Chapter 13 The Prime Minister's Daughter Who Doesn't Want to Become the Queen

"What? You don't want to be the queen? Then what do you want to be? The emperor?"

"I have to say, Ginger, you're telling the truth."

"You have ambition! Come on, show me what's going on."

The original owner was named He Shihua, the daughter of the Prime Minister and was highly favored.

The fight for the throne back then was intense and fierce.

The old emperor's 11 sons were all outstanding individuals with good looks and strengths in their own ways.

The old emperor was an indecisive person. Whenever he chose a prince, he would back down as soon as others objected. Therefore, even though they were all terminally ill, there was still no heir.

The other ministers had already chosen their side with the prince they supported, but the prime minister supported no one and insisted on being loyal only to the people.

The old emperor hated him, but he also admired his talents. He knew that if it weren't for the prime minister, the court would have been in chaos.

The princes hated him because they couldn't win him over.

If he was willing to support me, I would have sat on the throne of the crown prince long ago, and there would be no need to fight to the death with my brothers.

But the princes could not touch him yet: even if they could not win over the prime minister, they did not have to make enemies with him and make the old emperor dislike them.

The Prime Minister wanted to withdraw before the princes started fighting: The current emperor is so indecisive and has not appointed a crown prince early. The princes all have special skills and are not easy to deal with. There will definitely be a turmoil in the city in the future. Why don’t I retire and avoid the disputes?

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The old emperor knew that he was mediocre in ability. Although he hated the fact that the prime minister was only loyal to the people, he still knew that the country needed the prime minister to be in charge and participate in important court affairs in order to make foreign enemies fearful and the people at home feel at ease. So why would he let him leave?

Prime Minister: It’s all because I’m too outstanding.

I have to say, everyone is very smart.

"Daughter, why do you play the piano so irritably today? Is there something on your mind?" The prime minister, who had just returned from court, saw his daughter playing the piano and couldn't help but listen for a while.

"Daddy, what do you think?" He Shihua asked.

"It's very simple. A disturbed mind makes the music noisy. A calm mind makes the music pure. A panicked mind makes the music wrong. A calm mind makes the music clear. Poetry, painting, and the zither are the voice of the heart."

"Daddy, are you right? Then guess again, Daddy, why am I like this?" He Shihua asked playfully.

Prime Minister He stroked his beard pretentiously and said, "Could it be that... my daughter has a lover?"

"Dad is so annoying! Your daughter is ignoring you," He Shihua said coquettishly. "Then her expression turned serious again. "Dad, the court is about to be in chaos. Have you thought of a solution?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister He couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I'm afraid it's difficult to extricate myself. The current emperor will never allow me to retire and return home. After all, he still needs me to attract his sons' attention and to enhance his reputation as a kind father."

Prime Minister He and his wife were deeply in love, and they had no concubines. They had only one son, He Chenxi, and one daughter, He Shihua.

Prime Minister He did not let He Shihua sing and play with the moon, embroider, or be trapped in the backyard just because she was a girl. Instead, he taught her like a son, explained to her all the affairs of the family and the country, and let her participate.

Prime Minister He has always known that his daughter is extremely intelligent, on par with men, and even more meticulous and careful than men, which enables her to do things flawlessly without realizing it.

"Father, if you want to leave the court, you don't have to retire and return home. I have a plan, but you and Mother must make up your mind as soon as possible."

"You tell me, let your father listen."

"My daughter once felt that the court was unstable. As a precaution, she secretly obtained a drug from southern Xinjiang that could cause a person to stop breathing and become indisputably dead. The time is 7 days.

If dad agrees and takes this medicine, tell others that he died suddenly overnight due to overwork.

Once His Majesty has sent someone to verify its authenticity, we will bury it immediately.

Then, my mother, overcome with grief, no longer wishing to face her familiar surroundings, took her two children back home. From then on, our family could stay away from the imperial court."

Mrs. He's family was not originally from the capital, and she came to the capital because of her husband.

Now her husband is in a dilemma. As a woman, she can't offer any advice, but she must not hold him back.

Moreover, even if she was not smart, she could still feel a vague sense of unease when the ladies in the harem gathered together.

This is her intuition.

Therefore, she was very cautious among the wives of the officials, fearing that the prime minister's handle would fall into the hands of others and put the prime minister in danger.

Now that her daughter has found a way to help the Prime Minister escape, how can she refuse?

Still a little worried: "My son, is there anything wrong with that medicine?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but it will definitely make people extremely weak. I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover." He Shihua paused. "Besides, Dad will probably have to hide his identity from now on, and we can't go to any familiar places."

"Of course," the others heard and breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, He Shihua was only 13 years old.

