This once glorious capital is now brewing with numerous crises.
To a certain extent, the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a compromise made by the Xu family and a release of goodwill.
But a problem has arisen. Ever since Xu Jingming was "supported" by others, there has been some kind of bad blood between the clan and the Xu family, and the sequelae soon became apparent.
In order to dispel the doubts of the kings, the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty entered the capital and ascended the throne. However, the Xu family did not dare to let go of power. Even Empress Dowager Xu, who was now 'successful and famous', was originally in her plan. Once the emperor was chosen , they can retreat behind the scenes, live in seclusion in the palace, and hide their fame. The Xu family does not have to hold power. Naturally, because of this Conglong, they will become the first-class noble family in the Ming Dynasty.
It¡¯s just that since that time, the situation of the Xu family has become precarious. Of course, they can give up all their rights and let the emperor take charge, and then the honor and disgrace of the Xu family will depend entirely on the new emperor. It's just that the Xu family doesn't dare to gamble. Who knows whether the emperor will settle the score with his wife in the future? Who knows if the emperor would suspect that the Xu family had ever wanted to usurp the throne? It was only because of the objections of the ministers and vassal kings that I gave up the idea. This is a bad debt that cannot be explained. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout unstoppably, eventually brewing bitter wine. And in the future what will happen to the Xu family?
There is no answer, because no one can answer this answer.
The emperor may give many benefits to the Xu family if he takes charge personally, he may give Empress Dowager Xu a very honorable status, and he may greet Xu Jingming with a smile, but what is the heart of the new emperor? Just as no one knew what Xu Jingming had in mind when he persuaded him to join, no one knew what the new emperor would think. Perhaps there was murderous intention behind that smile. Perhaps behind that honor, it is actually the beginning of the burial of the Xu family in the future.
The Xu family doesn¡¯t have a clear answer. Since there is no such thing, then one's own destiny must be in one's own hands. At this point, Empress Dowager Xu and Xu Jingming had a tacit understanding. In the name of the emperor's young age, Empress Dowager Xu often intervened in some military affairs in the palace, and Xu Jingming naturally became the governor of the New Army and the auxiliary minister. He firmly grasped the military and political power in his hands.
The power at this time is like a hot potato, holding it in your hand makes the Xu family feel uneasy. But they didn't dare to throw it away. They couldn't do it without catching it. If they let it go, it might be a disaster.
And what about the emperor and the clan?
The Xu family was in power and refused to let go, which naturally aroused their dissatisfaction. Although the new emperor was kind and kind, he served Queen Mother Xu like a mother and greeted her morning and night. He also seemed friendly to the assistant minister, but everyone knew that the new emperor was extremely dissatisfied. He regarded the Xu family as Cao Cao and Wang Mang.
The feudal king and the clan have been brewing dissatisfaction. The Hao family has serious troubles outside and the Xu family has the power inside, which makes them feel that their ancestor's country is in danger. They did not act rashly, but they were full of suspicion. Always be prepared for emergencies.
This is an extremely bad situation, and many ministers see the crux of the problem. But there was nothing they could do. They were worried, knowing that such suspicion would only benefit the Hao family. But without the foundation of trust, the Xu family did not dare to delegate power, and the clan had to be wary of the Xu family. Even if the Xu family delegated power, the Xu family would Shouldn¡¯t families be wary of the emperor?
In the midst of this sharp conflict, there is still peace, but there is no peace, because the pressure on the Hao family is too great, and the gentry needs everyone to unite. At present, hundreds of officials in the court are 'scaremongering' every day, so that everyone can take into account Because of my own wealth and life, I dare not easily break through the last layer of window paper.
Everyone is pathetic. The sad thing is that everyone¡¯s original intention is to protect themselves, but this protection is a hidden danger that makes them fall into the abyss.
Queen Mother Xu was indeed ill, and it was said that she was very ill. However, even if she was seriously ill, she still kept her spirits up so that Gao Jin could keep abreast of the situation in the DPRK.
This is the helplessness of Empress Dowager Xu, but there is no way at all. Her brother is almost dead, and the Xu family will continue.
Emperor Wenxuan Zhu Youdun paid his respects to the Queen Mother almost day and night after he became seriously ill. In order to take care of Queen Mother Xu, he even slept in a side hall of Wanshou Palace at night. He arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom early in the morning to inquire about her condition. .
"Mother, are you feeling better?" Zhu Youdun was not very old, but in his thirties, he had a poise that surpassed those of his age. He looked at Empress Dowager Xu with sincere concern and careful attention. Tucked in by Queen Mother XuQuilted, asked quietly.
"It's rare that you have the heart. You are the emperor and have great responsibilities. How can you stay with the Ai family every day? You are too pure and filial. It is said that you didn't sleep all night last night? Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body."
Zhu Youdun stubbornly shook his head and said, "I have received great kindness from my mother and queen, and the country governs the world with filial piety. My mother is critically ill, so how can I dare to leave without permission?"
As he was talking, Gao Jin came in cautiously and said: "Empress Qi, the new memorial from the cabinet says that Hao Fenglou will bring Princess Jing to Beijing immediately and has already set off."
When Empress Dowager Xu heard this, she immediately cheered up. She couldn't help but smile and said: "He is here after all. This is the blessing of the court." Empress Dowager Xu looked at Zhu Youdun and said, "Your Majesty, Lang Son is the one who cares most about you." Trouble, although the Hao family has become a subject, it will be in disaster sooner or later. The Ai family called him to the capital not to harm him. Firstly, they really wanted to see him. Secondly, they wanted him to stay in the capital and have a good life. Serve the imperial court and share your Majesty¡¯s worries.¡±
What Empress Dowager Xu said was actually her vision. Seeing Langshan's strength growing more and more, Empress Dowager Xu was also worried. It would be great if Hao Fenglou could enter the capital this time. Of course she didn't dare to face it. Hao Fenglou took action, but keeping this guy in Jinling was a gold medal to avoid death for the imperial court. Hao Fenglou was the only son of Hao Zheng and a first-class contributor to Lang Son. Hao Fenglou was given preferential treatment in The capital will give him fine clothes and food, and keep him in captivity, so the court will have no worries.
