His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

After the new emperor ascended the throne, all departments in the court were busy.

As a result, the envoys of various countries and the vassal kings from all over the world slowly began to leave the capital, which were all in charge of King Ying and King Jing respectively.

His Majesty just came forward again symbolically and set up a banquet for everyone to practice, so he didn't care about it.

As for anyone dishonest and refusing to leave?
That hit His Majesty's arms.

He was worrying about how to keep these vassal kings in Shangjing!

But those were all feudal lords separated by his father and grandfather, and most of them had no real power.

It's just a little more freedom with the year-old tribute from the people in the fief.

But Qin Ao felt that it was a waste of such a large space to support these people.

It's better to give them a pension in a place in the Shangjing circle, and give them a penny of the fief money.

You know, who among these princes doesn't have a mansion in Shangjing?

This can also save them from raising a bunch of subordinates in another prince's mansion in the fief, and worrying about them causing trouble for the place from time to time.

King Jing and the others who had sent away the envoys and vassal kings also began to think about when His Majesty would let them go to the fiefdom.

Rather than staying in Shangjing, they would rather drag their families to the fief and breathe the free air.

The King of England never thought about it.

He finally came back, and he hasn't stayed enough!
The King of England has been very interested in his elder brother recently, and he is also very interested in the eldest prince who looks mature at a young age.

That small appearance is simply a replica of the big brother back then.

Anyway, the northern border is stable, as long as the barbarians in the north don't commit crimes, it will be fine for him to stay in Beijing for ten or eight years, as long as he has to bring his wife and children.

The result was unexpected,

In the early morning of the next day, before King Yi and the others had time to raise the question of whether they should also leave Beijing, officials from the Ministry of Rites suddenly came out to impeach the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, but the rules of the ancestors are here. After your Majesty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager should move to the West Palace and repair the Central Palace to wait for the new master. Now that January has passed, the Empress Dowager is firmly in the Central Palace and refuses to move. This is not in line with the ancestral system! "

"Your Majesty, the subject also has a statement! Your Majesty intends to designate a woman with a foreign surname as a princess, but this woman is not only from a lowly background, but has no merit in the community. How can He De be honored as a princess? Please think twice!"

"The harem is not allowed to engage in government affairs. It is a major event to confer the honor of a prince and princess. Even the empress dowager has no right to control the canonization. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The courtiers feel that today is also strange.

In addition to Cen Shangshu himself, the two ministers in the Ministry of Rites went to attend the empress dowager.

Yes, it is said that His Majesty wants to confer a foreign surname as a princess, but who doesn't know what the Queen Mother means?

Isn't Cen Shangshu one of His Majesty's people?

His people stepped forward to bite the Queen Mother, could it be His Majesty's intention...

Although the Ministry of Rites came out today to say that these things are trivial, but to be honest, they don't want to interfere with the previous court too much. For example, when the Supreme Emperor succeeded to the throne, the power of the Wang family and the Li family in the court was so powerful that they overwhelmed the courtiers. They couldn't breathe.

Now that His Majesty is enthroned and a hundred flowers are blooming in the court, they don't want to go back to the time when one family was the only one.

His Majesty did not disappoint the courtiers with different minds, and accepted the courtiers' advice without any hesitation.

"It turned out that I did something bad with good intentions and violated the ancestral system. In this case, I will return the letter of invitation later, and the empress dowager's move to the palace. The Ministry of Rites and the inner government will supervise it as soon as possible, so that the empress dowager can live comfortably. "

This is just a small episode in today's court.

After the officials of the six ministries said that the affairs at hand were going well recently, the main event came.

Several old princes, King Yi and King Jing and others, as well as several princes who were newly appointed after His Majesty ascended the throne, secretly asked themselves when to go to the fiefdom.

The courtiers also wanted to know His Majesty's attitude on this matter.

But His Majesty said: "The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager are still here, if the younger brothers go away, they will inevitably miss each other, why not stay in Shangjing for a while."

As for how long to stay, let's talk.

