Chapter 090: A Helpless Choice
If you really want to talk about it, this daughter of the Pei family is not a very suitable candidate for queen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xue Liao made her the queen at the beginning, and it was not because Empress Pei's appearance was somewhat similar to the late crown princess as most people thought.
The late crown princess Xie was virtuous, virtuous, graceful and generous, and had two sons and a daughter to him. In his mind, the Xie family is perfect, and there is no woman in the world who can compare to the Xie family.
He is not a faint monarch who covets color, how can he choose a queen based only on appearance?
The daughter of the Pei family is actually a helpless choice.
During the ten years of captivity, there were many people who secretly helped him. Without these people, he would not have lived to see the light of day again.
Maybe when they were secretly helping him, these people didn't have too many selfish desires, and they only thought about the Jiangshan Sheji and the common people of Limin. As he ascended the throne as emperor, they also had more ideas. All of them regard themselves as heroes of the opening of the dynasty, but they can't satisfy their desires just for the officials, the officials who are slightly smaller want to be bigger, the officials who are larger want to centralize power, and the three pavilions and six departments are even more ambitious, and even he, the emperor, wants to pinch it in the palm of his hand.
Their reason is very high-sounding, saying that this is the auxiliary monarch to supervise the country, lest he repeat the mistakes of the past, follow the old path of the previous emperor, and push the Great Jin into a situation of no return.
Their main means of "assisting the monarch and supervising the country" is to send women to him, and the position of the queen has naturally become a place for them to compete. Everyone wants it, and every one of them wants to send their daughter into the middle palace in every possible way. Under the pretense of first taking charge of the Houcourt, and then getting involved in the government through the Houcourt, and controlling him, the king of the country.
He once excused himself on the grounds that the first emperor had died less than a year ago, and he wanted to keep filial piety for the first emperor, and he refused to stand up immediately. Those important ministers came up with a lot of great truths, saying that filial piety should be kept, but the saint is the king of a country, and everything must be based on the country. The so-called Qi family governs the country and the world, and the Qi family can govern the country, but now the back position is empty, and no one takes care of the harem for the saint, how can the saint govern the country with peace of mind?
What else does it say that there is no conflict between standing up and keeping filial piety, and the ministers believe that the saint is by no means a dumb king who is addicted to wine, and he will definitely be able to do both. I hope that the Holy Lord will establish the queen as soon as possible, and with the hearts of his subjects, Yunyun.
He only has one mouth, how can he argue with the group of ministers who are prone to talk about the people of the country? In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to the posterior. But which family to appoint as the queen has become a headache.
When he first ascended the throne, his foundation was not stable, and what he was most afraid of was not the formation of a faction among the courtiers, regardless of how many factions they were divided into, as long as they were balanced and able to contain each other, he could take advantage of the struggle between them and reap a share of the fisherman's profits. Once this balance is broken, and one of these forces dominates, that is the most terrible thing.
It is because the empress must not come from the family of these powerful courtiers, otherwise it will be equivalent to he, the emperor, openly standing in line, giving a certain force a god-given opportunity.
Pei Zhihuan's father and son were different from the courtiers who helped him from the beginning, and when the first emperor was there, they were loyal to the first emperor. Seeing that the first emperor was no longer good, and he didn't know where to get the news that he was about to recover, he seized the opportunity to sell him a lot of credit. Since then, he has become his follower.
Those who helped him from the beginning thought that they were highly meritorious, and they didn't bother to be in the company of despicable villains like Pei Zhihuan and his son, who saw the wind and steered and were good at drilling. And Pei Zhihuan's father and son are naturally good at and are only good at surviving in the cracks, and they don't want to form a party with others. They don't know whether they are smart or blind, they are only loyal to the person in the highest position, regardless of whether that person is in real power or not.
Xue Liao took a fancy to the fact that they did not form a party with others, so he moved the mind of the daughter of the Pei family. It is also God's help, the appearance of this daughter of the Pei family is somewhat similar to the late crown princess, which just gave him a good reason and opportunity.
The crown princess is the daughter of the Xie family, and she died to protect the Xie family and his reputation, he can't forget the crown princess, and insists on finding a woman with a similar appearance to be the queen, and the courtiers are not too talkative.
To put it bluntly, he was able to reluctantly raise the daughter of the Pei family to the back position, firstly, he played the infatuation card, secondly, he took advantage of the courtiers' praise for the late crown princess, and even more used the prestige of the Xie family that still existed in the world. Otherwise, just the background and qualifications of the Pei family's daughter are enough for those humerus ministers to use as a reason to oppose the queen.
He doted on Empress Pei, and also to tell those courtiers that he was very satisfied with the queen he had chosen.
While doing superficial articles, he also hopes that this queen can live up to her name, take on the responsibility of taking care of the harem, help him relieve his worries, and truly become the supporter behind him.
There are some things that he can't say clearly, although Queen Pei is smart, she can't reach the level of being thorough at a point. Sitting on the queen's seat, he didn't know how to be diligent and motivated, and he relied on his favor to become arrogant, which really disappointed and anxious him.
I wanted to find a transparent person to teach her, but I didn't have the right person.
The most senior person in the palace is Concubine Zhu Xian, who has accompanied him for ten years in Zongzheng Academy, although Concubine Zhu Xian is not as virtuous and generous as the late crown princess, she also knows how to be polite. At first, he did not have the idea of establishing the Zhu clan as the queen, but he was strongly opposed by the courtiers.
When Zhu's father was imprisoned, in order to protect himself, he resolutely threw himself into the door of King Lian. Later, he was convicted of participating in official bank fraud, and was beheaded by a house raider, and ended up in disrepute. Although the Zhu family once announced the severance of relations with the Zhu family, it could not change the fact that the Zhu family was the daughter of a criminal official. In all dynasties, there has never been an example of the daughter of a criminal being a queen.
Queen Pei and Concubine Zhu Xian served a husband, and Concubine Zhu Xian was not pleasing to the eye. In addition, her status is higher than that of Concubine Zhu Xian, and she looks down on Concubine Zhu Xian's status as the daughter of an official, how can she be willing to listen to Concubine Zhu Xian's teachings?
Those courtiers and family members, he can't trust any of them. Mrs. An is different, she is a person who has killed the enemy side by side with Duke Xie Guogong on the battlefield, even if she stoops down to be a concubine and lives in seclusion for many years, she is still a heroine who does not let her eyebrows be shaved in the eyes of many people. The most important thing is that she is the person who solves the family, and she is held by him, so she naturally has the same heart as him.
It would be great if Mrs. An could come forward to teach Queen Pei.
He didn't know that Mrs. An entered the palace today to ask for a meeting to solve the affairs of the descendants of the family, and he wanted to ask Queen Pei to have more contact with Mrs. An, so he sent people to Kunning Palace.
It was only when the order was given that he realized that he had made a wrong decision. Empress Pei has a narrow scale, and when she learns that Mrs. An crossed the middle palace and asked to see him directly, she must hold a grudge. If he is willful for a while and does something to hurt Mrs. An, how will he explain it to the world?
With this matter in mind in mind, and dealing with some important folds, he said that he was unwell, retired early, and hurried to Kunning Palace.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a palace maid who was beaten half to death, and then I saw the imperial doctor, coupled with Queen Pei's enthusiasm for Mulan, I could figure out with my toes how Queen Pei embarrassed the two ancestors and grandchildren of the old lady.
At this time, when I heard her proposal to pursue the family that had taken in Mulan, I decided that she had bad intentions, and her face couldn't help but sink, "It's not a trivial matter to chase the seal, you need to discuss it with the courtiers before you can decide, is it just a casual nonsense?"
