Chapter 7: The Gift of the Son of Heaven

The two of them came to complain.

Xiangfu has simply turned into a vegetable market.

The mood of the father and son of the Yang family can be imagined, Yang Tinghe squinted his old eyes, Yang Shen panted like a cow, and suddenly, he found that Zhang Heling actually got up and was about to go out.

"Stop!"

Yang Shen roared angrily: "Shou Ninghou, Mao Butang is here, aren't you reasonable, you can tell him!" ”

Zhang Heling is so embarrassed, he saw Jia Yong's miserable appearance, if Mao Cheng caught him, it is estimated that the end will be 100,000 times worse!

"That champion duke, the Queen Mother still has something to do with me, you discuss it first, just tell me the result if you have it, I ......"

"Don't go!"

Mao Cheng was full of anger and rushed in, looking at Zhang Heling, the eyes of this Ministry of Rites Shangshu were red!

"Shou Ninghou, you came quickly!"

Zhang Heling rolled her eyes, they were all blocked, and it was useless to be afraid.

"Master Mao, when you come at this time, have you already made a contribution to Xinjun first? You send him into town, and this time you should have a seat in the cabinet! ”

"You ......" Mao Cheng really wanted to scold, but he still swallowed those two words back.

The great uncle of a country still needs to be faced.

It's useless to be angry with Zhang Heling.

He turned his head with guilt on his face and looked at Yang Ting and Shi Li.

"Elder Ge, the lower officials have made a big disaster, and the handle has fallen into the hands of others. The lower officials have the trust of the elders, and the lower officials are willing to accept the guilt! ”

Yang Tinghe swept Mao Cheng with his old eyes, sighed slightly, and could hear that there were regrets, anger, and helplessness.

"Don't say that, what do you mean?"

Mao Cheng lowered his head and was speechless for a while.

When he went to greet Zhu Houxi, he advocated treating him as a prince, so Zhu Houyi sat in the prince's car all the way, and Mao Cheng's attitude was not doubtful.

But now that even the Ministry of Rites has been folded in, as a scholar, he can't stay out of it.

"Pavilion Elder, the lower official plans to resign and resist all the crimes, as long as it does not affect the overall situation of the imperial court, the lower official will die without regrets!" Mao Cheng said, wiping his tears.

He did hesitate a little, but he couldn't say this, but Yang Tinghe was so smart, I hope the elder could understand his hard work.

Mao Cheng bowed his head and remained silent, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.

After a long time, Yang Tinghe let out a long sigh, "I can't blame you for this matter, the new monarch's enthronement ceremony is not only a matter of the Ministry of Rites, but also the cabinet!" As the leader, the old man is to blame. ”

At the mention of the cabinet, Mao Cheng's heart moved slightly.

Frankly speaking, with his thoughts, he still wanted to die, but the problem was that Liang Chu retreated first.

Of course, Liang Ge Lao is also for the good of the Ministry of Rites, and he doesn't want to make it too difficult for him, so he can't take revenge, right? Thinking of this, Mao Cheng's head lowered even deeper.

There was another suffocating silence, Yang Tinghe suddenly turned his head, looked at his son, and muttered, "What do you think?" ”

Yang Shen hurriedly said: "Father, looking at the current situation, the new monarch insists on using the gift of the Son of Heaven to enter the succession. If the cabinet is blindly opposed, it has not yet ascended the throne. It is really unwise to cause the relationship between the monarch and the minister to break down. The child thought that it was better to agree to Your Majesty, ascend the throne as soon as possible, issue an edict, and settle the hearts of the people in the world, this is the most important thing! ”

"What?"

Zhang Heling suddenly screamed, "Yang Shen! What are you doing? "This guy seems to be crazy, with teeth and claws, and a cannibalistic expression.

Mao Cheng saw it in his eyes, and his heart became more and more disdainful.

Zhang Heling followed him to Anlu to welcome Zhu Houxi into Beijing.

Along the way, Mao Cheng has already felt the thoughts of the two dynasties clearly.

If the ministers advocate that Zhu Houxi succeed to Zhu Youzhang, the filial piety, there are feelings for the monarch and the minister, there is the direction of the court, and there are various considerations.

