Emperor Hongzhi looked out of the hall, his face was silent, he thought of those ministers who seemed to be loyal to the country, but in fact they had their own selfish intentions.

He thought of the son who was not like a man, and the picture in his mind turned, and he thought of the lost daughter again.

"The concubine is not ignorant of His Majesty's difficulties, Zhao'er is the crown prince, and she will be the emperor in the future. But he is so heartless, if there is no real person around him to help him, who will try his best to plan for Zhao'er, I am afraid that he will be deceived by others. ”

"Now Your Majesty is thinking of only giving Xiurong the title of an adopted daughter, so that Xia Yuan can stay in the court, and he can help Zhao'er in the future, and these concubines that Your Majesty said all understand."

"The concubine can also agree, but it is enough to give the title of an adopted daughter, but only the title of a county lord, what is Your Majesty worried about? I'm afraid that those ministers won't agree or what? ”

"Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the emperor, this is the family matter of the Zhu family!

The concubines didn't believe that those ministers dared to chew their tongues on this matter, His Majesty always thought about stability all day long, always thinking about stability

The concubines hadn't read any history books, but they also knew that Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizongwen were by no means the same kind of character as His Majesty, otherwise where would they come from. ”

"I"

Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth to speak, but he stopped, he knew that what the queen said was right, he was indeed seeking stability, and he just wanted stability.

Follow the same trend, don't dare to take too big steps, don't dare to make too out-of-the-ordinary moves, after all, he is not an emperor like Taizu Taizong, he just thinks about peace and stability.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhu seemed to have made a decision, and said slowly: "What Shujun said is that I am really timid, worried about being crowned a princess, and the courtiers can't say it, but this is my family matter, if anyone writes on this matter, I will reject it." ”

Within two days, the decree to canonize the princess was issued, which made many people rise in their posture and learn a lot of vocabulary.

Duanfang is polite, chaste and soft, Pi Zhao Shuhui, Heng Huang has rules, warm and honest, soft and soft.

boasted that there was nothing in the sky and no in the earth, and then proposed to adopt her as an adopted daughter, give her the surname Zhu, and crown Princess Shoukang.

This holy decree has confused many ministers, adopt an adopted daughter?

People who have general history books suddenly thought of the word "harmony".

In the previous dynasties, there were also emperors who did this kind of thing of losing their conscience, and they were reluctant to have their own biological daughter, so they accepted an adopted daughter to make peace with foreign clans.

For example, that Heavenly Khan Tang Taizong, he has a daughter, who is neither the Li Tang clan, nor his own child. He was named the lord of Dingxiang County, and later married to the Turks and relatives.

But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty has always been discordant.

What's more, this woman who was adopted by the emperor and queen as an adopted daughter and made a princess is still Xia Xima's wife, how can one daughter marry a second husband?

So, what's behind this?

Is there some dirty deal in this?

Soon after the holy decree was issued, a letter of enclosure was handed into the palace like snowflakes.

Metropolitan Inspectorate.

He was in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, impeaching officials, and reporting to the emperor.

With the Criminal Department, Dali Temple is also known as the Three Law Divisions, and the so-called Three Divisions will be tried, which comes from this, and the power is not heavy.

Even the Imperial Procuratorate can not only supervise officials, but also have the right to "judge major matters and make decisions on small matters", which is definitely the highest supervisory organ in the Ming Dynasty.

In short, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is very powerful.

And Liu Daxia is the most powerful person in this capital procuratorate, because he is the imperial history of the left capital.

At this time, he was sitting in the duty room drinking tea, and was severely humiliated by words two days ago, and planned to slowly hibernate and wait for the opportunity to attack again later.

But I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly, His Majesty recognized an adopted daughter and named her a princess.

Now that the entire Imperial Procuratorate has handed over the song, the emperor recognizes an adopted daughter, in the final analysis, this is the emperor's family matter, and he must not go to the court to say: Your Majesty, you can't recognize it.

