Chapter 554: Harmony and Prosperity
Zhao Yun's sudden death made the succession to the throne of the Great Song Dynasty troublesome all of a sudden.
It's really troublesome.
If he is alive, it will be easier to do, because he can be persuaded to change his mind, he can keep bombing with fatigue, take turns to fight, admonish him from all sides, and even find a group of warriors to ambush, get a few old men to enter the palace with hanging ropes, in short, force him to obey, let him change the edict, Zhao Yun is still easy to deal with, after all, he is supported by Cheng Zhu Lixue, although he rebelled on the verge of death, but it should be a chaotic life with a clear mind.
But he died like that, and all paths were cut off at once.
How can a dead man be persuaded to persuade?
How can the edict be changed?
Don't listen to him?
This is not impossible, in history, under the banner of chaotic life, it is not unheard of to overthrow the edict and establish a new emperor, and those ministers don't really regard an edict as sacred.
As for Jia Rudao, it is also easy to do there.
In other words, those opponents are not worried about not being able to settle Jia Nidao, after all, Jia Nidao just wants a puppet who can be at his mercy, of course he can be his niece, but an emperor who is not very good can also be, the prince is a little unwise, which is well known to the government and the opposition, that is to say, whether it is the prince or the princess who succeeds to the throne, there is not much difference for Jia Nidao.
At least he won't insist.
But the problem is that this matter also involves the national teacher!
The national teacher must support the princess.
The government and the opposition actually know about the double cultivation of the master and apprentice, so the national teacher must support his pillow person, but if he accepts the reality and puts an empress on the stage, then what is Confucianism? What is Cheng Zhu Lixue? A woman becomes the emperor and inherits the throne justifiably, the three outlines, five constants, three from the four virtues are all shit, this is not those queen mothers who listen to the government, the queen mother who listens to the government does not violate the Confucian law, at most it is a bit of a rubbing, this is not the empress of Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian is hard to grab it, and this is inherited in accordance with the emperor's will.
To recognize this empress is to recognize a lot of things, the most important of which is the equality of men and women.
This one alone is terrifying.
It trampled Confucius, Mencius, Dong Fuzi, and Zhu Fuzi under their feet, and all Confucian classics were turned into waste paper, although the focus of these classics was not on the issue of men and women, but it was also one of the contents, and the overthrow of one thing means that all other contents are no longer immovable, they can also be overturned.
This is a blatant disdain for Confucian principles.
Accepting this empress is equivalent to letting the edifice of Confucianism begin to collapse, and if you don't accept this empress, you have to face the national teacher, and the national teacher will let them know what the collapse of life is, which is no suspense. They never thought that Zhao Yun, who was holding up science with one hand, would put such a big move before he died, even if he loved his only daughter, he wouldn't love it to such an extent, it was like falling into an evil spirit. Fortunately, although the country cannot be the king for a day, it can still be delayed for a few days under special circumstances, and the queen mother will be regent for these days! Anyway, whether the princess succeeds to the throne or the loyal king succeeds to the throne, the queen mother is stable.
So in the case of fruitless court discussions, the Great Song Dynasty court was temporarily presided over by the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Xie is Zhao Yun's original match.
This woman has been a queen for decades, and she was born in a famous family, her father is the prime minister of the Xiaozong Dynasty, but she has never been liked by Zhao Yun, and she has been a background board in the palace for decades, and at this time she can only be allowed to come out and continue to be a background board.
However......
"Since it is the edict of the first emperor, why don't you follow his will?"
The national teacher shouted.
"Returning to the country, the ministers think that it is not reasonable for this princess to inherit the throne, and it is necessary to convene the local clans and various envoys, Xuanfu envoys, various town festival envoys and northern feudal lords to discuss together, and these people will also come to attend the funeral of Emperor Daxing, just before that, decide whether the princess or the loyal king will succeed to the throne."
Jia Rudao said.
The emperor was not buried immediately when he died.
The Song Dynasty restored the ancient system, that is, the Son of Heaven was buried in July, and it was not buried until seven months, during which the dead bodies had to be constantly frozen with ice cubes.
"Ridiculous, the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, why do you need the minister to decide? What is the reason for the princess's succession? Can the ancestral system of the Zhao family have a system where the princess is not allowed to succeed to the throne? And the bones of the first emperor are not cold, and you regard his edict as waste paper, is this what you are a courtier? What is a gentleman and what is a minister? The Son of Heaven is determined by the ministers, and you are so bold, isn't this Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty from the Zhao family? β
Yang Feng sneered.
"National teacher, although the ancestral system does not have this system, but the reason is not harmonious, the etiquette has said that the woman has the meaning of three subordination, there is no special way, so the father is not married, the husband is married to the husband, the husband dies from the son, the princess is not married to the father, the first emperor should be respected by the brother, everything is by the brother, how can it be above the brother and be the emperor? And Confucius has a saying that the chicken is Si Chen, but the family is the rope, since ancient times, women have interfered in politics and disrupted the country abound, not to mention that women are emperors? The women of the past dynasties are the only ones who are the emperors, and the country is infinitely poisonous, and the national teacher represents the world, and when the order of the world is corrected, how can the first emperor die in chaos, and make the gang often incesco. β
Wang Yao said.
