Chapter 945: The Emperor's Love
After that, Emperor Jiajing was determined to deal with the officials who participated in the kneeling Zuoshun Gate strictly. He first ordered the pursuit of the fleeing officials, and arrested a total of 220 officials from various departments. Secondly, Feng Xi and other eight people were severely tortured and tortured, and the army was used as a frontier. More than 180 officials below the fifth rank were given court rods, and 17 people including the king of the editor were deceased. Third, once again proclaimed the edict to respect the father and the emperor to be the emperor, and to book the treasure, the emperor will be welcomed from Anlu to the palace, and the two halls of Fengxian and Fengci will be honored. Fourth, in the summer and June of the seventh year of Jiajing, the officials who were vying for the great rites were further pursued. Yang Tinghe, a university scholar who has been dismissed, was reprimanded as "the chief of crimes" and reduced his status to the people; the late Shangshu Mao Cheng was accused of "not being able to carry out the scriptures and rituals," and Lin Jun "wrote on pandering" and took away his former official positions. Although Jiang Mian, a scholar and a scholar of Shangshu, Mao Ji, Qiao Yu, and Wang Jun had already retired, they were also stripped of their posts; He Mengchun, the right-hand attendant of the Ministry of Reprimands, "encouraged the courtiers and proclaimed the appeal of the courtiers" and "committed a particularly serious offender"; Xia Liangsheng, the Lang of the Ministry of Officials, "coerced the officials and hoped to fulfill their evil aspirations" and "caused a deep disaster," and they were all sent to their hometowns for the people. Emperor Jiajing also ordered the Ministry of Rites to reveal this edict to Chengtianmen (that is, today's Anmen), thinking that the officials of the department were the police department. The Zuo Shunmen kneeling incident ended with Emperor Jiajing's candidate father not taking the filial piety test. This great gift dispute lasted for more than ten years, it seems that the emperor won, in fact, it is a loss in the future, the Ming Dynasty since Jiaqing, the first auxiliary dictatorship and cabinet disputes, so that the court is quite chaotic. Not only did it interrupt the continuity of the politics of the Jiajing and Wanli periods, but also caused the wind of party unity and disagreement between the scholars and doctors of the dynasty, and worsened the relationship between the monarch and the minister, that is to say, the relationship between the monarch and the minister of the Ming Dynasty was no longer mild, but mutual distrust, which was fatal to a court, which was similar to the dispute over the national capital during the Wanli period, when there were two factions supporting the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo and the blessed king Zhu Changxun (born to Zheng Guifei) for the crown prince. In accordance with the principle of the Ming Dynasty's canonization of the eldest son as the crown prince, most of the ministers supported the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo, and set up the eldest son as the crown prince to Mingshenzong, but Mingshenzong did not like Zhu Changluo, who was born to the palace maid, but doubled his favor for Zheng Guifei, and intended to set up Zheng Guifei's son Zhu Changxun as the crown prince, but was strongly opposed by the ministers and the Empress Dowager Cisheng. Due to the delay of the Mingshen Sect to establish the crown prince, the ministers were worried. The court and the central government were therefore divided into two factions, and the partisan dispute in the Ming Dynasty can be said to have evolved extremely fiercely after Jiaqing and Wanli, so many scholars in the previous life said that the death of the Ming Dynasty and the partisan dispute actually made a lot of sense. The situation after the abolition of Xuanzong seems to be mild, and a little carelessness can also lead to the Zuoshunmen incident, Yang Zheng naturally doesn't want to see such a situation, although he has been confused, and he hasn't thought about changing anything, but in his bones he still hopes that the Ming dynasty will get better and better, and he doesn't want the Ming dynasty to fall into a meaningless battle, so after listening to Zhu Zhanji's narration, he didn't immediately reply, but thought carefully for a moment and said: "I don't know if the emperor has heard this sentence?"
In addition to Zhu Zhanji coming to complain to someone today, he still wants to find a proper way, after all, he has just ascended the throne, and it is not what he wants to make such a drama, at this time, when he saw Yang Zheng say a word, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What are you talking about?"
Yang Zheng said: "When I was young, because my vision was not so wide, and I didn't see things so comprehensively, I couldn't help but do a few wrong things, but when you look back and look at it, in fact, the wrong things back then, can you not do that?"
Zhu Zhanji was so smart, he could tell from these words that Yang Zheng was persuading himself, and he couldn't help but be a little unhappy: "Do you also think that I shouldn't abolish Empress Hu?"
Yang Zheng said: "This is the emperor's family matter, and it is inconvenient for Weichen to intervene, but Weichen thinks that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the court situation is not stable.
Zhu Zhanji's heart moved, glanced at Yang Zheng, and said, "You mean King Han?"
Since the two are friends, Yang Zheng did not shy away from it, nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty you think, after your Majesty wants to abolish it, I just told a few ministers in the cabinet, Lord Yang is an old and serious person, and before the conclusion of this matter, he will definitely not sue the ministers, how do the ministers know, will there be people from the King of Han who are making trouble?"
