"Follow the old example of Emperor Gao, and be named the concubine of Huangzhuang?" Lord Shangshu Hu of the Ministry of Rites repeated in surprise.

After that, the difference in the treatment of concubines can be seen from the difficulty of canonization. Although the queen is abolished now, if she wants to be canonized, it can't be the emperor talking to himself, just like when the heir emperor ascended the throne, there must be a process of supporting and resigning, even if everyone knows that this is just a formality, but this scene still has to be taken seriously. Otherwise, the internal and external wives and courtiers will not be able to shine on their own sense of existence. But the canonization of concubines is just a matter of the emperor's words, and it can't alarm these outsiders. The issuance of the edict is simply to inform the administrative body that it is time to get ready to do something.

The canonization of the imperial concubine is different from the general concubine, to alarm the civil and military officials, but also to select the canonization of the messenger, although these people and the imperial concubine herself are not able to meet, but the etiquette can not be messed up, and the arrangement of etiquette is the matter of the Ministry of Etiquette and the Department of Etiquette. - This is still an old precedent to follow, what to do with this kind of promotion ceremony that adds an imperial character to the original Jia number, since the emperor's edict said that it is to follow the old precedent of Emperor Gao, it should be done according to the old practice of Emperor Gao at that time.

The problem came next, everyone knows that the Jianshu people set fire to the palace before the city was broken, and the text classics were the most forbidden to burn. In the midst of war, who would protect these ritual records, which are of no practical use? And this kind of trivial etiquette cannot appear in Emperor Gao's living note, that is, in the future "Taizu Records", these previous materials, important can also be returned from multiple circumstantial evidence, this kind of less important has disappeared in the wind, and there is no possibility of recovering it at all.

What should I do if I don't have a reference? Then you have to figure it out. Shangyi wants to do it big, you come to make everything simple, maybe you will end up with an incompetent comment, Shangyi wants to do it quickly, and you will lay out a large-scale celebration process for more than 20 days, and you will be beaten back. Especially when the emperor is about to set off to inspect the border defense, a decree suddenly came ten days before leaving, and the people below have to ponder: Do you plan to blow the wind before leaving, let people prepare calmly, and come back just to hold the Jin Feng ceremony, or just go through a file process and directly add an emperor word?

Don't think that this is a very simple matter, mixed to the level of the Ministry of Rites, it can be said that it is the core of power in the country, and the basic political sensitivity must be there. Now that the palace is abolished, the prince's biological mother, Sun Guifei, is dormant and has no movement, but it is said that Concubine Xu Zhuang, who entered the south a while ago, should have come out of the south now, and it was just when she came out and immediately got the emperor to seal it, what does the emperor mean? Could it be that the abolition of Hu Hou is not for Concubine Sun Guifei, but to make room for Concubine Xu Zhuang?

But when Empress Hu was deposed, wasn't Concubine Zhuang still staying in Nannei? Or is it that the concubine has been tossing for a long time, but now she is about to be picked by Concubine Zhuang?

Not only Lord Hu, but all the ministers who have seen this will and heard the news must be incomprehensible. Just by imagining, you can feel the bloody storm and invisible battle that is going on in the harem now. Master Hu has also heard some rumors, and knows that the prince's jade has always been empty without the name of his biological mother, and now, there is such a change......

He didn't care about the prestige of Shangshu, took the edict and studied it carefully, smacking the emperor's words - of course, this will will not be written down by the emperor himself, the part of the concubine of Jin Feng Zhuang was at most dictated by him, and he accompanied Hanlin to polish it, and those rewards were basically negligible nonsense, and the most important thing was the instructions on the procedures of Jin Feng.

However, to the disappointment of Lord Hu, there is everything in this awkward four or six pun texts, but there is no information on what to do about this matter - filial piety, Shu Shen bowed his head, and directly followed the old example of Emperor Gao, and was promoted to the title of Huangzhuang Concubine. Even said that there was not a word of instruction on whether this volume and the seal should be upgraded.

