The next day, Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Jianshen made it known to the public that the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress were about to return to Beijing. After hearing this, all the officials in the court were stunned.
No... still alive?
This is really... great.
The ministers were so excited that they cried with joy...
Zhu Jianshen only said that the Supreme Emperor was in Jinling, but he did not mention a word as to why the Supreme Emperor was in Jinling, or why the Supreme Queen, who had been missing for a long time but kept secret, was also there.
If he didn't say anything, it would be hard for the officials to ask.
After all, what happened to the Great Emperor was... very disgraceful.
A son doesn't complain about his father's fault, not to mention, this is the emperor's father, the overlord of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, the civil service group was much more resentful towards Zhu Qizhen than it was towards Zhu Jianshen. In the battle in the 14th year of Zhengtong, the mainstay of the civil service group was almost wiped out by the group.
Since then, they have been in trouble. Otherwise, with such a good opportunity as King Tan taking over Dabao, they will definitely be able to gain momentum, even with Li Qing here.
At least, that's what they think.
But if that battle continues, all the civil servants who can 'fight' will be sent away in a wave, and the vitality of the civil servant group will be seriously damaged.
The nobility also suffered losses, but it was much less than that of the civil servants, and the titles of the nobility were completely inherited. It can be said that there was basically no loss, and the civil servants suffered the big loss.
But he met the evil star Li Qing again, which suddenly broke up the civil servant's luck.
Otherwise, it would never be the current situation.
It’s all the orthodoxy’s fault…
I'm unhappy, but I can only think about it in my heart and pretend to be happy on my face.
…
After more than half an hour of deliberation, Zhu Jianshen finally made the decision. Each of the six ministries would have one minister, one cabinet minister, nine censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, several Shangshang supervisors, twelve dragon flags, sixty-four cloth flags, and two factories and one guard. Five hundred each, and each of the three major battalions of the capital, one thousand... brought golden dragon chariots to greet them.
This specification is not generally high.
But no one thought it was extravagant. The emperor's standards were as high as the sky.
Although the Supreme Emperor has no real power, on the surface, the treatment he enjoys is no worse than that of the emperor.
This is related to the dignity of the court, and Ming Dynasty is not short of money, so there is no need to be serious about this matter.
Civil and military fights, monarchs and ministers fight, but no one will fight on matters related to the dignity of the court, because this is to protect the ruling class.
After the tone was set, the formal court meeting began and did not break up until the rising sun.
After the dynasty ended, Zhu Jianshen came to Yongning Palace and saw Sister Wan's face full of panic.
"Zhen'er, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable." Wan Zhen'er said sarcastically.
Zhu Jianshen immediately became concerned: "Have you ever sought treatment from an imperial doctor?"
"Uh...it doesn't matter." Zhen'er changed the subject and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, I heard from Concubine De that the Supreme Emperor and Supreme Queen are coming back. Are they true or false?"
"That's it," Zhu Jianshen nodded: "Really, I was just about to tell you. You will come with me when the time comes to greet me."
"It's better not to, it's so embarrassing..."
"What's so embarrassing about this?" Zhu Jianshen laughed: "As my daughter-in-law, of course you have to participate in the ceremony to welcome your father. Not only you, but Concubine Chen and Concubine De will also participate, so don't be nervous."
I'm not nervous, I'm...scared!
Zhen'er was really panicked. Although she was just ordered to run an errand and the culprit was the Empress Dowager Sun, now that the Empress Dowager Sun has passed away, she really needs to settle the score...
"Your Majesty, where did the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Queen come back from?"
"Jinling."
Zhen'er's heart sank and she asked, "But is it related to Marquis Yongqing?"
Zhu Jianshen was shocked: "Why are you...forget it, don't tell anyone."
It's over, Li Qing knows about it... Zhen'er's beauty turned pale.
The Supreme Emperor is a ruthless person, even his own grandfather dared to kill him. She is a daughter-in-law, not yet the head of the palace, and she is quite old... I am afraid she will be liquidated.
In this era, women cannot ask their husbands something like, "Your mother and I fall into the water, who do you save first?" Who is more important, me or your mother...' Such a question.
In the face of filial piety, wives and concubines are nothing!
What's more, the king of a country must set an example for all people in the world.
Zhen'er was really afraid that the Supreme Emperor would operate on her when he came back.
This is how to do?
Zhen'er doesn't want to die, she wants to live well.
Zhu Jianshen thought she was an ugly daughter-in-law who was afraid of meeting her parents-in-law, so he laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. With the Queen Mother and Queen in front, the Emperor won't notice you."
"That's not necessarily the case!" Queen Mother Zhou walked over slowly.
Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment and said hello: "Mother."
He was a little surprised. Didn't I always dislike Zhen'er? Why did she suddenly come to Yongning Palace today?
Zhen'er suppressed her negative emotions and bowed Yingying: "My son, my concubine, see my mother."
"No courtesy." Queen Mother Zhou said calmly, suppressing her nausea.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were said to be incompatible, but now that the Supreme Emperor and Supreme Queen are back, they have become a community of interests.
After all...the two of them were working with Queen Mother Sun back then, and could barely be considered colleagues.
Zhu Jianshen asked curiously: "What did mother Fangcai mean by that?"
"This..." Queen Mother Zhou just wanted to keep her mouth shut, and also wanted to control Zhen'er, but if she really said it, she would offend her son.
