Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 8037: It’s hard to reconcile the concubine until her intentions are clear
Chapter 2778 Gui Zi Scroll It’s hard to calm down the concubine without clear intention
The same is true for Baochai.
The weird atmosphere in the back house has enveloped everyone, and no one can escape it.
The sisters who were good friends and the maids who were close friends, whether they were taking concubines because they had given birth or not, all gathered in each house, whispering.
Baochai knew very well that she had now become "the target of public criticism".
Who made his Honglang the "eldest son"?
She had never thought about this problem before.
After all, Shen Yixiu and Daiyu both had biological sons, and Yingchun and Xiuyan also gave birth to sons early, earlier than any of them.
Even talking about the wild woman outside, Busia Mara, and another one that is looming but no one has mentioned it so far, my cousin Wang Xifeng also gave birth to a son early.
It’s just that no one will admit it, and it’s impossible to enter the Feng Ancestral Hall.
None of this matters, either he is a son of a common concubine, or he is born from an outside wife, or to put it more bluntly, he is an illegitimate son who cannot see the light of day, or who cannot get his birthright.
And now each of the three families has a legitimate son. Isn’t this just right? Everyone is happy, right?
But who would have thought that the timing of the announcement would now become a key issue.
The Xianggong has ascended the throne as the emperor. Although it is still far away in a hundred years, it is a real problem. The family does not want it, and the Xianggong does not want it, but the officials will definitely consider it.
Who is the crown prince, or crown prince?
At this time, the peculiarity of Honglang being the longest among the three legitimate sons was highlighted.
Whether there is a direct line or a direct line, how to combine the line and the head into one is basically determined. This is the legal system that scholars have always respected.
For example, Emperor Wan Tong did something that was contrary to human ethics, had an affair with his father's concubine and gave birth to a child. This was an unspeakable scandal. He was deposed as the crown prince, but later he actually became the prince. He was still able to stand up, just because he was the eldest son of Emperor Yuan Xi, which shows the specialness of Li Lili eldest son among the people of the country.
You can think of it all, so at this time, there are already all kinds of gossip in the back house.
What is a direct descendant?
What is long?
This question has been raised.
If they are all direct descendants, then we have to talk about the eldest son. The eldest son is the eldest son. Then should Shen Yixiu be made the queen?
If she is the queen, then the son she gives birth to can be called the legitimate son, and no other son can be called the legitimate son.
Similarly, Sanfang’s side also had arguments.
Xianggong has the eldest son's house and the second house, but he only has the eldest house and the second house to continue the incense. His main house is still the third house.
So the inheritance of the throne does not involve the continuation of the incense, it should be the main room, which is the third room.
In this way, the third bedroom is the direct descendant.
In other words, Daiyu should be the queen, but if Daiyu is the queen, then the son she gives birth to is the legitimate son.
In this way, the second room where I live is the least relevant.
But as Bao Qin said, the three families are all surnamed Feng, and they are all legitimate sons. Then the sons born to him, Shen Yixiu, and Daiyu are all legitimate sons, so we should discuss the merits here.
Who dares to say that she is a concubine and not the wife of the wife? There is no such thing in the world. This is registered in the Ministry of Rites and has been approved by the legal system.
If I am not the principal wife, then Daiyu is not the principal wife, but also a concubine?
This means that Zhengshuo, who has denied Sanfang, will not agree to this issue in the first place.
This kind of relationship will become chaotic if it is not sorted out.
Baochai didn't think so much, but Baoqin had already calculated all the pros and cons here and analyzed them for himself, which made him dizzy.
What a mess.
Seeing his sister's expression changing, Bao Qin said solemnly: "Sister, let's not talk about the reason for this matter, but if you give in on your own initiative, Hong Lang will definitely not be there.
"
"According to what you said, if I don't give in, I will fight, and Honglang will have a share?" Baochai asked calmly.
"That's not necessarily true, but at least I hope it will be much bigger." The dimples appeared on Baoqin's handsome cheeks, but the gap between his teeth was full of cold fighting spirit, "My little sister, I guess this is the first time this kind of thing has happened to me since ancient times. If it's my husband,
If you don't become the emperor, then the fight for the heir apparent among the three houses will not be a problem, but this involves the inheritance of the throne, which lineage, who should continue the imperial lineage, and who can just let it go?"
Baochai shook her head. She knew very well about her husband's personality. There were some things that you couldn't get by fighting for them, and it might even be counterproductive.
The inheritance of the throne is such an important matter. Even my husband would not listen to the pillow talk of the people in the back house. It probably depends on the opinions and attitudes of the important ministers around my husband.
Moreover, now that your husband has ascended the throne for the first time, you are now talking about inheritance. What do you mean?
Anyone would think too much.
To jump out and fight for this all of a sudden would be too preoccupied, and it would be self-defeating if not done well.
There is another factor that Baochai is also considering. It is reasonable to establish direct descendants, but it is not absolute.
In the Zhou Dynasty, even the Ming Dynasty and the earlier Song Dynasty, there were many cases where no direct descendants were established.
