Chapter 14: The Stupid Woman
When these literati saw that women were in charge, such a thing would never be acceptable. It was impossible for Emperor Taichang's idea to come true, not to mention that Emperor Taichang had just destroyed their hopes, how could these ministers make the emperor happy.
Seeing that there was another cold scene below, Emperor Taichang suddenly became a little angry, and immediately shouted: "What do you people mean? Don't agree with the same state! After saying that, he coughed violently.
The ministers below still didn't say a word, for these ministers, they had just experienced the era of Wanli, and the morale of these people was not small. It's no longer the time for the court to open up its words, and the consequences of taking a straight name in the court are very serious, and it is likely that he will be killed in front of the palace gate with a rod. Moreover, most of the Qizhejiang and Chu Party members who are now standing in the court, and those Donglin Party members who are the first to take the wind and bones first, have not really grasped the speech of the imperial court.
If they oppose Li Xuanzhi at this time, and the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he is young, then he will wait to be copied and destroyed! Women have never known what soft-heartedness is. Didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fail to protect the Dou Xuan family in the hands of the Queen Mother? That's the Holy Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! Today's Son of Heaven, in their hearts, the best result is a mediocre emperor. Even these ministers are more inclined to be a faint king, how can anyone drive out and oppose him in such an environment?
But if you want to say yes, no one dares these people, the Ming Dynasty in this era is an era full of speeches, even if no one in the court says anything. But in Shilin, it is to invite pets and flattery, and jiān is misleading the country. That's a thing that has been scolded for 800 miles, and even my ancestors have been scolded for generations, and no one in these people dares to take this step. Even if you want to take refuge, you have to wait for all the dust to fall and you are leaning on the past, at this time, no one will be so stupid.
Emperor Taichang reluctantly stopped coughing, looked at the ministers below who asked their noses, noses, mouths, and mouths, and stood up suddenly. Stretched out his hand and pointed at the minister below, unable to say a word. Moreover, Emperor Taichang's body seemed to be shaking, and he was about to fall, and at this time, the eyes of all the ministers were focused on the body of the first assistant Fang Congzhe. If they were angry with the emperor and died in the court, then they would really go down in history, but it was unknown whether they were good or bad.
Fang Congzhe was also helpless at this time, at this time, the Donglin Party above the court had a tendency to counterattack, and as the core of the Qizhechu Party, he really couldn't fall into it at this time. Otherwise, this will definitely become the target of the Donglin Party's attack on him, and he will be about to become a leader, but he can't leave a bad name!
looked back at each other, and finally Fang Congzhe's gaze fell on a person, and he glanced at that person, and Fang Congzhe turned back.
When Emperor Taichang was about to scold, a person suddenly walked out, and after kneeling down with his clothes, his voice was very reluctant: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
When Emperor Taichang saw that someone finally stood up, the anger in his heart decreased slightly, and he slowly sat back, and said in a hoarse voice: "Since Sun Aiqing has something to say, let's get up and say it!" ”
This one who stood up was Sun Ruyou, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, an old man in his fifties, and after saying thank you, Sun Ruyou slowly stood up. Meaningfully glanced at Fang Congzhe, who was standing not far away, and saw that Fang Congzhe nodded slightly, Sun Ruyou said: "It's really Your Majesty's family matter, I'm not a courtier, it's not easy to interfere, since Your Majesty wants to do it, then do it!" ”
Emperor Taichang could clearly feel that Sun Ruyou was dissatisfied in his heart, and he was unwilling to go deep into this matter, so he gave such an answer. These ministers have always said that the emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and only when they disagree but have no choice, will they return the family affairs to the emperor.
Although Emperor Taichang was a little dissatisfied with this result, fortunately it was also passed, and he sighed lightly and said, "Do all Aiqing think so?" ”
His Royal Highness's ministers glanced at each other, and they knew that they should compromise at this time, and if they didn't get off the donkey now, they wouldn't be able to get down for a while. The ministers knelt down under the leadership of Fang Congzhe and shouted loudly: "The emperor is sage." ”
Emperor Taichang was very happy at this time, this matter was finally settled, and he did not spend his time pampering Li Xuanzhi, even if he had that day, he would have an explanation for her.
Emperor Taichang couldn't help but touch the dragon chair under him again, wondering if he would have a chance to sit here in the future. His eyes were full of reluctance, and he looked up at the prince not far away, and the feelings in his heart were very complicated.
Sighing softly, Emperor Taichang was just about to speak, when a person suddenly appeared behind the screen in the main hall. This person did not pay tribute to Emperor Taichang, nor did he pay attention to the many ministers below, but walked straight to the side of the crown prince.
"You come with me." took the prince's hand and walked out, and at the same time said loudly, his voice was full of anger, and it seemed that there was infinite grievance in his heart.
It wasn't until the crown prince and the man disappeared that Emperor Taichang and the ministers came back to their senses and looked at Emperor Taichang in disbelief. But Emperor Taichang shook his head and didn't say a word, although his face was a little unsightly, but he didn't say a word after all.
Seeing the emperor's attitude, the ministers below also lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Looking at the angry woman in front of him, Ye Xiang sneered in his heart, although he had the ambition to be Empress Lu, he didn't have that scheming. If Emperor Taichang can last a little longer, this woman may really be able to become a generation of authoritarian women, but unfortunately, her dream cannot be realized.
Concubine Zheng Guifei, who was used to pampering ** back then, didn't have anything like this, she just wanted her son to be put on the throne. Such a woman without a son would dare to have such a plan. You must know that the system of the Ming Dynasty is the most perfect except for the Qing Dynasty, and unless the emperor allows it, no one can dictate it.
This is why, in the Ming Dynasty, there was only the power of eunuchs, but no eunuch could be unfavorable to the emperor. Because their power was given by the emperor, once the emperor wanted to clean them up, whether it was Liu Jin, who was a great evil, or Wei Zhongxian, who was nine thousand years old, he could only wait to be beheaded.
This woman with unrealistic fantasies, Ye Xiang couldn't help but feel a little pity for him at this time, even if he didn't have himself, his plan would not be successful. What's more, now that she is here, it is even more impossible to let her yin succeed, otherwise it will be herself who will die. God gave Ye Xiang a chance to start over, and he would definitely not give up.
