The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like angry waves, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road inside and outside. Looking at the Western Capital, I feel hesitant.
It is sad that wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were turned into dirt.
When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer.
——"Shanshan Sheep·Tong Caring for Ancient Times" Zhang Yanghao [Yuan Dynasty]
…
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Empress Zhang stood up in person and poured tea for Bai Fu with her bare hands. Empress Zhang smiled and said, "My lord, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Bai Fu said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Empress Zhang sighed and said: "Although I am the master of the harem, Your Majesty is extremely fond of the slave family. It seems that the wind and rain will come, but all this is just the scenery in front of others.
But in the final analysis, a concubine is just a woman favored by her beauty. Once her lust fades and your Majesty falls in love with someone else, everything I own will be destroyed by the tide like a sand dune castle.
Therefore, as concubines, we must ultimately rely on our own princes. I only have two princes, Yi'er and Dong'er. My biggest hope is that these two children will become great talents and fathers.
The emperor is worried.
Unexpectedly, Yi'er passed away early, leaving only Dong'er by my side, isolated and helpless. Thinking of this, my heart felt like a knife piercing my heart. Dong'er is young, and if there is no noble person to take care of him, what kind of accident will happen if he is not protected.
As a mother, the child is the mother's heart and soul.
General, you are loyal to the country and have great military achievements. You are the pillar of our Tang Dynasty. If Dong'er can get your care, his future will be limitless. I hope General will take care of you in the future!"
These words may seem polite, but the meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes that Bai Fu can change his family and fully support Ding Wang Li Dong to take over the East Palace.
Bai Fu pondered for a moment and replied: "My dear, you don't have to be polite.
King Ding is your Majesty's bloodline, and I will do my best to take care of him so that the tragedy of King Xing will not happen again.
However, the matter of establishing a crown prince is His Majesty’s family matter, and as a minister, I am not in a position to interfere.”
Ordinarily, Bai Fu has already dealt with it appropriately and should not make any more demands, but Empress Zhang doesn't think so. She has her own plan:
"Judging from the current situation, ally Li Fuguo may have secretly turned to Bai Fu.
Master Yin Fenglan has been arrested, and I have no backup around me. If I don't seize this golden opportunity of secret rift between Li Chu and Bai Fu, once Li Chu ascends the throne, not only will I and Li Dong lose their glory, but they will even be in danger of their lives."
This time, Empress Zhang had made sufficient preparations and must strike while the iron was hot to defeat Bai Fu in one battle.
…
Queen Zhang stared at Bai Fu for a long time before speaking, "The reason why the general agreed so tactfully is, after all, because Li Chu is Qingluan's brother, right?"
Bai Fu smiled lightly and did not deny it.
Empress Zhang's smile slowly bloomed like a flower and said: "General, if Dong'er is your biological flesh and blood, are you willing to join in and sacrifice your life to help?"
Bai Fu was shocked, wondering why Empress Zhang said this.
Empress Zhang stood up, moved lightly, came to Bai Fu's side, pulled up her skirt, and slowly knelt down in front of Bai Fu's knees.
Bai Fu was shocked and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, saying, "Isn't it okay, my dear?"
Empress Zhang gently pushed away Bai Fu's support, took Bai Fu's hands in hers, pressed her hibiscus-like face into Bai Fu's palms, and rubbed them gently.
Empress Zhang raised her head, looked at Bai Fu affectionately, and spoke softly with her red lips: "If the slave family is willing to give birth to a son for the general, will the general be willing to assist our child in ascending the throne?"
Bai Fu knew that Empress Zhang came with bad intentions, and had thought of various countermeasures, but he did not expect that Empress Zhang would make such an unbelievable request.
Empress Zhang bit her lip with her teeth, smiled charmingly, and said: "The menstrual period of the slave family is about to come, and today is the best time to get pregnant. If I can get the general's favor here, and become pregnant with the general's flesh and blood, the general and the slave family will be happy."
With his extraordinary appearance, the child he gives birth to will definitely be extraordinary.
Didn't Li Chu always have a hard time with the general? In this case, instead of fighting with him in the court, it would be better to seize his crown prince position and replace it with our children.
