I studied in modern times

Chapter 43 Tea Master
Empress Dowager Gao in the curtain took a deep look, and stood beside her to Empress Xiang.

The queen's face under the phoenix crown hung low.

The beads hanging down also blocked the view, making it difficult for Empress Dowager Gao to see the expression of this daughter-in-law.

She had no choice but to ask in a low voice: "The Queen thinks, what do the officials think?"

Bowing her head to the Queen, she saluted Empress Dowager Gao, and said: "The bride is only obedient to the mother's benevolent orders!"

Empress Dowager Gao was choked immediately and could not speak.

The meaning of the queen is clearly revealed—only the empress's benevolent order is obeyed?The opinion of the bride is not important!

The subtext and unspoken words implied in it make people think carefully and terribly.

But I couldn't find anything wrong with it.

The atmosphere in the curtain suddenly fell into a stalemate.

Every courtier and every female official inside the curtain has already smelled the smoke of gunpowder quietly growing between the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace and the Queen of Kunning Palace.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Gao said to the queen, "Queen, get up!"

The pair of aunts and queens had already separated quietly.

However, in the eyes of the queen.

This is something she has to fight for, and must fight for!

The world of society is left to the sixth brother by the official family.

That child is so sensible, so filial, and in front of her, so well-behaved!
In the Qingning Palace, those words of the empress' mother almost yelled into the Queen's heart.

The flowers that Sixth Brother picked for her are so beautiful when they are worn on her hair!
The sixth brother was afraid that she would be tired, so the scene of beating her back and shoulders for her was still vivid in my memory.

Even in this Palace of Funing.

Brother Six also tugged on her sleeve tightly.

That is to pray for her blessing and support!
I just thought of Sixth Brother grabbing her sleeve and following her closely, pitiful and helpless, looking at her eagerly.

Empress Xiang was in a trance.

The appearance of the sixth brother overlapped with the figure of her poor child who was in the swaddling baby, before she had time to open her eyes, and abandoned her without even her mother yelling.

Queen Xiang always thinks: If my child is still alive, he must be the same as Sixth Brother.

The same filial piety, the same smart, the same sensible.

He will definitely grab my sleeves, and he will definitely look at me pitifully like Brother Six, praying for protection and support.

In the eyes of Empress Xiang, is Empress Dowager Gao really worthy of trust and entrustment?

The answer is: not necessarily!

Since the official's illness, everything that Baoci Palace has done has flashed in the Queen's mind.

Xiang Queen understands it in her heart.

The Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace is indeed the sixth brother's mother-in-law, and she is indeed the birth mother of the official family!
However, Empress Dowager Gao is not like her.

She only has a child like Sixth Brother to rely on, and only a husband like the official family can rely on.

But Empress Dowager Gao has two sons, and at the same time, there are more than a dozen grandchildren and granddaughters Cheng Huan under the empress dowager's knees.

Sixth brother is her only one, but not the only one of the Empress Dowager Baoci Palace.

Here's the difference, here's the difference!
Driven by her mother's love, Xiang Huang faced her aunt fearlessly for the first time.

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a long time, she had already seen it.

The queen is already challenging her.

Although very subtle, although very low-key.

However, the seedlings have grown.

This made Empress Dowager Gao a little unhappy, but there was no reason or excuse.

Because, all the behaviors of the queen are within the scope of etiquette, and they do not exceed the boundary of half-daughter-in-law.

What's more, the young prince is behind the curtain.

Empress Dowager Gao knew that she had to set an example for the prince.

As Zeng Bu said, the prince is smart, handsome, filial, and polite, so his learning ability will exceed imagination!
If she is the mother, she cannot set a good example for the prince.

In the future, when the prince grows up, he might follow suit.

A good Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty may be in her hands and be taught to be Emperor Yang—wisdom enough to refuse advice, words enough to cover up wrongdoing!

If so, after a hundred years, when she arrives at Yonghou Mausoleum, what face will she have to meet the first emperor and the ancestors?
It was precisely because of this concern that Empress Dowager Gao could only say nothing in the curtain, and could only let the officials outside the curtain discuss and discuss.

However, this kind of matter involving etiquette is also related to the discussion on the ownership of power in the world in the future.

And where are the ministers talking in a few words, can they speak clearly?Can you make it clear?
All the ministers have their own opinions.

Especially Wang Gui and Cai Que, out of their respective positions, refused to give in to each other.

