Chapter 220 The Toad

Concubine Rong Gui shook her head and said: "People say that the emperor has a courtier, but the emperor has only been on the throne for five years, and he is still a courtier before. In the past, any glorious family was not willing to send their daughters to the palace. , unless you enter the palace to become a concubine, otherwise, who wants to suffer? It’s just how many years have passed now? These courtiers are scrambling to send their pampered daughters into the palace, why bother?”

The empress dowager said indifferently: "The emperor has only ascended the throne not long ago, and he has never been appointed as a prince before. He has insufficient contacts and deep roots. Who doesn't want their daughter to give birth to a prince for the emperor, and then be established as a prince? My daughter is a concubine. After the conferment, the emperor is weak, so the whole family of relatives will rise up, and it is not impossible to meet a hegemonic and ambitious one, holding the crown prince and making the emperor take control of the government."

"At first, it was just a few ambitious people doing this, but gradually it became a trend, and everyone was proud to marry their daughters into the harem. Alas, this harem is getting bigger and bigger, but it's dead, no, it's not dead, even the emperor Not favored, they still fight to the death, it's really annoying."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "We didn't come here in the same way at the beginning? It's just that we fought for it with a goal."

"You are different from us, I haven't seen you fight for anything." Concubine Ronggui said.

"That's because the Ai family has seen through it. What can't be seen through? What about the struggle? Ai's family will not be able to leave the palace in this lifetime. No matter what their status is, they still have three meals and one night. Life should be simpler."

"That's right!" Concubine Rong Gui recalled that when An Ran was born, didn't she fight and plot like this?In order to make Yun Gang the crown prince, she tried all means and almost killed Ye Er and An Ran, but fortunately Wen Yi woke her up.

So what the empress dowager said was right, Wen Yi was really their family's lucky star, benefactor.

Although Song Yunqian played with the children, all the conversations between the two old people fell into his ears.

He had never cared about this throne. What attracted him most about the throne at the beginning was that Wen Yi would become the empress.

What makes people laugh and cry is that he became the emperor, but Wen Yi did not become the queen.

This is how it should be, it cannot be reversed.

He no longer dared to fight against the destiny, fearing that once he fought, his loved ones would leave one by one.

Chen Yuzhu, Luo Yi, Luo Fan, Qing'er, Ke'er, although some of them didn't matter to him, they all died because of him.

Even Zhong Zheng, who was loyal to the royal family, died because of him.

Enough is enough, he has had enough lives on his back, and he can't bear Wen Yi anymore.

If he had to choose, he would rather keep his own place like this, and dare not put Wen Yi in danger again.

The emperor never paid much attention to bearing human life, let alone take it to heart, but maybe it was because of his personality, or maybe it was because he spent too much time with Wen Yi, life was very precious in his eyes, let No one shall be intentionally harmed.

He has no intention of hurting the concubines in the harem, so he hasn't touched them so far. Since he can't afford it, don't provoke them.

He couldn't refuse their father and brother to send them to the palace. Concubine Rong Gui was right. At first it was just a few ambitious veterans who wanted to control him, but gradually, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to follow suit, as if they It is a great honor for your daughter to enter the palace.

He needs time, at least three years.

When Zhu Fangyuan returned to Beijing to worship his ancestors three years ago, he told him a story about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although he did not know who Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was, this story was very educational to him. Zhu Fangyuan said, In the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Dou Yifang brutally interfered in the government for many years, and only let go when she was dying.

Zhu Fangyuan also said that if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty insisted on confronting the Empress Dowager that day, he would have been abolished long ago. How could there be the glory of the Han Dynasty?
Now, he is also facing the same situation. Although he has the foundation of his relatives, the relatives are already too weak, and there are too many hegemonic officials in the court, and the elders of the three dynasties will not retreat, and they will use the ancestral code to suppress him at every turn. Forbear for the time being.

But forbearance will eventually break out one day, he has been waiting for an opportunity.

Only when he wants to take all the military power back will he make trouble.

But how easy is it to seize military power?With the legal system of the ancestors, if he forcibly seized power, he would be in trouble with his ancestors, and the royal doctor has the right to impeach the emperor.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Chonglou couldn't help but tugged at his sleeve and asked in a daze when he saw him playing suddenly.

Song Yunqian restrained his mind, squatted down and said with a smile: "No, I was wondering why your mother didn't enter the palace for so long?"

"Hurry up to see the doctor." Jing Mo said.

Whenever Wen Yi was not at home, she would go to see the doctor. The twins were already used to it.

Song Yunqian reached out and stroked Jing Mo's face, and smiled, but he was thinking about how to announce to the world that he had two children.

However, he has some selfishness, and he is not willing to choose Chonglou as a candidate for the crown prince. Not everyone is suitable for the profession of emperor. To be emperor, one has to give up a lot of things.

"Why are you busy making doctor visits? Mom won't be visiting now." Chonglou said, "Daddy is the emperor, and the emperor has a lot of money, so there is no need for mother to go out to make money."

Jing Mo's eyes widened, "Really? Do you have a lot of money to be an emperor? Then I will be an emperor in the future."

The empress dowager laughed when she heard this, "Baby, you are a girl, you can't be an emperor, if you want to do it, you should do it again."

Chonglou waved his hand, "I won't do it, I will be a doctor in the future."

Concubine Rong Gui said strangely: "Hey, now, both sides really have successors. Jingmo is the female emperor, and Chonglou is a doctor. Isn't this inheriting the mantle of your parents?"

"What is a mantle?" Jing Mo and Chong Lou asked in unison.

"The mantle is..." Concubine Rong Gui tapped her head, "Oh, the Ai family doesn't like to explain these things, whoever understands should explain, or Wan Niang, you can explain."

Wan Niang said with a smile: "You don't understand, but no one dares to understand. If a concubine doesn't understand, how can a servant girl dare to understand?"

Concubine Ronggui laughed so hard, "Look at this old lady, she has been with the Empress Dowager for so many years, and even the Ai family dares to make fun of Mai Tai."

"Your servant dare not, your servant is guilty!" Wan Niang pleaded guilty with a smile.

"Come on, the Ai family can't afford to offend the people around the old queen." Concubine Rong Gui looked at Jing Mo, "Baby Jing Mo, do you really want to be the emperor?"

Jing Mo tilted his head and thought for a while, "I don't know, or I should be a doctor and let my brother be the emperor."

"I don't want it, I don't want it, the master said, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, sister, you are good or bad."

"The godfather said that the words of the master are not trustworthy, and the master wants to marry the mother, he is a bad person."

Song Yunqian's head thumped, "Master wants to marry mother? Who is Master?"

"Master is mother's patient, and also our master, who taught us to read and write." Chong Lou pulled Song Yunqian's sleeve and said in a low voice, "However, Godfather said that Master is a toad, a monster."

"monster?"

"Yes, godfather said he wanted to eat swan meat, he is a monster, let us not learn from the master." Chonglou said.

Jing Mo asked Song Yunqian, "Daddy, is there really a toad spirit?"

Song Yunqian snorted coldly, "Of course, that master is a life-or-death toad!"
