Qingchuan History

Chapter 606 Pregnancy in the Cemetery
The incense class in Jidu city lasted for several days, and those who had learned four or five points felt the essence, and began to pass it on from hand to hand, teaching the people who had not yet entered the teahouse the skills of making incense.

It was a bit sneaky at first, but unexpectedly, the higher-ups encouraged them, and even set up a few other places to screen out those who are really good at craftsmanship as lecturers, and thus spread the lecture hall.

By the middle of May, the excitement of making incense in the city of Ji was known to most of Qi State, and nearby cities and counties also came to learn Buddhist scriptures, from officials to businessmen and even the people.

As a result, the topic of setting up incense classes and opening lectures has been discussed in the court. Chai Yinuo used the example of his own sister who never failed in class to describe the beauty of incense classes, and said that such lectures can really be used as a place for girls to teach——

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and tea art embroidery have always been skills that have only been mastered by rich ladies. It is also a blessing for the common people to let the daughters of ordinary people get a little bit of it.

In addition to the expansion of the territory of Daqi, Qixi New District has its own set of governance methods. The little girls have begun to learn simple medicine skills, and Qizhong and Qidong should also keep up.

It's the last paragraph that really works.

For the courtiers, it is not a matter for courtiers if women do not learn fragrance and are not good at women's skills; meaning.

At that time, the initial discussion of setting up women's lecture halls in the whole country was finalized, and it was tried out before Jidu and surrounding cities and counties.The lecturers are selected from the proud students in Mrs. Pei's teahouse in Jidu City. Those who are good at other skills, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can sign up and recommend themselves as teachers.

After all, it is a matter of people's livelihood, and it may not last long. It has been discussed and implemented, and no one will make more fuss.

And the royal ceremony on May 25 was as scheduled, following this wave of hustle and bustle, spreading out in a mighty way.

Originally, the royal family was appointed to perform sacrifices in the Palace of Shuming, and only the clan participated. After careful planning by the Taishi Department and the Ministry of Rites, it was finally changed to the Hall of Shuming. Muling Memorial Mausoleum.

The tablets of emperors and empresses of each dynasty are actually enshrined in Fengxian Hall, so in the past when Gu Xinglang brought Ruan Xueyin into the Jizhao Pavilion and punished himself by kneeling, they were all in Fengxian Hall. 【1】

Shuming Hall is more like a place in the palace specially prepared for sacrifices. For example, on the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, the Taizi Festival is held here every year.

Therefore, offering a memorial tablet in the Shuming Temple is already a ritual process——

The monarch invited the shrines of Dingzong, Empress Hui, and Prince Zhanfeng from Fengxiantang, and then led the clan to kneel down and meditate.

It stands to reason that Gu Xinglei's tablet cannot be enshrined in Fengxian Hall, because he is not a monarch, so it is against the rules.

It was a decision made by Gu Xinglang after he ascended the throne, and it was an exception.

At three o'clock on May 25th, the ritual ceremony of Shuming Hall begins.All the clansmen had arrived, and the entire palace was full of rituals and music before dawn.

When entering Si, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty waited outside the palace gate, and the emperor's chariot came out, and the chariots and horses headed for Muling.

After arriving at the cemetery for more than half a day, according to the rules, the monarch and his ministers dismounted in different sections.Gu Xinglang passed the gate of the mausoleum and stood in front of the Ming Tower; the royal family and ministers were divided into two wings and stood in front of the gate of the mausoleum.

The monarch kneels three times and kowtows nine times. After the ceremony, he retreats to the east side. After the table and the wine cups are set, he returns to kneel on the mat and offers wine to three nobles, one for each, and one bow for each.

At the same time, princes and ministers kowtowed to the emperor in front of the mausoleum, and there must be a definite time for salutation and mourning.There are two wives standing in front of the kings, Ji Wanling is on the right, and Ruan Xueyin is on the left. It is obvious that the tradition of "right is the top" indicates the status.

The situation is the opposite.

And Gu Xinglang inside the mausoleum gate was in his prime, and there was no middle palace to accompany him during the sacrificial ceremony, and there were only two wives, and he had no children under his knees, which did not match Da Qi's prosperous atmosphere at all.

All the ministers lowered their eyes to think about this picture, and became worried again, so that the officials of the Taishi Division were reciting the eulogy aloud——

Gu Xinglang's handwriting, written in mourning for his father and brother, is clear and moving, and the writing is brilliant, but the more the veterans listened to it, the more worried they became, they were almost in tears, and deeply felt that they were ashamed of their predecessors by allowing the young lord to act recklessly.

