Chapter 150
At that time, in the court of Dongling, Su Xiang almost covered the sky with one hand, and the person Su Xiang wanted to support wholeheartedly was Su Guifei's son, his own grandson.

Empress Wenzhuang was pregnant, and no one was really happy except herself and Emperor Xuanren.

Empress Wenzhuang knew this better than anyone else.

Faced with Bo Yun's treacherous court and harem, Emperor Xuan Ren was too benevolent to be manipulated by his courtiers, and Empress Wenzhuang could not fully believe it.

And her mother's family, her father and brother had already died in battle, leaving her mother and a young nephew alone, which could not provide her with any help.

Empress Wenzhuang, she can only rely on herself.

"Huang'er might as well come and guess, how did Empress Wenzhuang protect Prince Huizhao?" Emperor Xiwu looked at Ye Shuhuang, smiled, and asked.

Ye Shuhuang lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time before slowly raising her head, a little uncertain: "Civet cat for the prince?"

Emperor Xiwu nodded appreciatively: "Although this example is not appropriate, it does mean that."

Empress Wenzhuang knew better than anyone else that even if Prince Huizhao was born by her, there would still be countless dangers in the future.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

When people are always distracted, Empress Wenzhuang cannot guarantee that she can protect the weak newborn child all the time.

Therefore, Queen Wenzhuang is going to solve the problem from the source.

In the middle of the night when Empress Wenzhuang gave birth, after learning that she was giving birth to a prince, she switched the little prince with a newborn boy.

The little prince was secretly taken out of the palace, and the baby boy became the incomparably noble son of the middle palace, and became a thorn in the side of many people.

Soon, the little prince suddenly developed a high fever, and before the imperial doctor could arrive in time, the little prince lost his breath.

Emperor Xuanren was heartbroken, and immediately decreed that the little prince who was less than a month old should be named Prince Huizhao.

Since then, the real little prince has been completely safe.

For the innocent baby boy who became a pawn to protect her own child, Queen Wenzhuang felt guilty, but it was only for a while.She has more important things to do.

Empress Wenzhuang had already sent someone to keep an eye on Concubine Su Gui. As soon as the little prince died, she followed the clues to find Concubine Su Gui's palace.

Murdering the concubine of Zhonggong is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan.

No matter how kind and loving his temperament was, Emperor Xuanren at this time could not tolerate Su Xiang's presumptuousness.

But when Emperor Xuanren was about to deal with Su Xiang, he found out sadly that Su Xiang had already lost power to the government and the public, and in the court hall of Dongling, his words often carried less weight than Su Xiang.

When Emperor Xuanren was arguing with Prime Minister Su at court, news came from the harem that Empress Wenzhuang sent someone to execute Concubine Su Lingchi to death.

In front of all the palace people, he was cut with a knife until he died.

Empress Wenzhuang's approach directly frightened the ministers in the court.

Su Xiang and his party wanted to say that Empress Wenzhuang was vicious, but later found that this reason was really untenable.

Facing the pain of bereavement, Empress Wenzhuang did nothing wrong. No matter how powerful Concubine Su is, no matter how powerful the Su family behind her is, she is just a concubine who killed Prince Huizhao and was treated uncleanly by Wen. Empress Zhuang grasped the handle and was doomed to die.

Even if Su Guifei is behind Su Xiang, Su Xiang will abandon Su Guifei's daughter in order to block the mouths of everyone in the world.

In the eyes of the Dongling courtiers, Empress Wenzhuang was virtuous and kind, but after the death of Prince Huizhao, she showed a ruthless and decisive side, which directly shocked the concubines who were ready to move in the harem at that time.

The harem and the former court have always been one and are inextricably linked, and the stability of the harem has made the former court much calmer.

At that time, Empress Wenzhuang was in a difficult situation. Xuan dragged her sick body and could only get rid of one concubine Su Gui, but could not hurt the Su family at all.

After Empress Wenzhuang's health gradually improved, Emperor Xuan Ren's body couldn't hold on, and he collapsed all of a sudden.

Before he died, he made a decree to make his only son the new emperor and Empress Wenzhuang to be regent.Before the new emperor was in power, all major national military affairs were decided by Empress Wenzhuang.

A generation of benevolent monarchs passed away.

Emperor Xuanren reigned for more than eleven years. During his reign, he emphasized the economy and despised taxes, and the corvee and military services were greatly reduced.

However, Emperor Xuanren advocated civil governance and despised military affairs, and valued civil servants over military generals. As a result, during his more than ten years in power, there were only a handful of military generals in the Tangling Dynasty who were capable of fighting, and Tangling's military strength was no longer as good as in the past.

For the courtiers, he was too tolerant and benevolent. It can be said that Su is quite powerful, and Emperor Xuanren pampered him step by step.

But in any case, Emperor Xuanren's achievements are obvious to all, and most of the evaluations of later generations are that the merits outweigh the losses.

Emperor Xuanren was a real gentleman, but not a wise emperor.

Concubine Su's son ascended the throne as the new emperor, fulfilling Prime Minister Su's wish, but Empress Wenzhuang knew that Prime Minister Su's ambition was more than just that.

A minister of power is unwilling to be a minister of power forever.

Empress Wenzhuang needed to deal a fatal blow to Su Xiang when his ambitions were completely exposed.

Empress Wenzhuang sent her child to Prince Jing's mansion, and named him Zhiheng as Prince Jing's child.

"Prince Jing suddenly had a child, didn't it arouse others' suspicion?" Ye Shuhuang couldn't help asking.

When she read the history books, it was recorded that at that time Prince Jing and his concubine had a very strong relationship, they had made a vow to be a couple for the rest of their lives, they didn't have a concubine, and suddenly they had an extra son, how could it not attract the attention of others.

Emperor Xiwu smiled: "You are the son of my Xiwu ancestor's house slave, how did you get the reputation of low status? Everything is in the plan of Empress Wenzhuang."

In the eyes of the world, although Ye Zhiheng is the son of the prince, his biological mother is a lowly maidservant who climbed on the bed to seduce the lord and betray the mistress.

As for why Empress Wenzhuang made such an arrangement, Ye Shuhuang thought, she could probably guess to a certain extent.

At that time, Prince Jing and his wife were the only ones that Empress Wenzhuang could trust and protect Ye Zhiheng from growing up safely.

As for why Ye Zhiheng had to be kept in the capital, and had to be related to the royal family, probably Empress Wenzhuang was not reconciled either.

A child who is not reconciled to being enthroned as emperor may eventually become a commoner who does nothing.

Empress Wenzhuang thought, leaving Ye Zhiheng in the capital and being raised by Prince Jing and his wife, her child would never grow up to be a mediocre person.

But before Ye Zhiheng was ten years old, Empress Wenzhuang never met him once, and she never deliberately inquired about Ye Zhiheng.

Empress Wenzhuang is so cautious, she can't leave the slightest flaw for herself, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.
