Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 535: Stop?

The Grand Empress Dowager knew that Suma was referring to the Hesheli clan of the previous dynasty. Even in the harem, they had also been quite noisy. Disgust flashed in the Grand Empress Dowager's eyes. Perhaps, in order to stabilize people's hearts, making Yinreng the crown prince was a wrong decision.

The Empress Dowager suddenly realized, "You've said so much today, are you trying to persuade me to stop?"

Su Malagu shook her head and said, "In the past, for the sake of the relationship between you and Your Majesty, I would have naturally advised you, but now that we have already taken action against Rong Fei, there is no turning back.

only......

Now that she is dead, the Emperor will probably think of her all the time. As time goes by, the unpleasantness will fade away. Even if he remembers it, don't you worry that the Emperor will treat the child she gave birth to better?

After all, Rong Fei's words were impolite, but they were all for her own children.

I am afraid that if Concubine Rong is really that important to His Majesty, even if she dies now, she will become an indelible existence in His Majesty's heart.

Is it possible that by then, we can find some drugs to make His Majesty forget about Concubine Rong?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Grand Empress Dowager was amused by Su Malagu, and then she said meaningfully: "If the Emperor treats Rong Fei's children better for her, wouldn't that be more beneficial to us?"

Su Malagu sighed. Sure enough, the princess really had this idea.

"Your Majesty is a smart child and a qualified emperor. I don't think he will sacrifice public interest for personal gain." There are many ways to pamper a child, so Princess, how can you think your plan will succeed?

“If it were just an ordinary family, it would simply be to show more favoritism during one’s lifetime and to divide up a larger share of the family property after death, so that the most beloved child could become a wealthy man.

But they were born in the royal family and were all sons of the dragon, but in the end only one of them could be on top, while the rest could only crawl on the ground, kneel down and kowtow to their brothers.

Not only them, but also their sons and grandsons, will only be able to become small clans from generation to generation, always inferior to others, and their lives and property will be in the hands of others.

Given Xuanye's personality, I don't think he would be willing to do that."

Just like Fulin in the past, as soon as Dong E gave birth to a prince, Fulin couldn't help but build momentum for the child, saying things like "my first son" and "a general amnesty."

"Princess, I know you are thinking about the Borjigit family, but I have to say something disrespectful. How many more years can you protect Khorchin?"

"That's why I want to pave the way for Korchin before I leave."

"But the Emperor is different from his Mafa and Ama, and the Prince Saiyin Chahun you favor is also different from his Mafa and Ama."

The first difference is that Kangxi would not choose beauty over the throne like Huang Taiji and Fulin did.

The latter difference refers to the fact that Saiyin Chahun was neither as sentimental as his great-grandfather and grandfather, nor as his father, who put the Qing Dynasty first and always acted with the overall situation in mind.

The child has a vicious nature in his bones. If he had not grown up in a honeypot, surrounded by the love of his father, mother, brother, and mama, he would have lost his fangs long ago.

Even the Empress Dowager said that this child was like an eagle on the grassland, rather than a sparrow raised in a luxurious house.

"Prince Saiyinchahun doesn't seem to be someone who would compromise for the sake of friendship. I've watched him coldly over the years. Apart from Concubine Rong and Prince Chengrui, even His Majesty can't make him bow his head."

However, your plan does not include letting Rong Fei go, nor does it include keeping Cheng Rui Prince.

“Even if the Majia clan cannot rise to power like the Tonggiya clan, there will always be other forces that want to become the new emperor’s confidants.

The emperor's mother and elder brother died. Even if it was really just fate, many people wanted to link their deaths to the struggles in the harem and take the opportunity to eliminate the forces hostile to them.

The Empress Dowager, who raised Prince Saiyinchahun, would naturally be the first target of their calculations.

Even if you can guarantee that no traces will be left, can you stop everyone from fabricating evidence?

What do you think, given Prince Isaiah Chahun's personality, what would he do?

Anyway, I feel that he will not be like His Majesty, who would keep his suspicions to himself even if he has them in his heart."

