Chapter 312: Want to rebel?

On the first day of the new year, the imperial court ordered the wives and the royal wives to worship in the palace.
Then there was a very magical scene.
Concubine Xue Gui, Concubine Xiao Shu, Li Zhaoyi, and Jiang Shuyi sat side by side to receive the greeting.
In this scene, there is a great trend of four feet.
The imperial court wife, there are many people who don't know that Concubine Xian was demoted to Jie Yu last night. They were shocked not to mention this scene, at least they were shocked.
Concubine Xian has become Jieyu, and Li Zhaoyi and Jiang Shuyi are in charge. Is the harem going to change?
Many people are anxious and uneasy.
After the greeting, Xie found Gu Jiu, "Second-aunt grandma, in this palace..."
"Don't worry about things in the palace."
Gu Jiu simply interrupted Xie's words, her face was serious, "Don't say extra words, so as not to make trouble for her father."
Xie's heart trembled, "Is it so serious?"
Gu Jiu sternly said, "I already denounced Concubine Xian last night. Is it serious?"
Xie's feelings were so deep, he didn't dare to ask more.
But when the old lady Wei asked, Gu Jiu said a few more words, "As long as Li Zhaoyi gives birth to the prince, the three forces in the harem will become."
"Where is Jiang Shuyi?"
"Jiang Shuyi shouldn't worry about it. At present, she does not have the strength to fight."
Without the support of her natal family, Jiang Yan is just rootless driftwood and can only drift with the waves.
"You have to be careful too. Looking at this form, you are getting more and more nervous." Old lady Wei told Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu nodded, "The tired old lady is worried, I will be careful."
The old lady Wei thought for a while, and then asked, "Will the palace be implicated?"
"Not yet. As for the future, no one can say for sure."
The old lady Wei sighed, "I hope Prince Ning's residence is safe."
Gu Jiu also looked forward to peace.
After speaking, she went to Changchun Palace.
The palace banquet on the first day of the first lunar month was always horrible, and she was unwilling to eat it.
When we arrived at the Changchun Palace, all the people in the palace were there, as was the lord of Huyang.
Gu Jiu was sitting with the women.
Concubine Xiao Shu wore a wipe on her head, and she had a headache since last night, and it got worse today.
King Ning sat beside her, "Mother concubine must take care of her body."
Concubine Xiao Shu nodded, "This palace can't die, don't worry. You have heard about what happened in the harem today, this harem is about to change.
We old people are obstructing your majesty's eyes, and your majesty must support the newcomers to fight with us.
For decades, Queen Ruijin Cui had never been so aggrieved when she was alive. Now that the house is full of children and grandchildren, but they have to suffer this dislike. Your Majesty really refuses to give us old people a little decent, it is too chilling. "
Ning Wang said, "The old man is cruel and ruthless, and he didn't know it today. I want to see if Li Zhaoyi can give birth to a son."
"Don't mess around." Concubine Xiao Shu pointed to King Ning. "The palace invited the grandmother who is best at gynecology to see that Li Zhaoyi's birth is most likely a son."
King Ning sneered, "The old man is probably happy when he is always coming. It seems that Li Zhaoyi will soon be promoted to the concubine."
Concubine Xiao Shu nodded, "That's right. As for that Jiang Shuyi, it's not a good time. Unless she can also conceive and have children, she will be promoted to the concubine."
Ning Wang said lightly: "Jiang Shuyi is not a concern. Now the most important thing is the old man's attitude. The old man's reluctance to accept the old is really troublesome."
Concubine Xiao Shu snorted coldly, "There are a few emperors who are willing to obey the old, you are too naive."
Ning Wang smiled and said: "The son will serve the old. Now I am also a grandfather, and I have become an old man."
Concubine Xiao Shu laughed.
Princess Huyang said next to him: "Brother Wang is an old man, then what am I? I don't want to grow old."
Concubine Xiao Shu pointed to Princess Huyang, "You, you have all the faults of women, such as vanity, greed, jealousy, petty, stinky, stinky, light-hearted, afraid of heavy...and so on."
"My concubine said that to me, I feel very sad!" Princess Huyang acted like a baby.
Concubine Xiao Shu changed a more comfortable posture, "You are also a lot of age, my palace does not expect you to be able to change it, my palace only hopes that you will be less troublesome. You saw what happened last night, and even the concubine Xian was unavoidable. Take away the concubine, you, as the emperor, are not the most favored emperor. If you get into trouble again, be careful that your father takes your title."
Princess Huyang's face changed, "Mother consort, don't scare me."
"Does my palace scare you? Ask your brother Wang."
King Ning said casually: "It's too common to seize titles. The old man had few royal titles in the early years? I count, almost three or five prince titles, seven or eight county titles. Princesses and princesses There are a dozen of them. Huyang, you'd better be honest. Otherwise, you will become the first emperor of this generation to be crowned."
Huyang was frightened, and his face turned pale.
Concubine Xiao Shu said: "Since the death of Queen Ruizhen Cui, Your Majesty has acted more and more freely. You must be more cautious in your actions in the future, so as not to obstruct your Majesty's eyes."
Then, she looked at the brothers Liu Zhao.
