96 Virtuous Concubines
The queen mother's deep groaning was for a while, the emperor could wait patiently at first, and then he couldn't wait, he said with a little pleading, "Mother, I have always been very diligent in Xu's affairs, and this time in Nanjing, my performance is also remarkable......
Xu Xun's good scene in Nanjing has already been reported to Beijing through many different channels, and through these perspectives, although the Queen Mother and the Emperor were not there, they were able to restore the scene at that time.
The Queen Mother glanced at her son, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It's the Nanjing incident that delayed her, and now, the eyes of those ministers are staring at the Xu family." has no children and concubines, doesn't it give them an excuse to speak. β
This time, the emperor did not give up his opinion, he insisted, "The affairs of the inner palace have nothing to do with the outside. During the Yulu Rebellion, how could the foreign dynasty say one more word? Although the son does not want to learn from Ah Weng's moodiness, he also does not want people to ride on his head. β
Governing the country is not a very simple matter, it does not mean that the whole story ends when the virtuous are elected. After the great waves of Taizong and Renzong, the current Manchu Dynasty is indeed full of talents, and they are all talents who can do things. The kind of villain who plays with the power of the state for his own benefit has not been reused, at least in this dynasty. But this does not mean that the emperors of this dynasty can rule with their arches, in fact, even between the king and the virtuous ministers, there is a faint tug-of-war. The courtiers hope that the king will rule and let go of the general affairs, but the king hopes that everything can be controlled in the palm of his hand, in the past, when Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizongwen were very honest, these two can be said to be the founding sons of the country who immediately fought the world, and their authority and murderous nature are very heavy.
When he arrived in the Renzong Dynasty, the direction of the wind began to change, and the imperial historians began to point fingers at the affairs of the harem.
The emperor did not respect his father very much, and most of the imperial historians were just selling their fame, and locking him up was in vain to fulfill that person. But this is not to say that he intends to hand over the direction of his inner palace to the court to discuss. After all, palace affairs are just family affairs, and the ministers have no reason to ask. If this trend of thought is allowed to gain an inch, the majesty of the king will be eaten away step by step.
The twists and turns in this are incomprehensible to others, but the Queen Mother knows best, she nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it's good that you have such thoughts." Although we must select virtuous people and rely on our ministers, we can't do without our own ideas. β
Before the emperor's face was relaxed, the queen mother added slowly, "But this doesn't mean that the Xu family is going to be sealed, after all, the Xu family doesn't have children yet......"
"Mother!" The emperor was a little anxious, "How can you say that she has been with me for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, and now everyone is a concubine, and she is the only one who has a Zhaorong or something, they are all old people in the palace, she is lagging behind alone, can she feel better?" Even if it's someone else, it's cold when they see it-"
The Queen Mother finally relented, "That's it, seeing that you are in such a hurry, what about sealing the concubine?" β
She glanced at the emperor meaningfully, and her words were mysterious, "Finally, I'm not too stupid, I know how to fight for a few words for her, so that I won't give everything to my mother." β
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he completely understood, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while: Why is the Queen Mother against Concubine Xu Xunfeng? She's just beating herself...... Meritorious service is not rewarded, it makes people feel cold, this is the truth for Xu Xun, and it is naturally the same for Hu.
There are some things that the mother and son don't have to say too much, it's enough to mean it - after all, the son is also the emperor, and he always has to save some face. The Queen Mother didn't bother about this topic, but said, "As for those show girls, you can read them another day and choose some too." And the two big palace maids beside you, I remember that I sent them over, I have served you for many years, and now I should give a result. Whoever is in charge of these things, you can just watch and do it. β
Anyway, there is no difference in rank between the palace concubines, and they can't manage things, they all have to live with the palace concubines, no matter what they are sealed, the title is just good, and there is no difference in treatment in essence. Taisun didn't care much, "Then I'll take a look another day and choose a few people." After all, it is still in the filial piety period, and it is not easy to do a big job. Qing'er Zi'er has also worked hard for many years, why don't you seal a beauty? β
Although the treatment is about the same, but referring to the design of the previous dynasty, the beauty is also a relatively high-level feeling, and the Queen Mother did not agree, "I know that you are also sympathetic to the old people in the Hidden Mansion, but after all, they are not from the draft, and they are not from the right way." If you get a high position and give everyone a lot of thoughts, you will not have a peaceful time in your daily life in the future. β
The beauty was distracted, the queen mother didn't want the emperor to be tempted by beauty all the time, and the emperor had no intention of disagreeing with his mother on this matter, he nodded and said, "In this case, there are still a few palace maids, all of whom are also named ladies." According to the example of the time of the great grandfather, the palace ladies were to be promoted, and they were all sealed from the lady. β
This matter was settled, the Queen Mother nodded, and asked seemingly casually, "Who else are there besides Qing'er and Zi'er?" β
After all, it was to be sealed, and the emperor didn't think much about it, and happily explained the names of several people. The Queen Mother didn't say much, and the mother and son said a few more words, and the matter was considered over.
It was getting late, and the emperor retired from Qingning Palace and went back to his Qianqing Palace to rest. The Queen Mother leaned on the couch and didn't move for a long time, nor did she mention the matter of washing and resting, so the people below didn't dare to disturb her. The room was full of breathlessness, only the hourglass in the corner of the house, and the sound of a stream of water.
It took a long time for the Queen Mother to move.
