Kaiyuan Merry

121. Concubine Wu Hui

() After the edict took effect, it was transferred to Shangshu Province by Menxia Province.

On the surface, the function of the Shangshu Province seems to be very simple, that is, execution. However, in fact, the Shangshu Province is the department with the largest business volume and the busiest work among the three administrative provinces.It is precisely because of this that Shangshu Province has the most institutions, with six departments and 24 divisions (each department has four divisions), and the largest number of personnel.

The head of Shangshu Province—Shangshu Ling—was originally the highest rank among all officials in the six provinces, one station, nine temples and five prisons, the second rank.However, because Li Shimin had done this job before he became emperor.

Therefore, after ascending the throne, this position is vacant.In fact, it is the left and right servants of Cong Erpin who preside over the work of Shangshu Province.But by this time, the left and right servants of the Shangshu have long since become empty positions, and even the six ministers (the third grade) have become empty positions, and they do not preside over the work of the six departments. The servant who works in the sixth part is the minister (under the fourth grade).

According to the content of the imperial edict, the Minister of Shangshu distributed it to six subordinate departments, namely the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War.After the ministries received the edict, they had to deal with it differently according to the specific situation: some edicts did not need to be changed, and they were sent directly to the ministries of central and yang and local prefectures and counties; Relevant departments and local states and counties.

Therefore, roughly speaking, Shangshu Province is actually an administrative organization in a narrow sense.Although it is difficult to make an order, it is actually more difficult to execute the order, because many practical difficulties will be encountered in the process of execution, so it is a relatively hard job to work in Shangshu Province.

This is the process by which the entire imperial decree takes effect and is carried out, but later, the prime ministers in the political affairs hall can directly bypass the emperor and post the hall post, but it is impossible to let such a powerful emperor Li Longji reign. things happen.

In the final analysis, although the power of the prime minister can limit the power of the monarch, it is the emperor who controls the entire country.

It was too late when Li Longji got the papers of all the tributes. He went to Penglai Palace to spend the night according to his preference. This is the place where his favorite concubine Wu Huifei lives. (Concubine Wu Hui was named Concubine Hui at the latest in the tenth year of Kaiyuan, and now it is only the sixth year of Kaiyuan. It may still be Jieyu, but it is also possible that she has already been named Concubine Hui, because Li Longji loved the Wu family very much after he ascended the throne)

Concubine Wu Hui is only twenty this year, her appearance is truly unparalleled, her eyebrows are like emerald feathers, her skin is like white snow, her skin is creamy, her muscles are soft like jade, her posture is glamorous, and there is a pair of slender jade hands in her fragrant green sleeves, which are always warm and can be To comfort Li Longji's daily troubles, her hair is black, bright, thick, and slender, and her hair is open, like a black waterfall, soft and beautiful.

But the most attractive thing about her is her full moon-like cheeks, which are white, plump, rich and energetic. When she smiles, she naturally reveals two cute dimples. Her eyes are so clear, making people feel so pure .

Although Concubine Wu Hui was so young, she had already given birth to four children, but three of them died. The birthday king Li Mao, who was born not long ago, was afraid that the child would die, so Li Longji ordered his brother Ning Wang Li Xian to adopt Li Mao, and then Concubine Ning Yuan Shi personally fed the rut.

Li Longji always liked this girl who looked very simple, because of her "simpleness", Li Longji trusted Concubine Wu Hui very much.

But Concubine Wu Hui is not a simple woman, or in other words, after living in this harem for so long, no matter how simple a woman is, she will become full of power.

Concubine Wu Hui felt that the price she paid for her transition from innocence to maturity was her three beautiful children who died young. Although the imperial doctors diagnosed that they all died of natural causes, Concubine Wu Hui felt that there must be something shady about it.

When she became Li Longji's concubine, she was already extremely favored, which made the concubines headed by the queen very jealous, such as Zhao Lifei, Huangfu Deyi and Liu Cairen who were favored before. The birth mother of Li Ju, King of Light.

Concubine Wu Hui thought that she gave birth to those three children who were extremely loved by Li Longji, which made those concubines feel a great threat, so she took the risk and killed her children.

This kind of darkness in Gongdou was not absent before. Concubine Wu Hui, who originally lost one child, may not have realized it. It was not until she died two more in a row that she realized the trickiness of it. Naturally, he begged Li Longji to be raised outside the palace. Sure enough, everything is going well for King Shou now...

This made Concubine Wu Hui more and more convinced that she had been persecuted by those concubines, but she, who was always good at forbearance, maintained a "simple" appearance from beginning to end. She believed that her current strength was not enough. To the extent that he is the only favorite, he still has a fancy to the queen.

After all, Empress Wang and Li Longji have shared hardships and made great efforts in the process of Li Longji's ascension to the throne, but it is a pity that she has no children under her knees, otherwise Li Longji will definitely value her more.

Still need to be patient...

