Chapter 25: The Succession (1)
This time, the palace people slandered the six princes, and at first glance, it was a means used by the villain to welcome Concubine Jing, and they wanted to please Concubine Jing. Purple Pavilion
"Oh yes!" Suddenly, I remembered something again. Lin Yuan took Chu Xue's hand and said in her ear: "Since the concubines of Wanchun Palace led by Cheng Guifei have the courage to climb the high branches, it is better to let them make the best use of them." I don't expect a back position, but Zhao Zhaoyi has a bigger chance of winning than me. You carefully sent a message to Wanchun Palace in private, asking them to visit Zhao Zhaoyi - Concubine Jing's coercion is imminent, Zhao Zhaoyi and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, if they can help Zhao Zhaoyi ascend the throne, it is equivalent to attaching themselves to me. It's good for all of us! ”
Hatsuyuki's eyes widened.
After a while, she nodded solemnly: "Yes, mother." Even if we don't have the heart to fight...... I must not let the one from Huayang Palace be pressed on his head. Zhaoyi Niangniang is the eldest daughter of Zhao Xunyan, the governor of Shandong, the grandson of Zhao Xun, the grandson of Zhao Xun in the northwest festival, Kang Jing entered the East Palace in the twenty-first year as the prince and the son, and the first year of Qianwu was named Jieyu, and the three years gave birth to Emperor Changning, and progressed to Zhaoyi. He has served the king for 12 years, is diligent and respectful, and is known as a virtuous name. She took a deep breath, raised her head and said: "Niangniang, Zhao Zhaoyi's temperament is soft and not ambitious, which is the best for us, and for the emperor and the queen mother, I am afraid that she is better than Concubine Jing." ”
Chu Xue's words were full of confidence, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. How much do you think Zhao Zhaoyi has a chance to win? But what is really compared to Concubine Jing? He was not depressed, but said: "We have done everything we should do, and then let's wait and see what happens." If it ends up being the worst outcome...... There is no way around that. ”
Besides, even if Concubine Jing ascends the throne, will she, the favorite concubine Lin, still be able to live?
Life will be a little harder, and Kiki's future will be a little bleaker, but ...... It's not a dead end.
Concubine Jing is twenty-six years old and has no children of her own. If she becomes the successor, Tuoba Hong Bacheng will deal with her according to the way she dealt with Queen Xiao, and a queen without heirs is the best to handle. Moreover, she should be in a more difficult situation than Empress Xiao - it is just a succession, how can she be on the same level as the original match? The emperor's love for her is not as important as Xiao Yueyi.
***
On the seventh day of the ceasing of the spirit, the cries of the concubines became more mournful than before. This day is the day of the funeral, sixteen warriors carry the coffin, and then support a huge phoenix honor guard, canopy feather fan, palace attendants, just like the queen when she is alive every time she walks, followed by the mighty array, sitting on the head of her whole body of the mother of the country, so that people bow and worship.
Lin Yuan and the concubines followed behind the coffin and gave each other a big gift. The howl shook the sky, Lin Yuan didn't expect that she would one day cry so sadly for a woman who had no relatives, but she didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, and the chili water on the handkerchief had been prepared a long time ago.
Looking around, everyone was well prepared.
The only one who did not shed tears was the emperor who walked at the forefront. His expression has regained his former majesty and solemnity, not like the day he came out of the delivery room on the day the queen died, and he looked like he had lost his soul.
Because he is the emperor, he just tied his hair with a white hosta and wore a navy blue dragon robe to support the coffin, but he couldn't be vegetarian all over. Lin Yuan's sharp eyes could see that the size of the shirt embroidered with rattan pattern and rolling silver edge on his body was a little smaller-Xiao Yueyi made it for him ten years ago, and he didn't wear it again for a long time.
After the double phoenix que, the three-zhang high bronze gate of the Great Qing Gate suddenly opened, it is surrounded by the vermilion palace wall that is more than one zhang high and one foot thick, and the copper wall is iron to isolate the harem from the outside world. The concubines knelt down in unison, and when they got here, they couldn't go any further. The courtiers of the previous dynasty stood on the other side of the Daqing Gate and knelt down at the same time to greet the queen's coffin.
Tuoba Hong walked out silently and followed the coffin.
According to the ancestral system, the emperor supported the coffin to the imperial mausoleum...... If it is the loving emperor and queen, he will recite poems and mourn at this time, and at this time every year in the future, he will go out of the palace to worship.
Hiroshi Tuoba is not a hypocritical person. Lin Yuan only saw his heavy steps walking step by step on the left side of the coffin. The black-red Nanmu coffin, the noisy cries around it, and the death in the air.
Originally matched with the queen of the main palace, the most noble woman in the world, ten miles of red makeup from the main gate of the imperial city Daqing Gate carried the sedan chair into the palace at the time of the wedding, and was carried into the imperial tomb by the Daqing Gate again after his death. There are only two places to place the coffin in the main hall of the tomb in that place, and only the original emperor and queen are welcome to the same cave, and then enter the concubine's tomb as usual. Empress Shorui arrived at that place before Takubahiro, and she would be waiting there......
He writes a history of the day, and this is the highest state that a woman can achieve. It was carried in through the Daqing Gate, and finally carried out through the Daqing Gate.
