[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

The woman in the Duke's mansion was obviously moved,? There was no sound for a long time.After a while, the footsteps of the two gradually faded away, and Yun Ling came down from the rockery and walked back to the west hall.

At this time, the new side concubine of the third prince had already entered the main hall. According to the children who were also in the west hall, the side concubine was indeed a beauty at a close look. Besides, she was young, you know, the main concubine of the third prince The side concubine and the previous concubine are both in their 30s,? It seems that the third prince's mansion is about to change.

When the new side concubine came out of the main hall, Yunling glanced quietly. The makeup on her face was too thick, so she couldn't see the facial features clearly, but her face was a standard melon-shaped face, and her cheeks were plump, exuding vitality.The corners of the third prince's concubine raised her mouth, she looked very happy, but her eyes were slightly cold, she also seemed to think that this was a strong enemy.

Even Concubine Zhen Gui in the palace specially sent mothers and eunuchs to give presents to this side concubine.You know, after the side concubine really enters the mansion, she will follow the third concubine into the palace. If Concubine Zhen gave something to the side concubine at that time, no one would discuss it no matter how long the gift list is.But I specially gave things to the concubine ceremony... The person brought by the side concubine looked proud,? The third prince probably thought his mother was considerate, right?Laughing very heartily,? The third prince's concubine sings and laughs with the third prince, but Yunling always feels that the coldness in the third prince's eyes is getting heavier.

The guests didn't know whether they really didn't care about this unreasonable behavior, or they were just pretending to be stupid. In short, the atmosphere of the banquet became more lively after people came to the palace.It was only when Yun Ling followed Yang Peishan back home in a carriage that Yang Peishan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the councilor of the Weihai Wei Assistant Division. No wonder Concubine Zhen couldn't wait for this side concubine to come to the palace to pay a visit before rewarding her."

Nowadays, the navigation industry is developed, and the Liang Dynasty has a vast land and resources, so it is inevitable to communicate with Westerners.Therefore, the first emperor selected three coastal guards—Taizhou Guard, Leizhou Guard, and Weihai Guard, and set up an assistant department next to the military yamen, which was in charge of trade with Westerners.Among the three coordinating divisions, the Weihaiwei Counseling Division Yamen is the headquarters and governs Taizhou and Leizhou's coordinating offices. The councilor of Weihaiwei is also two ranks higher than the counselors of the other two guards, and is the third rank.

When the current emperor selects concubines for the eldest prince to the fifth prince, he thinks that all the princes can assist the prince wholeheartedly, so none of the princes and concubines has a high family background.The official status of the third concubine's father is lower than that of Yang Peishan's father, Lord Yang. Now the new side concubine has a strong family, and is valued by Zhen Guifei. She is young and beautiful, which is an overwhelming advantage.

Yunling and Yang Peishan were gossiping about which Duke's mansion wanted to send the eldest girl to the third prince's mansion, but was cut off by the side concubine. At the time when the Qianqing palace was brightly lit, the leader of Feiyuwei, who was in charge of collecting news, was kneeling in front of the emperor. In the hall.

The emperor held the memorial he presented, panting heavily.He didn't ask those "are you sure" nonsense, because the chief of the Flying Fish Guard acted in a safe manner, and uncertain news would never be reported to him, even if he didn't ask questions.

But it was precisely because he knew that the news on the memorial was true that the emperor became even more angry.Zhao Wenying, a former Jinshi, a student of the emperor, he put him on the censor platform and let him serve as the supervisor censor, isn't it the emperor's grace?In the end, he sued the prince because of the mere 3 taels of silver given by the third prince.

Of course, the prince is indeed close to the military officers, but the purpose of Zhao Wenying's memorial is not to be loyal to the emperor, but to be driven by the third prince willingly, and wants to win the prince's golden crown for the third prince, which makes the old emperor very angry .When he knew that the prince had a good relationship with the general who had soldiers in his hands, the emperor felt very uncomfortable.But now that the crown prince has been abolished, the Jingyang Palace is deserted and deserted, which reminds the emperor of what happened to the crown prince when he was a child, and he can't help but soften his heart.No matter how bad the prince is, he was the one who raised him alone. Before he was deposed, he was still the crown prince. As a minister, the third prince didn't follow the principle of being a minister. What's his intention?

When he went to court the next day, the emperor took the lead in announcing that the second prince was allowed to go out of the palace from time to time.Although unlike before when he was a prince, he could leave the palace at any time, but had to go to the Qianqing Palace to submit the application first, but this was considered a disguised solution to the prince's confinement.

The ministers exclaimed, saying that the emperor's move "would cause the disaster of swords and soldiers", and in a short while most of the court knelt down.The emperor sighed, "The second prince is no longer a prince, and now he has not established a mansion. How to treat the second prince is no longer a matter of state, but my family's business. All of you have young sons in your family, so you should be considerate of my love for your son." Let's go." Now that we've talked about this, what else can the ministers say?There are also folks who prefer the second and third sons. Although the family business is handed over to the eldest son, they give more money to the beloved son when the family is divided.So he could only stand up and treat this topic as over.

