Qihong Extra (7)
Qi Hao Extra Story (7)
In the evening, Qihao returned to Kunning Palace. This is also a habit to develop, unless there is a major event in the court. Under normal circumstances, Qihao would go to Kunning Palace for dinner every day. When I am not busy, I will also accompany the children.
Therefore, parents have a great influence on their children, and many of Qihao's habits are influenced by Yunqing and Yuxi.
Seeing Qi Hao, Tan Aoshuang stood up habitually and gave a blessing: "Your Majesty, you are here." His voice was very nasal. Obviously, I just cried.
Qihao waved everyone in the dormitory to go down, and then said: "Do you know about the draft?"
How could Tan Aoshuang not know about such a big matter.
"Don't worry, you are my first wife, brother Sheng is my eldest son, no one can pass you." This is the biggest promise Qi Hao can give.
Tan Aoshuang paused when he heard this, and then asked: "Your Majesty, Brother Sheng is already nine years old, and he can take care of things." Brother Sheng is the eldest son, and under normal circumstances, the emperor should be canonized as the crown prince after he ascended the throne . But up to now, brother Sheng is still the eldest prince, not the crown prince.
Qihao understood the meaning of Tan Aoshuang's words, shook his head and said, "It's still too young, we'll talk about it when Brother Sheng is older."
In fact, not long after Qihao ascended the throne that day, he wanted to make his brother the crown prince, but Yuxi stopped him.
Yuxi felt that brother Sheng was too young, and the crown prince was the crown prince of a country and had a heavy responsibility. Canonize him as a prince too early, and it is easy to lose his temper if he is promoted by others and cannot be controlled. If the pressure is too great, he will become unconfident. In order for Brother Sheng to grow up healthily, Yu Xi meant that it would not be too late to confer on Brother Sheng at least until he was ten years old.
Qihao knew that Yuxi was doing it for Brother Sheng's good, because he also came here like this. Without thinking too much, he agreed. Tan Aoshuang was very uneasy about this, always afraid that something might change.
Just like when Yun Qing ascended the throne, Qi Hao was not immediately conferred the crown prince. However, Qi Hao did not have this worry. Because he knew that this position would be his sooner or later, and Yunqing and Yuxi had their own considerations about not being canonized. Tan Aoshuang is uneasy, to put it bluntly, she has no sense of security.
Tan Aoshuang felt that her heart was in a panic, but she couldn't help if the emperor didn't let go: "Your Majesty, has the draft been set?"
Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Not yet, the Minister of Rites has to come up with a regulation for this matter."
Speaking of Lin Guanghe, Minister of Rites, Tan Aoshuang felt uncomfortable. This old man has been clamoring for a draft since the emperor ascended the throne.
Now, finally let him succeed.
In fact, Lin Guanghe didn't have selfish intentions in letting Qihao draft to fill the harem, but really wanted Qihao to have more heirs. There are many princes, if there is an emergency, I am not afraid that the emperor will not be succeeded in a hundred years. It's not that Lin Guanghe is worrying unfoundedly, but that there are many such things in history.
According to Yuxi, these ministers sometimes just worry about it when they are full.
After finishing speaking, Qihao looked at Tan Aoshuang and said, "I'll have to trouble you, Zitong, about the draft."
When Qihao first got married, he called Tan Aoshuang Shuang'er, and he didn't know when he changed his name to Zitong.
Tan Aoshuang smiled softly: "Your Majesty, this is the job of a concubine."
Qihao said: "I'm hungry, let them eat!" He actually hoped that Tan Aoshuang would lose his temper, and then he might not be sure about the draft. In the end, Tan Aoshuang was still so gentle and considerate.
After dinner, Qihao and Tan Aoshuang said: "Brother Sheng is already nine years old, he should not live in Kunning Palace anymore, let him move to Fuqing Palace next month!"
Fuqing Palace was Qihao's previous palace, and he lived in Fuqing Palace until he ascended the throne. It is also because Yunqing has no scruples about Yuxi alone, so Qihao can live forever. Like the former Emperor Sangong and Liuyuan, when the son grows up, he has to move out of the palace or the residence specially allocated to the prince, in order to prevent scandals between the adult prince and the concubines in the harem.
Tan Aoshuang nodded in agreement: "Okay." Fuqing Palace is less than a quarter of an hour away from Kunning Palace, so it's easy to see. Furthermore, it was the place where the emperor lived before he ascended the throne, so the meaning is different.
Qihao agrees to the draft, and Lin Guanghe is as excited as if he had been beaten. In just one day, he got the charter out.
This charter is mainly based on Yuxi's previous draft, with slight changes on this basis.
Qihao added two more after reading it. The first is that the selected show girls must be officials below the third grade, and if they are voluntary; the second is that they must be prostitutes.
For the second article, many people are speechless. This is a concubine and not a wife, so it is necessary to restrict the concubines! But this was the emperor's request, and they had no choice but to obey.
This matter was passed at the court meeting, and the time for the draft is also set in May next year. The specific matters will still be handled by the Queen at that time.
The draft is for officials above the seventh rank and below the third rank, so the herald must notify all officials in the world.
To participate in the draft, not only must you be literate and beautiful, but you must also be a direct descendant and voluntary, and then restrict the level of your father. This number will definitely not be many.
