Qing Wu Red House

On the sixth day of March in the 11th year of Hongzhen, Emperor Hongzhen, who had reigned for 11 years, passed away at the age of 42.When the news came out, the whole Daqi was shaken. Emperor Hongzhen, who was still in his prime, just fell off the stage of history and became what he once was.

In April of the same year, Prince Qi Tianyou ascended the throne and announced that the name of the country would be changed to Changlong the following year.The crown prince, who was only a few months away, was obviously the youngest emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.Prince Wen's son, Qi Tianrui, was in charge of the funeral of Emperor Hongzhen. When it was busy, a statement suddenly appeared in the court, saying that Emperor Hongzhen did not die because of the poisoning of the previous eldest prince, but because of the new emperor. hands.

Just when everyone was in danger, the new emperor didn't pay attention to the rumors, but simply and neatly carried out some personnel transfers.In addition to the imperial guards, the champion Hou Linhaorui also took over the guard barracks.The Beijing army that went to the capital was handed over to Yang Chengping, a young general of the Yang family.The post of Admiral of the Nine Gates was held by Jia Lian.After some arrangements, everyone could see that the new emperor, who was only 19 years old, had unknowingly supported his strength.

And the mainstays of the original court were also mobilized, and Zhang Hua, a bachelor, was named a grand master and entered the cabinet.Yang Anbang was handed over the position of the Chinese military commander.Although there were frequent changes in the ruling and opposition parties, and there were some small frictions, there were no major problems.The transition from the old to the new generation of monarchs passed smoothly in this way, making everyone re-examine the new emperor.

Daiyu was sitting in the exquisite small building, and was arranging Tianyou's clothes by herself.During this month, Tianyou was very busy. Whether it was the funeral of Emperor Hongzhen or the daily affairs of the country, Tianyou was so busy that he was dizzy.

Ever since it was reported that Emperor Hongzhen had been poisoned, she was released from suspicion, and she had never seen Tianyou since the moment she came out of Changning Palace.Tianyou has been very busy.From meeting princes and ministers to appeasing the queen.From dealing with Emperor Hongzhen's funeral to being familiar with the affairs of the court.

Waking up from dreams many times, Daiyu was a little confused.She didn't know where she was, she didn't know where something went wrong, why Emperor Hong Zhen was poisoned, or in such a chaotic situation.Not to mention the full tide of civil and martial arts, even Daiyu secretly wondered at the beginning whether the poison that was put into the tea without anyone knowing it was the work of Tianyou.But after thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible.

At least according to the current situation, Tianyou is very calm.It's also normal.Whether in the face of a sudden identity change, or in the face of everyone's speculation.During this period, Xiao Anzi sent Daiyu a letter from God.It was just a thin piece of paper that said: "I'm fine, and you should be fine too!"

After Daiyu saw the familiar handwriting, she soon felt relieved.Regarding the previous matter, she couldn't help Tianyou much.All she can do is to make herself better and reassure Tianyou.

Daiyu knew that Tianyou was still adjusting to her identity.Getting used to facing the minister's questions every day, getting used to being shouted long live, getting used to how to govern the country well.Zijuan came in from the outside and took over the work from Daiyu.Said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Han Guifei and Concubine Wu Guifei are here and want to see you!"

Because Tianyou has not decreed to confer the position in the harem yet.Therefore, everyone called Empress Daiyu by default, and kept the original name for Emperor Hongzhen's original wife.Daiyu sighed softly, since Emperor Hong Zhen passed away, Empress Yang had locked herself in Changning Palace.No one is seen.So all the former concubines of Emperor Hongzhen came to look for Daiyu.

"Please go to the Jingyang Palace. I will be there later!" Daiyu's voice was not loud, but compared to the previous days, it had a lot of majesty.Zijuan saluted and withdrew, Xueyan, Erxi and others stepped forward to help Daiyu tidy up her filial piety clothes, and accompanied Daiyu to Jingyang Palace.

After Daiyu entered Jingyang Hall, Concubine Han Guifei and Concubine Wu Guifei both stood up respectfully.They knew that with Tianyou's emphasis on Daiyu and the fact that Daiyu was the only one in Tianyou's backyard, the Queen's position was inevitable.

Daiyu sat down at the main seat, and then said: "Two concubines, sit down, I don't know what to do with Daiyu today!" Concubine Han glanced at Concubine Wu and said, "It's nothing important. I just wanted to see if there's anything I can help you with here."

