The Empress Dowager knew that the new emperor had summoned important ministers, so she did not find it strange.

Her younger brother Feng Mingda was the right servant of Shangshu, and he had some friendship with Zhongshu Ling Liu Xuan. Comparing the two, she also knew a lot about him.

Mud can't support the wall, and no brain can make waves.

So when the mourning period ended on the twenty-seventh day, the new emperor went to the main hall of Taiji Palace to receive an audience from all the officials, while the empress dowager listened to the government behind a curtain.

——You are not married and have no children. Of course you are just a child. Mom will help take care of it. Is there anything strange about it?

Ying Zheng took his seat in the main hall wearing the emperor's crown, and all the officials kowtowed, respectfully asking for the well-being of the Holy One and the Queen Mother's thousand years, and then there were all the affairs that the new king had to deal with after he succeeded to the throne.

How to choose the posthumous title of the late emperor, the new emperor's ascension to the throne, what should be the name of the new emperor, how to favor the empress dowager's mother's family, and some people mentioned the new emperor's biological father and mother, the King of Zhou and his wife...

What's strange is that no matter what the courtiers are discussing, the emperor sitting high in the palace never says a word. Gradually, the discussion in the court becomes quieter, and in the end, it becomes completely quiet.

In the end, the Empress Dowager frowned and scolded her through the curtain: "Your Majesty, it is disrespectful to say nothing in front of all the officials!"

Ying Zheng turned sideways and nodded to the Empress Dowager, and then turned to the ministers: "Apart from selecting a posthumous title for the late emperor and changing his first year title, don't you ladies and gentlemen have anything to say?"

The ministers were stunned by his question and looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Ying Zheng's eyes swept over the faces of the leading courtiers in turn. When he passed Wang Yue, the latter's legs were trembling - Your Majesty, eldest brother, grandpa!!!

Even if you want to abolish the internal guards, you can’t do this!

In today's world, only names and weapons cannot be faked. If we put aside the posthumous title of the late emperor and change the Yuan Dynasty for the sake of mere internal defense, wouldn't this be criticized by the people of the world?

I really want to help you, but I can’t do it——

The air above the main hall was almost stagnant, and Wang Yue did not dare to come forward at this time. He thought with fear in his heart, "It's over, it's over, this must have lost the holy will." At the same time, he thought aggrievedly, "You can't blame me entirely."

When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and sitting high up, Ying Zheng stood up and slapped the case!

There was a sudden sound in the silent court, and all the ministers trembled in their hearts, and they all knelt down in unison, saying they were terrified.

And Ying Zheng sternly rebuked: "As courtiers, you have received the favor of the country, and you are a generation without a king and a father?!"

He handed over the place where the late emperor's mausoleum was located: "The late emperor was kind and decreed before his death not to prevent people from marrying due to the collapse of mountains and mausoleums, but only for a hundred days - the people are still like this, but I, as the heir, only keep filial piety for twenty years.

For seven days, no one in the court came forward to speak out about such a disobedient and rude thing. Are you going to sit back and watch me lose my filial piety to the late emperor, and make the world laugh at me?!"

When the ministers knelt down and left, they were still thinking about what Wu Nainai was having trouble with today and why the Queen Mother didn't stop his nonsense. When Ying Zheng finished speaking, their faces changed drastically, and they all showed a look of fear.

This time, it was much more sincere.

There is no other reason - the new Emperor Zhanli!

And Ying Zheng especially had no intention of giving up: "Where is the Minister of Rites?!"

The Minister of Rites, almost peeing in tears, took two steps forward and said, "I am here."

Ying Zheng reprimanded like a storm: "What are the powers of the Ministry of Rites? Where is your way to serve as a minister? Just sit back and watch the Emperor Daxing be humiliated. When the emperor loses his conduct, how can you still wear the official title of the Minister of Rites?!"

