Chapter 14 Testament

When Yang Rong heard Zhu Qizhen ask, he immediately said: "The figurines are made like people, and the master is evil." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The figurines are still like this, let alone people? There is still a funeral in the palace today, and Master Yang is the minister of the pillar stone of the country, can he not be admonished? ”

When Yang Rong heard this, he immediately pleaded guilty: "This is the sinful of the minister." ”

Zhu Qizhen is obviously throwing the pot.

From Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to Emperor Xuanzong, compared with the emperors of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they can all be called strong emperors.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang thinks he can admonish.

But what kind of reality is it, under Zhu Yuanzhang's means, there are a few people who dare to speak. Zhu Yuanzhang quit the strength of his relatives and killed the childless concubine, which also had realistic considerations at the time.

At the beginning of the country, many of the concubines accepted by Zhu Yuanzhang had realistic considerations.

For example, Hu Mei's daughter who descended from Jiangxi, Guo Ying's sister, and so on. These concubines are from all sides, and the same is true for the marriage of their sons.

King Qin's concubine is the prototype of Zhao Min and Wang Baobao's sister.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's original revision had a strong political intention, and Yongle was not in the right position, and it was because of this that he had to flaunt the ancestral system everywhere.

And the generations to follow.

After all, compared with the major events of the court, these women's affairs are nothing, and maybe they can be used as beautiful talks.

It's one thing to compare burials, but if it's a martyrdom, it can be a good talk among literati.

For His Holiness, whether it is a martyrdom or a martyrdom, it is just a difference of one word.

However, Yang Rong is such a clever person, Emperor Xuanzong takes a fancy to Yang Rong, that is, he takes the world's prefectures and counties, and the nine sides of the danger into his chest, Emperor Xuanzong goes on an expedition, as long as he asks about the military deployment, Yang Rong can return immediately.

At this moment, he immediately knew what Zhu Qizhen meant.

If Zhu Qizhen hadn't wanted to make a cut on this, he would never have raised this issue in front of the minister.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. is the minister of my father's humerus, but I don't know why Mr. taught me?" ”

Yang Rong threw himself on the ground and said: "The first emperor has the grace of heaven and earth to his ministers, and he dares not to wholeheartedly repay the first emperor to be loyal to His Majesty." His Majesty wants to abolish this harsh government, but he follows the way of the master and then acts, but His Majesty is worried that there are ignorant people who do not know the true meaning of Emperor Taizu, and talk about His Majesty's wrongs. Is it okay for the minister to say? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It is my trouble. ”

Yang Rong said: "The minister has a strategy, dedicated to His Majesty." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, please speak." ”

Yang Rong said: "Your Majesty can say that this matter is done in accordance with the edict of the first emperor. ”

Zhu Qizhen was a little puzzled and said: "The edict, but the father doesn't have this edict?" ”

Yang Rong said: "When the first emperor was on a big trip, he summoned his ministers, and Lord Yang Shiqi, Lord Yang Pu, Lord Hu Hu, the British Duke, and the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother were there. ”

"Since Your Majesty has summoned the ministers to say this, the Empress Dowager will definitely acquiesce."

"The minister is willing to return to the cabinet and persuade the cabinet."

Yang Rong said this, so he didn't say anything.

Zhu Qizhen immediately understood that it was enough for these people to join forces and abolish the establishment, not to mention the edict.

Even when the celebrant and eunuch were powerful, they dared to say: "If you want a holy decree, our family will write you one." So the Empress Dowager acquiesced, the five ministers of the auxiliary ministers nodded, and the emperor agreed, didn't this edict say that there is?

Zhu Qizhen's perception of Yang Rong has changed greatly.

has always been stuck in prejudices, thinking that Sanyang is the head of the Wenchen, and he must be pedantic people like Fang Xiaoru, and it must be a very difficult thing to talk to them and change the ancestral system.

But now, it seems that Mana is not like that.

Yang Rong's way of change surprised Zhu Qizhen greatly.

He didn't know about Yang Rong, it was just a small test.

When Emperor Xuanzong had just ascended the throne, the King of Han rebelled, Yang Rong was a member of the main personal expedition, and on the way back to Beijing to pacify the King of Han, Yang Rong advocated Emperor Xuanzong again, and the King of Zhao also took care of the trouble. In the end, it was Yang Shiqi who spoke for King Zhao, saying that Taizong only had three sons, and His Majesty was the only uncle.

The implication is that you can't kill all the heirs of Emperor Taizong.

In this way, King Zhao was preserved.

