Chapter 620: Burning the Jade Han Palace

Cao Yin smiled: "You are the director of the West Flower Hall, could it be that you haven't even checked the background of the queen of Qing?" ”

Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Master Hou, with all due respect to Han Mo, the West Flower Hall had no right to investigate intelligence in other countries five years ago, and the officials stationed in various countries were all subordinate to the East Flower Hall...... Since five years ago, there has been no information on other countries in the archives of the West Flower Hall. After a pause, he still smiled and said: "Before I came, my subordinates checked the archives, and there are many archives of other countries five years ago in the West Flower Hall, and there is no information about the current Empress Qingguo...... So His Majesty really doesn't know much about this Qinghou. ”

"That's true." Cao Yin bowed his head and said: "Five years ago, this queen of Qingguo was just a concubine in the Qing Palace, and it is a coincidence that this concubine became the queen of Qingguo five years ago and unified the harem!" ”

Han Mo arched his hand and said, "Please teach Master Hou!" ”

Cao Yin said: "Do you know how old this Qinghou is now?" ”

Han Mo shook his head.

"Twenty-eight!" Cao Yin said slowly: "In the prime of life, excellent age!" ”

Han Mo frowned, a little surprised: "It's only twenty-eight? "It's really a little unexpected that the queen of Qingguo, who is in power to celebrate the country, is so young.

Han Mo knows very well that it is this woman who has a powerful force under her hands, with her as the core to form a post-party faction, speaking from her heart, such a woman is really quite remarkable, she must have a clever wrist to be able to control a group of Qingguo officials in the palm of her hand.

Han Mo had always thought that even if Qinghou was not very old, he should always be thirty-five or sixteen years old, but at this time, he was surprised to hear that he was only twenty-eight years old.

Cao Yin gently stroked the back of his other hand with one hand, and said softly: "This Qinghou entered the palace at the age of twenty ......!" ”

Han Mo frowned, a hint of surprise on his face.

This era is different from later generations, even if the girl's family is fifteen or sixteen years old, even if it is the age of marriage, some even earlier, and the age of twenty has not been out of the cabinet, that is a rare thing.

In this palace, the selection of show girls in the people, it is natural to choose young and beautiful women, the twenty-year-old girl's family, can already be regarded as an old girl, even if she is not married, it is difficult to have the opportunity to enter the palace.

Cao Yin had already seen Han Mo's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't know that before this Qinghou entered the palace, it was not a simple character. She is a native of Hexi, and it is said that she was extremely beautiful when she was young, and the older she gets, the more beautiful and moving she becomes, and ...... This Qinghou was born with a different fragrance, where he passed, the fragrance was endless, every spring and summer, there were butterflies around him, which was also a famous thing in Hexi at that time, and the title of the first beauty in Hexi. ”

Han Mo touched his chin a little rudely, he couldn't imagine that this Qinghou would have such a strange thing.

"Although her background is not expensive, she is very rich." Cao Yin picked up the teacup and took another sip before continuing: "Hexi Lu Clan, at that time, was one of the four merchants of Qingguo. Qingshang is all over the world, good at business, the so-called Qingguo Four Merchants are the four most powerful businessmen in Qingguo, and this Hexi Lu clan is one of them. So this Qinghou was born in a wealthy family, with fine clothes and food, and he is very knowledgeable. When it was time to get married, how many people came to ask for marriage, but they were all rejected by this queen ......! Speaking of this, he smiled lightly and said, "Ben Hou has heard a legend, but I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

"I don't know what the legend is?" Han Mo asked softly.

"It is said that when Qinghou was young, a Taoist priest saw her and told her father that this woman was extremely rich and noble, and she was born with a different appearance, so she could only enter the palace and not marry outside!" Cao Yin smiled: "If this is true, that Taoist priest really has a vision, and he actually looked at it." I don't know if this is the reason, Qinghou rejected all the suitors, and when he was sixteen years old, he began to participate in the draft, which was ready to enter the palace! ”

"Participated in the draft at the age of sixteen, with her appearance and family background, how could she not enter the palace until she was twenty years old?" Han Mo was a little strange.

