I studied in modern times

Chapter 42 Card Bug
Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu waited for more than an hour in the corridor outside Funing Hall.

Finally, they waited for the courtier who came to pass them into the palace.

"Empress Dowager, Empress, order two bachelors to enter the palace!"

Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu looked at each other, both of them knew that the big event in the palace had been decided, and now they were asked to go in and write up the scriptures.

And the two of them were already ready.

Therefore, the two Hanlin scholars bowed their hands together and said, "Wei!"

Then hold fluoren to follow the minister, step by step, from the Zuo Zhaoqing gate next to the Funing hall to the emperor's bedroom.

Under the guidance of the ministers, the two arrived in front of the emperor, and according to the etiquette, they paid homage to the empress dowager and empress who had already raised the curtain behind the emperor's couch in the Funing Hall.

He bowed his hands and saluted the ministers of the three provinces and two prefectures.

Then he listened to the queen mother in the curtain, and said to them: "You two bachelors, just now the ministers have already reported to the official family, and they have obtained the official's holy will, so they can make the sixth son of the emperor, the king of Yan'an County, the crown prince!"

"That's why, the old man called the two scholars here to make a draft for the prince!"

Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu looked at each other, and then said: "The minister is dead and begged to the imperial court to ask the official family's holy intention!"

It's tradition!

It is also the responsibility of Hanlin Bachelor!
A scholar in the Imperial Academy is a courtier of the emperor's internal system, and a minister who is only loyal to the emperor and only obeys the will of the emperor.

Naturally, Deng Runfu's petition was approved.

So, he and Zeng Bu, holding Yufluoren, went to the imperial couch.

They were thus able to see the prince who had always been kept in the deep palace by the officials and rarely appeared in front of the courtiers.

The two bowed deeply: "Your Highness!"

Deng Runfu was especially excited!
Because, in addition to being a Hanlin scholar, he also has an honorary official title: Huangzi Pavilion Notes.

Although, he never performed this duty.

Even though, he only paid homage to His Highness from a distance last year in the Hall of Conqueror.

But, no matter what, there is no doubt.

This Highness is his Lord!

The principle of superiority and inferiority between the two of them had already been decided on the day he was ordered by the official family to be the recorder of the Prince's Pavilion.

As for Zeng Bu?

Although he was not as excited as Deng Runfu, he was a little excited.

Because the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace once consulted him about the prince's study, which enabled him to establish contact with the future Lord of the Song Dynasty.

Throughout the ages, every minister who can accompany the emperor to study, from the official to the prime minister, has won the trust of the emperor!

Yang Yi in the Zhenmiao period and Yan Shu in the Renmiao period were all like this.

Especially Yan Shu, known as the Prime Minister of Taiping, with disciples all over the world.

Up to now, in the court, there are still important servants who claim to be "disciples of Yan Yuan Xiangong".

Zeng Bu felt that he might not be as good as Yan Shu in writing poems.

However, in terms of the status of the court, there should be room for effort.

Zeng Bu felt that he must be better than Yan Shu in terms of government affairs and financial management!
It was also when the two of them were saluting, the prince who had been kneeling in front of the emperor, sobbing with his head down, also looked back at them.

Although tears were pouring down, Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu watched carefully.

The prince, with sad but not hurt eyes and a calm expression, nodded slightly to the two of them.

Above the etiquette, it is almost the same!

Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu immediately respectfully said, "Your Highness!"

Only then did he dare to go to the front of the imperial court, facing the official family on the imperial couch, bowed his head and worshiped: "Chengzhi Runfu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy (a scholar of the Hanlin Academy), respectfully bow to Your Majesty!"

Then, the two people got up and went to the front of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask whether the emperor's sixth son, the King of Yan'an County, has been approved by the Holy Will?" Deng Runfu asked.

The official on the imperial couch nodded slightly at him, a glint of hope flashed in his eyes.

Deng Runfu held the fluorine and bowed again: "I listen to the imperial decree respectfully!"

Then, the two Hanlin scholars held fluoren and retreated behind the ministers, and Deng Runfu came out to face the Empress Dowager Gao in the curtain, and bowed to the queen with fluoren: "The Hanlin scholar has ordered Runfu to play His Majesty the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the Empress, and has obtained His Majesty's holy will. It should be drafted and reserved!"

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Empress, in front of Xu Chen's Palace, first set up a script to present in front of the palace!"

"Yes!" Empress Dowager Gao replied behind the curtain.

"Good!" Queen Xiang also said, "Thank you, two bachelors!"

Then people brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones and writing desks to the hall, so that the two Hanlin scholars could draft the drafts and main ideas of storing and making Ci here.
For all worship, the officials must personally visit an unnamed small hall under the inner east gate, and order Yulong to lock the courtyard directly.

This time is generally chosen at dusk.

In that small hall, the official family will leave after dictating their will to the Hanlin bachelors.

The Hanlin scholars will write the words of worship in the form of four or six parallel prose on the special white linen paper, using the unique Hanlin characters of the Hanlin scholars.

And before dawn, it was sent to the imperial court, and after being personally reviewed by the officials, it was read out in the court hall.

This is the so-called Xuan Ma!

Now, the official is sick, so it is naturally impossible to come to the academy, and he can't even speak, so he can't dictate the holy will.

The Empress Dowager and Empress, in terms of legal principles, lack the basis to visit the small hall of the inner east gate, and no one would like to see the empress dowager and empress set foot in the small hall of the inner east gate, which belongs to the scope of the emperor's authority - this case must never be opened!Open it, and there will be endless disasters in the future!

