Chapter 131: After Yang Guizhi was sealed
Jingzhou was caught off guard
Scheming gets what you want
That morning, the officials were waiting for the emperor to come to the court in the courtyard to wait for the emperor, and they saw Yang Cishan hurriedly ascending the hall from Yueyang Jiedu, taking out the edict from his sleeve and reading it out in public:
"The emperor has an edict to canonize Yang Guifei as the queen."
After that, he gave the royal approval to Han Yanxuan and several governors. With just one glance, Han Yanxuan could conclude that this was the handwriting of the current emperor Zhao Kuo.
This result was somewhat unexpected to him. Han Yanxuan vaguely felt that in the matter of Lihou, he despised and underestimated this Yang Guizhi, and carelessly lost Jingzhou. Of course, he didn't know that it was this confusion and carelessness that finally caused him to fall into the abyss from which he could never recover.
In the winter of the sixth year of Qingyuan, Empress Han died. The problem of the queen is in front of them, and the concubines of the harem are fighting openly and secretly for this, among which Yang Guifei and Cao Meiren are the most favored by the emperor Zhao Kuo, so they have the greatest chance of getting the position of the queen.
Yang Guizhi is smart and shrewd, and proficient in book history, not long after the death of Empress Han, she was promoted from Wanyi to a concubine, only one step away from the queen's position.
Cao Meiren has a gentle and supple personality, which is very different from Yang Guifei. It is said that her conditions are weaker than Yang Guizhi's. But she has one advantage: she has a relatively close relationship with the four wives of the Han family. Due to the relationship between Han Yanxuan, the four wives of the Han family often went in and out of the palace, and sat and walked together with the concubines, regardless of dignity and inferiority. In this regard, Yang Guifei expressed dissatisfaction in her words and demeanor, but Cao Meiren has always treated her with her face.
Before, he had put forward his own suggestions to the emperor Zhao Kuo on the matter of the post-establishment of the queen: Yang Guifei is quite scheming, and Cao Meiren is soft and kind, and the queen must be a virtuous person like Cao Meiren. That day, the emperor didn't know what was going on, he was absent-minded, and said:
"There's no hurry, we'll discuss it another day."
At that time, he didn't care, too, now that the temple desert has been decided, Han followed the jade chariot, vertical and horizontal, advancing and retreating, all under control. After the emperor wants to be established, he will definitely consult with him, as long as he discusses this matter with his courtiers, he is sure that the emperor will listen to him.
Now I suddenly issued an edict, I really didn't expect it.
In fact, what he didn't expect was not limited to this.
On that day, Han Yanxuan suggested to the emperor about the establishment of Cao Meiren, so that the little chamberlain on duty could hear it clearly. This little chamberlain is a relative of one of Yang Cishan's staff, so Yang Guifei soon knew about Han Yanxuan's refusal to see Yang Guizhi. The seeds of hatred were planted in the heart of this ambitious woman, and finally the powerful minister who despised her was killed.
Since the death of Queen Han, Yang Guizhi has been salivating over this queen's throne. Looking at the harem concubines, there are many mountains at a glance, and no one can match them.
Knowing that Lord Han didn't want to see her, she had the intention of becoming a beauty, and in addition to resentment, she felt that she should act quickly and take the lead before Lord Han.
Yang Shi, the second son of Yang Cishan, the envoy of Yueyang Jiedu and the deputy governor of the soldiers and horses in western Zhejiang, married his wife, and his aunt Yang Guifei drove the Yang Mansion. After some red tape, Yang Cishan saw that the concubine had something to say, so he retreated left and right, and the brother and sister talked secretly.
As the elder brother of his mother's family, everything about the concubine, no matter how small, he will take it to heart. Compared to the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty harem was much smaller in size. Emperor Zhao Kuo's physique is thin and weak, and there are only about a dozen concubines in the harem. In the Nuoda harem, although the concubine and the queen are only one level apart, they cannot be compared. Now this sister, for the seemingly easy to get something, her eagerness can be felt from the first sight of the mansion.
Before the concubine could speak, Yang Cishan said in a consultative tone:
Tomorrow, I will ask Lord Lou to fold and ask the emperor to promote you to the queen, and I will find a few more ministers to second.
