After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

Emperor Jiaqing was a man of his word. Since he had said that he would make Jiang Wan his queen, it was natural that he was not just talking about it. After the matter at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was resolved, he began to think about it.

In the court hall, the ministers had reported to Emperor Jiaqing the affairs of today's morning court, and when they were about to go down to court, Cui Yuan, the Minister of Punishment, suddenly stood up and said to Emperor Jiaqing, who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, now There is no owner in the middle palace, should we re-elect a queen?"

When the ministers heard Cui Yuan's words, they couldn't help but look at him.

Nowadays, the middle palace is indeed ownerless, and the emperor does need to establish a new queen. However, the previous queen has only been abolished for a few days, so there is no need to be so anxious. After all, establishing a queen is a big event.

Besides, how could Cui Yuan, a minister of the Ministry of Justice, care about such a thing.

But when they thought about the relationship between Cui Yuan and Emperor Jiaqing, the ministers suddenly understood.

Cui Yuan and Emperor Jiaqing were both kings and friends, and Cui Yuan was Emperor Jiaqing's right-hand man. His thoughts generally represented Emperor Jiaqing's thoughts.

Therefore, when Cui Yuan mentioned the matter of establishing a queen in the court, it must be what Emperor Jiaqing meant.

But the emperor wants to establish a queen, which empress should he choose?

For a time, the ministers began to mentally consider the selection of concubines in the harem who could be qualified to serve as queens.

Emperor Jiaqing had the fewest concubines in the harem among all previous emperors. The ministers went through the family backgrounds of the concubines who could be named in the harem, and found that only Concubine Xian and Zhang Zhaoyi were the most suitable.

The virtuous concubine is virtuous and virtuous, and she is an old man in the palace. Her background is not too bad, and she deserves the honor of a queen.

As for Zhang Zhaoyi, she was born in a general's palace and had the most prominent family background among the concubines in the harem.

And just when the ministers were discussing who was the most suitable to be the queen, Concubine Xian or Zhang Zhaoyi, Emperor Jiaqing spoke up and said: "Cui Aiqing is right, the harem cannot be without an owner. I think the prince's biological mother, Concubine Hui, is the most suitable. , dear friends, what do you think?"

As soon as Emperor Jiaqing finished speaking, a minister immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, although Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the prince, her background is too low to be qualified to be the queen of the world!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Hui comes from a rural background. How can she be the empress? I think Zhang Zhaoyi is the most suitable one. Zhang Zhaoyi comes from a famous family and is worthy of being the master of the harem."

"Wei Chen feels that Concubine Xian is the most suitable one. Although Zhang Zhaoyi has a prominent background, her temperament is not calm enough and she is not suitable to be a queen."

"Although Zhang Zhaoyi is of high birth, her temperament is not as stable as that of Concubine Xian, and she is not as suitable to be a queen as Concubine Xian."

The ministers argued over who was more suitable to be queen, Zhang Zhaoyi or Xianfei, and directly ignored what Emperor Jiaqing had just said about making Jiang Wan his queen.

After all, in their opinion, Jiang Wan's background was too low.

How can a woman from a rural background be a queen?

Although Jiang Wan's brother Jiang Feng is now an official, and the Jiang family is no longer the ordinary squire it used to be, for them, Jiang Feng's low official rank is simply out of their reach.

The reason why they think highly of the Jiang family is because the Jiang family produced a beloved concubine like Jiang Wan and gave birth to Emperor Jiaqing's only heir. But in fact, privately they did not look down on the Jiang family.

"Have you all discussed enough?" Emperor Jiaqing looked at the noisy ministers below and raised his voice.

After hearing Emperor Jiaqing's words, the ministers immediately fell silent and looked at Emperor Jiaqing who was sitting at the head.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down and their attention fell on him, Emperor Jiaqing finally said: "The Concubine Xian likes to be pure. The Queen has to manage many matters in the harem, so she is not suitable. As for Zhang Zhaoyi, she is even less suitable because of her temper. She is not solemn and calm enough. If the harem is left to her to manage, I am afraid it will be a mess. Although Concubine Hui is from a poorer background, she is the biological mother of the prince. Since ancient times, the mother is more valuable than the son, so how can you not be the queen? Don't you think that she can be the queen? Do you want the prince to continue to carry the name of a concubine?"