Princes: For the first time, I feel that it is not a good thing that the father did not die...

*
just down court,
His majesty's intentions spread to the harem.

Officials from the Ministry of Rituals asked to see the Queen Mother in person, and they blamed the Empress Dowager for occupying the Zhongcui Palace because it was not suitable for the ceremony.

In Dajing, courtiers had the right to remonstrate, and those in power had to respond.

In contrast, His Majesty, who is suppressed by filial piety, is not suitable for officials from the Ministry of Rites to raise this matter.

Qin Ao only asked Eunuch Kang to find someone to impeach the Queen Mother, so as to make things difficult for her, so that she would stop staring at his harem all day long.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Kang hit the snake seven inches, and found the Ministry of Rites who was obviously on the right number.

Not to mention that this Minister of Rites is the father of the concubine Yihuang's natal sister-in-law!
Under the surprised eyes of the Queen Mother, Eunuch Li from the inner palace followed Mr. Mao from the Ministry of Rites, his calf trembled, but he still mustered up his courage and said:

"The servants will join the Empress Dowager, the Sixth West Palace and the Yongshou Palace are empty. Look at the regulations. The inner government will definitely cooperate..."

The anger in the Empress Dowager's eyes seemed to be able to kill people: "Your Majesty let me move the palace?"

Make room for that guy?
He sent someone to overhaul the Yanxi Palace, which has already exceeded the limit, and now he wants to drive her away even from the Zhongcui Palace?
"Going back to the empress dowager, it's not because your majesty asked you to move to the palace, it's because you violate the ancestral system if you don't move!"

Mr. Mao is known as the most inflexible person in the Ministry of Rites. Today, he is so spit in the court that he almost has to dig up the old things of the Queen Mother many years ago.

The empress dowager almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

She wanted to say why don't you go to Xianfu Palace to see if there is any violation of the ancestral system?
What made her even more angry was that she couldn't even grant Linglong the title of a titular princess.

Sure enough, without the Wang family, she, the queen mother, is just a vain name!

I knew so...

If she had known this earlier, she shouldn't have...

The queen mother's chest rose and fell violently, and she said coldly:

"The Ai family knows, get out!"

A teacup flew out with a "swoosh", and almost hit Mr. Mao on the forehead.

Lord Mao didn't even blink his eyes.

"I also ask the empress dowager to move to the palace as soon as possible, and the minister will leave!"

Come out of the Bell Palace,

Eunuch Li breathed heavily as if he had come to life.

"Oh, Lord Mao, what you say is really...really..."

He didn't even know what to say.

This is the current empress dowager. If this was a few years ago, Lord Mao would have to move his head!

Lord Mao has a righteous face: "As a minister, share your worries for the king, advise and advise you, and fear life and death!"

Eunuch Li was speechless and could only give a thumbs up.

You are still great!
The powerful Lord Mao successfully made the Queen Mother mad.

Chen Fulin knew the news because the imperial physician was suddenly invited by Zhongcui Palace.

"Why did the Ministry of Rites suddenly let the Queen Mother move to the palace?"

she asked puzzled.

Jin Yun didn't know about this, but Eunuch Jing knew.

Although the imperial concubine is not yet confinement, the entire harem is slowly under her control.

To be precise, it is under the control of Eunuch Jing.

Eunuch Kang had successfully applied eye drops in front of His Majesty, he knew that day.

Only the old fox would think of letting Mr. Mao, the stone in the latrine, deal with the Queen Mother.

Eunuch Jing didn't hide anything, and told his master the whole matter.

Chen Fulin was speechless for a long time.

What is she going to say?

Dogs can't change eating shit?

Ahem...it seems not elegant enough.

I don't know why, isn't it good for the empress dowager to live in the palace with peace of mind like before?
How could he be able to bear it for so many years before, but now he can't bear it.

Knowing that the other party was the first to respond, Chen Fulin didn't even intend to send someone to greet him.

Anyway, she hasn't confinement yet, so just pretend she doesn't know.
