"Emperor, are you dissatisfied with your mother?" Zhou Guiren saw that Zhu Jianshen was not facing him, and he was very angry in his heart.

"Mother is not that her son is not facing you, but before my father died, I was also by his side, and my father personally told his son, no matter what he died, let his son and son must respect Queen Qian as the queen mother."

"Then do you mean that if you want to respect Queen Qian as the queen mother, you don't have to respect the palace? How can a son of his own become an emperor, but a mother doesn't even have the title of a queen? Zhou Guiren heard the words and reprimanded angrily.

Zhu Jianshen saw that Zhou Guiren was angry, so he hurriedly took two steps forward, helped her sit down and said: "That's not it, Erchen didn't mean that, but you can't only respect your mother as the queen mother, but not the queen Qian!" The so-called queen mother, to first set up a mother and then a biological mother, Queen Qian is the mother of a country, if the son does not establish the former queen, no matter what, it can't be said. Mother, you still have to accept the fact that the two houses are respected. ”

"Hmph, let me accept the fact that the two palaces are respected together, when your father was alive, I would be angry with Queen Qian, is it that now that your father has died, and my son has become the emperor, I still have to be angry with Queen Qian?"

"Mother, the son doesn't mean this, it's just that you want to be sad about the death of your father now, Queen Qian is sad day and night about the death of her father, and you don't ask the facts, but you are planning for yourself to fight for power, the ministers are already holding their anger on you, and now you are embarrassed by Queen Qian in the matter of the Queen Mother, how can the ministers be willing to give up with their son."

"Hmph, now that you are the emperor, what you say is a holy decree, and if a courtier refuses to obey, let him go to his hometown to farm." Zhou Guiren said angrily.

"That's not the case, although the son is now the emperor, but the son has only succeeded to the throne for a few days, the desire of the court is very important, does the mother want her son to distinguish between right and wrong, and thus lose the trust of the courtiers?"

"Do you want your mother to accept the fact that the two palaces are respected for the sake of a few courtiers?"

"Mother, think about it, if you refuse to accept the fact that the two palaces are respected, let alone the courtiers, even the eldest princess, she will not give up."

"Hmph, the eldest princess, what is the eldest princess, she is the eldest princess if she is called her, if you don't call her, she is just a princess of the previous dynasty, is the princess more powerful than the queen mother? Is the princess more powerful than the emperor? Zhou Guiren sneered.

"That's not the case, the queen mother, you know, why when my father was alive, he respected the eldest princess very much, there are many princesses in the palace, but only the eldest princess is the only one, do you know why?"

Zhou Guiren was slightly stunned, she didn't know much about this matter.

Zhu Jianshen said slowly: "In fact, as early as the Xuanzong Dynasty, the eldest princess has helped Emperor Xuande to govern the government, if there is no help from the eldest princess, and Xuande will be loyal, and then the eldest princess lived in seclusion in Jiangnan without asking the facts, and was anxious to know that Yu Qian was killed, so she returned from Jiangnan again, why would her father respect the eldest princess so much?" Is it just because the eldest princess is an elder? ”

"It's not because she's an elder, why is that?" Zhou Guiren asked rhetorically.

Zhu Jianshen stared at Zhou Guiren and said word by word: "It's not just because her identity is the eldest princess, but because she is a powerful figure, she not only holds the famous candle shadow shaking red in her hands, and the confession door. He also made friends with some old ministers in the past, and many courtiers in the current court, such as Li Xian and Peng Shi. Li Xian and Peng Shi may not listen to me, but they will definitely listen to the words of the eldest princess, and the power of the eldest princess's confession door and the red candle shadow may not be able to resist even the royal forest army! ”

Zhou Guiren couldn't help but gasp when she heard Zhu Jianshen say this, but she always felt that what Zhu Jianshen said was too exaggerated, isn't Jian Huaizhen just a princess? Where did so much power come from?

Zhou Guiren was a little unconvinced, and moved to say: "Shen'er, if you don't want to call this palace the queen mother, you don't have to make up so many reasons to deceive this palace."

"Mother, this difference in words, how dare the sons deceive their mothers, mothers can think about it, when the sons were taken away, the father tried his best, but he could not rescue the sons, in the end, who rescued the sons, not the princess, not the candle shadow and the people who confessed, the power of the princess is all over the world, if she helps others, then this country must not be the son's." Zhu Jianshen said solemnly.

