Chapter 32 The Emperor’s Zen Position

February 20th, Weishui Academy.

It was not the end of the month holiday yet, so there were many servants crowding outside the academy gate, all coming to report the news to their master, and Zhang Wu was among them.

"What! The emperor was passed down as the crown prince, and he became the supreme emperor?!"

Pei Xiu's exclamation did not arouse any surprise from others. After class, the servants conveyed the news, and everyone more or less knew the news.

"It's Emperor Tianyuan."

Cui Che corrected his mistake, turned around and signaled to Zhang Wu:

"You keep talking."

“The Emperor issued an edict not to allow people to be addressed by the four words ‘天’, ‘高’, ‘上’, and ‘大’”

Before Zhang Wu finished speaking, he was interrupted again by Pei Xiu:

"What should the person with the surname Gao do?"

"Change your surname. Your Majesty has issued an edict. People with the surname Gao will change their surname to Jiang."

"Then the Bohai Gao family will become the Bohai Jiang family!"

"Not only the name, but also the title of Gaozu must be changed to Changzu."

Cui Che, who was listening in the audience, didn't care that the person with the surname Gao was changed to Jiang, but he couldn't help but think of Li Yuan.

Since it cannot be called "大", Daye Yuan became Ye Yuan.

Zhang Wu dealt with Pei Xiu, then sighed to Cui Che:

"Young Master, the girl from the Mu family can't open her rouge shop anymore."

Before Cui Che could speak, Pei Xiu asked again:

"Why, isn't the business very good?"

Cui Che was also full of doubts:

"Is it because you are jealous of your colleagues?"

Zhang Wu shook his head and said:

"It was Emperor Tianyuan who issued an edict forbidding women in the world to apply powder and eyebrows. Only women in the palace can apply powder and thrush. Miss Mu's rouge shop did not have a connection with the palace. Even if folk women bought rouge, they could not use it, so they

I have no choice but to prepare to close the door.”

Pei Xiu was not angry when he heard this, but he only dared to whisper:

"If a girl puts on makeup and makeup, it will hinder the emperor. Even this must be forbidden."

Cui Che lightly kicked Pei Xiu to shut him up, and then laughed with Zhang Wu:

"If a rouge shop is closed, it will be closed. At least the store is still there. You go back and tell Sister Mu that I will discuss other business with her when the academy is on holiday."

"Okay, young man, I will go back to the city."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Please be careful on your way back."

"Alas, this slave knows."

After sending Zhang Wu away, Cui Che and Pei Xiu looked for Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei. They had also just sent away the servants at home. The four of them returned to their residence together and sat around, eating steaming mutton hot pot and talking.

I just heard the news when I got up.

Cui Che was as usual, as long as it was related to current affairs, he acted as a listener and never expressed his position easily. He allowed Yang Xuangan, Dou Wei, and Pei Xiu to guide the situation.

Cui Che had told Pei Xiu to shut up before, but people were coming and going at the entrance of the academy. Cui Che was worried that Pei Xiu's words would be overheard by outsiders, and he would be charged with making irresponsible remarks about the emperor.

If Pei Xiuzhen committed a crime, he would not have to go anywhere else. He would go directly to the palace to become a eunuch, and he would not need to go through the process of palace punishment again.

Of course, Cui Che actually has some opinions about the emperor. It's not that the rouge shop can no longer operate, but he thinks that the emperor only allows the women in the palace to dress up beautifully, but allows the common people to bear the harsh blow without makeup. This is not true.

typical.

Even Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei couldn't help but complain.

But the main topic of discussion is still the fact that Emperor Zen is located in the crown prince.

The prince was only seven years old, so he definitely couldn't handle government affairs. Yu Wenyun still had to do it himself, so why did he have to rush to the throne.

Everyone discussed it for a long time, but they never got to the point, or they deliberately didn't get to the point.

In Cui Che's view, the root cause of what Yu Wenyun did was his physical collapse.

