No wonder Concubine De was really anxious at this time. Her natal brother made several requests through the Minister of Rites, but almost all of them were rejected by the prince. The idea of pursuing the title of Grand Master was rejected, and the posthumous title was only given a low Wenhe. For a veteran of three dynasties, this can be said to be a complete denial of his many years of official career and political achievements.
What's more, a posthumous title is not just a matter of appearance. The level of the posthumous title and the posthumous title represent whether the court recognizes their family or not. It also represents their family's future status in the court. Concubine De's old father indeed had many disciples and former officials during his lifetime, forming a large and dense network in the court. This was also the confidence and capital for the King of Song to fight for the reserve position.
She was also a concubine, the reason why she was appointed to take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace after Queen Daxing became seriously ill. But the eldest brother of Concubine De, who was much more sober than the King of Song, knew clearly that most of the officials in the big net left by his father during his lifetime were just a bunch of fagots. My father worked hard to maintain this network during his lifetime. Now the old gentleman is riding a crane to the west, but his prestige is not enough.
Although he had been in the imperial court for many years, his rank had not been delayed, but in fact he had always been sitting on the bench. I have no involvement in the transfer of officials. Just relying on the old man's remaining kindness, the day will not be far when this big net will be broken up on its own. Why do I try my best to give to my father and compete for this posthumous honor? It is because at least my father is gone, but their family's holy family is still there.
Their family is still their family, and they still have a decisive influence in the court. In this way, at least some core officials can be maintained. After Huang Qiong decided on the old gentleman's posthumous title this morning and had no plans to pursue it, he has been sitting on the bench for half his life. But no matter what, even though he has a family background and a career in officialdom, he still has some sensitivity.
Although it was the prince who decided this matter in court this morning, the emperor did not make any statement. This shows that the emperor at least acquiesces. This also means that the emperor is not dissatisfied with his family over the years, and these dissatisfactions have accumulated to a certain extent. That's why he didn't make any statement on the prince's decision. Does such a result represent the holy family of their family?
The eldest brother of Concubine De knew very well that the attachment of those officials to his family was not just a teacher-student relationship. More importantly, he has been in front of the emperor for so many years. At this moment, the past glory of his family will be blown away by the rain and wind. Even as an official, I have no idea whether I can sit down or not. The foundation that his father had worked so hard to lay during his lifetime would disappear.
The eldest brother, who was unwilling to accept the decline of his family's prosperity, knew that it was not appropriate for him to go to the palace to plead for mercy. Moreover, if he enters the palace at this time, even if he enters the palace, he may not be able to see the emperor. And even if he meets the prince, I'm afraid he won't give him any face. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to discuss with Concubine De and the King of Song who came to guard Ling, so that his sister and nephew could go to the emperor to plead for mercy.
Even if there is no posthumous title or imperial mausoleum attached, can the posthumous title be raised by one liter? When he heard that his uncle asked his old man to plead for mercy, and was forced by Huang Qiong to send eunuchs to invite people, King Song of Song Dynasty immediately cowered and refused to spit out his words. A few days ago, King Song had been scolded by the old man because he had never visited his seriously ill grandfather.
Now that it was too late to hide from the old man, King Song had the courage to go see the old man. What's more, in his opinion, the posthumous title is simply insignificant. Now that that bitch has officially sat on the throne of the prince, what his mother-in-law should do is to pull that bitch down with all her strength and put herself on the throne of the prince. Instead of here, arguing over two words.
As long as you are in power, why can't you get a good posthumous title? If you can't get it now, you can just pursue it yourself. Not to mention the literary success, even the highest literary integrity is not impossible. Don't talk about the empty title of Grand Master, it's nothing to be granted the title of County Prince. It is not a big deal to bury the imperial tomb, just dig it out and move it there when the time comes. As long as you sit in that position, what can you get?
Now because of the things that Prince Teng did, the old man doesn't like to see him. I went to see the old man at this time to make him upset. If you anger the old man, won't you get further and further away from your position as Crown Prince? Now is the time to think big, not get hung up on the little things. When he thought that Huang Qiong was now the prince, King Song filled his chest with anger and jealousy.
He spent all day in the house complaining about heaven and earth, and his father, but he was deceived by Concubine Jing's foxy concubine. Instead of choosing his brilliant son, he chose that murderous bastard. I blame my mother for not having the ability. She has been in charge of the Sixth Palace for so many years, but now she seems to have accomplished nothing. She couldn't be like Concubine Jing, who tied her father to her to help her rise to power.
He resented his grandfather, who always said that his disciples had old officials all over the world. As long as he waves his hand, there will definitely be a cloud of people in the court responding. How glorious is my family in the court, and how many people have become officials. At the critical moment, it was useless, and it didn't give myself any help. Even his own grandfather went to see the Lord of Hell at this critical moment.
Since Huang Qiong was granted the title of crown prince, the Song king acted more and more radically. In his own house, he blamed everyone. Otherwise, he was whispering with Prince Teng, trying desperately to encourage Prince Teng, thinking about letting his sixth brother come forward and cause trouble for Huang Qiong for him. At this moment, how could he think about helping his grandfather, whom he had resented for a long time, to win honor?
