However, no matter how difficult it is, you still have to tell His Highness the Grand Sun about this matter.
After all, the Ning family really has no intention of taking the position of concubine given by His Highness the Great Grandson. Naturally, there are a lot of people who are eyeing this position eagerly.
Therefore, Pei Yan entered the palace not long after receiving the letter, and then the letter quickly fell into Zhao Jingrui's hands.
After reading what was said in the letter, Zhao Jingrui was silent for a long time before speaking to Pei Yan.
"Sir, I feel that the Ning family has rejected the position of concubine offered by Gu. What should I do next?"
When Pei Yan heard the question from His Highness the Grand Sun who was about to ascend the throne, he frowned slightly and thought for a moment.
"If Feng Boguang is willing to hand over the tiger talisman, he might as well give the eldest lady of the Feng family the position of a noble concubine."
After all, based on General Feng's contribution, it is actually possible to give the eldest daughter of the Feng family the position of queen.
However, Pei Yan felt that even if Feng Boguang handed over the Tiger Talisman, there would still be too many of his cronies in the army.
Therefore, it would not be too late to give the position of concubine to the imperial concubine first, and then promote the eldest lady to the queen after His Highness the Grand Sun ascends the throne and takes complete control of the power in the army.
When Zhao Jingrui heard Pei Yan's words, he pursed his lips and said nothing after a long while.
"Become a concubine!"
Hearing His Highness Taisun's words, Pei Yan was slightly surprised and then agreed.
Because a country cannot live without a king for a day, after the death of Emperor He of Jin Dynasty, His Highness Taisun Zhao Jingrui quickly ascended the throne as emperor with the support of the courtiers, especially the insistence of General Feng's faction!
The reign name was Tianxi, and later generations began to call him Emperor Tianxi.
After Zhao Jingrui was elected to the throne, he vigorously and resolutely sent the young minister of Dali Temple Zheng Zixiu to thoroughly investigate the officials who had been escorted back from Qingzhou Prefecture and Pingyao Prefecture by the title of General and imprisoned in the sky prison.
Before the courtiers could react, they collected General Feng's tiger talisman and sent General Feng's confidant Wu Shuo as a powerful general to the border fortress to defend the city.
When the news came out, it shocked both the government and the public.
After all, everyone in the court knew that Feng Boguang was a staunch Taisun Party member.
If it weren't for Feng Boguang, it would be impossible for Zhao Jingrui to become a grandson, let alone an emperor.
But now, as soon as Zhao Jingrui became emperor, he actually took the title of General Feng Boguang.
This revelation left everyone in the imperial court really confused.
However, soon, another imperial edict came from the palace.
I feel sorry for General Feng who has been guarding the city at the border all year round, which has caused his body to be scarred. In addition, he was injured again this time when he went to arrest corrupt officials in Qingzhou and Pingyao. It can be said that he has achieved great results for his hard work.
Therefore, General Feng no longer has to go to the bitter and cold frontier to suffer.
It is hereby decreed that Feng Boguang be canonized as Marquis of Zhenbei, which is hereditary.
Also, the eldest lady was granted the title Miaolan, a virtuous and virtuous lady with outstanding appearance. She was specially granted the title of Concubine Shu and will enter the palace on the same day.
With these imperial edicts, the courtiers who had originally accepted the tiger talisman of the Great General from the new emperor suddenly became more alert.
When I thought of the hereditary and irreplaceable title of Marquis of Zhenbei, I felt that canonizing Miaolan as a concubine would be an extra favor to the Feng family.
Zhenbeihou can be said to be the first person in the court today, and is deeply loved and favored by the new emperor.
The former cronies of General Feng also said nothing about the new emperor accepting General Feng's tiger talisman.
After all, this Tiger Talisman was taken from General Feng and then given to the mighty General Wu Shuo.
You know, Wu Shuo had always been a highly valued confidant of General Feng.
What the new emperor did was equivalent to changing the tiger talisman from his left hand to his right hand. It was still the same as before!
Only Feng Boguang knew that everything was different.
The only daughter wants to enter the palace and become the master, and the new emperor is not someone who can be fooled casually.
Therefore, he could only exchange it with the tiger charm in his hand.
I just hope that my daughter will not regret it after entering the palace.
Does Feng Miaolan regret it?
She didn't regret it, she just hated why she had only one concubine.
Logically speaking, given her family background, it would be possible for her to get the position of queen.
So, after entering the palace, she gritted her teeth and thought about who had taken the position of queen.
Unexpectedly, apart from making her a concubine, the new emperor also included Jieyu in the harem, and the others were beauties and talented people.
Most of them just got the title of prostitute.
After hearing the news, Feng Miaolan's originally unwilling mood suddenly calmed down.
Even if she is not a queen, in the current harem, she is a person inferior to ten thousand people.
Although Ning Pengpeng felt good about Zhao Jingrui accepting the concubine after getting Mian'er's letter, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
Fortunately, my granddaughter's brain was not damaged.
Otherwise, looking at the large number of harem women who have been canonized, just to compete for the favor of a man, I guess people would have to think like a dog.
Of course, there may be more hidden poisonous schemes that cannot be seen on the surface, making it difficult for people to guard against.
Because many of the courtiers' legitimate daughters were included in the harem, the originally steadfast trench also began to have dissatisfaction.
Even if some people have guessed the meaning of the new emperor's actions, knowing it is one thing.
If a woman enters the palace, she will have ambitions.
After all, the back seat is still empty!
If a daughter in the family strives to be the first to give birth to a dragon son, does that mean that she will be canonized as the queen?
Because everyone was united, it could be said that it was much easier for Zheng Zixiu to investigate the case.
When the memorial was presented to the new emperor's desk, Emperor Tianxi took one look at it, snorted coldly, and threw the memorial directly in front of a group of senior ministers.
"Zheng Qing, come and read it to everyone."
Emperor Tianxi looked at Zheng Qinghe, the Minister of Household Affairs, who was nesting like quails, and directly named him.
Zheng Qinghe couldn't help but secretly complain, but he had to step forward and pick up the memorial.
Then he looked down and saw the content inside, which almost made his eyes pop out of shock.
You know, as the Minister of Household Affairs, he is in charge of money matters.
And this memorial stated that due to continuous heavy rains in the upper reaches of Luo'an County, the river water rose sharply, and the floods broke down the dams. Now the entire Luo'an County has become a vast ocean.
Houses were washed away and trees were uprooted.
The only good thing is that the magistrate of Luo'an County evacuated most of the people in Luo'an County in advance before the flood broke the dam, so too many people did not die in the flood.
However, this good news did not make Zheng Qinghe happy, he only felt frightened.
Because Qingzhou Prefecture is not very far from the capital, the Ministry of Revenue did not have any difficulty with Qingzhou Prefecture's proposal to repair the dam a few years ago.
Therefore, Qingzhou Prefecture quickly received an allocation of one million taels of official silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
However, according to what is said in the memorial, before the dike was washed away, there were collapses and leaks in various parts of the dike. This obviously meant that the money spent on repairing the dike was not used in construction.
