Chapter 26 third quarter

Early the next morning, Shuangxi thanked and resigned, returned to Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, and secretly expressed Concubine Li's gratitude to Queen Mother Dong for her painstaking protection, and her determination to cheer up and live a good life.With such a result, the Empress Dowager Dong has settled one of her worries, so she had to praise Shuangxi again. Then talking about her order to visit all the palaces, the Eastern Empress Dowager discussed with the Western Empress Dowager, and it was decided that starting from August 20, the concubines in each palace would start their journey one after another.Then the head of the respect room was sent, and he was ordered to notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the palaces to prepare separately.There are many trivial details in it, most of which are requests made by the concubines for their own convenience. It needs to be arranged by the queen mother, and it took two full days to sort it out.

But this is because the Eastern Empress Dowager is busy, and the Western Empress Dowager deliberately does not ask about these trivial matters of the palace, and what she pays attention to is the court worker Zhang Zuo.On this day, the Memorial Office handed over a yellow box, opened it, and saw the first memorial, titled "Shandong Road Inspector Censor" Dong Yuanchun, who thought it was a dereliction of duty official, couldn't read a few lines, Qu Ran was moved, I couldn't help but read aloud: "It's important to follow the power, and it's advisable to abide by the scriptures. What is it to follow the power? It's an eventful autumn in the world. His Majesty the Emperor is going to practice the old age. All government affairs depend on the empress dowager. This is the blessing of the country! I think it is appropriate to issue an imperial decree and announce it both at home and abroad, so that people all over the world will know that although the emperor is young, the empress dowager temporarily manages the government, and the left and right cannot interfere. Don't dare to use the tricks of deception. After a few years, the emperor will be able to personally manage the general affairs, and then take care of all the opportunities to support the world. Isn't it good? Although I am facing the ceremony without the curtain of the queen mother, I have to judge the situation. This act of exercising power and making changes, this so-called thing is all about power!"

After reading this, the Empress Dowager stopped to think for a while. Seeing the wording of this memorial, it alluded to the monopoly of the eight ministers of Gu Ming. The reason for the empress dowager to hang the curtain was not thorough enough. Let's see that he "reasonably abides by the scriptures" What are you talking about?So he went on to read: "What is meant by keeping the scriptures? Since ancient times, the emperors have always regarded relatives and respecting the virtuous as a top priority. Among the princes, Jian sent one or two people to assist the prime minister in all affairs, so that each of them could plan with all his heart, and then asked the empress dowager to make decisions and implement them. To assist the saints and virtues, one or two of the ministers should be selected with excellent governance skills to serve as masters, to teach the classics day by day, to expand the saints, and to learn the ways of governing the rise and fall of chaos in ancient and modern times. And the holiness is increasing day by day, so the so-called principles should be followed by scriptures!"

After reading this memorial, her state of mind was the same as when she heard the news of being selected into the palace. Apart from bursts of excitement, she only felt at a loss.What kind of person is Dong Yuanchun who presented this memorial?Is the original intention of this memorial to be against the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming, or to speak for King Gong, or is the purpose to spy on the intention?Difficult to tell.At the same time, she didn't know how to deal with this note, whether to distribute it according to the general practice, or to explain the handling method in person when the eight ministers were summoned, and if so, how to explain it?

Her heart was very chaotic, and it took a long time to calm down. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that this important matter, no matter what, must be discussed with the Queen Mother first. After explaining the content of this memorial clearly, the Eastern Empress Dowager blurted out: "This memorial seems to be dedicated to the sixth master." This is bystander clear!The Empress Dowager thought to herself, among the three things originally stated, the so-called "reasonable and appropriate to abide by the scriptures" is "more simple than one or two princes", the reason is very far-fetched.However, this is a good proof that it was not Prince Gong's instruction. If he wants to instruct the officials to test him out, he has plenty of good pen and ink, and he will not find such a person who writes without pain or itching to come forward.

So she said: "Reckoning, I'm afraid Liu Ye will get Beijing today or tomorrow. This censor surnamed Dong will not be the person Liu Ye found out. Maybe there are already rumors in Beijing, and this person surnamed Dong came here on purpose." Such a discount." "Who is this Dong?" "Who knows?" The Empress Dowager Xi said again: "It's not too hot yet, and the raw stuff is served on the table, it's really unpalatable!" What she meant was that this closed-door discussion was made too early and it would be difficult to deal with it.The Eastern Empress Dowager also thought so deeply, and said after thinking for a while: "Let's 'keep' it first! Let's watch it later."

