Chapter 298
According to legal theory, this person is now just a traitor who is waiting for the crime - and he has committed the two major crimes of leading the army and pretending to be the emperor at the same time, which is enough for more than 20 tribes, and even if the news is quickly sent to Beijing, it is impossible for the imperial court to make any special response to it. It's nothing more than many ministers who still have orthodoxy in their hearts, secretly sighing, who dares to say anything more in this situation? Don't look at many things, the ministers dare to blow their beards and stare at the emperor, but when the person has died of illness and the remaining two princes are extremely young, no one will touch this topic at all.
"Bao Shiyu's recital was also handed over." When the emperor went to Qingning Palace to ask for peace, he also talked about it. "I heard that I had a high fever due to the cold at the post station, and the illness became heavy all of a sudden, and I asked for a doctor from Ulzhou Pegasus, but it was to no avail, and I had a high fever on the way to Ulzhou."
Han Nushi also sighed on the side, "I heard that there is no shortage of hardships outside the plug, I think the foundation has been emptied, but it is still struggling to support, as soon as I return to my homeland and relax, I can't stand it anymore." β
In fact, since this incident happened in the territory of the country, it was an accident and it would not become an accident, as long as it was a brother and a brother, the story of the axe and the candle shadow has never been less. No matter how good the surface work is, some people will inevitably be suspicious. What kind of stuff is bitter or something, but it's just an excuse. Xu Xun listened to these faΓ§ade words, and asked her to say it happily, but she didn't want to do it, she smiled and listened to the emperor and Han Nushi singing together, and she also carefully observed her adopted son without a trace.
It has been more than a year since he succeeded to the throne, and the greenness and helplessness between the emperor's eyebrows and eyes have gradually faded, and he has become more and more like an emperor - one of the most obvious manifestations is that he has learned to be reserved, to learn to turn a blind eye.
In this matter, the emperor's role is indeed very simple, he didn't know anything, he didn't ask anything, he just silently obeyed Xu Xun's arrangement. The gesture made externally, like a slightly weak filial son, unable to disobey the arrangement of his adoptive mother - under the decoration of filial piety, many faults have room for argument. Even in the history books in the future, this matter will be counted on Xu Xun's head, and at most he will say 'unspeakable'.
Xu Xun also needed him to have such an attitude, she even hoped that the emperor would sincerely feel that she was forced to do this, and he himself didn't want to. Although she wouldn't have done so if she hadn't noticed his faint suspicion and resistance to the first emperor, how old is the emperor this year? After all, he is a brother with the first emperor, if he bears the burden of such a 'deliberate killing brother', I am afraid that even he will be unable to forgive himself. In this case, it is better to deceive yourself, anyway, the mother makes a mistake, and the son can't say anything, so that everyone has their own place, isn't it good?
Although there was indeed some sadness between his eyebrows when he talked about the news of that death, how familiar was Xu Xun with the emperor? Judging from his relaxed shoulders and straight back, the news of this death certainly made him sad, but it was more likely to be light. - This is nothing unusual, half of the emperors are like this, family affection is important, but compared with the throne, it is as light as a feather.
"After the first seven days have passed," she said, "you can also give the first emperor a nickname and seal the tomb." β
"Yes," said the Emperor, "there is already a statement about this today. β
There must be people who are orthodox, but there are also as many speculators, and there will be no shortage of people who are willing to put themselves in his shoes around the emperor. It's not, just handed over the words, and someone rushed to pick it up. You must know that the tomb of the first emperor has been built for a long time, but there has been no big funeral, the emperor does not mention it, and no one in the court urges it, everyone is waiting for an opportunity - now, it is naturally the best opportunity.
"Your two nephews should also be crowned." Xu Xun reminded again, "But ...... Don't seal it in Shandong. β
This joke was a bit bad, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and felt that it was inappropriate, and his expression was a little tangled for a while, "The child knows, mother, please rest assured." β
"I'm so relieved." Xu Xun nodded, and said plainly, "Don't be too harsh when you set the number, of course, you don't need to be overly praised, anyway, it's plain." β
Everyone has been killed, and if the nickname is returned to such evil words as a concealment and stabbing, it will inevitably make people talk about the emperor being too mean and unkind. Set a good nickname, and then have a grand funeral, treat the heirs well, and hint that some henchmen will guide public opinion, and there will be more voices singing praises for the emperor. If the responsibility for killing the former emperor is put on the queen mother, the emperor himself will suddenly be as pure as a white lotus - don't underestimate such an image building, although there is a suspicion of self-deception, but without this reputation, even the emperor's affairs will be affected. After all, because of the special position, the emperor's natural authority is not heavy, and he himself has a good reputation, and there will be fewer cases where the six ministers are unruly and connect with each other in private, so that the relationship between the monarch and the minister will not be too-for-tat, otherwise, if there is a slightly stronger minister as a leader, it is not a joke to epose the emperor. When Xu Xun asked about politics back then, how could he not know how easy it was to set aside a half-layman? Unless he has the determination to make a fuss, the reputation of the emperor is also extremely important to his governance.
