Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 709 The current queen complains to the former queen

While Zhu Youjian was planning his overseas strategy, someone in the harem was worrying about choosing a concubine for him, and these few people who were busy with his "happy" life were not outsiders, but Zhou Hou and Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan.

When it comes to the selection of concubines by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, one cannot avoid the old man Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Feeling that in history there are many evil examples of concubines with powerful families intervening in politics, causing foreign relatives to become powerful and seriously threatening the imperial power. In the first year of Hongwu when he ascended the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered someone to compile "Nv Xun" as a management for future generations. The family law of the harem.

"Women's Training" stipulates that when selecting empresses and concubines, "all emperors, princes, concubines, and palace concubines should carefully select women from good families, old concubines, and folks who are rich in empresses."

In order for the emperor behind him to always remember the lessons of history, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Ministry of Industry to make a red card, engrave it with a word admonishing the concubine, and hang it in the palace, and asked the future monarchs to strictly manage the concubine and not violate it.

Facts have proved that Lao Zhu's method is still very effective.

Since Taizu Taizong, and Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, there has never been a vicious case of a strong man in the Tang Dynasty with a harem interfering in politics and a relative sitting in the throne. Except for the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, whether it is the harem or the relative The sense of existence is extremely weak, even so weak that it is almost ignored by everyone.

Not only that, many emperors in the Ming Dynasty rarely even held the draft event every three years. No matter whether this was intentional or unintentional, it still reduced the occurrence of many tragedies of separation among the people.

The reason why Zhou Hou and Zhang Yan wanted to choose Zhu Youjian's concubine was because Zhou Hou received a piece of news a few days ago: Tian Hong met Tian Guozhang and adopted an adopted daughter.

It is said that this woman is both erotic and artistic, and her beauty is overwhelming. She can be described as a peerless beauty.

That's all, after all, adopting a foster daughter is a private matter, and no one has the right to interfere with it, but there is definite news that this daughter is going to be sent to the palace.

This means that once the rumors are true, Concubine Tian will have a nominal younger sister in the palace. , the power of Chengqian Palace may gradually overwhelm Kunning Palace, which is absolutely unacceptable after Zhou Hou.

Although the emperor has always respected him very much, and has given Zhu Cihong the title of prince early, if the husband and wife do not see each other for a long time, the relationship between them will inevitably weaken, or even become alienated. Once someone makes trouble in the middle, Maybe it will lead to a series of unimaginable consequences, and it will even be so serious that Zhu Cihong's crown prince status will be shaken.

This is not without precedent.

Isn't this the case for the struggle for the foundation of the country in the Wanli Dynasty?

Emperor Shenzong favored Concubine Zheng, and then bewitched by someone with a heart, wanted to remove Zhu Changluo from the position of crown prince, and make Zhu Changxun, the son of him and Concubine Zheng, the crown prince. Not going to the court, not seeing the courtiers, although Zhu Changluo's crown prince was saved in the end, the feeling of being frightened during this period is really uncomfortable.

What's more, her current husband is not comparable to Emperor Shenzong.

Zhu Youjian, who holds the credit for suppressing thieves, flattening captives, and pacifying the world, is now very strong. Perform better, maybe there will be a bad situation.

"Sister-in-law, sister, I am not jealous, and I have no intention of objecting to the emperor's acceptance of concubines.

Sister, I am an old man now, and the emperor is in his prime, and he needs restraint on female sex, so it is understandable for the woman surnamed Chen to enter the palace.

But, like what I just said, who can guarantee the future?
Many incidents have arisen from scratch, and I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if it really comes to such a situation, how can I deal with my sister?What should Brother Lang do?
Sister, my heart is in a mess right now, after much deliberation, I still want Sister-in-law Huang to give me an idea! "

In the Ciqing Palace where Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan lived, Zhou Hou expressed her worries to the emperor's wife with a sad expression on her face.

When Zhu Youjian was still the king of Xin, Zhang Yan presided over the selection process of the concubine, and it was Zhang Yan who appointed Zhou Yufeng as the concubine of Xin, and became the queen of the world after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne.

From this point of view, Zhang Yan is indeed the noble person that Zhou Hou hits, and she is also one of her spiritual pillars in the harem. Whenever she encounters a problem that is difficult to solve, Zhou Hou will come to Ciqing Palace for help. It has been a long time , Zhang Yan and Zhou Hou are like sisters.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much.

As the saying goes, a better husband is better than a wife.

The two of you have been together for more than ten years, during which time you gave birth to several children for the emperor. The emperor is a man who values ​​love and righteousness, and he is also a wise and heroic king. How could he do unreasonable things.

Tian Guozhang adopted his adoptive daughter and prepared to send her to the palace, all he did was to help Concubine Tian Gui keep his favor. Although this move was a bit of a villain's heart, it was hard to say how big a mistake it was.

People outside the palace probably don't know about our harem, and many people in the world probably think that in the harem of the Ming Dynasty, I will be like those big families in the folk. Do everything possible to invite pets and solid pets.

Don't you know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, including the present emperor, basically acted according to the rules of their ancestors, and there was no such thing as abandoning righteousness because of special favor.

Such a case that Grandpa Shenzong dotes on King Fu is unique in my Huangming Dynasty. With the emperor's wisdom, how could he do such a foolish act! "

After listening to Zhou Hou's wild fantasies, Zhang Yan analyzed and judged the matter from the perspective of a bystander with a smile, and some well-founded remarks also made Zhou Hou feel less depressed .

"The same is true of Tian Guozhang, it is really hateful to do such a thing for no reason!
Sister-in-law, you also know that my sister, as the lord of the harem, I am usually afraid that Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan will be wronged because of injustice, and I have never felt jealous.

Could it be that Concubine Tian said something wrong with me when Tian Guozhang came to visit the palace, which made him think so? "

As Zhou Hou talked, he had new ideas, and his expression changed from worried to a little angry.

Previously, his father was punished by the emperor for some unknown reason, and the two Zhuangzi under his name were also distributed to Tian Hongyu and Yuan Yerang. Taking it out and distributing it to the other two palaces made her feel very uncomfortable. Now thinking that Concubine Tian might gossip behind her back, her worry was replaced by anger.

"Queen, don't worry about this anymore. If you want to sort out this matter, I have a way here!"

　Thanks to the cake robber for the reward.
