530 Emperor's Dignity - Xiao Yinchen
Xiliang had several palace changes in succession, and King Xiliang watched coldly and did not participate, and in the end, King Xiliang gave way and Xiao Yinchen ascended the throne.
Xiao Yinchen vigorously studied great words, opened a township meeting to try Enke and the imperial lecture book, and attached importance to cultural governance, which attracted many literati with lofty ideals. Coupled with his deliberate good reputation for frugality, these stylish literati and writers praised the king's noble character.
But when the new king ascended the throne, there were still things that did not go well.
Although he seized power, there were many ministers in the court who were not convinced, and the ministers with eyes knew the truth of a courtier, and turned their allegiance to King Xinxi Liang in a timely manner, but some courtiers who thought they were strong, could not see the situation clearly, and did not know the current affairs were handsome, and repeatedly contradicted him.
Xiao Yinchen's uncle Feng Jingyao suggested that he clean up all the ministers who disobeyed him, but Xiao Yinchen refused.
The mother concubine died early when she was not favored, stayed away from the national capital as a hostage when she was young, and was under the fence for many years, so that Xiao Yinchen's endurance was greatly tempered. He patiently dealt with them one by one, or co-opted or dismissed and demoted, and everyone dealt with it with reason and evidence, and there was no suitable reason for some ministers in the court to ask for some explanations about this matter to trouble him.
For example, when he was going to the toilet, Zuo Xiang, who was opposed to him, suddenly fell into a vicious illness and dizzy, his legs weakened, and he fell into a dung pit and drowned.
For another example, the Tai Lieutenant, who had been disagreeing with him in the court, died of poisoning and coma (carbon monoxide poisoning) when he was burning a brazier at home for heating.
These courtiers can only say that they are unlucky, or because they are old or because they are careless, in any case, they can't blame King Xiliang for this.
Later, Xiao Yinchen found out that after the death of the left minister, the right minister immediately changed his attitude, he was respectful and obedient to himself, he was very satisfied with this, he was not the kind of person with a small belly, as long as the courtiers were willing to change their wrong behavior, he didn't mind giving them another chance. In order to show his recognition of the timely surrender of the right minister, he married Wen Yi, the daughter of the right minister.
A few days after Wen Yifeng, the daughter of the right minister, Xiao Yinchen found that this trick was very effective, and those ministers who had women to marry rushed to tie up with the big eunuchs around Xiao Yinchen, and later, he simply married the daughters of many important ministers into the palace, so that the officials of the previous dynasty were restrained.
In the dead of night, didn't he mock himself in his heart, he actually wanted to achieve the stability of the court through a woman, wouldn't he have lost his backbone? But that's the quickest way to do it. The change of power, it is the people who suffer, and as an emperor, his face is no longer so important. Only when the government is stable can we talk about imperial authority and imperial power.
The concubines in the harem gradually found that they enjoyed the glory and wealth of the palace, and they were in the name of the queen, concubine, concubine, and Zhaoyi, but it seemed to be just an ornament, and King Xiliang would never pamper them, and they never even touched their fingers.
If they didn't sow seeds from King Xiliang, they wouldn't be able to conceive children, and their little abacus fell short.
For example, Xu Guoshi, the father of the concubine, pondered that when the concubine gave birth to the prince, he would raise troops to kill the king and the queen, and his grandson was young, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, isn't this world his?
For example, the queen's father, Wen Cheng, pondered that when the queen gave birth to the prince, wouldn't half of the world belong to his family in the future? For this reason, the right minister secretly invited a lot of famous doctors and prescribed a lot of prescriptions for her, but Xiao Yinchen didn't sleep with her at all, how could she conceive a child?
In order to solve the problem from the source, the gentle and virtuous queen often visited Xiao Yinchen, and embroidered a lot of sachets and handkerchiefs for Xiao Yinchen.
Seeing this, the concubines in the harem also followed suit.
