When we watch conspiracy dramas, we always hear a sentence: put a long line to catch a big fish.
Everyone understands the truth, but it is not easy to grasp this "long line".
Let's talk about Concubine Hua;
Either the "line" is as short as one minute to trace the source, like the Meizhuang overboard incident;
Either the "line" has been released, and an inattentive one has already tied a dead knot, like the Xianyue Pavilion incident.
If you talk about the people in the Forbidden City who are best at putting a line to fish, it is none other than Cao Qinmo.
Why are many people's fishing skills not good?
The main reason is that the "bait" is not chosen correctly.
If someone fishes, it doesn't matter if it's freshwater fish or saltwater fish, they will all treat you as "dead fish".
Here I can't help but take Concubine Hua as a negative example.
The ploy she designed for Meizhuang to splash water is an example.
What if Meizhuang didn't walk to please Ann that day? If Meizhuang's clothes are dirty, what if you send a palace maid to Jingren Palace to ask for leave? What if the queen didn't punish Meizhuang?
Is Concubine Hua's water splashed in vain?
So in the final analysis, Concubine Hua's plan is to treat Sister Mei as a fish on the chopping board, ignoring the other party's subjective initiative, and assuming that the other party is motionless and letting herself knead it.
Not to mention the low damage of such a plan, there is a risk of reversal if you are not careful.
But Cao Qinmo is different, she has an exclusive formula of "bait" for each different "fish".
For example, the reason why Meizhuang's false pregnancy is a "Meizhuang" false pregnancy instead of a "Zhen Huan" false pregnancy is because this "bait" has a special appetite for Meizhuang.
The reason for this scheme was that Meizhuang privately asked Jiang Cheng for a secret recipe for a male fetus, and Jiang Cheng reported the matter to Cao Qinmo.
If it is replaced by Concubine Hua, when she hears this information, she will immediately report Meizhuang to give it privately.
Meizhuang was fined two months of silver, and the plot ended.
And Cao Qinmo was not so anxious.
Through this information, she discovered the most "gluttonous" bait in Meizhuang - the child, and immediately began to match the "bait", planning a fake pregnancy incident that made Meizhuang demote and grounded.
For example, Hua Fei Lou's re-indulgence is also Cao Qinmo's masterpiece of "bait" under the taste.
After Zhen Huan's design scared Concubine Li, Concubine Hua panicked, but Cao Qinmo sat on the side and teased the baby very calmly.
Lips and teeth are cold, why doesn't Cao Qinmo worry about himself?
Because as early as when Concubine Hua asked Xiao Yinzi to serve the Yu family, Cao Qinmo had already discovered the "bait" that helped Concubine Hua resolve the crisis when the East Window incident occurred.
Looking back on those days, it was the honeymoon period of Zhen Huan and the emperor's relationship.
But he went to the Queen Mother to ask for a peace, and that night the emperor broke off the seven-day check-in of Broken Yuxuan and changed Concubine Qi's brand.
That night, another big event happened.
Concubine Hua's real-name system pushed Meizhuang into the water, but she still succeeded in snatching the emperor into her palace.
These seemingly unrelated things are superimposed, and Cao Qin has a truth to realize: even if Zhen Huan and Meizhuang are favored, they will not be able to win the battle.
In other words, the government is the most important "bait" for the emperor and the queen mother.
Therefore, as long as Concubine Hua is still Nian Qianyao's sister, and Nian Qianyao is still the general guarding the northwest, there is nothing to panic about.
The Queen Mother will naturally come forward to settle everything for Concubine Hua.
Of course, if you find the "bait" accurately, you may not be able to catch a big fish.
Because it is a very long process to put the line, many people can't bear that temperament at all.
Right! Concubine Hua is still talking about you.
Cao Qinmo invited the Queen Mother to help Concubine Hua resolve the crisis of Concubine Li's madness.
But as soon as she turned her head, Concubine Hua ran impatiently to the queen's palace to block the emperor.
Let's not talk about how bad Concubine Hua's timing was, the power of the assistant sixth palace was abolished and hit the muzzle of the gun within a few days;
It's the location, and it's not suitable!
If you want to see the emperor again, you can't run to the queen's palace to block it, right?