This method is exactly the same as the Queen Mother's plan.Her intention was to wait, to wait for news from Prince Gong's arrival in Beijing, and at the same time to wait for the attitude of the eight ministers Gu Ming to express their attitude, so that it would be easier to be caught off guard. Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, Zhang Jing of the military aircraft went to the internal memorial office to collect the documents. After checking each item, the memorial of the previous day was missing one piece from Dong Yuanchun, and the "reporting document" had a "stay" written on it. The word means "stay in China".

Cao Yuying had long expected that the Empress Dowager would do this, so when Zhang Jing, who had been brought back, came back, he first asked, "Has the whole leader returned?" "The piece of 'Thousands of Miles' is 'retained'!" What else did he want to say, in the room where the eight ministers ruled the public, there were already the sounds of walking, coughing and spitting, so he stopped talking, thinking in his heart that when he got back to understand the situation of the collar fold, there would be what a reaction. Sure enough, the other side immediately sent someone to invite him.When Cao Yuying arrived there, he greeted Ann, and then presented the notebook he had received, and said at the same time: "Dong Yuanchun encloses one piece, but it hasn't been handed out yet."

Hearing his words, Duhan was the first to get angry, "How can this work?" He shouted loudly: "This book can't be kept!" Zai Yuan also expressed his dissatisfaction: "It's all like this, if we leave the notes, can we still do things?" Sushun was more calm, waved his hand and said, "Slowly discuss! Slowly discuss!" Cao Yuying was very knowledgeable, knowing that they had many things they would not say in front of him, so she took two steps back, asked Ann to turn around and leave.As soon as he returned to his room, Duhan came out and shouted loudly, "Come here!"

So a Su La hurried over and shouted with lowered hands: "Lord Du!" "Go to the office and tell them that there is still one piece of paper missing that was sent up yesterday. Ask them to come back." Du Han added two more words: "Hurry up!" Nasura agreed and left quickly, and came back soon to report, saying that the internal affairs office had gone to the Queen Mother to ask for it.Deliver it immediately when it arrives. Not long after, the eunuch from the Neizuo Office came to report: "Keep Dong Yuanchun's book 'Xi Bian'!" Zai Yuan sneered, but remained silent.For the rest of the elders, because Sushun wanted to "discuss slowly", it was inconvenient for them to express their opinions for a while.Government affairs were handled as usual that day, and Dong Yuanchun's note was temporarily put aside.

