"Quickly call the imperial doctor - the Queen Mother has fainted!"
The civil and military officials in the court suddenly heard these two consecutive exclamations, and their expressions varied. They either lowered their heads and ignored it, or quietly exchanged glances with those close to them. The important ministers at the forefront of the officials carefully adjusted their postures to avoid being caught. Without being aware of it, he used his peripheral vision to observe the emperor sitting high on the throne.
There was no other reason. The new emperor made such a big noise at the first court meeting. On the surface, it was aimed at the Ministry of Rites and the courtiers who proposed that the new emperor use the sun and the moon to observe the filial piety of the previous emperor. In fact, the sword was pointed directly at the empress dowager.
The courtiers with lower official positions may not understand clearly, but the ministers and nobles who summoned the late emperor before his death clearly knew that the person who proposed to use the sun and the moon to observe the filial piety of the late emperor was the empress dowager, and those unlucky ones were ordered to do so. Those killed with the stick were all the yes-men of the Empress Dowager and the Feng family.
At that time, several ministers wanted to object - this dynasty inherited the laws of the previous dynasty and governed the world with filial piety. The rule that parents must observe filial piety for three years after their death was further confirmed in the form of laws and decrees, even if the king who succeeded him was his own son. It's hard to ignore it, not to mention that now it's a descendant of a clan?
It’s just that the new emperor has never thought about these things. He only knows that once he observes filial piety, he must abstain from sex and abstain from sex. After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, a few yes-men echoed her and pretended to find the previous generation to observe filial piety with the sun instead of the moon. When the example came out, he hurriedly confirmed the matter.
The empress dowager was happy, and the new emperor was happy, and some people were looking for examples from the previous generation to decorate their appearance. They had already sent people to inquire about the new emperor's past temperament, and they were not willing to cause trouble with him over this matter, so they all acquiesced. , How can you imagine that today, in the midst of the court discussion, the new emperor suddenly launches an attack?
Today in the court, the new emperor not only beat up the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but also killed more than just a few yes-men. He also broke the golden statue of the late emperor's wife in the hands of the empress dowager in one fell swoop, and even more so in front of hundreds of officials. The identity of the mother of the new emperor who killed the empress dowager was orthodox.
You are the late emperor's queen, and all the glory comes from the late emperor. Why are you the first to stand up and trample on the late emperor's honor, and encourage the successors to despise the late emperor?
As the mother of the new emperor, she did not immediately admonish him for his words and deeds, and scold him to correct his mistakes. Instead, she took the initiative to make him do evil, commit unfilial and disloyal acts, and add fuel to the flames. How could such a mother be able to take power in the court in place of her husband? Supervise your underage son? !
The new emperor scolded the Ministry of Rites every word and reprimanded those few yes-men, but he never mentioned half of the words of the empress dowager who initiated it. This is the benevolence and filial piety of the new emperor, but it does not mean that the empress dowager has a clear conscience and can shamelessly occupy the court. , came to court under the banner of the late emperor’s widow and the new emperor’s mother!
You are eating the late emperor's food and smashing the late emperor's pot, how shameless you are!
The Queen Mother understood the vulgar words he didn't say, so she pouted on the spot.
As soon as those two exclamations reached his ears, Ying Zheng hurriedly got up and walked behind the curtain, with unfeigned concern on his face, and began to make a shameless medical fuss in an anxious voice: "Quickly call the imperial doctor! If there is anything wrong with the queen, I will I want the hospital to pay for my life!!!”
After a brief pause, he then ordered: "Feng Pushe is here, there is no need to avoid being a relative of yours."
The servants in the palace were so busy that they became ants on the hot pot. The courtiers in the palace knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
Feng Mingda had been secretly thinking something bad since the new emperor publicly launched an attack. He was even more anxious when he saw his sister pouting behind the curtain.
But now that the new emperor took the initiative to summon him, he hesitated...
There is no good feast.
In the end, he forced himself to follow the chamberlain to the side hall.
Dong Changshi watched his colleague from the same province leave, then turned his face slightly, his eyes met Li Chun's, and they both saw the same meaning in the other's eyes.
The new emperor's move today was so ruthless and poisonous!
He really fooled everyone.