If you meet a strong emperor, you have to follow his wishes.
Whoever is more favored by him will be the one he will give the throne to. This is not only more important than whether the son is favored by the emperor, but also whether his mother is favored by the emperor. All the subtle factors cannot be ignored.
With the maverick character of my husband, he was the founding emperor and had even greater authority. If he approved of anyone, I am afraid that even the concubines born to maids such as Qingwen and Yuanyang would be promoted to the throne. No one else could.
Can stop it.
Baoqin's vision is still too short-sighted and he is eager for quick success and quick gain, which will only be counterproductive.
Of course, Baochai also understands that if she takes the initiative to give in, she may not have a chance with Honglang. She will not do that. She will be reasonable and well-founded, and the strategies she adopts will change with time and the situation.
Presumably Shen Yixiu and Daiyu are also considering this issue. This will be a "long-term war". She will not be careless, but she will not be deliberate either.
Feng Ziying did not know that the flames of war had begun to burn in her back house, and that a "long-term war" was about to begin, even a war that was not based on the will of the parties involved.
At this time, he was still busy dealing with various unexpected problems that arose. At this time, he realized that being an emperor was different from being a chief minister, and being a diligent emperor was even more difficult.
It was decided that You Shigong would be the first privy envoy and Cao Wenzhao would be the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army. At the same time, it was also necessary to consider which troops would be deployed to participate in this battle.
Everyone knows that this may be the first foreign war after the founding of the new dynasty, and it may also be the largest foreign war in the next few decades. After Mongolia is defeated in this battle, it will be difficult to find such an opponent on the surrounding land. In other words, this may be a rare opportunity to make a contribution. If you miss it, you may lose it in your lifetime.
After solving the problems of the Privy Council and the commander of the expedition against Mongolia, and basically reaching an agreement with the civil servants on the integration of the border troops, Feng Ziying could finally relax.
The wishes of the warriors must be satisfied to a certain extent. Not disarmament is the minimum requirement, but this also brings huge challenges to the finances of the new dynasty.
Even You Shigong and Cao Wenzhao are well aware of the pressure brought by the annual military supplies of one million frontier troops.
Even if we don’t take into account the additional needs brought about by updating equipment every year, and don’t take into account war costs, the basic cost of a frontier sergeant every year is about thirty taels of silver. In other words, this cost alone requires More than thirty million taels of silver.
If there is a war, then this will have to be dealt with separately.
So on this point, Feng Ziying also needs to make it clear to You Cao.
Instead of setting up a Privy Council and having warriors serve as privy envoys, the court must meet all the needs of the warriors. That would be unrealistic and impossible.
Military people also need to understand the difficulties of the court. Allowing privy councilors to enter the cabinet is actually creating a platform for military personnel to participate in internal affairs and create a platform for mutual understanding and compromise.
After sending away You Cao and the others, Feng Ziying could also take a rest.
Only then did he realize that he had not returned to Feng Mansion for many consecutive years and had almost lived in the palace during this period.
When I feel sleepy, I take a nap in Fengtian Hall. When I wake up, I basically deal with all aspects of court affairs. The only ones who can accompany me are Third Sister You and uncle and nephew Zhou Peisheng, as well as Wang Chenghu, Kuang Tiangeng and Xu Chao who come in from time to time. The leader of the Third Family Army.
Feng Ziying found that she seemed to be avoiding the problems in her own house intentionally or unintentionally. This was a subconscious behavior.
Even her father came and half-hiddenly asked about how to arrange the harem, but Feng Ziying did not discuss this issue with her father.
But Feng Ziying also knew that she would eventually have to face this problem. The three daughters of Shen Xuelin and the children they gave birth to had to have an explanation.
Ambiguity is okay among the people, but the problem is that he has become the emperor, and this cannot be avoided.
It’s not easy for Feng Ziying to ask anyone else this question.
Whether it's practicing state affairs, Wang Wenyan, or even my father, it's hard to ask.
You can only decide for yourself.
The Seventy-Two Concubines of the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards was originally an obscene story that I had seen in countless novels in my previous life, but now it has really happened to me. Could it be that the three women of Shen Xuelin are the Three Palaces?
Main palace, east palace, west palace?
Which one is right?
Walking to the gate of Fengtian Hall, Feng Ziying stretched her body, looked at the slowly darkening western sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.
In two days, the new dynasty will be officially established. The founding ceremony will be officially held here. The new cabinet, the new eight ministries, two academies, five temples and one department will be officially unveiled, and then the Xu Zheng will be held at night. A formal announcement will be made to turn on the lights and fire cannons at Chengtian Gate to announce to the world the founding of the Chinese Dynasty.
At the same time, the camp composed of the border troops and the Beijing camp will have a majestic military parade passing through the East and West Chang'an Street. At that time, the important ministers and the "concubines" of their harems will also watch this grand event on the Chengtian Gate Tower. .
But at this time, the identities of my "concubines" are still unknown, so what should I do?