Book, Printed ...... Lord Hu seems to understand a little, in the final analysis, Concubine Zhuang's treatment seems to have risen, but she still can't keep up with the concubine. After all, no matter how loud Concubine Huangzhuang and Concubine Huangzhuang screamed, the emperor didn't say anything to give her Jinbao, right?

Since this is the case, this matter should be handled simply, so as not to mislead the ministers and steal the limelight of the concubine. Master Hu breathed a sigh of relief, ordered the official of the ritual system to come to Shilang, forwarded the will, and handed it over to him to 'draw up a charter with reference to the precedent', and then went leisurely in the sea of official documents. - I have a number in my heart, it doesn't mean that I have to do everything by myself, those foreshadowing of the officialdom back and forth to shirk responsibility, Lord Hu is naturally a doorman, this matter is drafted by Lang Zhong first, and then reported after his own revision, I don't know how much room for manoeuvre.

Of course, Lord Hu himself will not admit it - Concubine Zhuang failed to succeed in attacking the rear position, and he was more or less relieved.

In that incident, although both sides were kind, it was also an indisputable fact that Lord Hu and Concubine Zhuang had formed a bond. After Concubine Zhuang's Jia name dispute, he did not guide his protégés to contribute from it, this matter to Zuihou, the emperor cared about the face of the old minister, did not insist on using the title of Concubine Zhuang, and changed the title of Concubine Zhuang. Speaking of which, it is also right about things and not people, and for Concubine Zhuang, Master Hu doesn't have much opinion, and even admires her courage. However, only women and villains are difficult to raise, women have always been very vindictive, who knows what Concubine Zhuang will think of him Hu Shangshu in her heart?

If she is a concubine Zhuang for the rest of her life, then it doesn't matter, even the imperial concubine doesn't matter, the rules of the country are strict, and it is impossible for relatives to interfere in politics and concubines to interfere in politics, besides, Concubine Zhuang herself has no heirs. But if Concubine Zhuang is made the queen, it will not be easy to say, the rivers and lakes are tight, who knows what will happen one day, and the queen will come to the front desk to be regent?

It's still that good, it's still that good. Master Hu thought, isn't the prince's biological mother the queen very justifiable? Wait a few more days, before the emperor inspects the frontier, if the British duke is not on the table, he can also blow the wind......

"Follow the old example of Emperor Gao, and be named the concubine of Huangzhuang?"

Although the emperor's edict to seal the concubine does not need to be issued by the cabinet, a central decree can almost be completed. But the three Yang people in the cabinet are not only an errand in the cabinet, but also more than just a few colleagues. That is, it was delayed for a day, almost before and after, before and after, before and after coming out of Wenyuan Pavilion, and I got the news through different ways.

In previous years, such a trivial matter would not be worth being so cautious, but it is still the same old saying. Now that the crown prince is in power, the middle palace is empty, the jade is not filled, and everything is uncertain......

On the side of Lord Nanyang, there must be no sound - when Lord Xiyang went to work the next day, he couldn't help but look at his colleagues in a daze. Lord Nanyang still calmly looked at the new twists and turns every day...... Anyway, as a cabinet minister who was promoted by a special purpose, his ability is not outstanding, and he does not have much political ambition. He is the most casual person in the cabinet, and he follows the Queen Mother and moves it.

As for Lord Dongyang, it was a little suddenly realized, since the day he figured out that the British Duke had no intention of being on the table, he had been waiting for the movement of the inner curtain, and now this stone has finally fallen to the ground.

He didn't look at Lord Nanyang's face - you don't have to look at it, the world is the emperor's world, and it will eventually be the emperor's lineage.

Of course, the prince who is now breastfeeding, his own wishes are irrelevant. To put it bluntly, this matter depends on two points: who the emperor wants to appoint, and who gives birth to the crown prince.

The question of who gave birth to the crown prince is still subordinate to who the emperor wants to appoint. Lord Dongyang was not sure about this point, but now he understands: After all, the emperor was born to the queen mother, and the queen mother has an opinion on Sun Guifei Niangniang, even if the emperor can only figure it slowly, right?

