Chapter 140: Canonization, Coming to Power (1st Update)
Providence is getting colder, and Emperor Tong and Concubine Tong have also followed the Empress Dowager's decree, and often summons the four concubines to Jingren Palace to familiarize the four concubines with palace affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, what the four of Zhao Yan are familiar with is just some skin.
Zhao Yan knew in her heart that Tong Jia's family was not willing to hand over the palace affairs at all, so how could they really teach them?
Therefore, in the days before the canonization, Zhao Yan really didn't learn anything useful.
In such a boring time, I finally waited for the auspicious day of canonization. Prior to this, Concubine Wen Niu Hulu had already walked the canonization ceremony first, and it was the fourth concubine who was going to be canonized today.
The twentieth month of the twentieth year of Kangxi, the auspicious day of the zodiac.
On this day, she, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Rong all put on concubine-grade court clothes and rushed to the Baohe Hall to officially perform the canonization ceremony.
Ordered the scholar Li Fei to hold the festival into the Na Lashi as the concubine Hui, the scholar Wu Zhengzhi to hold the festival into the Feng Guo Luo Luo clan as the concubine Yi, the waiter Yang Zhengzhong to hold the festival into the Feng Ma Jia clan as the Rong concubine, and the squire Xingge to hold the festival into the Feng Guarjia Zhaoyan as the concubine.
The text of the book says: I only govern the Qi family and the celebration of the six palaces of Maoyan. The sage of the four virtues should be prepared. Gong Gong has a long-term effect on the boudoir. Ascending order with light to silk. Counselor's concubine Guarga's clan. Roujia Cheng. Shu Shen bowed. The sum of the harmonious and admirable, and the courtesy. Respect the festival of the night, slack off in diligence. I hereby accept the Empress Dowager's mercy, seal the seal, and enter the seal as a concubine. Erqi is only promoted to rank and vice elephant clothes. Mao praises Kunyi, and the party of Hongxu is to. Greatly.
- Actually, the text of the four people is the same, but the names in it are different.
The four of them are also dressed exactly the same, wearing a two-layer Chengjin phoenix Xun mink crown, wearing a robe embroidered with Wanfu Wanshou Eight Treasures Pingshui Lilong, wearing three plates of pearls around their necks, two strings of coral pearls crossed with two belts, and a string of Mipo pearls - Zhao Yan remembered that it was the opposite when she was a concubine in the past, it was Mipo Chaozhu 2 and Coral Chaozhu 1.
Well, it's a little heavier than before anyway - especially the weight of the crown.
Wearing such a heavy court dress, listening to the book of kneeling in the Baohe Palace, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, and then taking the golden book and golden seal of the concubine, and then kowtowing to thank him, this can officially receive the decree. It's a courtesy.
However, after the ceremony, it is still necessary to kowtow to the Empress Dowager to thank the Empress Dowager - because there is a sentence in the text of the book, "I hereby respect the Empress Dowager's mercy", indicating that it was at the behest of the Empress Dowager that they were crowned as concubines.
In Cining Palace, not only the Empress Dowager is there today, but also Emperor Tong and Concubine Wen and Niu Hulu, who had just undergone the canonization ceremony a few days ago, are also sitting on the side.
The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, "From now on, the palace is complete with all four corners! The imperial concubine can also officially hand over the complicated affairs of the six palaces to the fourth concubine!"
Emperor Tong's face changed, and she said with a forced smile: "It is the blessing of the concubine to be able to enjoy the blessing of Qingfu." It's just that now that the New Year is approaching, the fourth concubine rashly took over, I'm afraid that I can't handle the New Year's event, so it's better to ...... Let the four concubines temporarily handle the affairs of the New Year's Festival, and wait until the New Year to ......"
Concubine Wen sneered and interrupted her words: "Imperial Concubine is reluctant to give up the palace power!"
