Chapter 176: The Son of Heaven must have a father, and a father must have a mother
The Cining Palace was the place where the empress dowager lived, but in the Jiajing Dynasty, there were two empress dowagers.
One of them is the biological mother of Emperor Zhengde, the first wife of Emperor Xiaozong, Empress Dowager Zhang, and the other is the biological mother of Jiajing.
Therefore, the most strange landscape in the world appeared. Empress Dowager Zhang naturally refused to move out of Cining Palace, but the new Empress Dowager did not seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, so she had to move in.
In fact, the reason here is very simple. Jiajing was originally a vassal king who entered the capital to proclaim himself emperor. After all, he was indebted to be a good person. The more because of this, his biological mother, the Queen Mother, was even more reluctant to make concessions on his status for Jiajing's plan.
If the Queen Mother lives in other palaces, wouldn’t it be a joke and confirm that the Anlu family’s name is incorrect?
Some of the small arrangements in the palace have a deep meaning, not just where to live. The Cining Palace may not be better than other palaces, but it itself is a symbol, which makes it even if it is.
The Queen Mother will never make concessions in the pit and hut.
But Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't move. If he moved, the ministers would definitely make trouble. They just gave the throne to you, and you drove people away. This was a bit unkind.
But her biological mother, Empress Dowager Wang, was not stupid. Of course, she knew that the Queen Mother Wang was doing this, but she was just for herself after all.
Finally, the emperor made a difficult decision to divide the Cining Palace into two, with Empress Dowager Zhaosheng Cishou living on one side and Empress Dowager An Xian on the other side. Anyway, the place is big, so it is not too nervous.
.
In this Cining Palace, it is known as Nangong and Beigong. Beigong refers to Empress Dowager Zhaosheng Cishou, and Nangong refers to Empress Dowager Anxian.
Early in the morning, Jiajing had to go to Empress Dowager Zhang, the Emperor of Zhaosheng Cishou, as usual. Then he came to Nangong. Jiajing's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wang, was very beautiful. At this time, she was only about thirty years old, but
The charm remains unabated, but the Queen Mother's temper has always been bad. I don't know who offended her today, which made her furious. Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in Cining Palace were so scared that they didn't dare to show up, and they all fell to their knees.
Under her feet, the Queen Mother heard the Queen Mother scolding coldly: "It's so cool. Why is the Ruyi mirror gone? This is an object given by the late emperor, so you don't care about it? Could it be that some servants sold it privately?
Bar?"
Jiajing had just arrived here and saw that his mother was furious. He was very patient and tiptoed in. Then he moved a small stool and sat aside without interrupting.
The palace ladies and eunuchs were all silent and did not dare to speak. However, the eunuch in charge of the palace couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Empress, there are no people in the south who are not clean. The empress usually manages very strictly.
Is the servants who have this heart, don’t they have this courage?”
The Queen Mother sneered harshly and said, "Who knows what you think?"
The eunuch in charge climbed up the pole and smiled and said with apologies: "This is really accused of death. I think about it. Have you ever lost so many objects in Empress Su? If you want to steal them, you would have stolen them long ago.
Who in our palace doesn’t know that this Ruyi Mirror is the Empress’s beloved thing? Even if you want to steal, there are so many treasures in this palace, you will never dare to steal this Ruyi Mirror.”
"Well." The Queen Mother's face calmed down a little, and then she sneered again: "It wasn't you who stole it, did you steal it away by yourself?"
The eunuch in charge said, "This must not be an internal thief. Even if it is a steal, it is also a foreign thief. So I am wondering if it was stolen by others."
The Queen Mother said immediately: "When you say this, the Ai family remembered it. Humph, some people do not look like noble people? Fortunately, they are still the leader of the harem, and they can't even control their own slaves. You can pass the words out,
One thing, the Ai family will not be able to stop. We must let Dali Temple investigate, the Sili Supervisor investigate, and the Jinyi School Captain will investigate. If we do not find out, we will not punish these unclear things. If we do not punish these unclean things, the Ai family will
Don't agree."
Everyone quickly said yes, and the Empress Dowager's face calmed down a little, and said, "You all go down, look at your eyes clearly, don't let those cats and dogs wander around at will. Some people don't know how to discipline their slaves, and next time Ai's family comes
Discipline for her."
Everyone was as if they were granted a general amnesty and retreated carefully.
Only the Queen Mother and the Emperor Jiajing were left in the palace. The Queen Mother put away her anger just now, smiled kindly at Jiajing, and said, "Does the Emperor get up so early today?"
Jiajing hurriedly said, "Mother, I have a court discussion early this morning."
"Oh." The Queen Mother seemed to have changed her own person, and said in a gentle drizzle: "It's true, even if the court discusses, why not go too late? Is it just a while to go? Those ministers really don't know what they think in their minds.
