fleeting photos

Jiang Han was young, according to Jiang Zhao's original plan, at least until she was sixteen or seventeen years old, which was also the age when he was enthroned, before he could safely hand over the country to her.

But it turns out that the crown prince she chose was indeed not mistaken.

On the top is Han Xuan, who is now the left minister of the dynasty and a scholar of the Wenxuan Palace, who is giving orders, and on the bottom is Jiang Yao, who is seven years older than her, but obviously a generation behind her, and treats her with strictness. At that time, he had grown into a little adult.

She is quick-witted and extremely eloquent, and even Han Xuan sometimes has a headache when asked by her.

She would draw inferences from one instance and think far-reaching things. Even the elderly and knowledgeable Lin Guan called her a "little scholar", and even felt that Kang Wang's lineage was smarter than the late emperor's lineage, which made Jiang Zhao roll his eyes frequently.

But she didn't bother arguing with Lin Guan, the old monk was too famous, she couldn't afford to provoke him, besides he was getting old, maybe one day he would pass away, Jiang Zhao wouldn't care about him.

Anyway, during these years, Jiang Han has grown up very well, and he has never failed Jiang Zhao's expectations.

After she was five years old, Jiang Zhao began to teach her to read memorials and write instructions when she was not in school. things.

When Jiang Han was 12 years old, Jiang Zhao hosted a grand birthday party for her. Although no formal documents have been released yet, both the front court and the harem have already understood that the candidate for the high-profile crown prince has already been decided.

Xian Wang is old, it is really difficult to move, but Zongzheng's position is still on his shoulders, Jiang Zhao does not let go, no matter how difficult people are, he does not dare to act rashly, after all, the only one who can control Jiang Zhao now Lu Cangyu had already pretended to be deaf and blind.

In the battle with Nanman that year, after Lu Cangyu won the battle and returned to Beijing, she probably had the idea of ​​persuading Jiang Zhao again. Hearing that she had no chance to have a child, she felt that it was a big joke, that Jiang Zhao was playing tricks on him indiscriminately. trick.

But after he personally visited famous doctors and treated Jiang Zhao, the results were not as expected.

Lu Cangyu was depressed for a long time, although she complained about the injustice, she had no choice but to acquiesce in the relationship between Jiang Zhao and Xie Jin, and even her attitude towards Xie Jin changed a lot, and she was willing to let her call her uncle.

And up to now, Marshal Lu, who is serious in government and doesn't care about political affairs, and Xie Yuzhe in private are considered in-laws.

Two years ago, when Qin Duan became an official, Xie Yuzhe, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was promoted to the right minister, and he governed in the same dynasty as Han Xuan, who was then the left minister. As for Tan Yuansheng and Fang Chong, they were still the capable ministers left by Jiang Zhao to Jiang Han. Now one is in the Ministry of Officials and the other is in Yushitai, they are both honing their minds and accumulating qualifications so that they can be sent by Jiang Han in the future.

Now that the court is full of the same mind, Jiang Zhao, the emperor, is also very worry-free. In addition to handling political affairs, more thoughts are also placed on teaching Jiang Han.

Jiang Zhao doesn't care about school poetry and essays, Analects of Confucius and Fu. Jiang Han has enough teachers, and her two actions can only be regarded as cheating and misleading students.

What she teaches is to criticize current affairs, the art of the emperor's mind, and what she teaches is to use kindness and strength together to win people's hearts.

Jiang Zhao asked Jiang Han: "Do you think it is difficult to be an emperor?"

Jiang Han said: "It's not difficult to say, it's not difficult but it's also a little difficult, it's hard to say."

"What's the answer?" Jiang Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped her on the head, and said with great interest, "Then come and tell me, where is the difficulty, and where is it not?"

Jiang Han said: "What's so difficult about being an emperor? The first thing is to learn to ask questions when you know what you know."

Seeing that Jiang Zhao listened seriously and did not refute her remarks, Jiang Han continued: "Prime Minister Han often comes to discuss political affairs with the imperial sister, but you seldom tell him what to do, and you don't even care about what he will do. .

You always like to ask his opinion back, if it is feasible, you will allow it, if it is not feasible, then ask again until you get the result you want. "

Jiang Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "Continue."

Jiang Han said: "The second is to use a knife to kill people. You often tell me that the game is like a chess game. One move can affect the whole body, and you have no regrets when you make a move, and you can't retreat.

But chess pieces are black and white, but people's hearts are not. As a ruler, it is a hundred times smarter to know how to use people and make good use of them. "

"That's a good thing to say." Jiang Zhao's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but reconsider the little man in front of him who he had watched grow up.

Jiang Han was raised finely when he was young, and he ate well. When he grew up, he started to draw sticks, and he has begun to take on the figure of a young girl.

