Extra 4: Make Your Wife a Concubine

The emperor has given his word and decree, so how can there be any reason to change it? This was because he was sizing up his relationship with the emperor, and even the emperor wanted to take advantage of it.

Earlier, Princess Liyang secretly sought out the Princess Chang, which had already made the emperor furious, and her patience with Queen Ning was broken. She still wants to see the emperor? When the country was first established, the emperor was busy with political affairs every day, and he felt that the remaining time was not enough to spend time with the empress. He had no time to see her.

No matter how smart a person is, once he is in the presence of power, his mind will not be clear.

Yin Huaixi twitched the corner of his mouth: "You go there in person, and they are given three days to move out of the palace and live in the palace courtyard given by me. How can a former empress live in the middle palace?"

Although he and Yaoyao do not live in Yikun Palace, they plan to eat and live together in Chengqian Palace, like ordinary couples, but Yikun Palace is the place of the middle palace, and whether they live there or not is the honor of Yaoyao. Let others occupy the magpie's nest.

…

It has been three days since the emperor's imperial edict was issued.

Mrs. Ning of Rongguo lived peacefully in Yikun Palace, taking care of flowers and grass every day, and she was very leisurely.

However, Princess Qiuli, who lived in Yikun Palace, was not in such a wonderful mood.

She had been raised in the palace as a legitimate princess since she was a child. When her aunt wanted to arrange for her to become Emperor Zhaoyong's concubine, she was not happy about it.

It was for Emperor Zhaoyong and his son that the Ningguo Duke's mansion suffered the disaster of annihilation.

The aunt also tried her best to support Emperor Zhaoyong to ascend the throne.

Emperor Zhaoyong wanted to express his gratitude to Duke Ningguo and his aunt for their efforts, so he would grant her the title of Cai Cai.

But the queen mother persuaded her: "The marriage between King Wu Mu and Princess Shao Yichang was given by the Queen Mother. The three books and six etiquette were more than half completed. Marriage is not a trivial matter. At this stage, how can there be any reason to regret the marriage?! "

She was unconvinced: "Isn't King Wu Mu going to change the dynasty? Then there is no need to respect the previous Queen Mother's decree. If you can't regret the marriage, why can't you make your wife a concubine? Anyway, they didn't even do the marriage. They said they would surrender [the wife], It’s better to praise her. This is not the case in history. Queen Mother, you supported the emperor to ascend the throne, and your hard work has made great achievements..."

"Shut up," Queen Ning looked solemn and stopped her words: "The Queen Mother has a reputation for virtue and has always been kind to King Zhou Li and his son. King Wu Mu must also be grateful for his kindness at any time and cannot be disobedient. There is no room for marriage. .”

"In short, I don't want to be a concubine," Princess Liyang was still very unwilling. She curled her lips and said with an unhappy face: "The imperial concubine is also a concubine. When she meets the queen, she has to bow down. Who is Yu Youyao? She deserves it. I pray? Is it possible that a mere foreign minister’s daughter wants me to be subordinate to her and be trampled under her feet for the rest of my life? Where have I ever suffered such injustice before?”

Queen Ning sighed slightly: "I don't want to wrong you, but when King Wu Mu and Princess Chang became friends, they were childhood sweethearts and shared weal and woe. Their relationship was very deep; Princess Chang had a reputation for virtue and virtue. It has been passed down to the world, and the throne belongs to everyone; the Yu family is full of loyal people, and it is also very famous among the literati in the world; the emperor pacified Beidi, and Princess Shao Yichang's maternal family also played an important role, no matter how you look at it, Yu Youyao is the perfect candidate for the back position."

What does Ningguo Gongfu have?

She was just relying on the new emperor to live, otherwise she wouldn't have planned so painstakingly.

All said and done, Yu Youyao was still doing bad things.

Without Yu Youyao's reputation as a virtuous man, and without Xie's wealth, which rivals other countries' wealth, to stabilize the situation in the north, how could King Wu Mu easily pacify the north?

