Chapter 265: Handling Palace Affairs
The first queen has been dead for more than ten years, although the palace maids and eunuchs left there will often clean it, but this time it ushered in its new owner, or a new master with a special identity, so it is natural to give people a new atmosphere.
Especially when Wang Jibao is so young, many of the furnishings there are too old, how to look at it is not suitable.
Wang Jibao told Hong Fu not to waste too much energy, she would not live there anyway, as long as the hall she would use was cleaned well. But Hong Fu still asked people to be very serious and cleaned everything inside and out.
What if the new master wants to look around?
Everyone knows that the new official has three fires, especially when he heard that Wang Jibao cleaned up the people of Shaoming Palace on the first day he entered the palace today, and even the chief eunuch Wu Gonggong did not let go.
Therefore, when she summoned this time, the group of people was quickly in place.
Although the number of people in Emperor Shaowen's harem is huge, there are not many concubines who are really high-level. This is not unrelated to the fact that in the second half of his reign as emperor, he first favored men, and later became obsessed with cultivating and not being close to women. After this palace change, there is only one concubine surnamed Zhang who has the highest rank in the harem.
There's not even one person to compete with her.
For a while, Wang Jibao felt, how to say it? It's a kind of rush that has no fun or competitive pressure!
Those palace fighters don't give her a chance to see and understand.
Although there is no palace fighting drama staged, the following group of fat and thin beauties are still very eye-catching.
The question is, who will show them one by one?
"Mama, are you all here?" After the group paid homage to Wang Xibao, Wang Jibao opened her mouth to ask Mama Lanxiang.
Mama Lan Xiang took a list of palace concubines and verified them one by one behind Wang Xibao.
To be honest, a lot of people died in the palace change this time, which is really a bit wrong. Moreover, it was usually the concubines above the third rank who had the opportunity to ask the queen or other people who were appointed to manage the harem. Therefore, no one has really checked these people.
"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, because there are many concubines who died in the palace change, and there are also some low-grade concubines who are not among them, so the old slave doesn't dare to confirm it for a while." Lan Xiang chooses to tell the truth.
Wang Jibao nodded, and then said to the group of concubines below: "You all take a look at each other, who else have not arrived in the concubines you know?" Seeing that the people below first looked at each other, and then lowered their heads vigorously, reducing their sense of presence. Wang Jibao said coldly: "If you verify, there will be a reward for reporting, and if you don't report it, you will accompany Emperor Daxing to be martyred!" ”
Just imagine, who would dare to gamble with their lives at this time?
So the following began to expose and report one by one. Wang Jibao asked Meijing to write down the names of those people.
Seeing that the report was almost exposed, Wang Jibao asked Concubine Zhang: "Concubine Zhang, you are an old man in the palace." What do you think about this? ”
After careful consideration, Concubine Zhang replied: "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the concubine thinks that those who are disrespectful to the eldest princess should be severely punished. ”
Wang Jibao smiled and asked, "Oh? How should that be punished? ”
"Well......" Concubine Zhang originally thought that she had said a very safe answer, but she didn't expect Wang Jibao to continue to ask. So while thinking about it, he replied: "According to the palace rules, the rod will be punished for thirty or demoted, or it will be sent to the cold palace." ”
"The cold palace has been abandoned for many years, right?" This Wang Jibao has a deep understanding. She wasn't there a few days ago, but she didn't see a single figure.
"Yes." That's because when Concubine Yun was in power, she would kill whoever was not pleasing to the eye. No one has lived there for so many years. But if Concubine Zhang offends someone and proposes to Wang Jibao to be killed with a cane, she really can't do it.
Since she entered the palace, she has always been a person who does not compete for favor, does not compete for profit, and is a man with her tail between her legs, so she has survived until now. She didn't want to be a bird.
Wang Jibao already knows Zhang Concubine's temperament. Obviously, this person is not suitable to be her right-hand man and serve in her Zhan Mansion.
Wang Jibao asked the people below, "Who else can tell Princess Ben what to do with these people?" ”
At this time, a delicate woman in her thirties walked to the center of the main hall and bowed: "The concubine has some ideas, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”
"Oh? Regardless of whether you should talk about it or not, you should report to your own house first, so that this princess can know you? Wang Jibao was more interested in this person.
The woman who can take the initiative to stand up in this situation is obviously not an ordinary person.
"The concubine's surname is Su, and her daughter's name is Ming Ran. The current grade in the harem is Jieyu. The father is Hanlin Su Jianwen of Hanlin Academy. Su Ming introduced himself generously.
Wang Jibao glanced at Mama Lan Xiang, and when she saw Mama Lan Xiang nodding, she knew that what this person said was true.
