Chapter 146
Because of the insistence of Emperor Tianhe, the next thing became logical, and the will of the celebrant was issued, which first set off a big storm in the palace.
Queen Feng was drinking medicine, Mama Jiang was waiting, after the will of the celebrant came down, Feng did not have a surprised expression, Yu Guifei and Concubine Shu, who were sitting under the queen, were drinking tea, Concubine Shu couldn't hold back for a while, and said:
"The emperor is really confused, inexplicably recognized a son from outside the palace and came back, and he wants to be crowned the eldest prince, but have you ever taken your sister and His Royal Highness King Su to heart? Have you ever wondered how you feel? ”
Since that holy decree came down, Feng Yu is no longer the eldest prince, so Concubine Shu had no choice but to call him His Royal Highness King Su, and Concubine Yu on the side was calm, took a sip of tea, and said:
"It's not just my feelings, isn't His Royal Highness King Fu also going to become the third prince?"
Concubine Shu's gorgeous lips hooked a smile, and said indifferently:
"Compared with from one to two, there is no difference between our Royal Highness King Fu, and my sister doesn't need to hold it up, if you have any grievances, just say it, and tell it to the queen mother and the sisters, it's better than being suffocated alone."
Yu Guifei's face changed, and the other concubines in the palace also glanced at each other, Concubine Shu's meaning was clear, His Royal Highness King Fu was just from the second prince to the third prince, but His Royal Highness King Su changed from the eldest prince to the second prince, and after a hundred years of the emperor, it was more likely that the eldest prince would ascend the throne, and His Royal Highness King Su should be the most anxious person, originally he was the first heir, but suddenly inexplicably demoted to people, became the second in line, and there was one more person in front, And this person has obviously become the emperor's treasure, now that the rice has become a cook, it is not so easy to get rid of the fear, this is like a person who has been hungry for a long time, there is a fragrant and big piece of fat in front of him, this fat meat should have been his turn to eat, but suddenly the owner transferred the fat meat to another person, this kind of difference is enough to be fatal.
There is only a difference between Yu Guifei and Concubine Shu, and the fighting method between the two is not uncommon in the palace, but both of them gave birth to a prince, His Royal Highness King Su is still Wen, and His Royal Highness King Fu is martial, although King Su is older, but in the end it is not as good as His Royal Highness King Fu who has made military achievements, therefore, Concubine Shu is also fearless in the harem, what to say, not to save face for Yu Guifei at all.
And this time, it is difficult for Concubine Yu to vent, after all, this is the emperor's will, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, these women in the harem have always only obeyed orders, where can there be room for beaks, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if the emperor's behavior is wrong, it is not their turn for these women to say, there are officials above the court to admonish.
Concubine Shu fought against Concubine Yu, returned victorious, and pointed the finger at Queen Feng, asking:
"The queen mother knows about His Royal Highness the eldest prince, I heard that he was once a top three, so talented, but we were lonely and unheard of in the past."
Feng Shi finished drinking the medicine, and Mama Jiang waited for her to lie crooked on the Luohan bed, leaning on a large pillow with peony entwined branches under her elbows, and glanced at Concubine Shu, and then shook her head with a gentle smile and said:
"I've heard of it, but I didn't expect him to be the emperor's ......"
Concubine Shu stood up noncommittally when she heard this, her gorgeous dress dragged behind, extravagant, combing the palace makeup according to the product, and the golden scales swayed with her movements, swaying vividly.
When he came to Feng's face, he looked at it with a smile, and then said, "It's not that I said, you, the queen, are really confused. The emperor didn't want to discuss such a big matter with you. ”
Concubine Shu had something to say, and she was also bullying Feng's weakness, so she dared to say it, but she saw Feng really smiled gently and said:
"I was originally confused, and my sister didn't know."
Concubine Yu interjected at the right time and said, "But, how did I hear that the queen summoned this new champion that day?" Isn't there something hidden from our sisters? ”
Everyone in this harem knows that the queen mother is really soft, as long as it does not involve such a major event as the reputation of the court, she will not be angry when she says anything, so she has developed the habit of harem concubines speaking without scruples.
Feng coughed lightly twice, and then covered his lips with a handkerchief and said to Yu Guifei: "Where did my sister hear the news, is it from my Yuqing Palace?" ”
Concubine Yu's face changed, and she stopped talking.
It is a felony to inquire privately in the harem, but with the queen's words, the concubines present also understood that the queen mother was afraid that she had known about it for a long time, but she didn't tell them. Otherwise, with the character of the queen, how could she not clarify.
"We don't dare to inquire about the affairs of Yuqing Palace, but I also heard that the champion of the new department is the eldest son of Shen Yeyan, the Duke of Dingguo, but I don't know that he has turned into a great prince, and it seems that he really has some talent."
Speaking is now the most favored concubine, slender figure, thirty-eight years old, just like the branches blooming Qionghua, delicate and gorgeous, she is the granddaughter of the first assistant, only two years into the palace to sleep, suddenly jumped from the beauty to one of the four concubines, these years of holy grace, no wonder she is a little pampered, speaking a little more arrogant.
