Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Chair Doubts (I)

Liu Jieyu slept well about last night, and today she has a good appetite, and while eating, she actually ate a large plate of hawthorn chicken feet.

She drank a few mouthfuls of wolfberry lotus seed new rice porridge with satisfaction, and as if she came to her senses, she was about to ask when it was and why the official family hadn't come yet, when a small yellow door ran in to report it.

"Jieyu, the official family, the official family is not coming to Yuxiu Palace. Today at noon, the official family will accompany the Queen Mother to the queen's Renming Hall to appreciate the laurels, the official family has come to pass the word, if Liu Jieyu is fine, after breakfast, you might as well go to the Renming Palace to wait. ”

This little yellow door is very articulate, but the more he talks about it, the more timid he becomes, and the expression on his face is also trembling, as if walking on ice.

When he had finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.

Two or three maids who were serving Liu Jieyu to eat, all of them immediately stopped what they were doing, for fear that the clanging sound would add fuel to the fire and make Liu Jieyu attack.

Liu Jieyu had a scene to perform today, but when she heard the news, she didn't have time to be as angry as usual. It's okay, the left and right are in front of the official's house, and going to the queen's palace to make trouble, maybe it's more exciting than here.

Liu Jieyu stared at the little yellow door for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said, "Oh, the hall of the middle palace is so powerful that even the osmanthus flowers are particularly vigorous." I know, your legs are fast, run two errands, first go to Funing Hall to tell the official, and then go to Longyou Palace to tell the Empress Dowager Xiang, I am in good health, pack up and go to Renming Palace, and enjoy Gui with everyone. ”

Xiao Huangmen turned around and ran away if he was amnesty.

Many times, in this deep palace, just being an errand messenger is not a kind of happiness.

......

Yao Huan followed a large group of people and walked on the gravel road shining in the autumn sun.

Originally, at this hour, she should have received her salary, walked east in the sunshine, went out of Donghua Gate, leisurely wandered around the nearby market, asked about the market of rental shops, looked forward to the plan to open Starbucks, and then bought some rouge gouache for her aunt and Meituan, and a pair of good shoes for Ruzhou and Ah Si, and went home safely and happily.

Unfortunately, accidents come earlier than wages.

Before a stick of incense, the little yellow door in Liu Jieyu's palace came back with a letter, saying that there was an order to the Queen Mother, and Yao Niangzi also went to appreciate Gui together.

Yao Huan was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what the Empress Dowager Xiang thought.

Well, resigned to fate, I can only comfort myself first, although this Liu Jieyu looks suffocating, but I am about to see today's son Zhao Xu and Queen Meng, and I have the right to use this royal short-term work experience as an easter egg for myself.

Zhao Xu, the son of Emperor Shenzong and the elder brother of the later Emperor Huizong, among the Zhao emperors of the two Song Dynasty, except for the 9-year-old last emperor Zhao Yu who was forced by the Mongols to jump into the sea in the cliff mountain in the Southern Song Dynasty, the second earliest to die was Zhao Xu. According to historical records, in another five years, in the first month of the year 11oo AD, he should have been in Bintian at the age of 24.

But in fact, after the death of the grandmother Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu's actions in just seven years of pro-government are still remarkable.

He, like his father Shenzong, was very iron-blooded in his attitude towards border troubles, and changed the policy of peace talks pursued by the old party headed by Sima Guang, and directly formed a western border army pattern with Zhang Qi (Zhang Jie in this book), Lu Huiqing, Liu family, and Chong family as the core leaders, built cities and built villages, and encroached on the territory of Western Xia through hard battles, if it were not for Zhao Xu's early death, it was not impossible for Western Xia to be destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in the Great Song Dynasty, which was in blazing trouble on the border and was beaten by ethnic minority brothers with various looks and customs most of the time, Zhao Xu should be regarded as the one who gave the Central Plains Emperor a long face.

And Zhao Xu's queen Meng, her life is more exciting than her husband.