Cao Yin shook his head and smiled: "Speaking of which, even Benhou can't figure out the situation in the middle. However, according to Benhou's guess, I'm afraid that Qinghou's father is reluctant to bleed! ”

"Reluctant to bleed?"

"If you think about it carefully, the Lu family is the richest man in Hexi, and his daughter is going to participate in the draft, how can the official in Qingguo who is responsible for selecting the draft girl be polite, and naturally he wants to ask the Lu family for a fortune." Cao Yin said: "The richer you are, the more you have to have a lot of blood at this time." But as far as I know, although the father of Qinghou has a rich family, he ...... But he is a stingy person. If he knew that his daughter would become a queen after entering the palace, he was afraid that he would grit his teeth and give up a penny. It's just that he has to pay a huge fortune, but he can only let his daughter enter the palace, and there is no other guarantee, how can he be willing to bleed heavily? ”

Han Mo said helplessly: "What does Master Hou mean, is it because of the stinginess of this rich businessman that his daughter failed to enter the palace quickly?" Because of his stubbornness, Qinghou was delayed for four years? ”

Cao Yin smiled: "He is a shrewd businessman, if he doesn't get equal benefits, he won't do that deal." It's a pity that he is too short-sighted, and he also underestimates his daughter's ability. If he knows that there is a day, let him take out all the property, I am afraid that he will be willing! ”

Han Mo shook his head, sometimes things in the world are so funny.

The stinginess of a businessman led to the late entry of Qinghou into the palace for four years, but I don't know if if he had entered the palace earlier, Qingguo's Hou Party would have appeared in the political arena of Qingguo in advance, which would have led to Qingguo entering a period of turmoil earlier.

"Perhaps the merchant was later persuaded by his daughter." Cao Yin said calmly: "Qinghou, who is already twenty years old, still entered the palace, although she is four years late, but ...... Heaven seems to favor her very much, or she does have all the advantages that a woman can have, after entering the palace, she was quickly favored by Emperor Chongren, and was quickly canonized as a concubine, a merchant's daughter was canonized as a harem concubine in a short time after entering the palace, which is really a very rare thing. ”

Han Mo didn't speak, but he already knew in his heart that if Emperor Chongren could be conquered in a short period of time, Qinghou must have outstanding appearance and charm, and he also had a deep scheming and clever skill.

"In other words, three years after she entered the palace, she was canonized as the queen?"

Cao Yin sighed: "Sometimes Ben Hou also thinks that this woman's luck is too good, if it is according to common sense, she can charm Emperor Chongren again, but it is impossible for her to ascend to the throne of the queen." When she entered the palace, Qingguo already had a queen...... And the previous queen was not only the daughter of the prime minister at that time, but also gave birth to several princes, including the current Prince Qing, which can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

"Prince Qing is not the son of today's Qinghou?" Han Mo frowned.

Cao Yin nodded and said, "Yes, Prince Qing is the son of succession. Although today's Qinghou also gave birth to a little prince, he was only crowned king! "Smiled faintly," Qinghou may be thinking that her own son will become Prince Qing, but now Prince Qing still has Shang Zhongli to protect him, and although the old Prime Minister of Qingguo has no real power now, he still has some influence, and the matter of setting up another prince to shake the foundation of the country, there are Shang Zhongli and Qing are opposite, but it is difficult to achieve Qinghou for a while! ”

Han Mo touched it, it seems that the internal affairs of Qingguo are really quite complicated.

"Qingguo's successive positions are so stable, how can they ...... was taken away from the throne by the current queen of Qing? Han Mo got up, picked up the teapot from the side, and re-poured tea into Cao Yin's teacup.

"Because Qingguo has gone crazy one after another!" Cao Yin's voice was calm.

"Crazy?" Han Mo opened his mouth wide.

