120. Something happened
Don't look at the emperor's lightheartedness, but the rebellion of the vassal king is always a big deal, and it is impossible for him to leave it alone and do nothing, and Xu Xun said this, and said, "After all, we still have to invite the cabinet ministers to come in and discuss." β
Xu Xun still doesn't know what to do? Immediately I knew that I had returned to the palace, sat in my room and thought about it, and I was a little worried in addition to excitement: although this is not the first time, but there is a precedent of Emperor Wen in front of me, who knows if King Han can succeed, speaking of which, he is also a person with military merits.
When talking about the usurpation of the throne by this uncle of the dynasty, we can't help but mention the past when Emperor Wen seized the world. Although Xu Xun has never been interested in asking about the political affairs of foreign dynasties, he also knows more or less in his heart that after the emperor ascended the throne, he comforted the vassal kings more, especially the two uncles of King Han and King Zhao. The emperor also gave face to the political advice of the Han king, and this was because their relationship was very similar to that between the Jianshu people and Emperor Wen in the past. They are all the grandsons of the first to be established, and Emperor Zhao's reign is very short, so it can also be said that the grandfather's power is directly excessive to his grandson.
At that time, the Jianshu people were quite young, but the vassal kings were strong and strong, and the Jianshu people misheard the slander and treated the uncles poorly. Emperor Wen couldn't bear to depose this incompetent emperor - although the king of Han and the king of Zhao no longer have the military power in the Jingnan period, but the military achievements are still there, even if they have some small mistakes, but if the court treats them harshly, maybe some people will mention the past of the year.
Uncle made his nephew rebel, but it is a family heirloom, Xu Xun thought a little rebelliously-in fact, he was also a little worried. Who let the last time my uncle rebelled, the winner was my uncle's side?
If King Han can succeed in rebellion, these dark tides in the harem are surging now, and they are nothing. From the queen to the beauties who are not listed, there is an estimate that they all have to die, even if they survive, they can no longer return to their previous lives. -- All of their families depend on the emperor, and if the emperor falls, what good life can the mother's family have?
If this news is going to spread, it is estimated that the queen's stomach will not be the target of everyone's concern. Xu Xun thought about it, but also felt a little relaxed: in the past few years, although she hasn't revealed much to others, she really wants a child. Daily maintenance, monthly pampering, are all earned around the child. Now that I have something else to distract myself, it's a bit of a spice.
However, it was Xu Xun who met by fate and heard the emperor mention such a sentence. In the next few days, there was still no news in the palace, and even the lieutenants did not leak anything. Xu Xun speculated that the outer dynasty might not know about this matter, it was just a secret report from Jinyiwei. Generally speaking, the news is spread in foreign courts, and the officials will not keep it secret from the palace.
However, the emperor's steps to Qingning Palace to ask for peace are obviously much more frequent. The matter of selecting female officials is no longer mentioned, Xu Xun naturally will not do anything about it, she is now waiting every day for when King Han will officially rebel, and she can't wait to watch social dramas when she was a child.
At the beginning of August, this matter finally broke out completely, and almost overnight, the news spread all over the palace, and even the queen made an exception to come out of the apse of Kunning Palace, where she raised her baby, and participated in the three days of the concubines.
"The king of Han is rebelling." The queen's face was pale, and she said straight to the point, "The country will have military affairs, and the emperor intends to drive the expedition in person." Our sisters and others should guard the door in the palace, live a good life, and don't add trouble to the eldest brother's heart. β
This time it was a big invitation, and the little concubines had also arrived, and when they heard that the emperor was going to drive the imperial expedition in person, they all had different faces, some were excited, some were afraid, and some were worried. However, several concubines were very calm, He Xianxian looked indifferent, as for Sun Guifei, she should have known it for a long time, and added without any discoloration, "My sister is pregnant, and it is a big matter to raise a fetus." Several of our sisters are young and thin, and they are afraid that they will not be able to convince the public, and they also ask my sister to make suggestions to the Queen Mother, and ask Niangniang to come forward to suppress the court. β
This is no longer the time for open and secret fighting, there is no old and authoritative housekeeper, what if the court war is unfavorable and is beaten to the city by the army of the Han king? In the affairs of the court, of course, there are cabinet ministers and vassal kings who supervise the country, but there are nearly 1,000 people in the harem, how can they manage it without any ability? is assigned to Zhao Zhaorong to take charge, and everyone will not be convinced. The queen mother came forward is the best way, how many ups and downs her old man has experienced, and with her in town, there will be chaos in this palace.
