Chapter 223 A Different Queen Mother
"The Queen Mother, please express your concerns," Guan Zhuofan hurriedly said, "This dynasty is deeply gracious, and there will never be a 'big gift discussion' that comes out." β
Ci'an sighed softly and said, "Li'er, it's such a Li'er, but, the monarch of the former Ming Dynasty, is it ...... Is it the enemy? β
The word "enemy" pressed the heads of the big military planes and lowered them again.
"That Emperor Sejong," Tzu An continued, "is he so ruthless at the age of his teens? Doesn't he want to lose the reputation of a 'benevolent monarch'? Alas, it is always the fire that covers the eyes, and the attack arises, and it is desperate! β
After a pause, "And the ministers who are 'crying at the door', which one is not for the good of the country?" But...... Alas! β
Speaking of this, Ci'an's eyes were slightly red, and she took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.
The ministers of military aircraft below, including Guan Zhuofan, did not dare to make a sound.
"I think," Ci'an stabilized his emotions and said in a calmest tone as much as possible, "this is called 'needle tip to Maimang', they all feel that they are in a position, and they refuse to retreat, and the more they talk, the more they twist, and finally they twist into a dead knot, which can no longer be untied!" β
This statement is still very reasonable.
"Yes!" Guan Zhuofan said, "The Queen Mother and Queen Mother Mingjian! β
"I don't dare to say anything 'Mingjian'," Ci'an said, "but I think that when it is twisted into a dead knot, it will be too late to talk about 'deep kindness'!" The imperial court has its own rules of the imperial court, hundreds of people, kneeling at the gate, crying, making trouble and banging on the door, this ...... What's it called? β
The big military planes were all in their hearts, and they all replied: "Yes!" β
"Don't say it's the imperial court, it's the Forbidden City. It's a minister, it's a small family, it's so noisy, isn't it also a neighborhood joke? β
ββ¦β¦ Be! β
"So, you have to ...... Uh, 'precaution'. β
'Yes!' Take precautions'! Guan Zhuofan repeated it clearly. Obey the precepts! β
Some people think in their hearts: take precautions? What is the "prevention before it happens" method?
Ci'an sighed again and said, "I have a few words, which may not be right, don't be surprised. β
The big military planes hurriedly said in unison: "Don't dare!" β
"The matter of the heir to the emperor," said Ci'an, "you all said that you should not only 'inherit the unification' but also 'inherit the heir,' and I listened at the time. I took it for granted, and even took it for granted, so I didn't think about it anymore, but after reading Bao Zhanlin's excerptββ"
After a pause, he said: "There is nothing wrong with this 'Great Rite Discussion' of the former Ming Dynasty asking Emperor Sejong to recognize Emperor Xiaozong as the 'imperial exam'. It's over! However, Emperor Sejong did not recognize his biological father and mother, and called his own father uncle. It's not right to call your own mother uncle! This, this, this-"
"This" a few times, and finally said: "This is not done...... Rebellious! β
No one spoke.
"By the way," Ci'an frowned. "Our heir emperor, what should he call his biological father? - Haven't you told me about this? β
"After returning to the queen mother," Guan Zhuofan coughed lightly, "For example." What the minister said was, for example, that the heir emperor was Zaicheng, and he called his biological father and biological mother, that is, uh, 'Prince Gong', 'Liufu Jin'. β
"Then ......," Ci'an asked, "Sixth Master and Sixth Fujin, are they still Zaicheng's father?" I know that if it is a courtier, even if he succeeds, his biological father and mother will still be his father and mother - 'this biological father' and 'biological mother' have passed away, and they will also have to repay their worries! β
After a slight pause, "The folk should be like this, right?" β
"Uh, yes......"
Guan Zhuofan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said: "After returning to the queen mother, if Zaicheng becomes the heir emperor, Prince Gong and his wife cannot be regarded as his...... Uh, my father, Prince Gong and his wife, Emperor Yu, are ordinary courtiers; If Prince Gong and his wife are gone, the emperor can only pay tribute according to the prince's specifications, not ...... Well, it's like a 'national mourning'. β
That is to say, you can't wear linen and filial piety.