Lin Yuan felt a little tired. Compared to the queen, she is just a concubine, a woman who was brought in from the Shunzhen Gate at the beginning, and will be carried out from the Shunzhen Gate if she has a good death in the future. If you are convicted...... That is, the grass swept away and threw it into the mass grave in the back mountain.
No matter how high you climb, the final outcome is just that......
But who cares so far away! Lin Yuan looked at the sky - life is short, and you can be happy in time. Just live well while you're alive!
When he came back from the Daqing Gate, Lin Yuan and everyone in the harem were all tired and scattered. They went back to their respective palaces to sleep with their heads covered, or soaked in hot water in large wooden barrels, hoping to relieve the exhaustion of the seven days.
For a time, there was not enough hot water in the palace. In the past few days of the funeral, Concubine Jing, Lin Yuan, and Zhao Zhaoyi were too busy, they were busy with the affairs of the first queen, setting up the mourning hall, settling the sacrifices, and presiding over the ceremony, and no mistakes were allowed in any small link. Where do they have the leisure to take care of the concubines' food and clothing, and whether there is hot water?
The high-ranking ladies can finally take a bath, and many lowly ones really haven't caught water.
A lot of people are scrambling into bed to get some sleep first. Everyone suffers together, and this will not be hypocritical.
Even though it was tiring, everyone didn't forget to get down to business. Soon, five days later, the court's ministers headed by Qi Yushi made an excerpt and asked the emperor to decide on the successor as soon as possible.
Takubahiro consulted the matter with his courtiers in the early court.
In the cabinet of the Military Aircraft Department, Yang Qi and Xu Shizheng both agreed to establish the post as soon as possible. The right prime minister, Xiao Zhen, was silent because his only son had Zhao Zhaoyi's daughter Changning and had a relationship with Lin Yuan.
He could see that Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi were fighting with Concubine Jing, and the odds of winning were too small.
However, the proposal to postpone the establishment was not in harmony with the ancestral system, so he could only not speak.
In this way, most of the DPRK and China are the voices of the poster. Tuoba Hong glanced at it slightly, and said in a deep voice: "So who do you think is the most capable of taking on the next step?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the DPRK and China really turned from peaceful to boiling. There is no disagreement on this issue of whether or not to stand up. But who will be the queen? And this is a big deal.
Sure enough, Qi Yushi preemptively recommended Concubine Jing Wei.
Tuoba Hiroshi looked at him with a smirk. Wei Mizhuang is the daughter of Emperor Xinrong...... After his father's death, the family was in the middle of the road, but with the support of Emperor Xinrong, there were many people who spoke for the Wei family.
Subsequently, Wang Yulun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Qian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, met the proposal of Qi Yushi in unison. The newly appointed Jing Zhaoyin, the former Zuo Fufeng Liu, advocated the establishment of Zhao Zhaoyi, who had a royal daughter, as the queen.
Lord Liu was also pulled up by Lin Yuan and Prime Minister You. However, Xiao Zhen rarely had a clear relationship with him, and others didn't know that it was his person, and this time in the immediate dispute, Lord Liu was ordered to stand up and support Zhao Zhaoyi, who was good friends with Lin Yuan. Although there is not much chance of winning, at least all the courtiers cannot be allowed to stand behind Concubine Jing.
The choice of the empress is a family affair of the emperor and a state affair. The successive queens of the Qin State were not determined by the emperor's preferences.
Yang Qi frowned at everyone and didn't say a word. The right prime minister Xiao Zhen is a saw-mouthed gourd today, and the left prime minister is still running chores at home in the house because of the queen's new funeral, and he did not come after taking leave. These courtiers, who have been in turmoil for a long time, are a little dull today. And Shangguan Daguan, the general of Shangzhu State, Shangguan Ting, Shangguan Ting, the governor of Huguang, and Chu Dakai, the governor of Huguang, are several high-ranking military generals, they are now on the northwest battlefield - the Xiongnu and Xia armies are pressing, and all the sons of Shangguan who are over fourteen years old have gone out with the army, and Chu Dakai has taken his two sons to the border of Xia since Youzhou was succeeded by the King of Xiliang.
The only thing he needs to worry about is whether it is cost-effective to spend a million taels of silver and tens of thousands of soldiers' lives to exchange for a Xiongnu border city, if he goes deep into the enemy country and covets those cities, can the domestic financial and manpower keep up.
The Shangguan family and the Chu family are both elites, and they are the best at looking at the situation, and this battle is not as good as fighting the Xiongnu when the first emperor - for more than ten years, the Qin State has been strong enough, the military strength is sufficient, the grain and grass are worry-free, and even the cotton clothes to keep out the cold in winter are more than in previous years. These two look at this battle and it's easy to fight - the risk is small, the reward is big. When the time comes, what kind of military feat is it to regain the territory of the two countries?
So they all dutifully pulled the whole clan to the battlefield...... General Shangguan's cousin's son died in battle, and this was the only sacrifice in the family since they fought. These two families are fighting abroad, and they will not be able to come back in a few years, and the glory will not be less at that time, but there is a trouble right now - that is, the big and small things in the capital have nothing to do with them.
The ministers were happy in the capital, tinkering with their own little calculations, and many things would be difficult to do when the group of generals came back.
For example, the current support is the successor.
