On this day, there was a quarrel in the court over the canonization of the former queen.
Recently, this incident has become a cannon barrel that explodes when it gets wet. As long as it is mentioned, it will cause a quarrel, and the quarrel will never end.
The ministers expressed their own opinions, some said that they should follow the last edict of the previous emperor, and some said that this move violated the rules of ethics.
Those who hold the ethical guidelines are all old ministers, rigid in thinking, pedantic, and firmly believe that the elder and the younger are orderly, there is a distinction between the seniors and the inferior, the father is the father, and the mother is the mother. All the rules and regulations of human beings must be determined by upholding ethics... If there is no ethics, there will be no rules and regulations. At that time, the father is not the father, the son is not the son, the upper is not up, the lower is not down, and the world will be in chaos...'
This set of rhetoric has been smashed by these people recently, and some ministers who are not pedantic can hold a few words.
Because these remarks are indeed justified, every time they come across such remarks, those who support the will of the edict sect will be a bit out of whack. Today, just as the widow sect was getting cramped, a civilian came out, speaking concisely, but hitting the nail on the head.
"What do you mean by the three principles? It is called the ruler and the minister, the father and the son, and the husband and wife. The ruler is the ruler, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. Why fight for such a simple thing!"
This statement is rather silly.
Those who say that ethics are the norm are all saying that we should follow ethics, that the father is the father and the mother is the mother. This is irrefutable. If you don't act according to the ethics, the rules will be messed up in the future.
These words are aimed at Emperor Jing, which means that he must exercise filial piety, abide by ethics, canonize the former empress as the Virgin Empress Dowager, and refute the last emperor's edict, after all, the last emperor's edict is against ethics. If you don't follow it, you'll lose your filial piety.
Even if no one says it explicitly, everyone understands the truth.
Emperor Jing also understands.
And what this civil official said is also the guideline of ethics, but from a different angle, what are the three guidelines, the ruler guides the minister, the father guides the son, and the husband guides the wife. The ruler lets the subject die, the subject has to die, the father guides the son, before the father, the son must obey, the husband guides the wife, and the wife must obey the orders of the husband.
The first emperor was the king, the father, and the husband. Why didn't you listen to the emperor? The new king wants to be filial, but he can't violate the king's order and the father's order, so why do you use Lunchang to accuse the emperor
Both arguments are reasonable, and the reason is the same, that is, the viewpoints are contradictory. The father said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and each had its own reason. Therefore, a long-lasting tug of war was launched.
And Emperor Jing, who was supposed to be able to decide independently, has not made any comments because of the subtlety of his position.
***
As the matter of the former empress has not been finalized, the canonization of the new concubine and the relocation of the concubines of the former emperor to the palace are still on hold.
Although Emperor Jing had ascended the throne, he still lived in the East Palace with his family.
Xiao Shi was also very indignant about what happened to his aunt this time at the beginning. He felt that the late emperor was really unrighteous, and he died when he died.
But after a long time, because the aunt's canonization has been deadlocked, and his canonization has not been mentioned in the articles of association, the Xiao family is anxious.
The Xiao family also sent someone to the East Palace and asked her to say a few good words in front of Emperor Jing. First, she was speechless in front of Emperor Jing, and secondly, her current status was extremely embarrassing.
When the Xiao family came again, the Xiao family complained.
The people who came from the Xiao family were naturally the mother of the Xiao family, including the nominal mother-in-law Mrs. Xiao. They also took Xiao's words back. Now, Xiao's status is embarrassing. It is said that she is a crown princess. Her husband is already an emperor, not to mention a crown princess, and there has been no canonization. Now the palace is just called the Empress of the Xiao family, but what kind of empress? So many ladies.
And because Xiaohua's belly grew bigger, Xiao Shi was even more resentful and panicked. After giving birth to His Majesty's eldest prince and princess, and then a second prince, she has nowhere to stand. Now Xiao's wholeheartedly wants to officially confirm her queen's throne.
The Xiao family is now facing a very embarrassing situation.
