Chapter 367: A Step by Step Review
Empress Zhang sighed softly and said, "How does Lord Yang want this palace to support you?"
When Yang Rong heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he actually came today with the idea of giving it a try, after all, what is the queen's temperament, can he believe it
Let him say it, he didn't know it, but now it seems that he is not mistaken.
After pondering for a moment, she said, "Niangniang should know the purpose of the first emperor to degrade the king of Han and Yongle Prefecture back then?"
Although Empress Zhang was only the crown princess back then, it does not mean that she knows nothing, on the contrary, she knows more than others, when her husband and her second uncle Zhu Gaoxi competed for the crown prince, which was not less bullied by him, almost unable to do the throne, if it were not for the then cabinet scholar Xie Jin painted a picture, in the painting a tiger with a group of tiger cubs, as a father-son blind date, taking advantage of the first emperor to look up, let him see this words, and timely inscribed a poem on the painting:
The tiger is the respect of a hundred beasts, who dares to touch its anger.
Only the father-son relationship, step by step. was able to impress the first emperor and officially canonize his husband as the crown prince, but that's the case, the second uncle did not let go of his husband, and harmed him many times, if it weren't for Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Bo and others loyal guards, my poor husband is afraid that he would have died under the second uncle's knife.
Fortunately, God bless, the second uncle's lawless heart, was noticed by the first emperor many times, but still did not repent, but built a private army, even if the looting, but also the use of public opinion utensils, the heart of the disobedience is obvious, and finally caused the disgust of the first emperor, in the fourteenth year of Yongle abolished Zhu Gaoxu as a concubine, migrated to Le'an Prefecture (now Huimin County, Shandong), the first emperor did not demote it to Yunnan, but migrated to Le'an Prefecture, its purpose, although she is a woman's family, but also vaguely know some?"
"The first emperor did this, presumably he had expected it back then, Le'an Prefecture is very close to Beijing, and it is not Nanjing that the King of Han is familiar with, once the King of Han has a plan, the court can deal with it calmly, I don't know if what the palace said is right?"
"What Niangniang said is very true, Le'an Prefecture is not far from the capital, even if the King of Han has a plan, the morning and evening will come, and it will be solved soon, the first emperor's hand can not but be said to be a good chess hand?
Empress Zhang felt the severity of the situation, the king of Han wanted to rebel, everyone in the world knew it, if he learned the news, with his advantage of migrating to Le'an Prefecture, plus his prestige among the generals back then, if he wanted to do something, I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult?
Yang Rong saw that Empress Zhang's face was pale, and he knew that he had seen the stakes, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the prince is far away in Nanjing, and Nanjing is thousands of miles away from Beijing, if the saint is really as Qin Tianjian said, he was the first to get the news, but I am afraid that it is the king of Han and the prince, and the prince cannot rush back to Beijing in time because he is far away in Nanjing, and the king of Han will not let go of such an opportunity.
Empress Zhang had already guessed a few points in her heart, but when she heard Yang Rong say this, she was still taken aback, and said in her heart: "The King of Han wants to seize the throne, everyone knows it, if the emperor really goes to a certain step, with the convenience of the King of Han in Le'an Prefecture, ——?"
Yang Rong said: "The master has a cloud, the name is not right, his body is not right, as long as the prince Shun is in charge of the world, even if the king of Han has the intention to rebel, it is also not right, and when the time comes, the world will rise up and crusade, the king of Han is not the first emperor, and the hope of success is only faint!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bean-sized beads of sweat overflowed from Empress Zhang's forehead, although it was autumn at this time, it was about to enter winter, and the morning in Beijing was still very cold, but Empress Zhang was already wet at this time, and a faint chill rose from her back, until she heard Yang Rong's analysis for a while, she was slightly relieved, and then said: "What does Lord Yang want to do in this palace?"
Yang Rong said: "The old minister wants to ask the queen to give the old minister a certificate?"
Empress Zhang said: "What certificate?"
Yang Rong stared at Empress Zhang's eyes and said vigorously: "A voucher that can make the prince return to Beijing!"
Empress Zhang was slightly silent for a while, suddenly stood up, took a bracelet from her hand and handed it over, and said: "This wishful bracelet was taken off from the hand and given to the palace when the first emperor gave birth to the prince in the palace when he was the princess of the palace, and since then, this wishful bracelet has left the palace, Zhan Ji knows the origin of this bracelet, you just need to give him this bracelet, and he will understand the meaning of this palace?"
Yang Rong took the Ruyi bracelet and stuffed it into his arms, nodded vigorously and said, "Lao Chen understands!"
Empress Zhang said, "When is Lord Yang going to leave?"
