But back to the overall situation, Chen Bulan thought about it deeply. Instead of thinking that Sui Minghuan's future was limitless like those in the harem who followed the wind, he gave Wei Huai'an an interesting explanation after careful consideration.

"But empress, if you give Sui Zhaoyi such special treatment just out of guilt, Sui Zhaoyi will not cause much danger to you."

This was the first time Wei Huaian heard this statement, and his interest was aroused. His pupils slowly turned to Chen Buran and asked: "How do you say it?"

Chen Buran did not look at her, but instead cast his gaze on the flowers that still retained some fragrance. It seemed that he was admiring the flowers, but in fact his eyes were empty, as if he was recalling some bad memories.

After a long while, Wei Huaian heard Chen Bulan say: "I once experienced something. At that time, out of good intentions, I saved a penniless scholar and gave him meticulous care. Not long ago, I saved a penniless scholar.

, The scholar did his best and got a good rank in the exam, but after he became famous, he turned against his concubine."

Wei Huai'an frowned, vaguely knowing what Chen Bulan meant, and he had a guess in his mind, and said: "You mean..."

Chen Buran also knew that she had probably thought of the place he wanted to say. He nodded and acknowledged: "Yes, what I want to say is that if you accumulate too much kindness, the other party will feel guilty towards you and feel that they owe you something."

If he loves you a lot, he will feel insecure, and the more he will feel that you are a threat to him."

"Just like the Yangliu family today." Chen Bulan gave an example in a calm tone.

Wei Huaian knew the Yangliu family.

These two families are actually the families behind Yang Guifei and Liu Chongrong, and they have always shared weal and woe.

However, since she started playing this game, she has been exposed to less court affairs, so she doesn't know what else she doesn't know about after this.

Wei Huai'an frowned and asked, "What happened to the two families?"

"Mother, these are all old things. I only found out about them when my father accidentally talked about them." Thinking of these old things that no one mentioned anymore, Chen Buran couldn't help but sneer and said: "The Yangliu family

Well, although their ancestors were both founding heroes, in the beginning it was not like today, where the interests of the two families were closely linked."

"They were so prosperous at the beginning of this dynasty. The founding king suffered too much kindness from them and still couldn't get over it. Even the next generation of monarchs had to bear the pressure from these two families."

Wei Huai'an knew what she was going to say, and suddenly realized: "But the emperor is the king of a country, and it is impossible for two aristocratic families to hold him above his head, so he started to be afraid of them?"

"What's more important is," Chen Buran sneered sarcastically and said, "The people in these two families have not realized that too much is too little. Not only do they not know how to restrain themselves, they show off their power every day, and they even go to the extreme. But they also don't think about it. At that time,

The emperor did not take action because he had no excuse."

It's normal operation.

When Wei Huaian heard this, he thought in his heart.

Since ancient times, in aristocratic families, the people at the top are basically not good enough to withstand the pressure of the family, and the people at the bottom are excessively hateful. If the monarch doesn't deal with it, who will your family deal with?

"So, the emperor at that time took action against these two families?" Wei Huaian asked tentatively.

Chen Buran made a soft "hmm" sound and said with a smile: "If it hadn't been dealt with later, the strength of these two families would have been greatly weakened. In addition, after that time, they were almost as one in the eyes of the emperor. They

They won’t be tied together.”

Wei Huaian suddenly realized.

She had thought the situation between these two families was strange before.

Generally speaking, there will be cooperation between the aristocratic family and the aristocratic family, but it will not be the same as the Yangliu family. Whenever there is any benefit, the two families will discuss it before dividing it up; if something goes wrong, the two families will

Let's discuss it together. The relationship is so good that it was born from the same parents.

After all, there are only so many interests in the court, and the cake is only so big. Due to human nature, aristocratic families will usually find ways to take as much as they can.

Rather than win-win cooperation, these two companies are more like grasshoppers tied to the same boat.

Now it seems that there are traces of how Concubine Yang Shu and Liu Chongrong were so deliberately obsessed with targeting Sui Minghuan.

Wei Huaian had always thought that this was just a simple palace fight, but he did not expect that it turned out that the two of them were more concerned about the family behind them.

As an emperor, Jun Zeci may not be happy when he sees the harmony between Yang Shufei Liu Chongrong, who represents the conservative faction, and Sui Minghuan, who represents the reformist faction.

Thinking more darkly, he might even suspect that they were connected.

Therefore, for a normal emperor, the most stable state in the court is when two parties compete against each other.

But...

Wei Huai'an recalled Jun Zeci's tone and expression when he mentioned these aristocratic families, and it became a little subtle. She always felt that Jun Zeci might not actually like these old brands who fought for interests but in the end did not make much contribution to the country.

family.

Later, I continued to chat casually with Chen Buran intermittently while shopping. Chen Buran became more and more interested as he chatted.

Wei Huai'an himself is a more casual person, and his knowledge is wider than that of Chen Buran, so he can naturally amaze Chen Buran again and again.

Even when Jun Zehu came to find Chen Bulan and was about to take Chen Bulan back home, Chen Bulan still looked at Wei Huai'an reluctantly and said in a rather pityful tone: "It's such a pity, Madam, we only have to

We can talk about it till now. Let’s talk about it when we have time in the future.”

Wei Huaian also thought the role of Chen Bulan was quite interesting, so he agreed with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Chen Bulan, Wei Huaian did not return to Fengyi Palace, but went to Qianqing Palace to find Jun Ze to say goodbye.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Jun Zeci holding a pen in his right hand and writing something quickly.

Wei Huai'an walked over and took a look, and saw that it happened to be the crimes committed by the Yangliu family over the years that he just mentioned to Chen Buran.

In addition to being impeached by the imperial censor because the children of two families indulged in pleasure and ruined their families, there was also an even more important thing - evidence of corruption between these two families in recent years was found.

Wei Huai'an suddenly understood and said: "So King Chen came here this time to submit this impeachment to you?"

Jun Zeci had long felt that there was a figure standing in front of him. Maybe he had long been accustomed to Wei Huaian's habit of not saluting when entering the palace, or maybe he knew that immortals like Wei Huaian who came down from the sky did not have the habit of saluting.

, Jun Zici no longer feels that Wei Huai'an disrespects him.

Hearing this, he just said a faint "hmm" as an answer.

Wei Huai'an was a little surprised and said with emotion: "I originally thought that King Chen and you were not of the same mind."

Could half-brothers in ancient times be so harmonious?
