In order to appear sad, Zhu Qiyu worked hard every night. After these few nights, he was really tired.
So, I was stunned for a moment by my eldest brother's request to respectfully surrender to the emperor.
If Queen Zhou and the Crown Prince were moved to the Nangong Palace, wouldn't Kunning Palace be freed up? This doesn't seem like the behavior of Emperor Gongrang's family.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Wei Ji for advice.
Wei Ji had just arrived in Beijing not long ago, and he had not yet completely sorted out the joints. Therefore, Wei Ji just gave a reference opinion based on etiquette and law:
"Your Majesty, Queen Zhou should have lived with Emperor Gong Rang. Since Emperor Gong Rang insists on his request, Your Majesty seems to have no reason to refuse."
Zhu Qiyu understood Wei Ji's meaning and Gongrang the emperor had just lost a prince. At this time, as long as it was not a matter of principle, he would be fine.
So Zhu Qiyu nodded and agreed.
Next, the scene became awkward.
Zhu Qiyu was waiting for the ministers to speak, and the ministers were also waiting for Zhu Qiyu to speak.
The ministers came to the small court meeting to hear what the emperor had to say about the death of the third prince.
But Zhu Qiyu had nothing to say and had no intention of speaking at all.
It is not good for the ministers to talk about other things immediately, because according to common sense, if a prince dies in infancy, he should stop working.
The two sides were stunned for a cup of tea. Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and dismissed the court.
Anyway, all the mourning ministers have seen it, so long as the goal is achieved.
At this moment, Zou Qian suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers, together with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, will present a memorial to invite your Majesty to hold a sutra feast."
"Accurate."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this unexpectedly, he didn't think much about it and took it as a given.
Unexpectedly, Zou Qian went further and said: "According to the old system of the orthodox dynasty, lectures will be given on the 2nd, 12th and 22nd of every month. Your Majesty, please go to the Wenhua Hall on time to participate in the sutra banquet.
In addition, a cabinet bachelor is required to serve as a lecturer, reading with him every day, and explaining the main meaning of the book. "
The dragon has reverse scales, which will cause anger if touched.
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu glanced at Zou Qian as if looking at a dead person, and replied coldly: "Three Yangs are the most treacherous and sycophantic people in history. Please encourage him."
After that, Zhu Qiyu shook his sleeves and left without looking back.
Zhu Qiyu had already given Zou Qian a suspended death sentence in his heart. This guy really thought that I was ignorant and incompetent. Originally, the Ming Dynasty's sutra banquets were neither customized nor fixed. Where and when they were held depended entirely on the emperor's wishes.
After Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu formulated the Jingyan Rituals on the grounds that Zhengtong was young, forming the fixed form just mentioned by Zou Qian.
There is nothing wrong with the Sutra Banquet itself, but what did you Sanyang tell Zhu Qizhen after talking for a long time?
These shabby books are spoken every day, every ten days, every month, and they create a fortress of earth and wood.
I don’t know what Zhu Qizhen learned from you losers even though he worked from dawn to dusk.
To put it in the extreme, if Zhu Qizhen didn't learn anything and slept at home every day, he would still be a good emperor now.
However, Zhu Qiyu is not opposed to the Jingyan itself. The Jingyan can be held, but it must not be held according to your design.
After returning home and taking a dip in the hot spring, Zhu Qiyu decided to retreat behind closed doors and watch the changes, waiting for a political storm to form.
Unexpectedly, before her body was soaked, Lin Xiangyu walked in with light and swaying steps.
Lin Xiangyu saw that Zhu Qiyu was already soaking in the hot spring pool, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly and teased: "My husband moves so fast, I hurriedly rushed to catch you, but I couldn't stop you.
Wash up and get dressed quickly. My husband is in trouble again. He is waiting in the south hall. "
"Ah? I just sent the ministers away, who else would dare to come to your door?"
"Sun Zhong, Marquis of Huichang."
Lin Xiangyu's voice was soft and sweet, and these five words that came out of her mouth made Zhu Qiyu shiver.
"Huichang Bo Sun Zhong, my God, what can I say to him? I asked them all to go to Fengyang, but they didn't go either.
