The rise of the president in the harem

The queen mother glanced at Duke Zhen's expression, then looked away.She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the pink and white Taoyao in the yard, and sighed quietly: "After the emperor dismissed the concubines from the harem, the Ai family always thinks of the old people from the late emperor. In those years, our Li family How did you get to where you are today step by step, brother is probably more vivid than Aijia, right?"

Li Yantai also stood up, walked to the window, stood beside the empress dowager, looked at the water-blue sky in the distance, sighed, but still comforted the empress dowager and said: "As the saying goes, you can't be rich for three generations, and you can't be poor for five generations. There is no evergreen empire in this world, let alone a family of heroes? Our Li family is blessed by our ancestors to enjoy prosperity for a hundred years, not to mention the fact that three generations live under one roof, which is a sign of good fortune.

After listening to his words, the queen mother said nothing.

Li Yantai watched the Empress Dowager's expression, and saw that her eyes shifted to a palace, which was in the direction of Yonghe Palace, and it was also the residence of his beloved daughter Li Rong'er during her lifetime.Speaking of which, Li Rong'er's tragedy was not caused by the Li family's extravagant pursuit of the queen's position?

If back then, without a woman of the right age or a brother, knowing that Li Ronger's character was not suitable for life in the harem, and not sending her into the palace forcibly, that child might not have ended up like this.Maybe Li Rong'er married an ordinary husband and lived an ordinary and happy life.

From what the queen mother said today, Li Yantai could hear that the queen mother was worried about the future of the Li family, and also heard that the queen mother was unwilling.Li Yantai knew his sister well, this woman was just too strong, that toughness was engraved in her bones and blood, let alone a woman, even an ordinary man would find it difficult to match her.Therefore, during the first emperor's time, the later position finally became her pocket, but as a price, she never got the favor of her husband in her whole life, and she lived her husband and wife relationship like a monarch and minister!

Isn't this cruel to a woman?

Li Yantai loves his younger sister from the bottom of his heart, but this cannot shield his eyes from seeing the current situation. Li Yantai is sober, so he hopes that the Queen Mother can let go of her obsession as soon as possible and choose the most current affairs. So he once again Consolingly said: "Now Your Majesty treats the Empress Dowager like his own mother! Although he loves Bi Yanjun, he treats the Li family as before. Although Gao's family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, has the Empress Dowager ever thought about why Your Majesty has never shown any intention of taking Gao and abandoning Li? "

The Empress Dowager's eyes were fixed, obviously these words pierced her heart.She finally turned around, looked at her brother, and said, "What do you think is the reason?"

Li Yantai sighed: "Because Bi Yanjun can see through the current situation."

"Brother, what you mean is that Bi Yanjun would rather help the Li family than use the Gao family?" The queen mother said as she carefully recalled Gao Yue's past behavior, and then she found that Gao Yue really seemed to have never shown anything Not only that, he also personally rejected the request of the Gao family to send his brother into the harem, and even reused Liang Chen, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, in the accounting department he founded. The intention couldn't be more obvious, not only is he not afraid of the Li family, but he also intends to support the Li family.Just this kind of mind, even the Queen Mother has to admire!

Li Yantai said: "He probably doesn't want the emperor to make it difficult. Queen Mother, sister, this actually shows once again that the emperor really treats you as his own mother!"

After saying this sentence, Li Yantai saw tears welling up in the Queen Mother's eyes.However, the Empress Dowager's concentration is strong, and the tears were fleeting, she quickly restrained her emotions and smiled.

The Empress Dowager sighed again, looked at Li Yantai with a smile and said, "Brother, if the Ai family didn't know your temper well, anyone who listened to today's words would probably regard you as the emperor's lobbyist. Alright The Ai family understands. Tomorrow, you should bring this matter up in the morning to see the reaction of all the officials. The emperor regards the Ai family as his own mother. How can a mother let me down? Besides, this child of the Gao family , the Ai family also likes it from the bottom of their hearts, but the Ai family is just... just a little unwilling."

But Li Yantai knew that his younger sister was not unwilling, she was just worried about the future of the Li family, but there is a saying that "children and grandchildren have their own blessings", the future of the Li family is not about him and her, the two half-dead old guys If you can still do the master's work, it's time for the children to work hard!

Now, Li Jing is standing in the East China Sea, news of success in the East China Sea is spreading frequently, and the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty is famous far and wide. This is already a great joy for Guangzong Yaozu!And Liang Chen, as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, is now gaining a firm foothold in the Accounting Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is an upright and honest official in the hearts of the people in the eastern suburbs. Hope for the future!

The point is, Liang Chen and Li Jing are still so young, they will shine in the court of the Great Zhou in the future, and they are destined to become the mainstays of the Great Zhou!In the whole generation of the Li family, with their husband and wife sitting in town, Li Yantai felt that there was no need for him to worry, and he couldn't understand why the Queen Mother was worried?

The empress dowager's worries, Duke Zhen, naturally don't understand.The relationship between Liang Chen and Li Jing dates back to the Mid-Autumn Festival when Liang Chen lived in the palace with his children, and the Queen Mother saw something was wrong.Now she has heard some gossip from the eastern suburbs back to the capital, of course it is about Liang Chen's unpleasant gossip, which makes the queen mother even more worried about how far Li Jing and Liang Chen can go in the future, if Liang Chen and Li Jing finally part ways , for the Li family, it means losing a very important key step above the court.

