After Situ Yun went down to the court, he rushed to Qingning Palace.

Compared to the son, those two daughters are nothing! Only sons can inherit the country! Only sons can inherit the great treasure!

After entering, the palace people were about to salute. Situ Yun didn't bother to deal with them: "Excuse me." ”

When I entered the palace, I saw the queen holding the prince, the queen was wearing underwear, and the windows on all sides were closed, so she didn't dare to see the wind at this time.

Seeing Situ Yun, Queen Wang hurriedly got up.

Situ Yun hurriedly waved his hand: "That's it, you are still in confinement, and you can't see the wind." "Ordered the nurse to carry the prince to herself.

The prince has not yet opened, and he is still crumpled, but thinking of the benefits that this son brings to him, Situ Yun is not very happy.

"Can the prince's affairs be arranged?"

"The concubine is ready." The queen looked at her child lovingly, this is the precious son she conceived and born in October, and the child born from heaven, this is the future master of the country.

"The concubine is preparing four nurses, and there are also the imperial doctors and palace maids waiting for them. I'm not going to have an accident. ”

Situ Yun bowed his head and asked about Queen Wang's body again. "Concubine Ning came to deliver medicine in the morning, how do you feel?"

Queen Wang's face changed, and she smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, it's just that it's not suitable to see outsiders, and the delivery room is filthy, so Concubine Ning was not allowed to come in." ”

When Situ Yun heard this, his brows tightened, as if he heard something wrong.

Queen Wang hurriedly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, the emperor hasn't chosen a name yet, I don't know what Your Majesty means?" ”

"Wait a minute, we'll see how it goes."

"Depends on the situation?" Queen Wang couldn't hold her breath, she didn't have a name, how could she canonize the crown prince? "Then what the emperor said yesterday to canonize the crown prince?"

"You are the queen, and the eldest son from the middle palace is naturally the crown prince." Situ Yun is a little worried, the queen can't see this kind of thing? He urgently needed an heir to secure his position of power and bring the old Confucian stubbornness into his camp.

Although it is rare for the eldest son to succeed to the throne, this is a Confucian etiquette. With the crown prince here, and he is the eldest son, those Confucians will not refute it, but will support it vigorously. Even if something happens to him, those people will definitely support his descendants, not a few princes on the throne.

But the name has another meaning, and it is not Situ Yun and the queen's turn to call the shots.

Seeing that the queen couldn't hold her breath and her appearance was a little haggard than before giving birth, the emperor was a little resistant: "That's it, you rest first." Situ Yun flicked his sleeves and left, ignoring the queen, just asking people to take care of the prince carefully.

Queen Wang's face changed, and after Situ Yun left, she asked left and right: "I just spoke in this palace, but what did I say wrong?" ”

"Nope." The henchman next to him naturally wouldn't say anything about the queen's request to establish a prince, and his eyes rolled: "Just now His Majesty asked about Concubine Ning, and Niangniang's answer might have made His Majesty aware of something?" ”

"This palace refuses a palace concubine to ask for peace, is this still wrong? Now that the prince is the biggest, it is difficult to ensure that these concubines have any evil intentions, and they should be careful to guard Qingning Palace, which is also wrong? Queen Wang was angry, dropped the porcelain, and turned her head into the house.

The female officials in the back looked at each other and sighed: "The temper of the mother after giving birth is getting bigger and bigger." "But after all, she is the queen, and now she is about to have a prince by her side, and the future queen mother has to be respected. Not surprisingly, her boss is the most noble woman in the future.

Several palace maids stepped forward to clean up the porcelain fragments and carefully appease their mothers.

Situ Yun came out of Qingning Palace and instructed Xiao Xiangzi: "You go and inquire and see what happened in Qingning Palace today?" ”

"Whoa." Xiao Xiangzi sent someone to inquire, and came back after a short time to report: "This morning, Concubine Ning came to deliver the medicine, and she ate a closed door without saying anything, and I heard that the queen sent someone to pour the decoction and medicine." ”

Xiao Xiangzi is not stupid, he went to Taiji Pavilion with Situ Yun and Wei Qian yesterday, and later saw Situ Yun sleeping in Yongfu Palace. This eunuch has a scale in his heart, knows who is the most favored now, and honestly reports it.

