(Thank you xiaoyuanmcu for voting for the valuable monthly ticket, thank you for not choosing the right and taking the middle route, the new book "Iron Blood Crossing" will be uploaded on June 1, please get support, thank you.) )
Zhu Xianxin began to be a little worried, in the huge harem, she is the queen and the five concubines, there are no other women besides her, these are all married by the emperor before, after the emperor became the emperor, there have never been other women around her, according to this situation, Zhu Xianxin should feel happy, in fact, she is indeed very satisfied, but she can't stand the rhetoric of the outside world, including her brother Zhu Xianxuan revealed that she was dissatisfied.
The queen is the mother of the country, and she must set an example for women in the world, including the emperor's personal life.
Zhu Xianxin also had such thoughts, but at that time, her husband was not yet the emperor, and when Zhu Xianxin was alone in the capital, she couldn't see Su Tiancheng for a long time, and she also had a certain amount of resentment in her heart, but as time went by, these resentments had long since disappeared.
There are too few women in the harem, which is a bit out of line, the emperor entered the capital, he never mentioned the affairs of women, and after dealing with the affairs of the court every day, he returned to the harem, and he could allocate time very well, and the queen and the concubine could see the emperor almost every day and experience the warmth of the family.
The eunuchs left in the harem have a lot of honest duties.
Emperor Chongzhen of the previous dynasty was also not a good woman, and there were not many palace maids in the palace, but after the emperor came to the capital, he thought that there were still too many palace maids in the palace. With the support of Zhu Xianxin, many palace maids were dismissed, requiring them to go home to get married and have children, and to live a normal family life. All palace maids who have reached the age of marriage have basically to leave the palace.
Women understand women, for the emperor to make this decision, Zhu Xianxin is completely agreed, afraid of the Chinese military minister to raise objections, Zhu Xianxin took such a responsibility, and personally supervised this matter, in the past four years, the harem has adjusted the palace maid twice.
In the harem. Everything is simple, there is no luxury matter, Zhu Xianxin and many concubines have very strict requirements for their children, there are special people in the palace to teach the prince to read, the emperor is also very concerned about the prince's learning, often in his free time to test the prince's studies, the prince has a lot of teachers, some of them are famous. For example, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu, etc., and even teachers from the Western Regions. On the issue of the prince's education, the emperor often discussed with the gentlemen, and the emperor believed that teaching students was not a matter of knowledge in the first place, but a matter of quality, and the prince's studies did not necessarily need to be very prominent. That is to say, I don't expect every prince and princess to be a university scholar, but every prince and princess must be an adult.
The connotation of this adult is rich, mainly to be knowledgeable, kind to others, know how to be grateful, and so on. That is, the quality must be noble, the emperor's understanding, Liu Zongzhou and others are highly praised, you must know that the influence of the royal family is extraordinary, and it is also an example for the people of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Recently, Zhu Xianxin has been a little upset, and the main reason is that many vassal states have sent women.
The vassal state sent a woman, the meaning is very clear, that is, to enter the palace, that is, or not to become the emperor's woman, at least to become a palace maid in the palace.
As the Jin Dynasty became stronger and stronger, in places such as Korea and Nanyang, some kings dug out their minds, thinking that they could get more protection from the imperial court, and it was a very good means to send women.
In fact, such a measure of sending women has existed for a long time, as early as the disaster of the Qin and Han dynasties, the vassal countries had the practice of sending beautiful women, which is the most effective way, once the woman gets the favor of the emperor, the vassal state can get more protection, and in the face of other vassal states, it can also have more advantages.
At the beginning of the year, many vassal states have sent women, among which North Korea sent twenty carefully selected women at once, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, these women were sent to live in the official post temporarily, but the civil and military ministers in the court all knew the way, Zhu Xianxuan and others The opinion is that the emperor still needs to marry a few women, which is also a comfort to the vassal state.
Of course, Zhu Xianxin and a few concubines were not happy in their hearts, which woman is willing to have too many women in her own man, but the identity of the emperor is different, the Great Jin Dynasty is so powerful, if the emperor always has only the queen and five concubines, after a long time, there will definitely be discussions between the court and the people.
On this day, the emperor finished handling the government affairs and went directly to Qianning Palace.
The rules of the harem are not so strict, Zhu Xianxin is often with a few noble concubines, chatting and talking about things, the prince and the princess are also very comfortable at this time, frolicking everywhere in the palace, but the eunuchs and palace maids are suffering, and they follow all the time, for fear that something will go wrong.
