Chapter 166: Concubine Chen
Chen, where the purple microstar is located.
Ziweixing is also known as the star of the emperor, so Chen also often refers to the emperor, the throne, and the palace.
In the harem of the Tang Dynasty, there are four ladies under the queen, namely the noble concubine, the lady concubine, the German concubine, and the virtuous concubine. One queen and four concubines, they are all a radish and a pit, and a title is only awarded to one person. There will never be a situation like the Northern Qi Dynasty where there are four or five queens at the same time.
And in the emperor's harem today, the positions of the first queen and the four concubines are full.
Under the four concubines are the nine concubines, and the first of the nine concubines is Zhaoyi.
The Wu family's title in the palace now is Zhaoyi, which is the head of the nine concubines. Speaking of which, this grade is not low, but after all, there are four concubines and one queen above.
The emperor is extremely Pang Wu, and the Wu family is naturally not satisfied with the status of a Zhaoyi.
Today, Li Zhi tentatively proposed to the eldest grandson Wuji to abolish Queen Wang, and the implication in his words was to imply that the Liwu clan was the queen.
This is a bold proposal, in fact, Li Zhi himself has little self-confidence. After all, the Wu family is just a Zhaoyi, especially before he was a talented person of Taizong, a talented person is the fifth grade of the harem, and there are Jieyu and nine concubines, as well as the fourth lady and the queen.
But no matter what, talented people are one of the emperor's harem concubines, even if the status is low, but this identity is there. Li Zhi took the Wu family back to the palace back then, that is, to take his father's woman back to his palace, which was already very controversial.
Now if you want to make her the queen, not to mention that the eldest grandson does not agree, even the other ministers estimate that few agree.
Besides, even if the queen is abolished, it will not be the turn of the Wu family, after all, there are still four concubines in front of them.
Therefore, when the eldest grandson opposed the abolition of the empress, Li Zhi immediately put forward another proposal to canonize the Wu family as a concubine.
Since there are people in the positions of the four concubines, let's set up a special one.
And Li Zhi set up a new concubine number, he definitely didn't want this concubine number to be under the four concubines, otherwise the Wu family's Zhaoyi was already one of the four concubines, so why create another concubine number for the Wu family.
Concubine Chen, the word used is very special, and it can even be said to be a little overstepping.
Using Chen, who specifically refers to the emperor, to be the title of concubine, how can the eldest grandson Wuji not hear the reason, he will not agree at once.
"Concubine Chen has no such number, so it will be impossible." The eldest grandson, Wuji, directly objected.
When it comes to eating this portion, there is no point in eating it anymore.
Li Zhi put down his wine glass, and his strength was a little great. The wine glass slammed down on the table, and Li Zhi's knuckles were a little white.
Today, he listened to the words of the Wu family, and specially drove to the Taishi Mansion to give the eldest grandson face in every possible way, and gave ten carts of jewelry, and gave many children and honors of the eldest grandson family.
But the eldest grandson just didn't enter the oil and salt, and he refused to leave the court, nor did he refuse to hand over power, and he didn't agree to abolish the queen and queen, and he refused to let go even if he established the Wu family as the concubine.
This old immortal, he scolded with hatred in his heart.
In the past, he had great respect and gratitude for this uncle. Thanks to him for allowing him, who was the ninth son of the emperor, to become the crown prince and succeed to the throne as the emperor, but now he also hates this uncle and hates him for holding on to power.
Li Zhi is gone.
Eyes are red when you walk.
He deeply understood that it was impossible to make the eldest grandson Wuji take the initiative to withdraw from the court, and it was even more impossible to let him hand over power.
If he, the Son of Heaven, wanted to truly hold power, he had to take it back from his uncle.
The eldest grandson Wuji said that he didn't have any other intentions, but that Taizong had ordered him to be the minister of care, and he had to protect the young emperor again.
But Li Zhi couldn't listen to it, and he had been on the throne for five years.
has been the Son of Heaven for five years, and has also listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji for five years, and now I don't want to listen to it anymore.
In the carriage.
Wu Shi held Li Zhi's hand and reassured, "Your Majesty has been waiting for five years, are you still afraid of waiting any longer?" ”
"I can't wait."
"The concubine today looks at the eldest Uncle Sun Guo, who is already old, and even faint. If he still had half of the wisdom when he assisted Emperor Taizong back then, he shouldn't have treated His Majesty like that today. But with his appearance, it is estimated that he will not have a few years to live. ”
Li Zhi stroked the hand of his concubine and said hatefully, "I have waited for five years, but I don't want to wait for another five years, even if it's three years." The eldest grandson Wuji is getting older and older, and he is becoming more and more domineering, who knows what else he will do. ”
A son of heaven, if he can't even abolish the queen he hates, if he can't even give a concubine title to the woman he loves, and even can't decide on such an important thing as establishing a prince, then what kind of emperor is he.
"I am determined to get rid of the eldest grandson Wuji, abolish the Wang family, and abolish Li Zhong."
The eldest grandson Wuji is the prime minister, and he is the representative of the Guanlong group, and the head of the patriarchal faction, and the Wang family is the queen, the queen Wang who was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and there is also the support of the five surnames and seven sects of the Dongshi clan behind him, the crown prince Li Zhong, although he was born to the palace man Liu, but he is already the person who supports the two interest groups of the eldest grandson Wuji and Queen Wang.
Behind Li Zhong, standing are not only the eldest grandson Wuji and Queen Wang, but also the two major groups of the Guanlong Group and the Guandong Shi Clan, although the Guanlong Group and the Guandong Shi Clan are not all on their side, but they also represent the majority.
Such a powerful force converging together makes Li Zhi restless day and night.
He was very worried that one day, the eldest grandson Wuji would abolish him, or directly empty him.
"Fortunately, Taizong left me Li Ji back then." Li Zhi sighed.
Li Ji is usually cautious and does not say much, but this time the standing in line at a critical time still makes Li Zhi deeply gratified, if there is no support from Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin and others, he can only sigh in the face of the eldest grandson Wuji's domineering at this time.
·······
Taishifu.
The emperor left, leaving only a mess.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was a little haggard, and he sat in the hall, reluctant to leave.
Today's eldest grandson Wuji seems to have reached a peak.
Taishi, Zhizhongshu, two provincial affairs, three products under the same book, presiding over the government!
is still the uncle of the current emperor, and the eldest grandson's mansion occupies half of this square of land, but it is extremely prosperous and must decline.
"Father." The eldest son of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson, rushed over.
"Is Your Majesty gone?"
"I'm out of the house."
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed.
The eldest grandson Chong is the eldest son of the eldest grandson Wuji, who married Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle, whom Taizong liked, and worshiped as the captain of the concubine. Although Princess Changle died of illness in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, he was also Taizong's son-in-law and the brother-in-law of the current emperor.
Combined with his father's power, he now holds the important position of secretary and provincial secretary in the court.
The secretary province is the place where the emperor manages books and handles some clerical work, if compared, the secretary can be roughly equivalent to the director of the general office of the Central Committee in later generations, maybe not so powerful, but it is also an important position around the emperor.
When Wei Zheng sprayed Taizong, he held this position, and also participated in the government politics with this position.
He stood beside his father, looked at his tired father, and stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, say it." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