It is much better to go to the emperor's palace to kneel, or to have a chance encounter on the way down to the court like Sister Mei, at least you can say two words to the emperor alone.
When it comes to the queen's territory, even if the emperor wants to indulge her, he has to take care of the queen.
On the other hand, Cao Qinmo, how did she ask for it?
She didn't run to the emperor and said, Concubine Hua misses you very much, go and see Niangniang.
If this is the case, the emperor will think in his heart: Nonsense, can I not know? You're giving me a reason to gag the Queen's mouth!
Therefore, Cao Qinmo cleverly grasped that the emperor wanted to indulge Concubine Hua, but because the queen was not easy to say, he ran over to cooperate with the emperor.
The queen suggested that everyone go to the Old Summer Palace and leave Concubine Hua in the palace.
Cao Qinmo pulled out Concubine Hua's steps and swayed, saying that Concubine Hua's steps could make Wen Yi laugh.
The emperor waved his hand, good! Concubine Hua also goes!
I just want to ask, what kind of logic is this? It is Bu Shao who can coax the princess, not her Hua Concubine.
Just shake it up, what's the matter with Concubine Guan Hua?
But logic or something, it doesn't matter to the emperor.
From Concubine Hua to Bu Shao, and then to Wen Yixiao, he only made two turns, even if he turned eighteen turns, he would say the same thing.
He just wanted a reason to let Concubine Hua go, no matter how little this reason looked like a reason.
In this way, Concubine Hua was shaken to the Old Summer Palace with one step, and there were prerequisites for returning to favor.
Of course, if it is said that the most embodiment of Cao Qinmo's fishing patience is Meizhuang's fake pregnancy.
Let me ask you a question, who is the most important person in Meizhuang's false pregnancy plan?
Is it Jiangcheng who sent Fangzi? Or was it diagnosed that Meizhuang was pregnant?
No, the most important person in this plan is actually the palace maid Poria next to Meizhuang.
Because Cao Qinmo's line is extremely long.
In addition to making sour plum soup and stealing clothes and pants, Poria Cocos' more important task is to monitor Meizhuang's every move and help Cao Qinmo control the rhythm of the line.
For example, did you eat the Fang Zi Meizhuang given by Jiang Cheng? Liu Yan, a fake fellow, can win a little trust from Meizhuang? Did Meizhuang have any doubts after the fake pregnancy?
These need to be reported by Poria in a timely manner.
If anything goes wrong, the false pregnancy scheme will be terminated immediately.
Such a slow pay-off process is probably only Cao Qinmo can handle it properly, if it is a change of temperament Hua Fei Niangniang, it will not be able to be decisive.
Having said all this, the most critical step is the last step, closing the line.
Different from the first two steps of the secret and low-key, this third step is all about two words - pomp and circumstance.
You know, even if it's a sophisticated scheme, it's just a stratagem.
Let's talk about Meizhuang's fake pregnancy.
Although Cao Qinmo has planned very precisely, it is impossible to have no loopholes to follow.
For example, where is the formula for fertility? How to hide from the world in the late stage of false pregnancy? What is the need for this with the current grace of Meizhuang? And so on and so forth, and so on and so forth, and so on, and so
If Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were given time to argue, perhaps the emperor's disposition would not be so decisive.
Therefore, Cao Qinmo deliberately chose an occasion for all the concubines to gather to "close the line".
Before the emperor could come to his senses, he was already angry and sentenced Meizhuang to death.
Similarly, the closing of Huafei's return to favor is even more grand.
Not only the harem concubines, but even the royal relatives came.
Just imagine if it was just in the harem, when Concubine Hua complained about her heart, the queen could always interject and scold her.
But this is a family banquet, no matter how unhappy the queen is, it is not easy to turn her face in public, so she can only watch Concubine Hua finish her trick.
In the end, Concubine Hua's heart was also expressed, and Prince Dun's affection was also begged, and the emperor asked Zhen Huan to listen to the corner of the wall in a fake way, and the matter of regaining favor was completed.
Frankly speaking, it is difficult to bring down Meizhuang and Hua Fei's return to favor.
But Cao Qin was stunned that he used the trick of casting a long line to catch big fish, and with his keen insight and patience beyond ordinary people, Meizhuang and the emperor became fish in her net pocket.
Fishing master Cao Qinmo deserves his name.
