After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

If it is said that at the beginning, because of Jia Jing's young age, the prince still had doubts about Jia Jing's suggestions.

Over the past few days, the subtle changes in how the eunuchs in the East Palace served him, and the expected reactions of the sages and princes, made the prince start to believe in Jia Jing.

The prince still made a little repentance in his heart: Qin Youganluo worshiped at the age of 12, Han Dynasty Kong Rong made pears at the age of eight, and Tang Youluo Bin Wang wrote poems at the age of seven.Wu Gu claims to be familiar with poetry and books, but still commits the fallacy of judging people by their appearance, it really shouldn't be!

From then on, the crown prince treated Jia Jing more closely, and asked his opinion on many things.

And Jia Jing did not disappoint the prince's trust, and slowly pulled the hearts of Zhan Shifu and other officials of the Eastern Palace over for the prince in advance.

Although Jia Jing knew that after a few years, these East Palace officials would have to serve the prince after they had figured out the mind of the sage, but it would be better if it could be done sooner, so as to alleviate the prince's embarrassment that no one could use him.

Furthermore, although they all serve the prince, being forced by a sage to serve him is the same as being subdued by the prince's charisma and voluntarily serving him?

At least the latter will have less resentment, and when these people act, they will also take the prince's interests into consideration.

Spring and autumn come, and time flies.

Before you know it, the year is coming to an end.

In the twelfth lunar month, the court was about to seal the pen, and the sage rushed to the front of the seal, and took the prince to write many "blessings" characters, and distributed them to the families of important ministers and nobles.

When the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia were still in their prime, they naturally got both. Jia Jing also got an extra set from the crown prince.

Giving "blessings" to all officials was initiated during the time of Taizu.

At that time, the country was newly established, and both the treasury and the inner daughter were shy and empty.

But for the Chinese New Year, all civil and military officials have worked hard for a year. If the emperor didn't say anything, all the officials would understand, and Taizu himself would feel embarrassed.

Later, it was Empress Yuan who gave Tai_zu the idea, which was to ask Tai_zu to write the word "Fu" by hand, and distribute it with simple gold and silver.

Although Taizu's calligraphy is not very good, but it is the emperor's own handwriting after all, and the intentions in it are by no means comparable to gold, silver and jewelry, which makes all senses deeply moved.

Therefore, giving "blessings" during the New Year has become a reserved item for the royal family, and it has simply been established as a rule since the time of Emperor Taizong.

In other words, it is nothing new for a saint to come here every year.

The reason for mentioning this specifically is because this is the first time that the sage wrote with the prince.

Although, the prince himself knows that the reason why the saint is like this is because the prince has suffered a lot of "grievances" in the past six months, and his loving father's heart broke out for a while, so he can make up for it.

But others don't know.

Both the emperor and the prince are political figures in themselves, and their every move will be interpreted into various political meanings.

This time, it is no exception.

The third prince is very upset, everyone is the son of the father, even if the prince's mother is the queen, it can't be like this?

He paced back and forth irritably, and when he turned his head, he saw his mother-in-law Concubine Duan Guifei leaning lazily on her head, leisurely blowing on the tea leaves floating in the blue and white twig cover bowl, her red lips slightly parted, and gently pursed her lips. Take a sip of good Pu-erh tea.

"Mother, why are you not angry at all?" The third prince was puzzled.

His mother Duan Guifei entered the palace with the Yuan Empress, and even the Yuan Empress' family background was not as good as that of Duan Guifei.

But after the Yuan Dynasty, she became a queen, but his mother only made a concubine.

This imperial concubine was only promoted after his mother gave birth to three children.

But among the three children, he was the only one left in the end.

"Why are you so angry?" Concubine Duan Gui glanced at her son and shook her head secretly: she is still too young.

The third prince said angrily: "Why should their mother and son take advantage of all the good things? Father is too partial."

"Speak carefully!" Concubine Duan immediately turned cold, "Your Majesty's thoughts, how can you speculate at will?"

Her sharp eyes swept over the maids standing in the hall, and all the maids couldn't help but bury their heads lower, trying to minimize their sense of existence.

Concubine Duan nodded in satisfaction, and said to her son: "You should think less about what you don't have, and learn more from your second brother."

"He?" The third prince sneered, disapproving, "It's just a nerd, what should I learn from him?"

Looking at her son who was arrogant and ignored by anyone, Concubine Duan sighed secretly, and said, "Go back and see your wife, I'm fine here."

She knew that she could no longer persuade her son.

And the third prince happened to have something to do, so he took advantage of the opportunity to resign, thinking that before the Chinese New Year, he would get together with those students again.

Those students are all talented, although they are not obvious now, but in the spring of the next year, they will definitely be on the list.

