Chapter 26: Harem Crisis
"In this harem, the status of the old body is the largest, and if the old body gives an order, who dares to disobey it." Zhao Wei said arrogantly.
"Has Her Royal Highness forgotten the incident of the Nata Day a few months ago?" Tian Bi said casually when he heard this.
Zhao Weihou was speechless when he heard this, and fell into memories, and what happened in Ji Tian Ri reappeared in his mind.
It is said that in the first year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, in order to show the new atmosphere of the new dynasty, the government and the opposition decided to celebrate on the day of the field and have fun with the people.
What is Nata Day? Jitian Day is an important political festival handed down from ancient times, every year the imperial court needs to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac as the Jitian Day, on this day, whether it is a prince or a general, or must go to the field to personally cultivate, in order to persuade farmers; At the same time, on this day, the female dependents of the princely general's family will not be idle, and they need to bow down to raise silkworms or weave cloth to persuade diligence.
In such a day of joy with the people, the ladies of the royal family, as the role models of the women of the world, naturally have to show their hard-working side in public. However, on this day, the accident happened suddenly.
Due to the negligence of the palace maids in the Tianshou Palace, all the spring silkworms raised by Zhao Wei died. Although the crisis was quickly resolved, Zhao Jie's mother did not intend to let go of these errant palace maids; At the same time, Empress Zhao Wei wanted to protect her and forgave these palace maids who had been waiting for her for many years.
Empress Zhao Wei sent someone to notify the queen Zhao Li and asked her to release the arrested palace maids, but Zhao Li replied with the law of the country, and severely punished those palace maids, and lost Zhao Weihou's face.
It was because of this trivial incident that the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law appeared. As the saying goes: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read", and one of them is called "Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Sutra". Since ancient times, in the family, the contradictions and conflicts between the two generations, the most obvious and common, appear in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The disagreement between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a problem that makes many people shake their heads and sigh when they mention it.
The contradiction was like a thorn that stabbed Zhao Weihou's heart; Contradictions are like a wall, blocking the communication between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"It's just the daughter of a courtier, she is not worthy of my son at all, and she dares to go against the princess of my country, I don't know the severity!" Zhao Wei said to himself.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Just when Empress Zhao Wei's memories passed, in the Yan Mansion, people from the Hou faction and the clan faction gathered together.
"Brother Yan, what did the Queen Mother say?" When Yan Ju walked into the lobby, a group of officials asked eagerly.
"The Queen Mother said to think about it." Yan Ju replied: "But don't worry, Tian Bi next to the Queen Mother is our person, and he will definitely facilitate our plan at a critical moment." ”
"In this way, the success of this plan is nine out of ten!" Another official asked.
"So to speak!" Yan Ju said confidently: "Once the king fills the harem, the rain and dew are everywhere, and once a prince is born, we will assist him and pry the united relict faction and the royal faction from the foundation." ”
"Good plan! Good plan! As soon as Yan Ju's words fell, there was a sound of praise from the corner of the wall. Everyone looked into the corner and found that the person who spoke was a young man, who was none other than the rafter (tax collector of the market) in Handan City, and was also the new doorman of Mafuzi.
For such an infamous person, Yan Ju obviously didn't take it to heart, he might never have thought that in the future, this person would become a hero of the survival and death of the Later Sect and the Sect Master Sect.
Yan Ju glanced at the young city rafters, and then continued: "The Relict Sect grabbed the prince's log, then we will let this wood sink completely into the water. As soon as the king gives birth to a new prince, we will do our best to support him as the new prince, so that we will be the great heroes of the new dynasty, and the whole family and the country may rest together. ”
"Isn't that good? I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a rare heir, and it is not beneficial for the country to exclude him! What's more, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so easily defeated! "Some people raised their concerns.
"Aren't you afraid of his revenge? Do you want your descendants to be a pariah for the rest of their lives? If you don't want to, you have to do it, and you have to do it! Yan Ju frightened everyone in a threatening tone, and the opposition was ruthlessly drowned out by the voices of support, and some had to agree to support the plan, while others were on the road of no return. This kind of group method of using intimidation as a means will be used by Yan Ju from time to time in the days to come, although it has been tried and tested repeatedly, but it has also laid hidden dangers for planning and unity.
Saying that, just when everyone reached a consensus and was ready to make a bloody alliance, the housekeeper unexpectedly walked into the hall and reported in front of everyone: "My lord, Han Envoy greets!" ”
"Han Envoy?" Yan Ju muttered to himself in confusion: "I have never communicated with Han Envoy, why did he come to me." ”
"Could it be something to do with today's events?" The person beside him asked anxiously: "It has always been taboo for the king to gather for the courtiers to gather, and once the news leaks, we may be hit by the king." ”
"Don't worry, I think the Han envoy will not have the heart to complain here, otherwise it should be the palace guards who come now." Yan Ju continued: "Don't panic, everyone, wait for me to meet the Han envoy." ”
After speaking, Yan Ju left the hall under the leadership of the housekeeper, leaving behind everyone who was uneasy and looked at each other.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The middle door of Yan's Mansion was opened, and the Han envoy walked into the mansion of the Handan defense envoy of Zhao State under the guidance of the people of Yan's mansion.
After a while, the Han envoy met Yan Ju, the general who came to greet him. "Yo, no wonder the magpies in the house are calling today, it turns out that a distinguished guest is here." Yan Ju said with a smile on his face: "I haven't asked for the name of the messenger yet." ”
"Han Bian, a distant relative of the Korean royal family." Hearing this, the Han envoy replied: "I have something important to discuss with the general. ”
"Oh, this official has nothing to do with the Korean royal family, and we have something to talk about, so I don't understand it very well." Yan Juyan asked suspiciously.
"The general doesn't have to doubt the sincerity of his subordinates, and the envoy is here to cooperate with the general for a win-win situation." Han Wei continued: "I heard that the general wants to enrich the harem of the king of your country, I think this move, the general's intention should be to cut off the queen's exclusive favor, and never the prince's exclusive respect." ”
"Sir is really smart, I didn't expect to see through the plan so quickly, but do you know that in this world, people who know more tend to die sooner." Yan Ju's face changed when he heard this, and he threatened.
"Does the general think I'm the only one in the world who has seen your actions?" Han Wei laughed and said, "I'm afraid there are dozens of people in Handan City who can understand it!" ”
