Chapter 483

Then, if the emperor wants to establish a queen, the candidate is not necessarily the concubine Bai who is in charge of the six palaces, but may be someone else.

Who will this person be?
The courtiers were really troubled thinking about this matter.

Few people think about King Qi's biological mother, Cui Chongyuan, because she is really not favored by the emperor, and she is too inconspicuous among the concubines in the harem.

But someone had a slanted sword and thought of Cui Chongyuan.This man is a Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites. His surname is Cui and his name is Shizhong. I don’t know if it’s because he has the same surname as Cui Chongyuan, or because he deliberately flattered Shangshu Lin Feng. Cui Chongyuan, who had never dealt with her at all, boasted that she was a concubine with a dignified nature and a deep sense of righteousness, which is quite rare throughout the ages, and suggested to the emperor to make Cui Chongyuan the queen.

The day after Cui Langzhong wrote this memorial, he was promoted by the emperor to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites.In the official system of this dynasty, the doctor is the fifth rank, and the servant is the third rank. This Mr. Cui Shizhong has been promoted several ranks just because he wrote a memorial correctly, and he is actually an important member of a department.

With this example, many winking officials followed suit asking for Cui Chongyuan to be made queen. Among the officials who wrote the letter early, several of them also received generous rewards from the emperor.The emperor's mind has been clearly revealed.

Only then did the courtiers realize that the emperor's favorite candidate for empress was not Concubine Bai who was in charge of the Six Palaces, but Cui Chongyuan, who had been unknown all along, and they couldn't help sighing.Who would have thought?Cui Chongyuan, who has no family background, gave birth to the emperor's eldest son by luck, and has not been favored for more than 20 years, is the concubine who made the emperor finally let go of his mouth and agree to establish a successor.

There were more courtiers who invited Cui Chongyuan to be queen in Shangshu.

The emperor called a group of ministers to discuss this matter.A group of people headed by Shen Xiang opposed it, and the reason was very grand: Cui Chongyuan came from a humble background, and had been recovering from illness for many years, so he did not have any credit.The queen has a high status, and she wants to worship the heaven and the earth with the emperor, and only inherit the ancestral temple. How can she do it if her health is not good?If she is not in good health, she cannot be respectful and filial to Weng Gu. Such a concubine is in the middle palace and cannot be convincing.

This reason is actually very good, and it is not easy to refute.But Cui Shizhong stepped forward amidst the opposition, and said a word sonorously, "Cui Chongyuan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor for His Majesty, and this is her great contribution!"

Chen Qiang, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, is a member of Prime Minister Shen. Dang even retorted excitedly: "If you say that it is a great contribution to have a prince, then your Majesty has fourteen princes in total, each with a mother and concubine. Isn't it fourteen?" Are all concubines the same? Is it possible that they can become queens?"

Cui Shizhong's voice became louder and louder, "Chen Shilang's words are wrong! Cui Chongyuan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. How can the princes born to other concubines be compared with the eldest son of the emperor?"

Chen Shilang's face turned gray.

Not only Chen Shilang, but even Shen et al.'s complexion is also not good-looking.

All the princes are descended from concubines, so they can't be considered concubines.However, regardless of the concubine's concubine, you can also talk about the elder and younger.When it comes to the order of seniority, the most honorable among the princes is of course the eldest son, His Royal Highness King Qi.

Fortunately, there have always been the sayings of "establishing a son" and "establishing a virtuous" in the sky. If "establishing a son", then it means that there is a son, and there is no son. If there is no son, it is difficult to say.In the case of Lixian, the elders and children must be put aside, who the emperor wants to establish and who the courtiers support are the most important.

Someone raised the question of "establishing a descendant" or "establishing a virtuous", and the debate among courtiers became more intense.

This debate lasted for three days, and the courtiers who were usually gentle and prudent were spit all over the place, talking back and forth, arguing red-faced, and no one convinced anyone.

The previous dynasty was still debating endlessly, but there was a disturbance in the harem because of this incident.All of a sudden, the Qinglan Hall where Cui Chongyuan lived was originally empty and deserted, but now it has become a very popular place, and there are quite a lot of people vying to make friends.

Originally, Cui Chongyuan and the Eighth Princess Acong lived in the Qinglan Palace. Now that Acong was married and went out of the palace to build another princess mansion, there were only Cui Chongyuan and five or six personal servants and eunuchs left in the Qinglan Palace.Cui Chongyuan's servants here are not enough, if there are too many visitors, even tea can't be served, the concubines will see it, and they can't tell what it feels like, envy, jealousy, or look down on it, it's too hard to say.

On Cui Chongyuan's dull face, there was a trace of brilliance.

She never thought that one day she might become a queen, the queen of the world...

Not only the concubines came to the Qinglan Hall frequently, but even the emperor who hadn't been to the harem for a long time also came.

When Cui Chongyuan heard the maid report "the emperor is here", she immediately panicked, "Is the emperor here? Is the emperor really here?" Stretching out her hand to cover her head, she asked repeatedly, "Is my hair messy? Is the hair on my face messy?" Is the makeup thick or light? Does it look good?" She was in a hurry when the emperor came in accompanied by Pang Dexin and other servants, and said softly: "Your makeup doesn't matter, I never care."

Cui Chongyuan knelt down to receive him, shedding tears silently.

If people who don’t know the details listen to it, they may think that the emperor was talking about love just now, saying that no matter what Cui Chongyuan’s appearance is, the emperor will not take it to heart. .But Cui Chongyuan knew in her heart that the emperor didn't have her in his heart and eyes, and it made no difference to him whether her hair was messy or her makeup was neat or not.For a woman he doesn't love, the emperor wouldn't even take a second look. How could he care if she looked good or not?
The emperor ordered everyone to withdraw, leaving only Cui Chongyuan.

"I have decided to canonize Yaoling as the crown prince and posthumously make her the empress." The emperor said briefly.

Cui Chongyuan laughed desperately and sadly. She looked up at the emperor with a star in her eyes, "Then, Your Majesty, I can die now, right?"

"Cui Chongyuan is no longer needed in the palace." The emperor's voice was slow and clear.