Then when it comes to Zhang Heling, things are relatively simple.

His sister married Zhu Youzhang, and the two respected each other like guests, raised their eyebrows, and staged a monogamous drama, needless to say how good the relationship between husband and wife is.

Because of this, Zhang Heling relied on the protection of her sister and lived in style for two dynasties.

From Hongji to Zhengde, for more than 30 years, no matter what he does, he doesn't have to worry.

But now that the times have changed, Zhu Houxi has nothing to do with him, and he will not get used to him.

Zhang Heling felt that the sky had fallen, and the only way to save his life was to promote Zhu Houxi to succeed Xiaozong, then his sister was still the queen mother, and he was still the uncle of the country.

Not only is the past not to blame, but it can continue to be chic.

After figuring out the relationship here, it is not difficult to understand the reason why he danced so happily.

Mao Cheng was polite to Yang Tinghe, but he didn't care about Zhang Heling.

Someone should really clean them up with such arrogant relatives!

Thinking of this, Mao Cheng even felt that it was not so unforgivable to let Zhu Houxi be an upright son of heaven...... Of course, the thought is just a flash, Xiaozong's father still has to admit it, as for the rest, everything is negotiable.

"Shou Ninghou, you have caused the disaster yourself, and you still have the face to blame others? If you weren't stupid, would you need the Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to wipe your ass for you? If what you have done is spread out, the local officials, the government and the opposition will not let you go! ”

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth, so angry that his facial features were distorted.

"Mao Cheng! You're putting all the fault on me now, are you planning to let the new monarch enter the city with the gift of the Son of Heaven? ”

Mao Cheng's face turned pale, and he snorted, "The new monarch is on the outskirts of Beijing, as a courtier, can he keep the monarch's father out?" Or, if you want to learn from Huo Guang, you can't control the Son of Heaven? ”

Mao Cheng couldn't scare Wang Yue, but it was enough to clean up Zhang Heling, and a few words made him speechless, watching him gasp for breath, Mao Cheng couldn't say how comfortable he was.

A breath of resentment, finally came out.

Zhang Heling's eyes rolled wildly, and he couldn't make sense with Mao Cheng, so he had to find Yang Tinghe.

"Shousuke-sama, don't forget, how did you promise my sister in the first place? It's only been a month, and you've forgotten? Yang Tinghe, is this your character? ”

Zhang Heling's words are close to a showdown.

It turned out that when Zhengde died, Yang Tinghe was by his side, and it was not only Yang Tinghe who could get close to the Son of Heaven, the reason why he was able to control the overall situation was, of course, inseparable from the help of the Queen Mother.

reciprocated the favor, Yang Tinghe promised to find a good son for the Empress Dowager Zhang, but no one expected that Zhu Houxi's kid was not easy to fiddle with.

Yang Tinghe took a deep breath and slowly got up.

He is not tall, but he has been in the cabinet for a long time, and he has been raising hope for more than ten years, so that this old man is as powerful as Mount Tai, and under the gaze, Zhang Heling retreated again and again.

"Ge Lao, Zhang didn't mean to force it, my brother-in-law worked hard, and there was Hongzhi Zhongxing. You can't let him have no heirs and become a dead family, right? ”

It turns out that this thing can also speak human words...... Yang Tinghe's anger was reluctantly suppressed, and he said with a dark face: "The old man is by no means a man of his word, Emperor Xiaozong, but a rare saint after my Great Ming Renxuan. All up and down the court, all of them are grateful for the kindness of filial piety. As a courtier, the old man dare not forget it. As for the new monarch's accession to the throne, the old man has his own opinions, Shou Ninghou, you can retreat! ”

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Elder Ge, did you promise to enter the city as a prince?" ”

Yang Tinghe strained his face, raised his head instantly, and his sharp gaze penetrated Zhang Heling, this guy only felt a chill on his back, and shuddered.

"I, I'm leaving!"

The guy turned his head and ran away.

Yang Tinghe looked at Zhang Heling's back meaningfully, and then sat down again, as if he was even more tired and helpless than just now.

"Master Mao, just do what your Ministry of Rites wants!"

Mao Cheng was overjoyed that he could finally escape.

"Thank you for your understanding, the next official will do it!"
