Chapter 206: The Emperor is in power and the generals are reused
"I've lost the hearts of the people? Hmph" The queen mother was very repulsed by the emperor's words, and even tilted her head and snorted coldly, "I lost the hearts of the people, it's not that you are playing ghosts!" Why, exactly? I am your mother-in-law, why do you always have to help outsiders against me, whether the mourning family is less for you to eat or less for you to wear! ”
The Queen Mother almost roared.
The emperor was not so angry, but sat calmly and indifferently next to his mother, and put his mother's hand in his palm and clenched it firmly.
"Doesn't the queen mother think it is strange? You have been in power for many years, and you have not had a single minister loyal to you. There are also the Praetorian Guards in the palace, who are not cultivated by their sons. After my father died, you locked me in the imperial study, guarded day and night. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for these Janissaries to be handled by their sons. But they all listened to my orders today. Tell me about those maids and eunuchs at the gate of your palace, why didn't anyone rush in when they heard your shouting? Why did they disperse in a hurry after seeing all the ministers? That's because you've lost the hearts and minds of the people. Gonggong Qin, who has been serving you back then, said that if he stabbed to death, he would stab him to death, and he asked people to carry him out so openly and brightly. Those palace people who carried the corpse saw it and couldn't go around saying? Do other palace people still dare to serve you? ”
"Are you teaching the mourners a lesson?" The emperor gave his mother a little bit of kind analysis, but as the queen mother, how could she listen to this, especially if she was a high-ranking woman and listened to her son's lessons, it was not pleasing to her ears.
"No, mother. Son, this is a kind reminder! You've been sitting on top of the woman all your life, and you're used to it, so you've forgotten the importance of people's hearts. If the country is handed over to you to take care of, I am afraid that something will happen in the future. You can rest assured. ”
Seeing that his mother always refused to back down, the emperor was also a little anxious, and his words became slightly strict, and his attitude was slightly firm, and he could not be ignored.
The Queen Mother knew that the general trend might have gone, and she could not take it by force, so she could only compromise slightly: "Okay!" Now that you have grown up and your wings are stiff, the mourners can't control you! If you want to take this country, take it! When something happens, don't hug the thighs of the mourning family, cry dad and call your mother's way! The mourning family doesn't want to care! ”
The queen mother is a little reluctant, but at the moment, even if she doesn't agree, the emperor will still be in charge, and the subordinates she has worked hard to cultivate will be gone, and those palace people who are obedient to the yang and yin on weekdays are all left behind at critical moments.
When the emperor heard these words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled heartily and excitedly, hugged his mother tightly and kept thanking, "The son thanked the queen mother." The queen mother can rest assured that her sons will do their best to govern the country well, so that the world will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment! "The emperor is full of imposing and proud.
The Queen Mother heard an even more headache, and she was as noisy as a mosquito, "Okay, okay, let's go out, I'm tired of mourning!" ”
The Queen Mother didn't want to say anything more to the emperor, so she turned her head and lay down.
The emperor did not bother his mother any longer, nodded in answer and went out of his mother's bedchamber. All the ministers who were waiting outside had been anxious for a while, and now they were relieved to see the emperor come out safely.
Lord Xiao was the first to go up and ask, "How is it?" But the Queen Mother agreed? She didn't make any unreasonable demands, or did she do anything to you? ”
Lord Xiao checked the old emperor up and down, for fear that something was wrong. However, this simple and honest loyalty was only because of the inappropriate words, which made the emperor not very satisfied.
"Lord Xiao, I remember your fierce loyalty, but please pay attention to your words. The Queen Mother, she has always been my mother, don't slander her casually! ”
Lord Xiao was taught a lesson by the emperor, and he held back his grievances in his heart, closed his mouth pitifully, and walked back to the other ministers in a gloomy manner.
The emperor was angry and amused when he saw it, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"That's it, spare you for a while. Let's go, my lords, go to court! ”
As soon as the emperor gave an order, all the ministers were in high morale, all of them tidied up their clothes, threw off their robes, and followed the emperor to the main hall with their sleeves. Behind him, the Praetorian Guard escorted the spear and clenched it.
On the top of the main hall, the emperor's servants went straight to the dragon seat, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stood left and right, knelt down and shouted three times, and then the guards who came became two rows and stood at the door of the main hall.
The emperor knelt down to the courtiers and sat on the dragon chair, and then with a flat sound, his sleeve robe waved, and a wave of people followed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The courtier's voice was full of confidence and hope, as if it were welcoming a new sun.
Well, the emperor glanced at the civil and military officials with satisfaction, and then adjusted the official positions of the courtiers, eliminated the rebellious ministers and thieves, and rewarded the loyal ministers. Then, near the end of the early dynasty, the emperor solemnly announced another event.
"Next, I want to clarify one thing, the Queen Mother was slandered by the villain before that General Sima was hiding the little lady of the Sun family, but this matter has been verified to be not true. The news that has been circulating outside the palace in recent years about General Sima's rebellion is also a rumor. Now I have found out about this matter and have given General Sima justice. His military seal and the position of general have always been reserved for him, so let's invite General Sima into the palace. ”
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military turned to face the door of the main hall, General Sima and his son came majestically one after the other, and all the guards outside the hall saluted in unison. When they arrived at the palace, all the ministers chanted General Sima to congratulate him.
Walking all the way to the dragon chair in the main hall, General Sima and his son knelt down and saluted three times.
The old emperor hurriedly stepped down from the dragon chair and came up to help, "General Sima has really worked hard, you have been wronged all these years, and you are really wronged." ”
"The emperor is too worried, and Weichen has not experienced any setbacks for many years, and a little gossip can't overwhelm Weichen. Now that His Majesty is back in power, Wechen is as happy as the ministers. ”
"Well, that's great!" The emperor was very pleased, and then ordered the eunuch to bring the military seal. The eunuch came up, holding a vermilion-colored end plate in his hand, which was covered with golden brocade, and the brocade was wrapped in the general's seal. No one has taken over it for many years, but it is still spotless, and the tiger statue looks even more heroic and fierce after being detached from the brocade foil.
The eunuch handed the military seal to the emperor, and the emperor held it in both hands and handed it to General Sima himself, who knelt down to receive the seal and thanked him.
When he arrived here, the matter of the early court was over, and then he withdrew from the court in the congratulatory voice of the hundreds of officials of the cultural relics.
But this is only the first thing the emperor does, there is a second thing to do. The emperor did not go back to his bedroom, but went to Sun Di's room. There used to be a lot of palace maids waiting, and after being beaten by the queen mother, the palace maids who were waiting outside the house all retreated. Today, the door of the house is full of fallen leaves and dust, but no one cleans it. (To be continued.) )
