After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, both Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun thanked him.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
And just when Zhu Yijun and Tan Lun finished drinking the pear soup, and when Ma Gui and the others left after returning to life, the eunuch's shout came from outside the inner door of Huiji Gate again.
Zhu Yijun also walked outside the inner door and saw that Queen Mother Li had gone to wait for the hairpin jewelry, changed into a green cloth robe, and walked back from the darkness at the end of the snow with raised eyebrows and pursed lips.
Zhu Yijun then raised his hands and bowed: "Why did the queen leave and come back again?"
Empress Dowager Li ignored Zhu Yijun and only looked at Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun: "Zhang Juzheng, Tan Lun, how much have you received the kindness of the late emperor?"
"The kindness of the late emperor is naturally as heavy as a mountain!"
Zhang Juzheng replied.
Tan Lun hiccupped and replied: "The same goes for me."
Empress Dowager Li said: "In this case, you should know that what your Majesty did tonight is not what the late emperor wanted to see, nor is it the virtue that a human king should have! As an old minister who relies on me, especially you, Zhang Juzheng!"
"As a minister appointed by the late emperor, how can I sit back and watch the king lose his virtue without admonishing him? Do I really want to see the late emperor handing over the country to such a ruthless king?!"
Empress Dowager Li said and looked at Zhu Yijun: "Zhu Yijun, I will not tolerate an unfilial and unscrupulous person like you who ruins the country of our ancestors!"
Then, Empress Dowager Li told Zhang Juzheng: "Immediately prepare my edict and tell the cabinet that I will go to the Ancestral Temple to depose the unethical and unfilial king and make King Lu the emperor!"
Empress Dowager Li said this and looked at Zhu Yijun: "Zhu Yijun, how can you be the only one who can inherit the great things in the world?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun's face darkened, and then he said: "Does the Queen really want to destroy the world's system and interfere in the politics of the world?!"
Queen Mother Li asked: "Do you still want to kill your mother?!"
After saying this, Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhang Juzheng: "Zhang Juzheng, if you still remember the kindness of the late emperor, write an edict immediately!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly replied in a serious tone, and said: "If you want your minister to die, I have to die. The courtiers outside did not listen to the order and were killed for disobedience! Therefore, your majesty is justified in killing, and he must be executed without teaching!"
"What's more, your Majesty is not humiliating his officials by killing them with a stick, but is showing mercy to them."
"If this is the case, and the ministers in the world are still not grateful for your kindness, it can only be because the ministers in the world do not know what the gift of loyalty to the emperor is!"
"If the ministers in the world are still dissatisfied, the only culprit should be to blame the ministers and ministers for their misconduct. They not only taught your majesty to govern the world with mercy, but also taught your majesty to govern the world with strict laws! There is also the "Emperor Jian Tu Shuo" and the former memorial of the ministers. certificate."
"If the Queen Mother really wants to disregard the authority of the imperial decree and the national law, and wants to flatter and compromise with the officials in the world, she only needs to depose or even execute them!"
"How can we talk about deposing the emperor? Wouldn't this put the Queen Mother in a bad place even more?!"
"And what your Majesty said is correct. The Queen Mother should not undermine the world's system and cannot interfere in the world's politics!"
After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, Queen Mother Li was stunned.
Then, Queen Mother Li asked: "So, this was not the emperor's idea alone, but also yours, Mr. Zhang's?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "It is better to seek advice for the emperor than to criticize him; it is better to help him survive than to die for him. Since his wings are abundant, why not worry about not flying thousands of miles."
"Therefore, today's events are considered to be my plans for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can become the eternal sage king in the future and accomplish what I wish to do."
"If it were not what I wanted, tonight's knighthood of the military minister would not be a sudden imperial edict, and the generals would have to be killed by your majesty. Therefore, there is naturally my intention in this, please be clear to the Queen Mother!"
"Queen Mother, there is also a ministerial meaning in this!"
"If the people of the world rebel against Your Majesty because of this, Your Majesty can kill your ministers to thank the world, or you can let your ministers rebel against you!"
"According to the orders of my ministers, no matter Qi Li or Liu Ma, as well as the generals and soldiers from all over the world, they must be willing to serve me! I am not domineering, but I should serve you with sincerity. The generals who were favored by Hu Ruzhen in the southeast back then should be He has already transferred to his sect."
