627. in the first place
This night was a sleepless night for many people, including Chu Shaoyuan.
In the small attic on the top floor of the stargazing pavilion, when the tung oil lamp was about to end, he flipped through the codex left by the emperors of Dayan in the past dynasties, including Emperor Mingzu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong, and Emperor Wuzong.
What he read the most was the codex left by Emperor Wuzong.
In fact, he had only seen several major events recorded in the history books during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, and it was the first time that he had directly looked at the codex written by Emperor Wuzong himself.
Emperor Wuzong really deserves to be an emperor who fought on horseback all his life, and most of the things he talked about in the codex were some of what he saw and heard during the Eastern and Western Wars, and he wrote five major codexes in a sprinkled manner, and in the first codex, Emperor Wuzong was so high-flying, so incomparable, and what he wrote was that he wanted to include all the lands that could be seen in the Eastern Continent into the territory.
is so ambitious, so impassioned, that people who watch it can't help but boil with their blood.
Think about it, Emperor Wuzong was only eight years old when he succeeded to the throne, and the early death of the first emperor caused him to have to take on heavy government affairs at a young age.
Chu Shaoyuan had thought that many people were inconsistent, even the emperor, and he had doubted whether Emperor Wuzong's temperament was really as strong and powerful as it had been recorded.
And now that question has finally been solved.
From the handwriting on the top of the codex, it can be seen that Emperor Wuzong is indeed a magnificent emperor, not only sharply pointed out the shortcomings of the government at that time, but also widely used talents, these people are not all Jinshi background, some people are very humble, but as long as Emperor Wuzong sees it, he will be promoted.
This is beyond the reach of the emperors of previous dynasties, if these people can always stick to their hearts, now Dayan is afraid that it will be a different scene, but unfortunately, people often lose their original intentions when they are in high positions, and they can do all ridiculous things, but these people are all people who are personally reused by Emperor Wuzong, it is conceivable that how many people dare to come forward to impeach?
So later, it developed to the point that no official is not greedy, no official is not corrupt, and there is a miasma of smoke in the officialdom, how can several princes restrain their subordinates in order to increase their power?
The next few codexes have changed from the previous passion, but have become more insipid, with more questions about themselves, and more questions about how to settle the people.
It's just that after all, it was Emperor Wuzong's self-question, and no one could answer him.
Maybe even he couldn't figure it out himself, so he wrote down those words of self-questioning, leaving a large blank space.
Chu Shaoyuan guessed that the next few books must have been written by Emperor Wuzong after his old age, so many of the things that were not mentioned when he was young were written in the codex.
I just don't know if Emperor Wuzong wanted to leave these notes to his father, so that his father would know that in his heart, his father was not the prince he wanted, or if he wanted to inspire his father to have such a judgment.
If you say encouragement, some are too hurtful, if you say disgust, since the throne has been passed on to my father, why bother?
This thought flashed, and Chu Shaoyuan was stunned suddenly.
At this time, the tung oil in the tung oil lamp has burned out, and the flames are fluttering high, and then there is a soft sound of "fluttering", and then it is extinguished, leaving only a trace of green smoke in the quiet room, over the small attic full of bookshelves, floating up from the skylight, and gradually dispersed, like the soul of the emperors of the past dynasties condensed in the green smoke, still guarding the land of Dayan.
Chu Shaoyuan didn't feel sleepy, he raised his head and looked out from the open skylight, and the stars were flashing in the sky.
The little attic was quiet, so quiet that you could hear the sound of your own heartbeat, poof, po
……
Emperor Wen's alcohol consumption is not good, after all, he was raised by the Empress Dowager Zhu Jin Zhenyu for more than 20 years before he ascended the throne, and he was not contaminated by the habits of martial artists at all, and several people close to him were not good at drinking, and after ascending the throne, no one dared to let go of drinking with him, so his alcohol consumption has always been bad, and he drank only a small pot of wine, and his steps were already a little staggering.
He swayed and walked down the Stargazing Pavilion, only to feel that these high walls looked really eyesore, and frowned for a long time, "It's really an eyesore, I should talk to the queen mother, these useless walls will be demolished, and it will be depressing to block here...... "As he spoke, he wanted to go to Chaofeng Palace to discuss with his mother when to tear down these palace walls, so that it would be convenient to enter and exit the palace, but he completely forgot that Chaofeng Palace was no longer Empress Dowager Zhu's bedroom at this time.
How did the eunuchs who followed on the side know that Emperor Wen was drunk, but when Emperor Wen was going to Chaofeng Palace to see the queen, they hurriedly followed and served carefully.
It wasn't until he entered Chaofeng Palace, saw Empress Wei, and saw Princess Fengyi that Emperor Wen came back to his senses, it turned out that he had ascended the throne, and his mother had become the queen mother, and he didn't live in Chaofeng Palace.
He staggered and tried to turn around and leave.
Empress Wei was discussing with Princess Fengyi how to get rid of her guilt after the palace change, and now that she saw Emperor Wen coming, she was afraid and afraid in her heart, and she was a little panicked in her actions.
