Chang'an looks back at the pile of embroidery, the top of the mountain thousands of doors open one after another -- although the Nanjing palace does not have the grandeur of the thousands of palaces in the area of the Tang Huaqing Palace, but naturally it is also majestic and solemn and luxurious, but the capital has been moved for a long time, and the courtyard is cold, although last year also sent additional people to paint and decorate, but it has not been popular for a long time, and it is inevitably a little bleak.

Several officials and maidens held boxes in their hands, half-hunched, and paced in the direction of the Chunhe Palace, and the only lively place in this silent and huge palace opened the door for them one after another. Several lieutenants and palace maids greeted them and took them into the splendid inner hall.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for thinking about it." Xu Xun had already changed out of his filial piety clothes and wore a green silk shirt skirt suitable for the early autumn weather, "It's only been a long time, and I sent someone to give me snacks." ”

Indeed, this box looks simple and simple, but in fact, it is 'a water room in Guazhou, Beijing', which was transported from the capital to Nanjing by water, and specially rewarded to Xu Xun for the seasonal dim sum in Beijing. The oncoming female doctor Shi Nan smiled, "This is a reward from the Queen Mother." ”

The queen mother came to send it to someone, Xu Xun can be a little lazy - after all, they are good sisters. The queen mother sent someone to reward, Xu Xun didn't dare to hold it up, so she was busy tidying up her clothes, and thanked her uprightly from the north, before she got up and sat down and talked to the southern doctor.

did not go to Beijing for the funeral at the first time, mainly because Xu Xun was 'sick' again after all the dust settled, because of the hard work and pressure these days. Besides, if you want to go to Beijing, you have to find a few lieutenant officials and yamen left behind in Nanjing to handle it, and Nanjing is in chaos, and I don't know who to go to for a while. simply recuperated in the Chunhe Palace, instead of returning to Beijing on a starry night to put on linen and filial piety for Emperor Daxing.

In fact, it can't be said that he is pretending to be sick, Xu Xun hasn't slept well for a while, and he does have a fever and weakness for a few days after peace of mind, but this kind of pressure sickness, probably after the heart is relaxed, it doesn't hurt to recuperate for a few more days. It's just that Xu Cairen doesn't have such a devout filial piety and virtuous heart for the heavenly family at this time, thinking of those endless crying and kneeling etiquette, he simply pushed the boat down the river and stayed in bed for a few more days. At this time, Ma Shi and others had already sent the news of her illness to Beijing, so the emperor ordered her to recuperate in Nanjing, sent the maids to take care of her, and ordered Liu Zhien to bring an edict, which naturally contained a lot of words of encouragement.

Changing the yuan is a big deal, and it will definitely be busy for two or three months in a row, Xu Xun doesn't expect the emperor to write to her or anything, and she is quite satisfied if she can get an edict to know that she has not been forgotten. Although it is boring to live in the Spring Harmony Hall and not be able to go out at will, it is still worth it because you can avoid the endless kneeling.

Nan Yipo sent a reward this time, in fact, there is also a mission to make up for Xu Xun's body, the Son of Heaven has been filial piety for the twenty-seventh day, and the day before yesterday has been removed. Xu Xun and the others didn't have any reason to continue to abide by the system, just be careful not to dress too brightly. The palace people who served beside them were also stained, and they didn't have to wear the white plain clothes, but now they were all dressed in green and brown jackets, and they could also follow the masters to eat some meat minced meat.

"It's just that I'm too worried about it for a while." After checking Xu Xun's pulse, Nan Yipo came to a conclusion, "Medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as heart." As long as you can put less effort into it and move more, you will be able to get better in a few months. ”

"That's what Imperial Doctor Liao said." Grandma Sun talked to Nan Yipo on the side, "It's that our nobles are just too heavy in their minds a while ago-"

"Are you still called a nobleman?" Nan Yi smiled, "It's time to change your words." ”

After the emperor ascended the throne, the identities of Xu Xun and others naturally rose to the top, the rules in the palace, the prince and the grandson palace, except for the concubine, there was no mother, and the emperor's side was different, even if it was just a beauty, as long as she was favored, she would still be a certain mother. Although the original crown princess has not yet been canonized - the edict has not yet been issued, but everyone has called her the queen's mother, in the same way, although Xu Xun has not been canonized, she can already be called the mother according to the palace practice.

