The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Try brushing iron clothes as snow-colored (3)

Chengguang Palace, Zhu Xiuyi walked out slowly. The palace has been closed for nearly five years, more than 980 days and nights, Chengguang Palace has [-] four floor tiles. I don’t know how many times I counted which one. The floor tiles are cracked, the floor tile is chipped, and you can point it out with your eyes closed.

Zhu Xiuyi quietly took a breath of the icy cold air that is unique to this winter, and felt that her internal organs seemed to be soaked by the chill, but no matter how cold it was, it would not be able to withstand the chill in the end.Zhu Xiuyi slowly opened her eyes. After a long day and a long night of silence, she finally managed to get over it.

The sunlight outside the palace was a bit dazzling, and Zhu Xiuyi was a little stunned for a moment, as if it was the time when Longqing entered the palace at the beginning of the first year, Zi Ao City was bathed in a piece of peaceful golden light, such a dazzling and majestic color, let yourself, Can not help but give birth to a dash of obsession.After being stunned for a long time, Zhu Xiuyi finally saw the luxurious woman in front of her clearly, and asked hesitantly, "Concubine Lin?"

"Xiu Yi has good eyesight." Zhu Chengbi had made mental preparations, but for a moment, he was still a little bit shocked. Zhu Xiuyi, in fact, is not yet 30 years old, but his old and decrepit look seems to be over [-] years old , no matter how delicate Feixia's makeup is, it can't hide the fine lines around her eyes at all.

"Why you?" Zhu Xiuyi took two steps back, squinted her eyes and looked at Zhu Chengbi. The days of Chengguang Palace's cold palace gave her a lot of alienation and indifference towards others. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, suddenly Asked, "Where is the queen?"

Zhu Chengbi took the time to straighten out her purple sparrow-patterned gilt-clad jade gait, her willow eyebrows lightly raised: "What do you want her for?"

Zhu Xiuyi snorted, hatred welling up from around his eyes, like red flames sweeping across: "What did I ask her for? Back then, the Hall of Yiyuan cried and admonished me, but that good queen persuaded me to go, what do you think I asked her for!"

Zhu Chengbi sneered, and said in a manly voice: "Then you don't need to waste your energy, Xia Mengxian poisoned Concubine Shu Guifei's mother and son, and she was abolished half a year ago, and now she has fallen into the well and committed suicide." Putting on a set of armor inlaid with bright jade from the East China Sea, she put it on one by one, and said leisurely, "By the way, brother Lin Ruoxuan conspired against him, the Lin family has been wiped out, and Lin Ruoxuan himself has been given death. You also want to know that the Song family, Han family, and He family who entered the palace in the sixth year of Longqing are all dead."

Zhu Xiuyi was so shocked, she took a few steps back, her mouth was tongue-tied, her slightly white lips trembling uncontrollably.

Zhu Xi supported Zhu Chengbi's right hand, turned his eyes towards Zhu Xiuyi and smiled sweetly: "It's not difficult for Madam Xiuyi to find out what happened in the past five years. This servant will explain everything clearly to Madam later, but Madam has a little bit to worry about. Don't make a mistake, the Concubine Lin in front of you is currently taking care of the affairs of the Six Palaces."

Zhu Xiuyi understood in an instant, and hastily bowed her knees to salute: "Concubine Lin, good luck and golden safety!"

Zhu Xi chuckled lightly and said: "Mistress Xiuyi has never lost her manners, she must have known that if it hadn't been for the persuasion of Concubine Lin and Concubine Shu, the empress might not be able to lift the seal of the palace today."

Zhu Xiuyi gritted her teeth secretly, and finally couldn't help saying out bitterly: "The concubine should be grateful for the kindness of the concubine Lin, but it's just that the concubine has been sealed up because of Concubine Shu's entry into the palace, and she is now crying. Should the concubine be grateful to her and let go of her suspicions!"

