Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 5

Qin Changge, the junior junior sister of Qianjuemen, left the teacher's school a day earlier, and was ordered to travel the rivers and lakes, looking for the master of the world for the common people struggling in the troubled times.

According to the teacher's guidance, she only walked westward. One day, when she passed by the gate of Huainan Wangfu, the king of the idle county, she stopped and smiled.

He stared deeply at the young man who was kicked out of the house and ridiculed by his brothers because of his love of learning martial arts, and was shocked by the blazing soaring Huaguang in his eyes.

That young man was carrying a sword in the street, facing the vermilion lacquer gate that his brothers had closed heavily in front of him, he was angry but not sad, he just stepped forward boldly and swiped two sabers!

Cleave the main entrance, two deep gaps, like a huge black hole opened, laughing at the world's blindness.

The boy's black hair was flying in the wind, and he shouted loudly:

"You guys are not worthy to drive me out. It was I who broke the door and came out today. One day, I want you to open the middle door and face down on the ground, kneeling to welcome me!"

There was laughter from behind the courtyard door.

The young man stood on the deserted long street, although his gaze was firm, but his shoulders were already bearing the desolation of his whole body.

After all, he was still young, and no one could understand his ambitions. Independence Street was lonely, and it was inevitable that he would be depressed in the end. Therefore, the rustling autumn wind lightly stained his brows with frost.

But there was a woman chuckling behind him.

"You're too unambitious."

He suddenly turned around.

"Just open the middle door and kneel down to welcome? Why don't you want them to knock every step and come from thousands of miles away?"

His gaze suddenly ignited, and two blazing wildfires lit up in the autumn wind.

Hearing her lazily smile.

"I will help you."

Obviously her expression is so lazy, her smile is so sly, her figure is so thin, and her speech is so vague.

However, he was inexplicably relieved.

Like a child, when he stumbled and fell when he was learning to walk, he was helped up by the person behind him and gave him a reassuring smile.

He smiles too, bright as fire.

That promise, that first meeting on the long street, the boy and the girl, one has a future that is still vague, and the other has already outlined the picture of chasing the deer in his heart.

After that, the ups and downs of fighting and bloody battles were successful, and in the blink of an eye, the years have changed, the crown has been crowned, and the battlefield has changed.

Silent, but murderous, beautiful, but sharp teeth.

The days when the tongue is the knife and the lips are the sword, so tiresome...

The yellow sand was stained with blood, the sword energy soared to the clouds, and the pleasure of writing poems horizontally, but it was more sinister, vicious, and bloody and invisible than the white knife going in and the red knife coming out.

Qin Changge smiled slightly, and recalled the flash of memory in an instant.

It doesn't matter, bento games are also good.

She smiled more gently than Concubine Zhang Shu.

"My sister's words sound strange... It's just a word of advice, but ordinary words, why do you think that His Majesty will be angry because of this?...Are you implying that our valiant Majesty is a person who is easy to say for others? A judge of right and wrong...Yongjun?"

The last two words were held between her teeth, and she spit out softly in an inaudible manner, but Concubine Shu immediately turned pale.

The last two words were held between her teeth, and she spit out softly in an inaudible manner, but Concubine Shu immediately turned pale.

Qin Changge ignored her, and just smiled and said: "Let's get back to the topic. A few days ago, the Palace Affairs Office submitted a detailed list of rewards for the Lantern Festival, and showed me the seal. I'm probably confused. I forgot for a moment the grades of the prince and princess's harem drawn up by His Majesty after he ascended the throne... oops... I am Xiliang, what grade is the eldest princess?"

A beauty surnamed Yang in the seat immediately sneered and said: "The imperial concubine is a noble person who forgets things too much, eldest princess, first-rank seal."

She said these words, she still didn't realize it, but someone in the seat frowned.

"Oh," Qin Changge's eyes fluttered, "Thank you, sister, for your advice... To be honest, I have always been confused about these grades, and I just know how many grades I am."

Yang Meiren laughed again, and said: "The imperial concubine is in the first rank, and the sacred favor is solemn, that is something that cannot be forgotten no matter what."

"Oh." Qin Changge smiled immediately: "Never forget it no matter what? Then I really don't understand why I am standing now, you little beauty of the fourth rank, still dare to sit?"

She didn't wait for Yang Meiren who was frozen to speak, she rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "What I don't understand is why do you still dare to sit when the princess, who is of the highest grade and shoulder-to-shoulder with the empress, is kneeling?"

"The harem rules of my Xiliang Dynasty are really eye-opening. Thanks to the empress dowager's kindness and empress' mercy, the concubines only know left, right, east, south, north?"

All the concubines froze on the chairs. After a while, someone stood up slowly with a pale face, and then more and more people stood up. Only Concubine Yao and Concubine Shu were still sitting upright. There seemed to be pins and needles under the buttocks, and there was a slight uneasiness in his expression.

Xiao Jue disliked disturbances in the harem the most, so he was very strict with the concubines, and there was a clear distinction between the upper and lower ranks. If he found out about the disrespect, he might be banned or demoted.

The Empress Dowager was already slightly angry, but upon hearing the last sentence, she moved the corners of her mouth and stopped speaking. The Empress turned her head, looked at the Empress Dowager, endured it, and said slowly: "What the imperial concubine said is true, but that' only knows about What does "west, east, south, north" mean?"

