Chapter 56: Duanrou Imperial Concubine

In the past few days, Emperor Ming Jing has been lying in bed, not unconscious, and occasionally awake, but he can't speak.

Although there are few sober moments, it is enough for him to understand some things.

For example, the impatience of various parties in the court, the speculation of the Queen Mother about Concubine Shun and Li Zong, and the careful care of the concubine and the prince......

This is also thanks to Huang Shun, so that he can be familiar with today's government affairs even if he strikes for a few days.

Huang Shun is worthy of being the personal eunuch who has followed him for more than 20 years, and even the Queen Mother has never found out that her son has gradually regained consciousness, but Huang Shun has noticed it.

It was also Huang Shun who whispered in his ear every night about the situation in the court, and he chose a just right time to wake up.

Otherwise, it is not the will of God, how could it be that when the Queen Mother couldn't suppress the group of chaotic parties, he happened to open his eyes by himself?

His illness is indeed menacing, according to Huang Shun, if the imperial doctor hadn't hindered him from being the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid that in ordinary people's homes, he would have already let the arrangements be made.

In other words, a few days ago, the Queen Mother knew that maybe he wouldn't survive, if she hadn't given the death order, and the imperial doctor would have tried his best to save it, it would be difficult to say whether he could pick it up or not.

What surprised Emperor Ming Jing was that the Queen Mother never supported the young lord to listen to the government.

The Wang family has a big mind, and Emperor Mingjing has always known it.

He was sure that the Wang family had definitely made such comments to the Queen Mother.

However, judging from the fact that the Queen Mother still bothered to stabilize the dynasty for him, the Queen Mother did not agree with the Wang family's ambitions.

Being able to hold on to the temptation of becoming the de facto lord of the world, Emperor Ming Jing couldn't imagine that it was because of other reasons besides him.

This may be what Xian'er said, a mother's instinct for her child.

When Emperor Ming Jing first ascended the throne, the mother-son relationship between him and the Queen Mother was not close, although there was a reason why the Wang family was constantly expanding its power, and another reason was that the Queen Mother's concern for Emperor Ming Jing did not come out, it has always been cold, even the mother and son of ordinary people's families.

In this way, Emperor Ming Jing has always been haunted.

Empress Ming Xiaoyuan has always said this to Emperor Ming Jing.

She once said that as a woman, she naturally understands a mother's instinct for her own children, but the queen mother is not born to express feelings, and the emperor will naturally understand it in the future.

For this reason, Emperor Mingjing also had a cold war with Su Zhixian for a few days.

At that time, he didn't like to hear people make peace for the Queen Mother, and he didn't see what instincts the Queen Mother would have, she was a character who couldn't express herself!

Because of this, the relationship between the Queen Mother and Emperor Ming Jing became more and more estranged.

Now, after such a serious illness, Emperor Ming Jing understood what Empress Ming Xiaoyuan meant.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ming Jing looked at a Buddha statue specially presented by the Queen Mother, and felt a little guilty about his previous suspicions about the Queen Mother.

She was always her own mother, and mothers always loved their children.

recruited Huang Shun, regardless of his dissuasion, dragged the sick body to the Jinshen Palace.

Relying on Huang Shun's oral complaints, he has always been a little vague about the actions of various parties in the court.

Emperor Mingjing thinks that he is a diligent emperor, although he does not say that he will immediately go to the court to deal with government affairs, but he has to look at the excerpts of the past few days.

Huang Shun lowered his eyebrows and held Emperor Mingjing's arm, and silently helped him into the Jinshen Palace.

He is an old man beside Emperor Mingjing, so he naturally has a little ability to observe words and feelings, especially to speculate on Emperor Mingjing's feelings.

Looking at him looking at the Buddha statue sent by the Queen Mother, Huang Shun could probably guess what Emperor Ming Jing was thinking.

I guess someone will be unlucky again in a while.

Watching the newborn sun hanging honestly in the sky, it seems that I want to warm the whole winter day by myself.

Weak and sad.

