Chapter 250

Some trivial things in the harem, except for a few parties, no subjects will care, and now the entire capital is in full swing to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the bolt, and to arrange the funeral of the emperor Daxing. Look at the latest novels on -_-!乐-_-!ζ–‡-_-!小-_-!say-_-!网(http://)Baidu search to see the latest novels on-_-!乐-_-!ζ–‡-_-!小-_-!say-_-!网(http://β—Žwwβ—Žwβ—Žw.lβ—Žwβ—Žxβ—Žsβ—Ž.oβ—Žrβ—Žgβ—Ž)Baidu search URL remember to remove β—ŽOh, the rumors before the finality, after all, did not affect the rhythm of the departments, and the various dragon robes worn by the emperor when he ascended the throne have long been woven overtime, Otherwise, I really don't know when the enthronement ceremony will be delayed, after all, there is no reason for the emperor to wear the prince's clothes to salute.

The emperor ascended the throne, just the dress has a crown dress, leather dress, regular clothes, twelve regiments of dragons and twelve chapters of the crown, Tsing Yi mourning clothes, etc., which wear different occasions, this crown dress is naturally the most laborious and the most important, but the emperor is small in size, all the existing semi-finished products can not be changed, the Ministry of Rites, the weaving bureau of people are almost crazy for this, in addition, there are also the crown ornaments worn by the emperor, but also to change - this is still a set of enthronement wearing, you must know that in the enthronement ceremony to pay homage to the emperor Daxing a few feasts, only when the order is given, The emperor has to wear filial piety clothes again, after the enthronement ceremony, the hundred officials will hold a big court meeting after worshipping, wear leather clothes, and wear regular clothes on the usual ceremonial occasions, as for the so-called dragon robes worn in daily life, it can be a step ahead, and the first few sets of important dresses are the top priority.

Odds and bits, a lot of things, all trivial, but never go wrong. If there is something wrong in the ceremony, it is easy to be accused of being a bad omen, Emperor Daxing has gone these days, and he has not even set the name and temple number, which shows how panicked the ministers are these days. Now Lian Geng can't continue to make mistakes, and should draw an end to this chaotic spring moon with a decent and quick enthronement ceremony, and then discuss the aftermath of the Emperor Daxing.

The enthronement ceremony has foreign ministers to worry about, and the female dependents are responsible for training the bolt, so that he does not make a fool of himself in the complicated enthronement ceremony. According to the queen mother's meaning, it is best not to even bring the adoptive mother, so that she can walk down the etiquette.

The intention here, there is no need to say it explicitly - etiquette is originally a science, stupid and do not know etiquette, these two words are connected, Xu Xun and other show girls, before entering the palace, it took half a year to learn palace etiquette, because there are many words and deeds in the palace that are different from the common people, this kind of anti-natural etiquette and behavior, is also the embodiment of status.

There are already many things to pay attention to when meeting and talking, and there is no need to say how complicated the etiquette is at the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven, right? At such a young age, it is enough to go to the Wenhua Hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials on daily festivals, but to be able to complete a set of enthronement rites independently, with a clear eye, there is no need for others to help remind you, and you don't need an adoptive mother to teach you hand in hand - if the demeanor is still peaceful and steady, it naturally reflects the extraordinary talent of this child, so as to establish a very good first impression in the hearts of the ministers.

In the few days that Zhu'er stayed in Qingning Palace, of course, it was good to eat and drink, he didn't seem to feel any pressure mentally, he was quite peaceful, and he attended some funeral activities of Emperor Daxing, and he also behaved decently, at least there was no crying with his adoptive mother's legs. On the one hand, everyone was pleased with his calmness, but on the other hand, they were inevitably a little suspicious of Zhu'er's intelligence, after all, he was also enlightened by the crown prince, and he was about to go out of the cabinet to study. When his father died, he was carried out of his mother's palace and followed his grandmother, and he should have heard the name of King Xiang, if he didn't notice anything unusual, he could only say that the child was a little too dull.

However, it is good to be sluggish and dull, at least the possibility of being frightened in the face of the big formation has weakened a lot, and in the past few days, the praise officials of the Liushang, the Twenty-fourth Yamen and the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites have come to teach the prince all kinds of etiquette to perform at the enthronement ceremony, and they are all full of praise, saying that he is peaceful and steady, and he has a very good demeanor, anyway, how auspicious to say. - Although I knew that this was also the proper meaning of the question, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were very fond of this, and a smile appeared on their lips.

