My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 650 Supervising the Country (2)

Before the emperor set off, there was finally a happy event in the palace.

The emperor wants to accept his concubine.

The other party is former Song Roufu Empress Concubine, Zhao Huanhuan.

Although the emperor's acceptance of his concubine is not as grand and complicated as the wedding ceremony with the queen, there are still basic etiquettes.

Originally, this was supposed to be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Harem. However, since the emperor became emperor, he had not set up many institutions to manage the inner palace. This was also to reduce the operating costs of the inner palace. The Imperial Palace has set up a special service management organization called the Inner Palace Affairs Bureau, which is in charge of various affairs of the emperor and the concubines in the harem.

Headed by the female official Shangguanqing.

In terms of this item alone, Wang Lin's harem expenditure is not even one percent of Zhao Ji's.

In the current Dayan Imperial Palace, including the concubines in the harem, the total number of female officials, deacons, court ladies, internal eunuchs, handymen and servants, etc., is less than 1000.

This is unique in all dynasties.

Therefore, the emperor's move was talked about by the ruling and opposition parties.

This alone is enough for Wang Lin to be called the wise king through the ages.

In addition, the emperor has been on the throne for three years and has never been drafted by the people.

Zhao Huanhuan felt very shy in the past two days, hiding in Zhao Fujin Palace and refusing to go out to meet people, until Shangguanqing arrived with the emperor's canonized edict, then she came out dressed up and prostrated herself on the ground, receiving the edict.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said: Zhao Huanhuan, the female official, is the former emperor of the Song Dynasty. She is a gentle concubine, diligent and submissive, graceful and pure. , hereby!"

"The concubine leads the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live!"

Shangguanqing smiled and handed the imperial decree to Zhao Huanhuan, glanced at her with a complicated face, then bowed and turned to leave.

From Shangguanqing's point of view, Rou Fu was the former Song emperor's daughter who lived in the palace all the time, and Zhao Fujin, Chongde, and Jiade Emperor Ji Zhao Yupan's three direct sisters were in the harem, so the treatment in the future would definitely be the same.

As soon as Shangguanqing left, Zhao Fujin, Chongde, Zhao Yupan, Zhu Lian and Guo Yuan all walked out together.

Zhao Fujin smiled and said: "Sister Roufu finally got her wish. You will move to Roufu Palace this afternoon, and you will marry Your Majesty tonight."

Chongde also said with a smile: "Your Majesty canonized you as Concubine Rou, and named the palace after your past title, which is enough to show His Majesty's favor. You should serve Your Majesty well and stop being petty."

Zhao Yupan smiled and nodded, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

As for Zhu Lian and Guo Yuan, they also came forward to offer their congratulatory gifts.

Zhao Huanhuan bowed and bowed with shame and tears in her eyes: "Thank you to my sisters, Roufu is here today, thanks to the care of my sisters, Roufu will definitely serve His Majesty well in the future."

Zhu Lian patted her on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Today is your wedding day, don't cry, it's unlucky."

Of course, Zhu Lian knew that Zhao Huanhuan was in tears of excitement.

……

After noon, the palace began to decorate with lanterns and festoons.

Dressed up, Zhao Huanhuan first went to the queen to pay her respects to Han Yan and the ladies, and then, under the guard of more than a dozen of her exclusive female officers, maids and deacons, moved to her Roufu Palace by step.

Roufu Palace is next door to Zhao Fujin Palace, which shows the emperor's thoughtfulness.

Zhao Huanhuan's heart was full of tenderness and sweetness, but also a little nervous and uneasy.

She began to dress up and wait for the emperor's arrival in the afternoon, until the evening, but the emperor did not come. She was anxious, but she didn't dare to send someone to ask.

In the imperial study room, Wang Lin sat behind the dragon case, with a cold and calm expression.

Kneeling under the hall was Shangguan Qing, the head of the female officials with a dismal complexion.

There was no one in the imperial study room, and all the accompanying ladies and officials, even the concubine Kong Lin, were shunned by the emperor. There were only the emperor and Shangguanqing in the room, and Shangguanqing could clearly hear the emperor's steady and powerful breathing.

"Your Majesty deserves to die for your crimes, and please give me a death sentence. I am willing to apologize with death."

Wang Lin was silent.

His deep eyes fell on Shangguan's thin shoulders, and a wave of anger swept through his heart.

For a long time, he had been relying heavily on this intelligent, charming, and strategic female official. It can be said that besides Yan Qing and Yang Yizhong, besides the emperor, there was Shangguan Qing.

Wang Lin spends more time with Shangguanqing than the concubines in the harem.

But Wang Lin never imagined that the person he trusted the most was actually an undercover agent who was placed beside him.

Wang Lin thought of Shangguan Qing's entry into the palace. In fact, Jin Yiwei also went through a very thorough and detailed investigation back then, and also passed through layers of tests. Among the very few women, they started to study behind closed doors since they were young.

However... such a rigorous selection and inspection, people still arrange people to come in, and they still arrange to become confidantes by their side, which means that there are huge hidden dangers and problems in their security system.

After three years, if Shangguanqing really attacked him, he might have been tricked too.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Shangguanqing, since you have arranged for Shi Yucheng to be the killer by my side, then, in the past few years, you have had many opportunities to attack me, why have you not launched it? But now, you have not If you haven’t been exposed, why choose to surrender to me?”

Shangguan Qing's pretty face was gloomy, and said quietly: "I am a concubine from the Shangguan family in the south of the Yangtze River, and my mother was born as a maidservant, so she is not well received in the family. My mother threw herself into a well and died because she couldn't bear the mistreatment by the mistress...

Chen is an orphan, and Shi Yucheng sponsored her to continue her studies.

Back then when His Majesty selected female officials, Shi Yucheng cleared up the relationship and ordered his ministers to sneak into the palace.

Although the minister agreed, since he entered the palace, he never thought of murdering His Majesty.

Until not long ago, Shi Yucheng sent someone to send a secret letter, requesting the minister to assassinate His Majesty.If the minister refuses to obey, he will threaten the lives of hundreds of Shangguan families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lately it has become even more pressing.

Your Majesty is a sage king through the ages, and he has great kindness to Dayan, to the people of the world, and to his ministers. The ministers will never hurt His Majesty.

These days are very tormenting, and after thinking over and over again, I decided to confess to His Majesty and allow His Majesty to punish me.

Because I know that a Shangguanqing, or even a Shangguan family from the south of the Yangtze River, is insignificant to Dayan, but Dayan and the billions of Li people cannot do without His Majesty.

The minister wishes to die quickly! "

Shangguanqing burst into tears and kowtowed heavily on the ground. When he raised his head again, his smooth and fair forehead was stained with blood.

Wang Lin looked deeply at Shangguanqing and sighed softly in his heart.

Shangguanqing's words have yet to be further verified by Jin Yiwei, but from the bottom of my heart, he has been with Shangguanqing for the past few years and knows her nature well. Confess yourself.