Xu Xun and He Xianxian had no objections, the concubines were not qualified to speak at all, the queen and Sun Guifei may have already had a tacit understanding, and when they heard this, they nodded and said, "That's the case-it's just that I want to have a safe pregnancy, and it's inconvenient to move around, so this matter will be discussed with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will come forward to invite me." β
The more the country is in danger, the greater the importance of the prince. It seems that it is impossible to change the decision of the emperor's imperial expedition, so if something happens to him during the expedition, everyone in the palace will have to count on the unborn child in the queen's womb. -- At least there is hope. Otherwise, even if the King of Han is repulsed, a group of people will not have a good life. Being the emperor's nephew and daughter-in-law is not a very beautiful thing, and being the emperor's sister-in-law is not much better, most of them are forced to die with the emperor.
Therefore, the queen was not hypocritical at this time, and directly said that she wanted to raise a fetus. Everyone also had no objection at all: looking at the queen's face, the fetal gas of this fetus may indeed not be very stable. Xu Xun was the first to dare to sit for a long time, and when he saw that he was done, he stood up and resigned.
And then...... Then there was nothing, as a member of the senior concubines, Xu Xun learned from Sun Guifei at this time to restrain the people under her hands, and the rest of the things were arranged by others, and then quietly witnessed the development of things.
Things are also developing step by step, the army is assembled in the capital, the big and small etiquette before the royal drive is arranged, the personnel deployment is arranged, the grain and grass along the way are arranged, and the political affairs during the expedition are arranged...... During the emperor's expedition, the palace was in charge of the queen mother, and the palace was supervised by King Zheng and King Xiang, which were all step-by-step matters. At that time, when Emperor Zhao died, the emperor had not rushed back, and these two vassal kings had also been in charge of the country for two days.
Xu Xun here, no matter who is in charge of the country, it has nothing to do with her, as a woman of the grandson, she has never seen a man of the same age after entering the palace, even if it is in the palace, someone will report it first, so as not to collide with each other. As long as the rules are not chaotic, even if her own father is in charge of the country, Xu Xun will not have the opportunity to meet her regardless of palace affairs. She just lived her life quietly in the palace, and her life was not much different except for the fact that she had eaten a little less - it was also an old tradition to reduce food during wartime.
The emperor was quite busy, and he really had enough fallow this time - since the day the news of the King of Han came back, he had not entered the harem much, nor had he recruited anyone to sleep. Of course, there will be no room for the concubines to stage eighteen phases before the imperial conquest, and the night before leaving, he went to Qingning Palace to ask for peace, and stayed for two hours, which is all the contact between the emperor and the inner palace during this time. Even the queen and the concubine were no exception, they didn't see the emperor for more than half a month, and the emperor left the city directly. The concubines are not as good as the lieutenants, they can follow the left and right, and maybe they can make a little credit or something.
However, it doesn't mean that everything is business as usual in the harem. After all, the rebellion of the Han King was violent, and it is said that now all parts of Shandong have been shaken. There is also a saying that King Zhao in Zhangde is also happy to see his brother's actions come to fruition - it has not been long since he became a vassal, and the blood in King Zhao's heart has not yet dissipated, anyway, now the Zhangde area is also rumored, and it seems that Henan will soon be in chaos.
Henan and Shandong are not far away, there are many people in the palace, and some rumors are inevitable. Now the queen's residence must be heavily protected, connecting Sun Guifei and He Xianxian, because there is a little princess, so she is also taken care of by the queen mother, but Xu Xun is here, because there is no imperial heir, and it is not a very important person, it is the same as usual, there is nothing different.
Although he really wanted to get together with a friend like He Xianxian at this time and talk about the war outside, Xu Xun also knew that this was impossible, not only could he not go out to visit friends now, but he should also try to go out as much as possible. The emperor just went out that day, she didn't even go out of the yard for a day, took a nap in the afternoon, got up to read a few books by the window, and used some ice to cool off by the way, which was also quite leisurely.
Although Liu Zhien and the others went on a bad trip as usual, there was nothing to do - Xu Xun had already sent someone to beat several subordinates in the harem sternly: For a while, there is no major matter of human life, so it is best not to look for trouble. There was nothing to do inside and outside the palace of Yong'an Palace, although the atmosphere was a little tense, but the real deacons were idle.
At this time, it is easy to see who has no bearing. Mama Sun and Mama Li were a little worried, Mama Sun had already had two seizures in the morning - of course, Wang Jin also went out with the army this time, and it should be that Mama Sun was particularly worried.
However, Mama Qian and Liu Zhien were very calm, one was doing needlework in the yard, and the other was chatting with Zhao Lun in charge of the pantry in a low voice. Although she can't make a little noise when she is on duty according to the rules, she can only stand against the rules like Hong'er and Lan'er, but they are all old people for many years, and Xu Xun doesn't restrain them much, and she likes it too. In this way, Yong'an Palace can still be more popular, and the atmosphere can be a little warmer.
