female concubine

The Li family was in the central palace, and the concubines of the pavilions visited the Kunning Hall one after another.

In the winter of the 12th year of Jianping, news came from Zongzheng Temple that the abolished prince was mentally disturbed.

The emperor's illness in the Funing Palace seemed to be improving, and the master attendant covered his hands and whispered in the ear of the abbot for a while.

"Okay, I see." Zhao Ping took the soup bowl in her hand and walked inside.

He put the bowl and the tray down together, and immediately walked to the emperor's bed and crossed his hands, "Guanjia." After straightening up, he pushed aside the curtains, "How is the official family doing recently?"

"Go... go..." The emperor's originally calm expression suddenly changed when he saw this servant.

The servant bowed to him again and said, "The villain is here to convey the news to the officials. The crown prince was abolished last night." The servant raised his indifferent eyes, "Dead."

"The imperial physician previously diagnosed that he was suffering from insanity and refused to eat for several days. The king sent a villain to report to the officials, hoping that the officials would mourn."

After the waiter finished speaking, the emperor didn't respond, so he cupped his hands again and said, "The official is good to rest, and the villain will retire."

In the late spring of the 13th year of Jianping, the emperor recovered from his initial illness but suffered from a mental disorder. Gradually, he could not even recognize people.

Peach blossoms are in full bloom on both sides of the Bianhe River in the outskirts of Tokyo, and the spring breeze blows up the petals that are about to wither. Facing the soft wind and sunshine, they sprinkle on the eaves of the west corner building, and the hands propped on the city wall are slightly clenched into fists.

The light footsteps stopped, and the woman held a dark yellow crane cloak and draped it over her shoulders. The clouds and fire in the sky were intertwined, and the thousands of rays of light printed on their faces were warm and peaceful.

The servants and court ladies bowed and stood far away, not daring to approach, not daring to approach, and not daring to disturb.

The King of Chu took Xiao Youqing's hand to straighten her clothes, "Today, Prime Minister Shi led the ministers to submit a petition to establish the crown prince based on the foundation of the country." She lowered her head and looked at the hustle and bustle under the tower, "Actually, whether to be the crown prince is already a matter of concern to me. never mind."

The abolished prince is dead, King Chu is the emperor's only heir, and King Cheng who was demoted as a commoner has long been forgotten, even in terms of the eldest son and younger generation, she is still her.

"Being his minister can't be changed, but you can't change being his son either." Xiao Youqing held her other hand, "You are you, he is him, since you can't change it, then be yourself. "

"it is good."

------------------------------------

Lanyue Building in Kaifeng Mansion is still doing a prosperous business, but the mother in the courtyard has changed her previous temper in recent years, and she is no longer harsh on the girls in the courtyard.

"You don't drink the medicine, are you expecting him to take you back to the mansion when you are pregnant with his child? He is the emperor's son-in-law. If he is found out, you don't know how to die."

"Nowadays, the head of the Ouchi family is no longer an official family. If he has no son, he has no heir. If there is no one to set him up, the bastard will still be in the top position? The mother is more expensive than the son."

"Hey, do you still remember what you said back then? The one who walked out of your arms back then will soon become Uncle Guo."

"Don't mention that stunned young man, Liu Siniang cut him off after seeing him drunk once. Every time he came to the moon tower, it was only for Liu Siniang, so what about the oiran, didn't he end up like this."

"Everyone is dead, so don't say such sarcastic remarks. Speaking of which, didn't Si Niang's results wake you up? They are still childhood sweethearts, but the man who became a husband-in-law dared not marry her. Besides, Giving birth to a woman is like passing through the gates of hell..."

"In a few years, I will become a young lady, and it is a great blessing to drink that kind of medicine often to have children."

The older woman sighed, "Take it as a blessing, and see how long this blessing can bless you. It's not that I curse you, women are inferior to their men, not to mention your origin is here, unless The sky changes, the sun comes out from the west.”

"Fifth sister, you said that when the sixth king was still the county king, he often came to Lanyue Tower, and I played a pipa in front of her..."

"Don't dream, who are the six kings?" The woman looked at the Zhengbei Imperial City, "The emperor in the future, the king of his subjects is like the sun in the sky, can you get close to the sun?"

"No, Fifth Sister misunderstood what I mean. When I played the pipa, he just drank quietly and listened to the music. Most people who come to this kind of place are looking for pleasure. If they were ordinary guests, they would have already been attracted to it.. .”

"You are quite confident in yourself."

