The Empress Dowager Dou was awakened by the noise coming from the direction of Weiyang Palace.
"What's going on?" Empress Dowager Dou immediately called for someone to ask.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, something happened in the Imperial Ancestral Temple..." A eunuch replied respectfully: "It is said that the children of Pingluhou and Honghou took advantage of the lax defense and changed defenses. They penetrated into the Imperial Ancestral Temple from the Neishi Yamen and went straight to the Emperor's clothes.
A place of worship!”
"Ah..." Queen Mother Dou exclaimed: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this?!"
Immediately she lowered her head and said, "Go and ask Mr. Bo to come and meet with the Ai family..."
For the Queen Mother of the Han family, there was no bigger problem than the problems in the ancestral temple.
When Empress Lu came to the imperial court to take the throne, she still had to pay homage to the high temple from time to time, relying on the authority of Emperor Gao to subjugate her.
After all, the reason why the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother is because she is the late emperor's queen.
The reason why the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager is because she is the mother of the late emperor.
Without the late Emperor, they were nothing.
Just an old woman.
Now, if something happens to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, no matter how it ends, it will be a nightmare for the East Palace.
Because this will make people all over the world have doubts about the East Palace.
If this chaos originated from the East Palace, it would be even worse!
Although there was no emperor in the Han Dynasty who was disrespectful to the Queen Mother.
But it appears repeatedly in history books!
Far away is Duke Zhuang of Zheng, and near is Qin Shihuang.
The emperor would not do anything to the queen mother.
But ministers may not.
Mrs. Dou will never forget how those heroes dealt with her and her brothers during the Taizong period.
In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, Zhu Lu appeared again.
The founding fathers literally held knives to the necks of their sisters and brothers.
Now, all those original heroes are dead.
However, the emerging heroes are even more terrifying.
Soon, Empress Dowager Bo came to Dou, surrounded by eunuchs and maids.
After some simple courtesy and greetings, Mrs. Dou took Empress Dowager Bo's hand and said, "There is something going on at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and it is the fault of the Ai family. The Ai family has no shame to go see the emperor and the ministers. Please express your gratitude to the Ai family!"
"
When things have reached this point, the conclusion is obvious.
The descendants of King Yuan ran to the Ancestral Temple to cry.
Alarming the spirit of the Supreme Emperor enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
The ancestors and gods looked down at Jiuquan, and they must have understood the ins and outs of this matter.
Then who caused the descendants of King Yuan to cry in the temple?
It is undoubtedly her, the Queen Mother.
Because she was slow to make a decision and was hesitant.
As a result, the descendants of King Yuan were filled with resentment and cried before the Supreme Emperor.
The ancestors and clans under Jiuquan must have known each other about this matter.
The souls of Emperor Gao and Emperor Taizong may be angry!
These are the simplest thoughts and thoughts in Mr. Dou's heart right now.
It is also the inevitable association that people in today's society have when encountering such a thing.
The Han people firmly believe that people have spirits after death, and their ancestors gaze down at their families and descendants under the Nine Springs.
The rising incense and the offered blood food are the keys to keeping the souls of the ancestors safe under the Nine Springs.
And anyone who disturbs the soul peace of our ancestors is a serious sin even among the people.
As for the royal family…
The emperor must have too much power to sue his ancestors and even apologize to his ancestors.
And as the culprit and instigator, the Empress Dowager.
Her authority and face are gone today.
In the Han family, the key to the balance of power between the East Palace and the Weiyang Palace was that the East Palace could narrow the authority of the late emperor and even the ancestors.
If the emperor disobeys, the Queen Mother can force him to go to Gaomiao, Taizong Temple or even Renzong Temple to face the wall and repent.
The emperor could not resist yet.
To resist is to be unfilial.
However, if the Queen Mother is immoral, it will not fall into this category.
The word "dismoral" is undoubtedly the best word invented by ancient Chinese politicians.
If the emperor loses his virtue, he will lose the world and even be exiled to the four wildernesses.
For example, Tang and Wu released Jie, and King Wu attacked Shang.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countless scenes of ministers expelling kings occurred.
And what about the Queen Mother's misconduct?
Apart from other things, Qin Shihuang imprisoned his biological mother on the pretext that the Queen Mother was immoral.
In the Han Dynasty, although filial piety was advocated to govern the world.
But the ministers will definitely not be lenient to the immoral Queen Mother.
In order to avoid the emergence of another Queen Lu, causing trouble to the imperial court.
Ministers can do anything.
I'm in a hurry, it's not difficult to learn from Liu Xingju and Xia Houying!
Back then, Liu Xingju and Xia Houying caught the young emperor's brother and pushed him into an alley and hacked him to death!
Even if there are loyal ministers and armed guards on the left and right, shouting: The emperor is here!
They were just chopped into pieces together.
The lessons learned from the past are fresh in our minds.
Mrs. Dou even saw with her own eyes the soldiers of the Southern Army who were loyal to the Young Emperor holding weapons and blocking the palace gate and Emperor Taizong's car.
Although this matter is not serious yet.
But for Mr. Dou, it was enough.
"From now on, the Ai family should stay away from the Xiude Palace..." Mrs. Dou stood up, trembling, as if she had grown older all of a sudden: "The Queen Mother should move in to the Yongshou Palace..."
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare!" Mrs. Bo immediately knelt down and said, "With the queen mother here, my daughter-in-law dares to have such hope, and the emperor has always been filial, so he must take some measures..."
Mrs. Dou felt a little more at ease now.
She was still very satisfied with the emperor's grandson.
He is filial and sensible, and knows his grandmother's preferences, so he does everything he wants.
Even the funny brothers of the Chen family changed under the emperor's discipline and became the pillars of the country.
These past events made Mr. Dou convinced that his grandson would definitely turn to him.
So, she forced a smile and said: "I hope so..."
But I still had no confidence in my heart.
She leaned on crutches and held Queen Mother Bo's hand and said, "Even if the emperor doesn't blame Aijia, Aijia will feel uncomfortable..."
"As the Liu family's wife, it is a sin to not be able to build the ancestral temple, bring peace to the ancestors, and ensure the well-being of the country!" Dou said, "The Ai family should shut up behind closed doors to think about their faults and cultivate their moral character. Things like these in the East Palace will not happen again in the Ai family in the future.
If you interfere, leave everything to the Queen Mother!"
"The Ai family only wishes to recite the Tao Te Ching every day and pray for the world and the emperor before the gods..."
"My mother's words are serious..." Mrs. Bo is indeed a good daughter-in-law, very filial, and said with relief: "My mother inherited the legacy of Taizong, assisted the first emperor, and assisted the emperor. Her contribution has been in the country. You can't retreat because of this small mistake, otherwise how will the world view it?
Where is the emperor?"
Mrs. Dou then nodded slightly and said: "In this case, the Ai family will still stay in the Yongshou Hall, but move to the west wing, this east alley, and the Queen Mother will move in. It just so happens that the Ai family is also bored all day long, so in her free time
, it’s better to ask the Queen Mother to come and talk!”
"No!" Empress Dowager Bo bowed immediately. (To be continued.)