Zhou Guiren saw Zhu Jianshen's serious face, and then realized the seriousness of the matter, she thought for a while, and sowed discord and said: "Since the eldest princess is such a dangerous figure, then the emperor is really mediocre, he actually allowed her to live, and he still respectfully called her the eldest princess, son, you can't be so confused, such a person is by your side, how can you sit steadily, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore, son, the first thing you do after you ascend the throne is to eradicate the power of the eldest princess." ”

Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly: "What my mother said, do you think that my father really didn't think about it?" When his father was on the throne, there was a period of time when he was not on good terms with the eldest princess, and that was because of Yu Qian's death, but then why was his father able to live in harmony with the eldest princess. ”

"Why," Zhou Guiren asked.

Zhu Jianshen said slowly: "Things are actually very simple, first, the eldest princess is also the princess of the Ming Dynasty, and she has the blood of our Zhu family, of course she doesn't want our Ming dynasty to fall into the hands of others, so she has no objection to the Ming Dynasty, but wholeheartedly helps her father, this is one of them." Second: The eldest princess holds a lot of power, and her father is inevitably afraid of her, so when her father does something wrong, the solemn princess can mention her father one or two on the side, so that the father can correct his mistakes and be a good emperor, isn't this a good thing for his father? That's not a good thing for me. Therefore, the first thing Erchen did after ascending the throne was definitely not to eradicate the power of the eldest princess, but to find out Erchen's own shortcomings and be a good emperor. Mother, are you right? ”

Zhou Guiren was stunned when she said that Zhu Jianshen said this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, but she knew that Zhu Jianshen had already eaten the scales, and she wanted to call Queen Qian the queen mother, and she had to accept it.

After Zhu Jianshen negotiated with Zhou Guiren, he discussed with the ministers on the second day of the court, and set up the two palaces of the queen mother.

Zhu Jianshen had obviously negotiated with Zhou Guiren yesterday, but she didn't expect her to suddenly kill again today, so she felt very strange, so she asked: "Mother, this is the court, and it is the place where the ministers argue, why are you not in the harem, but suddenly come to the court?" ”

Zhou Guiren raised his eyebrows and said, "Emperor, this palace suddenly came to this court, of course there is something important, don't you even welcome your own mother?" ”

Zhu Jianshen was very faceless by Zhou Guiren, but he didn't know how to answer, and the ministers were talking even more fiercely at this moment.

Zhou Guiren completely ignored the existence of the ministers, she waved her hand first, and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet first, this palace has something to say."

The ministers respected that Zhou Guiren was always the emperor's biological mother, so they all kept silent and listened to what Zhou Guiren said.

Zhou Guiren said shamefully: "Yesterday, the emperor talked to the palace about the establishment of the queen mother of the two palaces, and after thinking about it, I felt that although Queen Qian was disabled, blind and lame, she was really not suitable to be the queen mother. But the palace took pity on her very much, so he decided to agree with the emperor's opinion, and let her live the queen mother's addiction. ”

Everyone felt very unacceptable when they saw that Zhou Guiren was frivolous and his words were very inappropriate.

Zhou Guiren still said: "It's just that the palace agrees to set up two palaces, and the queen mother is also conditional, that is, to add the emblem in front of the queen mother of the palace." ”

"What, to add a emblem in front of the title of the queen mother of the emperor's biological mother, how is this possible, throughout the ages, only in front of the emperor's mother, the queen mother, how can it be possible to add the emblem in front of the emperor's biological mother, the queen mother?"

The ministers suddenly exploded, and there were many discussions, and there was nothing to say for a while, and the courtiers led by Li Xian and Peng Shi were very opposed to Zhou Guiren's statement.

