Although Zhu Zhanji was inextricably linked to Guo Guifei because of the death of his father at the beginning, he was resentful in his heart, but after knowing that Guo Guifei was voluntarily martyred, he disappeared.

He even thought that one day when he was like his father, he would have to prevent Qing Yang from doing such a stupid thing.

Thinking of his younger brothers, who are in-laws, from now on, they are orphans without parents, he feels that Guo Guifei's martyrdom is too presumptuous, didn't she think of these three sons at that time?

Although the queen mother is a person who can be trusted, no matter how reliable she is, where can she take care of her own care?

While urgently sending the imperial doctor to see King Teng, he held King Liang and King Wei in his arms and coaxed, "Don't cry, don't cry, you still have the eldest brother, and the queen mother, our family is still together, the eldest brother will take care of you, and the eldest brother will be good to you." โ€

King Wei was young, so it would be good to coax him for a while, and he was unscrupulous, and with tears hanging on his cheeks, he asked: "Brother Prince, will you often play with Yin'er in the future?" โ€

Zhu Zhanji choked up and agreed, "Of course, Yu'er is well-behaved and obedient, and the eldest brother will often come to play with you." โ€

Knowing that there were a lot of things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needed to deal with at this time, Cai Qing next to King Wei pulled him over, "The noble concubine said that she went to accompany your father, and in the future, you have to listen to the words of the queen mother and His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will love you." โ€

That night, before Guo Guifei went to the Qianqing Palace, she had already made up her mind that if Emperor Hongxi had an accident, she would never live alone, so she explained everything to Cai Qing in advance, and let Cai Qing, who was the most loyal to her, be the master of the Wei Wang.

Every time King Wei saw Guo Guifei, he was also accompanied by Cai Qing, so he was also very familiar with her.

After this scene, Zhu Zhanji discussed with the queen that except for Guo Guifei, who had been martyred, the rest of the concubines, who had children and daughters, even if they were only pregnant, or had concubines who died early after giving birth, were exempt from martyrdom, and the palace people were also exempt from burial......

The queen hesitated, "Now that your father is underground, won't there be a short time for people to wait?" Moreover, this is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, the emperors of all dynasties have been martyred, except for the queen, the childless concubines must be buried. โ€

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a moment, "Let's prepare the offerings richly, after all, there are no living martyrs in many dynasties, and if you don't see that over there, you really need living people to follow you and wait." Now, aren't we exempted from martyrdom if we have children or have children? It's not a violation of the rules set by Grandpa Taizu. โ€

Zhu Zhanji put another person on the list, "The British Duke has made great contributions, and if his daughter Zhang Jingfei is also martyred, I am afraid it will cold the heart of the old minister." โ€

"Just according to Zhan'er, Concubine Jing will be exempted from martyrdom by the daughter of the old one. Butโ€”"

"On that day, a few of the people who hooked your father and the emperor must not be spared." At this point, the queen refused to give in, she no longer wanted to look at those young and beautiful concubines, as long as she saw them, she would think of the early death of Emperor Hong Xi, they were a thorn in her heart.

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a long time, "Just according to what the queen mother said." Guo Guifei was buried in the mountain mausoleum according to the ceremony, and Wang Zhaorong was buried with several concubines to take care of his family. After the funeral, the palace where she lived was temporarily closed! โ€

The list of martyrs for Emperor Hongxi was thus set, and Guo Guifei was nicknamed "Gongsu"; Tan Zhaorong added the title of Concubine Shun, nicknamed "Gong Xi", Wang Zhaorong added the title of Concubine Li, nicknamed "Hui'an"; Huang Jieyu added this title as a concubine, nicknamed "Gongjing"; Wang Jieyu was crowned as a concubine, and her nickname was "Zhenhui".

Among the young concubines, only Concubine Zhang Jing, whose family background is similar to Concubine Guo Guifei, the daughter of the British princess, although Concubine Jing Zhang Wanyu has no children and no daughters, she was spared martyrdom with the daughter of the old man.

Guo Guifei, who had three sons, was voluntarily martyred, but Zhang Jingfei, who had no children, was alive and well, so it became more and more rumored that Guo Guifei was forced to die by the queen under the name of Emperor Hongxi because she was favored.

After all, compared with Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle, and the death of all the concubines, most of Emperor Hongxi's concubines saved their lives, and they were able to misinterpret the rule that the great grandfather set the dragon to control Bintian, except for the queen, all the childless concubines and concubines must be martyred, all relying on the benevolence of Emperor Hongxi and the generosity of Queen Zhang, so the people in the palace are more and more in awe of Queen Zhang Han.

Because of this, the hearts of the people in Duanben Palace have also quietly changed, and the crown princess Hu Shanxiang has more and more people coming in and out.

After all, when the crown prince ascends the throne, the crown princess Hu Shanxiang will be the queen and will become the queen. Of course, we should take advantage of the situation before the situation is decided.

After returning to Beijing, Zhu Zhanji properly handled the affairs of his father's funeral on the one hand, and on the other hand, tightened the vigilance of Beijing to prevent people from waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos.

On the evening of 13 June, Zhu Zhanji returned to the Qianqing Palace after a busy day, and the chamberlain Chen Huifu had already ordered someone to clean up the dragon collapse and wait for him to rest, but Zhu Zhanji was walking around the dormitory, a little irritable between his eyebrows, and he was not as calm and calm as he was in dealing with state affairs during the day.

