Futuyuan Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Surprised Geese
In the spring of the eleventh year of Longhua, it rained for a long time. The capital city was soaked in water vapor and hadn’t seen the sun for about forty days.
The country is precarious, and everything is in jeopardy. Emperor Yuanzhen, who was lying on the crouching dragon bed, was getting worse and worse. Zhongzhong heard that he had stopped eating and drinking, and maybe he would change his reign name in the near future.
Who is the emperor is not important to the family members of Qianxi Wusuo. Women have shallow eyelids, unlike the ministers in the court who have the world in their hearts. They only know that they have only entered the palace for more than a month, and their humble titles have just been set.
The next thing to greet them is not the emperor’s luck, not the honor, maybe the green lantern in the nunnery The ancient Buddha, the setting sun in the imperial mausoleum, the cold and damp tomb wall in the underground palace…
Who knows!
“I expected today to come, so I shouldn’t have entered the palace.” A servant stood under the eaves and sobbed, “The emperor is in his prime, who knows…he has no lifespan.”
“Why is it our turn to decide this kind of thing?” The other covered her mouth and watched from side to side, and said in a low voice, “Keep your voice down so that people can hear us. I’m afraid we won’t be the last, but we have to go first. gone.”
“What are you afraid of now? I just ask God to open his eyes and protect my emperor’s longevity. Let us live for two more years, which is the blessing of the good deeds in the previous life.”
People often say that once the emperor and the courtiers, the women in the harem are not like this. After entering the palace, everything is tied to the emperor. If the king is healthy, they don’t say how rich and comfortable they are, at least their lives are safe; when the king dies, those who have children under their knees can return to the position of concubine. It seems that there will be no good way out.
This huge and riddled empire would be an irreversible deadlock in anyone’s hands. It has been 264 years since the founding of Daye. In the past 200 years, it has experienced brilliance, and there have also been British lords. At that time, the territory was opened up, the capital was moved to the capital, and all directions came to the court, and the four seas became ministers, and the prosperity and prosperity were unmatched by all dynasties.
However, the fate of the country also has reincarnation. The young man who was vigorous and vigorous at the beginning is gradually getting old, dragging his bloated body, and slow to respond. No one can tell what will happen next.
Yinlou closed the mullioned window, turned around and made tea at the table. The tea soup is poured into the blue and white porcelain cup, and the broken foam is rolled up and down in the boiling water.
“Drink tea.” She pushed forward, “The froth of the sparrow’s tongue is also better than that of needle snails. My hometown produces tea, and after entering the palace, I can’t even touch the edge of the tea leaves. In the past, it was even more expensive. Picky and sharp, now I only have snacks, poor.”
She is always like this, as if the big things have nothing to do with her, she has a smile on her face when she talks, even when she tattoos flowers on her shoulders, she is also smiling. Li Meiren was not as interested as she was, she frowned and sighed across the cup: “What time is it, you are still in the mood to drink tea!”
when? About to die. She was also worried, but so what! She sat down, scraped off the froth with the lid, and said slowly: “We are caged birds. Once we enter the palace, life and death are no longer in our control. But if we live for one day, it counts as two and a half days. Wait for the will Awarded, what will happen in the future, let’s see their respective fortunes!”
Li Meiren fell silent, stared at her blankly for a long time before saying: “I blame me for being troublesome. Thinking about it now, if you were kicked out back then, you wouldn’t have to worry about today.”
Yinlou laughed and said, “Is life easier after being kicked out? Maybe it’s not as good as it is now. Brother doesn’t want to see you, and when you get married in the future, don’t expect to be a good match. A foolish girl with no future, a matchmaker to protect an aunt It’s not bad, you can still jump to the sky?
In fact, you don’t need to worry too much now, the doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital have the means, and they may develop some prescriptions to cure Long Live Lord’s illness in one fell swoop.”
After such an explanation, I feel a little relieved. Although the emperor’s illness has not improved for two years, after all, he has not died yet. As in the past, I died several times and was rescued. This time there must be such good luck. The gate of ghosts is closed and turned around, and the right is now in the south of the Yangtze River.
As for the page of Yinlou, let the desk get wet. Li Meiren stood up and pushed the wooden peg, and suddenly turned around and asked her, “Do you think we will pretend to be women in heaven?”
Yinlou shivered, he knew this kind of thing well, why bother to say it!
The reason for Chaotiannv, in short, is to sacrifice a living person for burial. For so many years since the founding of Daye, this bad habit has never been abolished. These people are not as good as ants in the eyes of those in power. The emperor is the ruler of this vast China, the heaven of all people.
Enjoy the glory and wealth while alive, and bring a group of people to serve after death. Once the emperor stops his bed, the eunuchs of the internal officials will prepare a list. This is a good opportunity for the public to avenge their private revenge. The ministers started to act one after another. If the court could not eliminate the political opponents, they tried to plot against the opponent’s daughters and killed one by one.
But death is not in vain, and the bereaved family has a specific title since then, called “Chaotian female household”. This kind of honor is hereditary, and the next emperor will give special gifts to his family members in recognition of their “commitment to righteousness”.
Whether he will die or not, no one can say for sure, it depends on luck. Yinlou put down the teacup and said, “If you are lucky, you can still have a chance if you become a monk or guard the mausoleum.”
