Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 261
Hearing Mr. Jiang say this, the smile on Su Zhiyuan's face deepened. He looked at Mr. Jiang and asked him, "I don't know why Mr. Jiang thinks so?"

"Master Su must know that today Chen Zhaoyi invited the wives of all the adults to enjoy the flowers in the palace. I said it all over again, presumably Mr. Su also heard Mrs. Su's words, right?"

The reason why I came to Su Zhiyuan was because Chen Zhaoyi organized the flower viewing banquet today. In the eyes of these adults, Su Zhiyuan was Chen Zhaoyi's father. Since Chen Zhaoyi organized the flower viewing banquet, then Su Zhiyuan must know about this matter.

"My wife did tell me something, what do you adults think?" Su Zhiyuan asked, looking past the faces of all the adults.

"We all feel that this is what the emperor wants to convey to us through Chen Zhaoyi's mouth. Although there are queens and concubines in the harem, I don't need to tell you about the Xiao family and the Shen family. Everyone knows. "

"In the current court, the person the emperor can trust is Lord Su. Lord Su's daughter is the emperor's favorite concubine, and his son is the pillar of the country. The officials heard that just a few days ago, the emperor deliberately It is said that General Su entered the palace, if Mr. Su knows anything, please tell us."

The ministers who came to see Su Zhiyuan were all supporters of Emperor Jing, but most of the good official positions in the court were occupied by the Xiao family, so their official positions were not high.

Although they are quiet, if they speak together, it will still play a certain role.

Hearing what Lord Jiang said, Su Zhiyuan nodded. He looked at all the adults, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My lords guessed well, the emperor has indeed some plans recently, but everyone is concerned about the situation in the court. You know, the emperor had no choice but to let Chen Zhaoyi use such a method."

As soon as Su Zhiyuan opened his mouth, everyone's eyes immediately fell on him. Su Zhiyuan didn't hide anything, and told the ministers everything he knew.

The reason why he said all of this is because Su Zhiyuan knows that these ministers are indeed loyal to the emperor. Only by letting them know the emperor's plan can they stand by the emperor's side when the emperor mentions it, and stand for the emperor. say.

After listening to Su Zhiyuan's words, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. It took a long time before they came back to their senses, and they all began to praise the new system that Emperor Jing wanted to implement.

"The new system that the emperor wants to implement is really wonderful, but if I really want to implement it, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Mr. Jiang said, and now he finally understands why the emperor uses this method to let them know this matter.

If before that, without their knowledge, the emperor said it in the court, I'm afraid it would be rejected immediately.

Although they knew it, it wouldn't do much, but anyway, it was better than telling them when they didn't know anything.

"Anyway, we will all support the emperor. I heard that Chen Zhaoyi's presence at the flower viewing banquet today can be described as a combination of kindness and majesty. Maybe when the emperor mentions this matter, some adults will be scrupulous."

This time, it was Mr. Sun who spoke. His wife even talked to Su Qingyan at the flower viewing banquet today.

"Master Sun is right. Let's wait and see what happens. Anyway, we all know it now. When the emperor mentions it, we will be able to deal with it better." After Master Sun finished speaking, some people immediately agreed.

After several adults discussed with Su Zhiyuan carefully, they left the Su residence.

At the same time Master Jiang led the rest of the adults to the Su Mansion, many ministers from the court and the central government also came to the Xiao Mansion.

"It seems that Chen Zhaoyi's words scare some adults." Seeing the people coming from the main hall, Xiao Peng showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Prime Minister, why should you care? It doesn't matter if those people don't come, anyway, they are useless in the court." Seeing that Xiao Peng seemed a little angry, someone immediately said flatteringly.

"I've heard about today's events. The harem is not allowed to engage in politics. I didn't expect Chen Zhaoyi to dare to stretch his hand into the front court!" He snorted coldly, Xiao Peng didn't care much about the lack of a few people, Thinking of the loss his daughter suffered in the palace, Xiao Peng's eyes flashed cruelty.

"Your Prime Minister is right. As a woman, you should stay in the harem safely, but just being favored by the emperor a few times, you don't know how big it is!" Just as Xiao Peng finished speaking, the person who spoke before hurriedly echoed again. .

"When we go to court tomorrow, let's directly submit a booklet, and refer to Su Zhiyuan's book." Another official said to Xiao Peng.

"In my opinion, the Su family doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp. It's best to use this opportunity to get rid of them." In the court, many people envy the Su family for having a good son. In their hearts, I have always wanted to find a chance to deal with the Su family.

"Since you all said so, let's write the booklet tomorrow." After the audience finished speaking, Xiao Peng spoke up. He would not do it himself to get rid of such things as the Su family.

With Xiao Peng's permission, all the adults immediately began to discuss how to get the best results tomorrow.

Listening to everyone's discussion, a cold light flashed in Xiao Peng's eyes. After Chen Zhaoyi was dealt with, the next one was to deal with the one on the dragon chair. If he dared to slap him in the face, he would never let the emperor feel better!

…………

"Father, what should we do now?" Some of the officials in the court went to Su Zhiyuan's house, some went to Xiao Peng's house, and some of them stayed in their own homes.

The Xiao family did not go to the flower viewing feast in the palace, but the Shen family sent someone there. Although they are relatives of Concubine Rong, after all, the invitations have all come down. If you don't go, it will be a bit bad .

However, it was not Shen Chengzhong's wife who went to the Shen family, but one of his concubines.

Even so, it can be regarded as giving Su Qing face. After all, the concubine's status is better than that of the concubine. If the wife of the wife is not there, the concubine can be helped. Anyway, it is better than no one in the Xiao family. better.

After the concubine came back, she told Shen Chengzhong exactly what she saw and heard. After listening, he immediately called his sons to the study.

Shen Hao was not at home, so he didn't come. Although Shen Chengzhong had no choice but to go with his second son, he discussed with his eldest son and third son how to deal with the current situation.

Obviously, the emperor is relying on Chen Zhaoyi to convey some things, but, as the Shen family, it is impossible to stand with the Xiao family, nor with the Su family.

After being silent for a while, Shen Chengzhong finally said, "Otherwise, just wait and see what happens. The emperor will give such an order, so there must be his intentions. Let's keep an eye on it. If the emperor mentions it, we will decide according to the situation." .”

　It is estimated that many people don’t know what concubines are. Generally, they are women who marry into their husband’s family with their main wife. The higher-level ones are sisters who marry together. The middle-level ones are accompanied by a higher-status woman. Women from one or several clans marry together, and the lowest standard is maid dowry.The former who married in this way is a wife, and the latter is a concubine.The status of a concubine is much higher than that of a concubine. She has a formal status and can attend formal banquets and so on.Such a system was very popular among nobles from the Warring States Period to the Three Kingdoms period. For example, Sun Quan's mother married her father Sun Jian together with her younger sister.From a political point of view, this system maximizes the interests of the married woman.If the woman who is the main wife dies or has no children, then the concubine will take her place. The close relationship between the concubine and the "natal family" can still guarantee the interests of the "natal family". [Explanation from Baidu], if you have read the biography of Miyue, Miyue in it is a concubine.