Situ Yun's eyes flashed, and he asked again, "Where is Concubine Ning now?" ”

"The palace people said that Concubine Ning Niangniang later went to deliver medicine to Concubine Xian and Concubine Wen. After that, I went to Ningshou Palace. ”

"Drive Ningshou Palace." Situ Yun was on his back, and he became more and more blind to what the queen was doing.

It's not the material to be a queen in the end!

Thinking of the crown princess of his own prince's brother back then, and then looking at his own queen who was born as a princess, Situ Yun complained about the emperor again. "What kind of demeanor is that imperial sister-in-law? My father was really eccentric back then! ”

Among the princes of that year, it was his princess who had the worst status and the worst family background. This kind of woman from a family is reluctant to take charge of a palace, let alone the world.

Although the harem can't interfere in politics, it has to be sensitive, right? What situation is still incomprehensible? Didn't you see that Concubine Wu Guifei and Concubine Xiande have been honestly waiting for the queen to give birth recently, and they haven't even objected to the establishment of the prince?

If another emperor wants to set up a prince, the harem will definitely make waves. But why is it okay here? To put it bluntly, the emperor is still there. Attacking the East Palace and cutting off Situ Yun's heirs means being cruel to yourself.

Even if these two concubines are unwilling, they are honestly waiting.

"Endure this for the time being, when the emperor dies and the emperor's position is stable, when the time comes, isn't it still for a young prince to be kneaded?"

The two concubines currently have no heirs, and it is not yet time to really compete for the dragon, so they can endure the queen's arrogance for the time being. Besides, the crown prince may not be equal to the emperor, as can be seen by looking at the example of Situ Yun's generation.

After all, the daughter's family taught by Jia Shishi and Wu Guolao is not as good as Wei Qiande's Jia Daishan in terms of political sensitivity, but their demeanor and appearance are not comparable to Queen Wang.

If it weren't for Queen Wang and Situ Yun going through the most difficult journey, Situ Yun would definitely not have this attitude now.

"She really thinks she's safe to be queen?"

This dynasty is a rare double emperor in ancient times, and the rules are naturally different from other dynasties, and it is difficult to find reference examples.

"Two years as a queen, but I have learned a lot of kung fu, and here is still the princess of the small family in the past." Situ Yun was a little helpless. This kind of princess manages the harem, can she serve the public? Which concubine can be suppressed?

"Therefore, it is still necessary for the queen mother to temporarily manage the harem. Let's take a look first, and we'll talk about it in a few years. ”

Driving Ningshou Palace, I happened to see Wei Qian and Empress Dowager Chen discussing the name of the prince.

"Hongu thinks the word 'Jie' is good. Heroic people, this is the good grandson of this palace. Concubine Ning? What do you think? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare to talk about it, after all, this is the blood of the queen's mother."

"The queen was born in a small family, she is shallow, what does she know?"

After Situ Yun came in, he couldn't help frowning when he saw that the two were also discussing names. The queen wants to choose a name, why he is unwilling, is because he wants the emperor to choose the name, in order to be recognized by the emperor himself.

But why is Concubine Ning also discussing the name with the Queen Mother?

Situ Yun felt that his "teammate" would not fail to see the manipulation behind the name.

"Even if the queen mother is gone, why is she confused? Could it be that this is a common problem among women? ”

Wei Qian and Empress Dowager Chen sat opposite each other, and there were five golden locks on the table in front of them. This is the Empress Dowager Chen ordered people to hurry up to manufacture, the delicate gold lock has five names written on it: "Jie", "Xi", "Tao", "Zhao" and "Xi".

Seeing Situ Yun coming, Wei Qian got up: "The concubine went to Taiji Pavilion this morning, these are the five words set by the emperor, Your Majesty xià to see which one is more desirable?" ”

"Father spoke?" Situ Yun was overjoyed. Let Wei Qian sit down, add another chair, and prepare to study the name.

Wei Qian seemed a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is here, how can there be a concubine sitting in the right seat?" And this naming problem, it is still appropriate to find the queen mother. ”

"Queen?" Situ Yun shook his head: "She has a good confinement, which is better than anything else." "As long as the queen doesn't cause trouble, he will thank him.