If I let them live in Fengyang High Wall, it would be wrong of me.
But I want them to live in Fengyang Palace. I will give them as much money as they want to repair and rebuild Fengyang Palace.
Anyway, I've done my best, and now it's up to you and me to live and die. "
Lin Xiangyu took a set of regular clothes and advised tactfully: "Husband, you'd better get dressed quickly. The Marquis of Huichang is so old that he just won't leave, and we can't beat him out.
My husband is the only adult male in our family. If you don’t go, who will? "
Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to put on his clothes and come to the south hall.
Lin Xiangyu left after serving tea.
Only Zhu Qiyu and Sun Zhong were left in the hall.
After the two chatted for a few words, they got down to business.
Sun Zhong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I wonder how you will handle the murder of the third prince this time?"
"Oh, the third prince is my nephew, how can I just let it go? What's more, the traitor wants to frame me. Fortunately, the young eunuch Zhang Min and others noticed it in time, otherwise once this basin of dirty water was poured out, On my head, what will the world think of me?
I have just sent Jin Yiwei to command Menda and Lu Gao to take over the torture. The Marquis of Huichang can rest assured that it will only take two or three days at most to find out the mastermind behind this and make the truth known to the world. "
When the Marquis of Huichang heard this, his hand shook and he dropped the teacup on the ground.
The floor was covered entirely with white marble, and there was no carpet.
There was only a crisp sound, the tea cup fell into pieces, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
Sun Zhong quickly knelt down and confessed.
Zhu Qiyu did not say anything about giving up, but just let Sun Zhong kneel on the cold ground, and then asked coldly: "Why is the Marquis of Huichang so panicked?"
This is not asking knowingly.
However, people under the low eaves have to bow their heads.
Sun Zhong knew that there was no point in pretending to be confused, so he opened the skylight and spoke frankly: "Your Majesty, Jin Ying, the eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor, has been serving the Queen Mother since he entered the palace.
Now that Jin Ying is involved in the poisoning case, Wei Chen is afraid that he will jump over the wall and bite randomly, thus involving the Queen Mother. "
Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "Although the case has not been completed yet, it is not that nothing has been found out. As for the palace servants of Shangshan Supervisor poisoning the third prince, it is to put the blame on me. This is already certain.
So the question is, who was Jin Ying instructed by? The Marquis of Huichang said that Jin Ying was not ordered by the Queen Mother. I am willing to believe the Marquis of Huichang.
But the Marquis of Huichang also knew that the only people in the inner court who could command Jin Ying were the Queen Mother and Emperor Gongrang. Even if the two queens say it, Jin Ying may not listen.
I won't give up without a reasonable explanation. "
Sun Zhong understood. The emperor was determined this time. Either Jin Ying was ordered by the Queen Mother, or Jin Ying was ordered by the emperor. He must choose one of these two results.
Sun Zhong boldly asked again: "May I ask, Your Majesty, how will you deal with the mastermind?"
"It is open to the world, right and wrong, let the people of the world judge."
Zhu Qiyu then added: "It's okay for me to feel a little wronged, but my mother was killed by an adulterer. Once the real culprit and mastermind are found out, I don't care who he is, but the three tribes will be razed."
After hearing this, Sun Zhong suddenly felt that the ground was getting colder. Not only was the ground cold, but my back was also cold.
However, Sun Zhong had already predicted this situation before coming.
Sun Zhong's trip was originally to negotiate a deal with the emperor, and to see what conditions he could offer in order for the emperor to let the Sun family go.
The most important thing here is that Sun Zhong wanted the emperor to let the Sun family go, not the Queen Mother.
Sun Zhong wanted to abandon his chariot to protect the commander, and cut off with the Queen Mother Sun.
So far, Sun Zhong is the third person after Wei Ji and Chen Xun to give up the Queen Mother Sun and abandon the car to protect the commander-in-chief.
A few days ago, Sun Zhong entered the palace and had already persuaded the Queen Mother Sun. However, the Queen Mother Sun refused to listen and insisted on confronting the emperor to the end.
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the people who created the problem. Sun Zhong actually understood this truth.
Sun Zhong was seen kneeling on the ground, kowtowing loudly three times, and then burst into tears and started sobbing.