When the Empress Dowager proposed to use the sun instead of the moon to observe filial piety, he happily agreed and kept his expression as normal for twenty-seven days, paralyzing the Empress Dowager and all the courtiers. Until today, all the officials were present at the court meeting. Just then he suddenly got angry.
He only used one knife, but he couldn't resist the blow, which was accurate and cruel.
The Empress Dowager's authority to supervise the country and her natural suppression of the new emperor all came from the former emperor.
She was the late emperor's queen and the new emperor's mother. Now that the empress dowager took the lead in insulting the late emperor and digging her own foundation, what qualifications and dignity did she have to exercise power on behalf of the late emperor?
Remove the curtain and return to power.
When Shangshu Zuopu shot at Dong Chang, he and his attendant Li Chun were frightened, and Zhongshu ordered Wang Yue to fight with each other.
Your Majesty, you play me!
In the past eighteen years, and in the twenty-seven days after entering the palace, you acted like a fool as if you were real!
The Empress Dowager's overturning was not unfair at all. You have deceived everyone, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties treats you like a dog. How could you possibly want to give you the moon, but you started to raise your head and howl!
The little report I wrote before, and the memorial in my arms...
Isn't it also a trap?
Oh my god, please help me, please help me, please help me, please help me!
The ministers in the palace had different thoughts, but Ying Zheng didn't understand. He ordered people to help the empress dowager to rest in a nearby side hall, and urged the imperial doctor to come over.
The imperial doctor Taiping, the young eunuch, went to personally invite. While urging him to walk faster, he mentioned his majesty's staff and killed several courtiers who disrespected the late emperor. Even the minister of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed from his post. The empress dowager was kind-hearted and was probably frightened. Live, then fainted.
The old court doctor, the imperial doctor, knew that something was going on here as soon as he heard it. After understanding the whole story, he knew how to respond at that time.
I went to the side hall and checked my pulse through a curtain. After I confessed my crime, I took a look at the face of the Empress Dowager and realized that it was caused by anger and attack. I prescribed medicine, but told the outside world that it was caused by the current qi, and she suddenly developed a fever...
Ying Zheng knelt beside the Queen Mother's bed, worried: "What should we do?"
Then she pulled the Empress Dowager's sleeves and cried, "Mother, my child is young and I feel uneasy without you by my side!"
Tears flowed down his cheeks. He turned to look at Feng Mingda and called out with admiration: "Uncle."
Then asked: "What do you think we should do now?"
Since entering the side hall, Feng Mingda's mind has turned to one hundred and eighty miles, but even so, after hearing the new emperor asking him what to do, he couldn't help but freeze for a while.
Then he suddenly woke up and leaned down in a cold sweat: "I can never afford to be called uncle by Your Majesty, and I come from a family of relatives, how dare I speak nonsense about the emperor!"
Um?
Didn't fall into the pit.
Ying Zheng didn't care, and immediately opened a new trap: "You are the queen's younger brother, and that is my uncle. What's wrong with calling him that?"
He then said with a gloomy expression: "My mother fainted in the middle of the journey. As a son of a human being, I should serve my mother with medicine. However, today is my first imperial meeting after all. It is of great significance to the country, clan, nobles, and hundreds of people." With all the officials here, if it starts but ends like a snake, it will only make the world laugh at you. If you are filial, you will be a failure to the country. If you take care of the whole family, you will be a failure to the mother. I really don’t know what to do!"
After saying that, he gathered his clothes and bowed to Feng Mingda as a descendant: "Please teach me, uncle!"
Feng Mingda was horrified and immediately prostrated himself. Bang Bang Bang kowtowed three times: "I will die, I am terrified!!!"
Then he suddenly realized——
Fuck, I fell into a pit! ! !
Ask the new emperor not to hold court meetings and let them disperse like this...
As a relative, you dare to influence the emperor's court affairs. Do you have disobedience?
There are so many clans and nobles in the palace, and the new emperor’s father, King Zhou, is also here. Are their relationships not stronger than yours?
No one said anything, so why did you show up?
Especially since the Empress Dowager has behaved immorally before, the Feng family dares to be so domineering!
Ask the new emperor to leave the empress dowager alone and continue the meeting...
The empress dowager failed to sit down to the end of the first court meeting. She pouted midway and left sadly. Can she come back shamelessly again in the future?
Then wouldn’t the power of supervising the country be considered abolished? !