In the palace now, there are only these three masters left, Jingci Immortal Master is barely the fourth, these four women are entangled with each other and have complicated relationships, but it is impossible to continue to avoid them, they always have to deal with each other, so they have to bite the bullet, and they are all nothing. Anyway, now that even the emperor is gone, the man who talks about things hasn't grown up yet, besides, when he grows up, the battle with him as the core will naturally happen between his women. The story of Xu Xun's generation has only one epilogue left, no matter how long or short, after all, he is about to retire from the stage and retire for the rest of his life.

This is actually not a bad thing, anyway, now the power in the palace is faintly a little left and right by foreign ministers, and the queen mother has the handle in the file library, and she has taken the initiative to hand over power and let go of the government. Once she loses the power to kill and seize the courtiers, her authority will suddenly be greatly weakened - once this lord loses the bargaining chips, the four of them will either contain each other, or they will have a previous discussion, and they will not fail to fulfill their promises. In short, the identities of the four people actually have a faint taste of equality, no one has to completely look at whose face to do things, everyone can speak directly and talk about things, but it is much better than the previous dark tide.

Yi Zunbei sat in one place, watching the bolt practice the complicated five bows and three bows, the heaven and earth ceremony, the ascension ceremony, the worship ceremony and a series of other etiquette, seeing that his behavior is really elegant, the queen mother and the queen showed a satisfied look on their faces, and personally praised a few words, the queen said, "Three days later, the enthronement ceremony, can you do it alone?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's brows were slightly furrowed, but she didn't speak first, but looked at her with a smile. Under the attention of the four people, Xuan'er was not uneasy, but nodded and said crisply, "I don't have to be taken by others, I can do it myself." ”

Everyone couldn't help but encourage and praise a few words, and the bolt stood and listened, but he was not happy or angry, and he really had a little temperament. Xu Xun saw it, and secretly surprised in her heart, she grew up watching Xuan'er, that is, last spring, this child still talked about daxiao, almost no city, a ball of innocence and romance. Speaking of which, since the summer emperor's illness, maybe because of the death of Concubine Luo, he has matured a lot, just like Zhuang'er, his temperament has changed greatly, but Zhuang'er has become a little gloomy, while Zhu'er has just become silent, even in front of the queen, it seems that there are not many words.

As the heir emperor, he still has a lot to do, and after a while, he was taken out to salute the emperor of Daxing. When he went, the Queen Mother said, "I am already about to ascend the throne, and in the future, this nickname can be discarded." ”

As an emperor, no matter how young he is, he has to be treated as an adult. Of course, Xu Xun and the others have nicknames, but after entering the palace, no one rushed others to call them nicknames. The queen didn't argue with the queen mother in this matter, nodded and sighed, "In the future, let's call it according to the ranking, the emperor's name is not called everywhere." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but show a little sadness - the title of Da Lang had been used in the palace for more than 30 years to refer to one person, and now the same two words will point to another person from now on.

Emperor Daxing has passed away for more than half a month, but all kinds of events have been ups and downs, none of these people have mourned him, the queen mother and Xu Xun have shown their faces, but Jingci Immortal Master is nothing, seeing that the three of them are not speaking, he asked, "Speaking of which, this West Palace has not yet been completed, after the two mothers moved in, do they live in the Chang'an Palace?" ”

The West Palace Annex, and the harem are actually not unified, covering an area not very broad, independent outside the harem, closer to the West Garden, the scenery is good, but the palace group is not very much, after all, the Queen Mother is also the first Queen Mother of the Dynasty, no queen in the palace can survive to this position before, Taizu and Taizong have all the concubines martyred, and there is no concubine to support. If it weren't for the Queen Mother who killed all the dozen or so concubines in the palace, there would still be a situation where she couldn't live now. Even now, it's quite difficult, there are two big palaces in Xiyuan, Qingning Palace where the Queen Mother lives, and Chang'an Palace where Jingci Immortal Master lives, of course, adding two more people is not a big problem, and two hundred more people can settle down, but according to the etiquette law, there is no such thing. Besides, they were originally all characters who ruled the first palace, so how should they live here?

