Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yu Qian Says Empress Dowager II

After the last incident, Zhu Qizhen certainly kept his distance from the Empress Dowager, was respectful, and was a filial son and grandson.

But the Empress Dowager also thought about it repeatedly in her heart.

The emperor is indispensable.

First of all, the Empress Dowager can't be ruthless.

What happened to the abolished emperor, how could the empress dowager not know.

In the past six months, Zhu Qizhen has been by the side of the Queen Mother, and he has been moved by his true feelings. Zhu Qizhen treats the Empress Dowager like a grandmother, how can the Empress Dowager not love this grandson.

Although the Empress Dowager loves King Xiang, she values her eldest son Xuanzong the most. If Zhu Qizhen is really not angry, he is stubborn and unbearable, and he can't take on the heavy responsibility.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the Empress Dowager can only endure the pain.

But that's not the case today. Zhu Qizhen's excellence, the Empress Dowager sees it in her eyes, although there are some flaws, it is not to the point of being abolished.

Secondly, there are really no candidates.

Zhu Qiyu is a concubine, and King Xiang is an uncle, both of which are not suitable, and the disciples will add turmoil to the Ming Dynasty.

Third, she can't do it.

Although the Empress Dowager controls the power of the world, the Empress Dowager is surnamed Zhang and not Zhu after all, and the world belongs to the Zhu family.

The Empress Dowager could see from the attitude of asking Sanyang at that time that Sanyang did not support the abolition. Even Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, had an attitude of approaching the Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager also knew it.

In this way, she wants to depose the emperor, which will definitely cause an uproar. You can see it from the person in front of you.

Yu Qian is the emperor's valued master, but he is also a valued disciple of Yang Shiqi. He said here that he came on behalf of the emperor, so he has nothing to do with Yang Shiqi at all?

The Empress Dowager can't treat Yang Shiqi as if she doesn't exist.

In this way, it is diametrically opposed to the political attitude of the Empress Dowager.

Orthodoxy is so unsuccessful in history, and the Empress Dowager has not been abolished. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager is always a woman.

The Empress Dowager was also reflecting on whether her attitude was a little intense at this time. But if you want the elders to give in to the younger ones, you can't.

And Zhu Qizhen's attitude towards her has also become estranged.

The Empress Dowager was worried that she would say more. For the emperor, it is a deaf ear. That's when Yu Qian was summoned.

"What is Yu Qing's good plan?" The Empress Dowager's attitude was a little more solemn.

Yu Qian said: "It's better to sit and talk, it's better to do it." ”

"Although Your Majesty is smart, some things in the world are not too clear, and now Your Majesty has your own ideas, just let Your Majesty do it."

The Empress Dowager said: "Yu Qing wants the emperor to be in power? ”

The Empress Dowager's voice was a little cold, if Yu Qian said a "Yes." "I'm afraid I'll be beaten out immediately.

It's not that the Empress Dowager doesn't go. It's that the emperor is too young, only ten years old this year, although the emperor understands things, but it is too ridiculous to hand over this major event in the world to a ten-year-old child.

Yu Qian said: "How can the minister have this intention, Your Majesty is the time to concentrate on learning. The minister did not dare to sacrifice his roots. It's just that His Majesty is smart and eager to try many things. ”

"The Empress Dowager is not afraid to obey Your Majesty, let Your Majesty do something, whenever Your Majesty does something with her own hands, she will naturally know it, and let Your Majesty know the hardships of the world."

"Now Your Majesty has the Empress Dowager as a backer, even if you do something wrong. What kind of situation is made, there is also the Empress Dowager to finish, and in the future, Your Majesty will make mistakes again, and the ministers are worried that even if there are loyal people in the court, Your Majesty may not be able to listen to the contrary words. ”

"If Your Majesty does something, it doesn't matter, what matters is that Your Majesty knows what to do when you make a mistake, which is the right thing."

Yu Qian's words spoke to the heart of the Empress Dowager.

Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference.

To some people, this sentence is nothing more than nonsense.

But the emperor has never been able to control anyone.

After many emperors made mistakes, they refused to admit it, and used one mistake to cover up another mistake until they couldn't collapse their position.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty is one of the best.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed in his second expedition to Goryeo, and if he could admit his mistakes, change his course, and recuperate, the Sui Dynasty might not have perished.

