Jingming

Chapter 34

Zhu Houcong shook his head: "That's not all. The enthronement edict clearly listed 81 new policies, a large number of abolition and restraint of internal ministers included 18 articles, 11 articles were for the abolition of some officials appointed by the emperor's brother, and the other 4 were for the emperor's brother. And the appointment of military officers, 4 articles clearly stated that Zhengde’s government was corrupt. After the first article of amnesty, the second and third articles are to rehabilitate officials who have been suppressed in the past 16 years..."

He gave a brief introduction before he said: "This position was passed on to me by the emperor, and when I rule the world, the imperial edict first said that the emperor had so many abuses in one dynasty, and despise the emperor?"

After hearing what he said, Queen Mother Zhang was angry and wronged.

Even if the son had messed around a bit before, Yang Ting and the others really didn't give his son any sympathy for the enthronement edict, which was close to the new king's final judgment on his predecessor.

Such a courtier, is he ashamed to say that he is a loyal minister?
But the emperor also said that the great position was passed on to him by the emperor brother.

Is it Zhaoer?Obviously, I chose you!
"The emperor... ordered them to change it later?" Queen Mother Zhang asked first.

Zhu Houcong sighed: "Naturally we have to change. The emperor has a kindness to me, and I can't ignore the name of the emperor."

Empress Dowager Zhang knew that he was also implying to herself that he would repay his kindness.But if there is any unpleasantness in the future, he dares to keep pressing the necks of the courtiers to make them obey, let alone in the harem?

There are very few pure "family banquets" in the palace, and Zhu Houcong's show also has his own purpose.

If he didn't know the tricks of Concubine Shao's emigration, Zhu Houcong would have just stopped by to visit and say hello while running.

But now, he must remind Queen Mother Zhang.

Now that he has ascended the throne, it is a blessing for Empress Dowager Zhang to keep a low profile. This is not the stage for her to follow the will and participate in major events.Now in the palace, there can only be one voice.

First expressing "En" to Gu Quan's son's posthumous name, Zhu Houcong said: "Queen Mother, my nephew still has something to discuss with Queen Mother."

"...What's the matter, please tell the emperor." Empress Dowager Zhang had a vague premonition.

Zhu Houcong said with a smile: "Grandma is getting old, it seems inappropriate to live in Weiyang Palace. One grandma is blind and has been suffering from illnesses for many years. This requires frequent movement of the body, so the courtyard is wider. Second, When my mother and the others arrive in Beijing, they will also need to arrange a place to live in the palace. After all, Weiyang Palace is the residence of the harem, so my nephew will probably be drafted and married next year? Grandmother is old, so she won’t be able to move around by then.”

Queen Mother Zhang heard him bluntly raised this question, and slowly put down her chopsticks.

Concubine Shao was a little scared, but when Zhu Houcong squeezed her hand, she tightly pursed her lips.

"When is the emperor going to take Concubine Xingxian to the capital?" Empress Dowager Zhang looked at him, "I heard that in the hall today, the emperor also said that he would honor King Xingxian and make the concubine a queen dowager?"

There is no good banquet, Empress Dowager Zhang feels this now.

But Zhu Houcong didn't feel that this was too urgent at all, and said with a frank smile: "Of course we have to pick up my mother as soon as possible. Auntie, we are all a family, wouldn't it be more lively in the palace?"

Empress Dowager Zhang remembered He Ling's saying that the emperor always ignored him, and asked with a half-hearted smile, "A family?"

"Naturally, we are a family." Zhu Houcong is not a young man, and raised his hand to pick up some vegetables for her. "Auntie, I know that if I become your son through adoption, you will feel more at ease to be restrained by etiquette. But as long as auntie trusts nephew My son, when I said that I want to be filial on behalf of the emperor, it is absolutely true. It's just that if my aunt wants me to deny my biological parents, it will make things difficult for me. If it ruins the relationship of the whole family, it's not worth it, you Right?"

"The emperor wants to discuss with me, how do you want to arrange it?"

Regarding the matter of Weiyang Palace, he came to the showdown today so simply and so anxiously, Empress Dowager Zhang simply asked with a bit of sulking.

How he plans to arrange is how to treat this aunt and his biological mother in the future.