Grandma Sun glanced at Xu Xun and said with a smile, "Our noble man said that he hasn't been canonized yet, so it's not good to cross the rules and scream casually." ”

Nan Yi's face couldn't help but show a look of approval, "In the past, when I went north with the nobles, I knew that the nobles were cautious, and their achievements in the future should be limitless. Now I really expected it. ”

Although the official has not yet expressed his position on Xu Xun's actions in Nanjing, who is not a person with a bit of status in the palace who is not bright-eyed? For a while, not to mention that Mama Sun and other close attendants were beaming, even the messenger from Beijing had a much more respectful and affectionate attitude towards Xu Xun than before. Nan Yifu is a close person around the Queen Mother, and there must still be this kind of look.

Xu Xun himself was a little pampered and not surprised, and when he heard Nan Yiwei's praise, he just smiled slightly, "It's too awarded, I can't stand it......"

She changed the topic, "It's strange and lonely to live alone in Nanjing, I don't know what the doctor thinks, when can I leave to go back to the north?" If I go back now, maybe I can catch up with Emperor Daxing's Qiqi, and I can also do a little filial piety. ”

Everyone showed more and more admiration and emotion, praised Xu Xun's pure filial piety, and was so polite to each other, Nan Yi's wife said, "Your nobleman should rest for a few more days, and it is not too late to leave when you feel that you are well, so as not to be tired from the journey, if you sit down and get sick, it will not be good." ”

In other words, Nan Yipo handed over the time of departure to Xu Xun to arrange it herself. Thinking about it even deeper, she also vaguely said: Xu Xun is a little suspicious of pretending to be sick, she knows it well, but she won't debunk it......

Xu Xun is not worried that Nan Yipo will play with the Queen Mother, the two have been together for a few years, and she is still very relieved about Nan Yipo's behavior. She smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to take care of it." ”

Nan Yimai couldn't help laughing. "The noble man is really calm, and he is not in a hurry at all."

That night, Mama Zhao, who came down with the ship to serve Xu Xun, told Xu Xun about the new things in the palace - although it was far away, the news Xu Xun did not fall at all. "It's already time to finish the funeral...... This time it was better than that of Emperor Wen, Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Zhang Jing were not martyred. ”

Emperor Daxing went too suddenly, and he is full of suspicions until now, and there are all kinds of explanations. Even the reason for this, including the prince Weishenme, who rushed to the capital in secret, was not announced, and the so-called abolition of the funeral was not seen in the edict. Xu Xun had already given up the idea of abolishing the funeral, and now he heard that in addition to the daughter of the Zhang family, there was one more life, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Mama Zhao said again, "Concubine Li Xian doesn't need to say it, you also know that you have been sick since before you went south, and when Emperor Daxing died, he was so sick that he couldn't get up. The Queen Mother also wants to fulfill the filial piety of King Zheng, King Huai and the eldest princess of Zhending. ”

To put it bluntly, I want to win the hearts of the two older princes, King Zheng and King Huai. Xu Xun nodded.

"As for Concubine Zhang Jing," Mama Zhao sighed, "That's the girl of the Zhang family, so naturally she is citing the old precedent." ”

Concubine Zhang Jingfei's aunt, Concubine Zhang Gui, is the daughter of Yixun, and she was not martyred, and Concubine Zhang Jingfei herself was diligent and prudent in serving the Queen Mother, so it was natural not to be martyred. Xu Xun was concerned about another matter, "Concubine Li Xian was not martyred, could it be that Concubine Guo Guifei was really martyred?" ”

Speaking of which, Guo Guifei even has the share of Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Zhang Jing, and she has a son, but she is all filial piety, and she is the daughter of the old man, and she is still after the founding fathers. The title of Marquis of Wuding came much earlier than the British Duke's family. Besides, the rank is also high......

