In order to be able to be in charge as soon as possible, Li Qiming got married at the age of fourteen, and married the Qi family, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. After the wedding, the regent king and several auxiliary ministers quickly handed over their rights. Although there were some disturbances, Li Qiming successfully took back all his rights and became the real lord of the world!
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Qicheng went to Dao Zhezi, passed the throne of King Yan to his eldest son, and then invited Li Su to travel south of the Yangtze River. Of course, Princess An He and Xiao Zhenshu and his wife also went together.
In fact, Li Qicheng took them along impatiently. But Li Su said that if she didn't take them with her, she wouldn't go. After all, words are scary.
Li Qicheng had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
Princess Anhe was very happy, and before leaving, she went to the palace to bid farewell to her eighteenth uncle.
Li Qiming arranged a dozen guards for her, under the pretense that they were to protect Anhe Princess, but everyone knew what the real purpose was.
Everyone thought that Li Qicheng would object, but Li Qicheng just glanced at the guards casually, and then ran to Li Su to show his courtesy.
Li Su didn't say a word either, this Li Qiming was a bit too thoughtful. Everyone has seen Li Qicheng's performance in the past few years, but he is still not at ease. Being so suspicious may not be a sign of longevity. But anyway, everything is over, Li Qiming took charge smoothly, the Yong'an Hou Mansion was safe and sound, and Li Qicheng lived well.
This is great.
In the past few years of getting along, Li Su has some feelings for Li Qicheng. Of course, it is not love, but friendship and family affection. She didn't want to see Li Qicheng stay in the capital and be suspected and jealous, so she simply pretended that she wanted to go around and coaxed Li Qicheng to leave the capital with her. Coupled with these eyes and ears, the little emperor should be able to rest assured at this time!
The only thing she was worried about now was Si Qin. The little emperor got married, but he didn't let Siqin out of the palace. Siqin's current status is not up or down, which is very embarrassing.
But Ke Siqin took it very seriously. Occasionally, when I meet a few times, I only say that everything is fine, so that I don't miss her. This time when she left Beijing, Siqin was unable to see her off in person. It is said that His Majesty was ill and she was taking care of him. However, Siqin ordered someone to send some banknotes and a message, telling her to pay attention to her health and have a smooth journey.
Li Qicheng and Li Su arrived at Tongzhou Wharf in a carriage, boarded a boat, and traveled southward along the Grand Canal. If they encountered beautiful scenery, they would stop the boat and board the boat for sightseeing.
Stop and go all the way, have a lot of fun.
Even though they left the capital, they still received news from the capital continuously. On the contrary, the same is true in the capital.
Three months after Li Qiming's wedding, Empress Qi became pregnant, and nine months later, Empress gave birth. Li Qiming was very happy, pardoned the world, and appointed the eldest son who was still in his infancy as the crown prince!
Immediately afterwards, Li Qiming decreed that the niece and grand-niece of the Marquis of Yong'an, the Queen, was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine.
Li Su was shocked. Isn't the niece of Marquis of Yong'an, Mrs. Wang, Siqin? Siqin became a noble concubine
Li Su and Xiao Zhenshu looked at each other without saying a word.
Princess Anhe started to study the issue of seniority with her fingers, "Susu and Uncle Qi belong to the same generation, Uncle Seven is my Uncle Seven, Husband is Susu's cousin, Siqin is Husband's niece, Your Majesty is mine." Uncle Eighteen..." What a mess, why does she feel that her brain is not enough!
"Don't worry, that guy is shrewd. He purposely waited until after the queen gave birth to the crown prince before making Siqin his concubine, because he was concerned about the reactions of all aspects. He was really careful." Li Qicheng said.
Li Su couldn't hide his worry, "Siqin is a few years older than His Majesty, and he was concubine at the beginning, this..."
"Don't worry, your daughter is my daughter, how could I just sit idly by! Don't worry, no one in the clan dares to talk too much. In fact, Yi Siqin's aptitude is more than enough to be a queen. Who knows that he has so many thoughts. If he can take charge of the government smoothly, he will make the Qi family his queen." Li Qicheng said disdainfully.
Li Su glared at him, he was always so outspoken, he thought he lived too long!
"Susu, should we go back?" Xiao Zhenshu frowned.
"What are you going back for? If the Marquis of Yong'an had the ability to stop it, it would have stopped it long ago. Going back now, the day lily is cold too!" Li Qicheng said with a roll of his eyes. "Well, I don't know what you are worrying about. If Siqin is unwilling, she has a hundred ways to persuade the little emperor to give up the idea. Since she didn't do this, she must be willing. Besides, in terms of feelings , She and the little emperor can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, even if the Qi family is an empress, they can't compare, they have feelings and status, so there is nothing to worry about."
