Emperor Chongzhen's life is to Empress Zhou and this Concubine Tian, put more feelings, the other concubines are not deep in memory, and there is a Concubine Yuan, mainly because of the good relationship with the queen, plus there is a grandmother as a backstage, so it is always not far from the emperor's life.

There are tens of thousands of beauties in the palace, and those who can enter the emperor's life are just these three women. It can be seen that in the personality of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen, there are more elements of pure love, and there is simplicity and romance that should not belong to his identity.

"Your Majesty, long live long live long live." Concubine Yuan was sitting in front of Queen Zhou Keer's couch, chatting with her, and when she saw the emperor coming in, she quickly knelt down and said goodbye.

Zhou Ke'er snorted lightly, and was about to get up, but the emperor hurriedly went over to help her, "The queen is pregnant, that's it, no courtesy, Concubine Yuan, you can also be flat." ”

Queen Zhou Ke'er smiled slightly, "The concubine is lying in bed, and she is not sick, it has only been less than a month, and she should move around more." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood, he had just slept enough, and he had already gotten up, and he was in need of a strong affection, so he gently hugged the queen, "That's what I said." ”

Empress Zhou Ke'er was ashamed, she didn't expect the emperor to be so open now? In front of Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan, as well as a large group of palace maids, how can it be like this, but in his heart he is proud and shy, sticking to the emperor's face, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gently stroked the queen's pink back, "This is in the palace, besides, they are all old people from the Xinwang Mansion, you don't need to see too much, they happen to be here, and today I will dine with the queen and the two concubines." ”

Xu Guowei knelt down and agreed, and hurriedly took Zhou Xinyi in Emperor Zhou** to arrange it.

Empress Zhou sat up straight, she would not be like the emperor, in front of so many people, she was not allowed to do this, "Your Majesty, you should say hello when you come, otherwise how can the people arrange the imperial meal temporarily?" ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed, and said to an attendant eunuch beside him, "Sue Xu Guowei, don't be complicated, the queen eats whatever she usually eats, and you don't need to let the imperial dining room add food." ”

The eunuch respectfully agreed.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen beckoned again, signaling Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan to come over. Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan didn't know what the emperor was going to do, and the two girls leaned over with crimson faces.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen pulled one with one hand, "You two have to help the queen manage the affairs of the palace, only if the three of you get along well, I will not be distracted, this is your greatest support for me, you know?" ”

Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan agreed together, but Zhou Ke'er didn't say anything, got out of bed, and the palace maids came to wait and dress.

The emperor looked at the three ladies of the country, all of them were beautiful, especially Zhou Keer and Tian Xiuying, if it weren't for Tian Xiuying's low background, she would have been able to bear the dignity of the queen. Compared with Concubine Tian, Queen Zhou is perfect and impeccable! Zhou Keer only slightly overwhelmed Concubine Tian in terms of temperament.

"Your Majesty, on that day, you asked your concubines to reward your father and younger brother, and the concubines have obeyed the holy decree, and your father and younger brother asked your concubines to take them to thank you." Seeing that the emperor seemed to be very happy today, Concubine Yuan obediently knelt down for the emperor and interjected a sentence, the timing of grabbing words in front of the emperor must be grasped well, otherwise it will anger Long Yan.

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed and held Concubine Yuan's fragrant shoulder, "Flat, that's good, did your brother participate in the registration for the examination?" ”

Concubine Yuan nodded, "Well, I have already signed up, and he also said that he would call a few more classmates to participate, and his father is also very supportive." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled, "Okay! Message! Yuan You was promoted to the senator of the Ministry of Officials and awarded the rank of Cong IV! I'm going to report to Sun Shenxing today. ”

Yuan You was promoted three levels in a row all of a sudden! Concubine Yuan was overjoyed, "The concubine thanked the emperor for his grace, and the concubine thanked the emperor for his father, long live my emperor, long live long live my emperor......"

Zhu Youzhen suddenly dragged Concubine Yuan closer to him, "Don't kneel, it's all at home, you don't have to kneel down at every turn, Yuan You can stay in the Jingcha plan, which shows that the official is honest enough, and the reward this time is a little heavy and a little fast, but I hope that Yuan You will not have to live up to my thoughts." ”

Concubine Yuan said coquettishly, "The concubine will convey the emperor's words to her father." ”

The relatives of the emperor and the country, even the family members of the concubines, are generally idle, so that Yuan You was promoted to three levels in a row all of a sudden, and he was still a member of the Ministry of Ministers, which was really lacking! The queen's heart suddenly felt that this was very inappropriate, but she was good friends with Concubine Yuan, and the inner palace was not allowed to interfere in politics, but she did not speak.

