Spring, the first month, Ding Chou, forgive the world.
In the second month of the second month, Yisi, a green snake appeared on the throne of the emperor. In Guisi, strong winds, rain, hail, and thunderbolts uprooted more than a hundred large trees. The emperor was shocked, and ordered the ministers and ministers below to seal the affairs.
Sitting in the middle of the court meeting, the little fat man frowned. A few days ago, some servants in the palace saw a green snake entwined on the royal seat, which made the little fat man pale with fright. Not long after, there was strong wind, thunder and lightning, and hail again.
, blowing down dozens of trees outside the palace, the little fat man could no longer sit still, and immediately summoned the ministers to ask questions. As the emperor's master, He Xiu appeared in the court meeting for the first time.
When everyone saw He Xiu, they saluted him with great admiration. Only the old lieutenant looked at him angrily.
"There is a green snake sitting on the throne, and there is a strong wind, rain and hail. I don't know what to explain?"
The little fat man asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty!" But He Xiu stood up, straightened his back, raised his head and said: "I heard that when we founded the country and inherited the family, villains should not use them. Today's meritorious officials have been away for a long time and have not received any title. The villains will enjoy their personal favors.
Da Feng, this is shocking! Taiwei Liu Ju’s moral character is not enough to convince others. During the reign of Emperor Xiaoheng, he served as the Third Duke. There were frequent earthquakes and solar eclipses. This is not worthy of his moral character, so of course he must resign!"
"With these words, the world will be in great order. Your Majesty recruited this person as the Third Duke last year, so there were snow disasters in winter, and today's wind and hail, so he has a weak virtue and is in a high position!" After He Xiu finished speaking, he sat back down.
The old lieutenant almost jumped up in anger. Why is this old man carrying all the natural and man-made disasters on my back? He stood up suddenly, looked at the little fat man, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I have heard that in the prosperous days of Zhou, the funeral of Duke Zhou was not as good as the ceremony, and the sky was powerful... When the king went out of the suburbs, it was raining, the wind was blowing, and the grain was gone..."
Sure enough, the old lieutenant started talking directly from Zhou. The little fat man listened with great interest. He Xiu and other party members turned black and listened helplessly. The old lieutenant talked for more than half an hour before finally speaking.
This dynasty, speaking of it, the meaning is very simple, that is, Emperor Xiaoheng's funeral was too light, so the heaven moved the power. This principle is the same as the original Zhou Gong's funeral was not as good as the ceremony, but the heaven moved the power!
The little fat man barely understood and couldn't help but frown. Could it be true?
This is much more reasonable than what He Xiu said!
The emperor hurriedly ordered the three princes to offer sacrifices to the imperial mausoleum to calm down the power of heaven.
He has not yet been crowned, so he is not qualified to go to the ancestral temple and the imperial mausoleum to worship.
Suddenly, Yang Ci stood up and stepped forward and said: "I heard that the aphids are only snakes, and the women are auspicious. The Empress Dowager Fu Wei has made plans for the palace and supported the establishment of saints. Your Majesty is the son of a man, but Dong Gui has no real queen. You are isolated in the empty palace, and you are worried.
Feeling in the heart of heaven, if there is a disease caused by fog and dew, how should your majesty look to see the world? Therefore, I petition to make Dong Gui the queen mother, and establish a palace mother ceremony to show the courtesy of people and ministers. The disasters of the common people can be eliminated, and the country can only be immortal!
"
As soon as these words came out, the whole temple fell silent. The little fat man frowned and looked at Yang Ci below. Empress Dowager Dou was at the side. She lowered her head and looked at Yang Ci, but said nothing and closed her eyes. The little fat man
He sneered in his heart, how could he not know what Yang Ci was thinking, and if he wanted to make his mother the queen mother, was it really for his own good and the good of his mother?
It’s not that Empress Dowager Dou is bent on favoring herself, and her reputation is too high, which has become a weapon to restrict party members. Therefore, she wants to support Empress Dowager Dong. Although Dong will also favor herself, she does not have the prestige of Empress Dowager Dou. Her father is famous.
Dou Wu is all over the world, and her husband is not Emperor Xiaoheng. As long as Empress Dowager Dong comes to power, Empress Dowager Dou will no longer be able to restrict them in the temple!
The little fat man wanted to object, but he couldn't object. Let's not talk about whether his mother would be sad. Speaking of filial piety, he couldn't object. This was his biological mother. If he didn't seal his biological mother, what would the world say about him?
The little fat man hated these scheming party members in his heart, but he had no way to object. He was about to agree. Suddenly, the old lieutenant stood up, looked at Yang Ci opposite, shook his head, and said: "Li said:
"As a man, the latter is the son of the latter, and the Emperor Xiaohe never fails to show his kindness to the Dou family. In his previous life, he thought it was a good talk. Now that Emperor Huan is his father, how can he not regard the Queen Mother as his mother..."
