Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 95

Empress Dowager Jiang has passed away, there is no one in the position of the fourth concubine, Lin Yuchan herself is the head of the nine concubines, Du Yuncheng and Queen Liu are gone, her life suddenly became much easier.Although Empress Liu also made some arrangements before leaving, and handed over the palace affairs to Lin Yuchan, Guo Xiuyi, and Guan Chongyi to jointly manage the palace affairs, but if Lin Yuchan really wanted to do something, how could she be restrained because of these two people?
Not to mention that Lin Yuchan has more confidence than the remaining two in terms of favor, status, and heirs!Those who can get along like a fish in water in the Taiji Palace are all human beings, and of course they know whose thighs to hug.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yuchan's influence in the harem has indeed grown considerably.

Not only that, Lin Yuchan also extended her hand to the front court.Others don't know, doesn't Lin Yuchan know?Du Yuncheng had less than two years left. Calculated in this way, when Du Yuncheng passed away, Du Hanrui was only two years old. Lin Yuchan hoped to put her son on the throne, but she didn't want the country to become a mess, let alone her own. His son was made into a puppet.

This matter is somewhat difficult for Lin Yuchan, but it is not impossible!In this world, opportunists are always indispensable. Is there anything that can make people reach the sky in one step than Conglongzhigong?Although Du Yuncheng is now in his prime, it seems that he doesn't need to consider the issue of heirs in a short period of time, but this does not prevent the big guys from making investments earlier!

What's more, Lin Yuchan has the support of Dingguo's government behind her, but in terms of power, it far exceeds that of Empress Liu's family.As for the distinction between concubine and concubine, although it is an obstacle, but with Du Yuncheng's own example there, it is not so absolute.

Now the biggest problem Lin Yuchan is facing comes from herself!

She tricked Empress Liu and the second prince Du Hanqi before, and while making Du Yuncheng fearful of them, she also sent them to a near-death situation.But before it happened, the courtiers didn't know it!All they saw was the importance Du Yuncheng attached to Empress Liu and the second prince, did they even take them to worship their ancestors? !

Regarding this situation, Lin Yuchan couldn't laugh or cry, but fortunately, she had enough time to do it!Lin Yuchan does not want to completely rely on Dingguo Palace's face when it comes to courting the courtiers. Although this will make things go more smoothly, it is also equivalent to tying herself and Du Hanrui to Dingguo Palace's chariot. They chose to support them because of the face of the Dingguo government, so after Du Yuncheng passed away, would those people listen to the Dingguo government or themselves?

Although Lin Yuchan wanted to seek benefits for her family, she didn't want to create a situation where her relatives were monopolized.When that day really comes, I am afraid that the good times of Dingguo Mansion will come to an end!No emperor can bear being controlled by others, even if the other party is his mother clan!In order to prevent her relatives from killing each other, Lin Yuchan could only find a way to avoid this from the very beginning.

In fact, the reason why Lin Yuchan chose to deal with Du Yuncheng quickly and push her son to the top was also for her own purpose!When she became the empress dowager in her previous life, her son was already in his 20s and could take office immediately.Lin Yuchan will be her own queen mother with peace of mind, as long as she helps her son when necessary.

Are these days comfortable?It's very comfortable!But is Lin Yuchan happy or not?She is actually a little regretful.Traveling through a time, from the 21st century when men and women are equal—at least superficially—to this era when men can justifiably have three wives and four concubines, how could Lin Yuchan not have any thoughts in her heart? !

It's a pity that she was really powerless in her previous life, so she didn't talk about it when she was in Dingguo's mansion.After entering the Taiji Palace, Lin Yuchan started to have problems with self-protection. How could she have time to think about these unrealistic things?After being able to protect himself, he has to be busy competing for favor, fighting for power and profit with others, busy protecting his own child, and busy helping his son earn the throne. More than 20 years have passed since he was busy!After finally becoming the final victor, becoming the empress dowager, she has power and status, and she doesn't have to worry about others threatening her status.But her son has also grown up!
The empress dowager and the emperor are not mother and child in the ordinary sense!In an ordinary family, the son and the mother can discuss what to do. More often than not, the son has to listen to the mother and respect the mother's opinion, such as Lin Chengmao and Mrs. Xin.But in the royal family, it is a completely different situation.

If Lin Yuchan reveals her intentions and wants to intervene in the government affairs, the first person who is not willing to do so will probably be her emperor's son!Lin Yuchan has been fighting with others for more than [-] years, and she has finally paid off the bitterness. She doesn't want to fight anymore, not to mention that the opponent is still her own son. No matter who wins or loses, she will feel bad in her heart.