She and Jiang Zhao are cousins, and there are resemblances in their faces. I have followed her all these years, no matter how I behave or how I think about it, Jiang Zhao's shadow is indispensable, and they are more like real sisters. .

It should be fortunate that although Jiang Han was a little hindered in her speech when she was a child, she quickly corrected it, and she did not inherit Kang Wang's sick body. From the time she entered the palace, Jiang Zhao Yueyue arranged for someone to ask for her peace pulse, and even more I care about my body very much.

Up to now, the little girl has grown into a young girl, healthy, smart, general, understanding of benevolence and righteousness, she is the most satisfied heir to the throne in Jiang Zhao's heart.

But the child brought out by herself, Jiang Zhao also knows her little problem, and she is a little carried away.

Xie Jin usually treats her a little doting, and he is always full of praise for her growth process, which makes Jiang Han always a little smug.

Jiang Zhao couldn't bear to reprimand Xie Jin, so he could only take the job of making bad faces on himself. No matter how much he was satisfied with Jiang Han in his heart, he still wanted to put on a prestige and impose a suppressive policy on the surface.

At this moment, Jiang Han's remarks were only satisfactory, and he asked her seriously: "Then what do you think is difficult?"

"The difficulty lies in knowing everything in one's mind. As much power as one holds in one's hands, one has to bear as much responsibility."

Jiang Han ran behind Jiang Zhao, raised his hand to rub her shoulders, tilted his head and said, "When I was a child, I watched the imperial sister, pointed out the country, hugged and hugged, and always felt that being the emperor was a very easy thing.

Only when I grew up did I realize that all the people in the world belong to me, and I can't be tolerated or make mistakes. How can it be a difficulty that can be summed up in a sentence of hard work? "

She put her chin on Jiang Zhao's shoulder, sticking to her face and coquettishly, and asked: "After I ascend the throne, where does sister Huang plan to take Master? Will she go back to the capital, or to the palace?"

"Go to Jiangnan, to Saibei, to the border where her family was exiled." Jiang Zhao had a gentle voice, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows, "The world is so big, there are extremely prosperous, and there are also desolate leaves, I want to take her to see one look."

She raised her hand and pinched Jiang Han's small face, "As for the palace, she will definitely come back, it's not like you don't know how much she loves you, even if I can rest assured, she can't rest assured, so don't try to be lazy , I came back to check my homework."

Jiang Han pursed her mouth and said in a muffled voice: "I want to relieve the worries of Huang Jie as soon as possible, so that you can take Master out for a walk, and I don't want to sit in that position alone. The heights are extremely cold, and Huang Jie understands best."

"But it's fine."

Before Jiang Zhao could speak comforting words, Jiang Han figured it out by himself, and said with a grin: "Sister Huang has paved the way for me, and there are several gentlemen who are loyal to assist the government. It was much easier for the queen."

Jiang Zhaodao: "Your father's health is not good, and you have avoided suspicions enough these years. After you ascend the throne, take your parents over to take care of them. As for whether they live in the palace or outside the palace, it's up to them to make their own decisions. .

If you want to live outside the palace, you should go out and have a look around more, and be considerate of the people by the way, don't be a king who only looks at the world from the book. "

"Han'er wrote it down." Jiang Han replied warmly.

Jiang Zhao touched her head and said, "I will give you another year to prepare well."

Jiang Han nodded and said nothing more.

In the spring of Jiaping's 14th year, Jiang Zhao officially issued the decree to establish Jiang Han as the reserve, announced it to the world, and worshiped the ancestral temple.

This year Jiang Zhao was 30 years old and Jiang Han was 13 years old.

Before the Zen throne, Jiang Zhao stared at Jiang Han and supervised the country for three months. After confirming that it was correct, he officially announced his abdication in July 14. The imperial sister Jiang Han is gentle, courteous and thrifty, and has a noble character. She can succeed the emperor. Wenda.

As soon as this edict came out, the whole court was shocked.

Although it was already tacitly understood by everyone that Jiang Han was the heir, most people never expected that Jiang Zhao would abdicate in his prime and let a young girl who had not yet reached the stage of birth come to the world.

Isn't this nonsense?

So there was an uproar, and they took turns admonishing her, but Jiang Zhao had made up her mind, and the few ministers who could persuade her seriously and effectively obeyed her orders, and they assisted the new emperor as long as they were asked to assist the new emperor, without any complaints.

In the end, Jiang Zhao naturally had the upper hand, and personally presided over Jiang Han's enthronement ceremony, Dameng Wanli Heshan, and the dream of prosperity and peace she had promised Han Xuan, all of which were handed over to her young heir.

When Jiang Han came to the throne, the left minister Han Xuan and the right minister Xie Yuzhe became the auxiliary ministers. In the two years before the new emperor Jiji, all political decisions made were still to be jointly decided by the two ministers before they were officially issued. , can only be implemented after all of them are passed.