It is also for this reason that the Empress Dowager was so unwilling when Li Yantai pointed out that the back position was left vacant today.Because, in the eyes of the empress dowager, Li Jing and Liang Chen are just equal to an unfavored empress, not to mention the empress who is held in the palm of the emperor's heart and doted on the apex of his heart!

Therefore, in the Empress Dowager's view, the Jiangnan Gao family does not need to be an official at all. It is enough for the Jiangnan Gao family to prosper for another hundred years if a person like Gao Yue who is extremely doted on by the emperor sits in the back seat.After all, the person who is pregnant with the Dragon Heir is Gao Yue, and his child is destined to become the next emperor.Even if Zhou Feiqi worried that the Queen Mother would not support the Gao family vigorously during his reign, what about the next emperor?

The Gao family will rise sooner or later, because Gao Yue has already risen in the harem.

Thinking of the next emperor, the empress dowager's thoughts suddenly came alive again.She felt that she had to pave the way for Li's future while she still had the opportunity—starting from the baby!

The queen mother saw hope, and there was light in her eyes again.And Lord Zhen Guo came out of the palace, and after returning to the Li Mansion, he also went directly into the study, and secretly summoned his confidants in the court.

Therefore, in the early morning of the second day, twelve ministers with Lord Zhen Guo as their guards jointly signed a performance, imploring the emperor to establish a queen as soon as possible!

As soon as this remark came out, it directly detonated the Golden Luan Hall that day.Countless ministers were ignorant from the beginning, but recalled yesterday that the emperor called Duke Zhen Guo to the imperial study alone, and then decided that what Duke Zhen said must be His Majesty's intention. I was caught off guard.

Regarding the wedding, Zhou Feiqi originally had her own arrangements.He really didn't expect that Lord Zhen Guo went to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace yesterday, and turned around to make such a fuss.In this way, his plan will be disrupted!However, if he refuses to petition all the officials above the imperial court, Gao Yue will feel bad after hearing about it, so this matter——

"Where is the Minister of Rites?" Zhou Feiqi asked.

Ge Wang hurriedly came out, he was also one of the initiators of the petition, and he was named by the emperor, with a happy face, he said: "The minister is here."

"How are the preparations for the Chunwei venue going?" Zhou Feiqi asked.

There was no ups and downs on his face, but this question made all civil and military officials startled.Just now when the emperor ordered the Minister of Rites, everyone thought that the emperor wanted him to prepare for the empress ceremony. Why did he suddenly ask about the Chunwei examination room?Could it be that the emperor wants to use this to imply something - but, the little princes will be born in a few months, is it true that the emperor really wants to watch the little princes being born as concubines?

Among a group of dumbfounded ministers, Ge Wang quickly came back to his senses, and he hurriedly said: "Everyone is in place."

"Okay, you will come to the imperial study and report to me in detail later. Let's retreat." Zhou Feiqi stood up after finishing speaking, and walked out.

Ministers: What about the Queen?Shall we discuss it?Why did you retreat from the court just by clicking Gewang? !

At this time, Lord Ge Wang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was extremely excited. He had a premonition that when he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, His Majesty the Emperor might chat with him about the Empress Dowager. This is the only civil and military honor in the Manchu Dynasty!

Sure enough, the emperor met him in the imperial study room, and indeed asked him a question related to the empress dowager. The emperor asked him: "Which day is the most auspicious day this year?"

Ge Wang's heart was beating wildly, and he felt that as long as he told the date, His Majesty would definitely let him wave to prepare for it!He quickly suppressed his excitement, and calculated carefully.After a while, he frowned and said to the emperor: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the most auspicious day of the year must first be regarded as its purpose, and secondly, it must be calculated accurately based on the birth date of the person used."

Ge Wang looked at the emperor expectantly while talking, in fact, he hoped that the emperor would tell him immediately, 'this day is for my wedding', but after listening to his words, His Majesty the emperor only said 'that's it'. No more text!

Ge Wang was so anxious, he looked at the emperor eagerly.

However, the emperor waved his sleeves and said to him: "I understand, you go down first."

Ge Wang:? ! !It's over? !What about the wedding?What about after the seal?My ten fingers are all ready, so it's over before it even started? !

Ge Wang was dumbfounded and didn't move for a while.

Zhou Feiqi glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Is Ge Aiqing still busy?"

Ge Wang realized that he was disrespectful, so he knelt down with a puff, and shouted again: "Your Majesty, I ask you to consider your status as a prince, and you have already made Gao Biyan your queen!"

"Ah."

For some reason, when Ge Wang heard the emperor's understatement, he could hear a bit of complaint!He couldn't help being surprised, given the emperor's love for Gao Biyan, why would the emperor be unhappy if all the ministers asked for an order to make Lord Biyan the queen?Could it be that the queen candidate in the emperor's mind is someone else? !But besides Gao Biyan, Qi Liang is the only concubine in the harem? !

No way?Ge Wang was successfully frightened by his own imagination.

And Zhou Feiqi, who was sitting on the dragon seat, was also successfully angered by the lack of brains of the ministers!Alas, it seems that I will be coaxed again when I go back tonight!

Gao Yue: Achoo!
