Chapter 52: The Princess

The minister who can stand in the Daqing Hall and go to the early dynasty.

The official position is not low.

This Wen Zhong, Qin Zheng also has an impression.

It just surprised him.

Why did the people from the Ministry of Rites come out at this time?

"There haven't been any large-scale sacrifices recently, and there is nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, why did Wen Zhong jump out?"

Qin Zheng was very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

Let's wait and see what happens.

Looking at Wen Zhong who stood up, Qin Zheng asked him:

"Wen Aiqing, what do you have to report?"

Wen Zhong's heart was a little nervous at this time.

He knew very well that what he was doing was extremely important.

If only that were done.

It is possible to sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

If you mess up, you may anger Your Majesty and lose your head in minutes.

But when Wen Zhong thought that this matter was explained by the prime minister, he suddenly had confidence again.

And.

The position of the Ministry of Rites was very tempting to him, and he was reluctant to give up.

After organizing some language, Wen Zhong bowed to Qin Zheng and said:

"Your Majesty, since Emperor Renzong, successive new monarchs have ascended the throne, and they will appoint a queen mother to stabilize the harem for the new monarch and assist the new monarch in handling the political affairs of the world.

However, His Majesty has been on the throne for more than a year, and although His Majesty's biological mother has been appointed as the Empress Dowager Xianren, the Empress Dowager Xianren has been dead for many years and cannot assist Her Majesty in handling court affairs. ”

When Qin Zheng heard this, his expression immediately turned cold.

"This dog thing dares to mention this, I'm afraid there is a great help pushing it, and this matter must be dealt with carefully."

Wen Zhong didn't notice the change in Qin Zheng's expression, and continued:

"Therefore, the minister asks His Majesty to appoint a new queen mother among the concubines in the harem, thinking that His Majesty will stabilize the harem and assist His Majesty in handling the government and governing the world.

Teach Your Majesty to abide by filial piety, and ask Your Majesty's permission. ”

After Wen Zhongyu finished reporting, he was extremely worried in his heart.

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse depends on the attitude of the Son of Heaven and Ning Xiang, I hope it's a blessing, it took me most of my life to sit in the position of the waiter, but don't let this matter be lost."

After Wen Zhong's report.

The rest of the ministers in the Daqing Hall remained silent.

Compared with Zhao Zhe yesterday and the donation just now.

It's the big deal right now.

This not only involves the influence of the harem.

It also involved the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the scholars and doctors.

It is also a test of today's attitude towards the ministers.

If only the Son of Heaven hadn't handled this matter well.

It is not only the ministers of the court who are offended, but also the scholars and doctors.

Qin Zheng looked at the silent ministers below.

He didn't speak immediately, thinking about what to do with it.

"The canonization of the empress dowager must be done, can not be done, this is since Emperor Renzong, the political transaction between the emperor and the scholars,

If it is not handled properly, it will offend the entire scholar class, and the slightest carelessness will cause big trouble. ”

At the time of the founding of Dakang, there was no such system.

This system began with Emperor Injong.

When Emperor Injong ascended the throne, he was extremely young and could not handle the court.

The literati doctor in the court suggested that Emperor Renzong's adoptive mother be the empress dowager to assist Emperor Renzong in handling the affairs of the imperial court.

It is for the queen mother of the chapter

The Empress Dowager Zhang Xian sat in the position of the Empress Dowager with the support of literati and doctors.

Then she must be towards the literati doctor group.

Therefore.

When Empress Dowager Zhang Xian assisted Emperor Renzong in handling government affairs, she must have been towards the literati and doctors.

This further strengthened the power of the literati doctors.

These literati and doctors are in order to be able to control the government all the time.

Through the hands of the Empress Dowager, this system was established.

So much so that the Son of Heaven since Emperor Renzong had to act according to this system.

Speaking of it, it is to assist the Son of Heaven in dealing with the politics of the dynasty and managing the world.

In fact, it was the literati and doctors who used the hand of the Empress Dowager to limit the power of the Son of Heaven.

Prevent the Son of Heaven from being too strong to the detriment of the interests of their class.

Obviously.

The strength shown by Qin Zheng in the previous dynasty yesterday seems to have touched the interests of these people.

Only then did Wen Zhong start to set up the Queen Mother at this time.

Cleared the mind in his head.

Qin Zheng's gaze looked at Ning Heng, who was standing in the first place.

"Even if Wen Zhong is the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, if there is no one behind him to support him, he will never have the courage to stand up and mention this matter, if nothing else, it will be you again."

Qin Zheng never spoke.

The ministers in the hall also remained silent.

Even Xia Ji, Tong Yu, and He Guan, who are in the same camp as Qin Zheng, are ministers who have contradictions with the Ning Party.

There is no way to object to this matter.

It's Ning Heng.

At this time, the heart is extremely proud:

"Emperor Xiao'er, see how you handle this matter."

The entire Daqing Hall was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

After pondering for a few breaths, Qin Zheng said to Wen Zhong, who was extremely worried in his heart below:

"Wen Aiqing, I already know what you played, but this matter is extremely important, I still have to discuss with all the ministers and good students to make a decision, you can step down."

Seeing Qin Zheng say this, Wen Zhong hesitated a little in his heart.

Thinking of Ning Heng's explanation to him, he gritted his teeth and bowed down again:

"Your Majesty, this matter ......"

Seeing that Wen Zhong was planning to fight to the death, Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, and his tone became a little heavier:

"Wen Aiqing, didn't you hear my words? This matter needs to be discussed, and I have my own opinions, so I will retreat. ”

Seeing that Qin Zheng was angry, Wen Zhong immediately thought of what happened to Huafeng yesterday, and was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty is angry, your ......"

Wen Zhong didn't know whether to retreat or continue, so he stayed where he was.

Neither advance nor retreat.

Looking at Wen Zhong's appearance, Qin Zheng understood.

"I'm afraid I can't hide from this today."

Sure enough.

Liu He, a scholar of Longtuge University on the side, stood up and bowed down to report:

"Your Majesty, what Wen Shilang played is a state affair, and it is related to the stability of the harem, the imperial court and the country, and there can be no delay, and I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible,

Give a clear answer to the ministers and all the people of the world. ”

After Liu He finished speaking, Ning Heng, who had not spoken, stood up:

"Your Majesty, what Scholar Liu said is very true, and I also ask Your Majesty to settle this matter as soon as possible, so that the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian can prepare for this matter as soon as possible."

As the bigwigs like Ning Heng and Liu He stood up to make a statement.

The rest of the ministers in the palace stood up one after another, demanding that Qin Zheng make a decision as soon as possible without delay.

Look at the reactions of the ministers below.

Although Qin Zheng was very unhappy in his heart, he was not angry.

It must be done, for sure.

But there is room for negotiation in terms of who and when to do it.

Qin Zheng asked Ning Heng, who was standing in the first place.

"Ning Aiqing, who do you think can be the queen mother among the concubines in the harem?"

Ning Heng saw Qin Zheng asking, the corners of his mouth turned up without a trace, and said:

"The minister thinks that Concubine Chen can be registered as the new queen mother."