But he can push the boat with his hands and turn the summer horse into a summer horse.

Although both are horses, one is a subordinate official of the prince and a minister of the hidden palace, and he can rise to the top just by waiting for the prince to ascend the throne.

The other is the captain of the horse, although he has a title, he cannot have any official position, has no power or office, stays away from the temple, and has since been obsessed with everyone.

Just as he was thinking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and people arrived before the sound came, "My lord, Soshu is back!" ”

Liu Daxia just raised his eyelids and took a sip of tea gently, as the most powerful person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was very steady, and said lightly: "Come back, come back, the old man can hear it, why is he so loud?" ”

It was a middle-aged imperial historian who came in, holding a thick stack of notebooks in his arms, followed by several imperial historians, without exception, everyone was holding a notebook in their arms, and they all looked out of breath.

Liu Daxia is very disappointed in these people, such a person is the imperial history under his hands?

No wonder today's Majesty is not as virtuous as before, this is the fault of the ministers, it is the fault of our imperial history, and the failure to timely Kuang Bi monarch makes His Majesty a virtuous minister, far from a villain.

With a long sigh in his heart, Liu Daxia's eyes looked at those playbooks and said with a smile: "Don't worry, speak slowly, but Your Majesty allowed me to wait for the performance?" ”

The middle-aged imperial historian in the lead hesitated: "My lord, if the lower official says it, don't be upset." ”

Liu Daxia's smile was a little stiff, but he still asked very steadily: "Could it be that Your Majesty has not approved?" ”

"Your Majesty will reject them all, and return them on the letter of the adults"

"What else?"

"Yet, still"

Seeing that this imperial history was hesitant, Liu Daxia lost patience, "Bring the old man's recital, and the old man will read it himself." ”

When the middle-aged imperial historian heard this, he hurriedly handed over the top notebook, Liu Daxia took it and opened it, and when he saw the imperial pen Zhu Pi clearly, his cheeks trembled.

Emperor Hongzhi was really patient, holding the imperial pen, and replied to everyone's recitals one by one, either it was not in compliance with the system, or there was no such precedent in the dynasty.

In short, they are all dismissed.

As for the letter written by Liu Daxia, perhaps because Liu Daxia is very powerful, the number of words replied is the largest, and it explains in detail why it is not allowed.

"I and the queen really love each other, and it is a great honor to adopt them as an adopted daughter, and it is a great honor to give the princess, but it is really inconvenient to shade her husband.

Not to mention, a horse can only be given a knighthood if it is married to my own daughter, and if the husband of the adopted daughter is given a horse knight, it is really not in line with the etiquette system of the national dynasty, and there is no such precedent since the establishment of the national dynasty. ”

"It's the Qing family, you are the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Commander-in-Chief, and your duty is to supervise hundreds of officials, and you should have played a role in state affairs. Now that the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate is ignoring such private matters, is the imperial history of the left capital not strict and the ministers are unknown? ”

In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi sat behind the imperial case and looked at the book, Xia Yuan sat on the small brocade pier, chattering endlessly, "Your Majesty, it's been three months, and it's time for the minister's wife to go home." And when the minister went to Kunning Palace today, the minister's wife also said that she wanted to go home with the minister, and the queen's mother."

As he was talking, Xiao Jing bowed down and walked in, "Emperor, Liu Daxia, the imperial history of the left capital, entered the palace to meet him." ”

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi, who had been silent, raised his head, and did not seem surprised, "Xuan him in." ”

After a while, Liu Daxia was led in by two eunuchs, and when he saw Xia Yuan sitting here, his expression changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, and then knelt on the ground with his robe and bowed to the ground, "Liu Daxia, the imperial history of the minister, has seen Your Majesty, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to be safe." ”

"I'm bowing to An, Liu Qing's family is flat, why did Qing make a special trip to the palace this time?"

Liu Daxia didn't get up, but kowtowed: "Your Majesty: The minister is here to ask Your Majesty for his resignation." ”