"It's nothing," Queen Mother Zhou smiled and said, "She was once the slave of Empress Xiaogongzhang (Sun family), and she is very familiar with your father."
After saying that, he looked at Zhen'er and blinked: "Really?"
This old witch... Zhen'er gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "That's what the Queen Mother said."
She knew that Zhou was trying to make her submissive by using the former Empress Dowager Sun's plan to allocate her to the Supreme Emperor. ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ
Zhu Jianshen didn't know what was going on, so he just smiled and said, "Zhen'er is a bit older, but she doesn't look much older than Concubine Chen and Concubine De. She is still young."
At the end, he added: "Much younger than his peers."
Are you blind? Queen Mother Zhou was very angry: Why, she is as old as your mother and I. You say she is younger than her peers. What do you mean?
If she had to rely on the emperor's son, she would have to have a good fight with Zhu Jianshen.
It's really... filial piety to her!
Zhu Jianshen also realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said, "What about that... the queen is also young, about the same as Zhen'er."
Who is similar to her?
This sentence offended both of them!
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhu Jianshen laughed dryly and said: "I still have official business to be busy with, haha... you guys can chat."
After that, he ran away.
Women and whatnot are really troublesome...
As soon as Zhu Jianshen left, Zhou's momentum suddenly changed and he said majestically: "Everyone, retreat!"
"yes."
The slave bowed and withdrew.
Zhou glanced at Zhen'er and said lazily: "Follow me into the inner hall."
Zhen'er said calmly: "If you have anything to say, mother, just say it directly."
"I'm not negotiating with you." Mrs. Zhou said this and walked straight in.
Zhen'er's chest rose and fell violently, and it took her a while to catch up.
~
Zhou Shijiu occupied the magpie nest, sat on the main seat, and said lazily: "The Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Queen are coming back. Are you panicked?"
The Zhou family, who had been contented for a long time, no longer wanted to be contented.
After learning that the Supreme Emperor was still alive, she understood that there was something fishy about the supernatural events back then. Although she couldn't figure out the reason, she was no longer afraid.
Right now, she just wants to keep her current position and power.
There were only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the palace. Mrs. Zhou was too lazy to pretend and said calmly: "Wan Zhen'er, do you think the emperor would react if he knew that you were almost betrothed to the emperor?"
After a pause, he continued: "The Supreme Empress cannot give birth to an heir, and it was you who secretly caused trouble, right?
Tell me, what will the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress do to you when the time comes? "
Zhen'er narrowed her eyes. If this woman wasn't the emperor's husband's mother, if this wasn't the palace, she would have strangled her to death.
She was really murderous!
"Haha, I was just a slave in the past, how could I control the major events in my life?" Zhen'er's tone became even colder, "As for secretly being detrimental to the Supreme Empress, it is pure nonsense. Don't spit on others with blood."
It is impossible to admit it, this matter is extremely secret, and Sun will definitely not tell anyone else, not even Zhou, about this kind of thing.
When the Empress Dowager Sun gained power, if we asked who she trusted the most, Zhen'er would be ranked second, no one would dare to be ranked first, and the Zhou family would have to step aside.
It is impossible for Zhen'er to admit it until the matter is settled!
Zhen'er retorted: "Dear Holy Mother, Queen Mother, have you heard that the Supreme Emperor is coming back, and have you recalled the days when you were neglected in the past?"
The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother heard the name, in fact, the Queen Mother was the main palace!
"You..." Mrs. Zhou was furious: "Wan Zhen'er, you dare to talk to me like this, do you want to die?"
"Hey~" Zhen'er sneered again and again, "You are like a Buddha crossing the river - you can't save yourself, and you kill this one and that one. If I were you, I would just pack up and move out of Kunning Palace."
She also risked her life. If the Emperor really wanted to kill her, the Queen Mother Zhou could not save her; if the Emperor did not kill her, the Queen Mother Zhou could not kill her.
The future is gloomy, life or death is still unknown. Zhen'er is not used to Mrs. Zhou at all. She hates Queen Mother Zhou for more than a day or two.
"Wan Zhen'er! Kneel down for me!!"
"Ha," Zhen'er sneered, "Do you really think of yourself as the Queen Mother?"
"You, you are so presumptuous!" Mrs. Zhou was trembling with anger, "My son is the emperor, and I am the Queen Mother. Even if Qian comes back, I will still be the Queen Mother."
Zhen'er shrugged and said: "I am the imperial concubine, and I will be the imperial concubine no matter who comes back."
Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "Now, I, the queen mother, order you, the imperial concubine, to kneel down. Are you going to kneel down or not?"
"Don't kneel!" Zhen'er said simply, shouting: "If you really have the ability, just ask the emperor to divorce me. If you don't have the ability, just shut up!"
"Come here, come quickly..." Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she completely forgot that she came today to win over Wan Zhen'er and unite the front.
She has lost her mind now.
However, the next moment, she was stunned.
I saw Zhen'er raising her hand, rounding her arms and giving herself two slaps. She was really good at it, and the red palm prints were visible to the naked eye.
As if she felt it was not enough, she quickly ran to the red lacquered wooden pillar and knocked it hard. Then her body went limp and she collapsed on the ground unconscious.
Zhou: (⊙o⊙)…