As for the matter after the abolition, it was Emperor Xuanzong who got Yang Rong's advice and proceeded smoothly.

The Ming Dynasty really rose and became the dominant, that is, at the time of Hongxuan, that is, at this time, but Sanyang really said that they were actually at the end of Hongwu and the beginning of Yongle, and some still had the experience of the Jianwen Dynasty.

Their thinking has been fixed, although they say that they are reasonable, but when they really act, there is no trace of pedantic. If you really want to treat them as Confucian ministers, you don't know how they died.

Zhu Qizhen was only stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses and said, "In this case, please leave this matter to Mr." ”

Yang Rong happily accepted the order.

After Yang Rong returned to the cabinet, he first consulted with Yang Shiqi.

Although Yang Rong has repeatedly fought with Yang Shiqi, there is one thing he understands. This matter, if you want to do it, you must have Yang Shiqi nodding.

What's more, it was the first thing that Zhu Qizhen gave him to do when he ascended the throne, and Yang Rong naturally had to do his best to do it well.

A little grudge with Yang Shiqi is nothing.

Yang Shiqi naturally wouldn't make a stumbling block in this matter, firstly, he didn't want to go against Zhu Qizhen's ideas, and secondly, this matter was also a good thing.

Even Yang Shiqi added a lot of things to this edict, such as releasing the palace people.

The court system of the Ming Dynasty, during the Taizu period, mostly used female officials over forty years old, and these female officials were old and decrepit. Naturally, nothing will happen.

At that time, the power of eunuchs was really not great, and most of the power in the palace was in the hands of female officials. The treatment of the palace maid is not bad. When you reach the age, you may be able to put it home.

But the later it goes, the stricter the palace ban becomes.

As for the draft girls in the imperial court, there was a shortage of men among the people, and the people would rather marry their daughters in a hurry, because once they entered the court, it was difficult to see their parents again in this life.

Yang Shiqi can't abolish this system, he can only make some changes, and now he can release a batch, it's a batch.

It's just another thought in Yang Shiqi's heart, which is getting stronger and stronger.

is Zhu Qizhen's attention to Yang Rong.

Although he now has the support of the Empress Dowager, I think Yang Rong can't surpass him, you must know that the Empress Dowager is very dissatisfied with Yang Rong's actions in the abolition of the queen, and feels that Yang Rong has lost his minister's body.

But Yang Shiqi didn't want Yang Rong to be favored by Zhu Qizhen's side.

He secretly said in his heart: "The matter of the feast must be arranged quickly." ”

The sutra feast is to teach the emperor a lesson.

This thing was in the Tang and Song dynasties, and there were precedents in the Ming Dynasty. It's just that the emperors who ascended the throne before the Ming Dynasty were all adult emperors, and what the emperor wanted to hear was decided by the emperor himself.

That is to say, the sutra feast is dominated by the emperor himself, and has the nature of the monarch and the minister.

But now Zhu Qizhen is a child.

In this way, the sutra feast is different.

This served as an education for the emperor. What kind of emperor the Ming Dynasty will have in the future depends on how they teach the emperor now.

This is a major event that can be called the foundation of the country.

Therefore, Yang Shiqi has always had ideas in his heart. It's just that during this period of time, Zhu Qizhen was extremely busy in the palace, and Yang Shiqi, as the head of the ministers in the world, was even more busy, and the aftermath of Emperor Xuanzong alone was enough for him to be busy. Not to mention, when the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, he wants to calm the doubts of all sides. There are also all kinds of local emergencies that he has to deal with.

I wanted to let this thing go.

But now it seems that it can't be released.

"Looking at His Majesty's actions, it is quite the style of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Although he is young and intelligent, he must not be raised in the hands of a woman and eunuch, and a good emperor has been taught badly. Yang Shiqi said secretly in his heart.

He immediately put the matter on the agenda.

However, no matter how you say it, you have to wait for Zhu Qizhen to show filial piety.

After Yang Rong persuaded Yang Shiqi, the rest of the cabinet naturally had no intention of objecting, so he presented an edict to Zhu Qizhen, and after Zhu Qizhen read it, he asked the Empress Dowager to look at it.

After the Empress Dowager saw it, she didn't say anything, she didn't say yes, and she didn't say no.

However, Zhu Qizhen understood, so he ordered the cabinet to announce this edict to the world, and the funeral was abolished in the palace from now on. This edict, and all the circumstances contained therein, cannot be concealed.

It's just that no one dares to talk nonsense.

It can also be regarded as adding a bit of glory to the name of Emperor Xuanzong after his death.
