Succession (1)
There's really a secret spot in their neighborhood.
The main task of these secret inspections was to record the words and deeds of the empress dowager.
Zhao Hanzhang never concealed this, "The people are bound by law and morality, and officials have one more supervision than the people, and as the emperor and the empress dowager, in addition to being bound by law and morality, and supervised by hundreds of officials, they must also be supervised by historians." ”
"Every word and deed will be recorded in history, and after a hundred years, you will be instructed by others, whether it is good or evil, good or bad, it will not stop for thousands of years," Zhao Han said: "So you have to adapt in advance." ”
Zhao Mingming adapted well, after all, she had seen Julang follow her mother every step of the way for as long as she could remember.
Even if she sleeps at night, there is a living room on duty in the side hall next to the main hall, her father goes home one day, quarrels with her mother one day, and is driven to sleep in the study one day, and the living room knows better than her as a daughter.
The couple's private life is so secret, not to mention that she has experience outside.
In her mother's words, "Your morality, whether you can be a good heir and an emperor need to be judged, where to judge?" ”
"In addition to your work, it is the details of life, you don't have to suppress yourself too much, you can do what you want to do after thinking twice, if you do it wrong, I and the courtiers will remind you."
So Zhao Mingming knew that her words and deeds would be stared at by others since she was a child, and she didn't feel uncomfortable, but adapted well.
She had already regarded these people as nothing, and only occasionally thought of them, so she couldn't help but introspect, and after realizing that she had not done anything that would affect the character of the princess, she continued to live with confidence and boldness.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, she was the crown princess, and she was the next emperor.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't think there was a problem, so after seeing Yuan Li's special record, he said: "I am very relieved that she can have this ambition." ”
When these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the status of the imperial concubine was stable, and the emperor never doubted the imperial concubine.
But most of the courtiers still chose to be loyal to the emperor, and only a small number of people chose to join the camp of the empress early and wanted to run a force for the empress.
It's really Zhao Hanzhang who is too young, this is when she is in the prime of life, although she has injuries left by her youth, she has always followed the doctor's instructions to recuperate.
Coupled with the fact that she practiced martial arts diligently every day, and did not have the disadvantages of ordinary male emperors indulging in beauty, this made her live a very healthy life.
Much healthier than a cadre of ministers in the DPRK.
The biggest opponent of her health is busy with government affairs, but over the years, she has proposed the cabinet, delegated the power of the left and right prime ministers to the cabinet, and the imperial power was decentralized, and she herself was a little more relaxed, no longer staying up late every night until three watches, and basically being able to fall asleep before the hour.
In addition, the emperor attached great importance to the construction of medical schools, and famous doctors from all over the world gathered in Luoyang, so that medicine also developed rapidly.
In the past, due to the arrow, she would have sores or itchy wounds every year in the change of seasons and summer and winter, and slowly healed, and finally stopped being itchy when she encountered heat or cold.
If you don't estimate conservatively, the emperor can live to be at least seventy years old, and she is only thirty-seven years old this year, that is, it is not a problem for her to be an emperor for another thirty years.
Thirty years.
Thirty years later, the crown princess is forty-six years old, and in the meantime, if the emperor accidentally gives birth to one or two sons and daughters, who knows if there will be a matter of taking the concubine?
Moreover, as you get older, your thoughts change.
Especially the emperor, the older he gets, the more he values the power in his opponents.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Prince Lu learned from the past, and the courtiers were naturally cautious, so even if Zhao Hanzhang did not reproach Zhao Mingming's relevant words and deeds at this time, showing his unique value and love for her, Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan also had a good relationship and deep feelings, but because she saw that she could live for a long time, it was still a big risk to choose Zhao Mingming's courtiers.
The courtiers who wanted to fight for a wave of dragon merit did a good job of psychological construction, and they also made up their minds to make a choice, only to find out at this time that they couldn't find where the empress was.
At present, the court knows the specific whereabouts of the empress dowager, except for Ji Yuan and Ming Pre, I am afraid that only Zu Li, Fan Ying and Yuan Li know.
They went back and forth among the five, and finally found that they couldn't find anyone to inquire about.
Although Ji Yuan and Ming Yu firmly chose the imperial princess, they were more determined royalists.
If there was a conflict between the interests of the emperor and the empress dowager, the two of them would definitely choose the emperor over the empress dowager.
The most important thing is that both prime ministers are extremely opposed to forming parties for personal gain.
So if they go to Ji Yuan and Ming Pre, won't they fall into the net?
If it is said that looking for Ji Yuan and Ming Pre is self-defeating, then looking for Yuan Li is self-defeating.
Yuan Li was the first candidate they excluded, and Fan Ying was the second.
If Yuan Li is a hungry wolf, then Fan Ying is a loyal dog.
Three famous lonely ministers in the court, Beigong Chun, Fan Ying and Yuan Li.
Beigong is purely due to personality, he is arrogant and not good at words, and he is a relative of the emperor, so he only obeys the emperor, and he is also the favorite lonely minister of the courtiers, because he never troubles them;
Fan Ying, this person is the emperor's brainless follower, even if the emperor points to the elephant and says that it is a dog, Fan Ying will say that His Majesty is very right.
She is now the Imperial Doctor, supervising hundreds of officials.
Yushitai has now become one of the three judicial departments of the country together with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, not only the rumors of the previous dynasty, but also the judicial power.
Each state and county has set up a branch of the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise hundreds of officials.
Ordinary people can even anonymously report the illegal and criminal affairs of officials to the Yushitai, as long as there is relevant evidence, the Yushitai will file a case and then investigate.
Once verified, there is a right to deal with prison proceedings.
Moreover, Yuan Li's secret investigation department will also cooperate with the three justices.
It is precisely because the Imperial Historical Observatory is spread all over the states and counties that the rule of officials can be so clear now.
Therefore, Fan Ying was successfully promoted to the third person in the court who could not be offended.
The second person who can't be offended is Yuan Li.
The people who were planted in his hands were too miserable.
Although the emperor reprimanded him several times, he also changed some of them, but still no officials wanted to fall into his hands, it was too miserable, it was really too miserable.
The first one who can't be offended is Fu Tinghan.
offended Fu Tinghan, often before he got angry, the emperor helped him get the field back first.
However, Director Fu has a good temper and rarely gets angry, there are people who can provoke him, it must be that person's fault, not to mention the emperor, the courtiers are not happy.
The rest is Zu Li.
But this man is ...... It doesn't leak, it doesn't slip, and it is difficult, difficult, very difficult to get news from him.
However, he was the only one who could give it a try.
Those people still quietly went to find Zu Ti to inquire.
Zu Ti didn't know anything about it, but he didn't tell the emperor, he just didn't understand the code words of those people, and these things didn't happen.
Zhao Mingming has been training abroad for five years, served as a small official, served as a county commander, and went to the border pass as a captain, and finally went to the battlefield several times, and was successfully promoted from a lieutenant to a general, and then returned to Beijing to be her imperial daughter.
She didn't go back alone.
When she returned to Beijing, she brought a series of people with her, and she also wrote to her friends who had met outside in the past few years and invited them to participate in the recruitment examination for the second year.
