Lonely non-good minister

"From the day you have a child, who doesn't plan for the child?" Xiao Shen answered calmly: "The imperial concubine always wants to dominate the queen. Isn't it also because the imperial concubine is too favored that I entered the palace? Does the Empress feel threatened? Because of the two legitimate sons, all the children had to move to the back row. Now the two legitimate sons have no hope of ascending to the throne. All the children are standing on the same line to compete. The Imperial Concubine I have three sons, if I don’t fight for them, I won’t be the imperial concubine I know.”

Concubine Li raised her head and looked at her: "You have always done things for the Queen. Her two children have no hope. Why don't your children take over? You misled me earlier and wanted to use the Queen's help to get rid of me. Didn't you just dislike us?" Mother and son are blocking your son’s way?”

"I am of the same race as the Queen. As long as we don't kill each other, we will always share weal and woe. It's not up to me to decide whether my child will become a candidate, but where can there be any free advantage in the world? This is clearly an inheritance. I have received a huge favor from the Empress, and the favor needs to be repaid." Xiao Shen looked distressed.

Concubine Li has always been a gossip, so she became interested after hearing these words: "It is unethical of you to take advantage of others and then pretend to be aggrieved."

"Does the imperial concubine think this is a benefit?" Xiao Shen asked back: "Now, the emperor suffered a stroke due to the recent death of Prince Ming Gong and his wife, and the two pillars of the court have almost collapsed. Even the second master is struggling to hold on. How long it will take to stabilize the situation is unknown.

The attitude of the masters is unclear, and the royal family is ready to make a move. At this time, my child is pushed out to take orders. If the overall situation can be stabilized in the end, it will naturally be the best. But if it cannot be stabilized, my child will be the first. A sacrificial knife man.

Taking a step back, even if the overall situation is stabilized, my child has already received it. No matter what requests the Queen makes in the future, she will be criticized if she fails to do so. The Imperial Concubine should know that people’s words can be ignored. The power of the four words "fear", so is this still a benefit? "

Concubine Li was silent for a moment. She knew very well what kind of person Empress Shen was. How could she let others take advantage of her in vain? Now that her own son could not be counted on, she turned to support Song Yuan. After things were settled, she would definitely Bring up old things again and ask Song Yuan for this or that.

If her biological children and grandchildren were still alive, it would be impossible for her to truly plan for Song Yuan. Song Yuan was destined to be so angry.

But she doesn't care about this. She is not the little Shen family, and she has no relationship of honor and disgrace with Queen Shen. If her son takes the throne, whether Queen Shen can enjoy the honor steadily depends on her mood. How can she give it to her? Did Queen Shen take advantage of her son?
"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there are always benefits." Concubine Li mocked.

"Does the imperial concubine know how many royal families are coming to Jingzhao now?" Xiao Shen didn't care about her ridicule at all, and continued to dominate the topic: "The people who came are all the royal children who are qualified to inherit the throne. Once you are all brothers and sisters, Killing each other, these people are here to reap the benefits."

Concubine Li twitched her lips: "Don't scare me. They are stationed and cannot leave without permission. How could they have the opportunity to kill each other? There are only two people in Jingzhao now, the second master and your son. They want to promote your son to the throne. So I hope others will support them. Only by showing support can your son be safe, right?"

"The imperial concubine is right." Xiao Shen admitted frankly: "Their brothers are all dependent on each other. Now, I need you to take a stand to protect my son, so that my son can in turn protect others." Li The imperial concubine was puzzled: "Song Yuan is still able to protect others?"

She smiled, her attitude clearly disdainful. Song Yuan didn't even have military power. How could a prince who was engaged in civil affairs compete with the royal family who had a lot of troops?
"The emperor has nine sons, eight of whom are in the army. Only my son is in charge of civil affairs and has made many achievements. He has a strong civil service foundation and reputation among the government and the public. No one can compare with this. Civil officials are not short of swordsmen and pens. Even if they are Those royal families have to think carefully if they want to provoke Wei Wenchen, so, does the noble concubine understand the value of my son?"

Concubine Li's taste showed some taste, but she was not willing to give in so easily and insisted: "The Wei Dynasty has always been a martial artist."

"When everyone competes with force, force is only rude. What's more, my son has the support of the northwest army and the northern army, and there are several local garrisons. If we really fight, we won't necessarily suffer a loss." Xiao Shen said the truth After finishing his talk, he directly said: "Furthermore, the noble concubine can ask herself, which of the three masters can accept the order in the face of danger?"

Concubine Li was dissatisfied, but did not speak immediately. Zhizi Mo Ruomu knew how much her three sons weighed. Although she was not convinced, she had to admit that Song Yuan was smarter than her three sons. All works well.

"Prince Ming Gong has been ill for such a long time, and the emperor has had a stroke for some time. I think the concubine should have sent the news a long time ago. I don't know what the three masters thought about it, but did you write a reply?" Xiao Shen continued Persuasion: "The three masters are not alone. As a father, you should think more steadily and long-term.

The imperial concubine is also a grandmother, and with so many grandchildren under her knees, she should understand how serious the consequences would be if a few gentlemen started fighting each other at this time. Even if they are motivated, they have to think things over in a down-to-earth manner. The three gentlemen are now all If they are not in Jingzhao, the concubine and the empress may have a different thought, which will be a blessing or a disaster for them. "

Concerning the safety of her children and grandchildren, Concubine Li's arrogant mind finally sobered up. After she pondered for a moment, she looked at Xiao Shen coldly: "Your son's ascension to the throne is not good for me. The queen has long been unable to tolerate our mother and son. Your son After receiving such a huge favor from her, there is no guarantee that I will not listen to her words and target us, mother and son."

"More than 20 years ago, the Empress could no longer tolerate the Imperial Concubine and her son, but didn't the Imperial Concubine allow her to tolerate it for so many years? She couldn't do anything to the Imperial Concubine while her parents and children were still alive, let alone now?" Xiao Shen vowed: " Besides, my son is qualified to accept this favor, and she has her own ability as the foundation."

Concubine Li then sat up straight and her attitude became much more correct: "It is true that the three brothers did not reply to my letter. I also know that they are not capable of sustaining such a situation. Although I hope that they can stand out and make me proud, it is even more I hope they are safe. If you can ensure that my children and grandchildren will not be liquidated in the future, I will not be unable to make decisions for them and support your son."

"There is no deep hatred between my son and you masters, so why should we settle the matter?" Xiao Shen understood her concerns. After all, after the emperors of the Wei Dynasty ascended the throne, the first thing they did was to get rid of their siblings.
