Chapter 34, beating the Empress Dowager Zhang
Zhu Houxi shook his head: "It's not all. In the edict of enthronement, 81 new policies were clearly listed, 18 of which were abolished and constrained by a large number of ministers, 11 of which were specifically for the abolition of some officials appointed by the imperial brother, and 4 articles were aimed at the appointment of military attaches due to the imperial brother, and 4 articles clearly stated the maladministration of the Zhengde Dynasty. After the first amnesty, the second and third are to rehabilitate officials who have been repressed in the past 16 years......"
He briefly introduced it before saying: "This great throne was passed on to me by the imperial brother, and I am the king of the world, and the edict on the throne first said that the imperial brother had so many malpractices in one day, and despised the imperial brother?" ”
After hearing what he said, Empress Dowager Zhang was angry and aggrieved.
Even if his son was a little messy before, but the edict of the enthronement is something that is almost the new monarch's conclusion on the coffin of his predecessor, Yang Ting and them really don't leave any affection for their son.
Such a courtier is embarrassed to say that he is a loyal minister?
But this emperor said that the throne was passed on to him by the emperor's brother.
Is it Zhao'er? It's clear that this palace chose you!
"The Emperor...... Later ordered them to change? Empress Dowager Zhang asked first.
Zhu Houxi sighed: "Naturally, it has to be changed." The imperial brother is kind to me, and I can't ignore the imperial brother's posthumous name. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang knew that he was also implying that he was also hinting to herself, and he had a kindness to repay his kindness. But if there is unpleasantness in the back, he dares to keep pressing the courtiers' necks to make them obedient, let alone in the harem?
There are very few pure "family banquets" in the palace, and Zhu Houxi's show also has his own purpose.
If he knew that Concubine Shao was tired of moving, Zhu Houxi would have only come over to visit and greet him when he was running.
But now, he must remind the Empress Dowager Zhang.
Now that he has ascended the throne, it is a blessing for Empress Dowager Zhang to keep a low profile, this is not the stage for her to participate in major events in accordance with her will. Now in the palace, there can only be one person's voice.
After first expressing the "grace" of his son's name, Zhu Houxi said: "Queen Mother, my nephew still has something to discuss with the Queen Mother." ”
“…… What's the matter, Emperor, please tell me. Empress Dowager Zhang had a vague premonition.
Zhu Houxi said with a smile: "Grandmother is old, and it doesn't seem appropriate to live in Weiyang Palace. One grandmother is blind and has been sick for many years, which requires frequent movement of the body, so the courtyard has to be more open. Second, when my mother arrives in Beijing, they also need to arrange accommodation when they arrive in the palace. After all, Weiyang Palace is the residence of the harem, and the nephew is probably going to get married in the draft next year, right? My grandmother was too old to move around. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang listened to him mention this question bluntly, and slowly put down her chopsticks.
Concubine Shao was a little scared, but Zhu Houxi squeezed her hand, and she pursed her mouth tightly.
"When is the emperor going to take the princess into Beijing?" Empress Dowager Zhang looked at him, "I heard that today in the palace, the emperor also said that he would posthumously honor the king and crown the queen mother for the princess?" ”
There is no good banquet, which Empress Dowager Zhang feels now.
But Zhu Houxi didn't feel that this was too urgent at all, and said with a frank smile: "Naturally, I want to pick up my mother as soon as possible." Aunt, it's all a family, isn't it good to be more lively in the palace? ”
Empress Dowager Zhang remembered that Heling said that the emperor always snubbed him, and asked with a smile: "Family? ”
"Nature is a family." Zhu Houxi was not young, and raised his hand to clip vegetables for her, "Auntie, I know that if I become your son, you feel more at ease if you are bound by the etiquette law." But as long as my aunt believes in my nephew, and I say that I will do my filial piety on behalf of the emperor's brother, I will never lie to me. It's just that if my aunt wants me to deny my biological parents, it will be embarrassing. If it ruins the family's affection, it's not worth it, right? ”
"What does the emperor want to discuss with me, how do you want to arrange it?"
Regarding the matter of Weiyang Palace, he was so simply and in such a hurry to come to the showdown today, and Empress Dowager Zhang simply asked with some sullenness.
What he is going to do is how to treat this aunt and his biological mother in the future.
