On April 21 of the first year of Xuande, the noble concubine Sun Qingyang successfully gave birth to the third daughter of Emperor Xuande, the third princess Jinying.
On the day when the third princess washed the third, when Emperor Xuande went to Cining Palace to greet the queen mother, he proposed to make gold treasures for the concubine.
The queen mother suppressed the anger in her heart, and persuaded bitterly: "Since ancient times, it is the queen who has the golden treasure and gold book, and below the concubine, there is no treasure, and the emperor loves the concubine, and he can't mess with the ancestral system." โ
Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "Queen Mother, the concubine was framed and grounded for more than half a year, and even the second princess she gave birth to was also under the name of the queen. โ
In the past half a year, he peeled off the cocoon and finally found out that Lin Meiren's abortion was purely a trick to compete for favor.
Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, sent this Lin beauty into the palace, just to make her Zhu Zhanji's favorite concubine, and frame the emperor's favorite concubine so that she could replace her......
After all, the harem concubines compete for favor, poison the fetus and children in other people's wombs, and it is rare to start with their own children, Lin Meiren's such a ruthless move is a good plan to kill three birds with one stone, but unfortunately, because of Zhu Zhanji's trust in Sun Qingyang, it has become a ridiculous farce, and even admonishment to death did not cause Zhu Zhanji to be moved.
The queen mother thought that she didn't like Sun Qingyang to overshadow the queen that day, so she believed in the bureau that Lin Meiren did, although she felt a little remorseful in her heart, she still refused to let go, "The emperor wants to compensate the concubine and give her more gold, silver and jade silk, why change the ancestral system and make gold treasures for her?" Such a chaotic change of rules, not to mention that the mourning family can't agree, even those officials in the imperial court won't agree. โ
"The queen mother, the second princess born to the concubine, is recorded in the queen's name on the genealogy, do you think this is something that can be made up for by wealth?"
The Queen Mother was a little weak-hearted, "Didn't that Jinyu always be by her side, and she never hugged her." โ
"Queen Mother, if the emperor's grandmother recorded her son in the name of the emperor's uncle and still raised it by your side, do you think it is the same?"
The Queen Mother was speechless.
"Queen Mother, because you are afraid that your son will make the queen's position unstable because you are afraid that your son will favor the concubine, and you don't even check the truth of the facts, you will convict the concubine based on the words of those people. The son thought, the queen mother didn't really believe that the concubine would do such a thing that day, you just think that it was an opportunity, and the concubine who could be pressed by this couldn't raise her head, especially when Lin Meiren died, there was no proof of death, if the concubine wanted to turn over, it would be difficult. โ
"According to your original intention, I originally thought that if the concubine was born as a boy, you could justifiably attribute it to the queen by convicting the concubine of immorality that day, so that even if the truth of the facts is found out in the future, on the genealogy, the eldest son of the emperor has been recorded as the queen, even if the son finds evidence to overturn the case for the concubine, it is impossible to change anything, but I didn't expect Lin Meiren to have a miscarriage, from beginning to end, there was no truth."
Zhu Zhanji's words were sharper than one sentence, pointing directly at the heart of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, my son knows that you are guarding against the concubine, and he doesn't even want to believe that she is pure in nature, and equates her with Guo Guifei and those demon concubines of the previous dynasty, all because you are afraid that your son will be deposed because of her, not to mention the bad reputation of your son, and it will shake the country's foundation." But has the queen mother ever thought that you seem to be for the country and the public, but in fact, you are wronging the concubine for your own selfishness? โ
The window paper was pierced, and the queen mother had no intention of covering it up again, she looked at Zhu Zhanji and said: "The emperor knows that this is not the selfishness of the mourning family, but what the emperor did, every step is towards the plan of the abolition, in all dynasties, there has never been a queen who has not been abolished, the emperor will leave an infamy if he does this, and the mourning family can't let you do this." You are a good emperor, you want to govern the Ming Dynasty out of a prosperous world, your mind should not be used on the relationship between men and women, whether the concubine is good or bad, she makes you have such thoughts, and the mourning family will not allow her. โ
Zhu Zhanji looked at the Queen Mother with some sadness, "Queen Mother, the rules are so important?" Is ancestry that important? If we are blindly conservative, how can we innovate and develop? When the queen mother was in the past, was it because of such a psychology that she hated her father for focusing on other women? โ
"But Queen Mother, have you ever thought that if you can't be with the person you like in life and death, you have the world, and you have these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, how can you not be boundless loneliness?"
