Chapter 482: Who Should Enter the Taimiao?

It's the Taimiao again, Liu E has been full of storms because of the worship of the Taimiao during her lifetime, but no one expected that after Liu E's death, it caused a storm again because of the Taimiao, this time it was also because of the matter of entering the Taimiao, but this time it was not Liu E who went in person, but her spiritual position was going to enter the Taimiao.

Although the queen is not qualified to enter the temple during her lifetime, but after they die, the spiritual position can enter the temple, and it must be placed together with the emperor's spiritual seat for future generations to pay tribute, generally speaking, there is only one queen, of course, there are special circumstances, such as Zhao Heng has three queens, the first is Pan, but this woman is short-lived, Zhao Heng died before he ascended the throne, so he was posthumously named the queen.

The second is Queen Guo, and then unfortunately, this Queen Guo did not live long, and she also died at the age of thirty-two, and finally it was Liu E's turn to be Zhao Heng's queen. Of course, two queens were posthumously crowned later, that is, Zhao Zhen's biological mother Li was posthumously crowned Empress Zhang Yi, and Concubine Yang was posthumously crowned Empress Zhang Hui.

Now the Li family and Concubine Yang are still alive, and the two of them are not the queens canonized by Zhao Heng personally, so they are not in discussion for the time being, and Zhao Heng has not yet ascended the throne when Queen Pan died, so they are also excluded from the Taimiao, so there are only two queens who are qualified to enter the Taimiao to accompany Zhao Heng, that is, Queen Guo and Liu E.

Compared with Queen Guo, who died early and was not famous, Liu E is obviously more qualified to enter the Taimiao, but in the past, Liu E suppressed the ministers too hard, which also made many people dissatisfied with Liu E. In the past, no one dared to oppose Liu E when she was alive, but now that Liu E has died, they vented this dissatisfaction, for example, in the matter of the queen's spiritual seat entering the Taimiao, many ministers suggested that Empress Guo's spiritual position be invited into the Taimiao, because she is the first queen in the true sense of Zhao Heng.

At first, this matter was limited to the controversy within the Ministry of Rites, but soon the quarrel reached the court, and soon a third voice appeared, which also represented Zhao Zhen's thoughts, that is, he hoped that his biological mother Empress Dowager Li would enter the Taimiao, although the Empress Dowager Li was still alive, but if she died in the future, she should naturally be accompanied by her biological mother in the Taimiao Temple.

Of course, Zhao Zhen did not directly say what he thought in his heart, but the most important thing in the court was the minister who figured out his intentions, so soon someone said what he thought on behalf of Zhao Zhen, which also won Zhao Zhen's support, and as a result, this force quickly became the biggest voice in the court, whether it was those who supported Liu E or those who supported Guo, they could not be compared with the forces that supported Empress Dowager Li.

In the early days of the court, the court quarreled again because of the above incident, and finally although no decision was made for the time being, it still showed support for the decision of the Empress Dowager Li to enter the temple in the future, which also made the attitude of many ministers loosen, if nothing else, the next court meeting is likely to settle this matter.

After the court meeting, Li Zhang accompanied Zhao Zhen back to the Vertical Arch Palace, and the day after tomorrow was the day to escort Liu E's coffin out of the capital to the queen, so there were some things that the two still needed to discuss.

However, at this time, Li Zhang's heart was also very entangled, he had not expressed any clear attitude towards who would accompany Zhao Heng in the Taimiao, because he was also in a dilemma about this matter, both sides were his respected elders, so he didn't know which side to help?

Zhao Zhen also seemed to know the embarrassment in Li Zhang's heart, so he did not force Li Zhang to express his position, and at this time he also began to discuss the matter of escorting the coffin the day after tomorrow, Li Zhang also cheered up and carefully explained the details of escorting the coffin, if Zhao Zhen is not satisfied with something, he can modify it now.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" At this moment, I suddenly heard a high-pitched voice coming, and then I saw the Empress Dowager Li slowly walking in, Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang also hurriedly stood up and saluted the emperor, "Sons see the queen mother!" See the Queen Mother! ”

"No need to be polite, the day after tomorrow is the day when the Queen Mother will go to the imperial mausoleum, I don't know how you are prepared?" Empress Dowager Li asked with a smile at this time, although she was also respected as the Empress Dowager, but when she mentioned Liu E, she still used the honorific title of "Niangniang", and seemed to be willing to live under Liu E.

"After enlightening my mother, I have almost discussed it with my cousin, and there should be no mistakes!" Zhao Zhen stepped forward at this time to personally support the Empress Dowager Li, and then asked her to sit down and said, after so many years of seclusion, the Empress Dowager Li's health is not very good, especially because she misses Zhao Zhen, causing her temples to grow gray hair early, and she seems to be a little old.

"If only nothing went wrong!" Empress Dowager Li nodded when she heard this, and then looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "I heard that there was a quarrel in the court because of whose spiritual position entered the Taimiao, is it really true?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Zhen was also stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and admitted, "Yes, there are indeed some disagreements in the court because of this matter, but the queen mother is my biological mother, and the position next to my father should naturally be reserved for you!" ”

As soon as Zhao Zhen's words came out, Empress Dowager Li frowned, and then saw her shake her head and said: "Your Majesty, I know that you are thinking about me, but whether it is reasonable or reasonable, the Empress Dowager is more suitable to enter the Taimiao than me, so there is no need to fight for this matter, it is better to invite the Empress Dowager's spiritual position into the Taimiao!" ”

"Queen Mother, ......" Zhao Zhen also showed a shocked expression when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, no one thought that Empress Dowager Li would take the initiative to give up the opportunity to enter the Taimiao?

"Your Majesty, I don't like to show my face, and I don't want too many people to talk about the things of the year, I didn't even want to accept the title of the Queen Mother, but I just thought of His Majesty's filial piety, I couldn't bear to refuse, but in addition to the title, I really don't want to snatch what should belong to her from the Queen Mother!" Empress Dowager Li also took Zhao Zhen's hand at this time and said slowly.

In fact, Empress Dowager Li's temperament is a bit similar to Li Zhang, both of them don't care much about fame and fortune, Li Zhang is a human being in two lives, so he has seen through some things, while Empress Dowager Li has no distractions, as long as she can reunite with Zhao Zhen's mother and son, she doesn't care about the rest.

Feeling the sincerity of her mother's words, Zhao Zhen also understood what she was thinking, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, since my mother's will is not here, then I won't force it, and I will issue an order to invite the spiritual seat of the eldest lady to enter the temple next time!" ”

Seeing Zhao Zhen agree, Empress Dowager Li also showed a gentle smile, and then she chatted with Zhao Zhen for a while, and Li Zhang also sat on the side, but in the end, when Empress Dowager Li was about to say goodbye and leave, she suddenly said to Li Zhang: "Zhang'er, the sun is good today, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and can't get out, why don't you accompany me to the garden for a walk!" ”
