Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shiqi almost pleadingly, and asked:

"Aiqing, since there is already a precedent after Song Renzong's abolition, why don't we follow this beautiful matter and make a decision, so that we have to spread this matter out in the court and let others talk about it?"

Yang Shiqi bowed his head and said:

After Song Renzong was abolished, Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan tried their best to stop him, telling him about such a disadvantage, and even led more than a dozen important ministers in the cabinet to enter the court to admonish him, but he was deposed by the emperor instead. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This matter has been criticized by all the ministers, and it is still ridiculed in the annals of history, so, who said that after the abolition of Song Renzong, it was all praise! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shiqi sincerely knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"At this time, against the emperor's will, being rejected by the emperor, or even deposed is just a trivial matter, if in the future, there will be a loss in the annals of history, ridiculing the emperor, that is a big deal, the emperor, you treat the ministers with all your heart, like a relative, Yang Shiqi must think about the emperor."

After Yang Rong finished speaking, he couldn't help but shed tears, he couldn't stop kneeling down and kowtowing, and his scalp was broken.

"It seems that you really won't support the abolition of the queen?"

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was both angry and helpless about this loyal old minister.

What's more, Yang Shiqi's words were polite and courteous, affectionate and righteous, Zhu Zhanji wanted to have a seizure, and there was no reason to be angry at all;

If you want to express your emotion and support, then you will completely fall into their trap, your own ideas will not be implemented, and the matter of abolishing the latter will be empty talk.

That's exactly what they wanted.

"In that case, how can I explain to my sister? These old foxes, what they said so high-sounding, are nothing more than afraid of the aftermath of the abolition, saying that they have received the support of several of your important ministers, you are afraid that the ministers will point to the backbone behind your backs to talk about you, and even afraid that future generations will scold you, afraid of taking responsibility, ruining your reputation in that life, treating you so well in vain, treating you as a father and brother, treating each other with affection, but you are playing with me, it is really hateful! ”

Zhu Zhanji thought angrily, and turned his head listlessly to ask the rest of the people:

"What do you mean, it's the same as Yang Aiqing, I'm afraid it's the same?"

"Exactly."

Zhang Fu, Yang Shiqi, Saiyi, Xia Yuanji and others knelt in unison.

Only Yang Rong was silently in place.

"Okay, I know, let's talk about it here today, let's disperse."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand weakly.

"Yes, the ministers are leaving."

The five of them knelt down again.

"Wait, Yang Rong Yang Aiqing, you stay, I still have something to talk to you about alone."

Zhu Zhanji shouted cordially.

"Yang Aiqing, you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties, it is rare that you can withstand the pressure today, be different, at this critical moment, support me, I am full of gratitude. For the sake of their cherished reputation, they did not hesitate to disagree with me, putting me in an embarrassing position. I hope that you can continue to support me, and in this matter of the abolition, no matter how difficult and dangerous, even if I live in my lifetime, I will definitely succeed. ”

Zhu Zhanji sincerely held Yang Rong's hand, looked at Yang Rong with firm eyes and said.

"Is the emperor really so determined? For the sake of Sun Guifei, is it worth it to offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

Yang Rong was overjoyed, but he still tested Zhu Zhanji's determination to abolish the queen again.

"Of course it's worth it. I and Sun Guifei have a deep and righteous relationship, and the concubine has accompanied me all the way from the cardamom years, and now she has given birth to a prince for me, and she has worked hard and made great achievements, whether it is talent, virtue, and ability, Sun Guifei is above Queen Hu, so I must make her the noblest woman and the happiest woman in the world. ”

"The emperor has a deep affection for the concubine, and future generations will definitely spread the emperor's affection and righteousness. Since the emperor is so determined, the old minister is willing to persuade several other ministers for the sake of you and the concubine to achieve their wishes. Not to mention that they should change their minds, at least, not to stand up and openly oppose the abolition. ”

Yang Rong hurriedly knelt down and said seriously.

"Yang Aiqing, you are really my confidant. I and the concubine will always remember your kindness, and after the deed is done, I and the concubine will come to thank you in person. ”

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed.

"It's tormenting the old minister. The concubine is a delicate and transparent glass-hearted person, and she can see through every word and deed of the old minister. The old minister helped the emperor, also because the old minister also sincerely hoped that there would be such a beautiful woman who could bring glory to the world and add glory to the emperor. ”

Yang Rong thanked Zhu Zhanji again.

Coming out of the Qin'an Palace, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and the others were already waiting for Yang Rong by the plum forest in the Imperial Garden.

When Yang Rong walked over from Merlin, Xia Yuanji suddenly stopped him and said with some sarcasm:

"Brother Yang, how much benefit did the concubine give you, so that you bent the law for personal gain and helped her speak? Today you have a long face, we are all against the emperor, and you are the most loyal! ”

"Yang Rong fully understands the mood of several brothers, and allows the younger brother to tell you the reason first, is it okay to be angry again?"

Yang Rong bowed deeply to several ministers.

Then, Yang Rong Zhengse said to Xia Yuanji:

"Originally, several of us cabinet scholars were advancing and retreating together, and we had the same opinion, so why should I stand on the opposite side and speak today? Because the determination of the emperor to depose is firm, it is beyond our imagination, and I am afraid that our subordinates can not stop it. ”

Xia Yuanji said silently: "However, it is really not feasible to do things after the abolition. ”

Yang Rong was about to repeat what Zhu Zhanji said to him just now, but at this time, Yang Shiqi suddenly interrupted Yang Rong's words:

"Brother Yang Rong, they all say that you are smart, why don't you understand my heart this time, but are a little self-inflictedly smart?"

Then, Yang Shiqi said to Yang Rong in his heart:

"None of us can see the emperor's intentions? It's not that a few of us don't have eyes and don't support the emperor, but you see, which of the faults of the middle palace listed by the emperor today should be abandoned? No son can have a stepson, there are precedents in all dynasties, and other crimes, even more crimes, there is no excuse for the crimes that I want to add, how can I support him. ”

Yang Rong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but bow deeply to Yang Shiqi and said:

"Brother Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong is a long-term insight today. The emperor has no reason to abolish the middle palace, if we openly support the abolition of the queen at this time, the courtiers will not blame the emperor in the future, but will only say that a few of our cabinet ministers who discuss with the emperor do not distinguish between black and white, and disregard conscience. Leave infamy? ”

"So what now?" Yang Rong is also learning to be obedient now.

"Tomorrow, the emperor will inevitably summon us, and when the time comes, you can do what I say."

Yang Shiqi said confidently.

On the second day, the emperor summoned Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi to the West Corner Gate and asked with hope:

"What was the outcome of your discussion yesterday?"