The concubine waved her hand: No, in this way, the ministers will be allowed to gather and discuss, and the surname Han can make a big fuss, and there may not be a good result.
Yang Cishan's mind flashed, and he came up with an idea: use the imperial pen to criticize directly.
Yes, this is the surname Han's trick to deal with Prime Minister Zhao. Yang Guifei smiled. A brother and sister joined forces, and the strategy of striking first was formed.
During this time, Yang Guifei and Cao Meiren were very affectionate and talked like sisters. She said to Cao Meiren: "From now on, the position of the middle palace is nothing more than you and me, but Your Majesty has not yet decided, we sisters may as well set up a table to invite Your Majesty to be fortunate and see what he means?" Cao Meiren didn't think much about it, so she agreed. It's just that it's too early or late to set up a table to invite the emperor, Yang Guifei pretended to be an orangutan and said, I'm my sister, and my sister will come first. Cao Meiren didn't know what the plan was, but secretly rejoiced, and pretended to put it off for a while, so she happily went to invite the emperor Zhao Kuo as promised.
At noon, Zhao Kuo first went to the Cuihua Palace where Cao Meiren was located, and Cao Meiren arranged the carefully prepared wine and food to accompany her. She knew that the emperor couldn't drink too much wine, so she didn't persuade her much, as usual, chatting while eating, until she finished eating, and she was embarrassed to say what she had thought about for a long time. Suddenly, the palace maid reported that Yang Guifei was here. Cao Meiren had no choice but to sit down and invite Yang Guifei in. Yang Guifei smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "The official family, we should treat our sisters equally, regardless of each other, you have already come here, now you should go to the concubine's residence and sit for a while." When Zhao Kuo heard Concubine Yang say this, he stood up and was about to leave, Cao Meiren hurriedly pulled the emperor's sleeve and asked the official family to rest here. Where would Yang Guifei give her a chance, and said: "Why is my sister so anxious, when the official family goes to my sister, just say a few words and come back in a moment, aren't you reluctant to give up for a while?" Cao Meiren blushed and couldn't speak, Yang Guifei picked up Zhao Kuo and left.
When she arrived at her Luanfeng Palace, Yang Guifei served tea, sang her newly composed song to the emperor, and then served the emperor to rest in the morning.
In the evening, Luanfeng Palace was dressed up extraordinarily beautifully. The red candle shines high, the human face is like a flower, and the thick musk smell wafts from the indoor incense burner, which is filled with an elegant and soft romantic mood.
The emperor was overwhelmed by alcohol, and soon became hazy, Yang Guifei was extraordinarily sexy and enchanting, whispering earnestly, and being a concubine, she couldn't help but hug each other tightly, and then kissed sweetly. Yang Guifei took advantage of the situation to be coquettish:
"Don't worry, as long as you agree to a small wish of the slave family, the official family can play as much as they want, and it's all up to the official family."
The emperor was anxious, so he wanted to get her as soon as possible, and at this time she wanted the moon in the sky, and she would also pick it off, "Good sister, be careful of your liver, what do you want." ”
"Actually, it's not difficult, as long as the official family says a word." Yang Guifei said coquettishly:
Yang Guifei said coquettishly: "Official, I want to be the queen!" ”
The emperor blurted out, "What's so difficult about that, I'm right." ”
The well-behaved Yang Guifei took the pen and paper, "There is no basis for what you say, please ask the official to issue an edict," Zhao Kuo picked up the pen and immediately wrote an edict to make Concubine Yang the queen. Yang Guifei was secretly happy in her heart, and kissed the emperor coquettishly, "Annoying the official's family to write again." ”
got two edicts and instructed the maid to send the edicts to Yang Cishan overnight. Then untie the emperor's wide clothes, and strip himself naked, Lang is a concubine, lingering, and extremely happy.
After Yang Cishan got it, according to the concubine's explanation in advance, one was handed over to the Chinese book to save the normal procedure, and the other was read by him, a two-pronged approach, a fait accompli, and it was useless for anyone to object.
After Yang Guizhi was canonized as the queen, Han Yanxuan was crowned as a prince and gave a jade belt.
