Volume 8 Chapter 168 Overthrow the Queen
Chongzhen still underestimated the stubbornness of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, he thought that he yelled at him and threatened to abolish his position as the crown prince, and this kid should also stop, as a result, before the afternoon arrived, the little eunuch of the Qianqing Palace came to tell him, and the queen and Empress Zhang invited him to dinner in the evening.
He only felt a little tired in his heart, he knew that this must be a good thing done by the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and he didn't want to see Queen Zhou, but he didn't want to wash Queen Zhang's face, although he was reluctant, he still went.
Sure enough, before she had eaten two bites of food, Empress Zhang asked softly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong, I heard Hong'er say that you were very angry today, and you said that you would abolish him as a prince." The concubines have heard that the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and this is for the sake of trivial things, right? ”
This kid will sue, listening to Queen Zhang's tone, he is still scold!
Chongzhen helplessly explained: "Imperial sister-in-law, how can I have the intention of abolishing the crown prince, it's just that this kid didn't leave the imperial study at that time, which affected me to deal with state affairs, so I used this matter to scare him." Besides, what he said was not a trivial matter, he actually wanted to make Zhang Bin's daughter the crown princess, it was simply stupid! ”
Of course, Queen Zhang knows about this, she loves the house and Wu, and she is also quite doting on Zhang Xiangna, hearing Chongzhen say this, she actually had a little anger in her heart, what's wrong with Xiang'er, it's good, why can't she be the crown princess?
Of course, she can't question Chongzhen like this, she is still very gentle with Chongzhen, she didn't question Chongzhen harshly when she was still King Xiaoxin, not to mention that Chongzhen is already the emperor at this time.
She took a bite of food, chewed it carefully for a while, suppressed the anger in her heart, and then continued to whisper softly: "Your Majesty, why can't you make Xiang'er the crown princess?" I've seen Xiang'er, this child, it's very well-behaved, she and Hong'er are also quite compatible, isn't it good to let them be together? ”
Chongzhen didn't have any temper with this sister-in-law and mother-in-law Empress Zhang, Zhang Yan had actually committed his taboo when he said this, but he didn't get angry, just shook his head and sighed: "Alas, sister-in-law, I have told you that Zhang Bin is a hero like Cao Cao, and he needs to be strictly guarded against." ”
Zhang Yan didn't think that Zhang Bin was a hero, but because of the undeserved feelings in her heart, she was embarrassed to talk about Zhang Bin in front of Chongzhen, so she could only euphemistically justify: "The concubine doesn't understand this kind of thing, the concubine only knows that Xiang'er is a good child, she and Hong'er are simply a natural pair, why should the emperor beat the mandarin duck?" ”
Chongzhen is also a strong donkey, he thinks no, that is, no, the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan can't get out of the horse, he still shook his head and said: "Alas, imperial sister-in-law, you don't understand, Zhang Bin let his daughter play with Hong'er for a purpose, he wants to control Hong'er through his daughter to seek to seize the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhang Yan doesn't want to interfere in the government politics, the reason why she came to Quan Chongzhen is because she really likes Zhang Xiang, and she also hopes that the prince Zhu Cihong can be with Zhang Xiang.
As soon as Queen Zhou saw that Empress Zhang was not angry, she was suddenly anxious, her son knew best, Zhu Cihong really liked Zhang Xiang, if the emperor did not agree to this family business, her precious son would probably fall into trouble!
She originally wanted to invite the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan to persuade the emperor, but she didn't expect that at this time, the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan was said by the emperor to be angry, as a mother, she could only stand up at this time, she mustered up the courage and said: "Your Majesty, Xiang'er is Xiang'er, Zhang Bin is Zhang Bin, the so-called married daughter spilled out of the water, after this Xiang'er enters the palace, it will be difficult for their father and daughter to meet, how can he control Hong'er through Xiang'er to seek to seize the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Chongzhen can endure the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan It is out of the warm memories of childhood, he has no good temper towards his queen, he said impatiently: "What do you know, the ancestor Hongwu Emperor has a saying, where the son of heaven, the prince, the concubine, the palace concubine, carefully choose the daughter of the good family for it, the one who enters is receiving, so the concubine, the queen is the people." Zhang Bin is an important minister of the imperial court, and he has ill intentions, he can't choose his daughter as the crown princess, do you know! ”
Empress Zhou could only grit her teeth and defend her son: "Your Majesty, it's not so strict, isn't Prince Yiwen's crown princess the daughter of King Kaiping, and Empress Chengzu Renxiao is also the daughter of King Wuning of Zhongshan." ”
Chongzhen was so angry in his heart, but he couldn't get angry in front of Empress Zhang, he could only suppress his anger and said coldly: "You are raising the bar with me, Prince Yiwen's crown princess and Empress Chengzu Renxiao are all family affairs set before Taizu ascended the throne and became emperor, can they be confused?" ”
Empress Zhou also gave up for the sake of her son, and she continued to entangle: "Then why can't the daughter of an important minister of the court be established as the crown princess?" ”
Chongzhen glanced at her sideways, and explained impatiently: "This is to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, do you know, the crown princess is going to become the queen after all, if the queen's family background is too strong, it is very likely to control the government, do you know, Qin has Empress Dowager Xuan, the Western Han Dynasty has Empress Lu, the Eastern Han Dynasty has Empress Dowager Deng, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has Empress Dowager Chu, the Tang Dynasty has Wu Zetian, the Liao State has Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Song Dynasty has Empress Liu, these strong women, haven't you heard of them, do you want the Ming Dynasty to have a Empress Zhang?" ”
When Queen Zhang Yan heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks in embarrassment, and she was embarrassed to eat the rice, Chongzhen hurriedly relieved: "The imperial sister-in-law I am not talking about you, I am talking about Zhang Bin's daughter." ”
He thought that with so many examples, the queen should also stop this week, but he never thought that after the queen entered the palace this week, she was bored, and she had read some books, and the most read was the story of these queens, and she knew more about these queens than Chongzhen.
As soon as Chongzhen said this, she subconsciously retorted: "The concubine has heard that this Song Zhizhang Xianmingsu Empress Liu E is an orphan girl in Shu, and she has no family background, and Empress Chengzu Renxiao's family background is so strong, and I haven't seen her control the government!" ”
"You!" , Chongzhen was speechless by her, these are indeed facts, he can't argue if he wants to!
Chongzhen's stinky temper, he can bear it with his sister-in-law Zhang Yan, but he can't bear his own queen, he was so scolded by Queen Zhou, he suddenly threw away his chopsticks in anger, snorted coldly, and then got up and brushed his sleeves away.
How can this work, his son is still waiting to marry Zhang Xiang, the emperor is leaving, I am afraid that this matter will be yellow.
Empress Zhou hurriedly stood up, chased after her, grabbed Chongzhen's sleeve, and begged: "Your Majesty, you can make an exception and allow this family business." ”
Do you want to give the country to Zhang Bin, dream!
Chongzhen flicked his sleeves angrily and said: "Don't mention this matter again, I can't agree to it!" ”
Empress Zhou still grabbed his sleeve and begged: "Your Majesty, Hong'er really likes Xiang'er, you can do it!" ”
What kind of feelings does the royal family talk about, it's ridiculous, Chongzhen really doesn't want to talk to Queen Zhou anymore, he saw Queen Zhou holding his sleeve and didn't let go, so he angrily directly reached out and pushed Queen Zhou away, and then left angrily.
This week, the queen didn't expect Chongzhen to push her, she didn't stand firmly, she fell directly to the ground on her back, and fell to the ground!
