It was the next day in a blink of an eye.
The third court meeting after Su Mingzhe ascended the throne.
The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince, who was only five or six years old, were present together.
Su Mingzhe sat on the dragon throne, and after all the ministers shouted long live, officials began to present the memorial.
Things that can be reported in court are important matters.
Su Mingzhe either dealt with it on the spot, or left it to the cabinet or the six ministries and nine ministers to come up with a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
After more than an hour, the young third prince began to feel sleepy.
The number of ministers who submitted memorials gradually became fewer and fewer.
At this time, Guo Youzhi stood up and began to play:
"Your Majesty, I have a script!"
Guo You was worthy of being the Minister of Rites. In the memorial he handed over, he wrote thousands of words eloquently, and finally he wrote:
"...the late emperor's eldest son Chengjiang, his second son Chengze, Xingjinshumin, are diligent in royal affairs, and his youngest son Chengping is smart, studious, filial and loyal... Following the ancient well-field enfeoffment system, a vassal screen was built for the imperial family..."
Su Mingzhe waited for Guo Youzhi to finish speaking in a yin-yang tone, then nodded and said:
"What Guo Aiqing said is true. I want to make the eldest brother the king of Pingxi, the second brother the king of Pingnan, and the younger brother the king of Yong'an. I will confer the title of 'Prince' and it will be hereditary! Dear friends, do you have any objections? ?”
The civil and military officials of the DPRK were originally headed by Lin Ruofu.
At this moment, Lin Ruofu looked confused.
Guo You made an invitation, but Su Mingzhe quickly arranged for the three brothers.
Even a fool can see that the emperor and Guo Youzhi are having sex.
Now I am pretending to ask everyone what they think. Are you really treating everyone as fools?
The emperor wants to perform a one-man show, what does he need from us, an old minister?
Thinking again of the cold treatment the emperor gave him a few days ago, Lin Ruofu's old face suddenly turned blue with anger.
However, this kind of thing was often done when Emperor Qing was in power.
Lin Ruofu was helpless towards Emperor Qing.
Now Su Mingzhe is also following Emperor Qing's example and playing the game of monopolizing power.
Lin Ruofu was still helpless towards Su Mingzhe.
As mentioned before, Nanqing used military force to build a country, and the status of civil servants and generals in the court was similar to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Although civil servants can occupy half of the positions of the officials in the court, it is General Wu Xun who really has the confidence to speak.
For example, Mei Zhili left Kyoto and went to Yanjing to assume the position of city lord. He was the head of Yanjing's civil servants, but he was under the jurisdiction of Wang Zhikun, the governor of Yanjing.
Therefore, Lin Ruofu felt very unhappy that the emperor refused to communicate with him when something happened, but he could only endure it silently.
However, many ministers noticed something unusual in the title title conferred by Su Mingzhe.
According to the old system, when a royal bloodline is given the title of prince, it is usually a 'single-character prince'.
For example, the Chinese Han dynasty likes to use the words "Jin, Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Han, Tang, Song" to title their kings.
Daqing likes to use the words "Jing, Cheng, Rui, Zhuang, Gong, Xiao, Shun, Mu" as the king's title.
When the emperor granted the title of "double-character prince", he usually granted it to a king with a different surname who had made outstanding military achievements.
For example, Wu Sangui's "Pingxi King" in the early Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi's "Pingnan King", Geng Jingzhong's "Jingnan King" and so on.
Now, Su Mingzhe has given the royal titles of different surnames that should have been awarded to military heroes to his three brothers. There must be a strong political connotation in this.
After many Wu Xun generals looked at each other, they began to smile meaningfully.
At the end of the court meeting, Su Mingzhe asked Eunuch Hou to take the three newly crowned princes to the Yanshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.
As an old man, the Queen Mother pays the most attention to rules.
Now that Su Mingzhe had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor, when her three grandsons came to pay their respects, she couldn't help but tell them to stay safe and not make mistakes.
At the end, the Empress Dowager spoke: "Since you three have been crowned princes, it is somewhat inappropriate for your mother and concubine to continue to live in the palace. You can take your mother and concubine back later. "
"Thank you, Grandma Royal, for your grace."
Li Chengjiang originally didn't like the Empress Dowager very much, but now that the grandmother actually asked him to take his mother-in-law out of the palace to honor her, the resentment in his heart immediately dissipated.
Li Chengze didn't want to live with his mother and concubine because he didn't like to be restrained.
However, he had no reason to refuse, so he could only thank him along with him.
As for the youngest Li Chengping, he is only five or six years old and has no right to make demands.
The three princes thanked her and went to Yanfu Palace to meet the Queen Mother and take their mother and concubine out of the palace.
The queen mother did not have a good impression of her son's half-brothers. She just said a few words dryly, rewarded them with some gold, silver, jewelry, and silk cloth, and then let them leave.
Li Chengjiang and Li Chengping took their mothers and concubines out of the palace and reunited, not to mention.
Li Chengze returned to the palace with his mother-in-law, the Queen Mother Pingnan, and left her mother-in-law to the housekeeper. He himself called a few confidants and asked him about the nine days he was detained in the funeral palace. What happened in Kyoto City?