As for whether the emperor wavered in his mind and wanted to change the queen mother's preferred...... This question has not been considered by Lord Dongyang at all, although he is a few years older than Lord Hu, but his brain is much more flexible than Lord Hu, and he has been rolling in the cabinet all the year round, which is to train a pair of sharp eyes, far better than looking for people and looking for keywords Lord Hu knows how to figure out the key better. 'Emperor Gao's Old Case', what is the Old Case? The imperial concubine has no treasure, and the imperial concubine is no matter how good it sounds, it can't go beyond the concubine. The emperor is looking for some psychological balance for the queen mother and the concubine.

Now that the situation is clear, what to do next, Lord Dongyang naturally knows it. The last time I talked about the abolition of the queen, he didn't have the right pulse and lost people. - It doesn't matter, the so-called 'laughing and scolding Youer, I do it myself as a good official', how can there be an official who is not scolded?

But the problem is here, after the Jingci Immortal Master was abolished, he simply lived in Qingning Palace, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be just ordinary when it was not abolished, but now after being abolished, the Queen Mother seems to pity the old daughter-in-law. Lord Dongyang is on the thief ship in this matter, and now he has to row forward if he doesn't row forward, if it weren't for the ministers of the former dynasty to meddle in the affairs of the harem, it would be like fighting a cow across the mountain without a way to start, the high wall between the Wenyuan Pavilion and the harem is more difficult to climb than the Kunlun Sacred Mountain, Lord Dongyang is eager to roll up his sleeves and go on his own - for Sun Guifei Niangniang, he is not so assured, not that he thinks she is not capable, Lord Dongyang thinks that Sun Niangniang is less lucky, the duck cooked ten years ago can fly, ten years later, Who knows if this almost arrived position will also be killed by the who have won the true inheritance of the Queen Mother and Jingci Immortal Master, and will be stopped halfway?

You know, the prince's jade is still empty......

He is this age, and it is difficult for the changes in the harem to shake his position is good, but to put it the other way, he has reached this age, what hope do he have? Thinking more about future generations, the prince is still young, and whoever raises him is a mother, just look at how he disposes of his two teachers after he ascends the throne today, and he knows that it is difficult to leave this past favor to the future, but the past grudges must have a long history. Lord Dongyang is not afraid that the prince will be raised by - he is afraid that after the old man picks up, he will take the prince to his side and raise it with Jingci Immortal...... Although his sons are not successful, but the grandchildren still have good seedlings, and it will be a good time to enter the company after twenty or thirty years, and at that time......

The emperor wants to inspect the border defense, not that he will go down to the grassroots level to carry out a surprise attack with some retinue, but that he will lead his troops to sweep away some unstable factors on the border defense line. Although it is said to be an inspection, but it has to be done according to a small expedition, following the old practice, you must bring cabinet members to deal with government affairs, this candidate, except for Lord Dongyang, who has been driving and assisting the government for many years, basically does not think about the second person, and no one will be stupid enough to fight with him.

There are still more than ten days to leave, if you meet the enemy, you will have to delay for a month, Lord Dongyang is a little worried about the concubine Niangniang, although he has not met, but his concern is full of real gold, not adulterated at all. The so-called two fists are hard to beat with four hands, as soon as the emperor goes, the concubine drags a child alone, which is to be beaten by the queen mother, Jingci Immortal Master and......

The fists of these three people, none of them are small, can the concubine Niangniang last until the emperor returns?

I'm going to have to get her help.

Lord Dongyang stared at the twists and turns in front of him, and he was more intimate than his own father to make an abacus for Sun Niangniang, breaking an old heart.

"Oh," after all, it was a few years ago, Lord Dongyang thought about it, and finally pulled out such a past event from the corners of his memory, his brows stretched, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

In the face of the eyes cast by his colleagues, Lord Dongyang just smiled and said, "The weather in Suzhou is good this year!" ”

He picked up the folded book and fanned it gently, "Presumably this year, Jiangnan will have a good harvest again." ”

Xiyang is kind, Nanyang is silent, and he doesn't come to take his words. However, the scholar who was serving the tea said timidly, "My lord, this is Shaanxi's water excerpt......

"Follow the old example of Emperor Gao, and be named the concubine of Huangzhuang?"

