Hearing Empress Qian's explanation, Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept over Empress Zhou, swept over the crown prince, and then looked at Empress Dowager Sun.

Empress Dowager Sun shook her head and agreed with the statement given by Empress Qian.

Seeing that even the Empress Dowager Sun had no objections, Zhu Qizhen didn't want to say anything more.

But Zhu Qizhen still has countless questions in his heart: At that time, the harem was in the hands of his mother, so his younger brother did not have a black hand, and his mother did not have a black hand, so how did his queen blind? And how do you get lame?

In addition to the queen mother and younger brother, there are some powerful people in the harem, but they are the Zhou family and the Wan family.

The Zhou family has one son, and the Wan family has two sons, and the mother is expensive by virtue of the son, and she has some status.

In the harem, only these two people still have some motives, and the other concubines are not enough to see in front of Queen Qian.

Zhu Qiyu and his two favorite concubines secretly looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them knew very well in their hearts that Zhu Qizhen, as a 'mature politician', would definitely choose to accept reality.

In other words, ruthless.

The so-called conclusive history of Ming Yingzong and Queen Qian's husband and wife have a deep love and love for each other, which is pure nonsense.

Zhu Qizhen in history directly chose to accept the reality that Queen Qian was blind and lame, and he was not even interested in investigating.

Even the brother in Zhu Qiyu's eyes now, his attitude is too bland.

Sure enough, Zhu Qizhen quickly adjusted his mood and began to come over to greet Zhu Qiyu's family.

Although Zhu Qizhen looked down on the concubines and princesses of his younger brother's family, he still had to pretend to be more or less face-saving.

Even Zhu Qizhen had to admit that his younger brother's family was already very restrained, neither the position of the queen mother nor the position of the queen, and abandoned the Forbidden City, and no half of the people came to fight for the territory.

With this understanding, Zhu Qizhen was quite polite to Concubine Wu at least on the surface, and took the initiative to bow and salute.

Then looked at his younger brother's two princesses, Zhu Qizhen was a little stunned.

Zhu Qiyu is one left and one right, and the two princesses around him are all over the country and the city, and they are shocked, that's all, the key is that they look exactly the same.

It's no wonder that Zhu Qizhen was stunned, from Renzong, Xuanzong, to Zhu Qizhen, three generations are all good women. But after so many years of inheritance, no one even thought that there were twin sisters.

Zhu Qizhen also has to admire his younger brother, although he always does some absurd things, his thinking is often strange and unconventional, and he is different from ordinary people.

The two sides saluted, and after a cold noise, they went out to the square in front of the Fengtian Temple together to feast the ministers.

It is said that women usually do not attend such banquets, but today the situation is really special.

Having two emperors at the same time is the first time this situation has occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

How the two emperors should get along in the future, and how the ministers should treat the two emperors, this still needs to be officially confirmed.

Although the imperial court had agreed on a charter before, the unilateral decision of the courtiers alone was meaningless at all.

It is still necessary to be the son of today, and respectfully let the emperor, the queen mother, the imperial concubine, and the queen be present at the banquet together.

Then, in front of the civil and military officials, a consensus was reached that was recognized by all parties.

Only in this way can the ministers have rules to follow and rules to follow in the future.

So this banquet was quite grand, and all parties were present.

Empress Dowager Sun, Concubine Wu, Empress Qian, Empress Zhou, and the two princesses represent the power of the Ming harem; Zhu Rong, the king of Min, and Zhao Hui, the commander of the horses, represent the royal family.

Xu Chengzong, Duke of Wei, Zhang Zhong, Duke of Britain, and Duke Xu Heng of Anguo represent the three noble groups; Chen Xun and Wang Wen represent the Manchu Dynasty scholars.

There are representatives from all sides, and today is the most solemn banquet in the Ming Dynasty Hall after the civil fort.

Every word spoken by everyone present had to be carefully considered.

If you don't say it right, you may lose your life's future.

After all, not everyone can be as lucky as Xu Youzhen, who can be forcibly pulled back by the emperor after making discrediting remarks.

The two brothers, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, sat side by side in the south, Zhu Qizhen on the left and Zhu Qiyu on the right.

Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian, and Empress Zhou sat at the same table facing west.

Concubine Wu, the eldest princess of Yongjia, Zhu Yang, the king of Min, Zhu Wengui, the king of Dongwu County, and Zhao Hui, the captain of the horses, sat at the same table facing east.

The two princesses, Qianxue and Suxi, stood beside Zhu Qiyu and poured wine for Zhu Qiyu and Concubine Wu.

At this table sat the families of the two emperors, as well as the most honorable royal family members.

Ten people from other national dignitaries and civil and military ministers were seated at a table.

Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the banquet, first led the civil and military officials to congratulate the emperor on his return to Beijing, and then the banquet officially began.

Zhu Qiyu first congratulated his brother and toasted, and Zhu Qizhen toasted again to thank the emperor and his ministers for their hard work in protecting Sheji, and welcomed himself back to Beijing through dangers.

After three rounds of drinking, let's get to the point. Zhu Qizhen took the lead in giving in and persuaded Zhu Qiyu: "If today's position has been decided, my younger brother and concubine, as well as my younger brothers and sisters, should live in the Forbidden City."

At the same time, the concubine should be honored as the queen mother, canonized the younger brother and sister as the queen, and asked the younger brother not to push back. ”

When the officials heard this, they also knelt down together, and asked in unison.

Zhu Qiyu's cronies all knew that the emperor would not accept it, but they could only make gestures together.

Other civil and military officials really wanted the emperor to honor the empress dowager, canonize the empress, and enter the Forbidden City to live.

The dignified son of tomorrow, the biological mother is not the queen mother, the wife is not the queen, and all of them do not live in the Forbidden City, what kind of system is this?

What do you think after letting the foreign vassal come? What do the local officials in Beijing think? What do the subjects of the world think?

Those who know say that when Ziqian retired today, those who don't know, thought that it was Gong Rang Emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to treat Emperor Jingtai harshly.

Therefore, on the contrary, the ministers of the emperor's faction had a particularly resolute attitude, so they had to ask Zhu Qiyu to nod.

Zhu Qiyu himself is also a little difficult, it stands to reason that he has officially been conceded by Zhu Qizhen, and he is indeed a righteous emperor.

The pronoun of 'acting emperor' has been removed, and it is really a bit too much to say if you insist on not establishing a queen.

On the contrary, it is the queen mother, but she can indeed not stand, because the concubine has already passed herself to Queen Hu.

Facing his brother and ministers with a resolute attitude, Zhu Qiyu decided to slowly break them one by one.

First of all, in response to the proposal to honor Concubine Wu as the queen mother, Zhu Qiyu explained loudly to Zhu Qizhen and the ministers: "Brother Mingjian, the mother concubine has passed on her younger brother to Empress Zhen.

According to the etiquette law, now the younger brother is the concubine of Queen Zhen, and it is really inappropriate to respect his mother as the queen mother.

Besides, the mother concubine is indifferent to fame and fortune, and she is dedicated to the Tao, and she has no yearning for fame and fortune.

In the future, I will respect the Queen Mother, and I still ask my brother and the officials not to mention it again. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his face changed instantly.

Even if Zhu Qizhen is ambitious and talented, he knows what it means to be a concubine of Queen Zhen.

I didn't expect that my younger brother was not just pretending, but on such a grand occasion today, in front of the clan nobles and civil and military ministers, he had to sit on his identity as a son-in-law.
