I studied in modern times

Chapter 14
Empress Xiang stayed in Qingning Palace until three quarters before she reluctantly left.

Before leaving, Xiang Empress took away the "Longevity Sutra" that Zhao Xu had copied yesterday.

After returning to Kunning Hall, Empress Xiang took the Buddhist scriptures she had brought back and looked through them.

I can still see the sentence at the end: Minister Yan'an County Wang Yong, took medicine for the emperor for a long time, respectfully wrote "Prolonging Life" and prayed for recovery.And I wish the grand mother a long life, the queen mother a thousand years, and the concubine mother a long life!
Looking at this line of correct handwriting, Queen Xiang couldn't help but smile when thinking about the contact with Sixth Brother in the past two days.

"saint……"

Yan Shouqin's voice came from outside the curtain.

Raising his head to Queen Xiang, he watched Yan Shouqin walking in front of her with a happy face, bowed his head and said, "Master, congratulations to the saint!"

Asked the queen: "Where does joy come from?"

"The subject is returning from Taipingfang!" Yan Shouqin's words made Queen Xiang beam with joy.

Even after Queen Xiang entered the palace, she has been living in the deep palace and rarely leaves the palace.

But she still knew that Taipingfang was the place with the most relatives in Bianjing.

Concubine Zhu De's relatives, if not unexpected, should also live in Taipingfang.

Sure enough, Yan Shouqin played happily: "So that the sage will know that I have received true faith from the three families of Zhu, Ren, and Cui..."

Empress Xiang's heart suddenly jumped up, her palms couldn't help but a little sweat, and she asked nervously, "What happened to the three families?"

Yan Shouqin bowed his waist and bowed respectfully: "I know the sages: Zhu, Ren, and Cui all say that the sage's mother honors the world, with the dignity of Xuanlong, and the glory of Zhai, as the emperor's internal helper, his virtuous name spreads far and wide, and benefits the six palaces. If the prince can get the protection and support of the sage, it is really the best!"

Of course Queen Xiang knew that what the three families said was definitely not as nice as what Yan Shouqin said.

But, they agreed!
That's the key!
"Well done!" Xiang Queen praised without hesitation.

She looked at Yan Shouqin and asked, "Yan Diantou, you have been in the palace for over ten years, right?"

Yan Shouqin lowered his head and replied: "The minister was on the same day in the second year of Xining. Thanks to everyone's kindness, he made up the Huangmen!"

In the Song Dynasty, if you want to enter the palace as a minister, you can't enter the palace just by cutting the bottom.

There is a set of strict procedures, but also need to pass the assessment.

In addition, there is one and only chance for the ministers to enter the palace once a year-the Son of Heaven Festival.

Of course Queen Xiang knew this, she calculated in her heart, and said: "So, Yan Diantou must have been in the palace for 17 years!"

"It is indeed time to go out on errands!"

When Yan Shouqin heard the words, he immediately knelt down: "I rely entirely on the grace of the saint!"

After rubbing the Buddhist scriptures in his hand to the queen, he said to Yan Shouqin: "When you go out on a mission to remove the teaching, it is selected by the Ministry of Officials to annotate it. It is inconvenient for my palace to intervene in it. This is the ancestral system..."

"That's it..." Empress Xiang looked at Yan Shouqin: "I will invite the officials, how about adding you the title of 'Bringing Imperial Instruments'?"

"Thank you Saint Long En!" Yan Shouqin was ecstatic.

To the ministers, the title of bringing imperial equipment is like a post in the pavilion of a civil servant.

With and without, the difference is worlds!
Especially when going out, there is a title with an imperial weapon, and many dispatches can use "lifting" instead of "management hook" and "movement".

More importantly, for titles such as carrying imperial equipment, the reasons for entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be written in the report.

This means that when Yan Shouqin's complaint was sent to the Ministry of Officials for the right selection, the secretary knew that Yan Shouqin was the Queen's hand-picked imperial weapon when he saw the complaint.