Just when the sacrificial ceremony was over, the sun was setting, and the monarchs and ministers were about to leave the cemetery one by one, Yan Jun, a veteran of the two dynasties who was born in Xiuzhuan and is now the chief of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said sadly:
"It's been the eighth year since the king inherited the great rule. Daqi's territory has grown wider and its national strength has grown day by day, which is the result of the king's long-cherished prosperity. However, the fly in the ointment is that the Chengze Palace has no owner so far, and the old ministers come to hold candles at night, and it is difficult to turn around Sleeping, I only feel that I have a negative entrustment. In the future, I will be the next king, and I will have no place to be ashamed. My lord, "

Yan Jun is nearly sixty years old and will be old next year. He has always been respected by the government and the public.In this way, Ti Sufu knelt down and wept loudly:
"My lord, please establish the position of the middle palace as soon as possible, extend the descendants, and hold my Daqi incense."

The meaning of Dingzhong Palace is not limited to Lihou.

If someone has the power in the back court, the queen can also be in charge of choosing beauties for the emperor, filling the harem, and truly blooming.

It was quiet at dusk, and only crows and birds were singing occasionally near the cemetery.The ministers on the two wings gradually sip in the middle of their work, which is silently seconded, and it flows into the late spring evening wind, which is very mournful.

"What Yan Qing said won my heart deeply." Gu Xinglang said for a while, his voice was especially clear because he was in a high place, "I have always thought about the question of the middle palace, and all the ministers have given consideration to their advice. .It will be discussed again and again, and it may be decided someday.”

As soon as this remark came out, the whole cemetery was shocked, and even the air around the Three Kings was a little stagnant, because of the implication, it was clear that they were [-]% determined.

And according to the current situation, it is very likely that——

"I think," another person came out, and it was the admonishing doctor Du Sheng who was the first person Ruan Xueyin dealt with during the Mingluan Palace debate last year, "Mrs. Second choice."

Among the ministers, there are many who agree.

Ji Huan stands on the right, the head of all the ministers, as usual, he is not attached, and his appearance is restrained.

Ji Wanling lowered her eyes and leaned towards Gu Xinglang, "Lord Du loves me, I'm ashamed to be a concubine."

"If Mrs. Yu can't be Mrs. Yu, no one in the back court of the Qi Kingdom can be." Another familiar voice sounded, Yushi Cheng Xiao Zihuai, the second person in the Mingluan Palace debate, "Mrs. Pei is good at medicine and government affairs, in Ning'an Assisting the courtiers to manage the new area has made a lot of achievements, and now they have set up lecture halls and teach women's classes. In terms of talents and virtues, they are indeed outstanding. However, "

All the good things have been said, and there is no single meritorious service.

So the next "ran" is pertinent and fair.

"Since I come to the position of the middle palace, I have to pay attention to talents, virtues, conduct, and family background. There are so many things to consider." It has been very merciless, and the blood and family background that cannot be said are covered by a sentence of family background. , "Under the power of the prime minister, the minister also thinks that Mrs. Yu is more in line with the righteousness of the middle palace."

After Chunyue and Chunfeng stood side by side with the Three Kings and Gu Xingmo, they all subconsciously looked at Gu Xinglang with different emotions.

"Last Sui Mingluan Palace debate," Du Shengfu said, "Although Mrs. Pei was suspected of being framed, the case was dropped due to lack of evidence. In the end, "

He has a good reputation for direct remonstrance, and it is not uncommon for him to talk too much and be heavy.

"I have been favored for a long time, but I have nothing to show so far. The virtue of the future concubine is also lost."

Regarding Ruan Xueyin's birth of children, Qi Chen's mentality is actually complicated.Just like the conversation between Gu Chunyue and Ruan Xueyin in the West Garden that day, whether there was or not was worrying.

Then we can only solve the current difficulties first, clarify the sins that have nothing to do, and at least keep the middle palace.And nothing came out, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the battle of Mingluan Palace is also worth deliberating.

The cemetery returned to silence.Having said that, adding fuel to the flames is to push each other too far, and it will be detrimental to fusion if the trouble is too big.

Gu Xinglang was about to speak.

Ruan Xueyin stepped forward half a step, and lightly said, "Your Majesty,"

Gu Xinglang looked at her.

This question is difficult to argue, and it is a dead end, unless.

"The concubine may be pregnant, but I'm not sure, so I haven't reported it."