Even when she saw her son, she was so unbearable and so angry that her mother didn't even respond. Seeing this son, who was really useless and helpless, she knew that her brother was right. He had no choice but to come forward in person and ran to Tingxuexuan early to plead for mercy. Even she knew that doing so would cause great criticism and even endanger her status.
As the emperor's concubine, she went to intercede for a minister, which in itself violated the distinction between monarch and minister. Even if that person is her biological father, this is not allowed. But you also know that although this posthumous title is small, it is just two frivolous words on the surface. It is related to the honor of your family and whether your family can continue to stand in the government. It is even related to the life and death of his entire family.
It also means that the huge network of relationships that my father painstakingly established during his lifetime, almost all over the government and the public, will completely disappear. And without the support of this network of relationships, can I still sit still? Is there still any hope for the crown prince position that my son has longed for? If that bitch is really allowed to secure his position, will there still be a place for mother and son in this world?
So, early this morning, she ran to kneel outside the door of Ting Xuexuan. She knelt down until noon and realized that she was listening to her crying outside Xuexuan, which had affected the rest of that precious little girl Huang Qiong. Only then did Jing Niang send the eunuch to tell him that the emperor was not in the palace at all today. She left Tingxue Xuan early with the bitch she had to scold almost ten thousand times a day in her heart.
As for where they went, they didn't even know. He also couldn't bear the thought of her kneeling here and Gao Wuyong tried hard to persuade her that instead of just waiting here for the emperor, it would be better to go to the prince to beg for mercy. The emperor now sees that all the rights have been transferred to the prince. This morning, even the imperial seal was handed over to the prince. This means that the emperor will not interfere in this matter even if he is here.
Concubine De, who had been kneeling all morning without even brushing her teeth, almost went crazy when she learned that the emperor was not in the palace. And about this matter, none of Xuexuan's eunuchs and maids actually told him. Let yourself kneel here all morning in vain. Wanting to be here, Concubine De not only hated Huang Qiong's mother even more, but also the maids and eunuchs in Ting Xuexuan.
After hearing that the emperor did not attend the morning court today, he directly asked the prince to preside over the morning court. Even the Imperial Seal was passed on to the Crown Prince. If Gao Wuyong hadn't had quick hands and quick eyes to help her, she would have almost fallen to the ground. She is not a stupid King of Song, she still knows some rules. The meaning behind the emperor's handing over the Imperial Seal to Huang Qiong was even clearer.
What is the Jade Seal of the Kingdom? That is the handle of the country. In the eyes of the ministers and workers in the court and the people of the world, it represents the throne. The emperor actually handed over the imperial seals and seals to Huang Qiong in the morning in front of the ministers and ministers. This already means that the emperor has the idea of passing the throne in advance. Once the imperial seal was handed over, it meant that Huang Qiong's position as crown prince could no longer be shaken.
It's even possible that the ball will be passed to him in advance. And this was something that Concubine De, who wanted to send King Song to the position of crown prince, could not accept at any cost. But no matter how angry De Fei was, she still knew the priority of the matter. The position of prince will eventually belong to him. As long as that bitch has not officially ascended the throne, as long as he can keep his family, there is still a chance.
But if you can't even save your family, there will be no chance at all. Speaking of Concubine De, she can also be called a hero among women. After learning that the emperor had completely handed over all power to the prince, he no longer cared about the jealousy in his heart. I went back to my bedroom and thought about it for a long time. Really unable to think of any other solution, she could only resort to the old method of running to the outside of Wende Hall and kneeling on the ground.
Last time, because of this concubine, she broke into the Wende Palace without permission, causing several eunuchs to be beaten to death. Although Concubine De was said to be in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, these eunuchs could not help but be frightened by the lessons learned from the past. According to the old man's rules in Wende Hall, when someone is discussing something in Wende Hall, they are not allowed to enter. The prince was talking to people in Wende Hall, but they didn't even have the courage to go in and report.
As a result, Concubine De knelt for most of an hour. It wasn't until Huang Qiong finished talking to Jia Quan, finished dinner, and was about to return to Xiyuan that she found her kneeling outside Wende Hall. In fact, Huang Qiong had never expected that Concubine De was so willing to go out of her way to violate the ancestral family law that prohibited the harem from intervening in politics in broad daylight and kneel in front of him to fight for her father.
Seeing Concubine De crying in front of him, Huang Qiong, who had already seen through this woman's thoughts, sneered at the bewildered eunuchs beside him and said: "You blind dog slaves" , is this how you usually do things? How can it be decent to let your master kneel here like this? Why don’t you help your master to rest in Wende Hall as soon as possible? "
Hearing Huang Qiong's scolding, several eunuchs who didn't know what to do breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine De. When Concubine De heard that Huang Qiong asked her to rest in the Wende Hall, she immediately thought that there might still be a chance for what she asked for. She hurriedly wanted to stand up, but she had never suffered so much before. Her legs were numb from kneeling, and she was unable to stand up several times.
