When I watched " misaligned " these two days, I saw a question: "After adulthood, which one is more likely to be deceived, children from rich families or children from poor families?"
The answer is children from poor families, because children from rich families are more likely to be deceived. People have tried to deceive children since they were young. By the time they grow up, they have experienced many battles. Children from poor families have not had similar experiences, so they are more likely to be deceived.
Seeing the attitudes of Concubine Rou and the Queen towards their children, I quickly thought of that question. The answers to these two questions are similar.
also lives in a battle for power, but Xiao Rou, who was born in a poor family, desires power far more than Shangguan Yue, and even exceeds the love for her children.
Once one attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. The less you have obtained it, the more you fear losing it, and the more you long for it.
01
Xiao Rou accepted bribes while in charge of the Inspectorate, was impeached by the officials, and was thrown into prison by the emperor.
She knew that her only chance to make a comeback was if Li Cheng became emperor. In order for her to make a successful comeback, she focused all her efforts on Hua Le.
She gave Hua Le two paths. One was to keep her away from the center of power and choose to settle down and start a new life. The other was to take risks and gain a chance of survival.
Xiao Rou gave Hua Le two ways, but she kept exaggerating the second way, hinting both inside and outside that Hua Le should choose the second way and fight for a chance of survival.
She told Hua Le that she should assassinate Li Chuan and kill Li Chuan. Li Ming would only have one son, Li Cheng, and he could only inherit the throne. When the time comes, she, the mother, could be released.
The naive Hua Le really took Xiao Rou's words as a solution to the problem, but she didn't know that Xiao Rou's deepest calculations against her were hidden in these words.
Xiao Rou asked Hua Le to kill Li Chuan, not because she thought she could kill Li Chuan, but because she wanted Hua Le to be the one who took the blame for Li Chuan's death. Only when the person takes the blame will other aristocratic families take action. Assassination of the prince.
When the time comes, when the prince dies, Hua Le takes the blame, Li Cheng ascends the throne, and she, Xiao Rou, becomes the queen mother.
One daughter bought the throne and the position of Queen Mother. It was really a good deal.
02
After Li Cheng was poisoned by Li Ming, Xiao Rou slapped Hua Le on the face. Why wasn't she the one who died?
If you think she is patriarchal, you are totally wrong. She does not value anyone but only who can bring her power and stabilize her position.
After Li Cheng died, Xiao Qian brought someone who looked similar to Li Cheng. The moment she saw the fake Li Cheng, her tears stopped and she immediately weighed the pros and cons.
She said that the person lying down was not Cheng'er. She said that the fake Li Cheng was her son. She said that Li Cheng's body would be their leverage...
She allowed Xiao Qian to drag Li Cheng away from her back. , not even a whole body was left for him.
I have to say that Xiao Qian used the word "handle" very well, vividly reflecting their ruthlessness and choice. What does Li Cheng mean to her at this moment?
a useless tool? Or is it a handle that can lead to her demise?
Xiao Rou's cruel side made me wonder, was Xiao Rou's initial sadness because of Li Cheng's death, or because of the status, power and hope she was about to lose?
also lives in the arena of power struggle, and is also a mother. When comparing Concubine Rou with the Queen, the superiority and inferiority are clear at a glance.
03
Li Ming asked Li Chuan to choose between the throne and the Shangguan family. As long as he was willing to get rid of the Shangguan family, get rid of Shangguan Yue, and get rid of Li Rong, he would give him the throne.
But Li Chuan refused. He did not accept Li Ming's conditions and stood firmly on the side of Shangguan Yue and Li Rong. In this way, the first person Li Ming got rid of was no longer the Shangguan family, but Li Chuan, the prince. .
The emperor used Dongxi to set up a trap and wanted to get rid of Li Chuan and the Shangguan clan. The queen and Li Rong had foreseen Li Ming's plan in advance. Li Rong originally wanted to test the queen's next plan to see whether she wanted to abandon her.
But the queen had already thought of a place for her. She gave the token in her hand to Li Rong and asked her to go to the designated place. Someone would take her away by then.
She said that it didn't matter how she was, as long as Li Rong and Li Chuan lived well, he would be relieved.

The queen grew up in a wealthy family and was told to put the interests of the family first. She has an innate desire for power, but her desire is far less than that of Concubine Rou.
Although the queen values ââpower and the status of the Shangguan family, if power is put together with the life and death of her children, she will only care about the life and death of her children, not power.
Concubine Rou was different. Concubine Rou was born in a poor family. She had experienced enough hardships in life and had never tasted the taste of power. But once she tasted it, she would never go back.
This may be another understanding of "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality". After she tasted the benefits of power, she wanted more, wanted to climb higher, and was afraid of losing and going back. Hard days.
05
"ä¸ĺĺš´" also plays a mother. When comparing Concubine Rou with the Queen, the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.
The biggest difference between Concubine Rou and the Queen is not only the choice between power and family affection, but also the temperament and demeanor of the two people. Shangguan Yue is dignified, graceful, gentle and virtuous, while Concubine Rou looks quite noisy and has a bit of an eye. play.
