Chapter 675: Eliminating the Su Family
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also entered the palace today. After His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Queen were captured, I saw with my own eyes that Linchuan went in the direction of Fengyi Palace."
"So I dare to guess that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be in the Queen's bedroom."
After she finished speaking, she carefully observed Concubine Li's expression.
Sure enough, Concubine Li's face darkened, and it looked like a storm was about to come.
Jianlan knew that Concubine Li became very angry when she heard the Queen's name.
And if she knew that Luo Jingshen went to the Queen, her anger would grow.
As expected, Concubine Li slammed the table heavily and gritted her teeth and said, "What qualifications does she have to let my son visit her?"
"Why doesn't the queen die yet?"
Concubine Li hated the Queen to the core.
She wanted to get rid of the queen many times.
But thinking of Luo Jingshen's current position, she could only suppress the resentment in her heart.
The queen's presence is a good thing for Luo Jingshen.
After all, if her position is stable, Luo Jingshen's position will be more stable.
But now, Concubine Li doesn't think so.
Just because Luo Junhe's leg has healed, Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe may discover Luo Jingshen's true identity at any time.
They have seriously threatened Luo Jingshen's position as crown prince.
Concubine Li had previously thought that after Emperor Jingyang died, Luo Jingshen would naturally inherit the throne.
But now she doesn't think so.
Emperor Jingyang is in good health now, and it is still unknown when he will die.
Luo Jingshen might not be able to wait until the day when he can abdicate smoothly.
During this period, the biggest variable was Luo Junhe.
Now that the threat of Luo Junhe is gone, they can wait patiently. After all, the secret will not be discovered by anyone.
But now that Luo Junhe has stood up, he may meet the queen at any time.
And every time they met, it was a test and threat to Luo Jingshen and himself.
Concubine Li felt that there were only three ways to resolve this threat.
The first thing is to get rid of Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang.
But it is obvious that this method is not feasible.
During this year, Luo Jingshen and himself had sent people to assassinate Luo Junhe no less than ten times, and each time ended in failure.
Take the recent assassination for example, King Nan Xiao and Emperor Jingyang also sent people.
They arranged the most powerful secret guards around them, but what was the result?
It was because of this that Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang returned to the capital alive.
The assassination attempt had been impossible before, when he was paralyzed in bed.
Now that he is well, it becomes more difficult to assassinate him.
Concubine Li felt that the method of assassinating Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang was no longer feasible.
They have missed the best time to take action, and they don't know when the next opportunity will come.
The second method is to lead people to attack the palace and force Emperor Jingyang to abdicate to Luo Jingshen.
But doing so would make Luo Jingshen be charged with the crime of patricide and forcing the emperor to abdicate.
He came to the throne in an illegitimate way, the ministers in the court might look down on him, and the people of Dongchen Kingdom would also disobey him.
Even if Luo Jingshen really sat on the throne, this action would ruin his reputation and bring him a lot of trouble.
After that, when people mentioned the emperor of Dongchen Kingdom, they would think of the scene of him forcing the emperor to abdicate and seize the throne.
However, Prince Nan Xiao and Concubine Li also have a problem of their own.
After Luo Jingshen ascends the throne, the two of them will definitely enter the palace to assist him.
Then it would be impossible to hide her affair with King Nan Xiao anymore.
Others just need to use their brains to figure it out.
It turned out that Luo Jingshen was his and King Nan Xiao's biological son, and Luo Junhe was swapped by them.
The real Crown Prince is Luo Junhe, not Luo Jingshen.
Then there will be more people in the court who will oppose Luo Jingshen, and Prince Nan Xiao and Concubine Li will be infamous forever.
Although Concubine Li didn't say it, she really wanted to be the empress dowager.
She dreams of surpassing the queen and suppressing her, so how could she want to ruin her own reputation?
Furthermore, forcing the emperor to abdicate is a very serious matter.
If they succeed, it will be fine. But if they fail, all of them will die without a burial place.
Concubine Li only knew that Prince Nan Xiao had the power of 300,000 soldiers and that he had been training secretly.
But she didn't know whether these people were a match for Long Yuejun?
She didn't want Luo Jingshen to take this step before he was absolutely sure.
After all, if they really take this step, they will have no way out.
The third method is to start with the Queen and eliminate the Queen and the Su family behind her.
The reason why the queen could become the queen was largely due to the contribution of the Su family behind her.
As a veteran of two dynasties, Su Taifu assisted the previous emperor and the current emperor, and was also the teacher of Emperor Jingyang and the crown prince.
He held a very high position in the court and had an excellent reputation.
It can be said that every official in the court wanted to curry favor with Master Su.
It's not just because he has a daughter who is the queen, but also because being taught by Tutor Su is equivalent to getting a stepping stone to the Royal Academy.
Among the ministers in the capital, who doesn't want his children to be qualified to study in the Imperial Academy?
But the threshold for admission to the Royal Academy is extremely high.
Except for those who are members of the royal family who can enter without any threshold, everyone else has to go through numerous tests, or have Tutor Su write a letter of recommendation for them.
However, Master Su is also an extremely old-fashioned man.
Unless he voluntarily accepts someone as his student, he will reject anyone, no matter their status, even if they come to him for help.
Tutor Su likes students who are smart, hardworking and talented.
In his opinion, the talents of students in the capital were very average, even those who entered the Royal Academy.
It is also for this reason that Tutor Su has been unwilling to accept new students for a long time.
Despite this, there were countless ministers who wanted to make friends with him.
In Concubine Li's view, these people want to curry favor with Tutor Su, but don't they also want to make friends with the Crown Prince?
Everyone knows that the prince's maternal grandfather is the current Taifu Su.
The more friends Su Taifu makes, the greater help he will be to the prince in the future.
This was a good thing in Concubine Li's eyes. She wished to make as many friends as possible with Master Su.
Concubine Li did think so before, but after being slapped in the face by reality, she realized that things seemed a little different from what she thought.
Because Su Taifu was too rigid, he was unwilling to make friends with those ministers, and even more unwilling to recruit the ministers' sons as students.
As a result, he offended many people in the court.
Many ministers with small minds, when they thought that the Master Su who had offended them was Luo Jingshen's grandfather, naturally became unwilling to support Luo Jingshen.
