There are two queen mothers in the palace, one is Zhu Houxi's biological mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, and the other is the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, who is also his aunt. His biological mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, was 17 years earlier than Jiajing.

Although his aunt Empress Dowager Zhaosheng never made trouble for him, he occupied Ci'an Palace in the end, and he had to meet her every time there was a national ceremony or the fifteenth day of the new year.

Because of the competition for the status of the biological father and mother back then, as long as I met my aunt, I was always a little embarrassed.

It's good to be dead, it's easy for her to die, he's also relaxed, and the battle of great etiquette can finally come to an end with her death.

With a flick of his god's kung fu, he commanded: "Do it according to the rules." ”

"Yes."

The next two said yes, but this rule, is it according to the rules of the queen mother, or according to the rules of the emperor's aunt? There are many twists and turns.

Chen Hong secretly glanced at Huang Jin, but found that Huang Jin was not squinting, what was this old chicken thief thinking? Chen Hong couldn't make up his mind, but he thought in his heart, it's a big deal to make some trivial preparations first, and wait for the rest to come down.

The next day, the ministers stood in front of the palace.

Guo Xun and all the ministers shouted Holy Ann together and stood in front of people.

Zhu Houxi was wearing an ethereal robe, wearing a crown of pearl flowers woven by Lan Daoxing himself, although he was elegant and elegant, he did not look like an emperor.

He smiled and said, "Guo Guogong has worked hard this time to the south. ”

Guo Xun smiled, a little proud, and arched his hand: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, there is no war in the south for the time being, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is really peaceful." ”

Zhu Houxi exhaled lightly, raised his eyes and looked at Lan Daoxing: "The Blue Immortal has prayed for the blessing of the country, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds." ”

Lan Daoxing bowed slightly, nodded and smiled: "Supreme Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun." Today, Lord Zhao, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has sent the tribute from the Ryukyus to the palace, and 130 pieces of porcelain have been unscathed. ”

He smiled and continued: "During the Zhengde period, Ryukyu also paid tribute every year, but every time it was slightly damaged, it seems that such unscathed is really a strange news. Your Majesty does not go out of the house, but knows the world; Don't peep, see the way of heaven. Sincerity leads to the well-being of all the people, which is the work of His Majesty. ”

When the emperor is not greedy for fame, Rao is Zhu Houxi, the first emperor of the ages, is not exempt from vulgarity.

Hearing this, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but nod and smile, and looked sideways at Huang Jindao: "Lan Qing's family, specially awarded Shaobao, eat a good product, and be crowned as a Yang Zhenren." Today I have fasting with me. ”

Lan Daoxing was grateful, he shook off the dust slightly, knelt on his knees, and thanked: "Long live the grace of God." ”

Zhu Houxi looked sideways at Zhao Wenhua below, and said with a smile: "Your errand is very good." ”

Zhao Wenhua arched his hand and said: "This is the blessing of Your Majesty, and the minister does not dare to be greedy." He looked awe-inspiring, and his words were respectful, without the slightest false compliment.

Who doesn't like to listen to such nice words?

Zhu Houxi laughed happily: "Haha, Zhao Wenhua appreciates ten colored brocades and ten makeup velvets." ”

Zhao Wenhua fell to the ground with a smile on his face, and shouted in a loud voice: "Long live Xie!" ”

Zhu Houxi was very satisfied with his reaction, but he smiled blankly, and asked instead: "The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng has been Min Ruijia all her life, but she fell ill last night. Cabinet, mourning clothes, what regulations should be? ”

Xia Yan arched his hand and replied: ""Etiquette" said: No staff, hemp; Grandparents, it is said: Why do you expect it? Supreme also. parents, uncles; It is said: Father, uncle, why do you expect it? One with His Holiness...... His Majesty and the Crown Prince should be dressed in Qi decaying clothes. ”

The meaning of this sentence is that if you wear the clothes of decay and do not need a mourning rod, but wear bast shoes, the sun is a grandfather and grandmother, and the legend says: Why should a grandson mourn for his grandfather and grandmother for a year? Grandfathers and grandmothers were the most honorable people in the same lineage. for uncles and uncles; For they are brothers of their fathers, and brothers are one flesh......

Zhu Houxi wore Qi decay clothes because his biological father Xingxian Wang and his uncle Xiaozong were brothers, which is understandable.

The "Great Etiquette" incident that he Zhu Houxi has been making trouble for three years is just to understand the steps of his succession to the throne. We will not mention the twists and turns for the time being, but only talk about the results announced by the officials.

The etiquette of his succession to the throne is "brother dies and brother succeeds, father passes on son" these two steps.

In terms of concreteness, it is the death of his uncle Xiaozong, and his father inherited the throne of his uncle. His father passed the throne to himself. It was to kick Wu Zong out alive.

Taking advantage of the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, in order to show this point again, it is natural for him to dress in Qi decay clothes to mourn his aunt.

From this point of view, for his son, the crown prince Zhu Zaiyan, he only needs to wear light mourning clothes for the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng.

If the crown prince is also wearing Qi decay clothes, does he regard the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng as his own grandmother!

Xia Yan is reminding himself that he should not recognize his biological father, but call his dead uncle Xiaozong Daddy! Let yourself be in this vein?

This is not only a piece of clothing, but also a matter of the dignity of the royal family, and the etiquette of his Zhu Houxi inheriting the throne!

Zhu Houxi's face sank even more, but at this time, Guo Xun stepped forward and arched his hand: "Xia Ge Lao's words are wrong, Your Majesty is inheriting his father's throne and offering the emperor's throne, and it is legitimate to wear Qi Decay clothes for his aunt, but the prince does not need to be so mourned." ”

This was said to Zhu Houxi's heart, Zhu Houyu didn't look at Xia Yan's stiffness, and only asked Guo Xun: "What does Guo Qing's family want?" ”

The emperor called "Qing Family", which means closeness.

Guo Xun was overjoyed and replied: "Your Majesty is wearing Qi decay clothes, the prince... A light mourning is fine. ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to glance at the ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The ministers shouted one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Xia Yan was extremely cold, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and this wrong sentence pierced His Majesty's heart.

His throat rolled up and down, and his fists clenched tremblingly.

Guo Xun glared at Xia Yan contemptuously, snorted lightly, and arched his hand again: "Your Majesty, yesterday when I entered the city, the minister went to the Ministry of Rites to find Yan Shangshu to discuss the Tibetan land for an edict, and in September, the chiefs of all ethnic groups were ordered to raise their deceased officials and go to Beijing to confer their posts. But I learned that the Ministry of Rites was replaced by someone else? ”

Jiajing smiled slightly: "Tao Shangshu can't be in charge?" ”

As soon as Guo Xun heard this, he knew that what Zhu Houxi wanted to hear was in harmony with his heartfelt words, so he immediately smiled and replied: "If this Ministry of Rites is a daughter red, then as soon as Yan Shangshu leaves, it will become a flower carving (flower withering)." ”

Zhu Houxi smiled loudly, pointed at Guo Xun and said, "Guo Guogong is still so good. He glanced sideways at Xia Yan, and saw Xia Yan looking at his nose and nose as if he hadn't heard of it.

For a while, he was overjoyed, and said: "Tao Shangshu still needs to be experienced, so he will go to Yingtianfu to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Song... The official was reinstated. ”