Entering Qianning Palace, Su Tiancheng found that the atmosphere was not ordinary.
Zhu Xianxin, Chunping, Wang Furong, Liu Rusi, Gu Hengbo and Chen Yuanyuan were all here, and they didn't see the children.
Su Tiancheng smiled and spoke.
"Why, this is preparing for a family meeting, isn't there something I can't do well?"
After serving the emperor and sitting down, Zhu Xianxin spoke first.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have discussed with the sisters, and the emperor should also obey the concubines in this harem matter."
Su Tiancheng nodded and spoke a little strangely.
"I have never interfered too much in the affairs of the harem, I just think that there is not much difference between the royal family and ordinary people's homes, this warmth must exist, so I suggest that the atmosphere be relaxed, the queen and the concubine are often together, I look very good, the rules exist externally, and there is no need to be so serious internally."
"Didn't the concubine say these things, after coming to the capital for five years, the emperor didn't want to have more children, thinking that there were too many children to avoid disputes in the future, and the concubines and sisters accepted it, but there were too few women serving around the emperor, and there were a lot of discussions in the court, and the concubines and sisters could not bear it."
Su Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then spoke with a smile.
"It turned out to be such a thing, I'm afraid that it was a woman sent by the vassal country, which made you feel uneasy, these days at the court meeting, Zhu Xianxuan also talked about it, but I refused, I have already said it, the attitude is very clear, I have you by my side, it is enough."
It was natural for Su Tiancheng to say these words, but to Zhu Xianxin and others, such words were very extraordinary.
Zhu Xianxin walked in front of Su Tiancheng, Chunping and others also stood up and followed Zhu Xianxin's side, and everyone saluted Su Tiancheng together.
Zhu Xianxin choked up and spoke.
"The emperor's love for the concubines and sisters, the concubines will always be remembered, but the concubines, as the queen, must consider the affairs of the harem, the royal family can not let the ministers and the people discuss, the concubines and sisters have carefully discussed, or decided to marry the concubine for the emperor, and implore the emperor to grant the concubine's request."
Su Tiancheng stood up, helped everyone up one by one, and after everyone sat down, he spoke with a serious face.
"Since Shu said that he will no longer marry, it is the rules that have been set, how can he break it at will, you have also seen, the Minister of Chinese Wu, has checked a lot in terms of life, Shu has set an example, if they live too casually, how can they be kind to stand above the court, such an atmosphere, must be adhered to, the family and everything is prosperous, the family population is too large, how can it be harmonious, Shu's energy is limited, he is busy with court affairs every day, there is not much time to accompany you, if there are too many concubines in the harem, How could I take care of it, when the time comes, in order to compete for favor, anything can happen. ”
"I have been with you for many years, and I have a deep relationship, I am very satisfied, I can't fit other women in my heart, if I am forced to marry more concubines, it will be unfair to you and them, such a thing, how can I take the lead, if I make such a start, it will be out of control later."
"Everything is special, there are all kinds of situations in this world, but the rules are dead, no matter what kind of special circumstances, there is no special in front of the rules."
"As for the matters that the vassal states are worried about, I don't see anything, it's not that if I marry the woman they sent, whoever can enjoy any special treatment, and whoever has a lot of peace of mind in their hearts, I have set rules, and there are rules in the court, as long as the vassal states follow the rules, they can get shelter."
"As for the women sent by the vassal state, I don't think it's appropriate to send them back, the imperial examination will start this year, a group of young handsome people will definitely stand out, let these women choose their own husbands, my Dajin Dynasty has handsome talents, let these women live in peace of mind, it is a hundred times stronger than guarding the palace empty."
"Tomorrow morning, I want to talk about this matter publicly, so that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will know that they must cherish the women around them and maintain the family well, and I will also tell many civil and military ministers, and let the people of the Great Jin Dynasty know that as long as you are attentive, the family is their most reliable harbor, even if you are down, even if you don't have any friends around you, but your woman will not leave you, I have made up my mind, I will never marry other women in this life."
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Zhu Xianxin and the others were already crying, they had followed the emperor for many years, knowing the emperor's temper, the emperor has always been true to his word, and he said nothing, although they felt sweet in their hearts, but they also felt wronged for the emperor, such a strong dynasty, such an outstanding emperor, there were only a few women around him, and there were no other women.