"Chang'an Palace is a Taoist temple, not suitable for the queen mother's residence, right?" The queen objected, "Actually, although Kunning Palace is uninhabitable now, there are so many empty houses in the East and West Sixth Palaces, and it is too late to live in them first, and then build them." ”

"This ......" This involves the issue of money, and the Queen Mother hesitated a little, "It's not a trivial matter to start the palace, although this matter is justified, but where does the money come from?" This time, Emperor Daxing went suddenly, and last year he suffered another disaster, but I am afraid that the Taicang Treasury is already in an emergency, and I want the foreign court to pay money, but I am afraid that it can't. ”

"Where's the inner carrier?" Xu Xun couldn't help asking, "The twelve libraries in this are still in charge of the palace now, right?" ”

"Although it is the palace manager, but in the next few years, the household department will naturally have to change the way to take money from the treasury." The Queen Mother saw it very thoroughly, "The Twelve Libraries were originally guarded and managed by the household department, and they were clear about their family background, so they could only send a capable person to manage it, don't let it go too far." ”

The outer court is strong, the inner court is weak, this sentence is not just just talking, and the impact can be seen in all aspects of life. If the Queen Mother was in power, how could the current situation occur? However, no one of the people will be cheap and obedient, and the queen sighed, "Then it is really necessary to send an old man with qualifications, otherwise, when the bolt is married, I am afraid that I will not even be able to get the money for the dowry of the new daughter-in-law." ”

The issue of money, even in the royal family is very important, the four of them discussed, and they have not yet decided who to send over, because after the bolt ascends the throne, there will be a big change in personnel, not to mention that the head of the twenty-four yamen has been changed, at least the neighbors around him have to occupy a few important positions, or the emperor's original credit of the capable person, get him to serve, otherwise it's okay now, wait until the bolt is a little bigger, and the outer court is cooperative and restricted, and the inner court master and ceremonial supervisor has no confidant, then it is inevitable to feel isolated and helpless. Besides, although the role of the celebrant has been greatly reduced in the past few years, it cannot be left unmanaged, otherwise it will be troublesome to create a powerful eunuch in the future.

There are a lot of things, all of which are specific matters waiting to be decided. Several people even Liushang worked together to deal with the matter, to zuihou or to go back to the residence, the queen is determined not to live in Chang'an Palace, the next solution is actually very simple in Xu Xun's opinion, but the queen mother has not let go, everyone can only follow the consumption, Liushang is even more afraid to say a word, in the end, or the immortal master took the initiative to say, "Or, let the old lady temporarily live in the East Palace, and the West Palace will be left to live in the Niangniang, so it can be called the best of both worlds." ”

The east and west palaces are far away from each other, the weight is equal, and after all, the east represents the spring of the erection xiangshang, it seems that it is more noble than the west, the queen mother lifted her eyebrows, it seems to be moving, Xu Xun hurriedly said a few words, and then the matter was settled - just right, because the emperor was originally going to go out of the pavilion to study after the year, and the east palace had just been renovated, and the furnishings were ready-made, and it took a little effort to move in.

"The emperor's filial piety is to replace the day with the month, let's also biedong first, and wait for him to be filial piety, and then move like this." The Queen Mother made a decision, glanced at Xu Xun, and said, "In Kunning Palace, there is still Concubine Jing, but she is sick now, don't move, she just lives in the same place, and it is convenient for you to say hello and do your filial piety." ”

Naturally, everyone had no objections, and the Queen Mother asked Xu Xun again, "Do you want to live in the West Palace, or do you want to live in the Chang'an Palace?" ”

After the emperor ascended the throne, except for Ah Huang, Yuanyuan, and Diandian, almost everyone had to move out, and Xu Xun couldn't stay in Yong'an Palace if he wanted to, even if the emperor was still young, there was no reason for the concubine and him to keep a palace. Xu Xun saw that the queen and the immortal master were looking at him, and even the queen mother seemed to be smiling, knowing that this question was by no means so easy to answer, so he opened a stroke, "Although it stands to reason that Dalang is on the throne, Zhuang'er should go out of the palace to live, but he is still young, I am a little reluctant, and I want to keep him by my side, I don't know if there is an independent palace, it doesn't matter if it is small, it is convenient for me to take Zhuang'er and Dian to live." ”

