In the early Ming Dynasty, this was good, and the emperor's authority was really great.

Xuan, Ying, Dai, and Xian have four successive generations of emperors, and three of them have changed queens, and no one cares about them at all.

When Xuanzong killed the King of Han, the nine sons of the King of Han directly 'died with their father', plus the Princess of Han and the concubines, within one day, the family was reunited, without any mud and water, and no one cared about it at all.

Today's ministers are the same, since the emperor has to avenge his sister, then revenge, and no one objects.

So Zhu Qiyu looked at everyone and was also embarrassed. Say it yourself for a long time, and no one will object. To Ling Chi a colt, everyone was indifferent.

So, Zhu Qiyu took advantage of the daze of everyone to brew some feelings, and then began to cry.

While crying, he told his grievances and the pain of losing his son and daughter, and after talking about himself, he continued to cry about Queen Hu's grievances.

The more Chen Xun and the others listened, the more confused they became, the emperor had always been strong and resolute, not like a person with fragile feelings. Well, the emperor died with a son and two daughters, and his heart was sad, and everyone can understand his miserable experience crying for himself.

But did the emperor have such genuine feelings for Empress Hu? As for the tears, why did you cry so sadly for Queen Hu?

The ministers spoke of consolation, and it was easy for the emperor to stop his tears.

Everyone was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Zhu Qiyu threw out his true appeal: "I was young before, and I didn't know the sorrow of people. Now that I have experienced the pain of the loss of my children, I can understand the despair of the queen mother.

First of all, my second sister Princess Yongqing died early, and then the Empress Dowager died, and the queen mother and eldest sister had no one to shelter, resulting in the assassination of the eldest sister Princess Shunde just three months later.

At that time, the queen mother was isolated and helpless, and the whole world was the enemy, and there was no loyal minister and righteous man in the Ming Dynasty. Less than nine months later, the queen mother died of depression, and the rebel minister was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Hu, who buried the queen mother in Jinshan with the rites of the concubine, the queen of the dignified house, and the sacrifice was unexpected.

I feel the despair here, but now I feel the same way. I am deeply indignant at the disloyalty of the rebels.

Therefore, I have made up my mind to pass myself to the name of the queen mother, so that the queen mother can continue the incense and be sacrificed forever. ”

Zhu Qiyu didn't have the idea of abolishing the Sun family now, so he saved face for the Sun family in the statement. The sin of burying Queen Hu with the gift of a concubine temporarily made Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at that time, bear it alone.

Everyone's reactions were also different, He Yi and Huang Pu remained silent, and the old god was there, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, Luo Tong, and He Wenyuan were surprised at first, but then delighted.

Chen Xun, Zhou Chen, and Yu Shiyue were first stunned, and then relieved.

Three different reactions represent the degree of hardcore of these cronies of the ministers.

He Yi and Huang Pu are the most hardcore, and they knew the emperor's plan early on.

Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, Luo Tong, and He Wenyuan are very resolute, and they are all ready to follow the emperor to the black. Either succeed and be a great minister; Either they will fail and be exiled to the army. At this point, the four of them can't turn back, and they don't plan to turn back.

The only thing these four people care about now is when Princess Qi will give birth to a son. As long as the emperor has a son-in-law, everyone can start planning to change the crown prince.

Although the accident in the palace of the emperor this time led to the loss of a child of the emperor. But after all, the emperor has proven his fertility, and the four of them are still very confident that the emperor will give birth to a concubine within a few years.

As for the emperor's recognition in the name of Empress Hu, as long as it can really be done, then it will be seen later.

Once the emperor became the son of Empress Hu, it became much easier to reduce the legitimacy of the Taishang Emperor's lineage and change the crown prince.

Therefore, after a short period of surprise, Wang Wen and others decided to resolutely support the emperor to compete for the position of concubine.

Chen Xun, Zhou Chen, and Yu Shiyue are close to the emperor and optimistic about the emperor, but in terms of resoluteness, they are obviously one level worse than Wang Wen and He Wenyuan.

Originally, if it weren't for the two things of the princess Wang poisoning the prince and the concubine Shi Jing poisoning the princess of Shunde, Chen Xun and others might have come out to dissuade them, asking the emperor to value peace and not kill the queen mother and the emperor.

But now that the emperor has died of a son and two daughters, and knows the truth about his sister's poisoning, it would be a bit too much for Chen Xun and the others to stand up and persuade the emperor to be generous at this time.

Didn't you see that the emperor had publicly called Hu Hu a rebel, the last Yang Hong, who was called a rebel minister by the emperor, was waiting peacefully in Jinyi Wei Prison to eat meat for the New Year.

Chen Xun, Zhou Chen, and Yu Shiyue can see that the emperor's attitude this time is extremely resolute, if he dares to speak out, he will soon be characterized as a rebel like Hu Hu, and then he can pack up his things and go to Nanjing to lead the idle pension.

However, Chen Xun still asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, does the concubine know about this?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "This matter was initiated by the concubine, and the concubine has always been extremely sympathetic to the experience of the queen mother, and now that she has learned the truth about the murder of Princess Shunde, the concubine is also heartbroken."

Therefore, the concubine proposed to pass me to the queen mother, and correct the position of the queen mother, and avenge the blood of her sister. ”

Since the concubine herself is willing, then everyone present has no doubts.

Zhu Qiyu instructed everyone: "Go back and prepare, and prepare the holy decree for the restoration of the queen mother." and Wang Aiqing and Yu Aiqing worked harder, and today they will complete the triage of Shi Jing's three divisions.

It will be announced at the court meeting tomorrow, and Shi Jing will be executed the day after tomorrow.

Does Zhong Aiqing still have something to play? If not, disperse. ”

When Wang Wen heard this, he hurriedly took out a list and handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is the list of pardons for the former ministers of Jianwen prepared by the cabinet and the three law divisions, please take a look." ”

Zhu Qiyu read it and nodded: "Yes, let's draw up the purpose according to this list." ”

Everyone had nothing else to do, and bowed together and took their leave.

……

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also the last day of the orthodox year.

The capital is very lively, and there are many people who eat melons in any era, and they are by no means limited to later generations.

Zhu Qiyu's own industry has become so prosperous that it is unbelievable.

It's just that the accuracy of the information and the speed of the news are unmatched.

In the morning, the cabinet prepared its will, and before noon, the diners who were waiting in the sky tower received the news that Empress Hu would be officially reinstated tomorrow.

This is still expected by the government and the opposition.

But the next news was even more explosive, the emperor actually wanted to pass himself to the name of Empress Hu, and continue the incense for this poor Ming concubine, so that he could be sacrificed forever.

Soon, there was a lot of noise and discussion in the heavenly tower. Everyone exchanged their heads and expressed their opinions.

But on the whole, public opinion was sympathetic to Empress Hu and in favor of the emperor's succession.

For ordinary diners, this meal is very satisfying. Just this shocking news was worth dozens of taels of silver.

Of course, these so-called ordinary diners are all spenders. Either from the noble and wealthy families in the capital, or from a wealthy businessman who came to Beijing from other places.

As for the non-ordinary diners, it refers to the powerful family members who specialize in staying here to find out the news.

Not long after the news was announced, more than 20 powerful people did not leave the Tianlou in a hurry, and each went home to report the news.

In less than an hour, Sun Zhong, the Marquis of Huichang, entered the palace in a hurry.
