714.714: No promotion without merit!
Meng Huaijin was unwilling to be a queen or a concubine, so he wanted to adopt a child from the royal family!
If this news is released, the royal family will be ready to move, and the court officials will be stubborn and advise them to death.
The Great Wei Dynasty was not an emperor who had inherited his descendants, but it was the previous emperor who could not give birth to a son, so he could not choose his descendants from the royal family. If he didn't work hard until the last few years of his life, no man was willing to admit that he could not give birth to a son... He didn't even try it, but how could he know that the emperor who could not give birth to a descendant could not be established. Throughout history, it was as rare as Cheng Qing's "Six Yuan Di" and was unrecorded!
The Queen Mother couldn't understand Meng Huaijin's thoughts now.
If you say you like Cheng Qing, have you already given up?
If you agree to Cheng Qing pretending to be a fake person and make a comeback, what else can Meng Huaijin be dissatisfied with?
Meng Huaijin told her that she did not want to establish a queen, not only Sun Xiaozi, but also Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing was the top scholar who ranked six yuan and was a pillar minister who was useful to the country and the people. If the Empress Dowager defined Cheng Qing as the pursuit of an ordinary woman, it would be an insult to Cheng Qing. Please ask the Empress Dowager not to mention this matter again.
"The Ai family doesn't believe it. She is willing to struggle in the officialdom, but she is unwilling to enter the palace to be the queen!"
"You'd better believe it. How many days will you be happy after being a queen for so many years?"
The Empress Dowager subconsciously retorted: "That's different. The late emperor is the late emperor, you are you. If you establish the queen, you must be your beloved person. How could you--"
The Queen Mother's words gradually faded.
Once upon a time, she was also Xiao Yuzhong's beloved person.
The Empress Dowager could not deny this. If Xiao Yuzhong had false intentions towards her, she would not have married Xiao Yuzhong back then.
Marrying Xiao Yuzhong and becoming a royal daughter-in-law meant losing "freedom". The Empress Dowager also repeatedly considered Xiao Yuzhong's proposal.
Later, this relationship gradually deteriorated until the couple turned against each other, and their momentum was like water and fire, and they hated each other.
"I am a friend of Cheng Qing, not a brother, but better than a brother! The "brothers" of Xiang and Shu, they want to seek benefits from me and will please me. If they have the opportunity to replace them, they will not be stingy to try it. Those who are loyal to Gao and Master Mei are loyal to the "emperor". Whoever sits on the dragon throne will be loyal to whom. These loyal ministers also have their own selfish intentions. They want authority and support their children and nephews... The emperor is the only one who is the queen, concubine or child, they all want. If you have to let Cheng Qing be the queen, it will make me lose a trustworthy friend."
For the emperor, the treasures, delicacies and beautiful ladies in the world are within their reach, but there are almost no "friends" who are absolutely trustworthy.
The Empress Dowager is Meng Huaijin's aunt. She cherishes Meng Huaijin because Meng Huaijin is a member of the Gu family and the relative closest relative to the Empress Dowager in this world.
If the Gu family had other children and nephews, Meng Huaijin was not the only choice for the empress dowager.
If the Empress Dowager's son did not die young, it would not be Meng Huaijin's turn to be the emperor!
In order to win the trust of Xiao Yuzhong, the empress dowager concealed Meng Huaijin's plan to take over Meng Huaijin's adoptive mother, Mrs. Meng.
Mrs. Meng is Meng Huaijin's adoptive mother and a loyal maid of the Gu family. She once thought that Meng Huaijin was not a member of the Gu family and thought that she had raised her son for the emperor, and she was emotionally broken.
It is not because Mrs. Meng’s love for Meng Huaijin was mixed, but Mrs. Meng’s love was indeed a reason.
If Meng Huaijin was not the only bloodline of the Gu family, Mrs. Meng would not devote all her efforts to raise and take care of her!
Meng Huaijin understands all this, and understands it, and is willing to shoulder the responsibility.
Understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that Meng Huaijin does not want purer feelings.
A person who doesn't expect him to avenge him, doesn't care if he is a poor family, a descendant of the Marquis' Mansion, or turns himself into a crown prince, and the emperor can trust him and help him regardless of gains and losses - so far, isn't there only one Cheng Qing?
If you have to say that this is just a relationship between men and women, it is a bit narrow-minded.
When he met Cheng Qing in the academy, he did not know that Cheng Qing was a daughter, and her gender was not important. What was important was that as early as Nanyi Academy, when he was teaching Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing's weak foundation in scientific research could not cover up Cheng Qing's vision. Meng Huaijin was often amazed by Cheng Qing's idea that Cheng Qing seemed to be wild but was actually sincere and broad... They trust each other and like-minded close friends were something that Meng Huaijin wanted to cherish. After becoming the emperor, Meng Huaijin knew even more about how rare it was.
Meng Huaijin spoke seriously, and the empress dowager had to be careful.
The Empress Dowager is not a friend who easily admits defeat and trusts? The Empress Dowager trusts the Virtue, but it took more than 20 years to prove that she is indeed worthy of the Empress Dowager's trust.
Meng Huaijin and Cheng Qing, where are they following!
"Others will ask you for official positions and power. Why do you think Cheng Qing doesn't know? If she is the case, how can other court officials be promoted? She also needs to be like others. She must not be promoted unless she has great achievements. Although the Ai family is in poor health, in order to watch her climb up steadily, she must work hard to live a few more years!"
Regarding this, Meng Huaijin did not want to argue with the Empress Dowager.
If it weren't for the fear of Cheng Zhiyuan's troubled throne ceremony and the investigation of Cheng Rong's death, Cheng Qing would have gone back to the northwest long ago!
My aunt thought Cheng Qing yearned for high-ranking officials and generous salaries to stay in the capital and refused to leave, but she didn't know that Cheng Qing was a person who enjoyed wealth and could withstand poverty. Or some people were greedy for the prosperous capital and only wanted to stay in Beijing as an official in Beijing. In order to live a comfortable and good life, Cheng Qing would choose to make the barren areas prosperous!
Meng Huaijin and the Empress Dowager each had their own opinions on Cheng Qing, and no one could convince anyone. The stalemate was in the end and the two parted in disagreement.
Concubine Xian brought back the bird's nest porridge cooked in the kitchen and Kaiwei:
"Isn't Your Majesty the same as you? Now that the country has not yet passed, it is too early for you to let Your Majesty be appointed."
Now I don’t want to establish a future generation, but I still don’t want to live two or three years?
After working hard in the previous dynasty for a day, he returned to the harem and had no one around him who could speak intimate words. In such a life, the Xian Taifei did not believe that Meng Huaijin could live on forever.
The Queen Mother was worried secretly: If Huai Jin was really like her, she would not compromise easily.
There is no other good way now. Meng Huaijin is unwilling to establish a queen, so he brings out the etiquette of his ancestors to suppress his wedding, and he will not touch the queen at all.
Meng Huaijin became the emperor because the empress dowager worked hard to plan. She could not let the court officials know that Meng Huaijin had this idea. As the virtuous concubine said, she had to use "filial piety" to delay and cover up.
The Empress Dowager didn't believe what Meng Huaijin said was a friend and brotherly relationship with Cheng Qing. She said that Cheng Qing would not be promoted unless she was a meritorious person, but she forced Cheng Qing to leave the capital as soon as possible, and did not want Cheng Qing to continue to influence Meng Huaijin.
After walking far away, the influence on Huai Jin may fade!
