The Emperor's Family Affairs

This day is no exception. I saw Prime Minister Lu Yijian suddenly walked up, as if asking a very trivial and boring sentence, "Queen Mother, I heard that a concubine in the palace died yesterday"

As soon as these words came out, the queen mother of his powerful town suddenly stood up, as if facing a great enemy, "Prime Minister, do you want to take care of the affairs of the palace?" After speaking, without waiting for Lu Yijian to answer, he immediately pulled him up and walked into the inner palace. On that day, Zhao Zhen must have been puzzled, but he was used to unconditional obedience. He didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to ask. Just watched his queen mother leave suddenly and hurriedly.

Liu E hurriedly returned to the front hall, Lu Yijian still didn't move, and the others were gone. Looking at each other and knowing it, Liu E directly asked, "Why do you want to separate my mother and son"

Lu Yijian only replied, "Queen Mother, don't you want to protect the Liu family in the future?" Dare to threaten the safety of the queen mother's family! But the strange thing is that Liu E, who has been strong all her life, is silent. She thought about it carefully, and the final result was that she was discouraged.

The dialogue between the prime minister and the queen mother in a total of 4 sentences is not known at all, but in fact, it is related to the biggest inside story of the palace that has been hidden for more than 20 years. Liu E is blessed, this "palace concubine" is 20 years younger than her, but she died a full 13 months earlier than her. This saved her a lot of trouble. But what Lu Yijian said about Liu's safety was by no means alarmist, so she would "understand a little"

But I hesitated, but I didn't do it. She still had to send this "palace concubine" with the gift of an ordinary palace person, and the reason was high-sounding: the officials of the Ministry of Rites found out that the concubine died at the wrong time, so she couldn't hold a big funeral. At this time, Lu Yijian stood up again against it! This time, I no longer asked the Queen Mother if she cared about Liu's safety, but directly asked for a funeral in the Imperial Palace, and stopped the spirit in Hongfu Temple with a great gift, and the Queen Mother and the emperor had to mourn and dress! This is the most solemn funeral ceremony in the feudal empire after the death of the emperor!

Liu E ignored him, and there was a holy decree in the palace saying that the hearse of this "palace concubine" would be transported out of the small gate of the palace wall. Lu Yijian was on fire, and directly asked to meet the Queen Mother, and we will have an interview! Liu E refused again. sent a personal eunuch, it was Luo Chongxun who drove Cao Yong to kill them all. Go and ask Lu Yijian: What do you want to do?

Lu Yijian's requirements are very simple: a great gift, a mercury coffin, and a hearse must go to Xihua Gate! Otherwise, no more promises!

Liu E was very disappointed, this is the "cronies" she picked up with her own hands... She sent Luo Chongxun to pass the word again, "I didn't expect you to be like this"

Lu Yijian replied, "The prime minister, the major affairs of the court, should be disputed by the court." The queen mother will not allow it, and the ministers will not retreat."

Lu Yi is stubborn, and Liu E is even more ruthless. You don't retreat? I don't even say yes! As a result, Eunuch Luo ran back and forth 3 times, and the two top bigwigs of the Great Song Dynasty just couldn't get along. At this time, Lu Yijian was faced with a choice: give up? Or stay the course? If you want to do it, you will do it to the end! Prime Minister Lu decided to throw out the most important secret, and we made everything clear and said, "Concubine Chen gave birth to a holy bow." And the funeral is not a ceremony. There will be people who will suffer from it on another day, it is impossible to say that Yi Jian does not say anything today", this is the original words of Lu Yijian back then, "Birth and Holy Bow", which said that the emperor "Concubine Chen" was born, and that was the "concubine in the palace" who died. The implication is that this Concubine Li Chen is the mother of the current emperor Zhao Zhen!

This relates to a court secretion from 23 years ago. That is, the folk wild history of the 'tanuki for the prince', of course, the tanuki is absolutely none, and there is nothing to do with the Qingtian Bao adult. The current Kaifeng Mansion Yin is Cheng Lin, and Lord Bao will not meditate in Kaifeng Mansion until 24 years later. But after this Li Niangniang gave birth to her son, she was indeed taken away by Liu E immediately. For more than 20 years, this Li Niangniang has not been able to get close to her biological son, the current emperor Zhao Zhen by half a step, and her position has always been only "Shunrong" and the concubine is 108,000 miles away. She enjoyed the name of "Concubine Chen" for absolutely no more than 24 hours. Plainly. It's a parting gift.

But now there's a question: Is this really secret? If it is secret, then why did the Li family just die in the palace, and Lu Yijian outside the palace immediately knew the truth? And you must know that Lu Dao: Lu Yijian is not his uncle Lu Mengzheng. His new prime minister should not have so much eyeliner in the palace. And even if there is. This kind of super heavyweight secrecy, don't want to spread it. But Lu Yijian just did it! The first prime minister of the Injong dynasty was different from the beginning! Wealth and danger are sought, and what everyone dares not touch is hidden in the glory that everyone desires! The reason why Lu Yijian was able to become Lu Yijian. There was no fluke.

