The Jinyiwei was an intelligence agency established by Emperor Shengwu, responsible for patrolling and arresting rebels.
After the previous emperor gave the Qilin Guard to Prince Fu and the Eagle Guard to the Grand Princess, Emperor Shengwu trained the Dragon Scale Guard, Black Dragon Guard and Embroidered Uniform Guard from the army.
It’s just that the Dragon Scale Guards and the Black Dragon Guards are in the dark, while the Embroidered Uniform Guards are in the light.
Over the past ten years, the Dragon Scale Guards and the Sky Net Shadow Guards have frequently clashed with the Queen Mother and Prince Fu's party, but have never lost a single bit.
"Your Majesty, why didn't Censor Bei and the others grant me a concubine?"
Some officials noticed that Censor Bei had no concubines and cried out injustice.
"The Bei family took a concubine when they were forty and childless. If you are like this, I can take back the noble concubine I have bestowed upon you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials fell silent. Not everyone's wife was as fertile as Censor Bei.
Moreover, if the wife only gives birth to one son, how can it be enough? If he dies, the family line will be extinct.
Not to mention that one person cannot support the family alone, two or three are not enough, and five or six are not too many. Naturally, one must take more concubines to expand the family and have many children.
Censor Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not there, otherwise he would not know how to explain it when he returned.
After all, she is a concubine given by the emperor. She cannot be treated lightly or treated with respect. It is a difficult problem to know how to treat her when she is brought back to the palace.
In the imperial palace, a large number of palace maids were sent out by Emperor Shengwu. Many of them were spies from various parties, especially the Empress Dowager, Prince Fu's party and the Grand Princess' party.
Emperor Shengwu gave the spies of the Grand Princess's party to the Empress Dowager Fu Wang's party.
The spies of the Queen Mother's Prince Fu's party were given to the Grand Princess's party.
Just like the conflict between Emperor Shengwu and Concubine Bao is irreconcilable.
The conflict between the Queen Mother and the Grand Princess was equally irreconcilable.
In Shou'an Palace, the Queen Mother learned of this and simply frowned before saying, "Without a son to inherit his throne, no matter how much he struggles, it will be in vain. This is just his last struggle."
This is the empress dowager's confidence. Thanks to Concubine Bao and the other concubines who poisoned Emperor Shengwu, Emperor Shengwu was poisoned.
The Empress Dowager only gave Emperor Shengwu a sterilizing drug after her own son was born.
After being defeated by Emperor Shengwu in many battles, the empress dowager lay dormant. Now all she had to do was wait for Emperor Shengwu's death.
But his son, Prince Fu, always loses his temper.
"Spread my words. Don't make any extra moves. I can wait four or five years."
As for Bei Lingyao, who had just entered the palace and was favored by Emperor Shengwu, she was not taken seriously by the empress dowager.
Emperor Shengwu had no heir, so the empress dowager was not worried about who he favored, as long as it was not Concubine Lu, the daughter of the eldest princess.
The Empress Dowager deeply detested the Grand Princess, the late emperor's biological sister.
This all started when the Empress Dowager met the late Emperor's legitimate son when she was young, and she has been eyeing the position of the Prince's Consort ever since.
But unexpectedly, the eldest princess's study companion took the lead and became the late emperor's princess.
The Queen Mother was naturally unwilling to accept this, and she had been trying to seduce the late Emperor, wanting to resist but not to, keeping him in suspense.
She still follows the path of the white lotus and green tea, provoking the princess in various ways. Seeing that the late emperor stood on her side and scolded the princess for her, the empress dowager felt very happy.
After the prince's wife became pregnant, the empress dowager felt a sense of crisis. Although the late emperor had promised her the position of concubine, the empress dowager was still unwilling.
So after some calculations, the Queen Mother finally got what she wanted.
The late emperor was drunk and aroused by the empress dowager. He was extremely passionate and could only watch as the empress dowager was taken away by her brother.
