Chapter 98: Wei Zhongxian and the Apocalypse
With tens of thousands of honor guards, hula roared into the palace, and the battle was really arrogant. Along the street, the people are evading, and the officials are kneeling to see them off, which is really infinitely beautiful.
Of course, he was also scolded by Donglin officials. For the officials who kneel, they ignore it directly, and they really do it by themselves when the breeze blows through the hills, and for the abuse, I will let you fart, I am generous, I don't know you like a group of helpless people.
Entering the noon gate, who dares to intercept it? After crossing the Jinshui Bridge and bypassing the three major halls, Wei Zhongxian got off the sedan chair, and then entered the inner court by himself.
But as soon as he entered the inner court, Wei Zhongxian's originally high head immediately lowered, and his originally straight back immediately collapsed and became decent.
In fact, in this palace, even in front of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian held his chest high and raised his head. But it could only be in front of the emperor, and the rest was in the inner court, and he had to bow his head and become well-behaved. The reason is that there is another person who makes him afraid here, that is, in this Ming Dynasty, the only person he is afraid of - Empress Zhang.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the first generation of Queen Ma, the mother of the world's holy virtue and virtuous lady is unmatched, and then the virtue of the queens of the past dynasties is not obvious, but only this Queen Zhang, not very old, but with her single-minded saintly virtue for the country, revered by the people, now in the Ming Dynasty, Queen Zhang's prestige is much higher, Donglin has been angrily scolded and criticized, mediocre and incompetent only carpenter emperor.
It is precisely because of this huge prestige of the people that Wei Zhongxian has to be afraid in every way, even if the emperor protects himself with all his might, he does not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Although Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family also wanted to do everything possible to get rid of this queen who made them jealous and pressed on their heads. But no matter what method was used, the palace maids and eunuchs who surrounded the queen all ignored Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and went all out to protect the queen's safety.
also wanted to fabricate something and abolish her, but not only was she scolded by the civil officials, but even her own party refused with a serious face.
And although the Emperor of the Apocalypse also has three palaces and six courts, he is the only one who has true love for this queen, which also makes Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family dare not blatantly harm them, and they dare not die directly like the other two emperors' concubines, who are also favored.
Slipping aside, for fear of alarming the queen, don't attract the queen's scolding like a dog, I am also so old, and I am very shameless to be treated like a little girl.
Walking in carefully, and seeing a little eunuch kneeling in front of him, Wei Zhongxian first looked left and right with a weak heart, and then asked cautiously: "Where is the emperor?" ”
The little eunuch didn't even dare to raise his head, and lay on the ground and whispered: "Qiyu is nine thousand nine hundred years old, and the emperor is in Jiying Palace." ”
Wei Zhongxian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor was not in the queen's harem, everything would be easy. Then he said to the little eunuch with a cold face: "What kind of place is this?" This is the inner court, call me nine years old, you are too bold, too unruly, you are really looking for death. ”
So he continued to walk forward, but several strong eunuchs behind him rushed over and put this little eunuch who didn't know where he was wrong directly. I found a secluded place and went down with a stick, and my brain collapsed at that time.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse and his younger brother Zhu Youzhen were receiving the teachings of the Great Confucian and the teacher in the Jiying Hall at this time, but today is different from the past, he is absent-minded today, and he is in a very bad mood.
In true history, Apocalypse is not actually a faint king. The reason why it was criticized by later generations is the same as the prejudice against Yongzheng in later generations.
In fact, Tianqi is a fairly diligent emperor, and the reason why he is remembered by later generations is that he is a qualified carpenter, not a qualified emperor, and there is a suspicion of not doing his job, not because history is written by literati.
A careful reading of history, the reasons for characterizing the apocalypse as a faint monarch are actually very ridiculous.
For example, one of the reasons, and the most famous, is that Apocalypse has been playful since childhood.
That is to say, everything that can be played and what cannot be played, Apocalypse likes it.
What went up to the tree to dig out the bird's nest, went down to the river to catch turtles, rowed and skated, by the way, the best proof of this is that he finally died on the rowing boat.
