Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qiyu made an arrangement, and the three giants of the harem were born.

In the future, the Empress Dowager Sun lived in Cining Palace and controlled the greatest power of the harem. Empress Qian lived in Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Zhou Guifei lived in Kunning Palace, and they were promoted to Empress Taishang together, and since then they have realized the real division of court.

Zhou Guifei was full of pride, and her attitude towards Zhu Qiyu was raised by two notches, and she asked with a smile: "Uncle, Shen'er is still obedient, have you been naughty and caused trouble?" ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I didn't cause trouble, the biggest problem of their sister and brother is that they are too obedient and likable, so that they kidnapped my princess, and I am now like a resentful woman, guarding the empty room alone." ”

Zhou Guifei said with a smile: "Then we can only make my uncle more tired, and then we have to move the palace, there must be chaos in the palace, and the concubine still wants to let their sister and brother live with their sister for a longer period of time, and then pick them up after the concubine finishes moving." ”

"That's no problem, you can stay as long as you want, the princess takes them to read and write in the morning, and play and hang out in the afternoon, so that our house is also lively."

"That's a good feeling, Uncle Lao thanked my sister on behalf of the concubine, and there are still a hundred Shu brocades here in the concubine's body, go back and let Yahuan send it over to make clothes for my sister."

"It's good, it's good, Shu brocade is good, I like the clothes made of Shu brocade. Then I won't be polite to my sister-in-law, so I might as well obey the princess for my respect. ”

Although Zhou Guifei said that she would take the child back after moving. In fact, Zhou Guifei had already figured it out, so she simply let the prince live in Qi Mansion for a long time.

The first is to repay the favor and use the prince's right to raise and teach to repay Zhu Qiyu's care for himself and the Zhou family.

Second, now that the palace is in chaos, in addition to Queen Qian, there are also a large number of concubines of the emperor, and these people are likely to take advantage of the chaos to attack the prince. Especially the Wan family, who has already given birth to the second son of the emperor and the third son of the emperor, has the motive to start, if the Wan family and Queen Qian join forces, it is really impossible to prevent it.

If Zhu Jianshen has three longs and two shorts, everything will be over. So Zhou Guifei also figured it out: it is better to hand over Zhu Jianshen to Princess Qi to feed, the relationship between the characters in the backyard of Qi Mansion is much simpler, and Princess Qi has run it up and down tightly, and the security is much higher than living in the palace.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu and Zhou Guifei had finished chatting, Empress Dowager Sun continued to ask: "Emperor, I shouldn't be concerned about political affairs. It's just about the inner court, I want to ask the emperor how to arrange the eunuchs in the palace? ”

Zhu Qiyu understood as soon as he heard it, this was asking how to distribute the power of the celebrant and the celebrant priest. Zhu Qiyu had already made a decision on this matter, and replied without thinking about it: "The minister thinks that Jin Ying should take over the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor; Xing'an served as the chief of ceremonies and supervised the East Factory. ”

After Zhu Qiyu finished saying this, he looked at the Queen Mother, and then the scene was cold.

After a while, Empress Dowager Sun asked curiously: "Emperor, why are you stunned if you continue to speak?" ”

Zhu Qiyu also asked curiously: "After the minister finished speaking, the queen mother still asked the minister to continue to say?" ”

Empress Dowager Sun was stunned by Zhu Qiyu: "You haven't finished speaking, aren't there still Cheng Jing and others by your side, how to arrange it You haven't said yet." ”

"The arrangements for Cheng Jing and them are all unhurried errands, and the minister thinks there is no need to take them out. There are only four or five eunuchs around the minister, and Cheng Jing will take over as the commander of the ceremonial supervisor and the internal official supervisor; Wang Cheng served as the celebrant of the book. The rest of the people went to the middle study on an errand. ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun's eyes widened, and she really couldn't accept Zhu Qiyu's strange operations. According to the unwritten latent rules, when the new monarch ascends the throne, even if he does not promote his cronies and eunuchs to the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, he must at least get the Dongchang in his hands.

As a result, Zhu Qiyu didn't want anything, just sent two people to supervise the celebrant supervisor, in addition, he didn't want the palm print, the pen, and the commander of the East Factory.

