The national mourning is different from that of ordinary people. You have to keep watch for a full 27 days. All relatives and relatives of the emperor from all walks of life have to come to express their condolences. The crown prince can only be enthroned after 27 days. You have to start counting next year.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
The cries and howls in the Renhe Palace were endless. The custom of mourning has existed since ancient times. At this time, more than 20 days have passed since the night of the war, but there is still an endless stream of people who come to express their condolences. Even the emperor of Shunguo sent After the funeral, the entire palace was dressed in linen and filial piety.
"My mother! If I kneel down again, I will have to go with the late emperor..."
The widowed concubines finally came to the back hall to have a sip of tea, and they all complained endlessly. Almost no one in the entire harem had any real feelings for Emperor Jiwu. Put it on yourself and your natal family.
"Girls! Come with me..."
A young eunuch suddenly ran into the back hall, and the princesses and concubines of the East Palace quickly walked out. A dozen or so eminent concubines with identities were very tacit, followed the little eunuch into the side hall, and asked people to guard the door .
Zhao Guanren rolled around in the harem all day long, and slept in the queen's bedroom four out of seven days a week. The widowed concubines were almost turning into princesses, and the harem and the east palace were almost completely separated.
"The Yuan family is afraid that they are going to rule the river. The Yuan family's army is mobilizing in large numbers..."
The little eunuch said out of breath: "The second and third masters of the Yuan family didn't even finish their filial piety, so they led the Qilin army to the north of the river. They have already begun to forge a defense line on the riverside. The Hu Lie army has also been transferred to the south bank of the river. It is said that Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended!"
"..."
The dozen or so widowed concubines glanced at each other, while Wang Huangfei frowned and said, "No wonder the little sluts in the Eastern Palace run so fast, they must have known about it first, what does the prince say?"
"It's not for the crown prince to worry about this matter, he's nothing in Beijing..."
The little eunuch picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said: "The crown prince only has more than 60,000 people in Gyeonggi, and the heavy troops are pressing down on the border and the grasslands. He can't quench his thirst from afar. It is said that Hongluan has no objection this time, but the strange thing is Your majesty... No! The prince didn't say anything this time!"
"Concubine Hong!"
An empress said angrily: "You are really working hard on this pillow, your family is rising every step of the way, the prince flipped your brand again last night, and our sisters can't compete with you, but you have to tell us the truth, right?"
"Keep down! The dead old ghost is standing in front of you, don't be afraid that he will turn into a ghost and come to you..."
Concubine Hong sat down triumphantly, the little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to beat her leg, she said contemptuously: "The crown prince is acting like a monster, crying to the Yuan family all day long that the prince bullied him, and he regards the late emperor's harem as his own home, and wants to unite with the Yuan family Let's deal with our prince together!"
"this… "
One person hesitated and said: "If the two families join forces, can the prince be the opponent?"
"Ha~ The Yuan family is also in internal strife, crossing the river is just my family fighting for territory..."
Concubine Hong sneered: "For the ownership of a jade dragon, the Yuan family's three households are almost arguing. Everyone knows that the prince has to go back to the Heavenly Palace to return to his life. It is impossible to stay and be the emperor. The Yuan family is out of their minds to offend him, otherwise they will be red." Why didn't Luan stop it?"
"Let me just say, only the prince is not enlightened, he is a two hundred and five like his mother..."
Wang Huangfei curled her lips and said: "With the poisonous powder in hand, you can develop with peace of mind. If you don't win the prince well, you go to join forces with the Yuan family. When the prince pats his ass and leaves, the Yuan family can kill him as soon as he gets hot, you bastard." They're still talking bad about us everywhere!"
"People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, these are his father's original words..."
Concubine Jingde sneered and said: "Look at the elders of the Manchu Dynasty, who is not a tree falling and a monkey scattered? It is said that after the crown prince ascends the throne, he plans to amnesty the world and wants to send us back out of the palace. Anyway, I can't wait for it. Staying in the harem is a real shame. Life is better than death!"
