Chapter 1411 The Eve of the Crown Prince
The news that the emperor decided to enthrone Empress Zheng's son as the crown prince was boiling as soon as it was spread.
Because it was equivalent to Feng Bao, Shen Shixing and Xu Xuemo as the soundtrack, of course, the officials from the internal and external courts first learned about it.
For the officials of the 24th Supervision Bureau of the Inner Court, they only care about whom they are appointed as the crown prince, and not about what traditions and etiquette are. So when they learned that Empress Zheng’s son was appointed as the crown prince, the voices made were basically the same: First, congratulations, and then they felt that they should be more filial to Empress Zheng.
However, it is different for the officials of the outer court. They are more concerned about the court's etiquette and ancestral system. In their opinion, things that violate ancestral system are not allowed.
Officials from the outside court all know this rule. Everything you do must be reasonable and well-founded, and there must be a ancestral system to follow.
So different voices were made by foreign court officials.
"The son of Empress Xianshu is both legitimate and eldest, and according to the ancestral system, he should be made the crown prince."
This is a sound.
"Empress Zheng is now also the queen, and her son is also the legitimate son, so it is reasonable to make him the crown prince."
This is the second sound.
When Empress Dowager Li first learned about Zhu Yili's decision, she thought so.
"Empress Xianshu is no longer alive. If her son is made the crown prince, will there be danger in the future?"
This is the third sound.
Officials led by Xu Xuemo held this view, after all, this would benefit his daughter Xu Wenying.
He has been an official for decades, but he doesn't want his children to get into trouble, and the children are not their daughter's biological children.
Xu Xuemo has always been a person full of reality.
But no matter what view it holds, we have to return to a fundamental question in the end: Why did Zhu Yiliu decide like this? What exactly did the emperor think?
...
In fact, no matter how the outside world talks, Zhu Yiliu was not very worried.
In history, why did the 15-year dispute over the foundation of the Wanli Dynasty remain stalemate for fifteen years? How to resolve it? Zhu Yiliu has thought about it many times, and he has already figured it out.
First, Emperor Wanli was not strong enough. If he had to establish Zhu Changxun, he would not establish Zhu Changluo. What else could the civil servant do in the end?
Second, if we have to follow the ancestral system, there is a way to depose Wang Xijie and make Concubine Zheng the queen, then Zhu Changxun will naturally become the first heir.
But Emperor Wanli did not try these two methods, and delayed them again and again for fifteen years.
The situation facing Zhu Yiliu is relatively simpler. First of all, Li Zhiyi is gone, and secondly, Zheng Miaojin has been made the queen.
Although Li Zhiyi's son still has the first inheritance right according to the ancestral system, the situation is obviously biased towards Zheng Miaojin.
Therefore, Zhu Yiliu was not worried about the enthronement of the crown prince, and he believed that more officials supported the establishment of Zheng Miaojin's son as the crown prince.
...
That night, Xu Wenying couldn't wait to say to Zhu Yiliu:
"My mother and the queen have agreed to take care of Sister Zhiyi's son, and the queen takes care of Sister Zhiyi's daughter. I have nothing to do and can only accompany you."
"Are you happy?" Zhu Yiliu asked.
"It's not that I'm happy, but that I need it recently, because I want to go to Liaodong and Jianzhou with you."
Zhu Yili was about to object, but Xu Wenying said excitedly: "My mother and her mother have agreed, you are not allowed to refute. My mother said, if you miss a big deal because of your love for a child, you can't blame me, you can only blame yourself for being useless."
Zhu Yili was speechless: "..."
Xu Wenying smiled proudly: "Then I'll make up for it, I must take me there."
Zhu Yiliu said: "I am the emperor and I will make the decision."
Xu Wenying raised her eyebrows: "If you don't take me, I'll go there secretly, no one can stop me anyway."
Zhu Yili shook his head and smiled: "Are you so willful and domineering at home?"
Xu Wenying replied with a slight slight response: "Well... it's true, but I also have to look at people. This is only true in front of the people I love, such as my dad, you."
"It's what your father is used to." Zhu Yiliu teased.
"If you really hate it... I won't change it, because this is me. Will you take me there?" Xu Wenying looked like she was a little arrogant.
"The court officials will object, let's see it later."
"At worst, I can disguise myself as a man and be your personal bodyguard, so that the courtiers will not know."
Anyway, Xu Wenying has some solutions. Judging from her attitude, she must go.
Zhu Yiliu thought for a while and said, "It's okay to go, but there must be a condition."
“What conditions?”
"Everything must be listened to me, and no refutation is allowed."
"Well, what if you just set out, or before you arrived in Liaodong or Jianzhou, would you let me come back?"
Zhu Yili was speechless, shook his head and smiled: "You!"
"Okay, as long as I keep you by my side, not to mention a condition, I promise you everything."
"One word is determined."
"If you don't keep your words, you're a puppy." Xu Wenying smiled proudly.
"Don't you remember I'm the Emperor?"
"Of course I remember, otherwise I beg you? But at Yikun Palace at night, I just want to think you are your husband. Haven't you told her sister? Usually, regardless of the monarch and minister, they only talk about husband and wife." Xu Wenying smiled charmingly.
Zhu Yiliu had to admit that in a dynasty where men were superior to women, Xu Wenying was definitely a big weirdo.
And this is what Zhu Yiliu admires the most.
...
The next day, Zhu Yiliu summoned Wang An.
The Empress Dowager Li went there and went there was a quick trip. I learned from Wang An that Empress Dowager Li only stayed in Taiwan for one night and had a long talk with Sister Wang Xi and Ma Dong... and then her mood changed drastically.
As for what he talked with Sister Wang Xi and Ma Dong, only the person involved knew about it, and Wang An didn't know it either.
But to be sure, the change in Empress Dowager Li's mood mostly stems from a long conversation with Sister Wang Xi.
"Long live the emperor, the Empress Dowager is really amazing!" Wang An sighed after reporting.
"You don't need to say this." Zhu Yiliu said.
"But Master Long Live, the Queen Mother's great enlightenment does not mean that she is not feeling sad." Wang An said cautiously, "On the way back, the Queen Mother's crying so sadly, and even told me not to tell Master Long Live."
"Is it for the King of the World?"
"Yes, I feel that the Empress Dowager has let go and let go, and then throws all her love for the King of the Wonders on the Lord of the Wonders. So after returning, I immediately apologize to the Empress and move to Yikun Palace to take care of the children for the Lord of the Wonders."
"I know what I know. I am asking you to come today not for this, but for appointing the crown prince in a few days. After that, I will go to Liaodong and Jianzhou. There are a few things that I need to explain to you."
"Long live the lord, please give me instructions."
"First, although you are in charge of the Qianqing Palace, I will give you all the safety of the latter three palaces."
"I must do my best."
"Secondly, when I was not in Beijing, I appointed you to visit Xingnong Group frequently, I love my real estate company, and the Beijing Department of Zhu Group that is being built."
"I understand."
"The third and most important point is that the prince's supervisory queen will be in charge of the government. If you think the policy and measures are inconsistent with your ideas, report to me immediately."
"Long live, this..." Wang An did not dare to agree.
"I always feel that you have a high understanding and are usually able to understand my will best. So when I am not in Beijing, you must learn to pay attention to all the dynamics from my perspective. You can give advice to the queen and the queen at the right time. This is a special mission I have given you."
"Long live the trust of me so much that I am flattered." Wang An fell to the ground.
"You just say you have the confidence to do it well?"
"There is faith, I am afraid that my servant will be humble and speak lightly..."
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. Just do it boldly as I told you."