Yes, thank you for your hard work. Emperor, national affairs are of course important, but you should also cherish your body and never lose the big picture because of the small."
Jiajing hurriedly said, "What my son knows."
The Queen Mother's eyes were faint, but she thought of something. She went to the dressing cabinet and opened a small box. She actually took a mirror. Jiajing looked closely and saw that it was the Ruyi mirror that the Queen Mother claimed had lost. Jiajing saw it.
I didn't find this strange, I was still calm and calm, and I didn't call out the Ruyi Mirror and found it again.
The Queen Mother approached him with a mirror, handed the mirror to Jiajing's hand, and said, "This mirror was given to the Ai family by your father. When you see the mirror, it is no longer suitable for staying in the Ai family's hand.
I will send you a message to you."
Jiajing took the mirror and took it in his hand to play with it. He sighed and said, "I remember how kind my father was back then. To this day, my son still remembers the time when he was happy under his knees. It was so good at that time...
"Jiajing seemed to be moved and sighed for a while. Then, he raised his hand and shook the Ruyi mirror hard. With a bang, the mirror fell to the ground and fell into several petals.
The splashed broken lenses flew over Jiajing's legs, and Jiajing was not moved.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but frown and said, "It's so amazing, why did you fall?"
Jiajing stood up from the stool, regained the indifference on his face, and said in a plain tone: "Since this mirror has been lost, let it disappear forever. It will be bad if you keep it. The father's voice, appearance, smile and appearance have always been to the sons.
In my heart, my son is not a woman, so I can’t think of others by seeing things. This mirror was given by my father and will never be there again in the future!”
The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at him with appreciation and said, "The son of the Ai family has grown up."
Jiajing smiled slightly and sat down immediately, as if what had happened just now had never happened. He owed his body and said, "My mother, there are some things you don't have to come up with. My son has his own opinions. Now my son has just ascended to the great treasure.
Everything has to be done slowly. If you do something urgently, the effect will go in the opposite direction. My son-in-law knows that my mother is planning for my son-in-law.”
The Empress Dowager's face turned cold: "The Ai family doesn't care about the matter outside, but the Ai family doesn't want to interfere in the palace, but the Ai family doesn't want to interfere..."
Jiajing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Stop, I will naturally follow my mother's wishes."
At this moment, the eunuch who had just left was back. He walked into the hall and saw the broken mirrors all over the ground. He was stunned at first, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. He wanted to escape and run out, but his steps were
The heavy breathing attracted the attention of the mother and son of the noble couple, and the Queen Mother's cold eyes had already fallen towards him.
However, Jiajing didn't seem to care about it, but just looked at the eunuch with a sarcastic look, with a sense of laziness all over his body.
The eunuch in charge did not dare to hesitate at this time. He trotted forward, regardless of the broken mirror on the ground, and knelt down with a thunderous kneeling, then kowtowed hard to the ground. His forehead hit the broken mirror on the broken mirror on the ground, and immediately he was bleeding like a
Note, but he didn't dare to wipe the blood on his forehead at all, but just said in a crying voice: "I will die, and I will die..."
The Queen Mother's face became colder and colder, and she said, "What did you see?"
The eunuch in charge was so scared that Qiqiai Ai Ai and said, "I... I saw nothing. I was blind. I am mute. I beg the Empress to be kind to you. I will be mute. If I lose my tongue, I will not gossip."
Jiajing smiled and said, "I saw it when I saw it. What's the point of covering it? Get up, as long as you don't tell it, who will blame you? You are the one around the queen mother, can't even believe you?"
The eunuch in charge looked at the Queen Mother hesitantly. The Queen Mother's cold face returned to some color as Jiajing said. She slowly said: "Didn't you hear the emperor's words? You forgot the rules of the Ai family? Why are you so reckless?
rush in?"
The eunuch in charge finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I... have been entrusted by Eunuch Huang to deliver a memorial. Eunuch Huang said that some news is very concerned about His Majesty. He had ordered before that, if there is this,
The news from the side is not allowed to be delayed for a moment, and it must be delivered in time. I heard Eunuch Huang's words, so...so..."
Jiajing's eyes moved and said, "Come on the memorial."
A memorial fell steadily in Jiajing's hand. Jiajing opened it, glanced at it briefly, and then said in shock: "What a lucky number."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but ask: "Why is Your Majesty amazed?"
Jiajing raised his eyes and said, "It's nothing, it's just a student, who has already won the Jieyuan period in Zhejiang. Zhejiang is an extraordinary place. It seems that I have underestimated this person. This person is not only determined and decisive,
I didn’t expect the article to be so good.”
The Queen Mother said disapprovingly: "After all, it's just a Jieyuan. The thirteen envoys of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty have fifteen Jieyuan every three years, which is nothing."
Jiajing just smiled and said, "This is different. The mother, the article written by the emperor must have a father and the princes must have a brother in the last examination was written by him." (To be continued)
