The former question seemed to be just a very casual chat between mother and son, but the latter question, even if it was only four words, revealed undisguised questioning and ridicule, so that except for Chu Kuan who lowered his hands and lowered his head, the rest of the palace people
The chamberlains instantly showed horrified expressions. In contrast, the Queen Mother only frowned slightly.
"It's interesting or not. This is something you only know after you have done it. When they were their age, you were already pro-government and king of the world, but they still only know how to tit-for-tat with each other and don't know the specific affairs at all."
"My mother was joking. When I first came to power, I made a lot of jokes, not too small. To put it bluntly, if you hadn't helped me block every time the ministers made trouble, you would have calmly blocked it for me.
After that, maybe because I was acting wildly and arrogantly at that time, if it were another emperor, I might be overthrown..."
"Emperor!" The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed. She scolded her sternly. Seeing that the Emperor finally seemed more serious, she looked left and right. When she saw the female officer Yuquan, she immediately gestured to the left and right, and the people in the palace hurriedly filed out.
, Yuquan was escorted back, and Chu Kuan also bowed and bowed, and retreated without saying a word. It was not until the curtain of Dongnuan Pavilion fell that she patted the handrail and stood up.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"It is human nature to be young and ignorant and do wrong things. But is it necessary for the Queen Mother to use a young foreign minister to provoke your two grandsons? What's more, I heard that Zhang Shou and Yingying came to Qingning that day.
When he was in the palace, the little eunuch who framed him was almost beaten to death without asking any questions? Who does the queen intend to protect? "
The Queen Mother's face became increasingly irritated and angry: "Don't forget, Wang Datou has already asked Zheng Huai'en who is the chief envoy!"
"That idiot has no virtue or talent, and he still wants to marry Yingying. Not to mention that his father is King Sihe, even if he himself is King Sihe, he can get away as far as he wants!" The emperor raised his eyebrows impatiently.
, and then said calmly, "It's the queen, right?"
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment until the Emperor said the next sentence: "The imperial attendant who went to Rongshui Village to shoot arrows to scare people was also assigned by the Queen. I just don't understand. She, the majestic Lord of the Sixth Palace, does this kind of thing.
Is it necessary to do something like this? Even if she doesn't like Yingying, is it necessary to do such a thing that makes her hate the whole house?"
Keenly hearing that the four characters "henwujiwu" and "henwujiwu" were distinctly Zhu Ying's style, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning: "Yingying knows?"
"I didn't ask if she knew, but if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing about it. I suppressed the assassin's matter, and even Mingyue took the blame. Wang Datou also tried it in a way that saves trouble.
Zheng Huaien himself admitted it. It seems that the queen has no connection at all, but God knows that you know that I know it!"
When the emperor said this, he laughed angrily, "She already has two sons, why can't she be smarter? And you, the queen mother, those two boys can calm down so easily, why do you still tease them?
"
Knowing that the emperor did not appear to be furious, but in fact he was clearly extremely angry, the Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "You have not appointed a prince yet. I know that you do not want to establish a son, but think that
The two older ones are not so ideal, but they know full well that raising a child may cause turmoil in the world, so they have been hesitant."
Seeing the emperor narrowing his eyes slightly and then turning his head to avoid her gaze, the queen mother stepped forward and faced the emperor directly without evading: "Do you think it was you who forced King Lu to death?
You lost your only brother. Since then, you have been estranged from me, and you can never go back to the past... But why do you think I returned to power so readily?"
"You are the emperor, but he is just a prince. He fights with you everywhere, but you don't bother to fight with him at all. You only have Emperor Taizu in your eyes, and at most you include Emperor Taizong, Yingzong and your father. Do you think I will
Do you value him more than you? With all the bloody examples in this dynasty, how could I possibly favor the youngest son, let alone one who is looking for death!"
The emperor listened silently to the Queen Mother's words, which seemed to come from the bottom of her heart. His face remained motionless, as if all his expressions were frozen.
"If the eldest prince or the second prince were like you, I wouldn't have to take such pains! What's the point of only fighting in a nest? Let them know that there is a boy outside the palace who is younger than them, but he has already gained your trust and respect.
Besides, he is also Yingying’s fiancé, so they should always know how to make progress, right? The second son went to see Zhang Kang to find out what our military weapons are like."
The Queen Mother paused for a moment, then took a few steps back and slowly sat on a chair nearby: "As for the Queen...she had deliberately promoted her reputation as a virtuous person, and her direct grandfather was the Emperor Yingzong who selected the princes for the princes.
As the emperor's master, your father still has some respect for the Yingzong after he became the emperor, so this marriage is naturally quite suitable for you when you return to the throne of Shaoguo."
Regarding this explanation, the emperor shrugged sarcastically: "To be honest, I would rather you have a suitable niece or niece by then."
Even though she knew that her son was just venting her grievances, the Queen Mother still laughed and said: "I have an elder sister, an elder brother and a younger brother, but only my elder sister raised a good son like Zhu Jing. For the remaining nieces, I can't help but laugh.
Even one more glance makes me feel upset. How do you want me to marry you back and become the queen?"
