Chapter 12 Righteousness is not courageous

Wang Zhen easily appeased the Sun family. Zhu Qizhen was able to get out of Kunning Palace.

Zhu Qizhen was a little lost.

From his memory of Zhu Qizhen when he was nine years old, Sun's impression has always been very good. But many times, children look at their parents with their own filters.

Children think that their parents are good, but although Zhu Qizhen has the memory of Zhu Qizhen now, he is not a child anymore.

In the hearts of children, the Empress Dowager Zhang has always been strict. And the Queen Mother's Sun family has always been excellent.

It's just that now, from the perspective of future generations, the two are completely different.

This kind of gap made Zhu Qizhen very uncomfortable, especially when Sun treated him, almost as if he was looking at a child. I'd rather believe Wang Zhen's words than his words.

Zhu Qizhen walked out of Kunning Palace and went straight to the west.

Wang Zhen followed Zhu Qizhen closely, whispered behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Go to Cining Palace." See the Empress Dowager. ”

Wang Zhen immediately understood that if the Sun family said such an outrageous thing today, if he didn't go to Cining Palace to explain, I was afraid that life would not be easy in the future.

The Empress Dowager is categorically not going to move the emperor.

But it was still easy to kill a slave.

Wang Zhen immediately called for a step.

Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to go on foot, but his body was still weak, and today he went from Qianqing Palace to Kunning Palace, and then from Kunning Palace to Cining Palace. But the body can't support it.

By the time Zhu Qizhen arrived at Cining Palace, it was already the beginning of the palace lights.

One person introduced Zhu Qizhen into the palace, and Zhu Qizhen saw her and immediately saluted. When the woman avoided it slightly, she said, "Don't dare to be." ”

This woman is the first empress of Emperor Xuanzong, the later immortal concubine, after Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, she was named the imperial concubine of the Hu family.

Perhaps it was the Empress Dowager's compensation and love for the Hu family, so she took the Hu family with her.

Zhu Qizhen had to admit in his heart that Hu's every move had a sense of elegance.

Compared with the Sun family, although there is a sense of simplicity, it is by no means the same. You can't find fault in the world. This is also even if it is abolished, but in the heart of the Empress Dowager, the Hu family is her daughter-in-law. 、

Sun is not.

The Hu family introduced Zhu Qizhen into the palace, saluted the empress dowager, and slowly retreated.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager has changed into a palace dress, wearing a simple skirt, her gray hair is coiled, and the wrinkles on her face have faded under the illumination of the light.

If people don't know her, they will only regard her as an ordinary woman in Jiangnan.

The Empress Dowager intended to let the Hu family stay, but after thinking about it, there are some things that it is useless for the Hu family to know. I didn't keep her.

"My grandson has seen my grandmother." Zhu Qizhen saluted and said. It stands to reason that the effect of pretending to be tender in front of the Queen Mother is probably better, but Zhu Qizhen is not the previous Zhu Qizhen after all.

There are some things that can't be done.

"Sit down." The Empress Dowager said: "How about it, what position are you going to arrange for Changbo?" Tell me if I can arrange it for you. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard this, and immediately said: "The grandson doesn't dare, the queen mother is just worried." There is some nonsense, and I ask grandma not to take it to heart. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "She has always thought she was smart, and she can't tell the difference. Love to be smart. When I was a child, I saw that she was also very smart, how did she become like this? ”

Empress Dowager Sun's cleverness is not only now, but the thing that most reflects her cleverness is the aftermath of the change in Tumubao.

If she had the ability, she should have made the crown prince at that time, that is, the son of orthodoxy, the emperor. She is in charge of the dynasty. Handle political affairs.

She can't do it. should simply make Zhu Qiyu the emperor, and let the orthodox son stay in the position of the prince.

In this way, the inducement was laid for all kinds of changes in the future.

The subsequent changes in seizing the door, and even Yu Qian's death, were the bane of her self-righteousness.

Just like now, who doesn't know what kind of people in the Sun family are?

If you really hand over the affairs of your family and country to them, can they do it well?