Empress Dowager Sun couldn't stand it anymore: "Emperor, you're over, it's a bit too much." Let's let Cheng Jing be a celebrant and supervisor, even if you are the commander of the East Factory, you don't want to be so mean to the people below, otherwise who will be willing to work hard for you in the future. ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Hey, Cheng Jing is a quiet person by nature and doesn't like to compete for fame and fortune, and the minister also obeys his wishes." Jin Ying and Xing'an are shrewd and capable, loyal and reliable, let them be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the East Factory, the minister is very relieved, please the Queen Mother Mingjian. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard Zhu Qiyu say this, she no longer insisted. It's just that Empress Dowager Sun was really unconfident by Zhu Qiyu, and began to wonder if Zhu Qiyu had a bad head, and really wanted to return the throne to the emperor.

So Empress Dowager Sun said tentatively: "Emperor, you just said it yourself, mothers are precious by their sons, and it has been the principle since ancient times. Respecting Concubine Wu's sister as the queen mother, this is a logical thing, the emperor should hurry up and let the cabinet draft the decree and handle it with the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and refused very resolutely: "The mother concubine is a good Taoist, and she is especially happy and quiet, and the queen mother also knows it." The mother concubine has already made it clear that she will never accept the honorific title, please don't be hard for the queen mother. ”

Empress Dowager Sun was anxious when she heard this: "Then the queen, you have to stand up, right?" ”

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, just shook his head firmly.

Empress Dowager Sun sighed: "I know that the emperor has always disliked Princess Yu. Anyway, let's cross the ancestral law, first come out with an imperial concubine, and then respect two queens, who have already broken the rules, and don't care about breaking one more. If you want to make Princess Qi the queen, it's not that you can't negotiate, I can talk about it. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, my little princess likes freedom, crying and shouting, she is very willing to be the princess of Qi, and she doesn't want to be the queen if you kill her." ”

Empress Dowager Sun was completely speechless, and looked at Queen Qian and Concubine Zhou, not knowing what to say.

It was still Zhou Guifei who was empathetic and spoke out in time to solve the siege: "The concubine understands Princess Qi, and what she yearns for most is a free and carefree life." Concubine Qi's sister is living a very comfortable life now, and the concubines are envious, so the queen mother will follow her. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she nodded helplessly, and decided to observe and observe again, find out Zhu Qiyu's true thoughts, and then make further decisions.

Seeing that most of the things had been negotiated, Zhu Qiyu got up to say goodbye and returned to the palace. Take a bath, eat, and take a good nap.

In the afternoon, Zhu Qiyu got up and came to the flower hall in the front yard. This flower hall was originally a warm pavilion, used to cultivate exotic flowers and plants, for winter enjoyment, but at this time it has been cleaned up by the princess into an elegant and warm meeting hall.

The flowers in the hall are still the same, but there is a little more bookishness. Zhu Qiyu sat on the couch, and Bai Gui, Xiang Zhong, and He Yi, the three new scholars, came over to salute.

Zhu Qiyu first carefully looked at Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong, both of whom were famous ministers in history, and they both made it to the military department. Now Bai Gui is only 30 years old, and Xiang Zhong is only 28 years old, which is the most youthful and vigorous time.

After looking at the two, Zhu Qiyu asked with concern: "The trip to Tumubao is very dangerous, are the two Aiqing injured?" ”

When Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Two Aiqing, hurry up, you just went out with the car, and you didn't lead the troops, and you didn't make any plans, and you can't be blamed for the defeat of the army."

People are fine, just come back alive, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, there will always be a day of shame in the future. “

After appeasing the two, Zhu Qiyu looked at He Yi again and looked at it seriously. When you become an emperor, you don't have two intimate descendants, that's really not good.

Zhu Qiyu's positioning of He Yi is different from Bai Gui and Xiang Zhong. Those two are suitable for being sent out to lead troops to fight, and they have already received the favor of the emperor, so it is difficult to raise them again.

He Yi is different, he only became a jinshi last year, and the emperor has not had time to promote him. And he was only 21 years old when he was a sergeant, and now a year later, he is only 22 years old, and his plasticity is still very strong, and after he is cultivated, he can be used for many, many years.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu smiled at the three of them: "I have wronged you, I have to sort out the paperwork for me here for a few years first." But don't worry, I will lay out for you your future career. As long as you follow me and work hard, you will be in the future and in the future, it will not be a problem at all. ”

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly thanked them.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Is Cao Tai, the envoy of Sichuan, here?" ”
