After some discussion between the two of them, Empress Dowager Jin was finally persuaded by her son and agreed to go to Qiao Mu the next day to say goodbye and admit her mistake.

However, her expression skills are really poor enough, and those who can't act can see her forbearance, let alone Qiao Mu, but for the sake of Emperor Anping's face that he had come over overnight to ask for sin, Qiao Mu didn't say anything in the end.

I just sent her away quickly.

At the same time, Qiao Mu also made a determination in his heart, that is, he must not hand over the phoenix seal to the Empress Dowager Jin, and would rather hold the phoenix seal in his hand for a few more years, and wait for Emperor Anping to hand it over directly to the queen after his wedding, rather than give it to the Empress Dowager Jin.

Otherwise, there may be a lot of trouble.

Qiao Mu didn't want to clean up the mess for others, or be wronged because of this.

After that, Qiao Mu, who didn't want to worry about Emperor Anping's marriage, had to start investigating suitable candidates for him, and try to choose from among the nobles of the family, and choose someone who is sensible and grateful.

lest we repeat the mistakes of the Empress Dowager Jin.

When the time comes, she, the empress dowager and the queen who is in charge of the phoenix seal, will definitely be able to suppress the Empress Dowager Jin from being a demon, and completely cut off the trouble.

Qiao Mu pointed out his attitude here, and those who had ideas naturally began to let their wives enter the palace to ask for peace, or take their daughters to participate in some banquets held by Qiao Mu or something, hoping to make a good impression, even if they can't become queens at that time, mixing a concubine or concubine, they can also help the family.

Of course, Empress Dowager Jin was very cautious and angry about Qiao Mu's behavior, because she still wanted her mother's family to marry Emperor Anping to be the queen.

In this way, she will be able to join forces with the queen to deal with the queen mother, and let her family really enter the top noble circle, if she can have another prince to inherit the throne, then her mother's noble status will be unshakable.

However, when the Empress Dowager Jin specially went to Emperor Anping to complain and expressed her thoughts, Emperor Anping's face immediately changed, and he directly rejected his mother, the Empress Dowager Jin, mercilessly, and said that he would listen to the Empress Dowager in marriage.

Of course, the Empress Dowager Jin was very dissatisfied with her son's attitude, and she cried without listening to the explanation, saying that he was not filial, and forgot to suffer for his mother back then, and then turned around and left, probably thinking that Emperor Anping would not go to Qian'an Palace to apologize and agree with his suggestion, so he would not come to see him.

In this regard, Emperor Anping could only smile bitterly.

And didn't catch up.

"I used to think that the queen mother was quite smart back then, and she did a good job in judging the time.

But when it comes to her uncle's family, she is so irrational and doesn't think about me at all.

If I really marry her maiden daughter.

I'm afraid that the next emperor will have to be the son of the first emperor, why can't she understand the queen mother?

The Empress Dowager's actions are in my favor. ”

Emperor An Ping looked at his mother's distant figure, and couldn't help but say to a person in the shadow on the side with a somewhat depressed mood, and then smiled even more bitterly.

The reason why he rejected his mother was mainly because he also wanted to marry a woman from a family as his queen, not because of how good the women of the family were or how bad the commoners were, but mainly because the women of the family brought him more help and were more conducive to him stabilizing the court.

Let's take an analogy.

If he marries the maiden niece of the Queen Mother.

Then there is almost no benefit except to satisfy his mother and his uncle's family.

Wait until something happens to him or he dies.

The throne has to be given to the crown prince.

That is, the one left by the first emperor.

Because no one will help him.

But if he marries a noble daughter of a family, and marries several in a row, and lets them all give birth to princes, then it is equivalent to taking all the forces behind those noble daughters into his umbrella, and then they don't need Emperor Anping to instruct or hint at anything in order to let the prince born to their own daughter inherit the throne.

They themselves will attack the prince with all their might.

In this way, he can not only achieve his goal, but also pick himself cleanly, innocently, and without malice towards the prince.

The crown prince had an accident or was impeached.

It was all done by someone else.

On the one hand, there is no benefit, and on the other hand, the benefits are so great that they can bless future generations, how to choose Emperor Anping, of course, it is to choose arbor and noble girls!

If you are an emperor, you can't talk about family affection.

Everything is about profit.

What's more, her mother asked him to marry his uncle's niece not because of family affection, but also because of interests, in order to let his uncle's family get more benefits.

"Your Majesty's choice is not wrong.

Although we haven't figured out the true intentions of the Empress Dowager yet, at least what the Empress Dowager is doing is good for you now, so you must stand with the Empress Dowager, otherwise the Empress Dowager will have no choice if she presses down the word filial piety.

Next, you don't have to go to the Qian'an Palace to apologize or ask for guilt, you just need to go to the Qian'an Palace every day to stand for a while, Your Majesty's filial piety and we will promote it for Your Majesty, and you will never tarnish Your Majesty's reputation.

Before the big wedding, Your Majesty's reputation must not be tarnished, and I hope Your Majesty can keep this in mind. ”

The person who became the emperor, even if he did not personally recruit people, there would be people who would directly throw themselves into his arms, at this time from the dark corner, the Li Guyi wearing eunuch clothes was one of them, he relied on the accurate analysis and judgment of the court forces, and successfully won the trust and value of Emperor Anping, and was able to pretend to be a eunuch to serve him and give advice for him.

Of course, this is only temporary.

Wait for Emperor Anping to officially govern himself.

Li Guyi will naturally change his identity.

Elect an official to enter the court as a jinshi.

When the time comes, he will inevitably be able to take advantage of his close relationship with the emperor to be promoted more easily.

This is the main reason why he is willing to pretend to be a eunuch and take the risk to enter the palace to give advice to Emperor Anping, if there is no benefit, who would be willing to take this risk, there is no selfless dedication in this world.

"Of course I know that.

I just don't know if the Empress Dowager has selfishness in her behavior this time, and whether she will bring her mother's descendants into the palace to act as my queen.

Let's hope not.

Otherwise, I'm a little worried. ”

Although Emperor Anping is more satisfied with Qiao Mu's current behavior, he is also not particularly at ease with Qiao Mu, after all, his mother has the idea of letting his uncle's daughter enter the palace as the queen, who can guarantee that the empress dowager does not have similar ideas?

"Your Majesty, don't worry.

According to the investigation of Weichen, there are no marriageable candidates in the Empress Dowager's mother's family, and the Yang and Yin decline of the Yin family are more serious, and only the Empress Dowager is the same generation as the Empress Dowager, and among the younger generations of the Empress Dowager, there are no girls born yet, only a full seventeen nephews.

The other collateral lines are not much better.

In fact, as far as Wei Chen knew, if the Empress Dowager hadn't personally decreed it by Emperor Huiling.

It is estimated that he will not enter the palace at all.

The Yin family has always been prosperous and yin, and they are very good to the girls in the family, so they don't want their daughter to enter the palace. ”

Li Guyi's answer was reasonable.

Emperor Anping was soon convinced.

Don't dwell on it anymore.

Of course, only for the time being.

I want him to have real peace of mind.

That will have to wait for the queen to be decided.