The Empress Dowager was not worried that Zhu Qizhen would not be able to handle the government affairs, but she was worried that Zhu Qizhen would not admit his mistake and insisted on going his own way. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had an edict to abandon the wheel.

What if you can let Zhu Qizhen know that he made a mistake? The Empress Dowager would rather pay a lot of money.

As long as Zhu Qizhen can do this, the Empress Dowager will be relieved.

It's just that the Empress Dowager immediately thought about it and said secretly: "This is not what the emperor has always wanted?" ”

The emperor wants to do things, and the empress dowager has always understood. Single-mindedly found a position for Yu Qian in the Shuntian prefect, didn't he just want to do things?

Although the Shuncheon prefect is unfortunately attached to the capital, I don't know how many mothers-in-law there are on the head, but the Shuncheon prefect with the support of the emperor still has a lot of power.

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly and said, "Yu Qing is so talkative. ”

Yu Qian hurriedly saluted and said, "The Empress Dowager praises falsely. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "I understand what you mean, I have everything the emperor wants to do in the Shuntian Mansion." However, Yu Qing, you are a great talent in the world, and the emperor will use you as the head of the cabinet in the future. You also do not disappoint the expectations of the emperor. ”

"Teach the Emperor what the world is like. Blind flattery, not the body of a minister. ”

Yu Qian saluted and said, "The minister will definitely try his best to persuade His Majesty to be the son of sainthood. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, he agreed that there was also a part, for Yu Qian's sake.

The Empress Dowager doesn't know how many people she has seen in her life. For many people, just a few glances can guess a few points about his temperament.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yu Qian, with a bit of the posture of a social minister. Far from being a villain. It remains to be seen what the future holds. It is beneficial and harmless to have such a person by the emperor's side.

The Empress Dowager said: "Yu Qian is the master of the house in this year's spring? ”

Yu Qian said: "Exactly. ”

The so-called house master is the same examiner, because the imperial examination is divided into rooms, and if you want to be on the list, you must recommend the house master. can be included in the list and be marked by the examiner.

The Empress Dowager said: "After March, if the emperor leaves the palace, I will agree, but I must report to me, and Jin Ying must be by his side." ”

"Only once a month."

"You can't show a little wind outside, if there is news coming out, Yu Qian, you know."

Yu Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured that the Empress Dowager has something, and the minister will bring someone to see you." ”

To be honest, Yu Qian didn't want the emperor to leave the palace more.

It's not that Yu Qian thinks that the emperor is easy to control in the palace, but that Yu Qian feels that the emperor is too small. If there is a mistake, he can't afford it.

It's just that the Empress Dowager has already spoken. How could Yu Qian not agree.

The Empress Dowager immediately sent Yu Qian away.

After the Empress Dowager watched Yu Qian leave, she sighed slightly in her heart, standing on the edge of the pavilion, looking at the calm water surface, and the koi swimming around under the water.

He secretly said in his heart: "Today's court is like this water, the waves are not alarming, and the world is peaceful, but how many undercurrents are there here, who knows?" Who knows. ”

"Those who know pretend not to know, and those who don't know are even more arrogant."

"Perhaps, the Ming Dynasty really needs an emperor who can do things."

The Empress Dowager's eyes are not blind, in the cabinet, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and even Jiangnan, the Empress Dowager has enough eyeliner. There are many things that can't be hidden from the Queen Mother.

It's just that in the face of all the deserters in the guard, there are fugitives in the prefectures and counties, and the yellow book that Emperor Taizu regarded as the foundation of governing the country has become a dead letter, which is completely unbelievable.

The Empress Dowager may not be aware of these circumstances.

It's just that there are some things that the Queen Mother doesn't know how to start, and she moves her whole body with one hair. And the Empress Dowager is not an emperor after all, and her authority is insufficient. Let Yang Shiqi and others refresh the rule of officials and rectify the army. This is certainly not a cure.

But it is also the only way that the Empress Dowager can think of.

It is really because of this that the Empress Dowager is so opposed to Zhu Qizhen's idea of making a big move. Zhu Qizhen has a tossing energy in his bones, and he has long been seen by the Queen Mother.

When Zhu Qizhen was in charge of the world, he had to toss it a lot. It's just that now the Queen Mother is helpless.

I can only hope that Yu Qian can make Zhu Qizhen calm, and governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, which cannot be taken lightly or seriously.
