Chapter 317 Ruyi (17)
The news that Yihuan was looking for trouble spread quickly throughout the harem like wings. Hailan sighed after hearing it, and lamented that Yihuan was not in a clear mind and went to mess with the queen when there were so many people to mess with.
Lu Changqing was very calm. She thought Yihuan was "Ruyi" 2.0 and she would not be surprised no matter what weird things the other party did.
After Emperor Gaozong of Qing recovered from his illness, Yihuan suddenly fell out of favor.
In the plot, Yihuan had a fellow patient named "Ruyi" to communicate with, but now she can only stay alone in Chuxiu Palace, flipping through a bound collection of poems and feeling sad about the passing of time.
Fortunately, Jin Yuyan was about to be released, and she was soon used as a gun.
As time went by and spring and summer came and went, in order to allow Emperor Gaozong of Qing to pave the way for her with the power of the plot, Lu Changqing was almost sick from being idle in this world for the past few years.
In order to prevent Yihuan from going astray, Lu Changqing chose to take the initiative to approach her.
Lu Changqing discovered that her main mission in this world was not to kill Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, but to brainwash these supporting characters who had the "Yi" syndrome.
As for conquering the east and the west, strengthening the country and improving people's livelihood, the domineering Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty could accomplish all of them in less than ten years. By then, she, the witch, could take them away with a bottle of termite poison and hand over the empire that the other party had worked so hard to build.
Of course, Lu Changqing would not give the country to the men of Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty. The one she favored the most was Fucha Langya.
Langya’s fourth child is about to be born. The combination of the empress dowager and the young emperor is simply perfect.
The steam age was about to come. If Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty wanted to make the country strong, he had to learn from the Western system of free competition capitalism, followed by the second stage of monopoly capitalism, and then the third stage of state monopoly capitalism.
If the Qing Dynasty could survive to this day.
Forget about taking the path of development of socialism with Chinese characteristics of the Qing Dynasty. It is totally impossible to learn to fly without learning to crawl.
Capitalism is booming, and when economic development cannot meet the ever-expanding market demand, the Industrial Revolution will come. The impact of the Industrial Revolution on feudal society is almost fatal.
Therefore, once the Qing Dynasty learned the Western path of development, it would be hard to say whether it could survive until 1840.
Of course, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty also thought of the "harm" that the Industrial Revolution brought to the imperial power. Therefore, when he was learning Western technology in the early and middle periods, he carried out "literary inquisition" to prevent the influx of the other side's thoughts and culture.
Ideology and culture are things that penetrate in every possible way, but the author used a hack, and in the article, the industry of the Qing Dynasty was booming, but the ideology was still the same as the relationship between the ruler and the minister, and the father and the son.
It was not until the end of the novel, when the author saw the women confined in the harem, that he suddenly felt guilty and allowed women to leave the house and no longer prevented the influx of Western ideas and culture.
Lu Changqing had to find a way to make Fu Cha Langya collapse in front of Emperor Gaozong of Qing in advance, accuse him of his love and cry about her tragic fate. He also had to make Wei Yanwan "tell her true feelings" to Emperor Gaozong of Qing in advance to expose her ambition to climb up.
In this article, these two women are the most important people in the life of Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty. Only their crying and making a fuss can make him feel compassion and release the women in advance.
Yihuan didn't expect that Lu Changqing would take the initiative to come to Chuxiu Palace to see her.
In fact, when she first entered the palace, she had inquired about the deeds of the concubines in the palace. After learning about what "Ruyi" had done, she felt that she had finally found someone with the same ideals as her. However, when she took the initiative to contact Lu Changqing, she noticed that the other party was indifferent, which was very different from the rumors. She felt that the other party was not a passionate, loyal and pure person at all, so she stopped paying attention to him.
"Why are you here at this time, sister?"
Lu Changqing sat on the chair and said to Yihuan, "Come and see you."
Yi Huan looked unhappy, "Sister, are you here to see the fun?"
"If I really wanted to laugh at you, I would have laughed at you loudly in front of all the concubines when I went to Changchun Palace to pay my respects."
When Yi Huan heard this, his expression became even worse. “You said you weren’t here to laugh at me.”
Lu Changqing rested his elbows on the armrests of the chair, supported his temples with his fists, and tilted his head to look at Yihuan, which made Yihuan very uncomfortable.
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
Lu Changqing said: "I'm looking at a fool."
Yi Huan choked and her face instantly turned red, "Empress Xian, what do you mean by this?"
"Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor loves the queen the most, and you are willing to give yourself to him. If you are not a fool, who is the fool?"
Yihuan straightened her back and said unconvincedly, "Who said that the emperor loves the queen the most? The emperor's favorite person is obviously me."
Lu Changqing stretched out his index finger and drew a circle in the air, "A garden is full of various flowers. A man cherishes the peony the most. Suddenly one day a lily came. The man thought it was very interesting, so he came to see the lily every day.
But the lily was not the first flower to enter the garden, nor was it the last. Why did she think she was the man's favorite? "
"I'm a human, not a flower! Don't make random comparisons!"
"Human?" Lu Changqing sneered, "How naive! You want to be a human after entering this palace? If you have this idea, no wonder you sent yourself into the palace to find true love."
Yi Huan was furious. "Weren't you the same as me in the past, finding priceless treasures easily but hard to find a lover? Why are you mocking me now?"
"I'm not here to mock you, but to warn you not to mess with the queen, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Yi Huan snorted coldly, "You are afraid of her, but I am not."
"Didn't you rely on the emperor's favor to act so recklessly before? What did you get in return? Wasn't the lesson you learned enough?"
"Wasn't I just punished to kneel for an hour? If it were any other concubine, she would definitely receive a heavier punishment. This shows that the emperor still has me in his heart." After saying this, Yihuan raised her neck with a smug look on her face.
Lu Changqing: …
Just do it. You will die if you do it. When you die, you will be silent.
"I wouldn't be able to laugh if I were you."
The smug look on Yi Huan's face disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"You are young now, and you feel fresh after entering the palace, so the emperor dotes on you. But look, because of a few words you said, the emperor immediately disliked you. Tell me, is this love?"
Yihuan looked for faults in herself and argued, "It was my fault for speaking rudely. It's normal for the emperor to be angry."
"But he did it for other women."
"That's his first wife. He should respect her."
"So he can't respect you, right?" Lu Changqing asked back.
Yihuan stiffened his neck and said nothing.
She was at a loss for words and couldn't find any reason to refute this.
"Think about it carefully, if a man can't respect you, does he really love you?
I spent several months in the cold palace to figure this out, and I hope you can figure it out as soon as possible."
Lu Changqing stopped talking and stood up to leave, but before leaving she still advised: "You are still young, don't make enemies for yourself for a man. Look at me, I am the best example. Do you also want to go to the cold palace to cultivate your character?"