Of course, Gonggong Chen knew the cause of his troubles, and whispered: "How to arrange the ladies over there, I don't know when the emperor plans to ask them to move into the palace?" Where do you arrange for them to live? โ€

Zhu Zhanji was stunned by what he said, and asked, "What mother?" โ€

Gonggong Chen hurriedly said: "It's Hu Niangniang's side." โ€

Because Zhu Zhanji has not yet canonized his concubines, they still live in Duanben Palace for the time being, without a name, and the chamberlains and palace maids are vaguely called by their surnames and Niangniang.

Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly and asked, "Which palace should they live in?" โ€

Gonggong Chen quickly had a few thoughts in his heart, and secretly screamed, this part is undecided, how can he know which palace they should live in? But he didn't dare to reply to the emperor like this, glanced at Zhu Zhanji's expression, and said with a smile: "In the palace, Kunning Palace is behind the Qianqing Palace, where the Empress Dowager lived before, a few days ago, the concubines moved to Cining Palace with the Empress Dowager, and Kunning Palace and all palaces and courtyards have been vacated. The east side of the Qianqing Palace is the Changning Palace, the west side is the Changle Palace, the east side of the Kunning Palace is the Chengqian Palace, which is the palace where Guo Guifei lived before, and the west side is the Wan'an Palace......"

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand to stop him and said, "The renaming of Chengqian Palace to Yongning Palace is also a bit new. โ€

After thinking for a while, he said: "Let the Hu family live in Kunning Palace, the new dynasty is established, it is better to be quiet and not moving, the Sun family will move to Changning Palace, and the rest, you draw up a list and let the Hu family be the queen mother." โ€

This is to set the position of the former crown princess Hu Shanxiang. Gonggong Chen said cautiously: "Yes, the slave will send someone to pick up the queen and her into the palace." โ€

On the second day of Hu Shanxiang's entry into the Middle Palace, he discussed with Zhu Zhanji, "The concubine thinks that among the emperor's concubines, in addition to the concubines, Sister Sun gave birth to a daughter for you, so it is better to take her as a concubine and lead the nine concubines, so as to help the concubines share their worries." โ€

Zhu Zhanji nodded, "Since I am sharing my worries with you, except for the nine concubines, she should be the same queen, but the queen mother's side ......."

Hu Shanxiang felt bitter like a lotus seed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, "These three palaces and six courts, since they are taken care of by the concubines, such a thing should be discussed with the queen mother as a concubine." โ€

Zhu Zhanji glanced at her approvingly, "The queen is so sensible and can be humble and courteous, I am very pleased." โ€

That night, rested in the Kunning Palace of the Empress Hu.

In the early morning of the next day, Hu Shanxiang led the concubines to greet the Queen Mother, and stayed alone in Cining Palace.

"Queen Mother, what the emperor means, he is about to ascend the throne, and the position of the head of the harem must also be determined in advance, the concubine has drawn up a list, do you see if it is suitable?"

The Queen Mother took the list in Hu Shanxiang's hand, looked at it carefully, and was a little unhappy, "Although Qingyang is a good one, it is natural to be promoted to a concubine, how can she be the same as the deputy queen?" You can't look like this, you're too used to the emperor, the deputy queen, the deputy queen, it's half a queen, what if the concubine presses on your head in the future? โ€

Hu Shanxiang knew that the queen mother was the most taboo about the mixing of concubines and concubines, and there was no distinction between respect and inferiority, especially when she had only passed the limelight of Guo Guifei in the palace before her, so that the six palaces were unstable, and the emperor died of illness and early death, and she hated the behavior of spoiling concubines and killing his wife, so he had to accompany him carefully and said: "This is the meaning of the concubine, Sister Sun has often helped the concubines to manage the palace affairs before, and in this palace, in addition to the concubines, she gave birth to a daughter to the emperor, which should be rewarded." โ€

The Queen Mother was still unwilling, "What do you mean, this is what the emperor meant, you call him to talk to the mourning family, and the mourning family will talk about him." โ€

Because of the previous incident of Guo Guifei and several people, she is even more reluctant to concubine his wife now, even if Qingyang is good, she can't let Zhan'er follow in the footsteps of his father. I think that Guo Guifei used to be in the East Palace, wasn't it also humble and respectful? Not long after becoming a concubine, she didn't show her original form, even though she had true feelings for the emperor, but the queen mother refused to forgive because she caused Emperor Hongxi to die early.

Subconsciously, she felt that when Sun Qingyang became a concubine, she would be like Guo Guifei, and she didn't know what ridiculous things would lead the emperor to do.

Therefore, as soon as she heard the queen's proposal, she was very repulsed.

"Queen Mother-" Hu Shanxiang shouted softly: "The concubine knows that you are thinking about the concubine, but you think, the emperor and his grandson's sister are childhood sweethearts, they have had a good relationship since childhood, if it weren't for some twists and turns at the beginning, not to mention the princess, the crown princess, is now the queen, I'm afraid it's also her ......"

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Anyway, the princess, the crown princess, and the position of the queen, you are not her." โ€

Hu Shanxiang gently persuaded, "The queen mother, you think so, or the concubines think so, the world thinks so, but does the emperor think so?" If there is a stiffness, the emperor will definitely set up his grandson as the queen, and provoke your mother and son to turn against each other for the sake of the concubine, isn't the concubine a disloyal and unfilial person? โ€
