Tieniu was right. Zhao Zhen's decree reached Tongzhou very quickly after being passed down through layers of service. The disaster in Jianghuai had long since ended, and the reform of the Xiang Forbidden Army had begun to bear fruit. As for the cult organization White Lotus Society, it had also gone underground.
The reason why Ye An and Fan Zhongyan still stay in Tongzhou is that the high-ranking people in the court still don't want to see them, and now they want to see them even if they don't want to see them.
There is a problem in the emperor's harem. This is not a trivial matter. On the contrary, it is related to the government and even the people of the world!
For the people of Tokyo, the disturbances in the palace are not only a topic of conversation after dinner, but also a source of concern for them. The feudal emperor's family is the belief in the hearts of the people, which many people will ignore.
This is especially true for someone like Zhao Zhen who rose to power in the name of a benevolent monarch. Due to the deliberate marketing of "certain people", the people's respect for him has surpassed that of his father, the man who brought the Xianping rule to the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Zhenzong.
News in the palace cannot be concealed. How big is the city of Tokyo? The news that Zhao Zhen wanted to depose the queen soon spread from the palace to the court, and from the court to the people.
When the people spread the news, Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to depose Empress Guo. No matter what the court officials said about "the empress cannot be deposed", he was fed up with the arrogance and stupidity of Empress Guo.
Everyone in the entire palace knew who was the master of the palace after Liu E's death. She was still so arrogant. Why could she be so arrogant when she didn't even have a backer?!
Whenever he saw her arrogant and jealous look, Zhao Zhen would recall the frustration of being suppressed by Liu E, and a nameless fire of karma would burst out from his heart.
It's not that he and Guo don't have feelings. After all, she is the queen that Ming Media is marrying and she is also the first woman in his life. There is still affection between the couple, but they still can't resist her hitting his bottom line again and again.
A slap on the neck by her was nothing, but this slap made Zhao Zhen determined to dethrone him.
If he didn't take the opportunity to depose the queen, it would be even more difficult if Feng Ping Lang Jing deposed the queen again. Zhao Zhen was not a heartless person. He thought of deposing the queen before arranging her to go to the Yaohua Palace to practice Taoism and cultivate her mind, in order to force her to admit her mistake.
It would be nice to wait until Mrs. Guo really changes her ways, then take her back to the palace and make her a second-rate concubine.
As for the position of the queen, he hasn't thought about it so much now. This position is too important for the Song Dynasty. Just look at Liu E and you will know that when the emperor is powerless, the queen's rights will be lost.
If it is too big, if it is not properly controlled, it will interfere with politics again.
After all, you can't trust foreign officials too much. Although internal officials are loyal, the consequences of eunuchs' interference in politics are still there. In the end, you still have to rely on the queen, but a woman like Guo is really not the material to assist the emperor!
I don’t know what Liu E liked about Guo in the first place and wanted her to be her queen. But today, all of this is her own fault and no one else can blame her.
In the palace, Zhao was sitting silently in the inner hall of Zizheng Palace. Chen Tong beside him did not dare to speak. However, a chamberlain came in and whispered: "Guan family, the eldest princess of Wei State is here. She is in the back garden."
Waiting for call in Ninghua Palace."
Zhao Zhen was not surprised by his aunt's arrival. With such a big thing happening in the palace, it would be a big mistake if his aunt, a relative of the family, didn't even take a look.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I understand, I'll go right now. Can the servant prepare something to keep out the cold if the weather is cold?"
Chen Tong said repeatedly: "The stove and Mrs. Tang are ready. This is yours."
Zhao Zhen looked at the exquisite Tang Pozi in his hand and raised his head and said, "Is Mr. Yangcheng County here?"
Chen Tong was stunned for a moment and looked a little embarrassed and said: "Guan family, the Lord of Yangcheng County has married the Marquis of Yunzhong County, you still..."
"Absurd! How could I have such an idea?!" Zhao Zhen was furious for a moment and glared at Chen Tong: "I just regard her as a sister and want to ask her for advice. You are such a murderer.
What a ridiculous thing to say!"
Chen Tong breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the official had liked Qin Mumu before and was worried that he was deposed because of another wife. In order to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the Tian family, he deliberately tested like this. Now it seems that this is not the case.
But that’s not to blame for Chen Tong’s wild thoughts. After all, the old Zhao family has a different interest in other women...
Zhao Zhen is angry and funny. As an emperor, he cannot keep the love of his children in his heart. Qin Mumu is very good, but she has already married Ye An, and Ye An is of great use to himself and the Song Dynasty. How can it be
The relationship between king and minister can be ruined because of a woman.
As soon as he entered the Ninghua Hall, Zhao Qingyi hurriedly stepped forward: "I heard that the queen injured the holy body, have the officials ever let the imperial doctor see it?" After all, he is his nephew, and Zhao Qingyi knew the character of Queen Guo, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand, but still turned his head to let Zhao Qingyi see the scars on his neck and said: "It's okay, it's just a few blood stains. It doesn't need to be treated by an imperial doctor. I will just use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment at night.
It's just that the pain in my neck is secondary, but the pain in my heart is like a thousand arrows piercing my heart! Auntie!"
The sound of aunt made Zhao Qingyi burst into tears. Zhao Zhen had not called her that many times over the years. He couldn't help but said: "The official family has suffered, but the affairs of the harem are comparable to state affairs. The official family should be careful not to be taken advantage of by others."
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly. These words woke him up. Even if he wanted to abolish the queen, he would not allow others to take advantage of it. Moreover, the matter had not been decided yet. He himself was also hesitating whether to abolish the queen now. Regarding the issue between the DPRK and the Central Committee
There are piles of memorials to the deposed queen, almost all of them are urging themselves to be cautious, and very few people agree with the deposed queen.
This is also an important reason for Zhao Zhen's hesitation. At this time, he most wants to hear useful analysis, rather than constant comfort and advice.
"Perhaps the officials should summon the Yangcheng County Lord to join the palace. Her ideas have always been unique..."
Zhao Qingyi looked at Zhao Zhen. Of course she didn't want her nephew to be deposed. What does it mean to be dethroned? It means that the position of the Guo family will be replaced by others. The Guo family is not greedy for power, but if another queen is replaced,
It is inevitable that the family behind it will upset the balance between the DPRK and China...
Who can persuade the officials?
Of course it is Ye An, the Marquis of Yunzhong County! But now that he has not returned to the capital, he can only let Qin Mumu take over first. The officials have always been willing to listen to her.
Unexpectedly, his aunt's thoughts were the same as his own. Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "I originally planned to look for Ye Hou, but he didn't know when he would be able to come back in Jianghuai. However, the Lord of Yangcheng County usually brought his daughters to the palace, and he was very familiar with me.
Internet, but this can be considered a family scandal..."
"Nothing is trivial in the Tian family!" Zhao Qingyi said with a slight wry smile: "You don't have to worry about these things in the official family at this time. The turmoil in Houyuan has already been spread everywhere in Tokyo, and there are all kinds of interpretations!"
Zhao Zhen also showed a wry smile: "How could even the vendors and lackeys on Imperial Street know about what happened in the Houyuan?! This palace of mine is really..."
"Officials, this is not a bad thing. Letting outsiders know about the affairs of the Tianjia shows that the Tianjia is close to the people. People can distinguish between right and wrong, right?"
Zhao Zhen was slightly startled, what he said is true!