Pretending to sigh, Huang Shun obeyed Emperor Mingjing's orders and waited outside the palace.

His new master, judging from the moment he first entered the palace, he knew that it was not a simple character.

Now it seems that his old eyes have not fainted, and the Queen Mother who is sitting firmly in Cining Palace is in her hands, just like playing, let her rub it.

Huang Shun knew that at the beginning, although Emperor Ming Jing planned to give a concubine, it was not a two-character title, and he never even thought of giving her the title.

However, after only one meeting, Emperor Ming Jing changed his mind on the spot, and turned around and personally gave the word "Duanrou".

End, straight, straight, dignified.

Soft, weak, and warm, seeking softness, tenderness.

These two words can be regarded as carefully selected by Emperor Mingjing, and they are very suitable.

This change made Huang Shun frightened, but he was even more jealous of the means of this sister of Empress Ming Xiaoyuan in his heart.

Later, Duanrou Guifei's sudden fall from grace and the queen's sudden favor caught Huang Shun a little off guard, and in his imagination, Duanrou Guifei definitely did not quit the harem so quickly to compete for favor.

She must have been planning something in secret.

In fact, his guess was right.

Perhaps it was the bystander Qing, the gradual intimacy between the Duanrou concubine and the prince, the gradual silence of the Su family in the court and the current situation of the queen, all of which made Huang Shun have a strong premonition.

And the reason for this pre-induction test was nothing else, but that Duanrou Guifei personally found him.

Since the emperor was lying in bed and critically ill, Huang Shun felt that the queen mother looked at his head with murderous intent, which made him uneasy, but helpless.

That night was the second day of Duanrou Guifei's illness.

The moonlight is not bright, with a little hazy, with a little bewilderment, the shadows of the trees are longing, hanging with ice cubes, cool and cold.

A little palace maid led him to the dark, and when he was guessing who the master behind the scenes was, he only heard that Duanrou Guifei said in her unique soft voice, "This palace can give you a chance, it depends on whether you can grasp it......"

The sky was very dark, Huang Shun couldn't see half of Duan Rou Guifei's expression, listening to the voice, she was extremely confident.

She was indeed confident enough, because Duanrou Guifei and he both understood that there was no way out for her.

If he doesn't get on her ship, he will either die or live in retirement.

Although Huang Shun is a minion, he is also a personal servant by Emperor Mingjing's side, and it is not surprising that he has a little political acumen in his ears and eyes.

He knew that Concubine Duanrou was recruiting him, but he had no other way.

When Emperor Ming Jing was not awake, the head on his neck was not stable.

Huang Shun finally agreed to Duanrou Guifei and also got on the thief ship.

When you get on a thief ship, you naturally have to do something to show your loyalty.

To Huang Shun's surprise, Concubine Duanrou did not give any orders that made him unacceptable, such as poisoning the current saint and other major crimes, but just asked him not to tell the emperor in the ear about the empress dowager's every move in the palace, and not to let the emperor know half of the admonitions about the Wang family.

The government affairs in the court are not what he should be asked about as a eunuch, although he can understand a little bit of the situation of the previous dynasty with the acquiescence of Emperor Ming Jing on weekdays, but it is impossible to go to each family in detail.

It is not without examples of eunuch dictatorship in history.

At such a critical juncture, Huang Shun did not dare to touch Emperor Mingjing's mold.

So Huang Shun followed the instructions of Concubine Duanrou, and his words did not involve the Wang family at all, and even the Queen Mother only kept talking about the deep love between mother and son, etc.

Maybe it was because Concubine Duanrou was satisfied with what he did, and she was quite generous in giving benefits.

Or maybe it's time to close the net.

Originally, Emperor Ming Jing, who was just stabilizing his condition, gradually woke up......

Huang Shun also regained the trust of Emperor Ming Jing under the signal of Duanrou Guifei.

He didn't have the ability to know Emperor Jing's every move under the hindrance of the Queen Mother.

You must know that Emperor Ming Jing was seriously ill this time, and in the final analysis, it was the dereliction of duty of Huang Shun, a personal eunuch.