This queen's close minister!
How dare you neglect the doctor selected on the right?

If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, you will arrange a generous fat job with him no matter what.

Activities, maybe you can stay in Beijing.

There has always been a tradition of promotion by internal ministers in Bianjing's various field affairs, east and west dyeing courtyards, silk brocade courtyards, and water mill affairs.

Watching Yan Shouqin leave with gratitude, Xiang Huang slowly closed his eyes.

Until then, behind the curtain, the woman who had been standing there came to Queen Xiang and gently massaged her temples.

It was Queen Xiang who brought Queen Xiang into the palace from Xiang's family and took care of her from childhood, Zhang, Shangshu of Kunning Palace.

"Saint..." Mrs. Zhang said softly, "Nu Fang was outside Kunning Palace, met An Ren to protect his wife, and the four kings asked him to bring you a message..."

"Yes, the four kings said: There may be rumors in the palace recently, please don't worry about the queen! Such rumors are absolutely unbelievable!"

Listening to Queen Xiang, he naturally understood what the four kings were talking about.She nodded slowly, and praised: "Four Great Kings, they are really worthy kings!"

However, Queen Xiang understood in her heart.

The four kings were not so much loyal to their brothers as they were virtuous to the country.

Rather, he also saw dangerous seedlings and smelled gunpowder smoke.

This is self-preservation!
Back then, after the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle, Taizong ascended the throne, what happened to King Fu Mourning?
What kind of treatment are the descendants of King Fu Mourning in the Taizong Dynasty?
People who have read the history of the country know clearly and clearly in their hearts.

What a coincidence, today is also a pattern of one emperor and two kings, and what is even more unfortunate is that King Fu Mourning is also ranked fourth!
Taking history as a guide to the present, if the four kings are not afraid, they will be called ghosts.

For the four kings, it is important to ensure that the sixth brother ascends the throne smoothly and grows up healthily.

It is equivalent to saving one's own life, and also preserving the wealth of descendants.

He sighed softly to the queen.

I remembered the conversation I had with Empress Dowager Gao at the threshold of the side hall this morning.

I also remembered that in Qingning Palace, Empress Dowager Gao didn't answer her words.

Inner anxiety is spreading.

"For Sixth Brother, and for myself..." Xiang Empress said inwardly, "But we have to plan ahead!"

Even the Four Great Kings specially asked the emperor to nurse Mrs. Anren Baoyou to send a message to him privately through Mrs. Zhang.

That meant he must have known something, or seen something moving.

Considering that Zhang Mao said yesterday that the Four Great Kings have not visited Sheng Gong for two or three days.

Avoiding suspicion has been avoided like this.

But the second great king, is going in and out of the palace, as if there is no one there!

Have to guard against it!
Also have to guard against!
What if in the middle of the night one day, a piece of paper suddenly falls from the forbidden...

Empress Xiang couldn't help feeling chills all over her body!

Thinking of this, Empress Xiang made up her mind, and said to the Shangshu Zhang Shi who has been serving her all the time: "Zhang Shanggong, tomorrow I will leave the palace for my palace, go to Xuanpingfang, and pass on my palace's edict to get one with that stone..."

"Let's just say: the official's family occasionally has a minor ailment, and everyone knows that they have become slack. Is this the behavior of a loyal minister? Let him quickly enter the palace and serve in front of the imperial court!"

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "If I am a concubine, I will know if I don't see Shi..."

Shi Deyi hasn't entered the palace for almost ten days.

Why doesn't Mrs. Zhang know that there is a serious evil in it?

Hearing the words to Queen Xiang, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Mrs. Zhang: "Don't worry, no one will have that courage!"

"If there is such a person..." Putting his palms together to the queen, he recited a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the heavens have fallen to sin!"

Serving Welling, stealing authority!
This is an evaluation of the harem and eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty on top of the history.

In the Great Song Dynasty, no matter who violated this rule, it was tantamount to condemning the whole world.
