Empress Dowager Pan, who had been promoted to the position of Grand Empress Dowager, did not have the mood to meddle in the affairs of the inner palace. She had been struck by Emperor Yu Heng’s death and had been bedridden for half a month.

It was not that she did not know that the emperors of the Song family rarely died of old age. The previous emperor she served was killed by the deposed crown prince. The Song family’s tradition was that brothers killed each other, and father and son killed each other. This was how Daliang lived for decades. ’ However, things were different when it came to him.

That was her own son, ah!

And it was her most favored daughter-in-law and precious eldest grandson who did it. This was simply stabbing a knife into her heart.

If it wasn’t for the Xin ‘an Prince, or rather Emperor Yong Ping, if he hadn’t acted quickly, the palace would have killed those two scoundrels with a cup of poisoned wine long ago, and the Empress Dowager would have personally bitten them to death.

They died too easily!

Because of this, she had complained to Emperor Yong Ping many times. She wished that she could burn their bones and scatter their ashes.

She had a son, and the Wang family was her daughter-in-law. Without a son what was she?

What grandson? That was a debt of injustice. Without him, her son would not have died.

The Grand Emperor was too regretful. He could not eat or drink. He cried during the day and howled at night. Fortunately, Emperor Yong Ping was a filial son. He greeted the Grand Empress Dowager every morning and night. Only then did he appease the Grand Empress Dowager.

Princess Xuancheng was also a pitiful person. Her mother had just died, and in less than a year, her father had died. She was about to collapse.

In the past, when the Empress Dowager was sad, the grandfather and grandson cried together. Later, when the Empress Dowager was better, she turned around and advised Princess Xuancheng,

Let it go.

There was still a long way to go in the future.

Fortunately, he didn’t let that thieving woman and her son succeed. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be as good as him.

.. Bala, bala, and so on.

The Empress Dowager, who had finally pulled herself together, could not resist Emperor Yong Ping’s invitation. She had to appear. Emperor Yong Ping’s mother had died, the Empress had not entered the palace, and the entire family of concubines in the harem had been promoted to the imperial concubine. In addition, Emperor Yong Ping’s own marriage.

The imperial concubines were easy to deal with. Those with children could just leave the palace and live with their children. Those without children could just choose the most remote place in the harem to retire.

After dealing with the concubines left behind by the late emperor, what awaited the empress dowager was the turbulent selection of concubines.

With Emperor Yu Heng’s death, there would definitely be a reshuffle in the imperial court. The Xiao and Xie Families had the merit of following the dragon, and no one could compare to them. So, where else could they start? There was nothing faster and more reliable than marriage.

After knowing that the future empress was not very beautiful, choosing a concubine to enter the palace became the best option.

Even the Pan family had sent a portrait of a young lady of an appropriate age. The Grand Empress Dowager was not very clear about the scheming of the various clans and families. She only picked some portraits that she saw and sent them to Emperor Yong Ping. The Grand Empress Dowager was still confident in her looks. The Pan family’s little miss was her family, so her looks were naturally not bad, so she was chosen.

When the Grand Empress Dowager arrived, Xie Xian and Yang Shao were both present. Emperor Yong Ping and the new Emperor had ascended to the throne, but their foundations were not stable. These days, they had not received any ’ congratulatory letters from the local authorities, and the situation was not optimistic.

Logically speaking, the new emperor ascended the throne and knew the four seas. All places should send a memorial to celebrate.

However, Emperor Yu Heng had died suddenly, and Ming Zhengyan was supposed to be the crown prince. No matter how much Emperor Yu Heng doted on King Xin ‘an, he still did not get the throne properly. This was also the fundamental reason why Empress Wang had taken the lead in making trouble. They had taken action before the Emperor had issued an edict to depose the Crown Prince. At least in name, they had the upper hand.

Even if Emperor Yu Heng wanted to pass on the title of King Xin ‘an, without an edict under his name, King Xin’ an could not be considered legitimate.