Zhu Chengbi shook his head secretly, grabbed Zhu Xiuyi's withered and thin wrist, and forced her with sharp eyes: "I just said how Xia Mengxian was deposed! If you can't control your mouth, talk about Shu Xiuyi behind your back." Concubine, even if this palace intends to help you, it is not impossible for you to be confiscated again!"

Zhu Chengbi's tone was cold and gloomy, like an ice awl hitting Zhu Xiuyi's heart hard: "If you lose your color, you will love him. If you love him, you will never see him again. If you want to be reborn from the ashes, you must take good care of yourself." , think about how to get the favor again! Think about how to get ahead! Your father has long since retired, and the only one who can help you is yourself! If you want to seek revenge just after the closure of the palace, it is tantamount to setting fire **!"

Zhu Chengbi coldly let go of Zhu Xiuyi's wrist, saw her fall powerlessly on the ground, and ordered Zhu Xi to say: "Starting tomorrow, Luo Fangyi will move to Qiwangxuan, and today, you will stay here temporarily. Xiuyi explain it well." Concubine Lin turned around slowly, her skirt twirled, like a gorgeous peony in full bloom, "I have always been unwilling to spend too much time with people, Xiuyi, take care of it."

After leaving Chengguang Palace, Zhu Yu dared to ask: "Why did your empress want Luo Fangyi to move to Qiwangxuan?"

Zhu Chengbi said indifferently: "Luo Fangyi was originally docile, not as eloquent as Pan Cairen, who was too eye-catching. At the beginning, she was only coerced by Zhu Xiuyi when she cried and remonstrated. Now, judging by Zhu Xiuyi's appearance, I'm afraid she will have to make an appearance. It’s just a matter of time.”

Zhu Yu said knowingly: "So, the empress asked Luo Fangyi to leave Chengguang Palace to avoid the turmoil in the future and also to avoid Zhu Xiuyi's control. Anyway, Zhu Xiuyi is also the ninth concubine from the second rank. , if it is all controlled by her, it will not be convenient for the empress to control the harem."

Zhu Chengbi stopped, and the white plum blossoms beside him were in full bloom, and the cool and dark fragrance floated towards his face. elegant demeanor.

"The so-called head of the first house is actually the second most favored or unfavored. Covering the sky with one hand is not enough, but as long as you can cover the necks of the low-ranking concubines who are in the same house, you can make them cry every day. The ground is not working." Zhu Chengbi climbed over a white plum and sniffed it lightly, only to feel a cool and refreshing fragrance permeate his heart, and finally smiled brightly, "Pan Cairen must have complained about Zhu Xiuyi, but she She is eloquent and can't control her emotions, so let them quarrel in Chengguang Palace first, the more they quarrel, the more uncomfortable Concubine Shu will be."

On the first day of the first lunar month of the 12th year of Longqing, the sun was shining brightly, Su Zhaoyi sealed Licheng, and went to Hanzhang Palace to receive instructions from Zhu Chengbi in person.Since Su Zhaoyi recovered from her illness, she has been promoted to two ranks, and now she is the head of the second rank and nine concubines, which also made the Liugong feel a lot of envy, but Su Zhaoyi did not become arrogant because of this, and she is still the same as before. A kind of temperament that has always been light.

Since Chengguang Palace was unsealed, Zhu Xiuyi, Luo Fangyi, and Pan Cairen each stayed in their own palaces at ease, only cared about nourishing, nourishing and recuperating, and rarely came out. The harem was quite peaceful.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, news came from Jizhou that Zhu Qizhen's troops had won a great victory, which greatly frustrated Wu Liang's spirit. Now the situation is clearly benefiting the Great Zhou army. Knowing the news, Yidan was very happy in the Yiyuan Hall and announced the victory Smiling, he said to Zhu Chengbi: "Chen Zhengze's tiger cannon really did not disappoint me! Wherever he went, Wuliang's children were all corrupted and defeated."

Yi Chen also smiled and said: "Li Jingren led the right wing to intercept Wu Liang's retreat, and came to catch the turtle in an urn. This battle is very enjoyable!"