You and I, as husband and wife, are determined and united, and we will definitely be able to help our child achieve great honors and become a great person in the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
In this way, how about Li Tang's country being replaced by the Bai family's country without anyone noticing, and the general's blood ruling the world?"
Bai Fu suddenly realized.
This queen is not only scheming, her thinking is also different from ordinary people, and she can grasp the essence of things at a glance.
The battle in the harem is not only about fighting for the king's favor, but also about fighting for the throne of the heirs.
Mother is more valuable than son. Whoever's prince can become the future emperor can become the real master of the harem, or even the master of the world!
From the beginning to the end, Empress Zhang only cared about her child ascending the throne, and did not care who the child's father was. She was willing to pay any price for anyone who could help her child become an emperor and make him the unshakable master of the harem.
Bai Fu is now clearly the most powerful official in the world in the future. If he can win Bai Fu to his side and get the support of the Tang military community, the matter of changing the reserve in the East Palace will be a certainty.
After thinking about this clearly, it was easy to make a decision. Empress Zhang decided to follow the example of Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei, feed the tiger with her own body, and get Bai Fu's full support at all costs.
In the final analysis, like Wu Zhao and Wu Zetian, Empress Zhang does not have the ethics and worldly concepts in the eyes of ordinary people, only naked and tangible interests.
This plan of subverting one's strengths and weaknesses is both vicious and feasible, both crazy and rational. The key lies in the angle from which you look at it.
In front of the supreme power, everyone is a madman.
The incident happened suddenly, and this plan of substituting one thing for another was so unimaginable that Bai Fu was in a daze.
Empress Zhang had been carefully observing Bai Fu's expression.
Don't miss this opportunity.
Empress Zhang lightly pouted her lips, and a stream of hot air was sent out from her mouth, blowing towards Bai Fu's lower abdomen. Bai Fu felt that his lower abdomen was like the spring breeze blowing through the willow branches, and the willow branches were blooming, rippling with the wind, and ready to move.
Empress Zhang felt the changes in Bai Fu and smiled with satisfaction.
She lowered her head, gently took Bai Fu's finger into her mouth, and used the tip of her tongue to gently slide and swirl around the fingertip, teasing the fragile and sensitive nerves on the fingertip.
A wave of heat quickly gathered in his lower abdomen, Bai Fu's chest rose and fell, and his breathing gradually became louder.
Seeing that the heat had arrived, Queen Zhang slowly raised her head and looked up at Bai Fu, shy and looking forward to it.
Empress Zhang's pink face was as beautiful as peach blossoms, her eyes were so pretty that they were about to drip with water. She bit her lips lightly with her teeth and gasped in anger: "The most noble woman in the Tang Dynasty is kneeling in front of you, begging for mercy, waiting to be raped."
The general favored him.
What are you waiting for, General?"
…
"What a powerful charm!"
Soon after, Bai Fu suddenly woke up and pushed Queen Zhang away. Bai Fu swayed to the window, opened the window, and let the cool air blow into the room to cool down his hot cheeks.
Bai Fu didn't even look back, his tone was cold and solemn, and he said to Empress Zhang: "My queen, please respect yourself."
Empress Zhang fell down on the carpet, clutching her chest and gasping for breath. Her charm skills had reached its peak, and she was suddenly rejected. It was like being kicked back by the energy, which made her feel very uncomfortable both physically and mentally.
Empress Zhang looked at Bai Fu's stalwart back and said softly: "The Nu family truly loves the general. I just made unforgettable words and hope the general will think twice."
Bai Fu shouted sternly: "You are bold and you are talking nonsense. If you do what you did today again, Bai Fu will kill you without mercy!"
After saying that, he pushed open the door and left, leaving Queen Zhang alone in the house.
Empress Zhang breathed out a few breaths, her mind calmed down, and she didn't feel depressed at all. She looked at Bai Fu's figure leaving in a hurry, and smiled proudly: "I kept talking back, and I didn't even dare to look back, so I ran away in defeat.
Next time we meet, I won’t let you go so easily, and I will definitely make you succumb to me.”