How the emperor himself, Xu Xun knows best, not only does he not have the determination to make a fool of himself, but he is also forward-looking, she suspects that if she does not come forward by herself, she will undoubtedly solve the first emperor, and he will never make a decision on the question of whether to kill or not. - How does he sit comfortably on the throne with this question? I'm afraid that this matter is accumulated in my heart, and I don't know if I will get sick in the end, no matter what, now that there is a result, the past has become a thing of the past after all, and in the future, everyone can rest assured.
The mother and son discussed it, and the treatment behind the emperor was roughly determined, and some details were left to the ministers to worry about, and the emperor sat for a while and asked about his sister. "Why haven't you seen it recently?"
"The child has chickenpox, take care of it at home." Xu Xun said, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen each other for two months, the last time she came in, and said that the little mirror you rewarded her with was extremely ingenious, very bright, and a rare treasure in the world, and she didn't dare to accept itβwhat was so rare, even I had never seen it." β
"I'll let my sister bring it in and show it to you next time." The emperor smiled and said, "It was turned out when the warehouse of the Qianqing Palace was tidyed up, and it happened that Ma Shi was on the side, and he said that this is the favorite thing in the hands of the first emperor, and the first emperor has been secretly collecting it, and no one has ever seen it - a palm-sized mirror box, after opening it, it is a piece of clear water glass, and a silver sheet is pasted on the back, so it is very clear to the people." Although I thought it was good, the mirror was too small for me to use on weekdays, so I thought my sister would like it, so I sent it to my sister. β
"It's rare for you to have such a good thing," Xu Xun couldn't help but say a few polite words, "It's good for the queen, or for the Tang concubine, what are you doing for her, your nephews are extremely naughty, what a pity if they are broken?" β
"It's just a good thing, so I want to leave it to my sister." The emperor said, and suddenly smiled, "I still remember when I was a child, my sister's unworn dress was sent to me, although the adoptive mother accepted it, but she was not very happy, and a few sisters who were waiting around her wiped their tears behind their backs, saying that we were bullied, and we didn't even deserve to wear a new dress." β
Xu Xun also remembered this incident, although she didn't say anything in front of the child at that time, she called Mama Qian behind her back and counted her down, and the maids who failed to restrain the little ones were sent away. However, the child was still young at the time, and he passed without taking it seriously, but although Zhuang'er didn't mention it, he did remember it in his heart.
"When I was ignorant when I was a child, when I knew my life experience, I often didn't like my sister a little." The emperor rushed in front of Xu Xun and said with a smile, "Now that I have grown up, I look back and think about it, but I understand my sister's thoughts." When I was a child, my mother treated us very strictly, and the regular dress was already a rare beautiful dress, and if it was dirty, it would be punished...... I can't wear it, but it's a good thing, so my sister thought about leaving it to me...... In her heart, I am my younger brother, and the family does not speak two words, and I have never thought of avoiding any suspicion. But the adoptive mothers and palace maids who know my background can't help but be careful. β
Xu Xun didn't expect the emperor to say this, but he was taken aback - what the emperor was talking about was obviously not a dot, or the dress, or the mirror.
"I'm afraid that my mother or grandmothers said something, and my sister never sent her own things in the future, but when I grow up, I hope that my sister can treat me like this again...... People have to grow up to understand that the least thing in this world is to treat your own family sincerely. The emperor glanced at Xu Xun deeply, "Between my family, there are many things that need no words, and the feelings are in my heart. β
Although it is unlikely that the emperor will pretend to be stupid to the end, but for many years, no one has said such heart-wrenching words, or even some fleshy words, Xu Xun really doesn't know how to answer for a while - even if she does this, she is not thinking about the emperor in general, but now that the emperor has expressed his position, how can she not be pleased?
This child, after all, has grown up and has learned to care for her mother in turn and make her feel at ease.
"If only you and I understood it in our hearts." She said slowly, "Zhuang'er, after this matter is done, my mother has nothing to worry about, the only worry is that your heir is not strong enough......"
"I'm still young." The emperor smiled, after all, he was a young man, and after he went to his confidants, his mood was brisk, and he often thought about things optimistically, so it was impossible to be worried all the time. "Dad, at my age, I didn't even give birth to my eldest sister, and you are really too worried about it."
