The Ming Dynasty inherited the Song system, which is still based on the Zhou rites, and its core is the primogeniture inheritance system.

All kinds of special reasons at the time of the first emperor, and the fact that Empress Dowager Li was indeed regent by Emperor Muzong's will, and she was meritorious to the country, can be regarded as a special case, and it is also said in the past.

But today's biological mother of the Son of Heaven is just an ordinary concubine in the inner palace, even if she has the merit of raising the Son of Heaven, how can she surpass the main palace?

If the matter is true, then if the Son of Heaven really does it, then the two successive dynasties are the queen mothers of the two palaces and respected in parallel, and I am afraid that it will really follow the example.

Since the side concubine can trespass the main palace, how to ensure that the concubine will not encroach on the concubine, and the courtier will not encroach on the king?

This matter is small to say, but it is the Son of Heaven who cares about his biological mother, and to put it bigger, it is a major matter related to the name of etiquette and law, and it is not much less serious than the national capital reserve.

The cabinet ministers all knew the importance of etiquette, so they put away their loose thoughts, and their faces became more and more solemn.

This matter is different from the so-called rumors that Li Tingji just said, Shen Li just said that he learned about it from Feng Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Feng Qi, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will not easily talk nonsense in this kind of matter.

Moreover, even from a logical point of view, this matter is not incomprehensible.

Today's people have always served their mothers to filial piety, when the king was out of the palace, the only request made by the emperor today to the emperor was to take his biological mother Wang out of the palace to recuperate, it can be seen that he served his mother's filial piety, so thinking about it, it is normal for Concubine Gong to be dissatisfied with only an ordinary queen mother's position!

"It's really inappropriate, the orderly etiquette is the foundation of the imperial court, the queen mother of the two palaces and the emblem are a special case of the first emperor, forced by the situation, not the right way, how can it be learned!"

Following Wang Xijue's pace, the second assistant Zhenji also frowned and said.

Shen Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to continue.

"At that time, Feng Qi was playing His Majesty, and after His Majesty proposed that the two palaces be respected, he was admonished by Feng Qi, so His Majesty stopped talking, only saying that this matter was put on hold for the time being, and it would be discussed later, but I didn't want to drag it out until now, if the old man guessed correctly, it was precisely because of this matter that there was a gap between the present and the former emperor and queen, and the matter of Li Niangniang's name in the palace made His Majesty dissatisfied, so that the matter of the harem was delayed until now......

"Since this is the case, we can't wait any longer, the name of the harem can be decided one day earlier, so that His Majesty's mind can be cut off one day earlier, this is a major matter of etiquette, and there must be no slackness!"

Zhu Geng also seemed to have rediscovered the backbone of his heart and said firmly.

Li Tingji on the side was silent, but the entanglement in his heart was already revealed on his face.

Wang Xijue sighed and said.

"In that case, Your Majesty will arrive later, and after I have discussed Ye Shilang's recital, I will advise you on this matter......

However, as soon as Lao Shoufu's words fell, he saw that the door of the side hall was pushed open, and Wang An's father-in-law walked in with someone, arched his hand, but his face was a little weird.

"Gentlemen, please come out with us!"

"Princess, but Your Majesty is back?"

Li Tingji was the first to notice that something was wrong, took two steps forward, and asked.

Wang An paused, but shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you still have to wait for a while, the person who came is Gonggong Chen, you will know when you come with our family!"

Chen Gonggong...... The celebrant seals the eunuch Chen Ju?

After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for the Son of Heaven to come, why did I wait for this one instead, the ministers were confused, but Wang An didn't want to say more, and only led the ministers out of the side hall and came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace again.

At this moment, Chen Ju was already waiting in front of him, and when he saw them, he didn't say much, bowed his hand, and then took out an edict from his sleeve and raised his head high.

"The Empress Dowager will give the decree, gentlemen will accept the decree!"

Grand empress dowager?

The ministers suddenly looked at each other, just now they were still discussing the affairs of the harem, and in a blink of an eye, there was a decree of the queen mother, what kind of rhythm is this?

But in any case, the will always has to be received, and the ministers did not hesitate to bow down and accept the order.

"Zhenshou presents the Empress Dowager of Ci Sheng, the cabinet gentlemen know that the emperor's first heir to the throne is confined to government affairs, negligent in the harem, and does not know the etiquette system. The mourning family is dying, but seeing that the harem is restless, the position is uncertain, the heirs are turbulent, the cabinet is mediocre, and it is not a matter of the king, it is really painful, thinking about the first Emperor Muzong before the sickbed, entrusting the Ming dynasty to the hands of the mourning family, but now even the harem is difficult to be calm, what face does the mourning family have to meet the previous emperors? The ministers of the cabinet, as you have the responsibility of assisting the king, how can you rely on the emperor's temperament? The name of the Empress Dowager's emblem must be determined as soon as possible, and it is also good to carry out the queen's canonization ceremony, the six palaces of the commander-in-chief, the mother of the world, this edict! ”

Chen Ju's face was expressionless, he finished reading the entire Yi Zhi, and finally solemnly handed over the Yi Zhi to Wang Xijue's hands, and only then did he show his usual smile.

"Grandpa Chen, this ......"

The words in the edict are harsh, and the cabinet courtiers are full of meat and vegetables, and only the current empress dowager, who has the qualifications to uphold the government, can reprimand these ministers so harshly.

But if the Empress Dowager is in front of them now, she will immediately kneel down and shout grievances, God is pitiful, how do they know what happened to the emperor's harem?

Even now, after receiving this edict, they are still confused in their hearts, and they don't know what the situation is, they only know that the empress dowager is very angry, and she has sprinkled her anger on the cabinet, and it seems that the reason for her anger is related to the name of the harem.

Only Wang Xijue was still sober and respectfully accepted Yi's decree, and then slowly got up and asked Chen Ju.

"Gentlemen, be careful, your majesty went to ask Concubine Gong to say goodbye today, and was called by the Queen Mother to reprimand halfway through, and has not come back yet, so why do you think you gentlemen also have a bottom in their hearts, we won't say much, we have to go back to Renshou Palace to renew the decree, but Your Majesty has just been reprimanded, I'm afraid it's not very comfortable, you pay attention!"

With that, they left in a hurry, leaving the cabinet courtiers who were still at a loss for what to do.

Just now they were still talking about whether they wanted to advise the emperor about the harem, but in a blink of an eye, the empress dowager intervened in this matter, so did they continue to advise?

Or wait and see?

You must know that Chen Ju has always been a cautious person, and he reminded him, indicating that the Son of Heaven must be in a state of annoyance now, and this muzzle of the gun is not easy to do......
