Why is this happening? Without him, Queen Mother Chen is just not confident enough.
After all, from her point of view, looking at the "mother-child relationship", Zhu Yijun should be closer to his biological mother. In her mind, no matter how revered the Queen Mother is, the king of a country in the Ming Dynasty is still the emperor. Queen Mother Li
The first time she threatened Zhu Yijun with the idea of "abolish the emperor and establish a new one", she disagreed - she was "Duan Shu", so of course everything should be based on the ancestral system.
When did the Ming Dynasty have the idea of "abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a new one"? To put it disrespectfully, even when the emperor became emperor, there was no such thing as "abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a new one" - no matter whether a certain emperor set himself on fire or disappeared, he was always the emperor.
No, it was only after Chengzu established himself as emperor, right?
The rules of the Ming Dynasty were still very strict on this point. When Emperor Taizu died, the crown prince would be given away by the white-haired man. He would rather let the emperor's grandson succeed him, and had no intention of changing the imperial line. This is the so-called ancestral system.
passed down.
Zhu Yijun's identity and status are obvious. With the words "Depose the emperor and stand on his own feet", the emperor, as the person involved, was so shocked that he lost his normal thinking ability. In fact, this matter made it impossible - the civil servants of the outer court would never
I agree, no one in the cabinet dares to endorse such an edict, and even if the cabinet endorses it, it will be useless. The Sixth Section will definitely reject it directly.
Do you really think that the two-hundred-year-old tradition of "zhengchen" is just a decoration? These officials are really annoyed, but on this issue of principle, they are so stubborn that even nine cows can't pull them back.
Therefore, in the view of Empress Dowager Chen, when there were important matters in the court, when the emperor was too young, he had his own orders and ministers to make decisions, and the empress dowager could help check them. But now that the emperor is personally in charge, of course it is the emperor who decides on matters. She
And the one from Cining Palace, two women from a Taoist family, have been involved in such a big thing, what kind of behavior do they have?
It's so ungrateful.
However, after all, the emperor is the biological son of the Empress Dowager Cisheng. If her heart is always towards Cining Palace, it will be extremely annoying for her to stand up and point fingers. What if the emperor is angry and instructs the outer court to alienate her.
With this title, if you cannot be buried in the same mausoleum as Mu Zong in the future, wouldn't that mean you are in trouble for nothing?
You should know that when Gao Pragmatic persuaded her to accept the "simultaneous respect of the two palaces" in the past, he used this point as an argument. It can be seen that although she does not attach importance to power, she still cares about the respect that the empress of the palace deserves.
Then when the emperor made up his mind, of course she would be willing to stand in the same trench as the emperor.
It was not convenient for Gao Pragmatic to explain these thoughts to Huang Mengyu in detail. He just smiled and said: "The Queen Mother Rensheng is not undecided. It's just that she understands the righteousness and pays attention to the emperor's feelings."
Huang Mengyu said "Oh" with a vague understanding, but Gao Pragmatic reached out and patted his shoulder and walked straight in.
He scratched his head in confusion and looked at Gao Pragmatic's back, full of questions.
Chen Ju came over and said with a wry smile: "Old Huang, don't think about it. We have seen a lot of Gao Shidu's abilities. Just trust him. You can't go wrong."
"You don't understand either?" Huang Mengyu asked in shock.
Chen Ju spread his hands: "Do you think I have that ability?"
The number two and number three figures in the inner court immediately looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In Ciqing Palace, Zhu Yijun had already started to tell Empress Dowager Chen his views and suggestions on how to deal with this matter according to the ideas mentioned by Gao Jingshi before. Empress Dowager Chen nodded her head repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Can the emperor That's the best thing to think about. In the final analysis, Chen Hong deserves to die."
Well, both the emperor and the Queen Mother Chen seemed to have automatically forgotten the Liang family.
Seeing that he and the Empress Dowager Chen had easily reached an agreement, Zhu Yijun glanced at Gao Jingshi subconsciously and thought to himself: Jingjing is indeed very good at predicting things. I wonder if he promised the Tongzhou Chen family any benefits this time?