Unexpectedly, before everyone could get up quickly, they saw a person stepping out of the line of civil servants, with a firm tone, "In that case, please Your Majesty, please establish a prince as soon as possible, so as to reassure the hearts of the people in the world."

Situ Hui took a closer look, and it turned out to be the left deputy capital censor of the Inspectorate.This old man is his father-in-law's immediate superior, and when Situ Hui was thinking about where the evil wind was blowing, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites also came out, holding up Yugui with both hands, "Second minister."

After that, another seven or eight ministers came forward to second the proposal.The emperor's throne was really too far away from the ministers. Even though Situ Hui, as the prince, stood in front of the ministers, he still couldn't see his expression clearly.I only heard the emperor's indiscriminate voice, "Oh, the crown prince is appointed, so in Aiqing's opinion, which prince can take on this important task?"

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Zuo Fudu Yushi, and thinking of the letters from Weihai and Jiangnan in the previous ten days, felt more and more that what he was about to say was in line with the emperor's wishes, "Although the elders and children are orderly, it is really difficult for the eldest prince to be a big responsibility. See you, the third prince."

The few who stood up, except Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, all said seconding. Seeing this situation, the ministers who did not stand up were afraid that they would fall behind and leave a bad impression on the new crown prince, so they kept getting seconded.The last voice fell, and there was silence in the hall. Only then did everyone realize that half of the people standing here today had spoken out.

"The third prince is so nice," the old emperor said with a smile, pointing to a place just one step away from him, "The second prince sat here before, and it's not that he hasn't commented on the government, so he can't do it." By doing this, half of the imperial court will be convinced."

However, the second prince at that time was the prince!He and the courtiers have status as monarchs and ministers, and if everyone can't agree with him, why does the current Third Prince let so many courtiers recommend him?More and more sweat oozes from the forehead of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. He stood up today just to let the emperor consider the issue of establishing a crown prince. After all, the emperor is getting old, but he never thought of demonstrating to the emperor with everyone!

Just as he was thinking about how to get himself out, he heard the emperor at the top say again, "Why doesn't Li Aiqing second? Isn't the third prince the candidate in your heart?"

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites tensed his body, trying to make his expression look comfortable, "The establishment of the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country, and I am not familiar with the virtues of the princes, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know him well. Aren't all the civil and military men in the court familiar with my third prince?" The emperor thought of Zhao Wenying at this moment, and looked down. Although Zhao Wenying was not among the seven or eight people who stood up first, he still spoke out. Seconded, so he sneered a few times, pointed at the third prince and said, "The second prince is rebellious and loses everyone's hearts; but you can make the manipulative civil and military recommend you, which is ten times or a hundred times more harmful than the second prince."

The ministers who had originally voiced the second prince fell silent, and then heard the emperor continue, "The third prince has not followed the way of ministers since he was a child, and he has had frequent disputes with the second prince, and even cursed the second prince. It is well known in the palace. Pursue it, I didn't expect that now he bribed the courtiers with a lot of money and formed a party member, thinking that I am old and my time is numbered?"

These words are actually a bit bullying. It has been a day or two since the third prince and the second prince have been at loggerheads. The emperor was not unaware of the fact that he was so angry that he jumped up and scolded in private. It would be too much to rise to the height of "curse nightmare".But the emperor said so, who dares to refute?Everyone under the steps was sweating profusely, and the timid ones even trembled.

Although the emperor tried his best to restrain himself, he still felt that his eyes were darkened, and the roar in his ears became louder.Seeing that the situation was not good, the eunuch Chang Li quickly helped the emperor who had stood up excitedly back to the dragon chair, and heard the emperor's tone calm, "I have made my own decision in my heart about the reserve position, and I will retire from the court."

A court meeting ended in such a way, which was unexpected by the courtiers who just spoke in favor of the third prince as the crown prince.Thinking about what the emperor said just now, it is not much different from "disloyalty and disfilial piety", it's just that he didn't say it clearly.

The third prince, Situ Kun, walked out together with the crowd in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.The ministers who had been around him were nowhere to be seen at the moment, and what everyone was thinking over and over in their minds was what the emperor said just now—the decision on the candidates for the reserve position has been made, and it seems that the second prince and the third prince are definitely dead. The eldest prince is absurd, could it be the fifth prince?Or a few unmarried little princes?

Yun Ling felt that Yang Peishan suddenly became busy during this time.This kind of busyness is not going to banquets everywhere like flowers and butterflies, but the time spent listening to the nuns' reports has increased significantly, especially one, Song Nunnies, who is in charge of gifts from outside the house. Seriously than before.The fifth prince also spent significantly more time in the front yard every night. Although the frequency of coming to Yunling's Guantong courtyard was not much different from before, it was obviously not easy for the concubines to see him.

The emperor didn't care how the courtiers and the prince reacted after he set off thunder in the court hall. At the beginning of April, there was another news from the palace that someone was finally going to sit on the phoenix seat that had been vacant for more than twenty years.