"Girls! Something big happened..."
one
The palace maid suddenly pushed the door open, quickly closed the door and panted, "The news from the Dragon Guard just now is that Yuan Laoer found a powder of corpse poison, saying that after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will give him the whole of Jiangbei as a fief." , and said that their family deserves the country!"
"This is bad..."
The ladies stood up in shock, Hong Guifei's expression changed even more: "Yuan Lao Er is an arrogant person, he can do anything, the poisonous powder fell into his hands, the prince has nothing to do with him, it seems It's not their family's internal strife, they really want to rule the river!"
…
"Prince! This is going to be fun..."
Sitting in the royal study, Zhao Guanren spread his hands, and said to the princes: "I am just experiencing the life of the emperor in the harem. I really want to be the emperor. I have been in Shun country. If you are not convinced, go to the Yuan family to complain. Now Yuan Lao Er wants half of your country, will you give it or not?"
"Don't listen to people's nonsense, how can I annoy you to stay in the harem at night..."
The prince said angrily: "The left and right are just a group of widowed concubines. Don't say that the prince doesn't care, neither did the late emperor, but Yuan Lao Er is a lunatic. If he can find one copy of the corpse poison, he may find the remaining two copies. We have to find a way to stop him!"
"You guys take your time, anyway, I'm going to go home..."
Zhao Guanren stood up and said, "I have already sent people to inform Shun Country that they will soon build the Great Wall at the border, and every city is prepared for epidemic prevention. I will return to Shun Country after my wedding next month. All the military power is entrusted to you, you go fight to the death!"
"..."
The four princes looked at him in shock, and the prince was even more surprised: "You, do you really want to give me the military power? Are you kidding me?"
"You are all going to be poisoned, I want military power to die..."
Zhao Guanren said: "The third corpse poison is likely to be in Shunguo. My Xiaoke family is there. I have to take someone back to find it myself. At the same time, I sincerely hope that you can wait a little longer until we finish building the Great Wall." , we are not afraid of your whole country being turned into corpses!"
"do not worry!"
The prince said excitedly: "As soon as the 27-day mourning period is over, I will immediately ascend the throne and preside over your wedding on June 18th. I will try my best to delay Yuan Laoer. Don't be afraid of gossip these days. It’s still more comfortable to serve in the harem, you should live in the harem before marriage!”
"This is the Tiger Talisman of the Flying Tiger Army and the Thunderbolt Army, don't let me down..."
Zhao Guanren put down two and a half pieces of Tiger Talisman, patted the prince on the shoulder, turned his head and left, the four princes looked at each other in disbelief, the third prince quickly picked up the Tiger Talisman to check, and even pinched himself hard to make sure it was not a hallucination. extremely.
"Brother!"
The third prince was surprised and said: "It doesn't make sense! He doesn't need to hand over his military power even if he is afraid of the corpse poison. It is enough to send someone here to take care of it. How can this be sung?"
"You're stupid, the tiger talisman doesn't represent military power..."
The second prince said disdainfully: "You go out and try with the dragon talisman. The forbidden army will definitely treat you as fools. He surrendered two armies from Jiangbei in name, just to let Mr. Yuan do it for us. Then the two families will fight for strength. Injury, he can take advantage of it!"
"You are all wrong. The two Jiangbei armies have been isolated, and it is useless for him to ask for it..."
The prince lowered his voice and said: "Actually, Changdiji already guessed yesterday that he will hand over two armies and let us restrain Yuan Laoer. These two armies of Jiangbei are useless in his hands, but once they are in our hands Come on, you'll be alive right away!"
"Isn't Chang Di Ji dead? Why is there another Chang Di Ji..."
The sixth prince who had been kidnapped was at a loss, but the prince said: "Don't worry too much, anyway, Chang Di Ji is not dead, she is secretly helping us with things, Jin Yiwei is in charge now, and those few things She is doing it for her!"
"Brother! I think you are too eager to get things done..."
