Chapter 575: Concubines enter the palace and Li Yunrui leaves the palace
After the empress was selected, the list of candidates for the four concubines and nine concubines also came out one after another.
Lin Waner, one of the original candidates for the queen, was named a noble concubine and lived in Changchun Palace.
Ye Ling'er was named Concubine De and lived in Zhongcui Palace.
Originally, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother were angry with Ye Ling'er and wanted to demote her to the ninth concubine, or even let her lose the election altogether.
In the end, it was Hong Sixiang who persuaded him, saying that there was a great master in the Ye family, Ye Liuyun, who needed to be won over, so he was reluctantly rewarded with a concubine.
There was also Mei Ruohua, daughter of Mei Zhili, who was named Concubine Xian and lived in Shufang Palace.
Mei Zhili was a confidant of Crown Prince Li Chengqian. After Su Mingzhe ascended the throne, he was transferred to serve as Minister of Dali Temple.
In this election, Mei Zhili also signed up her eldest daughter.
Considering Mei Zhili's reputation as one of the nine ministers, the Queen Mother gave Mei Ruohua a concubine position.
The last concubine position was given to Wang Tong'er, the daughter of Wang Zhikun, the governor of Yanjing, who lived in Bingquan Palace.
(In this story, Wang Tong'er married the eldest prince Li Chengjiang and became a concubine. Now he is taken into the harem by Su Mingzhe ahead of schedule.)
Wang Zhikun guarded Yanjing, led troops and horses, and defended the Northern Qi and Dongyi at the same time. He was also regarded as a high-power feudal minister.
For Wang Zhikun's sake, the Queen Mother also gave Wang Tong'er a concubine position.
In addition, the beautiful girls who can be selected as the ninth concubine also have good family backgrounds.
Some are noble daughters with military honors, some are the legitimate daughters of famous families, and there are also princesses from small princes and small countries who are attached to Nanqing.
It can be said that choosing a queen is based on comprehensive considerations.
The selection of the four concubines and nine concubines was all based on human nature and sophistication.
Mid October.
Four concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seven beauties, and seventy-two talented people entered the palace before the queen.
That night, Su Mingzhe first went to Changchun Palace to stay overnight.
Changchun Palace is on the west side of Yaohua Palace, close to Yanfu Palace, where the imperial concubine Lin Wan'er lives.
When Su Mingzhe came in, he walked in without letting the eunuch announce him.
In the dormitory, a girl wearing a white double-breasted skirt was facing the long glass mirror of the dressing table, quietly combing her long hair.
Perhaps sensing the man's fiery eyes, Lin Wan'er suddenly turned around and saw the man.
When Su Mingzhe and Lin Wan'er looked at each other, they were slightly startled.
Lin Wan'er's eyes are very spiritual, her eyes are clear and sparkling, her facial features are also delicate and beautiful, her fair face without makeup is pink and delicate, and she looks like the person in the painting has stepped out.
"cousin."
Under the gaze of the man, Lin Wan'er's eyes began to dodge, and she did not dare to look at the man again. It was this shy expression, coupled with the romantic charm of her body, that made Su Mingzhe unable to help himself, and walked away step by step.
past.
"Wan'er."
Su Mingzhe has met Lin Wan'er several times since time travel, but tonight's Lin Wan'er was obviously more charming.
"cousin."
Lin Wan'er waited for Su Mingzhe to come to her side, and then she remembered the knowledge that her nanny had taught her, and she panicked and wanted to get up and kowtow.
Su Mingzhe didn't give Lin Wan'er a chance to react. He picked her up and placed her on the bed.
"cousin……"
Lin Wan'er was a little flustered and wanted to tell Su Mingzhe that it was her turn to undress him.
However, Su Mingzhe's fingers were very nimble. With three strokes, five divided by two, he had already peeled Lin Wan'er into a little white sheep.
...The palace maid next to me saw this and quickly came over and put down the tent.
Not long after, the bed began to tremble rhythmically.
When the maids who were doing the wedding heard the noise, they lowered their heads shyly, but did not dare to leave.
The eldest princess Li Yunrui had already warned her that the maids should serve her from beginning to end and not let Princess Chen make any mistakes.
A crazy night.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe looked at the wrinkled little face in his arms and felt guilty.
I was a little too excited last night, and I actually forgot that Lin Wan'er was delicate and frail.
If it hadn't been for the warning from several palace maids, an accident would have almost occurred.
Tiptoeing out of bed, Su Mingzhe stopped the palace maid from waking up Lin Wan'er:
"Wan'er is not feeling well, let her rest for a while. After a while, I will go to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to say goodbye. There is no need for her to go and say hello."
Su Mingzhe asked the palace maids to take care of Lin Wan'er carefully, while he went to the Empress Dowager first to say hello, and also helped Lin Wan'er take a 'sick leave'.
After returning to the imperial study, Su Mingzhe was handling government affairs. During a short break, he saw that Eunuch Hou seemed to be constipated and kept stealing glances at him. He couldn't help laughing and cursing:
"Lao Hou, you, this old guy, are starting to act unruly. If you have something to say, if you don't have anything else, don't be an eyesore here. Who are you going to show to by putting on this expression?"
"Your Majesty, you have everything to do, but this old slave has caused you trouble."
Eunuch Hou served Su Mingzhe for more than two months, and he also understood that his master was really kind-hearted, so he smiled naively, flattered him, and then told the story:
"Last night, another palace maid was killed with a cane in the Guangxin Palace. I heard that when the palace maid got up at night, she woke up the eldest princess who had finally fallen asleep..."
