Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 540 Chaoge
After Zishou ascended the throne, Jiang Yue became the queen; and Jiang Yue was infertile for three years, and she was pregnant for three years.

Because she was pregnant, Zishou couldn't get close and lost her proper married life. So when Zishou ascended the throne, he accepted Huang Gong's daughter and Huang Feihu's sister as concubines;

Right now, I'm choosing my concubine again—I first chose my concubine, because I heard that the grand master was in the court, so he still restrained himself; now it's doing it vigorously.

Manchu civil and military officials didn't think there was anything wrong.Zishou is a king, and of course it is impossible for a king to have only three or two wives and concubines; if he wants his heirs to prosper, he must accept more concubines.

At this time in the palace, Queen Jiang Yue was meditating.Then I heard that Concubine Huang was visiting.

He came out to see Concubine Huang and sat down separately.Jiang Yue said, "Why did Sister Huang come to my place?"

Concubine Huang said: "The king wants to accept a concubine again, so the queen doesn't care?"

Jiang Yue said with a smile: "The king is a king, and accepting concubines is justified."

Concubine Huang sneered and said: "It's only natural for the king to accept concubines, but he has gone too far. He has to accept thousands of people at a time. If he hears that the grand master is here, he will not be allowed."

Jiang Yue laughed and said, "I heard that the Grand Master is not in court."

Concubine Huang said straightly: "Why does the queen pretend to be ignorant? Most of the concubines accepted by the king are of low class background; the meaning of the king is already clear at a glance."

Speaking of this, she said sternly: "Your Majesty has lofty aspirations, and the Queen knows it too. However, nobility is the foundation of a great business, and what the Majesty did is destroying the foundation and bringing about its own destruction!"

Jiang Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Sister Huang, why bother to scare people. The king is wise and powerful, and he has his own means of governing."

Concubine Huang heard it for a long time, and sighed: "You and the king are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one body. According to the king's ambition, we, as people around him, should support him. But the king is too impatient. , the nobles are deeply ingrained, if the king draws the drawing slowly, he will pay it back; the more impetuous he is, the more disturbing I am."

Concubine Huang has her own insights.She comes from a good background, and is from the Chaoge Huang clan; she has been carefully educated since she was a child. Huang Feihu's teacher is Wen Taishi, and Zishou also studied with Wen Taishi when he was young. It is said that Huang Fei and Zishou are also childhood sweethearts.

Concubine Huang is considered to be half a disciple of Grand Master Wen.I heard that the grand master has profound wisdom, and none of the disciples he taught is simple.Apart from his gradually impetuous temperament showing his weaknesses, Zishou is really wise and powerful.

However, his temperament was impatient and headstrong, which became more and more obvious after Zishou ascended the throne.I heard that the grand master was fine when he was in court, and he was able to suppress his impatience; when he heard that the grand master left, Zi Shou couldn't restrain himself.

During this period of time, all kinds of policies, both openly and secretly, were aimed at the nobles.

The more you do it, the more obvious it becomes, and the more you do it, the more you go too far.

Concubine Huang worried that if she continued to be so radical, the princes from all walks of life would not be able to hold back and would definitely rebel.The nobles are the foundation of the big business, once the nobles rebel, the future of the big business will be visible.

The honor of the king is for those who have virtue.The word "virtue" is not pure morality, but comprehensive ability and skill.

Zishou is too young and too radical, and although he has great ambitions, he is undoubtedly rebelling against himself.

The dignity of a human king is not determined by heaven.Just like Emperor Tang overthrowing Xia Jie, once the world is turned against him, the great merchants will be overthrown.

But Jiang Yue was very indifferent.

If it was the original Jiang Yue, I'm afraid she would be the same as Concubine Huang, and she was worried; but the Jiang Yue in front of her was not.She is a practitioner.

In the early years, I practiced with Changxi and learned a lot of secrets.For example, Fengshen.

So Jiang Yue knew that some things were bound to happen—it wasn't that she had never persuaded Zishou, but she couldn't.On the contrary, the more he persuaded, the more Zishou alienated her.She can't help it.

But every time we meet, I still have to persuade - this is the duty of the queen.

The past two years have gradually calmed down, Zishou alienated her, and she didn't take it seriously.If Da Shang is really overthrown, she will return to the Moon Palace and concentrate on practicing.

Concubine Huang chattered aside, Jiang Yue listened with a light smile, occasionally saying a few words.Concubine Huang finally had no choice but to leave.

After Huang Fei left, Jiang Yue sat alone, silent for a while.

Youyou sighed for a while, she stroked her protruding belly, not knowing what to think.

At this time, it was said that people from Dongbohou's mansion outside the palace asked to see him.

Jiang Yue recovered and said, "Call me in."

Then he came in and said, "Queen, there is an old friend from Junshan visiting, and he is in the residence of the Marquis."

When Jiang Yue heard this, she stood up all of a sudden.The originally plain face became a little more excited: "Junshan's old friend!"

He was about to go out, but he stamped his feet, saying: "Go and tell the king, just say that I have an old friend visiting, and I want to go out of the palace."

After finishing the order, I put on some simple clothes and then went out of the palace.

Someone here had already reported to Zishou about the previous conversation between Concubine Huang and the queen, and also said 'an old friend is visiting'.

Zishou is a majestic figure, with the power to change pillars and beams, with a handsome face and majesty between his eyebrows.

Hearing the words, he nodded slightly: "Since you are the queen's old friend, you must not be negligent. And send some gifts to the Hou's mansion to express your heart."

After dismissing the palace servants, Zishou's expression gradually became indifferent.

What the concubine Huang said to the queen made him very upset.Zi Shou is not unintelligent, on the contrary, he is a very intelligent person; it is not that he is ignorant of good and bad, he also has his own judgment.

But this is his childhood ambition - when Zi Shou was young, he often went out of the palace to study at Wen Taishi's mansion; because he was also a flying centipede when he was a child, he often skipped classes, and almost visited Chaoge all over the place.

Therefore, he is well aware of the sufferings of the people.

Once he asked Grand Master Wen why this happened, why there were slaves, and why the people were in poverty.Wen Taishi told him that it was because of the nobility.

Since then, Zishou has been determined to turn everything around.

Perhaps Grand Master Wen himself had forgotten that sentence, but Zi Shou remembered it very clearly.Since his accession to the throne in the past few years, Zishou has repeatedly promoted many officials from among the slaves.

Among the slaves, there is not no talent.

Common people are not all stupid.

They were just oppressed too hard by the nobles.

With this understanding, Zishou became more determined in his ambition - he wanted to overthrow all of this, and he would not hesitate to do so.

He also had a private chat with Wen Taishi about his ambition.Master Wen did not support him.Grand Master Wen once told him that the structure of Dashang is fixed, and it cannot be changed unless it is completely broken.

This is not anyone's fault, it is the cause and effect accumulated from the beginning.

But Grand Master Wen didn't object to him - he just asked him to take his time and not to be impatient.

But Zishou couldn't wait.His temper grew more irritable.It's okay that Grand Master Wen is in charge, but as soon as Grand Master Wen left, he let himself go.

Sometimes he clearly knows that there are great hidden dangers in doing so, and he knows that he can take his time and minimize the hidden dangers, but he just can't help it.

This is nature.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Zishou can't suppress himself, he understands his own heart, but he can't control his behavior.Perhaps in his own mind, he already had a judgment on his fate.