"That's Yingying. Although she looks good as a junior, she is not suitable to be a queen or a princess in the future. Her temper can turn the palace or the palace upside down if something happens. Look at the eldest prince and the second prince.
The prince knows that Yingying is so beautiful, but although they both love to see her appearance, neither of them likes her."
"They are not worthy of her either!" The emperor smiled half-heartedly, and finally said calmly, "I have been patient for many years, and for the sake of my two sons, I don't want to cause such an earth-shattering situation as the deposed queen.
So, on the queen’s side, I hope my mother will do more for me. In addition, I don’t want news about Mingyue’s assassin to be spread around.”
"Does she think that by framing everything, everything will be covered up?"
Having said this, the emperor simply turned around and looked directly at the Queen Mother, and said without any reservation: "I know that the Queen Mother does not like Concubine Yu, nor does she like Yingying's mother, but Concubine Yu has no son, and she has never imagined that she will be the queen. Yingying
My mother is even more stubborn and disdains conspiracy. Since my mother likes Yingying so much, why can’t she let go of the past?”
"In the final analysis, it was me and Zhu Jing who were wrong about what happened back then."
Seeing the emperor striding away after saying these words, the Queen Mother held the armrest tightly with her right hand, and it took a long time to swallow back the question that came to her lips. At that moment, the Queen Mother's plaintive cry when she came to her seemed to be in front of her.
Reappear.
"Even if Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo really sacrificed their lives to let the Emperor and the others go first, isn't that what they should do? If it weren't for their love affair with each other, how could the Emperor and Mr. Zhao Guo wear white dragon fish clothes and almost die?
After the crisis, three children were born at the same time. Who knows whether it was the two girls who were difficult to distinguish, or whether it was the three children who couldn't tell who was who?"
"Mother, Concubine Yu is the only one favored by me, so I can tolerate it, but she and Mrs. Zhao Guo are colluding to the point of causing such a big incident, but I can't bear it! If there are any rumors about a hidden gem among the people in the future,
What kind of face does the emperor have, what kind of face do you have, and what kind of face do I, the queen, have?"
The Queen Mother sighed with regret. She said that she had found out the original matter. She also disguised herself and carefully questioned Wen Po, Zhang Shou's current adoptive mother Wu, and even forced Concubine Yu and questioned Jiu.
Mom, she finally concluded that it was two girls who got together, but that was a thorn in her heart after all.
Therefore, she has never been very fond of Princess Yongping, but because of the emperor's preference for her, she has always treated her a little more favorably than other princesses. On the contrary, Zhu has been innocent since she was a child, and is not afraid of anything.
Ying, she saw in her the shadow of her sister who had always been very creative since she was a child, and almost without thinking she concluded that she must have the blood of the Zhu family.
As for Zhang Shou, who was raised among the people but was so well-groomed, she instinctively felt a little flustered from the first time she saw him. Even if she learned that he was not only good-looking but also talented, she couldn't do anything because of Zhu.
Ying was already sure that he was her future husband, so Aiwu and Wu developed some close feelings.
After sitting there for half an hour, with a slight cough, Yuquan crept in, knelt down and saluted in front of the Queen Mother, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, for the merit of capturing the traitor, ordered the cabinet to draft an edict, and ordered Zhang Shou to be the Sixth Chief of Staff.
He served as a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, and praised his good deeds at the left of Zhan Shifu."
The Queen Mother couldn't believe her ears and stood up: "Those great bachelors actually listened to him? Even if some of them were willing to make decrees against their will, wouldn't those in the Sixth Section Gallery refuse to refute them?
?”
Yuquan immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Only Wu Ge was in the cabinet at that time, and he wrote the imperial edict himself."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she raised her eyebrows: "It was he who was the last time Zhang Shou was admitted as a doctor of the Imperial Academy. This time, Zhang Shou was also a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy. It was also him who was Zuo Zanshan of Zhan Shifu. He knew that Amitabha relied on the holy will to formulate decrees. This great scholar
Is this all you can do?"
"Now that the East Palace has not yet been decided, Zhan Shiguan gives the title to the civil servants in the court as a fixed grade. How can he just give it to a newly promoted doctor of the Imperial Academy? What's more, there is also a Hanlin minister... Does he know?
, scholars all over the world will be shaken by this!"
Different from the fright and anger of the Empress Dowager, he took a trip to Qingning Palace to vent his emotions, and at the same time built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly and finalized the edict. The emperor was in a good mood.
Liu Kelang rejected? Haha, for someone who really has such strong skills in the matter, he would not mind sending a few people to serve as county magistrates, just to supplement the local official team with poor talents. You know, if it were not Zhang Shou, he might not be able to
Catch all the traitors and imprison them in the Shuntian Yamen Prison for real. For this reason, he has been delaying the approval of Qiu Jue.
Since the Queen Mother wants Zhang Shou to stimulate the eldest prince and the second prince, she should give them more official posts!
Who makes Zhang Shou a lucky general, capable and blessed at the same time?
What's wrong with the Hanlin Academy? A newly promoted lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, who was also a doctor of Guozi before, can't even manage Banshan Hall. This kind of person who can't even educate can be a lecturer, and he has great achievements.
