Chapter 642: Ecstasy
The next day, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.
This is the first court meeting since the Autumn Rebellion, and everyone seems to know that this court meeting has a different meaning.
There are dozens of yamen in the six departments of the cabinet, and all the chief officials who are above the fifth rank are dressed in court clothes, and they wait outside the noon gate before the beginning of the Mao period.
Even some martial artists and clans, who only knew how to enjoy wealth and prosperity before, have come to the court today.
Jia Baoyu naturally came.
He stepped on the point, so when those civil and military officials and clan nobles had not had time to have many sets of friendships with him, the three-way drum had sounded, and the Honglu Temple passed "singing", so the hundred officials lined up into the palace and entered the palace.
Civil officials enter from the left gate, and military generals and noble clans enter from the right.
It is worth mentioning that because there are a lot of people who come to the court today, there are officials from Honglu Temple queuing up.
On the honorable position, it should be headed by Jia Baoyu.
However, when the official of Nahonglu Temple saw that King Chungshun was already standing in the first column on his left hand in the morning, he looked at the other party twice, and King Chungshun did not seem to be paying attention, so he did not know what to do.
Jia Baoyu didn't care, and when he saw that the person next to him gave up his position, he stood on the right side of King Zhongshun.
Then King Zhongshun seemed to find Jia Baoyu next to him, and he smiled and said, "Good nephew, you are here too?" Come on, come on, you stand here with Uncle Nine......"
At this time, everyone was lined up to leave, he said this, and his fat body did not look like he was going to move at all.
Hypocrisy, pretentiousness is obvious.
"Okay, then thank you Uncle Jiuwang for giving in."
Jia Baoyu smiled, followed his powerless pull, and walked in front of him.
King Zhongshun's face suddenly turned extremely wonderful.
Why does this little rabbit cub lack heart, doesn't he say that he is the most "polite", shouldn't he be polite at this time, and say something like "You are an elder, you should be standing there"?
"Eh, is Uncle Wang unwell?"
Jia Baoyu walked over and asked when he saw that King Zhongshun did not get out of the way.
"Ahem, no, no."
Next to him were the officials of Honglu Temple, and there were a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes behind him, and King Zhongshun was not easy to rebel against, so he had to get out of the way.
I secretly hated and said secretly, it seems that I can't be too polite in the face of this little rabbit cub in the future......
The small episode was seen by the people behind them, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
People who are not familiar with Jia Baoyu and King Zhongshun just watched a small theater.
Those generals and nobles who are loyal to or have taken refuge in Jia Baoyu naturally laugh secretly in their hearts, and only feel that the mentality and realm of King Zhongshun and Jia Baoyu are poor and cannot be counted in the Dao.
As for those who are loyal to the king, well, there are almost none here, just a few clan members who have come in to watch the excitement.
And these people have only recently been encircled by the king of loyalty.
What kind of way to rely on, Jia Baoyu knows, and Jia Baoyu knows, and Xiyuan also knows......
The emperor died, and it was impossible for the Emperor Taishang to come to the court in Xiyuan.
This court meeting could have been held without it.
Just because the cabinet let go, everyone came.
There is no emperor, there must be a presiding person.
Wang Weiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, as the head of the hundred officials, took over this task.
Jia Baoyu has no objection to this.
If it weren't for the Emperor Taishang telling him to listen to more political affairs, he wouldn't want to come.
No matter how you say that, major events will not be decided at the meeting, and what is decided at the meeting is not a major event.
For example, the disposal of the officials involved in the case, the emperor's funeral, and the rewards for the meritorious deeds of the relevant people are all in his hands.
In the bed recuperation of the Emperor Taishang, before the new monarch was born, no one could bypass him to decide these things.
Therefore, a relatively casual court meeting, Jia Baoyu listened casually.
What is the progress of flood control in Jiangzuo, the household department has recently spent too much, and it is unable to make ends meet, etc.
Of course, it is inevitable that there will be a big funeral involving the emperor, and some officials will intercede for other officials......
"Shousuke, ladies and gentlemen, I have something to discuss with you."
"What?"
"At that time, the court was eventful, the second prince rebelled, His Majesty died, and no one was in charge of the major affairs of the court, which was by no means a long-term strategy.
At this time, I think that the first task of the imperial court is to negotiate the election of a new monarch, or at least to determine the position of the prince and act as the government of the court. ”
As soon as this issue came out, everyone in the temple became attentive.
Even Jia Baoyu's eyes narrowed.
Shang Shuzong, the cabinet minister and criminal department, said: "What does Lord Guan mean by this? Didn't the Emperor Taishang already make a decree to make King Jing act as an agent for the affairs of the court? ”
"The Emperor Taishang did order King Jing to temporarily manage the military and politics, and the Taishi and Shoufu jointly supported such a will.
But that was on the Iron Net Mountain, and there was no way to do anything about it.
Now that the Emperor Taishang and all the officials have returned to Beijing, they should restore the national law and discipline.
