The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

The queen talked a lot, but Helianjue remained silent.

He quietly looked at the queen from the corner of his eye and found that the queen was a little more excited today than in the past.

With 20 years of mother-son love, he knew the queen very well.

Dignified, dignified, generous, decent...

For as long as he could remember, it was rare to see the queen lose control of her emotions.

But today she was acting out of character, and there must be a reason for it.

After the queen finished speaking, seeing that Helian Jue had remained silent, she realized that she had lost her composure, so she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of herbal tea to calm down.

"Your Majesty must be curious as to why I suddenly said these things today."

In fact, it is not too sudden. She has been disappointed with the emperor since he had Concubine Wen three years ago and became dissolute.

But she was disappointed, she still respected the emperor, and the friendship between her husband and wife for more than 20 years was still there.

But all this was ruined at the palace banquet a few days ago.

She could ignore the emperor's snub and favored Concubine Wen alone, but she absolutely could not tolerate Concubine Wen's plans for her son.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jin'er's fall into the water was closely related to Concubine Wen, but the emperor actually defended Concubine Wen, and even scolded her as Jin'er's mother for not taking on the responsibility of protecting Jin'er, which was her fault.

fault?

If there is really a fault, it is the fault of the emperor.

Since he can't govern the country well and protect her children, why should she cling to hopeless feelings? Why not let the country change hands.

She believed that if Helianjue sat on the throne, he would be more suitable than Helianao, an old fool.

"Your grandfather came to Fengyi Palace today, and he talked about you with me."

With one sentence, Helianjue raised his head and looked at the queen.

The emotion in the queen's eyes was very familiar to him, it was exactly the same as the look in Gu Chengfeng's eyes today when she supported him in seizing power.

The grandfather in the Queen's mouth refers not to his biological mother's father, but to the Queen's own father Wang Hanbo, the right minister of the first rank.

The queen's ability to make up her mind was largely due to the right minister.

As the right prime minister, he naturally has a thorough understanding of the court situation.

He realized that whether he could solve the problem of winter clothes for border officers was the key to the rise and fall of Helian.

At this moment, the Helian Kingdom was on the edge of a storm, and a single mistake could lead to it being caught in the violent storm.

Once the winter clothes cannot be transported to the border smoothly, one hundred thousand soldiers at the border will freeze to death.

With the border lost, Helian Kingdom lost its barrier against Mobei.

The nomadic people in Mobei are extremely tough. If they take advantage of the loss of the border and continue southward, and drive straight in, they can capture many cities in Helian in one fell swoop.

Helian Kingdom and Mobei will surely fight to the death, with both sides suffering losses.

The Nalan Kingdom is watching the fire from the other side, waiting for the fire to burn up Mobei and Helian. The Nalan Kingdom will be able to reap the benefits without any effort.

Wang Hanbo's analysis made the queen feel cold all over.

Isn't this exactly what Concubine Wen wants to achieve?

If Helian's country is destroyed, will her Jin'er survive?

The answer is obvious. As the only legitimate son of the Emperor of Helian Kingdom, He Lianjin can survive anyone but he must die.

The right minister analyzed the situation to the letter.

What happened in the previous life did indeed happen according to the right analysis.

However, what happened was more ferocious and unprepared, all because the Gu family was implicated in the nine clans, and no one in Helian could use it.

Such a large country was destroyed in less than a year, and the speed was staggering.

The queen told Helianjue without reservation what her right minister had said.

"Why me? In terms of orthodoxy, Jin'er is more legitimate than me, and...and my grandfather doesn't like me."

Before Jin'er was born, his right relative was pretty good to him, perhaps because he felt that the queen would only have one child in her life.

But since Jin'er was born five years ago, his right minister has become indifferent to him. Not only the right minister, but also almost all the court officials are like this.

The only people whose attitude toward him had not changed were the empress and the Gu family, who remained neutral.

Why not choose He Lianjin, the legitimate son, but choose him, who is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son?

In fact, Helianjue knew it in his heart.

He just wanted to hear her truest thoughts from the Queen's mouth.

The two looked at each other, both trying to find out what was in their hearts from their eyes.

In the end, the queen was defeated.

"Jin'er is only five years old. He is too young. If he is allowed to take that position at this age, he must find some capable ministers to assist him."

"People's hearts are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that those who assist will not lose themselves in power. At that time, they will be able to use the emperor to control the princes, and Jin'er's power will be emptied into a puppet."

"Rather than letting something like this happen, the queen mother would rather choose you."

The queen spoke sincerely and analyzed every sentence logically.

She held Helian Jue's hand with a pleading look in her eyes.

"Although the current situation is turbulent, it is also a good opportunity for you to win over all parties. Your grandfather has promised your mother to stand on your side. As long as you win over the neutrals, you can completely cooperate with Helianzheng and Helian. Huan resists."

The neutral faction is several major families headed by the Gu family.

The Gu family not only has General Gu who holds military power, but also Gu Chengfeng, who is the Minister of War.

As for Lu Yusheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and Yun Yanfu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, one is Gu Wangshu's uncle and the other is Gu Wangshu's uncle.

The Lu family and the Yun family have a close relationship with the Gu family and are both neutral factions.

As long as you gain the favor of the Gu family, it is equivalent to mastering three of the six departments at the same time, namely: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Households.

The queen kept looking into Helian Jue's eyes.

This is the child she spent 20 years cultivating.

Outsiders said that he was weak and incompetent, but only she, a mother, knew that this child was thoughtful and knew how to keep a low profile and hide his strengths and weaknesses.

When the strength is weak, even all the ambitions can only turn into a submissive voice.

"Mencius" said:

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their minds and wills, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Therefore, they must be motivated to endure and strengthen what they cannot."

A "tempered forbearance" contains all the humiliation.

The earth is as low as the sea, and man and earth are king.

She believed that Helian Jue was not incompetent, nor was he truly cowardly. He just knew how to be patient.

"My mother believes that as long as you sit in that position, you will definitely become the wise and benevolent king that the people have been calling for."

"I hope the emperor will make a decision soon. If your father continues to sit in that position, how long can I, Helian, endure?"

Helianjue looked at the queen with complicated eyes.

What the queen mother didn't know was that he was actually ready to fight for power.

Should he tell her?

After thinking about it, Helianjue gave up the idea, not because he didn't believe it, but because the fewer people knew about it, the better.

"It's getting late. Mother, please rest early. I'll take my leave now."

He bowed respectfully to the queen and planned to leave.

There was no joy or sadness on his face, and he was not moved by the Queen's words. Such a reaction was unexpected by the Queen.

"Your Majesty, the Queen hopes you will give a definite answer." The Queen raised her voice.

Helian Jue winked at her.

"Be careful that walls have ears."