After hearing Emperor Jiaqing's words, the ministers couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

The background of Concubine Hui was not just bad, it was really bad. If it weren’t for the fact that the Empress Dowager was not willing to accept that the Emperor had no concubines and forced the Emperor to draft a new draft, and these ministers were unwilling to let their own daughters enter the palace. With Concubine Hui, With his background, he is not eligible to participate in the draft at all.

Even if Concubine Hui's brother is now an official in the court, he is just a small commentator on affairs in Dali Temple.

A small seventh-grade official was inconspicuous in this capital city filled with powerful families.

If he hadn't had a sister like Concubine Hui, they wouldn't have paid attention to such a petty official.

It's just that the ministers dared to accept Emperor Jiaqing's words. After all, the prince had a distinguished status and was the only son of Emperor Jiaqing. He would be the emperor in the future. If they refuted it, wouldn't it mean that they couldn't see the prince?

After all, if the prince's biological mother becomes the queen, the prince will be the direct descendant of the middle palace, and his status will be more noble.

It's just that these are just the icing on the cake. After all, Emperor Jiaqing only has a son, the prince. So what if the prince is not his legitimate son? Who dares to make an issue of it.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Cui Yuan smiled and said: "Wei Chen agrees with your majesty's proposal. Although Concubine Hui is not of high birth, she has made a great contribution to your majesty by giving birth to the prince. And I heard that the matters in the harem are now handled by Hui Concubine Hui is taking care of it, and Concubine Hui has taken care of the harem in an orderly manner without any mistakes. It can be seen that Concubine Hui has both talents and virtues and is worthy of the important responsibility of the queen."

Cui Yuan had a close relationship with Emperor Jiaqing and was a close minister of the emperor, so they were not surprised to see him helping Emperor Jiaqing speak up and agreeing with Emperor Jiaqing to make Jiang Wan the queen.

As soon as Cui Yuan finished speaking, several ministers immediately echoed: "I also think that Concubine Hui is the most suitable to be the queen. When the prince is born, it will be beneficial to the prince. I think other ministers should be thinking about it." Prince, okay?"

The ministers who agreed with Cui Yuan were all close to him, so they naturally agreed with Cui Yuan.

Although cliques are prohibited in the court, the exchanges between ministers cannot be prohibited.

There are still many small groups among the ministers.

Just like the ministers who proposed to make Zhang Zhaoyi queen, they were all military attachés. Because Zhang Zhaoyi came from the General's Palace and were both military generals, they naturally preferred the General's Palace.

Although the ministers wanted to refute, as soon as the other party said this, if they refuted, wouldn't it mean that they could not see the prince?

They don't want to be unable to afford such a big hat.

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Xu Shoufu, hoping that he would persuade Emperor Jiaqing to give up the idea of ​​establishing Jiangwan as queen.

After all, Xu Chieffu is the most respected among them, and his words are much more useful than those of these people.

Emperor Jiaqing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, could clearly see every move of the ministers below. Before Xu Shoufu could speak, he looked at Xu Shoufu and asked, "Sir, do you think my decision to establish Concubine Hui is feasible?"

Hearing this, Xu Shoufu slowly said: "The matter of establishing a queen is a national matter, so it must be considered carefully. This matter still needs to be discussed carefully."

In fact, although Xu Shoufu did not fully agree with Emperor Jiaqing's decision to make Jiang Wan the queen, he did not have as big a reaction as other ministers. After all, he was not that pedantic. Like other ministers, he felt that the queen must be born. Nobility can do the job. What's more, he knows the temperament of the emperor he assists best. As long as it is decided by him, it will not change. Therefore, even if ministers like them object, he will still insist on making Jiang Wan the queen.