In the palace, the two empress dowagers closed the door and discussed secretly.According to the notice of Minister of State Affairs Chan Xiang, the internal affairs department went to ask for the note, which already annoyed the Empress Dowager West. It is true that the memorial "remaining in China" is not conventional, but it is a kind of privilege of the emperor after all, and this privilege is well used , can turn hostility into peace, of course, the privilege has to be done occasionally.Like Dong Yuanchun's memorial, the result of the Empress Dowager's thinking alone under the lamp the night before passing by, she was going to put it aside for a long time without making any comments, and wait until Prince Gong has news.This "staying in the middle and not sending out" has no results. The term in the military aircraft department is called "flooding". Since it is flooded, no one needs to inquire about the whereabouts. At the same time, no one is responsible, so there will be no The conflict happened. Now that Gu Ming's eight ministers are unwilling to let this book be "flooded", it will force the Empress Dowager to deal with it.According to her idea, she will be summoned the next day, intending to publicly declare that she accepts Dong Yuanchun's suggestion, but the empress dowager, who has always been calm in dealing with things, thinks such a statement is too strong, and I'm afraid "it won't work." When it comes to actual effects, the Empress Dowager has to think about it seriously.Assessing one's own status and strength is not enough to say that one can do what one wants.In this way, we cannot think of a roundabout way of relaxation. So, she thought of Prince Gong, and then thought of a wonderful plan, and said to the Queen Mother happily: "Let's come to a 'carrier in a flower sedan chair'!" This is a proverb in the south. I don't know what it means, the Queen Mother who has only been to Guangxi? Then he said: "Stop playing charades with me, just say it if you have an idea!" "Let's discuss one by one. Let's talk about adding a master to the emperor..." "That's what it should be." The Empress Dowager interrupted her, "There is no need to discuss this, just let everyone recommend someone who can be a master." "Okay!" The Empress Dowager carved a "pinch mark" on the original fold with her long nails, and said at the same time: "This is one piece, it has been negotiated. Let's talk about the curtain--those people just say "ancestral family law" ', the family law is not determined by the ancestors of that dynasty. The times are different, and what should be changed must be changed. We have no opinion on how to change it. Let everyone discuss it publicly. State-owned affairs, the meeting of princes and ministers, no Is it also 'ancestral family law'?" "That's a good point. But there is one thing, there are many 'they', and they are talking all over the place. If you can't fight with them, this method still doesn't work." "It doesn't matter, I have another way." The Queen Mother said proudly, "The authority of the servant is on the top, 'Jane sent one or two princes' to help the Minister of Gu Ming, who can say no? Let's let them Write the decree, leave the name of Prince Jianpai blank, and fill in the name of the sixth master later, or add the seventh master. In this way, when the meeting is held, the sixth master will naturally arrange it, arrange people in advance, and not be afraid of fighting But them." Only then did the Empress Dowager understand the meaning of the saying, which is to lift up Prince Gong first, and then Prince Gong will lift the two palaces.This method of citing each other seems to be more aboveboard, and it is not hurtful. The Queen Mother naturally agrees. So when the meeting was summoned the next morning, the Empress Dowager Xi sent Dong Yuanchun's papers down, explained how to deal with it, and ordered: "Let's take a look at it!" Gu Ming's eight ministers looked at each other pale.Zaiyuan first protested: "Qizou Queen Mother, this book should not be done like this." Just after saying this, the Empress Dowager Xi interrupted him in a very majestic and calm voice: "So, what do you say?" Du Han had something to say, so he wanted to repeat Chen Zou, when suddenly he felt that someone pulled his clothes slightly, and when he saw that it was Sushun, he kept quiet and let him talk. "The slaves went down to discuss and decide, and wrote an order." This is a feint, the Empress Dowager Xi doesn't know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd?But since the decree has been stated, there is no need to say more. It is not too late to ask them to write the decree. If there is something wrong, they will give other instructions, so they nodded and said, "Okay!"You go down, according to this meaning, discuss it, and write a "Ming Fa" to see. " When the eight ministers withdrew from Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, their faces were livid and silent, but they had the same thought in their hearts: this was the result of secret discussions between Prince Gong and the Queen Mother.Some people even think that the disposal method instructed by the Queen Mother is also predetermined, because they don't believe that she will be so "expert" and what she says is not only in line with the system, but also in line with the rules. When they arrived at Junji Zhilu, Duhan first ordered to keep vigilant and drive all the servants Sura far away.When the door was closed, Duanhua was the first to yell: "How? I said Mr. Gong's visit this time was for 'the weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken', and he didn't have good intentions! Sure enough. This is still the first step, no Show me off, there are still many tricks in the back!" "Stop gossip." Zaiyuan said five words angrily: "Write 'Mingfa' to refute." Everyone had no objection, and then they opened the door and invited Zhang Jing, the military aircraft, to write the decree.Today's foreman is Wu Zhaolin, who was recently transferred from Beijing. He is very flattering, but he doesn't know much about the market.He took back Dong Yuanchun's "Respect Chen Guanjian" at a discount, and discussed it with several experts in his class. Everyone was wary and unwilling to handle this hot case, and said in unison that it was not him. The generosity is not enough.So Wu Zhaolin did his part. Holding his pen, he thought to himself, the so-called "refutation" is just a refutation of the truth, and the wording may be tactful. This is also the tradition of respecting officials for many years.Therefore, it is easy to do it in one go, and all the formulas are used.After finishing writing, I asked my colleagues to discuss it. Everyone said it was "very appropriate". Who knew that Zaiyuan had only read two or three lines, and his eyebrows were knotted. When he finished reading, he shook his head: "No! It can't be used!" Jiao Youying's relationship with Junji Zhang Jing was different, so he quickly defended Wu Zhaolin, "Take a look, take a look!" He stepped up and said, "There is something wrong, please change it." "Don't read it!" Zaiyuan handed over the original copy and the draft, and said to Jiao Youying with the nickname "Ma Weng", "Ma Weng, come and make a manuscript! Refutation! It must be refutation." .” When Wu Zhaolin heard this, he backed out embarrassingly.At this moment, Jiao Youying didn't want to do anything, he thought about it for a while, and got a general idea, then he started writing, writing and revising, and within half an hour, the manuscript was finished. Zaiyuan still read the manuscript first.Because it is "a decree issued in the open", the first paragraph summarizes the original reason for the case as usual to clarify the source, so there is nothing to watch.At the beginning of the second paragraph, it said: "I am a pilgrimage to the sage, and I have no empress dowager's body to listen to the government. I am entrusted by the emperor Kao Daxing with my age. At the beginning of the imperial era, how dare I change the old system of my ancestors? " Seeing this, Zai Yuan praised: "This is a great masterpiece, and it hits the nail on the head in a few words!" He read this paragraph of text again. "Sure enough!" Sushun also praised: "Speaking well." Hearing these words, Jiao Youying's face was full of gold, and he smiled modestly: "There, there? The prince and Zhongtang have missed the award." "You're welcome!" Duan Hua suggested: "Just let Ma Weng read it by himself." So Jiao Youying took his manuscript from Zaiyuan, stood in the middle, opened his Tianjin Wei loud voice, and read aloud: "And Huang Kaote sent Prince Yi Zaiyuan and others to support the government affairs, and all events should be done." The decree must be issued after it has been drafted and submitted by the king and minister, and it must be issued with a seal. Return it. The censor asked the empress dowager to temporarily manage the government, which is absolutely wrong!" After reading this paragraph, Jiao Youying stopped and waited for criticism.Jing Shou wanted to say something, but the seals of "Yu Shang" and "Tongdao Tang" were given by Emperor Daxing himself. It would be unfair to deny this fact, and it would hurt loyalty to speak in the tone of a young king. It's just that he was always articulate, and before he could open his mouth, Du Han had already praised him for "being perceptive", and the rest of them echoed in an uproar, and Jing Shou couldn't speak anymore.At this time, Jiao Youying vigorously "refuted" Prince Jian's argument again. He wrote: "The Emperor Fu Nian was examined on the 16th day of the seventh month, and eight people including Zaiyuan were specially summoned to assist the prime minister wholeheartedly. Looking up to the sacred heart has its own deep meaning, so why dare to show that it violates the teachings of the ancestors and lightly discuss adding it? The king and ministers are under the emperor's examination and order to assist the prime minister. If you actually participate in the play, I will also severely punish the crime. The relationship between the above two ends is very important, and it is not the result of my subordinates." "That's right! This 'non-subject's false opinion' was also explained very clearly before. But..." Zaiyuan said this, looked around at everyone, and made an expression asking for opinions.In order to cater to Zaiyuan, Duhan said bluntly: "It seems that it is not enough!" "By the way." Duanhua also said, "It sounds like I'm missing a sentence or two. It's a comparison, a comparison..." He didn't come up with the analogy, Sushun got impatient, waved his hand, and said to Jiao Youying: "You're welcome, just add a few words of reprimand! This Dong, his heart is too dirty!" "Well, yes!" Jiao Youying agreed, but there was hesitation on his face. "Ma Weng," Du Han pointed him out, "A couple of words of condemnation, followed by a categorical reprimand will do." Everyone said so, so Jiao Youying didn't have time to deliberate. He sat down and wrote under "I will punish his crime again", and added two sentences: "The censor must want to be a simple school among the princes. How sincere is it?" Heart? What you play is especially unfeasible!" After this addition, Duanhua yelled: "Happy, happy!" Except for Jing Shou who remained silent, the rest expressed their satisfaction. There is also a paragraph at the end, which is about "receiving advice day and night", which is also categorically refuted.This section is just a foil in the original story, and has nothing to do with the grand purpose, so there is no time