Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Chapter 27 Queen and Concubine

Tianjing First Ring Road, Pingnan Palace.

Why do you say "a child with a mother is like a treasure"? Wang Ziguang, who also came through, under the careful care of Princess Chaoyang, ate the medicinal food carefully prepared by Cui Yuanshi. These days, he eats it like a millet worm After sleeping, sleeping and eating, the cheeks were covered with soft flesh for the first time, and her complexion was much rosier.

In the early morning of this day, after days of cloudy rain had just come to an end, and just after dawn, Princess Chaoyang got up.Wang Ziguang has been sleeping with Princess Chaoyang, although he is not in the same bed, but he has never been embarrassed to get used to it.Wang Ziguang heard the sound of Princess Chaoyang waking up, rubbed his eyes and got up: "Mother... so early, what's the matter?"

"Well, go back to sleep." Princess Chaoyang saw her son lying back on the bed again, and said, "I don't know what happened two days ago, the palace has not received the wife, and today she is allowed to enter the palace to see her. Mother has to go."

These days, she was busy taking care of her son and didn't go out, and her bodyguard, An Hua, didn't have any new news for her.As for the abnormal situation in the palace, she asked her father, and she only got an order to "take care of the children at home obediently, and don't meddle in some things", Princess Chaoyang thought it was very strange.Originally, a concubine didn't need to make a special trip to the palace, it was enough to send someone to tell her, but she has always been a little uneasy these two days, so she decided to go to the palace.

Wang Ziguang was careful not to ask these two days, and only then asked: "Mother, how did you deal with Shuanghongyuan?" land.

Chaoyang glanced at him with a smile: "You want to ask mother, did mother kill someone?"

Wang Ziguang smirked.

Chaoyang's four maids, Ping Lan, Pingzhi, Pingzhen and Pingwan, helped Chaoyang get into the palace.Ping Lan was more aggressive, and described to the young master vividly: "Such a thing, how can it be worth dirtying the hands of the princess? Commander An Hua just invited three hundred guards from our prince to surround the yard and search for it. After verifying the physical evidence and convicting Zuo Shi, he locked him up."

"Oh." Wang Ziguang was stunned, his beautiful lady was already tough, and he had a father of Ding Wang who held 10,000+ military power, so it was easy to deal with a concubine.

Pingzhen went on to say: "For the sake of you, little son, the princess has made a vow before the Buddha to be a vegetarian all her life and not to kill, so it's just..." Pingzhen loves to laugh, so he started laughing.

Princess Chaoyang went on to say: "Mother just took away the people who served them, including Mrs. Sasao, and didn't keep any of them."

At first, Wang Ziguang didn't feel that this punishment was a big deal, because he was an ordinary citizen and had been self-reliant since he was a child.Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Pingzhen, who was smiling gloatingly, and then saw his beautiful lady in a dress and four people serving him... Suddenly, his heart was blessed.In ancient times, aristocrats had to be served by a group of people even to drink a small tea. If there were no more people to serve one day, they would have to do everything by themselves...

As long as the aristocrats with weak hands-on ability can starve to death, they are the kind that really starve to death.

The Zuo family still has three children from a concubine to take care of.

Princess Chaoyang knew that her son understood, put on her clothes and walked over, bent over and touched his son's face: "Suo'er, to deal with the enemy, you don't just use killing as a means of dirtying your own hands. Knowing how to make them hurt more and more Suffering is the most relieving revenge."

Mrs. Zuo had caused her to give birth prematurely, and she just let Mrs. Zuo take care of the child by herself today, and she was exhausted.As for whether Mrs. Zuo could have had a miscarriage due to fear two days ago, and bring up the newborn child who is not yet full-term...

Princess Chaoyang said that it was entirely Zuo's own problem. Princess Chaoyang quickly discarded her kindness as a woman, and Zuo never harmed her.

And Princess Chaoyang chose to tell her son some dark side... She has learned the truth about her father Dingwang's upbringing. If she keeps raising the child like a lamb, then when he grows up, he will only be soft and waiting to be slaughtered.