"Today, I went to Qingning Palace to meet the emperor's wife. I saw that it hadn't been repaired for a long time, and it was quite cold. I'm afraid it's not good for the emperor's wife to live for a long time. According to my nephew, it's better to let the emperor's wife move to Renshou Palace, where both the queen mother and the emperor's wife live. Here, there is also a family to accompany you, don’t you think?”

Empress Dowager Zhang was noncommittal, Zhu Houcong continued to laugh and said, "As for the Qingning Palace, my nephew ordered someone to renovate it, just in time for my mother, and they will go back and live there. Of course, if my aunt thinks the renovated Qingning Palace is better, I can change it." The same is true for living. In short, each of the two palaces has a queen dowager, and my nephew is planning to let the foreign ministers discuss it together in a few days and give the aunt an honorary title."

"Add a title to this palace?"

Zhu Houcong nodded: "Of course. Aunt, since my nephew has become the emperor, it would be unreasonable for the queen mother to be just a princess. However, my aunt has worked hard and the uncle is also my father's elder brother. How can my nephew disrespect my aunt? "

He sighed again: "My nephew proposed a family dinner for the family today, just to clarify this topic first, so as to avoid more and more quarrels in the future. Auntie, now that my nephew has ascended the throne, look in the future, Don't you want the family to be harmonious? Don't you want your nephew to give birth to a prince as soon as possible, and you have a grandson in your arms?"

"Didn't you say go directly to Jiufan?" Empress Dowager Zhang sneered slightly.

"That can't be sent when you are a baby." Zhu Houcong still said sincerely, "This matter can be negotiated. According to my intention, I am not afraid that there will be a big battle in the future. As long as the education is good, How can you have a different heart if there is no one around to stop you from thinking about it? If you really have a different heart, it will be treason."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at his sincere face, unable to find any thorns.

Grandson... This is also the regret that Queen Mother Zhang has always had.Thinking that he didn't invite Empress Xia here today, he didn't know whether it was to avoid danger or to let himself make the decision alone.

Now that these words are threats again, this "grandson" is getting hotter and hotter.

Who the hell knows that one day he will be accused of treason by having a different heart and instigating the child to seize the throne in the future?
"...the emperor's eloquence and temperament, I have also learned." Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly let out a long sigh, "Let the empress dowager temporarily live in Weiyang Palace. .”

She resolutely never mentioned that her daughter-in-law, Empress Xia, who is now only the emperor's wife, is not qualified to live alone in Qingning Palace.

Hearing that he was relieved, Zhu Houcong said with a smile on his face: "My nephew understands the embarrassment of my aunt. Since this is the case, my nephew will avoid the trouble of telling the foreign ministers to let my grandmother move to Xiyuan Yongshou Palace temporarily. If the foreign ministers mistakenly I thought that my nephew would live in Xiyuan like the emperor's brother, so it would be quite lively."

Empress Dowager Zhang stared blankly at him: "Move to... Yongshou Palace?"

"It's always against the rules for grandma to live in Weiyang Palace." Zhu Houcong smiled, "If it has been living in Weiyang Palace, the foreign ministers will probably still talk about the empress dowager deliberately giving me eye drops."

Queen Mother Zhang finally understood.

If she doesn't agree to this matter today, this good nephew is afraid that she will take the initiative to bring it up with the ministers.

Looking back, borrowing the memorials and mouths of those foreign ministers, I am not a human being inside and outside, and I will provide this good nephew with a good reason for not being an heir!

By this time, the family banquet has been completely tasteless since then.

But looking at the emperor who had been acting as if nothing had happened, he actually smiled as if nothing had happened.

Empress Dowager Zhang felt cold... From now on, will she always stay in the palace with such a good nephew?
She started to get scared, and hated Yuan Jinsheng who came up with the idea of ​​Weiyang Palace.

Dan'er, who was serving the concubine's meal, was getting more and more frustrated, and she didn't dare to peek at the emperor any more.

Such a smart emperor should be wary of the people around the empress dowager!
Unexpectedly, when the emperor first entered the palace, he treated the queen mother with such a gesture of respect but dared to remind her.

It's not surprising...he is the Son of Heaven after all!
If there is an emperor in the palace, what is the empress dowager?
What's more, it's not even close.

Even if they were relatives, Emperor Zhengde ordered the investigation and punishment of the two uncles regardless of his mother's opinion, and even almost abolished Empress Xia who listened to the Queen Mother's words and blew the pillow wind in his ear.