And because Jiang Zhao retired to the prime of life, the people were happy and the country was safe, in order to show respect and respect for her, Jiang Han did not choose a new year name, but continued to use the word Jiaping to continue writing about the prosperity under Jiang Zhao's rule.

Later, it was also recorded in the history books that Lindi Zen was located in Sejong, and Sejong was named Jiaping in the reign of Emperor Sejong.

However, in the history books, the records about Lindizhao only stopped writing when the new emperor ascended the throne. The events of her life, from being favored at a young age, falling out of favor when she was young, ascending to the great treasure at the age of 16, until she was in power for 14 years, Zen was located in Sejong Jiang Han, the length of the record is not too long.

And the content is also Chen Qi's administration, to show his merits, and it does not involve the harem, nor does it involve the funeral.

Emperor Lin has no temple name, let alone a posthumous title, and there is no record of being buried in the imperial tomb even a hundred years later.

The word Lin was decided by later generations in order to distinguish it from Shizong Jiang Han, and it was taken as the meaning of the king's arrival in the world.

Some people in later generations speculated that Emperor Menglin Jiang Zhao seemed to be born to pave the way and lay the foundation for Sejong's Jiaping prosperity.

She is undoubtedly a good emperor. She has been in power for 14 years, and has wiped out all the old diseases left by Xian Dimin. the wind.

He also left many capable ministers for Shizong, including the two prime ministers Zuo Tan and You Fang who were later famous in history, and Wen Zhenggong Han Xuan, who was worshiped by Shizong as the Taifu, dedicated his life to the great Meng Jiangshan, and was named a sage after the Great Confucianism.

Emperor Lin succeeded to the throne as a woman, and appointed a woman as the heir. The two generations of female emperors in Jiaping truly created the most prosperous governance in the Meng Dynasty for more than [-] years, and at the same time improved the status of women. , it has gradually become normal for women to be officials, and the most representative one is Jiang Yao, a senior scholar.

Jiang Yao is a daughter of the royal family, a lineage of the virtuous king, and served as her companion when Sejong was young. Later, when Sejong ascended the throne, Jiang Yao was reused. , is Sejong's closest right-hand man.

She was seven years older than Sejong, dedicated to her duties, spoke out and advised, and never married.

Although Lin Dizhao only reigned for 14 years, she has directly or indirectly influenced several generations of Dameng kings. Later generations of history writers highly respected her and praised her as the "Eye of National Destiny" of Dameng. The reason and whereabouts of the Zen seat added a bit of mystery to her, and it is still the most talked about thing after many years.

Although the history books are solemn and stopped abruptly, there are actually many anecdotes about Emperor Lin spread among the people.

Among them, the most widely spread is that in the 14th year of Jiaping, when Emperor Lin abdicated, two beautiful women in beautiful clothes came to the Wanwan Temple in Lizhou, Yunyang Prefecture to pay homage.

The Wanwan Temple is a temple specially built by the imperial government after Lizhou was rebuilt due to the earthquake.

In addition, in order to commemorate the great kindness of the emperor, the governor of Lizhou at that time also set up a living temple for Lindi Jiang Zhao in the temple for the people to pay homage to.

According to the personal description of those present, the two women passed by the Shrine after offering sacrifices in the main hall, whispering for a while, and then heard the older man laughing at the other person: "You are worried about the people, and the people are also thinking about you." , these are all great merits.”

Another person said: "The merits of my life have already been used to meet you in advance."

Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, and left hand in hand.

This rumor is not true or false, and it cannot prove that one of the two people is Emperor Lin, but the unspoken part of the official history is even more imaginative. of a story.

As a result, many theories about the reasons for Emperor Lin's abdication were derived.

Among them, the one with the beginning and the end, the one with nose and eyes, that is to say, she has a beautiful and beautiful official who is close to her.

Some people believe in this statement, and naturally some people sneer at it.

But the history books did record the deeds of the female official who was close to Emperor Lin, and that female official named Xie Jin was not only related to Emperor Lin, but also appeared in the life of Emperor Shizong, and had a great influence on Emperor Shizong. The grace of teaching and nurturing is like mother and daughter.

Although these records are only a few strokes, at best they can prove that such a character is not fictional, but it is precisely because of this that the world has been given more room for imagination.

After all, Sejong and Emperor Lin are called sisters, and the actual relationship is no different from that of mother and daughter, so the female official who can be recorded as "as mother and daughter" with Sejong is naturally not a too simple identity.

But because there are no historical facts to test, these obscure records and bold imaginations can only be attributed to stories in the end.

The author has something to say:

Well, here we go, a more or less dreamy ending.

I don't want to talk too much nonsense, thank you for every click, collection, and comment, more than 30 words are too much for me, who knows...

There will be new stories, so leave here for a while, look forward to every reunion, and praise Shiqi~