"Da Lang, Er Lang, Shi Lang, the three of you brothers must share the worries for the prince. Go Lang and Rok Lang should also work hard to study and get the job as soon as possible."
Everyone said yes.
Concubine Xiao Shu went on to say: "The royal heirs are not prosperous, Da Lang, Er Lang, you all have to work hard. Shi Lang, wait for Qin Er to take care of his health, and try to give the child two more younger siblings."
Liu Yi smiled and said, "Qin'er missed her grandmother very much, and she couldn't go out because of confinement. She said that when she was out of confinement, she brought her brother into the palace and pleased her grandmother."
Concubine Xiao Shu happily said, "She has a heart. Ask her to take good care of her body, and her body is fundamental."
"Grandma thanked Qin'er for her concern."
Because Xiao Qin'er gave birth to a son, Liu Yi got the most attention.
Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao didn't care, and didn't care about this concern at all.
Ouyang Fu and the second son were very unhappy in their hearts.
Among the brothers, the second son got married first, but he has not yet given birth to a boy and a half daughter.
The second son glanced at Ouyang Fu and said that it must be false if he has no opinion. If it weren't for the birth of the eldest son, the second son would not have waited until today to have no concubines, but just a few girls in the room.
The second son thought to himself, wait again, wait another year or a half, if there is still no movement, he will marry a side room from outside.
Although the child born in the side room is not a direct child, because the biological mother is a good citizen, the identity of the child is naturally more noble than the maid. It's only slightly shorter than the prostitute.
Ouyang Fu knew the second son too well, she had already thoroughly studied the second son.
The second son glanced at her, and she knew exactly what it meant.
She feels sorrowful, but she wants to be calm.
She can't fall down, can't be weak, she has to straighten her waist, she must give birth to the eldest son. No woman can ever want to take the place of her eldest son.
She used to be gentle and virtuous, just because there was no woman worthy of her playfulness.
But once there are women who deserve her attention, she is not a vegetarian.
Ouyang's women have always been insulated from weakness.
Everyone spent lunch at the Changchun Palace and set off for the palace.
King Ning left halfway, not knowing where he went.
Liu Zhao accompanied Gu Jiu back to the palace.
In the past two days, I am really exhausted.
As soon as Gu Jiu returned to the east courtyard to go to the room, he went to the soft collapse and relaxed.
Ah, this is so comfortable.
Liu Zhao sat down beside her and massaged her to relax.
"How can I continue playing this situation now?"
Gu Jiu turned to look at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao's face was expressionless, completely unable to guess what he was thinking.
It took a long time before he said: "It's still the past gameplay. The Li family is not worried, Li Zhaoyi and her unborn child are not worried, what really kills is the attitude of the emperor's grandfather."
Yes!
The attitude of the emperor is too important.
The preference of the emperor is the weather vane of the court.
The emperor hates a person. If this person happens to be the prince, there is a great probability that the prince will not be on the throne.
Unless you dare to rebel.
However, the prince of this dynasty does not control the army, and if he wants to rebel, he has to buy generals. Generals are not so easy to buy, and not every general has the courage and ability to rebel.
The rebellion is really a huge and arduous project. Throughout the dynasties, few people have succeeded.
People who can successfully rebel have a common characteristic. They are not only princes, but they also have long-term military and military knowledge. They have extremely high prestige in the military and can respond to everything.
However, none of King Ning and his brothers had high prestige in the army, and none of them were able to respond.
The emperor will not allow such people to exist.
When such a person really appeared, the emperor had already sent troops to destroy him.
Therefore, the rebellion seems to be impossible at present.
Then it can only rely on internal struggle.
"If Li Zhaoyi gave birth to a son, can her son grow up safely?"
Liu Zhao's face was cold, "No one with a brain can do it at this time. To do it, you have to wait until the child is three or five years old and reveals his talent. Children at this age are most likely to get sick. A small wind chill. , It may kill the child."
Gu Jiu trembled and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to be dangerous?"
Liu Zhao said softly: "My son is the emperor's grandson, I can't ask about the harem."
High-sounding, all nonsense.
Gu Jiu hugged him by the waist and asked in a low voice, "If King Father loses in the end, what will we face?"
Liu Zhao paused, and then said nonchalantly: "Better, I still live the life I am now, but I have no authority and I have to my tail.
Almost, he was banned for a lifetime.
The worst result is that people die, the lamp goes out, and everything becomes empty. But this son is the emperor's grandson, and his life will definitely be saved, but the glory and wealth are probably gone. "
Gu Jiu laughed, "I hope you are prosperous and wealthy, it is better to expect me to come faster."
After a pause, she whispered: "I took a closer look at your majesty's face last night, it was not very good."
"What's wrong?"
Gu Jiu considered it and said, "I suspect that your Majesty has already started taking the alchemy pill. The pill has a refreshing effect and gives the illusion of a strong body.
In fact, elixirs are toxic, have side effects, and can damage internal organs.
Your Majesty’s age should pay attention to what you are entering, not taking medicine randomly, eating a light diet, and going out more. But your majesty's living habits are all reversed. "
Liu Zhao kept moving his hands, "According to you, the emperor's grandfather hasn't been for many years?"
