Chapter 946: The Bright Moon Shines on the River
"Why is it so difficult for you to say that I want to abolish it, those ministers don't know what medicine they have taken wrongly, so they have to force me to give them a promise, you say, do you say that I can give this promise, can I give it?" Zhu Zhanji said as he spoke, his face gradually became angry, and his tone was obviously a little venting, it seemed that he had suffered a lot for this abolition.
Yang Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Actually, the emperor is right about this matter, and the ministers are not wrong?"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment and said, "Whose fault is that?"
Yang Zheng said: "No one is wrong, the fault is that His Majesty was born in the emperor's family, do you think Weichen doesn't have this trouble?"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Not necessarily, I have heard that you have a lot of confidants, but there is no one who likes it the most?"
As soon as these words came out, the wing room on the left side immediately moved, Yang Zheng coughed a little weakly, and said: "What's this, the emperor doesn't know anything, I'm a person, I don't have any advantages, the only thing is fraternity! As long as it's the woman I like, hehe, that's my favorite?"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said: "All of them are favorites, I'm afraid that Yang Aiqing's words are not true, you are eyebrows with Li Yan'er in the Li family under the banner of me, I am very clear about this matter, do you dare to say that the girl of the Li family is not your favorite?"
This matter is spread in Jiangnan, and Zhu Zhanji's personal eunuch Chen Wu is one of the witnesses, Zhu Zhanji can know about Jiangnan's affairs, it is not surprising, Yang Zheng glanced at the wing room on the left, and suddenly said loudly: "Miss Li is naturally my favorite, but are other confidants, Weichen is also loved?"
Zhu Zhanji smiled, and no longer continued to ask, and the topic changed back to the matter of the abolition of the queen: "In the current situation, you are an outsider, you tell me, what should I do?"
Yang Zheng said: "Your Majesty has discussed this matter with Concubine Sun Guifei?"
Zhu Zhanji didn't hide it from him, nodded and said, "I realized the difficulty of the abolition, so I discussed with Sun Guifei in private. There are three so-called unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and I want to borrow "the queen has not given birth for many years" For the reason to abolish Queen Hu, but when I thought that Sun Guifei had not given birth to the royal bloodline, such a reason might not be able to convince the public, so I didn't want to fight this reason for the time being, so I really couldn't find a reason, that Hu family since entering the palace, quiet temperament, dignified and virtuous won the praise of the ministers, and somehow, he entered the eyes of Queen Zhang, took good care of it, and made his great cause of the abolition of the queen difficult.
Yang Zheng thought for a while and said, "For today's plan, is it to repair relations with the ministers?"
As soon as Zhu Zhanji heard this, he remembered the situation of being persecuted by the ministers in the past two days, and he was angry, and snorted heavily: "Repair, how to repair, look at their appearance, are there such ministers, because they keep saying that there are three outlines and five constants, is this the rhythm of the monarch wanting his ministers to die and the ministers having to die, I think it is true the other way around?"
Yang Zheng secretly felt funny when he heard the emperor say such angry words, and said in his heart: "It seems that those officials are really not ordinarily powerful, and they actually make an emperor who has just ascended the throne feel this way, so it can be seen that this emperor is not as happy as he wishes?"
Zhu Zhanji glanced at him and said, "What do you say?"
Yang Zheng said: "Your Majesty, have you seen how those teaching gentlemen deal with those naughty students?"
Zhu Zhanji, as the royal dragon son and grandson, the gentleman who asked them to recite poetry and books on weekdays was not to convince people with virtue, where could he be naughty and mischievous, and shook his head when he heard the words and said: "I have never seen it!"
Yang Zheng said: "Those teaching gentlemen have always paid attention to the one-foot class, but there will always be a few naughty and mischievous guys in the classroom, these guys are not only bold, not afraid of the teacher's ruler, when the teacher found out and scolded, there are even a lot of crooked reasoning, which makes the teacher very annoyed, so that the teacher has to use the ruler......?"
Zhu Zhanji listened interestingly: "Is that naughty student honest?"
Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Not only is it not honest, but it is getting more and more twisted, the more the teacher beats, the more the students twist, and the last one calls, the relationship is getting more and more tense, since then, the teacher looks at the students more and more unpleasant, there are a few precepts and rulers that are indispensable, and the students are not convinced, and they change their ways to fight against the teacher, and trouble the teacher, over time, the teacher can't teach well, and the students haven't learned the ability......" He glanced at Zhu Zhanji and said: " Your Majesty can understand, the relationship between Your Majesty and the ministers at the moment, isn't it the relationship between this naughty student and the teacher, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and I don't want the relationship between the monarch and the minister to be so tense, besides, Your Majesty has made up his mind to abolish it, and finally needs the consent of the ministers, if this relationship makes him twisted, in the end, it will not be half beneficial to my Daming. “
Zhu Zhanji showed a contemplative look, as if he had moved, to say that at this time, the relationship between the ministers was still very harmonious, Zhu Zhanji had just ascended the throne, and he didn't want to make the relationship between the ministers too tense for this matter, so after listening to Yang Zheng's words, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and asked, "What should I do?"
