60. The edict of the first emperor
Huang Shun looked at it, and it was the concubine Shun who should have stayed in the Fengxian Hall to pray for blessings!
The silver-red palace dress is clearly worthy of being worn by the noble concubine!
Huang Shun gasped, realizing that things were not so simple, and silently stepped aside, trying to reduce his sense of existence, he, a little eunuch, should not get involved in the grievances and grievances of these big people.
Concubine Shun is also Emperor Mingjing's concubine after all, and she is a concubine with a head and a face, identity and status, so in front of the ministers, it is not easy to lose the face of Concubine Shun, so she only said, "Why did Concubine Shun suddenly come to this Taihe Palace?" ”
These words are quite soft, and Emperor Mingjing mainly takes care of the Zhao family behind Concubine Shun.
The Zhao family has always been a piece of heart disease in the hearts of emperors of all dynasties, this hard bone, swallowed and choked, and wanted to gnaw on it.
Only the first emperor can temporarily make the Zhao family obedient.
There is no saying in the Ming Dynasty that "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" or "women are not allowed to engage in politics", however, since the founding of the country, there has never been a woman who has climbed the steps of this Taihe Hall in a dignified manner.
Everyone at the bottom of the day acquiesced to the saying that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", and Concubine Shun's move is undoubtedly a great disapproval of the world.
However, Emperor Mingjing on the dragon chair didn't say anything, and these officials had no choice but to shrink their necks, keep silent, and watch the development of the situation.
"The emperor is wrong." Concubine Shun said lightly, not looking at her son kneeling on the ground, a pair of slightly old but not cloudy eyes stared straight at Emperor Ming Jing on the dragon chair, through the beads pouring down the crown, straight into the depths of his eyes.
"What's wrong with me?" Emperor Ming Jing raised his eyebrows and said.
Concubine Shun smiled lightly, the curvature of her lips was just right, and her old face seemed to be full of vitality and charm.
Concubine Shun retracted her gaze, slowly unfolded the Ming Huang Holy Decree in her hand, and said, "The edict of the first emperor is here!" Don't wait for it to kneel down quickly! ”
The edict of the first emperor!
The ministers were in an uproar, but the instantaneous reaction was a "bang" and kneeling on the ground, especially the elderly ministers.
It's not that he has much respect and admiration for the first emperor, to the point that even the current emperor doesn't care about it. In fact, the former emperor's residual power is profound, and even now, the first emperor has been in the imperial mausoleum for more than ten years, and these ministers also have lingering palpitations.
The reigns of Emperor Xian and Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty were completely different philosophies.
If Emperor Mingjing is soft, the first emperor is tough, if Emperor Mingjing is gentle, the first emperor is violent, if Emperor Mingjing is kind to others, the first emperor is uncompromising, if Emperor Mingjing is nostalgic for the old feelings, the first emperor is iron-blooded and ruthless......
Take this imperial examination system, which has been dragged on for a long time, for example, Emperor Ming Jing is to discuss with the family in a good voice, and then use guò roundabout tactics to achieve the goal, if the first emperor is there, he will be a thunderous means, first issue the order, and then let the henchmen do it, and then the matter will be a foregone conclusion, and this family with a high eye above the top will not recognize it.
I can't tell which of the two ways is better, I can only say that the first emperor is obviously more able to deter the crowd.
Seeing this group of ministers reacting like this, Concubine Shun obviously also thought of the grand occasion of the first emperor's tongue battle back then, sighed slightly, looked around, and didn't care about Emperor Mingjing who was slowly walking down the steps, regardless of the die-hard officials of Emperor Mingjing's faction who had not knelt down in the court, she just looked deeply at Su Zheng who was standing there steadily.
That glance contained a lot of things, Su Zheng couldn't quite understand it, but he didn't need to understand, he just needed to follow the footsteps of the emperor who was now sitting on the dragon chair all the time.
Always figure out the emperor's thoughts, and then cater to them, and be a suitable loyal and good general at a suitable time.
This is the real reason why the Su family has been standing tall!
Subsequently, Concubine Shun retracted her gaze, put away the smile on the corner of her mouth, her waist was straight, and she stood there upright, just like when she was a child, she followed her female master to read a thousand-character text, strict sù, not smiling, and it was like the first emperor took her to worship the heavens, in front of the people of the whole world, reading the text, solemn and solemn.
only listened to her, and said loudly, "Fengtian carriers, the emperor's edict said, and the emperor's second son, Li Cheng, received the edict...... When I was dying, the emperor was located in the second son of the emperor, Li Cheng......"
Concubine Shun's heart twitched, slightly mourning, no matter how many times she watched it, for her, her heart would be full of Mofa's sorrow.
Her first emperor, until she died, was afraid that their mother and son would do something harmful to the dynasty, so she deliberately clearly stated the ownership of the throne on the edict, as long as you still want this edict, you must recognize Li Cheng, the rightful heir!
Should she be glad that the first emperor didn't give her a cup of poisoned wine and let her be buried with her?
It is estimated that there are also reasons for scruples about the Zhao family.