Gu Jiu didn't dare to pack the ticket, so he could only vaguely said, "Maybe."
Liu Zhao smiled softly, "The emperor's grandfather is already in his 60s. It seems that he can't wait for the child in Li Zhaoyi's stomach to grow up. The Lord is weak and the minister is strong, but it is an ominous sign. Unless the emperor's grandfather is faint, the throne will be passed on. To Li Zhaoyi's child."
"In case, I mean in case, is your Majesty really dizzy at the last moment?"
Liu Zhao said calmly, "At that time, everything that should come will come."
Gu Jiu stared at him, guessing what he meant.
Liu Zhao squeezed the corner of her mouth, "Don't think about it. This young man will live a hundred years."
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Her heartbeat was estimated to be 180, which scared her to death.
No, she has to prepare her way back in advance.
Send people to Jiangnan in advance for layout.
When it came to that day, it was a big deal that she retreated to Jiangnan and went to sea.
Bring hundreds of thousands of warriors and go overseas to rule the king.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Zhao asked her.
Gu Jiu came back to his senses, "I was thinking about business matters. It is said that there is gold everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. I plan to send someone over to see if I can find business opportunities."
Liu Zhao said, "The business of the jewelry store is not bad."
Gu Jiu nodded, "The capital lacks everything, but there is no shortage of rich people. Rich people are willing to spend money to enjoy unique products. The half-year income of Zhenbaozhai is worth the income of the drugstore for several years."
"You are profiteering."
"What this lady does is profiteering business. And unlike others, this lady does not pay taxes, but this lady pays taxes according to the rules, and pays no less to the court."
Liu Zhao was surprised, "Are you still paying taxes?"
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes to him, "Do you know why the income of the Ministry of Households is getting less and less? It is because the industries that make money are in the hands of officials, and these officials refuse to pay taxes.
Therefore, a strange phenomenon appeared. The market became more and more popular, and more and more people made money from trading, but the court's commercial tax was getting less and less.
The court had no money, so it had to increase taxes on the people. The people were overwhelmed, and finally, bang, exploded! "
"Unexpectedly, you still understand the economy and people's livelihood."
"What's the problem? Anyone with a brain knows the crux of the problem, but no one mentions it. Because the people standing in the hall are all vested interests. Collecting taxes is equivalent to collecting taxes from them. They are naturally unwilling to cut meat."
Liu Zhao took a meal, "You are right. Those people standing in the court are all vested interests. They will never pay a penny of tax unless they are forced to use force.
As for whether the court has money or not, it doesn't matter. They have money anyway. Even if the sky changes, the big deal will be changed, and you can continue to be an official in the new dynasty.
Those who died were all members of the royal family of the old dynasty, and not their own lives, so why bother. "
Gu Jiu laughed, "As a member of the royal family, how do you feel?"
"My heart is cold."
Gu Jiu said: "The law is like this, there is no way to change it. Even if you want to change it, there are many obstacles. A powerful person like your Majesty can't change it.
Liu Zhao said: "The imperial grandfather refused to change, perhaps because he lacked a clear understanding of the wealth in the hands of officials.
The officials clearly hold ninety wealth in their hands. Someone deliberately misleads that there are only ten wealth in the officials' hands.
The world's wealth is nothing but the emperor's grandfather will naturally not set the table for this little money and re-establish the rules. "
Gu Jiu looked sideways at Liu Zhao, his statement is more true.
Deception is the only magic weapon for officials.
Just like Master Gu, the family doesn't need money, but he still complains about the poor in front of his colleagues.
These days, it is correct to call poor.
It is like the princess Huyang, who is called poor every three days and can always get some money from the palace.
Gu Jiu squeezed Liu Zhao's cheek, "Even if you know the crux of the matter, you will not be able to change it."
Liu Zhao held Gu Jiu's hand, "My son is indeed powerless to change now. In the future, there may not be no chance."
"Do you want to rebel?" Gu Jiu asked in a low voice.
Liu Zhao scratched Gu Jiu's nose, "My grandson is a grandson, he is already qualified to fight, why rebellion? Don't think about it."
Gu Jiu murmured secretly, "But when I see you, I feel that you are rebellious for the first time, and one day you will devote yourself to the cause of rebellion.
"Nonsense." Liu Zhao chided softly.
Gu Jiu wrinkled his nose, "Is it nonsense? Time will tell. Actually, I don't want to worry about what you are doing outside. It's exhausting."
Liu Zhao laughed, "You can take care of my internal affairs and take care of our industry."
Gu Jiu snorted, "I am your household book, and I hold money specifically for you."
"Accurately, you are my son's Shaofu Tongcheng, who specializes in making money for my son."
Beautiful to you!
"My lady intends to go to Shaofu to choose Huangmen after the Lantern Festival, but it is in your name. The quota under my name has been used up, and I can only use yours."
As the emperor's grandson's wife, Gu Jiu can only be served by up to four eunuchs. One more is to exceed the limit.
But she can borrow the name of Liu Zhao.
As a grandson of the emperor, Liu Zhao has sixteen places.