Don't even mention how a mere outsider dares to sow discord among the royal family. Throughout the dynasties, husbands and wives have turned against each other, fathers and sons have killed each other, and brothers have fought against each other for that chair. Did they wish each other dead from the very beginning?

How many people are pushed forward by the forces behind them, to the point where they have no choice.

Just like the Grand Empress Dowager and the late Emperor, it is true that the Grand Empress Dowager had selfish motives, but there were also Grand Empress Dowagers and Empresses in the previous dynasty who sought benefits for their own maternal families after coming to power. The Grand Empress Dowager's family was far away in the grassland. How could the late Emperor be so suspicious of his in-laws that he was willing to separate the mother and son?

The late emperor, whose father died early and whose mother supported him to ascend the throne, was not very close to his mother, but at least, he should not have hurt the Empress Dowager's feelings like that.

Even if the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor were both at fault, and even if their personalities made them unwilling to bow their heads first, it was impossible for their relationship to have reached this point without instigation from outsiders.

"I know how worried you are, and I know that Wuyunna can't stop Saiyinchahun, but Suma, I have no choice."

Although the emperor still respected her as the royal mother on the surface, the Empress Dowager knew it very well. She believed that the death of Empress Dowager Cihe was related to herself.

It wasn't necessarily about how true the evidence Tong Jia fabricated, or how authentic the story she had created, that the emperor believed it simply because he had long suspected it. The truth Tong Jia presented simply gave the emperor an "excuse" to confirm.

Look at these years, the emperor seemed to trust herself, but she would rather delegate power to concubines and let the Han ministers of the previous dynasty talk about not knowing the rules, rather than let her take over.

How did their relationship end? Perhaps when she, for her own selfish reasons, wanted to influence the selection of the successor by stirring up unrest in the harem, the emperor's last bit of trust in her vanished.

If the Empress Dowager still had hope before Rong Fei gave birth to Yinzhi, and felt that Kangxi still had some affection for her, then after that day, the Empress Dowager was very clear about his attitude.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the emperor now, she, the Empress Dowager, is no longer the loving Empress Dowager. She is just a Empress Dowager who will hurt his lover and children and is bent on competing with him for power and profit.

The Empress Dowager knew very well how her grandsons would treat those who crossed the line, and she happened to be one of them. She had no choice but to take the path she least wanted to take.

"So Suma, why bother trying to persuade me anymore?"

Su Malagu no longer cared about the hierarchy between master and servant. Like many times before, she gently hugged her princess from behind and silently comforted her.

One wrong step leads to another, and they have no way out.

"Princess, I have been with you for so long, don't you understand me? From the moment you started to attack Concubine Rong and Prince Chengrui, I will no longer persuade you to stop." Because it was too late.

The Empress Dowager looked at Su Malagu steadily. She seemed to understand why she said so much today.

To the Empress Dowager, Su Malagu was not only a loyal servant, nor just a good sister, she was also her mentor and friend, and her shadow.

At the beginning, Huang Taiji abandoned them, mother and son, and Fulin was still young. There were two princes in the previous dynasty, Dorgon and Hauge, who were more qualified to ascend the throne.

At that time, the Manchus had not yet entered the Pass and were not yet bound by the rules of the Han people. It was more common for the younger brother to inherit the throne than for the son to inherit the throne after the death of the father, and there was no concept of superiority or inferiority between legitimate and illegitimate children.

(The Manchus could have several wives, all of whom were principal wives, with equal status and power. After entering the Pass, they were afraid of being labeled uncivilized barbarians by the Han people, so they elevated the status of the legitimate wife and turned the concubine from a wife into a concubine.)

It was Suma who asked her, "Does Gege want her son to ascend the throne, or does she want to remain chaste for Huang Taiji?"

Not to mention the Manchus, the Mongolians did not have the concept of chaste and virtuous women. Even after their husbands died, it was normal for a woman to remarry and take her husband's property.

This is how many women in Nurhaci and Huang Taiji's harems came about. Who wouldn't want a beauty and the property and men she brought?