But at this time, Prime Minister Lu also had to scratch his head for the villain: the great eunuch Luo Chongxun! He estimated that he really regarded the 66-year-old Liu E as Wu Zetian? Do you really think that Liu E can ascend the throne at the age of 67 and die at the age of 82 like Wu Zetian?

That's why he forced Lu Yijian to tear his face and say, "There will be people who will suffer from it on a different day", and the next day is the day when Zhao Zhen is in power. Liu E must have died at that time. Who suffers? It's you Luo Chongxun! This sentence took effect immediately, and Luo Chongxun hurried back to the palace. This time it didn't take long, and the Queen Mother's decree came out - everything was done according to the Prime Minister's wishes!

Lu Yijian let out a long sigh - it was finally done. It seems that it is not easy for men and women to communicate with each other, and it takes a super excellent semiconductor to make it!

So, the Li family entered the funeral in the clothes of the queen mother, the coffin was filled with mercury, and the hearse came out of the Xihua Gate. The emperor and the queen mother mourned together. Posthumously seal the three generations of the Li family, drop out of the dynasty for the 3rd, and sacrifice the whole world!

During this period, the Imperial Prime Minister Lu Yijian was the one who really came out. The reason is that the emperor is too 'small' and he will not be involved in this matter in any way. Empress Dowager Liu won't really go to participate (her own rival?). Maid? Partners? funeral. So everyone looked at Prime Minister Lu with respect, dignified and solemn, and presided over the funeral ceremony with a sincere face, sending the real queen mother away. Admire! But Lu Yijian knew in his heart: The glory and wealth of the rest of his life have been determined!

Here, Zhao Zhen died of his own mother; Over there, Yelu Zongzhen died his adoptive mother.

In the spring of this year, Liao Xingzong went out hunting, and his biological mother Xiao Yunjin immediately sent someone to Shangjing, without going through any procedures, and directly killed the opponent! Everything is that Brother Xiao Bodhisattva is too benevolent, and Xiao Yunjin is too tyrannical. In the 14 years that the Holy Sect was not dead and the Xingzong was not established, how many chances did she have to do Xiao Yunjin? When the interruption continues, Xiao Yunjin doesn't admit her love at all, as long as she turns her back, she will immediately cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

The history of Liao recorded the end of Xiao Bodhisattva, the empress dowager of Qi. When the envoy arrived that day, the Queen Mother did not beg for mercy, let alone scold, she said calmly, "I am really innocent, and the world knows it." Let me bathe. Then he died, but "the secret envoy was silent, bowed and withdrew. After entering again, 50-year-old Xiao Bodhisattva had hanged himself. Yelu Zongzhen lost his adoptive mother in this way. But he soon found out that he had never gotten a biological mother at all.

Xiao Yunjin completely set up Yelu Zongzhen, and helped his mother's brothers to the important position of the Liao State one by one, and then made a lot of money, and the way was to sell the official.

This maid-turned-woman proves with practical actions what shallowness and narrow-mindedness are. Since then, the court of the Liao king has become a vegetable market, and whoever has money is an official, and everything has a price. But you are the queen mother. What's the use of asking for money?

Land, army, stability of the country, these are the wealth of the supreme ruler! It's a pity that Xiao Yanyan, who was born in the aristocracy, understands these, but the maid who has been suppressed for a long time doesn't understand. Xiao Yunjin only recognized the official position and cash in front of him, except for these two, everything was fake!

66-year-olds survived 46-year-olds, and the difference can only lie in their mood. One is located at the top of the world, calling for wind and rain as you like. The other is lonely and lonely, silently accompanying her dead husband. No matter how stupidly he stares at the son who is far away from the countless palace walls... What kind of life was that? So Concubine Li Chen died 13 months ago in Liu E, so what is Liu E's mood now? In order to verify his power index, on July 22, Liu E carried out a reorganized reform of the North Korean Bureau. A functional department was added, called the Governor's Yuan.

This department existed before, and was a product of the era of Liu E's father-in-law, Zhao Guangyi, and was later merged into the Dongfu Prime Minister's Group. At this time, Liu E suppressed the endless actions of the ministers to find faults. Decided to do it once and for all. Completely dismember your right to write and speak, turn the province into a governor's house, and make it the counterpart of the head of the official Yushitai. And then see what you guys do? One power and two mansions, let's kill yourself!

Later history proved that the establishment of the Counsellor was a pure mistake. On the surface, let everyone in the world see that the courtiers of the Song Dynasty were more free of speech and had no scruples, which was really a paradise for literati. But later, there were too many people who spoke, and each had its own system, and a group of high-spirited speech officials did not have to look for external enemies, but fought to the death within the system... As a result, the party struggle of the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of the Han Dynasty and the Niu Li of the Tang Dynasty, and it became a nightmare for the kings alongside the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty...

On August 7, Yelu Hongji, the eldest son of Yelu Zong and the future Liao Dao Sect, was born.

