Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0121 The Empress Dowager narrates the cause of the past, Lin Daiyu secretly thinks about today's fruit

The Taishanghuang's expression was a little weird, when he looked at the emperor, his eyes were even full of scrutiny.The emperor let him look at him, and he didn't seem to flinch because of it.He met the Taishanghuang's gaze calmly, with an air of determination.

"You have always been a person with ideas." Taishanghuang's words sounded like a compliment, but if you take a closer look, you will find that it is actually more like a sigh.Since the Murong family entered the Forbidden City, there is no such thing as doting on children.Therefore, several princes have their own strengths, and they all have a spectrum in their hearts.Being an emperor has ideas in his heart, which is nothing to brag about.

"The decision not to depose the Eastern Empress Dowager was a decision made after many considerations..."

"Although the Eastern Empress Dowager has been there before, she is the mother of a country after all. You are the newly appointed queen, so some things are unavoidable." The Western Empress Dowager led Lin Daiyu to wander around the Kunming Lake. The verdant Longevity Hill, but at this moment, no one is in the mood to take a closer look.

Daiyu felt weird and didn't understand why the Queen Mother said these words.She left Le Shoutang, obviously unwilling to hear these things.But when I strolled by the Kunming Lake, when the court ladies disappeared, they seemed to have no intention of mentioning the old things like chatting.

But although the Queen Mother is not her serious mother-in-law, she is also the respect of the Queen Mother and an elder.Daiyu never thought of having any trouble with her, so she respected her very much.Whatever she says, just listen to it.The left and right are all made in the palace, so can they be targeted indiscriminately?

Daiyu supported the Empress Dowager, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I respectfully invite the Empress Dowager to teach you."

"It can't be regarded as teaching, but I was entrusted by others to tell you some things." The Empress Dowager always speaks straightforwardly, saying what she has to say, and she doesn't love hypocrisy and obedience.She couldn't understand what she was thinking at this moment, but those words were said lightly and naturally, as if she was talking about an extra dish for today's lunch.

Rao is such a calm person like Daiyu, she can't help showing surprise and astonishment when she hears the old affairs of the palace.

Only the Empress Dowager West said in a low voice: "In the final analysis, the crux of this matter lies with me and the Supreme Emperor. You have probably heard of some of the old things. The Empress Dowager and I were close friends in the boudoir, and we used to be close friends. Like a human being. On the day of Goguryeo’s rebellion, the first emperor led his own conquest. Unfortunately, the Daqing Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat in that battle, causing the old King Beijing to fight and die in order to save the first emperor. Although the first emperor came back with all his might, he finally hurt his roots and struggled to confess. Afterwards, he died suddenly and forever."

Although the matter was related to her own body, her expression was extremely calm, as if she was telling a story about someone else, and she was just a storyteller watching coldly.

The first emperor was a man of iron and blood, and he believed in force.In his life, there are always dozens of times in the royal family's personal expedition. He emerged from the army, but lost his life in the army.But he refused to budge an inch. This rigidity and iron frame made the Gentiles frightened. Even though he died in battle, the common people still thought of him.

Daiyu had vaguely heard some of them, but only in general.None of the girls in their inner house would seriously inquire about the affairs of the court.

The Empress Dowager West stopped, and said a moment later: "The Supreme Emperor was only seventeen or eighteen years old that day, and he had not yet married. He was ordered in danger, and hastily followed the emperor's wishes, and appointed the crown prince as the main concubine and side concubine. Before this, the palace had always acquiesced I am the Crown Prince and Concubine. As for the Eastern Empress Dowager, she promised it to my brother. However, the Supreme Emperor was still young, and the first emperor feared that the Supreme Emperor would not be able to subdue his subjects. Before he died, he changed his words and ordered the Eastern Empress Dowager to be the main concubine and I to be the side concubine. , and entered the East Palace together. My elder brother couldn't bear the blow, he didn't want to eat, and died of illness not long after."

The two who were once stuck together and couldn't be separated, and swore to be best friends for life, became enemies for life just like that.

Daiyu felt sad, and the people who went around in circles were actually victims of the change of imperial power.Could it be said that the first emperor did something wrong?The old King Beijing died in battle, the Palace of Beijing had heavy troops in hand, and the Supreme Emperor was young, if he could not subdue the Palace of Beijing, would he be watching the turmoil of the Daqing Dynasty?Goguryeo is just waiting to sneak in and bite off a piece of meat. Who can bet on this?