Yu Wenyun was indeed dissolute and unfilial, but he was not a fool, let alone a lunatic. Otherwise, he would have sent people to kill Wang Gui as soon as he came to power, and he would not have waited patiently for more than half a year to trap and kill Qi Wang Yu Wenxian and execute his so-called party members.

Wait until you have control of the situation before taking action.

Such a person would not abdicate the throne to his seven-year-old son on a whim and for no reason.

Cui Che guessed that Yuwen Yun knew that his life was short, so he wanted to help his son secure the throne in advance.

Yu Wenyun was only twenty-one years old, but his years of excessive drinking and sex had already drained his body. Especially after the death of Emperor Wu of Zhou, he indulged in vengeance, which was even worse for his health.

Since he ascended the throne, Yuwen Yun killed ministers indiscriminately in order to retaliate. Not only King Yuwenxian of Qi, but also Wang Gui, the general manager of Xuzhou, and Yuwen Shenju, the general manager of Bingzhou, were also given poisoned wine. Wei Chiyun, the general manager of Qinzhou, also died of fear and was killed by his best friend.

The news of Wang Gui's death shocked me to death.

After eradicating these favored ministers of the late emperor, Yuwen Yun's own cronies were able to quickly rise to power, and the most popular one among them was Yang Jian, the patriarch of the country.

But it happened that the prince was not born to a daughter of the Yang family.

Yang Lihua gave birth to only one daughter, named Yuwen Ying'e. The prince's biological mother was a sinner, named Zhu Manyue.

Under the temptation of imperial power, blood relationship cannot be used as a basis of trust. How could Yu Wen Yun trust Yang Jian, so he established his own Zen position to help the prince Yu Wen Chan secure the throne.

Time came to April, and Emperor Tianyuan made Zhu Manyue the Tianyuan Emperor and Queen, alongside Tianyuan Queen Yang Lihua.

In the fifth month, Yuwen Yun ordered his five uncles, King Zhao Yuwenzhao, King Chen Yuwenchun, King Yue Yuwensheng, King Dai Yuwenda, and King Teng Yuwenkui, to leave Chang'an and go to their territory to live in Tibet. Each of them was given food to 10,000 households.

He was worried that these high-ranking uncles who stayed in Chang'an would usurp his son's throne in the future.

Seeing that these clan dignitaries were expelled from Chang'an, and the next step was to deal with him, Yang Jian began to become more anxious, and even acted out of order, and even whispered to others:

"Emperor Tianyuan really has no virtue, nor is he expected to live a long life."

If such words were spread, it would be a serious sin.

Fortunately, although the person who heard this was also named Yuwen, he was the younger brother of Yuwen Shenju, the governor of Bingzhou who had been sentenced to death before, and the general Runan Gong Yuwenqing.

Yu Wenqing deeply hated the emperor for punishing his brother for being innocent, so there were no rumors. Yang Jian's adventurous words also successfully brought him closer to Yu Wenqing.

On the first day of the seventh lunar month, Sima Xiaonan of the Zhu Kingdom became one of the four assistants. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Emperor Tianyuan appointed Sima Lingji, the daughter of the younger emperor Sima Xiaonan, as his queen.

Sima Xiaonan was the son of Sima Ziru, a minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and an old friend of Gao Huan. Because he was suspected after the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he surrendered the city to the Zhou Dynasty.

Yu Wenyun's move was to introduce Sima Xiaonan, the representative figure of Guandong, to compete with Yang Jian.

But Yu Wenyun was worried that Sima Xiaonan was no match for him. On July 23, Yu Wenyun changed the title of Emperor Tianyuan's Empress Zhu Manyue to Queen of Heaven, and established his concubine Yuan Leshang as Queen of Tianyou, Chen Yueyi as Queen of Tianzuo, and Yang Lihua, Queen of Tianyuan.

Respect each other, the four queens stand side by side.

Yuan Leshang is the daughter of General Yuan Sheng of Kaifu Yitong, and Chen Yueyi is the daughter of General Chen Shanti.
