Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 286 Concubine Guo's Pain
Generally speaking, two nights for the empress, two nights for the fourth wife, six nights for the worldly wife, and eighteen nights for the royal wife are fair distribution for concubines, but for the emperor, he cannot choose freely, and has to deal with several , is really not a pleasant thing.Although the regulations for the concubines in the harem to accompany the imperial dorms are clear and clear, but because there are so many concubines, sometimes some people feel unwell or menstrual events come, so the nightly duty is very complicated and troublesome, so most of the palace has set up a "female history" in charge of the concubines' dormitories Emperor's order.

Therefore, when Emperor Xianzong of Tang came, in order to be able to do whatever he wanted in the harem, he did not canonize the queen, and gradually broke away from the established system of servants. The emperor after Tang Xianzong did not canonize the queen, which is not unrelated to this.Now that Concubine Guo Shu brought up this matter again, she is afraid that it is Yang Yu's favorite. In addition, Concubine Guo Shu is determined to sever contact with Wei Baoheng, and she wants to capture the emperor's heart. It's just that there are many changes and she doesn't want to go to Mingluan Hall, so Concubine Guo Shu came up with the idea Such a way.

The other concubines also agreed very much. During the period of Yang Yu's exclusive favor, they all felt that their lives were like years. Although they followed Concubine Guo Shu's suggestion, no one would have the opportunity to be exclusively favored. The opportunity to be lucky is better than being pampered by Yang Yu alone now! "

No wonder all the concubines gathered here today.

The emperor's face was covered with a slight anger. Since Xianzong, the system of serving the bed has been abolished, and the emperor is used to living as he pleases. Unexpectedly, Concubine Guo Shu mentioned this matter again. What does she want? for?The emperor hates this kind of feeling the most. As an emperor, he is bound in everything, even the affairs of the palace must be controlled by others!

The emperor was about to get angry, and reprimanded Concubine Guo Shu for her remonstrance, but he didn't want all the concubines to kneel down one after another, saying: "Concubine Shu is sincere, and it is all for the sake of the peace of the harem, please the emperor to pay attention!"

The emperor couldn't help feeling even more angry in his heart, what is this! ?Is this trying to force him to agree?Although the emperor has the right to refuse, but if they are all in line, it will be a tricky thing!

While being troubled, a crisp laughter sounded, "Why is it so quiet in the harem today? So all the sisters have hid here with the emperor. Could it be that the emperor has some good things but didn't think of his concubines? "

Everyone knew without turning their heads that it was Yang Yu's voice!Concubine Guo Shu didn't inform Yang Yu on purpose, just because she was afraid that she would cause trouble, but unexpectedly she found out!
In the past few days, because of the stillbirth incident, Yang Yu has always felt uneasy, and always felt that something was going to happen. Sure enough, Xiao Xizi found out today that all the concubines went to Feishuang Palace, and they went with Concubine Guo Shu, but only Yang Yu was not notified alone!

Yang Yu felt a little uneasy. What are these people planning?Yang Yu hated this passive feeling, so she decided to go and see for herself. The so-called soldiers came to block, water came to cover up, everyone went, but she was the only one who didn't inform her, so it was clear that she had some connection with her.

Yang Yu walked into Feishuang Hall and saw everyone kneeling on the ground. She was very surprised and said, "What's wrong?" Surprised, the emperor saw Yang Yu's bewildered, wide-open eyes like a frightened deer, which was very cute and cute. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Yu'er! What are you doing kneeling!?"

Yang Yu said in surprise: "I don't know what's going on, I just saw that all the sisters are kneeling, and I can't help kneeling!" The emperor couldn't help showing a sneering smile, it seems that these concubines are targeting It was Yang Yu, who never notified her!So he said: "It's nothing! It's just that all the concubines are advising me that this matter of serving the bed must follow the ancestral system, and the rain and dew are evenly wet!"

Yang Yu immediately understood, and she also knew what Tang Xianzong's previous dormitory system was, which was to prevent the occurrence of monopoly.Yang Yu understood even more that Concubine Guo Shu's move was just so that the emperor could not spoil her alone!

Yang Yu couldn't help sneering in her heart, although the emperor's doting on her was not uncommon, but in this case she had to fight!So he smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind to become a queen?"

As soon as Yang Yu said this, everyone was shocked. I don't know why she said this. Seeing the astonishment of everyone, Yang Yu still smiled and said: "Since Emperor Xianzong, the system of serving the dormitory in the previous dynasty was slow. Slowly changing, it became that the emperor went wherever he liked. This is all because there is no canonized queen, there is no real master in the harem, and there is no candidate for the mother of the world, and no one controls the harem. Arranged! Today we are talking about returning to the ancestral system, could it be that the emperor is going to establish a queen again?"

A slight smile appeared on the emperor's face, at this time Yang Yu said again: "If this is the case, who is the best candidate for the empress?"

The kneeling concubines were all flustered and whispering, most of them were persuaded by Concubine Guo Shu, and they came to persuade the emperor together. It's time!If you want to be canonized as a queen, no one has such qualifications except Concubine Guo Shu!