Although His Royal Highness King Jing is young and has made many meritorious deeds, he is still young after all and neglects national politics.
Moreover, King Jing has just been crowned king, and even the "return" ceremony has not yet been held.
In this way, if the major affairs of the dynasty are always decided by King Jing, it will be incorrect and unreasonable......"
It's a good one with a bad name and a bad word.
All at once it got to the point.
Even Zong Zhe's eyes changed.
He looked at Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu didn't seem to care at all.
It was the King of Zhongshun next to him, with a smile in the corner of his eyes......
"Nonsense, His Royal Highness King Jing is the grandson of the Emperor Taishang, and he is the only prince in all the bloodlines of the Emperor Taishang!
Now what are you saying here, 'not right'? Isn't it contempt for the holy will and disrespect the emperor? ”
Seeing that the other party's words were aimed at Jia Baoyu, Wei Liqi immediately came out of the queue.
"General Wei misunderstood, this official really has no disrespect for the Emperor Taishang and His Royal Highness King Jing, just on the matter.
A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.
The imperial court can rely on His Royal Highness King Jing for a while, but it cannot rely on King Jing I.
The ministers obey the monarch's orders to govern the country, this is the right way of heaven, does General Wei think so? ”
Wei Liqi's face was stunned, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Seeing Jia Baoyu shaking his head at him, he snorted and retreated.
No matter how high-sounding this person is, he has already seen that the other party is targeting Jia Baoyu.
Everyone knows that Jia Baoyu has just been crowned king, and it is time to consolidate the foundation.
They are in a hurry to set up a new monarch, this is how they can't get along with Jia Baoyu!
Seeing that this Guan Daren "repulsed" Wei Liqi, many other civil officials immediately echoed his remarks.
Zong Zhe said: "Then I don't know who you want to nominate as the new monarch?" ”
As soon as this question came out, the people who were hot just now immediately stopped talking.
The emperor died and a new monarch was appointed, which was a natural thing, and everyone was willing to echo it.
But who to support, this is related to the position, that is a big deal, no one dares to speak easily.
Someone asked for the meaning of the first assistant.
Wang Weiren said: "The death of the first emperor and the establishment of a new monarch are the top priorities of the country.
But His Majesty died suddenly, and he did not appoint a prince, so in this matter, even Benfu really did not dare to specialize.
It just so happens that all the civil and military officials are here today, so you colleagues may wish to speak freely and say the new monarch candidate in your heart.
If we can convince all the ministers, we will ask the Emperor Tai again, and if the Emperor Taishang can also approve, then I will be the fifth emperor of Daxuan! ”
Wang Weiren's words were very neutral, saying that they were just recommended, and in the end they had to be handed over to the Emperor Taishang for decision.
So the hall was suddenly full of whispers, and they exchanged heads and ears.
An inspector of the Imperial History of the Imperial Court said: "Your Majesty died, the second prince conspired to die in rebellion, and only the fourth prince Jingqi was left among His Majesty's heirs, and he should succeed to the throne." ”
His words represent the minds of the majority of officials who cling to orthodoxy and do not know what to do.
But how smart and cunning the court is, seeing that there is no big guy to echo it, combined with some rumors that he heard, he did not speak out to support it.
There is no one to support it, so I can only continue to talk about it, saying everything.
King Jing, King Zhongshun, and King Guojun and even some remote clan princes are also mentioned.
But after all, no one dares to be easily promoted.
Finally, someone asked what the first assistant Wang Weiren meant.
Wang Weiren couldn't shirk two sentences, and suddenly said: "The old man thinks that His Royal Highness King Jing is talented, has both ability and political integrity, and is deeply trusted by the emperor, so he should be promoted as the new king!" ”
As he spoke, he walked up to Jia Baoyu and bowed.
His move surprised even Jia Baoyu.
He looked at Wang Weiren's sincere face, and then looked at King Zhongshun next to him.
If he had gotten well, King Zhongshun would have already wooed Wang Weiren, but it seems that King Zhongshun is not surprised at all.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "What does Shoufu mean by this?" This king is a shallow learner, so the first assistant and the other ranking adults should be other talents......"
Wang Weiren said sincerely: "His Royal Highness King Jing does not need to be too humble.
Since the rebellion of Iron Net Mountain, almost all major internal and external affairs have been decided by His Highness, and His Highness has handled them properly.
However, as Lord Guan said, if His Royal Highness can't go further, the handling of the government will not be good after all.
Therefore, as long as His Royal Highness can go to the Emperor Taishang and ask for a holy decree to establish a new king or prince, we are willing to support His Highness! ”
Many people can't keep up with Wang Weiren's rhythm at all, and they used to let everyone express their opinions, but now they suddenly represent the ministers to support King Jing?
Behind Wang Weiren, Zong Zhe didn't know what to think, and his expression was about to come out of the queue in a hurry. After thinking about it, he stood back again.
