That's a family relationship that even my aunt would be jealous of!

Cisheng can do it, and Queen Xiang believes that she can do it too.

If you don’t have a biological son, if you adopt one, you will still be raised, still filial, and still close to you!

…

After passing through the heavy curtains of the forbidden area, the queen walked to the emperor's royal couch.

Zhang Mao, who had been serving in front of the emperor, quickly brought a horse and waited on the queen to sit down.

Empress Xiang looked at her husband who was lying on the imperial couch with a pale face and raised cheekbones. She shed a few tears and asked Zhang Maoze: "Zhang Duzhi, how many times have the officials woke up today?"

Zhang Mao stooped down and lowered his head and replied: "I told the sage: Today, everyone has woken up three times..."

He wiped away his tears to the queen and asked, "Has the official issued any command?"

Zhang Mao hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head: "It has been several days since we have given down our command..."

He sighed to the queen and pretended not to see Zhang Maoze's hesitation.

The hand holding the Buddhist scriptures quietly used some strength.

Queen Xiang knew that the internal minister in front of her, who was respectful and seemingly loyal, was not an easy person!

As early as the early years of Xining and the beginning of the reform, Zhang Maoze was already a banner of the old party among the ministers!

In the sixth year of Xining's reign, the leader of the uproarous incident of Prime Minister Wendemen's dismissal was this veteran of three dynasties who was deeply entrenched in the palace.

At that time, the matter was very popular.

The authority of Prime Minister Wang Anshi was greatly affected by this.

The old party cheered loudly, even in this large internal ban, privately no one knew how many ministers were secretly cheering.

Although Empress Xiang was deep in the palace, she saw these things clearly.

Just like the current situation.

Although it is difficult for the queen in the deep palace to know the specific details, she can still feel the changes in the wind direction and the atmosphere in the palace.

The official family was seriously ill, and the sixth brother was young.

Not to mention the imperial court, among the ministers and ministers of the outer court, there may have been duckweeds and slight waves.

There are people in the outer court who want to imitate Zhao Pu, and there are also those in the imperial court who want to imitate Wang Jien.

With this thought in mind, Xiang Queen's hand holding the Buddhist scriptures inevitably used some force, but her expression remained unchanged, and even her voice remained calm.

"Among the ministers, is there anyone who has written a letter wishing to be imprisoned and on guard duty for the officials?" he asked the queen.

Zhang Mao then bowed his head and replied: "I am reporting to the sage, but there is no letter from the prime minister about this matter. As far as I know, the prime ministers of the two governments gathered for discussion. I ordered the right minister, the right minister, and the Qing minister to live in the minister's province to wait for your majesty's edict. Life!"

"That's it..." Xiang Empress sighed and couldn't help but think of what happened when the late emperor was seriously ill.

At the beginning, the late emperor was seriously ill.

Prime Minister Han Qi led the ministers above the imperial level to the imperial palace, stayed overnight in the palace, and guarded the emperor. Afterwards, he decided on the strategy of appointing a prince, supported the official family, and announced the emperor's edict. Han Qi did it all by himself, and was known as loyal both at home and abroad.

.

Queen Xiang has personally experienced these things.

Now, the same situation appears again.

There is no important official in the court who can make the final decision like Han Qi.

Those who have the qualifications, prestige, and ability to do this are all outside the capital.

Thinking of this, Queen Xiang couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"Zhang Douzhi..." Queen Xiang looked at Zhang Maoze's old face, which was already covered with wrinkles and had patches of gray marks, and asked: "Today, the second and fourth kings will come to visit the saint."

bow?"

"Sage: The two kings have just served the Queen Mother and returned to Baoci Palace..." Zhang Maoze replied: "As for the four kings?" He said softly: "I didn't ask for your holy bow today..."

He nodded to the queen and said: "The four kings still abide by etiquette like this..."

Zhang Mao bowed his head deeply and did not dare to answer at all.

Queen Xiang stopped talking. She just held a Buddhist scripture and sat in front of her husband's bed, looking at her unconscious husband quietly.

After a long time, Queen Xiang stood up, walked to the emperor's royal couch, took the Buddhist scriptures she had brought from Qingning Palace, and whispered: "The official family... the official family..."

"Sixth Brother is also concerned about the health of His Majesty's Holy Body in Qingning Palace, so he specially took pens, inks, paper and inkstones from Zishan Hall to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for His Majesty!"

"I also ask the officials to cheer up and get well soon..."

While talking, Queen Xiang burst into tears.

Behind Empress Xiang, Zhang Maoze, Yan Shouqin and other ministers, female officials and even the medical officer standing outside the curtain had all knelt down.

But no one dared to speak out.

Everyone just lowered their heads and prostrated.

But Queen Xiang's goal has been achieved.

The inner imperial city has always been a sieve.

At first, Renmiao was playing a game of one dragon and two phoenixes with the concubine in the palace, but the news spread the next day. The crows in Taiwan immediately had something to do and forced Renmiao to send the two beauties to the Taoist temple.

At the Yingmiao, the news of the discord between the two palaces was known to the entire city of Tokyo.

The storytellers in Wazili and the details written in street tabloids even knew more than many of the ministers in Ouchi.

When the current official came to the throne, the news that he went to see Cisheng wearing golden armor had already been published in tabloids that night before dawn the next day, and spread in various night markets and tiles.

There is no way, the Ouchi Imperial City is only so big.

But the ministers and female officials at high and low levels did not necessarily stay overnight in the imperial city.

Especially high-ranking ministers and high-ranking female officials.

They all have families and families.

Not to mention Zhang Maoze, the chief minister.

Even a middle-ranking minister like Liang Congzheng, as far as Queen Xiang knew, also married his wife and adopted a stepson outside the palace.

Outside the palace, there were more than a dozen concubines and hundreds of servants, and the ministers of the Qing Dynasty were never alone.

As soon as these people returned home, the news in the palace spread all over the place.

Throughout the ages, we have thought of ways to avoid the leakage of banned news.

However, foreign ministers, especially Taiwanese admonishers, resolutely opposed all things and policies that tried to hinder the spread of news from the palace.

Under the banner of "eliminating isolation between China and foreign countries," they stand on the high ground of political correctness and stare at everyone who tries to block banned news.

Emperor, there may be nothing they can do.

But they are good at forcing the emperor to deal with those ministers, ministers and remonstrators who dare to do these things.

Therefore, Empress Xiang is convinced that by the time the palace gates are locked tomorrow at the latest, the news of "The Prince of Yan'an County is copying Buddhist scriptures for the officials" should appear in the big and small tiles in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and in the street newspapers.

Note: Empress Xiaozhang is the Empress of Song Dynasty. After Zhao Kuangyin died, she was tortured very miserably by Zhao Guangyi!

King Yan Yi was Zhao Dezhao. After Zhao Guangyi's donkey cart drifted, he was supported by others for a time and then committed suicide.

Note 2: Most of the ministers in the Song Dynasty usually married wives and adopted stepsons after transferring to official positions. Regarding stepsons, the legal system allowed the adoption of a stepson who could enter the palace as a minister. Well, yes, ministers in the Song Dynasty could be passed down from father to son!

However, generally there can only be one, and the emperor can have two if he is kind! But there is no restriction for normal stepsons.