It wasn't because he was in front of the emperor, and it wasn't because there were already two burly men in purple robes, staring at each minister with wide eyes, in the Hall of Funing.

I'm afraid that in front of the Palace of Funing, there may be a full martial arts show.

Unfortunately, this matter still needs to come to a result as soon as possible.

Because, Hanlin scholars need to make Ci in Imperial Grass, and they must write a complete Li Chu Ci tonight, and they will read it in the court tomorrow morning.

Under the constraints of various conditions, in the constraints of various rules.

After several confrontations, the prime ministers all understood that it was impossible for them to persuade each other.

Therefore, they can only turn their attention to the only person who can make a final ruling on this without causing sequelae-the emperor on the sick bed.

"You two gentlemen, why don't you ask the king for instructions? How about seeing the holy will?" Li Qingchen's proposal quickly gained the support of other people except Wang Gui.

Wang Gui, who was struggling alone, could only nod after thinking for a while: "Bangzhi's proposal is very good!"

Wang Gui and Cai Que then led the ministers again to play Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang. After obtaining permission, they came to the emperor.

However, when they arrived in front of the king, they found that the official lying on the sickbed had fallen into a coma again at some point.

The ministers looked at each other.

The official family's illness has reached this point?This is what they didn't expect, and it pushed them to the edge of the cliff.

The reason is simple: now that the officials don't know when they will wake up, if they are unable to do so, they should make their due decisions and unify their opinions.

Well, this thing is going to get trickier as time goes on!

If it dragged on until Da Zongzheng and King Sipu arrived, they still couldn't reach a consensus.

Believe it or not, Da Zongzheng and King Sipu are about to go crazy?
Normally, both Da Zongzheng and King Sipu were mascots.

But now, they can really decide on this issue.

They must also be willing to make things difficult for Zaizhi in this matter, so as to prove to the world that they are all loyal ministers and good clans of the Great Song Dynasty!
Even more obedient to the empress dowager, empress, and prince!
As long as this matter is done well, the descendants of Da Zongzheng and King Sipu will benefit in the future.

When the little prince grows up, he only needs to think about how Da Zongzheng and King Sipu were like back then, and with a slight lift of his hand, they can save their descendants several years of trials and tribulations!

Therefore, the chancellors could only turn their attention to the only person who could make up his mind on this matter.

The sixth son of the emperor, the king of Yan'an County, will be the crown prince of tomorrow!

Although he is only eight years old!
Although he is just a child!
But in the current situation, when the officials are sleeping.

He is the only one who can make the final decision.

He is also the only one who can end the debate on this matter in this Palace of Funing!

Therefore, even the chancellors felt extremely absurd in their hearts - the prince was only eight years old!A child with a yellow mouth, does he know the seriousness?

However, they have nowhere to go.

Da Zongzheng and King Sipu may come to Funing Palace at any time.

If a unified decision cannot be made before they come, things may become bigger.

Even without considering this issue.

Just consider the records of today's events in the history of the country in the future.

Most of the prime ministers present couldn't afford it.

Except for Wang Gui, no one dared to delay any longer.

So, no matter how ridiculous and absurd, they can only bite the bullet and do it!
"Your Highness!" Cai Que, the Prime Minister on the right, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to the prince who was kneeling in front of the imperial court: "Your Majesty, Shang Shu You Pu She, Zhong Shu Shi Lang Que, I have something to report!"

All the other ministers held fluoren respectfully.

Even Wang Gui, after a little hesitation, could only worship with fluorene.

Anyway, whatever!

This His Highness is already in front of the imperial court at this time, and has been recognized by the official imperial decree, the approval of the two palaces, and the support of all the officials.

He is already the undisputed crown prince!Future masters of this country!

However, the prince's performance was beyond the expectations of all the officials.

Facing the collective worship and consultation of all the chief ministers in the entire court, he did not panic, nor did he have any misconduct.

He is as calm as a grown-up.

Under the watchful eyes of the officials, this His Highness first kowtowed seriously to the official who was lying on the sickbed, then kowtowed, kowtowed, and kowtowed again.

Then he got up slowly, turned around, and looked at everyone.

There were still tears on his face, and his eyes were still red.

However, his voice was steady as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

"Everyone, what can I ask?" the prince asked softly.

Although the voice is low, it is calm and restrained.

In a trance, the officials seem to have seen the demeanor of the court officials when they sat in the yamen in the past!

Unbelievable!