At noon, Su Mingzhe visited the Queen Mother and then came to Yanfu Palace. The Queen Mother asked her son unhappily:
"Qian'er, why did you confer princely titles on three of them so quickly?"
Su Mingzhe didn't want to tell the Queen Mother about his plan, so he could only find a random reason to explain:
"Mother, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, conferring them the title of prince is something that must be done sooner or later. It just so happened that I had something I needed their help to do, so I took the opportunity to confer it."
Su Mingzhe said, without waiting for the Queen Mother to teach him a lesson, he continued to talk about another matter:
"Mother, the Ministry of Rites reported that the weather is hot now, and my father's coffin should be put into Changling as early as possible. According to the old system, the emperor was buried on the seventh day and buried in July. My father's concubines need to go to Changling to keep vigil. Your side Let’s make a list of people to go to the wake.”
"The Ai family has already drawn up the list."
During the more than ten years that the Queen Mother had been the Queen, she had been suppressed by Emperor Qing, and she was nothing more than a mascot.
Now that she is the Queen Mother, she also likes to manipulate power, so she has already come up with plans for the matters that should be handled by her.
Su Mingzhe got the list from the Queen Mother and gave it to Eunuch Hou, asking him to arrange the matter.
After doing this, Su Mingzhe was about to leave, but the Queen Mother suddenly spoke of another matter:
"Qian'er, the Ai family heard that you have been living and eating in the imperial study these days, right?"
Su Mingzhe thought the Queen Mother felt sorry for him, so he smiled lightly and responded:
"That's right. I just took over state affairs and haven't straightened things out yet. It will be fine in the future."
"You child, it is a good thing to be diligent in government affairs, but as an emperor, you must understand the principle of 'appropriate movement and appropriate relaxation'."
After the Queen Mother said something lightly, she stretched out her hand and waved to the side.
Not long after, the eunuch in charge brought in four beautiful beauties with delicate features, pink lips and white teeth, and fair skin.
Su Mingzhe took a look and couldn't help being attracted.
This is not to say that these four palace maids are as beautiful as gods, and they are as beautiful as the king.
It's because, among the four maids, two are 70% similar to Li Yunrui, and the other two are 70% similar to Fan Ruoruo.
In just a few days, the Queen Mother had found four stunning beauties with such unique characteristics. Su Mingzhe almost admired the Queen Mother's ability.
After seeing Su Mingzhe's surprised look, the Queen Mother felt a burst of pride in her heart and continued:
"Gan'er, these four beautiful girls have been personally selected by the Ai family in the past few days. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, poetry and wine. Although I dare not say that they are proficient in everything, they have achieved something. Take them back and have some free time. Sometimes, you can relieve your boredom and have fun.”
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Su Mingzhe did not refuse and left immediately with four beautiful palace maids.
After returning to the imperial study, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but asked the names of the four girls.
The two girls who look exactly like Li Yunrui are named Xue Ying and Tao Qing, and the two girls who look like Fan Ruoruo are named Jiang Yan and Yue Hong.
Among the four women, Xue Ying is the most similar to Li Yunrui and has the most beautiful appearance.
Next is Jiang Yan, whose temperament is somewhat similar to Fan Ruoruo, with a clear face and an innocent and delicate temperament.
"Eunuch Hou, please arrange for the four of them to stay here first."
The imperial study room where Su Mingzhe works is in the front hall of Weiyang Palace.
Eunuch Hou was also considerate, so he placed the four girls in the Kunde Hall on the west side to rest.
In the evening, after Su Mingzhe finished correcting the memorial and was about to rest, Eunuch Hou came over and asked with a smile:
"Your Majesty, who will you choose to serve as your bed attendant tonight?"
The four daughters, Xue Ying, entered the palace as show girls. They originally had no status, but were temporarily promoted to 'chosen attendants' by the Queen Mother.
Su Mingzhe listened to Eunuch Hou's inquiry and was silent for a while, then he said:
"Let Xue Xuanshi and Jiang Xuanshi come over."
A romantic night.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe did not stop the king from going to court early because of the tenderness of the two women.
Before midnight, the sky was getting slightly brighter, and Su Mingzhe got up.
Eunuch Hou has been waiting by the bed for a long time.
Afterwards, several more maids came in to help with dressing and washing.
Eunuch Hou ordered someone to bring two bowls of cold soup.
Cold soup, also known as 'Bi Zi Tang', is made from cold traditional Chinese medicine, which will damage a woman's Du Vein, causing damage to her body and making it difficult to get pregnant.
While Su Mingzhe was still observing filial piety, the women around him could not get pregnant.
Xue Ying and Jiang Yan both came from the families of powerful officials and knew the situation, so they drank the cold soup obediently.
Su Mingzhe looked at the supple appearance of the two women, thought for a moment, and then said:
"You two have worked hard, please sleep a little longer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two women sat on the edge of the bed and thanked them gratefully.
As the emperor, Su Mingzhe had many things to do, and he didn't have much thought to care about them. After getting dressed, he left the dormitory.
