The story takes place during the unification of the Sui Dynasty, when Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was the emperor. Rumors of his worries about the Inner Chambers were widespread among the government and the opposition, raising doubts about whether he was really afraid of the Inner Chambers. And it was at Queen Dugu's funeral that the truth gradually surfaced.
The story takes place in the fourteenth year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty, and the location is in the palace of Emperor Wen of Sui.
Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian admired his ancestors very much and attached great importance to the ancestral tablets he carried with him. Whenever someone came to see him, he would use the ancestral tablet to test whether the other party was sincere, and if the other party treated the ancestral tablet disrespectfully, he would be suspicious.
On this day, Empress Dugu died, and Emperor Wen of Sui was very sad for her. However, when preparing for her funeral, Yang Jian revealed his inner contradictions and hesitation.
He thought to himself, if someone disrespects Queen Dugu's ancestral tablet at the funeral, will it cause disaster? So, he decided to use this opportunity to test the loyalty of the inner chamber and his respect for the ancestral tablet.
On the day of the funeral, Yang Jian personally attended and looked at Queen Dugu's remains in filial piety clothes. He stared at her ancestral tablet, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
In his heart, he longed to see the people of the inner chamber treat her ancestral tablet with reverence and reverence, as a way to prove their loyalty and love for the Empress.
However, the scene at the funeral left Yang Jian shocked and disappointed. Although the people in the inner room tried their best to show great grief, their attitude towards the ancestral tablet was cold and perfunctory.
Although some people kowtow religiously, their movements are not smooth and seem to lack sincerity. Others don't even take the initiative to kowtow, just mechanically repeating some ritual movements.
Yang Jian was shocked to find that the inner chamber he had always trusted and relied on was treating the ancestral tablet so disrespectfully. After the funeral, he thought about all this, and a huge contradiction arose in his heart.
He began to doubt his own judgment and felt that he had misunderstood the people in the inner room. At the same time, he also had doubts about whether he was really afraid of the inner room.
So, Yang resolutely decided to have a heart-to-heart communication with the people in the inner room. He summoned the main members of the inner chamber, including the noble concubine, the crown princess, and other concubines, and frankly expressed his concerns and doubts to them. He told them that he had always thought that the people in the inner chamber were loyal to him, but that a scene at the funeral made him suspicious.
After hearing this, the people in the inner room knelt down one after another to state their loyalty and respect for Queen Dugu, gave Yang Jian a bunch of reasons, and expressed their loyalty to the emperor.
They said that funeral ceremonies require cumbersome etiquette, so some movements may be flawed due to unskillful movements. However, their feelings for Queen Dugu are sincere.
After listening to their explanations, Yang Jian let go of his doubts in his heart, and strengthened his trust in the inner room. He realizes that he has misunderstood the people in the inner room and is ashamed of his previous actions.
At the same time, he also understood how he should treat the members of the Inner Chamber as a ruler, and felt more the wisdom and courage that he should have as a leader.
Over time, his trust and dependence on the inner chamber deepened. Gradually, his relationship with the people in the inner chamber became closer and closer, and they became trusted and supportive partners for each other.
Yang Jian wasn't really afraid of the inner room. In fact, he cherishes the members of the Inner Chamber and shows trust and dependence on them. Queen Dugu's funeral also awakened his doubts and worries about the people in the inner room.
But after interacting and communicating with each other, he not only proved that his judgment and trust were correct, but also made the people in the inner room feel their close relationship with the emperor.
