Chapter 353 The Empress Shows Her Power
Chapter 353 The Queen Shows Her Power
The queen issued an imperial edict to denounce the officials. This can be said to be a rare event in the Ming Dynasty in recent years. Such a thing has not even happened before.
After all, the last person who could do this was Empress Ma. After her death, there was no woman with such great power in the Ming Dynasty.
But at this moment, Yu Xin and others had nothing to say. They walked towards the Meridian Gate under the supervision of the female official and eunuch. This is not a shame or not. If you want to talk about Xu Miaoqing, you can do it, but you can only kneel down obediently at this moment.
The reason is naturally very simple. Xu Miaoqing is the queen and the monarch, while Yu Xin and others are just ministers. The difference is so obvious.
In fact, some people can guess that the queen suddenly gave the order. If nothing unexpected happens, it is because Yu Xin contradicted the emperor before. However, everyone did not expect that the queen was the one who shot the first shot, which was unexpected by many people.
When Yu Xin and others walked out of the Meridian Gate, Xu Miaoqing looked so dignified and grand. The female official, eunuch and others followed carefully.
The palace cannot hide any secrets, especially some "big things", which can be spread instantly.
There has been no queen for fifteen years in the Ming Dynasty. It has been too long since the Queen Shenqi Chan Chan official appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that she has intervened in the affairs of the government. Naturally, this cannot be of any "low-key" meaning.
When Xu Miaoqing and his group walked towards Fengtian Palace, Lian Qiongqiong only took her daughter, and the soon-to-be-birth Wang was envious but it was nothing to do with him. Li and Wang were just envious. The gap between their identities and the queen was too obvious, and there was no way to compare them.
As for Zhu Biao's concubines, those with children followed their children out of the palace, the ones who were talking about the Lü family. Those who had no children were basically guarding Zhu Biao's tomb, and their fate was basically determined, either guarding the tomb or becoming a monk.
The blessing in disgrace was probably that Zhu Yunyou opposed it a few years ago, otherwise Lao Zhu would not mind sending these people to accompany his son. The system of burial with his father was revived in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty before.
As for Lao Zhu's concubines, they should be envious and calm at this time. In the past, the Empress Dowager was in charge, but now there is Xu Miaoqing. These concubines just think that the mother is noble by her son, and it would be good to have children.
Don’t think too much about the others. They are just concubines, and they are just concubines in other families, but they can’t enter the ancestral temple.
When Shuangquan heard the news, he immediately reported the situation to Lao Zhu.
Old Zhu was stunned when he was looking at the sack, put down the sack and said, "How many times have we said this sack boy? The harem cannot interfere in politics! If we say that, this sack boy is probably just a mistake."
Shuangquan and others lowered their heads and did not speak, and at this time they had no right to speak.
Lao Zhu glanced at Shuangquan and said, "Take out our court uniform. Since the emperor wants to make trouble, let's help make the matter bigger."
Shuangquan immediately turned around and prepared to get the court ward. Old Zhu asked again, "What is the queen's imperial edict talking about Hongcang?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Queen, denounced the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, saying that Hongcang should be neglected to allocate supplies." Shuangquan quickly turned around and said again, "The Queen was furious and ordered the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to kneel down at the Meridian Gate, and the Queen went to Fengtian Palace to apologize for guilt!"
Old Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and scolded, "This is the Queen's business? Hongcang, that is the Queen Mother's business! When she was there, she loved the people the most, and these bastards dared to neglect them?! If we say, these individuals in the palace are also lazy, and relying on their status and children, they dare to rest?!"
Lao Zhu was furious because Hongcang was founded by his most beloved wife, Empress Ma. When Empress Ma was there, she was the most frugal. The concubines and princesses in the palace all had to help weave cloth and do some needlework. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has become rich, and the people in the palace have lived a good life, but some good habits have been lost.
Old Zhu was furious and said, "Issued an order, except for pregnant women and young children, they will go to the ancestral temple to kneel down regardless of their age! Our Zhu family will be busy doing business!"
Well, it’s not easy for the concubines in the harem who want to watch the fun, not to mention Lao Zhu’s concubine or Xiao Zhu’s concubine. Including those princesses who have not married, it’s not easy for them to be together at this time. They are all going to ‘take the guilt’.
Lao Zhu has never lacked good for his family. However, Lao Zhu also has this characteristic when he is cruel to his family.
When he remembered something, Lao Zhu said, "Go to the school to pick up the prince, let's wait in Fengtian Palace!"
Shuangquan was stunned and corrected in a low voice, "Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor dealt with political affairs in Wuying Hall!"
"We can see it!" Old Zhu was so angry that he pointed at Shuangquan and said, "It's worth it that our emperor asked you to come to us to listen to it! You don't think about things, if you have a little brain, you can follow the emperor!"
Shuangquan quickly showed a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, I am stupid and I only know how to follow orders and do things."
