"I thought the male protagonist had unlocked some amazing 'supernatural power'!"

"Ha! Mind reading! I'm stable this time!"

Gu Qingcheng denounced the trouble and stopped paying attention to it.

She was a little excited to let an emperor have the ability to read minds. Haha, was she cheating on him or digging a hole for him?

Originally, Gu Qingcheng thought that it would be somewhat difficult to subvert a male emperor.

First, he is the emperor, and in ancient times when imperial power was supreme, he was the supreme being;

Second, he is the male protagonist and has the aura of the protagonist given by the small world.

To fight against him, the male protagonist does not have to take action himself, but has to bear the backlash of the protagonist's halo.

Third, he is a "man"!
In a patriarchal society, it is really, really, really difficult for a woman to subvert a man.

The only female emperor in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, the reason why she was able to reach the top was not because she really had incredible abilities, but because of various factors such as the right time, the right place, the right people, and so on.

Moreover, the queen waited until the emperor's husband died and several sons were deposed before she "had no choice but" to take the throne.

She didn't directly fuck her husband.

Although Gu Qingcheng's mission this time did not mention usurping the throne or becoming the queen.

But, "Sister is the queen", well, the original owner said so. Gu Qingcheng felt that if she didn't "give it a try", she would be a little sorry for the "political legacy" left by the original owner.

First, the original owner was a queen and the emperor's wife, which also had certain advantages;

Secondly, the marriage between the original owner and Min Huang was a combination of interests and a cooperation between the royal family and the aristocratic family.

Behind the original owner, although there was no "X family army" with thousands of troops, there was a very large noble class.

Not to mention anything else, just because the original owner is the queen, she also has the opportunity to handle government affairs.

It's not that Min Huang doesn't know the truth that "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", but he has no choice.

The Queen Mother is in power, and the harem and the front dynasty are in control.

Min Huang lifted Queen Gu up to fight with the Queen Mother, and he had to give her certain "rights".

At first it was just the "palace affairs" of the harem, and then it was some small things of the previous dynasty.

There is no way, the former dynasty and the harem seem to be distinct, but in fact they cannot be separated at all.

For example, Min Huang's four concubines, the noble concubine with bright roses, the orchid-like concubine Virtue, the white lotus concubine... On the surface, they are all the women that Min Huang longs for.

Min Huang accepted them into the palace, seemingly out of "sincerity".

In fact, there may be sincerity, but the more important thing is the family behind the fourth concubine.

The imperial concubine's surname is Yu. Her father and brother are both powerful generals who lead troops in war.

By marrying her, you can achieve cooperation with the martial arts class.

Concubine Cui De was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, and was also from a wealthy family.

In this imaginary Jing Dynasty, they may not be as noble as the Jingzhao Gu family, but they still have a certain influence.

Especially Concubine Cui De's grandfather, who was not only a famous minister but also a famous teacher, with peaches and plums all over the world.

Many of the courtiers in the court were his disciples and disciples.

By including her in the harem, Min Huang would be able to gain support from a large group of scholars.

There is also Su Shufei. Although her family has declined, her mother's family is a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are indeed at the bottom, but businessmen are also really rich.

When Concubine Su Shu entered the palace, she brought a dowry of one million silver taels.

The emperor is also short of money!
Especially if he wants to train his troops, manage his own strength secretly, and don't want to be constantly restricted by courtiers, it is particularly important to have a rich private treasury and a money bag that can supply blood at any time.

Even Concubine Dong Xian, who was forcibly given to Min Huang by the Queen Mother, was not the daughter of an ordinary family.

Her father is the Marquis of Jing'an. Although he is a marquis, he is the founding father of the country and is hereditary.

It can be said that Concubine Dong Xian represents the power of the old nobles.The military power in the hands of these old nobles was taken away by the late emperor, but the foundation remains.

Some of the big guys in the army were their former subordinates.

In addition, they also divided up the land in the capital and nearby states and counties.

Their families are very rich.

The old nobles cannot be said to be local snakes in the Gyeonggi region, but they are pretty much the same.

After winning over them, the emperor seemed to be particularly stable living in the palace.

In addition to the fourth concubine, there are also nine concubines.

The nine concubines were from slightly worse backgrounds, but they were all noble girls.

Behind every concubine, there is a family. The only difference is the size of the family.

As for Min Huang, he relied on "marriages" again and again to connect himself, a ninth prince with an obscure background, to many forces in the court.

Queen Gu is in charge of the harem, and when managing these concubines, she not only has to consider the concubines themselves, but also the families behind them.

Therefore, she "had" to be familiar with the trends in the court and the overt and covert struggles of various forces.

In order to allow Queen Gu to better fight against the Queen Mother, Min Huang had to temporarily abandon the rule of "no political interference in the harem" and actively asked Queen Gu to "help" with some government affairs.

Queen Gu is no ordinary woman, she is an elite carefully cultivated by the Gu family.

She had a broad mind and insight that transcended gender. She accurately seized the opportunity and extended her hand to the court.

In three years, neither too long nor too short, Queen Gu managed a small force of her own—the Queen’s Party—in an unobtrusive way!

Well, although they are just some middle and low-level officials with no prominent status, they belong to a group of people who are "currently in charge".

Once there is any big move, they will play a greater role than the so-called famous ministers and generals.

"This Gu family is just too good for my liking!"

The more Gu Qingcheng sorted out the "political legacy" of the original owner, the more satisfied he became.

She even smelled an extremely familiar smell on the original owner's body.

If it were Gu Qingcheng, she would probably be making a similar arrangement as Queen Gu.

The only thing that was criticized about Queen Gu was that she had nothing to do after three years of marriage.

Outsiders only thought that Queen Gu was her daughter, but Gu Qingcheng, who had integrated the memory of the original owner, knew that this was Queen Gu's intention.

Although the Gu family invested in Min Huang, Queen Gu did not choose this man in the end.

For a true noblewoman from aristocratic families, "everyone can do whatever they want".

However, once a child is born, a woman will really be in a dilemma.

Queen Gu wanted to give herself three years to see if Min Huang was worth it.

She did everything right, and in order to prevent her contraception from causing trouble, she told Min Huang this--

"Your Majesty, although the emperor observes filial piety, he can use the sun to replace the moon."

"But, you are not from the palace after all, and the Queen Mother is powerful, so we must be fully prepared!"

Identity is not enough, virtue is what makes it up!
Min Huang is indeed just the son of a concubine, but what if he is pure and filial?

Queen Gu's words moved Min Huang, "The Queen is right, I originally wanted to observe mourning for three years!"

Replacing the moon with the sun?

No, that is what an unfilial son would do.

He, Min Huang, is a filial son with 999 purity.

And since filial piety must be observed, children cannot be sacrificed.

Therefore, not only did Queen Gu's wish for contraception come true, but the situation of having a "concubine's eldest son" in the harem was also avoided to the greatest extent!
