Chapter 62: Impeachment of the Son of Heaven 1


What happened at the city gate, no one in the palace knew yet, because the queen mother and the king who gave the order were all staying in the palace at this time.In addition to them, there are all the courtiers of Feng Cang, as well as the royal family.Today's morning pilgrimage, which has been delayed from morning to evening, has not yet ended.This is a special and unsettling early dynasty.It symbolizes the supreme identity and power, the dignity above the ten thousand people and the majesty of every word, and the place where all beings bow down and worship, there is a cold and tense atmosphere.A woman dressed in a luxurious queen mother's phoenix robe stood majestically beside the golden dragon chair, and her fingers painted with bright kotan seemed to be inadvertently resting on the armrests of the dragon chair.Her fingertips trembled lightly because of excitement, but her gorgeous face was a cold majesty, which perfectly concealed the excitement in her heart and her impatience for this dragon chair.Before the matter is a foregone conclusion, she still needs to wait, wait patiently.Looking around at Her Royal Highness's ministers, she raised her chin slightly, maintaining the dignity that belonged to the Queen Mother, and her tone of voice was a little bit of the strength of the person in power, and a deep disappointment in the children who were not successful."

Nine years ago, the emperor ignored the opposition of his ministers and insisted on appointing the fourth prince Fengqi as the emperor."

She tried her best to make her voice sound majestic and composed, so that the ministers could hear that she was worried about the reign of the country, not because of her own selfishness, "Although the mourning family is the mother of a country, the rule left by the royal ancestors is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so even if the mourning family is disappointed, they have endured it for so many years." ”What she is disappointed about, the ministers naturally know in their hearts.The emperor's shocking reversal nine years ago was stunned, and the eldest son of the emperor, who was originally recognized as the candidate for the prince, suddenly lost his inheritance rights and was deceived by the emperor, that is, the current emperor, the resentment in the hearts of the mother and son can be imagined.And at this moment, the queen mother ignored the rules that harem women were not allowed to step into the palace, came here without authorization, and stood in a place where only the emperor could stand—what she wanted, almost everyone in the palace and the ministers knew it.However, no one stopped it, although many people were already uneasy in their hearts.The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.When a storm is approaching, the first person to come forward will often die the fastest and worst.The ministers knew in their hearts that maybe after today, the fate of many people would undergo earth-shaking changes, and Fengcang's situation would also undergo earth-shaking changes.The reason why the Queen Mother dares to come here today must have something behind her.The Empress Dowager Ouyang stood on a high place, her condescending gaze, she could clearly take in the expressions of everyone in the hall at a glance, her eyes were crossed by a strange light, her red lips opened lightly, and the majesty between her delicate eyebrows and eyes was suddenly born, "But now, the Zhongqing family has also seen it, Fengqi has no intention of government affairs at all!"

Nine years on the throne, he has actually stayed in the palace for less than a year.Let me ask, which emperor of which generation has achieved such willfulness as him?

”The ministers were silent.The best way to express this is silence."

The country cannot be as kingless as a day, if the emperor has no intention of doing government affairs, he is not worthy of being the emperor, because this is simply joking with the inheritance of the ancestors!"

Not worthy of being the emperor?

Even if she is the queen mother, this sentence is too rebellious, whether the emperor is worthy of being the emperor or not, but she has the final say.Empress Dowager Ouyang continued: "The royal family and the auxiliary ministers of the two dynasties have long been dissatisfied with the emperor, and they are also worried about the royal family.The mourning family is willing to risk the world's condemnation today, stand up and ask you, what do you think about this matter?

For the sake of social stability, everyone can speak freely, and the mourning family guarantees that you are not guilty!

”The words fell, and there was silence in the solemn hall.The emperor is not in the palace now, and the queen mother, as the emperor's mother-in-law, is understandable for impeaching the emperor as the queen mother.Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if the emperor is seriously derelict in his duties, as the mother-in-law, the queen mother also has the right to put forward her own opinions.Of course, it's just lip service.Today's hall is more lively than usual when the court is up, and there are a lot more people, as for who the extra people are, the queen mother knows it, and the ministers naturally know it.In order to avoid suspicion, only the Queen Mother stood at the top of the jade steps, and the others, whether it was her son, or other princes or uncles of the royal family, all stood under the jade steps in a regular manner.This is an impeachment against the emperor, in order to protect the great cause of the country, not to announce the abolition of the emperor and set up another - if the cart is turned upside down, even if you are the queen mother, she knows that she can't afford to be charged with overstepping the line.Only when the impeachment is successful and the ministers are collectively disappointed in the emperor can the emperor be deposed logically.And after the abolition of the emperor, who should be the emperor is naturally to respect everyone's opinions, and she is a harem woman, so she will naturally not exceed her authority without authorization.Although the ministers didn't speak, their thoughts were different, and their expressions were different, but at such a solemn and tense moment, no one's expression could relax.The two men standing in front of the ministers behind the royal princes looked at each other quietly, exchanged a look that only each other could understand, and then withdrew their gaze expressionlessly, and their eyes were silent.Sitting firmly in the middle palace for decades, Ouyang Lan, the queen mother, is not in vain, she has scheming and resourcefulness, and she has been camping for so many years, for what, she knows it in her own heart, and others know it.She endured it for nine years, and let the ministers witness with their own eyes how unqualified the heir chosen by the Emperor Taishang was, and chose to speak at this time, even if it was ambition, there was a logical excuse, and no one could accuse her of saying no.Because, it was the emperor who was the first to derelict his duties.Of course, if things go down, whether the results she can get will really be as she wishes is not something that she can decide with just a female streamer."

The minister thinks that what the Queen Mother said is very true."

After a short silence, the first echoing voice finally sounded in the hall, "The emperor has indeed failed the society and the expectations of the emperor over the years, and since he has been on the throne for nine years, he has never really dealt with the government one day, and it is a dereliction of duty to treat the country and society as a child's play!"

”The voice is young.The Queen Mother turned her head, and the ministers also turned their heads, followed the voice to look over, and found that the person who spoke was Feng Yuche, the son of Feng Baiqing, King of Qing.The ministers thought in their hearts, it seems that it really confirms that sentence, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.Seeing him speak first, an almost imperceptible smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face.