"Martyred." Mama Zhao said affirmatively. "Except for Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Zhang Jing, all the famous ones were martyred - but you also know that one of them had already died, and the new ones had not been selected, and the harem was empty, so they went to five. The original yellow beauty, Wang Zhaorong ......"

Indeed, when Emperor Daxing was the crown prince, the reduction of the harem was more powerful. There are many people who died when they were involved in the Yulu Rebellion, and there were also people who usually gave birth and died of illness, and this time they went to the draft before they had time, so the number of martyrs was a lot less.

Xu Xun didn't have much interest in others - the people she knew were dying as early as Emperor Wen, she was surprised by Guo Guifei's funeral, and after thinking for a long time, she sighed, "Guo Guifei is really a pity." ”

Mama Qian, who came to serve her early, interjected disapprerovingly, "Pampered and arrogant, can't be respected, it's really short-sighted, and this end is already doomed." Blame, it's to blame Emperor Daxing for going suddenly, and he couldn't add a stroke to her in the edict. ”

Generally speaking, before the emperor dies, there is an opportunity to leave a testament, at that time there are not only the emperor in the palace, the harem concubines, but also the historians, ministers, etc., if Guo Guifei can let the emperor Daxing say a word to her before he dies, no one can cover the last words, not only does she not have to be buried, but she can also enjoy the filial piety of the emperor in the future - no matter how much the emperor likes her, filial piety is an example for the world, but it can not be flawed. It can only be said that after thousands of calculations, Guo Guifei missed the opportunity for Emperor Daxing's violent pawn. Of course, there is also a high possibility that she didn't think so deeply about it at all......

Xu Xun thought about Guo Guifei's voice and smile, and only sighed in a daze for a while.

"What if you have a pet, a child, or a background," she said, "and you haven't ended up being forced to surrender?" ”

She said to the three grandmothers present, "Right now, in the Nanjing Palace, they are all our own close people, and there is a saying, I won't hide it from the grandmothers." ”

Several grandmothers listened to Xu Xun's tone and knew that what she was about to say was very important, so they all put down what they were doing and gathered around Xu Xun. Xu Xun took a deep breath and said slowly while pondering.

"They are all their own people, and they don't shy away from saying it, this time when they return to Beijing, they have to be promoted to the position of concubine. Even if I fall out of favor in the future, have a concubine to protect myself, and am an old man in the palace, as long as the emperor is alive for a day, I will have to live a good life......" she sighed, "It's just that people's hearts are long-lived, and no matter how much love is strong, I don't want to be martyred." I also ask you to brainstorm with me, and we will think about what we should do in the days to come if we are not willing to be martyred. ”

This question immediately silenced the whole room, everyone look at me, I look at you, and no one answered for a while.

When Xu Xun asked his cronies, there were also people in the imperial palace in Beijing discussing the guidelines and policies for a period of time in the future.

"In the past two years, the regime has changed too often." Empress Dowager Zhang kneading the bridge of her nose tiredly, "In terms of state affairs, let's be calm and calm, don't act rashly...... The ministers left by Emperor Wen to your father are all your teachers, so ask the teachers for their opinions when you encounter problems......"

Emperor Daxing went suddenly, summoned the ministers before leaving, and left the words of "entrusting the empress with national affairs", if the emperor is not in his twenties this year, the queen mother is a legitimate thing. Even now, when she asks about political affairs, she is very justifiable, and even the cabinet ministers are used to respecting the opinions of the Queen Mother.

Fortunately, the mother and son did not have too many contradictions in their political positions and opinions, and the emperor said respectfully, "Yes, my son is now worried about the Warat ...... on the border."

"I just got beaten and my vitality was badly damaged." The Queen Mother didn't care about the authentic and said, "It's less than a year, and it can't stir up many storms." ”

She paused, glanced at her son, and said meaningfully, "What you should pay attention to now is the ...... of Hebei and Shandong."

The emperor groaned, "Hebei is fine, it's right under my nose, and Shandong is ......."

