After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 546
"The father-in-law and the son-in-law are not related by blood, but the grandfather is related to the grandson. The relationship between the father-in-law and the grandfather and the emperor is not a concept."

"How do you say that?" Queen Ma asked.

"Is this difficult to understand?" Qin Yu said, "Lu Ben is Zhu Biao's father-in-law, but if Zhu Biao dies, the throne will be inherited by the prince born to Zhu Biao and Concubine Lu, then Lu Ben is the emperor's grandfather. "

"If Lu Ben breaks the law, Zhu Biao can kill his relatives righteously. After all, the father-in-law is not that close. But if Concubine Lu's son becomes the emperor, can he deal with his own grandfather?"

"That's a blood relative!"

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma nodded at the same time.Indeed, as the emperor's grandfather, the relationship between closeness and estrangement was brought closer.

"Of course, being the emperor's grandfather is not the ultimate goal pursued by the feudal aristocrats. It is not the fundamental reason why the feudal aristocracy regards the emperor's harem as a must-fight for military strategists."

"Isn't it the root cause?" Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were stunned again, and looked at Qin Yu together.The two of them at this moment are like two students who are thirsty for knowledge,

Looking at his teacher with a look of eagerness for knowledge, he desperately hopes that the teacher can answer their problems.

"Yes." Qin Yu said.

At this moment, he didn't want to be a fool anymore, and answered straight to the point: "In ancient times, benevolence and filial piety were used to govern the country, and the word filial piety was very important."

"The emperors of all dynasties have their ancestors' precepts, that is, the harem must not interfere in politics."

"It's strange that the empress can't do politics, but the empress dowager can."

"If the emperor is young, the empress dowager is in charge of many major political affairs, which is called the regent of the empress dowager. The empress dowager has great power. Sometimes she can contact the ministers, and she can even abolish the emperor and replace him with a new one. For example, during the Wanli period Well, there is no Zhang Juzheng in Wanli to salute, and Empress Dowager Li reprimanded him and threatened to replace him."

"After Wanli heard this, he had no choice but to salute Zhang Juzheng and stand obediently at the door to greet him. As the king of a country, Emperor Wanli had to be a good baby in front of them."

"The key point is that no one has criticized the Queen Mother's regent, she can justifiably regent." Qin Yu continued, "Because even the emperor must be filial."

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Queen Ma asked.

"Yes, we also think there is nothing wrong with this matter." Zhu Yuanzhang said.Emperor Zhu didn't read many books in the early stage, but the education he received later was all feudal ideological education.Therefore, he also subconsciously felt that there was no major problem with the prince's young queen mother being regent, after all, such things had happened too much in the past dynasties.

"Think about it again, who does the Queen Mother belong to, and whose daughter is it?" Qin Yu said.

"The queen mother has a foreign surname, and behind her is the power of the feudal aristocracy!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized, "The emperor must be filial and listen to the queen mother, and the queen mother must also be filial and listen to her father."

"In other words, the Empress Dowager is the regent, and the real master of the court is actually the family behind the Empress Dowager. It is definitely not allowed to be blatant, but they can come secretly."

"If the feudal aristocrats can cultivate a queen mother, then it is equivalent to them controlling the entire government." Qin Yu concluded, "It is easy to grab the fruits of the royal family."

"It turned out to be like this!" After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he punched the floor fiercely.

Listening to what Mr. said today, I have gained a lot of knowledge.

"The feudal nobles gradually took control of the entire government by operating the emperor's harem. Although they are not the emperor on the surface, they can exercise the actual power of the emperor." Qin Yu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth when he heard the words, those feudal aristocratic powers, who operated the emperor's harem, had already been managed by him, and they were successful.

The death of Chang Yuchun and Concubine Chang allowed Lu to become the Crown Princess smoothly.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the prince succeeded to the throne, and the Lu family was the queen.

Moreover, they also killed Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the Chang family, so the son of the Lu family must be the son of the Lu family who will succeed Zhu Biao in the future.In this way, the Lu family will be the empress dowager in the future.

If they try to make Zhu Biaoying die young and the prince is too young to be in charge, then Empress Lu will be the regent.

When the Lu family is regent, the Lu family has mastered all the political power.

What a vicious method!

Regardless of the vicious means, the key is that they have already succeeded in half.The Lu family has become the crown princess, Zhu Xiongying has died, and the Lu family has given birth to a son for Zhu Biao, named Zhu Yunqi.

"This group of villains killed our founding general Chang Yuchun, our daughter-in-law, and our grandson!!!" Emperor Zhu gritted his teeth in hatred, and his heart was secretly ruthless, "We can't wait to see you again!" They cut them into pieces and cut them into pieces! What's even more hateful is that their purpose of doing this is to seize the Great Ming Dynasty we created!"

How much hardship did Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma suffer, how many hardships they experienced, and how many people died to create the Daming Kingdom?Now seeing it, it will fall into the hands of others without knowing it.

Can you make them not hate?
"There are many emperors in history who are vigorously promoting the rule of benevolence and filial piety." Qin Yu showed a mocking smile on his face, "Governing the country with benevolence and filial piety makes the queen mother's regent a legitimate one."

"The Empress Dowager is regent, and the imperial power falls into the hands of the Empress Dowager's family."

"Those emperors who practice benevolence and filial piety are tantamount to saying yes, and they are still counting money for others after being sold."

Zhu Yuanzhang was embarrassed when he heard the words. A few years ago, he was also promoting the rule of benevolence and filial piety.Had it not been for Qin Yu's revelation today, he would not have known that ruling the country with benevolence and filial piety is a feudal aristocracy,
For the royal family, for the people of the world, it is a trap that is high-sounding enough.

The literati of the feudal aristocracy praised the word benevolence and filial piety to an unprecedented height.For a long period of time, what the imperial court implemented was filial piety and integrity.

Moreover, a set of "24 Filial Piety" was compiled to confuse the people.

"Why did most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in history not live long, and died at the age of three or forty?" Qin Yu said, "Now, you should know the reason."

"Because only when the emperor in his prime dies, will there be a young prince who will succeed him. The prince is too young to be in charge, and the queen mother with a foreign surname can stand up and preside over the overall situation of the court. Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, the long-lived emperor Not many, not many, but only a handful, and there are quite a few empress dowagers in power."

"On the surface, the emperor seems to be the Ninth Five-Year King, but if the feudal nobles are not eliminated, then they are just playthings in the hands of the feudal nobles. Let him die whenever the feudal nobles want him to die."

"How powerful are the feudal nobles?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze when he heard the words.

"This is not alarmist talk." Qin Yu said, "Wanli has been the emperor for decades, but he has been a puppet for decades. The power of the government is all controlled by the Queen Mother Li and Zhang Juzheng."
