Chapter 3381 Ancient Orphan 45

Don't say that the ladies of the Lu family don't know, it's still possible that the old couple doesn't know, because they are old and don't care about the house anymore, and the ladies of the housekeeper are restraining the servants, and they don't want them to follow the old couple's premise. They didn't know that it was possible for them to be bullied. However, how could the ladies of the house not know about their own children bullying the original body? They knew it but pretended not to know. Then, they couldn't blame these little girls. , always blame their parents for poor discipline.

It would be even more terrible if they were not unable to discipline but deliberately let it go.

Anyway, it’s up to the Lu family to choose. In short, it’s normal that the Lu family’s in-laws don’t dare to have a girl from the Lu family. After all, either the girl in your family is not good, or the adults in your family are not good, there is always something wrong. If one party is not good, there are so many families in Beijing. They can choose good ones, so why should they choose those with bad character?

The old couple did not know about these things that happened to the Lu family, because the old couple were already very old. The Lu family was afraid that if they told the old couple these things, the old couple would die soon.

Once the old couple passes away, Queen Shen will no longer have any love for the Lu family. It is uncertain whether she will take revenge on the Lu family.

Because of what they did back then, the Lu family, who were afraid of being retaliated by An Ran, naturally had to protect the old couple well and wanted them to live a long life, so they used it as their protection card.

Not to mention that An Ran was made queen, the Lu family not only did not enjoy the benefits, but also brought these disadvantages, but the fifth prince's maternal family, the Wang family, heard about this and they were so angry that they vomited blood.

They were naturally looking forward to the future that Concubine Wang Shu had discussed with them.

Now that the fifth prince is on the throne, there is no queen. According to the previous discussion, their girl should be the queen.

As a result, the fifth prince did not make his girl his queen at all, and even refused to accept his girl as his concubine. This naturally made the Wang family feel that they had suffered a big loss and were very unhappy.

He immediately went to find the fifth prince and mentioned the matter. Then the head of the Wang family said, somewhat softly and hard: "Do you think it is appropriate for your majesty to treat us relatives so badly? Now the court is still relying on us to deal with those ministers to steal for you. Come to the court to gain power, otherwise, if you have no power, who will listen to you in the future? But now, you are so cold to our hearts, how can we still be in the mood to help you fight for the power of the court!"

This means that if the fifth prince does not accept their daughter as his concubine, then they will not help him seize power in the court. When they see him, he has nothing, how can he manage the government.

The fifth prince has no one and no power, so the head of the Wang family dares to say such a thing.

After hearing the Wang family's threat, the fifth prince couldn't help but sneer and said: "Do I want to take a concubine or not? I have to listen to you, uncle? The power of the court does not matter to me whether I love you or not."

He really doesn't care, because as long as the power of the court is not in his hands, but in the hands of his maternal family, or in the hands of ministers, is there any difference? Aren’t they all not their own?

More importantly, is the Wang family fighting for power for themselves? How can it be! It's for their own power! If they don't fight for power, where will these benefits come from!

The head of the Wang family never thought that the fifth prince would not be threatened by him. He had no choice now, because it was impossible for him not to fight for power and profit just because the fifth prince did not accept his daughter as his concubine, because he would be the one who would suffer in that case.

Although they could not threaten the fifth prince, a rift naturally appeared between the Wang family and the fifth prince. The Wang family now only fought for power and profit for themselves, but no longer for the fifth prince.

After all, if you can't let your daughter enter the palace and gain greater benefits, you will naturally have to gain more power from the court. Otherwise, you can't support your nephew to come to power, and you won't get any advantage.

Although there was a rift between the Wang family and the fifth prince, the fifth prince did not unite with others to deal with the Wang family, because the Wang family was unreliable, but others were?

Relatives are not reliable, let alone outsiders.

Therefore, the fifth prince did not care about the fight ahead, and only let them fight to the death among themselves. Occasionally, they would listen to An Ran and find opportunities to insert some people into the court to become their own people and slowly increase their power.

This is not a difficult task, because in the fierce competition in the previous dynasty, sometimes you can always pick up the slack and place some fifth princes, or people that An Ran is optimistic about, in some unimportant and low-level positions.

An Ran told him that these people were quite capable, so he could just put them there and let them develop on their own. As for him, he just had to give them a helping hand occasionally.

When these seedlings grow up, he will have power.

If these people still fail to climb up with his secret help, it means that their abilities are still not good enough, so there is no need to regret it, just continue to look for people with better abilities to train.

As for how they found out that these people had good abilities, it was naturally An Ran's investigation. The fifth prince also knew that An Ran had some of his own people to help her investigate some information, so he naturally believed in An Ran's investigation.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it, because he doesn't have the manpower, and if he doesn't believe in An Ran, how can he know who is good and who is bad?

Of course, it's not like he hasn't thought about it. Now that he's the emperor, it's time to manage his own manpower. After all, he can't always rely on An Ran. He also wants to make some achievements for An Ran to see.

However, he is still just getting started, so he still has to rely on An Ran for some things.

The ministers of the former dynasty and the Wang family naturally discovered the emperor's little tricks, but because the places where the emperor was placed were all low-level places, the ministers of the previous dynasty and the Wang family did not look down on those low-level official positions, so looking at the emperor's placement, Just open one eye and close one eye.

Firstly, they don't have that many manpower, so they have to fill even low-level official positions; secondly, they also want to take this opportunity to sell the new emperor well, so that the new emperor will stand on their side and suppress their opponents.

Although the new emperor has no power, his own opinion is a force. After all, the status of emperor is very effective, and it is not a bad thing to win him over.

The fifth prince saw quickly that there was a group of people arranged by himself in the court, and he couldn't help but be happy.

Most of the people he arranged could remain loyal. After all, they were arranged by the emperor himself. They felt that they were appreciated by the emperor, so they were naturally willing to work for the emperor.

Only a handful of people felt that the emperor was useless and turned to others.

These people naturally made the fifth prince unhappy, but he listened to An Ran's words. An Ran said, this shows that these people have no vision. Wouldn't it be better for people without vision to go to the enemy's side? Furthermore, in the future, when he has his own strength, those people will regret treating him like this now when they see that he has established a firm foothold.

So there is no need to be unhappy, as long as you become stronger, others will be unhappy, and you will be retaliating against the other party.
