Chapter 780: Going farther and farther on the road to Shunjun
…
Zhao Gou has been in a good mood recently.
The more than 100,000 troops of Zongze's troops, who could not get rid of the force, finally completely surrendered to the court under Du Chong's leadership, and Zhao Gou's rule became more stable.
What made Zhao Gou even more happy was that Dazhong was going to move its center of gravity northward, and all signs showed that Li Yan was getting farther and farther to the path of a foolish monarch. In the eyes of Zhao Gou and many people, Li Yan was not only lustful, but had already had tens of thousands of women in less than two years after he ascended the throne (nearly half of which were contributed by their Zhao family. The Zhao family's imperial concubine, imperial concubine, princess, imperial concubine, princess, concubines, princess, imperial concubines, imperial concubines, imperial concubines, imperial concubines, imperial concubines, imperial concubines, imperial daughters, imperial daughters, clan princess, palace maids, picking daughters, clan women, clan women, singing daughters, all of which were added together, with a total of more than 7,000 people and nearly 8,000 people.
Later, Li Yan's female official removed some of the poor daughters of Zhao (actually, this was already screened by Deng Shu and other eunuchs for Jin people), such as those who were too old (usually those over 30 years old were removed, but those with special identities or particularly beautiful qualities can be appropriately relaxed), those with poor appearance, those with poor figures, etc., but even so, there are more than 4,000 people.), and at least hundreds of millions of dollars to build their own palace. Isn't this arrogant and extravagant, what is extravagant and extravagant?
Compared with Li Yanyi, Zhao Gou felt that he had only spent millions of money to build his own palace, with only a few concubines, and the women in the harem added less than fifty yuan, and he was simply a wise ruler for the ages.
One faint and one bright.
In addition, Zhao Gou is sixteen years younger than Li Yan.
He, Zhao Gou, will be able to replace Li Yan sooner or later!
After thinking about it this way, Zhao Gou was in a great mood!
With such a transcendent mood, Zhao Gou returned to his newly built palace.
Although Zhao Gou used all the money he could raise to his palace, his palace was still pitifully small.
How small is it?
The Northern Song Dynasty palace is small.
The newly built imperial palace of Zhao Gou is less than one-tenth of the Northern Song Dynasty palace.
Just think about it, even if a wealthy family has to spend millions of money to build a house, it may cost thousands of money to build this palace, and Zhao Gou has only spent millions of money to spend. How could this palace be big?
but--
Although Zhao Gou's palace was a bit pitiful for an emperor, but because of the unique geographical conditions of Lin'an City, "there are green mountains and green waters in the middle, and the golden and blue towers are interspersed with colored mountains and rivers. There are only mountains in the east, and there are 10,000-tile houses. This is a natural advantage." And because Zhao Gou's palace is small, it has all the internal organs, including the Golden Palace, the Chuigong Hall, the Xuande Hall, the Funing Hall, the Qinzheng Hall, the Retro Hall, the Chaohui District, the Houyan District, the Houyuan District, the Interior Service Area, the Donghuamen Palace District, and the Cining Palace District. Zhao Gou, who had been wandering for a long time, finally had a home. Zhao Gou still likes his palace very much, and then likes to stay in his palace very much, so as long as there is nothing important, Zhao Gou will return to the harem to coax his precious son Zhao Dao and enjoy the joy of family.
As far as things go, it is not a big mistake for Zhao Gou to like Zhao Yi so much.
In fact, Zhao Gouxiang's son was almost crazy - he had given birth to five daughters in a row, and none of them were really anxious for several years, and he even suspected that he could not have a son.
Now that Zhao Gou has got what he wants, how could he spare it like a treasure?
More importantly, Zhao Gou's five daughters are now all in Li Yan's hands, and Zhao Gou can't see him even if he wants to see him. Even Zhao Gou may never see his five daughters again in his life. In other words, Zhao Gou now has only Zhao Ying, a descendant, which undoubtedly increases Zhao Gou's love for Zhao Ying.
Furthermore, Zhao Yan is really smart and cute. He is only one year old and can speak and leave. He is still very close to Zhao Gou and is very good at please Zhao Gou.
This made Zhao Gou particularly love Zhao Qing, and he wanted to accompany Zhao Qing every day and watch Zhao Qing grow up.