If you don't say anything, you will be like a gourd with its mouth cut off...
You are the right servant of Shangshu, and you are the prime minister of the dynasty!
The late Emperor entrusted the world and the new ruler Yin Yin to you before his death. Now that big things are happening, you are like a mute and can't beat a fart with three sticks. How can you continue to stand in the court and assist the emperor? !
The three choices were lined up together. After weighing the pros and cons, Feng Mingda could only choose the second one.
It was also at this time that he understood why the new emperor called him to the side hall.
Because the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill and could not continue to attend the court meeting, the decision that the court meeting needed to continue could not be made from the mouth of the new emperor!
There are all parents in the world, no matter how much the Empress Dowager pulls her hips, she is also the mother of the new emperor in name, and the son will not blame the mother for her fault!
But Feng Mingda is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, so he can speak on behalf of the Empress Dowager. In this way, the new emperor will be cleared of possible unfavorable charges. When the Empress Dowager wakes up in the future, she will not be able to cause trouble for the emperor. If she is not convinced, go to the emperor. Your brother goes, that was his suggestion, I had no choice but to do it!
Feng Mingda: "..."
Feng Mingda: "…………"
Slowly shed two lines of tears.
The court's routine...
So fucking deep!
At the same time, Feng Mingda also had to endure the hypocritical and crocodile greetings from the dirty-hearted new emperor: "Uncle, why are you crying? Good people have their own destiny, and the queen mother will be fine. Don't worry too much !”
Chapter 7
Feng Mingda did not answer.
He knew that the New Emperor didn't really need him to answer this question.
Feng Mingda just lowered his head even lower, pressed it against the floor tiles, and squeezed out every word from his bloody throat: "The sudden illness of the Queen Mother is definitely not what your majesty expected. If your majesty delays state affairs because of your filial piety, , this is the greatest unfilial piety, even if the Queen Mother wakes up, she will blame me for not being able to persuade and stop it!"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "The country has always governed the world with filial piety. As a son of man, how can I not set an example for the people of the world?!"
Feng Mingda's heart was bleeding with hatred. He raised his head suddenly and kowtowed heavily again: "Your Majesty, please put state affairs first! This must be what the Queen Mother wants you to do!"
Ying Zheng suddenly changed his expression: "Uncle, do you want to trap me in an unfilial position? Stop trying to persuade me!"
Feng Mingda chose the lesser of the three evils, so he could only persuade him again and again. His forehead hit the cold and hard floor tiles again and again until it burst and bled, but Ying Zheng still refused to let go.
The clay figurine was still angry, and Feng Mingda thought he had given in enough. He didn't expect the new emperor to be so coy and pretentious. When he was almost unbearable, he suddenly realized that from just now, the new emperor had been staring in the direction of the courtiers in the main hall of Taiji Palace.
Only then did he understand what the new emperor wanted him to do.
Just a few words of my own to persuade him to come in were useless. At this time, there were only the emperor and his uncle in the side hall. No one knew whether the uncle's persuasion was out of his own heart or because of the emperor's threat.
The emperor needs to let the courtiers know that it was the uncle himself who took the initiative to propose that the emperor continue the court discussion. Therefore, the petition alone at this time is useless, and it is useless even if his head is broken.
The emperor was forced to continue the court discussion after repeated requests from his uncle and officials.
The emperor is a gentleman who cares deeply about his mother's body, but is bound by the interests of the country and has no choice but to do so.
The emperor is like a white lotus that emerges from the water, not stained by any dust. While suffering from the inability to fulfill his filial piety to his mother, he also assumes the duties of a king in the court.
The Emperor was brilliant and without blemish.
When Feng Mingda realized this, he was surprised and even more horrified.
Was the Empress Dowager's fainting in the court the fault of the new emperor?
Feng Mingda never believed it!
Even if the new emperor is a wise and wise emperor, it is absolutely impossible for him to develop enough power to resist the empress dowager in the palace in just twenty-seven days, let alone control the manpower, at the most ingenious time. The Queen Mother fainted.
Therefore, this accident could only be an accident. The new emperor was just as caught off guard as he and the courtiers in the palace.
But in that short period of time, he figured out how to set up a trap to trap himself in and take away the Queen Mother's power to govern, and how to kill without blood at every step.
