The twentieth day of the first month of the first year of Jian'an, the Taiji Hall of Qianyang Palace, the early dynasty.
After Liu Wei analyzed the general trend of the world, Zheng He stood up and shouted at a sharp voice: "The ministers of all ministries have something to do and play early, and they have nothing to do to retreat."
"The Beginning of the Minister's Performance" With the sound of footsteps, Gu Yong, the secretary of the school department with a long crown and a long sleeve robe, and a black crown on his head, strode out, "Your Majesty, it has been half a year since the queen was funeral in the early autumn of last year.
The queen is the mother of a country, the mother of the world, assisting Her Majesty in ruling the six palaces, and setting an example for women and children in the world.
The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, nor without a queen for a year, and the minister thinks that it is time to announce to the world that a new queen has been established."
As Gu Yong's words fell, there was silence in the Taiji Hall, and everyone almost held their breath, waiting for the Son of Heaven to speak.
Liu Wei sat on a high level, and his eyes swept over the civil and military ministers at his feet, and everyone did not show a surprised expression, but were just waiting for their choice.
It is no secret that after the establishment of the post, since the end of last year, the entire Jiangdong has been in a uproar, saying that after the New Year, the Son of Heaven will be crowned as the queen of Concubine Wu Ruyi.
Rumors have been circulating for more than a month, and Mo said that the Chinese military minister of the DPRK is a pawn of the peddlers on the streets, and everyone is already well-known, and at this moment it is finally officially put on the agenda in the court, naturally no one will be surprised.
Liu Wei's brocade clothes are all over the streets and alleys, and such gossip naturally can't escape his ears.
It stands to reason that the position of queen has been vacant for half a year, and it is time to appoint a new queen, but Liu Wei is reluctant to mention this matter.
There is no other reason, looking around the entire harem, the most suitable candidate for the queen is none other than Concubine Wu Ruyi, and no one can compete with him for the time being.
First, Wu Ruyi was in the Qianyang Palace, with long sleeves and good dancing, and won the reputation of many eunuchs and maidservants; Second, he co-opted Feng Zhen to be a pawn, and used his scheming to get along very well with Mi Zhen, Foot Trainer, Xue Lingyun, and Zhang Chuchen.
It can be said that in the entire harem of Qianyang Palace, all the concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids, up and down, add up, and Wu Ruyi has the highest call to inherit the queen's position.
If Liu Wei held an open election in Qianyang Palace, Wu Ruyi would definitely be elected with a high number of votes.
Of course, everything in the world has yin and yang, and there are those who like Wu Ruyi and those who hate Wu Ruyi, although there are not as many people as there are those who support Wu Ruyi, but there are not a few.
Wei Zifu, who just gave birth to a seventh son to Liu Wei at the end of last year, is one of the people who hate Wu Ruyi, at the end of last year, Wei Zifu gave birth to a son, who was given the name Liu Zheng by Liu Wei and crowned as the king of Hedong.
And Wei Zifu was also honored by his mother, and was promoted from a beauty to one of the nine concubines, and was awarded the title of Zhaorong.
Although Wei Zifu had an heir and was promoted from a beauty to nine concubines, his time in the palace was too short, and his prestige was far less than that of Wu Ruyi, so he could not pose a substantial challenge to Wu Ruyi's posteriority.
More importantly, the forces standing behind Wei Zifu cannot be compared with the Lu family, which spans the government and the opposition, and the military and politics.
Wei Zifu's supporters are only Wei Qing and Wei Jiang brothers, as well as Huo Quji and Huo Jun, who have a certain right to speak in the military, but they can't look at the Lu family in the court.
Liu Wei didn't know how many supporters the Lu family had, but since Gu Yong brought up the matter of canonizing the queen today, Wu Ruyi couldn't get around, and Liu Wei decided to take this opportunity to see how many people supported Wu Ruyi in the Manchu Dynasty In addition to Wei Zifu, Concubine Mu Guiying is unanimously considered by the government and the opposition to be Wu Ruyi's biggest opponent in the competition for the back position, but compared to Wu Ruyi, who has a lot of prestige, a high voice, and many supporters, Mu Guiying's shortcomings are very obvious.
First of all, Mu Guiying herself has little interest in the position of queen, and she is too lazy to manage the trivial matters of the harem, but prefers to go to the military camp to supervise the training of soldiers, which makes the eunuchs and palace maids of Qianyang Palace always feel that this virtuous concubine is a little rusty, and even a little afraid.
Second, Mu Guiying has a bold and rough personality, and she doesn't pay much attention to the communication between concubines, so there are basically no concubines who have a close relationship with her.
In Mu Guiying's view, everyone is the emperor's woman, and they have the same relationship with each other, there is no need to form a gang and form a faction, and they are far and near, and they are each serving the emperor in their own duties.
Third, Mu Guiying has insisted on refusing to have children since giving birth to Liu Wuji, and every time she has sex with Liu Wei in the past few years, she will ask to use a "jacket" for contraception, which can be regarded as Liu Bian's cocoon.
Liu Wei didn't care too much about this, since Mu Guiying didn't want to give birth, he didn't need to force her, and being able to give birth to Liu Yu, who was able to defy the sky, could be regarded as fulfilling his wife's responsibilities to himself.
But Empress Dowager He was furious about this, and her prejudice against Mu Guiying deepened, and she disliked it more and more.
It is precisely because of these three reasons that Liu Wei believes that even if Mu Guiying is now a virtuous concubine, on a par with Wu Ruyi, and has the same status, her competitiveness is even less than that of Wei Zifu.
Even Mu Guiying and Wei Zifu are unable to compete with Wu Ruyi for the back position, not to mention other Chen Yuanyuan, Diao Chan, step trainers and the like, firstly, the support behind these women is almost negligible, secondly, they are all girls, and thirdly, they are not at the same level as Wu Ruyi in terms of scheming, and the combination of various reasons makes them unable to become competitors at all.
Shangguan Wan'er is not short of scheming and can fight with Wu Ruyi, but in addition to Empress Dowager He's support for her, Shangguan Wan'er's support rate in the military and political affairs of the government and the opposition is almost zero, and she has been married by Liu Bianna for more than a year, and she has not been able to get pregnant for a long time, which makes Shangguan Wan'er even more powerless in the competition for the rear position.
After a comprehensive comparison, almost no one can challenge Wu Ruyi's back position.
If you put aside prejudices, if you put aside the history of Wu Ruyi's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty, if Liu Wei is not a traverser, then the status of Empress Wu Ruyi will be a sure thing.
But Liu Biao is a traverser, so Liu Bian's heart is always full of vigilance against Wu Ruyi, so Liu Biao is reluctant to mention the matter of canonizing the queen.
But since Gu Yong fired the first shot today, Liu Wei can no longer retreat, and today he must put forward the matter of canonizing the queen to the public court.
Gu Yong's ancestral home is Wu County, Jiangdong, and he is one of the four wealthy families in Jiangdong with the Lu family, and Gu Yong's personal relationship with Lu Kang is not bad, since he was the first to stand up and propose the matter of the future, he must be a hardcore supporter of Wu Ruyi.
If Liu Wei asked Gu Yong who should be appointed as the queen, Gu Yong's answer would definitely be Wu Ruyi Since the answer is obvious, Liu Wei naturally will not take the bait himself, but sets his sights on Liu Bowen, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "What does Liu Qing think about this matter, and who does Liu Qing think should be established?"