Li Meiren shook her head slowly, “I’m afraid it won’t be our turn. Emperor Taizu passed away, and there were 120 people buried there. Emperor Chengzong was less, and there were more than 40 people. Later emperors were as many as seventy or eighty people.” , ranging from fifty to sixty, has become a common practice now.
Do the math, how many people are there in Ganxi No. 5? Adding those who are lucky but have no children, the total is just enough.”
Enough count, don’t even try to escape. There is no fixed number of women in Chaotian, and there is usually more and more, and there is no reason to reduce it. She raised her eyes to see the rain outside the eaves, her nose was a little sore, “It’s just us, the concubine who has been lucky can’t escape, it’s really sad.”
“Do you still have the heart to sympathize with others? We are buried with innocent bodies, who is more pathetic when you think about it?” Li Meiren caressed the plucked flowers on the bedding, and walked slowly to the door, “Yinlou, can you do it right now?” The only ones who can save us are the eunuchs from the Supervisor of Rituals.”
Talking about cheese rites is enough to make people frightened. At the beginning, Emperor Chengzong used eunuchs to coerce the ministers of the court, but it was out of consideration of mutual checks and balances.
Unexpectedly, the emperors of the later generations followed suit and carried forward, until now, they have set up a police department, admirals, eunuchs, and even approved reds on behalf of the emperor, controlling the government with one hand. The burial of concubines like this is naturally within the jurisdiction of the Supervisor of Rites.
Yinlou stared at her blankly, “What are your plans?”
Li Meiren seemed a little embarrassed, she turned around and said: “I remember that I came down once, it was too late.”
Yinlou was shocked: “Are you going to negotiate terms with that eunuch? Going now is in his arms.”
Li Meiren smiled sadly, “I am alone in the palace, what else is there? He just wants me to be his counterpart, and I agree. Compared with death, it is more important than death, and there is no need to weigh it at all.”
Her eyes were dead silent, as if she had already made up her mind. Yinlou was still in a daze at first, but only now did he really feel the panic of the doomsday. When you are really desperate, there is nothing you can’t let go of. The so-called counter-food refers to eunuchs and maids working together to live together.
Although there is no real content, they look like husband and wife to each other, and following each other is a matter of a lifetime. There are not many choices for women in the inner court. Some powerful and powerful eunuchs swelled to a certain extent, and the lowest court ladies could no longer satisfy their deformed self-esteem, so they extended their tentacles to the low-ranking concubines with titles.
As for the emperor, because he relied too much on those eunuchs, and because there were too many women to take care of him, even if he heard about it, he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, and did not pursue it.
Allotment to eunuchs, but who would like to be a bit arrogant? If you really want to live in peace, you don’t know that the more high-ranking and noble, the more powerful you are than the ordinary men outside. In the early years, there was a case where a deacon eunuch tortured and killed a pair of food.
After hearing about it, the emperor only rewarded twenty boards, and closed the case lightly. If Li Meiren threw herself into the trap, wouldn’t she just come out of the wolf’s den and into the tiger’s den?
She wanted to persuade her to think twice, but why? At the moment of life and death, each person has his own choice. Li Meiren stepped out, the wind whirling in the hallway rolled up the corners of her clothes, she walked farther and farther, and it was hard to see through the misty rain and fog.
Yinlou climbed up the Linghua door and watched blankly, feeling melancholy in her heart, she went to find a way out, only herself, not many people, she had no other choice but to wait for death.
“Master, what should we do?” When she was circling around the center of the earth, Tong Yun, the maidservant, followed her step by step, “Do you think Li Meiren will give us a hand if she convinces Eunuch Yan?”
Yinlou raised his eyes to look at the roof, “At this time, who can take care of whom?”
Tong Yun stomped her feet in a crying voice, “This is a matter of life and death, so think about it!”
She didn’t want to sit still, but she had nowhere to use her energy, so what should she do?
“Are you asking me to ask the eunuch to recommend me a pillow seat? I don’t seem to be able to do it.” She turned her eyes away embarrassingly, “Besides, even if I want to, no one wants me! Priests must be very popular today, so I won’t join in the fun Why don’t you go to the Imperial Horse Supervisor and try it? The Imperial Horse Supervisor is also a favorite now… You said that you have been reduced to being picked by the eunuch, and your heart is cold.”
Tong Yun felt powerless for a while, “Is it more important to live or face? In fact, it is useless to rush elsewhere. There is only the palm print of the chief of ceremonies in front of you, holding the power of life and death with a pen. If we can climb up to the eunuch with the palm print, then our heads can be saved.”
The palm print eunuch is the admiral of the Dongji Incident Factory. He is the top eunuch among the eunuchs, with power over the world. When Yinlou first entered the palace, he had seen people from Dongchang from afar.
Wearing a black gauze painted gold hat, wearing a sunflower tunic collar shirt, wearing a luan belt at the head, wearing Yisa, embroidered with golden pythons on the left and right, and walking on the white marble platform, she will never forget the imposing ostentation. .
But the eunuch is vicious and cunning, how can it be so easy to make friends! She leaned on the vermilion lacquer treasure cabinet and sighed.
Xiao Duo, the eunuch with palm prints, flattered the servant master, and relied on the favor of the emperor and empress to set up Zhao prison and frame Zhongliang. Dealing with him, I’m afraid he will die faster!