As for the Empress killing the king and usurping the throne, if the Xin ‘an King won, everything would naturally be decided by him. If he said the Empress rebelled, then she rebelled. If he said she killed the king, then she naturally killed the king.

If you say it’s yours, believe it or not, it’s mine.

Out of the twenty-one prefectures in Daliang, fifteen prefectures sent congratulatory letters, while the remaining six prefectures remained silent.

Although Emperor Yong Ping was shrewd, he was only 14 years old. He didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter until Chief Justice Xi reminded him. Now that he had closed the door and come to Xie Xian to discuss countermeasures, Yang Shao was a little more confident. He was now deeply trusted by Emperor Yong Ping, and all the guards in the palace listened to his commands.

If Emperor Yong Ping was still concerned about the consort selection before after hearing Chief Justice Xi’s words, he didn’t have the mood to do that anymore.

If there were any disloyal people, they would seize the fact that he had not obtained the throne properly and cause trouble. They would threaten his throne.

Just listen to Imperial Grandmother.” Emperor Yong Ping did not even look

at the portrait before pushing it back to the Empress Dowager.

The Grand Empress Dowager didn’t care. She just wanted to pick a concubine

for her grandson, and she just wanted to pick a beautiful one.

However, Xie Xian advised,”Although the selection of concubines is the Emperor’s harem affairs, it also concerns the previous dynasty.” The harem of the previous dynasty is closely related. If there are people who are willing to serve the emperor, the emperor might as well choose them personally.” Emperor Yong Ping knew what he meant when he heard this. Xie Xian was teaching him to win over the courtiers.

Whoever he wanted to praise, then he could take their daughter into the palace.

Xie Xian understood that if Emperor Yong Ping wanted to take concubines into the palace and let the Empress Dowager do whatever she wanted, it would be better to choose a few that were beneficial to the court.

With the current situation, it was hard to say that Emperor Yong Ping’s throne would be secured.

After all, with the Song family’s tradition, no one could help but take advantage of the situation to rebel.

Then, dear minister, who should we choose to enter the palace?”

After Emperor Yong Ping finished asking, the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but glance at Xie Xian. She didn’t know that Xie Xian was so highly regarded by the Emperor, even more so than his son. Even the consort selection was under his control?

“That actually depends on the emperor’s intentions.”Xie Xian said with a faint smile.

He would let the daughters of whoever he wanted to promote enter the palace and he would choose the little ladies of whoever he wanted to put in an important position.

He didn’t want to make decisions for the Emperor in every detail, especially the matter of choosing a consort. The Emperor was not unreasonable, but he was used to discussing everything with him, so he only felt stable after talking to him.

The Empress Dowager’s glance fell into Xie Xian’s eyes.

Even the Empress Dowager, who was not familiar with government affairs, felt that the Emperor’s actions were inappropriate. If this spread out, what good would he do?

Those aristocratic families had long treated him as a thorn in their side, and now that they had the opportunity, they still had to pour dirty water on him?

Xie Xian was never afraid of the rumors. In the past, he could say whatever he wanted. The Emperor had his own opinions and naturally would not listen to the wind and rain. But now that he had the merit of a dragon, and the Xie and Xiao families were powerful ministers, it was not an exaggeration to say that their power was overwhelming. Emperor Yong Ping was still young, or to put it bluntly, there were not many people he could rely on. It was inevitable that in the future, he would offend people.

Emperor Yong Ping didn’t have Xie Xian’s thoughts. He had just ascended the throne, so there were many things he couldn’t decide on.

The reason why he was able to seize the throne was, in his view, thanks to Xie Xian’s strategic planning, he was someone he could rely on. He did not want to show his cowardice in either the previous dynasty or the harem, but Xie Xian She had been showing herself a lot before, so she didn’t mind showing herself this time. Louse is too much, but it doesn’t itch..