Cao Yin nodded: "There are not many people who know about this matter, but Ben Hou has always liked to listen to gossip, so he knows about this matter." Qingguo successively went crazy two years after Concubine Lu entered the palace, for some reason. ”

Han Mo also knew at this moment that Cao Yin knew about it, but he was afraid that there were nails buried in the palace of Qingguo.

This kind of royal secret must be tightly sealed news, the queen is crazy, it is impossible to spread it out of the palace, Cao Yin knows, naturally there is a secret news channel.

But what he was most surprised about now was how could the queen of Qingguo suddenly go crazy? Could it be that this Qinghou is now harmed?

The battle in the harem is complicated and weird, with the grace of Emperor Chongren, Concubine Lu must be very powerful in the harem, but the daughter of a businessman, how easy is it to defeat the queen of the daughter of the prime minister?

"How to go crazy, Ben Hou doesn't know." Cao Yin sighed softly, "There are a hundred possibilities, but what the truth is, in this world, I'm afraid that few people can know." ”

"Crazy one after another, Emperor Chongren was abolished and set up separately?"

Cao Yin shook his head and said, "How can it be that simple. Although he is crazy, if he wants to set up another queen, he must always come up with a reason. But what kind of reasons do you have to come up with? It is impossible to declare to the people of Qingguo that their mother has gone mad, so they must set up a new queen. ”

"Of course it can't!" Han Mo shook his head and said.

"In fact, Qingguo really can't find a reason to set up a new queen. To abolish the old and establish the new, we must always come up with a reasonable reason to the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee and the people of the world. Either the queen dies, or the queen is guilty of a great crime and is no longer worthy of being a ......! Cao Yin glanced at Han Mo and said quietly: "The queen is naturally not dead, but if you want to declare the queen guilty to the world, how can Shang Zhongli and Qingxiang agree?" Although the queen is insane, Kyungsang will never allow his daughter to be deposed on the grounds of a grave crime without any evidence! ”

Han Mo nodded and said: "The queen is guilty, the prime minister who is the father will naturally be guilty, and the entire queen family will also be implicated, so it is impossible for Qingxiang to allow the queen to be abolished on the grounds of committing a major crime!" ”

Cao Yin smiled and nodded: "Han Mo, you are really smart, you can understand a little." At that time, Emperor Chongren was still a little sensible, and Qingxiang was still very powerful in his hands, so although the queen was crazy, she was not abolished, and Concubine Lu could only remain her concubine! ”

Han Mo stared at Cao Yin and said, "But...... Concubine Lu was canonized as a concubine a year later, does that mean that a year later, the crazy one has died! ”

"A fire, burned two royal people!" Cao Yin sighed lightly: "After the queen went crazy, she has been living in the Yuhan Palace in Qingguo, but that year a fire was burned, and the entire Yuhan Palace was burned to ashes, and many people died, and Qinghou has been burned to death in the Yuhan Palace." ”

The corners of Han Mo's eyes twitched, "Hou Ye just said that he burned two people from the royal family, who else is it?" ”

"Prince Qing!" Cao Yin said word by word.

When Han Mo was shocked, he was also a little confused, how could Prince Qing be burned to death? If she is burned to death, who will Princess Frost marry this time?

Cao Yin smiled and said, "It was the former prince who burned to death." Three princes were born successively, and the eldest prince was originally made the crown prince of Qing. But in that fire, Prince Qing and his mother were buried in the fire, so he later wanted to establish a new prince. The second prince did not become the prime minister, and Shang Zhongli and Qingxiang led the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty to elect the third prince as the new prince. ”

When Han Mo heard this, he understood.

But thinking of the weird fire in Yuhan Palace back then, which actually burned Queen Qing and Prince Qing to death, I just felt that it was too weird.

"The one who married the princess is the third prince." Cao Yin said leisurely: "This third prince is said to be kind-hearted and humble in everything...... It's just that Ben Hou has heard a lot of things about the third prince, but he feels that the third prince is really ...... Cowardly! ”

ps: The queen who was burned, Prince Qing who was burned...... No spoilers! Ask for tickets and collect!!
