Chapter 461: Marriage 1 Li Tong happily finally retreated, leaving only Li Heng and Zhang's husband and wife.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they saw that there was no one left and right, they snuggled up to each other, touched each other and gradually became emotional, and couldn't help but have a good time in the hall regardless of the day.
It is said that the love between the husband and wife is not shallow.
Especially this is not an ordinary couple, but the emperor's family, and the emperor can still remember Zhang's wife, who has shared hardships with him, which is also commendable.
Lying on the couch, the couple mentioned the government again.
In fact, the topic was mentioned by the emperor on his own initiative, because of the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, no matter how favored the queen is, she will not dare to touch this taboo easily.
Especially after the era when Wu Zetian was in power, the harem intervention has become the biggest taboo for the Li Tang royal family.
Even if they are as close as husband and wife, Zhang does not dare to show his enthusiasm for politics and power too much.
The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and now he rarely has the time and opportunity to talk with the Zhang couple alone and chat calmly like this, and the Zhang family naturally seized the opportunity to take advantage of the afterglow of the emperor's spring heart fluctuations, and spared no effort to recommend his relatives to the emperor as officials.
For Zhang, there are definitely not many such opportunities.
If the concubine wants to stabilize her position, in addition to the emperor's favor, the entry of maternal relatives into the court as officials is also an important foundation for mutual support in the court.
Empress Zhang's mother family was originally a high-ranking family of the old emperor's dynasty, but now it is very weak in the court.
When the Zhang family became the queen, it was normal for people in the natural family to ask for her door.
The emperor agreed to come down one by one. is not only to give the queen a face, but also deep-seated considerations.
Relatives, like internal supervisors, were a unique class of elites that were indispensable in a royal society.
The Zhang family is the queen, but the power of the Zhang family's relatives in the court is very thin, which is a little abnormal.
The emperor's promise to bring the empress's relatives was actually based on the consideration of supporting the faction of foreign relatives and using it to check and balance the important ministers of the alliance between the court and the central government.
Now in the DPRK and China, the party of the crown prince Li Yu occupies the mainstream and the majority.
In addition to this, there were a few royalists who were loyal to the old emperor.
Although the emperor named many people and asked Yan Zhenqing and these people to follow the old emperor to Lishan Palace, the old emperor has been in power for decades, and who knows how many people in the court still obey the old emperor.
It is highly likely that these people threw themselves into the arms of the crown prince Li Yu after the old emperor was exiled.
The emperor could not be left unguarded.
And the third faction is Li Mi, Du Hongji, these newly promoted ministers, belong to the emperor's henchmen.
Kong Sheng is also counted in this list.
However, the power of the emperor's party was weak, and it was difficult to compete with the princelings at many critical moments, especially when the imperial court was discussing major state affairs.
Therefore, Li Heng pushed the boat down the river and prepared to support the concubine party again, which was conducive to the emperor's checks and balances.
What the superior is most worried about is not actually the fight between the courtiers and subordinates, but the fear that the subordinates will unite as a rope, so that the superior will actually be hollowed out.
The imperial court is actually the largest field of power, with a focus on strife and checks and balances.
To be honest, most emperors have the same original intention, but it's just that it's hard to hold a proper measure for this thing.
However, most emperors did not find a suitable control point between the power and dictatorship of their relatives, which led to the rampant faction of their relatives in the court, and even single-handedly covering the emperor and deceiving the superiors and subordinates to harm the country.
The husband and wife caressed each other and said some thoughtful words and confidant words, inadvertently the emperor mentioned Kong Sheng, the Xuanzheng Palace incident is already an open secret in the palace, although no one dares to mention it in person, but the queen also understands that the emperor was actually on the edge of life and death before, if there is no Kong Sheng's quick decision, I am afraid his end will be miserable.
The old emperor was reinstated, and as the abolished emperor, there were absolutely few people who could die well throughout the ages.
Moreover, the old emperor was held hostage and controlled by Yu Chaoen's gang of eunuchs, and in the future, the fate of the abdicated emperor can be imagined.
The emperor is still like this, let alone the queen of the Zhang family.
Therefore, Zhang's heart was also a little lucky, and his good impression of Kong Sheng doubled.
More importantly, Zhang could fully hear from the emperor's words that the reason why the emperor relied on Kong Sheng twice was not only because of Kong Sheng's talent, but also because Kong Sheng had a certain secret that the emperor valued very much.
What is it, the emperor kept it a secret, and the Zhang family did not dare to ask.
But in any case, it can always be seen that Kong Sheng's position is very important, and his position in the emperor's heart is very important.
For Kong Sheng, wooing is the first thing, and Kong Sheng's 100% loyalty to the emperor must be guaranteed.
Zhang said tentatively and gently: "Your Majesty, Kong Sheng is young, talented and beautiful, and he is a rare talent in the imperial court.
Since His Majesty felt that he was rewarded too quickly in terms of official positions and titles, and if he was promoted again, it might cause criticism from the courtiers, then the concubines felt that it was better to " Zhang pretended to say something and stopped.
