Chapter 400: Tips
After discussing all the details with the regent in the imperial study, it was already dark when Zixi returned to the dormitory.
Qiu Yan ordered someone to prepare dinner, and Zixi suddenly felt lonely in front of the table full of meals.
Thinking that he had been dining with Chu Chen for the past few months, he was really a little unaccustomed to being alone now.
After eating a little hastily, Zixi decided to meet his father and mother.
Since the death of the royal brother three years ago, the queen mother has been hit and almost caused a mental breakdown. However, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were panicked because of the loss of the prince, and when the queen was sad, they vigorously persuaded their father to fill the harem and give birth to an heir.
The father was unbearable, and directly announced his abdication to Zixi, and since then he has not seen anyone in the palace with the queen.
In the half month before Zixi ascended the throne, the ministers could not kneel outside the palace where their father moved to live, and even a few old ministers died by hitting the pillars, but they could not change their father's determination.
Later, there was heavy pressure from the regent, which calmed the courtiers' out-of-control emotions.
For more than a year, the ministers have long accepted the fact that there is an empress in Tanglin, and even accepted that the empress supported the young Feng Weiyu as the prime minister when she first ascended the throne - no matter how unruly this is, the courtiers did not dissuade it too much.
After all, Feng Weiyu's talent and ability are obvious to all, and there is no doubt about it.
And they knew in their hearts that the empress was dissatisfied with the regent, so they supported the prime minister to compete with it.
Of course, there are many ministers who may also be secretly looking forward to it, if the empress messes up the supergang, only cares about the personal feelings of her children and ignores the society of the country, and finally makes Tanglin a mess.
In this way, the Emperor Taishang can be forced to set up a new emperor - even if he does not have a lineage, he can inherit an heir of the clan, at least a man.
Zixi hadn't spied on the courtiers' minds much before, but after calming down in the past few days, he slowly figured it out.
But it doesn't matter.
She will soon prove with facts that all their expectations will be disappointed.
Tanglin and even the Lingguo with a complete territory in the future, at least while she is alive, will be an era when the female emperor will rule, and the courtiers must accept it.
The Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager lived in the Imperial Palace in the northeast corner of the Imperial Palace, which was a forbidden place for both the people serving in the palace and the ministers of civil and military affairs.
Except for a few people who were waiting on the daily necessities, no one could go in and disturb them.
There is not even a need for meals in the imperial dining room, because there are special imperial chefs here to serve the emperor and the queen mother, and most of the dishes are light vegetarian dishes, and occasionally improve the taste before getting a little meaty.
Two of the guards who guarded the palace were from the Xuanyin Guard, so it wasn't a problem to protect the place from being disturbed.
Zixi only brought Qiu Yan over, and when he arrived at the palace gate, the guards saluted respectfully.
"I'll come to see my father and mother, and I'll take the trouble to go in and report it."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor knows that His Majesty will come over in the next few days, so he ordered his subordinates to hand this over to Your Majesty." A Xuanyin guard swept out, bowed down and stood in front of Zixi, and presented an object with both hands, "The Emperor Taishang has ordered, no one will be seen, please forgive your majesty." ”
This hermit guard is over forty years old, and he is his father's personal guard, and he has been by his side since his father's ascension to the throne, and he has been his father's secret guard all his life.
If the father dies, the personal guard will be martyred.
This is the rule of the Xuan Yin Guard.
Zixi frowned slightly, staring at the object in the guard's hand.
A bright yellow bag.
Zixi stretched out his hand to take it and said lightly: "What else did my father say?" ”。
"Back to Your Majesty, nothing else." Yin Wei said, "Everything the master wants to say is in this bag. ”