What's more, Lin Yuchan had to admit that her ability and vision at that time were indeed limited!After all, Lin Yuchan spent decades fighting for favor in the harem, so she didn't have time to study the government, and she was able to avoid being blind. It was thanks to her time-traveling, her vision was more advanced than others.

Seeing her own shortcomings clearly, Lin Yuchan didn't dare to command blindly.But Lin Yuchan didn't stop there!

The queen mother can be said to be the person with the most leisure time and the most comfortable life in the entire Taiji Palace.Although she has to face some conspiracies and calculations, compared to when she was a concubine, she can really be said to be too happy.As long as the queen mother is not the kind of person who likes to look for trouble, then basically she can have a lot of time to squander every day.

Of course, Lin Yuchan is not the kind of mother-in-law who finds her daughter-in-law disliked and wants to find fault with her whenever she has something to do.Although entrusted by her son to help him look after the harem, Lin Yuchan still handed over the palace affairs to her daughter-in-law. She just gave a warning when some people went too far. When the time comes, it should be properly suppressed, and the other thing is to protect Ichigo when someone attacks her grandchildren.

It looked cumbersome, but it didn't take Lin Yuchan much time at all. As long as she talked about it, the people below would naturally do the job well!So Lin Yuchan actually had plenty of time.

With such ample time, Lin Yuchan certainly wanted to find something to do.She didn't do anything else, besides reading history books, she just studied government affairs.At that time, it was of course impossible for Lin Yuchan to know that she would be reborn in the future, and she didn't know what she thought, maybe because of unwillingness in her heart, maybe to pass the time, maybe just because of an impossible idea.

Lin Yuchan has spent nearly 50 years on this matter. It can be said that this is the most serious thing Lin Yuchan has done in several lifetimes.Although it may not be useful at all!
But it turns out that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!After discovering that she was reborn again, Lin Yuchan really felt that it was a gift from God.

Firstly, because she didn't want to kowtow to the defeated general in her previous life, and secondly, in order to settle the regrets of her previous life, Lin Yuchan never thought about not entering the palace from the very beginning.But apart from these two reasons, maybe even Lin Yuchan herself didn't realize the longing in her heart!
It wasn't until after entering the palace that things proceeded step by step according to the plan, and Lin Yuchan got closer and closer to her former goal, that she suddenly realized that she had never given up on that idea!
Lin Yuchan didn't know if it was right for her to do so, she didn't know if it was arbitrariness, and she didn't know how future generations of history books would judge her.

Lin Yuchan is not a person who is passionate about power, and she has never thought about clinging to the government.She knew that would be unrealistic at all, no matter how long she lived, there would always be a day when she would die, the more she went too far, the more intense the backlash would be after she died.To act like this is tantamount to killing the chicken and picking the egg!
And at that time, as the emperor's biological mother, nothing will happen to me, but the government of Dingguo and those who once stood on my side may not end well.Lin Yuchan never thought of letting other people pay with their lives because of her mistakes, or even a more painful price!

So Lin Yuchan thought very clearly from the very beginning, ten years, she only needs ten years!Ten years later, Du Hanrui was about 13 years old, just at the age when he was going to be in charge of the government, so he returned the government to him.The fruits of my hard work are preserved, and the relationship between mother and child will not be hurt.

As for how much she can do in these ten years, Lin Yuchan can only do her best and obey the destiny!In short, she has worked hard, but she just wants to be worthy of her heart.

However, these are things for the future.The most important thing for Lin Yuchan now is to gain some political capital for herself first!
Knowing that the old fox is not so easy to impress, Lin Yuchan starts with those young people who have just entered the officialdom, and those who are capable but have no background and are difficult to get ahead are the main ones.After a few months, some results have been achieved.Lin Yuchan doesn't want everyone. With the memories of her previous life as a reference, Lin Yuchan knows who is a loyal minister and who is a treacherous minister, who is a fool and who is a double-dealer!
The New Year of the sixth year of Mingde was very boring because Du Yuncheng was not in Taiji Palace.The master is gone, and the concubines naturally don't have the desire to compete for beauty, so this year, it's really not salty or dull.

Du Yuncheng and his party set off in November, and arrived at the imperial mausoleum just in time for the first lunar month, and worshiped their ancestors. After the new year, they stayed there for almost a month before writing to the courtiers and concubines, saying that they wanted to come back.

It's finally here!When Lin Yuchan saw this letter, she felt a "thump" in her heart. She didn't know if it was more nervous, more relaxed, or more secretly happy.
