Chapter 93
There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are determined.
Although his face is not good, Gu Zhen, the newly appointed chief minister of the cabinet, found a high-sounding reason to give his daughter-in-law a book and a letter of separation, and asked Su Li to move out with Shan Ge'er. Lu Yurong has his own dowry shop and fields in the capital, and a house left by Mr. Lu, who will live here for the time being.
Five-year-old Shan Ge'er couldn't understand why her mother moved out. He missed her grandfather and her uncle's family.
Su Li hugged the innocent Shan Ge'er and said with a lonely expression: "It's not that my mother wants to move out, it's because my grandfather wants her to marry again. As for why her grandfather wants her to remarry, Brother Shan will naturally understand when she grows up. Now you can't understand if your mother explains. Originally, my grandfather asked her to leave the Gu family by herself, but it was because my grandfather couldn't bear to let Brother Shan Ge'er go and cried and begged her grandfather to allow her to take you away. Brother Shan, my mother made you unable to see your grandfather and grandmother. Would you blame your mother?"
Brother Shan was not curious about the reason why his grandfather wanted his mother to remarry. He only remembered one thing: if his mother hadn't insisted on taking him with him, his grandfather would have left him in the Gu family, and he would never see his mother again!
"No wonder, I just want to live with my mother!" Brother Shan hugged his mother hard, and said in fear.
Su Li's head was against the boy's little head and gently twitched: "Brother Shan, actually, my mother doesn't want to remarry at all. She just wants to be a widow for your father for the rest of her life, but she can't make the decision. My mother knelt down and begged your grandfather, but he refused to agree. My mother felt really miserable."
As soon as she cried, Brother Shan also started to cry. Because it was her grandfather who made her mom cry, Brother Shan began to complain about her grandfather in her little heart.
Su Li wanted to make Brother Shan hate Gu Zhen.
If she did not explain her difficulties and did not let Brother Shan see that she was forced to leave the Gu family, Brother Shan may misunderstand that when she grew up, her mother would betray her father and betray the Gu family. Especially after Brother Shan came into contact with the Gu family, those people would definitely brainwash Shan Ge'er in various ways, so Su Li would explain the matter clearly now and not give those people the opportunity to turn black and white.
Brother Shan was really filial to his mother. He saw that his mother was not happy. Brother Shan never mentioned the people from the Gu family again. The little boy became more sensible. He used to be playful and naughty. Now he took the initiative to tell his mother that he wanted to study and practice calligraphy, and hoped that his mother would ask him for a teacher.
Su Li was relieved to ask the old servant of the Lu family to look for a teacher.
But Su Li knew that this was just a show for Brother Shan to show.
Sure enough, the teacher had not yet chosen it, and the palace issued an order to choose a small selection in the capital. This time the small selection criteria were the young widow who had given birth to a son, with factors such as appearance, body, talent and other factors.
Su Li, who had just left, met the conditions and was taken to the palace the next day for a brief moment. There were eight beautiful girls in total. In addition to Su Li, Mingzong also chose two of them. After the small selection, Su Li was arranged to move into the Qiuyue Palace next to the cold palace. The next day, Shan Ge'er was picked up and reunited with Su Li.
Qiuyue Palace is actually a small courtyard. Su Li moved into the upper room and Shan Ge'er was arranged to cross the courtyard.
On the afternoon of the afternoon when Brother Shan entered the palace, Wei Rong, the eunuch beside Emperor Mingzong, came over to preach the rules for Su Li.
Wei Rong brought a female teacher here. This was the teacher arranged by Emperor Mingzong for Shan Geer according to Su Li's conditions. For the time being, when Su Li successfully gave birth to the eldest prince, Emperor Mingzong would arrange for Shan Geer to go to the imperial study room to listen to the lecture with the little princesses. In a few years, when the eldest prince grows up, Shan Geer will naturally be the eldest prince's companion.
Su Li lowered her head and thanked her.
Wei Rong asked the little eunuch from Qiuyue Palace to take the female master and Shan Ge'er to settle in the courtyard to get familiar with each other.
The first thing was solved. Wei Rong sent the eunuch he brought to guard outside, and he wanted to explain some things to Su Li alone.
The little eunuch went out to guard.
Wei Rong looked at the second wife of the Gu family, Lu, who was opposite, and saw that she was wearing a white dress, beautiful and graceful figure, but she was not the so-called Yi Nanxiang with a round butt, but she had a pitiful look. If it weren't for the slander Yao Minzhong who tried his best to please Emperor Mingzong, and he was attracted by the news that her two sisters had three sons in a row, she would never have fallen into this with her figure and identity.
Wei Rong felt sympathy for these women who were forced to enter the palace in his heart, but unfortunately everyone has their own fate.
Wei Rong began to preach the rules for Su Li: "I know you are not willing to enter the palace, but since you are in, you should accept your fate and serve the emperor wholeheartedly. Fortunately, you really gave birth to a prince..."
He said expressionlessly.
Su Li took the opportunity to take a good look at the former eunuch Wei Rong, the eunuch Wei.
Because of physiological problems, eunuchs are all feminine and less masculine than normal men.
This Eunuch Wei was no exception. At least he looked feminine. He was about thirty years old. He bent over his waist when he spoke. The dark purple round-necked robe outlined his slender figure. A black jade belt was tied around his waist. His narrow waist looked even thinner than a woman. Together with his beautiful face, he made his feminine aura stronger.
Anyone who has seen Wei Rong will suspect that he is actually a fake eunuch.
Su Li knew the truth because she had seen the life of pomegranate. Even after the pomegranate died, Lingzhu showed the endings of other important characters.
Why is Wei Rong important?