"Who ordained the rites?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Well, the rituals were handed down by the Zhou rites, but only partially, and later made up by the scholars of the Han Dynasty."
Wang Yao said.
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that you use the words of a scholar in the Han Dynasty and the words of a family of the ancients two thousand years ago to decide the ownership of the throne of the Great Song Dynasty? Could it be that the edict of the Great Song Emperor is not as effective as the words of these ancient scholars? Could it be that the ancients two thousand years ago could decide the fate of the Great Song Emperor? Don't you think that's ridiculous? Weekly rites? During the Zhou Dynasty, the countries were in dispute, and the land of Zhou Tianzi was not as good as the Great Song Dynasty, and you used an ancient country system thousands of years ago that was not as good as the Great Song Dynasty to make the Great Song Dynasty system, don't you think it's ridiculous? Confucius? Confucius was the highest in his life, but the Great Sikou, the land of Lu is not as good as the Great Song Dynasty, you use the words of the Zuo Erguan of the Great Song Dynasty to determine the throne of the Great Song Dynasty, don't you think it's ridiculous?
A woman takes control?
Wu?
Who is the Wu family and the Tang Dynasty?
Although the Wu family is not a Ming monarch, but in the Tang Dynasty monarchs do not say the top three, the top five can be entered, since ancient times, women have interfered in politics to the corruption of the country, but there will be no more than the male protagonist who harms the country, right? Even if Empress Liu of this dynasty is probably far better than Huiqin, right? β
Yang Feng said.
"Huh?"
Wang Yao shut up.
The second imperial division of Huiqin can be criticized, they can't be ministers, and if you want to say who governs the country better, it is obvious that he also thinks that Liu E is far more than a great painter.
"Reason? The reason you said is not the reason of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the gift of Confucianism, and the law you said is not the law of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the law of Confucianism, but the Great Song Dynasty is the Great Song of the Zhao family and not the Great Song of Confucianism. The edict of the first emperor is to inherit the throne with the princess, then the princess must inherit the throne, the edict of the first emperor is entrusted to me with the princess, then I can't sit idly by, the edict of the first emperor has the words to dare to obstruct those who are punished with rebellion, so do you want to rebel? β
Yang Feng said gloomily.
Wang Yao and the others were dumbfounded.
"The national teacher, the disciple is confused, the disciple will announce to the world, please ascend to the princess to inherit the throne."
Jia Yidao hurriedly dissociated himself from them.
"Then go and prepare, I will go to the Daqing Hall to watch, and I will see who dares to obstruct it again!"
Yang Feng shook his hand as he spoke, and the crystal ball he was playing with in his hand instantly turned into powder, and then fell from between his fingers.
Wang Yao and other ministers subconsciously trembled, and those who wanted to speak again quickly shut up, in the end, this kind of thing depends on who has the big fist, and even if they want to fight, there is no force available, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is absolutely impossible to do against the national teacher, this is also very clear to them, if they continue to obstruct, then the national teacher will use the edict of the first emperor to say that they rebelled, and then take them out to kill the whole family, then everything will be over.
The empress is the empress!
In fact, these ministers also know that purely from the perspective of practical interests, the empress is not a bad thing.
Their requirements for the emperor, in fact, is to sit down, and then everything has them, these years the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have followed this unspoken rule, the more the emperor does not care about things, the happier they are, the reason why they praise the loyal king is only because the loyal king escaped from the fetal pills, but it affects the development of intelligence, the brain is not very effective, simply put, he is a half-fool, such an emperor is easy to be empty. And the princess is also a little girl who doesn't know anything, uh, according to the current standards, she is an old girl, and she will not really manage the government after she succeeds to the throne, in fact, the princess is like a crazy girl now, and the brother and sister are stupid and crazy are in line with the minister's wishes.
The only effect was that the succession of the princess to the throne had an impact on the Confucian system of law.
It's really bad.
But this ......
Not everyone has the courage to die, especially the life of the whole family to defend the Tao, and it is also charged with rebellion, the national teacher has already said it to such a point, so whoever obstructs it will definitely die, he is not a reasonable Zhao Yun, since the Nether Realm, there are tens of thousands of lives that have died at his hands, and he killed them with his own hands, even if he indirectly killed hundreds of thousands.
It would be naΓ―ve to say that such a killing god would not dare to copy dozens of ministers.
Pu Shougeng's dead body is still in the mass grave!
In short, under the threat of Yang Feng, these ministers finally chose to shut up, and then the edict succeeded by the princess of the ascending country was announced to the world, and at the same time, under the personal control of the national teacher, the first empress of the Great Song Dynasty wore a full set of crowns and ascended the throne in the Daqing Palace......
Well, she's not actually the first woman in Da Song to wear this outfit.
Liu E also wore it back then.
It's just that Liu E didn't really ascend the throne.
In this way, the Great Song Dynasty officially entered the era of the empress, and the empress's era name was ......
Harmonious.