Their actions made Emperor Wen's posture pause.
Emperor Wen was already drunk, and when he saw them like this, his temper came up, and he looked at the queen with a very bad face: "Are you so disgusted when you see me?"
completely forgot about the prince's palace rebellion.
The tip of Empress Wei's nose moved slightly, smelling the smell of wine in Emperor Wen's body, and couldn't help but think, is the emperor sad?
The more she thought about it, the more she thought that the emperor attached so much importance to the prince, not only let the most famous bachelor in the Hanlin Academy teach him the way to govern the country, but also let the loyal and brave marquis teach the prince riding and archery kung fu, the emperor can be said to have put a lot of effort into the prince, but the prince launched a palace change, so let the emperor down, how could the emperor not be sad and sad?
Thinking about it like this, although Empress Wei was still afraid in her heart, she still had a little luck in her heart, looking at Emperor Wen, that little thought came alive, and handed Feng Yi a look, and then a look of grievance appeared on her face.
When Princess Fengyi saw her mother like this, she knew that the queen mother was going to intercede for her brother in front of her father, so she hurriedly bowed her head and retreated.
Empress Wei looked at Emperor Wen, her head lowered, and her voice was extremely soft, all of which were what Emperor Wen liked, and she cried in a low voice: "What did the emperor say about this?
Emperor Wen was shocked, in his memory, the queen rarely showed weakness in front of him like this, she always looked up at herself with a straight neck, and refused to back down at all, when did she be so soft?
After getting drunk, Emperor Wen's mind was a little confused, and he looked at the queen suspiciously for a while, until the queen's heart was panicked, and he cleared his throat and said: "The queen is crying like this, but I am a little at a loss." ”
The queen was overjoyed, and looked up at Emperor Wen, her eyes full of admiration: "Your Majesty ......"
Emperor Wen has never spoken to her in such soft and soft language, he has always been straightforward, he will say whatever he wants, and he has never coaxed her, but today it is abnormal, which makes the little luck in the queen's heart more and more active.
She lowered her head and cried again, "The emperor was bewitched by a traitor, so he caused such a catastrophe, and please ask the emperor to see that the emperor is young and ignorant, and forgive him." ”
Emperor Wen frowned, looked at the queen who was crying non-stop, and recalled her words, the traitor bewitched her, causing a catastrophe...... What does that mean?
The queen cried and said this tentatively, and she didn't see Emperor Wen reply to her for a long time, so she couldn't help but peek at Emperor Wen.
I saw Emperor Wen frowning deeply, looking thoughtful, as if he was considering.
The queen hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "It was Liang Xingyong who was afraid that he would be questioned by the emperor for dereliction of duty, so he instigated the emperor, and said that if the emperor intended to depose the emperor's crown prince, the emperor misbelieved Liang Xingyong, so he would do such a wrong thing, and now the emperor has beaten and scolded, and the emperor has been in bad health since he came back from the northwest, and if it drags on like this, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to hold on and will go first......"
Emperor Wen grabbed a key sentence from this long list of words, deposing the crown prince......
Deposing the crown prince?
Suddenly, all his wine woke up, and when he looked at the queen again, his eyes were full of coldness.
"Then according to what the Empress said, how should I deal with this matter?" Emperor Wen asked coldly.
The queen was overjoyed, and when she heard Emperor Wen ask her how to deal with this matter, she immediately said: "The emperor did not do it right, but in the end, it was the emperor who favored the three princes too much, so that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu thought that the crown prince of the emperor would definitely be deposed, and the emperor asked the concubines, and the concubines boldly said that the emperor should no longer be so spoiled by the three princes, and the power to manage the Ministry of Works in the hands of the three princes should be handed over to the emperor, so that those ministers will not have such worries, and they will not instigate the emperor to commit such a wrong thing." ”
Emperor Wen sneered in his heart, if he hadn't been drunk here, I was afraid that he wouldn't have heard the queen's reversible rhetoric.
The queen has never been a person with a bright mind, and he has known this for a long time, but he didn't expect the queen to be so stupid, but he couldn't help but be surprised.
Emperor Wen's long silence not only made the queen feel uneasy, but also made Princess Fengyi, who was hiding in the side hall, anxious.
She felt as if she had been scratched by a cat's paws.
The failure of her brother's palace change, she had thought about her father's reaction, but it was by no means the same as now, both concerned about the queen mother and silent, which made her heart feel like hanging in mid-air, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
Listening to the inner hall, my father laughed coldly at first, and then spoke:
"The crown prince almost took my life, does the queen also think that this is because of me? Does the queen also think that if it weren't for what I did wrong, how could the prince want to replace me? In the eyes of the queen, should I also hand over the authority in my hands to the prince?"
Emperor Wen's questioning was higher than the other, which made Feng Yi shocked, and her legs and feet were weak and she almost fell into the side hall.
……
ps: The queen is finally coming to an end, and I feel relieved.