Zhu Qizhen heard the Empress Dowager talk about her mother, and she couldn't speak, so she could only be silent.

The Empress Dowager also seemed to feel that it was not good to say these things in front of her juniors, and Zhengse said: "You are the emperor now, and you have to walk by yourself on the road in the future, remember the ancestral family law, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." In this world, people with the surname Zhu, whether they are surnamed Zhang or Sun, they are all outsiders. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sun Er understands. ”

"You go back, I don't care about him." The Empress Dowager said: "You must also know that filial piety is one thing, and national affairs are another, and they must not be mixed up. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sun Er understands. ”

The Empress Dowager became more and more satisfied with Zhu Qizhen, and she also complained a little about the Sun family in her heart, feeling that if there was no Sun family, she would have taken Zhu Qizhen with her side earlier, and now she would not be caught off guard.

As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the younger son.

What the royal family likes is the children of the young and the old.

And Zhu Qizhen's performance is exactly like this, in the past few days, the Empress Dowager has taken Zhu Qizhen with her, and she feels that Zhu Qizhen has never been familiar with the government and politics. I love it even more.

With Zhu Qizhen's current performance, in a few years, he will be able to assume the responsibility of his family and country. Seeing Zhu Qizhen standing in front of her and seeming to have something to say, she immediately asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Listen to my grandson, it seems that the childless concubines in the palace have been martyred. Is it true? ”

The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned and said: "It's true, your mother, the Hu family, and Qi Yu's mother Wu family, unless the three of them are, these childless concubines will follow your father." ”

Zhu Qizhen listened, knelt on the ground again, and said: "In front of the Empress Dowager, my grandson often listens to the Empress Dowager talk about the way of loving people, repairing the mausoleum for his father, and levying 100,000 people. Now that someone is innocently dead, how can Sun Erbing, with the benevolence of the Empress Dowager, turn a blind eye. Grandchildren want to -----"

"What do you want?" The Empress Dowager said.

Zhu Qizhen said: "My grandson wants to ask the Empress Dowager to abolish the martyrdom. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at him left and right, and said, "Today, you went to see Jianyi, have you ever seen Jianyi for the last time?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "See." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "What did Gong Jian tell you when he was dying? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "If you want your grandson to do nothing, just be a filial son in front of the Queen Mother." ”

When Zhu Qizhen talked with Jian Yi, although he retreated, Zhu Qizhen did not dare to hide the Empress Dowager at all, firstly, he felt that the Empress Dowager must have placed someone around him.

This person is very uncomfortable for anyone, except for Wang Zhen, it is possible, and even Wang Zhen may not be named on the Empress Dowager's side.

Second, I feel that what Jian Gong said may be a little absolute, but it is generally correct, to be a filial son, don't hide it in front of the Queen Mother.

Penny wise and pound foolish.

Third, Zhu Qizhen didn't think that what Jian Gong said was invisible.

The Empress Dowager's face was indifferent, and under the light, she had no expression, and said, "Why don't you do it?" ”

"You know, what are you going to change? It's the ancestral system. ”

"It was Emperor Taizu who decided it, and the previous emperors did not dare to disobey, because they were afraid that something would happen to the harem and stain the face of the ancestors. Aren't you afraid of criticism from the government and the opposition? ”

The Empress Dowager asked one by one, and Zhu Qizhen didn't know how to answer for a while.

Yes, and now the situation. Just like Jian Gong's last words, Zhu Qizhen had better not do anything.

Don't do anything that violates the ancestral system. An An's cultivation, An'an's learning, An'an's obedience, after a few years, the Empress Dowager went, and Sanyang and others couldn't hold on for too long.

What does he want to do when the time comes, who can stop him?

But when Zhu Qizhen thought of the innocent people who were killed by the ancestral system, and the palace concubines fortunate to Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Qizhen didn't have to think about it, he knew that there were more than 100 people.

Now only he can save them.

"Because, if you don't do what is righteous, you are not brave." Zhu Qizhen's voice was immature, but he was loud.