Cutting off the love of the dearest mother and child in the world will surely be retributed. Heaven is good, Liu E's bad luck is coming soon. On August 23, a fire broke out in the inner courtyard of the Song Dynasty palace. Directly from the top priority of the Ouchi - the dormitory burned, the raging flames instantly swallowed Liu E and Zhao Zhen's residences. Thanks to the timely discovery of a little eunuch named Wang Shougui, he helped their mother and son from the back door of the dormitory to the back garden, and then hid in Yanfu Palace the next day, and survived.

When the day dawned, let's take a look: a piece of charcoal, full of ashes, and not a single tile remains. Chongde, Changchun, Zifu, Huiqing, Chonghui, Tianhe, Chengming, Yanqing 8 halls, all burned into a white ground. Even the treasure of Zhao Zhen's mandate when he ascended the throne was burned.

Early in the morning, hundreds of officials gathered at the palace gate to inquire about the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. At this time, Zhao Zhen appeared on the palace wall, and the yellow figure under the cover of the Huang Luo umbrella just flashed, and the hundred officials immediately kowtowed to salute, but Lu Yijian, the head of the hundred officials, stood upright and did not kneel, staring directly at the emperor on the palace wall, until Zhao Zhen sent someone down to ask him what he was doing?

Lu Yijian replied: Last night's fire, the minister was very worried. It's too far away now, can you get closer and let us see clearly?

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed: My prime minister is worthy of the surname Lu, just like Lu Duan, who put my father on the throne, he will never be confused about major events! Come on, let's go down and let him see clearly!

When the monarch and the ministers met, Lu Yijian knelt down and bowed to Ruyi, congratulating His Majesty on the well-being of the Holy Body. The first minister of the Renzong Dynasty not only added the weight of victory to his future, but also let the emperor see how unique he was in the current reality... Perhaps he was the only one who benefited from this disaster.

On the 25th, Prime Minister Lu Yijian and Privy Deputy Envoy Yang Chongxun were appointed as the main and deputy envoys to rebuild the Ouchi, and the construction was carried out as soon as possible to rebuild the Imperial Palace! On the 26th, the edict was issued to the ministers to speak bluntly. On the 28th, amnesty was granted to the world. At the same time, the cause of the fire was traced... But almost none of these things satisfied the elderly Empress Dowager Liu.

Let's start with tracking down the murderer. The eunuchs in the palace were collectively responsible, digging hard and cracking down, and finally identified the suspect: a "sewing man" who did needlework so he twisted this person to the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion to be punished, but the depressed thing was that Mr. Yin Chenglin of Kaifeng Mansion did not provide any guillotine that day... He said that Kaifeng Mansion is a trial, not a man! Now I'm going to judge! So be it! You first draw me a road map of the fire that night.

The picture came out, and the problem was clear, pointing directly to a certain stove in the harem and a wall adjacent to it. It was it that set it on fire, and then it set the whole palace on fire. As for the initial reason, Cheng Lin's explanation is that "it has been dry for a long time, this natural disaster, don't sinner" There is nothing to do with this tailor, hurry up and let me go!

Liu E was a little dazed. Natural disasters, no one can hold God responsible. But Cheng Lin couldn't accept it when she said this, the gap was too big! Not long ago, this person also presented her with "The Picture of the Martial Empress Linchao" and asked her to be Wu Zetian. It's a pity that the timing is not right, so she half-truthfully threw the picture to the ground, and said the touching daughter-in-law's declaration "I swear not to do this ancestral thing", but Cheng Lin's loyalty, she remembered it, and gradually became a confidant, but today she actually came to dismantle her platform in public!

Let's talk about the ministers' words and deeds. Teng Zongliang and Liu Yue linked the problem to the national fortune and virtue of the Song Dynasty: Queen Mother, do you know that our Great Song Dynasty is based on 'fire virtue', right? Now that the fire has perverted and burned itself, the root of the disease lies in you! As long as you remove the curtain as soon as possible and return the power to the emperor, everything will be safe...

The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty separated the time period and kept the rhythm of writing, so that the Queen Mother could always hear the call for returning to power. According to the history books, Liu E panicked, and privately found Li Zunmian, the envoy of the Ning State Army and the commander of the horses, and quietly asked "How is the foreign discussion?" Li Suma muttered for a long time and said, "The minister has nothing else to hear." But people say that the Son of Heaven is the crown, and the Queen Mother should return to power in time" In the final analysis, no matter what, she is going to return to power...

Really, this is also another congenital sorrow of Liu E, who lost her first hand to be the empress. 342 years ago, Wu Zetian behaved so violently that all men after that were worried and determined not to let history repeat itself! After the worst, Liu E became discouraged, which step counts as which step, and no longer forced... I only have 7 months left in my life, and your 'son' has grown up. I'll send you these Confucian classics about filial piety, "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Analects", "Only the Emperor's Precepts and Virtues", "Emperor Fan", you can read them... (To be continued......)