……

Princess Chaoyang finally put on the vermilion second-rank princess dress, with seven-tailed phoenix hairpins on her hair, and brought her maid Ping Lan, holding a stack of confessions from Anhua, the imperial physician, and a person who intervened in the case around Zuo, and went to the palace to sue the imperial court. .

The heavy rain had just stopped, and the road surface was a little slippery. Chaoyang walked slowly on the bluestone road in the palace, and felt that the atmosphere in the palace was very strange.

Princess Chaoyang didn't go directly to her uncle emperor, as trivial disputes in the backyard were not easy to bring before the ever-managing Emperor Tianshou.Chaoyang sees the mother of a country.The family disputes of the clan women have always been mediated by the queen, and if the mediation fails, they are handed over to the royal family's Dazong Zhengsi.

The late Empress of Tianshou Emperor, surnamed Yang, was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis family in Weiyuan, Northwest China.

Before ascension to the throne, Emperor Mu Zhi was just a concubine prince who was granted the title of county king. Although his original concubine was born in the Yang family of Weiyuanhou in the northwest, she was just a daughter of a side branch.But this Yang family is very talented, shrewd and courageous, with great ability, he fights or pulls, conspires, secretly tied most of the Yang family to Mu Zhi's chariot.This allowed Mu Zhizhi to grasp the forces in the army in the shortest possible time.

Later, Mu Zhi ascended the throne as the heaven-sent emperor by means of various methods. Originally, Empress Yang shared the troubles with the emperor when she was young, and she was very capable, so she was very favored.However, Yang was not lucky. She had a difficult labor when she gave birth, and she struggled to give birth to the child, but the child was stillborn.

Empress Yang was weak and suffered a blow, and she followed within two days. Before she left, she left a last word, not to let Yang's daughter enter the palace as a queen and concubine. Followed.

Princess Chaoyang privately thought that Empress Yang was a very smart woman, and knew that Emperor Tianshou hated women like the Empress Dowager Wei who had dominated the government for two generations, and didn't like the harem and relatives interfering in politics.The Yang family knew that her family's merits were too high, and she was suspected of deterring the imperial power. Any daughter of the Yang family who didn't have the relationship she had with the young man of the God-given Emperor, nor her wrist, would not end well after entering the palace. It might bring down the entire Yang family.

No matter how powerful the Yang family is, they cannot compete with the imperial power.

Just like the "money bag" Dongxing Wang Wei clan, one of the five founding kings with different surnames, because of a capable Empress Wei, when the third generation Changping Emperor was in poor health, he helped manage the government.After the death of Emperor Changping, the Wei family became the Empress Dowager, supported the young Emperor Yonghe to ascend the throne, listened to the government behind the curtain, and then ruled the government for decades... almost another female emperor appeared.

30 years ago, the Wei family, the relatives, were so prominent. After helping the Wei family and helping two generations of emperors to create a "prosperous and prosperous age", their own family was also rich as an enemy, and the forces related to it accounted for almost half of the fortune...

But now?

The Heavenly Granted Emperor defeated the Empress Dowager Wei's clan and ascended the throne as the emperor, while the entire Wei family...was just a dream of prosperity, vanished in smoke.

Empress Yang knew more about Emperor Tianshou, and after a lot of painstaking efforts, she did not bring grace to ask Emperor Tianshou to go to the Yang family to find another daughter-in-law to be his successor, but instead asked Emperor Tianshou to feel guilty about Yang's lineage. Tibet, but more trust in the Yang family.

The title of Marquis of Weiyuan in the Northwest was given to Empress Yang's father, Yang Ya, Empress Yang's younger brother, the eldest son of Marquis of Weiyuan, Yang Nanhuai's first wife passed away, and he was remarried to the Lord of Qiongshan County.Another Seventh Prince Concubine, the First Concubine of Ding Wangfu, came out of the daughter of the Yang family.

The Yang family is really simple in the emperor's heart, a very prominent family.

Besides, Empress Zheng, who is currently in charge of Renming Hall, is not as good at dancing, strategic and courageous as Empress Yang before, but she is also good-looking, honest and honest, and has a general literary talent.The status is also relatively noble, coming from a real century-old family, the Zheng family in Xingyang County, which also helped the Tianshou Emperor ascend the throne a little.