The smile on Jia Baoyu's face faded, he looked at Wang Weiren, squinted his eyes and asked, "What does Lord Shoufu mean, is it for me to ask for the Holy Decree?" ”
Wang Weiren's face was sincere: "The so-called intransigence, if Your Highness thinks it is inappropriate, the ministers are willing to accompany Your Highness to go together." ”
"Hehehe......"
Jia Baoyu laughed again, under Wang Weiren's suddenly tightened eyebrows, he shook his head and said, "Thank you Shoufu for your kindness, but this king really has no intention of coveting the big treasure."
This king left his grandparents when he was young, and now he is finally favored by the emperor and the queen mother, and he is only willing to accept joy under the knees of his second elder, and do more filial piety, and he really doesn't want to be burdened by complicated government affairs.
Even at this time, it was only because the Emperor Taishang needed to recuperate, and the king had to reluctantly get up to do some chores in order to share the worries of the Emperor, which was already the limit of the king.
This king only thinks that when the emperor canonizes a new monarch in the future and takes over the affairs of the dynasty, this king will be relaxed.
This is the idea in the heart of this king, but Shoufu wants this king to inherit the unification, it is too difficult for this king, and it is difficult to obey his fate. ”
Jia Baoyu said, not giving the ministers a chance to react, and continued: "Okay, this king still has to go to see how His Majesty's funeral preparations are, and I will bother Shoufu and Uncle Jiuwang to take care of it, if you elect a new monarch, remember to send someone to tell me." This king is out of company. ”
After saying that, Jia Baoyu left the hall directly, leaving only a dumbfounded court official.
……
Jia Baoyu, who left the Golden Palace, had no smile on his face at all, only coldness.
Did Wang Weiren take him for a fool?
In the current situation, whoever expresses his desire to be an emperor is a fool!
And let him go to the Holy Decree?
If he is really a child who does not understand the world, or if he is pampered and arrogant because the Emperor favors him, maybe it is really possible for him to be a ......
Wang Weiren has obviously gone to the opposite side of him.
He knew better than anyone that in the current situation, the later the Emperor Taishang opened his mouth to appoint a new monarch, the better it would be for him.
Emperor Jingtai and the second prince died, and the large political void they left behind was waiting for the successor to fight for it.
It's clear that he's won the most now, and there's only going to be more.
What is loyal to the king, the king of Guojun, those are not enough.
At a certain point, even he can no longer rely on the Emperor Taishang and be able to sit in that position.
So, if he panics, he's a real fool.
Shaking his head, Jia Baoyu no longer paid attention to this matter and turned around and came to Daming Palace.
……
What will happen in the court, people who should know will naturally know.
In the Taishi Mansion, Ye Qiong sighed to Ye Hao's sister and brother: "Ziheng is not yet the crown, but his mind is not like a teenager at all.
At his age, I hope that he can be a little rebellious, arrogant and even make mistakes, because that way it looks more real.
However, at an age when he needs the guidance and support of the elderly, he can calmly face military affairs and intrigues alone, which really has to be amazing and surprising. ”
The Ye family is a lone seedling seedling that continues the incense on Ye Hao, and he will definitely step into officialdom in the future, so Ye Qiong has taught him carefully since he was a child, so that he also understands some government affairs better than others.
After learning about the court meeting and listening to Ye Qiong's analysis, he looked at it with the mentality of a bystander, Jia Baoyu was able to be unmoved under Wang Weiren's calculations, which was really a little too rational and calm.
If it were him, Ye Hao felt that he might not be able to do it.
Because, the bait given by the other party is a heavy weapon in Kyushu!
If you get it, you can become the supreme in the world and have this scenery embroidered thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
No one can be unmoved by such temptations.
Of course, his surprise was the same as his grandfather's, it was not that Jia Baoyu was unsuccessful, but that he could fully react on the spot, see through Wang Weiren's thoughts, and make a perfect response and counterattack.
It seems that he doesn't need a strategist or a wise man at all.
"No wonder they all say that when heaven and earth are in turmoil, there will be demons born, and I think Ziheng is a demon......
Ye Hao sighed with emotion, and was immediately stared at by two pairs of eyes, and he had to stop talking.
Resentment in my heart.
It's still not my own sister and grandfather, I can't just talk about it casually.
This is still because the other party has not become an emperor, and when he becomes an emperor in the future, won't he have no status at home?
Ye Qiong said: "But it's also, a natural emperor must have an absolutely mature and rational personality."
Because some mistakes can be made by ordinary people, but the emperor cannot.
When I saw Ziheng, I seemed to recall the emperor when I was young.
He was an old man, and he was also a person who amazed that era, so even if he was not the person chosen by Taizu...... In the end, he is the one who reigns over the world.
However, for a so-called 'unjustifiable name', the price that the Emperor Taishang paid for it was too much, too big.
Do you want your bloodline to go through such a long bloody storm again......"
Ye Qiong's voice was already very small at the end, and Ye Hao's sister and brother knew that he recalled the secrets of the past, and they didn't dare to bother.
