Chapter 16: Two Women
After a slight pause, Emperor Taichang asked with some apprehension, "What did Li Xuanzhi say?" He spoke in a very careful tone, his face was a little gloomy, and he kept glancing at the prince, as if he wanted the prince to say something good for his woman.
Seeing Emperor Taichang's pleading look, Ye Xiang's mood was very complicated, this Emperor Taichang was really stupid. Didn't he see what his little wife was going to do? Or was she just willing to do that?
No matter what you want, it is impossible for you to agree to such a thing, Ye Xiang couldn't help sneering in his heart, you are afraid of your wife, and you don't want to be the laughing stock of the ministers, so you let your son carry the black pot. If it were the real crown prince, Zhu Youxiao might really do this, but I would never do it, if that would lose the confidence of the ministers in me, and I would lose the foundation for ruling the world in the future.
"Back to my father, Li Xuanzhi said that His Majesty is the emperor who is better than Han Gaozu, and she serves by the emperor's side and should be named the queen." After finishing speaking, Ye Xiang turned his gaze to the ministers below and looked at them playfully. At this time, it is already time to stand in line, and it depends on how these people choose.
Many people lowered their heads when they saw the prince's gaze, but many people looked at the prince with eagerness, these people understood the meaning of the prince's words just now, and there were really many ministers who could figure out their intentions in this era.
The head of the cabinet, Congzhe, looked at the prince with a different face, and when he saw the prince's eyes, his heart sank suddenly. What kind of gaze is that, blazing, breathtaking, my concentration is so good, seeing that kind of gaze, I actually have some weakness.
Slowly lowered his head, constantly thinking in his heart, of course he could understand what the prince meant. Han Gaozu Liu Bang of course knew that he was the final victor in the Chu and Han hegemony. But what made him ponder was not this Liu Bang, but the queen. All the literati know who Liu Bang's queen is, and that is the famous Empress Lu.
As long as there is some understanding of Han history, there is no one who does not know this Empress Lü, and the reason why the prince said this is to tell these ministers that Li Xuanzhi wants to be Empress Lü. Judging by his own attitude, he is obviously unwilling to be a puppet emperor, so now he needs these ministers to choose one of the two.
Although Fang Congzhe has little confidence in this prince, he can't throw himself into Li Xuanshi, in that case, he will definitely be stinking for 10,000 years, or he will be scolded as a Junchen, or Qin Hui and the like. There are countless eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, but only Zhang Juzheng was called the minister, if Fang Congzhe did not express his position this time, then he felt that he would be said to be the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, and it is likely to shine in the annals of history.
After a slight silence, Fang Congzhe knew what to do, he had to stand on the side of the prince. If the prince succeeds in the future, then he will be a hero, and even if the prince fails, he will just die. But he will definitely really shine in the annals of history and become a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, and may even become a famous minister like Wen Tianxiang.
"Your Majesty wants to canonize Li Xuanzhi as a noble concubine, and the ministers have no opinion, my emperor is wise." Just when Fang Congzhe wanted to stand up and speak, a voice sounded in the main hall, the voice seemed so abrupt, but no one felt that it was inappropriate, this voice woke up all the ministers who were stunned. Everyone quickly fell to their knees and shouted that the emperor was wise.
Looking at the ministers kneeling below, Emperor Taichang's heart was also pondering, firstly, he did not have the intention of being sealed, and secondly, the words of the prince just now also touched his heart. Back then, his father was fond of Concubine Zheng Guifei, and he had been angry with Concubine Zheng for decades, and at this time, he suddenly felt that he seemed a little sorry for the prince for doing this. couldn't help but glance at the prince with some apologies, but what he saw was the prince's gentle gaze, which made Emperor Taichang's heart warm slightly.
Maybe his son will be a good emperor! Thinking of this, Emperor Taichang slowly stood up and said loudly: "Edict, Li Xuan is virtuous and virtuous, and has served by my side for many years. I pity her merits and enter Concubine Kang. ”
This should be the last holy decree issued by Emperor Taichang, but it was not well executed, and the ambitious Li Xuanzhi also failed to realize his ideals and wishes, because Emperor Taichang was going to die.
Of course, this woman did not give up, and this led to a big drama later, a war without gunpowder.
Back at his residence, the prince once again lay on the rocking chair he had made, eating the grapes fed by Li Lan, looking at the white clouds drifting in space from time to time, and smelling the fragrance of flowers in the garden from time to time, his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful and peaceful. The entire Forbidden City was shrouded in such tranquility and tranquility, but everyone was very cautious, and the voices of those scolding the little eunuchs were suppressed extremely low, and the atmosphere was quite strange.
Shuqing Palace, is a palace in the east of the palace, palace buildings, pavilions and water pavilions, extremely luxurious. What makes everyone afraid is not this palace, but the woman who lives in it, a woman who once crowned the sixth palace, Concubine Zheng.
At this time, Concubine Zheng Guifei was no longer young, but she was still extremely gorgeous, and the whole person looked gentle as jade, mature and dignified. On her face without the slightest wrinkle, there was no trace of sharpness, like a woman who was content with the world.
Zheng Guifei, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was sitting in the pavilion with a smile on her face, there was only one person in front of her, all the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting from afar, and no one dared to listen or take a second look. For their master, these eunuchs and palace maids naturally know, although they seem to be kind, but they are absolutely ruthless and ruthless. Maybe it's this appearance that fascinated Emperor Wanli back then!
"Okay, it's not important to be excited, you're not too young to be angry." Gently put down the teacup in her hand, wiped her mouth gently with a silk scarf, and Zheng Guifei said slowly.
"Niangniang, I'm really angry, how can the men of the old Zhu family be so wasteful! The former emperor was like this, and the current emperor is the same, it is really a nest of snakes and rats. The woman did not shy away from speaking at all, as if she was almost venting, her undulating chest slowly calmed down, and then she snorted coldly and slowly sat down beside Concubine Zheng.
Concubine Zheng looked at Li Xuanzhi in front of her, sighed heavily, and the whole person revealed a deep helplessness, and said slowly after a long time: "We women have been fighting continuously since the day we stepped into the palace. When we were in the prime of cardamom, we didn't want to find a rich son to marry, and every ri's carefree life, but as soon as we entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. ”