Since then, there has been a new trend in the court, and by looking at the sachet to judge which concubine the king has favored recently, he began to get close to which family. It is also difficult for these ministers to spend energy to carefully distinguish the differences in the embroidery workers and materials of the various palace maidens, so as to avoid errors in judgment.
"The thoughts of these old foxes...... Do they really think this king is a fool? ”
He said that he had married so many concubines and had no children, so he had to hurry up, the imperial heir was the greatest, and if he had nothing to do for a long time, he should consider the matter of succession as soon as possible.
Xiao Yinchen sneered, threw the fold on the table, and ordered Tsing Yi to pour wine.
Tsing Yi looked at his master, his thoughts drifted away, he was still fair-skinned, thick eyebrows and apricot eyes, and his appearance was charming, but that charming demeanor had dissipated at some point, and there was a bit of heroism between his eyebrows, which made people dare not approach.
He still likes to wear emerald green robes and white jade pendants. It was as if he was dressed like this, so that the person in the centrifugal could be closer.
When the king was drunk, he told her about the dreams he had, and the dreams that recurred again and again, were extremely real. He kept saying that he was the one who lost Beichu, but no matter whether this dream was true or not, whether there was a previous life or not, the master was still clean in this life.
Bai Zhihan embarrassed her, and he would take the initiative to stand up and help her out.
She was seriously injured, and the king, who was in a difficult situation at the time, would rather give up years of planning to save her, and the only soul rejuvenation pill was also given to her.
Sang Lianxin bullied her, so he made her a human and put this terrifying real doll in the night market for people to see.
Chu Wenrui made her unhappy, so he cut out her tongue and sent her to the kiln, so that people could record the fragrant picture of her and the man upside down, which was circulated in the community.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid warm this wine."
Xiao Yinchen didn't speak, Tsing Yi went out with a wine bottle, and after a while, he brought the warm wine and poured him a glass.
"Your Majesty, I heard that over there in Northern Chu, it was the seventh prince Xuan Wenheng who ascended the throne."
Xiao Yinchen raised his eyebrows, he was a little surprised, it was the fat boy who ascended the throne? He had the impression that the little fat man didn't care about anything but eating.
"It allowed him to take advantage of the loophole to get the throne, and it seems that this little fat man's life is quite good. Is there more news about him? ”
"This is a portrait of the Emperor of Northern Chu, and there is a booklet dedicated to the anecdotes of the Emperor of Northern Chu, all of which are talking about this new emperor Shengming Shenwu."
Xiao Yinchen opened the portrait and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows, but he didn't expect him to be a little handsome now.
"Read the booklet."
Tsing Yi cleared his throat: "This is written by the new emperor of Northern Chu to the concubines of the harem, 'Concubine Ai loves me so much, she cares for me everywhere, and I understand everything." I really don't know how to love you, Fang Youyan is sincere to his concubine. ’”
Tsing Yi thought about it, goosebumps all over his body rose, why is this little emperor so numb?
"This is written to the governor of Zhongzhou, has the river been repaired? The weather is hot and difficult, but how are the people doing? If you can't handle it, come and see you! ”
"And this is written to the Jiangnan General Army, the return of the water thieves? Prepare knives and good wine, these traitors are coming, kill the wine! ”
Xiao Yinchen couldn't help but wonder, did this Xuan Wenheng not study hard when he was a child, why is it all this vernacular?
"Anything else?"
Tsing Yi smiled and nodded: "This new emperor of Northern Chu is very confident, this is what he praised himself, 'I am a genius of the Kuang Dynasty, I am a Ming Jun of the ages'"
"This kind of self-confidence follows his father."
After drinking two sips of warm wine, Xiao Yinchen slowly spoke: "How is she?" ”
Xiao Yinchen didn't say who "she" meant, but both of them understood it in their hearts.
"She gave birth to a son and a daughter, and returned to the mountains and forests with Xuanming."
Xiao Yinchen nodded: "Pass on the portraits of the two, if you meet them in Xiliang, you must be entertained." ”
Tsing Yi replied: "If they come, can they report it to the king?" ”
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yinchen sighed: "No need. ”
