The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 30
Jun Rong thought back to the past, when Concubine Lian was favored, her mother was already in the cold palace, and there was no intersection, so he didn't know this person very well, Xiao Yu said so, it should be okay.

"What is your plan?"

Jun Rong is more curious about what they said when they went out.

Xiao Yu didn't hide anything, "Zhou Xi was sent by her, probably looking for the imperial edict left by the first emperor, to see how to arrange the concubines in the harem, but at the time, His Majesty was sick and couldn't get up from bed, so he could barely write down the edict and set up an imperial edict. It's not easy for you as the prince, how can you have the energy to arrange them?"

Jun Rong didn't know anything about this matter, so he asked seriously: "Then how should we arrange for the late emperor's concubines? How did the people in the past handle it?"

Xiao Yu: "According to the ancestral system, concubines who have no children at their knees must be buried."

"What? Sacrifice? Sacrifice of a living person?"

Jun Rong stood up from the dragon chair, "It's too cruel."

He frowned tightly, "Is there no objection?"

"Of course there is. At first, all the concubines were buried, but later it was changed to the childless concubines. Later, when Emperor Ren'an arrived, that is, your grandfather's generation, it was said that the burial of a living person was harmful to nature, so this rule was abolished."

Jun Rong: "...ah."

He responded dryly, and the expression on his face froze immediately.

Seeing the emotional changes on his little face, Xiao Yu thought it was quite amusing, and could not help but bend the corners of her lips.

Jun Rong saw that he was smiling, his eyes were blank, what was he laughing at?Are you laughing at yourself?

Thinking of what he said about the burial in a serious manner just now, Jun Rong gradually became numb, oh, he knows, he was fooling himself just now.

"Sir..."

With resentful eyes cast over, Xiao Yu coughed lightly and cleared his throat, "Hey, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the concubine. Before making arrangements, you and I will go see someone."

"Who?"

"Follow the Yan family."

……

After leaving the imperial study room, Xiao Yu and Jun Rong walked side by side in the harem, talking to him about the future.

"You probably haven't seen it since then, have you heard of it?"

Jun Rong shook his head: "I grew up in the cold palace, and we didn't go out when the first queen died, let alone the successor."

"Yes, people in the cold palace will be forgotten no matter what the occasion."

Xiao Yu raised his hand to help Jun Rong brush the branches, "The late empress passed away, and the late emperor intended to promote one of the concubines in the harem, but after picking and picking, he found that the forces were intertwined, so he did not act rashly, and delayed again and again until he himself was critically ill. "

"At this time, someone wrote a letter saying that he would marry His Majesty a successor. At that time, His Majesty was also sick and fainted. He resisted all opinions and really agreed. He decreed to select a daughter-in-law from the family of officials of the third rank and below to enter the palace."

"Under the third rank?"

Jun Rong was puzzled: "Although I don't understand those messy official positions, but below the third rank doesn't sound very high?"

"Naturally not high. There are quite a lot of senior officials above the third rank in the capital. Guess your highness, why did your majesty do this?"

Xiao Yu intends to exercise Jun Rong's ability and let him use his brain more at all times.

Looking at the red wall in the distance, Jun Rong thought about the power Xiao Yu just mentioned, and said in a low voice: "Is it because the official's rank is too high, it will be bad for him?"

"Your Highness is smart."

Xiao Yu glanced at him appreciatively, "Ninety-nine are inseparable."

"At the beginning of each emperor's ascension to the throne, in order to consolidate his position and power, most of them will marry noble daughters from aristocratic families as queens and concubines, and let them restrain each other. Naturally, the concubines' natal families will not stand on the same line for their own interests. A kind of check and balance on the previous dynasty.

But in the later period, when the emperor was firmly seated on the throne, he naturally didn't want his courtiers to collude with his concubine. If the concubine had heirs, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have any thoughts of fighting for power and endangering the rule. "

Jun Rong listened carefully, and thoughtfully said: "Is this the reason why the father chose the daughter of a small official because he was afraid that the bride's natal family would be too powerful?"

"Yes, if there is a pregnancy in the future and he is a son-in-law, how will the crown prince deal with himself? These are all problems. The best way is to marry the daughter of a minor official. Her family has no power and power, so it is easy to handle and cannot threaten the crown prince. "

"This is the case with the subsequent Yan family. Her father is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. It is not easy for a poor family to climb to this position. He was selected by his majesty. He has no children in the family. Just such a daughter is simply the best candidate. In addition, Yan's appearance is quite beautiful, so His Majesty immediately took a fancy to him, and after asking about his family background, he ordered a marriage offer on the spot."

Xiao Yu's face was as usual, but a bit of sarcasm could not help appearing in his eyes, "Does Your Highness know how old Yan's successor is?"

Jun Rong shook his head: "I can't guess, Seventeen?"

Xiao Yu glanced sideways at him, "Your Highness is so naive."

Junrong: "..."

"Seventeen years old is considered too old, and you can't get married at this age. Except for the noble girls who have already arranged, the rest will marry and have children after the age of 17. This successor will only get married this year."

"Huh? Fifteen?"

Jun Rong was shocked, "But she has only been married for a year, right? What will happen in the future?"

"Yeah, at the same age as a flower, your Majesty will go away within half a year after marrying. When you ascend the throne, she will be the Empress Dowager. From then on, she can only green the ancient Buddha and die."

Jun Rong paused, with a bit of unbearable expression on his face, "Can't you let me out of the palace?"

Xiao Yu didn't say that he was naive this time, she sighed silently, and reached out to touch Jun Rong's head, but thinking that this was in the palace, she withdrew her hand regretfully.

"Your Highness, you are very kind, which is very good. Only with kind thoughts in your heart can you truly be a good emperor, but this matter is far from that simple."

"Yan's married to His Majesty as the empress, and she will be released from the palace in the future, who would dare to ask for it? Is it a betrayal of the late emperor after marrying someone? Is it not chaste?"

Jun Rong's lips twitched, trying to say something, but he didn't say it.

He looked at Xiao Yu's black and white eyes, and there was a strange light shining in them, which seemed to be pity and sarcasm. He couldn't understand, couldn't figure it out, but he could feel a chill slowly permeating his whole body.

"Let's go, when you truly become the master of this world, you can do whatever you want."

Xiao Yu walked straight forward, Jun Rong followed silently, and neither of them took the initiative to speak for the rest of the way.

……

Later, Yan lived in the Shouning Palace in the harem, standing at the gate of the palace, Xiao Yu looked up at the two big gold characters "Shouning" on the plaque, and felt quite mocking.

Shouning?Late Emperor, can you be more obvious?It's a pity that Chongxi didn't work out, damn it, he just couldn't stay, and all the tossing and tossing was in vain, and the girl was harmed for nothing.

When the guards at the gate of Shouning Palace saw Xiao Yu and Jun Rong, they immediately reached out to stop them: "Who is coming?"

Xiao Yu took off the token from his waist and handed it to the guards: "I am the son of the Prince Regent's Mansion, Xiao Yu."

"This is His Highness the Eighth Prince."

When the guards saw the prince's badge, they immediately knelt down, "I have seen His Highness, I have seen the prince."
