After the Three Brothers were deposed, Xie Qiu ran to report to the grounded Empress, and the solution proposed was: "Niangniang, you should quickly think of a way to save the Three Brothers." ”
The abolition of the Three Brothers was a major blow to the Empress's team, as the Empress said: "Good manners, what did he do for those sinners to intercede?" All these years of hard work in Hongu have been in vain! It's all in vain! ”
On the one hand, the queen blamed the incompetence of the three brothers, and on the other hand, she made a timely judgment, and their current situation was already very serious.
As the empress's confidant, Xie Qiu knew that the current situation was already very bad. Because according to the original plan, they were counting on the three brothers to solve the danger of the queen being grounded, so they tried every means to let the three brothers perform well on the birthday of the former emperor, in order to "as long as the three brothers can have a future, the palace will not suffer these grievances in vain." ”
That is to say, the empress's current predicament has not been lifted, and she has also lost the important political ally of the three brothers, which shows that the situation of the queen's team has reached a critical juncture.
Therefore, Xie Qiu would be in a hurry to come up with a plan, so that the empress could think of a way to save the three brothers, and she would carry it out. But the queen's response was: "Not useful! The emperor has always been cruel, so he broke the love between father and son. ”

This means that the Three Brothers have no value in salvation.
This is the queen's consistent style of acting, once the plan fails, she will push all the responsibility to the allies, the first time to do the interest cutting, cut off the tail to survive.
Listening to the empress's words, Xie Qiu really realized that it was not as simple as she thought, and the current situation was worse than she understood, so she had a very obvious body language, and she fell down on her knees at once, desperately asking the empress: "Niangniang, if the three brothers can't be the imperial wife..."
Although Xie Qiu's ability was poor, she also saw clearly at this moment: the queen's battle for concubines was completely lost.
The empress did not wait for Xie Qiu to finish speaking before she interrupted her: "There is no three brothers, there are four brothers, there are five brothers, and the worst is six brothers!" ”
Hearing the empress say this, Xie Qiu, who was already in a panic, added to the confusion in her mind, and she repeated the queen's words in surprise: "Brother Six? ......”
Cut Qiu's face with a hundred thousand why expressions: Zhen Huan's team is already so powerful, why did you still hit the idea of the sixth brother?
Seeing that Xie Qiu did not understand, the empress explained: "It is as if Concubine Qi died, without Zhen Huan, the palace can raise the sixth brother." ”
This is a clear hint that Shear Autumn is going to kill the mother and take the child.
The empress was actually already in disarray, but she still had to forcibly stabilize the hearts of the army: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as the palace is still the empress, as long as the palace can still make a comeback, no one's children matter, as long as it is the children of the palace, the palace is still the only empress dowager." ”
The queen's meaning of these words is: As long as I can guarantee to sit in the position of empress, I can find an opportunity to make a comeback, and whoever raises the child is the same, as long as the child I raise sits on the emperor's throne, I will still be the only empress dowager. As long as I get another child back, I can still succeed in the position.
I wrote about it before,
The empress and Xie Qiu and others both have a strong sense of "position superiority", and the empress position that they have worked so hard to obtain is afraid of being robbed by Zhen Huan, so after the three brothers are deposed, the first thing she is most worried about is that Zhen Huan will come to seize the position of empress.
This can also be seen from the reason why Xie Qiu wanted to poison Zhen Huan, and she said to Jiang Fuhai: "I have followed Niangniang for so many years, I have never seen her suffer such humiliation, the empress dowager was framed by concubines and grounded, and also caused Niangniang to have no hope of the third brother, and there is no such reason in the world." ”
What a "queen"! The essence of Xie Qiu's attack on Zhen Huan is more like maintaining a kind of rule order: how can the empress who is born out of the concubine be bullied by a side room like you Zhen Huan?!
I always felt that Xie Qiu had some heartache and pity for the empress, from the sentence she questioned the emperor: "Emperor, why don't you believe in Niangniang, she is your wife, she is sincere to you!" It is not difficult to guess that Xie Qiu should have witnessed the pain and embarrassment of many queens, so she can naturally understand the vicious methods of the queen, and she will start from the perspective of the queen and feel that these are all the queen's reasonable counterattacks and revenge.
From this point of view, if you look at the queen and the scissors, you will find that in fact, any kind of person can find their own kind, and can meet people who understand and understand themselves.
Xie Qiu did not disappoint the empress, and she accurately got the empress's instructions: "It doesn't matter if I fight hard, as long as I am in addition to Concubine Xi, Niangniang will be happy in the future." ”
According to the plan of the empress and Xie Qiu, as long as zhen huan is removed, the queen can sit on the queen's throne and make a comeback, anyway, she can move out the life-saving straw of "sister" at any time, and more importantly, removing Zhen Huan can also pave the way for the queen to raise six brothers.
In other words, how miserable can it be to underestimate the opponent's ability (or lack of awareness of the opponent)?
Just look at the Queen and Scissors.
Zhen Huan's plan was to first use the strategy of "besieging the city to help" to get rid of the three brothers, and then go straight to the point, turn out the secret of Chun Yuan's death, and completely kill the empress.
The strategy of "besieging the city and providing aid" was completely unrealized by the empress, and Zhen Huan took such a big risk to touch the porcelain queen in order to take advantage of the opportunity that the three brothers would find ways to intercede for the queen and completely get rid of the three brothers.
As for the empress, she also desperately took the three brothers as a hope, and once in a rare pattern: "Concubine Xi Guifei has been grounded many times in this way, and this palace is naturally able to withstand the empress." ”
Unfortunately, this view of the pattern came too late!
Actually, I've thought about it many times here.
Although the empress was grounded, why didn't she arrange for Xie Qiu to go and remind the three brothers to be careful of Zhen Huan's assassination?
Combined with the before and after plot of this part of the queen, I want to understand,
She was determined to raise the third brother, that is, she firmly believed that the third brother was the eldest son of the concubine and was valued by the emperor, although other concubines had thoughts about the three brothers, but the emperor would definitely save the three brothers.
Just like the Incident of Ying Guiren, even if it was the fault of the Three Brothers, the Emperor did not hesitate to execute the Three Brothers, so she confidently believed that Zhen Huan would not dare to move the Three Brothers even if she was bold.
After losing the important ally of the three brothers, the empress's cognition was deviated again, and she thought that Zhen Huan wanted to grab her empress position, so various hints were that Xie Qiu removed Zhen Huan, and while removing this threat, she could also have the opportunity to seize a prince.
Zhen Huan didn't want to be an empress at all!
Sure enough, for a person like the Queen, the more she cared about something, the more it tortured her.
The reason why the empress wanted to hint at instructing Xie Qiu to remove Zhen Huan was also a beast fight, because she didn't have more chips, and if she didn't do anything, when Zhen Huan usurped the throne and succeeded in becoming empress, she would completely fail.
She knew very well in her heart that even if Sheqiu successfully killed Zhen Huan, she would not be able to escape, but the emperor could not treat her like this, on the one hand, the emperor should look at Chun Yuan's face, on the other hand, there was the support of the Empress Dowager and other Uranala clans, as long as there was no threat of Zhen Huan, she would always find an opportunity to make a comeback.
But what the empress did not expect was that Zhen Huan wanted to turn over the secret of Chun Yuan's death and directly disintegrate the foundation of the empress's foothold from the root. If there is no prejudgment of the empress dowager's life, leaving a will to protect the empress, how miserable will the deposed empress be? It's not hard to imagine at all.
