Chapter 67: The Emperor's Sword (1)
On the day of August, Yang Chang, the Marquis of Anping, died, and Huo Guang proposed Cai Yi as prime minister. The illness did not dare to disobey, so he agreed, but his heart was extremely dissatisfied. What do you say? Cai Yi is old and faint, even older than Yang Chang, he is more than eighty years old, short in stature, and no eyebrows, the shape is very similar to an old woman, bent over and bent back, when standing up, the upper body is inclined to the front, so the heel is unstable, it is difficult to walk, there must be two officials, left and right support, to be able to walk. When everyone saw that he was old and long, they all looked down on him in their hearts, so they privately discussed behind their backs: "The general appoints the prime minister, and does not choose talents, but the use of such old and useless people is just so that everything can be dictated by him."
Only then did he realize that "Huo Guang is definitely not Zhou Gong and Yi Yin, and he may be far inferior to Emperor Hui Liu Ying at present, and the current plan can only endure the unbearable, and let Huo Guang everywhere, after all, Huo Guang is so old, and now that the world is stable, it is indeed Huo Guang's credit." ”
On this day, there was nothing to do in the court, Huo Guang was at home, Huo Xian asked: "It's been a few days, how is the new monarch?" ”
Huo Guangdao: "Good is good, is it a beautiful man who saw it." ”
Huo Xian said: "That's just to send Jun'er over to be the queen." ”
Huo Guang groaned: "I have this intention, but this matter is not 100% sure, the emperor has a wife who has a knotted hair, and he also gave birth to a son, I have seen it in the past few days, and the emperor is very good to his wife." ”
Huo Xian stood up suddenly: "Then you have to plan quickly, if he has a stable foundation and makes his wife the queen, then the current son is naturally the prince?" ”
Huo Guangdao: "I understand what you say, but how can you suddenly send Jun'er over?" ”
Huo Xian said: "There is no need for a tree that can't be cut down, there is no need to dig a mountain that can't be dug up, as long as you send Jun'er over, with our Jun'er's beauty, talent, and upbringing, the folk woman married by the emperor will definitely bow down and bow down to be a concubine." As for how to send it in, I've already thought about it, do you want to hear it, the general? ”
Huo Guangdao: "Oh? That's not a quick time. In fact, Huo Guang didn't say it, but in his heart he fell in love with the son-in-law who was sick, and if he really became the emperor's father-in-law, would the Huo family still be worried about long-term happiness.
Huo Xian said with a smile: "I said general, why did you forget the matter of choosing a concubine in the Shaofu, the new emperor ascended the throne, the world is peaceful, and it should be recommended by the people to enter the palace to serve the emperor, we just need to promote this matter, ask the emperor to pick someone himself, and then borrow other people's mouths to send Jun'er in, and it is not our family alone, isn't it above board, as long as you go in, with our family, I am afraid that we will not be able to get the position of this queen?" Of course, it would be great if you could do it in one step and be the queen directly. ”
Huo Guang groaned and said, "Yes, yes, just do what Mrs. says." ”
At this day's court meeting, there was nothing to do, and Huo Guang had dealt with everything that could be done in private, and Lecheng, a young man, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Chencheng has something to play." ”
"Speak." The illness has become proficient in the rules of the palace, and he speaks more and more like a great man.
"Your Majesty, the poem says: Thousands of blessings, hundreds of billions of descendants. Fang Jin is very fortunate, His Majesty ascended the throne, the four seas are leveled, the sea is clear and the river is Yan, the harem is undecided, the ministers and concubines have no longevity, and the dedication of the silkworm room is unpresiding. I hope that His Majesty will establish a harem and seal the main palace to stabilize the world. Le Cheng said and knelt deeply on the ground. This matter was not confessed by Huo Guang, but by Feng Zi, a slave of Huo Guang's family. Huo Guang and his wife have made up their minds, and if they don't come forward in this matter, they just ask their subordinates to push it.
Illness has never had this plan, and when I heard it today, I was suddenly stunned, and asked: "Is this the ancestral system?" ”
"Exactly!" Le Cheng replied.
"Ahh The illness was already shocked, if he had to do this, Pingjun would definitely be sad, so he said, "I'll discuss it next time." ”
At this time, a few more people stood up and said: "Shaofu is right, it must be, this matter cannot be delayed, and the harem must be built as soon as possible in order to continue the heirs of the Han Dynasty." "These people are also people arranged by the Huo family.
The illness has been angry and said: "Are you saying that Yu'er is not the heir of a big man?" ”
There was an uproar in the court, but I didn't expect that the illness would speak in such a stern tone, and they all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" Le Cheng and those who put forward opinions were even more frightened and trembled, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
The illness suddenly felt inappropriate, and said with a smile: "I'm not reprimanding you, it's just that I feel that I am still young, I have not protected the Han world, and I have not appeased the people of Li, and the Huns are in turmoil from time to time, how can I bear to enjoy myself." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the Son of Heaven thought about it like this, it was really Mingjun! Huo Guang hurriedly played: "Your Majesty has the sea in his heart and cares about the common people, which is really the blessing of all the people. However, what Le Shaofu played was indeed the ancestral system. The harem is not His Majesty's harem, it is the harem of the world, the world can be harmonious, I hope Your Majesty will think about this matter. ”
The illness has suddenly eased, so many people are talking about this matter today, is it discussed in advance? Or was it arranged in advance by Huo Guang? No, what did he arrange this thing for? Even if he wants to arrange it, he doesn't have to be so sneaky, wouldn't it be nice to bring it up himself? Then he cleared his throat and said: "What the general said is very true, everything is subject to the general's arrangement, but Pingjun is my wife, and I have to discuss it with her first." ”
Huo Guang faintly felt that it was not good, it turned out that the Son of Heaven trusted Xu Pingjun so much, so what should I do about Chengjun? But he didn't want to say anything more, so he said: "Listen to Your Majesty's holy judgment!" ”
On that day, the illness had returned to the Qingliang Palace, and saw Pingjun weaving cloth by himself, and Xiao'er was sleeping together next to Guanghan. The illness has made the slaves and maids retreat, sit beside Pingjun gently, and shake the cloth together. Pingjun was so distracted that he didn't notice that the illness had come, and he was startled and said, "When did you come back, why did you look unhappy, which minister offended you?" ”
Sick already smiled and said, "No." You still brought the spinning wheel at home, so we still have to rely on this to eat? ”
Pingjun said: "Eat and drink spicy food here, you don't have to do anything, I will suffocate to death sooner or later." I didn't do anything else, so I made my cotton clothes ten years old. ”
The illness has said: "I don't have to work so hard, I can't bear it." As he spoke, he hugged Pingjun in his arms.
Pingjun touched his sick chest and said, "You have something on your mind, is it a matter of the imperial court?" ”
"Yes and no." "Sick already likes Pingjun to touch his chest the most, but today he can't feel comfortable.
"Say it quickly, or I'll crush you here." Pingjun gently pinched the sick ** and smiled.
The illness was already afraid of noisy children, so he pulled Pingjun to the inner room, lowered his head and said: "Today, the court called for the establishment of a harem ......"
Ping Jun paused for a moment, she was not a fool, she knew that this day would come, and the emperor could not be the only one with her, and then said with a smile: "What should I do, let alone the emperor, it is an ordinary rich family who still has three wives and four concubines, choose it, and the concubines will support it." I'm not afraid of being spoiled, I don't believe my illness will not want me. ”
