"Add, of course it should be added, the queen mother added honorific titles in front, this is something that has been done throughout the ages, and there is nothing excessive about Zhou Guiren's request, Jian Huaizhen said. No

As soon as Jian Huaizhen said this, the ministers were very surprised, they didn't expect that she would say such a thing, but Zhou Guiren listened to it, and felt incredible on the one hand, and felt unlucky on the other.

Unexpectedly, Jian Huaizhen actually helped herself, could it be that she saw that the first emperor died and her son ascended the throne as the emperor, so she tended to be inflammatory, and instead of helping Queen Qian, she threw herself on her side.

Zhou Guiren couldn't help but be full of joy, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess said this well, how can the queen mother not add a emblem in front of her?" ”

"Yes, the queen mother's title is to add a emblem in front of it, but this emblem is not added in front of the queen mother, but in front of the emblem of the queen mother. The emperor and the ministers agreed that they should be called the queen mother of the two palaces, then Zhou Guiren is the biological mother of the queen mother, and Queen Qian is the queen mother. Throughout the ages, the emblem has been added to the mother-in-law, but I have never heard of it being added in front of the emperor's biological mother.

Only then did Zhou Guiren understand that it turned out that Jian Huaizhen was selling this kind of medicine in the gourd, and she had long expected that Jian Huaizhen had not been so easy to get along with. Sure enough, it's good.

She didn't want the emperor to add a badge to herself at all, what she wanted was to add a badge to Queen Qian, which made Zhou Guiren embarrassed, how could she bear it? She wanted to jump out and reason with Jian Huaizhen, but she was a little jealous of the golden jade scepter in her hand, although no one had ever seen the golden jade scepter, but Jian Huaizhen, if she really took it out and beat herself, no one could stop it, whether it was the emperor or the ministers.

Jian Huaizhen continued to speak: "This is one of the ancestral rites, and you don't have to be a descendant. Therefore, adding an honorific title to Queen Qian is also in accordance with the rules of the ancestors; Second, Queen Qian and the former emperor had a very strong relationship, and the palace believed that the emperor and all the ministers knew that after the death of the first emperor, Queen Qian washed her face with tears all day long, hated to follow the first emperor, and was silent day and night in great sadness, unable to extricate herself. Queen Qian's affection for the former emperor, we can all see it clearly, the first emperor and Queen Qian are married husband and wife, in the heavens are willing to be winged birds, in the earth is willing to be Lian Li Zhi, this sentiment and this righteousness, really make the world moved, such a good queen, do not add the emblem before her title, how can you be worthy of the dead emperor, the emperor, are you right? Jian Huaizhen looked up and asked.

Zhu Jianshen was a little helpless, glanced at Zhou Guiren, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, and then glanced at Jian Huaizhen, and said, "What the eldest princess said is extremely true. ”

Zhou Guiren didn't expect that his son would stand on Jian Huaizhen's side and the ministers so quickly, isolating herself, which made her feel very annoyed in her heart, she was angry, silent, and listened to Jian Huaizhen continue.

Sure enough, Jian Huaizhen's words were not finished, she said slowly: "As for the third and most important, when the emperor died of illness in the Qianqing Palace, he left a will, at that time, the palace and the emperor both served in front of the emperor, and the emperor had two main trusts in the first emperor's will, the first is that the main trust palace should take good care of Queen Qian, and the second is that the emperor should treat Queen Qian as a biological mother and respect, do you remember?" ”

Zhu Jianshen's heart suddenly moved, and he said solemnly: I still remember the last will of the emperor. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Okay, since this is the case, the matter is settled, and there is nothing to say, do the emperor and the ministers have any rebuttals?" ”

When Jian Huaizhen asked these words, he didn't even ask Zhou Guiren, Zhou Guiren suddenly felt that he was neglected, and a nameless anger surged up along the dantian, she felt that she was about to explode, when the emperor was alive before, she was suppressed by Queen Qian everywhere, and she was already wronged and could not be arbitrary, now that the emperor is dead, her son is the new emperor, but she still has to suffer Queen Qian's anger, how can she bear this grievance. Despite this, she can also see that the matter has almost become settled, with Jian Huaizhen as the master, and the emperor and the ministers agree, it is estimated that there is no room for change in this matter.

