Chapter 278
"Where is Qingning Palace, there is no news yet?"
As the Son of Heaven, if the emperor is willing, he can be busy from morning to night, at least every day less than four watches to get up to prepare for the morning dynasty, which is a duty that can not be avoided by thunder, the emperor Chong Ling inherited the unification, and I don't know how many times I have been on the early dynasty over the years. It's just that after the pro-government, he gradually felt that the court meeting was just a formality, and the real political affairs could only be discussed and decided by the cabinet in the Wenhua Palace, so the enthusiasm of the court was reduced, and in recent days, it was mostly once every three or five days. However, the monthly New Year's Day is not daring to delay. He got up early this morning, sat down in the hall, and after receiving the courtiers' worship, he symbolically executed eight things -- over the years, this has been extended to the rule, and the eight things that were reported at the court meeting were all selected, and how the courtiers reported and how the emperor answered had already been customized. After returning to the palace, he changed into his regular clothes, and then went to the Wenhua Hall to really deal with state affairs.
Wenhua Hall is not far from the cabinet, here to see the sparse, if you have any questions can immediately discuss with the cabinet ministers, but the emperor's interest in this is not very high, now there is no capable minister in the court, all the seats are corpses vegetarian people, at the beginning of his pro-government, there are a lot of things to do in his heart, but after moving away a few mountains pressed on the top of the head, only then did he realize that he was pressed on the top of the head by Sanyang for ten years, and the new generation of talents in the court was not one of them grew up, and no one could be used.
During the reign of Emperor Zhang, the strong state was only ten years old, and it had been corrupted to the point that Wara frequently knocked on the pass, and there was no one available in the court. Sanyang misunderstood the country, why not? It's just a few turmoils, which is enough for the emperor to see the faces of the ministers in the court today: at the beginning of his accession to the throne, the old ministers were in power, everything was stable, and the atmosphere in the court was gloomy.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she has been in power for four or five years, but she has selected two Jinshi, and it will take me how long it will take for these young people to grow up, and the emperor's enthusiasm will gradually fade after five years. To tell the truth, the problems facing the imperial court now can be reversed by one or two talents, and he really has no bottom in his heart.
The imperial court has no money, this is the biggest and most urgent problem, the places where the money is used are increasing every year, but the tax is only so little. In the past five years, more than 10 times as much money has been spent on the use of warat. Originally, it was a silver vault that demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, but now it is more like a wound that will never heal. The members of the mission were tyrannical in the locality, and they were not respectful to the court, and when they arrived in the capital, they had to calculate the reward per capita, and buy the horses that Warat paid tribute with a reward that far exceeded the market price. This kind of atmosphere was cultivated during the reign of Sanyang Bingzheng, and the appetite of the barbarians will only get bigger and bigger, and now Sanyang is good, patting his ass and going for a hundred generations, and the problem left behind is not for him to solve? If you don't train talents for the imperial court, don't prevent the slightest slightest, and nip the disaster in the bud, what kind of capable minister can you say?
If he hadn't vaguely seen the problems in the government, the emperor would not have been so eager to pro-government. He was somewhat grateful for his grandmother's decision not to listen to the government back then, but in addition to this thanks, he couldn't help but complain, although the queen mother and the concubine also had a certain amount of knowledge, but they were restricted by the cabinet very much, and their names were not right, and they did not weigh the system in the court, and the courtiers just didn't take you seriously in their hearts. Only by marrying and pro-government as soon as possible can we reverse this gloomy situation.
However, the emperor was still too young at that time, and many things were too simple. Although he is not completely ignorant of people's hearts, he still believes in the truths taught by the teachers, thinking that he will take over the government as the Son of Heaven and will be smoother than the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is a woman, but she can be bullied, she was only fifteen years old when she first came into power, but she is a yellow-mouthed child, and she can be bullied. In ordinary people, at this age, I am afraid that even Xiucai has not been admitted to the exam, and the emperor himself is not a genius, who has been up and down by these eunuchs for decades, the first-rate intrigue, and the ninth-rate civil servants who do things, what is it?
