The empress dowager smiled. ”Do you really want to listen to This Dowager's opinion? This one will talk about it. ”
”Please speak, Granny.” Xuan Ye nodded seriously.
The corners of the empress dowager's lips curled up slightly. Her voice was calm but firm as she replied, ”I will make an insurance policy for you to become the crown prince and the Imperial Concubine Zhao to be the empress.”
”What?” ”All of them?” Xuan Ye asked in surprise.
”We have to establish both sides so that we can rope them in, don't we? Let them and their trusted aides serve the Emperor more on the battlefield. As for Imperial Concubine Zhao, we can set up the cake after two years. The empress dowager nodded her head softly.
”Oh, my royal grandson, now that you are older, my royal grandmother can't force you to do anything anymore. My royal grandmother can only put this principle in front of you, if you want to find the foundation of the Great Qing, I know that you will understand how to do it.” The empress dowager sighed softly.
”But …” ”Rong'er will be giving birth soon …” Xuan Ye whispered.
The empress dowager said bitterly, ”Grandson, even if Rong'er gave birth to a prince, do you think you can make him your crown prince? This grandmother knows what you are thinking, but for the past few years, you have treated Cheng Rui and the other princes much better than me. I know what your intentions are, but … ”The matter of setting up a store is now extremely urgent. With Rong'er's background, and her child as the ruler, the ministers and princes would definitely not accept it.” The empress dowager sighed, ”Grandson, Rong'er doesn't have that kind of luck. If her father was a military general, he could have sent his father to the battlefield to perform meritorious deeds and raise his status. But unfortunately, his father is a civil servant, and in this chaotic world, only generals are needed.
”Royal Grandmother, why is my grandson so powerless when he holds court? Your grandson will feel that he is very useless! ” Xuan Ye sighed.
”Grandson, I watched your father grow up, and I watched you grow up again.” ”Back then, your father was about the same age as you, so I believe you should be feeling the same way now. Back then, your father was also full of ambition to be a good emperor, but the contradictions between officials of the imperial court, the contradictions between ministers of the imperial court, and every single day, he found out that even if he was an emperor, it was not that easy to do everything he wanted. The voices of the ministers opposing him would make him feel powerless, and all of these often made him feel exhausted.
”Royal Grandmother …” Xuan Ye knew that her royal grandmother's words were irrefutable.
”Grandson, you have to understand this, understand this, understand this! You are the Son of Heaven! You're a chess player! All the princes and ministers, all the imperial concubines, and even the royal grandmother! It was all because of the chess pieces in your hands. You were the one who took the chess pieces, not the one who let the chess pieces influence how you took them. Every chess piece you played had one purpose in mind: to win! You are the Emperor, this... It's your destiny to be the one who takes the initiative to play chess and wins, or to be the one who loses, you choose! ” The empress dowager's eyes were wide open as she stared at Xuan Ye.
”Royal Grandmother, your grandson understands!” Xuan Xuan nodded his head. That's right, he was currently playing a game of chess with Wu Sanguan and the rest. In order to win this game, he had to use whatever method he could, any chess piece, regardless of whether he liked it or not. As long as he could win, it would be a good game. This was his fate!
At the beginning of June, Xuan Ye sent a message to the Ministry of Rites, in order to ensure that the foundations of the emperor had been extended and that the Great Qing would be able to maintain peace and stability for a long period of time. This was the name of a great country, and it was an auspicious omen in the clan and would not disappoint its subjects.
At the same time, it was also said that three years later, the Emperor intended for the Imperial Concubine Zhao to be the Empress and wanted to rope them in.
Xuan Ye was truly moved. Rong'er had never had any ambitions in the palace, but he still hoped that Rong'er would give birth to a prince. He would still wholeheartedly help protect the crown prince's life, help protect the crown prince, and help to protect the crown prince's future.