Yang Zheng pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "This is very simple, as the saying goes, "He is strong by him, and the breeze blows the hills." He is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river. No matter how strong and vicious the enemy is, he can be treated as a breeze blowing the mountains and the bright moon reflecting the river, although he can be inflicted on me, he cannot be damaged in the slightest. But how can I not hurt my body? Only if he is cruel to himself, he is evil, and I am full of true anger."
Zhu Zhanji is a smart person after all, although Yang Zheng's words are cheesy, but he still understands the meaning, that is, he can't do without the support of the ministers after his abolition, that is, only by easing the relationship with the ministers first, can he make the big thing of abolishing the post, otherwise the relationship between the monarch and the minister is tense, and it will inevitably be used by people with intentions? ”
Yang Zheng said: "This is my blessing of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Zhanji snorted and said, "You don't make a fool of yourself, I'm just afraid that the King of Han will use this matter to be unfavorable to the court, but I'm not afraid of those officials!"
"The emperor is the lord of the world, how can he be afraid of the mere officials?" Yang Zheng muttered to himself in his heart, but he replied cleanly: "This is natural?"
If the matter is calculated, Zhu Zhanji is inconvenient to stay outside, if those imperial histories know, and I don't know what kind of faint monarch he should arrange, he patted the jujube leaves that fell on his body, stood up and walked towards the courtyard with his hands on his back, just arrived at the door, I don't know what I thought, and suddenly turned his head and asked: "What if the ministers still don't agree to the abolition?"
Yang Zheng grinned and said: "Weichen heard that Empress Hu's health has not been good, how can he bear the continuation of the Ming royal family if he is not in good health, His Majesty can persuade Empress Hu during her illness, let her understand that she is weak and sick, she is unable to manage the harem, and the royal bloodline needs to be inherited, and then persuade her to abdicate automatically." Wei Chen heard that Queen Hu is a person who understands righteousness after all, and when she hears such persuasion, she will also fulfill Her Majesty, so that Her Majesty can not only let her beloved woman get what she wants, but also ease the relationship between Her Majesty and the ministers.
Zhu Zhanji said: "This is natural, I just want to repay my wish for the woman I love for many years, isn't it that ruthless person, Hu Shizhen will treat him kindly?"
After only this conversation, Zhu Zhanji, who returned to the palace, first summoned Yang Shiqi alone in the Wenhua Palace, explained Yang Zheng's method, and then asked Yang Shiqi if it was appropriate to deal with it like this. Yang Shiqi saw that the emperor was determined to abolish the empress, and knew that the matter was irreparable, so he had no choice but to agree, so he asked: "How do Empress Hu and Sun Guifei get along?" Zhu Zhanji said: "Very harmonious and dear." But I value the prince, and the queen is seriously ill and not suitable for a child, so I want to distinguish her mother. Now that the queen has been ill for many months, the concubine often visits and comforts her very diligently. Yang Shiqi said: "Now you can take advantage of his illness to persuade him to resign and give up the queen's throne." So it is etiquette to enter the pair, and the favor is also undiminished. Xuanzong bowed his head in agreement. A few days later, Xuanzong summoned Yang Shiqi again and said, "What you said is very good, and the empress resigned gladly. Sun Guifei did not accept it, and the Queen Mother had not yet heard. However, the queen still insisted on resigning. Yang Shiqi said: "If so, I hope the emperor will treat the two of you the same." When Song Renzong abolished Guo, he was more kind to Guo. Xuanzong agreed and said, "I will not break my word." And so the discussion was settled.
In February of the third year of Xuande, Xuanzong ordered Empress Hu Shanxiang to resign from the throne list, retired to Chang'an Palace, gave the title of Jingci Immortal Master, and canonized Sun Guifei as the queen:
Queen Hu, who has many illnesses, can't bear the sacrifice, has no children, and retreats with humility, so please be free on the table. I miss the righteousness of husband and wife and refuse to obey it. And the repeated statements are from what you want, and you will leave the palace. Its titles, its food, and its attendants are all the same. The noble concubine Sun, the emperor's ancestor Taizong chose to be a concubine in me. For more than ten years, the virtue of virtue is crowned in the harem. He has grown a son and has been established as the crown prince. The ministers are the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", the mother is more expensive than the son, and it is advisable to be in the middle palace. Today, I was invited, and Concubine Sun was the queen."
And Empress Dowager Zhang, the mother of Xuanzong, took pity on Hu and often summoned her to Qingning Palace. At the court banquet in the inner court, Empress Dowager Zhang ordered Hu to be above Queen Sun, and Queen Sun often felt unhappy about this, but she was helpless.
