Chapter 142 Queen
Qi Xianzhong smiled and said, "It is true that Dali Temple is the territory of the eldest princess. If we were to stuff people into it in the past, she would have to be angry, but now the situation is different!" He began to analyze the idiot couple, Princess Yong'an.
The result of their random thoughts was that Yang Ze was the person the queen valued and had some relationship with the eldest princess. In this way, Princess Yong'an recommended Yang Ze, and the eldest princess would not be angry. This could be regarded as indirectly pleasing the eldest princess, and the queen would not refuse, because the queen wanted to reuse Yang Ze!
If Yang Ze became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he would always be grateful to Princess Yong'an in the future. If Princess Yong'an commits a crime in the future, Yang Ze would take care of Princess Yong'an and be kind to Princess Yong'an. When Princess Yong'an makes money, she would have committed many things, and maybe even bigger in the future. If she has people in Dali Temple, it would be much more convenient.
In the Dafang Empire, Dali Temple was in charge of the trial of criminal prison cases, especially the case trial of the royal family, which was considered a yamen specializing in the trial of royal clan cases and was considered the Supreme Court. If a royal clan like Princess Yong'an commits a case, it will not be sent to the Ministry of Justice, but will be sent to the Dali Temple for trial. Therefore, Princess Yong'an is not afraid of the Ministry of Justice, but is afraid of entering the Dali Temple.
Of course, if the case is too big, the empress will order the case to be handed over to the Minister of the Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, and the Chief of the Censor, that is, the envoy of the Three Divisions. However, there are very few cases that require the three departments to be tried. Generally speaking, cases of the royal family can be resolved in Dali Temple.
Moreover, it is difficult for other yamen to overthrow the case established by Dali Temple. For ordinary people, Dali Temple is a decoration, but for the royal family, this is the key. The Dali Temple of the Dafang Empire is in the hands of the eldest princess, and in the royal family. If anyone threatens her status as a princess, she will repair anyone through Dali Temple, and she has never failed.
Princess Yong'an said excitedly: "Then this matter will definitely be done. There will be people in Dali Temple in the future, just like my elder sister!"
Qi Xianzhong thought to himself: "That's much different. The Dali Temple Minister is the eldest princess. Yang Ze is just a young minister. At most, he is responsible for solving the case. How to pronounce the verdict, it's up to the Dali Temple Minister." He nodded and smiled, saying, "What the princess said is extremely true!"
Mao Wen'an said worriedly: "How do you write this memorial for recommendation? I have never written it before. I have never recommended anyone!"
Qi Xianzhong smiled and said, "It's enough for the old minister to write it. The prince consort will copy it and send it to the palace tomorrow. If everything goes well, then there will be a result within one day!"
Without further ado, I was afraid that others would take the lead. If someone recommended Yang Ze first, wouldn't Yang Ze not be able to owe Princess Yong'an's favor? Qi Xianzhong wrote a memorial for recommendation and asked Mao Wen'an to copy it.
After a night of hard work, it was already dawn, and Qi Xianzhong didn't go home. After saying goodbye and leaving the mansion, he went directly to the Ministry of Works to sit in the yamen. Mao Wen'an sniffed a little. After raising his spirits, taking a shower and changing clothes, he went into the palace to see the queen, and Princess Yong'an was waiting for news at home.
Early in the morning, Yang Ze woke up and was unwilling to get up. Since he entered Beijing, he has done nothing serious and has learned the procrastination of the government's work. He estimated that Li Bozhi would not come until noon. After he arrived, he probably couldn't say anything except nonsense.
When he was idle, he closed his eyes on the bed to rest, recalling the good poems he had read, and planned to copy a few poems, and when the Qujiangchi banquet was at the banquet, he could show off. If the queen could think that the poem was good, wouldn’t he have to live a good life? It would be a waste of anything he said that he could live a good life, and he could live a good life for the rest of his life, and his family would be equally prosperous. This is the most realistic. If you want to live a rich empire, the best way is to get the emperor's appreciation, and there is no other way to go.
Thinking of a few good poems, Yang Ze got up and copied the poems on paper. After writing them, he started washing and having breakfast.
Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen and others came again, and Fu Bingrong said, "Master, when will we offer prisoners? What is the Qujiangchi banquet? When will it be held?"
But Tan Zhengwen said: "Master, we met a prince consort last night. He is a royal family. Did he also do the business of selling official positions? Can he get a Beijing official for his disciple? This is a big deal for glorious ancestors. There is no problem with money, the key is the way."
Yang Ze snorted and said, "You ask me who I'll ask, that banquet is not a treat, can I say that it will be held on the same day? Also, you want to buy an official, but you have money? The official position is not a big cake, two eldest sons and one."