In Qingning Palace, the Queen Mother also raised her eyebrows in surprise, "The decree has already been issued?" ”

The emperor who is filial to the emperor often adds a 'in accordance with the decree of the empress dowager' when dealing with internal affairs, although most of it is the emperor's own meaning, but there are also layers of shells. However, this unwritten rule is completely useless in the emperor, and there is no half word of the queen mother on the will after the abolition, and the first heavyweight change after the abolition, the emperor did not report to the queen mother for consent in advance, that is, to inform the mother afterwards, by the way, it is not without explanation.

"yes." The emperor will definitely not pour beans into a bamboo tube and tell his heart clearly - he is not a roundworm in the stomach of the queen mother, I don't know the fight between the concubine and the concubine Zhuang, whether the queen mother knows it, and if so, how much does she know. "After all, she went to live in Nannei for three months, I was afraid that she would not be able to stand, and she added an imperial character, although it was just a false name, and the treatment had not changed much, but it was also haode."

This word is indeed of no special significance, more than 20 years have passed since Emperor Gao, there are two emperors, and there is no precedent for adding the word emperor in this way, to say that Xu Xun has become the first person below the queen because of this, it is also a no-thing, but at least, it also reflects that the emperor's favor for Xu Xun has not faded. Even if the concubine wants to crush Yong'an Palace, she has to weigh the emperor's reaction in her heart now.

The Queen Mother smiled happily, and did not say anything against it, but nodded and said, "That's fine, no matter what the Xu family says, she is also a little bit of a mother, she is decent, and I am also a little happy." ”

It's good that she doesn't mention it, but if she mentions it, the emperor can't help but feel a greasy smell and muttering in his heart - his daughter is fine, and now that she has fully recovered her health, he is not so angry in his heart. But if it weren't for Xu Xun's honesty and intimacy with him, the Queen Mother's means, he would not be able to break it for a hundred years, and he would have to be kept in the dark......

The trust of people is like this, once there is a stain, it will be difficult to wash away everything in the past. said to Xu Xun that he didn't care, that was because he had to hold his breath and hold on to the face of the emperor, and he was really tricked by his own mother, can the emperor feel better? But the Queen Mother didn't know anything, and she mentioned it with a smile, as if she was fine......

"Yes," he said with a smile, "However, she, the concubine of Huangzhuang, was promoted because of love, and after all, her name is a little unjustifiable, so I don't think there is any need to make a big deal about it." Before leaving, I changed the name of the book.,That's it.,What do you think? ”

There are several reasons for Jin Feng, either because of his hard work in managing family affairs for many years, or because he has made great contributions, such as giving birth to the crown prince, Xu Xun has just entered the south, and the official reason is to disobey the emperor, which is not to do haode performance in his own job. Now to say that she is due to merit, isn't it equivalent to saying that the emperor is wrong? Therefore, it can only be sealed because of pets, which is a little bit of a suspicion of messing up the rules of promotion, and it is done in a low-key manner, and I don't want future generations to follow this example and break the rules of the harem.

Although, the rules of this harem have already been broken in various ways, but the emperor still has this mind. The Queen Mother has no opinion, "It's okay, but if you don't hold a ceremony, don't change the book." As soon as the general order was issued, everyone changed their words, and all kinds of common rules were added to one percent, and I think it's almost the same, and it's not a matter of giving a special gift. ”

The reason for not changing the book is because it is necessary to salute the change of the book, and the gold book is a very important thing after all, and it is not in accordance with the rules if it is changed without saying a word. It seems that Xu Xun's influence has been weakened, and the matter of Jin Feng has not been implemented, but the next sentence is to really improve the treatment of this imperial concubine. You must know that the concubine herself, except for the treasure, the other offerings are no different from the ordinary imperial concubines, the queen mother said that Xu Xun is the woman with the highest treatment in the harem now.

The emperor was a little unsure of his mother's intentions - could it be that he hadn't heard what Xu Xun said? Are you still helping Xu Xun to get to the queen's seat?

On a whim, he almost wanted to break this layer of paper for his mother, or rather, the emperor didn't dare to imagine the queen mother's reaction after discovering Xu Xun's true intentions...... Just thinking about it, he felt a little embarrassed for his mother.

