Chapter 586: Becoming King
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong's eyes flashed with enlightenment. He knew very well that what his mother said was absolutely right. Whether it was the power struggle in the court or the delicate relationship between families, it all required wisdom and strategy to balance. But even though he was now on good terms with Jun Moye, he still remembered that the confiscation of the Qin Palace and the exile of several families were also the work of his father.
"Mother, even if they only want to overturn the Qin Palace's verdict, it would also mean overturning the crime that my grandfather had convicted the Qin Palace. I'm afraid my father won't allow it. Moreover, my father values Baise City now, and my cousin won't live past thirty, so he's being polite to them. If they want to overturn the verdict, my father will definitely stop them. I'm afraid that would make my father unhappy."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De looked at Jun Moyong and spoke.
"Ayong, what you said makes sense, but this matter cannot be implemented immediately. We can do it step by step. Moreover, your father has many sons. Although we mother and son have a clear advantage now, look at the former crown prince. The queen's party was so glorious at the time, and they were favored by the emperor. Once they lost power, they were no better than a phoenix with feathers plucked out. Therefore, it is most important for us to seize the power in our hands."
He slowly stood up, bowed to Concubine De, and said.
"I understand. I will find an appropriate time to have another in-depth discussion with my cousin and uncover their true intentions. At the same time, I will be more cautious in handling our relationships with the other princes and ministers to ensure our position is secure."
Concubine De nodded gently, her eyes full of love and expectation.
"Ayong, you've been smart and clever since you were young. Mother believes you can handle this. Remember, no matter where you are, you must remain calm and rational, and never let your emotions cloud your mind. In this struggle for imperial power, people's hearts are unpredictable. Only by being strong can you be invincible."
Jun Moyong nodded heavily and secretly vowed in his heart that he would live up to his mother's expectations. Not only would he consolidate his own position, but he would also inherit the throne and become a wise ruler.
"Yes, I will remember your mother's teachings."
Fu'an Palace.
Concubine Mei was also happy looking at the imperial edict in her hand. Noble Concubine, she had been Concubine Mei for many years.
Now that I have a son and have been promoted to a noble concubine, my life is becoming more and more promising.
As soon as Jun Moshu came in, he saw Concubine Mei with a smile on her face.
"Second minister pays respects to mother."
Concubine Mei placed the imperial edict on the table and hurried to help him up.
"Shu'er is here, hurry up and get up, your mother wants you to come over, she has something good to tell you."
Then he picked up the imperial edict on the table and handed it to him.
"Look at this."
When Jun Moshu took the imperial edict and looked at it, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
"Your son congratulates Mother, Congratulations Mother."
Concubine Mei, no, it should be Imperial Concubine Mei, smiled and helped Jun Moshu up.
"This is not only a happy event for Mother, but also for you. Now that Mother has become a noble concubine, she will be able to better protect you in the future. After some time, Mother will choose a suitable wife for you. With Mother's current status, your wife's family will also be better."
Jun Moshu smiled and said when he heard this.
"Thank you, Mother, for your concern. However, Mother, I feel that family background is not the most important thing. What is important is that you understand my feelings and can work together with me to honor me."
Concubine Mei reached out and straightened his clothes.
"You do need a caring person to serve you, but Shu'er, the person who serves and takes care of you can be a concubine or a maid, but your wife must be both virtuous and come from a good family."
When Jun Moshu heard this, he inexplicably thought of Ning Shuang's face, but he pursed his lips and said it out loud.
"Mother, I am still young and can wait a few more days. I want to see if I can find a job first. Once I have a position and can gain a firm foothold in the court, I can choose a wife then."
Mei Fei nodded upon hearing this.
"You are quite perceptive, child. So, the Duke's Mansion's second wife has a daughter who is about your age. She is also sensible and considerate. I'd like to ask for your opinion. If you are willing, I can find a time for you to meet her and let her become your concubine."
Jun Moshu was a little shocked when he heard this.
"Concubine? Mother, this is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion after all. I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion doesn't want it, right?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Mei smiled and spoke.
"Child, why would they not want to? You are my child, and my dignity is your dignity. Being my daughter-in-law will not disgrace your title as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Although the Duke's Mansion is my mother's family, I still have to rely on you for filial piety for the rest of my life.
So naturally, I have to make plans for you. First, I will have a concubine to brighten your daily life. As for the principal wife, we will slowly select her. The younger generation in the Duke's Mansion haven't had many good official positions in recent years, so your wife's family must be your support."
Hearing that every word Concubine Mei said was for him, Jun Moshu was deeply moved.
"Thank you, mother, my son."
Mei Fei looked at him and spoke.
"There's no need for us mother and son to express our gratitude. The Emperor has already revealed that Eunuch Zhao will have another happy event tomorrow. Mother suspects that you might even be given an assignment tomorrow."
Jun Moyong's eyes lit up with joy when he heard this.
"Mother, is this true?"
Concubine Mei smiled and spoke.
"Mother's guess this time is almost right. Eunuch Zhao can't be wrong."
really.
The next morning court session.
The emperor issued several imperial edicts in succession.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that the Second Prince, Jun Mo, is wise and sensible, with brilliant decisions, and a pillar of the nation. Effective immediately, he is enthroned as Prince Yao and granted the Prince Yao Palace. This is my decree."