The Minister of Rites even claimed the crime: "I am guilty of a crime that deserves ten thousand death, and my crime deserves ten thousand death!"

Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers in the hall again: "Twenty-seven days, I have been waiting for the whole twenty-seven days, and no one said anything about such illegal and unfilial things, which violated the national etiquette! How can you be worthy of the late emperor? How can you be worthy of the country?

How can you be worthy of me?!"

No one dared to raise his head, and no one dared to speak out to argue.

Ying Zheng sneered, like a thunderbolt: "The Minister of Rites has neglected his duty to this extent. The crime is unpardonable. He should be removed from office immediately. The imperial staff is thirty. The two ministers are guilty of the same crime! On that day, I proposed that I should use the sun to replace the month to observe the filial piety of the late emperor. Even more

His heart is worthy of death! Zhang Huai, the general councilor, Dai Cheng, the secretary, Wang Yongzhen, the secretariat, and Lang Fuyong, the secretary, immediately killed him with a stick to rectify the national ceremony!"

He looked down at the ministers condescendingly: "I am handling this, do you have any objections?!"

All the ministers were so frightened by his violent storm that their livers and gallbladders were split apart. Moreover, the new emperor held the rightful position and every word was flawless. How could they dare to disobey him?

Immediately they knelt down and worshiped in unison: "I am terrified, but your majesty is the only one who can do this and bring blessings!"

The corners of Ying Zheng's lips moved slightly: "Very good."

Immediately afterwards, I heard the exclamation of the palace people from behind the curtain: "The Queen Mother?!"

"Quickly call the imperial doctor - the Queen Mother has fainted!"

The civil and military officials in the court suddenly heard these two consecutive exclamations, with different expressions. They either lowered their heads and ignored it, or quietly exchanged glances with those close to them. The important officials at the forefront of the officials carefully adjusted their postures to avoid being caught.

Without being aware of it, he used his peripheral vision to observe the emperor sitting high on the throne.

There was no other reason. The new emperor made such a big fuss at the first court meeting. On the surface, it was aimed at the Ministry of Rites and the courtiers who proposed that the new emperor use the sun and the moon to observe the filial piety of the previous emperor. In fact, the sword was pointed directly at the empress dowager.

The courtiers with lower official positions may not be clear about it, but the ministers and nobles who summoned the late emperor before his death knew clearly that the person who proposed to use the sun and the moon as a filial piety for the late emperor was the empress dowager, and those unlucky ones were ordered to do so.

Those killed with the stick were all the yes-men of the Empress Dowager and the Feng family.

At that time, several ministers wanted to object - this dynasty inherited the laws of the previous dynasty and governed the world with filial piety. The rule that parents must observe filial piety for three years after their death was further confirmed in the form of laws and regulations, even if the king who succeeded him was a biological son.

It’s hard to be careless, not to mention that today it’s a family member’s adopted son?

It’s just that the new emperor has never thought about these things. He only knows that once he observes filial piety, he must abstain from sex and abstain from sex. After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, a few yes-men echoed her words and pretended to ask the previous generation to observe filial piety with the sun instead of the moon.

When the example came out, he hurriedly confirmed the matter.

The empress dowager was happy, and the new emperor was happy, and some people used the examples of the previous generation to decorate their appearance. They had already sent people to inquire about the new emperor's past temperament, and they were not willing to cause trouble with him over this matter, so they all acquiesced.

, how could you imagine that today, during the court discussion, the new emperor would suddenly launch an attack?

Today in the court, the new emperor not only beat up the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but also killed a few yes-men. He also broke the golden statue of the late emperor's wife in the hands of the empress dowager in one fell swoop, and even more so in front of hundreds of officials.

The identity of the mother of the new emperor who killed the empress dowager was legitimate.

You are the late emperor's queen, and all the glory comes from the late emperor. Why are you the first to stand up and trample on the late emperor's honor, and encourage the successors to despise the late emperor?