"Ming'er......" She didn't name anyone to speak, but Aunt Meng had already consciously come to her side, "No...... Later, go to the Shang Sleep Bureau, adjust the files, and match the names of these palace maids. If there are new entrants after the Yulu Rebellion, focus on investigation. β
Aunt Meng's eyes widened suddenly: The Queen Mother's words are too troublesome to ponder.
Focus on checking, what to check?
After the Yulu Rebellion, a new group of palace maids were indeed selected to serve in the palace to fill the vacancies. In addition to their relatively junior qualifications, there is nothing special noteworthy about this group of people. The Queen Mother weishenme wants to focus on checking?
The Queen Mother will not explain these words, and she has to rely on her to figure out what she wants to do, so as not to make a mistake and cause the Queen Mother's displeasure. Aunt Meng didn't want to think about it anymore.
And if you think about it casually, the queen mother's purpose is also obvious - the emperor is interested in raising a palace maid, but it is not a big deal, and the Shang Sleep Bureau will not shy away from the record, after all, the bloodline of the dragon son and the phoenix grandson cannot be confused. Even if there were no female officials at that time, the lieutenants who served around him would go to the Shang Sleep Bureau to report and make a note of the person. There is no special reason, and you can't hide it from the sleeping bureau.
Unless...... It is filial piety.
In the past 27 days, the emperor didn't want to rest at all, even if he thought about it, he was powerless. And after twenty-seven days, everyone in Lin Xing is right, there is no need to be particularly taboo and not remember, besides, it is the Son of Heaven, and the inner living note must remember to be more standardized. What the Queen Mother thought should be in the filial piety period of Emperor Wen, at that time she appointed the prince to be filial piety, and all the palace concubines did not serve the prince, Xu Cairen was a little softer, and often "played chess" with the prince, but it was no more.
If you want her to go to the Shang Sleep Bureau, this should be the right one...... But Aunt Meng is also a little confused: which man doesn't steal? The queen mother is not so strict with her son......
But the reason for the queen mother is not something that she can ask as a palace maid, she sighed respectfully, "I'll do this early the morning after tomorrow." β
In the bottom of my heart, I was already thinking about the possible origins of these palace maids and where to inquire about them.
I went to the Shang Sleeping Bureau early in the morning after tomorrow, Aunt Meng already knew it in her heart, and she came back to report to the Queen Mother, "I have checked, these six palace maids, Chen Baobao's daughter Nan'er, were originally serving beside He Cairen, and it was recorded on the file that they were favored in the winter of the previous year......"
Shortly after the funeral of Emperor Wen last year, because the grandson became the crown prince, the palace personnel had to be upgraded, and they were included in the East Palace to serve. So far, there is no mention of their names in the album of the Shang Sleep Bureau. As for the other four people, they are all recorded in the flower album, most of them have occasionally served the grandson in the past few years, which has left an impression on him, and now they are going to be sealed anyway, so they will be given a lowly name.
When the Queen Mother heard this, although she was still slightly dissatisfied, she didn't have a seizure - just two people, not too much. She pondered for a while, and then said, "The remaining four people, yes, these two people, give them the treatment of ladies, but they are not sealed, and when they see all the remaining concubines, they still act according to the palace maid etiquette." β
Aunt Meng was a little uneasy, "Will it be too face-saving for the eldest brother?" β
The Queen Mother snorted heavilyβalthough she was not so shy about pills now, her years of life in the palace had made it difficult for her to tell the truth even to Aunt Meng. "He knew in his heart that it was weishenme! If any of the people below come to inquire about the cause, then say my words: "The matter of the bed is happy and modest." There are some things that can never be encouraged! β
This dumb riddle made Aunt Meng confused - she was just worried about the relationship between mother and son, and she just persuaded such a sentence, but the queen mother reacted so much, but she didn't dare to say more.
Whether it is the former crown princess or the former crown princess, they have not yet been sealed, the concubine's body is unknown, and the affairs of the harem will not be said at all, it is all up to the queen mother - in fact, even if she can speak, she will not quarrel with the queen mother for the sake of the two palace maids. The emperor handed over this matter to the Queen Mother to do it again - it is also a common practice, who else will refute the Queen Mother's words? This matter was settled.
The palace concubines at the bottom, that is, the queen mother's words, the emperor didn't say anything when he knew, but the high-level concubines asked him to discuss the title with the queen mother, after reading the show girl, he discussed with his mother, added four more little wives to himself, and then began a series of canonization activities.
Canonizing the crown princess as the queen, there is nothing to say, the whole world is waiting for this logical day. Canonizing the crown prince and concubine as a concubine, there is nothing to say, canonizing the crown prince and talented He as a concubine, there is nothing to say, the ministers can't care about how the emperor rewards his little wife anyway.
As for the crown prince and talented Xu family, although he has no children and is not from his old background, he is diligent, gentle and virtuous because of his affairs - anyway, it is only because he is favored and meritorious, and he has to be named a virtuous concubine. When the concubine was recuperating in Nanjing, the emperor ordered a reward of gold and silver satin, and pointed to a boat, so that she entered Beijing to receive the book.
It is said that the ministers really can't care about how the emperor rewards his little wife, but the virtuous character of this virtuous concubine is really a bit too dazzling, Xu Xun has just hit the road, and between the government and the opposition, there are some voices that can't help but come out......
The author has something to say: the beginning is a virtuous concubine
Don't say I don't kiss my mother
I always think that Concubine De and Concubine Xian are two very high-level concubines, and they are higher than Concubine Shun and Concubine Ning, but in fact, there is no difference in treatment in the Ming Dynasty.