A few days later, news suddenly spread from the capital that Prime Minister He had died suddenly due to overwork.

The princes were very happy: they finally got rid of a annoying person.

The old emperor was very sad: No one will help me in the future, woo woo.

Mrs. He was so heartbroken that she left the capital with her two children and returned to her hometown.

Four years later, the old emperor passed away, and his sons finally won the battle. The unknown eighth son ascended the throne.

The eighth prince was so excited to ascend the throne that he couldn't help but show off to the other princes: "You looked down on me in the past, but you can't reach me now." Then he killed all the other princes to prevent future troubles.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, he naturally has to select beauties from all over the world.

The new emperor was still not satisfied and went on a tour himself.

As a result, I met He Shihua and was immediately stunned by her beauty.

It turned out that although He Shihua was the daughter of the prime minister, she rarely went out, so not many people knew her.

With an imperial decree, He Shihua was trapped in the palace.

Soon, the new emperor got tired of her, and He Shihua died of depression while trapped in the harem.

Similarly, He Shihua was taken back to the palace by an imperial decree, and her brother and mother were taken back to the capital, leaving behind only her father, who had changed his name, and an old servant, whom she never saw again.

When her brother was granted an official position, He Shihua could live more comfortably while she was in favor; once she fell out of favor, she was once again involved in court disputes and died unjustly.

Without her children by her side and unable to see her husband, Mrs. He soon died of depression.

It's a pity for He Shihua. She was full of wisdom, but because the emperor did not like the harem to interfere in politics, she was stubborn and did not listen to other people's opinions, so she died in the harem.

Of course, not long after his death, the country was in turmoil again. But this had nothing to do with He Shihua.

"She's truly an extraordinary woman."

[Not so good. If the emperor had listened to even a little of her advice, the subsequent turmoil and destruction wouldn't have happened.] Duoduo also sighed.

"So, your wish is just to be the emperor? Don't you want to kill the emperor? After all, if it weren't for him, your family would not be separated," asked Jiang.

"If possible, I can kill him. It doesn't matter. When I become the emperor, my father can return to the capital with a legitimate reason."

"As you wish. Wait a moment." After saying that, Jiang disappeared.

"Miss, please don't give the emperor any more advice. It's obvious that the emperor won't listen at all. We should just live our own lives well. Why bother to make him unhappy?" The maid Xiao Cui said as Sheng Jiang opened her eyes.

Sheng Jiang smiled slightly: "You are right, Xiao Cui."

The next sentence is: "Let's go and see the emperor again."

Xiao Cui, who was relieved just now, suddenly became uneasy again: "Miss?!"

Sheng Jiang comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't give him any advice this time. I will ask him for the position of queen first.

In this way, even if the women in the harem want to fight in the future, they will have to consider their own position first.

Sheng Jiang really disdained to fight with the women in the harem. After all, everyone was helpless and it didn't matter what was right or wrong.

With the position of queen, she could first intimidate the harem, and then turn around to overthrow the emperor. Her succession to the throne would be more legitimate, and fewer people could be killed at that time.

Duoduo: [This name is just a little bit legitimate, it’s worse than nothing]

As for these women, with mahjong and poker, without men, who can't entertain themselves?

"Your Majesty, Miss Shihua requests to see you." A eunuch announced.

"No!" The emperor was annoyed.

I originally thought she was a peerless beauty. She is really beautiful, but she is also so smart, making me look like a fool.

But I just can't bear to see her die, so I just stay like this.

"Aren't you just a fool?" Ginger laughed.

"Who?!" The emperor jumped up in fright, and when he looked up he saw a face as beautiful as a fairy.

If this face hadn't been as cold as ice, I might have been moved by it.

No, how did she know that I just despised myself as a fool? Could she hear my inner voice?

Oh my god, isn’t this scary?

What kind of monster is this? !

Seeing the emperor's frightened expression, Sheng Jiang asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, am I really that scary?" After saying that, she acted as if she was aggrieved.

Emperor: The trembling is getting worse.

Help! This is scarier than before, okay?

The emperor trembled and said, "My dear, it would be great if you could stay the same as before."

"Really?" Sheng Jiang wanted to perform: "But I can't do it!"

The emperor dared not speak.

The ginger immediately became serious: "I want to be the queen!"

The moment he spoke, it was like a notice, not like Maertai Ruoxi's anger.

Seeing her seriousness, the emperor gradually calmed down: After all, she is also a woman, what else can you think she will do?

The Emperor said, "I cannot agree to this. The Empress and I have been married since childhood, and she has never transgressed the rules. Moreover, her child died young, and she remains childless. I cannot harm her further."