Zhou Guiren decided to use the last trick, that is, to seek death, she got up from the chair, and said to the emperor with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, since you don't care about our mother-son relationship, then the palace will not be able to accompany you to raise you in the future, the emperor, take care of yourself in the future, the palace will go first." After saying that, he stood up and was about to hit the pillar of the court.

Seeing this, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly pulled Zhou Guiren down, and Zhou Guiren cried and cried, and he had to find death and life.

"Alas" Zhu Jian sighed deeply, with an unbearable look in his eyes, he accompanied him and said carefully: "Mother, why are you so troubled, since the matter has become settled, you should accept this fact, when your son discussed with you yesterday, didn't you already agree?" ”

"Yes, yesterday, the palace didn't figure it out, I thought about it all night last night, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't calm down, when my son didn't become the emperor, I succumbed to the remnant concubine, and now my son is the emperor, why don't I even have the right to add a emblem in front of the queen mother, my son was born to me, and I worked hard to raise an adult, do you still have to be filial to others."

The more Zhou Guiren spoke, the more excited he became, and he was about to continue to hit the pillar.

Zhu Jianshen saw that the eunuchs and palace maids were about to be unable to stop Zhou Guiren, and knew that it was not a way to continue like this, in case Zhou Guiren really couldn't think about it and died by touching the pillar, wouldn't he have committed the great crime of killing his mother.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jian Huaizhen with pleading eyes, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest Princess, do you think this matter of honorific title of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces-" Speaking of this, he paused, and then looked at the ministers again.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Jianshen was only eighteen years old, and to put it bluntly, he was just a small child. Although he has experienced a lot of winds and waves, he is also relatively upright, in this matter, he can do this, it is already good, and now he sees his mother looking for death and life, and it is also fateful that he can't bear it for a while.

When the ministers saw that Zhou Guiren was going to commit suicide by hitting the pillar, they all felt very uncomfortable, if Zhou Guiren was just making trouble, it would be fine, in case she really couldn't think about it, then the people in the entire hall would not have become murderers who forced the emperor's biological mother to death.

Jian Huaizhen saw that the emperor and the ministers were panicking, her expression was still calm and calm, her eyes were a little more calm and soft, she glanced at Zhu Jianshen and said, "The emperor's matter will be handled by the palace." She turned around and said to the eunuchs and palace maids who were pulling the Zhou workers: "You all retreat, how can you be presumptuous in this court." ”

Several eunuchs and palace maids saw Jian Huaizhen speaking, and glanced at each other, but they had no choice but to retreat to the back.

Jian Huaizhen smiled at Zhou Guiren and said: "Since the noble lady can't think about it, she wants to find death and life in this court, and leave the emperor with a charge of unfilial piety, then the noble lady can please take care of herself." ”

In fact, Zhou Guiren didn't really want to die, the reason why she did this was just to scare and scare Zhu Jianshen, Jian Huaizhen and the ministers, and force them to give themselves a badge, she saw that Zhu Jianshen and the ministers were already upset and complacent, but she didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to retreat from the eunuchs and palace maids who were pulling her, and let herself hit the pillar.

The anger in her heart didn't come to one place, and she pointed at Jian Huaizhen and said, "The eldest princess, you... You're vicious. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly: "Don't dare, this is compared to scheming, how can this palace be able to match the noble man of last week, in order to get the emblem, even take out the trick of seeking death and life, don't you know that only folk shrews will cry, make trouble and hang themselves, you are a dignified royal nobleman, and you are the queen mother in the future, this kind of trick is taken out, aren't you afraid that it will be spread out and ridiculed and insult the dignity of the royal family." Since you have to seek death, what is the use of others blocking it, you can stop it for a while, but you can't stop it for a lifetime, if you don't want to live, then it's good to look for death. ”

When Zhou Guiren heard Jian Huaizhen say this, his heart suddenly became cold. She was originally scaring everyone with death-seeking, but seeing that this trick was useless, this was her last move, so it seemed that there was no way but to back down, thinking of this, she only felt that her body was weak, and the whole person suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids were busy looking at Jian Huaizhen with the eyes of asking for help, Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly, and the eunuchs and palace maids stepped forward to help Zhou Guiren, and helped Zhou Guiren to the chair again, and Zhou Guiren's matter was finally settled.

