The originally chaotic court became quiet in an instant, and even the most dull-witted ministers became aware of the situation. The emperor's question was not so much about asking whether the Chao family should be handed over to the Empress Dowager Ji. Going to the harem for interrogation, it would be better to ask, how many people are on the side of the emperor
Not to mention the royalists who had supported Chunjia before he took office, there were those in the east who supported him even more firmly.
The embarrassment was for the neutralists and even some unsteady people in the Ji camp.
After all, not only was Chunjia in the prime of life, but he had also demonstrated his prudence, composure and agility during the years of pro-government. In addition, in the battle surrounding the harem of the former dynasty, it was expected that the enemy would strike first and strike later, and all actions were practical. His appearance as a wise king - if the evaluation last year was not the result of the emperor's deliberate efforts, but now, especially after the temple drama of Mingyue, he can be regarded with a clear conscience as having the ability to revitalize The power of the country.
Especially the courtiers who came from Xiaozong's dynasty were particularly deeply touched.
At that time, Emperor Xiaozong ascended the throne at the same age as Chunjia Ruming. In comparison, even though the concubine of the remote branch of Chunjia was spared no effort to cultivate by his aunt, the teachings and exposure he received from Xiaozong, who was the legitimate son of Shenzong and the Empress Dowager, were vastly different.
In particular, could Xiaozong have the words and deeds of his father, Emperor Shenzong, who was recognized as wise
I have the full support of many veterans.
The most important thing is whether Xiaozong can enter the East Palace as the eldest son of the first wife, and then inherit the throne. He is the true son and grandson, and his reputation is impeccable.
Otherwise, the Ji family was so overwhelmed that they died young without even leaving a son.
Is it true that Xiaozong is strong
Shenzong had two sons on his knees, and he never thought of setting up a regent as a bastard. Naturally, he could devote all the efforts of the country to educate Xiaozong and become a qualified king.
And Emperor Xiaozong was recognized as a talented person who was intelligent, quick and eager to learn... Maybe that evaluation was due to his noble status and the promotion. But judging from the legwork and various actions of the late emperor Liudong, it is clear that his talent is better than ordinary people.
In terms of character, Xiaozong was neither greedy for beauty nor had any special hobbies. He was diligent, took the lead in frugality, and kept wealth among the people by easing corvee work and reducing taxes. In terms of ambition, before his death, he wanted to establish the emperor's younger brother. Buqin himself had no children, but because the regent was older, he was not as easy to control as a child... and I really couldn't fault him.
But it ended up like that, it can be said that the Ji family is too strong.