Concubine Guo Shu's complexion changed slightly, and she couldn't help arguing: "The concubine has no such intentions, the concubine is just worried about the peace of the harem!" The emperor looked at Yang Yu, showing a faint smile, and said: "I love the concubine's heart! Naturally understand! It’s just that this matter is very important, let’s talk about it later!” Glancing at the Buddha kneeling on the ground, he said, “Get up! My harem, of course, is what I decide! What are you talking about!”

Everyone's hearts were already grudges, the emperor's words were like a step, they all stood up, Concubine Guo Shu suddenly felt embarrassed, the emperor's words seemed to slap her on the face, and she felt a burning pain.

Yang Yu still refused to give up, and seemed to mutter to herself, saying: "Concubine Guo Gui of Xianzong has never been a queen in her life. She just looks at the queen who is close at hand but is far away. This is probably the life of Concubine Guo. Pain!"

The emperor's face changed slightly, and Concubine Guo Shu's heart was shocked. This Yang Yu clearly implied that her state of mind was the same as that of Concubine Guo!But she is also surnamed Guo!

What's more, Concubine Guo later became the Empress Dowager, who lived through eight dynasties, and her life spanned eight dynasties: she was Dezong's nephew, Shunzong's daughter-in-law, Xianzong's concubine, Mu Zong's mother, and later Jingzong, Wenzong, The four sects of Wuzong and Xuanzong are extremely distinguished.However, she had a bad relationship with Xuanzong, and there were even rumors that Xuanzong poisoned her to death, so the current emperor does not have much affection for this person. It can also be said that the emperor was also angry with Queen Mother Guo a lot when he was young!
Before Tang Xianzong Li Chun became emperor, he was named the king of Guangling County. Guo Yan's daughter married him at this time and became his concubine.The father of King Guangling was Tang Shunzong. Because of the Guo family's special contribution to the imperial court, and Princess Shengping not only had the same noble blood as himself, but also had a very high status at that time. Very special treatment.

After the death of Emperor Shunzong, Li Chun, the king of Guangling, came to the throne, which was Tang Xianzong.Concubine Guo was also named Concubine Guo.Emperor Xianzong never made a queen. According to some historical facts, there are two reasons. One is that in the eighth year of Yuanhe, the minister asked three times to make Concubine Guo Guifei a queen. Canonized.The second reason, which should be the most fundamental reason, is that Emperor Xianzong is very lustful, and there are many concubines he loves in the harem.He felt that once he became a queen, his private life would inevitably be restricted.If the queen is not registered, then these women will scramble to show favor to him, which is only good for him, so the position of queen has always been vacant.In fact, there were very few queens in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.Although Concubine Guo was not officially registered as a queen, she gave birth to a son who was later Emperor Muzong. Therefore, she has become the de facto queen, and her status is different from other noble concubines.

In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793), Tang Xianzong, who was the king of Guangling at that time, married Guo Nianyun as his wife.After they got married, Shunzong, who was the crown prince at the time, showed great love for his daughter-in-law because of the nobleness of Guo's mother and the honor of his father and ancestors in the royal family.Xianzong himself didn't seem to be very cold towards this concubine, because in the 11th year of Zhenyuan (795), that is, two years after their marriage, Guo gave birth to his son Li You, who was later Tang Muzong.Daughter Princess Qiyang Zhuangshu.Li Chun, Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, did not have a queen in his life, but as the original wife, Guo was still the woman with the highest status in the harem, and she was named a noble concubine.Although Concubine Guo did not become a queen, everyone in the palace and court believed that she was virtuous, benevolent, kind and humble enough to be a mother to the world.

After the death of Emperor Xianzong, Mu Zong came to the throne. The first thing he did was to make his mother the Queen Mother, and he promoted his grandfather, Guo Yan, to be a Taiwei, and gave his grandmother, Shengping The princess was named the eldest princess of Qi, and other related people of the Guo family were also named officials and nobles.

Emperor Mu Zong was very filial to his mother, Queen Mother Guo, and would lead civil and military officials to Queen Mother Guo's bedroom three times a month to pay her respects.Every Chinese New Year, there will be a banquet held there, and other concubines and noble relatives will also rush to attend, and there is a constant flow of cars and horses, which is very lively.Empress Dowager Guo once went to Lishan to play, and was attracted by the scenery of Lishan, so she lingered.Mu Zong was worried about his mother's safety, so he sent King Jing to lead an army to protect him all the way. Later, he went to meet him in person. The mother and son wandered around Lishan for several days before returning.

However, Emperor Mu Zong inherited Xian Zong's sexuality. In order to pursue lust, he often took pills, which caused the drying up of real yin and the damage of vitality, which became an incurable disease.Mu Zong was unable to handle state affairs, so the then crown prince Zhan was ordered to supervise the state and handle state affairs.But the crown prince was only 16 years old at this time, and he had to come to ask the Queen Mother Guo for many things.In order to please Queen Mother Guo, some people asked Queen Mother Guo to attend the court.After hearing this, Queen Mother Guo was very angry, saying that she would not seize power like Queen Wu and discredit her ancestors.

When Mu Zong passed away, the eunuch planned to invite Empress Dowager Guo to proclaim the government. The Empress Dowager Guo reprimanded and said: "In the past, Empress Wu was proclaimed the system, and the country was ruined. Complementing each other, why worry about the country's unrest?"