Meng was born in a family of low-level officials, and because of his gentle and aggressive personality and lack of power in his family, he was chosen by Zhao Xu's grandmother, Empress Dowager Gao, to become Zhao Xu's empress. In the witch Gu case framed by Zhang Dan, Liu Jieyu and others, Queen Meng was deposed and lived in a Taoist temple outside the palace. After Zhao Xu died and Zhao Ji ascended the throne, Zeng Bu and others persuaded Zhao Ji to welcome back the Meng family and restore his title of queen.

However, only two years later, Liu joined forces with Cai Jing to encourage Zhao Ji to depose Empress Meng again.

This time, the Meng family lived in the Taoist temple for twenty-five years, until the shame of Jingkang, the second sect of Huiqin and the entire Zhao and Song clans were captured and went north, and the courtiers of Kaifeng looked around in a daze, and the royal family was left with only Meng, the wife of the former emperor Zhezong, and Zhao Ji's son King Kang Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne requires a legal process. So the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty invited Meng out to be the queen mother first, and then the queen mother canonized Zhao as the emperor.

As a result, when the Jin soldiers were still arrogant, the Southern Song Dynasty first fought among themselves. The guards controlled Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan launched a rebellion and forced Zhao to pass on the crown prince. At the time of crisis, Meng held Zhao Gou's 3-year-old son, listened to the government in the court, appeased the rebellious ministers, and after Han Shizhong and others came to quell the rebellion, they immediately withdrew the curtain and returned to Zhao Gou.

She became a queen at the age of 16 and died at the age of 59, and experienced "three stands, two wastes and one abdication" in her life.

......

Renmyeongjeon.

Cinnamon strikes.

Yao Huan's attention was focused on the chair under Liu Jieyu's buttocks.

The Song people advocate simplicity and simplicity, even if the furniture in Liu Jieyu's Yuxiu Palace is also neat lines and rare fancy colors.

But at this time, the chair Liu Jieyu was sitting on was vermilion lacquer, and on the top of the chair with a high back, two cirrus clouds poked out from under the thick brocade chair cover embroidered with colorful winged phoenixes, smart and full, and the shadow edge of the cloud was traced with gold powder.

There is a provenance for this chair.

Just now, just before Liu Jieyu took everyone to the Renming Hall of Empress Meng, she sent a message to the inner servants in the Empress Dowager's palace, saying that the sun is good today, and the Empress Dowager Xiang wants to be under the laurel tree in the courtyard, while smelling the cinnamon fragrance, and watching the palace people play tea and opera through the sunshine.

Chen Ying'er, the steward of Renming Palace, then instructed the attendants and servants to move tables, chairs, stools, tea kettles, soup bottles, etc., to the courtyard.

No, as soon as she lifted the most valuable gold-painted vermilion lacquered chair in the Renming Hall to the courtyard, Liu Jieyu came in.

Chen Ying'er heard the movement, turned around, and saw that it was the aunt who didn't know how many times she had thrown her face at the queen on weekdays, so she was busy bending her knees and saluting, and saying "Slave go and invite the queen".

Liu Jieyu turned a deaf ear and sat down on the vermilion lacquer chair.

Chen Ying'er was shocked, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Liu Jieyu, this chair, the chair ......"

Although she is the personal maid next to the queen, but in the end she is a slave, how can she manage the favorite concubine of the official family, it is always difficult to say directly, "This is for the queen mother, and the queen does not dare to sit on weekdays."

Chen Ying'er didn't know how to phrase it for a while, and said "chair" several times, and hoped that Liu Jieyu would be able to look down and see clearly that this was a phoenix chair and wake up to herself.

Liu Jieyu pretended to be stupid and squinted at her: "Ying'er, where is the queen?" ”

There was no intention of getting up.

And at this moment, Yao Huan, who was shrinking in the crowd, relied on no one to pay attention to him, and the expression on his face was more in line with the word "I'll go" than Chen Ying'er's expression.

Chair?

Chair!

Yao Huan remembered the story of Liu Jieyu and the chair in the history books......

Could it be that this story is happening today?