"I thought he was not good at women and only liked qin music. I didn't expect that the prince who has always been flirtatious can also spread a good story. You said that if the six kings ascended the throne and became an official family, Lanyue Tower would also be able to get a little bit of glory. I won't. ..”

The woman quickly touched her forehead, "Are you seriously ill?"

She opened the woman's hand, "Forget it, don't think too much, just for the future."

"You are unreliable. Once the matter is exposed, he will not have good fruit to eat. You are harming others and yourself."

"He promised it himself. With his family background, even if he is not a son-in-law or an official, he will be thicker than half of the people in the capital."

"Yes, yes, you can take a good rest and stop talking nonsense. I'll go and speak for you at my mother's side."

--------------------------------------

On Renchen in August of the 13th year of Jianping, the Crown Prince was ordered to be established, and he ordered Yousi to draft a book of ceremonies, and the imperial scholar was the envoy of etiquette for the Crown Prince.

That night, six Hanlin scholars were ordered to enter the palace, and the decree was written on the letter, which was carried by the servants and brought into the Imperial Academy. Tongshi Sheren entered the Academy together with the Hanlin bachelor and locked the courtyard. That night, all the Hanlin scholars received the decree Invented words in the academy.

At two o'clock in the five o'clock watch, before dawn, several writers wrote their pens and wrote their books. Looking at the ruler on the water drain, they waited until three o'clock before ordering people to open the courtyard. The servants sent the drafted words to the emperor for reading. .

Not long after the lights were lit in the Chuigong Hall, the people who came out of the Fanying Pavilion propped their heads and felt sleepy, "Your Majesty, the grass sent by the Academy."

King Chu looked at it carefully, Qi Liu handed over the pen, King Chu glanced at the dark sky, "No, send it to Funing for His Majesty to read."

"Yes."

Several servants came out of the Chuigong Hall, carrying lanterns and holding the white hemp drafted by the Imperial Academy, and entered the Funing Hall. One of the servants opened the white hemp document and read the contents to the emperor.

Before reading the booklet, the servant said: "If the official does not respond, it is tacit consent." Immediately, he read out the internal system written in three characters on the white linen paper.

The sleeping emperor was woken up by them again. Listening to the four or six-sentence document, the emperor just looked disgusted at them for disturbing his slumber.

"If the officials don't say anything, they just acquiesce, and use pen and ink."

Two servants came forward and took the emperor's hand and wrote four characters crookedly on the white linen, "write according to the music"

The candles in the Funing Hall were lit for less than a quarter of an hour and then went dark again. The servants carried the lanterns and sent Cao Ma back to the Chui Gong Hall.

"Your Majesty didn't respond at all?"

Qi Liu shook his head, "Your Majesty just turned his face and was not very happy, and even slurred that the villains disturbed his sleep."

The King of Chu looked down at the crooked words, waved his hand and said, "Send it to the Academy for the imperial edict to copy."

"Yes."

"Let the people from Shangfu Bureau prepare His Majesty's uniform in advance."

"Yes."

-------------------------------------

In the Academy of Imperial Academy, several bachelors and ministers stared at the four words, "The official family has been sick for so long, why is the king willing to be the heir apparent until now?"

"How can we know the inside story of the emperor's family affairs? As far as your majesty is concerned, it doesn't matter whether the crown prince does it or not."

"But after all, the prince is a prince, and according to the state system, the prince is also a courtier of the foreign court."

"No, Shi Xiang went to find the princess a few months ago, maybe the princess said something before the king agreed to the ministers to submit the table."

"In my opinion, it is better to please the middle palace than to please the prime minister in the future."

The imperial edict carefully transcribed the white linen book, and first asked Xuanma's supervisor to read it for any unfamiliar characters, so as not to make mistakes when reading it later. After confirming that it was correct, the servant put it in a box and covered it with embroidery submit.

The news of the establishment of a reserve had already been announced to the officials, and by dawn, all civil and military officials, the prime minister, and the privy officials were all dressed in casual clothes and lined up outside the gate of Wende Hall.

The envoy of the door pavilion took out the book and sent it from the gate of the east pavilion to the Wende Hall. When all the officials entered the court, they bowed to the north of the side street inside the hall and said, "Your servant."

The prime minister went out and knelt down and handed it over to Tongshisheren. Tongshisheren bowed his waist and went to the position of Xuanzhi, turned around and faced south, and the two officials stood on the left and right sides of Tongshisheren and held Bai The exhibition of hemp rolls.

