Just when some people are nostalgic, some people are entangled, some people have bad intentions, some people are hostile, some people speculate whether Zhu Zilong has an accident, etc., etc., all kinds of situations are mixed together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past month in the capital of Daming, there have been many rumors circulating, which are said to have come from the palace and the ministers.

Among them, one is the most prevalent and controversial.

This rumor is that the emperor does not wake up for a year, and the fear of immortal travel does not know the return date. This is still an auspicious sign, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, let alone a year without a king. Therefore, among the hundreds of officials, they deliberately put the Ming Dynasty as the priority, and immediately invited a prisoner to come out and preside over the overall situation.

When the emperor woke up, the prison state was naturally revoked.

(Jianguo is a political system in ancient China, usually referring to the fact that when the emperor is away, an important person (such as the crown prince) stays at the court to handle state affairs.) It also refers to the monarch's failure to govern in person, and others act as the government. ）

Although the Ming Dynasty has a cabinet to deal with state affairs, it doesn't matter much if the emperor is not there, just like the Wanli Emperor has not been in court for decades.

However, after all, the cabinet is in the general environment of the family world, the name is not right, the words are not good, the emperor and the steward must have.

There will be many forces that support this.

For example, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the eunuch group, the imperial relatives and nobles gathered their strength, the emperor's army, the scholars and the common people who supported the imperial power, and so on. There is even a Zhu family army to support the royal family!

Therefore, back then, Zhang Ju was so hung up that it was impossible to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, which was one of the reasons.

In this case, it is necessary to temporarily elect a prisoner.

Generally speaking, in all dynasties, most of the candidates for the prison will be the crown prince.

"Chinese Jin Yu I": "Jun Xing, the prince dwells, and the country is also imprisoned; Jun Xing, the prince from, to Fu Jun also. ”

"Historical Records: Jin Shijia": "The prince, the tomb is enshrined in the society of the sheng, and the person who eats the monarch is also regarded as the day and night, so it is called the tomb." The monarch is guarded, there are rules to follow, from the army to the army, to guard the country, and the ancient system. ”

"Old Tang Dynasty Book: Gaozong Ji II": "Gengshen, take the bait and order the crown prince to supervise the country." ”

However, the situation is too special now. The crown prince is only a year old, and he is still breastfeeding, how can he be the master of a country?

Letting a baby be a prison country is also a super joke, no matter how enlightened supporters are, I am afraid that a nursing baby can manage the country.

So, the situation is a little weird now.

The crown prince was too young to directly supervise the country. I have to have someone to help me!

So who will help the crown prince to supervise the country?

This is a place where the officials and the people are concerned about and concern.

The people who let Zhu Zilong win over in the cabinet early on, as well as some officials who took refuge in him, as well as most of the people in the Zhu family army (especially Lin Shuang'er, the temporary head of the family), naturally supported one of the proposals, that is, the crown prince would supervise the country, and then the queen would listen to the government.

(Curtain to listen to politics: The queen mother or queen is in the court to listen to the government, and the palace is covered by a curtain.) LISTEN: Governance. It refers to the Empress Dowager's management of state affairs. Began in the Han Dynasty, when Liu Tie died, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty ignored political affairs, and Empress Lu came to the dynasty. ）

The system of "hanging the curtain and listening to the government" can be traced back to the old Warring States period at the earliest in the history of our country. After the death of the monarch during the Warring States period, if the successor monarch was young, the monarch's mother could assist him.

However, according to the rules of the court, officials were not allowed to directly watch and contact the Queen Mother, so the Empress Dowager who was an auxiliary minister generally sat in the room on the side of the monarch's administration hall, and hung a curtain between the room and the hall to listen to the officials and the monarch talk about government affairs.

As a result, this system of the mother helping the monarch, or the future monarch's auxiliary government, is vividly called "listening to the government through the curtain".

This kind of event has occurred many times in China's history, and it is not a tradition that only existed in the Qing Dynasty.

The first person in China to listen to the government was the Empress Dowager Xuan, the mother of King Zhao of Qin during the Warring States Period. In 306 BC, the seventeen-year-old King Zhao of Qin succeeded to the throne, and his mother, Empress Dowager Xuan, began a 41-year regency career in the name of her son's young age, and thus opened the precedent for the harem to participate in politics.