As long as it was later, she would be able to plan to help the fourth prince ascend the throne, and then marry Li Yang to a general with a large number of soldiers. With the military power in her hand, she would be able to hold the new emperor firmly in her hands and enjoy the title of Queen Mother forever. respect.

After all, the situation is stronger than the people.

No matter how much thought he put, under Yin Huaixi's ambition, he could only abandon his troops to save his chariot.

Although she was dissatisfied, Princess Liyang still accepted the arrangement and went to Xiangping City under the arrangement of Queen Ning.

When the capital was decided, Princess Liyang returned to the capital and moved into Yikun Palace. She originally planned to take advantage of the fact that Princess Shao Yichang did not return to the capital, so she could come to a nearby building first.

By the time Princess Shao Yichang returns to the capital, everything is a foregone conclusion and she can no longer control it.

Princess Liyang's calculations were rattling, and she also tried every possible means to find various opportunities, hoping to create a chance to meet Emperor Yongzhao by chance.

But she didn't expect that she would have no chance to get close to Emperor Zhaoyong.

The queen mother also made excuses to see Emperor Zhaoyong again and again, trying to create opportunities for her and Emperor Zhaoyong, but Eunuch Zhu refused because the emperor was busy with state affairs.

After dragging Yu Youyao to Beijing, Emperor Zhaoyong simply did not return to the palace and moved into the Princess Chang's Mansion without any scruples. He also 'moved' the Qinzheng Palace into the Princess Princess' Mansion.

Until Yu Youyao was enthroned, she was not able to see Emperor Zhaoyong.

Once, she was really unconvinced and went to Chengqian Palace to ask for an audience with Yu Youyao. She wanted to meet Emperor Yongzhao openly and openly in the name of acquaintance with Yu Youyao.

However, they were blocked by the guards of Chengqian Palace: "The Emperor has an order that no one from Yikun Palace is allowed to approach Chengqian Palace. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed without mercy."

She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground on the spot, asked the palace attendants around her to support her, and fled.

The next day, we waited for the imperial edict from Emperor Zhaoyong.

The queen mother was given the title of Madam Rongguo and was given a mansion outside the palace.

She named Princess Qiuli.

Her title of 'mother' also became aunt.

"Aunt, what should we do now?" Princess Qiuli doesn't want to leave the palace. She has lived in the palace since she was a child and is used to living aloof. "I can't even see the emperor..."

Mrs. Rongguo accidentally cut off the bud of a spring camellia: "Now you know you are in a hurry? You finally made me grow up."

Princess Qiuli lowered her head.

"At the beginning, I sent you to Xiangping City in the hope that you could make good friends with Princess Chang. No matter what happens in the future, it will always be the same way. Who would have thought that you are so impatient. Princess Chang comes from a noble family and has the most temperamental temper. Can you be called a 'princess' in name only? I don't think twice about it. How can your scheming compare to the princess who has been living under her stepmother since she was a child? She left as the daughter of a foreign minister. To this day, both in terms of mind and city, he is enough to rival Emperor Zhaoyong.”

Yin Huaixi is arrogant and arrogant, and not everyone can fall in his eyes.

She was not defeated by Yin Huaixi.

But Yu Youyao.

If Yu Youyao had not promoted sweet potato cultivation and encouraged silkworm rearing in the north, which alleviated the dilemma of material shortage in the north, King Wu Mu would not have been able to escape the control of the gentry so easily. Without Yu Youyao's promotion of green manure and animal husbandry technology in the north, Yin Huaixi would not have He had the confidence to raise an army and attack the north, all the way to Monan.

Without the financial support of the Xie Mansion, which is as rich as any other country, the drought and snowstorms in the north would not have been able to survive safely, which brought the cohesion of the north to its peak.

Subsequently, the population in the north increased, showing an unprecedented prosperity.

All this created a strong opportunity for Yin Huaixi to pacify Beidi.
