Chapter Fifty-Eighth: Ming Royal Concubine and De Concubine
The carriage drove along the broad avenue towards the imperial city. The concubine Li Qingzhao was sitting in the carriage, swaying slightly with the bumps of the carriage. She looked at the imperial concubine Ming Zhaoxia sitting opposite and couldn't help but ask.
"Sister, what happened just now, will it offend the officials?"
"The officials won't be annoyed. Is my sister a little annoyed?" Ming Zhaoxia asked with a smile.
"No, I'm not annoyed, I just don't understand. Why is my sister doing this today?"
The imperial concubine had a good relationship with the official family when they met and stayed in the residence. The official family loved her very much and seemed to indulge her. But Li Qingzhao knew very well that Sister Ming was just lively by nature and did not like the lifeless life in the imperial city. But she
Be mentally mature and know what can and cannot be done.
When Caifeng Pavilion showed up today, she instigated and forced Master Li to be brought to the official's house. She was said to be acting wantonly, so she looked down upon her.
Li Qingzhao wanted to understand the mystery behind this.
"You are such a smart person, haven't you figured it out yet?" Ming Zhaoxia asked jokingly.
In the harem, Li Qingzhao was a well-known talented woman, even the empress Zeng Shuhua, who also had a profound family background, was inferior to her. However, her talents were all concentrated in literature, and she lacked too much in the aspect of human nature and sophistication.
On the contrary, Queen Zeng was born into a famous family - a famous family means a big family, each house has its own branch, intrigues and intrigues, these scenes of incompetence, Zeng Shuhua has seen since she was a child.
The imperial concubine Zeng has been wandering around with her reviled parents since she was a child, and is accustomed to the warmth and coldness of the world. Later, her parents died, and she was taken in and raised by Duke Su - jumping from the bitter water pit to the brine pit.
In the fourth year of Shaosheng's reign, the elder Su Gong was demoted to Qiongzhou Biejia and resettled by the Changhua Army. The younger Su Gong was demoted to Huazhou Biejia and Leizhou resettlement. In May of that year, the two brothers gathered in Tengzhou.
At that time, Mr. Su didn’t know if he could return to the Central Plains alive after going to Qiongya Island, so as not to harm his adopted daughter. And his younger brother was also a homeless person in Tianya, and other friends were reliable but not reliable. They happened to be in Jian at that time.
The officials in Wang Qian's residence exchanged letters with him, so they thought about it and sent an old servant to send Ming Zhaoxia to Kaifeng to join King Jian, with the intention of entrusting him as an orphan.
But by chance, Ming Zhaoxia met Guan Jia at Baifanlou. At that time, Ming Zhaoxia had the pseudonym Jinyunu and had already made a name for herself in Kaifeng Goulan Washer. At that time, she was more independent than Li Shishi now, and Li Shishi was even more famous.
He has an adoptive mother, Mama Li.
Having lived in a place like this, my knowledge of the world is certainly much better than that of Li Qingzhao, the imperial concubine.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Sister, you know that I am very stupid in this area, so why don't you ask me to teach you?" Li Qingzhao bit his lip and asked a little coquettishly.
"Good sister, I want you to know that this is a test, a test. And this matter was decided together by the Queen and me after discussing it. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"The queen and the lady decided together after discussion." Li Qingzhao breathed a long sigh of relief, finally letting go of his half-suspended heart.
"Sister, are you testing the officials?" Thinking of this, Li Qingzhao's heart lifted again, even higher. Why are you testing the officials?
"My silly sister." Ming Zhaoxia noticed Li Qingzhao's panic, quickly comforted her, and then began to explain.
"The official family has three great ambitions, and they have been completed twelve years after taking the throne. Xixia was destroyed, and the old land of Lingwu was recovered; Northern Liao was destroyed, and the sixteen states of Yanyun were recovered. Beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties, Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty almost broke the country
They did not march into Mobei and surrender to the Xiongnu; before Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there were Nanzhao in the south, Tubo in the west, and Turks in the north. Now the west, north, and south of the Song Dynasty have been wiped out by the officials. Do you think it counts?
Beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties?”
"Isn't there still the Western Region that has not been recovered?"
"The Western Region is too far away, and you won't be able to come there in a hurry. And it's really nothing. When the situation in the Northeast stabilizes, the Four Elephant Banners will take turns to go there once a year for drills. Within five years, the countries in the Western Region will be crying and begging.
The Song Dynasty reopened the Anxi Protectorate."
Li Qingzhao was nudged by Ming Zhaoxia and understood the meaning.
"Sister, are you worried that after the officials have completed their three great ambitions and made great achievements, they will be satisfied and start to enjoy themselves?"
"I just said that my sister is so smart, how could I not think of it? Yes. The former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the former Emperor Taizong Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty were both motivated and strong in the first half of their lives, but they were burdened with infamy in the second half of their lives. Officials who are less than thirty years old are already '
He will be at the top of the mountain and see all the mountains and small mountains. If he is really complacent, it will not be a good thing."
"So the sisters just came up with this?"
"Domestic flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers. Men always eat in their mouths and look at what's in the bowl. For example, His Royal Highness King Cai has thirty or forty beautiful wives and concubines in his house, but he still loves every one he sees.
I keep bringing girls into my house from outside."
"Our official family is not like that." Li Qingzhao said firmly.
"We believe that after today's test, we believe even more. In the hearts of the officials, there are more lofty ambitions to be realized. Integrating Mobei, Northeast, Southwest and the Central Plains into one, becoming the eternal territory of the Song Dynasty; opening up sea routes,
Wherever the sea reaches, the Song Dynasty’s phoenix reborn flag must be planted; we must also march to the west and open up trade routes with Liuzhou Taixi and Daxi Persia...”
"As long as our official family can't take a break, he won't have the heart to look at those flowers and plants."
Li Qingzhao laughed angrily and said, "Sister, you are not afraid of the officials being angry if you do this?"
"The official family is such a smart person. As soon as Mr. Li entered the private room, he knew what he meant. But he won't be angry. After testing it, we felt at ease, and the harem was also at peace, and he can go to war with peace of mind.
Quartet.”
"Why did my sister think of recruiting Master Li to test the official family?"
"Of course, the most charming person must be used to test. Master Li is now the most famous person in Kaifeng City, and he is unparalleled for a while."
"It's just that I'm worried about Master Li...sister, please don't harm her."
"Make her lovesick? Or are you worried that she will be taken into the palace?" Ming Zhaoxia looked at Li Qingzhao with a smile, which made her a little flustered, as if her little thoughts had been seen through.
"Don't worry, the officials won't like her. The officials won't be like His Highness King Cai who only thinks about things with his lower body - I didn't say this. It was the officials who learned that His Highness Eleventh has accepted the 32nd
When I was concubine, I cursed in the palace. Impulsiveness is a taboo for good generals and famous commanders. If you are not careful, someone will die. Therefore, officials are very calm when encountering problems and will consider the causes and consequences clearly at any time."
"Sister, do you think that if the official family accepts me, they will accept Master Li as usual? No. The queen comes from the Zeng family in Jinjiang, which maintains the southeastern family and many famous ministers' families; Gongfei He's family, maintains the Mobei family.
The Tatars and Mongol tribes; the concubine Yelv clan, maintained the Khitan, Xi people and other tribes in the old Liao Dynasty; you, my sister, are from Qizhou, and your father, Uncle Wen, is quite famous among the northern scholars and Confucian scholars."
Li Qingzhao listened intently, with her mouth slightly open and her beautiful eyes full of surprise. Why do officials pay so much attention to marrying a queen? She couldn't help but ask.
"Sister, where is Concubine Li?" This chapter has been completed!