Empress Dowager Chen couldn't look down on Queen Wang's temperament, so she comforted Wei Qian: "This is in the palace, you just have to sit." Going back, Hongu is also counting on you to help preside over this draft. After a pause, Empress Dowager Chen turned her head to the emperor and said, "The queen is recuperating in peace, Concubine Wu is recuperating during this time, and Concubine Xiande needs to take care of the princess." Look at the palace, and Concubine Ning is the most appropriate in the palace. Ten days later, the draft will let Concubine Ning accompany the palace to host, what do you think? ”

"Concubine Ning is doing things properly, this is excellent." Situ Yun has a division for the people in the harem along the way.

The queen, she is very respectful, after all, she is the wife of chaff. But count on her to help you get the real imperial power? Don't talk about her, even her mother clan doesn't use it!

Deng Zhaoyi and Li Zhaoyuan belong to the favored concubines, and they are very pampered, and they can be used as their own interpretation flowers. But the rest of the world can't keep up. It's okay to play, but you can't rely on it. However, with the help of their mother family, the previous dynasty could give some face.

Wu Guifei, Concubine Xiande, Wen Xiuyi and Wei Qian are all people who can talk to him and have brain circuits at the same level. Wu Guifei is currently in the cold for the time being because of her family. Concubine Xiande and Wen Xiuyi have to take care of the children, and only Wei Qian, a comrade-in-arms, can help their mother.

"But Concubine Ning's level is too low, and she needs to be mentioned."

The fourth concubine doesn't think about it, Wei Qian can't give birth to a child, unless she makes a great contribution, it will be difficult to be promoted to the position of the fourth concubine. From the nine concubines, there are currently only four nine concubines, Deng Zhaoyi in the first place, Li Zhaoyuan in the third place, Wen Xiuyi in the fourth place, and Wei Qian in the seventh place.

"This palace sees that the position of Zhaorong among the three Zhao is still vacant, why don't you let Concubine Ning make up for it?"

When Wei Qian heard this, she hurriedly got up: "The concubine is useless, how dare she canonize a high position?" ”

"You have been busy these days, how can you say that it is useless?" Empress Dowager Chen continued to persuade Situ Yun, and Wei Qian waved her hand again and again: "Sister Wen is still a cultivator, and she has the merit of childbirth, how dare the concubine be above her?" ”

"Then put Concubine Wen in Zhaorong, you take the position to Xiuyi, and then take a few more people to fill the position of the remaining five concubines." Empress Dowager Chen said immediately.

Wei Qian was startled and looked at Empress Dowager Chen. I saw the Empress Dowager Chen winking and smiling at herself, where did she not know that the Empress Dowager was retreating as advancing?

"What does 陛xià mean?" Empress Dowager Chen looked at Situ Yun, Situ Yun already had the intention of taking the opportunity to seal the harem, and bowed her head: "Concubine Ning will help me with the name of the staff, and I will decide when I go back." ”

"Yes, Concubine Ning, you plan for our mother and son to see which name is more suitable for my good grandson."

"Jie", "Xi", "Tao", "Zhao", "Xi".

Wei Qian looked at it and said, "Jie, as the Queen Mother said, extraordinary can be described as Jie." ”

"Xi, there is a bright and splendid meaning, the morning is bright and bright. It can refer to the morning light, and the beginning of the day is only the morning plan. But Wei Qian doesn't like this word, and it's easy to think of a certain great sage with this word.

"Tao, it also has the meaning of longevity. The upper is longevity, and the meaning is long; The fire is blazing and raging. It also means longevity and health. ”

"Zhao, there is daylight, etc., but the concubine doesn't like it, after all, this word is too common."

"Xi, it means bright and prosperous, which can be used as a reference."

Situ Yun thought about it, and saw that the Queen Mother removed the golden lock of the word "Zhao": "Yun'er's generation is headed by the sun, which means bright and bright, and the next generation inherits the father's virtue, and the same should be true." And the word "Jie" was removed.

"It's too ordinary, so it's better to go." Situ Yun went to another word, and finally only chose between "Tao" and "Xi".

Empress Dowager Chen wavered, and Situ Yun was also a little embarrassed.

Wei Qian was even more indifferent, and suddenly remembered something: "The chapter of Yun Han is melted into Qingyun, knot into nectar, melted but not sunny, knot but not dispersed, and risked his descendants." "Tao is here, it has the meaning of prolonging for a long time.

This is what Su Shi of the Song Dynasty said in the previous life. There are only Han and Tang dynasties in this world of red mansions, and there is no Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, so this statement cannot be circulated.

"What do you mean by that?"

"When the concubine was a child, she listened to what others said, which meant to shelter future generations."

