Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Concubine Li Li Yanzhen and Concubine Sun Sun Churuo stayed in Fengyi Palace for quite a while. After coming out, they walked in a hurry. No one knew what the three of them talked about when they got together.

When Qiuyue learned the news and passed it on to her master, she was still confused.

But Shen Yao let out an "oh" and suddenly realized.

It turns out that I am not the only candidate for the queen, and they have other alternatives.

Tsk, after all, there is still some subtle imbalance in my heart.

With a glance, Shen Yao quickly figured out some of the key points.

hum~

Just let them be the backup options. She wants to see whether Concubine Li and Concubine Sun have the strength to support their inflated ambitions.

It is not easy to help the Queen, as most people cannot complete her task.

Besides, it is not easy to owe favors to the Queen. You never know what traps may be waiting for the person who agrees to do so.

Based on various considerations of these circumstances, Shen Yao did not choose to cooperate with the Queen.

But at the same time, it is also human nature that Li Guipin and Sun Jieyu could not overcome their greed and chose to board the Fengyi Palace.

Neither side is wrong; they just have different positions and perspectives.

……

A few days later, when the disaster of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was gradually disappearing, the concubines led by the Queen of Fengyi Palace suddenly attacked the two Empress Dowagers.

To be precise, the attack was directed at the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and the Zheng family behind her, while the Empress Dowager of the Western Palace was just adding fuel to the fire and provoking her a little.

Shen Yao remembered that day was just an ordinary greeting. At the end of the greeting, the queen suddenly called them to stop. She first said a lot of polite words, and then changed the tone and mentioned the many concubines who were poisoned and the several concubines who had miscarriages, and emphasized that this was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

Afterwards, they were all taken by the Queen to the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao just watched the whole process. She listened to the argument between the Queen and the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace, and listened to the explanations of both sides.

Then the emperor appeared, first scolded the queen, then took away the palace maid identified by the queen, and finally did not forget to pretend to apologize to the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace.

"I have thoroughly experienced this today. The arrogant ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones."

The Queen has completely broken off relations with him and doesn't want anything. Empress Dowager Zheng has no way to deal with her.

What happened today was clearly a trap.

Couldn't Zheng Hongzhuang see it? As the winner of the previous palace fight, how could Zheng Hongzhuang not understand the deep meaning of it?

Even if she didn't understand at first, she should have reacted when Xiao Yanchen appeared later.

But in the end, Zheng Hongzhuang could only watch the emperor and empress acting out, have the palace servants take away the people around her, and pretend to be magnanimous by forgiving the empress's impatience and accepting the emperor's perfunctory apology.

Ah!

This is the winner takes all, it's not that complicated. Times are different now than in the past. If you can't win, you can't win. Just accept your bad luck and admit defeat.

However, this time Empress Dowager Zheng's misfortune may not only affect herself, but the Empress and the Emperor are obviously targeting the Zheng family hiding behind Zheng Hongzhuang.

Shen Yao can see things clearly as a bystander because this matter does not involve her own interests and she can understand the true intentions of the emperor and empress.

As someone in authority, Zheng Hongzhuang was able to use her intelligence to figure out that there were other reasons why she was being targeted.

But it was too late. The Eastern Palace was closed for a long time. Zheng Hongzhuang was no longer the Eastern Palace Queen Mother who had the final say. What about the huge Zheng family outside the palace? She could only pray to rely on herself, or ask the emperor to have some mercy.

But will Xiao Yanchen show mercy to his enemies?

Over the years, the Zheng family has used the names of Zheng Hongzhuang and Xiao Yanchen to secretly do many sneaky things to discredit the royal family.

Before, Xiao Yanchen was still immature, so he could only swallow his resentment and endure the other party.

But now the identities of both parties have been reversed, so Xiao Yanchen will naturally seek revenge when there is revenge, and seek justice when there is injustice.

Since Shen Yao came back from the Eastern Palace, she has been staying in the Weiyang Palace without going out.

Until there was a sudden movement in the previous dynasty, Xiao Yanchen suddenly launched an attack in the court, taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and digging out all the bad things that the Zheng family had done over the years.

It was truly revealed without any concealment.

Also because there was no intention of covering up, the censors who were always discerning began to write letters to the emperor asking for criticism.

Who among you hasn't collected some of the bullshit stories about certain families? There are so many of them that they are too numerous to count.

Now that the emperor is openly attacking the Zheng family, what does that mean? It means that the emperor has a plan to attack the Zheng family, and those officials who want to take advantage of the opportunity must hurry up.

