The Ming Dynasty implements the primogeniture inheritance system, in the order of inheritance, the son-in-law is better than the son-in-law, the eldest son is better than the second son, and the order of inheritance is clear and clear, so theoretically speaking, generally only in the absence of a son-in-law, will be succeeded by the son-in-law, and throughout the Ming Dynasty, there are few queens in power and no son-in-law, so generally speaking, there is only one queen mother in the harem.

But there are always special things, such as Zhu Changluo's father, Zhu Yijun, is a typical concubine to succeed to the throne, and the mother-in-law is still there, so the biological mother and mother-in-law are the same as the emblem, Jin Feng's biological mother Li is the Empress Dowager Cisheng, living in Cining Palace, and Jin Feng's mother-in-law Chen is the Empress Dowager of Rensheng, living in Renshou Palace.

But this is a special case, strictly speaking, a violation!

In the formal regulations of the Ming Dynasty, if the concubine succeeds to the throne, the biological mother of the Son of Heaven is respected as the queen mother, but the status of the concubine is respected by the biological mother, so it must be distinguished by the emblem.

And generally speaking, among the queen mothers of the two palaces, the honorable should live in Cining Palace, and those with low status should live in Renshou Palace.

But in the Wanli Dynasty, it was reversed, and the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager Li, not only had the same honorific title as her mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Chen, but also entered the Cining Palace in a grand manner, which has to be said to be a strange thing.

You know, this involves a ritual word, and at other times, when this kind of thing happens, the ministers will already go crazy.

When Emperor Xianzong succeeded to the throne, he almost almost detained the ministers because of the problem of the queen mother of the two palaces.

But the Wanli Dynasty is different, firstly, because Empress Dowager Li was the position of the imperial concubine before she was crowned the queen mother, and there was only a line between her and the queen.

Second, because she is different from the usual biological mother of the Son of Heaven, Empress Dowager Li is the Empress Dowager of Bingzheng, and she was ordered by the first emperor to be the regent, so that she can directly exert pressure on the ministers, and her status has also been slightly improved.

The third reason is because there were two important figures in the court at that time, who clearly supported her entry into Cining Palace!

One of these two people was Feng Bao, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal at that time, and the other was Zhang Juzheng, who was the then young master, the prince of the Taibao Department, Shangshu Jianjidian, and the scholar of the Imperial Palace, who was also commonly known as the second assistant!

Both of them were Emperor Muzong's ministers, and insisted that the young lord succeed to the throne, and should focus on stabilizing the court situation, and it was not appropriate to displease the Empress Dowager Bingzheng on the emblem, so under the strong leadership of these two, even if a group of court ministers were dissatisfied, they had to pinch their noses and endure it.

But it is obvious that today is different from the past, Zhu Changluo was already an adult when he succeeded to the throne, and the status of the Wang family was also different from that of Li Guifei back then, but what Zhu Changluo just said was for the two queen mothers......

"Luo'er, don't talk nonsense! In the harem, you are respectful and orderly, and your mother treats you like a parent, how can you be so contemptuous? ”

It was not Queen Wang who spoke, but Zhu Changluo's mother-in-law, Concubine Gong, who had only one son in the Wang family, who had always been regarded as the meat of his heart, but at this moment, his face was rarely lowered, and there was a little more anger between his words.

To tell the truth, the Wang family has never cared much about the position of the harem, whether she has an honorific title or not, she is the emperor's biological mother, the dignified queen mother, in this harem, no one can deceive her.

What made her angry was Zhu Changluo's unclear attitude, when they were in the palace in the early years, they were sheltered under the queen and queen, so that they could barely survive.

This is a well-known thing in the government and the opposition, and in the matter of seizing the heir in the future, the queen and queen also have a lot of help.

Now as soon as Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he respected the queen mother of the two palaces, and it was not said that he violated the etiquette and law.

However, the queen was much quieter, her expression was slightly cold when she heard this, and she looked at Zhu Changluo fixedly, as if she wanted to get to know him again, but when she saw that his face was sincere and frank, she couldn't help but move in her heart.

"What the hell are you thinking, don't make a fool of yourself, so as not to scare your mother!"

Zhu Changluo scratched the back of his head, he didn't expect that he would provoke such a big reaction from the Wang family when he showed his mouth slightly, his wife's skills in this palace struggle are really not comparable to this queen who has been in the middle palace for many years!

Seeing him like this, Queen Wang relieved her heart, knowing that his original intention was not in the harem, but intended to play a role in the court......

"That, Queen Mother, if I'm not mistaken, there is still a younger brother in the Queen Mother's family, named Wang Dong, who is now a thousand households in Jinyi Weizheng?"

Zhu Changluo thought about it, and didn't know how to explain it, so he simply asked directly.

"Yes, the younger brother of the mourning family is indeed a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu, but the emperor should know that his Qianhu is a false position, not a real seal, and he can't help you!"

Queen Wang frowned slightly, and said truthfully.

Because of the chaos of the relatives of the former Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Taizu established the ancestral system, and the concubines and even the queens of the Ming Dynasty were all selected from the Shili family of the small family, and the mother's family had no power, which fundamentally cut off the possibility of the harem dictatorship, and basically put an end to the way of relatives interfering in politics.

Therefore, the relatives of the Ming Dynasty actually never had any real power, just like Wang Wei, the father of the queen, who is the lord of the country, and is also a little famous among the relatives, but he is not a real relative after all.

Because the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Jingying, and even the Jinyi Guard and the Shangzhi Twenty-six Guards, which are controlled by the orthodox commanders, do not have his share, in the final analysis, because he is a foreign relative, a Xun Qi and a Xun Qi, although they are called together, but they are actually different.

So Queen Wang couldn't figure it out for a while, what did Zhu Changluo do when she mentioned her younger brother?

"If I'm not mistaken, this uncle of mine is quite talented, and he manages the top and bottom of the Yongnian Mansion properly!"

Zhu Changluo continued.

Queen Wang nodded, still looking at Zhu Changluo suspiciously, not knowing what he was planning to do......

This is the helplessness of relatives, neither allowed to go out, nor allowed to join the army, become a relative, you can only honestly take the court, no matter how great you are, there is nowhere to show.

Queen Wang knows the nature of her younger brother, although her family is not a big family, but it is also a poetry heirloom, before being selected as a show girl, her father was very strict with his children's family education, so even if the Wang family is noble because of her, there is no general family habits.

His younger brother is even more of a good hand, not only running all kinds of open and secret businesses outside the home, but also handy in communicating with the court, but unfortunately limited by the identity of his relatives, after all, he can only do some business and get some silver.

"With this ability, it's a pity that it's useless, I plan to transfer him to Nanzhen Fusi to serve, I don't know what the queen mother wants?"

A smile appeared on Zhu Changluo's face, and he continued to look sincere.

However, the queen sat up straight suddenly, her expression slightly excited.

"Is the emperor serious?"