When the late emperor returned to his palace, he wanted to find a concubine to satisfy his needs, but he was very drunk.
The late emperor mistook the pregnant princess for the empress dowager, causing her to bleed profusely and suffer a difficult labor, resulting in two deaths.
A year later, the Queen Mother became the consort of the late emperor's prince as his successor.
After the late emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager was named empress, but the original prince's wife was not posthumously named.
The eldest princess was angry and felt that the Queen Mother was interfering.
And it was indeed the Queen Mother's pregnant belly that was the pillow talk.
The eldest princess also felt that after the late emperor married the empress dowager, he became increasingly distant from her, his younger sister.
So, under the careful arrangement of the Grand Princess, the late emperor met Concubine Bao again outside the palace.
The late emperor was astonished by Concubine Bao's beauty and immediately issued an order to welcome her into the palace with the ceremony of a concubine.
The late emperor stayed at Concubine Bao's house for most of the month and completely forgot about the empress dowager.
The empress dowager, feeling a sense of crisis, frequently asked the late emperor for help with the baby in her belly, which resulted in the baby not being saved and causing miscarriage.
The resentful empress dowager was also neglected by the late emperor.
The harem held a beauty contest every three years and a small selection of palace maids every year. The late emperor and the empress dowager no longer had the love and affection they once had.
Seeing that Concubine Bao was the most favored concubine in the harem, other concubines were constantly pregnant, and princes and princesses were born one after another, the empress dowager was extremely anxious.
I want to adopt them, but the biological mothers of these princes are still alive, and their maternal families are not easy to deal with.
In addition, with the great enemy Concubine Bao and the obstruction of the Grand Princess, the Queen Mother never had the opportunity to raise the prince.
It was not until Emperor Shengwu was discovered in the cold palace that the empress dowager successfully raised him.
But the empress dowager was also lucky at this time, because the Bao family was powerful and controlled the Northwest Army, which made the aging emperor wary of them.
Because Emperor Shengwu was smart and outstanding, and he would help the empress dowager to win favor, the late emperor and the empress dowager began to restore their former love.
Only then did Prince Fu come into being.
But the Queen Mother hated Concubine Bao and the Grand Princess so much.
Concubine Bao had died in that forced abdication, but the eldest princess was still alive, and she had the eagle guards sent by the late emperor, who were equally powerful as her.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother resented the late emperor immensely. If the late emperor had not been so indecisive and unwilling to depose that illegitimate child, how could her son still be the Prince of Fu today?
They, mother and son, suffered greatly at the hands of the late emperor.
Prince Fu's Mansion
When Prince Fu received the news from the Queen Mother, he smashed his study.
The Queen Mother always told him to be patient and not to act rashly, but they clearly had the will of their father, the 100,000 troops given by their father, the Qilin Guard, and the support of all the civil and military officials in the court.
Even if he fights against a bastard, he will never lose.
However, the Queen Mother was too soft-hearted and gave the illegitimate children a chance to grow, so that now their people in the court and the palace have been cleared out again and again by the illegitimate children, and there are almost no people left.
He has been waiting since he was born until he was ten years old, and from ten years old he has been waiting until he is twenty years old now. Ten years have passed one after another. How long will he have to wait?
The Queen Mother said that illegitimate children would not live past forty, but Prince Fu didn't know whether it was true.
But he knew that his power was constantly being weakened by the bastard. If this continued, his wings would be completely broken before the bastard died.
Besides, five years is neither long nor short, and he can afford to wait, but how can he be willing to do nothing?
He is the legitimate son of the previous emperor and the orthodox one.
Over the years, Prince Fu had heard many people praising the illegitimate son's excellence, and he was very dissatisfied. If he became the emperor, he would do better than that illegitimate son.
Since he was poisoned and had no children, he should have given up the throne and restored order.
Not only did he not give up his throne, he also took the concubine he favored, Bei, into his harem.
What a shame and humiliation!
This is too much!!!
