Chapter 1153: The emperor doesn't care about himself, but he will remember the queen
The fourth master who listened to it rarely put away his serious expression and smiled heartily.
Whoever becomes an emperor is happy to hear such news, such words.
Especially the fourth master.
When he first ascended the throne, he was full of difficulties.
All kinds of bad negative news such as overbearing succession, fratricide, and unfilial piety filled him with all kinds of bad news.
As a result, the court and the people, there are a large number of people who do not support him.
It can be said that this sentence is the only positive praise he has heard since he ascended the throne.
Moreover, it is real and does not mix with any moisture.
This made him feel that the efforts he had made since he ascended the throne were worth it.
At the same time, my heart is full of a sense of accomplishment!
However, seeing the harmony between the monarch and the minister in the court.
Suddenly, a speaker stepped forward and admonished: "Your Majesty, not long after you ascended the throne, the Qing Dynasty has indeed entered a new normality, which is a good thing and an honor for the Qing Dynasty." ”
Speech officials, also known as counselors.
They were mainly responsible for admonishing the emperor, leaving and right the way of speech, impeaching hundreds of officials, and inspecting the localities.
The power of the speech official is relatively large.
Sometimes the emperor is helpless.
Those who are selected as speech officials have quite high requirements for personal qualities.
First of all, if you don't love wealth and wealth, you will forget your country and your home, and you will be loyal and forget your body.
Secondly, we must be upright and upright, straightforward and outspoken, without suffering from gains and losses, and love and solidity.
Thirdly, he has outstanding knowledge and ability, not only is he familiar with all aspects of the government affairs of the imperial court, he has insight into the dynamics of advantages and disadvantages, but also can be knowledgeable about the past and the present, and draw on prehistory.
In addition, you must also have a certain career experience and be steady.
There are also specific requirements for age, origin, and the ability to write and argue.
In short, the official must have excellent qualities such as impartiality and truthfulness, good at distinguishing between right and wrong, daring to argue about right and wrong, diligent and honest, and his conduct, talent, and general understanding are indispensable.
Only such a person dares to risk death to admonish and impeach.
And when a speaker speaks, even if he says nice things at the beginning, he still has to admonish in the end.
Sure enough, I only heard the official continue: "However, while the emperor governs the country and the previous dynasty, the harem must also be a bowl of water, and the concubines and concubines of the six palaces are all your women, only when the rain and dew are evenly wet, the six palaces will be peaceful, which is also conducive to the continuation of the emperor's heir." But if you spoil one of them, it will cause the concubines next to you to become jealous. And the harem and the former dynasty have an intertwined relationship, so that the former dynasty and the harem will not be at peace, it is really not the Ming Jun's doing! ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally harmonious and beautiful atmosphere was instantly broken.
The huge Taihe Hall was suddenly terrifyingly quiet.
The fourth master, who was laughing heartily, immediately turned his gaze into a sharp sword piercing the other party after hearing these words, which made people shudder.
He stared at the official who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "According to your meaning, I am a faint king?" ”
"I don't dare." The speaker bowed to the ground.
"Why don't you tell me, who do I favor?"
After pondering for a while, the official replied bluntly: "The queen mother." ”
And, when he answered, he raised his head and put his neck on it.
He looks like he is not afraid of death and is loyal to his advice.
"How did I favor the queen?"
"In the past two months, you have neither gone to the harem concubines, nor have you turned over the signs of the concubines, only turned over the brand of the queen's mother, and summoned her to the palace of nourishing the heart alone, so as to favor the queen's mother."
The fourth master chuckled lightly, and his tone was indifferent: "What if I keep going like this." ”
His words and deeds are always faint, and he can't see emotions.
But it still makes people smell a trace of horror.
I saw that the official bowed his head lowly, "The minister believes that you must be a Ming monarch who will lead the Qing Dynasty to a more brilliant peak!" ”
Thinking about it, no matter how loyal and not afraid of death is, no matter how loyal he is, he doesn't dare to just say the bad and not the good.
Otherwise, I don't know how many times I've died.
Seeing that the style of his words was wrong, this official naturally hurriedly said something good, so as to appease the fourth master who was already angry.
At the same time, the rest of the officials also admonished one after another, which meant to help their colleagues share the pressure.
"Your Majesty, you can pamper the queen's mother, but you can't ignore the harem concubines."
"Yes, the emperor, according to what Weichen saw, women serve the monarch, always on the left and right, close all day long, difficult to control their thoughts, easy to confuse the monarch. It is difficult to restrain one's body and is easy to be arrogant. Although the queen mother is the middle palace lady, she must also follow the etiquette law, abide by morality, lead other concubines and subordinates, love and harmony, and make the six palaces peaceful, instead of not knowing how to persuade and take the emperor for herself. ”
It is even said in the internal training that a woman should get up early and go to bed late, and it is her duty to respect the monarch. Clothing and diet are frugal but not luxurious, speak mildly and tactfully, in line with etiquette, and be strict with gluttonous words, not to listen. Evil deeds must be rigorous and must not be done. ”
"Nor can we rely on the monarch's favor to interfere in political affairs and disturb the law. If you rely on grace, you will be arrogant and jealous, interfere with politics and law, and cause trouble. ”
"As the proverb goes, a person falls into the water and cannot get out because he is trapped in the sludge in the water. The decline of the family and its failure to flourish is due to the fact that there is a jealous wife in the family. It is a blessing for a woman not to be arrogant or jealous, for she and her family. ”
The Book of Poetry also says: Taiji is not jealous, and treats all concubines and maids with generosity and benevolence, so all concubines admire and obey her. As a concubine, they are all ordered by the monarch, and they should be content with their own status and status, and they should not think about it. ”
"In the past, King Xuan of Zhou got up late because he had sex with his concubine, and Empress Jiang took off her earrings and knelt between Yongxiang to plead guilty, blaming herself for not teaching her concubine well, which caused the king to get up late and abandon political affairs. King Xuan respectfully treated Empress Jiang and thanked her, and from then on he did not dare to slack off and waste political affairs. “
"Emperor Han Cheng traveled to the back garden and wanted to sit in the same car with Ban Jieyu. Ban Jieyu knelt on the ground and played: "Look at the ancient sages and kings, they are all with famous ministers. At the end of the country, he was in the same car with his concubine. The emperor is going to be in the same car with me now, isn't it better to compare it to those absurd masters? ”
"Empress Jiang and Ban Ji are both deeply aware of the way of serving the monarch and keeping to themselves. On the other hand, our queen mother, not only did not persuade you, but also often sat in the same dragon chariot with you. ”
"Our Qing Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, and it is all the foundation laid down by our ancestors. Especially Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, who cultivated and assisted the three emperors all her life, she was quiet and decisive in dealing with things, and she set an example, was strict with herself, did not control the government, and retreated to the background as soon as the emperor was in power. Guarding the Aixin Jueluo regime from major risks and reefs, it was the other side of the Qing Dynasty to reach its prosperity. ”
"Looking at ancient history, the prosperity of a country must have a virtuous concubine as an internal helper; The destruction of a kingdom must be caused by the immorality and deviance of the harem and the confusion of the monarch. The same is true of the success or failure of a family, please be cautious to the emperor!"