The emperor frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's better to have something to say about your beloved wife."
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Kong Sheng is a scholar, dignified, and Fengyi is outstanding, so it is better to recruit him as a concubine and give him a princess to marry, so as to win his heart, and show His Majesty's respect and favor to him."
The biggest means of wooing in the world is to turn the other party into one's own.
Zhang's words made the emperor's eyes light up: "Good."

What my beloved wife said is very reasonable.
So, according to my beloved wife's words, which princess should I give to Kong Sheng in marriage?"
Zhang's eyes rolled, and he grinned: "Your Majesty, the concubine has heard that Kong Sheng is good friends with Ning Guo and Ji Guo, and Princess Ning Guo is about to return to her relatives, so let Princess Ji Guo marry Kong Sheng, how can Ji Guo and Kong Sheng be the same age, talented and beautiful, and they can be called a good match." ” The emperor slapped his palms suddenly: "Yes, I have forgotten about this stubble."
I also heard that Ji Guo and Kong Sheng are very close, since they have feelings, I will push the boat along the river and become an old man for a month. ” Zhang smiled silently, but his heart was extremely proud.
She has a good relationship with Ji Guo recently, Princess Ji Guo is one of the emperor's many daughters who is very close to her, and Ji Guo's marriage to Kong Sheng is equivalent to pulling Kong Sheng into her camp, adding another layer of bargaining chips for future planning.
This idea was actually the work of her son, Dingwang Li Tong.
Few people in the palace were aware that the young Li Tong had become a hidden figure who was manipulating some kind of overall situation behind the scenes, and Kong Sheng felt a little about this, as for the others, no one noticed Li Tong's existence at all.
Among Li Heng's several princes, the young Li Tong is the most inconspicuous one.
However, it is this most inconspicuous teenager who gradually shows an extraordinary side beyond ordinary people's imagination, and becomes more and more prominent.
Even Zhang's didn't realize that she had almost obeyed her son recently.
At this moment, Kong Sheng was in a deep sleep, he didn't know that in the understatement of the emperor and his wife, his future fate was decided to marry the princess, on the surface, it was incomparably honored and powerful, but in fact, not everyone liked to be a concubine to marry a princess.
The concubine Duwei seems to be the emperor's son-in-law, which is unspeakably expensive, but in fact he is subject to many restrictions, even in terms of women, because he married the emperor's daughter and can no longer take concubines.
However, one is that the emperor does not dare to disobey the marriage, and the other is to marry the royal family, which is in line with the political interests of the family.
Therefore, all the son-in-law candidates who were given marriage and chosen by the emperor all seemed to be jubilant and cheering.
At least on the surface.
The emperor stayed in Zhang's Anning Palace for a whole night, and found emotional solace and soothing tension from Zhang's plump and feminine body, so he left Anning Palace and returned to his dormitory with great interest, and promised to continue to come tomorrow when he left.
Zhang was overjoyed.
She is actually only in her thirties, and she is in the prime of her life, there are so many concubines in the harem, and the emperor's interest in women in the past two years does not seem to be too great, so the number of times she has been happy with the emperor is even more pitiful, only a handful.
If a woman even has a bed with her husband has become scarce, what kind of relationship can she talk about?
What's more, she is a very ambitious woman, and her desire for power is far beyond that of ordinary women.
She also wanted to give birth to a prince or daughter to the emperor as a way to consolidate her position.
Don't look at her now, she is the queen of the world, commanding the six palaces, but in fact, there are great hidden dangers and variables in this kind of respect, once the emperor empathizes with other concubines who are as beautiful as flowers, it is possible to have soft ears and new establishment.
There are many more things to do after the abolition of the emperor's family than the abolition of the crown prince.
It stands to reason that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, just like the father of the people.
Then the queen is the mother of the people, she must practice the way of the mother, treat people with kindness, and she is to the people of the world, so the queen wants the mother to honor the world, if it is not for the mother's failure and easy abolition, it is related to the stability of the imperial power, the dignity of the country and the consequences of violating the family law of the ancestors.
However, it still happens from time to time, which is not only related to the emperor's preferences, but also closely related to the change of political situation and the struggle for power.
According to incomplete statistics, only the Tang generation, from Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to the present, there have been four abolished queens.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang abolished Empress Wu Zetian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang abolished Empress Wei, Emperor Ruizong of Tang abolished Empress Liu, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang abolished Empress Wang.
In fact, if the direction of history continues along the established track, the Zhang family will also be among the posteriors in the future.
The probability is so high that Zhang has to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.
Therefore, if the empress wants to secure her position, in addition to currying favor with the emperor, she must also have her own solid power in the court and have a decisive influence in the court.
This is the key factor for the Zhang family to do everything possible to support people from his mother clan to enter the court and become officials.
A queen is not a good queen if she has no talent.
And if the queen doesn't have the skills and power, she can't be the queen and can't be the queen for a long time. oshow7 t1706231537:
