female concubine

Since the incident of the actor at the imperial banquet, no one in the imperial court felt sorry for the death of Jiang Luochuan, the former censor. The incident spread from the ban, and the original remarks that accused the emperor of violating the ancestral precepts and bestowing death officials gradually dissipated.

——Dutang——

The prime minister took a small folk newspaper and sighed: "In terms of the art of controlling people's hearts, only the Holy One is the most brilliant."

"People who say they don't care about fame are often the ones who care the most."

There is a record in "Tokyo Miscellaneous Notes" in the later years of Emperor Qianyuan: Since the year of the Mandate of Heaven, the emperor became more suspicious, acted erratically, was moody, and often blamed his ministers. There were dozens of people, including the prime minister.

After his birthday in the 27th year of Qianyuan, the emperor suffered from a serious illness. After being ill, he was bedridden for more than ten days, and he recovered in mid-September.

In the spring of the 28th year of Qianyuan, when the emperor was meeting with ministers in the Chuigong Hall, his old illness relapsed, and he was unconscious for three days, causing the government and the public to panic.

——Kunning Hall——

The Empress Dowager visited the Palace of Kunning successively with the chief princesses of the various clans and the crown princes and concubines, and then left behind the most favored eldest daughter, Princess Yiguo, and the eldest grandson, Princess Le'an.

Princess Le'an prostrated herself on the bedside and watched the emperor who had aged over ten years overnight, crying bitterly, "Weng Weng will definitely get better."

The emperor raised his hand and touched her head, "In two years, Chen'er will be old."

The little girl cried and nodded repeatedly, "Weng Weng will also attend Chen'er's funeral ceremony at that time."

"it is good."

Princess Yiguo walked into the bedroom holding a bunch of crabapple stuck in the gallbladder, "Daddy, the crabapple in the hidden mansion is blooming."

Only in February did the begonias in front of Funing Hall grow small buds. The emperor opened his lifeless eyes, "Sure enough, the begonias in Qiandi are the most beautiful."

Xiao Youqing personally walked into the pavilion with the decoction brought by Zhangyao. In the past few years, the emperor's illness has repeatedly caused her face to face the nervousness and worry that she had before.

Xiao Youqing gently put down the medicine bowl, "You are not in good health, and Da Lang is not in good health either. Both of you father and son are not reassuring."

Then Princess Yiguo pulled Princess Le'an out of the dormitory, Xiao Youqing helped the emperor to sit up, scooped up a spoonful of decoction and cooled it down before carefully feeding it to the emperor.

"Thanks a lot."

"I've been here with you for 30 years of wind and rain, so why not talk about hard work?" Xiao Youqing looked at the haggard emperor with gray hair all over his head.

After the decoction bottomed out, the emperor leaned on the pillow and panted lightly, "Is Doctor Sun still there?"

Xiao Youqing suppressed tears and nodded, "Waiting in the hall."

"I have something I want to ask him alone."

Xiao Youqing hesitated for a while, then turned sideways to twist the quilt on her body.

Soon after the emperor woke up, everyone in the hall was separated and summoned Sun Hongda, the medical officer of the Imperial Academy.

The scarlet-robed official who entered had grizzled hair and a ruddy complexion, not like an old man who had passed 70 years old.

"Chen Hanlin medical officer sent Sun Hongda to kowtow to His Majesty, and wish His Majesty all blessings."

The emperor turned his head and waved at him.

"Your Majesty." Sun Hongda walked to the emperor's bed and bowed.

"Uncle Sun, tell me the truth, how many years can I last?"

After hearing this, Sun Hongda knelt down in shock, "Your Majesty is so blessed..."

"You don't need to say such words to comfort me, I know my body best."

"If Your Majesty is willing to listen to your minister's advice and take good care of yourself, then you can still have it," Sun Hongda kowtowed heavily, "Three years."

The emperor lowered his hands, "Three years?" Then he smiled helplessly, "It's enough."

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

In the spring of the 28th year of Qianyuan, the emperor fell ill and recuperated in the Funing Hall. Officials were demoted from Beijing, including a high minister. The emperor investigated the crime of dereliction of duty of the minister of Taichang Temple on his birthday in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year and relegated him out of the customs. Panic again.

——Inner East Gate——

Prime Minister Wang Wenfu knelt outside the door, "Since the government re-government, more than ten high-ranking officials have been demoted. This will only cause the courtiers to panic, and many courtiers doubt the government's body... "Wang Wenfu knelt down with the wat board in his hand and said, "I also ask Her Royal Highness to dissuade you."