It’s incredible!
This is an eight-year-old child?
Cai Que swallowed his saliva, held the fluoren and bowed: "The ministers are terrified, dare to play Your Highness: Now, the official family is sick, and before the imperial palace can be recovered, how to deal with the military and state affairs?"

"Your Highness, please lower your command to calm the hearts of the barbarians!"

All the ministers, Chi fluoren bowed again: "Please also lower your highness to command, so as to fix the hearts of the savages!"

Under the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang became nervous.

They were both worried that the prince would lose his bearing, and they were also worried about the young prince, who didn't know the seriousness.

However, in the next second, both Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm young, so I don't know military and state affairs!" The prince's voice came in a low voice.

"However, my father once taught me: in a family, the most important thing is family harmony, and family harmony makes everything prosper!"

Hearing this sentence, both Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang smiled at each other.

Outside the curtain, Sixth Brother's voice continued.

"Father taught, I dare not forget for a day!"

"Right now, although my father is taking medicine and lying ill, my mother is kind and holy, and my queen mother is kind. Since my father took the medicine, he has blessed and supported me. They really love and care for me!"

"I remember that when I was in the Qingning Palace, my mother sat outside my curtain and twirled the quilt for me. There is really no way to repay her kindness!"

"I also remember that the day before yesterday, I tried to ask for a book, and I asked for it at Taimu's place, and Taimu immediately sent me a sage's scriptures. I didn't understand anything, but I asked Taimu for advice, and Taimu answered and responded to everything! Everyone in the family knows her kindness and sage's heart!"

The officials listened, and the little prince in front of him bowed his head deeply when he answered.

The prince is young, but what he said is really reasonable!

Even if it is taken out and let the people of the world evaluate it, no one can pick the wrong one!

It is completely within the teachings of sages, and it is also completely within the common values ​​​​of all scholar-bureaucrats.

Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are really one thing for the Tianjia!
When the prince talks about family affairs, he is talking about state affairs.

Under the watchful eyes of all the ministers, the young prince, the thin prince, bent down slightly, and bowed his hands to the ministers: "I am young, and I don't know military and state affairs, and I don't know the etiquette. I only want the mother and the queen to be happy, so that everyone can be safe, and the government and the people are happy!"

"All the ministers, all the ministers of the emperor, and my humerus!"

"Father, in the past, taught me how to read. He said: I have ten ministers who are rebellious. Confucius praised: Zhou's virtue can be called the highest virtue!"

"I am young and do not know the teachings of the saints!"

"However, all the ministers are chosen at the moment, and the world's reputation is the most important! There must be someone who can teach me, and there must be someone who can secure my family!"

The officials held Yufluoren and lowered their heads.

Before they came, they never expected such a result.

Did the prince say anything?
It seems to have said it!

But what exactly did he say?
Nothing seemed to be said.

But he made his request.

You do what you want!

But one thing - don't ruin my warm and friendly family atmosphere!

But inside the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang were already so moved!

"It turns out that Sixth Brother remembered the fact that I twisted the quilt for Sixth Brother that day..." Empress Xiang burst into tears, unable to restrain herself.

His own son may not be able to look like Sixth Brother!

"The books and teachings given by the old man are so important to the sixth brother's heart?" Empress Dowager Gao also thought.

At the same time, she muttered in her mouth: "Home and everything are prosperous... Home and everything are prosperous..."

While whispering, Empress Dowager Gao wept.

"It turns out...it turns out, Emperor, you have been working hard for this family!"

"It's the queen mother who blamed you by mistake!"

Scenes of the past flashed back in Empress Dowager Gao's heart.

She thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

The fault was that the emperor cared only about the harmony of this family. How could King Yong and King Jia have been living in the forbidden house, and how could they have been cared and cared for by the emperor?
In the past hundred years of the kingdom, there was only one isolated case, the emperor, who was willing to let his brother stay in the palace after he became an adult!

"Why didn't the emperor tell the old man!" Empress Dowager Gao looked at her son, who was lying on the sick bed, motionless, so emaciated, and sobbed sadly.

There are both self-blame and guilt, and more grief!

Everyone says: The child wants to support but the relative is not there.

How many people can know the grief that the white-haired man sent the black-haired man? !

As for, did the emperor ever say to the prince: Family and everything are prosperous?
Do you still have to doubt it?

The prince is only eight years old!

Where did he go to know such philosophical words?Even if he is smart, how can he say such a thing out of thin air?
He doesn't have that knowledge reserve, nor does he have this kind of experience!