Even if Emperor Ming Jing woke up, because of the old feelings, although he would not punish him severely, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not take the burden of his eunuch chief and let him out of the palace to live for the rest of his life.

Now, the fool also knew why the emperor was seriously ill this time, not to mention Huang Shun, who was like a human spirit.

However, where is it so good to get on a thief ship?

There are some things, once done, that you can't go back.

"Huang Shun! Get out of here! Intendedβ€”"

Huang Shun stood outside the hall, feeling a little apprehensive, hearing Emperor Mingjing's roar with a cough, his hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

The emperor finally saw the folds that filled the entire book case, and also summoned the secret guards who were usually hidden in the shadows, and knew a fact that the entire harem now knows - the queen mother is powerful.

Even Ning Jieyu was imprisoned in the small Buddha hall of Cining Palace by the Queen Mother for no apparent reason.

Speaking of which, Huang Shun didn't think that he had deceived the emperor in the slightest, at most he was just like a secret guard who was bought by the queen mother, and he never said that the queen mother was not.

He is telling the truth, and there is absolutely no crime of bullying the king!

Even Emperor Mingjing couldn't find the slightest mistake.

Moreover, Huang Shun is also sure that Emperor Ming Jing will not condemn him, but will trust him more.

He has never deceived the monarch, and he puts the emperor first in everything he says and does, although he is a little stupid, so stupid that he can't see the clues of government affairs, and he is so stupid that he doesn't understand government affairs at all after so many years, and he doesn't have the slightest political mind.

However, what the emperor needed was such a foolish man who put him first in everything.

He can only live longer if he is such a stupid person.

Huang Shun sighed slightly in his heart while studying the ink, listening to Emperor Mingjing's oral complaints, and writing the holy decree.

Duanrou Guifei's plan was finally completed.

No, in the future, I will have to be honored - Duanrou Imperial Concubine.

The position is the same as the vice-queen.

"Carried by heaven, the emperor said, the Ministry of Rites, I respectfully serve the Holy Mother of the Queen Mother. Since ancient times, the emperor, Shen Jian Shude, the preparation of the rank of the palace, to Xiang internal affairs. The past system and the ceremony are long. Duanrou Guifei Su, Wen Hui Duanliang. Grace Mao. Today, she is named the concubine of Duanrou Emperor. ”

In the anger of Emperor Mingjing, this holy decree instantly spread throughout the harem of the former dynasty.

When everyone was confused, Su's father Su was burning the letterhead that Duanrou Guifei brought out of the palace in the study.

Looking at the constantly beating fireworks, I couldn't help but sigh: The Su family has this daughter, a hundred years of glory, at your fingertips!

Cining Palace.

Since Emperor Ming Jing woke up, it was inappropriate for the Queen Mother to stay in the Qianqing Palace, so she returned to her palace early.

The concubine and the crown prince naturally returned to the East Palace and Xianfu Palace.

In the morning, Emperor Ming Jing also accompanied the Queen Mother to breakfast with a smile, but unexpectedly returned to Cining Palace not long ago, and before he sat down, he heard this holy decree of Emperor Ming Jing!

"He, how dare he, how can the emperor be like this! Leaving a mourning home in various places? The Queen Mother grabbed Jingshui's arm tightly and said, unbelievably authentic.

Who doesn't know that the Queen Mother and the Su family have always had suspicions, if it weren't for Emperor Ming Jing supporting them on the bright side, they would have been incompatible long ago.

"In order to stabilize the situation, the mourning family deliberately let the concubine serve the sick, but unexpectedly, it gave her a reason to be canonized!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, the wrinkles on her face were crowded together, as if in an instant, she was several years old, and the cloudy eyes of the elderly revealed sorrow, "The emperor has never been a mourner, is it his mother!" Everything must be against the mourners! walked a Su Zhixian, but another Su Zhiwan came! ”

A slave maid in Jingshui didn't have the courage to say that the current saint was not, so she could only let the queen mother grab her hand and soothe, "The master must not be angry for the one in Xianfu Palace, the emperor must have been bewitched by that person, so he disregarded the master's wishes." Besides, the master crossed the emperor a few days ago and took Ning Jieyu......"

