"For the queen, I don't want any reward." After listening to the question of Xie Daoqing, the empress of her master, the maid of honor went to bed.

Empress Xie Daoqing said: "the principle of our palace in treating people around us is to reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes."

"You give advice to our palace. If you get credit, we must reward you." She added.

The maid in waiting said, "the maid is not respectful."

"In the future, if the prince adopted by our palace becomes the crown prince, then we will give you to the future crown prince." Queen Xie Daoqing.

She added: "you can't be the crown princess, but in the face of our palace, it's OK to let you be a side room."

If it's the side room of the future prince, when the prince ascends the position of the ninth five, if there is no accident, the maid of honor can at least be appointed as a concubine. If she is lucky, it's not impossible to be appointed as a concubine.

For this maid in waiting, it means that she has changed from a slave to a master, and even her family will follow her to become relatives of the emperor.

Sounds like it's really tempting.

Empress Xie Daoqing's maidservant immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to her three times, saying: "Niang Niang, you are the reborn parents of the maidservant. Your great kindness is hard to repay even if the maidservant is broken to pieces."

"Get up, don't make it so serious." Empress Xie Daoqing bent down to lift up her maid in waiting for her and said.

The maid in waiting agreed and got up from the ground.

"You remember, as long as you finally come to this palace, that palace will also consider for you, so that your future has a guarantee." Queen Xie Daoqing.

The maid in waiting said, "I know that in my heart."

As they were talking, they heard someone outside the palace shouting, "here comes the emperor!"

At that time, he was still angry about what emperor LiZong had done. Now, Emperor LiZong came.

Angry to angry, but this Saint came, she still had to meet.

"I have seen the emperor." When she came to Emperor LiZong, empress Xie Daoqing knelt on the ground and said.

Emperor LiZong lifted her up and said, "sage, you don't have to be polite."

"Officer, what's the matter when you come here today?" After they both sat down, Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

Emperor LiZong replied, "since I came back to the palace, I haven't had a good chat with the sage. Today I come here to have a good chat with the sage."

"Officials, you can still think of my concubine. I'm so moved." Queen Xie Daoqing.

She asked, "holy, why didn't you go to the new Ziqi noble?"

This question obviously has the taste of jealousy, Emperor LiZong certainly can hear it.

He said to empress Xie Daoqing, "sage, although I have newly accepted Ziqi as a noble man, your position in my mind has never changed."

"You can rest assured of that." He added.

When a woman is old, sometimes she just likes to nag. Empress Xie Daoqing said, "well, I'm old now. I can't compare with those young women. The emperor is tired of me, and I have nothing to say."

"Look what the sage said. Even if you are 100 years old, my heart to you will not change." Li Zong emperor road.

Queen Xie Daoqing listened and asked, "really?"

"When did I cheat you?" Emperor LiZong asked.

Queen Xie Daoqing replied, "it's true."

"I know that you are very kind to me, and I agree with you when you accept Ziqi as your concubine." She added.

Emperor LiZong said, "I know that you are the most important sage in this palace."

"Thank you for your praise." Queen Xie Daoqing.

My concubine asked, "you want to be a member of the crown prince's family?"

"I have the idea." The emperor replied.

He added: "this matter is only a preliminary idea, and has not been formally settled, so it has not been said to the sage."

"So it is." Queen Xie Daoqing.

Emperor LiZong said, "in fact, I'm very embarrassed about this."

"It's up to the officials to decide who should be the crown prince. What's the dilemma?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

After hearing this question, Emperor LiZong told queen Xie Daoqing about the dispute over who should be the crown prince.

Queen Xie Daoqing asked, "official, who do you like best in your heart?"

"I still want to establish the child of the Rongwang family." In front of his Empress, Emperor LiZong did not hide his true thoughts.

Empress Xie Daoqing is only a child of Rong Wang's family. When she was a few years old, she met him in the Imperial Palace, but later she didn't.It can be said that she is not familiar with the children of the Rongwang family.

"Guanjia, where do you think the children of Rongwang family are good?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

Emperor LiZong replied, "this child is very filial."

"If you let this child become the crown prince and succeed to the throne, he will certainly be very good to me and the sage in the future." He added.

Empress Xie Daoqing said: "the official family, even if this child is now a very small place of filial piety, but that is for his father and king. If he enters the palace, whether he can be filial to the official family and his concubines, that's two questions."

"There's something in what you're saying." Li Zong emperor road.

He added: "it is precisely with this in mind that, together with weighing the forces of all parties, I have not finally decided the choice of crown prince."

"You are right to do so, official. The successor to the throne is related to the future of our song dynasty. We must not make a hasty decision." Queen Xie Daoqing.

Emperor LiZong said, "I know this well."

"I have another opinion. I don't know whether to say it or not?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

Emperor LiZong said, "queen, just ask."

"In fact, in addition to the current two successors, you can also consider other royal children." Queen Xie Daoqing.

"Her royal son asked

"Yes Queen Xie Daoqing replied.

She added: "since Taizu founded the great Song Dynasty, our royal children can be said to be flourishing. The people who can choose are not only the children of King Rong and King Han."

"Then I will issue an imperial edict to let all the other royal children go to the palace and investigate them one by one." Emperor LiZong listened to empress Xie Daoqing's words, and then went on to say.

