It can be said that things are turbulent in the capital city. And at this moment, another problem occurred in the inner courtyard of the palace. And it¡¯s a very serious problem. Last night, a group of rebels broke into the palace and hacked to death the maids and eunuchs. Their screams could be heard throughout the palace where Emperor Zhao Zhen was. The situation at that time was extremely critical. The one who served the emperor at that time was Empress Cao. For the safety of the emperor, Empress Cao ordered people to close the city gate tightly, and then ordered the eunuch guards to go to encircle and suppress them. The fighting outside lasted for half an hour before calming down. During this period, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the eunuch guards , Queen Cao ordered those who went out to fight to lose their hair. After the rebels were suppressed, they would be rewarded with haircuts. Because of Queen Cao¡¯s method, the rebels were wiped out without attacking the palace. It can be said that this stop, Cao Palace, deserves the most credit. But the emperor didn¡¯t think so. He believed that the rebellion was deliberately arranged by Empress Cao in order to show his ability in front of him, so he had a grudge against Empress Cao. The next day, when the news of the riot in the palace reached the ears of Hwarang, Bao Zheng and others, everyone was shocked. After being shocked, they greatly agreed with Queen Cao's actions. And the same is true for Hwarang. According to Hwarang¡¯s knowledge, Queen Cao was a rare virtuous queen in the Song Dynasty. She was born into a noble family and had a loving temperament. Emperors such as Yingzong and Shenzong spoke highly of her. "I just heard that Queen Cao was ordinary in appearance, so she was not favored by Renzong and could not give birth to a boy and a half to Renzong in her life. It is indeed very sad for a woman to be unable to give birth to a child. As for Queen Cao, Hwarang didn't like Renzong's character, but he couldn't tell. Judging from this matter, Queen Cao is indeed outstanding in ability, but the emperor may not necessarily recognize it, so it is inevitable that Queen Cao will suffer for this. However, Hwarang didn¡¯t want to get involved in the court affairs, so he still focused on solving the case. On this day, Bao Zheng went to the morning court on time. Because of the theft of the jade seal, the emperor had not gone to the morning court for several days. Many adults raised a lot of objections to this, but the emperor did not listen. As ministers, they There is no way. "However, if the emperor doesn't go to the morning court, these ministers have to go. Even if the emperor doesn't go, they must arrive on time and come back after hearing the eunuch say that the emperor is not feeling well. But just after Bao Zheng and others entered the palace, a eunuch ran up and shouted, The Emperor has arrived. After hearing these familiar words, the ministers couldn't help but smash open the country. The Emperor, who had not been in court for several days, , finally began to go to court, and the wise emperor in their minds finally came back. Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and spoke to all his beloved lords, and then asked: "Have you all heard about what happened in the palace last night?" After what happened last night, everyone in the court The ministers have already learned more or less through various channels. Now when the emperor asked, they repeatedly said yes. Some of them like to flatter, so they must be thankful that the emperor is safe and sound. Some upright ministers demanded severe punishment for the guards who guarded the palace, believing that they were derelict in allowing the thieves to invade the palace. However, at this time, the emperor's kindness showed up again. He shook his hand and said: "The palace is safe now." It's normal for them to be negligent. Let's exempt them from heavy punishment this time." Now that the emperor has spoken, what can they do but listen. And just after the emperor said this, he suddenly changed his words and said: "Today I go to court, what I really want to discuss is not this matter, but the abolition of the queen." As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly became quiet, and quiet The time did not last long, and then, all the ministers in the hall suddenly knelt down in large numbers, and they shouted in unison: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." After these ministers asked the Emperor to think twice, Bao Zheng immediately stood up and said: " The Queen is not immoral. Please give me an explanation as to why it was abolished." Zhao Zhen seemed to have expected this to happen, so he frowned slightly and said, "The Queen did not give me a son and a half daughters. This is immoral. Furthermore, there was civil turmoil in the palace last night, and the queen ignored my presence and rushed to make arrangements. Do you think she took me as the emperor seriously? Furthermore, who in the palace would dare to do this? To cause trouble, someone dared to come last night. The queen locked the palace door tightly and did not allow me to go out to check. I suspect that all this was her arrangement. Sirs, do you have anything to say? " After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, the group came to the meeting. The ministers were still furious, and Bao Zheng refused to give in at all, saying: "Empress Cao is virtuous, and we and all the ministers know it. The matter was so urgent last night, and the queen was also thinking about the emperor's safety. How can the emperor blame him for this?" Queen, ?If the queen is deposed, wouldn't there be chaos in the palace? " After Bao Zheng finished speaking, Wen Yanbo stood up and said: "The reason why the entire harem is in order now is all thanks to Queen Cao's management. I want to ask which person in the entire harem is qualified. " Zhao Zhen frowned slightly and said: "My Concubine Zhang is fine. She is kind and gentle, and her appearance is worthy of the mother of the country. " As soon as these words came out, the ministers even shouted: "The gentleness of Concubine Zhang is just the gentleness of you, the emperor. In fact, do you know how arrogant and domineering Concubine Zhang is in private? "When the officials shouted like this, they meant that they were talking about anything. "A few years ago, a palace maid had an affair with a guard. Concubine Zhang interceded on behalf of the palace maid. It was Empress Cao who stood up and said that if there is no severe punishment, the harem will be unforgivable. I would like to ask, if a person who does not even understand the laws is allowed to manage the harem, can the harem be kept from chaos? " "When Concubine Zhang was first named a concubine, she clamored for the emperor to confer an official title on her father. However, our Song dynasties have always opposed the exclusive power of relatives. If Concubine Zhang is allowed to be the queen, we in the Song Dynasty will not know whether it is the Zhao family. The Song Dynasty is still the Song Dynasty of their Zhang family. On the other hand, Empress Cao, her ancestor was the founding hero of the Song Dynasty, but she has never asked for anything for her family. Such a queen is so bad. With Empress Cao, that is I am blessed by the Song Dynasty. " Sometimes the civil servants of the Song Dynasty are very powerful. There is nothing they dare not say. As long as they feel that they are doing the right thing, they have to say it, even if the emperor is unhappy because of it, they will not hesitate. " Angry, Zhao Zhen regretted it. He couldn't find a reason to refute, so he could only announce that the matter would be discussed later, and then left the court. Many ministers were not excited by the emperor's compromise. They felt that they had done the right thing. , the emperor cannot make Zhang Guifei his queen. Even if Queen Cao dies one day, they will still oppose Zhang Guifei as his queen.
