Chapter 191 My Queen Zheng is beautiful and virtuous, I want to accept Master Li as my harem
Chapter 191, My Queen Zheng is beautiful and virtuous, I want to accept Master Li as my harem
At this time, in front of the gate of Longde Palace, Master Li, who was wrapped in a simple and elegant Taoist robe, leaned on the railing with her graceful body. She stared at the royal road in front of her for a long time without blinking, and did not wait for Zhao Lang in her heart to come to see her. Master Li
, looking through the autumn water...
Suddenly, she saw a group of more than a hundred people from Zhao Guan's family appearing on the royal road ahead, heading towards the harem where she was...
Li Shishi, who was extremely beautiful and the most beautiful person in the country, blushed slightly. He felt that if Zhao Guan's family saw him waiting so impatiently at the door, wouldn't he be made fun of by Zhao Yun?
Master Li hurriedly retreated into Longde Palace and ordered the maid to quickly close the palace door, but still left a crack in the door.
Li Shishi opened the crack in the door to look at the imperial chariot of Zhao Guan's family, and slowly approached Longde Palace...
Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, could see clearly because he was sitting high up and could see far away. He had already clearly seen Li Shishi's little actions before he went out to wait, then shyly returned to Longde Palace, and even closed the palace door.
At this time, Zhao Ji raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. It seems that my confidante is also very anxious!
Huh? Zhao Ji feels that using this word is slightly inappropriate.
It should be that Li Shishi, who is affectionate and affectionate, misses me very much because he has not seen me for the past month since I personally went to the southeast to pacify Fangla, right?!
When Zhao Ji's imperial chariot was walking on the royal road of the harem and approaching Longde Palace, the eunuch Liang Shicheng ran to the dragon chariot and asked in a low voice:
"I dare to ask the official if he will stop driving to Longde Palace?"
Zhao Ji said without squinting: "I want to go to Yanfu Palace."
Yanfu Palace was expanded in the first year of Chongning (1102 AD), the original owner of Song Huizong.
Yanfu Palace is a relatively independent palace area, outside the palace city in the north. Yanfu Palace is the entertainment place for the emperor and queen, and it was not large in scale at first. After Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he was not satisfied with the palace garden of Yanfu Palace.
It was small, so it was expanded and built extensively.
After the expansion of Yanfu Palace, it became elegant and comfortable, and to the east is Genyue. The original owner of Zhao Ji's body, Song Huizong, spent most of his time in Yanfu Palace.
Liang Shicheng blushed when he heard that Zhao Guan's family had been driving to Longde Palace where Li Shishi lived and were going to Yanfu Palace to the north of the harem.
Liang Shicheng felt that he wanted to flatter Zhao Guan's family this time, but he didn't guess Zhao Guan's holy intention correctly.
At this time, Master Li looked at the Zhao Guan family on the dragon chariot. Accompanied by a group of eunuchs and maids, they did not stop at Longde Palace, but passed directly by the gate of Yanfu Palace and walked from the imperial road.
Go north.
Li Shishi saw through the crack in the door that the royal chariot of Zhao Guan's family had gone away. She turned back with great disappointment and ordered the palace maid:
"Close the palace door tightly and fasten the bolt."
Then, Master Li was extremely disappointed, his charming face was like frost, and he quickly retreated into Longde Palace.
At this time, Master Li's master Wen Yizhenjun was meditating on the futon with his eyes closed.
Wen Yi Zhenjun heard the slight footsteps of Master Li retreating into Longde Palace, but she did not open her eyes.
Master Li walked up to Zhenjun Wen Yi. After thinking about it again and again, he knelt down and said:
"Master, my disciple wants to really become a monk."
Wen Yi Zhenjun, who is more than a hundred years old, has white hair and a childish face. She slowly opened her eyes with sharp eyes, looked at Master Li, and said:
"Taizhen, my teacher observes that your ordinary heart still exists and your love in the world of mortals is not over. You should not escape into Buddhism just because you are angry for a moment. What's more, the person you have formed a relationship with is today and definitely cannot be like the husband of ordinary people.
He only loves his wife.
What's more, even among the wealthy people, some still have one wife and multiple concubines, let alone the family of Emperor Zhao Guan of the Song Dynasty?