Seeing Li Longji coming to her place to spend the night again, Concubine Wu Hui smiled sweetly, like the most intimate padded jacket, she personally served Li Longji, and the pure to extreme love she showed made Li Longji feel very ironic.

After Li Longji decided to read the papers of these tributes, he rewarded this caring concubine well.

Naturally, Wang Wei’s paper is unnecessary. I have read it in Zichen Palace just now. Whether it is literary talent or content, it is first-class. The slight flaw is that some suggestions are a bit whimsical, but this is normal, young people , always like fantasy.

Li Longji felt that among these tribute papers, not to mention all of them were comparable to Wang Wei, there should be at least two or three, because Wang Wei was too young, so he didn't want Wang Wei to be the number one scholar. Li Longji suppressed Wang Wei, but a kind of protection.

Concubine Wu Hui quietly accompanied Li Longji, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at the paper. After all, she was also the daughter of Hengan Wang Wu Youzhi. She grew up in the palace and received a good education. Naturally, there is no problem with literacy, and he is also proficient in poetry and songs.

Concubine Wu Hui soon found out that this was the test paper for this year's palace examination. She was not interested in it, but was just curious about who would be most appreciated by Li Longji.

At the beginning, Li Longji carefully looked at the examination papers of the tribute scholars, but turned them faster and faster at the end, and the look on his face was also ugly. Sure enough, there is a gap between people, the more the comparison, the bigger the gap big.

He originally thought that he had overestimated Wang Wei's excellence, but when he compared Wang Wei's examination papers with those nonsense examination papers, he realized that Wang Wei was really that outstanding, and the rest of the tributes were all idiots. , compared with Wang Wei, it is absolutely mediocre.

Seeing Li Longji's ugly face, Concubine Wu Hui couldn't help but asked with concern: "Li Lang, what's wrong with you?"

Li Longji smiled softly at her, pushed the paper to the side, but truthfully expressed his dissatisfaction, and the appreciation for Wang Wei in his words made Concubine Wu Hui remember it in her heart.

Concubine Wu Hui didn't know much about Wang Wei, because she was not the kind of woman who was particularly interested in poetry, but several of her court ladies were more interested in poetry, and they often talked about Wang Wei in her ear, which made her very interested in Wang Wei. Wei also heard a little bit about it and knew that this young poet came from a famous Wang family in Taiyuan.

Thinking that the Queen Wang who hated her very much could now be regarded as from the Taiyuan Wang family, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, fearing that Wang Wei would have a close relationship with that Queen Wang. According to Li Longji's opinion of Wang Wei, if Wang Wei Wouldn't it be detrimental for her to have a prosperous career as an official and have a close relationship with the queen?

Concubine Wu Hui has now transformed from a simple woman into a "Gong Dou Nv" with a strong heart, and obviously knows how to consolidate her position in the harem.

The first point is naturally to make yourself the emperor's favorite woman, which is the most basic and most important point; the second point is to give birth to a man and a half woman, and the mother is more expensive than a child; and the third point is naturally to make friends secretly Minister, this is a taboo point, but if it succeeds, it will be very helpful to consolidate your position.

Because even if the emperor himself wants to abolish the empress, it is not something he can decide for himself. It needs the consent of the ministers. Although Concubine Wu Hui does not dare to have any thoughts about the position of empress, she is naturally longing for it in her heart. If he became the master of the harem, would Xiaoxiao dare to disobey her?Even if there is, she can use her status as the main palace to forcefully suppress it.

Concubine Wu Hui, as always, comforted Li Longji with gentle words, which made Li Longji, the emperor who loves women very much, very satisfied. Inadvertently, Concubine Wu Hui mentioned the relationship between Wang Wei and Queen Wang unintentionally.

Li Longji didn't think much about it. After he felt that Wang Wei was a talent, he carefully read Wang Wei's family history, and he also got a general understanding of the conflict between Wang Wei's house, the East Wang family, and his queen's house.

In this matter, Li Longji is actually quite dissatisfied with the queen. Although the influence of the so-called "five surnames and seven sects" is not as good as that of the early Tang Dynasty, its reputation is still there. It is an honor to be born in a famous family. Li Longji can understand the thoughts of Wang Renjiao, the father of the queen. People with humble backgrounds always hope that they are born in a wealthy family. This is a matter of face.

However, Queen Wang's relationship with this Taiyuan Wang family is obviously to expand the momentum for the Taiyuan Wang family. Li Longji does not have much affection for the famous family, thinking that it affects the supremacy of the imperial power.

What he appreciates about Wang Wei is that although Wang Wei comes from the Taiyuan Wang family, he has actually fallen out with the Taiyuan Wang family. For such a person, if he promoted him himself, he would be most grateful to himself, not his family. .

Li Longji casually talked about the relationship between Wang Wei and Queen Wang. Concubine Wu Hui's eyes lit up after hearing this. Originally, she thought that Wang Wei had a close relationship with Queen Wang, but she didn't expect to be an enemy.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.