"Since you are following the order, you will be whatever you say!" Old Zhu said angrily and amusedly, "You are smart. You have been following us for so many years. That Wang Chengen is better than you, and I don't know that you have not made any progress in this past few years!"
This matter is interesting. The eunuch around Lao Zhu was arranged by Zhu Yunyou. Wang Chengen was arranged by Lao Zhu in front of Xiao Zhu.
If I didn't know this, I thought that the Tian family in the Ming Dynasty had suspicious things about their grandparents and grandchildren. I was putting eyeliners around each other. If I didn't know this, I thought that the two eunuchs, Shuangquan and Wang Chengen, were really loyal to them.
There are some things that really don’t need to be thought about. Xiao Zhu doesn’t have so many ideas, and Lao Zhu doesn’t actually have those ideas.
Lao Zhu, who had not worn court uniforms for a long time, changed into court uniforms. Although he was already covered in silver hair, the burly old man walked and the Emperor Hongwu, who made the world tremble, once again showed his powerful aura.
At this moment, Xu Miaoqing knelt down in front of Fengtian Palace, "I will call you to your Majesty, I will come to apologize."
Many people are actually paying attention to this side. Seeing the queen apologizing, many people think this matter is interesting.
Xu Miaoqing didn't care about so much, and she was a little excited when she sang a double act with the emperor. She also knew that this was a major event in the court, so she naturally couldn't be careless, and she needed to cooperate well.
Zhu Yunyou walked out of Wuying Palace and just asked, "What is the Queen's crime?"
Xu Miaoqing cooperated very well and just said, "I will report to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty, and you will trust you to hand over all matters to me. Hong Cang is the one who is the Queen Mother, and will benefit the scholars of the world. My Majesty is stupid and has to let you down the entrusted by Your Majesty."
After saying this, Xu Miaoqing leaned down with both hands and added his forehead. This is the complete set of services.
Zhu Yunyou had a serious expression, without any hesitation, "Since the queen knew she was guilty, she would be fined for half a year, and the cost in the palace was reduced by half!"
This sounds like no trivial matter. If people who don’t know the inside story think the emperor is taking his anger at the queen. Reducing the cost in the palace is obviously punishing the queen. If they are a little stupid, they think the queen is going to lose favor!
Since even the queen has been punished, others will definitely not be able to escape. Although the queen is taking it alone, everyone can understand that there is really a mistake in this matter. Obviously, it is impossible that the queen is the responsibility alone.
Since it is not the responsibility of the queen alone, since even the queen has been punished, no one else can think of it.
It seems that this is really going to be unlucky with many people, and this is not a trivial matter.
The couple who sang the double act didn't care what the others were thinking, and they both felt that there was no problem.
Zhu Yunyou felt quite happy, that is, Xu Miaoqing is very efficient in doing things. Moreover, Xu Miaoqing is very smart. When she realized that Zhu Yunyou wanted to make things worse, she burned the fire to make it easy for Zhu Yunyou to make some of the next operations.
Xu Miaoqing, who seemed to have been punished, showed her presence in the court for the first time. He directly asked the officials of the Liudu Hall to kneel down at the Meridian Gate, which means that Empress Ma had such ability at that time, but now she has it.
Although Xu Miaoqing is also self-aware and is far from her grandmother, she can show her presence after all. This is not a punishment, it is the emperor's trust in her.
Xu Yingxu ran to the Governor's Office in panic. He knew about this, or he only knew part of it.
Xu Huizu looked bad and scolded, "This is a ritual hall. What is the crime of stubbornness?"
Looking at the elder brother who has been following rules since childhood, Xu Yingxu didn't care about it at this moment, "Brother, the queen asked the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to kneel outside the Meridian Gate. The queen went to Wuying Palace to apologize, and now she knows!"
Looking at his second brother who was panting and listening to Xu Yingxu's words, Xu Huizu was also stunned for a moment.
Xu Huizu naturally knew what kind of character her sister had. Although her sister was a tiger girl, she really did not lack the ability to make decisions, but she was also very law-abiding.
Now let the first-rank official kneel outside the Meridian Gate. If there is no particularly convincing reason, I guess there will be a lot of people in the court tomorrow, and a lot of complaints will impeach the queen.
I felt a little panicked, that was definitely indispensable. But Xu Huizu, who calmed down, believed that his sister would definitely not make a fuss. He believed that the queen would make such a fuss, and that it must be the instructor of His Majesty the Emperor.
Lao Zhu, who was walking towards Fengtian Palace, couldn't help but be happy when he saw Xiao Xiao Zhu shouting and running.
"Grandpa is ours, and your grandmother is even more virtuous. Grandpa is our belle, and grandmother is also a general. They are all first-class bloodlines. The father is cruel, ruthless and powerful, and your mother is also decisive. Our great-grandson has the power to be the emperor!"
I forgot all the previous evaluations of the middle-aged man, that was because the emperor took a look. Just because the bloodline of our great-grandson could not be bad!
