Chapter 452: A Place to Stay
"Your Majesty, since you have ascended the throne and pro-government, it is not appropriate for the Queen Mother to live in the Qianqing Palace anymore, please ask the Emperor to choose another bedroom for the Queen Mother!"
Zhu Youxiao's decision to preside over the case of the Donglin Party's invasion of the palace was pushed back by the court of the central government, and Liu Yixi, a scholar of Dongge University, stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Youxiao.
Qianqing Palace is the location of the power center of the Ming Empire, which represents the imperial power in a sense, according to the custom, there is only one woman in the harem who can live in the Qianqing Palace, that is, the queen.
However, if the new emperor was young when he ascended the throne, the empress dowager would stay in the Qianqing palace to take care of it, the most recent example being the Wanli Emperor who ascended the throne at a young age.
In addition, when the empress has not yet canonized a new empress, the favored concubines can live in the Qianqing Palace to take care of the emperor.
Now Zhu Youxiao has ascended the throne in Wenhua Palace, so according to the etiquette system, Empress Li should move out of the Qianqing Palace and find another palace to live in.
At the same time, this also means that Empress Li can no longer intervene in the affairs of the court and China in the future, and Zhu Youxiao needs to make decisions when encountering major military and political affairs.
After listening to Liu Yixiao's recital, Zhu Youxiao's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, because Emperor Wanli and Emperor Taichang died one after another, he had nowhere to place Empress Li for a while.
Originally, Empress Li was supposed to live in Cining Palace after becoming the Empress Dowager, but because Empress Dowager Zheng lived there, and Empress Dowager Zheng's qualifications in the palace were much deeper than Empress Li's, it was not appropriate to let Empress Dowager Zheng make room for Empress Li.
In ancient times, there was a saying that "the king does not see the king", which means that two people of noble status cannot live together, otherwise they will inevitably collide with each other, which is the case with Empress Li and Empress Dowager Zheng.
But in addition to Cining Palace, there are only Renshou Palace, Luan Palace, and Qifeng Palace, where the concubines of Emperor Wanli and Emperor Taichang live, but these three palaces are located in the middle of nowhere, and the environment is not very good, and they are called "cold palaces" by the people, which are not suitable for Queen Li to live in.
"Kunning Palace is now empty, so the Queen Mother can be temporarily sheltered." After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and said that he couldn't think about how to settle Empress Li for a while, so he first let Empress Li live in Kunning Palace, and then solved the problem of Empress Li's accommodation.
"Your Majesty, don't do it!" Unexpectedly, Liu Yixiao immediately objected when he heard this, and said with a serious expression, "Kunning Palace is the residence of the queen, representing the status of the lord of the harem. ”
"Your Majesty, Scholar Liu is reasonable, the Queen Mother is indeed not suitable to stay in Kunning Palace, otherwise where is my Ming etiquette!" Subsequently, Han Yi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, immediately said in a deep voice, disapproving of Empress Li's stay in Kunning Palace.
"This is wrong, the queen mother has the grace of nurturing the emperor, and now that the emperor is on the throne for the first time, it is also a piece of filial piety for the queen mother to temporarily live in Kunning Palace, which is a reasonable move." Fang Congzhe frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice after bowing to Zhu Youxiao, opposing Liu Yixiao and Han Yi's statement.
Although Empress Li is not Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, she has raised Zhu Youxiao for a year, and the Ming Dynasty has established the country with filial piety first, so there is nothing wrong with temporarily living in Kunning Palace when Empress Li has no suitable place to live.
"Your Majesty, filial piety comes first, and the emperor is based on filial piety, which is understandable." Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately bowed when he heard this, and the other party expressed his support.
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Immediately after, Li Hongyu, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, coincidentally expressed their attitudes.
I have to say that from a reasonable point of view, it is the most appropriate way for Empress Li to temporarily live in Kunning Palace, and Liu Yixiao and Han Yi are a little nitpicky in this matter.
"Your Majesty, this move must not be done, how to govern the country when the etiquette and law are messed up?" Seeing this situation, He Zongyan, a scholar of Dongge University, and other auxiliary ministers of the Donglin Party hurriedly spoke up to support Liu Yixian and Han Yi.
Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he heard this, he naturally knew that whether Empress Li temporarily lived in Kunning Palace was not only a matter of etiquette and filial piety, but also involved the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties.
Obviously, the Donglin Party offended Empress Li to death this time, so they had to knock Empress Li down and then kick it again, so that Empress Li would never be able to turn over, so that they would not be threatened by Empress Li.
Once Empress Li lives in Kunning Palace, it means that she is still the lord of the harem, so the first unlucky one is Wang An, with Queen Li's cleverness, how can she not see that the matter of breaking into the palace is the result of Wang An and the Donglin Party?
Secondly, Kunning Palace is located behind the Qianqing Palace, and the two are only separated by a layer of palace walls, which gives Empress Li the opportunity to contact Zhu Youxiao, which is naturally what the Donglin Party does not want to see.
Therefore, the Donglin Party not only wanted to drive Empress Li out of the Qianqing Palace, but also drove her to a cold palace like Renshou Palace to stay, so that she could no longer pose a threat to her.
"Think about it again."
Seeing that the people of the Donglin Party and the officials of the Qichu and Zhejiang parties had a quarrel over the issue of Empress Li's "moving the palace", Zhu Youxiao stopped the fight in time, frowned and said loudly, "Before I make a decision, I will live in Qingning Palace!" ”
Qingning Palace is the prince's bedroom, although it is not in the inner court of the Forbidden City, but Zhu Youxiao has lived in it for many years, so in terms of feelings, he is naturally closer to Qingning Palace.