Daiyu smiled faintly: "Thank you, the two mothers and concubines are thinking about it. Everything here in this palace is fine, and there is no need for anything. If the two mothers and concubines have nothing to do on weekdays, why don't you spend more time with your mother, lest she be too sad!"

Concubine Han sighed: "Yes, we think so too. But the gate of the empress's Changning Palace is closed, and no one can enter except the new emperor!" Daiyu sighed softly, she felt sorry for the empress's sadness In fact, I understand it very well, but I don't know when the empress can get out of this sadness.

Concubine Wu wiped her tears exaggeratedly, and said in a mournful voice: "The empress is also a poor person, God gave the prince to be so young, the emperor died. How can people accept it!"

Concubine Han also wiped her tears from the side: "Yes, the heavenly prince is really pitiful." Then, she looked at Daiyu: "Your Majesty, do you know what the new emperor has for the heavenly prince, the empress is so sad Why don't we sisters help the queen empress to share her worries and bring the heaven-sent prince with her?"

Daiyu glanced at the two noble concubines. In this harem, apart from the queen empress, among the concubines left behind by the previous emperor, only these two have the highest status. Even these two people have begun to plan for the future. And know how panicked the people in the harem are now.

Daiyu snorted softly before she spoke: "The two mothers and concubines don't talk about this, the mother is in grief at this time, and she has to rely on the emperor's younger brother to make her laugh." Concubine Han quickly said: "Yes. , What the empress said is that we are still thinking superficially."

Daiyu smiled lightly: "The two concubines want to help the empress to share their worries, so they should restrain their own palace servants. I am a little tired, so I won't accompany the two concubines any longer. Please go!" The two concubines hurried Get up and send Daiyu out respectfully.

Although the people in the harem panicked, this day had to go on.At the beginning of April in the 11th year of Hongzhen, the coffin of Emperor Hongzhen, who had been alive for 49 days, was finally carried out from the palace and went to the imperial mausoleum for burial.The queen also removed the white curtains and restored the usual splendor.

On the tenth day of April, Tianyou issued the first imperial decree to the harem, enshrining Empress Yang as Empress Dowager Ren Xiao, Concubine Han and Concubine Wu as Concubine Gui.The other concubines of Emperor Hongzhen were promoted to one level and moved to Taichang Palace to live in Taichang Palace to support them for the rest of their lives.

The Empress Dowager Yang still lived in the Changning Palace on the east side of the palace, and Emperor Hongzhen's youngest son, Qi Tianci, was still raised by the Empress Dowager's side and never moved.

On the twelfth day of the fourth lunar month, Tianyou issued the second edict, making Daiyu the empress, and moved out of Changyang Palace to live in Wan'an Palace on the west side of the palace.And Changyang Palace is used as a place to store books, and no one has been allowed to live in it.

That evening.Daiyu finally saw Tianyou again.This was the first time Daiyu saw Tianyou since the first emperor was poisoned for more than two months.When the sound of the emperor's arrival came into Linglong Xiaozhu, Daiyu basically could only be in a daze.

Zijuan touched Daiyu lightly: "Your Majesty, why are you in a daze, go out and meet her!"

Only then did Daiyu regain her senses, just as she was about to walk out of the house, she saw Tianyou's slender figure had already entered the main room.Daiyu stared blankly at Tianyou, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.He looked more upright and handsome.Looking at his somewhat tired expression, for some reason, his eye sockets became hot.

Tianyou quickly took a step forward, opened his arms and hugged Daiyu into his arms, rubbed the short stubble on Daiyu's neck, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yu'er, I miss you so much. It's really nice Think about it!"

Daiyu nestled in Tianyou's arms, tears could not help but slipped down, she held on to Tianyou's robe tightly.Whispering: "Brother Tianyou..." Hearing such a familiar voice, Tianyou called him affectionately, and hugged him even tighter, as if he wanted to crush Daiyu into his own body.

After a while, Tianyou let Daiyu go.He pulled her to sit down at the table.At this time, the maids who had been guarding outside dared to come in to serve tea. After listening to Zijuan and others whispering: "Your Majesty, please drink tea!" Daiyu realized that she didn't seem to be saluting. Want to get up and salute.

There is no reason why Tianyou didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, so he grabbed her and said, "You can get rid of it, how you treated me before, and how you will treat me in the future, I can't stand Yu'er saying "Your Majesty" on the left and "on the other" The Emperor's."