Whenever there is calm in major events, although Xu Xun thinks that he is not a prime minister, he is not willing to panic and pour out everything in his heart to others. Although she was also worried about the emperor in her heart, she didn't want to talk much about military affairs-no one in Yong'an Palace knew how to march and fight, and what she said was in vain. put down the book and gossiped with Hong'er, "You say, what kind of food will be served in the imperial dining room today?" Will it be reduced again? β
This is all the royal conquest, and the concubines in the palace don't want to continue to eat and drink well, and live a peaceful life with singing and dancing. Hong'er thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it will be reduced-but, no matter how you reduce it, it won't be like the smell of the mother." β
"I only need half a steamed bun to eat." Xu Xunle was happy, "Could it be that I usually eat the dishes on the big table alone?" Isn't that for your sake? There are fewer dishes to be delivered, and you don't eat much, so you really suffer. β
"Slaves and maidservants have their own examples." Hong'er also smiled and followed Xu Xun's words. "In the past, if the mother had a reward, then eat the mother's, if the mother has no surplus food here, then go back and eat a share."
Just as she was laughing, Mama Qian heard it outside the window, so she said through the window, "Speaking of which, your menstrual affairs have been late for a while, if you haven't it today, how many patches of medicine do you need?" β
Xu Xun's menstrual affairs have not been very accurate since the miscarriage. With her identity, there is no need for the doctor to prescribe medicine now, and she always asks the doctor to help the pulse. Once you enter and exit, according to the rules, you have to report to the queen. Now that it is eventful, with her temperament, she will definitely not go to the doctor for a few days after the menstrual period, so Mama Qian directly asked if she wanted to use the prescription haode.
"It's only three days late." These three days are not too late for Xu Xun at all. "There's been a lot of things lately, and it's normal to be a few days late, so don't use medicine first, and then wait."
Because I thought about it, I discussed with Mama Qian, "Speaking of which, this female history has to be selected more quickly." A while ago, there was a wind chill in the womb, and there was no one in the sixth bureau and one division, and it was still a haode to directly pull the palace maid to fill the faΓ§ade in the Shang Sleep Bureau, and there was only one southern doctor in the Shang Food Bureau, and there was nowhere to find the doctor in a hurry, what if typhoid fever was prevalent in the palace again? It's not like it's going to be messed up yet. β
"Speaking of which, it's been a few years of hard work, but now there is really no one for female officials." Mama Qian also sighed, "There are many things that have to be done by the eunuchs - but they are not women after all, and some things are really inconvenient for them to do." β
A few people talked about it, and it was evening, and Liu Zhien went out directly at sunset - eunuchs generally did not stay in the palace, and after the first shift, the palace gate was a thousand taels. Xu Xun washed up, drank a cup of hot brown sugar water and was ready to sleep.
But at this time, there was some noise in the palace, and the usual rattle that came and went in the distance was gone, and there seemed to be muffled shouts and footsteps in the distance......
Xu Xun just lay on the bamboo bed, and he couldn't sit still when he heard the movement, and the thin quilt jumped out of bed, "What's the matter, the emperor just left today, so some people can't bear it?" β
Several grandmothers were also frightened, huddled around Xu Xun, everyone listened carefully, but didn't hear any movement, Sun Mama wanted to go out to investigate, but Xu Xun stopped: "The melon field is under the plum, I have to guard against it." We'll talk about that tomorrow. β
Although it can be held, it will be difficult to sleep well that night. Xu Xun woke up before dawn the next day, and walked around the house for a long time, and it was easy to wait for Liu Zhien to come before he had to tell him why he wanted to go out to investigate, but Liu Zhien had already come here with the latest news.
"It's the Kunning Palace that has an accident." Liu Zhien's face was solemn, "Last night, someone was sneaking around the Kunning Palace, and I didn't know what I wanted, and I was discovered by the guards on duty in the Kunning Palace, and immediately shouted a loud reprimand, and then fled." But they didn't catch up. β
Not to mention a few grandmothers, even Xu Xun, couldn't help but change her color, she grabbed the back of the chair, and her knuckles turned white. "I don't mean that the Great Inner Forbidden Land has also been infiltrated by the King of Han?"
At this time, no concubine would have the idea of beating the queen's fetus, even if they had the heart and the ability, only the subordinates of the king of Han would be so desperate and desperate to destroy the only hope of the emperor's heir - only in this way can they echo with Le'an's side. And if the King of Han even infiltrated the inner palace, what if he was by the emperor's side, there were also his henchmen?
Xu Xun asked herself not to diverge so much, she still focused on the matter in front of her, she thought about it for a long time, Fang raised her hand to hide her face, and let out a long sigh, "Now, the palace is really going to be chaotic......"