Concubine Tian also didn't say anything, but her face turned whiter.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that he was overjoyed? There is no big problem with such a poke promotion, but in front of Concubine Tian and the queen, it seems to be ......

"Concubine Yuan, the queen, when I am busy for a while, let your family arrange time to enter the palace, it is my reward, and invite them to be guests." Zhu Youzhen laughed.

Zhou Ke'er snorted and didn't say anything, Concubine Tian hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you for the emperor's grace, it's just that my father and brothers are all commoners, and they are from low backgrounds, so I am afraid that the rules in the palace will be broken." ”

This sentence annoyed Queen Zhou and Concubine Yuan, and the meaning of this important official is too obvious!

Zhu Youzhen snorted, "Let your two elder brothers also participate in the examination, if it is appropriate, I will personally check them at that time to see if there is a chance to serve the imperial court." ”

Concubine Tian's face turned red and she whispered, "The emperor is wrong, the concubine has only one elder brother, and the queen mother is the two elder brothers." ”

Zhu Youzhen sweated and hurriedly walked to the queen's side, "Is Tai Kangbo okay?" ”

Zhou Ke'er was angry and had a pretty face, "Your Majesty, Tai Kangbo is the father of Empress Yi'an, and the father of the concubine is Jiadingbo." ”

Zhu Youzhen is a great khan again, he has too many things, and since he was reborn, he has been worried about state affairs, where can he have the time to remember these family affairs? Plus I haven't bothered for more than a hundred years, and it's easy to confuse a lot of titles in ancient times! "I'm not, I've made a mistake, don't be angry, queen."

Zhou Ke'er smiled, "Your Majesty, the concubines will not be angry for such a trivial matter, but the emperor's reward is okay for major social matters, but it should not be too heavy, and besides, do you want to discuss it with Lord Sun?" ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that if he continued to speak, he would be unpleasant, and gently held the queen's hand, "My reward, I still have measure, besides, whether I can do it is another matter, not that I have rewarded something, and my subordinates will be able to take it, the key is to look at their own skills, the Beijing inspection plan is over, most of the positions of hundreds of officials are vacant, among the emperor's relatives and relatives, those who are close to me should be given more opportunities, I will see who dares to gossip." ”

Zhou Ke'er wanted to say more, seeing that Concubine Yuan's eyes were red, she didn't continue to persuade the emperor, and the emperor promoted the concubine's father by three levels, but it was not too much.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhou Ke'er no longer spoke, and smiled slightly, "When I see your two brothers one day, I will have a good talk with them, now is the time to employ people, your family is my family, and it should be reused!" ”

Zhou Ke'er frowned slightly, and looked at the emperor's eyes, "The concubine would rather not, what are the two elder brothers of the concubine like, the concubine has the bottom in her heart, the two of them are already struggling to be a state official now, and if they move forward, they will be a big member, they are only in their thirties, and their qualifications and experience are not enough, if they make any mistakes, they will embarrass the emperor." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and shook the queen's hand, "Don't say it, eat!" It's my queen who thinks about me the most, and there are still people who refuse to be promoted for their families? I've seen a lot. ”

Zhou Ke'er was unconvinced and said, "The reward depends on whether that person can hold it, this is what the emperor said just now, if you don't have that ability and get into that position, you will also be squeezed down." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and nodded, "It's hard for you to see things so thoroughly at such a young age." ”

Zhou Ke'er smiled mischievously, "No matter how young the concubine is, she also needs her mother to honor the world, and the concubine doesn't want her family to make the emperor the voice of the world." ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted, "But, if your father and brother have that level, it is also a good thing to be promoted exceptionally, how do you know that people can't do it?" ”

Zhou Ke'er glanced at the emperor, "The concubines are already the mother of the country, what else can they do?" The concubine only hopes that the family is safe and sound, the power of the sky is unpredictable, there is grace and authority, the weight of the relatives is the most likely to be criticized by the world, and the concubine does not want it. ”

Zhu Youzhen lightly tapped on the queen's nose, "I really don't know what is in your little head, at such a young age, how can you look like an old man?" The virtuous do not avoid relatives, can serve me, can serve the Ming Dynasty, where do you get so many scruples? It is inevitable that officials will make mistakes, and the key depends on what kind of mistakes they make, as long as they do their jobs properly, the people and I can understand. ”

The emperor ate happily, Cao Huachun and Sun Shenxing and other great eunuchs and civil officials, receiving the holy decree of rewarding Yuan You, all knew that the direction of the court had changed! The biggest calamity of all dynasties came either from eunuchs, or from relatives, and then from the civil and official groups! Or the separatist armies everywhere!

All the officials are political veterans, and everyone knows that the promotion of Yuan You is an extremely strong signal that the emperor does not trust the civil officials and is going to start reusing his relatives!
