Chapter 701: Female Might
The queen is also surnamed Zhang, and Queen Zhang is in the main palace at this time, and her little hands are cold
Her circumstances are different from most queens, she is beautiful, fair-skinned, and belongs to the powerful faction in the harem.
The harem of the Ming Dynasty has complex composition, which can be roughly divided into three types, one is the strength of the beauty pageant to enter the palace, that is, Queen Zhang, because it is indeed the national color and fragrance, so with her own appearance, she was first named Concubine Shun.
This second type is the so-called character school. You must know that the draft is selected by eunuchs, and the eunuch draft is the appearance, but the Ming Dynasty pays attention to morality, therefore, there will always be some officials who stuff so many people to come in and sue the eunuchs of the draft. This third kind is the relationship household, the so-called relationship household, is the queen mother, the concubines of the people, there are even many, they are their relatives, plus some transcendent princes, they are also in the palace to intercede, thinking of the law to stuff people into the palace.
To put it simply, the powerful faction is the selection of eunuchs, the country is fragrant, it can be seen that the eunuchs are still very kind, and will never block the emperor, although they are no longer men, but they know very well what the Son of Heaven wants, so the selected show girls are often beauties who have captivated the country and the city. As for the minister, it is not very kind, people have not considered the feelings of the emperor Lao Tzu at all, if there happens to be a distant relative who has a daughter in the family, and it happens that the court comes to draft the girl, anyway, this woman looks like it is also blocked, it is better to send it to the palace to add to the emperor Lao Tzu, but the ministers are obviously well versed in the truth of reversing black and white, they will tell you in a dignified manner, this woman is virtuous, this time, what can you say, if you retreat back, I am afraid that people will fight chicken blood, your mother, you indulge in beauty every day, Adopt a concubine who only looks at appearance and does not pay attention to virtue, you are a faint king, you still have to be shameless, if you continue to be so stupid, the Ming Dynasty will be finished. Obviously, the palace is also afraid of trouble, since this is the case, then take it.
And the related households are different, this is also the uneven ones who are forced in, but the strength is strong, that is, the Son of Heaven has to spoil them every once in a while.
For example, Jiajing's original match, Queen Chen, is a relational household.
The relationship between Empress Chen is very iron, to what extent is it iron, Jiajing's throne, basically it can be said that it was given by the Empress Dowager Zhang, the Empress Dowager Zhang chose Jiajing to enter Beijing and ascend the throne, Jiajing, who first ascended to the great treasure, was still a kind person at that time, and did not dare to make a mistake in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Dowager Zhang's own husband and son died and Jiajing was not her own son, naturally, she felt that it was not enough to be safe, so she looked for the queen with Jiajing, and finally, this Empress Chen was selected as Empress Chen is said to be very virtuous, and dignified character, Empress Dowager Zhang likes, felt that she could get closer to Jiajing in the future, so she contributed to this matter.
Of course, Jiajing didn't dare to be disobedient and obediently married Empress Chen.
Then, the tragedy happened, Queen Chen was pregnant, one day and Jiajing tea you must understand, Jiajing is a big-tailed wolf, don't look at the beginning of the low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes of the tail to be a man, to be stable, naturally there are other thoughts, a dramatic scene also appeared, at that time Queen Zhang was just Concubine Shun, Concubine Shun served beside Queen Chen, by the way to Jiajing tea, the advantages and disadvantages of the powerful faction and related households are actually known at a glance, although Queen Chen is dignified, but the appearance is only mediocre, and Concubine Zhang, But it is the country is beautiful and fragrant, and the demeanor is enchanting, Jiajing looked at it, and became interested, occasionally following the hand of Concubine Shun, the pregnant Empress Chen was furious when she saw it, and stood up with a cup. Emperor Jiajing was also furious when he saw this, and Empress Chen died of a miscarriage. Three and a half months later, Emperor Jiajing made Concubine Zhang Shun his empress.
The relationship is finished, and the powerful faction is soaring, becoming the queen's concubine, and becoming the queen in a daze, just like a dream.
In fact, in the palace, the powerful faction has always had the upper hand, and even if the related households and character factions are lucky to win for a while, sooner or later the powerful faction will win a big victory.
Of course, the Zhang family who became the queen was not happy for long, and she encountered a problem, which is a problem that all powerful factions must face, because your strength certainly comes from your beauty, but your appearance will eventually decay, and the powerful faction is not one of you, in Jiajing's harem, it can be said that it is surrounded by wolves, in this case, even if the Zhang family can be favored for a year or two, can it be tied to Jiajing for a lifetime.
Therefore, the ultimate goal of the powerful faction is to transfer to the relationship household, which is ridiculous to say, when the powerful faction defeats the relationship household, the first thing they do is to become a relationship household, what relationship is the most reliable? Son!