Therefore, Taizhen, since you have formed this love and karma, it is naturally up to you to resolve this love and karma, and you must not make a wrong decision that you will regret for the rest of your life just because of a moment of anger."
Master Li seemed to understand, but she was smart enough to realize that Master Wenyi really didn't want to take her out of the palace to become a monk.
"Alas!" Master Li sighed without saying anything.
She thought about it, and it seemed that what Master Wen Yi said was right. The Zhao Guan family was the head of a country and had to take care of everything. There were so many concubines in the harem that it was absolutely impossible for him to be favored exclusively by himself.
Master Li had no choice but to sit on the futon beside Master Wen Yi, closed his eyes, and began to meditate...
She wanted to learn from Master Wen Yi to see through the world of mortals and be quiet and do nothing, but she couldn't do it. Her body was sitting quietly, but her mind was moving like a rabbit.
…
At this time, Zhao Ji had arrived at Yanfu Palace and summoned Queen Zheng, as well as all the famous concubines, concubines, concubines, Guiyi, Shuyi, Wanyi, Shunyi, Shunrong, Shurong, Wanrong and Zhaoyi in the harem.
, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan, Jieyu, talented people, noble people, beauties, country ladies, county ladies, and madams, a total of one hundred and thirty-nine.
Zhao Ji took a look at the one hundred and thirty-nine women left to me by the original owner of this body, Song Huizong. Objectively speaking, none of them were ugly.
One is more beautiful than the other, one is younger than the other, one is whiter and more beautiful than the other, one is hotter than the other...
Zhao Ji was a little dazzled by what he saw, but compared to Li Shishi, the oiran of Fanlou, it seemed that he was still slightly less charming than he could describe.
In fact, Zhao Ji knows that in addition to the famous women in the harem in front of me, there are tens of thousands of maids in this harem who can be lucky if I want...
Zhao Ji, who is sitting high on the dragon chair, knows that these one hundred and thirty-nine famous people were all favored by Song Huizong, the original owner of my body.
The original owner, Song Huizong, was blessed with more than just these women, but some of them had no status; there were also concubines whom he favored, but they died early due to illness due to the limitations of ancient medical conditions.
For example, the current Queen Zheng is the second Queen.
The first wife of the original owner of Zhao Ji's body was Fanying, the queen of Wang Zao, the governor of Texas, whom the original owner married when he was 17 years old when he was still King Duan.
Empress Wang is the biological mother of the current crown prince Zhao Huan. Empress Wang is plain in appearance and frugal in nature. She will not please the original owner Song Huizong. Although she is the main palace, she is not favored.
Queen Wang died of illness on September 26, the second year of Daguan, twelve years ago. Queen Wang was only twenty-five years old.
At this time, Queen Zheng led hundreds of people including concubines and concubines to pay homage to Zhao Ji...
"Long live my emperor..."
Zhao Jidao: "The queen and all the concubines and ladies, please get down quickly. The queen will give you a seat."
After Empress Zheng thanked her, she sat down with Zhao Ji's head bowed.
Zhao Ji looked at Queen Zheng beside him.
Although Empress Zheng is already forty-one years old this year, she still has the charm of a mature woman.
Queen Zheng was born with fair skin, beautiful features, and delicate features. She looked like she was in her thirties.
"Tsk, tsk!" Zhao Ji sighed in his heart: Alas! It's a pity that I don't have Cao Cao's interest in recruiting women...
Today's Empress Zheng, although she has gone through many vicissitudes of time, her figure is still slender and graceful. She is thin where she should be and plump where she should be. Because of her good maintenance, there are almost no wrinkles on Empress Zheng's pretty face.
Through the remaining memories in his mind, Zhao Ji recalled every detail of the acquaintance between Song Huizong, the original owner of this body, and Empress Zheng beside him. Using the term of later modern society, it should be called "free love."
Moreover, there are not only two protagonists in this "free love", but also the original owner Zhao Ji, who was still King Duan at that time, and the Zheng family and the Wang family, a total of three people.
Although this "free love" involves two heroines, it is definitely not a love triangle.