The sixth prince shook his head and said: "Zhao Yunxuan is definitely not easy to mess with, let's
You should instigate him to fight with the Yuan family, instead of us uniting with the Yuan family to fight him. In short, it is absolutely right to hide your strength and bide your time for a few years. If you rush him out, it will definitely lead to big things! "
"You've been his meat ticket for half a month, you've lost all your courage..."
The third prince said angrily: "People laugh at us as a bunch of spineless wretches. Zhao Yunxuan sleeps with our little mother in the harem every day. We should call him father. You can tolerate the concubine being played by him, but we can't do it a day. Tolerate!"
"Third brother!"
The sixth prince said angrily: "Don't listen to the wind and the rain. When did my concubine let him play? He caught my two maidservants. They have never touched them before. They just like to talk about it!"
"Okay! A man can bend and stretch, what is this little thing..."
The prince waved his hand and said: "We can't fight against others for the time being, so we have to bear with it, as long as we can gradually increase our strength, let Zhao Yunxuan live and die in the harem, not to mention a group of widows left by my father, my concubine can make him Play, let the little girl come in!"
"Brother!"
Empress Renfu quickly walked in and said, "The Yuan family has made a decision. Let the daughter of the second wife be the equal wife, and the eldest daughter of the third wife will take over Yu Jiaolong. Our plan to split the Yuan family has succeeded, but... Zhao Yunxuan won't marry me anymore!"
"What?"
The four princes were all taken aback, and the prince hurriedly asked: "Who else can you marry if he doesn't marry you? Didn't he just say that?"
"The envoy of Shunguo has just officially informed me that I have a bad reputation..."
Emperor Renfu said frustratedly: "They chose King Ren's second daughter, Jingfu Zongji. King Ren is our sixth uncle, Zhao Yunxuan will be my brother-in-law from now on, and we will get married on July 1. We have to wait for the princesses of the other two countries to be present. At that time, sixteen brides will marry him together!"
"Slow, slow..."
The prince asked incredulously: "Why do the princesses of the other two countries have sixteen brides? Where are there so many?"
"Alas~ The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom surrendered, and promised to pay 60 million taels of silver to Shun Kingdom in installments, and send six princesses to Zhao Yunxuan as concubines..."
Emperor Renfu sighed and said: "Anchang Kingdom is also married to Shun Kingdom, marrying a princess as his side concubine, a princess as a nobleman, and the remaining brides are from Nanguo's mansion, Dingyuanhou's mansion, and others. There are four major families in the south of the Yangtze River who each marry a daughter, this time it is really a marriage of four countries, and the whole world celebrates it, except that there is nothing wrong with our family!"
"How did this happen? Why are these people all attracted by him..."
The crown prince stared like a dying toad, and the other two princes were also dumbfounded.
"Alas~ It seems that Zhao Yunxuan is going to break up with our family completely..."
The sixth prince sighed and said, "King Ren is not of our blood at all, he is just the adopted son of the late emperor, and Zhao Yunxuan is not lecherous at all, he only entered the harem to discuss business!"
"What are you farting, Zhao Yunxuan can't be lecherous..."
The third prince glared at him angrily, and the sixth prince smiled wryly: "You don't understand him, Zhao Yunxuan never sleeps with worthless women, they have a kind of jargon... business sleep, sleeping is just to promote the relationship between each other, such as Nan Guogong, doesn't it Isn't it the princess's natal family?"
"That's right! There is also Concubine Hong's natal family, isn't it also one of the four major families..."
The second prince suddenly came back to his senses, the prince immediately slapped himself hard, and said angrily: "This bastard actually slept his business sleep in the harem, I naively thought he was a villain, so run away!" Go to the harem and get drunk!"
"In that case, I'm already worthless, am I..."
Emperor Renfu looked at the sixth prince blankly, while the sixth prince shrugged and said: "I don't know whether to say that you are short-sighted or long-term, and you can't even see your own interests. How can the woman married by the late emperor be useless? Yuan Laoer was able to find the poisonous powder before you, it really is... God damn me too!"