If you have a son, you can rely on your son to be expensive, as long as you have a son, then you are the prince, the prince's mother must be the queen, if Jiajing wants to abolish the queen, you must abolish the prince, and if the prince is abolished, the ministers will definitely not agree, since you can't abolish the prince, you can't abolish the queen.
Pity...... This, Empress Zhang's belly is not angry, vulgarly speaking, she is not discouraged when she fades out of a queen, he is now the queen, and he is also young, as long as he works hard to give birth to a son, that is the eldest son of the prince.
However, there was a palace change last night, and then the bad news came, and Queen Zhang was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zaiji will be established as the crown prince, once the will is made, then even if she gives birth to a son in the future, I am afraid that it will be over.
Not only is the status of the prince going to be given away, but even I, the queen, am afraid that it will be very inappropriate.
Empress Zhang must not let Zhu Zaiji be the crown prince, even if she can't give birth to a son, even if the emperor Lao Tzu dies, this prince can't be established.
There is a very strict problem involved here, because once the crown prince is established, Jiajing will die tomorrow, so it is not surprising that the crown prince ascends the throne and has absolutely nothing to do with her Empress Zhang, and then, the new emperor kicked her aside without hesitation, how far and as far as she went.
But if there is no prince, not to mention that she will have a chance to give birth to a prince in the future, even if she can't give birth, Jiajing will be finished tomorrow, but who will be the emperor is unknown, since it is unknown, then she has to make a ruling, whether you Zhu Zaiji will be the emperor or not, it is not someone else who has the final say, it is Empress Zhang who has the final say, if you don't like you, in the name of Zhu Zaiji's young age, ask the vassal king to do it, see which vassal king is pleasing to the eye, invite him to Beijing, and then people will inevitably be grateful to you, because there is no Empress Zhang, It's not your turn to be emperor.
The problem is very strict, when the news is passed to Liu Guiren, there are also news that are transmitted to Empress Zhang.
Empress Zhang trembled with anger, and then a teacup fell to the ground, she suddenly got up, and sneered at the henchman eunuch who came to tell her: "That slut, I'm afraid she has already died of laughter, hmph, she wants to get her wish, is it so easy?" What kind of thing is Zhu Zaiji, a concubine, who can also be a prince? Have you forgotten the rules of the dynasty? In this world, there is no need to talk about the rules at all. ”
The eunuch said: "Fortunately, Yang Gongli admonished, His Majesty just sealed the king of Zhongshan first, but let him move to the East Palace to live, although he has not yet been honored, but... ・・・”
Empress Zhang was as cold as frost and said, "Yes, thanks to some ministers, but the surname Xu, isn't it strongly supportive?" Therefore, this is worrying, if the ministers are one-sided against it, it will be fine, but now they have killed a Cheng bite gold, which makes people uneasy, if Zhu Zaiji's kid becomes the prince, can the palace still live, Liu's slut is afraid that he has long wanted to take the palace and replace it, this matter, can not be underestimated, can not be underestimated. ”
The eunuch said: "It's really not possible, the slave and maid went out to discuss and discuss with Yang Gong?" ”
Empress Zhang shook her head and said: "This is on the cusp, I don't know how many people are staring, the surname Xu and the surname Liu are not fuel-efficient lamps, there is no need to be caught by them." ”
The eunuch is Queen Zhang's confidant, naturally for Queen Zhang, if Queen Zhang is finished, most likely he will have to be sent to the Divine Palace Prison, at this time he is also anxious to scratch the wall, and said: "But if Niangniang does not join forces with Yang Gong, I am afraid that ......"
"What's the hurry?" Empress Zhang gritted her silver teeth and said: "Don't worry, but for now, I can only ask Yang Gong, you go, let people go out to spread a news, just say that Zhang Xian and Liu Guiren are very close, it is very likely that she fornicated with Zhang Xian, let Zhang Xian rebel, and then set up Zhu Zaiji to ascend the throne, but be careful, don't let people know that it is the root of our tongue." ”
The eunuch couldn't help but say: "Niangniang, the slave maid has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, and it doesn't hurt if this rumor spreads, but what can Niangniang expect His Majesty to believe?" If you don't believe it, even if there are more rumors, I'm afraid it's useless. ”
Empress Zhang sneered: "What do you know, these rumors are not to make His Majesty believe, but I just want to tell Yang Gong, this palace is urgent, and the rabbit is in a hurry to bite people, he will understand the meaning of this palace, he is in the outer court, the palace is in the inner court, and now the most important thing is tacit understanding, you wait and see, Yang Guild will move." ”
The eunuch nodded and said, "The slave and maid will do it." ”
"Come back!" Empress Zhang smiled even colder, and said: "Remember, don't have anything to do with Yang Gong for the time being, but if there is any news from the foreign dynasty in the future, you must tell it in time, and there are two palaces on the side of the queen mother, the palace has to move around, you have to say hello to those slaves and maids on the side of Cining Palace, and if you can win over, you can win over, and the palace doesn't care about silver or anything." ”
"Yes."