As the mother of the new emperor, she did not immediately admonish him for his words and deeds, and scold him to correct his mistakes. Instead, she took the initiative to make him do evil, commit unfilial and disloyal acts, and add fuel to the flames. How could such a mother be able to take power in the court in place of her husband?

Supervise your underage son?!

The new emperor scolded the Ministry of Rites every word and reprimanded those few yes-men, but never mentioned half of the words of the empress dowager who initiated it. This is the benevolence and filial piety of the new emperor, but it does not mean that the empress dowager has a clear conscience and can shamelessly occupy the court.

, came to court under the guise of the late emperor’s widow and the new emperor’s mother!

You are eating the late emperor's food and smashing the late emperor's pot, how shameless you are!

The Queen Mother understood the vulgar words he didn't say, so she turned her back on the spot.

As soon as those two exclamations reached his ears, Ying Zheng hurriedly stood up and walked behind the curtain, with unfeigned concern on his face, and began to make a shameless medical fuss in an anxious voice: "Quickly call the imperial doctor! If there is anything wrong with the queen, I will

I want the hospital to pay for my life!!!”

After a brief pause, he then ordered: "Feng Pushe is here, there is no need to avoid being a relative of yours."

The palace servants and chamberlains were so busy that they were like ants on a hot pot. The courtiers in the palace knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

Since Feng Mingda publicly launched an attack on the new emperor, he secretly thought something bad was wrong with him. He was even more anxious when he saw his sister pouting behind the curtain.

But now that the new emperor took the initiative to summon him, he hesitated...

There is no such thing as a good feast.

In the end, he forced himself to follow the chamberlain to the side hall.

Dong Changshi watched his colleague from the same province leave, then turned his face slightly, his eyes met Li Chun's, and they both saw the same meaning in the other's eyes.

The new emperor's move today was so ruthless and poisonous!

He really fooled everyone.

When the Empress Dowager proposed to use the sun instead of the moon to observe filial piety, he happily agreed and kept his expression as normal for twenty-seven days, which paralyzed the Empress Dowager and all the courtiers. Until today, all the officials were present at the court meeting.

Just then he suddenly got angry.

He only used one knife, but he couldn't hold back. The knife was accurate and cruel.

The Empress Dowager's authority to supervise the country and her natural suppression of the new emperor all came from the former emperor.

She was the late emperor's queen and the new emperor's mother. Now that the empress dowager took the lead in insulting the late emperor and digging her own foundation, what qualifications and dignity did she have to exercise power on behalf of the late emperor?

Remove the curtain and return to power, please.

When Shangshu Zuopu shot Dong Chang, he and his attendant Li Chun were frightened, and Zhongshu ordered Wang Yue to fight.

Your Majesty, you play me!

In the past eighteen years, and in the twenty-seven days after entering the palace, you acted like a fool as if you were real!

The Empress Dowager's overturning was not unjust at all. You have deceived everyone, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties treats you like a dog. How could you possibly want to give you the moon, but you start to raise your head and howl!

The little report I wrote before, and the memorial in my arms...

Isn't it also a trap?

Oh my god, please help me, please help me, please help me. Who will save me?

The ministers in the palace had different thoughts, but Ying Zheng had no idea. He ordered people to help the empress dowager to rest in a nearby side hall, and urged the imperial doctor to come over.

The imperial physician Tai Ping, the young eunuch, went to personally invite. While urging him to walk faster, he mentioned his majesty's staff and killed several courtiers who disrespected the late emperor. Even the minister of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed from his post. The empress dowager was compassionate and was probably frightened.

Stop and then fainted.

The old court doctor, the imperial doctor, was in the audience. He knew something was going on here as soon as he heard it. After understanding the whole story, he knew how to respond at that time.

I went to the side hall and checked my pulse through a curtain. After I confessed my crime, I took a look at the face of the Empress Dowager and realized that it was caused by anger and attack. I prescribed medicine, but told the outside world that it was caused by the current Qi, and she suddenly had a fever...

