Chapter 1217: Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang Qian's Unwillingness (13)

"Can the two ladies be calmer?

This is Your Majesty's Mourning Hall.

Not a place for two people to argue.

Empress Dowager Ciyi is a thousand years old. If you want to pay your respects, come with me to get a stick of incense, which is also considered a wish.

Empress Dowager Qiansheng, you should also restrain yourself.

In public, don’t lose the royal face. At that time, you will be a joke on the people!”

At this time, ordinary ministers and even juniors must not dare to speak out.

Therefore, the old royal zong, who is one generation higher than Qiao Mu and others, can only come forward to stop the two of them from continuing to quarrel.

No more stopping.

The royal face was completely lost.

Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to say something else.

But Qiaomu had ignored her at this time.

She had already stepped forward, took a incense from the old zong who had just spoken, lit it according to the rules, and paid tribute to Zhu Jianshen.

Empress Dowager Zhou also knew at this time that the world was the world of the Zhu family after all, and it was not something that her surname was Zhou could shake. In addition, the grandson she raised herself had not yet officially succeeded to the throne, so she finally endured the tone in her heart and stopped targeting Qiao Mu for the time being.

Even though Qiao Mu walked to her and sat down after raising the incense, she didn't continue to say anything.

Of course, I haven't been there for long.

After a while, Empress Dowager Zhou left with a bad face. Qiao Mu had nothing to do anyway, so he was still staying there, and even chatted with the old decrees around him in his spare time.

He even issued an order personally to let the older people here get up first without having to kneel or something.

Even if Qiao Mu does not live in the palace all year round, her identity as a queen mother is indeed true, and the decree issued is indeed an imperial edict, so it is naturally useful.

Even if it's just a trivial matter.

Those old edicts must also accept her favor, otherwise they would have to lose most of their lives even if they did not die.

In the next few days, Qiaomu lived in the palace. Although some targeting and assassination of Queen Mother Zhou were indispensable, those things were all small to Qiaomu and they easily avoided them. On the fourth day, Queen Mother Zhou's behavior finally became more severe and annoyed Qiaomu.

Qiao Mu was so angry that he gave her some powerful laxatives, which almost pulled her out of her weakness. She lie on the bed for several days and couldn't move and could only drink liquid, so she felt a little more at ease.

This also made Qiao Mu understand a truth.

When dealing with some people, you really can't be rude. Even if you don't kill the other person, you have to find a way to keep her busy with some things, or your health is bad to a certain extent. Otherwise, even if the other person can't harm him, it would be disgusting to do whatever he wants.

As for who she is talking about?

Of course, it is Queen Mother Zhou.

Although Qiao Mu had temporarily knocked down Empress Dowager Zhou, she did not intend to continue living in the palace. She entered the imperial tomb in the coffin of Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty. The filial piety ended, the new emperor ascended the throne and the title of Qiao Mu was changed to Empress Dowager Ciyi.

She then left the palace again.

Go back to Yuling.

No one objected to this matter. Emperor Hongzhi was even more afraid that Qiaomu would stay here and would make Queen Mother Zhou so angry, so he politely sent Qiaomu away. Before leaving, he also brought a lot of good things from the warehouse in the palace.

Who wants something to take for free?

Therefore, when Qiaomu came, he only had a phoenix chariot, and when he left, he had a lot of big and small carts.

It's like a red makeup for someone else.

Although Qiaomu left, her purpose was indeed achieved, and it was indeed made everyone in the palace know that there was an empress dowager in the palace. It was just that the empress dowager who never lived in the palace for many years, and she also successfully won the title of Empress dowager. To be honest, if Qiaomu hadn't been worried that she wouldn't go back and take a look, Empress Dowager Zhou would have thought she was gone and would not have given her the title of Empress dowager, so Qiaomu would have been too lazy to run to the palace.

In addition, Qiao Mu had some surprises, that is, her reputation suddenly received some publicity among the people and became particularly good.

Of course she would not let go of such an opportunity.

Therefore, some love stories about Emperor Yingzong of Ming and Empress Dowager Qian, which were originally circulated in the capital, soon spread throughout the country at the speed of light under the control of Qiaomu.

Wait until the end of the next year.

The love story between Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty and Empress Dowager Qian has been exaggerated as being no less than stories like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and the national popularity is no less than similar stories. Almost everyone in the world knows it, everyone knows it. Moreover, in that story, Empress Dowager Zhou is also a villain.

Of course, Qiao Mu was so straightforward when he edited it, but everyone knows who he was talking about. As for how good the effect was, Qiao Mu who lived in Xiang Temple had seen Empress Dowager Zhou, who was in Ci'an Palace, more than once, clamoring to deal with the people and finding out the author of the story.

That was really a good match...

A big drama of crying, making a fuss and hanging.

The wonderful Qiaomu even wanted to record the videos of the time as textbooks and spread them.

Unfortunately, there is no such condition now.

Of course, nothing can remain popular all the time. Even though the enthusiasm of ancient people for gossip entertainment was far longer than that of later generations, the relevant popularity quickly faded after only half a year and was replaced by other things.

In this case, Qiao Mu did not deliberately maintain the popularity, nor did he continue to create new hot spots. Instead, he quickly restored his original habit, continued to travel around and expand his power, and gradually expanded his power from the original Ming Dynasty to other small countries around and the grasslands.

And he also summoned the strong men in some hidden places to form his own military power.

This situation has lasted for more than ten years.

It lasted until the thirteenth year of Hongzhi.

This year, the "Ask of Criminal Regulations" was born.

Qiao Mu, who was far away in Xiang Temple, received this "Ask the Regulations" immediately, and read it quickly, shook his head and sighed with sadness:

"What does it mean to say that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in Wanli, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in Jiaqing, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in Chongzhen, but in fact, this Regulations on Inquiry on Criminals are afraid that the death knell of the Ming Dynasty's death.

Haha, no wonder Emperor Hongzhi was boasted by his ministers to become a wise ruler for all ages, comparable to Emperor Renzong. His feelings are so clear and so benevolent.”

If the Tumu Fort Incident of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty ruined most of the noble forces and made the civil and military imbalance in the court, then Emperor Hongzhi's Regulations on Inquiry and Punishment completely took down the last big sword hanging on the head of civil officials, leaving civil and military imbalances in the civil officials, and even forced military generals to cooperate with civil officials and even surrender.

Because of this "Ask Criminal Regulations".

Completely abolish the crime of corruption and death.

If the Ming Dynasty law is completely abolished, corruption of more than 80 truce is a crime of death.

It was changed to the highest point, which is the Exile Army.

And this is not the end.

Because there was another one added later.

Regulations that can spend money to atone for sins.

This is the last straw that broke the camel's back.

At this point, the Ming gentry completely lost control.