The old Taiwei did not disappoint the little fat man. He directly talked about it from Mu Zongxiao and the emperor. Yang Ci had a big mouth but could not speak. The little fat man was very happy. In the temple, he finally had a confidant who could speak for him. The old Taiwei
After talking like this for another half an hour, he finally concluded: "May your Majesty admire Yu Yu's transformation and think about the "Kaifeng" to comfort his mother."
For half an hour, what he wanted to say was very clear, that is, since the emperor regarded Emperor Xiaoheng as his father, he should regard Empress Dowager Dou as his mother, and he could not keep away from Empress Dowager Dou because of his biological mother.
The little fat man nodded, stood up with great gratitude, and said: "What the old Taiwei said is absolutely true. Since I entered the palace, Empress Dowager Dou has regarded me as if she had given birth to a son, and I also regard me as her biological mother. I can't repay the Empress Dowager's great love."
, Gentlemen, don't say too much!" The emperor had said this, so naturally the officials could no longer say anything. They could only lament, and the eyes they looked at the old lieutenant turned out to be even more unkind.
The old lieutenant ignored him, raised his head, smiled at the little fat man, and sat down.
To be honest, the little fat man became more and more respectful to this friend who often chatted with him. He smiled and winked at him. He Xiu was furious. He looked at the old man next to him. The more he looked at him, the angrier he became. What a thief.
, How dare you bewitch the old man and his disciples? If he hadn't taken care of the little fat man's prestige, he might have started fighting with the old lieutenant now!
Although the little fat man could not confer the title of Empress Dowager Dong for the time being, he could not hurt his mother's heart, so he ordered that Dong Gui's brother dotes on him and become the Empress Dowager.
Dong Chong was also his uncle. He had loved him since he was a child. It was only natural that the little fat man wanted to confer him a title, and the officials did not object.
This is how this court meeting ended.
The little fat man originally wanted to talk to the four princes about spring planting, but the old lieutenant really delayed it for too long, and the court meeting could not be held until night, so he had no choice but to give up. The little fat man decided to go back tomorrow.
Talk about it.
After returning to the palace, she went to see Mrs. Dong, but Mrs. Dong was not there. The little fat man couldn't laugh or cry, but she was only a queen mother. How could she be like this? After waiting for a long time at the entrance of the palace, Mrs. Dong just ordered him to come in. The little fat man came in with a smile.
After entering the palace, Mrs. Dong closed her eyes and said nothing. The little fat man waved his hands and asked everyone to leave. Then he jumped behind Mrs. Dong and carefully beat her shoulders.
"Hmph, why are you still here?"
"Go find your biological mother!"
The little fat man chuckled and said, "Mom, don't be angry, this is all a temporary solution." Ms. Dong opened her eyes, which were a little red, and said, "Expedient? Dou Wu is already dead, why?"
Do you still want Dou Miao to come to the court? Do you think my mother is not as good as her? That’s right, she is the daughter of a wealthy family and three monarchs, unlike me, who comes from a poor family..."
Seeing that his mother was about to cry, the little fat man became anxious. He silently leaned into Dong's ear and said, "Mom, I still can't fully control the affairs of the government now. It's just because I'm too young and can't speak. I only have Empress Dowager Dou." Before the court, I used my prestige to suppress the courtiers so that I could say a few words. If it were not for Empress Dowager Dou, I might have to stay in the palace all day long like when I first entered the palace, not allowed to go out..."
"Then Yang Ci contacted you with no good intentions. He wanted to use you to suppress Empress Dowager Dou and leave me with no supporters in the temple. Those policies were only implemented after Empress Dowager Dou agreed. Without her, all the ministers would You can make up your own mind, what else can I do?"
After the little fat man explained, Mrs. Dong's eyes suddenly widened and she said, "Oh! I almost did something bad for you! That thief sent someone to contact me before. I thought he was a gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be such a traitor. Lang, catch him and kill him!" The little fat man smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "If I kill him, how can the officials stop?"
"So what? Didn't you kill Dou Wu? Are you still afraid of him?"
"Hush! Mom, be silent! That Dou Wu died in Hou Lan's hands, what does it have to do with me!" The little fat man was so frightened that he almost jumped up. Mrs. Dong rolled her eyes at him, then nodded without saying anything.
"Mom, don't say this anymore. As for Yang Ci, you continue to contact him. Don't show any hostility. It's best to do as before and don't ask anything from him. If he asks you to do something, tell me. That’s it…”
Mother and son were discussing quietly in Yongle Palace.