Ying Zheng knelt beside the Queen Mother's bed, worried: "What should I do?"

Then she pulled the Empress Dowager's sleeves and cried, "Mother, my child is young and I feel uneasy without you by my side!"

Tears flowed down his cheeks. He turned to look at Feng Mingda and called out with admiration: "Uncle."

Then asked: "What do you think we should do now?"

Since entering the side hall, Feng Mingda's mind has turned to 180 miles, but even so, after hearing the new emperor asking him what to do, he couldn't help but freeze for a while.

Then he suddenly woke up and leaned down in a cold sweat: "I can't afford to be called uncle by your majesty, and I come from a family of relatives. How dare I speak nonsense about the emperor's affairs!"

Um?

Didn't fall into the pit.

Ying Zheng didn't care, and immediately opened a new trap: "You are the queen's younger brother, and that is my uncle. What's wrong with calling him that?"

He also said with a gloomy expression: "My mother fainted in the middle. As a son of a human being, I should serve my mother with medicine. However, today is the first court meeting after my imperial concubine. It is of great significance to the country, clan, nobles, and hundreds of people."

If all the officials are there, if it starts but ends like a snake, it will only make people laugh at the world. If it is full of filial piety, it will be a failure to the country. If it takes care of the whole family, it will be a failure to the mother. I really don’t know what to do!"

After saying that, he gathered his clothes and bowed to Feng Mingda as a descendant: "Please teach me, uncle!"

Feng Mingda was horrified and immediately prostrated himself. Bang Bang Bang kowtowed three times: "I will die, I am terrified!!!"

Then he suddenly realized——

Fuck, I fell into a trap!!!

Ask the new emperor not to hold court meetings and let them disperse...

As a relative, you dare to influence the Emperor's court affairs. Do you have disobedience?

There are so many clans and nobles in the palace, and the new emperor’s father, King Zhou, is also here. Are their relationships not stronger than yours?

No one said anything, so why did you show up?

Especially since the Empress Dowager has committed immoral acts before, the Feng family dares to be so domineering!

Ask the new emperor to leave the empress dowager alone and continue the meeting...

The empress dowager failed to sit down to the end of the first court meeting. She pouted midway and left sadly. Can she come again shamelessly in the future?

Then wouldn’t the power of supervising the country be considered abolished?!

If you don't say anything, you will be like a gourd with its mouth cut off...

You are the right servant of Shangshu, and you are the prime minister!

The late emperor entrusted the world and the new emperor Yin Yin to you before he died. Now that a big event is taking place, you are like a mute and can't beat a fart with three sticks. How can you continue to stand in the court and assist the emperor?!

The three choices were lined up together. After weighing the pros and cons, Feng Mingda could only choose the second one.

It was also at this time that he understood why the new emperor only called him to the side hall.

Because the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill and could not continue to attend the court meeting, the decision that the court meeting needed to continue could not be uttered by the new emperor!

There are no bad parents in the world, no matter how much the Empress Dowager pulls her hips, she is also the mother of the new emperor in name, and the son will not blame the mother for her fault!

But Feng Mingda is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, so he can speak on behalf of the Empress Dowager. In this way, the new emperor will be cleared of possible unfavorable charges. When the Empress Dowager wakes up in the future, she will not be able to cause trouble for the emperor. If she is not convinced, ask for help.

Your brother goes, it was his suggestion, I had no choice but to do it!

Feng Mingda: "..."

Feng Mingda: “…………”

Slowly shed two lines of tears.

The court's routine...

So fucking deep!

While feeling uncomfortable, Feng Mingda also had to endure the hypocritical and crocodile greetings from the dirty-hearted new emperor: "Uncle, why are you crying? Good people have their own destiny, and the queen mother will be fine. Don't worry too much.
Chapter completed!
