Chapter 61: The Son of Heaven Collapses
The weather became hot, and in April, he used his body to reduce the number of times he went out.
If you don't go out in April, the follow-up investigation can only be put on hold.
Yuyin wondered if April knew about her plan. Otherwise, how to explain that people who originally had to go out once every three or five days now don't go out for ten days and a half months.
Poria found an opportunity to ask: "Doesn't Miss Yuan go out and walk around?" ”
"Hot! The body is getting heavy, so let's keep it. ”
"But...... It's more fun and fun out there. ”
Of course it's fun. Every time they go out of the house, they are placed in a rented small courtyard, and in April they will be given a sum of money for them to spend. Then she was able to act on her own.
April looked out the window, and the afternoon cicadas were buzzing in people's ears.
It's already June, and according to the timeline of the previous life, bad news will soon come from the capital.
The Son of Heaven is no more!
……
Capital!
The Son of Heaven returned to the light, and Uncle Xuanguo entered the palace to meet him and ask for orphans.
"Soon after my death, the crown prince will be handed over to the general!"
General Wu knelt in front of the bed, tears blurred. Last year, His Majesty annoyed his uncle and dismissed him from his position as a general. Today, another decree was issued that the official be reinstated.
"Your Majesty, don't say such things, Your Majesty Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely get better."
"My time is short, don't let me go uneasy. After I am gone, do not have a conflict with the DPRK and China, and the two sides should sit down and discuss as much as possible. Although Zhang Su is alone, he is known for his prestige, and he is also a good hand at leading troops in battle, so you have to get along with him and assist the prince together. ”
General Wu nodded again and again, and then asked, "...... the queen's side?"
There is an unwritten rule in this dynasty that when the young son ascends the throne, the queen mother should listen to the government.
Once the Son of Heaven passed away, the queen became the queen mother. Should the queen be allowed to come forward to listen to the government, even though it is his own sister-in-law, General Wu is a little uncertain in his heart.
It's just because he knows very well that the queen's temper and personality are a little weird, and no one can persuade her to be stubborn, and her ears are soft, but if she says something nice, everything is easy to discuss. Moreover, the queen trusts and values the palace attendants.
General Wu also relied on the help of his chamberlains to gradually gain a firm foothold in the court. But he developed, for the sake of fame, in order to please Shilin, he chose to turn his back on the inner servant.
Once the queen is combined with the chamberlain, it is not easy for him, the uncle of the country, to be caught in the middle.
Although the gate lord clan did not accept him, Shilin also mocked him mostly. But he has not yet made up his mind to betray the military generals of Wenchen and stand on the side of the chamberlain again.
In the final analysis, the key is the opinion of the queen.
As for the crown prince, a teenage little doll, his opinion does not matter.
"The Queen, I will arrange it. You don't have to care too much about what the queen thinks. Everything is important to the prince and the country. After I left, everything was simple and not extravagant. In addition, and Qi You must not be allowed to travel, Sun Mu and the others continue to stay in the capital. Be sure to drive the two back to their hometowns. If Qi You sends someone to lobby you, don't give him a chance. Can you do it? ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers will definitely drive Qi You and Sun Mu out of Beijing. Do not let them go beyond the norm. ”
"Very good!"
The Son of Heaven was satisfied.
Three days later, on June 18, the Son of Heaven died, and the world mourned.
Emperor Tianyou is not a good emperor, he is greedy for money, lustful, he reuses eunuchs, and does not trust courtiers. But if he reigns for one day, he can suppress the courtiers in the world and make the government and court operate normally.
During his reign, dozens of civil unrest broke out, and there were countless natural and man-made disasters. However, it was fooled and the problem was barely solved.
Speaking of the war in the past five years, the money and food used are enough to tens of billions, and the Son of Heaven has tried to solve them. It can be seen from this that the Son of Heaven is not without benefits for greed, at least it solves the money and food needed for the war, and also solves part of the money and food for disaster relief.
However, the Son of Heaven and the military generals of Wenchen do not deal with each other, and they always do it against each other. Therefore, the world's evaluation of the Son of Heaven is not high, and it is even a little disgusting.
Whoever makes the pen stick is in the hands of the gate lord clan, the world corporal.
On June 25, the prince of the eleventh year of the year succeeded to the throne, and the year name was Yongchu.
Empress Wu was promoted to Empress Dowager Wu and asked to interfere in politics and exercise imperial power for Her Majesty, but she was not approved by the court for a long time.
For this reason, Empress Dowager Wu was furious in the harem, and clearly stated that all civil and military officials were the murderers of the first emperor. If it weren't for the persecution of the civil and military officials, how could the first emperor die of illness at a young age.
He also cried that orphans and widows were manipulated by others, and that their hearts were restless and that they could not sleep at night. The northern and southern armies should be transferred to guard the palace.
The movement in the palace spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
The courtiers all reprimanded Empress Dowager Wu for her views and narrow-mindedness. If she is in politics, the court will definitely give birth to chaos. It is better to invite General Wu to come forward, on the one hand, to persuade the Empress Dowager Wu's words and deeds, and secondly, it is appropriate for General Wu to assist His Majesty.
The first emperor entrusted his young majesty to General Wu.
General Wu readily agreed, completely ignoring the Empress Dowager Wu in the palace.
Things went so smoothly to agree. Everyone got the results they wanted.
Only Empress Dowager Wu became a victim of this political game and got nothing. No one cares how she feels, no one cares about her situation.
Empress Dowager Wu was so angry that she teamed up with her chamberlain to control His Majesty.
When it was time for the court to deliberate, the courtiers found that there was no one on the dragon chair, and His Majesty did not appear.
After inquiring, I learned that Empress Dowager Wu controlled His Majesty and never left her side. Now His Majesty is trapped in the Deyang Palace, and he can't even get out of the main hall door.
It's okay.
The courtiers were furious.
Empress Dowager Wu's move is clearly challenging everyone's endurance and bottom line.
General Wu finally did one thing, he stood up to appease everyone and took the initiative to act as an intermediary in peacemaking.
"General Ben will definitely persuade the Queen Mother to let her release Your Majesty. Everyone, don't be impatient. ”
General Wu went to the Deyang Hall of the North Palace with great confidence and successfully met the Queen Mother and Her Majesty.
He persuaded: "Queen Mother, there is no way out for you to go on like this. You can't go against the military officials of the world. Let go of Your Majesty quickly, I will lead Your Majesty out, and the matter will settle down. ”
Empress Dowager Wu didn't listen, but cried and cried, "As my eldest brother and Your Majesty's uncle, you don't think about me and Your Majesty, and only care about pandering to and pleasing those courtiers." You've been pleasing them for so many years, have they ever given you a good look?
Don't look at everyone calling you a general to your face, and you don't know how to laugh at you behind your back. Moreover, the first emperor asked you to expel Qi You and Sun Mu from the capital, so many days have passed, have you done it?
Not only did you fail the trust of the first emperor, but you were even at the mercy of others, and the government was all at the disposal of those courtiers. You general, such a disgrace. You have the two armies of the north and the south, why should you be afraid of those courtiers.
I am the Queen Mother, and listening to politics is a matter of course, so why stop it. Blocking the palace today, he will be able to stop His Majesty's pro-government one day. They are all rebellious ministers and thieves. ”