Tan Lun followed suit at this time.
He knew that he had been favored by the emperor many times, and now he had to express his support for Emperor Zhu Yijun.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li laughed angrily: "Okay, if you don't want to dethrone the emperor, I will go to the Ancestral Temple to apologize to my ancestors! After all, I did not teach my son well and made him unethical and unfilial! Then I will terminate my family life." !”
Queen Mother Li said and turned around.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Please be kind to the Queen Mother and don't expose Your Majesty to injustice!"
Tan Lun looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, please kneel down and beg the Queen Mother to calm down. We cannot let the Queen Mother forcefully break into the Ancestral Temple!"
Zhu Yijun stood still, like a sculpture.
Zhu Yijun did not expect that Empress Dowager Li was so stubborn and controlling. Both Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun refused to give in, insisting that he, the emperor, follow her will and be like Ming Renzong and Ming Xiaozong. He is a benevolent emperor, and cannot be as ruthless as emperors such as Ming Taizu and Ming Shizong.
But Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, the two civil servants who each represented a force behind the scenes, did not think that the emperor had to be benevolent.
However, as a mother who worships Buddhism, she hopes that she can compromise with the conservatives who oppose reform.
Zhu Yijun was really speechless. '
"Ms. Li!"
Suddenly, a shout appeared.
Everyone was stunned in place.
Including Queen Mother Li herself.
After this scolding appeared, Queen Mother Chen, dressed in gorgeous clothes and beaded crown, appeared in front of Queen Mother Li accompanied by palace officials.
"elder sister?"
Queen Mother Li asked in surprise.
"If you really want to abolish the system of establishing direct descendants, why not abolish the title of my direct mother-in-law first!"
"If you want to establish King Lu, you might as well declare it to the world first, saying that the ancestors' system of establishing direct descendants and elders does not count, only what you say counts!"
"You say Jun'er is unfilial. How can Jun'er be unfilial? No matter whether it's the cold winter or the scorching summer heat, he never misses a day to pay homage to me, my aunt, in the morning and dusk. He even imitates the story of the twenty-four filial piety and laughs at me. He treats you, my biological mother, even more. It’s caring!”
"As for him, Prince Lu, he only talks nonsense in front of you. When does he know to come to say hello to me, the aunt's mother? When does he want to come and see me, the aunt's mother?!"
"In terms of filial piety, I am not as filial as Xiao Yongning, but Xiao Yongning will still come to accompany me!"
"In terms of morality, he is even worse. He beats palace maids and eunuchs for no reason! If he hadn't been so young, I would have asked the emperor to kick him out and banish him!"
Empress Dowager Chen said: "So, what qualifications does Prince Lu have to take away Jun'er's position by deposing the elder and establishing the younger?! If you really do this, then depose me first, and then depose Jun'er!"
Empress Dowager Li hurriedly saluted and cried: "Sister, please calm down! My sister just said something out of anger! She doesn't dare to really break the system of the world."
"So it was an angry comment?"
Queen Mother Chen sneered, and then asked Queen Mother Li solemnly: "Can you just say that the emperor is unfilial when you are angry?! In front of the courtiers from other dynasties!"
Empress Dowager Chen said: "I am the heir-mother of the emperors and the empress of the palace appointed by the World Temple. I should be the one to discipline them, but I have always been in poor health. Although my sister is a small householder, But it can be regarded as a good idea of etiquette, not to mention that the country does not despise the common people, so it leaves the matter of disciplining the emperor's heirs and even Jun'er to my sister, regardless of the affairs of the inner court, but I did not expect that my sister is now becoming more and more ignorant of propriety. , you actually started throwing shit in front of us, and even went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to throw shit in front of your ancestors!"
After saying that, Empress Dowager Chen came over, pointed at Zhu Yijun, and said to Mrs. Li: "He is the only late emperor and crown prince of the Ming Dynasty who can serve as king. He is not your son who can scold you whenever you want! Even if he is really evil, It’s me, my aunt, who has to say it first! I’m just leaving it to you, not that you can really accuse me at will!”
"Sister, calm down, sister will never dare to do it again!"
At this time, Queen Mother Li knelt down with tears streaming down her face.
