Chapter 1150 Postscript: The Seventh Queen Mother’s Teachings to the Young Emperor(2/2)
Queen Mother Ye sneered: "The Qihe Protectorate is easy to organize. It just quells a few rebellions and kills more civil and military officials and foreigners. But what if chaos breaks out in the Han Dynasty?"
"There will be no chaos in the Han Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is now in its prime," Yang Lide said. "In his later years, the emperor was recuperating and his finances had gradually become more abundant. After many rebellions, he also reorganized the armies in various places. Now the treasury is full, the soldiers and horses are strong, and the territory is vast.
, has far surpassed the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties! In such a prosperous age, how can there be any need for reforms? Once reforms are made, chaos will inevitably occur!"
Deng Gongwu said angrily: "A prosperous age when even the ban on child labor cannot be implemented?"
Yang Lide turned to Queen Mother Ye: "Sage, please reinstate me to my official position. I will implement the child labor ban and ensure that no child labor is openly used in factories across the country within a year!"
Deng Gongwu laughed and said: "If it hadn't been for my article, would you have come back to the court sick and taken over the responsibility of implementing the child labor ban? Since you are sick, you should go home to recuperate."
Queen Mother Ye said: "Mr. Yang is loyal to the government and the country. During his retirement, he returned to the court to discuss state affairs despite being ill. Such behavior should be rewarded, so let's reward him with one hundred silver coins. The Pingren Division selected officials to escort Mr. Yang back to his hometown to recuperate."
Yang Lide hesitated to speak because Queen Mother Ye stared at him.
Finally, he retreated.
They were able to get rid of them so smoothly, thanks to King Yong's coup. On the charge of rebellion, dozens of powerful people were killed, imprisoned, and more than two hundred rebels were exiled.
The first three rows of the court hall were empty!
In the first ten rows, there were only a few rebel generals left.
Many of them were unjustly killed. They did not know the inside story of the coup, but subconsciously relied on the "new king". And after another new king called Qin Wang, they immediately chose to shut up and wait, and finally went to the outskirts of Luoyang to greet the new king.
Return to Beijing.
It's not important.
The important thing is that they were promoted and reused by the false emperor!
Deng Gongwu also bowed and resigned.
Queen Mother Ye took the little emperor's hand and boarded the chariot back to the palace.
She took out an old box and opened it with a key. There were more than a dozen booklets inside: "In three months, the emperor will be twelve years old. You should memorize one page of these books every day. Don't do it."
Talk to outsiders."
"What is this?" the little emperor asked curiously.
Queen Mother Ye said: "Your Imperial Grandpa stayed with His Majesty Taizong, who abdicated, from the age of six to twelve, until His Majesty Taizong passed away. These books were all passed down to your Imperial Grandpa by His Majesty Taizong."
The little emperor took a look, reached out and picked up a book to read.
Empress Dowager Ye continued: "These books were handed over to me by the Emperor secretly sending his confidants after your brothers died in infancy. You must remember that His Majesty Taizong will not make mistakes, and neither will your Emperor.
If there are ministers who say something different in the future, then they will definitely be traitors."
The little emperor didn't understand, so he just nodded.
Queen Mother Ye added: "Your uncle Yong Wang who usurped the throne is the leader of those traitorous ministers. No, he is not even the leader, he is just a puppet chosen by the traitorous ministers."
The little emperor asked: "Uncle Yong Wang and those traitorous ministers, haven't they all been killed?"
Queen Mother Ye said: "You can't kill all the traitors. Your imperial grandfather killed many traitors, but he was too old to kill them. Not only did the traitors come back to life, but even some loyal ministers became traitors."
The little emperor asked: "My mother said that Taifu Deng is a loyal minister, will he become a traitor in the future?"
"It's possible, but not necessarily." Queen Mother Ye said.
After hearing this, the little emperor felt fear in his eyes.
