Chapter 992 The Empress Dowager who refuses to return power
Su Mingzhe heard the news that Wang Yuyan had entered the palace. After finishing his studies for the day, he came to the Imperial Garden to see the beauty of his fairy sister.
By the way, take a look at this 'fairy sister', she is somewhat similar to Zou Yu.
Logically speaking, the young emperor and his concubines cannot meet before they get married.
However, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang adopted the daughters of these aristocratic families as adopted daughters according to the previous rules.
In this way, the daughters of these aristocratic families and the young emperor became one family, and there were no more strict requirements.
In the Song Dynasty, the popularity of "adopted son and adopted daughter" also benefited from the complete abolition of "slavery" in the Song Dynasty.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, "national slavery" was abolished.
If the powerful families in the Sui and Tang Dynasties wanted to own slaves, they could only buy Silla maids, Kunlun slaves, and Bodhisattvas as slaves.
By the Song Dynasty, slavery was completely abolished, and even Silla maids, Kunlun slaves, and Bodhisattva barbarians could no longer be used.
The powerful families had no choice but to adopt some "adopted sons" and "adopted daughters" to serve as their servants in order to avoid the supervision of the court.
The bad thing was that Cao Yanqing was thinking deeply about the city, but he also showed his expression behind the surface. He turned around and asked:
As a confidant of the Emperor Taiqian, Cao Yanqing was very well-informed and reported directly:
It’s no wonder that before the Great Emperor ascended the throne, he retreated into a ‘counterattack and reckoning’ with the Tai Huang Tai Qian.
With the emperor's unintentional support, the beloved concubine Liu provoked and humiliated Cao Yan in various ways.
No matter who you put yourself under, you can tolerate it.
When Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty passed away, did you decide whether you would be crown prince? As the empress dowager, you had no two choices:
"Does he know which man from aristocratic family the mother-in-law values more highly?"
It cannot be said that, from a historical perspective, the task that Meng entrusted to you by the Emperor Taiqian was very wrong, allowing the Song Dynasty to continue its reign for a hundred years.
Su Mingzhe, a confidant of the Emperor Tai Qian, was now assigned to serve at the Emperor's side.
Yasheng is not Mencius.
People can know what the reason is.
The Queen Mother became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she replied warmly:
Su Mingzhe was a veteran of the Eight Dynasties who had served Song Yingzong and Song Shenzong. After receiving the emperor's orders, he ran all the way to the Cisheng Palace where the Taihuang Taiqian lived, and relayed the emperor's words.
In the evening, he was surrounded by old eunuchs under seventy years old.
When Liang Douzhi heard that the mother of the Queen Mother was ill, his face lost all expression.
Logically speaking, Cao Yan was treated like this by brothers Zhezong and Huizong of Song Dynasty, so he should have been disappointed with the Zhao family of Xiao Song Dynasty.
When Su Mingzhe saw that Liang Douzhi had no expression of 'resentment' on his face, he could guess whether the emperor was satisfied with Meng's family or not, and in the end he could only say 'only' and go in.
"Now that I have only had a few bad days, the great emperor does not understand the hard work of being a grandmother who listens to politics behind the curtain, but wants him to return to power!"
"I'm already 80 years old, but I'm still working hard to help the old Zhao family maintain the status quo. Is it difficult for me?"
And the 'icing on the cake' is far more heart-warming than 'helping someone in need'.
Liang Douzhi played with the men for a while and found that only Wang Yuyan was there. Even Li Qingzhao and several other beauties with stunning looks were also there. He was not surprised at all. He called the eunuch Su Mingzhe beside him and asked:
Only you yourself know.
When previous generations studied that period of history, they believed that the Queen Mother delayed the emperor's wedding for eight years not to continue to control the government.
"Doesn't this mean that my mother-in-law wants Meng to be her queen?"
"It took me seven or eight years, with the help of Sima Gong and others, to correct the chaos, eliminate the traitors, and expel Wang Anshi's followers from the court."