Although he didn't have the courage to say it directly, after all, it was a mother and son, how could the queen mother treat him the same thing, and the emperor was still reluctant to deepen his mother's embarrassment. At this time, the more my mother fought for Xu Xun, the more she would definitely be hit by the time......

He readily agreed. "Just do what my mother says."

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, both satisfied. The emperor and the empress dowager finalized the candidates for the supervision of the country when patrolling the border - the crown prince supervised the country that was a joke, and the practice of supervising the country by two younger brothers was adopted, but in fact, it was the queen mother who was in charge. Anyway, the real big things will also be sent to the Hu Congxing camp, and there are some small things here, and the symbolism is mostly there.

After talking about things and talking about family life, caring about each other's lives, the emperor got up and said goodbye - if he stayed any longer, he would inevitably be speechless, and in order to avoid such a scene, it would be better to withdraw first.

Although it was in Qingning Palace, when the emperor came, Jingci Immortal Master naturally avoided it and only chanted in the back hall. When the emperor left, she came out, she was a little worried, but she didn't say anything, but asked the queen mother, "Look at the time, it's time to pass the meal, don't delay your nap......"

The Queen Mother nodded, "Cheng, you can indeed set the meal." ”

Eyes swept over Jingci Immortal Master, and the Queen Mother smiled at her expression, "Why, if you have something in your heart, just say it." ”

"It's just that I'm still thinking about what Xiao Xun said." Immortal Master Jingci smiled embarrassedly, "Speaking of which, you...... We pushed her to succeed in the future, and we really didn't discuss it with her......"

This Hu family, after all, still lacks a little experience. The words that Xu and Sun said can be taken seriously by her.

The Queen Mother was really amused by the Hu family, "Who did she talk to?" She said you believed it? Shanxiang, you have lived in the palace for ten years, everyone in this palace is a mother, is there anyone who doesn't want to be a queen? ”

One sentence made the Jingci Immortal Master speechless, and the Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said with satisfaction, "She will say this, I value her more." This experience in Nannei, after all, has grinded out a little bit of the city's government...... Let her say so! ”

She stood up, took the arm of the Jingci Immortal Master, and slowly walked towards the west room where the meal was served. "If she had been smarter, she wouldn't have come to Qingning Palace often these days...... Hehe, she's so knowledgeable, we're here to do it - Qiao'er, over there in Nanjing, did you give a reply? ”

Aunt Qiao bowed, "It's already on the way to Beijing, the spring water is rising, I'm afraid that in half a month, the Luo family should be able to arrive in the capital......"

"Follow the old example of Emperor Gao, and be named the concubine of Huangzhuang?"

The news of the emperor's promotion of Xu Xun naturally spread throughout the court overnight. Concubine Zhuang turned over, came back from the south, and there were more Jin Feng in the eyes, from Qingning Palace onwards, all of them had congratulatory gifts, and the gifts given by the concubine were particularly thick, since the reopening of Yong'an Palace, I felt that I hadn't done anything, so I was busy receiving gifts......

However, unlike the concubine, Xu Xun, who was entitled, was very surprised by this sudden promotion. Although after thinking about it, she didn't understand the emperor's intentions, but what Xu Xun didn't expect was that the concubine really changed her attitude and showed favor so positively. - Obviously, the emperor stayed in Changning Palace last night, and he must have gone to discuss the fight with the concubine yesterday. After she openly expressed her disgust with her, she was still able to reach a resolution with the emperor to promote herself, and the concubine was really a little ruthless.