Even Zhang Xianming Su, who wanted to visit the small hall of the inner east gate, had to bring Renmiao by his side, and in the name of Renmiao, dictate the general will to the Hanlin scholars.

Therefore, it became the only choice to make a rough draft in the palace, discuss it with the officials, and then present it in front of the palace.

All the ministers in the palace knew about this matter, as did Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang.

Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu got everything they needed very quickly.

The two sat in front of the desk respectively, and began to study ink, while recalling the content of the Guochaoli Chu system archived in the academy.

The main direction of consideration is the words made by Zhenmiao Cerenmiao for the prince and the allusions in them, so as not to use the same or mix them up.

If that's the case, then it's really a laughing stock!
Even the northern captives and western thieves can make jokes!
Therefore, this matter must be cautious and cautious.

Soon, both Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu discovered a problem.

The two raised their heads, looked at the chancellors, and at the figure of the empress dowager and empress in the curtain.

Both Deng Runfu and Zeng Bu got up, prayed with fen, and asked: "I dare to ask Your Highness the Empress Dowager, Your Highness the Empress, how to deal with the affairs of the military and the state before the imperial palace is restored?"

Within the curtain, there was silence.

The ministers and ministers also bowed their heads.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager Gao in the curtain finally asked, "You two scholars, what is the story of the unknown kingdom?"

Deng Runfu held fluoren and replied: "I will play Her Majesty the Empress Dowager: the story of the country and dynasty. When Qian Xing is in power, the Empress Dowager will listen to the government together!"

This is so far the only allusion of the young master's reign that can be based on and verified in the Song Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Gao was quite satisfied when she heard this, so she asked the officials: "Old people, women and children, don't know the allusions of this country... I don't know what you think, what Xueshi Deng said?"

The ministers looked at each other.

Then, most of them turned their eyes to the prince who was kneeling in front of the emperor.

All kinds of stories from the past beat in the hearts of these ministers.

Everyone knows that saying a wrong word now may harm the family in the future.

They don't just have to think about Empress Dowager Gao now.

It is also necessary to consider the attitude of the prince kneeling in front of the emperor, the prince of tomorrow, and the future emperor.

You have to think about it, the attitude towards the queen in the curtain!

the reason is simple.

Empress Dowager Gao was born during the Tiansheng period, and she is now in her fifties.

But the prince is only eight years old, and the queen is only forty.

If you say the wrong thing or show the wrong attitude, you will be pulled from the list and liquidated in the future.

While all the officials were thinking, Wang Gui seemed to have grasped at straws, and he immediately bowed and said: "The minister risked his life to play the Empress Dowager: The story of Qianxing, it is true!"

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, should be invited to listen to the government together, so that your majesty can recover!"

As soon as Wang Gui opened his mouth, Cai Que had already looked over, and his brows were also wrinkled.

Only in my heart, I turned around a few times, hesitated for a moment, Cai Que bit the bullet, and said: "The minister risked his death to play the empress dowager, the empress: if you follow the story, it will be the empress who has the right to listen to the government!"

As he said that, he bowed deeply: "When Gai Qianxing was in full swing, the real temple was unfortunately abandoned, and the world was dying. The imperial edict ordered the crown prince to ascend the throne, respect the empress as the empress dowager, and use the empress dowager's power to listen to the government and handle military and state affairs!"

This is a fact!

This is a fact that everyone in the palace knows!

Wang Gui pretended to understand and pretended to be confused, trying to play word games.

How can Cai Que tolerate him?

Cai Que said, and bowed again after a long body: "The minister is so bold that he thinks that he is almost the same as Qian Xing now!"

"Qian Xing Shiren Temple, Zhang Xian is also the son of Ming Su!"

"The current prince, the Prince of Yan'an County, is also the empress' son!"

"I'm stupid, I don't know what to say, I dare to think that I should listen to the government with the queen's power, so that your majesty can recover!"

As soon as Cai Que finished speaking, the entire Funing Palace was full of discussions.

Because what Cai Que said is indeed true.

When Qianxing was in power, it was Zhang Xianming, Empress Quan Tong who listened to the government!

Moreover, Cai Que's words are also based on reason and etiquette!
Once the palace chariot is driven, the queen will become the empress dowager!
Moreover, it is the empress dowager, the son of heaven's aunt!

In terms of etiquette, is there anyone who has the closest relationship with the emperor than the empress dowager?

Let the aunt not use it, but respect the aunt to listen to the government.

If you don't pay attention to it, the two palaces will compete, and the disaster will be endless!
And what Wang Gui said was not without reason.

The empress dowager is the birth mother of the official family, the prince's mother, and now the official's family is sick, and the prince Youchong is in general, it should be the mother who is in charge of politics!

So should the etiquette!

but……

If the mother-in-law is in charge of the government, where will the mother-in-law and the queen be sent?
If the mother-in-law and the queen take charge of the government, where will the mother-in-law go?

The logic of the ministers has fallen into an endless loop!

Zhao Xu, who was kneeling in front of his father's imperial court, lowered his head, feeling a little complacent.

Because, what happened in this Funing Palace now can be said to be the result of his deliberate shaping.

He got close to Queen Xiang and fought for Queen Xiang, just to get this bug stuck in this moment, in this Palace of Funing, in the Confucian rules of etiquette!
