Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 3241 Harem 44
But if Liu Shoufu's political opponents did this, he wouldn't be able to find trouble with him, at most he could only get angry a few times.

But Liu Shoufu's political opponents didn't know about it at all, so naturally they wouldn't admit it.

But it doesn't matter whether the other party admits it or not, because Liu Shoufu feels that the other party deliberately did not admit it, not because he didn't know.

Anyway, now that the two sides are evenly matched, it will be difficult for Liu Shoufu to suppress the other party. After all, the other party is not a vegetarian, and Liu Shoufu can still be suppressed by Liu Shoufu evenly.

Liu Shoufu was powerful before, because the new emperor was supported by Liu Shoufu, and the empress also belonged to the Liu family. Many people felt that Liu Shoufu had a bright future, so they all ran to join Liu Shoufu's family.

But now, many people have heard that Empress Liu is domineering in the palace, the emperor does not like Empress Liu, and has another favorite concubine. In addition, Empress Liu has never given birth to a son in the middle palace, and her future future is uncertain. Evenly matched, it will be difficult for Liu Shoufu to use the support of the emperor and the power of his daughter as the queen to attract more people to join him.

And this is his chance, how could he let Liu Shoufu take back the lost share of power.

Speaking of it, this is because the situation in the palace is different from before, and it has brought me benefits. Otherwise, the emperor would still support Liu Shoufu as he did when he first came to the throne, and then Empress Liu would also be favored. Stabilize this share of power.

So it can be said that time is fate, and Liu Shoufu's good luck seems to be coming to an end.

The situation in the former dynasty affects the situation in the harem.

Liu Shoufu lost power, almost as powerful as his political opponents now, and the emperor trembled, not to mention Empress Liu, he didn't even go to Empress Liu's place on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, only went to An Ran's.

Don't think it's because of favoring An Ran, it's just that the emperor wanted to use An Ran to anger Empress Liu. After all, up to now, this fucking emperor has never slept with An Ran. It's really not like this.

——Actually, the emperor has a little affection for An Ran now, so he can be truly favored. It’s just that... he has never been favored before, but he declared his favor to the outside world. Now that the emperor wants to really favor him, how should he explain to An Ran? one thing?

This incident embarrassed the emperor, so the emperor didn't know how to deal with the relationship with An Ran, so he simply maintained the previous state.

It's just that this thought only existed in the emperor's mind, he never told anyone about it, so An Ran didn't know about it.

It's normal for the emperor to do this, because now that An Ran's power has risen anyway, Empress Liu can't do anything to An Ran. In this way, it is most suitable to use An Ran to anger Empress Liu. After all, using other people, the opponent's power is too powerful It's too bad, the emperor still has to worry about using the other party, which will make the other party lose his life.

Although he is the emperor, it is an honor to die for the emperor, but today is not the kind of tyrant who would not intentionally kill people unless he had to.

But using An Ran, there is no need to worry about these at all, and An Ran is favored like this, and it will make Empress Liu even more angry.

In fact, just after Liu Shoufu suffered successive setbacks and his power was greatly reduced, and the emperor didn't need to pay too much attention to Empress Liu's face, the emperor promoted An Ran to a noble concubine. to the Queen.

In addition, Yu Fu was also bestowed the title of Viscount.

The reason why the title was given was not to be promoted, but because Yu's father did not pass the Jinshi examination, and there was a threshold limit for further promotion. Since he could not be promoted to an official position, then he should be given the title, so that the grade will also go up.

The viscount is a fourth rank, and now his father and mother are walking outside, he is a fourth rank, and belongs to the upper middle class in Beijing.

Moreover, there is still room for further improvement of the title. After all, the emperor cannot give it to him in one step. He is only a fourth-rank viscount at the moment, and he can be promoted to a third-rank earl, second-rank marquis, etc. in the future.

There is another advantage of the title, the viscount can descend to the next generation, that is to say, the sons of Yu's father and mother are also guaranteed, unlike before, although Yu's father has been promoted, if the son has no future, the son will have no future , It's all right now, and there will be a baron leading him at the end of the day.

Yu father and mother see that their family also has a title, although it is only a lower title, but at least they have a title, and An Ran is still developing, and the future can be expected.

I can't help but talk about it when I'm chatting.

"The Empress Dowager's natal family has a title, and we have it too. Although it's a bit lower, we can still be promoted in the future. The gap between our two families is finally getting smaller and smaller," Father Yu said.

Mother Yu nodded: "Isn't that right, before the empress didn't enter the palace, our family was in front of Cheng'en Gong's mansion, so we didn't have a place to talk, and we had to please them, for fear that if we didn't do so well, we'd be troubled. It's all right now, the empress is favored in the palace, we don't have to curry favor with them, and even dare to tear ourselves apart, in the future we may be able to sit on an equal footing with them."

Father Yu nodded, and said: "Take it easy, now we are just looking at how to let the girl give birth to a prince. Without a prince, it is always unsafe."

Mother Yu saw that there was no one around, so she said softly to Father Yu: "Sir, tell me, is there something wrong with His Majesty? Your Majesty is not only fond of your wife, but also of other people. How come no one is pregnant for so many years? "

Father Yu frowned and said, "It shouldn't be. Didn't the Queen conceive before?"

Yu Mu said: "It's not that His Majesty is not good at all, but that there is something wrong."

When Father Yu heard this, he said, "If it's really a problem with His Majesty, then our family has to find a way quickly and prepare for the worst."

Mother Yu sighed, nodded, and said, "That's right. If that's the case, it's best to ask the empress to help our family find a higher title. Even if we can't have a prince by then, we will earn a future in the future. The family has a lot of money." It’s not bad to get a better title.”

Father Yu said: "Look first, let's talk when we really reach that step, lest we make a request before we reach that step, Your Majesty will think that our family is greedy, or you will be unhappy, anyway, Your Majesty has a plan in mind, we don't need to mention it, we will." Give us a title."

Yu Mu secretly thought the same thing, the emperor had remembered them all these years and had given them a lot of benefits, so he didn't continue talking about it right now.

In fact, not only the father and mother were worried about the emperor's situation, but the emperor himself was also worried.

An Ran wasn't pregnant, the emperor knew why, because they didn't have intercourse, but he had intercourse with other concubines, why didn't any of these people get pregnant?After so many years, it shouldn't be.

Empress Liu was not pregnant, and he knew why, because he hated Empress Liu more and more over the years, and occasionally when he had to have intercourse with Empress Liu, he would drink a medicine before intercourse to inhibit sperm motility.

In order to prevent the medicine from being useless, I also listened to the advice of the imperial physician and specially chose to have intercourse when a woman is not easy to conceive, so Empress Liu was not pregnant, which is normal.