"East Empress Dowager..." Daiyu tentatively asked, "Does she hold a grudge against the Supreme Emperor?"

Could it be because of the fiancé who died of illness that he hated the Supreme Emperor and even didn't cherish his son?

The Empress Dowager looked at her thoughtfully, and said, "She hates all of us. In fact, she was not like this in the past, she was a bright and crisp girl. She didn't have that kind of heart for the Supreme Emperor. When she first got married, the late Emperor No way, as the crown prince, the Supreme Emperor is busy with political affairs. The two of us live in the East Palace, which is really deserted. There are no parents, mothers and brothers, except for the maids and eunuchs. It’s just the two of us. We often sleep together and eat together.”

I can't tell when this intimacy deteriorated. It seems that since the Queen Mother of the West became pregnant, the Queen Mother of the East has gradually changed.

"After I became pregnant, the Empress Dowager Dong was separated from me. The late emperor and the Empress Dowager also felt sorry for the Empress Dowager Dong, so they often advised her to relax. The Empress Dowager also promised her that she would be the queen of the future. The Empress Dowager Dong is a person who values ​​status very much. No matter what happens, she has to judge her status. With the promise of the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager Dong seems to be much more at ease. Later, I raised a son, who is now King Yongle No one expected that he would be blind and unable to see anything after being raised. At that time, the Daqing Dynasty had internal and external troubles, and the first emperor became weaker and weaker. The Supreme Emperor often disappeared. I washed my face with tears all day. Biting words, at the saddest moment, I even thought that it would be better to hold the child and die. How difficult is it for a blind child to live in the royal family even though he is in the royal family?"

She was pregnant for ten months but raised a blind man, and she couldn't bear to put it on anyone.Daiyu has never had a child, but even thinking about it is hard to accept.What's more, the Queen Mother is the party involved.But can congenital blindness be cured?If he had been blind all along, how would he become the emperor later?Although it was abolished later, it has stood up in the end.

Perhaps it was the Empress Dowager Xi who gave her a particularly easy-to-talk feeling today. Thinking of this, Daiyu asked directly: "I heard from my brother that King Yongle's eyes were healed later?"

"Your brother?" The Empress Dowager Xi said "Oh" as if she had suddenly realized: "Remember, Lin Jue is your brother. He is a good boy like a bamboo like a pine, and he was very close to King Yongle in the past. King Yongle’s eyes are not cured, but it should be regarded as a detoxification. At that time, Queen Yongle was raised, and I didn’t want to live. But the Queen Mother often came to forgive me, and even held the child for me to see. Gradually rested his thoughts. King Yongle was raised until he was two years old, and the late emperor finally died, leaving the last words of the crown prince to succeed him. The empress dowager was so sad that she cried and fainted in front of the palace spirit of the Qing Dynasty. Only then did we know that the empress dowager The Empress Dowager is actually pregnant, this is the posthumous son left by the late Emperor, who is the current King He Rui."

King He Rui is two years younger than his nephew, and he is the blood of the late emperor, so the Supreme Emperor loves King He Rui very much, and even his son has to stand aside.

"At that time, the Empress Dowager Dong was also five months pregnant, and the inner court of the previous court was at a critical juncture. At this time, Goguryeo once again disturbed our frontier. After two years of war, the Daqing Dynasty has not yet recovered. It has been damaged several times in a row. Goguryeo took advantage of this to make a request that the late emperor and the empress dowager's princess Jingduan be married. Without the princess Jingduan, the empress dowager became more and more sad, and the empress dowager stood up. The belly takes care of the inner court, and when the Empress Dowager raises Queen He Rui, she loves her like a parent." The Empress Dowager patted the back of Daiyu's hand, as if deliberately explaining: "This is exactly what the Empress Dowager treats all these years. The Empress Dowager Dong has many reasons for her patience."

The Empress Dowager West said: "King He Rui discovered the poison of King Yong Le. He said that King Yong Le's blood was darker than ordinary people. The Supreme Emperor kept it in mind, and quietly sent people to investigate, and finally found out that his poison was fetal blood. Originally it was killing someone, but I was too sick that day, so I saved his life. It happened a few years ago, and I couldn't find out who was behind it for a while. Wang Jiedu, while investigating, finally went around in circles, but found the Queen Mother."

