Chapter 673: Bearing Infamy for Nothing
Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said, "I'll just call you a fool."
"You tell me."
"Prince Yongjun is just a distant relative of the clan, so of course he doesn't have much thought about the throne. However, he has a son who is particularly beloved."
"Does this have anything to do with me being a queen?"
"Yes." Zhao Yuanjing said with a smile, "The king of Yongjun loves this son very much, and he always wanted him to be the heir and inherit the throne. But, his son is not a descendant, but a concubine. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always been the law of the emperor. Long, he is not qualified to inherit the throne as a bastard."
Yun Dai smiled and said: "I understand. He supported me to be the empress because I am not a concubine. If I become empress, it will prove that the laws of the Great Zhou are a fart. He can completely disobey and let his beloved concubine inherit the throne." .At that time, the royal family has no position to reprimand him. Because you, the emperor, are not in good health."
Zhao Yuanjing smiled: "You are a little clever."
"The human heart is really sinister." Yun Dai sighed.
"You have to remember that if someone supports you for no reason, there must be a conspiracy to treat you well. If you can't give others benefits, why should they support you?"
Yun Dai thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It's true. My grandfather's family supported me because I was their granddaughter, and it was for family affection. As for those who support Jin Yao, they all have their own plans more or less. .”
Zhao Yuanjing hummed and rubbed against her ear.
Yun Dai turned over, faced him face to face, and asked seriously: "Then what about you?"
"What?"
"What are you thinking in your heart?" Yun Dai asked, "People say that the king's heart is unpredictable. Now everyone thinks that you are trying to make me a queen, so you are in a stalemate with the empress dowager, and have a bad relationship with the Jin family , I have a lot of quarrels with the clan ministers. Now outsiders call me a demon concubine, saying that my beauty is a disaster, a disaster for the country and the people. You have to make it clear to me, don't let me bear the infamy for nothing. "
Zhao Yuanjing couldn't help laughing: "Even the troubles of women have come out, how can it be so serious?"
"Why not? Didn't the three ministers you punished scold me like that? I heard it clearly."
"Look at you, you are narrow-minded, do you still hold grudges?" Zhao Yuanjing pinched her cheek, "I'll tell you the truth, I naturally prefer you to be the queen in my heart. But it doesn't have to be so that it makes you difficult."
"What else do you think about?"
"I just came to the throne, and my control over the government is still very unstable, and I joined forces with the little emperor to cut off the tails of many forces. Many people secretly joined forces to make it difficult for me." Zhao Yuanjing said slowly , "The so-called dispute over the successor is just a superficial introduction. In the final analysis, it is still a power struggle."
"Where is the Empress Dowager?"
"She's doing it for my own good." Zhao Yuanjing said softly, "But I'm not a child, so I don't need her to listen to the government behind the curtain. And those vassal kings still want to have their former fiefs and rights. I can't allow it."
Yun Dai was silent.
She suddenly discovered that being an emperor is really difficult.
The responsibility of such a huge country rests on his shoulders. From the chaos in the harem to the suffering of the people, he has to worry about it. The most hated people in the imperial court only cared about their own rights and status to make troubles.
"So," Zhao Yuanjing gently stroked her soft long hair, "Can you forgive me, because I made you difficult."
