Chapter 419: Canonizing the Empress?
The new emperor has only been on the throne for a few months, and many of the backlog problems in the imperial court have been resolved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info has to admit that this new emperor is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.
Pity...
Duanhou remembered that the purpose of his coming this time was to have a bitter stomach, he was really difficult to be a man inside and out.
A few days ago, the Empress Dowager recruited him, and the Empress Dowager was also there, and there was only one purpose for recruiting him: to persuade the current saint to marry a queen, and everyone chose it for him.
Somehow, I found him to persuade him.
I heard that in the second month of the new emperor's accession to the throne, some old ministers proposed to let the emperor canonize the queen, and persuaded the emperor to recruit concubines on the grounds that the royal family needed to spread the branches.
It's a pity that it was rejected by the emperor on the spot.
Later, there were still people who made suggestions to the emperor, but the emperor ignored them, and they were in a hurry, and even gave those ministers a charge of contempt for the imperial power, and dragged them out to blame the 20th National Congress.
Forget about the generals, how can Wenchen stand this, they were beaten and lay in the mansion for more than half a month, so far, no one in the court dares to mention the matter of the emperor's canonization.
It's just that heaven and earth are divided, and all things are divided into yin and yang, how can there be no queen around the emperor, otherwise who should manage this huge harem?
After Qianzong finished approving the last letter, he finally raised his head and looked at his father-in-law, Duanhou.
"The Duanqing family is looking for me at this time, but what's the matter?" Zhao Jin had just finished grading the recital, a little tired, and asked while pinching his eyebrows.
At this time, the south study was the two of them and Qianzong.
After Qianzong ascended the throne, he never liked anyone around him, except for his henchmen Chongwu and Ruan Hua, even the eunuchs were not often brought with him.
Now serving the emperor is still the former Cui Gonggong.
Duanhou was in a dilemma, and he really didn't know how to speak.
He knew the new emperor's feelings for Ya'er, and he was very pleased, and he never gave up looking for Ya'er.
treats Yan'er as if he were his own brother.
After thinking about it, Duanhou decided to explain honestly.
"Minister, on the order of the Empress Dowager, come... Come..."
"Come and persuade me to be crowned queen?" Zhao Jin seemed to know why his father-in-law came, and said in a slightly mocking tone.
As soon as Duanhou heard this tone, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Minister, minister don't dare!" ā
He is really a little unsure of this son-in-law's temperament.
Duanhou has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has already developed the ability to observe words and feelings, and he has always been very accurate in his temperament, but this new emperor ...... Duanhou sighed in his heart, the city was too deep, and he couldn't understand him at all. I don't know what he was thinking.
Just when Duanhou was in a dilemma, Zhao Jin's voice came faintly: "Duanqing's family get up." I know that you are caught between me and the Empress Dowager, and it is not easy for the Empress Dowager to do it. It's just that today I will clearly tell you that my queen can only be Ya'er, and the rest of the people are impossible. ā
The emperor's words were sonorous and powerful, and when Duanhou heard this, he was happy and sad.
The joy is that the emperor is so affectionate to his daughter that he wants to canonize her as the queen, which shows the importance he attaches to Ya'er. The sad thing is that Ya'er has been missing for more than a year, and in this year, they have sent waves of people to look for her, but nothing has been found, and it is really difficult to say whether her daughter is still alive.
As soon as he thought of this, Duanhou's mood became even more complicated.
In terms of selfishness, he naturally hopes that Duanfu can produce a queen, although the Duan family has been a lord for generations, it seems to be prominent, but the title has been passed on to his generation, in fact, it is not very useful, otherwise he would not choose to enter the imperial examination.
If Ya'er can become the queen, he will be a veritable national abbot, and his status is naturally not ordinary.
It's a pity, Ya'er......
"Your Majesty, the little girl has been missing for more than a year, and the hope of finding it is really slim." Although Duanhou didn't want to admit it in his heart, this was the truth. And he couldn't watch the new emperor and waste his extra hopes on his daughter, who was suffering from a hard life.
What's more, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will never allow such a thing to happen.
For the sake of the entire Duan family, he can't take this risk.
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Don't the Duanqing family believe me?"
Zhao Jin's casual and lazy tone made Duanhou's scalp tighten, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, I don't dare." ā
At this time, Shigego suddenly appeared in the study.
"Subordinates see the emperor, Lord Hou."
Zhao Jin saw Chongwu coming, and said in a light tone: "Chongwu, tell the Duanqing family about your investigation." ā
"Yes." Chongwu responded, and then said: "Two months ago, when my subordinates took people to the bottom of the cliff to look for Duan Niangniang, they inadvertently entered a hidden village called Peach Blossom Village, and after asking, they learned that after Duan Niangniang fell off the cliff, she was rescued by a person and taken to Peach Blossom Village to recuperate. ā
"What!" When Duan Hou heard the news, his face suddenly changed. Harim? What's going on?
"I will leave for Nanban in this time, so the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, as well as other courtiers, will be handled by the Duanqing family for me."
"Your Majesty, your minister, your minister."
As soon as Duanjing heard that the emperor had also dumped this mess on himself, his extremely well-maintained face immediately wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
"If this is done, I promise you one condition."
Zhao Jin showed a fox-like triumphant smile on his face, and he knew too well what Duanjing, the old fox, wanted.
Condition? Duanjing's mind immediately came alive.
Since he met Shen Wanyu in Gongshun Palace's mansion last year, he has been thinking about her and never forgetting her.
But Shen Wanyu is now accepted into the palace by the new emperor and lives with his mother, the Empress Dowager Yan, and it is too difficult to see her.
Duanhou thought of this, so he could only accept this drudgery with a dishful face. He asked the new emperor several times to let him meet Shen Wanyu, but the emperor refused for various reasons, but it was his unfilial son who got a token from the emperor and entered the backyard of the palace, as if he was in a no-man's land, which was really annoying.
However, speaking of the Empress Dowager Yan, Duanjing has to give a thumbs up and praise.
On the day he ascended the throne, the new emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the murder of Concubine Yan that year. The case was completely investigated in three days, and all the criminal evidence pointed directly at the Queen Mother, and finally it was found out that the Queen Mother's mother had corrupted the law, killed people, and committed a series of heinous crimes.
When the new emperor learned the truth, he was furious, and killed the queen mother and her mother, and exiled them, and the queen mother also committed suicide by poisoning herself on the night of the crime.
After the case was clarified, Concubine Yan's grievances were cleared, and the emperor wanted to posthumously crown Concubine Yan as the Empress Dowager of Shengwu, but someone came with news that Concubine Yan was still alive.
So everyone was happy, Concubine Yan successfully entered the palace and lived in the Wude Palace, and called her the Empress Dowager Wude, also known as the Empress Dowager Yan.
It happened so quickly that many ministers in and out of the court did not react, and everything was settled.
Afterwards, no one pursued why the Queen Mother was still alive? Whether they live or not is no longer important to them.
Even if all this was arranged by the new emperor, what could they say?