Zhu Chengbi covered his mouth with a chuckle and said, "Chen Zhengze is indeed a useful person. Since he can develop a tiger cannon, it would be a waste of talent to put it in the Ministry of Industry."

Yi Dan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and said: "What Concubine Lin said makes sense, since that's the case, how about being transferred to the Military Department's Armory Division as a doctor?"

Yizhen raised his eyebrows. Although the Armory Department of the Ministry of War has low authority, but because it has always managed the important affairs of military equipment and logistics, it is listed as the four fattest officials together with the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Examinations of the Ministry of Officials, and the Department of Officials of the Ministry of War. It has always been a large department where many officials and officials compete fiercely. I was thinking, but I saw Zhu Chengbi seeming to be glancing at me. After thinking about it, I hurriedly replied: "Brother Shengming! It's just that Chen Zhengze has always worked in the Ministry of Industry. I think it will be more convenient? If Chen Zhengze transfers the Ministry of War, who will take over the position of doctor in the Ministry of Industry?"

Gao Qianying held on to the whisk and stood aside quietly. Hearing this, his heart couldn't help but move. He was about to speak, but he heard Yidan say: "The personnel of the Ministry of Industry, I think Chen Zhengze is also familiar with it. Let him go to the palace, so I can test him. Let's see if he can take up the position of the Secretary of the Arsenal."

Before Chen Zhengze entered the Yiyuan Hall, he had already received the secret report from Zhuyu, so he didn't panic. After paying the salute, he just stood quietly aside, lowering his eyes and waiting for the emperor to ask questions.

Yi Dan glanced at him approvingly, and said with a smile, "You really are a young talent, but it makes me feel old."

Zhu Chengbi smiled, pushed Yidan and said: "The emperor is not old. A few days ago, the emperor took the sixth prince to the school to practice riding and archery. Isn't the emperor's archery accurate?" Smiling, Zhu Chengbi Inadvertently glanced at Yizhen, and saw that he turned his eyes to look elsewhere, feeling a little sour in his heart, in front of Yizhen, he was rarely willing to get close to Yidan, but there are always exceptions to everything.

Yi Dan laughed dumbfounded, coughed and said: "Archery is passable, but riding is much worse, and I haven't practiced it for more than a year, and now I can only take a slow stroll around on an old horse and fool it. gone."

After finishing speaking, Yidan smiled and said to Chen Zhengze: "Great victory on the front line in Jizhou, you will be rewarded for your merits, and your tiger cannon will have its own merits. I intend to transfer you to be the military commander of the Ministry of War. What do you think?"

Chen Zhengze hurriedly said respectfully: "It's my honor to be appreciated by the emperor. It's my honor to be in his position to do something. Whether it's the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of War, I should work diligently and live up to the emperor's expectations."

Yidan nodded lightly, raised his expression and said, "Let me ask you, what is the duty of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War?"

Chen Zhengze stared at the thought carefully, and after a while he said neither humble nor overbearing: "The first is the management and storage of ordnance, the second is the supervision of ordnance casting, and the third is the overall planning and dispatching of military supplies. In wartime, the logistics manager must make no mistakes."

Yidan gave Chen Zhengze a playful look, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he condensed his smile and said, "Just now you said 'you are in your position to seek your career', since you work in the Ministry of Industry, so what?" But you are so clear about the responsibilities of the Armory Division of the Ministry of War?"

Zhu Chengbi was stunned, and suddenly realized that Yidan had already set a trap for Chen Zhengze!Since Chen Zheng is a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, there is no reason why he knows the position of the Armory Division of the Ministry of War. Just now, Chen Zhengze clearly pointed out the three major responsibilities of the Arsenal Division in his speech.Since Yidan summoned Chen Zhengze to enter the palace, it took only three cups of tea. If Chen Zhengze thought of being transferred to the military department on weekdays, it would be disrespectful to his job, and he would be suspected of wooing connections, bribing high-ranking officials, and colluding with party members. ; If someone instructs during these three teas, it is very likely that Chen Zhengze bribed the king of Liang or himself. Either one is a capital offense.
