Chapter 59. 58. It really is "Yin Dao kisses"
The mausoleum of Empress Dowager Bo is buried in Bailuyuan, on the south side of Baling Mausoleum of Emperor Xiaowen.Baling tops its position and lives below it.Across the Weishui River, I look to the left at the Changling Tomb of her husband Gaozu Liu Bang, and to the right to look at the Baling Tomb of his son Wendi Liu Heng.
This is also the wish of Emperor Xiaowen, to take his wife away from his mother.
Empress Dowager Bo was honored as empress dowager because Liu Heng succeeded to the throne as emperor, but she had never been a queen. If she entered Changling, she would definitely not be able to compete with Lu Houling.By burying his mother in the Xinling area of his choice, Liu Heng's mother and son will be able to accompany each other in the netherworld.For Liu Heng, who has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, this is nothing less than great happiness.
The layout of the imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty was influenced by the Zhaomu system.The Zhaomu system is an important ancestral temple system in ancient times. The successive monarchs of a dynasty must be strictly ranked in the ancestral temple.
Of course, the Changling of the great ancestor Liu Bang occupies the ancestral throne.The Anling of Hui Emperor Liu Ying is located on the right of Changling, which also conforms to the Zhaomu system in which father left and son right.But Liu Heng and Liu Ying are both the sons of Liu Bang, and Liu Ying's Anling occupies the Mu throne. How should Liu Heng's imperial tomb be arranged?Only another mausoleum area was opened up.
Bailuyuan has always been known as "Changshou Mountain". It is nestled in the embrace of Zhongnan Mountain. It has an excellent natural location, surrounded by water on three sides, fertile land, quiet environment, and four distinct seasons.The blessed land of fairyland is the best choice as the mausoleum of emperors and royal families, so as to bless future generations.
After removing the "two big mountains" above her head - Empress Dowager Bo and Emperor Wen, Empress Dowager Dou's back became hardened! In the era of "governing the world with filial piety", the emperor's words are the imperial edict, and the emperor's mother's words are the emperor's imperial edict!
Backed by the emperor's son, Empress Dowager Dou used the excuse of being sad after the death of Emperor Wen to stay in Jiaofang Hall. In fact, she was deeply dissatisfied with Empress Bo and Empress Dowager Bo.
When the rumors that Mrs. Shen might be made queen were rampant, Empress Dou endured too much humiliation and pressure, and even the concubines in the Taiwo uterus despised this dear mother-in-law.After bearing humiliation for so many years, it's time to explode!
After Empress Dowager Dou moved to Changle Palace, Empress Bo moved to Jiaofang Palace.Empress Dowager Dou sighed with a nose that was not a nose, and a face that was not a face, "There are three unfilial acts, the greatest of which is having no descendants. How can this Jiaofang Palace be dominated by women without descendants?" Empress Bo panicked and blamed herself with a low eyebrow.
As swollen as Queen Dou, there is also the Zang family of Changling Tianfu.Both daughters are the favorite concubines of the new emperor, and her grandson Liu Xiaozhu is even more her heart and soul.She asked someone to deliver a message several times, asking Wang Zhi to take Liu Zhi back to the provincial farm.Wang Zhi ignored it.
Elder brother Wang Xin, younger brothers Tian Fu and Tian Sheng are all on Zang's topic.It wasn't that Wang Zhi didn't want to support her brother, but the situation was not clear. She only wrote back to Zang, asking her brother to get closer to Empress Dowager Dou's natal family.
Empress Dowager Dou was originally a son of a good family who entered the palace. Her family was poor and her brothers had been separated for many years.His younger brother Dou Guangguo is virtuous, but he has no intention of becoming an official.Only the nephew Dou Ying has virtue and talent, and actively becomes an official.
Not long after the Empress Dowager died, there was also the "honest man" Prime Minister Shen Tujia. The "honest man" was so angry that he vomited blood and died.
The whole story started from Chao Cuo.
Both Chao Cuo and Jia Yi are young talents, and their political opinions are also similar, especially the view that a strong country will inevitably pose a threat to the central government, which is surprisingly consistent.However, Jia Yi has never been reused, and his political views have basically not been implemented. He died of depression at the age of 33.
And Chao Cuo was reused!His political views have been implemented!As the emperor's teacher, Chao Cuo often requested to be summoned alone by the former prince's family order, but Emperor Jing did not allow it, and favored Glory more than Jiuqing.