Daiyu shuddered suddenly, no wonder both the Empress Dowager and the emperor said that the Empress Dowager Dong always knew how to attack children best, and this was her traditional method.It turns out that the crux of the matter is that Princess Rongshou is not the first child to be harmed by her!

At that time, the Empress Dowager should have been abolished. Why was there no news about this matter, and she even sat safely in the position of Empress Dowager?

Sometimes it only takes a few words to get close to people. For some reason, the Western Empress Dowager has always been indifferent, but Daiyu just thinks that she is more intimate than the smiling East Empress Dowager.

Daiyu couldn't help asking, the Empress Dowager's eyes moved slightly, and she and Daiyu took two steps forward.

"The Supreme Emperor thought about abolishing the Eastern Empress Dowager, but was stopped by the Eastern Empress Dowager. At that time, the Eastern Empress Dowager had already raised King Xiaoyi, the prince who was born as a direct son. He had high hopes since he was born. He lived up to everyone's expectations. Human talent, he was named a prince at a very young age. Our Supreme Emperor also became a prince at a young age, so he felt that King Xiaoyi was a son inheriting his father's business, and he loved him very much. The Daqing Dynasty paid attention to orthodoxy, concubine, My dear, the empress dowager couldn't bear to see the crown prince of a country being stigmatized because of his birth mother. After all, the empress dowager felt that he was ashamed of the empress dowager Dong and also loved King Xiaoyi, so he pressed the matter. The empress dowager was not deposed that day, yes For King Xiaoyi. The Eastern Empress Dowager cannot be deposed now because of the emperor."

The Queen Mother's words were quite sincere. She was entrusted by others, and since she agreed, she had to be loyal to others and get this matter done well.

"The Eastern Empress Dowager is wrong, but she is the emperor's biological mother after all. Have you ever thought about the impact on the emperor if the Eastern Empress Dowager is deposed at this moment, even if it is the Supreme Emperor's decree?"

Daiyu hadn't thought about this level before, but after being instructed by the Empress Dowager, she faintly discovered the truth of everyone's hesitation. She tentatively said, "Will the ministers feel that the emperor has lost his heart to the emperor?"

"not only that."

Not far ahead is a bench made of bamboo. The Empress Dowager Xi likes to walk along Kunming Lake very much, so there are many such chairs along the lake.The Empress Dowager led Daiyu to sit down on the bench, and looked up, only to see Kunming Lake is vast and boundless, and the water and sky are as bright as one color.

"There are some things that Mr. Lin might not have told you when you were raised in a deep boudoir. But now that you are a queen, you should know something. Although the Supreme Emperor has stepped back, there are still many people walking in front of him Many old officials also felt that the emperor was too young, and would still ask the emperor to decide on many important matters. With Lao Tzu, his son will always be a junior, even the emperor. Once the Queen Mother is deposed, the backlash will be ushered in It will happen almost instantly. There will be ministers and workers who suspect whether the emperor has lost his heart in front of the Supreme Emperor. With the lessons learned from King Yongle being abolished, they will be more paranoid and guess whether the Supreme Emperor has other intentions. Le Wang was smoother, with almost no resistance. A large part of the reason was that he was a descendant of the Eastern Empress Dowager and a descendant of the Central Palace. The emperor's reputation has suffered."

It is very easy to depose a concubine, just like the emperor abolished concubine Shu, and the emperor abolished concubine Ming, it was just a matter of one sentence.But deposing the queen and even the queen mother is no longer something that the emperor can decide alone.The abolition of the mother of a country involves national stability and has a vital influence on the inner court.

After hearing these words, Daiyu almost guessed that the Supreme Emperor would not allow the emperor to depose the Eastern Empress Dowager.She also agreed with the Empress Dowager Xi's statement that it would be better for the emperor.But in my heart, I couldn't help feeling sorry for the emperor and Princess Rongshou.They are all people who have suffered for no reason. Could it be that just because of one or another reason, the matter should be lightly exposed?

"The empress dowager and the empress dowager, do you know why Princess Rongshou has been ill for a long time? It was sent here yesterday. I think you have also discovered today that Princess Rongshou sleeps non-stop except for waking up occasionally..." Daiyu finally I had no choice but to watch like this, and told the Empress Dowager Dong about Princess Rongshou's cold food: "Why is Princess Rongshou? You have suffered this kind of pain, and I think I feel very sorry for Concubine Shu and the emperor's current mood. I understand. Parents know these things, only grit their teeth and hate, not to mention that the emperor is so clear about what he likes and hates. In my opinion, the emperor may not be willing to obey."