Because it was after Shan Ge'er's death, when Gu Zhen and Mingzong joined forces to conceal the matter, Wei Rong secretly told Lu Yurong about Shan Ge'er's death, which made Lu Yurong anxious and was blocked by the palace servants, causing miscarriage. In the end, he was so sad that he committed suicide by hanging himself.
Why did Wei Rong do this?
Because he was the nephew of Mingzong. When Mingzong plotted to rebel and usurped the throne, he killed fifteen other princes and their family in one go. Wei Rong's father was the fifth prince Shun. Shun Wang was honest and honest, and had no intention of competing for the crown prince with his brothers. He ate, drank, and had fun every day to enjoy the peace and happiness. The focus of Mingzong's killing was on those ambitious princes. The rebels who arranged for the encirclement and suppression of Shun's palace were slightly insufficient, which made Princess Shun have time to arrange for her loyal servants to send one of her newborn twins out. After the fierce death of the people around him, she insisted that she had only one.
The rebels arrived soon, and the group of people were red in their eyes and chopped them up when they came in. They had never verified how many princess Shun had given birth to.
In the end, more than 100 lives from the Shun Palace were listed as a list and presented to Emperor Mingzong.
Mingzong would never have thought that the most unambitious King Shun was the luckiest, and secretly left a son to live in the world.
That son is Wei Rong.
The loyal servants around Princess Shun were really loyal. While teaching the young master to avenge the Shun Wang family, he contacted his old friends in the palace to discuss how to avenge. After more than ten years of planning, the loyal servants and old friends joined forces to send Wei Rong into the palace to be a fake eunuch. The goal was to first gain the trust of Emperor Mingzong to master the power of internal affairs in the palace, and then look for opportunities to overthrow the tyrant and succeed to the throne with the only bloodline left by the fifteen princes.
In order to realize this plan, Wei Rong received three years of pre-job training for eunuchs before entering the palace, and was fully proficient in the words and deeds of a real eunuch. The loyal servant also received the help of an old palace maid. The old palace maid taught Wei Rong a magical makeup technique. Wei Rong deliberately trimmed his eyebrows and slightly melted the corners of his eyes, and the woman's femininity came out.
Of course, Wei Rong's natural handsome facial features also provided a prerequisite for him to pretend to be feminine.
The loyal servants' connections are all in the palace, either eunuchs or palace maids. They can easily expose their identities and cause death. Wei Rong had no choice but to enter the palace to get close to Mingzong, gain the trust of Mingzong, and then carefully plan this path step by step.
After making enough preparations, the fourteen-year-old Wei Rong entered the palace.
Wei Rong was scheming and was good at enduring. With the support of a handful of confidants and his own disdainful efforts, three years ago, Wei Rong finally became a major eunuch around Mingzong. The eunuchs and palace maids in the inner court were under his control, and even the ministers of the previous dynasty had to give him some face.
After Lu Yurong's death, Emperor Mingzong was furious and withdrew Gu Zhen's position as chief minister. Wei Rong took the opportunity to recommend a cabinet minister who was close to him, so Wei Rong finally gained the most important ally. Two years later, Emperor Mingzong, who was eager to be a child, died on a concubine. Wei Rong took the opportunity to announce his identity. With the support of the cabinet minister, Emperor Wei Rong ascended the throne and became emperor.
But Wei Rong only received the support of the Beijing officials, and the military power on the frontier was still in the hands of the four sons-in-law of Emperor Mingzong.
Mingzong did not have a prince, but he gave birth to more than 20 princesses, and more than a dozen married adults. Mingzong specially selected the princes-in-law among military generals, and then asked the princes-in-law to take turns to control the military power in the four borders. Each of them led the troops for three years, and once every three years, he changed to other sons-in-law, which prevented the military power from being concentrated in one person for a long time.
As soon as Wei Rong became emperor, the four sons-in-law of Emperor Mingzong united to fight to the capital.
Although Wei Rong eventually broke the alliance of four princes, the civil war in the Central Plains lasted for three years, and the people were in vain. The civil war finally ended. The Hun army in the north rushed south again. Wei Rong mobilized the whole country to fight back. Unfortunately, because of the three years of civil war, the soldiers were not enough to be empty in the national treasury, and Wei Rong eventually became the king of the country.
After Su Li decided to enter the palace, the allies she wanted to win over were Wei Rong, and only Wei Rong.
The old emperor of Mingzong was old and cruel. He didn't treat pomegranates as humans before, so Su Li didn't want to sleep with the old emperor, but Su Li couldn't kill the old emperor directly because the old emperor died at her hands. She would definitely be pursued for the crime of regicide and had nowhere to escape.
She didn't want to sleep for the old emperor, but she had to make a living under the eyes of the old emperor. Su Li thought about it and only Wei Rong could help her.
The imperial power is the greatest. Whether Su Li or Wei Rong, if they want to achieve the purpose of revenge, they must deal with Emperor Mingzong, and one of their allies will become the emperor himself.
Wei Rong's path to becoming emperor has been proven to be unsuccessful, because Mingzong was cruel and domineering. As long as he had no prince, he would always let his son-in-law and son-in-law take control of military power. Anyone who would persuade him to change other military generals would be considered to have ulterior motives by Mingzong. This is also the reason why Wei Rong had never dared to have the idea of military power in the palace for many years.
Wei Rong could not be called emperor, and it was even more impossible for Su Li to be a woman with a foreign surname.
But the prince in Su Li's belly can.
As long as Su Li gave birth to a prince, Mingzong would definitely take back the military power of his son-in-law and son-in-law for his son-in-law's plan. When Su Li and Wei Rong truly solve all the problems, the two of them could join forces to kill Mingzong.
What Su Li wants to do now is to borrow seeds from Wei Rong.
Only when Wei Rong has the means to secretly go to Chen Cang with her, can Wei Rong fully support his own children and Su Li gain a truly unbreakable ally.