Speaking of the Zheng family in Xingyang, they were very handsome when the Daxing Dynasty was first established, and they quickly fell into the arms of the new emperor. As for the integrity?If there is such a thing, it is impossible to have a "family" that has continued to prosper for hundreds of years.I didn't see the "Wang" and "Xie" families who were prominent in the Lu-Jin period, but because they were "not handsome" and didn't marry the humble emperor, did they disappear?

Marriage is a relatively reliable means of pulling together relationships in ancient times.Zheng's refuge was so thorough that he disregarded his decency, married the founding patriarch of a poor family, and sent the best direct daughter into the palace, and it didn't matter if he couldn't be a queen.

All the aristocratic families condemned the "decline of the world", but they were not slow, and followed suit one after another, sending their own excellent girls to the Mu family for marriage.Anyway, Mrs. Zheng took the lead, blocking everyone's saliva.Mrs. Zheng is really Lei Feng.

At that time, the great ancestor Mutou was a carpenter, but the military adviser Zuo "accidentally" dug out a large jar from the wall of the old house that had been knocked down by the great ancestor at that time. It has been traced all the way, and it has been traced to the super sage 1000 years ago, "Confucius" who is the source of culture.

It turned out that Mu Tou was actually a descendant of Duan Muci, a disciple of the sage Confucius. He changed his surname to Mu to avoid the disaster of war, and was later changed to Mu by the great ancestor himself.

This "genealogy" can also fool the ignorant common people, and people from aristocratic families know what's going on-it's said that they all have eighth-dan black belts when they play this game.However, at any rate, there is such a saying that the Mu family was directly promoted from the humble family to the group of the aristocratic family, so the aristocratic family sent their daughters, and the shame became lower and lower.

The founder of the country, Mutou, of course likes the daughters of the "four rich" aristocratic families who have good looks, culture, heritage, and wealth. Not only can they get more financial, material, and manpower support, but they can also improve the quality and heritage of future generations.

Anyone who comes is not rejected, and everyone is accepted with a smile.

The ancestor's original wife, Wan Shi, was just a peasant woman who died in the war. The ancestor named his original spouse and married a century-old family in Youzhou who had the merits of Conglong and firmly followed him in "peasant uprising and righteousness". ——The daughter of the Lu family of Fan Yang became the successor queen, and the daughter of the Zheng family, the second family she took refuge in, was made a noble concubine.

The patriarch also chose the direct daughters of the aristocratic family as his concubines for the princes, which improved the overall status of the Mu family at once.The most important political significance is that in ancient times, the system of heir succession was followed, which means that all the candidates for the heir to the throne have half of the blood of the family, which completely tied the interests of the family to the Mu family of the royal family, which is conducive to consolidating the rule and more conducive to Social harmony and stability.

So much so that after the election of Emperor Daxing, there was an unspoken rule - the first daughter of a non-family is not allowed to be the queen.

This also caused Emperor Tianshou's father, Emperor Yonghe, to be unable to establish his true love Luo Shi, a woman who was born as a maidservant, as the queen, and finally led to Emperor Tianshou who was born by Luo Shi angrily seized the throne, and defeated the empress dowager Wei Shi, who was born 30 years ago. The source of the tragedy of the "Five Kings Rebellion".

No matter how thick Emperor Yonghe's arms were, he couldn't twist the family's thighs, and there was a queen guard...

Enough talking, let's get down to business!

The Zheng family of Xingyang, in the short hundred years of the Daxing Dynasty, among the six emperors, there were two empresses, two noble concubines, and countless four concubines and eighteen concubines.The current Empress Zheng is the Prince's biological mother, the most honorable woman in the world.

If there is no accident, this honor will continue until she becomes the empress dowager, and then dies.

But it happened by accident.

But even if the prince's virtues are bad, the Emperor Tianshou can't mess with Queen Zheng, and even because of the Zheng family...caring for the family, he dare not casually issue orders to abolish the queen and the prince.It must be arranged skillfully step by step, and there must be a very important reason that can be articulated.

