[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

As soon as the queen fell, the concubines with the prince were immediately moved.Gege Party#小@ said that they are not only for their own future and power, but also for the future of their son.After all, the Great Jin Dynasty has regulations in this regard, and it does not use the set of competition for posts, but adopts the principle of having a descendant and not a descendant.

Even the current emperor, if the Supreme Emperor hadn't established his adoptive mother as a queen first and then held a renunciation ceremony later, it is impossible for the current emperor to surpass the previous elder brothers to become emperor.

But for today's Zhu Guiren, Concubine Wu Xian, Concubine Zhou De, Concubine Zhao Jing, etc., once they themselves become queens, their sons will be the sons of the current emperor. Two generations!

No one could resist such a huge temptation, even Zhu Gui, who had been used to being upright for a long time, was moved.

Because it was still in the funeral of the empress, all the female relatives went to the palace to cry, and there was an inherent process for this.The wives have a place where the wives cry, and the concubines in the harem also have rooms where they cry.As the No.1 in the current harem, Mrs. Zhu naturally knelt down first among all the concubines, and the emperor would come over regularly every day to pay a memorial service.

On this day, at the moment when the emperor was about to enter the palace, a very exaggerated cry suddenly came from among the concubines: "Mother, why did you leave? Why didn't you take me with you? "

The voice was so loud that all the concubines, including Mrs. Zhu who was kneeling at the front, couldn't help shaking.

I saw that person was completely white, with black hair like a cloud, even though he was wearing a filial bun, he gave off a weak posture, very much like a nobleman from Zhu.However, compared to today's nobleman Zhu, this person is younger, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and his whole body is full of youthful breath. If it's not the queen's niece Meng Baolin who just entered the palace not long ago, who is it?

I saw Meng Baolin rushing to the queen's coffin and crying loudly: "My lady! My lady! You, why did you leave? Leave me alone..."

Before the words fell, the emperor heard the cold voice: "Since Meng Baolin can't leave the queen so much, let's die for the queen."

No one in the palace knew that this Meng Baolin was forced by the Meng family to take the queen into the palace with affection and family reputation.The emperor knew very well how strong his first wife was, and he also knew how uncomfortable the empress was because she was from her natal family, so he suppressed her.

If it was someone else, the emperor would at most ask people to drag her down, but if it were Meng Baolin, the emperor only wanted this woman to be buried with the empress!

Lonely?You forced your way into this imperial palace at the heart of the queen and your own aunt. Since you have chosen this path, then accept it. If you don't like it, then go down to accompany the queen!

Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to stand up, bow to the emperor, and then said: "Long live, Meng Baolin is young and ignorant, so it is good to be educated. She is the niece of the mother's family after all, not to mention that the ancestors abandoned it when the country was founded. The system of sacrificial burial, even if Meng Baolin was buried in accordance with the rules of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that the empress will be sad if she finds out."

The emperor frowned and said after a while: "Forget it, Meng Baolin is grounded. She doesn't have to participate in the empress's big ceremony."

After the emperor finished his explanation, he offered incense to the queen according to the etiquette.

Naturally, the low-ranking concubines couldn't tell, but anyone who knew the emperor well could tell that the emperor was really sad, that's why the emperor stayed in front of the empress for a quarter of an hour.

Seeing the emperor standing in front of the coffin holding incense, nobleman Zhu felt tense.

The emperor is a man of propriety, no matter how much he loves Mrs. Zhu, even if only Mrs. Zhu has given birth to children in the harem since ten years ago. It is different after all.

And this difference has nothing to do with love, just because the queen is the emperor's wife!

At that moment, a thought came to Zhu Guiren's mind:

I want to be queen.

Not only noble Zhu, but all the other concubines, especially those with children, all think so.

Therefore, on the third day when the queen's coffin was sent to Zi Palace to wait for her future burial with the emperor, some people impeached Concubine Wu Xianfei's natal family for being domineering and tyrannical, forcing the common people to death and seizing fertile fields, and even slavery and murder forcibly taking the daughters of the people as slaves. Slavery and many other crimes.

The impeachment of the Wu family was just the beginning. Soon, those who impeached Concubine Zhou De and the Zhou family, and those who impeached Concubine Zhao Jing and the Zhao family were sent to the cabinet, followed by the Zhu family and the Jia family.

It was as if all the officials in the ruling and opposition parties were transformed into censors at once.The left and right prime ministers at the top can still stand still, but the deputy prime ministers below, that is, the six ministers, are all involved, even the Privy Council, which is in charge of military power and is responsible for the mobilization of troops and horses across the country.

For this reason, the emperor had to make a special room in the Palace of Qinzheng to put those memorials aside.

These memorials seem to impeach relatives, but who knows that the purpose of these people is to be the queen?

At the beginning, the emperor didn't want to pay attention to it, but the Supreme Emperor called him to question him, so the emperor was unavoidably upset. Therefore, after the day you hour passed, the right prime minister Liang Erming went out of the palace and went home, while the left prime minister Qi Qian stayed in the cabinet as a value.The emperor said: "What do you think of these memorials?"

