Who Cares - Chapter 172

Mrs. Zuo knows her granddaughter’s literary talents, but she doesn’t know that she has become so diligent in just a few years. This article is divided into 20 chapters, namely, morality, self-cultivation, careful speech, frugality… Treating relatives, etc. It covers almost all aspects of a woman as a concubine. The demeanor is vividly interpreted.

Without this article, the world would never have imagined what the queen should do and what it looked like. With this article, they realized that while having supreme power and respect, the queen has so many obligations and responsibilities. She can’t be extravagantly enjoyable. Precisely because she is a queen, she should practice thrift, punish evil and promote good, and set an example for the court’s wife, and even the women of the world. It is also because she is a queen, this article does not talk about how women should be humble and obedient, but instead emphasizes self-reliance, self-reliance, discerning good and evil, and cultivating virtues.

After reading the manuscript, Mrs. Zuo gave it to the Zhong clan, and said firmly, “This article is attached to the palace rules as a preface. Once it is implemented, it will be known to the world. Your name as a virtuous queen will be established. Can you do what you say is the biggest question.”

Guan Suyi chuckled, “How can’t it? Now that the Wei Kingdom was founded, the population is declining, the finances and taxes are sharply reduced, and the treasury is empty. If even the royal family does not adhere to thrift, it will only let the luxury and luxury prevail, causing great waste and even exploitation. Lost the blood and sweat of the people. I didn’t know how I came here since I was a child. My grandmother didn’t know it. I just wore brocade clothes and clothes this year. In previous years, I used to wear coarse tea and light rice and linen clothes. Dress warmly, don’t you live the same way?”

Zhong hesitated, “Have you ever asked about the emperor’s attitude? If you insist on frugality, and he is so extravagant…”

“Suddenly… Your Majesty will only have a harder life than me when he was young. He is not a luxury person. He is now worrying about huge military expenditures. I saved the harem expenses and can pay him the military pay. Chaos is happening in the southwest, everything can be saved, but the army can’t. When I do this, he will surely agree. With the frugality in the palace, the courtiers dare not extravagant and waste. This can alleviate the problem of the emptiness of the treasury. .”

The old lady Zuo clapped, “Okay, I will enter the preface of the palace rules for this article, and I will start to compile it after you have discussed with the emperor. My grandmother has no other skills, but she knows the secrets of the past dynasties very well. If you want to control In the sixth house, I will definitely help you formulate the strictest rules and give you the greatest authority, but I will never let the world criticize you. The upper ones make the rules and the lower ones abide by the rules. This is justified.” Finally lowered the volume, Saying word by word, “As long as you firmly grasp the power, no one can touch you even if you are not loved.”

Guan Suyi nodded earnestly, her eyes gloomy. Seeing that the two of her already had an idea, Zhong didn’t say much.

After the article was passed to Emperor Sheng Yuan for reading, he really liked it very much. Even if he gave Mrs. Zuo a token to allow her to enter and leave the palace at any time, he helped his wife compile the palace rules. As the saying goes, “There is no rule to make a circle.” These women in the palace are fighting back and forth all day long, and they have long been smoggy. Others only thought that Mrs. Zuo was writing the history books of the Jiuli tribe, but they didn’t care about her frequent visits.

In Shuangyun Palace, Shen Jieyu was looking at the mirror and dressing up. From the bronze mirror, she caught a glimpse of the grand palace lady Deng Xi who quietly entered the palace, and said, “What’s wrong?”

Deng Xi left and right, and whispered back, “The empress dowager agrees to lend you the nails from the palace. This is a token.” After the words, he handed over an ordinary peony gold hairpin.

“Very good.” Shen Jieyu easily inserted the golden hairpin and asked, “Is there a roster? Give it to my palace to see.”

Deng Xi entered a booklet again, with a lower voice, “These are the maids and servants accepted by the Queen Mother when she entered the imperial city. Most of them are former elders. They are very familiar with internal palace affairs and hold important positions. Also. Some are inconspicuous handymen. Although they are humble, they are better than concealment. They can play a big role at critical moments. The queen mother will let you memorize and burn them, so don’t leave any handles. She still has some secret guards on hand, asking you If you want to, if you want, show your sincerity and rescue a few little emperors first.”

“What can I do to control her when I rescue them? If she turns her face and refuses to admit it, who should this palace call?” Shen Jieyu chuckled lightly. Rescue a young emperor grandson and ask her to send half of her staff over. She can do it, or if it doesn’t work, it’s not her in the palace.”

Deng Xi took the order, and turned back about half an hour later, nodded and said, “It’s done. This is the list. She will send people over the day Xiaohuangsun leaves the palace.”

Shen Jieyu opened it, and couldn’t help but smile, “The Jiuli people are really loyal. In order to protect their masters, they are even willing to be servants. It’s wonderful, mixed in with these humble servants, this palace can be dispatched. Five people, although not too many, enough for the time being.”

“Niangniang, how do you save the little emperor’s grandson? Even Pan Jieyu dare not handle this, so why bother to take this risk.”

“Pursuing wealth and danger, what do you know?” Shen Jieyu slowly said, “Send the powder to Changle Palace, and let the queen dowager pick a little emperor to drink. It will happen within three days. The symptoms are the same as smallpox. The imperial doctors are not clear, no need to swallow the antidote, it will be better after half a month. At that time, just report to the queen, move the little emperor’s grandson out of the palace for treatment, or feign death to escape, or find a child who can recover from smallpox and lose the appearance to replace it. , It all depends on their own operation, this palace can only help here.”