After the letter to the emperor was fruitless, Wang Wenfu went to the empress, and Xiao Youqing raised his eyebrows with the memorial table: "The official is in poor health, but he can still distinguish things clearly."

"Your Highness, if things go on like this, it will lead to instability of people's hearts, and the prosperous world established by the officials...Now all the officials have tried to persuade them, but only His Royal Highness the Queen..."

"I don't want to!" Xiao Youqing refused.

"Will this situation be what the officials would like to see when they are sober in their prime?"

Xiao Youqing turned around, "Anyone will be capricious. I have always restrained myself as a queen, how to be a queen, how to be the mother of the world, but now I just want to be her wife, as for what will happen in the future ..." Xiao Youqing clasped his hands in front of his stomach, "Then wait until later

Let's go. ”

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

After Taichangqing was demoted from Beijing, the position of Taiqing was taken by Shaoqing, and the second female official appeared in the list of Jiuqing. In the winter of the 28th year of Qianyuan, the East Palace sent good news after seven years. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rituals are preparing for the winter solstice sacrifices. In addition to offering sacrifices to Taimiao, they also added sacrifices to heaven.

——Eastern Palace——

"His Royal Highness's current body..." The imperial physician looked at the Crown Princess hesitantly.

"I know my health, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been unwilling to accept Liang Di. The previous few pregnancies were not stable, the situation in the court was tense, and the official family's health is getting worse. If the East Palace can add new ones to the country and the family, wouldn't it be a blessing?" This is a happy event, the relationship between the official family and His Highness the Crown Prince has always been lukewarm, if a grandson is born, it may be able to help His Highness the Crown Prince."

The imperial physician immediately knelt down after hearing the words of the Crown Princess, "Your Highness is benevolent, and I will do my best to keep your Highness, mother and child safe."

——Dutang——

"The officials want to make Empress Ya Xian?" She Zhanghou, the right servant of Shangshu, stood up from his seat when he heard the news, "Zhang Shangshu, this matter is not trivial, are you sure this is what the officials mean?"

Minister of the Ministry of Rites nodded repeatedly, "The process has been finalized. The officials, Taichangqing and Guangluqing are all in the Chuigong Hall. This is the order of the officials themselves."

"Since ancient times, the sacrifices to heaven and sub-offering have been borne by the ministers, but the former Emperor Gaozong asked Wu's sub-offering at Mount Tai's Fengchan, and finally came up with a heroine... Are the officials confused?"

The winter solstice sacrifice made the Empress Yaxian spread quickly in the court, and even though a large number of civil servants wrote to oppose it, including female officials, the emperor dismissed all the objectors in a rage, and even the officials were dismissed as a result. With the support of Liu Miaoyi, a Hanlin scholar, and a group of female officials, the matter of Queen Yaxian went on as usual.

The winter solstice sacrifice has been set, and almost all the nine temples and five prisons have things to do, but the Taiwan remonstrance is the most leisurely, and the officials gather together, "The crown prince has been established, but the officials let the queen first offer the second offering and let the prince of a country finally offer it. What's the point of this?"

"Didn't the former emperor Taishan enshrine the Zen and let the empress and concubine Ya Xian and the final consecration, and finally there was an eternal emperor?"

"What is an emperor through the ages? She is just a sinner of the Li family. She was favored by the emperor and turned down to kill the children of her clan, even her own flesh and blood. How cruel?"

——Changing Arch Hall——

Although some ministers were repeatedly dismissed due to persuasion, as long as the sacrificial offerings did not arrive, the persuasion never stopped. The old and new ministers knelt outside the Chuigong Hall at the same time, "Longtuge attendant system asks the officials to give me a favor! "

Qi Liu stood at the gate of the hall with his hands raised,

There were requests from the ministers all the time, and finally he got impatient and walked down the stairs, "Please come back, gentlemen, the officials will not see you."

"Are the officials doing this to imitate the former emperor? Have the officials forgotten how the Li family was persecuted after the heroine came to power?"

Qi Liu frowned, "How can the officials not know, but how can the ministers know what has not happened? Before the sacrificial ceremony begins, you are speculating that Her Highness the Queen will definitely become the next heroine in the future?" , Her Highness the Empress is also a ruler, so as ministers, what is your intention of framing the monarch, and what is your intention?"