With the strong support of Emperor Jing, Chao Cuo changed many laws and regulations.At the same time, it also discusses how to weaken the power of the princes and kings by means of relegation and punishment.
But Prime Minister Shen Tujia's treatment was just the opposite. He didn't listen to what the emperor said, and he didn't accept any suggestions.Shen Tujia didn't dare to hate the emperor, so he could only hate Chao Cuo, waiting for the opportunity to kill Chao Cuo.
Chao Cuo served as the internal historian (the special mayor of Chang'an). The gate of the internal historian's mansion originally led out of the palace from the east, which made it inconvenient for him to enter and exit. In this way, he opened a door from the south wall on his own initiative.The wall that was cut out was the outer wall of the Supreme Emperor's Ancestral Temple.
Shen Tujia was overjoyed when he heard about it.How dare you Chao Cuo break ground on the head of the Supreme Emperor?This is a great crime against the Nine Clans!Chao Cuo, Chao Cuo, I finally let you fall into my hands!Shen Tujia's mood was like that of Meng Jiao's "After Enrollment", and he probably sang this idea by humming a little song.
So, someone immediately told Chao Cuo.Chao Cuo was so frightened that he broke into three catties of cold sweat, and ran to the palace overnight to meet Emperor Jing, explain the situation, and ask for punishment.
In the early morning of the next day, Prime Minister Shentu spoke uprightly and asked the emperor to punish the sinner Chao Cuo.
Emperor Jing said: Chao Cuo, the wall he chiseled is not the real ancestral temple wall, but the short outer wall of the ancestral temple.There are also some idle officials living there, so it doesn't matter.Besides, I asked him to open the door on the wall, so Chao Cuo didn't do anything wrong.This memorial is over, over!Next!
Prime Minister Shentu took a sap and could only apologize to Emperor Jing.After retiring from the court, Shen Tujia said to the prime minister's secretary, Shi, the prime minister's secretary, I'm such a pig!It should be cut first and played later!Kill Chao Cuo first, then report to the emperor!In the end, he was beaten to death by Chao Cuo.
After returning home, the more Prime Minister Shentu thought about it, the more useless he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he became angry. He didn't come up in one breath, and directly spurted half a basin of blood, and died of exhaustion.
The imperial court is a "revolving door", and there will always be people who shuttle back and forth between forces, seeking their own best interests.Otherwise, how would Chao Cuo know that Shen Tujia was going to perform?
Emperor Jing bestowed the posthumous title of "Marquis of Jie" on Prime Minister Shentu.The phase is vacant, who will fill the gap?
Chao Cuo became more popular.Emperor Jing seems to be thinking about appointing Chao Cuo as prime minister...
"Selling goods to the emperor's family. Your ability must have a suitable platform to show its value." Wang Zhi said to Yuan An, "Go to see Wei Qihou Dou Ying and ask him to recommend you for an official position. I will also speak well in front of Your Majesty. "
Yuan Ang fell to the ground and wept: "Madam was in Wudi, she once called Ang. Now I see it again, and Ang must be driven by Madam, to repay the kindness of knowing you!"
Wang Yan laughed: "Yuan Xiangsu has a reputation for talent, he serves the country, and shares the worries of the emperor, so he is a wise man."
At the critical moment, this Yuan Zuipao still needs to contribute!Wang Zhi naturally wants to win over.So she pushed Yuan Ang to Queen Mother Dou.
When Mrs. Shen was favored, Emperor Wen took Mrs. Shen and Empress Dou to Shanglin Garden to play.When the ministers were entertained, Lang's office arranged Mrs. Shen and Empress Dou to sit next to the Holy Majesty.Yuan An pulled Mrs. Shen's seat behind Emperor Wen, saying that there was an orderly hierarchy, Empress Dou was a wife, and Mrs. Shen was a concubine, and the people could not favor concubines and destroy their wives, and the emperor could not allow concubines to sit on an equal footing with the empress.
At that time, Mrs. Shen was so angry that she got up and left the banquet, and Emperor Wen also left in a huff.Empress Dou was so grateful to Yuan An, she did not fear the emperor, and took care of her face.
Empress Dowager Dou, who is now rousing herself, is no longer the empress dowager Dou who used to be an embarrassment. She suppressed the emperor's son with a word, and Emperor Jing still wanted to give face to the old mother.
Empress Dowager Dou's dominance often makes her eldest son Liu Qi speechless.She recommended Wei Qihou Dou Ying to her son as prime minister, and Liu Qi was so angry that she only said one sentence.
