In the harem, the atmosphere was oppressive.
Since the prophecy of troubled times came into the world, the whole harem has been more taboo. According to the history books, those who are most likely to control the imperial power come from the imperial palace.
"Mi Yue, Empress Dowager Zhao, empress Lu, Empress Dowager Dou......"
The whole Imperial Palace was in danger for fear of being attached to the prophecies of troubled times. The public rumor refuted by Mo magazine and Confucian magazine made the people in the Imperial Palace feel a heavy sigh of relief.
Since Confucianism and ink journals publicly declared that the prophecy of troubled times was false, it meant that the people in the harem were no longer involved, let alone Li Junxian, who was suspected to be the female Lord Wu, was driven out of the palace. For a moment, the atmosphere in the harem was relaxed.
"Since the prophecy of troubled times is the conspiracy of the Yin and Yang family, why should your majesty doubt General Li? Isn't it true?" empress Chang sun advised in the legislative palace.
Although all the women in power in the past dynasties came from the harem and were the most empresses, empress Chang sun did not shy away from it. First, she had a deep relationship with Li Shimin, and second, her body was getting worse and worse. I'm afraid she couldn't last until that time.
"I naturally know that Li Junxian is loyal. After Merton's reminder, I realized that Li Junxian is very consistent with the prophecy of troubled times, so I let him go to Huazhou to lead out the remaining yin-yang families and catch them all." Li Shimin explained that he absolutely believes in the empress changsun and didn't hide it.
Empress Chang sun suddenly realized that this was the best outcome. On the one hand, it could attack the yin-yang family, on the other hand, it indirectly saved Li Junxian, because he knew his husband's mind best. If he really didn't mind the prophecy of troubled times, I'm afraid he wouldn't delegate Li Junxian.
"The atmosphere in the harem has been tense recently. Your majesty had better appease!" Li Shimin and the empress changsun were gentle, and they were advised by the empress changsun.
Empress Chang sun knows the general very well. Naturally, she knows that even the public refutation of rumors by ink and Confucian journals is not as good as Li Shimin's personal appeasement. Only Li Shimin personally says that the prophecy of troubled times is a rumor, can the harem restore its peace in the past. Otherwise, under all kinds of suspicion and fabrication, I'm afraid it will eventually lead to great disaster.
Li Shimin got up and left the Lizheng hall. He comforted all the concubines and gave them great rewards. Even when Yin imperial concubine asked for a fief for her king Li you of Qi, Li Shimin waved his hand and won the position of governor of Qi State for Li you to control the military and political power of Qi state.
Li Shimin comforted the concubines continuously. When he came to Zheng Chonghua's palace, night had fallen, so he took the opportunity to stay at Zheng Chonghua's place.
"Brother Liu's speech is too unreasonable. Who says that women are not as good as men............."
A well-known Mulan was selected to sing and play. Zheng Chonghua gently fell into Li Shimin's arms and said, "Your Majesty, how are you singing this Mulan song?"
"Yes, Princess Ai's singing skills have improved again, which is comparable to Gongsun people." Li Shimin praised the Mo family. Gongsun people are Gongsun Yue's honorific name. Since the birth of Mulan opera, Gongsun Yue's reputation has become famous in Chang'an city overnight.
"I have nothing to do recently. I'm bored. I'm just studying singing. Your majesty praises me wrongly. I know my minister and concubine are far from Miss Gongsun's singing. How can I deserve your Majesty's praise." Zheng Chonghua looks coquettish and angry. She not only acts coquettish in front of Li Shimin, but also knows how to advance and retreat. She deeply grasps Li Shimin's mind. You should know that with Li Shimin's vision and insight, Some brainless beauties will not enter their emperor's heart.
Li Shimin said with a spoiled face: "everywhere I go, all imperial concubines are terrified by the prophecy of troubled times. It's the most relaxed and carefree to go to imperial concubine Zheng. Isn't imperial concubine Zheng worried about being implicated by the prophecy of troubled times?"
Zheng Chonghua smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. If I want to do it, I'll be Hua Mulan who can help your majesty. I'm not willing to be the female Lord Wu. I'm lucky to get your Majesty's favor. I don't ask for anything else in my life."
"Oh! How are you going to help me, Mulan of the harem?" Li Shimin joked.
Zheng Chonghua said solemnly: "let my concubines think about it. The way to solve the prophecy of troubled times proposed by Marquis Mo is to dismember the theory of Yin-Yang family to destroy the Qi luck of Yin-Yang family. The most suitable for the royal family is Fengtian."
"Fengtianyun!" Li Shimin nodded slowly. Fengtianyun is a theory of yin and Yang school that satisfied him. It is tailor-made for him.
Zheng Chonghua then said, "however, fengtiankai is not a stroke in the history books, but to remember that his majesty is the emperor of fengtiankai all the time."
"Always remember? What should I do?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
"Not only let the subjects all over the world remember, but also show solemnity. That's the imperial edict. In the future, when your majesty wrote the imperial edict, he wrote at the beginning:" the emperor is carried by heaven, and the imperial edict says...... in this way, won't you let the subjects all over the world know that your majesty is carried by heaven? "Zheng Chonghua said in a flash of light.
