Chapter 29 The Queen Mother is immortal (29)

As Chen Ajiao moved out of Jiaofang Palace, the position of Empress Jianyuan became vacant. Many people in Chang'an city couldn't help but have some thoughts. For example, some concubines in the harem naturally began to covet the position of empress.

Another example is that the Queen Mother is also thinking about it.

Is there a suitable person from her natal family who can marry into the palace?

If she becomes the Queen Mother, her natal niece becomes the Queen, and if she has another son who can be crowned the Crown Prince, their family's glory and wealth will naturally be passed down.

I have to say that she has this idea.

It is really passed down from generation to generation among the Queen Mothers of Daqian.

Empress Lu asked her son to marry her daughter's daughter, that is, her granddaughter. When Empress Dowager Bo came to the throne, her son already had a wife and children, so she could only choose a daughter of their Bo family to be the queen for her grandson. However, as soon as she died, Empress Bo was deposed. Immediately afterwards, the original body was also given to her grandson, and her daughter's daughter was chosen to be the queen. So now that Empress Chen has left, it is reasonable for the Queen Mother to have similar thoughts.

In addition, there are two people who have some ideas.

Dou Liang, the son of Dou Pengzu, the Marquis of Nanpi, and Dou Changsheng, the grandson of Dou Guangguo, the Marquis of Zhangwu, also wanted to find a daughter from their own family to marry Liu Che and become the new queen.

And he even came to Changxin Palace to pay homage to Bai Sheng.

Hope to get her support.

The original person had an older brother and a younger brother, both of whom passed away. Among them, his elder brother Dou Changjun was the father of Dou Pengzu, but Dou Pengzu passed away last year, and the title was passed to his son Dou Liang. His younger brother Dou Guangguo's son Dou Wan is not dead yet, but he is also the son of Dou Pengzu. He was seriously ill. At this time, Dou Wan's son, Dou Changsheng, was in charge of all matters in the family. In terms of seniority, they belonged to the same generation as Liu Che. They were both grandchildren of his original body, and they were considered close nephews.

On the contrary, Dou Ying, who had previously held a high position, was actually his cousin's son and his nephew who was further away.

As for why we don’t promote younger people who are closer to us by blood.

Of course it's because they don't have much ability.

The titles of the original elder brother and younger brother were obtained purely through nepotism and they had no merit of their own. However, Dou Ying was actually awarded the title of marquis by virtue of his achievements in pacifying the Seven Kingdoms.

At the same time, he disagrees with the original person on many things.

Even against the original.

He is a standard Confucian pure minister. While he likes Confucianism, he also has his own set of cognitive standards for everything. He supports what he thinks is right, and he opposes what he thinks is wrong no matter who it is. For example, he is very opposed to the original doctrine. She wanted her younger son to succeed his younger brother, but he also opposed Emperor Jing's dethronement of the crown prince Liu Rong, and supported Liu Che in improving the status of Confucianism and severely punishing relatives and criminal members of the royal family.

The original person didn't want to see him, and Emperor Jing didn't want to see him.

He thought that he could achieve his current status only because of his own ability, but little did he know that Liu Che immediately gave up on him as soon as the original person died and tried to kill him.

Not to mention Dou Ying, who has been idle at home recently.

In the inner palace of Changxin Palace, after hearing the request of his two grandnephews, Bai Sheng rejected them very decisively:
  "No, there is no need to discuss this matter.

After so many years, can't you two idiots still not understand that every Daqian emperor hates this kind of intimate relationship? You want the next emperor to still have the blood of our Dou family flowing, or even The purer the bloodline of our Dou family, the better, but the emperor doesn't think so. They just want the bloodline to be as far away as possible.

The Dou family is in a good situation now. They are far away from the disputes in the court and the harem. As long as they obey the rules honestly and don't break any rules, they will naturally be very stable.

Where is the Lu family? Where is the Bo family?
  Empress Dowager Bo's great-nephew Bo Liang was also expelled from the country for crimes in the second year of Jianyuan. If the Ai family had passed away last year, do you think the Dou family could still be so comfortable?
  Go back and be a rich man honestly.

Just pretend it doesn't happen. "

Bai Sheng obviously didn't want to push her child into the fire pit anymore, and she herself didn't quite understand this kind of kissing and kissing operation, so her refusal at this time was without any room for error, clear and straightforward. I'm afraid that the two of them are not smart and don't understand.

Don't dare to say anything obscure.

Dou Liang and Dou Changsheng looked at each other for a while. Although they may still be a little unwilling, they also knew that if the Empress Dowager did not support it, they would never be able to send their daughter to the palace. Let alone be a queen, they just wanted to be a wife. , the Empress Dowager firmly opposed this.

None of that will succeed.

So in the end, I had no choice but to accept it, express my understanding, and then bow honestly and retreat.

These two guys are quite well-behaved, and the most they can say is that they are treacherous but not courageous, so Bai Sheng is not worried that they will cause trouble behind his back.

What she was a little worried about was the Queen Mother. Don't look back and cause a butterfly effect because of what she did, and directly take away Wei Zifu's position as queen. That would be a sin. So after the two grandnephews left, Bai Shengbian immediately sent people to keep an eye on Changle Palace and the Tian family, always paying attention to everything about the Queen Mother, in case things went out of control.

It's easier for her to respond in time.

However, Bai Sheng's worries were quickly dispelled by Emperor Jianyuan, because he suddenly announced that he would no longer directly marry the queen, but who would give birth to the emperor's eldest son in the future.

Just make whoever is your queen.

This also means that no matter how much the Queen Mother wants to bring her family into the palace, she can only start as an ordinary concubine. Whether she can become a queen in the future depends on whether she can give birth to the emperor's eldest son, etc. .

In short, it can be regarded as fair competition.

At least compared to the previous direct designation.

There is some sign of fair competition.

Then, Emperor Jianyuan became a favorite. Not only did the women in the harem please him and wanted to drag him into their beds and keep him overnight, many officials and princes also began to think about whether to send their daughters and granddaughters to the palace. Gongbao gave it a try. After all, Emperor Jianyuan was just a heir, which was a bit difficult. Now that he had no children, it was not that he was infertile.

If only my daughter and granddaughter were healthy enough.

Maybe you can't take a chance on the position of queen.

Although this move may make the strife in the harem more serious, it does make many people work harder. At the same time, it also makes the business of some witches and doctors busy, as well as the officials who send their daughters to the palace, and gain the support of Emperor Jianyuan. More trust and promotion. After all, there is an additional level of marriage relationship in the relationship between monarch and minister, so there will naturally be more trust.

The corresponding one is.

Bai Sheng's court power further shrunk.

Although the important positions such as Prime Minister, Censor and Doctor are still hers, they have been basically ignored. At the same time, the power of Confucianism has gradually begun to erode the court. How serious is the situation? It is so serious that Prime Minister Xuchang and others feel that they are already somewhat supported. They refused to go down and asked to see Bai Sheng one after another, saying that they didn't want to do it anymore.

Bai Sheng didn't give any support, and Emperor Jianyuan showed a tendency to sharpen their swords. Naturally, they had the idea of ​​retreating and wanted to get out of this vortex as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will not get any benefits.

He himself must be shattered to pieces.

　I'm a little stuck. I need to sort out my thoughts. The next chapter may be late.
