On the twenty-second day of the first month of the eighth year of Tianshun, Zhu Jianshen was on the throne, and the year number was Chenghua.

On the twelfth day of February in the eighth year of Tianshun, Emperor Tianshun was called,

However, from this moment on, the harem began to intrigue again, which was mixed with open and secret battles above the court, all of which originated from the imperial concubine Zhou.

Zhou Guifei's son became the emperor, she was promoted to the queen mother, Queen Qian was the queen, and now the position of the queen mother is a matter of course, the emblem was first selected as the Empress Dowager Ciyi, but it has not yet been finalized, at this time Zhou Guifei began to squeeze out Queen Qian everywhere, thinking that you are a blind and lame woman, who has occupied the position of the queen for so many years, the most annoying thing is that there is nothing to do in her life, and in the end, she is on an equal footing with the emperor's mother, and she also chose the emblem in advance, how can this make Zhou Guifei comfortable,

So, Zhou Guifei squeezed out Queen Qian everywhere, and was very dissatisfied with the matter of the emblem, someone began to discuss the matter under the allusion of Zhou Guifei, saying: "Queen Qian is a sick person, not enough to be called the queen, until the first emperor died, Queen Qian also has nothing to do in her life, so where did the queen mother say, according to Weichen's opinion, we should follow the precedent of the Xuanzong Dynasty, and abolish Queen Qian like the abolition of Queen Hu." ”

"In your opinion, what you see can be described as a fatherless and a kingless, and heaven does not tolerate it, and the eyes of the rat are inch-eyed." One person raised his voice and shouted, everyone looked for the sound and saw that it was Li Xian, although the minister was supported by Concubine Hou Zhou, but he did not dare to collide with Li Xian, Li Xian was the minister designated by the emperor to take care of his life, and everyone also knew that behind him was the cruel and ruthless Lu Qingtian who made several waves,

Of course, there are also those who are not afraid of death, and at this moment they stood up and said: "But the emperor's biological mother should be respected, how can the two palaces be respected, so according to the opinion of the lower officials, the emblem of Empress Qian should be removed, and the emperor's biological mother should be selected first, and then give Empress Qian the emblem of honor, and the Empress Dowager of Zhou should be established as the first empress dowager, which is the right reason." ”

Li Xian looked at the person who spoke, it turned out to be Xia Shi, this person was Zhou Guifei's cronie eunuch, Li Xian glared and said, "Are you the Empress Dowager or your own nonsense." ”

Xia Shi was speechless for a moment, his eyes were rolling around, thinking that if he said something wrong, he couldn't push it on Zhou Guifei, otherwise Zhou Guifei would definitely punish herself, and when the time came, there would be no minister to besiege it, it would be better to take it to herself, and Zhou Guifei could save her life, after all, Zhou Guifei is the biological mother of the current emperor and the queen mother, so Xia Shi said: "It's my own idea." ”

"You are a eunuch, you belong to the internal officials, how can it be your turn to intervene in such a major matter of the court." Li Xian said: "The edict of the first emperor has already been decided, you are a eunuch who says to change it, are you more noble than the first emperor?" ”

Xia Shi suddenly didn't dare to answer anymore, and then don't talk about whether Zhou Guifei can keep him, maybe he will have to beat him to death in front of the main hall with his fists and feet, this incident has not happened before, these civil officials are more desperate than military officials in a fight,

University scholar Peng Shi also entered the cabinet, and said at this moment: "I think what Master Li said is reasonable, the ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth are above, and the emperor should rule the world with filial piety, how can there be a reason to only respect the biological mother and not the grandmother." ”

Seeing that the two important ministers had spoken, everyone in the court quoted scriptures one after another, swore not to do this, and resisted Zhou Guifei to the end, Zhou Guifei sent someone to invite Lu Qingtian, but was told that Lu Qingtian went to play in the mountains and rivers, so he could only give up, in fact, Lu Qingtian saw Li Xian yesterday, entrusted Li Xian with a lot of things, and already regarded Li Xian as a pillar of the country to develop, and included him in the secret thirteen,

What kind of person is Li Xian, the important minister of the country, a chess piece buried next to Xu Youzhen back then, keenly discovered the organization of the secret thirteen, although I don't know who controlled it behind it, but decisively united with it to destroy Xu Youzhen, and later Lu Yunzhi explained the truth to Li Xian, Li Xian worshiped under Lu Yunzhi's door, but Lu Yunzhi did not allow him to join the secret thirteen, but Li Xian's rise over the years is inseparable from the secret thirteen,

In short, Li Xian's identity and power coupled with the strong support of the courtiers made Zhou Guifei have to stop temporarily, but she did not give up, but knocked on the side to Zhu Jianshen, hoping that he could help him win the most honorable position, Zhu Jianshen's deepest feeling is Wan Zhen'er, followed by Lu Yunzhi, of course, he did not find that Lu Qingtian at this time was no longer his father Lu Yunzhi,

Wan Zhen'er is already a member of the Secret Thirteen, although she doesn't participate in the usual actions, and she doesn't obey orders very much, but she is still a person in the organization, Wan Zhen'er is that Zhu Jianshen is even more, although she didn't say it clearly, but who doesn't know that Emperor Zhu Jianshen is Lu Qingtian's righteous son, and Li Xian is Lu Qingtian's person, they are the same power, although Zhou Guifei is Zhu Jianshen's biological mother, but she didn't raise Zhu Jianshen since she was a child, she was locked in the South Palace, Zhou Guifei was afraid of burning herself, so she didn't even see Zhu Jianshen, To this day, Zhu Jianshen still remembers the tragedy of his childhood, so for this biological mother, he only has the grace of life, the righteousness of not raising, and he has not much feelings.

Originally, Zhou Guifei thought that Zhu Jianshen had agreed to help herself, how to say that he was also her own biological son, but she never thought that Zhu Jianshen also agreed that Zhou Guifei and Queen Qian were both the queen mother, and they were equally honored and honored, Zhou Guifei was surprised, but she was helpless, so she could only cry secretly, and then ran to Lu Qingtian's mansion every day.

As the queen mother, she went out of the palace every day to find Lu Qingtian, Lu Qingtian is a widower, and it doesn't sound good to say, but for the grievances that she has "endured" for half her life, and the dignity in the future, Zhou Guifei also let it go, but it is said that she is aggrieved, but she only thinks so,

Lu Qingtian finally "came back", although he didn't go far, he just wanted to avoid Zhou Guifei, but he didn't expect that you Zhou Guifei would be so persevering, and come to the house every day as the queen mother, so they could only see each other, but the result was not surprising, Lu Qingtian also supported and respected the proposal, because Lu Yunzhi knew about Queen Qian's nightmare of admiration, so naturally he would not indulge Zhou Guifei in this kind of thing,

Zhou Guifei was disappointed, and Lu Qingtian also made compensation accordingly, promising to build three identical tombs in the underground palace of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, so that Zhou Guifei and Queen Qian could also be buried in the underground palace of Zhu Qizhen a hundred years later, which can be regarded as compensation for Zhou Guifei, Zhou Guifei was more satisfied with this result, because Zhu Qizhen's edict did not mention the desire to be buried with her, only Queen Qian,

In March of the eighth year of Tianshun, that is, the two months after Zhu Qizhen's death, Empress Qian was officially given the emblem, Empress Dowager Ciyi, on that day, Zhou Guifei did not eat.