However, do you know that if the concubine promises you, she will not break her word......
“…… Concubine Gong's Wang family, treacherous and soft, may not be able to be the queen mother...... Today, the Zhao family is in charge of the right to deprive the palace concubine of her position......"
It is estimated that it is the time of death, the first emperor said it implicitly, far less arrogant than when he was young, but everyone present is not stupid, they all know that the first emperor gave Concubine Shun the right to abolish the queen mother at any time!
Counting up, when the first emperor was there, Concubine Shun was the honor of the noble concubines, and the Queen Mother was only one of the three concubines, and the position of a concubine was abolished, which was more than enough!
After the queen mother heard the news from the little eunuch, her heart was full of anxiety and apprehension, and she couldn't care about anything, so she also sat on the phoenix and hurried to the Taihe Palace.
As soon as I stepped into the door of the hall, I clearly heard the edict of the first emperor read out by Concubine Shun!
It turned out to be the edict of the first emperor!
She's not stupid, she won't fail to hear the potential meaning of the first emperor!
I felt that it was dark in front of me, and the steps were not steady, so I fell down, but fortunately, there was still water on the side to support it, so as not to lose my heart and lose face.
However, it doesn't make a difference.
In this world, the most painful thing for a wife is her husband's sentence of "treacherous and soft"! And it is the "treacherous sex" that is relayed by the woman he hates the most!
She always knew that the first emperor didn't like her, and she didn't even have any favor on weekdays, and she was able to have today's honor, which dragged her to have a son who became an emperor!
She wanted to step forward and snatch the Ming Huang Holy Decree in the hands of Concubine Shun regardless of Qiē, but she couldn't, she was still the Queen Mother now, and she couldn't do without the Queen Mother's honor!
She can't live without the dignity of the Queen Mother!
Because Emperor Mingjing looks like a filial son to the outside world, he deliberately added many palace maids and eunuchs to the original queen mother's honor guard, so the queen mother's appearance is very powerful, and people can notice it at a glance.
Emperor Ming Jing looked at the pale look of the Queen Mother, pursed his lips, but didn't say anything, the most important thing now is the edict of the first emperor in the hands of Concubine Shun, don't give Li Zong and Pei Yun any room to turn around!
However, Emperor Ming Jing was destined to be disappointed.
If this edict was useless, it would be impossible for Concubine Shun to take it out at such a time, and she chose to take it out when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were present!
This is the last talisman given by the emperor to their mother and son.
Just to prevent Li Cheng's mother and son!
Concubine Shun glanced lightly at the Queen Mother, who was half-leaning on Jingshui, and Emperor Mingjing, who was standing not far away, with a calm face, the corners of her mouth pulled up the news that seemed to be nothing, and continued to read, "...... After the second son of the emperor Li Cheng succeeded to the throne, he canonized Shun Guifei Zhao as Shungui Concubine, and ordered the virtuous king Li Zong to be confined to his fiefdom for life, and he was not allowed to step into the imperial city until he died...... Chin this! ”
The funny thing is that when Emperor Ming Jing first ascended the throne, the queen mother blatantly resigned her position, and the first emperor had already canonized it!
As soon as the words fell, Concubine Shun said with a smile, "Adults, get up." I can't afford this ceremony, respecting the first emperor is the duty of a courtier, a child, and a □□concubine......
This official is talking about the die-hard loyalists of Emperor Mingjing, including Su Zheng, who did not kneel in the edict, and the children, talking about Emperor Mingjing who stood there uprightly, his wife and concubine, and the queen mother who stood softly and weakly.
This insinuating remark made Emperor Mingjing's ears red, but his heart was quite unpleasant.
He has always prided himself on being filial.
However, what made him chill was that until his death, the first emperor gave Li Zong's mother and son a holy decree equivalent to a gold medal for exoneration!
No matter what the royal children committed, the strictest fate is nothing more than a confinement, just a place where they are confined in a circle.
Emperor Mingjing originally designated Shiyan as the most terrifying place, and if you go there, you have to go to half your life if you don't die. However, an edict from the first emperor completely turned his previous decree into a joke.
Although it is only an edict of the first emperor, it is just an edict, but Emperor Mingjing has to abide by it without hesitation.
The Ming Dynasty has always been to govern the country with filial piety, and pursued the "prince of heaven and earth", if even the Son of Heaven does not lead by example, and is taken to make an article by someone with a heart, the throne that is already suffering from internal and external troubles and is not very stable may be crumbling.
"Your Majesty, take the order." Concubine Shun took one last look, and the holy decree that had been in her hands for more than ten years was ethereal, and she said quietly.
In fact, she never wanted to take out a holy decree.
Once you take it out, you have to hand it over to Li Cheng, and I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to take another look at it in this life.
That was her last thought.
It contains the holy decree of the first emperor, all the cruelty and favor of their mother and son.
Emperor Mingjing's eyes flashed slightly, and in full view of everyone, he finally lifted his Xuanxi court clothes, knelt down straight, raised his hands above his head, and said, "The son of the minister has the order!" ”