Instead, Zheng and Wang willingly had a romantic love affair with Zhao Ji, who was still King Duan at the time...
Before Empress Zheng became a queen, when she was still a young girl, she was originally an escort (internal maid) in the Empress Dowager's palace. At that time, there was also a young lady named Queen who was also an escort in the Empress Dowager's palace.
When they were young, both Zheng and Wang were beautiful, delicate, proficient in writing, and good at speaking.
When the original owner of Zhao Ji was still King Duan, whenever he went to Cide Palace to pay his respects, the Empress Dowager Xiang would always order the two girls from the Zheng family and Wang family in the palace to serve as escorts (maids-in-waiting) to receive and accompany Prince Duan Zhao Ji's left and right.
Zhao Ji's body is already tall, handsome, gentle, and extremely talented.
This made the two young girls, Zheng and Wang, who were living in the palace and were in puberty, feel the love of adolescence. They were very respectful to King Duan and served him very carefully...
At the same time, their beauty, talent, knowledge and conduct also endeared them to the original owner Zhao Ji...
As time went by, the frivolous Duan Wang Zhao Ji became a companion to two beautiful girls, Zheng and Wang. They inevitably flirted with each other first...
Then, verbal teasing...
Next, move your hands and feet...
Empress Dowager Xiang was aware of this, and when Zhao Ji came to the throne, she followed the trend and assigned the two girls in her palace to the Zheng family and the Wang family, and gave them to Zhao Ji as talents...
Zheng 'since entering the palace, he is good at reading books, can control his compositions and compositions, and the emperor loves his talents'.
Not only was Zheng outstanding in appearance, but she was also able to help the original owner, Song Huizong, handle memorials...
Therefore, the original owner Song Huizong favored the Zheng family more. Within a few years, the Zheng family went from being a talented person to a beauty, then to a Wanyi, then to a virtuous concubine, then to a Shu concubine, and finally to a noble concubine.
Nine years ago, after the death of Queen Wang, Zhao Ji's original owner, Song Huizong, canonized the imperial concubine Zheng as the queen in the first year of Zhenghe (1111 AD).
Empress Zheng gave birth to one son and five daughters to Zhao Ji's original owner Song Huizong. It can be seen that Zheng was deeply favored by Song Huizong when she was young.
However, Zheng's son Zhao Tong (ranked second) died the day after he was born.
Empress Zheng was not only dignified and beautiful, but also very virtuous and virtuous.
After Zheng was canonized as queen, Zhao Ji's original owner, Song Huizong, wanted to customize clothes for Zheng. However, Zheng said to Song Huizong: "The world is in a state of exhaustion and the state treasury has insufficient funds. Making phoenix crowns and costumes costs a lot of money and wastes people and money."
If I want to be a royal concubine, I only need to change my clothes when I am a noble concubine..."
Empress Zheng also begged Song Huizong to exempt her from the honor guard when traveling and reduce the number of honor guards. Zhao Ji's original owner Song Huizong agreed to her request.
Empress Zheng had a cousin named Zheng Juzhong, who was born as a Jinshi and served successively as a minister of residence and a bachelor of Hanlin in Shizhong.
Because Empress Zheng was a concubine, she was very favored when she was a noble concubine. Therefore, Zheng Juzhong, who was often advertised as a concubine [concubine], won the favor of Zhao Ji's original owner Song Huizong. From the first year of Daguan (1107 AD) to the fourth year, Zheng Juzhong
Zheng Juzhong's official title was Tongzhi, who knew the Privy Council and other important military and political positions.
When Zheng became queen, she told Song Huizong not to let her natal brothers participate in the government. If the official family insisted on appointing them, then she would have to become a concubine.
Therefore, Zhao Ji's original owner Song Huizong dismissed Zheng Juzhong from his important military and political positions.
Two years later, in the third year of Zhenghe (1113 AD), Zhao Ji's original owner, Song Huizong, restored Zheng Juzhong to his post, and appointed Zheng Juzhong as Privy Councilor again...
After Empress Zheng returned to the palace from her natal family, she admonished Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty: "Zheng Juzhong had a close relationship with his father. People said that his father and Zheng Juzhong used power for personal gain, accepted bribes, and asked the officials to remove him from office and appoint the imperial censor.