Xuanma's Tongshi Sheren sang the whole content loudly, and the Zaizhi and the cultural relics and officials worshiped and danced. After the reading was completed, they delivered the Chinese book and issued the edict, which was signed by all the Zaizhi officials, but only the official titles were signed but not the signature.

Tongjin Zouyuan published the content of the white hemp announcement and sent it to various prefectures and counties. In August Renchen, the crown prince was appointed as the crown prince and the king of Chu was crowned as the crown prince.

Long before the edict was issued, the Ministry of Rites had already prepared the booklets, clothes, crowns, and festivals of the crown prince and concubine used in the canonization ceremony. The Ministry of Rites sent the canonization process to the Chuigong Palace after the Taishi Bureau selected an auspicious day.

The prelude to the Ritual and Music Case of the Ministry of Rites said: "Xiaguan and others read the files overnight, compared with the previous dynasty to draw up the process. County, Shite County, the crown prince is the crown prince and continues to use Simiangong County."

After that, the case of the Ministry of Rites also came forward and said: "Purchase the dresses, Dagon clothes, Yuanyou crowns, and Zhu Ming clothes. Among them, the number of crowns is nine, and the crown prince's clothes have twelve chapters. The sun, moon, and star patterns have not been used... .”

Listening to Yousi nagging the king of Chu to close the booklet with the procedures in his hand, "You have worked hard, all the ministers." He opened his mouth and interrupted the reports of several servants.

"I don't dare to speak bitterly about the affairs of the lower officials."

The King of Chu threw the brochure on the table, "There is nothing wrong with the rest, but the order of the prince concubine has been transferred to the same day as the grand ceremony."

Before a few surprised officials from the Ministry of Rituals opened their mouths to refute King Chu, he said again: "Your Majesty is seriously ill, so how can you attend such ceremonies frequently? Originally, the canonization ceremonies for the crown prince would have been omitted, but Yousi refused to say that it was the ancestral etiquette. "

"But Your Majesty, the law of the ancestors has always been the law of the ancestors... the king and the concubine are deeply in love with each other, and the officials and others know it, but it is really unethical to do so."

The few ministers behind whispered in private, "Isn't this the same as the former Emperor Gaozong's Empress Yaxian?"

"The Xiao family is already extremely honored and favored. His uncle leads the army to guard the northwest, and his younger brother is the transit envoy. Even if the prince accepts the concubine, the official wife worships first. Doing so by the king is tantamount to encouraging the momentum of the relatives."

I guessed that they would say something like this, "If this king follows Zhongzong's words and gives the country to Webster, so what, will the ministers drive this king out, or abolish this king?"

Several ministers knelt down while looking at each other, "I dare not."

"If it wasn't for Mrs. Xiao, this country would have been in chaos long ago. Don't you think that the new king who will be in charge of the government in the future will be a suspicious and innocent lord who is easy to use power and schemes?"

"The minister is terrified."

The King of Chu sat down with his chair on his shoulders, not angry, but said, "What are you afraid of, why don't you change it quickly."

The king of Chu took advantage of the prince's rebellion against the emperor's serious illness and civil strife to firmly grasp the general's power. These civil servants were not as fearless as Chen Yu.

"The next official will go back and renegotiate with them."

Several officials from the Ministry of Rituals breathed a sigh of relief when they came out of the hall, "Your Majesty always had a cold face in the past, but I didn't expect the new Lord to be even worse."

"Then how do you change the consort's canonization process?"

"How can it be changed? Just change Wende Hall into Daqing Hall and the crown prince at the same time."

"Since the opening of the dynasty, the canonization of the Daqing Palace has only been the emperor and the crown prince. Wouldn't this make the two highnesses lose their order and be equal? ​​Wouldn't the Xiao clan go to heaven again as a relative?"

"The king is not the only one who gives weight to foreign relatives, but this move is afraid that there will be another empress Lu. Although Duke Longde and Marquis Wu'an are gone, the Xiao family is not dead. Isn't that Zhang Huai the Xiao family army? Xiao Jiang There are also many officials in the two courts."

"As far as troubled times are concerned, no amount of officials is better than an army."

"You are sighing here because you are worried about the usurpation of the heroine and the reappearance of Empress Wu. The subordinate officials can't help but say something. The king is holding the imperial army in his prime. Can you think that the king can't think of it? I think my colleagues should be serious and less worrying. "

"Let's not talk about the forbidden army, now even the Imperial City Secretary of the official family is in the hands of the king. Maybe the king will know what you said today. Be careful of your heads."

