to her door to mock her with what the emperor said, saying that she was just a concubine and dared to ask the emperor to do this and that. She was really angry when she heard it, but she was now a criminal and was put in solitary confinement. She did not dare to quarrel with others, so she could only listen to the ridicule and was angry to death, but there was nothing she could do.

In fact, many people in the palace have analyzed why Concubine Cai said that, and everyone understands that the other party probably wants to target Linlang. After all, no other civilian beauties have been promoted so quickly and so high, except Linlang, who has been promoted to Jieyushi and is about to be promoted to the master of a palace. If Concubine Cai's proposal is to succeed, the one who will be restricted is Linlang.

Many people in the palace did not want Linlang to be promoted. If Concubine Cai's proposal succeeded, they would naturally be happy, and some might even continue to agree with it.

But, didn’t this mean that she failed? So those who also wanted to restrict Linlang didn’t dare to speak up anymore, lest they also suffer the same fate as Concubine Cai, which would be bad.

However, this big disturbance in the palace had nothing to do with Linlang because Concubine Cai did not mention Linlang's name on the surface. Linlang continued to do her own things step by step and only watched the show occasionally.

Doing her own thing, Linlang was naturally promoted to Jieyushi, and had one more person to serve her. Then Ms. Zhang was promoted to the ninth-rank female official, and there was one more female historian under her. Linlang gave this female historian position to the second person who followed her.

Generally speaking, as long as the people assigned to Linlang by the superiors have no problems - meaning that they will not be secretly won over by others and stab Linlang in the back - Linlang will train them, so that when the time comes and they can be promoted, Linlang will naturally recommend them.

If the other party has problems, Linlang will usually find some reasons in advance to deal with the other party. She will not wait until the other party is upgraded and has one more person to serve her before sending him away, so as not to waste training time.

Although sometimes leaving someone else's spy behind can help you catch a big fish, there is no big fish for her to catch at the moment, so Linlang just cleaned it up. So no matter what, Linlang can upgrade the second person who serves her, and continue to be promoted in the future. There will be more female historians and female officials. As long as everyone's ability and loyalty are no problem, she will upgrade them in the same order, first come first served, but everyone has the opportunity to move up.

Ms. Zhang was naturally happy to see that Linlang continued to be promoted step by step, especially now that she had become a female official with a certain rank.

There are more people to manage, and the rank and various treatments have been improved again. Who wouldn't be happy? Female official Zhang felt that she could wake up with a smile in her dreams. She no longer had to worry about going home to get married and become a stepmother after she turned 25, nor did she have to worry about having a bad life in the palace. How wonderful was this?

However, as her position became higher and she was in charge of more people, she naturally had to manage them well to avoid any trouble, which would have been a waste of Linlang's cultivation.

Therefore, after being promoted, Lady Official Zhang warned her four subordinates to be alert and not to be tripped up by outsiders, which would affect Linlang.

Those four people naturally knew how powerful he was, so they would definitely agree.

Speaking of which, when Linlang's status was very low, the people sent to serve her would not do anything tricky, and they were all randomly assigned by the female officials. However, when Linlang's status became higher, especially when she became more and more favored, some people wanted to do something tricky around her, so some of the people sent to serve her started to do something tricky.

Fortunately, when the female official asked her to choose a new palace maid to serve her, it would not be possible for her to choose only one. Usually, twenty would be sent to her for her to choose from.

It is true that some people tampered with the information, but it is impossible that all twenty of them did so, so Linlang always picked those who had not been tampered with.

Even if all of them were tampered, she was now a concubine and had a certain say. She could ask the female officials to send new people over and she could continue to choose. As long as she gave some money to those female officials, they would not be annoyed and would pick another group of people for her to choose from.

If another batch is sent and you are still not satisfied, you can continue to choose - as long as you pay, the female officials will not bother you.

But at most she can pick the satisfactory people from the second batch, because once she doesn't want the people from the first batch, the people in the second batch, those who act secretly, will mostly not have time to rearrange their positions, so she can pick the right people.

So, she basically won't pick someone who has done something wrong.

However, even if you don't pick out the people who have done something fishy, ​​after they come in, they may be won over by others. In that case, there is no need to worry. As long as you find out that they have been won over by others, you can find a reason to send them away and then choose new ones to come in.

It is impossible that everyone can be won over by others. There must be some people who are clear-headed and will not be won over by others. (End of this chapter)
