Qin Mingyue sighed and said, "Hey, the emperor has indeed made a lot of wrong decisions in recent times. It's okay in the court, after all, there are a group of old ministers such as Xie Xiang to support them. Although Xie Xiangzhi has average talents, he is upright and old-fashioned, and he is really a mainstay. Therefore, the emperor's recent dedication, that is, the matter of sacrificing prisoners, has not been done very well. ”

"However, this is also human nature, after all, since the founding of the country, our Great Zhou has always been oppressed and violated by the Three Kingdoms of Wumen, and we have to harass our borders of the Great Zhou every year, and even, in history, our Great Zhou country has been besieged. With such a big victory for the first time, and the capture of so many people from the big merchants, the emperor was naturally happy to go down in history because of this name. So, at that time, although I didn't agree very much, I finally agreed. ”

"So, I'm still not too worried about things in the court. What worries me the most is the emperor's harem. Now, in the harem, there is no absolute rule like Queen Yang, and all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have come out. The concubines are lined with mountains, and there is no middle palace to sit in, fighting with each other, and engaging in a miasma. Forget it, after all, it's just in the harem, but these concubines are fighting, their eyes are red, it's not fun just to fight in the harem, and they actually have to go to the court to form a gang. Of course, this is all a bad head brought by Concubine Xian. ”

"But in the court, Xiao Xi and they are still continuing to form a party for personal gain, and they just colluded with the concubines in the harem, seeing that chaos in the court has arisen, you say, can this not make people anxious?"

Xiao Rui was also a little worried about this, he said: "The harem is really chaotic now. However, in such a mess, Wan Zhaoyi and Concubine Li Xian fought and pinched each other fiercely, which was still good for my mother. At least now my mother has no one to calculate. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "The strategy we formulated a year ago to divert the water to the east is quite useful. However, at this time and at that time, it was for self-preservation, but it was only an expedient measure, and it could not be used all the time. The top priority is to let Concubine Li be officially sealed. ”

"In the harem, with a serious middle palace lady, these concubines can be effectively controlled. When the harem is almost suppressed, we will get Xiao Xi down in the previous dynasty, so that the harem of the court is clean, and the two of us can free up our hands and quickly go to break the sub-arrays of the Twelve Heavens Great Array established by the Wumen in our Great Zhou. ”

Xiao Rui said: "Indeed. If these things are not arranged, how dare we go out distracted? It's not the same now as it was before. Before, with Shen Tianshi sitting in the rear, we had no problem going out for a year, how dare now? It seems that I want to contact the officials of the clan and the nobles to prepare for my mother's succession. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "I'll also prepare here for the Star Picking Tower." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this, everything about the prisoners was done by me and the Ministry of Rites. Everything is ready to go. I am about to depart for the palace to fast and prepare to preside over the great sacrifice at the sacrifice ceremony. ”

Xiao Rui was a little reluctant: "Mingyue, I'll accompany you to the Zhai Palace." ”

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but blush: "What nonsense?" What do you call fasting when you go? Hurry up and get clean, I've got some business to deal with. ”

After speaking, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but say something, and directly drove Xiao Rui away.

Xiao Rui had no choice but to go out, go to the Zongren Mansion, and find someone to do something.

Qin Mingyue also began to prepare for many things.

Within a few days, Qin Mingyue went to the Zhai Palace. However, this time she went to Saigong, she really went to fast.

In the capital, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere, and the army had not yet arrived, but the victory still greatly encouraged the people of the capital.

In such a festive atmosphere, a rumor quietly spread.

On this day, Xiao Xi called his right-hand men to his palace to discuss things.

Xiao Xi said: "This king has received reliable news that the Rite Sect Sect Mansion is not only preparing for this prisoner sacrifice ceremony, but they are also preparing for the post-establishment ceremony. ”

Song Shihong, the official of the Ministry of Officials, who is also the uncle of the princess of Jin, heard the words and said: "Yes, I also received such news. Lord Wang, have you ever asked the virtuous concubine in the palace if there is any news? For such a big thing, the palace must also be prepared. ”

Xiao Xi said: "The palace affairs are not in charge of the mother concubine alone, now half of the palace affairs are in charge of Concubine Li, and because of a few small things in the palace recently, the struggle between the mother concubine and Wan Zhaoyi has fallen behind, and the father was actually bewitched by Wan Zhaoyi and asked Wan Zhaoyi to assist in managing the palace affairs, although she was asked to obey the dispatch of the mother and Concubine Li, after all, there was one more person to intervene." ”

"This Wan Zhaoyi is also hateful, as soon as she took office, she joined forces with Concubine Li, and the two of them have now divided two-thirds of the palace affairs. Especially the imperial dining room, Si Bao, and the sewing room are all under their control. This makes the mother concubine ill-informed in many places. ”

However, the mother concubine has been in the palace for many years and has a wide range of contacts, she used some means, but she still got the news, and she should be the queen. Moreover, recently, my father often went to the palace of the concubine to sit and discuss some palace affairs with her. ”

Xiao Xi said, and couldn't help but show a smug look on his face.

Song Shihong was a little puzzled, how could this be a little different from what his niece Song Yuru, the princess of Jin, said? However, in such a situation, it is difficult for him to refute directly.

When Fang on the side immediately patted the ass: "The virtuous concubine Niangniang is virtuous and virtuous, the government and the opposition know that she has been with the emperor for the longest time, which one in the palace has the qualifications of the virtuous concubine Niangniang now?" Besides, Concubine Xian Niangniang gave birth to the prince of Jin for the emperor, and she has such a great achievement, and she has managed palace affairs for several years. is still the highest-ranking concubine in the palace. Such qualifications are second to none in the palace, and if this is to be established, it must be the virtuous concubine. ”

Xiao Xi was even happier when he heard it.

However, Song Shihong was a little unhappy, and he muttered in his heart, is it a good thing to accompany the emperor for the longest time? This also means that people are old and yellow, okay? As a concubine, does seniority really matter? The most important thing is beauty, love, and heirs, right? Besides, there is a great contribution to pregnancy, but there is still Concubine Li in the palace who has given birth to two princes. is the highest-ranking and has the same grade of Concubine Li. To say, Concubine Xian has the Li family behind her and King Jin as her backing, but Concubine Li also has the backing of a prince like King Qin?

Look at Xiao Rui, not only is Wuzong, his position is stable, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he must hold others, just look at people's military talent, which is capital? The first great victory of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty against the Three Kingdoms of Wumen? This is something that will go down in history, who can compare?

What merit can compare with this real military achievement?
