Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 256 The Secret of Zuo Xiangfu 2
The weather in December has really entered the cold winter. It snowed suddenly at night, and when the white belly appeared in the east, the whole palace was already completely white.

As early as after the emperor and empress returned to the palace, the stove had already been moved into the Luanfeng Palace, and the inner hall was warm, and it was almost impossible to feel the slightest chill outside.

After nearly midnight of lingering, Feng Qi hugged Linyue and leaned against the head of the bed with an expression like a satiated fox.

Although her body was a little tired and limp, Linyue, who had slept for two hours just now, didn't feel much drowsy at this time. She leaned on Feng Qi's arm and said in a lazily voice, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Feng Qi tilted his head and glanced at her, was quiet for a moment, then slowly said: "Linyue, under what circumstances do you think a mother would treat her own son differently?"

Treat your own son differently?

Linyue was obviously a little surprised by this question, and couldn't help asking: "What did your mother tell you?"

Feng Qi smiled lightly, but her eyes were dark, "It's not me."

Linyue looked at him thoughtfully, "Is this what you asked Mu Xi to investigate these days, the so-called private matter?"

Feng Qi hummed.

"Treat differently..." Linyue frowned, and said calmly, "Are you sure it's your own son?"

Feng Qi nodded: "It's my own son."

Linyue remembered what Feng Qi said before, and the play she was asked to perform in front of the left and right prime ministers, and she already knew it, "You'd better tell me the details, otherwise I won't be able to analyze it."

Hearing this, Feng Qi sighed softly, turned his head and kissed her on the face, and said in a calm manner: "The Yun and Gong families have always been the right arm of the Feng family, and the position of prime minister is almost hereditary. The system has always been inherited by the eldest son, and he has been exposed to and cultivated the ability to handle various government affairs since he was a child, and he officially entered the court after the age of 20."

Patrimonial.

Linyue couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard the words. Although the historical knowledge she had come into contact with before was not very rich, she had never heard that the princes and nobles were hereditary, but she hadn't heard that the prime minister could also be hereditary.

However, emperors are different from emperors, and dynasties are not good. The hereditary system of prime ministers is not a bad thing for the royal family.

"In this generation of the Yun family, the eldest son Yun Tingfeng was supposed to inherit the position of left chancellor. He is the one who made your wedding dress for you when we went to Mo Yuxuan last time."

Linyue nodded, thinking of the handsome and glamorous boss Mo Yuxuan, "Well, he doesn't seem to be a person who likes to be restrained. The position of high-ranking prime minister should only mean restraint to him. So it is reasonable for him to refuse to resist, and it is not incomprehensible."

Feng Qi said: "For the eldest son's rebellion, Yun Xiang was very angry. It was the first time in his life that he violated the family law. That time, he almost didn't kill him. Later, Ting Yu took the initiative to stand up and was willing to bear the burden of his elder brother. If you are willing to bear the responsibility, this matter is over—”

"At that time, Ting Yu was only 16 years old. Because he was not the one who was appointed prime minister since he was a child, he didn't have much contact with the affairs of the court. Everything had to start from scratch, so after his 16th birthday, he directly He was sent to Phoenix Mountain."

Phoenix Mountain is a good place to practice. There are all kinds of talents. It is not too early to start contacting court at the age of 16. Therefore, it is not an easy process to learn the abilities that the prime minister needs to master.

"On the day my wonderful father announced the Zen position, the left and right prime ministers took care of all the affairs of the court, and I only entered the Lingxiao Pavilion after they returned from their studies. I stayed on Phoenix Mountain for four years. After four years, I I went back to the palace once, but then spent most of my time outside the palace, cultivating my own power in the Kyushu Continent, and only had correspondence with them. Although the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is relatively harmonious, I have almost nothing about their private affairs Know."

Speaking of this, Feng Qi glanced at Linyue, and said with a faint smile: "I always thought that Wuxie's intelligence network was very powerful, but I never thought of investigating their own affairs. For an emperor, this kind of carelessness is a lot. Time is actually a fatal weakness."

Linyue shook her head, "For others, maybe it is. But you are not others. You have given them enough trust in your loyal and confidant advisers. Since there will be no doubts in your heart, naturally you will not bother Investigate them, this is the magnanimity that a king should have."

But even though he said so, Linyue himself knew that since ancient times, there are very few emperors who can completely delegate power. , For several years, the power of the government was handed over to the assistant minister.

He is even said to be a high-ranking prime minister.

With the influence of Yiyun and Gong in the court, the chance of usurping the throne is not high, but the power to determine the ownership of the throne is real. Feng Qi has not been in court for the past few years. If King Yu and the Queen Mother Being able to win the hearts of these two prime ministers, ascending to the throne is a breeze.

"But now I regret that I trusted them so unscrupulously before." A self-deprecating smile overflowed from the corner of Feng Qi's lips, "Excessive trust often means neglect. The same is true for monarchs and ministers who have a close relationship."

Lin Yue nodded and did not refute his words.

"The last time I asked you to cooperate with me in that play, you may have been very puzzled." Feng Qi said this, her brows and eyes sank slightly, and there was a deep color in her eyes, "That's because I saw Ting Yu There are wounds on the body, the scars from being beaten with tools such as rattan sticks, which are very serious and shocking."

When Linyue heard the words, she couldn't help showing a look of shock on her face.

Yun Tingyu, that man who is always as gentle as jade?
What did he do to deserve such a severe punishment?

The corner of Feng Qi's mouth twitched, "It was the first time he lied in front of me, and I doubted it in my heart, so I ordered Mu Xi to investigate secretly, and finally found out that those scars on his body were the masterpieces of Mrs. Yun."

Mrs. Yun?
Lin Yue frowned, and said thoughtfully: "What kind of person is she?"

"Gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, reasonable, and understanding." Feng Qi used three words of praise in a row, and it was in a declarative tone without any sarcasm, "Yun Xiang has only married Mrs. Yun in his life, and they love each other. She gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter. The information Mu Xi found made me very puzzled. Mrs. Yun was not a strict mother. She was always gentle and tolerant towards her eldest son Yun Tingfeng and youngest daughter Yun Li. He never gave up scolding, but Ting Yu, the second son, was beat and scolded and made to kneel, copied the scriptures of filial piety, and was not allowed to enter even a drop of water all night."