Jian Huaizhen's eyes showed a trace of calm and peace, and she said to the eunuchs and palace maids: "Zhou Guiren is tired after a day of trouble here, you help the noble lady back and let her have a good rest, in a few days it will be the ceremony of canonizing the queen mother, but don't lose the royal etiquette." ”

The eunuchs and the little palace maids listened, and hurriedly helped Zhou Guiren up, and were about to go out.

At this moment, Zhou Guiren's heart was really full of mixed feelings, and he couldn't kill Jian Huaizhen immediately, but thinking about it, he had to bow his head under the low eaves. It's not interesting for her to make trouble, even her own son is not facing herself, and the courtiers are not facing herself, what else can she do. So far, I can only accept this fact, the queen mother of the two palaces is respected, Queen Qian is on the emblem, and I can only do it, the queen mother under Queen Qian.

The matter of canonizing the queen mother of the two palaces has finally settled. Empress Qian was named Empress Dowager Ciyi, and the nobles of Zhou were called Empress Dowager Zhou, Empress Qian still lived in the Yongshou Palace, enjoying the music theory in the Yongshou Palace, and the Zhou nobles moved from the palace where they originally lived to the Yanxi Palace. The main palace that has always lived in Yongshuo Palace is the main palace, and the Yanxi Palace is a side hall. In this way, it can be seen that Zhou Guiren is always one level lower than Queen Qian.

Next, it is the matter of Zhu Jianshen canonizing the queen, Zhou Guiren, who has become the queen mother, she wants to canonize the flower and the moon, and the likable Shangyuan Wang is the queen. And Empress Dowager Qian, the Empress Dowager of Ciyi, wanted to canonize the talented and virtuous Shuntian Wu as the queen. For this matter, they quarreled several times, the Empress Dowager Zhou thought that the Wang family was young and likable, very beautiful, in line with the emperor's wishes, the emperor was naturally greedy for beauty when he was young, and the Wang family was so delicate and lovely, of course he could get the emperor's liking.

Queen Qian doesn't think so. Queen Qian believes that the national canonization of the queen is a major event, the queen mother of the world, more virtuous first, from ancient times to the present, there are many deeds of the queen of Zhou Lichun's eldest grandson, etc., which are circulated in history. Only a virtuous queen can become the emperor's virtuous helper, so that the emperor can take care of the affairs of the world without any worries.

In the heart of Empress Dowager Zhou, she didn't want Jian Huaizhen to get involved in this matter. She knew that after Jian Huaizhen had the golden jade staff in her hand, she was a little more jealous of Jian Huaizhen, and she could beat the queen mother and concubine when she entered the jade zhang, beat the minister, and beat the queen mother and concubine, if Jian Huaizhen had any opinions about herself, wouldn't she be able to beat herself unscrupulously, whenever she thought of this Queen Zhou, she felt a chill.

However, Empress Qian insisted on establishing the virtuous and virtuous Shuntian Wu as the queen, which made the Empress Dowager Zhou feel very uncomfortable. First, the Empress Dowager Zhou does like the Wang family more, everyone has a love for beauty, and the Empress Dowager Zhou, a person who pays attention to appearance, is naturally no exception, and the second is that the Empress Dowager Zhou has been very jealous of Queen Qian since the time of the first emperor, and she is very dissatisfied with Queen Qian, and she has been depressed for herself to be subordinate to Queen Qian. Now that Queen Qian has a fancy to the person, she naturally can't like it, who does Queen Qian want to canonize, she wants to do it against Queen Qian.

The two discussed in the Yongshou Palace, and after the discussion was inappropriate, they sent someone to Wan'an Palace to invite Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen was playing chess with Zero Luo at the time when he heard the little eunuch come to summon him. He thought about it for a while and said to Zero, "Zero, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Scattered shook his head, and a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes, "I don't know what the eldest princess thinks in her heart, the eldest princess has always done things unexpectedly, if not, it will not be above the court, let the Empress Dowager Zhou retreat, let the Empress Dowager Ciyi retreat, give up the Empress Dowager Ciyi, and give the Empress Dowager Qian."