"Dou Ying is a person who likes to be complacent, not stable enough, and difficult to be a good friend!"
In order to stop Empress Dowager Dou, Emperor Jing appointed Tao Qing, the censor, as his prime minister, and Chao Cuo took over as the censor.However, Empress Dowager Dou was still honored and Yuan An was used.
Although Yuan Ang had serious flaws in his outlook on the overall situation when King Wu rebelled, he was law-abiding, courteous, and a chivalrous man, and he had a reputation for speaking out and daring to advise.Emperor Jing also recognized it.
In a blink of an eye, it was August, and it was time to offer sacrifices to gold.
Liu Wu, king of Liang, has always been by Empress Dowager's side since Empress Dowager Bo passed away and returned to Beijing.The gold was sacrificed, and the princes and kings returned to Beijing, and there were many complaints about it.
Emperor Jing held a family banquet to see his younger brother off.The country of Liehou, this is the testimonials, Dowager Dou is reluctant to let go of her precious young son, so she must have a sense of the overall situation!
Seeing Wang Zhi's eyes sinking like water, Liang Wang lost his mind for a moment.But Wang Zhi ignored it directly, and there was no trace of disturbance on his calm smile.
"Brother Huang cut down a few feudal vassals on the grounds that the quality of the gold sacrifice was not good enough. When will it be my turn?" King Liang frequently toasted his brother and asked questions.
"Why is the emperor so worried? You and your elder brother are born of the same mother, sibling brothers. Your elder brother is the son of heaven, so naturally there are you in this world!" Empress Dowager Dou was a little displeased, and blamed the restraint of her youngest son.
"What the queen mother said is very true!" Liu Qi said carelessly to coax the queen mother to be happy, "The Han family is under heaven, and the Liu family is a heavenly gift! I am the emperor, and my younger brother is also the emperor! After a hundred years, I will pass it on to the emperor's younger brother!"
Liu Wu thumped and knelt down: "The imperial brother is drunk, and the minister dare not be!"
Wang Zhi wished he could go up and kick this nonsense Liu Qi to death!A good family dinner, let you make a wish!
Hearing that Liu Qi and Liu Wu were so respectful as brothers and sisters, Empress Dowager Dou smiled: "Dao Yin kisses you, Dao Zhou respects you, and his righteousness is the same!"
It really is "Yin Dao kisses"!
Wang Zhi sneered, what should happen, cannot be avoided after all.
"Yin Dao kisses and kisses" refers to the fact that Yin Shang attached great importance to family and friendship, and practiced brotherhood and brotherhood.When the King of Shang dies, all his sons will succeed to the throne one by one from oldest to youngest.When the king of Shang offered sacrifices to his ancestors, he not only offered sacrifices to his father and ancestors, but also to his father's brothers, including those uncles who died early and failed to ascend the throne.
And "Zhou Dao Zun Zun" means that Zhou people valued the hierarchy of honor and inferiority, and implemented the system of succession by the eldest son, and the status of the eldest son was higher than that of other sons.After the death of the emperor of Zhou, the throne was passed on to the eldest son. Even if the princes are the elders of the emperor, they must abide by the etiquette of the courtiers in front of the emperor.Therefore, it can be said that merchants rule the country with their families, and Zhou people run their families with the state.Merchants value family affection, and Zhou people value etiquette.
The system of the Zhou people seemed indifferent and ruthless, but it stabilized the order and consolidated the rule.The businessman's system seems to be warm and affectionate, but it eventually brings hidden dangers.
Because after the death of King Shang, the youngest of the brothers, whether the throne will be passed on to the son of the eldest or the son of the youngest is not fixed. It is often arranged randomly by the king of Shang. There are two situations.And this kind of randomness can easily cause dissatisfaction and civil strife.After Zhong Ding in the Shang Dynasty, various younger brothers contended for the establishment, which led to the chaos of the Nine Dynasties.The national power plummeted, and the princes never ruled.It was not until Pan Geng moved to Yin and completely got rid of those troublesome relatives that the revival began again.
Angry Wang Zhi got up and left the table.Seeing that the wet nurse had just nursed Liu Xiaozhu, she hugged and teased the tiger-headed doll.At this time, only Little Pig can make her happy.
Wang Zhi said: "Learn and learn from time to time..."
"Don't you mean it?" Liu Xiaozhu continued.
"Friends come from far away……"
"Isn't it a joy?"
