Chapter Seventy-Six: Yu Qian Says the Empress Dowager

The Empress Dowager did not summon Yu Qian in Cining Palace.

Rather, in a pavilion in the garden of Cining Palace.

There are two gardens in the Forbidden City, one is the Imperial Garden of the Harem, and the other is the Garden of Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager summoned ministers, except for a few very familiar ones, such as Yang Shiqi and others, who were generally not summoned in Cining Palace. After all, the Empress Dowager also wants to avoid suspicion.

"Subordinate Yu Qian pays a visit to the Empress Dowager." Yu Qian saw the Empress Dowager sitting in the pavilion surrounded by a group of female officials. Salute immediately.

The Empress Dowager said: "Sit, I heard Yang Shiqi say that you are my rising star in the Ming Dynasty." The emperor said you want to see me, what is the matter? ”

Yu Qian said: "The minister is here for Your Majesty. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "What does the emperor have to say, don't say it yourself, let you say it?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty is still in Chongling, although he knows some things in his heart, he doesn't know how to say them. Only let the minister say it on behalf of Chen. ”

The Empress Dowager said, "Oh, you can say it. ”

Yu Qian said: "The Empress Dowager, this ------"

As soon as the Empress Dowager heard Yu Qian's words, she knew what was going on, waved her hand, and said, "You all go down." ”

"Yes." For a while, the female officials beside the Empress Dowager bowed and saluted, and retreated one after another. For a while, except for the nearby pond, the water was not rippling. There were no other sounds.

Yu Qian said: "The minister has the courage to ask, what kind of emperor does the Empress Dowager want Your Majesty to become?" ”

The Empress Dowager said: "What can I think, I just want to pass on the ancestral inheritance in peace, and after I die, I can also see my ancestors." ”

Yu Qian said: "Then congratulations to the Empress Dowager." Weichen thought that His Majesty was smart and would definitely not disappoint the expectations of the Empress Dowager. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

Yu Qian listened to the words of the Empress Dowager, sighed lightly, and said: "Seeing that the Empress Dowager is like this, the minister also thinks of the dog. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Yu Qing's son geometry? How old are you now? ”

Yu Qian said: "The minister has only one son, and now he is not yet ten years old. In his hometown in Hangzhou, he was raised by a. ”

"I often write letters and teach me, saying that children are stubborn and don't like to read. When I was late at night, I couldn't help but worry, worried that the dog would not be able to stand on its own and that once I went, it would not be able to support the lintel of the house. ”

"I often write letters to my father, asking my father to teach me more lessons, but my father wrote to me that when I was a child, I went to the house to uncover the tiles, and I was not as good as a dog, and now I have become an official of the imperial court?"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile lightly when she heard this.

In fact, as far as the Empress Dowager's original intention is concerned, she is not very interested in court affairs. On the contrary, he is interested in the short things in the parents. She said: "But I don't want Yu Qing to be so naughty when she was a child." ”

Yu Qian is in his thirties, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, he is just an older child, and if Emperor Xuanzong is alive, he is not much younger than Yu Qian.

Yu Qian said: "The minister was also in a hurry at the time, but after thinking about it, he was not in a hurry. ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she said with some curiosity: "Oh, what did Yu Qing figure out?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Emperor Taizong Jian Ba, who has been in the office for more than ten years, has a thin reputation in the sea, even if I am not a son, I can live this life if I want to come." ”

"The dog is still young, I don't know the pain of the imperial examination, even if he is forced to learn, he may not be able to learn much, it is better to let him run into the wall a few times to know how deep the world is. As long as he repents, even if he saves face, he must find a famous teacher for the dog in Jiangnan, even if he can't get into the department, but he can also have fame and fame, enough to pass on the family. ”

In this way, the minister has no regrets. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, even if the minister can live to the year of the mandate of heaven, what can he do? ”