"You have also seen the secret report sent by Jinyi Wei today." The Queen Mother said lightly, "It is really creepy to make people ambush inside and outside Texas, and their intentions are really creepy!" ”

From the land into Beijing, Dezhou is the only way, even if you don't enter the city, you must pass by the post house under the rule of Dezhou Mansion, the mind of the King of Han is simply outrageous. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor immediately entered Beijing after receiving the secret report, the emperor's illness and death were well blocked, and at the same time, everyone was convinced that the crown prince was sick in Nanjing, and the Han king was unsuspecting that the emperor would have made this time difference, and it was really difficult to say whether he could pass through Dezhou safely - if he couldn't pass through Dezhou safely, it would be difficult to say what the overall situation of the world would be now.

The queen mother is okay, after all, she still has a son, but the emperor himself only has one life, how can he have less jealousy of the Han King in his heart than anyone else? It's just that the overall situation is important, even if the king of Han is anti-minded, as long as he doesn't oppose it, it is inconvenient for the court to use swords and soldiers. He sighed, "For now, we can only be on guard first, the treasury is empty, and we really can't afford to fight, so it can drag on for a while." ”

The Queen Mother nodded appreciatively and changed the topic, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and many things can't be rushed...... Now that it's gone, you can also seal the harem. Since he is already the emperor, there is no need to keep any filial piety, and it is true to have children as soon as possible. I have already said hello to the Hu family, and the show girls who were selected to enter the palace before are not dismissed, so it is okay to enrich the harem directly for you......"

When she was about to make arrangements again, when she saw that her son wanted to speak and stopped, her heart couldn't help but move, "How-"

The emperor hesitated for a while before he said, "Mother, when I chose a concubine for my son in the past, I made it clear that it was the Sun family, and even Ah Weng nodded. It's just that the old man was confused later, and a Hu family came out. Whether it's me or my father, this concubine in my heart has always been the Sun family's ......"

The Queen Mother was taken aback, she didn't know what to think for a while, she was stable for a long time, and even the emperor's words didn't understand a little, she blinked desperately, and after a while, she interrupted the emperor's words.

"Say no more!" The Queen Mother's words were firm. "The jade girl is wronged, I am also distressed, but the name is established, and it may change day and night! The concubine can't be the queen, the world knows, do you have any thoughts about you, the eldest son, inheriting the throne? The names are all decided, the concubine cannot be changed, the queen is your enemy, how can you say that whoever you set up, where did the way of filial piety go? You say it yourself, isn't this the reason! ”

The emperor snorted for a moment, but he had nothing to say, thought about it, and sighed. "That's fine."

"Besides, you are so ruthless to the Hu family?" The Queen Mother's eyebrows were already about to stand up. "The queen's position is not given to her, how do you let her deal with herself, are you going to force your wife to death before you are willing?"

"Of course not!" The emperor hurriedly said, "The love of these years is still there, the son thought, although he is not the queen anymore, he should also be canonized as a concubine - or an example of imitating Taizu, and add an emperor character, the imperial concubine, except for the title, all the treatment is not much different from the queen......"

He replied so quickly, it can be seen that he has already had a draft, and he doesn't care about Hu's life or death, the Queen Mother was a little satisfied, she snorted and stopped talking.

"Since that's the case, let's change the name of the Sun family to the noble concubine......" The emperor quickly proposed another way, it seems that he has already estimated the success rate of his Jihua.

The Queen Mother snorted and didn't say anything more - a noble concubine, the Sun family also deserves it. "What about the He family and the Xu family?"

"Mother, what do you think?" The emperor asked the queen mother flatteringly. "It's up to you!"

The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "When Emperor Gao, it was a court practice that if there were no children and a short number of years, there were no concubines. In fact, it was the same when Emperor Wen was in the palace, except for those Korean women, who had no children, they all worked hard for many years, and even died of illness before being given a concubine. Your father's palace is full of old people, and there are no newcomers, so it's not worth referring to. What I mean, although the He family has no children, he has a daughter, and he has followed you for many years, so he can be a concubine. ”

She paused, frowned and pondered, "What is this Xu family......

The author has something to say: while thinking about living, he is thinking about the issue of treatment

This rhythm is a bit out of place, hahahaha

Update early today!

Guess if Xiao Xu can be a concubine!
