Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 520 The sparrow is small and complete
The court meeting is over, and the matter seems to have been satisfactorily resolved.

However, the elders always feel that something is wrong.

After leaving the palace gate and returning to the yamen, sitting in his seat holding the teapot and pondering for a long time, many ministers realized where this strange feeling came from.

So peaceful!

There are a lot of things involved in the East Palace's exit from the court, including the previous dynasty and the rear palace, especially under the current complicated situation of the Tian family, it is even more sensitive.

For such a big event, in the past, if the court did not quarrel for ten days and a half months, there would never be a result.

What's more, at the court meeting, it's common for people to quarrel, blushing, and refusing to let anyone else go.

However, this time, it took only six or seven days from the submission of the memorandum to the dispatch to the various yamen, and then to the approval of the court meeting.

And, more importantly.

From beginning to end, this court discussion was perfunctory.

It should be said that whether it is from the aspect of etiquette or the level of treasury expenditure, this matter is very room for debate.

However, although the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households both stood up, their attitudes were obviously not so firm.

In the past, if the Seven Ministers didn't quarrel about this kind of thing, there would never be a result.

This time, the bosses were all amicable. There were conflicts and quarrels, so they stayed at the level of ministers. Even the cabinet scholars did not come forward, and they passed the court meeting peacefully.

In particular, when some knowledgeable elders reviewed the entire court meeting, they were surprised to find that the most critical and most important point in this matter was about the development of the crown prince. They, no one mentioned it.

The crown prince is the capital, the future king, and the director of the national economy. It can be said that what kind of person the crown prince is will largely affect the future state of the society.

This is a question worthy of detailed discussion in itself.

Now that Donggong barely turned three years old, wouldn't it be too early to leave the cabinet at this time?

You must know that whether it is a cabinet minister or a Hanlin scholar, they are all people who have read poetry and books. Once they have the opportunity to become the teacher of the East Palace, they will definitely give their best.

The enlightenment in the palace is simple literacy, and the great thing is to be familiar with hundreds of surnames and thousands of characters. If you add some Tang poetry and Song Ci, you will already attach great importance to it.

However, it is different when these imperial scholars come to teach.

It's not that they will deliberately put too much pressure on Donggong's studies, but that they themselves have extensive knowledge and are familiar with the scriptures. Even if they don't take the initiative to teach, in the usual lectures, they will unconsciously bring out a part of it, which is intangible. Among them, the pressure of schoolwork will increase.

Furthermore, although Daming values ​​concubines and concubines, he values ​​human relations even more. The relationship between mother and child is innate and cannot be violated. Therefore, before leaving the court to study, all princes and princesses are left to be raised by their biological mothers, even if this biological mother No matter how humble the origin is, it is the same.

Therefore, even if Sun Dowager is worried about her grandson, after raising her in the Compassionate Palace for a period of time, she has to be sent back to the Imperial Concubine Zhou's Palace.

But now, leaving the East Palace means that they need to move to another place. This is a requirement of etiquette. On the other hand, the Supreme Emperor is about to return to Beijing. As the Supreme Emperor's concubine, Zhou Guifei must also move to the South Palace.

Although the East Palace and the South Palace are separated by only one Donghua Gate, they live in two places after all.

The prince is weak, but he wants to separate the mother and the child. Is this against the family relationship?
This is also a major killer!
However, no one mentioned it, and this is the weirdest part.

The elders were surprised to find that, as the censor group with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Ming Dynasty, they lost their voices collectively at this court meeting.

I have to say, it's weird...

Cining Palace.

Although the Empress Dowager Sun is not a vigorous person, she is also quick in her actions. In just a few days, she has already brought the prince to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and has prepared all the necessary artifacts. In a few days, he planned to start teaching the prince.

Of course, the person teaching could not be the Queen Mother herself, but an eunuch named Tan Chang from the inner study.

It should be said that Empress Dowager Sun also took into account the negative lessons of Wang Zhenzhi, so she was very cautious when selecting people.