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said: "In the past, Zhou Guiren didn't know that I had a golden and jade scepter in my hand, but now that she is the queen mother, she also knows that I have a golden and jade scepter in my hand, and she will still be afraid of me." Despite this, she is the emperor's biological mother, and I can't be courteous to her. And for Queen Qian, in addition to courtesy, there is the emperor's trust, and there is a feeling of pity in my heart. However, whether it is for the Empress Dowager Zhou or the Empress Dowager Qian, I can't show partiality, you know"?

Ling Luo nodded, and said, "The slave understands."

Jian Huaizhen laughed and said, "Then you understand the meaning of this palace?" ”

Scattered always knew what Jian Huaizhen was thinking. She hurriedly stood up and said, "The slave and maid understand, it seems that this matter still needs to be taken by the slave and maid," and after saying that, she stood up and walked towards the Yongshou Palace.

It turned out that the little eunuch came to invite Jian Huaizhen, and the reason why Jian Huaizhen refused to go was because Yongshou Palace was the place of Empress Dowager Qian. If Jian Huaizhen goes to Yongshou Palace and discusses with the queen mother of the two palaces, wouldn't the emperor's canonization make it clear that he is biased towards the queen mother? This will inevitably attract people's attention. Jian Huaizhen is the most cautious in dealing with people, so she definitely refuses to leave half a word of gossip and is a dirty person.

After Zero came to Yongshou Palace, he saw that Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager Zhou were arguing because of the things after the book, and they didn't speak to each other. He gave a salute and smiled and said: "Empress Dowager Qian, Empress Dowager Zhou, and the eldest princess, I heard that the two empress dowagers asked her to discuss the matter after the book, and I was pleased, but unfortunately the eldest princess was infected with wind and cold and had difficulty walking, so she specially sent slaves and maids to invite the empress dowager of the two palaces to Wan'an Palace to discuss.

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she immediately understood in her heart why Jian Huaizhen refused to come to this Yongshou Palace, naturally because she was afraid of confessing to the handle and making people say that she favored Empress Dowager Qian. It can be seen that in the latter matter, as long as he insists, Jian Huaizhen may not support himself, thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly turned her anger into joy, and said to Ling Luo: "Is the eldest princess sick?" Don't know if it's serious or not? ”

Scattered said with a smile: "It's better, it's just the eldest princess, I'm afraid that it won't be good if I come out and move around and infect people."

Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile on her face: "The eldest princess is really thoughtful," she turned to Empress Dowager Qian and said: "Since Empress Dowager Qian is like this, why don't we go to Wan'an Palace, and discuss with the eldest princess about canonizing the queen; Second, he also stopped by to visit the eldest princess's illness.

Queen Qian heard that Jian Huaizhen was sick, she had always been loyal, where did she want to get so many doorways, she thought that Jian Huaizhen was really sick. Hearing that Empress Dowager Zhou offered to visit Jian Huaizhen, she immediately said: "This is very good, let's go to Wan'an Palace."

So accompanied by Scattered, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces set off and headed towards the Ten Thousand Palaces. When they arrived at Wan'an Palace, Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager Zhou saw Jian Huaizhen sitting upright on a chair in the main hall, looking innocent of illness on their faces.

When Jian Huaizhen saw the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, he smiled and said, "The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces has always been good? ”

Empress Dowager Qian responded, "Okay, thank you for forgetting the eldest princess, I don't know how the eldest princess's condition is?" ”

When Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Empress Dowager Qian had taken the lead first, she felt very dissatisfied. Busy said with a smile on his face: "The eldest princess, I just heard the mourning family say that you are not feeling well, I don't know how you are now?" Since the eldest princess is sick, the mourning family turned around and sent the thousand-year-old ginseng to the princess to make up for her body. ”

Jian Huaizhen didn't shirk either, and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager Zhou is too polite. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou also laughed and said: "Where, where, the eldest princess is our elder, and it is also appropriate to honor the eldest princess." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said nothing, how could she not know the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Zhou. Jian Huaizhen thought for a while and asked: "At the beginning, the queen mother of the two palaces, please invite the little eunuch to invite the palace, saying that she wants to discuss the matter after the emperor's book, is there such a thing?" ”