Zhou Guiren didn't expect that his majesty would be greatly discounted in this court, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

She simply sprinkled it, sat down on the chair next to the emperor, cried and shouted, "This palace is a newly mourned widow, the emperor has just died, you are bullying my orphans and widows here, and even the emblem of the queen mother is not allowed to be on the palace, isn't it clear that you can't get along with the emperor, and you can't get along with the palace." ”

Li Xian stood up and said righteously: "The difference between Zhou Guiren's words, the Empress Dowager is to add a emblem in front of her to show her honorific title, but she wants to add an honorific title in front of Empress Qian's title, not you." Although you are the emperor's biological mother, you have never been the wife of the emperor's concubine. The first emperor was newly mourned, and Queen Qian was grief-stricken. She was speechless for the death of the first emperor, she couldn't speak for the days and nights of grief, couldn't eat day and night, and couldn't sleep at night, but Zhou Guiren, you only fought for power and profit for yourself, don't you think it's a bit excessive? ”

As soon as Li Xian's words came out, Zhou Gui jumped out of the chair angrily, and slapped the case a few times: "Li Xian, what kind of thing are you, who do you think you are, you dare to talk nonsense in front of this palace." ”

Li Xian took a step forward, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Li Xian is not anyone, Li Xian is a minister ordered by the emperor to take care of his life, and he is a courtier who works for the imperial court. Now the establishment of the queen mother of the two palaces is a serious matter, in Li Xian's view, Zhou nobles should not listen to politics in this court, otherwise they will commit the big crime of not interfering in the harem. ”

As soon as Zhou Guiren heard this, he was angry, this Li Xian was really bold, and he dared to charge himself with such a big crime, it was too much, thinking of this, tears immediately flowed down, turned his face, and looked at Zhu Jianshen, "Emperor, you have to be the master of your mother, look at your mother, what it looks like to be bullied in front of your courtiers." ”

Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhou Guiren spilling, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and wanted to find a way to drive Zhou Guiren down, but he was afraid of hurting his mother's heart, but he didn't rush down. What Zhou Guiren did really made him lose face as an emperor, and he was in a dilemma, when suddenly the eunuch preached: "The eldest princess has arrived." ”

As soon as the ministers heard that Jian Huaizhen was coming, they automatically stood on both sides, leaving a way for Jian Huaizhen to enter the court, Zhou Guiren saw Jian Huaizhen, and he didn't put it in his eyes as usual, after all, she was herself, the identity of the emperor's biological mother, and felt that this time was different, she glanced at Jian Huaizhen, and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, didn't your courtier Li Xian say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?" But I don't know why the eldest princess is in this court? ”

Jian Huaizhen glanced at Zhou Guiren coldly, and said with a smile: "Why did you appear above this court, why did this palace appear on this court, you came first in this court, and if you want to punish the crime, you will first cure the sins of Zhou Guiren, not to mention that Zhou Guiren doesn't know?" Emperor Xuanzong once gave the palace a golden zhang, this golden zhang can beat the unconscious king, the lower to beat the ministers, and can bend the harem at will, the concubines who have made mistakes, you don't know about this, right? ”

Although the affairs of Xuanzong and the dynasty are very far away, there are many old ministers of several dynasties in the court, Xuanzong once gave Jian Huaizhen a golden and jade scepter, and everyone knows that although Jian Huaizhen has this golden jade scepter, he never takes it out to show off.

Now seeing her mention it, a few old ministers took a few steps forward and said to Zhou Guiren: "Zhou Guiren, the eldest princess does have such a golden and jade staff, which was given by Emperor Xuande.

When Zhou Guiren heard the ministers say this, he hated her and took a few steps back, and then asked Zhu Jianshen and said, "Your Majesty, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhu Jianshen had also heard from Zhu Qizhen's mouth that Jian Huaizhen did have a golden jade scepter, because he had never seen it, because Jian Huaizhen had never taken it out, but despite this, this golden jade scepter was real, so there should be nothing wrong, so he nodded and said to Zhou Guiren: "There is indeed such a thing." ”

Zhou Guiren suddenly quieted down, sat on the chair, and didn't say a word, she didn't want to be beaten by Jian Huaizhen with a golden and jade staff in the court, wouldn't it be a laugh off the big teeth of the world's people when it was passed out, although Zhou Guiren did things without regard for face, in fact, he still had his own set of ideas in his heart.

Jian Huaizhen glanced at Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen was about to say something, but Jian Huaizhen waved his hand to stop him, she said: "I heard that the nobles of Zhou came to this court to find a gap and go around the matter, so that the emperor could add a badge in front of the queen mother, but there is such a thing. ”

Zhu Jianshen's face showed a helpless look, and he smiled bitterly: "Exactly." ”
