In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed in a hurry.

Four years after the establishment of the industry, it came in the expectation of everyone.

This year, Sheng Hong was twenty-three years old, which is the youngest age for a man.

This year, Xie Mingxi was twenty-two years old, which is the age when a woman has the best energy and physical strength to become pregnant.

Empress Dowager Li's filial piety period has passed, and the ministers in the court are also relieved for the emperor.

Speaking of which, the emperor's heirs were all delayed by filial piety. Xie Mingxi gave birth to A Luo less than a month ago, and Emperor Jianwen died and returned to heaven, and the filial piety period was three years.

Not long after Emperor Jianwen's filial piety, there was an accident in the capital, and Emperor Jian'an died. The new emperor kept the national filial piety for another year.

Then, it was for the Empress Dowager Li to keep filial piety.

Whether they have sex with each other during the period of filial piety is not controlled by outsiders. The important thing is that the filial piety period is not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. This year has been delayed year by year, and there is now only one Duanrou princess under the emperor's knees, and the heirs are empty, how can she not worry the ministers?

Therefore, not long after the Shangyuan Festival, there were officials at the court meeting, inviting the Son of Heaven to open the harem widely, and the palace concubines to enter the palace to spread the branches and leaves for the heavenly family to extend the heirs.

The official who went up to play the fold was a young imperial historian surnamed Yang.

After Liu Yushi reported his illness, several imperial historians were silent and settled a lot.

As a royal history, there is no tongue that is not numb. Yang Yushi's impassioned performance of loyalty and patriotism entered the hearts of the ministers. A few courtiers echoed the words.

The Son of Heaven favors the queen of the middle palace alone, and in the past few years, there has not even been a palace maid who has been serving closely. It's no secret. However, no matter how loving the husband and wife are, they cannot ignore the reproduction of the heirs of the heavenly family.

is Queen Xie's father, Xie Jun, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his face is no different at this time. I only secretly thought in my heart, let the female relatives of the family enter the palace to greet the queen, remind the queen to adjust her body as soon as possible, and give birth to the prince as soon as possible, so as to stabilize the position of the middle palace.

The Son of Heaven who was sitting on the dragon chair listened with a pleasant face, and then said with a smile: "I have heard everything that Aiqing said. I also hope that the queen will become pregnant as soon as possible. ”

"You don't have to open the harem widely. I and the queen are both young, why worry about not having children? ”

Not necessarily!

Empress Dowager Yu is a ready-made example. After giving birth to Princess Changping, she never got pregnant......

Naturally, such heart-wrenching words cannot be spoken.

Yang Yushi was in the limelight at the court meeting today, and his mood was surging, and he said: "Weichen also hopes that the queen will be happy as soon as possible, give birth to a prince, and have successors to the Great Qi country, which is the luck of the Great Qi." ”

"It's just that there is only one queen in the harem, which is too empty. The queen mother is known as a virtuous person, and she should take the initiative to choose the palace concubine to serve the emperor and reproduce heirs for the heavenly family. ”

The implication is that Empress Xie took the initiative to accept palace concubines for the emperor, which can be regarded as virtuous. Otherwise, it is jealousy and unvirtuous.

Anger flashed in Xie Jun's eyes.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.

This Yang Yushi fanned the flames at the court meeting, clearly praising the queen, but in fact belittling.

Who is secretly instigating Yang Yushi?

Without waiting for Xie Jun to open his mouth to refute, Xiao Shangshu had already stepped forward and scolded Yang Yushi: "The matter of the harem is decided by the queen's mother." There is also the Queen Mother. How can you be allowed to talk nonsense in the imperial history? ”

"Whether the queen is virtuous or not, everyone can see it, and it's not your turn to chew your tongue."

Xiao Shangshu angrily reprimanded Yang Yushi, and then said to the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair: "Yang Yushi talks about the harem in vain, and does not cultivate morality. The old minister asked the emperor to severely punish Yang Yushi. ”

The handsome face of the Son of Heaven also sank: "Quasi-play!" Someone came, and Yang Yushi was kicked out of the Jinluan Palace. You are not allowed to participate in the pilgrimage meeting in the future. ”

Yang Yushi was dumbfounded.

As an imperial historian, the most important duty is to listen to the wind and supervise the impeachment of hundreds of officials. The right to speak to the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven. was completely expelled from the Great Dynasty Meeting, what face does he have to do the imperial history again?

As soon as Yang Yushi's legs were weak, he wanted to kneel down and plead guilty. Several tall guards of the Imperial Forest stepped forward and "invited" Yang Yushi without much effort.

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom.

The Son of Heaven did not move, as if nothing had happened, and said cordially and kindly: "What else do you Aiqing have to do?" ”

Ministers: "......"

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Ge Lao took the initiative to invite Lu Ge Lao to ride in a carriage with him.

Elder Lu Ge happily complied and got into the carriage with the support of his entourage.

In the spacious carriage, the two elders sat opposite each other and spoke in low voices.

"This Yang Yushi, I don't know who instigated and deliberately slandered the queen."

"There are only two or three people left and right."

Either Empress Dowager Yu or Yu Guyu Party. It may also be a prince of the clan who is closely related to the king of Linjiang. The Son of Heaven has not even been on the throne for three years, and the real mortal enemies are them.

Zhao Ge frowned slightly, and snorted lightly: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop!" The emperor has been filial piety for several years, and now that he is out of the filial piety period, these people can't wait to take action. ”

It's too ugly.

Let's not talk about whether the palace concubine can share the favor of the Son of Heaven when she enters the palace. Just say that the harem is wide, and only the queen or queen mother can preside over the selection of concubines.

Empress Dowager Yu lingered on the sickbed, and it was Empress Xie who was in charge of the harem. The Son of Heaven has no intention of accepting concubines, and Queen Xie will never be stupid enough to take the initiative to accept concubines for the Son of Heaven.

Lu Ge Lao said lightly: "If the emperor doesn't move this thought, it will be in vain for others to think about it." ”

That's just as well.

Zhao Ge Lao laughed mockingly: "The emperor looks easy-going and amiable on weekdays, and he has hardly been angry. is even more courteous to the ministers. Some people thought that the emperor had a soft temperament and was easy to handle. ”

"Today, the emperor shows a little means, which is enough to deter everyone."

Lu Ge Lao recalled the scene in the court, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The emperor is not very old, but he acts very steadily and spicy. The heart has a plan, and the heart has a city! ”

In short, a smiling tiger.

Compared with Emperor Jian'an, who turned his face and became angry at every turn, Emperor Jianye obviously had more city government and was more difficult to deal with.

After a few words of gossip, Lu Ge Lao said again: "The emperor and the queen have a deep affection. Just out of the filial piety period, I want the emperor to open the harem, not to mention how the queen reacts, the emperor is not happy to be the first one. ”

"We don't have to meddle in such matters. After a year or two, if the queen has been pregnant, it is not too late to play again. ”

Zhao Ge Lao nodded, and after a change of words, he mentioned his young son who was about to return to Beijing: "Zhao Qi has served as an official in Shu for one term, and he should return to Beijing to report on his work in two months." I haven't seen him for a few years, so I will simply leave him in the capital in the future, and I can take care of him at any time. ”

Lu Ge Lao also had the same idea, but said with a smile in his mouth: "They have the ability and the ability to make a difference, and it is also a good thing to do things for the emperor and seek a future for themselves." ”