"Emperor of heaven, imperial edict!" Li Shimin's heart pounded. This imperial edict was tailor-made for him, which was both solemn and well-known.
Zheng Chonghua said proudly, "well, my concubine, this harem Mulan is not in vain!"
"Yes, it's just what I want." Li Shimin, long yandayue,
When I stayed in Chonghua palace every night, I doted on Zheng Chonghua until dawn the next day.
Li Shimin just walked out of the Chonghua palace. Pound on the side bowed forward and asked, "tell your majesty whether to stay or not."
In the Imperial Palace, staying and not staying means whether the Dragon seed in the imperial concubine stays or not after the emperor sleeps over. If it stays, it means that the imperial concubine can conceive and give birth to the imperial son. If it doesn't stay, it means that the mammy in the palace needs to stimulate the imperial concubine's acupoints to force the Dragon seed, and then drink a bowl of Xizi decoction.
Li Shimin stopped and paused, then said indifferently, "don't stay!"
"Yes!" pound bowed his head and ordered the maid of honor to go down and arrange.
In Chonghua palace, Zheng Chonghua lay lazily on the soft couch. Li Shimin's overnight stay in the palace gave her great vanity. She couldn't help touching her stomach. If she could take the opportunity to conceive dragon seed, she would certainly be able to rely on her mother and son to further her position in the palace.
"Your proposal is good. There is a reward in the palace." Zheng Chonghua said to a small eunuch under the stage with satisfaction. The reason why she was able to put forward the idea of accepting the emperor's edict was the idea of the eunuch in front of her. However, she didn't know that the person in front of her was the new yin-yang son.
"Thank you for your gift," said the little mage with a surprised look on his face.
Zheng Chonghua nodded with satisfaction and said, "from now on, you will stay in Chonghua palace, and this palace will reuse you."
In Zheng Chonghua's opinion, the little eunuch has some skills and can often give her advice and help her compete for favor.
"Slave, thank you for your grace!" the little mage accepted without hesitation. After all, he can become a popular man around Zheng Chonghua. He can contact more suspected female Lord Wu Wang in the palace, so as to continue to promote the prophecy of troubled times.
Zheng Chonghua waved his hand and motioned the little mage to step down. Suddenly, a group of nannies gong'e came in. The leading gong'e bowed and said, "tell empress Chong Hua, and the emperor said: don't stay."
"Don't stay!" Zheng Chong Huadun was stiff here. She contributed such a good strategy to Li Shimin and was the most favored concubine in the harem. She thought she had a stronger relationship with Li Shimin, but the result was that she didn't stay, which meant that she couldn't conceive children at all. A concubine without children was doomed to be miserable in the palace, The splendor and wealth of the harem is only a dream in the end.
As the gate of the Chonghua hall slammed shut, Zheng Chonghua screamed in pain. After a long time, a group of gong'e bowed back.
The little mage pushed the door into the Chonghua hall and saw Zheng Chonghua lying on the soft couch with disheveled hair. Although he was gorgeous in palace clothes, he still had no energy and spirit before.
"Why does your majesty treat my concubine like this? My concubine just wants a child." Zheng Chonghua said with both eyes.
The little mage sighed and said, "hasn't your mother found that since the birth of King Cao in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the imperial concubines in the palace have no more children."
Zheng Chonghua recovered a little energy and asked, "why?"
At the beginning, Emperor Li Yuan was old and gave birth to more than a dozen children. However, Li Shimin is now in the heyday of spring and autumn, and all imperial concubines in the palace are of suitable gestational age. How can it be that no new prince or princess has been born in the palace for several years.
The little mage looked around and whispered, "Your Majesty already has fourteen sons. There is no need to add a prince."
"There's no need to add a prince!" the little mage's words sounded like a thunder in Zheng Chonghua's ear. Li Shimin already has 14 princes. She doesn't have to worry about the problem of heirs at all, that is to say, even if Zheng Chonghua is loved again, she won't give birth to a son and a half.
Is she destined to die alone in this deep palace? Zheng Chonghua shudders when he thinks about it. Now she is in a good nutmeg age, but she sees her tragic ending in the future.
"It's valuable for you, a little eunuch, to have such a vision. How can the palace give birth to a prince?" Zheng Chonghua frowned and asked.
The little mage smiled strangely and said, "only the emperor can make the empress give birth to the prince. Although the empress is favored, her status is not high. Now the body of empress Chang sun is getting worse day by day. If the empress can seize the opportunity and ascend to the post of empress Huang after the death of empress Chang sun, the emperor can make an exception."
Now he is a popular man around Zheng Chonghua. If Zheng Chonghua can ascend the throne of queen, he will certainly rise in the future, and he will not be able to reach Pound's position. At that time, his chances of success in promoting the prophecy of troubled times will greatly increase.
"Empress's throne." Zheng Chonghua's eyes brightened. Empress Chang sun's body became weaker and weaker. She was empress Chang sun's backhand. If she could take the opportunity to operate, she would have no chance to ascend the Queen's throne.
