Chapter 12: The Beginning of the Great Ceremony
Mao Cheng left furiously and went directly to the cabinet and discussed with the two cabinet masters for unknown periods. Wang Jun sat in his public room without saying a word.
"Your Majesty has issued an order, and I am deeply convinced by my love. I am able to support me with all my strength."
This oral order is completely plain, and it is simply nakedly seeking Wang Jun's support. Mao Cheng went to the cabinet to discuss the rejection of the order, and Wang Jun received a request from the little emperor. Everyone smelled the smell of a battle for imperial power, and some timids hurriedly stayed away from Wang Jun, for fear of being involved in the battle for imperial power.
Mao Cheng hurried to the cabinet, and at this time the two cabinet ministers and cabinet officer Jiang Mian were discussing the matter.
"Mr. Yang, the new emperor has just ascended the throne for two days, and he was thinking about enthroning the imperial examination for King Xingxian. Where is the Emperor Xiaozong and Emperor Daxing Wuzong? It would be fine if he entered the palace from Shenwu Gate, but we will recognize him. King Xingxian is just a prince. How to enthrone the imperial examination? Wouldn't he completely abandon the royal ancestors?"
Yang Tinghe held the pen and looked ahead. He had a habit of turning the pen in his hand once he thought about a problem.
Finally, Yang Tinghe spoke, "You must not let go of this matter. It is related to the Emperor's last, and I don't think Empress Dowager Zhang will agree." Another thing is that he and Jiang Mian were tacitly aware of it. Originally, the new emperor was young, and they wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, political chaos and treacherous ministers were in power, so they were able to do nothing. They originally wanted to take advantage of the young emperor's youth and need their assistance to display their talents with all their strength.
Unexpectedly, the new emperor was so tricky that he had already given himself eye pills twice. Yang Tinghe had been tolerant, but if he continued to tolerate, not only would his own position be unsafe. This new emperor was too smart and would not be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!
"The two elders, Mao, are here."
Jiang Mian stroked her beard and said, "Xianqing came at the right time. At this time, Xianqing must come forward and go to the palace with us to talk to the empress dowager."
Zhu Houcon didn't know that the three of them were going to report this to Queen Mother Zhang, and even if they knew about it, they just smiled slightly.
"Mr. Old Antique, I didn't see you yesterday, I miss you very much."
"Your Majesty, my wife at home was strictly in charge yesterday, so she didn't go online."
Zhu Houcan heard it incredible, "It's so strange, the woman from the He family dares to stop Mr. Husband? Mr. Husband teaches me that it is a major event in the world. A small woman dares to stop me and take me..." Suddenly, he remembered that the other party was a person in the next life, Zhu Houcan could only shut up with tactfulness and said seriously: "Sir, there must be a reason for the master's wife to control her. I hope Mr. Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband
"Well, this bastard, the little emperor, changed his face so quickly." The old antique historical stared at Zhu Houguan in surprise, thinking to himself, "Am I teaching a child badly? Why is this little emperor only a few days old and can't see any ancient style at all?"
So the old antique historical man said seriously: "Your Majesty, Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism still need to be learned."
Zhu Houcan waved his hand, "I know, sir, time is tight, let's talk about the serious matters. I have issued an order, but it has been rejected by the cabinet."
The old antiques in history pondered for a while, "This matter is related to the royal family. Yang Tinghe will definitely tell Empress Dowager Zhang that this matter is not urgent. As for the same sentence, Your Majesty, your foundation is not stable, and I am afraid that no one in the court will speak for you, which is very unfavorable to Your Majesty. It is better for Your Majesty Xu Huang to take the opportunity to arrange an opportunity for your own people. Your Majesty, your grandmother, Shaw Brothers, is also unnamed at the moment, and it is the time to enthrone."
"Thank you, sir. I also think of my grandmother. I always think of my grandmother alone in the harem and no one takes care of me. I can't sleep or eat in my heart"!
"What the other person, is Mr. Yuan talking about this?"
"That's right, if Yuan Zonggao can enter the cabinet, then his Majesty will really have the right to speak." When he said this ancient antique suddenly frowned.
"Why are you upset by sir?"
The old antique thought about it, "Your Majesty has something to pay attention to. It is recorded in history that Yuan Zonggao died in 1522 AD. This means that in July of the year, there is no record of the cause of death."
"What"? Zhu Houchuang was shocked and suddenly stood up. After all, Yuan Zonggao was someone he knew since childhood, and it was difficult to accept the bad news for a while.
"Li Fang, Li Fang, hurry up and enter the palace by Lord Yuan."
"Your Majesty has already passed away," Li Fang said in embarrassment.
"Yes, it's still time. Mr. Yuan will come to court tomorrow, so it's not too late for me to see you again."
Soon Ma Yongcheng appeared in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has been monitoring the Cining Palace. After Yang Ting and the three of them left, Empress Dowager Zhang had no other reaction and continued to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name."
Zhu Houcan nodded and thought a little in his heart. "Li Fang is in a separate courtyard, I want to pick up my grandmother in person."
Zhu Houcong always cared about his grandmother. His grandmother was very pitiful. When his father was in the vassal state, he did not allow his followers and lived in the harem. His father never met until his death. This was a great regret in his life.
At this time, Concubine Shao had always lived here in the harem. After all, Concubine Shao was old. Emperor Xiaozong took good care of the imperial concubine who had a son and gave the best treatment. Later, Emperor Wuzong succeeded to the throne, Concubine Shao was always taken care of by Empress Dowager Zhang. Although he could not see his son, he was at least worried about food and clothing.
A little palace maid is introducing some news about the new emperor to Concubine Shao, "You said that my grandson really became the emperor, don't lie to me, a blind old woman."
"How dare I lie to you about the grandmother of the concubine? His Majesty had already ascended the throne yesterday, and I hid in the distance and looked at it secretly. In the past two days, all the palace maids in the palace have been rewarded, thanking the emperor, the maid has got a few candy."
"Okay, OK." Thinking of his deceased son, who had received news of his eldest son's death two years ago, the old concubine cried for a while, so her eyes were blind. The white-haired man sent a black-haired man, and his third son died early, and he did not even have a child. Fortunately, the eldest son gave birth to a grandson. Thinking about it, he met his son for the last time twenty-six years ago, but he didn't expect that he would be separated from heaven and earth from now on.
"What did the grandmother of the concubine lament?"
"It's a pity that I'm blind and can't see my emperor grandson anymore. I don't know if I look handsome or not."
Just then, a eunuch called out from outside, "Your Majesty is here"!
"What did I hear Xiao Cui?"
"Old Concubine, Your Majesty is here to see you."
"Where is my grandson, where is my grandson?"
This was the first time Zhu Houcan saw his grandmother. His grandmother was already in disgrace. After all, he was in his seventies. His dry hands grabbed Zhu Houcan strongly and kept groping on Zhu Houcan, "Okay...good...my good grandson"!
Blood is thicker than water. No matter how deceitful Zhu Houcan and the ministers outside, the natural and unrestrained feelings surged into his heart when he saw Zhu Houcan's first meeting.
"The Emperor's Grandmother" voice was accompanied by sobs.
