Chapter 785: Harem
The matter of the harem is not just a matter of competing for favor, and immediately there are ministers in the court, saying that the country cannot be without a queen for a day.
In fact, to put it simply, it is just that these ministers have reached a consensus in private that there must be a queen in the harem so that someone can suppress Concubine Wu, and it is justifiable to suppress Concubine Wu.
Li Meiren let the Empress Dowager ground, naturally the Li Mansion was dissatisfied, Lord Li has been an official in the court for many years, and after the rectification of the new emperor before, he can still stand, in addition to the Li family's Qingming, there is also a point that the Li family has many protégés.
Li Meiren fell out of favor in the harem, which naturally made Lord Li dissatisfied, and her daughter also grew up with a lot of favors.
Sent to the palace to serve the emperor, not to let other concubines be cheap. Therefore, Lord Li immediately became a good friend of the Li family, and together he asked for the queen.
With the queen's harem, there is a person who presides over the overall situation, even if the queen mother has no obvious favoritism to help Concubine Wu, but in the end it is a family. Maybe the Empress Dowager's unbiased attitude is helping Concubine Wu!
And none of the concubines sent to the palace by each family are favored, and none of them want to lose a daughter in vain. Usually sent to the palace, they are all carefully trained daughters of various prefectures, so they will not enter the palace, and marrying into other families is also a help to the mother's family.
It's like this, although it's in the palace, but don't help your mother's family, it's good not to worry about your mother's family.
Although the new emperor governs the country strictly, who has no small calculations in his heart, the gap between those who are favored in this harem and those who are not favored is naturally different.
If you can win the emperor's favor in the harem, you can naturally help your mother's family in the previous dynasty. At least the emperor was a little polite to his mother's family.
is like Wu Guogong's mansion, although his status is high, Wu Guogong is highly respected. is low-key and does not make trouble, and the prince of Wu Guo will not enter the office, but Wu Guogong's mansion is now in front of the emperor, which must be related to Concubine Wu's favor.
But everyone who sent their daughter into the palace wanted to invite the queen to break the situation of the harem concubine being the sole favor. It's a pity that the provinces sent it to ask for the queen's excerpts,
The emperor just glanced at it. Just ignore it. And then he left a sentence in the early dynasty, the affairs of the harem are all my housework,
Outsiders don't have to meddle. All the ministers at the top of this sentence were speechless. And it is. The emperor himself is not in a hurry, what are the others in a hurry?
Could it be that someone dares to stand up and say that I am going to take care of the emperor's guest affairs? No one dares, it's those old ministers from before. Now I am afraid of this new emperor.
The new emperor finished cleaning up the officialdom in Jiangnan. At this time, someone heard the rumor that the emperor was investigating the ministers of Beijing who colluded with Wang Min in Jiangnan.
At the same time, the firearms battalion of the military department was also subject to the emperor's secret investigation. The artillery in Xie Long's hands is absolutely impossible for him to make by himself, so it is related to the firearms battalion and the military department.
Who is Xie Long's secret person, or who accepted Xie Long's benefits and sold all the emperor's artillery to the anti-traitor. The emperor must find out.
This seemingly peaceful officialdom in the capital will not be peaceful. And all the officials in the DPRK and China who understand it know it. The emperor didn't want to let the officials in the capital go, but some people didn't open their eyes, they wanted to provoke Concubine Wu, and they wanted to touch the emperor's scales, isn't this looking for death?
Then the emperor must find something to do for the ministers, otherwise these ministers will be idle and panicked, and they will definitely have to keep an eye on the emperor's backyard.
Will the emperor be the kind of lord who is at the mercy of others? Naturally not!
Lord Wu can see that if you want to mix in the officialdom, don't send your daughter to the harem. The riches are not something that everyone can bear.
Besides, the emperor only has Concubine Wu in his heart, and the harem concubines can't compete with Concubine Wu by themselves, and they want to make trouble in the previous dynasty, I'm afraid it will make the emperor even more disgusted!
Sure enough, after the next dynasty, before the hundred officials left the palace, they heard that the emperor ordered the prince to beat the harem concubines.
As for the content of the beating, it is needless to say that everyone understands it in their hearts. And the inner guards guarding the five gates in the palace, the emperor also ordered the king to change another batch.
This is not to prevent the harem concubines from sending letters to the mother's family outside the palace, but anything that goes out of the palace must not pass through the five gates.
No matter which way you go, you have to pass under the king's command. And Commander Wang married Concubine Wu's favorite palace maid, so Commander Wang will definitely not let others buy him.
must be loyal to Concubine Wu. In this way, if the palaces want to secretly send something out, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Concubine Wu doesn't pay attention to these things, Nangong Ming can't handle this matter well, then it's not Nangong Ming.
It seems that these ministers still don't know much about Nangong Ming, thinking that Nangong Ming is the emperor in the past, and he will listen to the advice of everyone, or he will be forced to submit to the pressure of the ministers, which is impossible.
How much pressure the ministers of the previous dynasty put on Nangong Ming, Nangong Ming would return the pressure one by one, and it was so raw that people couldn't make mistakes.
Qing Yan left the palace early in the morning, and Concubine Wu sent a rich reward to let Qing Yan out of the palace, and personally sent it outside the five gates. Looking at the thick palace gate, Concubine Wu knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to get out in this life, but fortunately, Qingyan could go out.
Qing Yan was dressed in gorgeous and elegant clothes, which was made by Concubine Wu herself in the needlework room in the palace.
Today early and deliberately ordered someone to dress up Qingyan, Qingyan was a little embarrassed, but Concubine Wu insisted that she wanted Qingyan to leave the palace in a beautiful way and go out decently. Qingyan will no longer refuse, with such a good master, what else can Qingyan say?
Looking at the king commander who had been waiting for Qing Yan outside the palace gate, Concubine Wu smiled slightly and took Qing Yan's hand: "Qing Yan, you must be happy, but if you are wronged, just enter the palace and ask the palace to be the master, this palace will always be your mother's family!" ”
Concubine Wu's sentence is more than a thousand words, and after Concubine Wu's words, what are you afraid of in the future? The small bridge and flowing water beside Concubine Wu are more determined in their hearts, and they still serve Concubine Wu well, and Concubine Wu will treat the two of them no worse than Qingyan in the future.
There were tears in the corners of Qing Yan's eyes, but there was a happy look on his face, "Qing Yan, thank you Concubine Wu." ”
Flowing Water took out the handkerchief, stepped forward and carefully pressed the corners of his eyes for Qing Yan, and his face was a little reluctant, "Sister Qing Yan, don't cry, is the king still waiting outside?" If the makeup is spent, we will all be busy in vain. ”
Qing Yan smiled and nodded, looking at Concubine Wu, who was peerless in the wind, Qing Yan suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times seriously. "Niangniang, Qingyan is gone!"
After speaking, he didn't look back and walked towards the gate of the palace, and the king outside saw that his daughter-in-law finally came out of the deep palace, and finally could live a small life with him, and he could see each other every day, and his heart was beautiful! looked at Concubine Wu within the palace wall, arched her hand, and looked grateful.
Concubine Wu smiled and watched as Commander Wang took Qing Yan's hand, and the two slowly waved to Concubine Wu, and then left the palace. Xiaoqiao saw that Concubine Wu was sad, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be sad, Niangniang, Sister Qingyan will still come to the palace to see you." ”
Concubine Wu ignored it, just looked at the palace gate, and said to herself: "Go out and don't come back!" (To be continued......)
