The cause of the matter was that after Zhao Zongquan secured his throne, he began to have other ideas and wanted to appoint his long-dead father, King Shu, as the emperor.
Huangkao is the name the reigning emperor calls the late emperor, but Zhao Zongquan had already adopted the late emperor Renzong in order to succeed to the throne. Strictly speaking, his father was the late emperor, not King Shu.
If King Shu is established as the emperor, where will the former emperor be placed?
As the late emperor's queen, Empress Dowager Cao naturally would not agree to the government's proposal, and she refused without mercy and at the top of her lungs, leaving no room for maneuver.
Even the civil and military officials, except for a few, were firmly opposed.
How can there be two fathers in the world? Let alone one in the royal family.
But the official seems to have recognized this matter. He will mention it every morning in the morning, with the intention of resisting to the end if you don't agree. For this matter, he even ignored many government affairs.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he wanted to honor his late father as the emperor, but he was actually trying to seize power and force the officials and the Queen Mother.
Every morning there was a huge quarrel over this matter, but it is undeniable that as time goes by, more and more officials begin to support this matter.
The reason is also very simple. Now that the official throne has been firmly established, but the Queen Mother is still clinging to power, it will naturally make some people dissatisfied, and some people want to achieve their own goals by supporting the official family.
In short, in one sentence, when it comes to the imperial examination, the officials have their own purposes and interests, and the officials who support and oppose them do so for their own interests. The Queen Mother is also protecting her own interests, as well as the reputation and interests of the late emperor.
.
Zhou Chen adheres to one principle every time he goes to court: he does not support, does not oppose, and does not speak.
Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai were also very stable and followed the trend in this matter without expressing any opinions.
On the other hand, Qi Heng, who was an official for the first time and had little experience, wanted to express himself a little and actually publicly supported the official family.
Every time Zhou Chen sees this scene, he feels speechless, he is such a little brother-in-law.
In the plot, this guy was used as a gunman by the Queen Mother, and now he is used as a gunman by a government official. How come he has not made any progress at all?
It seems that even after marrying Minglan, who is like a good wife, Qi Heng cannot change his temperament, cannot see the situation clearly, and only does things passionately.
For this matter, the Queen Mother even called Princess Pingning in front of her and scolded her severely, scolding her for being incompetent in educating her children, ungrateful and so on.
Princess Pingning is also helpless. She grew up with the late Emperor and the Queen Mother, and is naturally closer to the Queen Mother emotionally. But the problem is that her son doesn't listen to her very much now, and she and the official Qi Guogong don't like each other.
I think there is something wrong with what my son did.
Her son supports the official family, and she has a friendship with the Queen Mother. Even if the official family and the Queen Mother decide the winner in the future, she feels that her family will have a way out.
From Zhou Chen's point of view, there was nothing wrong with the officials trying to compete with the Queen Mother for power, but he was really a bit ungrateful when he took the Emperor's Examination as a starting point.
In the plot, Zhao Zongquan still had the grace to save him, but now, his throne is entirely a gift from the late emperor. If he were not the late emperor, he would not be qualified to be the emperor at all.
As a result, less than a year after the death of the late emperor, he wanted to honor his father as the emperor. No matter how you look at it, it is ungrateful and unjust.
Of course, this may also be a common problem for most emperors. Once they sit on this supreme position, many things will be abandoned, but power must be firmly held in their hands.