As these thoughts turned over in his mind, the memorials impeaching the Zheng family began to fall like snowflakes, hitting the Zheng family's heads one by one.

Zheng Jia, who hasn’t reacted yet: …? ! ! !

My goodness, they are the maternal family of the Empress Dowager Donggong, the extremely powerful Zheng family!

How did the emperor ascend to the throne in the first place? He is so ungrateful that he is unworthy of being an emperor.

The Zheng family also began to write letters to defend themselves. After all, these were normal operations after being impeached. By the way, the Zheng family also persuaded some of his in-laws and subordinates to help him.

Unfortunately, the Zheng family did not understand Xiao Yanchen's determination to deal with them.

In fact, because of the help of other people, Xiao Yanchen even hated the Zheng family even more.

It was originally only five points, but now it has risen to eight points, and the remaining two points can be added at any time.

Shen Yao just sat in the Weiyang Palace and listened to Qiuyue delivering news from the court to her three times a day.

The news has a progressive relationship, starting with ease and comfort and ending with bloodshed.

Xiao Yanchen took action and targeted the Zheng family, so it was impossible for there to be no bloodshed.

Moreover, when facing such an old family, if you don't teach them a lesson, others will not be afraid. If you teach them a lesson, they will have other thoughts.

It was difficult to strike the right balance. At least Shen Yao couldn't figure out how Xiao Yanchen would deal with it. Would he only deal with the Zheng family's direct branch? That would have too many people, not to mention the huge number of side branches and in-laws, which would be enough to give people a headache.

"If there is any latest news, please tell me in time."

Shen Yao directly contacted the system in her mind. Compared with Qiuyue running back and forth, Shen Yao still felt that the system was the fastest way to do this.

As expected, the system rejected Shen Yao's plan and gave a clear reason, saying it could not reveal too much.

Shen Yao rolled her eyes and leaned back on the couch to relax. "You usually talk a lot, and this time, the Zheng family will fall, the queen will fall, and the queen mother will also fall.

Now that there are no people blocking the way ahead, I, the host, can ascend to the throne smoothly.

How can I prepare if you don't inform me of the situation in time? "

system:……

The system was speechless and could only respond with a “hmm” as its consent.

It’s because the reasons given by Shen Yao are very sufficient. At least the system really believes that Shen Yao’s ascension to the throne (becoming queen) will be beneficial to both of them.

This system of having children is not about simply not being able to afford having children, but it is more cost-effective if the offspring born achieve good results.

The child-bearing system is not just as easy to understand as its name suggests. It hides deeper meanings, which is the reason why Shen Yao and the system cooperate in multiple worlds.

Otherwise, he would simply be treated as a tool by the system to complete the task. Given Shen Yao's temper, he could endure it, but not for too long.

Essentially, Shen Yao was too proud in her first life. She lived confidently and comfortably, and would not consider anyone's feelings above her bottom line.

How could she, who is like this, lose the bottom line that she holds on to most in her heart?

After talking to the system, Shen Yao continued to stay in Weiyang Palace and focus on herself.

However, because of the system as an information channel, Shen Yao can be said to have full control over the situation.

When Xiao Yanchen ordered the purge and suppression of the entire direct branch of the Zheng family, the news of Zheng Hongzhuang's death suddenly came from the Empress Dowager Donggong, who had been quiet.

That’s right, Zheng Hongzhuang, the legitimate wife of the retired emperor, the Empress Dowager Zheng who had previously caused trouble in the palace, left the palace quietly and eye-catchingly.

These are two very contradictory adjectives, or in other words, they have contradictory meanings.

But at this moment, it is surprisingly appropriate to use it on Zheng Hongzhuang.

Zheng Hongzhuang’s death directly affected the way Xiao Yanchen dealt with the Zheng family.

The court officials, who were like quails and dared not say a word, fully demonstrated what it meant for the noble families to stick together.

They frantically submitted petitions to plead for the Zheng family and those related to the Zheng family.

Xiao Yanchen remained unusually silent until three days later when he made new arrangements for the Zheng family.

Except for several core figures of the Zheng family who had to die, those who were originally sentenced to death were sentenced to exile to the frontier, those who were originally exiled to the frontier were just demoted to ordinary commoners, and those who were originally ordinary commoners were able to earn some money to settle down and become small wealthy people.

When the court officials heard the result, they praised the emperor for his wisdom while secretly supporting and promoting the Zheng family.

Xiao Yanchen saw it but didn't take it to heart. If he didn't even think of this, he wouldn't have dealt with the Zheng family in this way.