However, these matters were trivial. Since Empress Dowager Rensheng also supported it, Zhu Yijun immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked Empress Dowager Chen to go to Cining Palace with him.
Empress Dowager Chen actually didn't want to meet Empress Dowager Li directly, because after all, this matter was to disturb Empress Dowager Li's cronies. She was worried that Empress Dowager Li would misunderstand her intentions, so she seemed a little hesitant and said: "Do we have to go to Cining Palace? Directly. How to deal with Chen Hong?"
Zhu Yijun shook his head and explained: "I'm afraid that may cause the mother to misunderstand. For such a matter, the son thinks it is better to tell the truth in person. What's more, the son has already sent people to call Yi Xi, Yao'e, Yao Yu, Yao Yuan, and Yao Ji. We all went to Cining Palace together... This matter must be resolved in front of the Queen Mother."
Queen Mother Chen's heart trembled, she glanced at Zhu Yijun, then turned her head and looked at Gao Pragmatic deeply.
Gao pragmatic bowed slightly and nodded, whether to express respect or to comfort her. In short, Empress Dowager Chen sighed softly, nodded and said: "Since the emperor has made a decision, the Aijia will accept everything... When someone comes, be prepared."
About two sticks of incense later, Queen Mother Rensheng and the emperor's guard of honor arrived at Cining Palace at the same time, only to find that Cining Palace was already bustling with activity.
The eunuchs outside the palace guarded the gate and every corner as if facing a formidable enemy. The maids also lined up behind the gate and did not dare to move around at will.
Empress Dowager Chen sent Huang Mengyu in to pass the news, but she did not wait, and walked slowly in with a dignified manner. Zhu Yijun carefully supported one of her arms, with a respectful and skillful expression. It seemed that he had been there every day for so many years, rain or shine. It was really not free to go to Ciqing Palace to pay my respects. The appearance of this filial son was unparalleled in his pragmatism.
As soon as Queen Mother Chen walked through the door, she heard sobbing and crying coming from inside. It sounded like there was more than one person's voice.
As she walked, she took a closer look. Good guy, except for the voice of King Lu Zhu Yili, which did not seem to contain tears and was just comforting, all four daughters were actually crying.
But Empress Dowager Chen can also understand that except for Zhu Yao'e, the eldest princess of Shouyang, who married Yongning first, Yao Yuan and Yao Ji are still in the pavilion. Since the fourth sister (Long Qing's eldest daughter and second daughter) died young but entered the family tree and If something like this can happen to someone with a posthumous title, then of course they are also in danger. Can you not feel the same way?
As for Zhu Yao'e, the eldest princess of Shouyang, she has more of a sisterly love and fear. Originally, she and Zhu Yao'e had the smallest age difference and the best relationship. Of course, she was extremely sad when this happened to her sister. Thinking back on it, Thinking about her own situation, she felt very lucky - at that time, the imperial brother asked Gao Jingshi to help her choose a prince-in-law. Although Hou Gongchen's literary talent cannot be compared with that of a monster like Gao Jingshi, it is not bad, and he has good appearance and good health. How can the Liang family's tuberculosis man chosen by the queen mother compare?
But the more this happened, the more scared I became. What if this incident happened to me in the first place?
The four sisters really held each other's hands and cried, making the Cining Palace burst into tears as if Long Qing had died.
As the only boy of the Luwang brothers who will enter the country next year, Zhu Yixi had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility and tried to persuade him on the side. Unfortunately, this guy obviously had no experience and was a bit clumsy. He couldn't say anything after trying to persuade him. After being famous, I only know "Sister, please don't cry" and "Sister, please don't cry", which is really embarrassing.
Queen Mother Chen looked at the livid Zhu Yijun beside her, sighed, and continued walking forward.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared from the screen wall at the door. In front of him was a man wearing a dark green and red Zhai robe, and a crown of twelve dragons and twelve phoenixes with pearls, jade and gold on his head [Note 1]. His face was as green as Zhu Yijun's. He was not the Cisheng Emperor. Who is the Queen Mother?