This time the emperor was indeed determined to ask the Supreme Emperor to abolish the Eastern Empress Dowager, even if he suffered rumors and criticism from the censor.Because of her own selfishness, she first caused King Yongle to be blind for many years, which directly caused King Yongle to feel resentful, and thus killed King Xiaoyi.Now it's getting worse and worse, even his own granddaughter is willing to do it.If you don't deal with her this time, who knows what she will do next time?If you poisoned Princess Rongshou this time, do you want to attack him next time?She doesn't like Daiyu, why should she be on guard against her murdering the queen day and night?There is no such thing as a thousand days against thieves!

Therefore, Rao Taishang Huang stripped away the cocoons and told the emperor all kinds of interests, but he still did not waver.

"You don't want to make the decree, I make the decree myself!" The emperor insisted: "I would rather not have such a mother, and I would rather be poked in the back by the people of the world, pointing at the nose and scolding for being unfilial and admitting it. Zheng Zhuanggong can still say 'no' to Wu Jiang As for the declaration of "No Encounter in the Underworld"[1], can I, as the Emperor of Daqing, have to endure it?"

"Calm down! Where have you learned the self-restraint and prudence you should have as an emperor!"

The emperor choked up, and his eyes quickly turned red: "If the second brother is still here, I don't have to be the emperor. Why didn't you restrain the Eastern Empress Dowager early? If you were more cruel, you would have discovered that the Eastern Empress Dowager poisoned King Yongle that day. I will end her in time, and there will be no such things. The second brother will not die early! Do you remember the second brother? The most honest and loving prince! He was only 17 years old when he died!"

The death of King Xiaoyi is the regret and pain in everyone's heart, and the emperor is closest to this elder brother.He was the fifth prince, and the Eastern Empress Dowager did not cherish him, nor did the Supreme Emperor.In life, the Empress Dowager took care of him, but in school, it was King Xiaoyi who taught him hand in hand.He and King Jinzhuang regard King Xiaoyi as a brother like a father. If King Xiaoyi is still alive, why has he ever thought of becoming an emperor?

Speaking of King Xiaoyi, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help feeling sorry, and his eyes turned red.When people get old, when they think of the things they regretted in the past, they feel more regretful.King Xiaoyi is his most valued son, and he has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was young.He named King Xiaoyi Yongning, and at the age of 15, he chose the name Yanqing for him at the most precious place in the crown ceremony.It represents his infinite expectations for King Xiaoyi, and he hopes that in the future, the country will be prosperous in Yongning, Haiyan and Heqing in the hands of King Xiaoyi.However, he was involved in a treason case. The Supreme Emperor didn't believe that this son would commit treasonous things, but in order to silence his ministers, he could only be imprisoned in the East Palace temporarily, and then slowly questioned.As a result, the child was too honest and affectionate, and when the Supreme Emperor didn't see him, he would kneel at the gate of the East Palace every day.How can a person who has been raised by golden water shield and jade grains since childhood be so sick?At the end of his illness, King Yongle took the life of King Xiaoyi with the medicine that the Queen Mother Dong had murdered him.

One pays for another. Back then, the Queen Mother planted the cause, but it was King Xiaoyi who paid back in the end.

The Supreme Emperor showed a dejected expression: "In these years, your second brother has never entered my dream. Presumably he is also resenting me..."

"If the Eastern Empress Dowager is not deposed, and she is allowed to stir up trouble in the inner court, such things will not stop, and will only increase." The emperor also had expectations and admiration for the Eastern Empress Dowager, but his emotions remained She was consumed by viciousness again and again. "She doesn't like my new queen. I can't allow the queen to make mistakes because of her. Just like you can't accept the Eastern Queen to hurt the Western Queen!"

It is not easy for the people of the Murong family to find someone they like, but once they find it, it will last forever.

The Supreme Emperor pressed his forehead and fell into a long and long thought.I don't know how long it took before he said in a hoarse voice: "Empress Dowager Dong can't be abandoned. Send her to Rehe Palace, in the name of praying for the late emperor. Take back her empress and empress dowager treasures, and she will take away the maids and eunuchs. Thereafter, there is no edict to forbid her to return to Beijing..."