The queen and the immortal master didn't speak, and the queen mother said, "How can you say that you are also an imperial concubine, how can you live in such a small courtyard that is only a few miles inside and outside?" ”

She pondered for a while, and finally made a decision, "The immortal master is a monk, and the cultivation should be quiet, since you have brought Zhuang'er, then live in the West Palace, where the place is big, and if you add a few more people, it will not be crowded." ”

This is also reasonable, Xu Xun nodded in response, and asked again, "Could it be that after ascending the throne, Da Lang will really live in the Qianqing Palace?" He's not very oldβ€”"

This is an objective problem, the two palaces live separately, the treatment is equal, but there are also a lot of concerns, the child lives alone in the Qianqing Palace, afraid that he is afraid and lonely, such a big harem, now except for the six still in it, there is almost no one. If this kid wants to live in the Qianqing Palace, will he live in the East Palace or the West Palace? Both sides have reasons and motives, and this has to be fought over, and it has to be endless. However, Xu Xun would rather make it clear now, so as not to let the two great gods fight and the people below suffer.

This is like the question of where the Queen Mother lives, who will take the bolt is also the core contradiction that everyone avoids. The queen mother and the queen stared wide-eyed, and neither of them spoke - just after a big chaos, the current harem, really can't afford any disputes, but the relationship between the two is stiff, it has been many years, when the emperor was in the past, the queen was in front of the queen mother, and always had to maintain a filial piety and supple figure, and let others rub it.

This is different from where the queen mother lives and where Xu Xun lives, neither of the two has the intention of giving in, and after a stalemate for a long time, the queen said leisurely, "After all, Da Lang is still brought up by his daughter-in-law, and besides-"

The Queen Mother glanced at her, as if she heard the queen's unfinished intentions, and she said categorically, "Although it is a child, after all, I will also be the emperor." Besides, he is nine years old, and he is about to go out of the pavilion to study, and I think it is good for him to live in the Qianqing Palace. If you live in a partial palace for many years, the Son of Heaven will not be able to settle down, and it is not an auspicious sign. ”

In the case of Zhu'er's ascension to the throne, wanting to establish King Xiang is already a political stain that the Queen Mother can't wash away, because although she has an advantage in seniority, sometimes she can't help but be forced to change her strategy, otherwise, wouldn't she just take Zhu'er to live with her? The queen is just dissatisfied, and she can't say anything if she's afraid.

Xu Xun saw that the queen no longer spoke, and knew that she was quite satisfied with the result, so he secretly wiped his cold sweat: these people are sitting together, fundamentally speaking, every agreement will be a mutual compromise between the queen mother and the queen. The tempers of these two people are similar, so you can imagine how difficult it will be for yourself and the immortal master to be caught in the middle.

This point is settled, and the conversation in the future will be smooth again, the name of the Emperor Daxing, the temple number, has been decided, this matter is really important, so it was presented to the Queen Mother to her to make a decision, the Queen Mother read it to the three of them, and said, "These twists and turns, we can't compare to Wenchen, I think this nickname is good, Emperor Xuanzongzhang, can be regarded as worthy of Dalang's merits." ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but sigh again, and just took the day out to discuss the issue of the successive honorific titles with the queen and Xu Xun.

For the elder concubines, it is a natural thing, that is, to change the title. For example, the queen mother, after the honor ceremony, is the queen mother, the queen becomes the queen mother, and Xu Xun is promoted to become the imperial concubine. However, Xu Xun can do it with the queen, but the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have their own ceremonies to go, but they can't be mixed together, and they must be set in order, so Qin Tianjian selected a few auspicious times, and presented them to the Queen Mother by the Ministry of Rites to choose, and at this time, all of them are after the emperor ascends the throne, it depends on which day is more convenient.

Since many things have to be honored before they can be done, before that, the exchange of official documents with foreign ministers is not even easy to name, because the two giants attach great importance to this matter, and soon discuss the result - it is set in early February, shortly after the Son of Heaven is filial piety, so that there can be some drums in the harem, and it will not disturb the atmosphere of filial piety.