When Su Mingzhe heard Eunuch Hou's words, a trace of helplessness and confusion flashed in his eyes.
This Li Yunrui is very beautiful and deserves to be the most beautiful woman in Nanqing and Kyoto.
However, her acting style is quite "coquettish", similar to "Chen Ajiao", the first wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history.
After Su Mingzhe ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he tried to sneak into Guangxin Palace quietly several times and take her in.
But because he was worried about Li Yunrui's crazy personality, Su Mingzhe could only hold back his anger.
"This woman cannot stay in the palace any longer."
Although Su Mingzhe missed his old friendship, he was not hesitant. He frowned and took out a memorial handed over by Chen Pingping from the royal eucalyptus.
This memorial contains the details of the investigation into the 'Pingnan King's Rebellion'.
Among them, the Ming family colluded with pirates and internal treasury to embezzle 10 million taels of silver in more than ten years.
Among them, more than 50 million taels have been sent to Pingnan King Li Chengze.
More than half of the rest were acquired by the Ming family and turned into acres of land, real estate, shops, fleets and other family properties.
At the end of the memorial, Chen Pingping applied to investigate Li Yunrui to get rid of this evil cause.
After Su Mingzhe received this memorial, he has been thinking about how to deal with Li Yunrui.
Now it seems that this memorial should go where it should go.
By noon.
Su Mingzhe rushed to Yanshou Palace, greeted the Empress Dowager, and handed over Chen Pingping's memorial:
…"Grandma, there's something I want to tell you."
The Empress Dowager looked at the memorial, and her face suddenly turned gloomy:
"You all stand down."
"Here!"
Upon seeing this, Hong Sixiang withdrew all the maids and eunuchs from the Yanshou Palace.
"Gan'er, is this true? Your aunt, has she really been colluding with Prince Pingnan?"
The old lady couldn't believe it, so she had to confirm it again.
If this is true, then Li Yunrui's scheming is too deep.
It has been hidden for so many years.
"I can't believe it either, so I want to ask my grandma to help me ask my aunt and see what she says."
Su Mingzhe maintained a gentle smile and said:
"In addition, no matter what the reason is, it is inconvenient for my aunt to keep the financial rights of the internal treasury."
When the Queen Mother heard Su Mingzhe say these words, she suddenly understood.
My grandson should have known about this for a long time, but he endured it for more than a month before telling himself that the real purpose was probably for the inner treasury's financial rights.
Although the Empress Dowager clearly understood Su Mingzhe's purpose of coming here, she did not intend to speak for Li Yunrui.
After all, the person in front of me is his grandson and the Emperor of Daqing.
There is a difference between intimacy and distance. The Empress Dowager must be towards Su Mingzhe.
"Qian'er, you are right, your aunt is indeed not suitable to be in charge of the internal treasury anymore, but do you have a successor now?"
"Yes."qqxsnew
When Su Mingzhe saw that the Empress Dowager supported him, he did not hesitate and spoke out the candidates he had already thought about very simply:
"My grandson's queen is the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs. I believe that if I leave the inner treasury to her, I will be able to manage it better than my aunt."
"Qian'er, just think about this seriously."
The Queen Mother did not expect that Su Mingzhe thought so highly of Fan Ruoruo, but she also thought highly of Fan Ruoruo, so she nodded in acquiescence and said:
"Do you plan to do this now or wait until after the wedding?"
"My grandson is thinking about asking my aunt to hand over the financial rights of the inner treasury first, and let the Internal Prison Department clean it up before handing it over to Ruoruo."
Su Mingzhe stated his plan. After hearing this, the Queen Mother also nodded:
"This is a good arrangement. Don't worry, I will ask your aunt to hand over the financial rights of the inner treasury today!"
"Thank you grandma."
Su Mingzhe knew that the old lady was also a powerful person. When she agreed, he chatted for a few more words and then left.
That afternoon, Li Yunrui was called to Yanshou Palace by the Empress Dowager and slapped twice.
Subsequently, Hong Sixiang led the Internal Supervision Department and took over the financial rights of the internal treasury.
In the feudal dynasty where "grace comes from the top".
In theory, the entire dynasty belonged to the emperor alone.
Su Mingzhe wanted Li Yunrui to hand over his internal financial rights, so Li Yunrui had to hand it over.
What's more, Li Yunrui committed such a heinous crime.
That night, Su Mingzhe stayed at the Bingquan Palace of Princess Shu and Tong'er.
the next day.
Eunuch Hou reported that the Internal Supervision Office has begun to accept the financial rights of the internal treasury.
Su Mingzhe immediately issued an order to expand the royal courtyard where Princess Chen lived and turn it into Princess Yongtao's Mansion.
Li Yunrui was just kicked out of the palace.
The reason why Su Mingzhe wanted to 'drive' Li Yunrui out of the palace was not only to make it easier for him to steal incense at night, but also to send a signal to the outside world.
This is like a woman holding flowers early in the morning on February 15th.
These women are sending a signal:
We had a date last night, the night was sultry.
Now that the Internal Supervisory Office has accepted the financial rights of the inner treasury, Su Mingzhe 'expelled' Li Yunrui from the palace.
He just wanted to send a signal to the civil and military officials gathered by Li Yunrui to let them sever their relationship with Li Yunrui as soon as possible before they could find fault with themselves.
At night.
Su Mingzhe came to Changchun Palace again.