After all, it was because Zheng Hongzhuang died too timely, and Xiao Yanchen had to go easy on the Zheng family.

"In order to continue the family line, Queen Mother Zheng made such a sacrifice. Is it really worth it?"

He was even willing to sacrifice himself, causing his life, which should have been long, to come to an abrupt end.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Shen Yao sat on the couch and sighed with the system in her mind.

Anyway, given how much Shen Yao values ​​her family, she would rather not go to such an extent. Being self-centered is not just a simple saying.

The system feels that this is in line with the feudal society's restrictive thinking on women. After all, women have always been brainwashed in this way, and sacrificing for the family is something they think is natural.

Shen Yao sneered, thinking that it was no wonder that such a feudal society would go to destruction, and anti-human things were destined not to exist for long.

“However, thanks to Queen Mother Zheng’s courage, the Zheng family was able to retain a trace of their bloodline.

As long as the descendants are strong and have a large network of in-laws and relationships, it is only natural that the Zheng family will rise.”

This is the terrifying thing about aristocratic families. As long as they are not completely killed, they will always have a chance to make a comeback.

No wonder the imperial power and the aristocratic families belong to two different camps, because their interests are completely contradictory, and if one gains, the other will surely be suppressed.

What Xiao Yanchen is doing now is to make a show of force to scare the tigers and at the same time intimidate the officials in the court.

Tell those "local emperors" in Dajing that Dajing is still the Xiao family's world, and it is best not to have any unnecessary thoughts.

call

It was a really exciting game, but it had nothing to do with Shen Yao.

Shen Yao was still a minor concubine in the palace. She was not involved in much, and even the Shen family had no presence in it.

This is not Shen Yao’s fault, and even less the Shen family’s.

Shen Yao didn't want to get involved at all. Besides, she had several children. Why should she get involved in a situation where she was sitting pretty?

The Shen family is because Shen Yao’s adopted grandmother can control Shen Yao’s biological father.

Shen Yao's biological father can't cause trouble, and besides Shen Yao, no one else in the Shen family has any weight, so he was left out. Now it has become the key for the Shen family to stay out of trouble.

After the turmoil in the Zheng family passed, many positions became vacant in the court.

In order to stabilize the regime, Xiao Yanchen naturally had to appease and promote the court officials.

Among them, Shen Yao’s biological father once again rose from the fourth rank to the third rank.

It was still a useless and idle official position, but the emperor wanted to give it, and other people’s objections were useless. They could only watch Shen Yao’s father ascend to the throne.

However, this time, people would not attribute the reason why Shen Yao's father was promoted to Shen Yao, because all the candidates for promotion this time were people who were not involved with the Zheng family, and Shen Yao's father just took advantage of it.

What's more, there are many people who take advantage of others. Shen Yao's father is only a third-rank official. Sorry, I don't even look at him.

Shen Yao and the Shen family stayed out of the storm, waiting until the matter came to an end.

In fact, it was not peaceful at all. Not long after the funeral of Empress Dowager Zheng ended, the Queen of Fengyi Palace fell ill.

The illness was so serious that at one point I couldn't get out of bed.

Shen Yao once went to visit with other concubines, and happened to catch the sleeping queen talking in her sleep.

The dream talking was very clear, at least with Shen Yao's hearing, she could hear it clearly.

Ha, interesting.

The queen apologized out of guilt, expressed her apologies to the queen mother, and blamed herself for the mistakes she made in managing the palace affairs.

Anyway, the whole thing was just a confession, and everyone who could hear it looked at each other in bewilderment.

Because there were so many people, even though the queen woke up later and explained her words and actions to them, the news still spread and was known to everyone in the harem.

The source is no longer traceable. Shen Yao watched with cold eyes as the queen's reputation for virtue became more and more famous, and she couldn't help but admire this man's ability to be ruthless to her.

Whether it was the plot against herself before, or the later collaboration with Li Guipin and Sun Jieyu, or the plot against Queen Mother Zheng, the Queen showed an excellent sense of smell and sensitivity.

Hey

Queen, you want to make some arrangements for your affairs before you leave.

Shen Yao's guess turned out to be correct. Wei Jingyi made such an apology in a dream just to have a normal excuse to resign from her throne as queen.

Wei Jingyi gave up the position of queen because Xiao Yanchen offered her a choice between the two. In fact, she is no different from Zheng Hongzhuang in essence.

Wei Jingyi herself was reluctant to give up the position of queen, but there was no other way. Family was more important than the position of queen, so she could only make sacrifices like Zheng Hongzhuang.

Even the empress dowager can die, how special can she, a mere queen, be?
