Dou Huaizhen, the elder of the three dynasties, initially cursed Empress Wei to the throne, and did not hesitate to marry Empress Wei's old lady, who was almost lost in seven or eighty teeth, as if she was a family. Then, Empress Wei fell, and he immediately loyal to Princess Taiping. Now that Princess Taiping is ill in Chengxiang Palace, he hurriedly moved to Empress Gao, fighting for power for Empress Gao in everything, and his loyalty was touching.
He is worthy of being the Minister of Rites and is committed to the world through his virtues.
Everyone knows that this guy is just a fence-bearer. After many years of his scandals, he still laughs at him from time to time. However, he is thick-skinned and does not suffer from rumors at all. He is usually very open-minded and has a chic demeanor.
However, Dou Huaizhen was not completely incompetent. The elders of the three dynasties have been prime ministers for many years. Ren Chaoli has been through ups and downs over the years. He has a bad reputation but has never suffered any losses. It cannot be said that he is capable.
The superiors all know that the name of Zhen is a joke, but looking at Dou Huaizhen over the years, although he has changed his power several times, he has never betrayed people before others fall. He is also the prime minister. The superiors are happy to have more supporters, so why bother to care about their past?
Those who can afford to be stable at this time are either slippery enough or stand in the right position. The officials and generals of the East Palace are very tragic and will only wake up when they die.
At this time, Dou Huaizhen took the opportunity to persuade Li Chengning to tell the matter of governing the country from behind the curtain, and immediately pleased the two of them, Empress Gao and King Xue Chongxun of Jin. Both of them were happy that Empress Gao had real power.
Dou Huaizhen obviously understood that the most powerful person in the court today was Xue Chongxun. Although the Nanya still has great authority, it is the power of many people. In terms of individual strength, origin and power, who can compete with Xue Chongxun?
But Dou Huaizhen could not defect to Xue Chongxun because it was inappropriate for him to get too close to the vassal king. It was just right to vote for Empress Gao. She was a member of the royal family, which was completely reasonable...
In essence, it is to stand on Xue Chongxun's camp.
He ignored the reminder of the left prime minister Lu Xiangxian and continued to persuade: King Bing, although you are in the princes' house, your expenses are naturally not very abundant, and you can't do as you please.Once you ascend the throne, the world's wealth and wealth will gather in Chang'an. You will want whatever you like. Whether you love feasting or singing or dancing, no one will say that you are not. What a great thing!
Everyone looked embarrassed and thought to themselves that Dou Huaizhen is really shameless. Although everyone knows it well, you are not saying it so explicitly, right?
Sure enough, Li Chengning was moved in a few words. He hesitated a little and no longer insisted on giving way to his younger brother.
After all, Dou Huaizhen is right. No matter how you live, you are all indulgent. Obviously, the emperor's life is much better. Even if you don't have real power, you can still make trouble in the palace at will. Think about how free and easy his father lived during his lifetime.
However, Li Chengning did not agree immediately. Obviously, he was not very stupid. He knew that there were many benefits to being such an emperor, but it was also very dangerous.
No matter how you do it, it is the center of power in that position, and there must be risks. Didn’t the Emperor of Daxing die innocently?
In contrast, the princes' mansions are much safer, far away from the regime and the court officials, and they have nothing to do. No one will find any trouble to come to the Yuanfang.
Seeing that he was not right, Dou Huaizhen frowned and thought for a while and said: Since you are a filial son, you should also think about it for Concubine Shu. As long as you ascend the throne, Concubine Shu will be the queen mother. She can be worshipped in the ancestral temple a hundred years later, enjoying the incense of future generations. What a glorious thing!
Now Li Chengning was even more moved and turned to look at Concubine Zhao Shu: Mother, son minister...
Concubine Zhao Shu said softly: Ning'er is already old, just do it according to her own opinions. Don't worry, the Empress, King and the Ministers will help you, and be at ease.
Empress Gao also said: You are the heir of the late emperor, the Ai family, and your cousin, King Jin, will be on your way to you.
Xue Chongxun remained silent. He spoke very little in public and seemed a little taciturn. He was easily overlooked in the past, but now everyone attaches importance to him.
Because this low-key prince has strength, the imperial guards, the group of staff and generals around him, and various connections are very important in the court.
When Li Chengning heard this, he bowed and said: Since the queen, relatives and ministers are so loving, I will reluctantly make it...
After hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made the Li Tang court look decent.
Dou Huaizhen said: We agreed in private. You can’t agree directly outside. Later, our Political Affairs Hall will submit a letter to persuade us to advance. You have to refuse the first two times, and you will only agree when you submit a letter to the third time.
Li Chengning said: I understand.
He thought about it and then clasped his fists and said: I am still young... He hurriedly used his sleeves to cover up the beard on his mouth. Everyone was stunned, but they were still serious, as if they were in their early twenties and hadn't grown up. It was a completely fact, and the scene was really absurd.
Li Chengning continued: Therefore, there are two pleads: One is asking the queen to listen to politics. I was not the prince before I had no experience in governing the government, and everything was not understood. If no one had any advice, I might have ruined the national affairs and let down the subjects of the Tang Dynasty.If the queen is not sure, I really cannot take responsibility, so I beg the queen to agree; secondly, the county lord of Jincheng was originally my father and sister, and all the sisters were named princesses, but she was the county lord. I feel really wronged. Please be promoted to the princess.
When everyone heard the latter one, they were very satisfied with Li Chengning...
When Jincheng was married to Tubo, he was snatched back by Xue Chongxun. The matter between the two was known to everyone. Li Chengning could think of Jincheng, so he naturally expressed his attitude of living in harmony with Xue Chongxun, which was very satisfying.
No wonder Li Chengning's mother loves Ning'er very much. This guy is really cute.
As for asking the queen to follow the government, even if Empress Gao had the intention, she could not agree immediately. This would give the courtiers the impression that they were greedy for power.
Anyway, everyone likes to fake beatings, and they obviously want to refuse in every way. This situation seems to be a tradition of the Han family.
Just like when two people go to a restaurant to spend money, they often compete to pay. Is there so much money that I can't spend it?
Sure enough, Empress Gao immediately refused and said slowly: The late emperor passed away, the Ai family was sad all day long and had no intention of national affairs. There were so many loyal and virtuous ministers in the court to assist him, so you don’t have to worry.
The rule of law behind the curtain was naturally not started when Wu Zetian. If a woman was powerful and counted in the Han Dynasty, Empress Lü would not say anything. Emperor Shang of Han succeeded Emperor He as the emperor only a hundred days after his birth. Empress Deng took the imperial court as the empress dowager, but after all, she was young and widowed, so she ordered her brother Deng Qi to be the general of the chariot and cavalry, and could be recruited into the palace to discuss matters. In the first year of Yanping, Emperor Shang died young, and Empress Deng decided to establish the King of Qinghe, who was less than thirteen years old, as the emperor, and continued to serve as the emperor, and ruled the rule behind the curtain for sixteen years.
Although this form of regime is very unorthodox, there is no way to be able to check this way, and it is barely acceptable.