Tan Zhengwen smiled and said, "Money is not a problem, isn't it Yan Chenghou? His disciple agreed with him to borrow it first. When he becomes an official in the future, he will repay his money after he gets back his capital!"
Yang Ze waved his hand and said, "I can't do anything about what you ask. You all go out and let me be quiet alone. Think about it carefully. When I see the emperor, what should I say!"
Fu Bingrong hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, you have to think about it carefully. As long as you can get the emperor's value, it will be difficult for us disciples to be underdeveloped!"
Tan Zhengwen was also right. They went out and closed the door when they were about to go out. Yang Ze thought about how to ascend to the sky alone and ascend to heaven by himself!
Imperial Palace, Divine Hall.
Today is not the day for the court meeting, and the queen does not have to go to the Tai Chi Hall to sit in court. However, although the queen is old, she never relaxes the imperial power at all. Even if there is no court meeting, she can handle memorials. If she talks about diligence, she is more diligent than emperors of all dynasties. No one can definitely do it, but it is certain that it has never been before.
The empress had no name at first, and her surname was Dugu. For example, in the previous dynasty, this was a very prominent surname. However, the previous dynasty lost its country. As a prisoner of war, she was sent to the palace when she was still young. The rulers of the empire had the hobby of abuse of the orphans of the previous dynasty. Let the princes and princesses of the previous dynasty be eunuchs and palace maids satisfy this hobby. The empress's prominent family background in the previous dynasty just gave her the opportunity to enter the palace.
At the beginning, the Queen was just a palace maid at the bottom, doing odd jobs in the laundry room. She was young, but she had to do very heavy work and had to wash clothes in the middle of winter. Since she was a sinner in the previous dynasty, she could not use hot water, so she could only use cold water to wash clothes.
On a cold winter day, the young queen was drying her newly washed clothes in the yard, and her little hands were covered with frostbite, which looked very pitiful. It happened that the old emperor was patrolling the palace at this time. When he saw this scene, the old emperor looked at her pitiful and asked her a few words. He learned that it was an orphan of the previous dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel in love with the scene. If the empire he established was destroyed by the enemy one day, his descendants would suffer this pain. He was kind-hearted and let the queen leave the laundry room and become a formal palace maid.
From then on, the empress got rid of her miserable fate. Because she was born smart, she might be blessed by the ancestors of the Dugu family. Before she learned to write, the empress became a female official and even went to the Qinzheng Hall to serve. The empress thought that she would be like this in her life. When she was older, she would marry a more honest person and have a lot of children. She could have a support when she was old. For her, this was the best life.
But unexpectedly, she met a prince in Qinzheng Hall. At that time, the prince was learning how to be a prince of Taiping to assist the prince's brother at that time. After the prince met Dugu, the two fell in love over time. The prince asked the old emperor for Dugu. Dugu married into the prince's palace and became a concubine of the prince, not a princess, because the prince already had a princess at that time.
Afterwards, the ancestors of the Dugu family appeared again. After Dugu entered the palace, he gave birth to a prince the next year. The prince was very cute and the prince loved him deeply and loved him like a treasure. The mother was noble for her son. The status of Dugu family rose and became the prince's concubine.
Later, the prince died at that time and the empire had no heirs. The old emperor appointed the prince as the prince. Not long after, the old emperor also died. The prince ascended the throne and became the emperor. Dugu entered the palace again and became the imperial concubine.
After entering the palace for the second time, the queen showed her strong side and was no longer the gentle little woman. As she gave birth to several more princes and daughters, her methods became more and more ruthless. In just a few years, the emperor deposed the queen and became the queen herself. After a few years, she took advantage of the emperor's illness and gradually grasped the imperial power on the grounds of helping the emperor with government affairs. The emperor had to let it go because he had not recovered for a long time and never took back his power. After thirty years of such a life, the emperor passed away.
The crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the new emperor was the eldest son of the empress, but he grew up in the shadow of the empress. After ascending the throne, he never decided on his own even a small government affairs, which was controlled by the empress and ruled behind the curtain.
Finally one day, the queen couldn't bear it anymore, she pulled off the curtain in the court, walked from behind to the front, and deposed her eldest son and made her second son the emperor. Not long after, she deposed her second son and made her third son the emperor, but the third son was very tactful and gave up the throne. So, when she was sixty, the empress ascended the throne and became the first female emperor since the throne of the emperor, and gave herself a name, zhao, which means that the sun and the moon are in the sky, shining on the earth.
The queen was afraid that her subjects would not accept her and thought she was usurping the throne, so she used spies and cruel officials to kill all the ministers in the court who opposed her. The royal family killed one after another. Since the day she became emperor, horror has been spreading in the court, and she used this to consolidate the throne until now.