Should we continue to hold on and do our best to keep the position of the Queen Mother, or take down the Empress of Xiao first. The Queen Mother has always been in a stalemate, and the situation here is not good for the Xiao family. This is a multiple-choice question that is difficult to choose. There is no doubt that the Queen Xiao weighs a lot more than the Xiao family, and the queen mother's weight is much heavier than the queen. The Xiao family ignored the complaints.
Seeing that the Xiao family didn't help him, he scolded her in front of Mrs. Xiao, saying that the Xiao family didn't take us as their own, but only as a tool that could be used. Back then, for their own selfish interests, they married her to a dumb person. I separated myself and my cousin, and now I still ignore myself for others.
Mrs. Xiao understands who Xiao's words are saying, and she also has complaints in her heart. When he went back, he complained in front of Xiao's father, so he didn't need to say it.
While there was chaos outside, Xiaohua lived a peaceful life.
At the beginning of the funeral of the late emperor, he had to kneel and cry every day. Not only Xiaohua, but also Ye'er Yiyi must go. The two children lost a circle of weight, and Xiaohua also felt fetal gas in her crying spirit. In the end, Emperor Jing ordered her to go back and raise the baby with peace of mind. The two children are young, and there is no need to go every day. Just fine.
After lying on the couch for half a month, the imperial doctor allowed Xiaohua to get out of bed.
It was time for the court to come today, and Emperor Jing did not go to the imperial study, but went straight to the East Palace. When they came to Xiaohua Courtyard, the two of them had a meal before going to rest on the couch.
Xiaohua leaned to one side, rubbing the temples of Emperor Jing who was lying under her armpit.
"Isn't there a conclusion about the matter of the Empress?"
"They love to quarrel, so let them quarrel."
Xiaohua laughed and teased, "Isn't Your Majesty getting a headache every day from arguing?"
Emperor Jing changed his posture and rubbed Xiao Hua's belly with his cheeks, not to tell her that he was tired every day, but wanted her to rub it, and lay down like this for a while.
Not long after he ascended the throne, there were many things to do. In fact, it was not only the canonization of Empress Xiao, but also a lot of things to do. Of course, Emperor Jing had a deeper understanding of the Xiao family, and being able to mobilize so many people to echo the canonization of the former queen as the queen mother shows that the power of the Xiao family should not be underestimated.
Of course, he didn't mind that he was arguing about the former queen every day in the courtroom, distracting everyone's attention, and other things would be easier to do.
However, Emperor Jing wouldn't tell Xiao Hua'er about these troubles. She only needed to stay here, stay where he could see, and take good care of the fetus.
"Did the child kick you again?"
Xiaohua touched her stomach, "Fortunately, they are more obedient than Ye'er and the others."
More than five months of pregnancy, fetal movement has long been.
"I'll sleep for a while, and I'll have to go to the imperial study later."
Xiaohua was not talking, changed her posture, lay down beside him, ready to take a nap with him.
***
After arguing for more than a month, everyone was arguing for no reason at the end.
It was originally due to the canonization of Empress Xiao, but in the end it became a dispute between everyone.
Today, after the quarrel was over, Emperor Jing did not say that we would discuss again next time as he did before, but instead said a few words.
The general meaning is, you see that you have been arguing for so long, and I have always given everyone the opportunity to give full play to their eloquence, but you are too unsatisfactory and have never been able to compete. Do it.
The words are not the original words, but everyone can understand the meaning inside.
The emperor is not in a hurry, but the ministers are jumping in a hurry. Why didn't he think of the meaning of exploring the new emperor first
In fact, it's not that he didn't detect it, it's just that Emperor Jing has always been very calm and has not revealed any clues. It was only at this time that he opened the dragon's mouth, and everyone suddenly realized.
The Xiao family is very powerful. There is a former queen and another queen mother. The new emperor's empress who is about to be canonized is also from the Xiao family. It is estimated that any emperor does not want to have two powerful Xiao family women in his harem.
In fact, not only the emperor is unwilling, but many ministers are also unwilling.
Suddenly, the hall was quiet.
Regardless of whether it was based on the arbitrariness of imperial power or due to factional disputes, anyone with a little political sense would not dare to interfere in this matter. Of course, the minister with the Xiao family's instructions still wanted to jump, but looking at the current situation, he didn't dare to say anything. If you want to speak out again at this time, someone will definitely come up with the big hat of shaking the society with ulterior motives, and no one can afford this.