The implication of Jingshui is that Emperor Mingjing was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's overstep, but unexpectedly, the Queen Mother thought of something else.

A place where a mother instinctively cares.

The Queen Mother said violently, "The emperor has just woken up, but he can't let such annoyances disturb his mind anymore!" ”

If there is another angry attack, I am afraid that there will really be no way to return to the sky.

"If so, the emperor will let him go...... How's that to be? Still water said with a sad face.

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned and silent.

Today's Li Cheng reminds her of the emperor who ascended the throne at the beginning of that year.

listens to the daughter of the Su family, and has only one face affection for her biological mother.

The Queen Mother is a woman in the deep palace, and she doesn't understand what the reason for Emperor Ming Jing suddenly lost her face.

If it was just a passover, just because he took Ning Jieyu, and Emperor Ming Jing's guilt towards her now, of course he wouldn't take it to heart.

Emperor Ming Jing is an emperor, what he sees is definitely not such a small harem, he focuses on the previous dynasty and the whole world!

Listening to Huang Shun's complaints, Emperor Ming Jing always thought that in the past few days when he was in a coma, the previous dynasty had always been very stable, and although there was a chaotic party, it could still be suppressed.

However, after reading these excerpts, he realized that he was very wrong!

He still overestimated Huang Shun, Huang Shun was just a little eunuch, although he could sort out some unimportant folds for him on weekdays, but he was far from having the political mind to see the situation clearly.

It is true that the Queen Mother suppressed Li Zong and Concubine Shun's party, but I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she directly removed Li Zong's party from her post, and replaced them with officials who are inextricably linked to the Wang family without a trace, and some of them are even directly the descendants of the Wang family!

I thought that the Queen Mother had no intention of supporting the young master, but when he saw that most of the people in the court were now members of the Wang family, Emperor Ming Jing had to suspect that the Queen Mother did not have that thought, but that he woke up too early!

Emperor Ming Jing touched these folds, only to feel that his mind was dizzy, his lips were no longer colored, and his originally warm heart was also half cold!

What made him feel relieved was that the Su family did not take any action in this incident, did not form a party for personal gain, did not secretly expand its power, did not buy people's hearts, did not do anything, just conscientiously handled the errand in hand according to his previous instructions, even if some clansmen were dismissed by the Queen Mother for various reasons, they only thanked Yizhi, and there was no disrespect.

In such a comparison, what the Su family and the Wang family have done is simply one day and one earth!

The most important thing is to master balance.

The ministers under the emperor do not need to be full of parties, nor do they need to be dominant, which will make the throne unstable and make it difficult for the emperor to sleep alone.

Before that, Emperor Ming Jing had always done a good job.

Among the generals, the Yuan family is firmly in the hands of the emperor, and in terms of Wenchen, there are Su family and Wang family opposing each other, although the Su family has always been slightly superior, but the Wang family is also closely behind.

But! It's just that the Queen Mother has interfered in government affairs for so many days, and the good situation of the previous dynasty has been so vividly one-sided.

was so angry that Emperor Ming Jing directly asked Huang Shun to draft his decree and promoted him to the position of Duanrou concubine.

It can be regarded as compensation for the grievances suffered by the Su family in the past few days, and it is also a warning to the Queen Mother and the Wang family!

And that's just the beginning.

Emperor Ming Jing finally couldn't bear the Wang family anymore.

Huang Shun saw that Emperor Mingjing's face was quite ugly, and said with an anxious expression, "Your Majesty, do you want the imperial doctor to come and take a look?" ”

Emperor Ming Jing sat slumped in his chair, leaned on his back weakly and said, "Pass it." ”

Now, he has been to the ghost gate once, but he regrets his life.

I don't want to try that weak taste again.

Huang Shun peeked at Emperor Mingjing's expression, secretly sent someone, and called the imperial doctor over.

