Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 1605 Demon Concubine 21
Concubine Liu couldn't help but be ecstatic to become the concubine of the fourth prince. She felt that her chance had come, so she was not satisfied with the status of the prince and concubine in the future. She would naturally participate in the battle for the position, thinking about the day If he succeeds, he will be able to trample An Ran and the concubines who were once more favored than him.

Emperor Yuanfeng thought she was honest and reliable, but he didn't expect her to be honest and reliable. It was just a persona pretended out of desperation, which was not the real temperament of the other party at all, so at this time, he naturally felt how this woman changed so fast. In fact, she didn't It's just that he has lost his sight.

Concubine Liu naturally doesn't know that her current behavior has ruined the honest and reliable person she established in the past, and angered Emperor Yuanfeng. She can't realize her wish; she will even try to live longer, trying to let her die first, so that she can't even be a prince and concubine, and has been living such a life in the palace.

If you want to know, maybe she will be more honest, of course, maybe not, because she will think like those ministers, Emperor Yuanfeng won't live that long, she has to fight for it.

An Ran is not interested in caring about the petty thoughts of Emperor Yuanfeng and the harem concubines. She has a lot to worry about now, such as the drought in the world, the affairs of Song Yuwen and others, and has no time to care about those insignificant things.

When Zhang's mother went to the palace to visit An Ran, An Ran asked her about the outside situation.

"How is the situation in several dry areas? Has it ever rained? Is the tax exemption and grain distribution all right? But there is something that didn't pass on His Majesty's tax exemption and grain distribution, and then the common people couldn't live. , what happened?"

Because frequent correspondence with the harem is not good, now An Ran sometimes directly asks Zhang's mother, Mrs. Zhang and others, and asks Zhang's father to bring in the information that is not important to investigate; write to her.

At this time, Mother Zhang listened to her inquiry and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, there has been a rain in some dry places recently. Although it is not very heavy, I heard that the reservoir built by His Majesty has accumulated some water. Hold on for a while, the tax exemption and food distribution are also progressing very well, there are fewer places to be fooled, so there are fewer places to cause trouble."

An Ran nodded, knowing that it is impossible not to be fooled at all, as long as there are fewer places to be fooled and less troubles.

Immediately, An Ran said: "Tell my father and my brothers and sisters that these things must be watched for a long time, lest His Majesty's kindness is not passed on, causing the people to live in hardship and causing great chaos, which is not something we can bear."

Although An Ran had said these words a long time ago, she would continue to tell them every time she saw them, so that they would forget or not take it to heart if they didn't say it a few times.

Zhang's mother and Mrs. Zhang's sisters-in-law have been repeatedly clarified by An Ran, Zhang's father and others for a long time. They know that if there is chaos outside, it will not be good for the Zhang family, so they always listen to what An Ran said. So now, after hearing An Ran's repeated emphasis, he didn't dare to take it seriously, and hurriedly said: "That's natural, everyone in the family knows the seriousness of the matter, and they have been sending people to watch it. Your father is very busy now. Receiving news from all over the world, I feel busier than ever when I was an official!"

This is true. In the past, Zhang’s father was an official, that is, he was an official of the Buddhist department. He did what the superiors told him to do. He drank tea with others and discussed poetry when he finished it. The day passed like this.

But now, since I accepted the few things An Ran explained, I haven't rested for a day. I have to receive news from various places every day, and then follow An Ran's instructions to give new instructions to various places.

The only good thing is that his daughter is capable, and she sends the instructions, so he only needs to execute them, and he doesn't have to worry about how to do them.

——Actually, it’s mainly these ordinary people who inquire about information. An Ran only needs to recruit people according to the conventional method, so with Zhang’s father’s ability, as long as he is obedient, An Ran can operate in the palace.

But those who need to spy on Song Yuwen and others’ illegal and criminal information are not something ordinary people can do. For this part of the people, how to get it, where to get it, An Ran doesn’t have a charter yet, there is no way, she is in the palace, It's really hard to find someone to do things when you're not outside.

In fact, it is not that there are no capable eunuchs in the palace. After years of investigations, she has selected some capable and loyal eunuchs to listen to and listen to, but... let these people investigate Song Yuwen, Ding Song and others...

How would she explain to them why she suddenly wanted to investigate these people for no reason?

One explanation is not good, in case there are those who are more loyal to the emperor than themselves, and tell the emperor about their suspicious movements, the emperor should not think that he has created a green grassland for him.

So even if you want to use the capable and loyal eunuchs you have picked out over the years, you have to have that opportunity, and you can't let them do these things suddenly.

The matter outside the palace has not been settled yet, and there is another matter in the palace today.

However, An Ran routinely used his spiritual sense to inquire about the situation in the palace this day, but found that Concubine Liu was in the palace of Concubine Gao, the concubine of the sixth prince, discussing how to deal with herself and concubine Song, the concubine of the third prince.

"Sister, I don't think it's okay if we don't join hands. We can't compare to Concubine Zhang Huanggui in terms of being favored; we can't compare to Concubine Song in terms of family background. It doesn't matter what we want. If we don't join forces and fight each other, we will definitely be beaten by them." The two cleaned up one by one, I don't think this is what my sister wants to see, right?" Concubine Liu went straight to the topic after turning away from the screen.

Concubine Liu has been in the palace for a long time, Concubine Gao came in later, Concubine Liu is more than ten years older than Concubine Gao, so she called herself like this at this time.

Seeing the sincerity of Concubine Liu's words, Concubine Gao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sister is right, we need to join hands."

Seeing that Concubine Liu wants to join forces with Concubine Gao, An Ran can also understand why Concubine Liu is working with Concubine Gao instead of Concubine Song, the mother of the third prince. The reason is very simple. The sixth prince is still too young to be feared, but the third prince is very old and very threatening, that's why he asked the sixth prince's mother and concubine Gao Concubine to cooperate; as for An Ran, as the biggest threat, it is naturally out of consideration middle.

As for the success of the cooperation, killing An Ran and the third concubine, she is not afraid of whether the six concubines will turn against them. Dealing with one is better than dealing with several, and it will always be profitable.

As for why Concubine Gao agreed to cooperate with Concubine Liu, it is even simpler - Concubine Gao's child is still so young, and she is not favored by her. If the court wants to establish a crown prince, her child is currently the most unlikely. Concubine Liu cooperates, and if she can get rid of the third and fifth princes, the chances of her child becoming emperor will increase, so this cooperation is also a good thing for her.