to scrutinize the reasons for the refutation. After finalizing the draft, Zaiyuan ordered: "Make the furniture immediately, and send it in immediately." In order to be quick, Jiao Youying went to Junji Zhangjing office to cook in person.For the style of edicts, "Ting Ji" writes eight lines per page, and "Ming Fa Shang Yu" writes six lines per page, and each line has a certain number of words, so when the relatives are cleared, they can calculate the exact number of words and copy them separately, etc. Align and put together, close up and down, it's just a good word, there is a special name for this, it's called "Vodi button".Jiao Youying was used to this kind of thing, and under his own command, it was natural for him to make every effort.After it was copied, he and Wu Zhaolin read it one by one, and read it by the other. After proofreading it was correct, they put it in a yellow box and sent it to the internal affairs office for delivery to the palace. The Empress Dowager Xi only read a few lines, her complexion changed drastically, and when she continued to read, the hands holding the memorial were trembling, and when she finished reading, she didn't care about the Empress Dowager's etiquette, stood up suddenly, and put it on the coffee table I didn't care about the yellow box on the bed, stepped on the "bottom of the flowerpot", there was a sudden sound in Jiejie Pavilion, and went straight to Dongnuan Pavilion.It frightened the maids in the corridor, what happened? At this time, just after passing the meal, the Eastern Empress Dowager was drinking tea, holding an ivory picking stick in her mouth, when she saw the Western Empress Dowager rushing in, her face was blue, her lips were white, she looked terrible, she hurriedly got up and asked: " Sister, what's the matter?" "Sister, look," the Empress Dowager flicked that "bright hair" vigorously, "It's almost reversed!" The Empress Dowager Dong knew that the situation was serious, so she said to herself, hold on!So she didn't make any gestures, took the edict from the Empress Dowager Xi, spread it on the kang table, and read it carefully. The ink in her stomach was limited, but she was familiar with these memorials and the idioms used in the imperial edicts, so although she read them slowly, there was no sense of ambiguity.After reading it, she was naturally very angry, "This is really outrageous!" She pointed to the last paragraph and said: "It's like the section of "Day and Xi Na Huo, Li Hongzao, the editor of the Huang Kao Ye Jing School, served as my master. The censor please come here It is out of the question to choose one or two ministers among the ministers to serve as masters!" 'It goes without saying'?" "Huh!" The Queen Mother sneered, "What is this to them? They didn't even pay attention to our sister and son, and gave the emperor the two stamps of 'Imperial Reward' and 'Tongdaotang' in a daze." On the account! Let’s not talk about it, what does it mean to ask the empress dowager to take charge of the government temporarily, which is not right”? It depends on the master’s face to beat a dog. Can the emperor reprimand Dong Yuanchun in this tone? Sister, these few Damn things, no father and no king, if the emperor falls into their hands, what do you think he will be trained to look like? Isn't he trained to be disobedient and unfilial? Will we still have a life at that time?" The Empress Dowager Dong thought about it carefully, and sure enough, such words as "it is not true" are equivalent to the emperor's opposition to the Empress Dowager, which is very inappropriate, so she shook her head and said, "Yes, it is really outrageous!" "Also," the Empress Dowager Xi pointed to the second paragraph and said, "Jane will send the prince to work together, where is this wrong? How can you ask him: 'What is your sincerity?', hum!" Her face became more and more gloomy There are two arcs at the corners of her mouth, slanted down, very deep, she nodded slightly, and slowly said: "I understand!" The Queen Mother Dong didn't know what she thought, she looked at her blankly, only feeling her The more she looked at her face, the more frightening she became, so she comforted her in a low voice: "Sister, it's not good to break up, you have to be patient!" Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager West became very disgusted, but she suppressed her anger very quickly, and calmly realized the fact that the Empress Dowager East and the Emperor are now at the most useful time for her, no matter what, You can't have your own opinion.Therefore, she put on a submissive face, nodded deeply, and first expressed her acceptance of the advice.However, I still have to say, "Sister," she also lowered her voice, "We can't make a mistake in this way, otherwise, it would be really hard to say." Hearing her words, there seemed to be an unforeseen tone hidden behind her words, the Eastern Empress Dowager was so frightened that she stretched out a cold sweaty hand, pinched the Western Empress Dowager's wrist and asked, "Sister, please explain!" "You always heard Emperor Daxing talk about those things when our Qing Dynasty was founded?" "I've heard of it! Could it be...?" The Empress Dowager Dong shuddered when she thought of the disaster of flesh and blood that the kings killed, and couldn't continue. The Empress Dowager Xi didn't seem to see her expression, so she kept on talking to herself: "How did the prince Zaiyuan get here? Isn't it the old Yi Wang who helped Lord Yongzheng back then?" When mentioning the upheaval of ethics in the Yongzheng Dynasty, the Eastern Empress Dowager became more frightened, "Sister," she asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, do they dare to act like that?" "Why don't you dare?" The Empress Dowager looked at her closely and