Yu'er came to the imperial study room, where the ministers had been waiting for a long time.
The ministers expressed joy and joy. After saluting, they said eagerly: "Not only did the overseas students go abroad this time, it went extremely smoothly! We also overthrew Li Chang's faction in one fell swoop!"
"Chang Li acts cautiously and hides deeply. He is really an old fox! It is not easy to bring him down!"
"This time it went too, too smoothly! What an unexpected surprise!"
Yu'er looked calmly at the excited ministers, whose eyes were shining.
He corrected him in a calm voice, "We didn't bring him down. He hanged himself."
The ministers smiled and said, "Exactly! He can't escape the condemnation of his conscience! He can't escape the law of heaven! The pain in his heart is more torturous than the pain in his body! He died well!"
Yu'er nodded, and he lowered his eyes, missing his mother even more.
Now that he hears words such as "the way of heaven", he misses his mother very much.
It is common for some government orders to encounter resistance.
This time, there was originally a lot of resistance, but it went surprisingly smoothly.
If not for this, these close ministers would not be so excited and come to see him just after leaving court!
Yu'er secretly felt that her mother must be helping him.
"It seems that God is on the side of the emperor! In this case, the emperor should go to Famen Temple and Taiqing Palace to worship!" The ministers cupped their hands and said eagerly.
The young emperor shook his head and said, "I have three days' rest. I have two important things to do."
The ministers looked at him in astonishment, "What is more important than going to worship at this time?"
Yu'er said, "I am going to the Queen's Temple to worship my mother."
Before he finished speaking, the ministers gasped.
"Your Majesty! Are you going to the Queen's Temple at this time to express your gratitude and pay homage to the Queen Mother?" the courtiers glared.
Yu'er didn't say anything, because he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the imperial study room had changed!
"It's not that the emperor can't go to the Queen's Temple to worship, but at this time, going to the Queen's Temple to worship should be ranked after Famen Temple and Taiqing Palace!"
"Which is more important or less important? Your Majesty, you have to think carefully about it!"
"The Queen Mother has not been in this world for a long time! The influence of the Queen Mother is no longer what it used to be!"
"The incense in the Queen's Temple and its influence on the people are decreasing day by day... If the emperor goes to worship at this time, won't it cause misunderstanding and ridicule from the world?"
boom!
Yu'er was furious when she heard this and slapped the imperial case hard.
His eyes were cold and full of anger, "Ministers, don't you have any parents or elders? After your parents and elders pass away, won't you go to worship them?"
"I went to worship my mother. What's the misunderstanding? What's there to laugh at? Come on, let me listen?!"
All the ministers knelt down and apologized, "I'm so ignorant! I didn't speak clearly!"
"I am not saying that the Emperor cannot go to worship the Queen Mother... I just want to go to the ancestral temple, the imperial mausoleum, or the Temple of Heaven to worship..."
"At this critical moment when we should be grateful to God, going to the Queen's Temple...wouldn't it cause ambiguity?"
Yu'er snorted coldly, "I can go to worship my mother whenever I want!"
"Does it mean that since I became the emperor, I no longer have the right to miss my mother and worship my mother?"
"Didn't the ministers make it clear? Oh, no. You made it very clear. I don't care why you think this matter went so smoothly!"
"I just want to thank my mother as soon as possible! I just want to go to the Queen's Temple!"
The ministers looked sideways, you looked at me, I looked at you.
Compared with the Supreme Emperor, the new emperor's temper is much better!
But how could there be no similarities between father and son?
This stubbornness is like ten cows not being able to pull it back!
They were about to persuade again.
Yu'er waved her hand, "Shut up!"
"You are simply speculating on what I mean! I want to thank my mother, but I have no intention of going there!"
"When my mother was alive, she never cared about false fame! She has always taught me, to do good deeds without worrying about the future. Does mother care about incense? Does she care about the world's worship?"
"This is ridiculous! What you are saying is disrespectful to your mother!"
When the ministers heard this, their faces became hot, and they all apologized one after another.
Yu'er said, "As for going to Famen Temple and Taiqing Palace with great fanfare, I didn't say it's not possible. It's just that I have to be quiet, reflect on myself, cultivate myself and my family, so that I can govern the country and bring peace to the world."
"Worshiping the gods is a kind of education and guidance for the people. Therefore, the court sends highly respected ministers to worship on my behalf!"
Why can we say that worshiping Buddhist and Taoist gods is an education and guidance for the people?
This is to tell the people, and even more so to those who serve as officials—Don’t do evil things! Don’t kid yourself! There is a god at the top of your head!
No matter how well people hide it, the gods are watching!
Just like Li Chang, people couldn't kill him, but he was full of evil, and God still wanted to kill him!
The young emperor is thoughtful and considerate.
It is human nature for him to miss and worship his mother, why not?
He did not forget the important affairs of the country because of his own selfishness!
His arrangement was "loyalty and filial piety".
The emperor's words made the ministers feel ashamed. Now they knelt down to apologize, with a humble attitude and sincere submission.
The ministers bowed their heads and left the imperial study without any complaints. With awe of the young emperor and joy from the bottom of their hearts, they exited the imperial study.
"No wonder the Supreme Emperor is willing to abdicate in his prime!"
"I am really lucky to have such a young and promising emperor who is no longer at the peak of power, materialistic, and has lost his true heart!"
"Speaking of which... the Queen Mother is also a good upbringer..."
Several ministers couldn't help but feel their cheeks burning when they remembered what they had just said in the palace.
The topic ends here.
Yu'er didn't tell Xiao Yuchen that he was going to leave the palace incognito to "meet" his mother.
Why do we have to go to Queen’s Temple instead of somewhere else?
This is all because of Jiang Qian!
Back then, Jiang Qian met Wen Jin at the Queen's Temple and got inspiration from Wen Jin. She finally broke through the problem that had troubled her and royal medicine for a long time!
"In the Queen's Temple, you can see the Queen of the past!" has spread since then.
Wen Jinnao understood this and couldn't help but laugh or cry.
"Didn't I appear in other places back then?" Wen Jin said to himself, "It's just that the time difference was too big. I didn't come back for a year, and I didn't appear anywhere."
Wen Jin thought of the Queen's Temple where he first met Jiang Qian.
Her vision changed and she immediately came to the Queen's Temple.
"Hey, no... I haven't met Xiao Yuchen and Yue'er yet!"
Wen Jin was about to leave, but her eyelids twitched when she was caught by a slender little girl.
In this quiet and lonely Queen's Temple, the little girl in simple clothes looks particularly lively and spiritual.
Just like those ministers said.
People are forgetful. Without Wen Jin's "Queen's Temple", it would have lost its original appeal.
Only a few practitioners sent by the royal family maintained and repaired it.
Wen Jin's family and friends didn't have many opportunities to come to the Queen's Temple, so the number of practitioners here became scattered.
But this little girl looks very active and works very hard!
She is so slender, but she can carry a lot of water.
She washed the bluestone path of the Queen's Temple and the stone steps of the temple with water.
After washing with water, she used a big broom to sweep the corridor, stone steps, and bluestone path spotlessly clean.
The little girl wiped her sweat without resting. She took the rag and entered the hall again.
She bowed to the Wen Jin-like portrait and said, "Excuse me!"
After paying her respects, she began to wipe and tidy up...
