C1741 The War of Women (1/2)
There was no woman in this world who wasn't jealous. Possession was innate, especially when a woman's possessiveness towards her man was second only to that towards her children.
Seeing that Hu Niu had given birth to a son, it was definitely impossible for him to not feel sad in her heart. This was not only human nature, but also involved a very large amount of conflicts of interest.
For Xiao Letian to live such a luxurious and flourishing life, he must have an heir right? When a woman was beautiful, she could rely on her beauty to obtain everything she wanted. However, there would always be a day when one was old, a day when one needed children.
Fu Hui was originally older than him, and was in no way inferior to the young Hu Niu. This sense of danger had already existed since a long time ago, and even the countless nightmare scenes revolved around the child.
Whether he could live with her or with her was a question of whether he could become a teacher or a student. Whether he could have a boy or a girl was a question of how power would be distributed, how property would be divided, and it would even affect the future political system of the Chinese people.
That's right, Fu Hui was a woman who had grown up within the Eight Banners of the Beijing. He simply did not believe in the Prime Minister system that Xiao Letian mentioned, nor did she believe that Xiao Letian did not dream of being an emperor.
Whose son would become the Crown Prince, would that be related to his happiness in his later years? Or Hu Niu? Or some other woman?
Not only was he fighting for his own benefits, he was also fighting for the Manchu's benefits!
Not long after Fu Hui married into the Xiao family, Empress Dowager Ci An had a secret conversation with her once on the Jingshan. Ci An ordered Fu Hui in a rarely seen strict tone that she had to give birth to a man as soon as possible, and do her best to destroy the possibility of other women giving birth first.
Ci An once sincerely said, ”The best situation in Asia in the future is that Xiao Letian will be overseas while the Great Qing will be inland … Our Manchu must know our place! ”It's already hard enough to defend this continent for 200 years. In order to maintain the balance between all these saints of the Han Dynasty, all of their hearts were broken …”
”But I really didn't expect that the final threat would come from the sea … That's something we don't understand at all. Even the Chinese are blind! Don't you want to explore the sea? It's not that we don't want to, it's that we really don't know how to! ”
”Heh heh, do you know why no one can shake my power while I remain aloof from worldly affairs? Because I sees further than them, people who are truly understanding still have to listen to me … ”
”In the eyes of many Manchu, Xiao Letian is a threat, a scourge, a demon who must be eliminated! ”But I don't think so. On the contrary, I'm willing to give him a way out, allowing him to grow stronger …”
”For no other reason than that he knows how to handle foreign affairs and what the sea is all about... Let him manage those islands properly. I can accept being an overseas king! With him blocking a little, we can at least split half of the pressure from the foreigners. Isn't that good? ”
”You want to kill all of them to eliminate Xiao Letian? Who will understand foreign affairs? Isn't it just allowing foreign devils to bully him? Therefore, Xiao Letian cannot die, and can only be restricted! ”
”But there is a condition to everything. He, Xiao Letian, absolutely cannot lay his hands on the continent. If he dares to enter, I will absolutely not agree to it! So... You... You, Fu Hui, now concerns the welfare of the entire Manchu, so you must give birth to a son. You must allow Xiao Letian to possess a crown prince of Manchu bloodline! ”