At this time, Emperor Ming Jing was no longer suitable to invite the imperial doctor with great fanfare.

Changchun Palace.

These days, Concubine Liang is quite self-cultivation, in addition to praying for Emperor Mingjing on weekdays, she is learning to prune and prune flowers and plants with Duanrou Guifei, and after a long time, she also gets a little interesting.

Since Concubine Liang has obtained the palace power, as long as she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, Emperor Ming Jing will not ask about it.

It's just a few pots of flowers, and Emperor Mingjing can still afford it.

When the holy decree spread throughout the harem, Concubine Liang was taking care of a newly purchased pot of phoenixes.

"Niangniang......" Peizhu said anxiously.

"This palace is now an ally with Duanrou Imperial Concubine, she is fine, and this palace is fine." Concubine Liang settled her mind on Shinto.

"But, Gong Quan ......," Pei Zhu lowered her head and said softly.

Concubine Liang waved her hand and said, "Can the palace pass or the concubine is in charge of the palace power, and naturally it can also pass the imperial concubine to take the palace power!" ”

Concubine Liang said loudly, but she couldn't stop feeling empty in her heart.

The concubine and the imperial concubine are different in the end.

Ordinary people, the concubine is at most a concubine, and the imperial concubine is the same wife, and in the royal family, she is also the same queen.

She can pass over the concubine, but she can't pass the wife.

It's just that I don't know what the current Duanrou Imperial Concubine thinks.

Peizhu's words worked in her heart, waiting for an appropriate time to take root and spread, until she grabbed that person and dragged her into the abyss.

Xianfu Palace.

Su Zhiwan's imperial concubine's promotion was quite simple, just a canonization decree, the golden book of the imperial concubine and the routine canonization reward sent her away, far less powerful than when the canonization of the concubine was huge, and everyone watched her.

Su Zhiwan didn't dislike it, this position of imperial concubine was originally just an accident, she just wanted to calculate the Wang family, no one thought that the queen mother would be so stupid!

gave her a place for nothing.

"Slave and maid, please Duanrou Imperial Concubine Niangniang Jin An!"

After the little eunuch who passed the holy decree left, he took the lead in serving the book, playing the piano, playing chess, and painting, and led a large number of eunuchs and palace maids in Xianfu Palace to greet Su Zhiwan, with joy in his words.

"You all get up, everyone in Xianfu Palace will reward March today!" Su Zhiwan said with a smile.

"Thank you for the reward!"

Su Zhiwan smiled and turned around and entered the dormitory.

Playing with the newly arrived gold book Jinbao, waiting for someone who likes to appear quietly in Xianfu Palace every day when there is nothing to do.

"I heard that Emperor Ming Jing called the imperial doctor again?" Li Chengze suddenly appeared in her dormitory, poured a cup of tea and held it in front of Su Zhiwan, and said.

Su Zhiwan took over with a smile, "The news came very quickly, and Emperor Mingjing probably won't be able to stay up for long." ”

"Ah Wan, when do we have to wait until we kill Li Cheng?" Li Chengze said.

He has countless ways to make Emperor Ming Jing die quietly without being suspected by anyone, but Ah Wan said that he wanted to play the entire Ming Dynasty, and he could only rely on her.

For this reason, he has been enduring Li Chengming's righteous occupation of Awan's other half of the identity, seeing that Li Chengcheng is about to die, but he doesn't understand why Awan wants to save him!

Su Zhiwan glanced at him and said with a smile, "What's the hurry?" Don't you want to see how the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was to death was to death as recorded in the history books later? ”

The implication is to let Emperor Ming Jing be angry to death and record the annals of history! Let him be disgraced and thrown in front of his children and grandchildren in the future!

"alive? How to die? Li Chengze said, he doesn't understand the twists and turns of these harems.

"Everyone betrayed their relatives and separated, and their wives were separate......d," Su Zhiwan hooked her lips and smiled.

The fate of the original owner is ten thousand times more miserable than this, what is her return now, the good show is still to come!