The officials who uttered a few gossips all looked down at the road and stopped talking.

The news that the canonization ceremony of the crown prince was changed to be held at the same time as the canonization of the crown prince quickly reached the ears of several prime ministers, and Chen Yu and a group of scholar-bureaucrats came forward one after another.

Those who did not get a reply led a group of veterans straight into the Chui Gong Palace.

The servant stopped a few purple gold fish talismans, saying: "The king is discussing matters, and the gentlemen can't go in."

"Why didn't your majesty reply to the official's letter?"

"This…"

Chen Yu yelled into the hall: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council envoy, Chen Yu, please see me!"

Not long after, a young official came out of the hall, folded his sleeves and bowed slightly to Chen Yu, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Chen Yu took the wat board and walked in quickly, "The Ministry of Rites consulted the ancient legal system of etiquette. Why did the king let the Ministry of Rites change the process without authorization?"

The King of Chu sat upright disapprovingly, "It's just something more added, as for the Prime Minister and you?"

"Your Majesty favors the Xiao Clan and bestows rewards on his people, so that half of the military power in the world belongs to the Xiao Clan. Does the King want the Empress Wu to reappear?"

In the eyes of these literati and bureaucrats, it is a disgrace to allow women to govern. The King of Chu squeezed the papers on the table into a ball and asked the officials, "Why do you think you are a minister?" When you are about to die, where are you loyal ministers?"

Several ministers blushed instantly, and Chen Yu also pulled his face, "The rules set by Emperor Tai. Zugao at the beginning of the founding of the country..."

The King of Chu slapped the table and stood up, roaring angrily, "Who is ruling the world now?"

Immediately, he sat back because his throat couldn't bear it, and he stretched out his hand to touch his throat, which was full of discomfort.

Qi Liu quickly served the tea, and said to several ministers: "Your Majesty lost his life in Qishan earlier, and he hurt his throat and couldn't cure it. You all know that your Majesty can't speak loudly now. If you are really sympathetic to the loyal king today You shouldn’t have to keep asking.”

"All the ministers always ask how the king should be a king, but have you ever asked yourself how to be a minister?"

At this point, several ministers, including Chen Yu, shut up and knelt down to plead guilty.

-----------------------------

"You didn't tell me in advance if the process changed."

"Today, several ministers objected to this on Zhazi, but I didn't approve any of them."

"They are all veterans, and they are all masters of Confucianism. They will naturally say that you have blatantly violated the etiquette. It's just that you have given all the local military power to Xiao in just a few months..."

"Ah Xi," the king of Chu opened his eyes, only a little bit of starlight outside the house in front of him, "I can't retreat from this position, if one day I fall down because of my status, this country will definitely fall into turmoil again, the former empress What is the result? Even if Zhenguan continued to open the Kaiyuan for the Ming Emperor, I was still forced by those people, so I have to prepare for the worst. I can't guarantee that the people in Sanya will be loyal to me in the end, but you Xiao Your family will definitely protect you."

"I know." Xiao Youqing turned over and touched her face, "I know your intentions are well-intentioned, but as early as the moment I married you, I was ready to die, and the moment I recognized you From then on, I decided to go to life and death together.”

King Chu followed her hand and held it, "I will carefully guard this hard-won peace that belongs to us."

In September, Dingmao held a canonization ceremony in the Daqing Palace. The crown princess was canonized, handed down on the same day as the crown prince, and was also canonized at the same time as the crown prince. The tabloids shocked the city.

The author has something to say: Baima: The title of the document, all the edicts drafted by the Hanlin scholars, Zhizhigao, that is, the internal system, are not issued by the Chinese script but read by the Chinese script.It is generally used to appoint and remove three princes, prime ministers, generals, queens, princes, etc.

It means that the emperor can directly issue orders without the consultation and consent of Zhongshu (not protected by law but will be recognized by ministers)

Many decrees in the Song Dynasty were invalid without legal protection without the signature and seal of the Prime Minister of Zhengshitang and Shenzhi Zhengshi.

The prince also has the canonization ceremony, and the queen and the princess also have it on the day of their wedding (but overall, but women such as princesses are only accepted by the canonization ceremony and not the canonization ceremony, and even the jade certificate only records the surname and does not have the full name. Note: the rules are ok The change depends on the meaning of the emperor. After all, the emperor is the supreme ruler who combines justice, military administration, and economy.)
