Empress Zhang, who has seen through the world, of course knows that this is a hateful errand, and those concubines who are about to be buried, which one is not a beautiful life!

Now her husband Zhu Gaochi has just hurriedly announced his ascension to the throne, and she has not yet held a formal enthronement ceremony, and she, the queen, has not yet been officially canonized, of course she doesn't want to offend too many people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, the condition of having an heir is easy to judge, but the status is honorable, and this is more subtle.

There are some concubines with low status, but their mother's family is more close to the princelings, and of course Empress Zhang has to repay the favor now and find a reason to excuse them.

In order to be cautious, she asked the crown princess Sun Lingwei to help her choose.

Sun Lingwei has been very respected in the Prince's Mansion in the past two years, and Zhang Cuiyun naturally sees it in his eyes.

At this time, Sun Lingwei looked at the preliminary list of martyrs drawn up by Empress Zhang, and suddenly, he asked suspiciously: "Queen Mother, this, this drawn up list, I'm afraid that it will bring some disasters to the Queen Mother, right?" ”

"Ah, this palace is already so careful, how can there be any trouble?"

When Empress Zhang heard this, she hurriedly and cautiously re-examined the list.

"Queen Mother, I just found out that the number of people on the list feels a little too small, isn't it a little shabby. The queen mother has just ascended to the throne of the queen, and she definitely doesn't want others to gossip about you. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Lingwei analyzed to Empress Zhang with concern: "Because, many concubines before the emperor have passed away before him. After that, the emperor was busy with state affairs and did not enrich the harem, so his funeral concubines were originally few, if you are like this, the number of martyrs is too small, is it a bit non-compliant? Others will say, the new queen, is not filial enough to the emperor? ”

"Yes, what Wei'er said is that there are really not many concubines who can be buried by the emperor now. Many of those concubines above the rank are relatives of the emperor, such as Zhang Guifei, the sister of the British princess, although she has no heirs, her status is honorable, and it is impossible to go to the funeral. As for the two North Korean mothers, Concubine Han Shu and Concubine Huang Ning, I also have my considerations. ”

Empress Zhang said in her heart: "Concubine Huang Ning and Concubine Han Shu were personally selected by the king of North Korea, and I heard that in North Korea, their father is also highly respected and is considered to be from a famous family. These two girls, who have always been naïve and scheming in the palace, are a year younger than Wei'er and you, and they should not be included in the funeral ranks out of foreign etiquette, so it is best to inform the king of Korea and bring them back. It can also be regarded as a merit. This is actually what the emperor meant. ”

"Queen Mother, are you sure that the emperor will really send Concubine Han Shu and Concubine Huang Ning back to their home country?" Sun Ling asked quickly.

"Why, Wei'er, you don't even believe your father?" Empress Zhang suddenly said with some doubts.

Sun Ling was slightly stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Queen Mother, Concubine Han Shu and Concubine Huang Ning, but the emperor's most favored concubines during his lifetime, if you bear to let them separate yin and yang, even if the world doesn't blame you, your father will blame you." ”

"That's weird, haven't the two of them always been good friends with you? Why did you encourage me to bury them? ”

Empress Zhang suddenly felt a little vigilant.

"The queen mother doesn't know."

Sun Ling rolled his eyes slightly and whispered:

"I was originally good with those two Korean mothers, but later I found out that during several emperor's family banquets, their eyes were peeking at the prince's father-in-law. I guess they are proud of their youth and beauty, thinking that the emperor is old after all, and he has long been eyeing the future new emperor, so they ...... Especially during today's wake, I saw that those two people were in front of the spirit of the emperor's grandfather, openly frowning, which is really worrying......"

Speaking of this, looking at Zhang Cuiyun's nervous expression, Sun Lingwei pretended to be understated and said: "Wei'er is only from the perspective of caring about the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor, maybe caring is messy, and it is possible to misunderstand the two North Korean mothers." ”

At this time, where could Empress Zhang still sit still, and she involuntarily scolded in her mouth: "Ah, there is such a thing!" This damn vixen! ”

Zhang Cuiyun recalled several family banquets at this time, and felt that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi really liked to peek at the two innocent North Korean mothers at that time.

When she mourned this time, she remembered that Zhu Gaochi specially asked Ma Yun to take care of the two North Korean mothers and send them ginger soup.

"Okay, you dead fat man, you forgot how you came to be the crown prince, you forgot how you sat firmly in this position, until you ascended the throne today! Now that the emperor's throne has not yet been secured, he is thinking about beauty. This palace doesn't give you a reminder, I'm afraid you don't know how powerful. ”

So, Empress Zhang added the names of Concubine Han Shu and Concubine Huang Ning to the list of martyrs.

At this time, Sun Ling smiled.

After she obediently saluted Queen Zhang, she suddenly made a gesture of affection and righteousness, and said with red eyes:

"Queen Mother, after all, the two North Korean mothers have a good relationship with me, Wei'er values feelings the most, although they seduce their father, damn it, but Wei'er still goes to visit them, so that they die without regrets. In the future, when you report to the king of Joseon, you can also tell the DPRK that we have treated the two ladies as courteously as possible. ”

"Wei'er not only attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but also is so comprehensive, the queen mother has you, everything is relieved."

Empress Zhang agreed without thinking.

At this time, Emperor Yongle's longevity clothes, Zi Palace, had already been prepared, and all the funeral agendas were arranged in an orderly manner.

Only wait for the most important procedure of the funeral - the funeral of the concubine to be carried out.

The event was hosted by Jack Ma.

All the chosen concubines, dressed up and symbolically eating the Last Supper, were introduced into a palace called "Joan of Arc".

The "Joan of Arc Hall" was empty, only rows of small wooden beds.

As soon as they saw this empty room and a simple little bed, all the concubines knew that this would be their final destination.

Some people chanted silently, and some were already frightened, like walking corpses.

At this time, a miserable cry shook the palace.

In the evening, the auspicious time for martyrdom has arrived.

The palace concubines were sent to the small wooden beds specially made in the palace in turn.

The eunuchs pressed their heads and necks into the ferrules of the ribbons, then pulled the wooden beds, and in the fierce struggle they stopped breathing, and hung like pheasants with long necks.

Concubine Han Shu and Concubine Huang Ning looked at the unknown sisters who died in front of them, and they were so frightened that they were delirious.

"Sister, I don't want to die. I'm so scared to die like this. The tongue sticks out so long, it's so ugly. I really want people from my home country to come and save us. ”

Concubine Han Shu leaned tightly on Concubine Huang Ning's arms, and scratched Concubine Huang Ning's hands with both hands. (To be continued.) )