"What should I say about that?" Mama Zhao is also speechless now, since the prince landed, the affairs in this palace cannot be judged by common sense at all. "It is said that you should receive the love of the concubine in this matter...... But-"

"What kind of affection?" Xu Xun smiled, "You think she's doing this for me?" In the end, it's not for herself...... Add an emperor character, what can you get more in a year? What good can it be other than vanity? ”

If you really want to say that, it is no good for any concubine in the palace to be promoted, even if she is a queen, except for changes in etiquette, she is not the same life as before? Mama Zhao was speechless, Mama Sun smiled and said, "It's a good thing anyway, you came back from Nannei, after all, you brought bad luck with you, and as soon as this good news came, it washed away the bad luck, and in the future in the palace, our Yong'an Palace can still go sideways as before." ”

Xu Xun raised his eyebrows, "At this time, do you still have to walk sideways?" ”

"At least someone won't deliberately come to find fault." Mama Sun said with a smile, "Don't talk about the existing old people, haven't you started the draft now, who knows what kind of temperament the newcomers who come in the draft?" If there are one or two frivolous, because Niangniang has been to Nannei, but there is some contempt, although they are not long-sighted, but they also cause you trouble, right? ”

Indeed, if the quality of the newcomers who came in this draft is still the same as the last time, who knows what will happen. In the final analysis, the chaos in the emperor's harem is gradually rising, and it is not because Zhao Zhaorong and these show girls have no rules, and when they see that the concubine is proud, they will flatter them day by day. Xu Xun, who didn't care about foreign affairs, couldn't help but ask more, "The draft has begun?" I don't think the palace has heard of it? ”

"There are a lot of Jiangnan women." After Mama Sun came out, she naturally resumed contact with Wang Jin, and the news was more well-informed than usual. "This matter was handled by Nanjing, and it should have been selected in Nanjing, and the rules were taught first, and then sent to Beijing to read. I heard that the Queen Mother spoke, this time you must teach and pick well, maybe in Nanjing, you will stay for half a year. ”

"Oh." Concubine Zhuang nodded, "It's time to add some people to this palace, this old man, going, falling out of favor, there are more people watching the play, and there are fewer people singing the play, but it's not a problem." ”

"Niangniang......" Mama Sun can be regarded as understanding Mama Zhao's mood, after Concubine Zhuang came back from Nannei, her words are like hiding a blade, sometimes by chance, it is cut to the bone, so that people don't know how to pick it up. - In front of your own people, of course, it doesn't matter how you speak, but what worries people is the mentality and mood of the mother.

"I can't say that." It's still Mama Qian, and as soon as she came in, she reversed the atmosphere. "Niangniang is decent, that is, a little bit decent. In the future, relatives will be able to get more dowry, more pomp, right? This time, the concubine Niangniang has a personal favor with you. ”

Xu Xun also smiled, she was still very self-reflective. "Mama is right, I don't want to be happy when I look at people and things like this. After all, Jinfeng is a happy event, and it is worth being happy if it is a happy event. ”

After thinking about it, he said, "I went in for three months, and there was no reward at the end of the year, this time the reward in our palace was doubled according to the quarter, and those who were locked up in the main hall were wronged, and doubled again." ”

This is a lot of money, but it is also the stimulation that everyone in Yong'an Palace needs, and what people don't stop in this kind of thing is all smiling and thanking the master for his dignity. Mama Zhao was busy calculating with Xu Xun the money in the treasury, and how to fill the vacancies left by Mama Li, Hong'er, and Cao'er......

After three months of commotion, the Yong'an Palace seems to be slowly returning to its former tranquility, and the original scattered days are gradually twisting and gluing together.

In the case that Shili from all sides has not objected, Xu Xun's promotion to the middle of the imperial concubine Zhuang was also smoothly fed back by the Ministry of Rites, after a simple etiquette, Concubine Zhuang Xu magically had an imperial hat on her head, and the whole thing from proposal to implementation will not take more than seven days.

And after this was done, the emperor waited left and right, and did not wait for the queen mother's displeasure and response, and thought that the queen mother was afraid that she really didn't know the details of the quarrel in Yong'an Palace, so she set off as scheduled and went to patrol the border happily.

Lord Dongyang, who was driving, was in a very happy mood, and Lord Hu who stayed behind...... The mood is a little complicated, but overall it's quite pleasant.

In the harem, the queen mother is very happy, the concubine is very happy, and the comrade Huangzhuang Concubine herself is barely strong, but it is also quite pleasant. - This promotion is rare to say that everyone is happy, so that the front and back harems are very happy.

The author has something to say: updated!

Haha, I'm going to be promoted again, Xiao Xu...... The opportunity came suddenly.