Qi Qian smiled and said, "Long live, are you asking me?"

It is true that the prime minister is the emperor's staff, but the prime minister is not an ordinary official.Some things have different meanings when they come out from the mouth of the prime minister and from the mouths of civil and military officials.

The emperor said: "I want to hear the opinion of the prime minister."

The impeachment has lasted for more than two months. Seeing that the new year is approaching, the Supreme Emperor intervened again.If there is no Taishanghuang, the emperor will definitely wait until the queen's anniversary to pay attention.But the Supreme Emperor has already intervened, even if the emperor wants to delay it, he can't.

Qi Qian smiled and said: "Long live, I think, not only the outer court, but also the palace is full of turmoil."

It's not just waves and waves, it's like swords and blood, those concubines, sisters and sisters are friendly on the surface, but who doesn't want you to eat me and I eat you behind the scenes?

It's not that the emperor didn't know the tricks of these women who were locked in the harem, but he was the king of a country, and he entered the harem just to broadcast the thoughts of those women and didn't want to guess, so he just pretended not to know.It's just that those women are getting more and more arrogant. Mrs. Zhu has no right to act as the agent of the Six Palaces, and her soft temper can't suppress those concubines. The emperor himself doesn't want to waste time on these concubines, so during this period, the emperor is resting on his diligence Inside the warm pavilion of the hall.

Anyway, a man from an ordinary family has to mourn for his wife for one year after he is widowed. Even if the emperor does not enter the harem, the officials can only say that the emperor has a deep relationship with the empress Yuan. To persuade the emperor to visit the harem?Those who would persuade the emperor to visit the harem at this juncture mostly wanted to see from the emperor's words and deeds which concubine the emperor liked and wanted to bet.

Prime Minister Zuo would say this, firstly because he has the emperor's trust, and secondly, he never does these things.In the last few years of the Supreme Emperor's reign, he held the belief of being a pure minister. Not to mention the very popular King Zhongshun, even the old Prince Yizhong who was the heir apparent failed to win him over.

Because of Qi Qian's character and behavior, the emperor relied on him very much.

The emperor said: "Then, do I need the advice of the prime minister?"

Qi Qian said casually: "Since Wansui needs the opinions of my ministers, I can only say that Wansui depends on who is most beneficial to the country."

It's useless to say this.

The establishment of a queen must be the one that is beneficial to the country.

However, this sentence has a lot of meaning if you study it carefully. Among other things, the current emperor's situation is special. In fact, which king of each dynasty does not taboo relatives?In the Han Dynasty, which was not so particular, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted the Wei family, didn't he just want to suppress the descendants headed by Empress Chen?Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed his prince who had been standing for 30 years and forced Wei Zifu to death. Wasn't it because the power of the Wei family was too powerful and threatened the great Han Guozuo?

Although Zhu Guiren has been held in the palm of the emperor for many years, from the emperor's point of view, he really doesn't think it is a good thing to make Zhu Guiren a queen.It's really Zhu Guiren's second elder brother who is too rebellious. The emperor doesn't think that Zhu Guiren's temperament can suppress Zhu Mingcheng, the general who leads the army outside.

As for Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Zhou De, it is not the emperor. Whether it is the second prince of Concubine Wu Xian or the fourth prince of Concubine Zhou De, they are all raised according to the clan.

After all, the emperor at that time didn't think that he had the opportunity to ascend to the supreme position at that time. Even he himself had to look at his brother's face and be careful about the precautions of his brother who would become emperor in the future.Therefore, he himself is working hard for the virtuous king, but his son does not need it.

It has to be said that from this point of view, the current emperor's education of his two sons is successful. Whether it is the second prince or the fourth prince, from the perspective of idle clansmen, they are indeed very qualified.However, as a prince, or even a king, that's not enough.It's just that these two princes have already grown up, so it's not easy to separate them?Not to mention the two princes and concubines, their natal families are not so prominent, and they are not so virtuous and talented. Thinking of going further, but the two princes didn't intend to restrain their wives and Yue's family.

Of course, the emperor is not satisfied with such second and fourth princes.

What Qi Qian said was the same as what Bai said, but it helped the emperor make up his mind.

Soon, after Laba, the emperor called all the cabinet ministers together and explained his meaning.

Several ministers were not dissatisfied.

Among other things, they are all people who have gone through the dark period when the kings seized the throne in the late period of the Supreme Emperor's reign. They know how terrible the situation will become if it continues to drag on, and they will also be pushed by the situation. Do not choose to stand in line.This is fine now, if the new queen has a son, they can directly support the new queen's son, if the new queen has no children for a long time-it will be more than ten years later.At that time, the emperor will naturally make a choice, and there is no need for them to fight with their wealth and lives.

A matter that is obviously very serious, and it would have taken a few years for the Supreme Emperor to come to a conclusion, but it is actually decided in this way by the current emperor.

Not to mention the disappointed Concubine Wu Xianfei and Concubine Zhou De, that is, Zhu Guiren, after receiving the news, he sat under the window for a long time, and finally said quietly:

"Long live is unwilling to see me enter the palace after all."