Although Li Qicheng's words were simple and rude, they were not without reason. What's more, they rushed back now, and they really couldn't do anything.
Within a few days, Li Su received a letter from the capital, which was written by Siqin. The letter said that His Majesty had discussed with her about concubine concubine, and she agreed after careful consideration. Let Li Su not worry.
Not long after, a letter came from the Yong'an Hou Mansion, which was similar to what Siqin said. Before becoming a concubine, His Majesty asked Marquis Yong'an for his opinion, but Marquis Yong'an originally disagreed. After Siqin had a sincere talk with Yong'an Hou, Yong'an Hou finally agreed to the matter.
It's just that in the letter to Xiao Zhenshu, Xiao Qizhi told him that in order to get Marquis Yong'an to agree to this matter, to be able to be with His Majesty, to prevent her existence from threatening the queen and prince, and to prevent Marquis Yong'an from being involved, she took the initiative. Take the Biziwan to show your determination. His Majesty was very moved, originally he only planned to make Siqin a concubine, but His Majesty felt his affection and changed her to be a noble concubine! And the queen accepted this fact calmly.
Xiao Zhenshu was shocked, but quickly accepted the fact. Siqin is indeed someone who can do these things. Siqin is bigger than they imagined, what should I say? Be courageous and decisive! But his father also expressed his worries in the letter, what Siqin wanted may be far more than that. The devotion of the emperor and the dignity of the imperial concubine are not what Siqin wants. What she wants may be more than this...
If that's the case, what should the Yong'an Hou Mansion do when that day really comes
Xiao Zhenshu's heart was turbulent, and he wanted to say something to Li Su, but after seeing Li Qicheng's cold eyes, he swallowed it back.
"I don't care what your family's position is, but you are not allowed to harass Susu with those nonsense things. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning your face!" Li Qicheng said coldly.
"Isn't the prince worried?" Xiao Zhenshu remained expressionless.
"What I hate the most is your loyal ministers and good looks. The country belongs to the Li family. I am not in a hurry. What are you worrying about!" Li Qicheng said contemptuously. "Take a step back, these are men's affairs, don't involve women in it. If Li Qiming can't even control a woman, he won't be able to sit still in this country! Both sides will fall, who will fall?" What's the difference in your hands."
What Jiangshan Sheji is like a fart in Li Qicheng's heart! As long as it doesn't hinder him, whoever you love!
Xiao Zhenshu frowned tightly.
Li Qicheng suddenly approached him, "I want to say one more thing, don't disturb Susu. Otherwise, I don't mind stirring up another storm and making the water even more muddy!"
Xiao Zhenshu suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Qicheng.
Li Qicheng didn't shy away from his gaze.
"What are you talking about?" Princess Anhe asked.
The two turned their heads and saw that Li Su and An Hejun were standing side by side, looking at this side.
"It's nothing, we are discussing, and we will go a little further, and we will arrive at Anqiao Town. There is a thousand-year-old temple in Anqiao Town. It is said that the incense is very spiritual. I would like to ask if you are interested in taking a look?" Li Qicheng said with a smile.
"A thousand-year-old temple?" Li Su knew they were not telling the truth, but she didn't ask. Li Su knew a little bit about Siqin's idea. She didn't agree with it, but she wouldn't object either. As for the future, let's see where she can go. As a mother, she can't help her, but she can only try her best not to drag her down.
So Li Su and his party continued to go south.
Maybe it's because of Li Qiming's health. He doesn't have many heirs. After five years, there are only three princes and two princesses in the harem. Among the concubines, Li Qiming respected the empress the most, and the one he loved and trusted the most was Concubine Chen, Wang Siqin. Among the concubines, only Concubine Chen was free to enter and leave the imperial study.
Because of the noble concubine Chen's status and the love and trust of Li Qiming, many concubines attached themselves, and there were even concubines who were born in a humble family but had a prince, and wanted to send the prince to Concubine Chen to raise him. Even Li Qiming mentioned that a princess whose biological mother died young was recorded in her name, but she refused. She said that once she has children, she will inevitably be biased, and she will be unfair in dealing with things in the future.
Therefore, although Imperial Concubine Chen is deeply favored by the Emperor, the Empress is not so afraid of her! Without heirs, what's the use of loving more! What she has to guard against are those concubines who are equally noble and have princes under their knees. Besides, the prince is a little weak, the queen thought, it would be safer if she could get another prince.
