Jiapingguan Chronicle

"Xiao Cha is right." Second Master Jiang nodded, walked back and sat on his imperial concubine's couch, and sneered, "Ten years after Emperor Yongjia left the capital, both the clan and the powerful families who controlled the government have I don’t know what the character and temper of this King of Yongzhou is, and I don’t know where his bottom line is. The most common thing I hear is that he likes the daughter of the Zhou family in Yongzhou. Because of the existence of this concubine, he has not been appointed to the throne for ten years. The concubine, who has been childless for ten years, takes this side concubine to travel around the mountains and rivers, acting like a happy prince. But you also know that the more this happens, the more people in the clan and aristocratic families feel less confident, and they They were afraid that this was just the Crown Prince's cover-up. Therefore, they had to find ways to find out about the situation in the East Palace and try to find ways to stuff people into the East Palace. But they couldn't stuff people in the East Palace too obviously. So, the best excuse was that the Crown Prince couldn't just favor his concubines. One person must spread his branches, recruit concubines, and fill the harem."

"Come to think of it, Emperor Yongjia himself should also know this, right?" Shen Cha touched his chin, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha curiously, "What did you think of?"

"I said before that Emperor Yongjia left his mother and left his son, right?" Seeing Shen Haolin nod, Shen Cha chuckled, "Then I can understand it. It's not that he is cruel or cruel, but that these women are They are the informants of various families. When they have children, they are asked to give birth to them. Whether they raise them by the side of the Crown Princess or by the side of Queen Kangshun, it doesn't matter, as long as they are not with their biological mothers. Okay. I think it was not just the biological mothers of these children who were eliminated at that time. The people who followed these women into the mansion to serve and were related to their natal families should have been eliminated quietly, right?" She looked at Jiang Second Master, "Am I right?"

"Ninety-nine." Jiang Erye nodded lightly, "After the crown prince's canonization ceremony, courtiers began to write letters, stating that His Highness the Crown Prince had no heirs, which was a great unfilial piety, and requested that His Highness the Crown Prince accept concubines and Nabi people. , to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family. These courtiers did not clearly point out that Queen Kangshun was jealous and did not allow the crown prince to have concubines. They just elaborated their views very tactfully, saying that the former crown prince and several princes and their families had been killed. , the heirs of the royal family are dying, this is not okay, such a heavy responsibility must fall on the crown prince, and the crown prince should be asked to think about the future of the royal family." He paused, yawned, and said, "Yongjia The emperor had actually anticipated this, and had made his concerns clear to Queen Kangshun and the queen's aunt before entering Beijing. However, Queen Kangshun's aunt made it clear that the marriage between them It's just an agreement. It's impossible to have a substantive relationship, let alone reproduce offspring. It's absolutely impossible. Queen Kangshun said that since the prince has been established as the crown prince, this responsibility must be shouldered, and the concubine is It is imperative that she do it, so she will not stop it, and she is also very happy to see new life being born."

"Hey, this Queen Kangshun still understands justice, right?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Mei Lin and then at Shen Cha, "She doesn't seem to be that jealous, right?"

"But she has a condition, no, she should be worried." Jiang Erye chuckled, "She is just worried that someone will use this person to come in and monitor their every move. Although they don't want to do anything, they are worried every day. Being watched every night, there is no freedom at all, and this feeling is also very bad. Therefore, she made a condition that if it is determined which girl is the eyeliner, and if this girl has a child, when she gives birth to the child, she will create Accidentally, he killed someone.”

"This idea was actually proposed by Queen Kangshun?"

"Yes, this was proposed by Queen Kangshun. She thinks more and is more worried about the safety of her own people."

"It's understandable to think so, right?" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Originally, my life was pretty good, but because of an inexplicable accident, they had to become targets. They looked like the most noble people in the world. , In fact, even her life is not under her control. There is nothing wrong with her being so cautious and wanting to save herself and her family's lives."

"It's true that the positions are different." Shen Cha sighed, "It seems that Emperor Yongjia also very much agreed with this proposal, so that's why the mother left the son behind."

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang chuckled, "Because they had expected this before, reached a consensus, and thought about the aftermath. Therefore, after the courtiers submitted the letter, the opposition they thought did not happen, but instead The Crown Princess took the initiative to hold a banquet in the East Palace and began to select concubines and beauties for the Crown Prince. She did not show any displeasure or displeasure at all, but was very positive. This was unexpected by the aristocratic families in the capital. The East Palace was considered It caught them off guard.”

"There is a banquet in the East Palace, and the invitations sent out should be from aristocratic families. Those big clans that avoid the East Palace. The second grandfather said before that they do not want to marry the girls in the family into the royal family, especially now that the Crown Princess and the third The concubines on one side have been registered, and the relationship between the prince and them is very deep. Sending the daughter of the family there will definitely cause suffering and may even cost her life. Therefore, even if they accept the invitation from the East Palace and take her to the banquet, It won’t be my own girl.”

"Yes." Second Master Jiang nodded, "I will definitely not bring girls carefully cultivated by my family, but they also have many choices." He stretched out his finger, "Look, the side branches, disciples, and those who are married to them Small families with close connections can all be chosen. If the girls from these families can be selected by the East Palace, they will reach the sky in one step, and their respective families will also become prosperous. For the powerful families that contributed to all this, those small families will definitely Those who are grateful become more loyal. However, they never thought that their girls were not sent in to enjoy the blessings, but were used as tools by several parties and could be discarded after being used."

"Even if they knew in advance, they probably wouldn't regret it. The powerful family will compensate them. Even if it's not compensation on the surface, they will also give them some help secretly." Jin Miaomiao sighed softly and looked towards Second Master Jiang asked, "So, hosting a banquet in the East Palace is useful?"

"Of course." Second Master Jiang raised his eyebrows, "In the second year after Emperor Yongjia was canonized as the Crown Prince of the East Palace, the East Palace selected five beauties. In the third year after the canonization of the Crown Prince, Su Meiren and Yang Meiren among the five beauties were passed down successively. There was no news of pregnancy, and the next year they gave birth to Emperor Yongjia's eldest son and second son. However, the two of them did not have the chance to see the children grow up, because they died due to dystocia on the day of delivery."