Fang Congzhe, Liu Yixian and others saw that Zhu Youxiao didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, so they kept silent, it was obvious that no one on either side could convince anyone now, and no matter how much they argued, it was just futile to speak.
"Your Majesty, there are several years of Yamen who have drawn up a few year names, please ask the emperor to judge." At this time, Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly remembered an important matter, and hurriedly bowed down to Zhu Youxiao and said.
The ministers in the main hall suddenly came back to their senses when they heard this, and hurriedly looked at Zhu Youxiao on the throne, because their attention was focused on the Donglin Party's invasion of the palace, so they forgot that Zhu Youxiao hastily ascended the throne and did not have an era name, and the enthronement ceremony was held.
Although Zhu Youxiao has ascended the throne in the Wenhua Hall to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the enthronement ceremony is a ceremony to announce to the world that Zhu Youxiao is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally cannot be dismissed.
Zhu Youxiao was already exhausted after experiencing the incident just now, and wanted to go to Qingning Palace to rest, stabilize his mind and clear the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not waste any time on the era name and the enthronement ceremony, and soon chose "Apocalypse" among the several era names provided by Yousi Yamen, hoping to create a new era for the Ming Dynasty after ascending the throne.
Since the enthronement ceremony had already been announced to the world, Zhu Youxiao decided to hold the ceremony as originally planned, and it would be very unlucky if the date was changed.
After deciding on the name of the year and the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Youxiao went to Qingning Palace with a tired look, and the Tuogu auxiliary ministers led the officials of the court to appease the officials who speculated outside and stabilize the situation.
Unlike those auxiliary ministers, Li Hongyu's task was to inspect the defense of the Forbidden City, and together with Mu Chongfeng, the Duke of Wuguo, he handled the formalities for the handover of defense between the new army and the pro-army.
When Li Hongyu and Mu Chongfeng inspected the Qianqing Gate, they heard a quarrel coming from the Qianqing Gate from a distance, as if someone was arguing.
This caused the two to look at each other in some surprise, and then walked quickly forward to check, wondering if anyone dared to make a noise in the harem.
Not far from the Qianqing Gate, a group of chamberlains surrounded several chamberlains, and the two sides had a fierce argument there, and both sides were very emotional, and they were almost about to start.
Li Hongyu and Mu Chongfeng listened outside the Qianqing Gate for a while and knew what was going on, and the small number of inner servants was sent by Empress Li to inquire about the news, but they were blocked by the many inner servants and forbade them to go out of the Qianqing Gate.
Listening to this, Li Hongyu's brows furrowed, as far as he knew, Zhu Youxiao did not restrict Empress Li's freedom, so those who dared to obstruct Empress Li's errand in the harem were definitely not on Zhu Youxiao's orders.
Therefore, who can mobilize the inner servants to prevent the inner servants around Empress Li from leaving the Qianqing Gate is about to come out, and there is no one else except Wang An, the chief eunuch of the Forbidden City.
As for why Wang An did this, Li Hongyu didn't have to guess to know, he must be afraid that Empress Li would gain power again, and in that case, he would definitely not let him go, and with Empress Li's mind, he would definitely be able to guess afterwards that Wang An was colluding with the people of the Donglin Party.
"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs!" Mu Chongfeng sneered and said to Li Hongyu, seemingly dissatisfied with Wang An in his words.
Although the Long Xiang Wei and the Tiger Xiang Wei are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervision, they belong to the pro-army in terms of establishment, if in other words, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has the right to transfer troops, and the pro-army has the right to command the army.
Therefore, this incident gave Mu Chongfeng a great embarrassment, in any case, it was the pro-army of Qianqingmen who failed to guard the palace gate, which caused the people of the Donglin Party to break in and snatch the prince.
And among them, Wang An must have played a very important role, otherwise there would not have been the servant who faked Queen Li's message at the critical moment, Mu Chongfeng had seen a lot of officialdom, how could I not guess that this was related to Wang An, otherwise a small chamberlain would not dare to do it anyway.
Besides, how did the chamberlain know that the Donglin Party was coming to break into the palace?
Therefore, Mu Chongfeng now hates Wang An quite much in his heart, and treats Long Xiangwei's pro-army who is on duty at Qianqing Gate like a fool.
Now, the soldiers of the Qianqingmen Longxiangwei who let the Donglin party into the harem have all been imprisoned in the edict of Jinyiwei, and God knows what fate awaits them.
"Grandpa Guo, why bother with the villain, Skynet is magnificent and negligent, and what should come will always come." Li Hongyu knew that Mu Chongfeng was annoyed now, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.
Li Hongyu did not simply comfort Mu Chongfeng, originally the collusion between the inner servants and the foreign ministers was a taboo in the court, especially one side was Wang An, who was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and the other side was the Donglin Party that controlled the cabinet, so it directly posed a threat to the imperial power, and something would happen sooner or later.
"It's a pity, that guy who pretended to pass on Empress Li's dictation doesn't know where to hide, otherwise he can find out the main messenger behind the scenes as long as he tries first, and my father doesn't believe that he can withstand those tortures of Beizhen Fusi!"
Hearing this, Mu Chongfeng smashed the palm of his left hand with his right fist with hatred, looking difficult to let go, after all, this incident had an extremely bad impact on the reputation of the pro-army, making the pro-army a joke in the outside world, and even the Forbidden City was well guarded.
Li Hongyu's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, I am afraid that Mu Chongfeng's idea will come to naught, after causing such a big incident, the chamberlain who pretended to pass on the oracle can only die, it is obvious that if he is alive, he will definitely not be able to stand the torture in the edict prison, so Wang An will never take this risk!