It's been four years, how many dark losses have been suffered, and how many good intentions have done bad things. The frivolity of young people has gradually been worn away, and there is no ambition in ten. A good king also needs to have a good minister, the whole court is messing around, what can he do if he has a heart?
The mood of self-pity, every time after the court, it will be flooded, often from the Wenhua Palace back to the Qianqing Palace, is the emperor's worst mood in a day, today I heard that the Qingning Palace is still a person, the emperor's face is a little heavier, so shocked that the inner servants dare not do a word, originally wanted to suggest calling Concubine Zhou to accompany him, at this time no one dared to speak.
The emperor doesn't have the heart to get close to the concubines now, he is angry in his heart.
The young man is pro-government, and his heart is not empty, nor is it without mistakes and jokes. Ordinary parents, when their children just go out to do things, are they not allowed to tell some truths about life? Only the Queen Mother, since she returned the great government, she has no more words about the affairs of the inner court and the outer court, no matter how she makes trouble, Qingning Palace ignores everything, as if she doesn't know at all.
In the first year, he was just in charge of the government, and his mind was hot, and he didn't want anyone to point fingers, so he secretly felt that the Queen Mother was quite interesting, but the further he went, the more unhappy he became, and he didn't believe in evil - when he made Wan Shi Concubine Chen, he was also riveted, and he thought in his heart: If the Queen Mother speaks, how should he go back.
But Qingning Palace is still pretending to be deaf and dumb, and he seems to have no opinion at all about his preference for Wan's approach, the little emperor's words are all held in his stomach, and the feeling of being too strong and then falling short is really aggrieved, so aggrieved that he directly advanced the plan and raised the title of Concubine Luo. By the way, Wang Zhen was called into the palace, which can be regarded as a disgusting and disgusting queen mother.
There must be a voice this time, right? This is obviously to pave the way for Concubine Luo's name, after the queen mother is sealed by her son, she is really not afraid of doing something for her father?
Glancing gloomily at the music in front of him, the little emperor also held back a sigh: How can the Queen Mother be afraid of such a thing?
It is normal to have some thoughts when you are young, and as you grow older, the emperor has long realized this - it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to do whatever he wants. If you want to abolish the queen, it's not a big deal, my father has paved the way, and it's just a matter of imitating the story, although it is said that the gang is destroyed, but the queen has no children to abolish that there is an old precedent, follow the rules.
It can be said that the emperor was abolished, but it has never been heard. This matter must not pass through the cabinet, it will only make a big joke that spreads to the world, completely stinking his reputation, and making the ministers of Zaifu even more distrustful of themselves. The queen mother raised herself as an adult, and ran out of power for him to ascend the throne. Although he is not a biological child, he is also a loving mother, not to mention the abolition, even if he has a little disrespectful thoughts, he is unfilial. There is only one option for the Queen Mother, even if you reduce the number of greetings, it will attract the advice of the minister, and there is no need to mention such an impossible thing as abolishing the Queen Mother.
Still, whether he will do it is one thing, whether the other party will be afraid, that is another matter. The Queen Mother's cold silence seemed to be a manifestation of her fearlessness, but it reflected the emperor's own poor donkey skills and his incompetence.
It has been three days since the decree was given to Concubine Luo, which is enough to deliver the news to the ears of Qingning Palace, and there has been no response yet, so there should really be no response.
This is him, the emperor, who is angry outside the palace and angry in the palace. As soon as Hu Xianshi went, Concubine Xu Gui was extremely sparse, and she wanted to respect someone else to block the Queen Mother, but there was no suitable candidate.
The emperor bit his lower lip for a while, but after all, he snorted stupidly, and ordered the chamberlain, "Please come and accompany the queen." β
Queen Qian's personality is soft, although she did not give birth, but the relationship with the emperor is good, and she often goes to the Qianqing Palace to accompany her, although it is not as good as the innocent feelings of the folk couples, but the emperor has always treated her well, that is, she has never disobeyed herself, Liwan is the concubine, Qian did not even say a word, and said a few words for the Zhou family: "How to say that she is also the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son......