These words really hit the nail on the head! In an instant, Emperor Tong's face turned three points blue.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand, and her old face was indifferent: "Didn't the mourning family ask the fourth concubine to be familiar with palace affairs with you before?" Now it is okay to take over, not to mention that Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are both veterans who have been in the palace for many years, and they are cautious. What you can do alone, it doesn't make sense that the four of them can't do it!"
Concubine Tong's face was extremely stiff, but she did not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager's decree. Glancing at the four concubines with cold eyes, Emperor Tong suddenly thought about it, and showed a little different smile, "There are many affairs in this palace, from the New Year's Festival celebration and longevity to the use of various palaces and courtyards. I just don't know how the four concubines distribute these affairs?"
To put it bluntly, it's a matter of dividing up power. When Emperor Tong said this, she undoubtedly wanted to make the four concubines fight for power, so that she could profit from it.
It's just that the fourth concubine is not stupid......
Concubine Hui was the head of the four concubines, so she took a step forward and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine's concerns, the concubines and others naturally thought of it, so they have already discussed it." If it is a major celebration such as the New Year's Festival, it will be taken care of by the four concubines. The rest of the cumbersome affairs are also assigned according to their respective strengths. ”
Imperial Concubine Tong was stunned, and the dignity on her face was almost unmaintainable, "Really?"
That's right, in order to win the palace power safely, Zhao Yan and Concubine Hui Rong and Concubine Yi have already peacefully distributed the rights of the six palaces, and Concubine Hui is the first, so she is in charge of the distribution of the harem share, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Finance.
Concubine Rong is careful, so she is responsible for the distribution of the tribute at four o'clock, which can be regarded as a welfare department.
Concubine Yi is resolute, she is responsible for the annual election, the selection of palace maids, responsible for teaching the palace rules and distributing them to the palaces, as well as the new eunuchs, nurses, and nannies who enter the palace are also responsible for her, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to managing the personnel department.
And Zhao Yan is responsible for the jurisdiction of Changchun Garden and Yuhua Pavilion, two opera gardens, as well as two flower houses and kennels. Well, it's part of the logistics department. And the Baohua Hall and other places in the palace Buddha Hall, the Huanyi Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, etc., were evenly distributed to Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong, etc.
There are too many logistics places, but there is not much need to worry about on weekdays, and there are few accidents. Even if something happens, it is generally not very tight, and the distribution of shares, the distribution of tributes, and the teaching of palace people are really laborious and laborious tasks.
Concubine Hui smiled and clearly stated the distribution of palace affairs, admiring the ugly expression on the face of Emperor Tong Guifei, and couldn't help but smile and look in a good mood.
The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, "It's rare for you to work together so much, it seems that this year's New Year's Festival banquet will not be a problem." ”
Emperor Tong had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were full of coldness, "I hope the four concubines can really work together and make no mistakes!"
Zhao Yan frowned secretly when she heard this, and the Hesheri family's manpower in the palace had been secretly handed over to Emperor Tong's concubine...... Tong Jia's family is like a tiger, if she is deliberately tricked to make it bad, she is only afraid of ......
Zhao Yan couldn't help but be worried.
The era when the four concubines are in power has finally arrived. It's just that the transfer of rights is often indispensable......
The New Year is approaching, the preparation of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is the most important thing, how to draw up the wine and dishes of the night banquet, what kind of cups and dishes to use, how to arrange the scene, how to arrange the seats of the internal and external women, and what scenes to prepare on the stage, all need to be carefully considered, and the slightest mistake can be made!
But fortunately, Zhao Yan and Concubine Hui Yi Concubine Rong have all seen how Tong Jia's family arranged the night banquet before, and everything is casual.
The New Year is festive, singing is naturally a festive play, the least is the big drama of "Shengshi Hongtu", the scene is also big, and it is also lively, followed by "The Palace of Eternal Life" and "The Peony Pavilion", these Kunqu operas, are written on the red fold, and the time to invite the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to order the play.
At first, everything was well prepared, but I didn't expect that on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, something happened.