Queen Xie Daoqing quickly stopped: "housekeeper, absolutely not."

"It's not your suggestion. Let me see more. Now that I've listened to your opinion, why do you object?" Emperor LiZong asked a little inexplicably.

Queen Xie Daoqing replied, "if you call these people into the palace, most of them will definitely have an idea about the throne."

"You know, a lot of people do everything for the throne." She added.

Emperor LiZong said, "sage, you remind me when you say that."

"With my concubine's opinion, you'd better investigate in secret." Queen Xie Daoqing suggested.

Emperor LiZong said, "sage, you are really my good wife."

"After that, if anything happens, I'll come to discuss it with you." He added.

Empress Xie Daoqing said: "officials, concubines are women. They stay in the deep palace all day long. If you are knowledgeable, you can't compare with them."

"Sage, you are too modest." Li Zong emperor road.

Empress Xie Daoqing said, "what my concubine said is the truth."

"But when something happens, I can give you some advice for your reference." He added.

Emperor LiZong said, "that's settled."

"Officer, will you go today?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

Emperor LiZong replied, "I've been here for a long time, so I won't stay here."

Then he got up from the chair he was sitting on.

"If you have something to do with the official family, I will not keep you." Queen Xie Daoqing.

In fact, Emperor LiZong had nothing important to do. He wanted to leave because he wanted to go to Ziqi.

Before that, he had asked the little eunuch to pass the imperial edict to Ziqi, saying that he wanted to accompany Ziqi to dinner.

Of course, in front of empress Xie Daoqing, Emperor LiZong would not say these things.

Some people are in the palace to discuss things, others are out.

This man is the eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the imperial palace.

He went to the mansion of former Prime Minister Ding Daquan.

Seeing the fierce contest between prime minister Jia Sidao and Minister Wen Tianxiang of the Ministry of punishment for the selection of the crown prince, he knew that he had to seek a way out. After all, Emperor LiZong was too old to sit on this throne forever.

"Mr. Dong, here you are." Ding Daquan saw that he was coming, so he welcomed him politely and said.

After sitting down, the eunuch looked at Ding Daquan and said, "Mr. Ding, you are so happy to stay in your mansion every day

"Ha ha, Mr. Dong, you really know how to talk." After hearing this, Ding Daquan said with a happy smile.

He added: "I'm in my mansion every day. I eat and sleep. When I sleep well, I get up to eat again. It's really boring."

"You're saving your energy. If you have something to do, you can go into battle in high spirits." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.

Ding Daquan asked: "listen to Mr. Dong, it seems that something has happened?""I'm really worthy of the prime minister's background. I'll hit the first guess." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.

Ding Daquan said, "Mr. Dong, what you are talking about is certainly not a small matter."

"Let me guess what it is." He also said that Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, said, "well, you can tell me why I came here."

"If I'm not wrong, Mr. Dong, you're here for the crown prince." Ding Daquan didn't even think about it, so he said.

After hearing this, Dong songchen, the chief eunuch of the University, said, "I admire you, I admire you."

"I guess I got it right." Ding Daquan.

Although Ding Daquan has no power now, he has been fighting with Prime Minister Jia Sidao for decades. Although he is losing power now, there are still some residual forces.

However, these residual forces are deeply hidden. After Ding Daquan's defeat, they are in a state of self preservation and never know how to help him.

In this case, no one knows that Ding Daquan actually has some capital.

In self-protection, he didn't even talk about his own eunuch Dong songchen.

"It seems that you are in the mansion, but you can still know the things above the temple in time!" Dong song, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, sighed.

Ding Daquan a little proud of the way: "a little knowledge."

"Please give me some advice. It's good for you and me." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.

In the eyes of Ding Daquan, the two candidates for crown prince have been supported by the two factions. And these two groups of forces are not the same people as Ding Daquan and Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the interior.

If they want to have a place in the future power structure, they must take the third road.

"You mean we have to find another candidate for the throne?" Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University.

Ding Daquan replied, "yes."

"But our manager is from the inner palace. You are not the prime minister now. Even if we go to find him, who will be willing to fight against Wen Tianxiang and Jia Sidao with us?" Dong songchen asked.

Ding Daquan replied: "in fact, the road is at your feet, but you didn't think of it for a while."

"At the foot of our manager?" The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, asked with some doubts.

"The answer is right

"You have confused the manager." After hearing this, the eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, said.

He added: "it's better to say it directly."

Ding Daquan said: "in the palace, there is another person, certainly not willing to be lonely."

"You mean queen Xie Daoqing?" Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, asked

and Ding Da went to answer, "yes, it is!"

When Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, heard that he was talking about the queen Xie Daoqing, he didn't agree.

He thinks it's OK for him and queen Xie Daoqing to make use of each other occasionally for their survival, but it's basically impossible for them to cooperate on such important matters for their future.

"You, Mr. Dong, although you are in the harem, you don't know the queen Xie Daoqing." Ding Daquan.

He added: "in fact, at this time, Queen Xie Daoqing is more anxious than us."

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, asked Ding Daquan, "she has officials to make decisions for her. What's the worry?"

"But today's God can't live forever. To put it mildly, although we are shouting long live the God all day, he can't live for ten thousand years." Ding Daquan.

He added: "it's also about her future .。”

"I see, you old man, you are a real genius!" Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of Da nei, points to Ding Daquan and teases him.
