Chapter 541 The Abandoned First Wife 10
The power of the two of them is definitely stronger than that of Queen Mother Qian alone, and they can deal with Concubine Liu better. This is why Queen Mother Qian deliberately leaked the matter to Queen Sun. The reason for knowing, otherwise it would not necessarily be known based on Queen Sun's manpower alone.
How did Queen Sun add fuel to the flames?
It’s also very simple.
He sent someone to deliberately tell Concubine Liu about Concubine Liu's power in the palace in front of Queen Mother Fang and her niece Fang Concubine, making them hate Concubine Liu even more.
In this palace, only Empress Dowager Fang's aunt and nephew may not be afraid of Concubine Liu. After all, they are the emperor's closest relatives and naturally have the emperor as a powerful backer, so how can they be afraid of Concubine Liu.
Especially Concubine Fang, who is young and easy to fool, has been deceived by Empress Sun, and has caused trouble for Concubine Liu several times, making Concubine Liu hate Concubine Fang to death.
Concubine Liu saw that her power could not expand, and she saw that Concubine Fang was causing trouble for the world, and she couldn't help but get angry.
Concubine Liu didn't have enough brains to think of a solution. She immediately asked her father Liu Shoufu what to do about this matter. After all, if Song Shanggong was replaced, the other party would defect to Queen Mother Fang and let herself If you can't move, then you can't do it at all.
After listening to Concubine Liu’s words, Liu Shoufu said: “Don’t worry, they will know each other.”
He doesn't have to do anything to these families. He just gives some benefits to the female officials in the palace who have surrendered to them, and to their family members outside the palace. For example, those who are officials are promoted; those who are doing business are given some benefits. take care of.
As for the family members of the female officials who did not seek refuge with the Liu family, although Liu Shoufu did not do anything to their families, the Liu family spread news to the outside world to let people know that they were not Liu Shoufu's people, and were even enemies of the Liu family. Therefore, if there are officials in the family, they cannot be promoted; no one in the family dares to do business with them, for fear of offending Liu Shoufu by associating with them.
Soon, this group of people couldn't stand it anymore.
You know, since these people became female officials and gained some status, they have all supported their parents' families.
If the natal family is out of town and brings them to Beijing, and then lets the children of the family study, it will be good if they can read. If they can't read, they can also find something in the Yamen that can be done without taking the imperial examination. It's like being a small official or something like that.
Some people do not enter officialdom, but do business.
No matter what the situation is, living a good life depends on having a girl at home who is a female official in the palace.
Now, because their family members offended Liu Shoufu in the palace, they were targeted. Naturally, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they sent messages to the people in the palace, asking them not to offend the Liu family. , saying that Liu Chief Assistant was in a high position, how could they dare to offend the Liu family.
Yes, Queen Mother Fang is also a good choice. After all, King Qi has become the emperor. As the biological mother of King Qi, she naturally has a status, but in terms of power, she is not as powerful as the Liu family, and the Fang family is In that case, it would be unreliable to rely on her.
As for the Empress Dowager Qian’s family, they do have some status, but the emperor in the palace now is not the biological son of the Empress Dowager Qian, so it is conceivable that for a long time to come, if the children of the Empress Dowager Qian’s mother-in-law have little future, the Qian family It is about to decline. In this case, it is naturally no match for the Liu family.
Under such circumstances, there is no benefit in continuing to follow the Qian family, so why not join the Liu family? You must know that the Liu family is in full swing right now.
After such an exchange between the inside and outside, many people who were former Empress Dowager Qian changed their minds and took refuge with Concubine Liu after taking refuge with Empress Dowager Fang.
Since they have taken refuge in Concubine Liu, it’s okay not to replace them. And there is another advantage. They took refuge in secret, and neither Queen Mother Fang nor Queen Mother Qian knew about it. In this way, these two people thought they were their people, but in fact they were already Concubine Liu's people. This pair of Concubine Liu, in fact, is something better.
Concubine Liu couldn't help but be happy to see her father take action and quickly solve her troubles.
The manpower issue has been solved. As for Concubine Fang's trouble with her, it doesn't matter. His Majesty doesn't like this woman, so what is she afraid of?
This fight between a few people turned the palace upside down, and everyone was in danger, fearing that they would be involved in a fight. When the time came, they would be fine, but the little people involved would become cannon fodder.
Looking at this fight, how should I put it, from the series of things these people did, Linlang felt that none of these people could be considered a good person.
First let’s talk about Concubine Liu.
Although this world allows three wives and four concubines, so she wants to be her little wife even though she knows that King Qi has a wife. There is no problem. In this era, it is not considered a good character.
However, if you want to be a concubine, just be a concubine. If you still want to seize the position of the head wife, want to be the queen mother in the future, and want your son to be the emperor in the future, and yet you will arrange your own power and seize other people's territory as soon as you enter the palace, there is no problem. , then it doesn’t make sense, because Not to mention that according to modern rules, Concubine Liu's behavior must be rubbish. Even according to the rules of this era, it is also rubbish. After all, in this era, no one said that a concubine would steal the status of the first wife and the inheritance rights of the legitimate son. Correct.
The second is Queen Mother Fang.
Empress Dowager Fang hates that Concubine Liu will affect the prosperity of her natal family, and feels that she should not enter the palace. This is also problematic. After all, it is an agreement reached between your son and others. What's the matter? As soon as he goes ashore, he wants to burn the bridge. ?
And Queen Sun.
She hates all women and makes trouble for them secretly. She seems innocent, but don’t forget that in this era, three wives and four concubines are legal. Since she is the queen, she should know that in the palace, It is almost impossible to think that she is the only woman.
She knew that other women existed legally, but she secretly hindered these women and provoked them to fight with each other. She was not a good person.
You must know that those people are not interested in her yet. After all, those women do not have children yet. They must at least have children and be qualified to compete with the queen's son in the future before they will approach the queen. Before that, , wouldn’t it be a fool to offend the queen first?
However, she had already dealt with them before others messed with her, so Empress Sun could not be said to be a good person.
As for Queen Mother Qian, some people may say that she is a good person. After all, she was robbed of her territory. She is a victim and a good person.
But in fact, it stands to reason that when Queen Sun entered the palace, she should have transferred all affairs to Queen Sun. The owner of the harem is Queen Sun. As the Queen Mother, she should only enjoy her old age in Cining Palace. The personnel changes have nothing to do with her.
But she openly handed over the Phoenix Seal to Empress Sun, but secretly she did not hand over the power. Empress Sun wanted to change people, but some people couldn't be replaced. Naturally, this was Empress Dowager Qian who was doing something secretly, because she didn't want to lose everything. Power, she knew that if she lost her power in the palace, she would be crushed by others, so she didn't want to give up her power.
But logically, after she retreats, she should no longer think about power.
So the Empress Dowager Qian who did not return the money could not be said to be a good person.