said, "Think about it, how dare the Minister of Military Aircraft of that dynasty dare to obey and disobey, and not write an order according to the instructions from above? And the Minister of Military Aircraft of that dynasty dared to openly You want to keep the middle one? Sixth Master is such a shrewd and capable person, they dare to fight against him, why are they afraid of us orphans and widows?" It's not that she deliberately scares people, to be honest, she also has this fear in her heart, especially because most of the forbidden army is in the hands of Zaiyuan, Duanhua and Sushun.The Empress Dowager Dong didn't think of this yet, but she was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a long time. "Then, sister, what should we do then? I think we have to endure it, and we can wait until we get back to the city." "If you go back to the city, you have to go back to the city." The Empress Dowager Xi said resolutely: "I still have to summon you, and ask to understand." "No, no!" The Empress Dowager shook her hand and said, "Talk slowly. If you touch it stiffly, it will force trouble." Of course, the Empress Dowager Xi hoped to arouse her anger so that she could unite to deal with this domineering minister, but she also didn't want her to be too timid and weak, so she specially encouraged her in a nonchalant tone: "Sister, don't be afraid!  Sorry 2 imperial accent  accent haggard still  color sweep shape away? The Eastern Empress Dowager had no choice but to remind her again and again: "Say it carefully later, don't be too harsh!" "I understand!" The Empress Dowager Xi said this, walked out of the East Nuan Pavilion, and passed on the decree: "Please come to the emperor! Change into a robe." The emperor and the little eunuch were fighting crickets in the back garden, playing vigorously, when they heard that the queen mother summoned them, the boss refused.But Zhang Wenliang knew that there was serious business to do in order to change his gown and gown, so he coaxed and lied to get the emperor out of the back garden, and when the changed clothes were sent to the palace, the two empress dowagers were already sitting behind the imperial case. Waiting, at the same time, the eight ministers of Gu Ming have also been called. The Empress Dowager West naturally knew that there would be a fierce dispute in this meeting. The Empress Dowager East is a person who is useless in this kind of situation. One person can deal with eight people, and a war of words may not necessarily win the upper hand, so her face is serious. , as if facing an enemy. As for the eight ministers of Gu Ming, I still had an idea, thinking that the summoning of the two palaces might be a matter of negotiating the content of this "sent to the emperor". There is absolutely no room for flexibility in the other two points, especially the section on Prince Jane Yong.Later, he received a report from the eunuch of Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, saying that the Queen Mother was furious. Only then did he realize that it was not a bargain, but a deal that could not be reached at all.Up to now, as soon as the arrow is on the line, Sushun finds Zaiyuan and Duanhua, and has a quick discussion, then Zaiyuan pulls Duhan aside, whispers a few words, and then goes in together. Because everyone was wary, the atmosphere was strangely cold and embarrassing when they came up, even the six-year-old little emperor noticed it.Usually with the two palaces, he always seems a little restless, and the Queen Mother has to be coaxed, coaxed, and even softly reprimanded to calm down. Today, beside the Queen Mother, she was silent, just raised her head, with a timid look, Looking at the deep face of his biological mother. After saluting, there was a moment of stalemate, and then the Empress Dowager slowly swept across the faces of the eight ministers with a stern look, and asked in a very cold voice: "Who told you to write this edict?" "It was agreed by the ministers and others." Zaiyuan replied like this. "You are all ministers of the state, and you have served in the inner court for many years. I would like to ask you, what is a 'shangyu'?" This is a serious question. If the simplest explanation is taken literally: "Decreed by the above", then this invention is obviously against the order!Zai Yuan couldn't answer for a while, so he moved his body slightly, which was a secret signal. So Du Han made another Chen Zou: "Return to the Queen Mother, the imperial edict issued by the emperor is the edict." "By the way, the emperor is still young, so..." "That's why," Du Han hurriedly said, "Emperor Daxing appointed Minister Gu Ming to assist the young master." This way of not allowing the "superior" to speak, not only is it disrespectful, it is simply a courtesy of no minister. According to the crime of "disrespect", one can be exiled to the army without dying, and Du Han actually did this!The empress dowagers of the two palaces looked at each other pale, especially the empress dowager Xi, the anger surged up one after another, and she almost couldn't hold it back. However, she finally endured it, and only secretly gritted her teeth and said in her heart: I must listen to the government behind the curtain!When you take back your authority, watch me deal with you! In this flash of thought, she regained her composure, and sneered: "Hmph! Well done to you Prime Minister! Using the tone of the emperor to reprimand the Queen Mother, is there any reason in the world!" At this time Zaiyuan said again: "There is nothing disrespectful to the Empress Dowager in the Shangyu." "Then, what do the four words 'special is not true' mean?" "That's a rebuke to Dong Yuanchun." "Why should Dong Yuanchun criticize?" "Because, because of Dong Yuanchun's rambunctious remarks."