The afterglow in the corner of Yang Rong's eyes jumped a few times, and he did not answer immediately, many years of career as a horseman, he developed the habit of thinking about everything a few times before making a decision, this time the matter is very important, the prince can not return to Beijing early, but also can comfort late, it must be just right, the slightest carelessness will cause turmoil in the court, so he has to be cautious.
After silently estimating the possibility of what Yuan Tianhang said, he said: "Right now, His Majesty is determined to move the capital, and the old minister is afraid that he will have to wait for a few days?"
Empress Zhang suddenly heard the news, and didn't want Yang Rong to leave in such a hurry, after all, this matter still needs to be further arranged, the emperor is not dead yet, if the prince rushes back from Nanjing in advance, I am afraid that it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, which is not beautiful.
"This is very good, this matter is a big matter, please be more careful with Lord Yang?"
Yang Rong said: "Don't worry, the old minister must be very careful?"
Empress Zhang nodded, and after the initial surprise slowly calmed down, she was much calmer than before, and she couldn't help but be a little funny when she remembered her panicked appearance just now.
Glancing at Yang Rong, seeing that he looked like he was leaving, he suddenly remembered the matter of today's extravagant rectification, and said in his heart: "Yang Rong has always been resourceful, and it is rare to meet him today.
made up her mind, and Queen Zhang didn't say much, so she told Yang Rong what had just happened one by one.
The queen asked, Yang Rong didn't dare to slack off, he listened very carefully, and after understanding the queen's intentions, he suddenly admired the queen in front of him, not to mention her kindness as the head of the six palaces to her subordinates, that is, she could see the extravagance of the court from this little thing, which shows that the insight is extraordinary.
After thinking about it carefully, he had a plan as soon as he raised his eyebrows, and said slightly: "It's easy to say this, but it's hard to say?"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Empress Zhang.
Yang Rong said: "I Emperor Taizu was born poor, sympathetic to the suffering of the Ming Dynasty, since he ascended the throne, he has been advocating the heart of abstaining from luxury and frugality, and the self-discipline is extremely strict, it is he who leads by example, no one dares to plunder the thunder pool in the Manchu Dynasty, I can have today in the next day, and Tai Zu has made an indispensable contribution to abstaining from luxury and frugality?"
Empress Zhang obviously didn't understand, stared at Yang Rong and said, "Can Lord Yang be more careful?"
"To the old minister's view of this luxury wind is mostly from the palace, other soldiers see each other to compare, so that the luxury wind is getting stronger and stronger, try to ask Niangniang, if Niangniang made an example of the emperor Taizu back then, with the identity of Niangniang, I am afraid that no one in this palace dares to be luxurious, so that those officials outside the palace, people who blindly compare are afraid that they will no longer have the courage to do so.
Empress Zhang thought about it for a while and said, "This is indeed a good way, this palace will be anxious about all the concubines in the harem tomorrow, let them restrain their luxury, and advocate diligence and thrift to set an example for the subjects of the world?"
On the second day, outside the gate of Kunning Palace, the concubines, Zhaoyi, and talented people of the entire six palaces, Mei Niang, and Zhaorong all received an invitation from Queen Zhang, and they wanted to hold a big banquet in Kunning Palace.
Just over half of the morning, some of the ladies of Haoming and some of the concubines who rarely show their heads on weekdays, they can't wait to walk out of their palaces
Approached Kunning Palace.
Today's banquet is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so these concubines, talented people continue to dress themselves gorgeously, showing their jewelry, that is, the maids beside them, and the maids are all brightly dressed, full of red light, and the necks and wrists are all royal style.
The entire Kunning Palace was extremely lively because of these concubines, talents, and ladies who went to the banquet.
Since the construction of Kunning Palace, has been used as the queen's dormitory, those concubines, talented people are also in the palace, but rarely come to this Kunning Palace, many people are still the first time to come, and those Hao Ming ladies have no chance to come to the palace compound on weekdays, the legendary Kunning Palace is full of curiosity, one by one look around, see the beautiful and gorgeous wall, lighting, flowers and plants, tables, chairs and benches have caused a lot of exclamations, and those concubines are for this has always been virtuous, deep Emperor Xu, Queen Xu, Today's saints, the life of Empress Zhang, who was liked by the Manchu Dynasty, is more interested.
They are accustomed to seeing the carved dragons and paintings in the Forbidden City, and they are not as curious as those ladies of Haoming, they each carefully looked at Queen Zhang's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and their eyes fell more on the tables, chairs and benches on the house, and soon they found that the entire Kunning Palace used ordinary people's tables, chairs and benches, instead of the legendary agarwood is the carpet that is paved is only an ordinary carpet made in China, not a carpet brought back from Persia, which makes them puzzled, and at the same time secretly proud in their hearts:" Is this the queen's bedroom, not as gorgeous as herself, it seems that the queen of the world is nothing more than that?"