"The chapter of Yunhan is melted into Qingyun, knot is nectar, melts but does not break, knot but does not disperse." Situ Yun chattered in his mouth, and couldn't stop nodding: "Good literary talent, this person must be a great sage!" ”

"Masters in the mountains, I think there is something extraordinary about it." Wei Qian said: "Shelter the descendants, the incense is endless, it is better to let the Emperor Taishang come to protect this grandson to live a long life." ”

In other words, implying that the Emperor Taishang protects the crown prince in the palace?

Situ Yun promised, took up the pen to write down the poems Wei Qian's words, and sent the golden lock to the Taiji Pavilion.

The next day, the Taiji Pavilion issued several decrees.

The first is to order the Empress Dowager Chen to be in charge of all affairs in the Daming Palace. Whether it is the Taiji Pavilion or the Ye Court or even the emperor's harem, they are all temporarily taken care of by the Queen Mother.

The second article is to give the emperor's eldest grandson the name "Tao", the position of the crown prince, and the lord of the East Palace. Three days later, the temple worshiped the ancestors and comforted the ancestors.

The third article reprimanded Concubine Zhen Gui, and removed a large number of palace people in the Taiji Pavilion, and many people in the harem of the court also appeared.

Fourth, the three kings of loyalty, loyalty, and filial piety were all reprimanded, and they were arrested by the emperor for a reason and fined for one year, and thought about it behind closed doors.

Fifth, Wei Qian was given a wish, and let people bring a sentence "Gold and jade collide, gold and jade are broken." Jade is a fragile thing that needs to be taken care of. ”

In the eyes of others, this is grace, but in Wei Qian's ears, it is undoubtedly a warning.

Warn Wei Qian to stretch out her hand too long, a woman is acting recklessly in the harem, beware of a certain day the soul will disappear.

When the other palace concubines were jealous, Wei Qian played with Ruyi: "This emperor is still a little rational after all. ”

After all, it is a matter in his son's palace, and it is inconvenient for him to interfere with his father-in-law. And a palace concubine who has no heirs, no threats, and only some means is not in his eyes.

Beating the warning is a warning, so why not leave her with some affection?

After the Taiji Pavilion passed down the will, everyone outside the palace had different thoughts, but they all understood what the Emperor Taishang meant.

"The East Palace is stable, even if something happens today, there will be a crown prince to inherit the throne in the future."

In particular, several princes were suppressed, and the younger brother Zhongyong County King was frightened, and he didn't dare to have other thoughts, and concentrated on supporting Situ Yun's rule.

Since his father can't give himself the position of prince, he can only rely on this imperial brother.

Thankfully, it wasn't too late, and he hadn't done anything bad yet. Situ Yun needs to employ people, so he will naturally accept the allegiance of this younger brother.

After the establishment of the reserve, Situ Yun's power was obviously greater. And the emperor who has an heir, the ministers can really rest assured to assist. The previous dynasty was smooth, and Situ Yun began to reward the harem under great joy.

The queen has nothing to seal, but only gives treasures such as gold beads and ruyi.

Wu Guifei has no merit and no fault, and Concubine Xiande gave birth to a princess, which is a great achievement. Situ Yun thought about it, raised the position of Concubine Xiande, and promoted the position of Concubine De to Concubine Shu.

The fourth concubine of Guihui Shude mentioned one, although the distance between him and Wu Guifei is still there, but he has to get rid of the gap with the people behind him. Yuan Chun was relieved, otherwise she would be stuck in Concubine De's position, and others would only step on her if they wanted to be on top. Where is it so easy?

But after she entered the first place, she had more than enough, and her descendants could also choose Concubine De to go up, instead of pressing on top of her head.

Maintaining the third seat in her harem again, Concubine Xiande breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and began to think about how to further move the two above her head.

Concubine Xiande took the throne, and everyone behind was also very happy. But Situ Yun did not canonize them, and only put Wen Xiuyi in the second place of the nine concubines, and Wei Qian received the position of Xiuyi.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Today there is a full honor Wei's, prudent, diligent and supple, sensitive and wise, and courteous. The Empress Dowager combed the system of the court, saved the heirs and was healthy. The canonization ceremony was immediately sealed, and Concubine Ning's title remained unchanged. ”

In the second year of entering the palace, the seal of the concubine was changed, and from the initial Chongyuan, the position of the nine concubines has been halfway through.