In the future, if the father...he would have someone to help him in the court, so as not to be restrained by others.

The third prince left excitedly, but he didn't see that behind him, Concubine Duan Gui followed him with worried eyes until she was completely invisible.

Concubine Duan Gui sighed deeply: "What a crime!"

Auntie Zhang, the aunt in charge, quickly refilled her tea, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Your Highness is just young and energetic. When you get older, you will naturally understand."

Duan Guifei said: "I hope so, I'm afraid he won't understand."

Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "Isn't your mother also young and energetic back then? These years, don't you also understand?"

Hearing this, Concubine Duan Gui laughed: "Auntie said that this palace was back then..." She smiled and shook her head.

Back then, she entered the palace with Zhang's daughter.

The Zhang family is a civil servant, but the Duan family is a noble, and they are cousins ​​with Qi Guogong's Chen family.

In terms of background, the daughter of the Zhang family can't catch up with her even if they flatter her. Almost everyone believes that she will be the queen of Da Xia.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Zhang's daughter became the main palace, but she was born noble, but she was subordinated to others and became a concubine.

For a while, she naturally couldn't accept this gap.

Later, her mother went to the palace to persuade her: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. For a family like us, the honor and disgrace are all tied to the king. Now that you have entered the palace, it is serious to serve the emperor. Don't think about those who have nothing. gone."

But at that time, how could she listen to it?

Later, the aunt who married into Duke Qi's mansion also came to persuade her, but what she said was in line with her heart: "The things in this world are the most uncertain. The days are still long, and who knows, which part of the sky Will it rain in the clouds?"

Yes, the days are still long, so what if Mrs. Zhang won the post?If you sit on it, you may not be able to sit steadily, and if you sit firmly, you may not be able to sit for a lifetime!

Later, she competed everywhere in the palace, competing for clothes, jewelry, and the saint's favor. She became pregnant before the queen and gave birth to the saint's first child.

It was a daughter, fragrant and soft, well-behaved and cute.

The saint said that when she grows up, she will be as beautiful as her mother.

With such warmth, she thought that she had entered the heart of a saint.

She thought: so what if your Mrs. Zhang gets the post?Your Majesty's heart, isn't it with me?

At that time, what she hated the most was that Mrs. Zhang didn't fight or grab her, and everyone would just laugh it off indifferently when she did anything.

Everyone is a woman, who doesn't know who?What to wear?

But later, her daughter died, and the sage was only sad for a few days before looking for other beauties.

From that time on, she gradually understood why Empress Zhang was always concerned about concubines and concubines.

He's not pretending, it's just that he understood it earlier than she did.

In the heart of a sage, he is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he should be an example for the world, and his wife and concubines are also one of them.

The reason why he chose Mrs. Zhang as the queen was because she felt that Mrs. Zhang's personality made her a better wife.

Therefore, neither the dignified and virtuous Empress Zhang nor the bright and charming Concubine Duan could stop waves of beauties pouring into the harem.

Later, she and Queen Zhang each gave birth to another prince, but neither of them kept it, and the saint is still beauties.

She can also hide in the palace for several months without going out, crying alone.

But Queen Zhang had to support the director after the confinement period.

Empress Zhang's body was broken at that time, so that she had difficulty in childbirth when she gave birth to the prince, and her vitality was seriously injured. When the prince was just half a year old, she passed away.

Concubine Duan Gui once thought that she would be very happy when Empress Zhang died and her old enemy died.

But when things came to an end, she just felt that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

When the crown prince was less than one year old, Concubine Rong gave birth to the second prince and became Concubine Rong.

When the prince was three years old, she gave birth to the third prince and became a noble concubine.

The saint has never stood up again.

The luck of Empress Zhang is that she died in her best years and entered the heart of the sage in one fell swoop, making him unforgettable.

But so what?

To die is to die. No matter how unforgettable a saint is, all he can give is mourning after death.

Many things can only be used by living people.

Ever since she had the third prince, Concubine Duan Gui devoted all her attention to her son, and her desire for favor completely faded away.

But that's the case, she raised the third prince too much, and developed his arrogant personality, thinking only about herself in everything she did.

Concubine Duan Gui has accompanied the saint for many years, and she can see it clearly than others.

She knew that the sage loved every son, but because of the Empress Yuan and his birth, he doted on the prince even more.

As long as the rest of the princes live in peace, the sage will naturally arrange for the rest of their lives to ensure that each of them lives comfortably.

But her son couldn't see clearly!

All she wanted was for her son to grow up safely, to have a full house of children and grandchildren, not to stand out, not to fight for power.

Because the saint will never allow the prince below to go beyond the crown prince.

But the son couldn't help his mother, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, if her son wouldn't listen, what could she do?

I just hope that the saint will have a little more fatherly heart, and don't kill them all.