Seeing that the ministers didn't answer, "It's just a sacrifice to heaven. The mistress in the inner house can preside over the family temple sacrifices. The officials only want to go to the altar with their own wives. Why do you have to stop it?"

"This is the law of etiquette. The official family is the king of a country. How can such state affairs be mixed up with private affairs and follow the example. If all kings act according to their own will, then there are still kingly laws and rules in this world?"

Qi Liu stared at him helplessly and sighed, "Then you should continue to kneel." Then he turned and stepped up the steps and muttered: "Anyway, the official is not here."

——Kunning Hall——

"Cough! Cough!"

Xiao Youqing sat beside the emperor and raised her hand to caress her back, "Is it better?"

The emperor nodded, and Xiao Youqing picked up the soup on the side and fed it spoon by spoon, "Your body is getting better, the wind on the altar..."

The emperor held Xiao Youqing's hand, reached out to take the medicine bowl, and suffocated the remaining soup in one gulp, "From now on, the queen will not interfere with everything I do."

The emperor's words aroused Xiao Youqing's displeasure, and he immediately pulled his hands away and stood up and said, "Are you stunned by an illness?"

The emperor raised his head, "I have always been awake."

Xiao Youqing turned around and said angrily: "If you die, I will not guard the country for you."

The emperor got up and walked past him, "I transferred the ministers out of Beijing because I was afraid that the crown prince would not be able to frighten him. Now he has Zhao Luting, his father and daughter, and the Jingyan lecturer Liu, so I have nothing to worry about."

After the emperor left, the door was empty, so Xiao Youqing sat down slumped down, opening his sad eyes, "Do you think you can still fool me now after 30 years together?"

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

From the beginning of winter in October, in front of Xuande Building, the supervisor of Taipu Temple Elephant Breeding Center came from Yujin Garden outside Nanxun Gate to train elephants and carriages, and five carriages pulled by four horses drove in the imperial palace On the road, each car is tied with two flags, with one in the middle

There are seven elephants in front of the car, the front one walks in the middle, and the other six are divided into three on the left and right. The soldiers of the elephants ride on the back of the elephants with their feet wrapped and their heads covered with purple shirts. When they reach the Xuande Gate, the soldiers The elephants were driven in circles in front of the gate, and then lined up in a row. The soldiers guided the elephants to kneel down and salute towards the Xuande Tower in the north.

The Wensi Yuan under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu Supervisor began to manufacture jade, ritual objects, and clothing. The Silk Brocade Yuan, the Dongxi Dyeing Yuan, the Tailoring Yuan and the Tattoo Embroidery Yuan began to prepare for the tailoring of Daqiu and other sacrificial dresses and Yiluan at the beginning of the year. Office objects, embroidered clothing, and ritual objects were used for the emperor's sacrifices, and in early winter, he was ordered to make queens' sacrifice objects.

The author has something to say: Two books are in advance, one is Song and the other is Shengtang, and I haven't decided which one to release yet.

The words of the Tang Dynasty may involve Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping (cp) who have had a messy private life in history. As for CP, the author guessed it from the epitaph, because Shangguan's epitaph did not say who is who. She wrote it for her (presumably Princess Taiping). Shangguan’s final rehabilitation is also speculated to be done by Princess Taiping, because Shangguan Wan’er’s tomb is buried in Taiping’s family tomb. There is only one year difference between the two, one is a daughter and the other is a confidant , the two of them are the most favored, and the time of contact is sure to be long, and they grow up together.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, it was Empress Wu who wanted to help her get rid of her humble status. At that time, Emperor Gaozong was too sick to handle the government affairs. During Emperor Zhongzong's reign, she was granted the title of concubine. But oh, Shangguan Wan'er has a house outside the palace, and she lives in her own house Instead of living in the harem like the concubine.

As for Shangguan and Empress Wu, the age difference is too big, and Shangguan deserves credit for the restoration, and Shangguan Waner's power reached its peak during Zhongzong's time, but it is true that Empress Wu dotes on her, helping her out of low status and giving her power , and then the operation of 2333 may be due to the environment at that time or other reasons.

The reason why Li Longji killed her was probably thinking that he would fight with Taiping in the later stage, and deal with one first. He hated women in power (so as a woman, no matter what Tang Minghuang's achievements are, I don't like it anyway, and I feel sad for Yang Yuhuan)

There are a few passages in the epitaph, which say that Taiping sent people to mourn Shangguan Wan'er, and then he looked very, very sad.

Non-archaeologists and professional historians, so I can't guarantee 100% correctness. (desire to survive)
