Chapter 15: Conflict
When Zhang Yan arrived at Yikun Palace, Zhu Youxiao was still asleep, but when he heard that the queen was coming to Yikun Palace, Fan hurriedly got up quietly, "Concubine knock to see the queen!" Fan said respectfully.
"What about the emperor?" Zhang Yan glared at Fan and said.
"The emperor is still resting." Fan whispered.
"Don't you know that the emperor has to get up early every morning to exercise?" Zhang Yan blamed.
"The concubine knows her mistakes." Fan said softly. But she didn't have the slightest remorse on her face, her status was just a little lower than Zhang Yan, in the palace, the imperial concubine was only second only to the queen, and higher than the average concubine.
"Take this palace to see the emperor." Zhang Yan said coldly.
"But the emperor is still resting." Fan emphasized.
"This palace is ordered by the emperor to supervise the emperor's daily exercise, but you want to stop this palace?" Zhang Yan said angrily.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Fan took a step back and said. Although her status is a little lower than Zhang Yan, it is this that Zhang Yan can crush the Fan family to death.
In fact, when Fan got up, he had no intention of waking up Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao really didn't want to move, so he didn't get up, but he heard everything that happened outside the room clearly.
In the past, there was a Hakka family who had monopoly power in the palace, and everyone's contradictions were contradictions with the Hakka clan. Now that the Hakka has fallen, the subject of the contradiction has naturally shifted. The contradictions between the concubines began to come to the fore, but they came faster than Zhu Youxiao imagined. For such a contradiction, Zhu Youxiao doesn't know how to deal with it at all, he is really envious of those who have crossed the same time, no matter how many wives he marries, the wives get along with each other, but now it has become like this when it comes to him.
As Zhu Youxiao, who has the thoughts of a modern person, he feels that this is a very headache. Why did I cross over and everything didn't go my way? Zhu Youxiao shouted silently in his heart.
"Baozhu, I'm already up, it's not right for me today, I promise not next time." Zhu Youxiao said apologetically.
"This matter is not the emperor's business, and the emperor is not at fault." Zhang Yan looked at Fan and said.
Fan didn't quibble, just looked at Zhu Youxiao with a face full of grievances, Zhu Youxiao, as a person who crossed over from later generations, was deeply "poisoned" by the idea of equality between men and women in that era, and women must not be held responsible in this case. Zhu Youxiao said: "Baozhu, this matter really has nothing to do with the Fan family, I really can't control it at once." ”
"Your Majesty, as the emperor's concubine, you should have the responsibility to remind the emperor. The emperor has said to his concubine many times, you must not indulge in lust, Your Majesty is sensible, but being a concubine is not necessarily sensible. Zhang Yan saw that Zhu Youxiao was still helping Fan speak, and became even more angry.
"I said forget it, I don't care about right or wrong anymore." Zhu Youxiao was a little impatient.
"Concubine knows, Your Majesty, are you still doing today's exercise?" Zhang Yan saw that Zhu Youxiao was going to be angry, and she didn't dare to continue to care.
"Naturally, such a thing should not be wasted for a day, if it is wasted once, it is easy to give up later. Orb, you did a very good job and were very conscientious, and continue to keep it up in the future. Zhu Youxiao encouraged.
"This is the duty of a concubine." Zhang Yan replied respectfully.
"Aifei, you can also go with me." Zhu You said to Fan.
"No." Fan happily replied.
……
It is a very pleasant thing to exercise with the two beauties, but it is a pity that there are no sexy workouts now, otherwise it would be a different mood. Although Zhu Youxiao is a little floating now, after this period of exercise, Zhu Youxiao's physical fitness has been significantly improved.
When Zhu Youxiao passed by Chengqian Palace, he heard a strange sound, and Zhu Youxiao asked, "What is this sound?" What happened to Chengqian Palace? ”
"The imperial concubine is not in good health during this time, and she is asking the Taoist priest to pray for blessings." Zhang Yan replied.
"There are still Taoist priests in the palace of the emperor and concubine?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously.
This imperial concubine, Zhu Youxiao is very clear, it is the Zheng Emperor concubine of Mingshenzong, that is, his grandfather's little wife. Zhu Youxiao's father only became the emperor for a month before he hung up, and he had a lot to do with this Emperor Zheng concubine. And Emperor Zheng Guifei has a son named Zhu Changxun, that is, King Fu, but he is rich and ruthless, at least much richer than he is now.
For this kind of rich vassal king, Zhu Youxiao has been thinking about what means to use to scrape and peel the skin on them.
"Of course, it is a female Taoist, since King Fu left the Jingshi, the imperial concubine has believed in Taoism, and she has also recruited several female Taoists to practice together in Chengqian Palace." Zhang Yan replied.
"Let's go, let's take a look together, the emperor and concubine are not in good health, and we should be filial." Zhu Youxiao said.
……
When Zhu Youxiao and a few people came in, the small Taoist puja held in the Chengqian Palace had just begun. The Empress Dowager and Concubine sat on the top in a Taoist robe, while the rest of the female concubines were presiding over the puja.
"Meet the Empress and the Princess." Zhu Youxiao said softly.
"Respectfully to the Emperor and the Princess." Zhang Yan and a few others said together.
"Let's all be flat. Why does the emperor have time to come here today? Zheng asked, glancing at him.
"I heard that the Empress Dowager and Concubine are not in good health, so I came to see you to see what you need." Zhu Youxiao replied.
"The emperor has a heart, and he will talk about it after this festival." Zheng said.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and didn't say anything more. The festival is underway, and what can attract Zhu Youxiao is that the several female Taoists present look good, especially the female Taoist who presides over in the middle, and her appearance is definitely superior.
As for the methods used in the festival, Zhu Youxiao, as a person from later generations, knows too well, he understands the principles of what incense and candles are natural, and what paper money spontaneously combusts. If he were to do it, he would have more tricks, but he wouldn't be as skilled as them.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of a way to raise money, but he couldn't come forward with this method, and after using this method, he must not let people know that he came up with it, this method is too poisonous, and there are too many people who have harmed, so the fewer people who must know about this matter, the better, but the person who implements this method must have identity and status in order to carry it out.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao thought of using Taoism.
In the Ming Dynasty, Taoism flourished, especially headed by Zhengyi, at this time Zhengyi was a big real person, the title was regarded as the second product, and the matter of the sect was in charge, and during the Jiajing period, Zhengyi declined, and the forty-ninth generation of the heavenly master Zhang Yongxu had no children, "was sent to the real person, and was reassigned to the Shangqing Guanmen, ranked five products, given the copper seal, and was given the auspiciousness of his ancestors", and in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, it has been passed to the fifty-first generation.