One of the more famous ones in history is that the empress of Song Renzong especially liked to find some beautiful and charming women, and after accepting them as "adopted daughters", she let these adopted daughters serve Song Renzong on her behalf to please the emperor.
The great emperor now wants to return power, which makes your heart filled with anger:
“Isn’t that a typical burning of bridges?”
Why do you want to compete with yourself for a man?
Watching Su Mingzhe leave, Cao Yanqing silently recalled historical data in his heart.
Seven, bite the bullet and let the eldest grandson, who is still in his infancy, succeed to the throne.
The dignified Emperor of the Song Dynasty could only see some palace servants during the day.
As a result, although the position of the emperor was decided this year, the actual time of the emperor's marriage was delayed for eight years.
Yes, when the Emperor Taiqian drives to the west of Hexi, Meng will have an extremely difficult life because he is favored by the Emperor.
It was also the person who ordered "Deposed Taiqian" to find Zhao Gou and retreat to form the Southern Song Dynasty court.
"I heard that the Emperor Taiqian asked the 70th grandson of Yasheng to sit with him on one side."
There is only one reason why the Queen Mother delayed her wedding.
However, those men from aristocratic families all knew that as the Emperor Tai Qian grew older, sooner or later the emperor would belong to him.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, you were twice deposed from the position of "Tai Qian". It can be said that you were humiliated to the extreme.
"That's it, that's all. Meng's family is bad. Liang Weijian, he's going to ask his mother-in-law. Now that the position has been decided, when will the canonization ceremony be held?"
It just so happened that when the small building in the Song Dynasty was about to collapse, no one remembered the "waste queen" and invited you to take charge of the situation.
This practice in the Song Dynasty continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Although today's Xiao Song Dynasty is governed by the Emperor Taiqian behind the curtain.
"Yeah?"
"Liang Weijian, he went to report to the officials. I am young now. It is too early to talk about marriage. Just let me wait patiently."
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
A few years ago, the great emperor found out about Meng's big mistake and had you crippled.
Su Mingzhe came to the Royal Garden, and the daughters of aristocratic families who were playing came to see him one after another.
Cao Yanqing was not surprised by the news.
According to the etiquette system, once the emperor gets married, it is equivalent to holding a 'coming-of-age ceremony'.
"Cao Yanqing, let him go and ask why there are not many beauties out there."
First, inherit the fine tradition of the Xiao Song Dynasty, and let your beloved eldest son inherit the throne.
In the original history, the Tai Huang Tai Qian kept delaying the canonization ceremony in the name of worrying that the emperor was too old and would get close to men too early, which would affect his physical development.
Therefore, before those men from aristocratic families learned that the emperor disliked visiting the Imperial Garden, they often put on makeup and powder and came to have a "tryst" with the emperor.
Isn’t it okay to have the late emperor’s concubines accompany you when you are chanting sutras and praying for blessings?
He waited until the Tai Huang Tai Qian fell seriously ill and knew that he was going to die. He didn't even care about living with the Great Emperor, so he hurriedly decided on the position of the Empress of the Meng family and held a small ceremony for the Emperor to be canonized as the Empress. .
The old people around the great emperor had long been driven out of the palace.
Cao Yanqing thought that the Emperor would be so direct in his questioning today. He hesitated for a moment and then said bravely:
In the end, the Emperor Tai Qian chose the younger grandson instead of the rich but not famous eldest son.
At this time, the Tai Huang Tai Qian, who listened behind the curtain, should return power to the emperor.
"Official family, Madam Low is seriously ill today. The Queen Mother has invited monks to chant sutras and pray for Madam. These ladies are all accompanying her at Cisheng Palace."
In history, Mengshi, the 70th grandson of the sub-sage, became the empress of the great emperor.
Upon hearing this, the Taihuang Taiqian knew that the Emperor was asking about the wedding, but when he would return to power, and his face immediately straightened up.
At that time, everyone in the court looked at you.
When the Manchus came and slavery reappeared, "adopted sons" and "adopted daughters" gradually disappeared.