Ci'an frowned, stunned for a while, and then shook his head lightly, muttering in a low voice: "This, it's wrong......"
Although the voice of the Queen Mother and Queen Mother was low, the big military planes below could hear it clearly, and everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts.
"After returning to the queen mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "There is indeed no way to truly get the best of both worlds, otherwise, Qianming would not have made such a big trouble as the 'Great Rites Discussion'." β
Ci'an stopped talking.
After a long while, just when the ministers of military aircraft felt that it would be very inappropriate not to say anything, Ci'an spoke.
"Let me say something from the bottom of my heart, like the former Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, it is more humane to recognize his biological parents! But, alas! β
Sighing, he continued: "In this way, in your words, the imperial system will be displaced, and the unification will be chaotic!" Put it in this dynasty, put it under the eye, that is...... If the heir to the emperor...... Alas! β
The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were a little incoherent.
"If that's the case, don't talk about the 'imperial lineage' or the 'unification', just say that Emperor Wenzong is here, and he will be the heir! Not to mention the Emperor Daxing! I...... Alas! β
The ministers of military aircraft below, including Guan Zhuofan, all lowered their bodies.
The heir of the emperor "inherits" and rebels against human ethics; does not "inherit the heir", the imperial system is biased, the unification is chaotic, and even, to the embarrassing situation of Emperor Wenzongxian's father and son in the "heir" - anyway, as long as it is a small sect, nothing is right!
This is not counting the big troubles such as the "Great Gift Discussion" that shocked the court situation and caused ridicule to future generations.
So......
"I'm the queen mother," Ci'an continued, "It doesn't matter if there is the word 'queen mother' in front of me, and even if I don't do it, it doesn't matter if I don't do it......
How can a courtier bear such a thing?
Guan Zhuofan knelt down in his robe and said loudly: "Why did the Queen Mother say this? The honorific title of "Queen Mother" is subject to heaven! Heaven and earth learn together, and the gods bless together! Without the Queen Mother, where would there be today? The words 'Queen Mother'. For hundreds of generations, how can there be a word of change? If anyone goes against the sky, the gods will be killed! Hundreds of millions of people are asking for it! β
paused slightly, "Those who have vain ambitions, if you want to sell their schemes, don't say anything else." You have to step over the corpse of the minister first! β
After that, kowtowed, and the other four big military planes, their hearts were shaken, and they also kowtowed together.
Ci'an Qiang smiled and said: "The words are heavy, the words are heavy, get up and speak, get up and speak!" β
Guan Zhuofan kowtowed again, and then stood up.
"I mean...... Alas! β
Ci'an then used a handkerchief. wiped his eyes and said: "I mean, if Emperor Wenzong and his sons are really killed, and they don't even stutter in the 'down there', in the future, I will 'go down', where will I still have the face to see them?" When the time comes. Isn't it, gotta ...... Take a handkerchief. Covered face? β
This kind of talk is not something that a courtier can bear!
Guan Zhuofan knelt down again and said repeatedly: "The ministers are ashamed!" The ministers are ashamed! β
Wen, Cao, Xu, and Guo were all sweating like pulp, and with Guan Zhuofan, they bowed down. also said in a loud voice: "The ministers are ashamed! The ministers are ashamed! β
"Get up, get up!" Ci'an wanted to squeeze out a smile, but she didn't succeed, "I...... A woman's family speaks all about women. You guys...... Don't be surprised. β
Guan Zhuofan stood up again.