"I went to Qingning Palace today to meet the imperial sister-in-law, and I saw that it had not been repaired for a long time, and it was quite cold, and the imperial sister-in-law was probably not good for her health for a long time. According to my nephew's idea, it is better to let the imperial sister-in-law move to Renshou Palace, the queen mother and the imperial sister-in-law both live here, and they also have a family to accompany them, don't you say? ”
Empress Dowager Zhang was noncommittal, and Zhu Houxi continued to smile: "As for Qingning Palace, my nephew ordered someone to renovate it, just in time for my mother to go back and live." Of course, if the aunt thinks that the renovated Qingning Palace is better, it is the same if she lives in the past. All in all, there is a queen mother in each of the two palaces, and the nephew is also preparing to let the ministers discuss it together in a few days and add honorific titles to the aunt. ”
"Add an honorific title to Hongu?"
Zhu Houxi nodded: "Naturally." Since the aunt and nephew have become emperors, it would be unreasonable if the queen mother was only a princess. However, my aunt has worked hard, and the emperor is also my father's brother, so how can my nephew disrespect my aunt? ”
He sighed again: "My nephew proposed a family banquet for the family today, just to make this topic clear first, so as not to have more and more suspicions in the future." Aunt, now that your nephew has ascended the throne, don't you want the family to be in harmony in the future? I don't want my nephew to give birth to a prince as soon as possible, do you have a grandson to hold? ”
"Didn't you say you would go straight to the domain?" Empress Dowager Zhang sneered slightly.
"You can't just send it in swaddling clothes." Zhu Houxi still said sincerely, "This matter can be negotiated with a charter, according to my meaning, I am not afraid that there will be a battle for the throne in the future." As long as the education is successful, and no one around them doesn't have that thought, how can they have a different heart? If there is really a different heart, it is a rebellion. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at his sincere face and couldn't pick out the thorns.
Grandson...... This is also the regret that Empress Dowager Zhang has always had. Thinking that he didn't invite Queen Xia to come today, he didn't know whether he was avoiding danger or deliberately letting himself make decisions alone.
Now this is another threat, and this "grandson" is getting hotter and hotter.
Who knows when he will be placed on the sin of rebellion with a different heart and a child to seize the throne in the future?
“…… The emperor's eloquence and temperament were also understood by the palace. Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly let out a long sigh, "Let the Queen Mother live in Weiyang Palace temporarily, there is really no place to settle down for the time being, and it is the former residence of the concubine." ”
She never mentioned that her daughter-in-law, Empress Xia, who is now only the imperial sister-in-law, is actually not qualified to live alone in Qingning Palace.
Zhu Houxi was relieved when he heard him, and said with a smile: "My nephew understands my aunt's difficulties. In this case, the nephew was also spared the trouble of telling the foreign minister to let his grandmother temporarily move to Xiyuan Yongshou Palace. If the minister mistakenly thinks that his nephew is going to live in Xiyuan like the emperor's brother, it will be lively. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at him blankly: "Relocate...... Yongshou Palace? ”
"Grandmother's residence in Weiyang Palace is always non-compliant." Zhu Houxi smiled, "If you have been living in Weiyang Palace, I am afraid that when it reaches the ears of the ministers, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will deliberately give me eye medicine." ”
Empress Dowager Zhang finally understood.
If she didn't agree to this matter today, this good nephew was afraid that she would take the initiative to mention this matter to the minister.
Turning back and borrowing the music and mouths of those foreign ministers, he is not a human being inside and out, and he will provide a good reason for this good nephew not to succeed!
By this time, the family feast had been completely tasteless.
But looking at the emperor who had been doing nothing, he still smiled as if nothing had happened.
Empress Dowager Zhang felt chills in her heart...... In the future, do you want to stay in the palace with such a good nephew all the time?
She began to be afraid, and she hated Yuan Jinsheng who had the idea of Weiyang Palace.
Dan'er, who served the concubine to eat, also became more and more drumming in her heart, and she didn't dare to peek at the Son of Heaven with more eyes.
Such a smart son of heaven is only afraid that there are a hundred people around the Queen Mother!
Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven just entered the palace, and he dared to remind the Queen Mother of this kind of posture although he respected him.
Nor is it surprising...... He is the Son of Heaven after all!
If there is a Son of Heaven in the palace, what is the Queen Mother?
What's more, it's not a pro.
Even if it was pro, Emperor Zhengde once ordered the investigation and punishment of the two uncles regardless of his mother's opinions, and even abolished Empress Zhang, who listened to the Queen Mother's words and blew the pillow wind in his ears at that time, otherwise the current Empress Xia would not be able to ascend the throne.
