On March 19, the Empress Dowager Zhou passed away.
This is the second national mourning after seventeen years.
¡°Arbors used to be a matter of course.
She went there this time, in addition to the two previous reasons, there was another very important reason, which was to prevent the shameless Empress Dowager Zhou from being buried in Yuling and buried with Yingzong.
Before his death, Yingzong issued a clear will.
After his death, he was buried with his wife Qian.
In the normal historical line, because the original person died relatively early and had no heirs, he was unable to fight against the Zhou family and their sons and grandsons.
They can only be allowed to violate the Yingzong decree.
But this time it¡¯s different.
This time Qiao Mu is still alive. Although the original person did not mention the relevant situation, Qiao Mu can feel that the original person is definitely not willing.
So she had to stop it.
Even if we can't succeed immediately, we have to postpone the matter as far as possible until the death of Emperor Hongzhi.
That way the biggest obstacle will be gone.
¡¡
On the evening of the 19th, just like last time, it took a long time for Qiao Mu to officially enter the inner court of the palace and arrive at the Jinling Hall.
The timing of her arrival was perfect.
It happened to be the time when Emperor Hongzhi was discussing with the ministers present the matter of the joint burial of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yingzong, and it had almost been decided. The Yuling Mausoleum would be opened as soon as the timing was determined.
Let her be buried in the main tomb of Yuling.
"The Ai family disagrees.
His Majesty Yingzong also disagrees. Who allowed you to violate Gu Yingzong's will and bury Concubine Zhou in Yuling? Are there none of the ministers present who were officials in the capital forty years ago?
"The Ai family is not dead yet, and we will never allow you to talk nonsense and forcefully violate Yingzong's will." "
" Qiao Mu was well prepared when he came this time. He even brought the will from forty years ago with him, in order to suppress this matter and prevent the person named Zhou from being buried in the main tomb.
Forty years is a long time.
Many ministers were officially awarded the title of Jinshi when they were over thirty years old, and entered the court as officials. There were very few people in their early twenties who were actually awarded the title of Jinshi.
And if these Jinshi want to become officials in the capital and be qualified to go to court, they have to hang around for more than ten years. Therefore, those officials who were qualified to stand in the court forty years ago, even if they live long enough, Even if he had not been demoted or died, he would still be over eighty years old now.
At this time, there is a retirement age for being an official. It does not mean that you can always be an official as long as you are alive. Seventy years old is basically the retirement age.
Coupled with various factors such as average life expectancy and positioning problems, these ministers in the court have been replaced more than twice compared to forty years ago. Even the oldest minister has been replaced. I have never personally experienced the events surrounding the end of the Yingzong Dynasty and Yingzong¡¯s legacy.
Therefore, they were all quite surprised when Qiao Mu suddenly came in and suddenly said such words.
"Are you, Empress Dowager Qian?
Queen Mother, my grandmother¡¯s last wish was to join the mausoleum with Emperor Yingzong. What do you want to do?
"This is my grandmother's last wish, I"
Emperor Hongzhi had met Qiao Mu seventeen years ago, and he was quite impressed by her, so naturally he knew her. However, he was still a little surprised by Qiao Mu's words, and said that this was his grandmother's last wish, and he couldn't do it out of filial piety. Failure to comply.
However, Qiao Mu quickly interrupted him:
¡°So, because of your grandmother¡¯s last wish, you have to disregard your grandfather¡¯s last wish, right?
It is the first emperor's will that is important.
Or is the Empress Dowager¡¯s last wish more important?
Your Majesty must not forget that the Ai family is the official wife of His Majesty the Yingzong. Regardless of the ancestral family law or the Confucian etiquette, the Ai family should be buried with His Majesty the Yingzong. Forty years after the death of the Yingzong, the Ai family stayed beside the Yingzong imperial mausoleum. Thirty-six years, and how many years did your grandmother stay at the Yingzong Emperor¡¯s Mausoleum?
Not even for a month.
?????????? It¡¯s less than a year to even observe filial piety?
Why should she be buried with Yingzong?
Is it because of her big face? Or just because she has you, can she throw me, the legal wife, aside?
Today, we will let hundreds of officials judge the truth, or if that doesn¡¯t work, let the people of the world judge the truth. Is the Ai family qualified to be buried with the Yingzong, or is she qualified?
This is the decree of His Majesty Yingzong.
If you don¡¯t believe it, you can take a look at the specific situation.There should also be records in the royal clan.
If you still don¡¯t believe it, you can invite the elders of the royal family to come over and confirm whether it is true or false. "
There shouldn¡¯t be too many reasons for arbor.
Although she has no son or grandson.
But based on her behavior over the years, based on the laws of her ancestors, and based on Confucian etiquette, no matter which side she says, it is her side. Even if she publicizes it to the people in the world, she will definitely support her as a thirty-year-old mausoleum guard. The majority of the wives were the ones who had been married for six years. Even if there was no other evidence, it was just the fact that she had guarded the tomb for thirty-six years.
She is already invincible.
No one can use this to ridicule her.
"I can prove that His Majesty Yingzong did leave such a will. The Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to stop it, but the cabinet minister rejected it. Whether it was His Majesty Yingzong's wish or Empress Dowager Qian's own willingness to guard the mausoleum for His Majesty Yingzong Thirty-six years of loving acts were far beyond what Empress Dowager Zhou could compare with her.
The previous joint burial.
I hope your Majesty will think deeply about it. "
Out of emotion, the clan first stood up and expressed their approval and support for Qiao Mu.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty Yingzong was still thinking about Empress Dowager Qian before he died. He was afraid that Empress Dowager Qian would be wronged, so he specifically abolished the bad habit of burial in order to allow Empress Dowager Qian to enjoy her old age in peace.
Empress Dowager Qian also deeply felt the affection of His Majesty Yingzong and did not dare to die in burial. She only wanted to stay in the imperial mausoleum and be with His Majesty Yingzong. This is such deep affection.
"I also hope that your Majesty will not live up to Yingzong's last wish.
You should take back your fame. "
After the clan, the concubines and concubines in the harem and concubines beside the clan also expressed their gratitude. Not only were they really moved by Qiao Mu's expression of deep love for the Ying clan, but they also wanted to repay their kindness. After all, they were the reason why they could survive. , it was all because Yingzong abolished the system of burial.
"Otherwise, they, these childless concubines, would have to be buried in sacrifices for the late emperor, the late emperor, and others as usual.
How can you not repay such a favor of living?
How could Yingzong not get his wish?
Some members of the clan and concubines spoke out, and the ministers in the DPRK also clarified the situation. Except for those ministers related to the Zhou family, they did not speak.
The rest of the ministers, especially the Minister of Rites.
Everyone spoke in support.
Help Qiao Mu speak.
It also speaks for etiquette.
Emperor Hongzhi was in a state of confusion for a moment and didn't know how to object, but he didn't want his grandmother who raised him to have her final wish to be fulfilled, so in the end he could only hurriedly say a few words to postpone the matter. Talk, and then fled, temporarily leaving the palace.
And Qiao Mu also left afterwards.
In her territory, Ciyi Palace temporarily settled down, and quickly sent people to spread the news about what happened before, hoping to get most of the officials and people to support her, and completely eliminate the Empress Dowager Zhou.
