Chapter 147: The Eighteen-Year-Old Empress Dowager (15)
In the palace of government and government, hundreds of officials talked about it.
Everyone generally felt that this matter was quite tricky, and no matter how you did it, it was not appropriate.
"The Book of the Ministry of Rites, is there no ancient history record in the Ministry of Rites? I remember thousands of years ago, there was also a period of time when the brother died and the brother succeeded, did there really have no information left? ”
Zong Zhengwei Chunhan is in charge of the royal genealogy, all the concubines with names and surnames in the emperor's harem are eligible to be recorded in the royal genealogy sub-book, if there is a dragon son, and inherit the throne, it can jump out of the genealogy sub-book and enter the main book of genealogy.
Now he is still standing in the court, mainly to help Emperor Anping change his mother's status and name and move his mother into the main book.
In addition, the names of the other concubines of the first emperor also had to be changed, and he was now waiting for the hundred officials to agree on this matter, so he was naturally qualified to ask, and at the same time there was a little eagerness in his heart.
When this is settled, he will be fine.
There is no need to get up so early every morning to attend the court meeting, and he is also very tired when he comes to attend the court meeting at four o'clock in the morning every day.
Doesn't it smell good to sleep until nine o'clock at home?
In the past, he had always slept at home every day until he woke up naturally, if it weren't for the sudden death of the first emperor and no one in charge of the overall situation, how could he be so tired.
Now he just wants to get this done quickly and go home and continue to live a comfortable life.
"Yes, yes, but probably not."
After listening to Wei Chunhan's words, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu nodded although he was a little entangled.
It means that there are relics of relevant rituals in the Ministry of Rites.
But the ritual is too old.
The old simply does not fit the present.
"If you have it, let's say it's going to be good.
If it's appropriate, use it directly.
It's not appropriate. ”
Wei Chunhan continued to ask.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hu Wenyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, could only speak:
"Thousands of years ago, when the Zhou rites were not out.
The ancients were relatively primitive, so the elder brother would generally inherit all the inheritance of the former, including all the wives and concubines of the former, which is similar to the barbarians today and is absolutely inapplicable. ”
This kind of thing, those of them who have been specializing in ancient rituals will naturally not be unclear, just because they have always admired the ancient ancestors who knew more about etiquette and civilization than them, and this kind of habit similar to that of barbarians can only be regarded as a stain.
So it's usually a matter of hiding what you can.
I really don't want to describe it in public.
Because it will shake the foundation of the ancient rites.
"It's really similar to the barbarians, I heard that the barbarians are indeed the death of the previous Great Khan, and the younger brother of the Great Khan is also eligible to inherit the throne of the Great Khan.
And you can also take the harem as your own.
I remember that a princess who was sent to the barbarian tribe and relatives in the previous dynasty hanged herself because she couldn't stand this insult and wrote a suicide note in blood. ”
"There seems to be such a saying, this method will definitely not work, we are not barbarians, how can we be so barbaric, no, absolutely not."
"But it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
So how the hell is it going to work? ”
"Yes, this matter can't be delayed any longer, if it drags on like this, the first emperor will be buried."
"Otherwise, please ask the Empress Dowager to decide.
After all, it is now the Empress Dowager who is in charge of the harem Fengyin, and the things in the harem should be notified to her. ”
No matter how the hundred officials discussed, it was absolutely impossible for the new emperor to inherit the first emperor's harem, there was no doubt about this, but they couldn't think of any other good way for a while.
Even if I thought about it, I didn't dare to say it.
So after some discussion, it was finally decided to invite Qiao Mu out and let her, the real master of the harem, be in the harem.
Come and get an idea, discuss it.
After Qiao Mu received the news, considering that many of the concubines of the first emperor had not been fortunate yet, it was too cruel to let them die alone in the palace, so although he was a little hesitant, he finally drove to the imperial palace.
After experiencing a great gift to welcome the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's thousand years old, Qiao Mu directly took a list of harem lists from the palace maids beside him and opened it in front of everyone:
"The mourners already know about it.
In fact, even if you don't say it, the mourning family originally wanted to discuss with you, but now, let's just discuss and decide together here.
There are seventy-three concubines in the harem of the first emperor.
Only one of them is a concubine, four are concubines, and the others can only be regarded as concubines, among which only eight have been fortunate by the first emperor, so the mourning family decided that the rest of those who have not been fortunate will be sent home, and each will be crowned with a county princess who can only inherit one generation, and let them go home to marry again.
Lest others say that I am harsh in the royal family.
As for the rest.
Except for the mother of the eldest prince, if the rest are willing to leave the palace, let them out of the palace and give them the title of the county lord's lady, and if you don't want to, you can stay, and stay in my Ci'an Palace according to the specifications of female officials, so as to avoid any chaos.
In this way, it is basically solved.
Only the mother of the eldest prince.
It's a bit of a dilemma. ”
The other concubines, the arbor divided by five and divided, were divided, and their whereabouts were determined.
However, for the only concubine Zhang who gave birth to a child for the first emperor, even Qiao Mu felt a little tricky for a while, and she didn't know where to put her and what position to seal.
Because she has already given birth to a child for the first emperor, and she is still the only child, it is impossible for her to go home and remarry or something.
And at the same time, her child has to be recorded in the name of the new emperor, and it is even very likely to become the crown prince under the name of the new emperor, so that her identity is more difficult and tangled, because she is the sister-in-law of the new emperor, and her son may have to become the eldest son of the new emperor, and this relationship is really complicated and involves ethical relations.
After listening to Qiao Mu's words, the ministers below felt that it was a little inappropriate for Qiao Mu to divide the county monarch so aggressively, and they all felt that it was okay, and they all felt that this was indeed a solution.
At the same time, the difficulty that Qiao Mu finally raised immediately stumped the ministers.
For a while, some ministers even thought secretly in their minds, thinking about how good it would be if this concubine died directly when she gave birth.
There is no such trouble now.
After a long time, Emperor Anping, who had been sitting on the top and had no one to take care of, finally couldn't bear it, and said with some helplessness:
"Why is it so troublesome?
Why don't you add a new location?
Or maybe get a new title for her! ”