When he arrived at the bedroom where Concubine Pan Xian lived, Zhao Gou saw Zhao Jue who was held in his arms by Zhao Jue's wet nurse at first sight.
Zhao Gou took out a drum from behind, and walked towards Zhao Yan while shaking it, saying, "Xi'er, see what fun things your father has brought to you?"
Zhao Yan happily stretched out his two little hands to pounce on Zhao Gou, and said in a slight voice: "I want it, Father, I want it!"
Zhao Gou came to Zhao Jing, put the drum in Zhao Jing's hand, then took Zhao Jing, hugged him, and then coaxed Zhao Jing to play.
At this time, Concubine Pan also walked out of the inner room, then came to Zhao Gou, and said with a smile: "The official family loves Yan'er so much."
Zhao Gou said: "Hey~ What kind of pampering this is? Even ordinary people have a son, and they can do much more than I do."
Concubine Pan is not really as virtuous as her title. She said that Zhao Gou favored Zhao Yan more than acted spoiled rather than really trying to stop him.
So soon, Concubine Pan and Zhao Gou teased Zhao Yan and played with him.
The two teased Zhao Xian for a while, and Concubine Pan seemed to say unintentionally: "Justice Zhang and Sister Liu just quarreled over trivial matters, and then they parted in disagreement. I want to dissuade me, but due to my identity, I really can't persuade me. Oh, the official family will coax them and coax them later. If the harem is disagreeable, it will make people laugh at the harem of our Song Dynasty that there are no rules."
These "Sister Zhang" and "Sister Liu" were two talented people whom Zhao Gou accepted when he ascended the throne.
As an emperor, he had only one concubine, which was really ugly, so Zhao Gou took Zhang, a native of Xiangfu in Kaifeng and Liu, a native of Jinling, as talents.
Zhang was bigger than Concubine Pan Xian. In order to show her big belly, Concubine Pan called Zhang "Sister Zhang". Liu was smaller than Concubine Pan Xian, Concubine Pan called Liu "Sister Liu".
Zhang and Liu are just two talented people, and Concubine Pan Xian is Zhao Gou's only concubine at present. Therefore, Concubine Pan Xian is naturally qualified to manage Zhang and Liu.
Then why did Concubine Pan say this?
The answer is obvious. She wanted Zhao Gou to make her the queen.
Speaking of which, Concubine Pan Xian is the most likely and qualified to be Zhao Gou’s queen at present - she is Zhao Gou’s only concubine at present, and gave birth to Zhao Gou’s only son. Who is more qualified than her?
Even when Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he was already preparing to make Concubine Pan Xian the queen.
Unfortunately, Zhao Gou's idea was opposed by the ministers at that time.
In the end, Concubine Pan Xian had already reached the position of queen and flew away.
Concubine Pan was naturally very unwilling to accept this, especially since the position of queen ended up falling into a woman who was in the Dazhong Palace and brought great humiliation to the Song Dynasty!
Therefore, Concubine Pan Xian wanted Zhao Gou to abolish Xing Bingyi and make her the queen from time to time.
How could Zhao Gou, a smart person, not know about Concubine Pan Xian’s little thoughts?
To be honest, if Concubine Pan is not so anxious, she would not use these naive means and childish words to force Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou really wants to make Concubine Pan Xian the queen. After all, Concubine Pan Xian is Zhao Gou’s only concubine and the mother of Zhao Gou’s only son.
But Concubine Pan was too superficial and had too poor morals, so she was not suitable for being the queen of the central palace.
This not only reminded Zhao Gou of Xing Bingyi, but also thought that if Xing Bingyi was by his side, he would not have to worry about the matter of the lord of the harem.
But then again, Concubine Pan Xian gave birth to a son for him, Zhao Gou, and the only son. He could not do too much if he had made contributions.
Therefore, Zhao Gou said, "I know you want to be the queen, but now is not the time. The ministers do not agree to make you the central palace now... You have taken good care of Yan'er and educated him. Sooner or later, the position of the queen will belong to you. Even if I don't make you, Yan'er will also make you in the future."
When he heard that, he had to wait until her son grew up and became emperor before he could make her the queen. Concubine Pan became anxious and said unstoppable: "When should I wait for? The official family is the emperor and the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Why do we obey the ministers in everything? Who has the final say in the Song Dynasty?"
When Zhao Gou heard this, his face suddenly sank, then put down Zhao Yan and left without looking back...