The Empress Dowager said meaningfully: "Yes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. "The Empress Dowager is so keen, how can she not hear it, Yu Qian clearly said that Yu Qian's own son is actually talking about the emperor. But the Empress Dowager pretended not to know. Yu Qian could only bite the bullet and say something. But there was no trace of embarrassment on the face. continued: "Your Majesty's intelligence is better than that of a dog, I don't know how many times. There are successors to the first emperor, and there are successors to the Ming Dynasty, so why should the empress dowager worry. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Yu Qing, I know you, you are a disciple of Yang Ge Lao, a long-term foreign officer, a patrol, and a prefect, you know much more about local affairs than me." ”

"Do you think, you don't know what the court is like now? The people fled from below, and the yellow book had long since become a dead letter, and the number of people reported every time could not be looked at carefully. ”

"Are you bullying me for being old? Is this the time for war? ”

When Yu Qian heard this, he was overjoyed, he was not afraid of the Empress Dowager talking, he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not speak. The Empress Dowager doesn't speak, he sings a one-man show alone, how can he persuade the Empress Dowager.

As long as the Empress Dowager speaks, Yu Qian has a way to convince the Empress Dowager.

Yu Qian said: "The Empress Dowager is wise, and now Your Majesty has changed her mind. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said, "The emperor is just fooling the old woman." ”

Yu Qian didn't know what to say for a while. Sure enough, some of Zhu Qizhen's actions were too obvious. can't hide it from the Queen Mother at all. Yu Qian hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is young after all, and it is normal that you can't understand some things. The minister has a word, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "I still have to give the emperor's face." ”

Yu Qian said: "The Empress Dowager is in one day, so it is natural to make Your Majesty obey the Empress Dowager. But once the Empress Dowager collapses, what about the country? ”

Yu Qian said this, it was very risky.

People are greedy for life and afraid of death.

There are many taboos in the palace, death, death, and other words that express death, and they are not allowed to say, once the eunuch and palace maid lose their words, they meet the good-tempered master. A meal of the board is indispensable. Even if you meet a bad-tempered master, maybe your life will be gone.

However, the Empress Dowager was not angry, because what Yu Qian said spoke to the Empress Dowager's heart.

The Empress Dowager is most worried about this matter.

The Empress Dowager is confident, she is in one day, the emperor will not have any problems, even if there are any problems, he can press it, but once she is gone. What to do?

Although Zhu Qizhen is smart, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, there are also many problems.

In history, the Empress Dowager reprimanded Wang Zhen many times.

Just think about it, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, who is Wang Zhen's owner?

Again, although the emperor often said that all parties are guilty, the sin is bowing. But the emperor can say this, but under normal circumstances, he can't do that.

The fact that the Holy Ming has no fault with His Majesty is the political principle.

Even if the emperor is at fault, he can't directly punish the emperor, at most punish the people around the emperor. Even the crown prince is treated like this, let alone the emperor.

Emperor Taizong was dissatisfied with Emperor Renzong, and he just sent the lecturers around Emperor Renzong to prison.

The Empress Dowager also knew that she knew the bones of her body.

The Empress Dowager is already over the age of six, how many more years can she live? How could she not be worried.

The Empress Dowager said: "What does Yu Qing have to say? ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty is smart, and the Empress Dowager is also clear. The only thing that the Empress Dowager is worried about is that Her Majesty is conceited and does not accept people's words, and will cause trouble in the future. ”

"But the Empress Dowager restrains Her Majesty everywhere, can she change Your Majesty's heart? I am afraid that the more the Empress Dowager suppresses, the more she will rebound in the future. ”

"This is a lesson from the past, the story of Emperor Zhezong of the previous dynasty, the Empress Dowager must be guarded against."

The Empress Dowager's heart moved, Emperor Zhezong was the son of Song Shenzong, and the Song Shenzong period was naturally the famous Wang Anshi reform. After the death of Song Shenzong, Emperor Zhezong ascended the throne at the age of nine. It was ruled by Song Shenzong's mother, the Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao appointed Sima Guang and overthrew Emperor Shenzong's new law. However, after the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, Song Zhezong rebelled against the Empress Dowager Gao's government, reappointed the new party, and launched the Pingxia War.

During the Zhezong period, the old and new party struggles intensified, which directly buried the disaster of the Northern Song Dynasty.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face suddenly turned unpleasant, but Yu Qian was right about her worries. It worries her.