"People don't know but don't feel stunned..."
"Isn't he a gentleman?"
Talking and answering with Xiaozhuzhu, Wang Zhi was very happy.For a baby who is less than two years old, other children are still making trouble, but Liu Xiaozhu has already spoken!
"Sister-in-law..."
Turning to see King Liang, Wang Zhi lowered his face.She said to Little Piggy, "Uncle Huang."
Liu Xiaozhu yelled childishly, causing Liang Wang to hold out his arms and hug him: "How can there be such a smart child?!"
Liu Xiaozhu avoided him with a smile, and lay down in his mother's arms.
Wang Zhi bowed his head and hugged Liu Xiaozhu tightly, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Liang, don't believe in such a stern kiss! Be your Prince Anwen properly!"
Liang Wang's face changed: "What does the emperor's wife mean by this? The only regret in my life is that I can't love the one I love!"
With tears in his eyes: "God is not fair! Let Gu be a younger brother... If Gu is the elder brother, you and he will still be the crown prince." Pointing to Liu Xiaozhu in Wang Zhi's arms, Liang Wang said word by word, "It's all lonely!"
Holding the child, Wang Zhi took two steps back, "His Royal Highness, the reality is like this, why should you be unwilling? No one can change it. You and I are destined for nothing after all. Even if you come to the world, what can you change? Besides, King Liang is not suitable. For the emperor?"
King Liang's eyes burst into flames: "Why did the emperor's sister-in-law say this? I am not suitable to be an emperor. Am I so unbearable? Is it due to lack of virtue or lack of talent?"
"It has nothing to do with virtue and talent! Doesn't His Royal Highness Liang know that a king's heart is as iron as ice?" Wang Yan couldn't help crying, "If you can be a holy king, you shouldn't miss tenderness! Since I am a sister-in-law, Your Highness should respect you Stay away, not never forget! If you can be a sage, you should not stay in the capital, abide by the law, set your own example, and guard the land of the country! If you can be a sage, you should not be greedy for the position of emperor, and you should not covet it Heart, resign yourself to your fate!"
"Wang Yan!" Liang Wang gritted his teeth, "Is this what you think of me? I should resign myself to my fate and wait for your husband to find an excuse one day to get rid of the country and seize the title?"
"Then you feel disobedient? You are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire!"
"But my brother said it! He will pass on to me a hundred years later!"
"Hmph! It's ridiculous! Since you are worried about your brother getting rid of the country and seizing the title, why do you believe that he will be passed on to you? Is the throne of the Liang Kingdom greater, or the throne of the big man?"
"With the queen mother here, the imperial brother will definitely pass on to me!"
"Put away your ambitions. If you weren't thinking about the throne, how could the empress talk about Yin Dao's relatives? The empress is spoiled and indulged, either to help you or to harm you!"
"Wang Zhi, I understand that you are for your son..." Liang Wang smiled sadly, "No matter how much I value you, it is not as important as your son to you! Mrs. Wang, who was born as the son of heaven, really thought that your son would be able to be born in the same day." Son? He is not the eldest son, is he just like me? Are you persuading me to accept my fate, and let him accept his fate too?"

If you can be a sage, you should not stay in the capital, abide by the law, set your own example, and guard the land of the country! If you can be a sage, you should not be greedy for the position of emperor, and you should not covet it Heart, resign yourself to your fate!"
"Wang Yan!" Liang Wang gritted his teeth, "Is this what you think of me? I should resign myself to my fate and wait for your husband to find an excuse one day to get rid of the country and seize the title?"
"Then you feel disobedient? You are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire!"
"But my brother said it! He will pass on to me a hundred years later!"
"Hmph! It's ridiculous! Since you are worried about your brother getting rid of the country and seizing the title, why do you believe that he will be passed on to you? Is the throne of the Liang Kingdom greater, or the throne of the big man?"
"With the queen mother here, the imperial brother will definitely pass on to me!"
"Put away your ambitions. If you weren't thinking about the throne, how could the empress talk about Yin Dao's relatives? The empress is spoiled and indulged, either to help you or to harm you!"
"Wang Zhi, I understand that you are for your son..." Liang Wang smiled sadly, "No matter how much I value you, it is not as important as your son to you! Mrs. Wang, who was born as the son of heaven, really thought that your son would be able to be born in the same day." Son? He is not the eldest son, is he just like me? Are you persuading me to accept my fate, and let him accept his fate too?"
