Concubine Zhao’s mother’s family, the Zhao family, was a famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past, Concubine Zhao’s father was the Right Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He died of illness two years ago. At that time, all the courtiers thought that Concubine Zhao’s brother, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was Zhao Changrong was bound to take over the position of right minister, but Long Live Lord valued Duan Chenghong, who came from a poor family and had no foundation at that time, so Duan Chenghong, the prospective father-in-law of the Prince of the East Palace, took office and became the right minister. The Zhao family was gnashing their teeth, but they also Don't dare to complain. It's only natural for Long Live Master to promote the prince. Who dares to comment?

And the Xu family behind the Queen Mother and the Prince are not easy to mess with. A hundred years after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperors were naturally surnamed Zhong, but the successive empresses were all surnamed Xu. This originated from the Xu family. In order to express his gratitude to the Xu family, Emperor Taizu established the ancestral system for all queens of the Great Zhou Dynasty to come from the Xu family.

Not only is the queen’s surname Xu, but the Xu family has also produced three emperors and two prime ministers. It is the leading wealthy noble family in the Zhou Dynasty. However, in this generation, the descendants of the Xu family are not as good as before. Although they are so prominent, they have also produced many military generals. They may seem inconspicuous, but compared to the ministers in the capital who have no access to military and political power, this is a real force. Naturally, the Zhao family does not dare to provoke them easily. .

So even though the Zhao family was bitter about the Right Prime Minister, they had no choice but to let it go. But now that the deposed prince has fallen and Duan Chenghong has been demoted, Zhao Changrong has naturally become a popular candidate for the Right Prime Minister. For a time, The Zhao family has a well-established family, and sure enough, in early May, Long Live Lord promoted Zhao Changrong to the position of Right Chancellor, but then, there was another imperial edict. Long Live Lord made an exception and promoted Concubine Shu's father Cui You'an, and the third-rank Imperial Inspector Zuo and Deputy Imperial Envoy to the throne. From the first rank of Minister of Civil Affairs, he took Zhao Changrong's original position.

"Nowadays, people's background is not low. After all, they are from the first rank, let alone the official department," Zhao Guifei said coldly, while taking off the heavy and complicated hairpins from her bun one by one and throwing them away. On the small table, he said in a cold voice, "Long live the Lord promoted Cui Youan in the previous dynasty, and also promoted the second prince in the harem. If this continues, I am afraid that the Yanxi Palace will change hands tomorrow!"

"Mother and concubine, we can't go on like this! Just now in Baohua Temple, you also saw that the father and the second child are really a loving father and a filial son," Zhong Mingzheng was so anxious that he clenched his fists and stared at each other. Like breathing fire, he said, "I don't care whether Cui Youan gets promoted or not, but if my father insists on valuing the second child so much, maybe one day my father will issue an imperial decree and the second child will move into the East Palace!"

Seeing that the memorial day of Empress Zhenxian was coming, Long Live Lord personally went to Baohua Temple to inspect the preparations for the ceremony. Concubine Zhao and her son, Concubine Shu, and her son accompanied them. Facing the memorial tablet of Empress Zhenxian, the second prince Zhong Ming'e choked with sobs. After reciting a song called "Song of Encouraging Filial Piety", Long live the Lord was full of praises. At that time, he casually said, "It's time to crown you two brothers as kings." For a moment, the two mother and son present really had different feelings.

"Your father promoted Cui You'an to the official position just to make Concubine Shu and his son look good." Concubine Zhao took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "I see that 80% of Long Live Lord is 80% of the blame for our Zhao family's hand. It’s too long.”

Zhong Mingzheng was startled, and then whispered: "Is the mother-in-law referring to Ninggu Pagoda? But didn't we withdraw people early in the morning? And we are not the only ones over there at Ninggu Pagoda."

"So what? If Lord Long Live is suspicious of you, he will always see that there is something wrong with you. Did you only know your father's temper today?" Concubine Zhao said coldly, sighing He took a breath and said to Zhong Mingzheng, "Look at how well the second prince pleases your father. He knows where to say what to say, but what about you? Just poking at him like a wooden stake. Could it be that your father likes wooden sticks?" A stake?"

Zhong Mingzheng sniffed: "I...I just don't like the way the second child shakes his head and tail. When he sees the father, he is as flattering as a dog."