Whoever does not stand up, the emperor himself naturally knows in his heart, Zhou is a naΓ―ve character, and he has no heart, that is, because of this, he can see everything in his heart. After giving birth to the emperor's eldest son, it is inevitable that there will be some floating thoughts, the Qian family is soft and soft, and he can't hold it down, and then he will be crowned a concubine at this time, which will not be good for the Zhou family, but will harm her.
No, after sealing Concubine Chen, the Zhou family acted much more peacefully, and the emperor would not be angry outside, and he would beat his own woman when he turned around - but when he needed to beat, he would not be soft. It is his own business to establish who is the queen, and if the Zhou family thinks that he can walk sideways after giving birth to a prince, then he should learn some lessons.
There is also Wanshi, the waist rod is sometimes too hard, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable...... The emperor was carelessly thinking about the affairs of the harem, but he didn't have much trouble. Are women just playthings, and if they serve well, they will be rewarded, and if they don't serve well, aren't the examples of nonsense just there? Ordinary concubines, they don't even have to give the name of the immortal master, and a three-foot white silk is enough, who dares to say anything? Watching their intrigues, sometimes it's quite boring.
The queen arrived in the palace not long after, she saluted the emperor, and said some common words with her, seeing that the emperor was still absent-minded, she took the initiative to ask, "What is on the mind of the eldest brother?" β
The emperor did not hide from the queen - she is not the kind of daughter-in-law who blindly obeys her mother-in-law, although the greeting is impeccable, but it is just passable, not long after entering the palace, after finding out the relationship between him and the queen mother, the queen rarely mentioned the queen mother in front of him, and I heard that he was never mentioned in front of the queen mother. This kind of temperament can make him feel at ease, and if he has some heartfelt words, he will also talk to her - he has to tell her that now that Wang Zhen has entered the palace, there is one more person to share. "It's not the Luo family's business...... Dongchang has been looking for six or seven years, and I don't know where the Luo family has moved. β
As for Concubine Luo's identity, the only thing the queen knew was that she had the grace of nurturing the emperor, and the emperor didn't say anything else, but I believe she also had some guesses, "My hometown back then-"
"My hometown was hit by a landslide, and a village of people scattered and became homeless, and it was not easy to find it. Besides, at that time, Concubine Luo's family was clearly in Beijing and disappeared from Dongchang's hands - unfortunately, Liu Siqing had been dead for several years, and there was no file left for the events of that year, and now even Liu Zhien can't find it. The emperor sighed annoyedly, "With Liu Zhien's ability, there has not been a clue for seven years, maybe he didn't survive at all." β
The queen's face turned white, and she looked uneasy, "Luo Niangniang has a nurturing grace for you, the emperor won't be so ruthless, right......?"
After a while, the queen asked softly, "Big brother, I have been chasing Luo Niangniang's affairs recently, is it better to explain it to the Queen Mother - even if you don't say anything, you have to take the initiative to ask for peace." There are no things in the palace that are not spread outside the palace, how many pairs of eyes, but they all look at it, one more thing, it is better to have one less thing. β
Seeing that the emperor still didn't speak, she persuaded again, "If you delay any longer, I'm afraid that the rumors will change, and the imperial history will be published, so why bother?" β
In the end, the queen is still empathetic and can be called an interpretive flower. Although Concubine Wan Chen is beautiful, but because of her own talent, sometimes it is inevitable that she will be a little more petty.
There was a little more warmth in the emperor's voice, "It's okay, then go to Qingning Palace to say hello to my mother." β
"The mother must be happy to see you pass." The queen wasted no time in saying good things for the queen mother, "After the news of the pursuit came out, although the mother didn't say anything, she didn't go out in the past few days......"