Wang Jibao asked with interest: "Then what do you think of these people now?" ”
"Yes." Behind Su Mingran Yifu, he straightened his chest and replied, "The concubine thinks that these people should be treated differently. ”
Seeing that Wang Jibao was speechless, she continued: "According to the concubines, there are a few people who are really in poor health, and they probably can't get up or are afraid of giving their illness to others, so they didn't come. There are also people here who have been forgotten by everyone a long time ago, probably because they didn't come because they weren't announced. In addition, it is estimated that only a very small number of people did not come for other reasons. Therefore, the concubine thinks that these people should ask the princess to send someone to investigate and make a decision. lest the reputation of the eldest princess be tarnished in vain. ”
Su Mingran was also worried when he said the last sentence. If you encounter a ruthless and arrogant person, you have to deal with her together.
She can see from Wang Jibao's handling of Shaoming Palace that Wang Jibao is an assertive person who can do great things.
Imagine who cleaned up their father-in-law's people as soon as they came up? But this man did it.
Su Mingran has always been frightened about the days he has spent in his palace. She knew that the group of them were in an awkward position. Although it is still the world of the Xu family, in fact, it is a matter of time before the country changes hands. Even the emperor is a puppet, so what's the use of keeping their concubines?
The fate that awaits them is to send them to the newly dead Emperor Daxing and the ancestors to guard the imperial tomb, and then they will be sent to the royal nunnery to become nuns. But if a ruthless person comes to deal with them, it is estimated that it is very likely that all of them will be buried with Emperor Shaowen.
Su Mingran entered the palace for the sake of the family. But without an heir, she was abandoned by her family early. At this time, it is even more unlikely that they will come out to save her from the sea of suffering. Therefore, in order to change her fate, the only thing she can do is save herself.
When she asked Concubine Zhang from Wang Jibao just now, she vaguely felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So now she has taken the initiative to stand up. But before Wang Jibao didn't express her position, she was still not very sure, for fear that she didn't know how to hide herself, and offended the person in front of her who was not very old, but decided the fate of their group of concubines.
The corners of Wang Jibao's mouth hooked slightly, and it was estimated that the person in front of her could really be used by her if she couldn't get it. After all, she is a smart person who knows how to seize opportunities. However, this Su Mingran and his own thoughts came to the same thought. So, she ordered, "Bright sun." ”
"The slave is here."
"You take someone with the roster and carefully check the physical condition of these people. If they are really sick and can't get out of bed, leave it alone, and then send a doctor to give them a good diagnosis and treatment. But if it was done on purpose, they would not have to go back, and they would be sent directly to Huangling to guard the spirits of the ancestors. If there are any people who pretend to want to coax the princess, they will be sent directly to the Liuxiang Pavilion to wait for the men. ”
"Yes."
After this wake, the official positions of the four people, such as good days, beautiful scenery, bright sunshine, and sunny days, will be raised. This is something they never thought about before following Wang Jibao.
They have all become female officials, and they are also hot female officials.
Wang Jibao didn't care about those who didn't come, she came this time mainly to keep the spirit of Emperor Shaowen and gathered everyone together.
"Su Jieyu, this princess asks you, what do you think about this vigil for the emperor?" It is very difficult for people in this era to get ahead, and it is even more difficult to think of women who want to get ahead. Since this person is a person with ideas, Wang Jibao is willing to be this Bole and give her the opportunity to show her talent.
"The concubine thinks that this can be done according to the ancestral system. But now is an extraordinary period, just experienced a major palace change, the court is now unstable, and there are still many people waiting for the regent Chitose to liquidate, plus Dingguo has been eyeing my Shaoguo, so the funeral can be held more solemnly, but the time of this wake-up should not be too long. So as not to have many dreams at night. ”
Su Mingran also thought about this matter carefully, the longer this spirit stops, the more likely it is that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble. In addition, this Emperor Shaowen is not the father of the regent of the family, and there is no need for people to deal with it according to the ancestral system of the Xu family everywhere.
Wang Jibao nodded, not bad. Whether this person is right or wrong, at least it shows that this person is indeed a very thoughtful person.
"You can sit back in your seat first. Princess Ben would like to ask everyone here what they think about the future. Not only the concubines can answer, but even the palace maids who came with you this time can also answer. ”
Wang Jibao turned to Hong Fu who was standing behind him and said, "Convey the question that Princess Ben said to the palace maids and eunuchs of each palace one by one." There is one thing that everyone must have this understanding first, that is, after this palace change, now the emperor is the only master in the palace. It is impossible to leave all the palace maids and eunuchs here. So everyone has to find their own way out first. Don't put your hopes in others. Otherwise, don't blame Princess Ben for not saying it beforehand. ”