Xu Xun thought about it, and couldn't help but smile, "When I'm old, that's it, I always have something in my heart." β
"If you want to talk about it now, it's actually not nothing...... the emperor talked to Xu Xun about the matter in his backyard, "I said that the Wang family has been a few times, but she didn't listen, and she still couldn't get along with the Hang family, but she ran to Empress Zhuangsu when she saw the sky." I heard Concubine Tang tell me that the queen actually said that the crown prince should be the eldest son of the former emperor - but there is no other circumstantial evidence, just rely on Concubine Tang to say this, and I don't know if it's true or not. β
The emperor and his father are a problem, and the relationship with the empress is not good. However, he is not very fond of the prince's biological mother, Concubine Hang, but he is the most fond of Concubine Tang, who has recently entered the palace for a long time. Fortunately, although he is petted, he will not be dizzy, and he will blindly listen to and believe Concubine Tang's words, and he will still think a little.
- But then again, Xu Xun really believes that Queen Wang may say that 'the crown prince should be the eldest son of the former emperor', since she was still Princess Yu, her temper has been so hard that she is not the same, and Queen Qian are completely two extremes, the relationship between the two couples has not been good, and Queen Wang has always been angry about the fact that she has an eldest son not long after she passed the door. This woman's political literacy is about the level of Empress Zhuang Su, and she will not be surprised if she is angry one day and bursts out such a sentence.
"You can take care of the backyard yourself." In this matter, she is unwilling to share the emperor's worries, even if she is her own mother, she is involved in the affairs of her son's backyard, and there are few good beginnings and good ends, and Queen Chengxiao is the best proof of this. "I'm not afraid to make it clear to you, pointing to the harmony of the concubines, it's a fantasy, there is no solution to this matter once and for all, what to do, you still have to think for yourself, there is a horizontal and vertical one, the reproduction and upbringing of the heirs must not be delayed."
As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning, what did he mean, "Wang's side, you have to pay attention, it's okay next to you, if it's really right and wrong, and you fight with Concubine Hang to the point that you have any thoughts about the prince, then you naturally have to talk about her." β
After Xu Xun's statement, the emperor's expression became more and more determined, he nodded, and snorted softly, "I know...... Let's see what she does. β
The affairs of the court and the central government are generally as discussed by the mother and son, but in a few days, Taichang Temple seems to have suddenly come back to his senses, and finally sealed a number of nicknames and temple numbers drawn up for the first emperor - due to the rich and colorful life experience of the first emperor and the extremely sensitive death process, the lament that was originally very suitable for him was discarded: after all, one of the meanings of the lamentation word is 'execution is unjust', which means that the person died wrongly, and was killed by a foreign race or minister. Although it was ostensibly killed for Warat, who knows if the emperor would understand it as a hint after this was sent?
Coupled with a batch of evil words, everyone figured out the emperor's intentions, and they were all vetoed, and what was presented was a relatively simple intention of Chong, Xi, Huai, etc., and the emperor took the purest plan to not be able to say that the Xizong Temple number was settled. Coupled with some nicknames stuffed in at will, Emperor Xi Zong'an's 'clothed mound' was buried in early March, and if it was to be opened again in the future, it would be buried after the death of Empress Zhuangsu.
The titles of the heirs of the two former emperors were also quickly settled, and the fiefs were set in the rich, but very far away from the capital, in the Jiangnan area, and they were named King Xiu and King De. Among the female dependents left by the emperor, Concubine Chen asked for cultivation, and the emperor allowed it, and the long-dusty Chang'an Palace was renovated, so that Concubine Chen moved in, and Empress Zhuangsu and Concubine Zhou still lived in Qing'an Palace. Since then, the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, and the Concubine Wu of the South, the pattern of the palace and the court have all been completely settled.
In September of this year, Liu Zhien, the official of Dongchang Factory, who had been working on his grandfather, entered Beijing, and it happened that the emperor led the crowd to the suburbs of Beijing for a military parade, so he had to go to Deshengmen to register first: he went out of Beijing on an errand and went through the registration procedure when he returned to Beijing. In order to play some privileges, go back to their mansions to rest, if they are ordinary officials who enter Beijing, after registration, even if many relatives and friends are in the capital, they cannot go to the past, and they must honestly live in the post house in case the emperor summons them.
Originally, the emperor went out of Beijing, and it would take two or three days to come back, and he could rest for a while, but he didn't expect to return to the house for half a day, and someone came to the palace - the Queen Mother of the West Palace summoned him to the palace to reply.
The author has something to say: Let's popularize science here, Wang's abolition is said to be when Jingtai wanted to set up his own child as the crown prince, and resolutely supported the eldest nephew
I don't have much sympathy for her being deposed anyway......