In the past 40 years, Empress Dowager Xuan has always been the de facto supreme ruler of the Qin State, forming a situation in which the Qin State only knows that "there are Queen Mother, Marquis, Gaoling, Huayang, and Jingyang, but they do not hear that they have kings".

Another example: Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty ignored political affairs, and Empress Lu came to the court. Emperor Han was born only 100 days after succeeding Emperor Han He as emperor, and Empress Deng came to the dynasty as the empress dowager.

Another example: During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Empress Dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty also used to be in power.

Also: Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty even abolished Tang Jianzhou as the empress dowager, and became the emperor himself.

Even in the Song Dynasty, there were many empress dowagers who were in the dynasty.

The reason why the curtain of the Qing Dynasty listened to the government was the most familiar to our Chinese people, and it was one person.

That's right, he is the Empress Dowager Cixi.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the system of listening to government reached its peak and formed a set of strict, systematic and perfect political systems. The Empress Dowager Cixi's curtain listening to the government is the most famous in history, and it is also the last female protagonist in Chinese feudal society to govern, and it also directed a thrilling scene on the political stage at that time.

Of course, what makes the Chinese remember even more is the traitorous words and traitorous behavior of this queen mother, who has made future generations scold for thousands of years.

Her four famous quotes are:

[1] "Protecting the Qing Dynasty does not protect China", [2] Rather give friends than domestic slaves, [3] Measure China's material resources and form a friendship with the country, [4] "The Qing Dynasty is not China, the braids cannot go, and the braids go to China if they do not die, and the Qing Dynasty will die." ”！

Of course, now that the Ming Dynasty has not fallen, naturally no one except Zhu Zilong knows that there is such a woman.

But even if you look upwards, the previous dynasties.

But whenever the harem is in charge, it seems that the country is not very strong.

For example, in the Han Dynasty when Empress Lu hung the curtain, she assassinated Han Xin with a bamboo stick. And he also wanted the emperor to become a puppet, and in the end, the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty were in chaos, if it weren't for the famous monarchy later, the country would have been in chaos.

For another example, Wu Zetian directly changed the dynasty.

So, when this rumor came out. Soon, even if Huang Liji and others supported the queen, many officials of the Ming Dynasty expressed their opposition, especially those who spoke about it.

In addition, when the Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang had established an ancestral system, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

Therefore, Empress Zhang wanted to come out to help her son supervise the country together, this plan, if she really wants to realize, I am afraid it will be difficult. Didn't you see it, now the DPRK and China are arguing about this matter?

The current situation is that half of the members of the former cabinet are against it.

Lu Xiangsheng and others, who were originally neutral, seem to have finally sided with the opposing side. It is not enough to rely on the support of Huang Liji and others.

In the end, the result after the civil and military officials quarreled at the court meeting was.

It is right and necessary for the crown prince to supervise the country. But this person who helped the prince to supervise the country cannot be the queen, and he has to choose another one. At the same time, this person cannot completely override the cabinet, but must be compatible with the cabinet.

In other words, the crown prince is sure of the country, but the choice of this regent is worth discussing.

(A regent is a person who exercises the leadership of the state in place of or on behalf of a foreign, young, sick, or insane and incapable monarch.) ）

It is usually held by the monarch's relatives or relatives, and in general, the regent is just a title when the regent is the prince of the imperial family.

Of course, there are other times, and it is not a tradition that only existed in the Qing Dynasty.

This is a tradition that is shared in both China and abroad.

For example: Tibet (the regency system in Tibet began in 1751 and ended with the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1951, with a total of 12 regents)!

Another example: since the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute to China in 1372, China would send envoys to canonize every time the throne changed. When the first king went and the heir had not yet accepted the canonization, he was in charge of the country as the prince, which was equivalent to the regent. In addition, regent was also an official position in the ancient Ryukyus.

In ancient Japan, the regent was the ruling minister of the minor emperor, and the emperor was called Sekihaku when he came of age.

In Chinese history, such as the regent of Zhou Gong in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the regent of Wang Mang in the Han Dynasty, they are all famous real people and real events.
