Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 351 Nuer Huahua, Concubine Feng Chen
Emperor Longqing didn't start to summon his ministers until the evening.

The affairs of the cabinet are all military affairs.Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong and the others entered the Yongshou Palace first and met Emperor Longqing.He Liu didn't get the number until Haishi, and entered the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

He Liu kowtowed and said, "Minister, He Liu, the governor of Jinyiwei North Town, kowtowed to the emperor."

Emperor Longqing said weakly: "Oh, let's be flat. What's the matter with you?"

He Liu stood up, startled!Emperor Longqing's eye sockets were sunken, his complexion was pale, and his spirit was listless.It looked like he was too indulgent last night.

He Liudao: "My Majesty, He Er is dead, and the seat of Nanzhen Fushi is vacant. I boldly recommend Jin Yiwei to direct Li Heijiu, the commander of Youqian, to concurrently serve as Nanzhen Fushi."

Emperor Longqing said: "The governor of Nanzhen has a great responsibility, I think..."

Behind the dragon chair in the main hall, there are four huge screens.A woman's frivolous voice suddenly came from behind the screen: "Oh, Your Majesty, have you finished your work yet?"

Emperor Longqing showed an embarrassing expression on his face, and hurriedly said: "That's all, just according to what you said, let Li Heijiu serve as the governor of Nanzhen concurrently. Alright, you kneel down!"

He Liu walked out of the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Nuer Huahua came out from behind the screen and sat directly on Emperor Longqing's lap: "Your Majesty, that person just now is He Liu of Jinyiwei?"

Emperor Longqing nodded: "It's him."

Nuer Huahua said angrily, "Hmph, Your Majesty, you killed him for me. He is not a good person! A few days ago he caught me and wanted to scald my face with a red-hot iron!"

Emperor Longqing hugged Nu'er Huahua into his arms, groped her face and said, "My dear boy, I can't just kill this person casually. He interrogated you to do the job I entrusted to him."

Nuer Huahua twisted her delicate body: "Oh, my majesty, I don't care! I want you to kill him."

Emperor Longqing pushed Nuer Huahua down on the dragon chair: "Now I have something more urgent than killing He Liu!"

Emperor Longqing did not go to court for three consecutive days.

The ministers in the court began to be afraid!They were afraid that the emperor would learn from the previous emperor Jiajing, and they did not go to court for more than 20 years.

On this day, all the ministers waited in the Chengtian Palace for another morning.Meng Chong sang as usual: "Your Majesty's wind and cold have not recovered, and he will not go to court early today. Please come back, my lords."

After the court was over, Chen Yiqin, the chief minister of the cabinet, pulled He Liu aside.

Chen Yiqin said: "Lao Liu, you and Feng Bao, the supervisor of ceremonies, are righteous brothers. Feng Baoneng can speak well in front of Concubine Li Gui. Concubine Li Gui is now the head of the harem. She can control the affairs of the palace bed. The emperor did not go to court for three days. I heard that it was because a woman entered the main hall of the Yongshou Palace. The emperor has been having sex with her without restraint every day for three days... Can you ask Feng Bao to remind Concubine Li, Take care of this?"

He Liu made a silent gesture to Chen Yiqin: "Chen Shoufu, be careful. Foreign ministers like you can't privately talk about the affairs of the palace. Don't worry, I will let Feng Bao remind Concubine Li."

In fact, why does Concubine Li Gui need someone to remind her?Although Concubine Li Gui is a hero among women, she has her own unique views on political affairs.But she has the same problem as ordinary women: jealousy.

In the past, Concubine Li had to check the servant book in the respect room every day to see which concubine Emperor Longqing favored frequently.Then she will use ingenious means to make the brand of the favored concubine no longer appear in front of Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing and Nuer Huahua hang out in Yongshou Palace for three days.How could Concubine Li not know about such a big matter?

At noon, Concubine Li Gui came to the gate of Yongshou Palace in person.

Meng Chong was on duty at the gate of Yongshou Palace.Meng Chong stopped Li Guifei and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has a will, so no one will be seen."

Concubine Li Gui directly slapped Meng Chong across the face, and cursed angrily: "Dirty slaves without roots, how dare you stop me?"

Concubine Li Gui has always been the master of the harem.Meng Chong couldn't stop him.In desperation, he had no choice but to kneel on the ground, watching Li Guifei enter the main hall of Yongshou Palace.

When she entered the main hall of Yongshou Palace, she saw a coquettish woman sitting on a dragon chair, lying on Emperor Longqing's shoulder.

Concubine Li Gui first gave the Longqing Emperor the Wanfu ceremony, and then she asked Nuer Huahua loudly: "Who are you? How dare you sit on the dragon chair in violation of the etiquette! According to the rules, sitting on the dragon chair privately is tantamount to treason!"

Not to be outdone, Nuer Huahua said, "Who are you? I'm sitting here, and even the emperor didn't say anything. Is it your turn to chirp like a sparrow?"

Seeing this, Emperor Longqing quickly said to Nuer Huahua: "My dear, don't sit here, go behind the screen first."

Nu'er Huahua scoffed, "No."

Emperor Longqing gently pushed her: "Be obedient."

Nuer Huahua lazily got up and went behind the screen.

Concubine Li said: "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that you haven't been in court for three days? Although you are not here to enjoy the concubine's pleasure, but to spread branches and leaves for the Zhu family. But there must be a limit in everything. You have to take care of the dragon body. Besides, that female concubine looks unfamiliar, she doesn't look like a concubine in the palace. The rules of the harem..."

Emperor Longqing waved his hand: "Nuer Huahua is not a concubine in the palace, so I canonize her as a concubine in the harem. In my opinion, we can make her a concubine Chen. In addition, she was born in the Western Regions and doesn't understand the rules of the harem. Find a few seasoned palace maids and teach her all the rules in the palace."

Concubine Li Gui was stunned!The Sannomiya and the Sixth Hospital have distinct levels.Empresses and concubines of the Ming Dynasty are divided into nine categories: empress, imperial concubine, concubine, concubine, Zhaoyi, beauty, talented person, Xuanshi, and lady.There is a system in the harem, and the daughters of kings, dukes, marquises, and uncles will only be named concubines when they first enter the court; the daughters of court officials who are above the seventh rank and above enter the court when they first enter the court, and they will be sealed as Zhaoyi.

Nuer Huahua is just a woman from the Western Regions with unknown background.According to the rules, she can only be named a lady.But as soon as Emperor Longqing comes up, he will make her a concubine!

Concubine Li Gui said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this seems to be against the rules."

Emperor Longqing smiled slightly: "In government affairs, I want to replace the old and bring forth the new. From my point of view, the harem is the same. Those rules that are like old sesame seeds and rotten millet, don't worry about it. It's settled like this, and the slave Huahua is concubine Chen."

Concubine Li Gui advised Emperor Longqing: "Your Majesty, if you do this, the courtiers will criticize you."

Emperor Longqing said angrily: "I don't allow foreign ministers to talk too much about my family affairs! Zhan Yangpi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate submitted a paper this autumn, saying that I kept away from Empress Chen and favored you exclusively. Wouldn't I be assigned Hamiwei by me? That's it, it's settled like this! From today on, Nuer Huahua will be my concubine!"