"My son just wants to have the same life and die as the concubine, shouldn't she be the queen, and after a hundred years, can she enter her son's imperial mausoleum?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanji say what she really thought in her heart, the Queen Mother was shocked, "Your Majesty, you must not do it, you have to abide by the rules of your ancestors, there are no rules, and the world will be in chaos without rules." The emperor wants to innovate, to open up, and should also use this heart on the government and politics, instead of spending all his heart on women, the women in this harem are to give you branches and leaves, inherit my Ming dynasty, the new comes to the old one, why should you be obsessed with one person? โ
"Besides, the queen has been respectful and humble and virtuous since she married you for so many years, how could she ever feel sorry for her because you spoiled the concubine? She even broke her body because she was depressed, Your Majesty, how can you bear it? Even Yuan Tianshi said, 'It is advisable to ask Jishui for a good couple', she is a wife who is a match made in heaven with you, the mother of the main palace. โ
"Take the mourning family as an example, if your father was like you that day, and insisted on changing Guo Guifei as the queen, can you understand? Do you think it should? โ
Zhu Zhanji looked at the Queen Mother and shook his head, "Queen Mother, you know that your father and you are not comparable to your son and the queen, why do you still say such words to cover your ears and steal the bell?" The son believes that the queen will understand, even if she doesn't-"
A hint of ridicule appeared on Zhu Zhanji's face, "With her virtuous generosity, she will not object, even if she opposes it, she will also work the queen mother, and she will not say it directly to her son." Mother, do you think it is interesting for couples to do such a job? Just like you did to your father, in the end, did you care about his needs as a man? You are only trying to persuade him to be a wise king, but you forget that he is first a husband to you, the father of your children, and then a king. โ
"As for the will of heaven, Yuan Tianshi also said that the concubine is destined by heaven, and one day it will be unattainable."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, Zhu Zhanji sighed slightly, "Queen Mother, my son has made up my mind, and I also implore the Queen Mother to promise her son to give gold treasures to the concubine." As for the mandate of heaven, the son made a bet with the queen mother, from now on, the son rested for a few nights at the concubine, and rested for a few nights at the queen's place, the two of them, whoever is the eldest son of the emperor, the son will be the prince. If the crown prince is born to the queen, the son will no longer have delusions, and the concubine will always be a concubine. โ
On the first day of the fifth month of the first year of Xuande, the emperor summoned Hu Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and told him about his plan to give the noble concubine Sun Qingyang a golden treasure.
"Hu Aiqing, the noble concubine Sun is respectful and careful on weekdays, follows the rules of etiquette, and is filial and respectful in front of the queen mother, even if she also has a lot of auxiliary merits to me on weekdays, and she is obedient to the queen, the queen has repeatedly asked me to praise the concubine, in your opinion, what rules should be used to determine the day and announce that the world praises the concubine?"
After three dynasties, Hu Tong understood Emperor Xuande's words, and replied with a smile: "The concubine enjoys the ceremony of the deputy queen, just like half a queen, and the virtuous lady is so, so she should be given a treasure to show her virtue." โ
Emperor Xuande Dayue, "According to what Aiqing said, I will leave this matter to you." โ
Then, the Ministry of Rites asked for a seal, and it was scheduled to award the concubine Jinbao on the ninth day of May.
The envoy who bestowed the treasure on the concubine was the British official Zhang Fu of the Taishi, and when Hu Shanxiang was established as the queen last year, he was the official envoy of the British public at the canonization ceremony. The one who holds the festival is the deputy envoy, the young master and the secretary of the ministry.
Since then, Sun Qingyang has enjoyed the same golden book and golden treasure gift as the queen as a concubine, and the title of imperial concubine began with her.
After the gift of Jinbao to the imperial concubine, Hu Shanxiang returned to Kunning Palace and looked at himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth in the mirror.
"Zhihe, look at the person in this mirror, are you smiling very happily and sincerely?"
Zhihe looked at the tears that slipped down the queen's face, "Queen Mother, why are you so embarrassed about yourself?" If you want to cry, just cry. โ
"Crying? No, Hongu can't cry. Hu Shanxiang wiped away the tears on his face, "This palace is the queen, the lord of the six palaces, and the mother of a country, what is there to cry in this palace?" From a small daughter of a hundred households in brocade clothes to the throne of the queen, what else is there to cry in this palace! โ
Zhihe, who has been with Hu Shanxiang for many years, didn't know her heart, and sighed, "Niangniang, the slave knows that what you actually care about is not the queen's position, you are envious of the emperor's deep affection for the concubine, you often say, 'It's easy to get priceless treasures, it's hard to find a lover', the emperor treats the concubine, that's what you said about the lover, right?" โ
Hu Shanxiang's face showed a sad meaning, "Yes, he is her lover, but he is a ruthless person in this palace, this palace has a hard life, I just met him in this life, if this palace is not tempted, how good it should be, how good it should be...... From love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from the lover, there is no fear...... Zhihe, you say, how can this palace not care and not be sad? โ
On May 12, three days after the imperial concubine conferred the treasure, Hu Shanxiang handed over the power of the palace to the imperial concubine on the grounds that he was not in good health and could not manage the palace affairs.
Although the imperial concubine took over the power of the palace, she was as modest and respectful to the queen as before.