All these trivial matters must be ordered, and it is almost lunchtime. However, the immortal master is a monk, has always been a vegetarian, eats lightly, Xu Xun and the queen are filial piety, and they can't eat meat either, although the queen mother doesn't have to keep it for her son, but she has been vowing to eat fast these days, and everyone is hasty. After lunch, even the Queen Mother was still in good spirits, and led everyone into the Warm Pavilion to discuss the matter - this is today's zuihou, and it is also the most important drama.

The residence of the queen mother and the support of the emperor are all important matters related to fame and descendants, but the third thing is related to the only remaining power in the palace. Although no one said it clearly, but there was no result at this point, the queen would not be willing to leave, Xu Xun also heard that the queen mother was recruiting people this morning, so she was preparing for this moment, so when the queen mother spoke, she was not surprised at all.

In fact, I have already mentioned a mouthful in the morning, but there is no result, this time the queen mother is serious to speak, "The new monarch ascends the throne, and there will be a change in personnel...... These places, no less than the cabinet, can be regarded as confidants, and they will be reserved for the use of Dalang in the future, and they must not be touched by foreign ministers. ”

The personnel power of eunuchs must always be in the hands of the heavenly family, and the outer court cannot be given a chance. If it weren't for this, the Queen Mother wouldn't be so easy to talk about today, and she would still put this issue on the table and talk about it -- if this personnel change is not approved by the queen, it will even arouse her dissatisfaction and make her complain to the outer court...... And this is something that the old man will never allow, because she made it clear from the beginning that these liliang will be left to the emperor in the future, in order to weaken the queen's fighting spirit.

Xu Xun watched coldly, and he was very clear about the motives of the Queen Mother. However, the queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she also does not give an inch, Rourou nodded, and immediately picked up the second sensitive area, "My mother is right, and my daughter-in-law also thinks that these yamen are also a foundation of the inner court." At this time, it is a time of great change, I am afraid that it is better to be still, others are okay, this eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch palm seal, the eunuch of the commander of the East Factory, but it must not be moved lightly. ”

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, the fundamental contradiction between the two is on Feng En, the commander of Dongchang, the queen mother wants him to go down, and the queen wants to keep him, the two are fighting for Feng En, not only Feng En, but more, or the power in the palace. Feng Enliu, the queen mother's power is declining, the queen mother's momentum must rise, Feng Enliu, the authority of the queen mother, will inevitably wear out day by day, besides, how can she still have the face to continue to call a servant who has obviously opposed her, but can still be retained in the important position of confidant?

There is this, no matter how many scriptures are cited, it is impossible for both sides to convince each other, the queen mother and the queen are rare to meet each other, although it is not so shrewd to scold each other, but you say a word to me, it is like a Confucian argument, both sides are not giving an inch, and how can there be a trace of the gentle and elegant temperament of the inner court concubines, steady and few words?

Seeing that half an hour had passed, the opinions of the two sides were still not unified, and the Queen Mother obviously suppressed the anger in her heart, first changed the topic, and said, "This Feng En is okay, after Da Lang goes, according to the custom, someone in the celebrant supervisor wants to go out to supervise the construction of the mountain mausoleum, but who should be sent to do this?" ”

No matter who is sent, it is equivalent to sending him out of the center of power, and Feng En before was unlucky to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb, and it took me a few years to return to the palace. However, in this matter, everyone has no conflict of interest and no obvious position, and the eunuchs in the celebrant eunuch are not something they can raise at will, and they almost never participate in the affairs of the palace.

The queen first said a Wang Jin, Xu Xun couldn't help but say no, and said a new and shallow Zhang Liujiu, the queen mother felt that she was not shrewd enough, and also vetoed, the immortal master was silent all afternoon, and the three of them were discussing, and someone suddenly came from outside, "The old lady, the queen, the imperial concubine, someone from Nanjing came, and he took the warrant of the emperor of Daxing, saying that he went to Dongchang to report and take office." Because there is no official document, the factory does not dare to be proficient, so it is especially helpful to ask the old lady and the mother to make decisions. ”

"No official documents?" The Queen Mother was a little stunned, "Who?" Don't you be a lonely ghost from anywhere, right? ”

"The old lady is also the old man of the East Palace,"