Daiyu laughed, and then relaxed.Tianyou pulled Daiyu and said to Zijuan and the others: "Go down, don't come in without orders!" Zijuan and Xueyan bowed and retreated, Tianyou then took Daiyu to the inner room.

Daiyu followed Tianyou into the inner room with some doubts. Tianyou lay down on the bed very tiredly, and said lazily: "Yu'er lie down with me, I'm really exhausted during this time, I can't even sleep No one can live in peace."

Daiyu looked at Tianyou distressedly, although she felt that it was indecent to lie on the bed in broad daylight, she still put on her clothes and lay beside Tianyou.Tianyou is quite obedient, just laying on the bed with Daiyu in his arms, talking nonchalantly.

What Tianyou said was very haphazard, one moment was the chaos of the court, and the other moment it was the disturbance of the clan.Daiyu listened quietly, and gently patted Tianyou's back with her right hand, as if coaxing a baby.After a while, Tianyou's voice became softer and softer, and he fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

Daiyu smiled lightly, stood up and looked at Tianyou's handsome face, her brother Tianyou was already the king of a country at this time, although this incident did not give Daiyu too much sense of reality until now, but it was true It is indeed what has happened.I don't know how Brother Tianyou feels sitting on the dragon chair, and I don't know whether Brother Tianyou will change because of his high position.

Daiyu stroked Tianyou's eyebrows lightly with her fingers, and said softly: "No matter what, Yu'er will stay with brother Tianyou!" Tianyou seemed to hear Daiyu's voice in his sleep, and a trace of happiness rose from his lips. Smile.

At some point, Daiyu fell asleep beside Tianyou, and when Daiyu woke up again, Tianyou was no longer around her.Zijuan came in lightly, saw Daiyu sitting on the bed in a daze, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Emperor went to Zhaoren Hall and told you to let the Empress sleep for a while!"

Daiyu sighed leisurely: "Already left? When did you leave?" Zijuan sighed softly: "About an hour ago, I heard from Xiao Anzi that the servant girl said that it seems that an urgent military report has been sent from Tianfengbao. Your Majesty Let's deal with it!"

Daiyu nodded, then got up, sat in front of the dressing table, and let Zijuan do her makeup.While wearing a phoenix hairpin for Daiyu, Zijuan said: "Nurse Song sent someone to say that Qin Tianjian has sent an auspicious day for moving the palace, and let the empress choose a day to move there first. Other people live, and those trivial things can be tossed slowly in the future."

Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Have you chosen so soon?"

Zijuan smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor watched it personally, can you be unhappy? When the servants watched the morning meeting of the sixth game today, they were still discussing the matter of the empress moving to the palace. They were very flattering and flattering, for fear that the empress would find you They settled the previous account!"

Daiyu smiled faintly: "Your mouth looks more and more like that girl Qingwen!" Zijuan smiled a little shyly, but immediately remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, your mother, you will be here in a few days." It's Miss Xiang'er's birthday, can you still follow the old rules this year?"

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Yes, it's Xiang'er's birthday. In a blink of an eye, Xiang'er will soon grow into a big girl. Let's follow the old rules. It stands to reason that this year should be richer. But it’s better to be cautious during the national mourning period! Choose something and send it yourself. By the way, take a look at my sister-in-law. She will give birth in less than two months. Mother Zhao can’t leave her body after taking care of her mother. Some stable women who know the basics are by my side!"

Xueyan came in from the outside with fruit, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worrying about her life. Mrs. Yang has already looked for Wen Po several months ago. There is no need for Your Majesty to worry about these things, our uncle has also arranged them." Several of them, I'm afraid they've already lived in the Herb Garden!"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Yes, I don't need to worry about it!" Thinking of her sister-in-law who is about to give birth, Daiyu is actually a little anxious and wants to go out of the palace to have a look, but she also knows that at such a sensitive moment, It is impossible to leave the palace by oneself.

Tianyou seemed to be afraid of Daiyu's wild thoughts, so on the second day after the mighty move of Changyang Palace, he decreed to abolish the six bureau system in the harem, and established the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The Prime Minister's Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was located at the junction of the former court and the rear palace, and the first Prime Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was Zheng Jin who had been with Jia Lian all year round.

Although Daiyu was a little dizzy about the thousands of responsibilities of the House of Internal Affairs, she was still very happy to see the wife of Prime Minister Zheng Jin in the palace.Zijuan and Xueyan also knew what Daiyu was thinking, and specially invited Yingchun to the small flower hall in the upper room, instead of in the main hall where Daiyu usually discusses affairs.