All the concubines are fighting for favor, status, heirs, and interests, but Wang Siqin doesn't fight for anything and stands aloof.
And Li Qiming trusted her more and more, even when he was ill, he was mentally weak and asked Wang Siqin to review the memorial for him. However, it was said that he was reviewing the memorial, but in fact it was Wang Siqin who read the content of the memorial to him, Li Qiming responded, and Wang Siqin imitated Li Qiming's handwriting to review the memorial.
In the beginning, Li Qiming was not totally defenseless against Wang Siqin. However, whenever Wang Siqin went in and out of the imperial study room, she always kept her eyes fixed on her eyes, not looking at what she shouldn't look at, and not listening to what she shouldn't listen to. Even if he heard something, he never revealed a word to the outside world.
Once, Li Qiming intentionally let her hear someone impeaching Marquis Yong'an, although it was later verified that it was a false accusation. But at that time Wang Siqin only showed doubts, but still didn't confide a word to the outside world, and never contacted the Yong'an Hou Mansion.
After a long time, Li Qiming really felt relieved towards Wang Siqin. That's right, she only stayed in Yong'anhou's mansion for a few years, but she stayed with him for more than ten years. Siqin knew which was more important. In order to be with him, she paid such a high price, how could he doubt her.
This time, Siqin was asked to review the memorial on his behalf, but Siqin resolutely refused, and finally, under his persecution, he reluctantly agreed. For this reason, she was uneasy for several days. After recovering from her illness, she lost a lot of weight.
Li Qiming felt that he had treated Wang Siqin badly, so he thought about how to make up for it. Originally, as a concubine, her sons and pampering were the basis for her to settle down in the harem, but unfortunately, her sons had no choice. Then it can only be petting.
Li Qiming wanted to improve Siqin's status. But she is already the head of the four concubines, second only to the queen, how can she be respected.
Li Qiming thought for a long time, and came up with the title of imperial concubine. Price the imperial character in front of the imperial concubine to show dignity. Moreover, the various ceremonial treatment of the imperial concubine is comparable to that of the queen.
This imperial decree immediately caused an uproar. The clan has never opposed His Majesty, and there are complaints everywhere in the harem. Needless to say, the queen, imperial concubine! Apart from having no heirs, this has seriously threatened her status. The same is true for the other concubines. They thought that the noble concubine was deeply favored by the emperor and that there was no way to advance her status. Who knows, His Majesty came up with the title of imperial concubine for her.
After Wang Siqin found out, she knelt down and resigned from the title of imperial concubine.
But Li Qiming was also a little stubborn in his bones, the more others objected, the more he wanted to make it happen! She's just an imperial concubine, Yi Siqin's intelligence, dexterity, good moral character, and sincerity to herself make her worthy of the position of empress. But at the beginning, in order to win over the auxiliary ministers, I appointed the Qi family as the queen.
Unexpectedly, the arrogance of the Qi family and Duke Zhen became more and more arrogant due to the avoidance of himself and Siqin! The queen claimed to be ill and refused to accept Siqin's greeting. Above the court, the voice of opposition from Zhen Guogong's party is also the highest.
There are even rumors among the people that Siqin is a witch who is a disaster for the country. Li Qiming didn't need to think about who released such rumors.
Siqin can no longer have any heirs, they are still worried and insist on killing them all. Where did they put him!
Li Qiming was determined to make this happen. He not only made Wang Siqin the imperial concubine, but also held a grand canonization ceremony. Together with Wang Siqin, he accepted the worship of civil and military officials and wives!
Immediately afterwards, Li Qiming decreed that when the princes reached the age of four, they would all move to live in Duanben Palace, and they could meet with their biological mother on the 15th day of every month, and the time could not exceed one hour. Several princes in the harem, including the crown prince, all moved to Duanben Palace. All the attendants have been replaced.
Before the queen and concubines could react, Li Qiming made another decree. The queen was seriously ill and could not manage the palace affairs.
In fact, Wang Siqin was not happy to manage the palace affairs. After receiving the order, he assigned the official affairs to the four concubines to manage them separately and supervise each other, and he only played a supervisory role.
Seeing that she was not greedy for power, Li Qiming respected her even more.
With this series of decrees, the queen and Duke Zhen were caught off guard.
The former is to isolate the concubines from the influence and control of the princes as much as possible. The queen can bear it. After all, the prince is already sensible, and she taught him since childhood. She firmly believes that the prince will not be won over by others. Her mother. But the latter has already violated her vital interests. A queen who can't keep her phoenix seal and palace affairs, what kind of queen is she!