"I don't know up and down!"

People followed, and the young emperor, with a purple gold crown embroidered with a golden dragon and a black robe gleaming with golden light, strode in. His body was tall and straight and his steps were neat.

The sunlight outside the hall, as he pushed the fan vigorously, was brought into a large expanse. It was so bright and white that people couldn't open their eyes, but it was far less than his heroic and bright eyes.

The concubines huffed and fell to their knees.

Xiao Jue didn't look at them, his face was as handsome as a god, his obsidian-like eyes were radiant, and his long eyebrows were slightly twisted, he greeted the Queen Mother first, then ignored the Queen, went to help Wenchang himself, and pushed her to sit on the chair himself. Then, he laughed loudly to Qin Changge: "You usually don't bother to pay attention to these matters, but you never thought that you would ask this question today. Well said!"

Qin Changge saluted with a slight smile, and the queen sneered and asked, "Your Majesty came too early today, did you come with the imperial concubine?"

Xiao Jue withdrew his smile, turned around coldly, and stared at the queen, his gaze passing like ice flakes.

The queen couldn't keep silent, she pursed her lips and shrank her body, and then she straightened her back in self-confidence, Xiao Jue turned her eyes away, and said calmly: "I have finished approving the memorial from Jingyizhai, go to the eldest princess The palace congratulated her on her birthday and said that she came to thank the Queen Mother, so I came over, Queen, are you satisfied with this answer?"

The queen's face turned pale, and she turned her eyes to the queen mother as if asking for help.

Empress Jiang Zhaowei was originally the niece of the empress dowager's natal family, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family of the rich Huaizuo family, and the daughter of the elder brother of the empress dowager Jiang.

At the beginning Xiao Jue was about to become an emperor, the former Huainan Princess, now the Empress Dowager Jiang, immediately married this cousin for him in his hometown, swearing that the two had a marriage contract since childhood, and even took out the so-called letter of engagement.

How could Xiao Jue be willing to be manipulated by others, he was so angry that he refused to acknowledge the engagement.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that there must be something wrong with this engagement. Just imagine Xiao Jue, an unfavored son of a concubine who was abandoned from the family, and the princess left her own son alone, why would she marry a noble daughter of the Jiang family first for his rebellious son?

However, the agreement was written in black and white, and the Jiang family and the Xiao family were all in unison. The former Yuan Dynasty always advertised the rule of courtesy, benevolence and filial piety. The death of the father and the death of the monarch and ministers should be thanked. Cousin has become a heartless person who is unkind, unfilial, unfaithful, and abandons his wretched wife once he becomes rich.

Things stalled.

In the end, Qin Changge, who was supposed to be the queen, came forward and persuaded him politely. She said that at that time, the new dynasty was about to be established, and the veterans of the old dynasty were in charge of the dynasty, and some of them had some influence in the court and the opposition. The sour literati wrote poems and essays, ridiculed Xiao Jue's wrongful seizure of the throne, and the thieves who usurped the country, harassing and making trouble endlessly.

Xiao Jue was heroic and brave in the battlefield, but he was quite troubled by these smug literati. Qin Changge only advised Xiao Jue that the best thing about literati is fame. If you kill him, he thinks his name will go down in history. If you insult him, he will I think it has been famous for a long time, you moved his finger, and you were immediately convicted of cruelty, tyranny, disrespect for morality, and killing the seeds of reading, but these people have a sharp mouth, love to catch people's feet, add oil and vinegar to write articles, ignorance The people will inevitably be led by the nose. You have not yet ascended the throne, and the hearts of the people are uncertain, so you must not embarrass these people, let alone catch them. Otherwise, the new emperor will be called cold and unfilial. Wife, get married first.

The last sentence made Xiao Jue's eyes brighten, because he acquiesced in this marriage. After he ascended the throne, he also listened to Qin Changge's words and became the queen, but Qin Changge, the real meritorious minister, was placed under her.

However, it's rare to have both in the world. It's hard to win the heart of a beloved man even if it steals the honor of the world from the mother.

The queen mother received the look of asking for help, but she just pretended not to see it, and only sighed in her heart that there was no one in her natal family, and she was still useless after picking around.

However, Xiao Jue turned around, facing the group of concubines who were fighting fiercely, and said with a sneer, "I have seen it today, I am a lady in Xiliang, and everyone is very good at etiquette and propriety."

Ignoring the pleas from the concubines, she carried Wenchang in her left hand and Qin Changge in her right hand, and walked out, only saying indifferently: "Everyone should be confined for three days, copy the Buddhist scriptures and calm down, so as not to be impetuous all day long. After three days, bring Read the Buddhist scriptures and talk to the princess."

Three days later, I went to visit the princess with the Buddhist scriptures that were punished... It was clear that they were going to come to the door to apologize in person. .

Since then, Wenchang's life has improved a lot. Although the empress dowager still doesn't want to see her, there is no one who made trouble in the Ming Dynasty and satirized him.

She has a restrained and gentle temperament, and she keeps everything in her heart. Since then, when she met Qin Changge, she didn't mention one or the other, but her eyes were warm and gentle, like sunlight, gently brushing over each other's bodies. Pass.