“Hey, the slave and maid will go now.” Deng Xi put the medicine bag into his sleeve and hurried away.

The queen mother did not dare to give the powdered medicine to the little emperor grandson, but found a few court ladies to replace it. After taking the medicine for three days, the maid had blisters all over her body, and she recovered without medicine after lying down for half a month without leaving any scars on her face. Only then did the empress dowager believe in Shen Jieyu, and when the little emperor sun drank the powder, he sent the five secret guards over, but the surface was very secretive, no matter who seemed to be a reasonable transfer, there was nothing suspicious.

On the same day, the palace rules made by Mrs. Zuo finally came out. Guan Suyi repeatedly read them and gave them to Emperor Sheng Yuan for review. After confirming that there were no problems, they called concubines to declare.

Since being killed last time, Pan Jieyu has used the excuse of being sick and stopped taking half a step out of Panyun Palace. She has investigated dozens of people up and down the palace several times. Suspicious people have long been secretly dealt with, and those The female guards all put on palace costumes, took off their weapons, and no longer dared to be different.

After receiving the call from the queen, although she was dissatisfied, she was afraid of being rectified, so she had to come to Jiaofangdian to listen to the training with the mocking eyes of everyone.

“There is no rule to make a radius. Since ancient times, the inner palace has been the place with the most strict rules. The last time Pan Jieyu, I must have warned you, so I won’t say more about it.” Guan Suyi ordered Jinjin and Minglan. Distributed a copy of the heavy palace regulations, and ordered, “This is the palace regulations made by the palace in accordance with the old rules. It has been sent to your majesty and all veterans for viewing, and they have unanimously agreed. I hope you will study carefully after you get it, and do your best. If anyone violates the palace rules in the future, he should be severely punished and never forgiven.”

Palace rules have been in existence since ancient times, and are generally in a system with national laws and have the same binding force. Violating palace rules is like violating national law. There have been countless concubines punished in the past dynasties. Naturally, everyone in the audience did not dare to raise objections. They accepted the promise while respecting the promise.

The rules of the palace are fine and fine, strict and strict, ranging from the things worn by the maids to the queens and concubines, and there are corresponding regulations. The promotion of maids and servants and the promotion of concubines are all within the queen’s mind. In other words, with this palace rule, the Sixth House will become the Queen’s word for words. Everyone must watch her wink and act, and everyone is under her control.

The demotions of those who were impertinent before the imperial court were degraded, those who had lost selfish morality were degraded, and those who were weak in protecting his heirs were degraded… After a series of demotions, there was a series of promotion. Finally, various crimes corresponding to various penalties were recorded in detail. Where is this a palace rule? Obviously stricter than the law!

How does this make concubines other than the queen live?

When Shen Jieyu was furious and was about to fight, he turned to the second half. The content actually explained the source of each palace rule, but it was not made up by the queen privately, but there were precedents in all dynasties and dynasties. There is a law to follow. Each palace rule also cited an offending concubine and elaborated on her fate to warn future generations.

How can anyone refute such a detailed and comprehensive collection of all the palace rules of the past dynasties? Confucianism advocates Fagu. Isn’t this the best example of Fagu? Shen Jieyu could almost imagine how the emperor and ministers would praise this palace when they were presented to them. And she is a little concubine, what right does she have to refute her.

Except for Shen Jieyu, the other concubines were all overwhelmed by this palace rule, but they did not dare to argue with the empress. Just because this palace rule has not only the queen’s preface but also the emperor’s preface attached to the front of this palace rule, they have repeatedly ordered them not to be negligent and not to offend. If there is a disturbance on the spot, it is tantamount to resisting the order and disrespectful, and the fate can be imagined.

Pan Duoran was waiting to regain its strength and fight with the queen, but the fighting spirit he had accumulated for nearly a month disappeared in no time. From then on, what color clothes and styles of jewelry she wore were under the control of the queen, and what things did she use to fight her? The queen and Jieyu didn’t feel much difference before, but now they have been artificially drawn a sky moat, but she still can’t resist, otherwise they will immediately be buried at the bottom of the sky moat.

The new official took office with three fires. These three fires have not been burned out, and the queen has to play the trick of killing chickens and monkeys. Maybe she is waiting for someone to make a fuss right now! Don’t make trouble, it is equivalent to giving the queen an excuse to punish herself! Thinking of this, the feeling of powerlessness hit like a tide, and Pandora was on the verge of collapse.

Shen Jieyu repeatedly warned herself that this was only temporary. With the help of the Queen Mother, she would have her own days sooner or later, but she listened to the Queen slowly speaking, “The emperor has promulgated the law of cultivating the people recently. As the mother of a country, how can this palace not To give a response? In order to promote the law of the country and to do good and to accumulate virtue, from now on, all the maids in the palace who are over 25 years old are released for marriage, and those who are over forty years old are released for retirement. This article has been entered into the palace rules. , Proceed as usual from now on.”

The maids and servants who can be in the palace, which one is not some age? As soon as the queen said this, it was tantamount to instantaneously dismantling the already structured inner palace power system and taking away the advantage of others. It happened that she took up the righteousness and goodness, so that people can’t even say a word!

Shen Jieyu’s layout was destroyed seven or eight times before it even started. It seemed that he had been knocked on a sap, and the back of his head was painful and swollen, but he had to hold back. The Queen’s method is really high! She didn’t give anyone the capital to fight with her at all, but she squeezed it all out!