In a fit of rage, the queen ordered someone to bring a secret letter out of the palace to her mother's Zhen Guogong's mansion. In the letter, she discussed countermeasures with Zhen Guogong, and there were even many words of resentment.
Unfortunately, the guard found out this letter and presented it to Li Qiming.
Li Qiming immediately turned into a conspiracy. He believed that this was evidence that the queen had colluded with the Zhen Guo government to try to rebel. He immediately issued an order to search the town government's mansion on the charge of treason.
Finally, in the study of Lord Zhen Guo, some correspondence letters in the name of the prince were found. When Li Qiming found out, he was furious, and ordered to confiscate his title, ransack his home, execute him, and exile him. At the same time, the decree was abolished.
It's just that the prince is innocent, and Li Qiming did not decree to abolish the prince.
But the prince is already sensible, and has a good relationship with his biological mother. His natal family was confiscated and his biological mother was abolished. How could the prince not resent him, and often uttered resentful words. Someone even reported that the abolished empress uttered treasonous words in the cold palace, saying that when the prince succeeds to the throne, she will be rescued from the cold palace, and that when the time comes, she will make the imperial concubine look good.
Li Qiming was furious, and it happened that Wang Siqin suddenly fell into a coma for no reason, and the imperial physician could not find out the reason. Those who have good things say that maybe someone is practicing witchcraft in the palace to murder the imperial concubine.
Li Qiming ordered a thorough investigation, and found a witchcraft doll with the birth date of the imperial concubine written on it in the residence of the prince.
Li Qiming finally couldn't bear it anymore, and decreed to abolish the crown prince, change him to be the king of Dian, and leave Beijing immediately to go to the fiefdom. At the same time, the queen was secretly executed.
After the King of Dian left Beijing, Li Qiming finally decreed again to confer Wang Siqin as queen, and held a grand canonization ceremony at the same time.
In the eighteenth year of Jianyuan, Li Qiming was seriously ill. He appointed his second son as the prince, and ordered the prince to supervise the country and the queen to assist the government.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jianyuan, Li Qiming passed away, and ordered the crown prince to succeed him, and Wang Siqin was honored as the empress dowager, and the empress dowager was responsible for military and state affairs. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he respected his biological mother, Concubine De, as the empress dowager. The empress dowager listened to the government behind the curtain. Changed Yuan Wansheng. In the same year, the empress dowager named her mother Li as Mrs. Qin.
In the second year of Wansheng, the Empress Dowager and her mother's Yongninghou Mansion intended to force the palace and force the Empress Dowager to return to the emperor. Defeated, the empress dowager was demoted to common people, and the Yongning Hou Mansion seized the title and ransacked the house.
In the tenth year of Wansheng, His Majesty died without an heir. The empress dowager changed the youngest son of Emperor Wanye, King Ping, as emperor, and changed Yuan Changning. The empress dowager was dressed in imperial clothes, proclaiming the rule in front of the court, with power pouring into the court and the public, the world was shocked, and there were many discussions.
The Empress Dowager changed her previous attitude towards Emperor Wansheng, and brought Emperor Changning by her side to teach her carefully. After Emperor Changning became an adult, he carefully selected the granddaughter of Marquis Yong'an as his queen.
However, after Emperor Changning got married, the Empress Dowager still did not return to Emperor Changning. He even wore imperial clothes and went to the Taimiao to hold a sacrificial ceremony. The courtiers objected, but the empress dowager insisted on going her own way and demoted many courtiers who opposed her. Even Marquis Yong'an was reprimanded.
At that time, the courtiers were very worried, fearing that the empress dowager would seek to usurp the throne. There was also a minister who was attached to the empress dowager by the party and asked the empress dowager to become emperor. But the empress dowager tore up the memorials that encouraged her to proclaim herself emperor.
In the fifteenth year of Changning, the Empress Dowager died of illness and returned to the Emperor Changning before she died. Emperor Changning appreciated his kindness, posthumously titled Empress Zhangxian Mingsu, and built a separate mausoleum for her, which is similar in scale to the emperor's mausoleum.
According to historical records of later generations, Zhang Xian empress Ming Su, mother Li, wife of the state of Qin, and father unlucky. He has gone through three dynasties in his life, assisted three emperors, and achieved the famous prosperity in history. Smart when he was young, he has been in the palace and accompanied him for many years. After Emperor Jianyuan came to power, she was conferred the title of noble concubine at first, and she was deeply favored by the emperor. Before it was too late, he was named the imperial concubine. In the same year, the emperor abolished the queen and respected her as the queen. After that, Empress Zhang Xian Mingsu took charge of the courtiers of Daqi for 31 years, creating a prosperous and prosperous age.
