Chapter 128 Set up a situation to invite you into the urn (2)
Meng Xinzhu's smile deepened, "I just listened to the story and fable of Concubine Rou, and I also have a story. It is said that there is a bird in the south called the phoenix. This bird flies from the South China Sea to the North Sea, and there are no parasol trees along the way.
It will not eat anything but bamboo, and it will not drink unless it is a sweet spring. One day, it flew over a falcon. The falcon was enjoying its lunch. When it saw something alien coming, it raised its head and clucked, fearing that it was coming to snatch the food.
Scream." This story is taken from "Zhuangzi", but Meng Xinzhu modified the original bird when telling it, replacing the original owl eating rotten mice with a falcon enjoying lunch. After all, that is also the queen's position.
You can't describe Concubine Lin as an owl eating a rotten mouse. It will not achieve the effect of resolving the problem, but will only make people more angry. After telling the story, she smiled and approached Concubine Rou, "Concubine Rou, now I am also
Do you want Concubine Lin to give me a 'ga'?"
Concubine Rou couldn't help being stunned, but Concubine Lin laughed, "My sister is really good at joking."
Xiao Zhao, who was standing in the distance, also laughed. Concubine Zhu was really humorous and used birds to metaphor people. However, he couldn't help but frown. Concubine Zhu's words actually showed that she had no intention of becoming a queen at all, but the emperor wanted to.
How to do it?
Concubine Lin looked at Concubine Zhu with a smile, and said, "Sister Concubine Rou, it's already the end of get out of class in school, and you haven't seen the little prince in a few days. Go and have a look."
Concubine Rou left her seat in response and glared at Meng Xinzhu before leaving.
"Concubine Rou has always been outspoken and has no bad intentions. Sister Zhu Fei, don't mind."
Meng Xinzhu smiled and said, "Sister Concubine Lin, please don't mind. I hope I can understand my sister's feelings."
Concubine Lin was startled. She stared into Concubine Zhu's eyes. It was not that she did not understand the meaning of Concubine Zhu's story, but she could not easily believe that the concubines in the palace would be indifferent to the position of queen. "My sister was joking, there is no one in the palace now.
People are qualified to say 'ga'. However, maybe soon, my sister will be qualified to say 'ga'."
Meng Xinzhu laughed, signaled the palace maids and eunuchs who were following her to step back, and then said slowly: "Sister is the one who is joking. Looking at the harem, who is qualified to compete with my sister for the post."
Seeing her rejecting all the servants, Concubine Lin raised her eyebrows and said, "It's a pity that I am not the queen."
"My sister is no longer crowned. Although she does not have the name of a queen, she still has the reality of a queen. In fact, this is also very good. You don't have to stand in the wind and waves and bear the wind and rain, but you can also enjoy the happiness of power. Why not?
?”
Concubine Lin was startled again. She looked at Concubine Zhu with her eyes wide open. She did not expect that things that her father and uncle did not understand would actually come out of Concubine Zhu's mouth. Who doesn't know the lofty position of the queen, but who doesn't?
I don’t know how dangerous that position is, how much care and prudence is required. Although she is only one of the first-class concubines in the palace, she really holds the real power of the harem. As Zhu Fei said, she enjoys the treatment of a queen, but she doesn’t
You need to bear the risk of the queen, which is a happy thing.
The emperor did not love her as much as he did to Concubine Yue before, nor as much as he did to Concubine Bamboo now, so why rush to sit on that unstable back seat? At least until the real queen appears, she is happy with the current situation.
In addition, in the current harem, she is the only one with a strong family backing, and her family members are all important ministers of the court. This is something the emperor has to consider when establishing a queen. Therefore, every time her father and uncle prepare to mention the establishment of a queen to the emperor,
Whenever something happens, she will dissuade him, because what she wants is not the posthumous position that he asked for.
She quite agreed with the idea of "the uncrowned queen". Looking at the concubines in the palace fighting for the throne, it was rare to meet someone who agreed with her. She was not wrong. Zhu Fei was different from others. If she could make her
Winning over her will be greatly beneficial to the consolidation of her own power. After all, there is no concubine in her group who is as favored as her.
Concubine Lin was getting ready, and she decided to give Concubine Zhu a try. "My sister is indeed different. No wonder the queen mother praised her so much. The emperor loves Youjia so much that she will be crowned queen soon. But by then, don't let my sister do it because of it."
That saying about 'the uncrowned queen', just say 'ga', sister."
"Haha, sister is joking, who can take my place? The emperor is still a wise king, knows people well and makes good use of them. Since I have entrusted my sister with important tasks, I trust Youjia, and my sister should also have full confidence in the emperor."
Concubine Lin glanced at her, "It's just that the palace is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are too many capable people. Although my sister has no big fault, she is extremely mediocre. The emperor trusts me today. I'm afraid there will be a more suitable person tomorrow.
Take my place."
"Then sister will do something to impress the emperor and those who don't think highly of my sister."
"Sister, do you have any ideas?"
Meng Xinzhu smiled and said, "Let me think about it."
Xiao Zhao looked at Concubine Zhu from a distance, and he couldn't help but laugh. Concubine Lin was smart and wanted to test Concubine Zhu's thoughts, or she wanted to use Concubine Zhu to help her give her ideas to consolidate her position, but he didn't know that Concubine Zhu had already set up a trap for her.
Diamond. Haha, fortunately, Zhu Fei has no ill intentions. She must be doing it for the relief fund. Xiao Zhao shook his head, this Zhu Fei is amazing!
Sure enough, Meng Xinzhu thought for a while and then gave Lin Fei an idea. Listening to Zhu Fei talking about setting up a relief fund, Lin Fei couldn't help but be stunned. This is indeed a good thing, and no matter whether it is done well or not, as long as
With this intention, you can not only impress the emperor, but also win praise from the people. Concubine Lin looked at the Bamboo Concubine again. She is indeed smart and powerful. Just based on this idea, she has already lost.
"My sister can actually come up with such an idea. She is really smart. If my sister has such a good idea, why don't she tell the emperor? The emperor will be very happy after hearing this, and he can also help my sister realize it as soon as possible."
"Because only my sister can handle such a thing."
Concubine Lin looked at Concubine Zhu and raised her eyebrows, "What should I say?"
"First of all, it's because of what my sister was worried about just now. Since there are many capable people in the palace, then my sister needs to do something that others can't do, to prove her ability to the emperor and the world. If this relief fund is established, it will undoubtedly be for the moon.
, Doing good deeds for the Emperor will not only gain the recognition of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but also consolidate my sister’s status as a mother in the hearts of the people in the world, and her status in the harem will naturally no longer be comparable to others."
Concubine Lin was stunned. She didn't expect that Concubine Zhu actually thought about herself. Not only did she give her advice, but she also handled everything in her own name. This was like giving herself a huge advantage. Why?
Why would she do this? Doesn't she know that this idea is a good opportunity for status promotion? Is it true that she has no intention of taking a lower position at all, as she said? Or is there some major crisis hidden behind this idea?