This Qin Chang, in his 30s this year, is also a failed scholar.

However, unlike Wang Zhen, he had already married before he entered the palace. Unlike Wang Zhen who entered the palace for chance, Tan Chang entered the palace because his wife was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment.

When eunuchs were recruited in the palace, they would be compensated with a sum of money. In order to treat his wife's illness, Qin Chang chose to castrate himself into the palace.

This alone is enough for Empress Dowager Sun to give him a high look.

After entering the palace, Tan Chang was sent to the Inner Academy for two years because he was familiar with the scriptures. Although he was quick-witted, he was not easy to exploit, modest and prudent, without any arrogance.

Because of this, Empress Dowager Sun chose him to teach the prince.

Moreover, out of prudent considerations, she purposely placed the teaching location in the Compassionate Ning Palace, so that she can take care of her from time to time.

In addition to the candidates for the lectures, Queen Mother Sun also made preparations for other aspects.

She knew in her heart that it was impossible for Zhu Qiyu to be so kind and keep the prince safe. As far as she was concerned, the only thing she could care about was the inner palace.

In terms of daily life, it is natural that Wan Zhen'er is responsible for taking care of the crown prince. This court lady also knows everything, so Empress Dowager Sun can rest assured.

But only based on Qin Chang and so, besides Qin Chang, she chose two other eunuchs to serve the prince together.

One is Liang Fang, this person, in fact, Queen Mother Sun has always been hesitant.

Contrary to Qin Chang, Liang Fang is best at catering to changes. This is very similar to the original Wang Zhen. The reason why she chooses such a person to be next to the prince is to deal with all kinds of dirty tricks in the palace.

However, unlike Wang Zhen, Liang Fang was illiterate and had never read a book.

This made Empress Dowager Sun reassured. Since she had never studied, she was greedy for money at best, and would not have Wang Zhen's "spirit of merit", so it was unlikely that she would directly intervene in the government affairs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

At the end of the balance, Empress Dowager Sun still used Liang Fang, without him, we will talk about the future, the most important thing is that the crown prince can grow up safely.

The last person was named Niu Yu.

This man is amazing, he is the oldest eunuch among these people.

Like Wang Zhen, Niu Yu used to be Zhu Qizhen's accompanying eunuch. He is both civil and military, loyal and cautious. It is precisely because of this character that he took the initiative to claim illness after the civil engineering change and handed over the authority of the imperial eunuch. , took the initiative to work as a sweeping eunuch in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and escaped the cleaning of the inner palace several times.

Originally, Empress Dowager Sun planned to send him to Nangong, but right now, it is obvious that the prince's side is more important.

Wan Zhen'er is a court lady, Qin Chang and Liang Fang are still young, so Niu Yu has to come to take care of the place.

This is the eunuch she prepared for the future East Palace. Although it is only enlightenment now, it is time for them to get acquainted with the crown prince gradually.

Right now, the little prince who has just turned three years old is playing back and forth in the palace.

This noble little doll has recently fallen in love with riding a big horse.

A real horse is definitely not allowed to be ridden, and a wooden horse is prepared, but His Royal Highness doesn't like it, he likes it that can move.

Therefore, the one being ridden right now is naturally ordered by the Empress Dowager Sun, and most of them are familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince's servant, Liang Fang.

Eunuch Liang was obviously happy with this matter, and tried his best to make His Highness the Crown Prince happy. However, when he climbed too fast for a while, Wan Zhen'er, the palace lady who was following behind, always frowned, for fear of falling the Crown Prince. Your Highness.

The little baby had a great time playing, and had no idea that he was about to enter a tense study life.

Empress Dowager Sun sat beside her, watching with a smile on her face, but her thoughts went nowhere.

Then, there was a sudden noise outside, and then, Wang Jin hurried in to report.

"Holy Mother, Eunuch Cheng, the chief priest, has arrived."
