Chapter 180 Empress Zhang expresses her intentions
Forbidden City, East Pavilion.
"Empress, Your Majesty is reviewing the memorial. If you want to see Your Majesty, you might as well let the villain pass it to Your Majesty first."
The widow of Tianqi, Queen Zhang Yan, came towards the East Pavilion with great momentum. Seeing that she seemed to be looking for the emperor's bad luck, Lu Jiude, who was standing at the door, dared not neglect and hurried forward to pay his respects.
Although Zhang Yan was angry, she had always been well-educated and said coldly: "Go and report it!"
"Yes, Empress." Lu Jiude responded and hurried into the palace to report to the emperor.
When Zhu Youjian heard that Emperor Zhang had come back, he immediately thought of all the officials who begged the palace to force the palace and kept saying that he would hand over the government to Empress Yi'an. It was obvious that Zhang Yan also received the news, so he rushed over.
Empress Zhang Yan was welcomed in and the guests were seated. Zhu Youjian smiled gently and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here, don't you ask someone to tell me about it and let me go out to greet me."
Empress Zhang Yan said, "Emperor, you can still laugh at this time? I heard that all officials from the Ai family came to the palace to force the palace and even used the Ai family as a deceased person, who asked the Ai family, to come out to take over the government?"
Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "It's true."
With a "bang", Zhang Yan slapped the table and said angrily: "All these people are traitors! Since the Ai family left, they have no concerns about the world. They brought the Ai family out, clearly trying to alienate the Tian family, and their crimes are unforgivable!
The Emperor, the Ai family can swear to the sky, the sun and the moon. The Ai family has absolutely no idea of being involved in the government affairs. If they violate this oath, the Ai family will be punished by heaven and earth. After their death, they will not be allowed to move into Deling and be buried with the former emperor!”
Zhu Youjian quickly comforted him and said, "The emperor's sister-in-law first relieves his anger. I lost my father and mother since I was young. Fortunately, I was taken care of by my elder brother and sister-in-law, so I was able to grow up safely.
I know very well about the Emperor Sister-in-law, and of course I understand that the Emperor Sister-in-law has always been gentle and kind, and has a virtuous reputation that has been chasing the former Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty. She is a role model for women all over the world.
The reason why all officials knocked on the palace was that they were sowed by Wang Shoulu, Wen Zhenmeng and Lu Chengyuan, the three thieves, who had already shown these three thieves to the public and let out a rant for the emperor's sister-in-law!"
When Empress Zhang Yan heard this, she calmed down a little bit of anger and exclaimed: "The emperor is good at killing! This generation has no king or father, and she still uses the Ai family to attack him, and alienates the affection of the Tian family, and shows his head to show his head to the public, which is worthy of his crime.
But Your Majesty, if they can take the Ai family as a slaughter, there will be a second and third time. It would be better for the emperor to set up a temple next to the tomb of the late emperor, and to move out of the palace to live in the ancestral temple, chanting scriptures and praying for the late emperor day and night, and to end this life."
Zhang Yan's country is beautiful and beautiful. She is one of the five great queens in ancient Chinese history. Now she is only twenty-one years old. It is the time when a woman is most beautiful in her life.
If I were to be in later generations, I would probably still be learning knowledge in the ivory tower at this age, or I had just entered society and opened the starting point of my life.
At this age, Empress Zhang Yan said she wanted to live in the ancestral temple for her remaining life, which made Zhu Youjian feel particularly sad and realized that the ties to women in this era of prosperity in theory and religion were so great.
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said, "It's okay for the emperor's sister-in-law to move out, but living in the house temple is too aggrieved. Outsiders will also mistakenly think that I treat the emperor's sister-in-law badly.
In this way, the western suburbs of the capital have the beauty of lakes and mountains. In summer, you can also escape the heat. I will set up a royal garden for my sister-in-law in the western suburbs to serve as a place for my sister-in-law to relax and escape the summer. When I and my concubines have time in the future, I can also visit my sister-in-law in the garden and enjoy the fun of traveling around the mountains and rivers."
That's right, Zhu Youjian wanted to copy the Old Summer Palace to the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty is still in dire straits, Zhu Youjian has a mysterious self-confidence of a time traveler and believes that reviving the Ming Dynasty is a matter of course, so he has planned to set up a royal garden in the western suburbs of the capital as a place for his honor and prosperity after retirement.
In addition to avoiding suspicion, Queen Zhang Yan wanted to move out of the palace, in addition to avoiding suspicion, there is another important reason, which is that she wanted to leave the palace that seemed magnificent but was more like a cage.
For Queen Zhang Yan, as long as she can escape from the cage of the palace, there is not much difference between living in a family temple or a garden.
Of course, people have a nature of being lazy and hate labor. If they could live in a royal garden, who would want to live in a pure and simple family temple?
However, Empress Zhang Yan has always been considerate and said hesitantly: "I heard that the court's finances are in a tight position. It should be a lot of money to build a new royal garden. It's better to set up a simple ancestral temple for the Ai family to live in."
Zhu Youjian deceived him kindly: "The late emperor has been diligent and thrifty all his life, leaving me with a huge treasury, so that I can enjoy the fruits of his life. Please relax. It doesn't cost much silver to set up a garden for the emperor, so that's it."
When Empress Zhang Yan saw the emperor say this, she nodded and said, "In this way, I will trouble the emperor. But the Ai family also reminded the emperor that the court has been uneasy recently. The emperor must be careful in everything and do not be careless like the previous emperor."
Zhu Youjian was most cherishing his life, but said solemnly: "Thank you for your concern, I have saved it."
...
Han Mansion.
The person who made the sound was naturally the governor of Dongchang Wang Chengen. After all, Han Yu was also the chief minister of the Cabinet of the Tianqi Dynasty, and his qualifications were even above Huang Liji. He was one of the veteran giants of the Donglin Party.
If you just send some minions to take down Han Du, you would be too disrespectful to Han Du and would not be worthy of Han Du's identity as a giant.
So, Wang Chengen took action personally.
Wang Chengen slowly entered the study and said leisurely: "Mr. Han, it's been a long time since I saw each other. I remember that last time I met, I was in the court, but this time I met, Lord Han was afraid that he would go to the imperial prison to go."
Han Yu pretended to be stupid and said, "Eunuch Wang, why is this? I asked myself that I have never offended you, so why bother me?"
Wang Chengen said: "If you don't know, don't do it yourself. That's right, Lord Han has never offended our family, but you shouldn't have offended the emperor, but you just offended the emperor. Let me tell you the truth, your incident happened, no one in heaven or underground can save you."
Duke Han still pretended to be stupid: "What happened? I have already resigned from office and retired. The things in the court have nothing to do with me, so how can I say that the incident happened?"
"Haha." Wang Chengen sneered and said, "Since our family dares to come and take you with great fanfare, we will naturally have full evidence of your Han Dynasty's misconduct.
On the evening of the 26th of this month, in Qian Qianyi's mansion, you brought Wang Shoulu, Lu Chengyuan, Yao Ximeng and others to visit Qian Qianyi. Have you forgotten everything you said and done in Qian's mansion?"
Han Yu's face changed drastically when he heard this. Finally, he sighed and said discouragedly: "It turns out that the factory guard has arranged a suspicion in the Qian Mansion. This time I'm not wronged!"
Wang Chengen said proudly: "Supervising all officials is the responsibility of the factory guards. Who can you blame when you hit the door by yourself? Take it away!"
