Chapter 322: Regent

Xu Zifan got up to say goodbye when she saw her getting busy. The queen mother still wanted to stay. Her biggest support now is Xu Zifan. She couldn't wait to be with him every day to evoke the feelings of his childhood sweetheart and make him obey her as before. But Xu Zifan said to leave. Her retention was useless. This made her a little discouraged. Xu Zifan saw her bad side in the past few months. Xu Zifan found that she was not so good anymore. Is she alienated? But now she has no power in her hands, and even the Fu family is almost abolished. She can't do anything, she can only rely on Xu Zifan.
Xu Zifan walked in the palace, feeling very different from when he first came across. At that time, if the queen mother and the emperor were alert and joined several important officials to deal with him, he would really have to waste a lot of effort to deal with them. But at that time, he used a series of things to disturb their minds, let them focus on other places, and then affect their psychology one by one. Step by step, they have collapsed and become canaries in his cage. .
The several masters living in this palace are surrounded by his people, and their every move is under his control, just like a scene in which he arranges, let them do whatever they want. Now with his power, wanting to become the emperor is effortless, but that's useless. The task is to make them suffer from heartache. To overthrow them directly will only make them hate him. He wants them to accumulate enough things to do Memories of regret later. Every step they make wrong is a knife that will be inserted in their hearts in the future.
Xu Zifan went to find the emperor. The emperor looked ugly and stared at him and asked, "Does the regent know that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"
Xu Zifan did not answer his words, and said: "Listening to the emperor's words in Anci Palace, the emperor seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the Fu family? When the emperor and noble concubine acknowledged their relatives before, the emperor had already cut off Fu Lin's officials and made him stay at home. What to do with the Fu family, the Fu family as the empress dowager’s mother’s family and the emperor’s Yue family is too unsightly, at least not to let the imperial concubine’s father lose face.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!" After the emperor said, he suddenly caught his last words, so he couldn't embarrass the imperial concubine's father? Isn’t the imperial concubine’s father Fu Cheng? Fu Cheng is the eldest of the Fu family. He didn’t separate because he was gone. Otherwise, how could Fu Lin be the head of the Fu family?
The emperor suddenly thought of how to deal with the Fu family, but he still didn't have a good face to Xu Zifan, "The Regent, you have violated my will twice and twice. What is your intention?"
Xu Zifan turned the finger on his hand and smiled faintly: "As the regent, the minister naturally has to think about the court. Don't let the emperor do wrong and put the court at risk. When the emperor held the imperial concubine today, the shoulder hurt again, right? The minister remembered that the imperial physician once said that if the emperor’s shoulder injury is not well maintained, it will be difficult to use his right hand in the future, which is equivalent to being unable to write or review memorials. The emperor is a concubine who ignores his body.
"presumptuous!"
"Being loyal to the ears, the emperor must not be willful in the future, otherwise the ministers and ministers can only continue to be loyal to their ears. The ministers are busy with government affairs, so they should retire first." Xu Zifan got up and walked to the door and stopped again, "Self-cultivation and governance The world, the emperor, you don’t even know the affairs of the harem, how to govern the world? You should investigate the emperor’s heirs clearly, and don’t let people watch jokes."
The emperor looked at Xu Zifan's back in disbelief, and smashed things on the imperial case with his backhand. He thought he was already in power and had suppressed Xu Zifan, and he could slowly take away Xu Zifan's power when he had the opportunity. But today all of this was overturned, and he just remembered that since the Queen Mother went to the palace, Xu Zifan rarely met him privately. Every time he met in private, Xu Zifan was not humble or humble, and he did not appear to be respectful and compromised at all. Is everything Xu Zifan acting? But for what?
The emperor became angry from shame, the shame of being tricked all over his body. What can be more destructive than thinking that you are on the top and discovering nothing? What's more, he is still an emperor, and there is no way to get a courtier, and he is tricked around. What can he do as an emperor?
The emperor calmed down, calculating his own power and planning how to deal with Xu Zifan, only to find that a good game of chess had almost come to an end, and he had no idea how to restore it. In the past, he relied on the queen mother to cultivate his confidant. The Fu family also had some influence. According to the plan at that time, he married the daughters of several important ministers as queen concubines, and attracted them to join hands against Xu Zifan. But now the queen and the imperial concubine in his palace can't give him the slightest help, and have been making troubles. What is he doing this time?
In the early morning of the second day, an official who was not visible on weekdays asked the emperor to choose his concubine to enrich the harem and open up the royal palace. Before others could respond, the emperor agreed and ordered all the girls of the official's home age to stand for election. After that, the emperor ordered Feng Fu to become Cheng En Gong, found several crimes on Fu Lin's head, demoted him to a commoner, and expelled him from Beijing.
Xu Zifan did not disagree with these two matters, but the other ministers did persuade a few words, but the emperor had made up his mind. He couldn't handle major events, so Fu Lin could still vent his anger to Furong. After choosing a few important ministers' daughters into the palace, he could deal with Xu Zifan. These two things were so decided. The queen mother received news and hurriedly asked people to invite Xu Zifan into the palace, but Xu Zifan only passed her a sentence, "The Fu family is still there, and the title of Duke Chengen is still there. No need to worry. Fu Lin Behavior Misconduct and helpless women deserve this punishment."