Sheng Jiang: "Then you can't summon Concubine Rong again."

Emperor: "Do you really want to make things difficult for me?"

Sheng Jiang: "Is it because of General Rong?"

Emperor: "Even Rong Fei herself is not at fault."

Ginger: "Then what can you promise me?"

The emperor said, "I own the whole world, but you don't value it at all. The only thing I can give you is my heart. Do you know why I haven't conferred a title on you yet? I just want to see you every day. Once I was conferred a title, I would have to live in my own palace, and I would have to flip a card to see you. But now, I can see you every day. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" After the performance, Sheng Jiang was furious: "I gave you face?! Is that right?! How dare you make promises to me?!"

With one kick, the emperor's waist was broken, and he lay on the ground groaning.

The strange thing is that no one noticed the commotion here and no one came in.

The emperor was even more horrified. When did this woman become so strong? "Why kick me when you can just talk nicely?"

[Ginger, this emperor has such a good temper, he doesn’t even get angry] Duoduo said.

Is he good-tempered? He's just following his heart.

"Now, I'll say it again, I want to be the queen! Do you understand?" Sheng Jiang stuffed a pill into the emperor's mouth.

"I hope you still don't understand. After all, I have plenty of pills here. I just don't know if your body, hollowed out by alcohol and sex, can handle it."

The emperor was very happy: "I will draw up the plan now."

So Jiang became the head of the harem.

At the beginning, concubines kept asking for news under the pretext of paying their respects.

Sheng Jiang was so annoyed that she forgoes all her greetings. Then, word spread that the emperor was impotent, and the childless women finally stopped fighting.

Sheng Jiang distributed a lot of mahjong and poker to everyone and asked Xiao Cui to teach them how to pass the time so that they wouldn't bother him for no reason.

"Your Majesty, now that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, why don't we go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven this year? You will be the Emperor of Heaven, and I will be the Empress of Heaven. We will sit in the court together and govern the country together. How about that?" Sheng Jiang smiled.

Emperor: How can I disagree?

After Tai Fengshan, a minister in the court objected: "Since ancient times, men have been in charge of the outside world and women have been in charge of the inside world. How can a woman sit in the court? It's ridiculous!"

"That's right, outrageous!"

A group of ministers complied.

Sheng Jiang exudes domineering power: "Men are the sky, women are the earth, and the union of heaven and earth is the universe! If God couldn't tolerate women, why did he create women?"

Duoduo: [How did she instantly become Wu Zetian?]

The group of people were speechless and looked at the emperor eagerly.

Emperor: Don’t look at me, I can’t do anything.

"My dear ministers, I am in poor health and cannot handle state affairs. From now on I will have to rely more on the Queen Mother. I hope you can work together." The emperor said seriously.

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say next.

The emperor's face darkened. "My mind is made up. No need to say more! Dismiss!"

After saying this, he left with the eunuch's shout of "dismissing court".

The ministers looked at each other in silence, sighed, and went back to their homes.

After all, this is the emperor's family affair. He doesn't care about it, so why should others say so much?

After two years of peace, the emperor's health deteriorated and he issued an edict to pass the throne to the Empress.

Ginger: "This emperor is quite sensible."

Duoduo: [Isn't it because I'm afraid that if you get angry, you'll kill all the royal family members? Then there will be rivers of blood. To put it bluntly, this emperor is only good at eating, drinking and having fun, and he's not an unforgivable villain.]

Jiang then ascended the throne smoothly.

In consideration of the previous emperor's sensibleness of current affairs, the royal family members were imprisoned.

One decree after another that benefited the country and the people was issued, and for a time the country was peaceful and the people were safe.

Even the phrase "good weather and good harvest" was used to describe the current emperor.

As for changing the idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority, or setting up girls' schools, Jiang has no interest in that.

This is not something that can be changed in a short period of time, and if it is too radical, when you leave, no one will be able to suppress it, and the male chauvinism will rebound, which will only oppress women more severely, which will not be worth the loss.

Let’s see what He Shihua does after she comes back.

He Shihua brought Madam He and Prime Minister He into the palace.

Someone saw the dead Prime Minister He, and he was alive again? Whatever came to mind instantly, no one said it.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. This principle is understood.

He Shihua: So what if you all knew? I'm the emperor now! Who dares to disobey?!

Mrs. He was like she was dreaming: "My son, how did you become the emperor? I can't believe it."

"Mom, yes, someone helped me, so our family was reunited. Otherwise, we would never see each other again until we die," said He Shihua.

As for who it is, there is no need to tell them, just know it yourself.

He Shihua has no harem. She only wants to manage the government. As for the successor, she still has her brother's children.