Report and supervise..."
At that time, the original owner of Zhao Ji not only doted on Empress Zheng, but also doted on Zheng Juzhong, who only followed the Holy Orders and was good at obeying the Holy Will. Therefore, he did not listen to Empress Zheng's advice to kill relatives for righteousness...
Empress Zheng not only has strict requirements for herself and her family, but she can also be a mother to the world.
On the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month in the third year of Zhenghe (AD 1113), the favored Liu passed away shortly after she was promoted to a noble concubine. During her lifetime, Concubine Liu was ill and had planted several banana plants in the courtyard with her own hands. At that time, she said,
I'm afraid I won't be able to see these bananas anymore when they grow up.'
The attendants heard this and hurriedly reported to Song Huizong. Song Huizong didn't care at first. Unexpectedly, two days later, Concubine Liu was seriously ill. When Huizong went to visit, the 27-year-old Concubine Liu had already passed away.
Human world...

At that time, Song Huizong was so grieved that he gave the concubine the four-character posthumous title "Mingda Yiwen", compiled her life story into poetry, and asked the Yuefu to compose music
On September 20th of the same year, she was registered as the late concubine Liu of "Mingda Yiwen", and her posthumous title was "Queen Mingda".
Queen Mingda Liu gave birth to three sons and three daughters for Song Huizong during her lifetime. Her six children were still young when she died.
Empress Zheng took the initiative to request Song Huizong that she was willing to personally raise the Liu family's underage children. Song Huizong was deeply impressed by Empress Zheng's virtuousness.
Among the young sons and daughters of the Liu family raised by Empress Zheng, there was Emperor Maode who was the most favored by Zhao Ji's original owner Song Huizong (when Emperor Maode came of age, she married Cai Jing's son).
Traveler Zhao Ji knows that after the disgrace of Jingkang in history, Queen Zheng was one of the few women who was not insulted by the Jin army generals. When the Jin general Wanyan Zonghan saw the captured Queen Zheng, he was deeply impressed by Queen Zheng's behavior
Elegant, noble in words and deeds, not daring to blaspheme, he also promised Empress Zheng to release all the captured Zheng family members.
Zhao Ji looked at her with affection and admiration, and was presented with Queen Zheng who was sitting with her head hanging down.
Empress Zheng noticed that Zhao Guanjia was looking at her with burning eyes, and she lowered her head shyly.
The traveler Zhao Ji said to Zheng: "I have decided that the whole country should promote the trend of frugality. I and the concubines in the harem should set an example first to save the country's expenses, which can be used for state affairs such as relief for the victims and military pay, so as to strengthen our country.
The Song Dynasty was free from bullying by foreign enemies."
Zhao Ji told the queen and concubines clearly that he was not afraid of spreading the news.
Zhao Ji asked again: "Queen, what do you think?"
Empress Zheng stood up and knelt down and said: "I agree with the government's emphasis on frugality. Since ancient times, all wise kings and saints have advocated frugality. I would like to promote frugality in the harem..."
In the harem, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-eight famous concubines, ranging from concubines to wives. Although they all have their own concerns, if they create a trend of frugality in the harem, won't they have to live a hard life?
?
However, when they saw that this trend of advocating frugality was approved by the Emperor Zhao Guan's family, and by Empress Zheng, the empress of the world, most of them kowtowed and expressed their approval against their will, and shouted in unison:
"I wish to practice frugality..."
"Official sage, long live my emperor."
"The queen is virtuous and lives a thousand years."
Zhao Ji was very happy to see that all the concubines in the harem were willing to practice frugality. He dismissed all the concubines, leaving only Empress Zheng, and talked with her about wanting to make Li Taizhen a concubine to fill the harem...
Empress Zheng answered enlightenedly and said:
"The official family wants to recruit new people to fill the harem and spread the branches and leaves of the official family, and I will naturally be happy.
However, I think it might be inappropriate for the official family to accept Taoist nun Li Taizhen as a member of the harem."
Zhao Ji's face was as dark as water and he asked: "What's wrong?"
[PS, the emperor’s harem is very important. Only when the harem is stable can the emperor have no worries.