As soon as it came to state affairs, Zhu Zhanji's complexion immediately regained his composure, nodded and said: "What you said is that I am afraid that the King of Han is playing ghost in this matter, otherwise those officials will never be able to know, how can I do it now?"
Yang Zheng laughed and said: "This matter is easy to handle, the reason why the official in the court treats His Majesty like this is just because he thinks that Empress Hu is gentle and quiet, and he has always respected and loved His Majesty, so it is abolished for no reason, and it is just a little inconsistent with the rules of the ancestors?"
"Why don't I know this?" Zhu Zhanji sighed lightly and said: "I went from my grandfather to my father, from the time I said that there was no abolition, but when I came here, I made such a move, and it is understandable that the ministers have some feelings, as the saying goes, ordinary people have to divorce their wives and their wives have to commit seven rules before they can write a letter of divorce, and after I am abolished, I need more reasons to convince the public." ”
"Isn't this quite clear, then why do you want to abolish the queen?" Yang Zheng asked with some confusion.
Zhu Zhanji's face turned red, and he suddenly raised his head and asked Yang Zheng, "Have you really loved a woman?"
Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment and then understood, and said, "Your Majesty is for Concubine Sun, right?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Since I saw Concubine Sun Aifei for the first time when I was ten years old, my heart has fallen on her shadow, and I can't leave her anymore?"
"Ten years old, this is definitely early love, is it strange if your parents don't curb it?" Yang Zheng muttered to himself.
I only heard Zhu Zhanji continue: "We grew up together in the palace, and for a few years we have been like brothers and sisters, and we all think that we are going to marry each other, at that moment, I feel that in this life, just marrying this one woman is enough?" It's a pity that I was still a child at that time, and I couldn't be the master, and my grandfather originally promised me that when I chose a concubine, I would definitely choose Concubine Sun Aifei to sit in my main room, I was so happy at that time, I just wanted to grow up quickly, and then marry Concubine Sun Ai?"
"Don't be in such a hurry!"
Zhu Zhanji seemed to be immersed in some kind of happiness, and his handsome face was slowly filled with a faint smile, and Yang Zheng sighed in his heart: "Who said that there is no real love in the palace, you see that Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Yuhuan, Empress Da Zhou and Li Yu, Hong Wuye and Queen Ma, Yongle Ye and Queen Xu, which pair is not an affectionate couple, or the vigorous young emperor in front of him, how can he not be an affectionate man!"
"At that time, I was still too young, I don't know that sometimes I can't do what you want, especially the emperor's marriage? Although the emperor's grandfather loved me, he had to think about my future, so he changed his mind and chose me as my concubine. From that day on, I secretly swore that I must let the woman I like be the right one, so after I ascended the throne, I have not been canonized as the queen for a long time, because in my heart, this throne of the mother of the world should be given to my most beloved woman, not the woman I don't know, I thought that this time, I will reign in the world, but being a master can let my beloved woman get what she has longed for, but I was wrong again, although I don't like the Hu family, but after all, she is the princess of Chengzu, Renzong's crown princess is undoubtedly the original wife, and he has no other choice. He had to put the queen's phoenix crown on Hu Shanxiang's head and named his beloved Sun as a "noble concubine". This is something he can't tolerate, when he looks at the woman he loves with grievances on his face, he doesn't care about it, he must let Concubine Sun have the same status as the Hu family?"
Yang Zheng nodded, according to the custom of the early Ming Dynasty, when the queen was canonized, the queen was given a gold seal and a gold book; However, when canonizing Sun Guifei, Xuanzong insisted on gambling on this tone, and he must let the Sun family enjoy the same treatment as the queen. Xuanzong's mother Zhang was already the queen mother at this time, and the Sun family was raised by her since she was a child, and no one knew the situation between Xuanzong and Sun Guifei better than her. The queen mother, known as the "female Zhongyao Shun", adhered to the rules of the previous dynasty when governing the government, but finally did not bear to make her son sad in this matter, and she agreed to Xuanzong's request.
As a result, the Ming Dynasty's public opinion regulations that had been implemented for decades changed here, and Sun Guifei became the first imperial concubine in the Ming Dynasty to get the golden book.
Zhu Zhanji's eyes welled up with a hint of joy, and he continued: "Although I have done this, it is still not enough, I want her to sit in the position of the queen, so as to be the mother of the world, I know that she likes this!"
Yang Zheng was embarrassed, and said in his heart: "What is this called! Just because people like it, you have to abolish it, isn't this bullying people?" He just said this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say half a sentence on his lips.
Zhu Zhanji talked for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and said, "So I have to abolish the queen?"
Yang Zheng nodded in understanding, a man doesn't like the big wife, dislikes the big wife as an eyesore, of course he wants to kick it away, so that he can talk to the little wife and mine, a man understands. It's just that you are the emperor, this queen can't be abolished, you want to abolish it, but the ministers still don't agree?"