Moreover, Wei Qian watched his phoenix qi, and the danfeng once again gave birth to new feathers, shaking like a huge fire sweep. Danfeng spread its wings above his head and roared, and his momentum was even more luxurious than Li Zhaoyuan in front.

"Feng Qi raises people, it seems that my next breakthrough realm will be soon."

Wei Qian thanked him and thought silently. And there were waves in the harem.

Wen Xiuyi heard that Wei Qian gave up the position of Zhaorong to herself, and she was grateful that she would not be evil to Wei Qian. But Deng Zhaoyi and Li Zhaoyuan vaguely felt bad. When it comes to their position, how easy is it to rise step by step? Especially when someone is blocking the road in front of you, what can you do if you don't move the stumbling blocks?

The ending in the hearts of the two concubines, whether they are prepared to suppress each other when they interact with each other. Therefore, I don't care about Bai Su and Shi Qinglan behind Wei Qian, who are at the end of the nine concubines.

And these two tear every day, and now Bai Su is a little higher than Shi Qinglan, I'm afraid it's too late for the two to fight, let alone block the previous ones.

"She is just a widow who has lost her father, what qualifications does she have to be promoted at this time!" Not only Deng Zhaoyi and others, but the queen mother was furious: "Concubine Xian and Concubine Wen have princesses after all, how can she be?" Just because I stayed in Qingning Palace all night? ”

"Humph! Touching my son's light, he actually dared to bewitch His Majesty and pull him into Yongfu Palace. "What's the one thing the queen hates the most? After giving birth, the emperor did not see her, and left directly from Qingning Palace.

Although Situ Yun and the others went to the Emperor Taishang to ask for an explanation, the queen didn't know. In addition, Situ Yun was in Yongfu Palace that night, so he naturally pulled hatred for Wei Qian.

However, at present, although the trees are lush and lush, they are deeply rooted, and with the support of the Queen Mother, even the queen has no choice but to watch Wei Qian rise step by step. This speed is much higher than that of Yuan Chun and the others.

Moreover, the assistant empress dowager manages the court, which is a treatment that neither Yuan Chun nor the others have.

"I need to talk to this sister in the future." Yuan Chun and Wu Guifei thought at the same time and sent someone to congratulate Wei Qian.

Yuan Chun: "My cousin relies on the Queen Mother, plus the secret power of the palace. Together, they should be able to take the lead. And the position of Concubine De is vacant, and she can promise to help her in the future. ”

As a concubine, there are definitely a lot of people eyeing it at present.

Wu Guifei said secretly: "If we can join forces with Concubine Xiande and this Concubine Ning, it should be no problem for the three of us to overthrow the queen, right?" Especially at present, the position of Concubine De is vacant, as long as it is operated properly, let Wei Qian sit in this position. We are all noble queens again. By the way, let my father contact Jiafu. Concubine Xian's younger brother seems to be about to reach the age of blind date? There is also the Wei family, although Concubine Ning's younger brother is younger, he is similar in age to the third sister, so he may be able to ......"

Everyone made their own calculations, and after Wei Qian received the order, he asked about the situation in Jiafu.

In addition to canonizing the Six Palaces, Situ Yun also praised Jia Yu's father and son, especially Jia Lian, who was mentioned in the official position of the Imperial Historical Tower. To the outside world, Ming Huanghuang is cultivating as Situ Yun's descendant.

"Emperor Taishang's decentralization this time is already a show of support for Situ Yun. What the emperor has to do next should be to go to one of the six departments to plan slowly. ”

"Among the six departments, it is impossible for the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households to let go at this time. Only the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites is already Situ Yun's person, and the Ministry of Punishment has the checks and balances of Dali Temple, which is of little significance. So, Situ Yun's target should be the Ministry of Industry? ”

Wei Qian has been in the palace for more than a year, and in addition to the fact that Midway Island invited someone to teach him how to govern the country, he secretly guessed that Situ Yun would lay out the layout of the court in the future.

ordered Hongchun to summon Jia Mei into the palace.

"Invite your mother into the palace, and the palace will tell her to let Cousin Jia Lian develop towards the Ministry of Industry in the future. And Jia Yucun, it's time for this chess piece to move. The Xue family also needs to take advantage of it, you ask your mother to go back and ask to see what the Xue family is planning for this draft. ”
