Chapter 593 The Empress Dowager's Original Intention
"But Gege, the reason you chose Prince Yinzhen is because you wanted a fool to sit in that position, making it easier for you and Korchin..."
"Be careful with your words!" The Empress Dowager slowed down her tone again and said, "Su Ma, this matter is done in secrecy. There are some things that should not be said, and there are some thoughts that should not be exposed to the light of day."
"I know I was wrong." She was too excited. Such impertinent words should not be said by a servant like her.
If the person in front of her was not the princess she had been with all her life, Su Malagu, who had been cautious all her life, would have ruined herself because of her words.
The Empress Dowager was not angry with Su Malagu in the first place. When she saw her confessing her crime, her heart softened and she let the matter go completely.
"I understand your concerns, but I am watching over you from within, and Khorchin is your shield from the outside. Yinzhen is not a mentally retarded child. How can he not support the Qing Dynasty?"
"With you here, I have nothing to worry about, but..." Su Malagu couldn't say the rest of the words, as she always felt a little unlucky.
Even though it was an indisputable fact that her princess was old, Su Malagu sincerely hoped that she could live a thousand or ten thousand years.
Princess, have you really forgotten why you wanted to support Prince Saiyinchahun to take the throne in the first place?
Isn't it because she is worried that after her death, the Emperor will not treat the Empress Dowager well and will not be close to Korchin, so she is willing to take the risk of completely breaking off relations with the Emperor and still take the trouble to plan?
But now he has bigger ambitions and is planning crazier things, but has he forgotten that his life span is coming to an end?
Su Malagu was unwilling to curse her own princess, but even after saying this, the princess still did not wake up. Or perhaps the huge benefits had blinded the princess's mind, making her unwilling to wake up, or even pretending to be confused while knowing the truth.
Su Malagu was extremely anxious. She could not just stand by and watch the princess make mistakes and destroy the Qing Dynasty to which she had devoted her life and the foundation created by three generations of the previous emperor's ancestors and descendants.
Looking at the person kneeling at her feet, the Queen Mother's feverish head calmed down a little, and she said unhappily, "Su Ma, what are you doing?"
"Princess, do you still remember why you insisted on letting the Empress Dowager raise Prince Saiyinchahun?"
"Of course I remember, I haven't forgotten!
Suma, I was planning for Uyunna back then, and now I am planning for her and Korchin, and in the future... naturally, this will not change."
The Empress Dowager knew very well why Su Malagu reacted now, and she had long anticipated Su Malagu's opposition, but the Empress Dowager also had her own considerations.
Now these words are telling Su Malagu that her mind has not changed at all.
"If you really hadn't forgotten, you wouldn't have said this today."
"Su Ma!" The Empress Dowager's tone was a little harsh. She didn't know what was going on, but Su Malagu would never be so presumptuous in the past.
Su Malagu slowed down her tone and explained:
"Princess, you should have been an eagle soaring on the grassland. Even if you were trapped in the backyard, your spirit could not be extinguished. You have always been the brightest pearl on the Korchin grassland. That is why we were able to support the little prince all the way to where he is today."
Hearing what Su Malagu said, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but fall into memories.
Yes, it hadn't been easy walking this path, with so many ups and downs, so many bumps and thorns. Her sister, husband, aunt, son, and countless enemies had all fallen along the way, leaving only her and Suma to this day.
"Others may not know how much effort you have put into the Qing Dynasty, but I have seen it all. I know that you do everything not just for Taizong and the late emperor. Although you are a woman, you also have this vast country in your heart.
But Gege, I don't understand why you, such as yourself, would disregard the safety of the country for your own selfish desires. You say you haven't forgotten your original intention, but the Gege that Suma knew would never do this.
Even though she could show any of her ugly thoughts to the person in front of her without reservation, the Empress Dowager was still a little angry and embarrassed when faced with Su Malagu's grief.
"I have never disregarded the Qing Dynasty!"
"With you here, I am not worried, but what about you...after that? Who will take care of His Majesty then?" The His Majesty that Su Malagu was referring to here naturally could not be the current emperor, but Prince Yinzhen, who was favored by the Empress Dowager.
"Is it the Empress Dowager? Or do you want a certain prince or noble to leave the grasslands and take over the imperial court? Princess, is this realistic?"
His Majesty treated Korchin with caution, and was even more vigilant towards the noble Borjigit lady in the harem. Could this be just her personal political stance?
"do not talk."
In fact, even if Su Malagu didn't say it, the Empress Dowager was very clear that the current Qing Dynasty and the former dynasty and harem are no longer the same as they were during the time of Emperor Taizong.
After the efforts of Fulin and Xuanye, the Khorchin remained important, but had been torn out of its heart. Without the Khorchin guarding the border, the Qing might have been severely weakened, but it would not have been in mortal danger.
Not to mention the consistent attitude of the concubines in the palace towards the Borjigit family, even in the previous dynasty, those old foxes would not give Khorchin a chance to rise again.
Every man has his own share. If there is benefit, who wouldn't stick to his own people? Who would be happy to see more wolves dividing the meat? If one group gains while the other loses, wouldn't the benefit he gets be less?
What's more, if Khorchin really had such a talented person, why would the Empress Dowager be so unwilling to give up on sending people to the emperor's harem?
Unfortunately, the boys are not very good, and the girls are not necessarily that outstanding either.
The niece and great-niece in front, one was deposed, and the other became invisible. Qiqige and Naren who came later, one was born with a rebellious nature, and the other was also a simple-minded person, which made the Empress Dowager dare not hold too much hope.
If only there was an outstanding one, why would she pin her hopes on the offspring born to the concubines?
Back then, after Emperor Taizong's two previous wives met with misfortunes, my aunt Zhezhe successfully ascended to the throne as a concubine, was smoothly canonized as empress, and had a good end.
(Huang Taiji's first wife, Niuhulu, died of depression, and his second wife, Ulanara, was deposed.)
If my aunt had given birth to a boy, the outcome would have been unpredictable.
Even if she doesn't look like me or my aunt, it would be fine if she could be like my sister who can firmly grasp a man's heart.
Even if the Empress Dowager did not like such things, it would be a different matter if it involved her own family and could benefit her side.
But the fact is, although Qiqige and Naren were good-looking, they could only be lost in the harem full of beauties.