Hearing her words, the queen didn't say anything, she has always been tired of fighting with them, tempting, just glanced at Concubine Xian, then lowered her eyes and didn't speak, but Concubine Shu has long been unaccustomed to the tail of the crane of Concubine Xian, and she relied on herself to give birth to a second prince, the mother is expensive by her son, and she has to ridicule Concubine Xian a few words on weekdays, and this time is no exception.
Said:
"What does Concubine Xian mean by this, what if you have talent to learn, and what if you don't have talent?"
Concubine Xian hooked her lips and glanced at Concubine Shu, twisted her waist without speaking, and returned to her seat.
"Alright, that's all for today."
Empress Feng coughed twice, then asked Mama Jiang to help her up, accepted the salute of the concubines, and then coughed lightly into the inner room.
After the concubines walked out of the Yuqing Palace, they walked to their respective palaces, and in the flowery imperial garden, Concubine Shu blocked Concubine Xian's way, hooked her lips, and said to Concubine Xian:
"My sister praised this great prince in front of the queen before, but I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of the queen."
Concubine Xian's red lips hooked and said, "My sister doesn't understand what my sister means by this. I just praised him in passing, how could I make the queen dissatisfied? ”
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows: "Why is she dissatisfied, how can my sister not know?" Although this eldest prince is the emperor's treasure, but after all, he is a motherless child, Hengzhi me and Yu Guifei have children, and the virtuous concubine's sister has not come out for so many years, who can hide this thought? ”
“……”
Concubine Xian listened to Concubine Shu's words, her face changed, she had been in the palace for so many years, and she was most annoyed that others were talking about her childlessness under her knees, and she couldn't help but say in a prickly voice:
"My sister's words are really incomprehensible. What does my sister have to do with me praising the eldest prince for many years? And what does it have to do with the queen's anger? Niangniang has no evidence, don't guess. ”
Concubine Shu understood Concubine Xian's intentions, and didn't seem to mind that she didn't admit it, hooked her lips and rubbed shoulders with her, stretched out her cardamom red and tender palm, pressed it on Concubine Xian's shoulder, and said intimately:
"I'm just reminding you. Haven't you seen the things that have been sent into the Deyang Palace like flowing water these days, this is a veritable emperor's treasure, we are just some things, how can we compare with the heir? Sometimes, you always have to weigh your own pounds, eggs touch stones, don't make chickens fly eggs when the time comes, only to know that you regret it. ”
Concubine Shu's words were obviously satirizing Concubine Xian's favor, Concubine Xian was naturally unhappy when she heard it, secretly pinched her fists, her nails sank into the flesh, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"I don't need my sister to worry about these things, it's not too early, and my sister will leave first."
After saying this, Concubine Xian took advantage of the action of bending her knees and blessing her body, broke away from Concubine Shu's palm, took the palace maid, and hurriedly walked to her sedan chair.
*****
Because of Shen Xi's matter, Emperor Tianhe issued an order to seal the palace gate and forbid officials and dependents to hand over folds into the palace, which was to be solved behind closed doors.
The court has also gone crazy these days, and all kinds of opposition voices have come one after another, and the imperial historian pointed out that Shen Xi was not unclear, saying that the emperor's heir is a big matter, and he should join in this disorder, which is really against the ancestral teachings, if the emperor insists on going his own way, he will touch the pillar and die in this Jinluan Palace.
In the face of such a strong persuasion from the ministers, Emperor Tianhe not only did not flinch, but stepped forward and kicked the imperial history, Long Yan was furious, and for the sake of the imperial history, he said 'not unknown', so he put the imperial history into the prison for the crime of bullying the above, and the clan was guilty of the same crime, waiting to be released.
The imperial history shouted to the heavens and the earth, bluntly said that the heavens were unfair, the emperor's heart was unfair, but he couldn't stop the action of being escorted down, although the ministers still had objections in their hearts, but no one dared to speak to the emperor of heaven and emperor in the court, some of the courtiers who had concubines in the family had the heart to find out the root cause of this matter through the harem, but the emperor of heaven and emperor had already taken precautions and closed the palace door in advance, so that those courtiers could not hand in if they had the heart to hand over the folds, completely blocking their Xiao Qiang's assistance.
The name of the eldest prince was established in this chaos.
Because Zongmiao has recognized his identity, and there are records in Zongren's Mansion, from now on, there will be no eldest son of Dingguo Gongfu, only the eldest prince Feng Xuan.
This shift stunned everyone. However, because of the fate of the imperial history as a warning, although there is injustice among the ministers, as long as it is not a few people who are guilty of the shaft, it is still a warning for other officials.
After a few days of trouble, order gradually returned to the DPRK and China. And the eldest prince Feng Xuan was only given a name canonized, and did not follow the title of king, although the ministers were unhappy, but they did not dare to say more, and the matter of sealing Xuan was decided.