"Bao Ting's fold," said Ci'an, "didn't send it down immediately, not because I wanted to 'drown' itβit really couldn't be 'drowned', I know that the outside people have already made a lot of noise about it!" - I didn't send it right away, because Guan Zhuofan refused to approve this excerpt on my behalf, and I really don't know what to do with this excerpt! β
After a pause, "Now, in fact, I still don't know what to do with this fold, but it can't be left with me anymore!" β
Speaking of this, he opened the drawer of the imperial case, folded out the treasure court's "Pray for Emperor Wen Zongxian's blood heirs", put it on the table, patted it lightly on the fold, and said: "Let's send it down!" You discuss it first, and when the time comes, together with Bao Zhanlin's excerpt, it will be submitted to the Council of Ministers for public discussion! β
The big military planes were all shocked.
The "Wang's Ministers' Meeting" is similar to the day when the Daxing Emperor Longyu was a guest, and the relatives and dignitaries gathered at the Military Aircraft Department to "discuss the heir of the emperor", however, the scope of participants will be wider, and the "Wang" is still those people, but the "ministers", in addition to the Minister of Military Aircraft, generally speaking, also include scholars and the main halls of various ministries, Zuodu Yushi and other first-class officials, however, there is no rule, who should attend, must be "ordered".
Guan Zhuofan replied: "Yes!" β
After a slight pause, "Minister, please Yizhi, when is the meeting of the king's ministers?" β
Ci'an pondered for a moment and said, "You guys are determined! However, it's not good to delay it for too long, just ...... Three or five days later, right? β
"Yes!"
"Also," Ci'an said slowly, "I think, Baoting's excerpt, there must be someone who doesn't care, you hand over the words, what do you think, these two days, hurry up and fold, when the time comes, it will be discussed at the meeting of the king's ministers!" β
"Yes, the ministers will obey the order!"
"The speaker is not guilty, tell the big guys not to have any scruples."
"Yes!"
"The speaker is not guilty" is a good sentence, but when some people hear it, the word "sin" is very piercing, and their hearts can't help but tremble.
"Also," said Ci'an, "this Council of Ministers, in addition to the pro-noble ministers, I think, should there also be a part of the speech?" β
"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are wise!" Guan Zhuofan said, "Please Yizhi, who should be sent to the meeting?" β
"There's a sentence, how do you say it?" Ci'an thought for a while, "Ah, by the way, 'those who are right and wrong are right and wrong', what is the ...... of 'please enter the urn'"
Speaking of this, he smiled, "Bao Ting and Bao Zhanlin, since they have such an excerpt, when the time comes, it will be better to call one of the two of them." β
Guan Zhuofan replied "yes" first, and then said: "Then send Baoting, after all, the matter is to beat him here." β
"Yes."
"The Empress Dowager just admonished," Guan Zhuofan said, "'Baoting's fold must also be disregarded by some people', the minister thought that since Baoting was sent to attend the meeting, then, if there is a proposal against him, he should also choose one or two to attend the meeting, so that it is the court's will to be impartial." β
"You've been thoughtful," said Tzu An, "well, so be it." β
"There is another layer," Guan Zhuofan said, "and the queen mother should also be revealed." The identity and situation of the minister, the current ...... Well, it's more embarrassing, the king's ministers' meeting, the ministers should not preside over it, please ask another simple and noble minister to preside over the meeting. β
Ci'an smiled slightly and said, "You mean...... Rong'an is your blessing, so you want to avoid suspicion? β
"Uh...... Yes, Shengming is no more than the Queen Mother. β
Ci'an shook his head and said, "You are wrong about this!" Rong'an is not only your Fujin, but also the daughter of Emperor Wenzong! In terms of titles, the two of you are 'enemies', but in the end, she is the king, and you are the minister! Between fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands and wives, it is true that they must avoid suspicion, but in the world, is there a reason for courtiers to avoid suspicion from the king? β
That is to say, between Princess Rong'an and Guan Zhuofan, there is a dual relationship between the monarch and the husband and wife, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is above the relationship between husband and wife, so Guan Zhuofan has no qualifications to "avoid suspicion" at all.
Guan Zhuofan hurriedly leaned over and said, "Yes, the minister is ridiculous!" β
Several big military planes are muttering in their hearts: The queen mother's truth is really powerful! - Is this "above" really the "stupid" queen mother?