Just saying "I don't like it anymore" is absolutely not allowed, and some scandals belong to the royal family, so they can't be talked about everywhere.

In addition, the Zheng family in Xingyang is too large, and there are too many descendants of the direct line branches who are officials in various places, so it is impossible to uproot them all at once.If one is not good, everyone in the aristocratic family will be in danger, and if they start to rebound, there will be big troubles.Although Emperor Tianshou's ruling methods were stronger and more iron-blooded than those of his ancestors, he did not dare to go head-to-head with the aristocratic family.

……

Princess Chaoyang handed over her waist card, and was told that Empress Zheng was sick and would not see outsiders, and Concubine Xie would receive her.

Let's talk about this Concubine Xie.

Both she and Concubine Xie Chen came from the Xie family in Chen County, which can be considered a big family. According to the Xie family, they are the descendants of the Xie family who were very prominent in the Lu and Jin dynasties. A big celebrity like Xie An.

If this is true, then the Xie family has a history of thousands of years.

However, the family tree thing... everyone understands.Just because the royal Mu family jewels are in front, no one dares to point out what is going on with the "emperor's new clothes".

The Xie family suffered a little more than other families, they were on the wrong team.

After the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, a descendant of the Li family of the royal family ran to the south and established a Later Zhou Dynasty, which was designated as an illegal small court by the Daxing Dynasty.And the Xie family is a die-hard fan of the small imperial court of the Later Zhou Dynasty... It can't be blamed that the Xie family is ignorant of current affairs, because the Xie family is famous for "producing many beauties". The interests of the descendants of the family and the Li family of the royal family are tied together.

The Daxing Dynasty rose, but Hou Zhou refused to submit immediately, and was wiped out by Emperor Taizong in two or three strokes.The little puppet emperor of the Li family was brought to Tianjing City. In order to show his generosity, Emperor Taizong made the youngest son of the Li family a hereditary foster father. Taizong hit hard - there must be a scapegoat.

The Xie family was forced to travel south to escape, and the family that was originally withered due to the demise of the Great Zhou became even more desolate.

Later, Emperor Changping, who was known for his gentleness and benevolence, was determined to reform, recruited wise men, broad-minded, and let go of the past. Only then did the Xie family dare to send their children to participate in the imperial examinations. Only then did the Xie family recover a little vitality, and returned to Tianjing City from the south, returning to the political arena. center.

The Xie family's rise is relatively fast, of course not because of an exaggerated family tree.The biggest advantage of the Xie family is - good looks.

Maybe there is indeed a bit of blood from the Xie family of the Lu Jin family, which was the most beautiful man in the Jin Dynasty, Xie An, so Xie's family, regardless of gender, is very beautiful, and there will be one or two peerless beauties in each generation , married better.Therefore, the Xie family's marriage has more advantages than other families, and the rise is naturally quick.

Let’s do the math: someone else’s family will raise a son, he will be promoted to an official position in his 20s and 30s, he will go to a small place to practice, and he will spend another [-] to [-] years when he becomes a high-ranking official with a generous salary. Retire on the third and fourth ranks.

What about the Xie family?The genes for giving birth to a daughter are better. It only takes more than ten years to raise a beautiful daughter, and she will marry out one after another, and she will keep the good son raised by others in the palm of her hand and wait for the harvest.Even the emperor and princes in the palace can be caged, which is unmatched by other families.

The Concubine Xie in the palace is the daughter of the Xie family. She is very beautiful and has been a holy family for more than 20 years. However, she is low-key and has a gentle temper. She is a first-class good person in the palace.

She gave birth to three children - the second princess Yongjia, the third prince Mu Nian who was named the King of Luoyang, and the fifth prince Mu Yi who was named the King of Linjiang.

It was Concubine Xie who received Chaoyang.

Everything in the palace seemed to be as usual, but Princess Chaoyang noticed the dignified atmosphere of the entire palace from the tense faces of the maids and the footsteps that did not dare to make a sound.

Something terrible must have happened.