When Huang Siling got the news, he felt very strange, and asked Qiyou: "Why are the children of officials below the third rank and above the seventh rank qualified for the draft?" In this way, half of the girls from the official families in the capital were excluded.
"How can I know this, I'm not a roundworm in the stomach of the eldest brother." It's not easy for him to ask such things. Of course, he wouldn't ask either. No matter how good the brotherhood is, there are some things that should be avoided.
Huang Si Ling frowned and said: "My lord, is it inappropriate to still call the emperor the eldest brother?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. He was originally my eldest brother. As long as my elder brother doesn't tell me to change my words for a day, I won't change my words for a day. As for those pedantic ministers, they can say whatever they like. It makes me angry I’ll let them have their heads full.” If you feel that there is something wrong with what he’s doing, you can ask questions or make suggestions, and Qiyou will accept it humbly. But he can't let others gossip about his own private affairs.
As a prince, he didn't form cliques or bully men and women, so he had a bad temper. Even if the officials had bad feelings for him, they wouldn't offend him.
Huang Siling gave him a blank look: "If you don't change your temper, you don't know how many people you will offend."
Qiyou snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully: "If you offend, you will offend. Am I still afraid of offending them?" As long as he doesn't do such things as treason, he can do whatever he wants.
Huang Siling has nothing to do with Qiyou's temper. She also stopped thinking about this question and asked a question: "My lord, why did the emperor suddenly agree to the draft this time?" It was not that no officials had mentioned it before, but in the end it was nothing. Unexpectedly, this time, the emperor agreed.
Hearing this, Qiyou said with an uneasy expression: "Sister-in-law is too concerned about her status, and she doesn't care about elder brother's feelings at all."
Just because he was jealous of Yin Kangle, he pushed the unworthy Yin Tiantian up. Yin Tiantian took advantage of Qihao's walking and singing in the garden, and everyone knew what the purpose was.
The queen gave such a woman to his elder brother, where would he put his elder brother?
Huang Siling was a little puzzled: "You said the emperor doesn't like Yin Shi? If he doesn't like Yin Shi, he just refuses, so why accept it again?" It was clearly an excuse, but after all, he still couldn't resist the temptation of beauty.
"You don't understand." What a proud man his elder brother is, he must be annoyed at being so suspicious of the queen. But if it was him, he would be very angry.
Huang Si Ling said: "I don't understand. Obviously I fell in love with Yin Shi and took her in, so how could it be the Queen's fault."
Qiyou didn't want to talk more about this matter with Huang Siling: "These things have nothing to do with you, don't worry about it." He can speak freely about government affairs. But he won't talk too much about his elder brother's backyard.
"The emperor's draft, does it really have nothing to do with you and me?"
Qiyou was puzzled: "Brother, what does the draft have to do with us?"
Huang Siling looked at Qiyou, snorted coldly and said: "Maybe the emperor will reward you two beauties at that time!" It was precisely because of this worry that she paid special attention to this matter.
Qiyou laughed straight, put his arms around Huang Siling and took a sip: "I said, why do you pay so much attention to this matter, you are jealous! Don't worry, unless I ask for it myself, Eldest Brother won't be so boring to give us a gift." Beauties." Yunqing is very generous to ministers who have meritorious service, and he will reward everything from antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry from the house, but he has never rewarded beauties.
According to Yuxi, if the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, wouldn't it destroy the relationship between husband and wife if you reward a beauty. If the relationship is not harmonious and you want to take a beautiful concubine, then take it yourself. Anyway, Yuxi was determined not to allow Yunqing to reward beauties. And Yuxi's move made the wives of those meritorious ministers especially grateful. After all, the status of the beauties rewarded by the emperor and the concubines he took was not the same.
Under the influence of Yu Xi, Qi Hao has rewarded his subordinates with all kinds of rewards in the past few years, but he never rewarded beauties.
Huang Si Ling gently pushed Qi You down, pretending to be angry and said: "I'm afraid that when you see those young and beautiful beauties, you won't be able to walk."
Qiyou smiled very happily, pinched Huang Siling's cheek and said, "Don't worry, I still like you, a yellow-faced woman."
Huang Siling was so angry that she raised her fist and beat Qiyou fiercely, cursing while beating: "Who are you calling a yellow-faced woman? Ah, who are you calling a yellow-faced woman?"
Qiyou happily let Huang Siling beat him.
The husband and wife had a laughing scene, Qiyou said to Huang Siling: "Siling, if I want a woman, you can't stop me. If I don't want a woman, I won't touch a beautiful woman on the bed."
Huang Siling smiled and said: "I'm not as virtuous as the queen to arrange women for you." If Qiyou really wanted to take a concubine, she couldn't stop her, but she would definitely not take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband.
Qiyou really likes Huang Siling's jealousy. Be jealous, show that you care about him. If you are not jealous, like his third sister-in-law, then this couple will have no fun doing it.
Huang Siling was a little puzzled: "Sister-in-law used to be very smart, how could she not understand such a simple truth? Is there something else going on here?" If elder brother really fell in love with Yin Tiantian, how could There will be no sound for such a long time.
Qiyou said: "Don't worry about these things, just take good care of brother Xu." Tan Aoshuang's stupid things should be reminded by the Tan family, and he will not care.
Huang Siling nodded.
