Chapter 200: Canonizing the Concubine
The edict of canonizing the Gao family as a virtuous concubine came to the Ninghe Hall with the official family that night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the harem at that time, the original Princess Yue Wang became the queen as a matter of course.
As for the positions of the four ladies of Gui, Shu, De, and Xian, except for the princess Yelu who was sent by the Liao State and was named a concubine, the other three positions are still vacant.
Yelu's knees are still weak, even if he gives birth to a dragon descendant in the future, a prince with enemy blood, no matter how good he is, he will not be the choice of the prince.
And the Gao family is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, if he has the status of a virtuous concubine......
What this edict means is self-evident.
This matter is not only in the harem, but even in the court.
Wang Miao acquiesced on the surface, but secretly instructed a group of protΓ©gΓ©s and subordinates to oppose it.
Gao Fuwu personally went on the field and argued with reason.
Zhao Tao continued to be absent from the early dynasty.
The rest of the officials either speculated on the Gao family or bet on the Wang family, and they all expressed their positions.
For a while, everyone in the court said a word and I said a word, and it was so noisy and noisy as if they were in the East Market.
The official family looked at Pang Ji and hoped that he would help.
Pang Ji was unsightly.
Yesterday, he had already demonstrated his ability and authority to the officials.
Today, it's the official's turn to be put to his test.
When the official saw Pang Ji looking at him for a moment, he looked away and was silent, naturally guessing what he meant.
"This is my family matter, and the Qing family has no position to put their beaks."
When the ministers heard this, they gradually quieted down.
But Pang still did not support.
He was not satisfied.
He was not satisfied with this answer.
Sure enough, after a while, Wu Caoqiu, the secretary of the military department, retorted: "The official's words are wrong, the palace and the palace are all one, this matter is related to the prince, how can the ministers stay out of the matter?" β
When the official family heard this, his eyebrows were immediately solemn, and his tone was smug with sternness: "This matter can be discussed later, if the Qing family has nothing else to do, then retreat." β
Pang Ji squinted, and the corners of his mouth curled up as if out of nowhere.
It was a sarcastic smile.
β¦β¦
"Prime Minister, what do you think?"
After the next dynasty, the official family once again left Pang Ji alone.
"Prince."
Pang Ji simply replied with these two words.
The official family understood: "Lichaichen is the prince? β
In this way, Wang Miao could not object. However, although the crown prince has a name, it is not impossible to abolish it, and the official family does not need to worry. β
"Hmm......"
The official pondered slightly, and after a moment, he said solemnly: "No, I don't want to establish a prince." β
Pang Ji looked at him with interest: "Don't set up a prince? β
"No."
"The elders and young are disorderly, and it is a great disaster."
The official sneered and asked: "The first emperor and Taizong both established the prince as soon as they ascended the throne, but which prince ended up as an official?" β
When Pang Ji heard this, he frowned and asked: "The country is not established, and the speculation of the ministers will only become more and more intense. β
The national capital, in ancient times, specifically referred to the determination of the heir to the throne and the establishment of the crown prince as the foundation of the country.
"Why should I be on guard?"
The official raised his eyes to look at Pang Ji, his eyes were sharp, his thin lips were lightly opened, and the words he said were so cold that people shuddered: "People who can't survive in this situation, whether it's a concubine or a prince, are not worth worrying about. β
Pang Ji was stunned for a moment, and for a moment, through the inky eyes of the official, what he saw was not the first emperor, but the Marquis of An Guo, who had not been remembered for a long time.
Such a fierce and decisive look has not been seen in many years.
His heart was pounding inexplicably, and a thought that he had never had before surfaced for the first time - could the vision in his heart be pinned on the official in front of him?
"So, I need the Prime Minister's help."
These words brought Pang Ji back to reality.
He had the disappointment of falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley -
"Officials who can't handle this situation alone are also not worth the trouble of the old minister."
Pang Ji replied unceremoniously, ignoring the stunned and unhappy of the official family, arched his hand, and turned away.
β¦β¦
In the morning of the next day, in addition to Zhao Tao, even Prime Minister Pang Ji was also absent.
The civil and military officials are still arguing over the canonization of the Gao family.
The official family watched coldly throughout the whole process and did not say a word.
On the third day, the official family simply suspended the morning pilgrimage of the day.
In the afternoon, a group of important ministers and veterans, including Zhao Tao and Pang Ji, who were on leave, as well as officials above the third grade, were invited to the Wende Palace.
The official sat in front of the bookcase by the window, with the light on his back, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Behind him, a screen was erected.
Behind the screen, there was a seat.
Although they couldn't see the figure and face of the man, the ministers had vaguely guessed who it was.
"Proclaim the decree."
The person behind the screen opened his mouth and commanded, it was a steady and solemn female voice.
The eunuch on the side held the silk book in his hand and shouted and read: "Xuan Empress Dowager's mercy, Yun said: Zhaorong Gao's family, Yusheng famous valve, Xiefu boudoir, Wen Hui house, good and virtuous, but praise the court and Yanqing, give birth to the emperor's eldest son meritorious, now to the book treasure, into the seal for the concubine, hope that in the future to cultivate virtue and self-control, harmony with the palace, diligent dedication, continue to extend the heir." β
Everyone looked at each other.
Originally, she only canonized the Gao family as a virtuous concubine, but the queen mother's decree was directly canonized as a concubine.
Gui, Shu, Virtuous, virtuous, the concubine is the head of the four ladies, there is no imperial concubine in this dynasty, and the position of the concubine is second only to the queen.
The corners of Pang Ji's eyes tightened, and he couldn't help but think of what the first emperor said to him privately before he died.
- "Mellow, you heard me say that this woman is scheming and deep in the city, and she is not simple at all. β
- "If she wants to emulate Lu Pheasant and Wu and do what Si Chen did......"
His heart trembled, and his mind quickly pondered the doorway.
Is it the Zhao family that has formed an alliance with the Gao family?
No, Gao Fuwu, please don't move the Zhao family.
So, is it the Queen Mother's own meaning?
It shouldn't be, most likely, the official family invited the Queen Mother and the Zhao family to come forward for him.
Wang Miao, who was standing next to him, straightened his waist and was about to retort.
But he heard the Queen Mother rush ahead of him and say: "The mourning family is a woman's family, and they have always been non-interfering in the political affairs of the court, and they do not plan to mix in the future." β
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the situation in front of them, what they were most worried about was that the Queen Mother took the opportunity to listen to the government.
"Relativelyβ"
Before the Queen Mother's words were finished, she said coldly: "Your family is a man, you should look at the country, the people's livelihood, the complicated and trivial things in the harem, there are queens and concubines in charge, no matter how bad it is, and I, the old woman, I don't have to worry about it." β
After that, she didn't leave time for everyone to question and refute, but only nodded to the official family and called, "Guanjia, they should withdraw." β
"Yes."
The official didn't say anything, but only made a "please" gesture in the direction of everyone towards the door.
Seeing that the Queen Mother had said everything to this, even if they were dissatisfied, they could only give up.
As they left one after another, they suddenly heard the Queen Mother calling: "Prime Minister Pang Cheng, please stay." β
"The minister is here."
Pang Ji was not surprised, he had already expected that the Queen Mother would keep him.