I have to say that Emperor Jing's hand is very beautiful.
I'm very assertive, but I'll watch you argue first. Since you can't argue, don't say that I acted arbitrarily as soon as I ascended the throne, not to mention that I don't teach filial piety, and even you can't argue, as the central point of the matter , my dilemma can be imagined.
Some people even speculate that the civil servant who proposed the three cardinal guides and five permanent members was instigated by the new emperor
All in all, Emperor Jing's inscrutable face put a lot of pressure on some people, so this matter is settled for the time being.
Things will be alright.
The imperial decree of the canonization of the former queen was immediately passed down.
Empress Xiao was named a concubine, and the word 'emperor' was added due to her special status. But no matter how you add it, what is the difference between the imperial concubine and the concubine, the difference is that the imperial concubine sounds better than the concubine.
It is incomparable with the Empress Dowager Notre Dame. The Empress Dowager is the mother of the emperor and needs to be respected. She can live in the Cining Palace and enjoy the entire harem and even the emperor and the empress. It is a state-owned ceremony in every country, and the position is on the emperor...
There is no need to mention the various resentments of Concubine Xiao, and the words 'you are so cruel' have been said countless times in my heart.
The former queen canonized the edict, and then it was the matter of Xu Guifei, who accompanied Emperor Xiaochun away.
The first emperor's widow was posthumously named after the imperial concubine, and was buried together as the queen. But he did not issue this posthumous edict, but asked the new emperor to do it, and he did not know what it meant.
Is it because you can't bear to hurt Xiao Huangtai's heart? But looking at Xiao Huangtai's current situation, I don't think the kindness of the late emperor is going to be, in short, it's hard to understand.
Emperor Jing didn't think too much about it, so he named Xu's concubine Xianshun as Empress Xianshun, and was buried with the emperor in the tomb of the emperor. Of course, there is still a place reserved for Xiao Huang's concubine in the imperial mausoleum, but the original emperor and queen were buried together, and it became one emperor and two queens buried together.
Wrong, it was one emperor and three empresses. Of course, Emperor Jing did not forget to pursue his own mother as the empress dowager and move the mausoleum into the imperial mausoleum.
After the emperor's business was done, it was his own business.
The first and most important thing is the closure.
Compared with the neatness of Emperor Qian's handling of the matter between Emperor Xiao and Empress Xianshun, this action seemed a little delayed. Seeing that Emperor Jing had not moved, someone was anxious, and a minister brought up the matter. Emperor Jing did not say no, but said that the matter of the concubine Xiao had dragged on for so long, and he and his family are still living in the East Palace.
The subconscious in the words is that the emperor, I, has not moved the palace for a long time because of your useless stalemate. The house hasn't moved yet, what are you anxious about
The old minister was ashamed and flushed. People who don't know what to do, don't think there is anything, and some individual elites can see the clue.
It is said that this majesty has a spoiled empress, who gave birth to the eldest prince and the eldest princess, and is now pregnant with Liujia. In contrast, Xiao Niangniang has been married to His Majesty for decades and has yet to bear children.
Is it possible that this is the rhythm of wanting to change the queen
The ministers who want to use the new king to gain a sense of existence are naturally excited, and secretly make various preparations, just in case that the time must not allow His Majesty to do such a foolish act.
If you want to see the Xiao family’s jokes, you should sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. You Xiao family originally wanted to be one palace and two queens. Now the old one has been tricked by the first emperor, but don’t laugh when the young one is tricked by the new emperor. Lost the big teeth of the people of the capital.
The author has something to say: ps: ⊙﹏⊙Khan, I have referenced a lot of information, the ancients were not lightly mutilated by the three cardinal guides and five permanent members, I feel that this is all the conspiracy of the emperor, specially used to educate the people.
I think Jiajing is very good. An emperor and a group of ministers actually won the fight, ignoring that you were killed at the gate of the labor palace. Just because of a name, the emperor himself named his father, but the minister did not agree to be killed, Emma, a strange brain circuit, ⊙﹏⊙Khan