The queen mother was so angry that she was well-trained and didn't faint again. She remembered that Xu Zifan said that the Fu family would never fall, she was quite relieved, but she didn't expect this result in the end. The Fu family hasn't fallen, but what's the point of Fu Cheng's death? Her mother's family is completely finished, and she has no power at all!
Fu Lin was ransacked, and the whole family was expelled from Beijing. Many people were onlookers. Everyone was curious about what happened. Why did the queen mother and the queen’s mother’s family have an accident? The empress dowager and the emperor gave a password to the miscarriage matter, and few people knew it yet, but Xu Zifan took this opportunity to let people spread the news, and also mentioned what Tifulin and the empress did.
The news that the Queen’s imperial concubine died because of her jealousy and hatred was heard in the streets. The people were shocked, but they believed the news to be true after seeing the Fu’s fate. The queen instantly became a vicious jealous woman, and the crimes on Fu Lin's head also made him a villain for the common people. Even the impression of the queen mother fell to the bottom. The queen mother wanted to kill the imperial concubine and shelter the queen, and she was also a poisonous woman. . Of course, some people think that the emperor's spoiled concubine and annihilation of his wives are the ones who forced his mother and his wife to be like this. In short, the reputation of their family is completely stinky, adding a lot of historical material to the people.
The ministers were worried, especially the ministers with larger officials. The emperor's daughters must be indispensable for the selection of concubines, but this royal smog is not a good place to go. For the sake of that Furong, the emperor said that the Fu family was abolished and then abolished. If the fire burned on them in the future, wouldn't the emperor also say that it was abolished? Maybe the official is also happy that his daughter can enter the palace to fight for wealth, they just want to avoid it completely.
Officials who took refuge in Xu Zifan came to ask for advice. Xu Zifan's daughter was also of the right age. They believed Xu Zifan must have a way. Unexpectedly, Xu Zifan only asked them to stay calm, and there are a lot of things to prepare for the selection of the concubine. It is not that the election is chosen, just make something to postpone it. This postponement has a lot of maneuverability, and it makes the married couple become ill, so who can stare to investigate it.
There are a lot of things in the world. The officials got Xu Zifan’s idea. They usually exaggerated and wrote some things that were hidden from the above. There was a flood that was not too serious but was exaggerated and reported to the emperor to deal with the flood. Few, naturally can only put the concubine on hold. The emperor was full of heart, but when he accepted his order to be an imperial commissioner, he found that Xu Zifan had no objection. This was an opportunity to make merit, and he was a little happy.
In order to take this credit to promote his own people, the emperor specially arranged several errands, and almost all of his people were inserted in. Ministers have always belonged to factions, and even if they don't know the factions of others, they can at least guess the same. The emperor's actions made many officials who were supposed to be responsible for the floods quite complaining, but this was the emperor's order, and the regent agreed, and no one had any opinions. However, few people recognized the emperor's ability, and they always felt that his handling of government affairs came out all the time, like a family, and it was unreliable.
The emperor went well in the court for the time being, but he was depressed when he returned to the harem. Xiao Shunzi and Mo Yun were interrogated together. The second-class maid confessed that they were ordered by the Queen Mother to arrange these things. The queen mother naturally denied that Mo Yun arranged for the second-class maid to hang out, but in the eyes of outsiders, she committed suicide. The Queen Mother couldn't argue with her mouth. The eyes of the Queen Mother were filled with resentment and fear, and she returned to her palace that day, nervously rejecting any favors from the Queen Mother.
The emperor also had a big quarrel with the queen mother. The emperor accused the queen mother of being a poisonous woman, and the queen accused the emperor of framing her. The emperor felt guilty and pity for Furong, and the power of the sixth house was naturally placed in Furong's hands. All the pride of the queen mother when she returned to the palace disappeared, and she felt that nothing was right. Even Xu Zifan no longer saw her because of this result.
The queen mother naturally refused to accept this result, frowning all day long. Mo Yun did not let go of any chance to provoke them, and persuaded them, but both inside and outside the words led the Queen Mother to think about the emperor's filial piety.
The queen mother suddenly locked herself in the room for three days. Except for food, no one was allowed in. After she came out, she ordered Mo Yun to win over the imperial physician, making sure to figure out whether the queen was pregnant with a male or female fetus. Mo Yun moved in his heart, guessing what she wanted to do, a little surprised, and had a deeper understanding of the cold blood and viciousness of the Queen Mother. If the queen mother is as powerful as before and has a few confidantes and the regent as a backer, she can really say one thing in the palace and don’t put the emperor in the eyes. Fortunately, she has eradicated all the forces of the queen mother, and the queen mother’s plan will only fail or Half of success.
Mo Yun sent a letter to Xu Zifan, Xiao Shunzi, and Qi Hong while he was able to win over the doctor, to prepare them. The queen was about to be pregnant for three months. How could it be diagnosed whether it was a male or a female, but the queen mother did not understand medical principles. The emperor replied that the queen was pregnant with a male fetus, and the queen mother's heart fell by half.
