Wang Yue questioned with grief and indignation, but Mao Cheng was completely angry.

His voice was full of emotion, "Your Highness, Wang Yue is arrogant and bold, and he actually doesn't take the Son of Filial Piety in his eyes, the crime is extremely evil, and the old minister implores His Highness to punish him severely!" After a pause, he said: "Entering the city with the gift of the prince and inheriting the throne is natural and unchangeable!" ”

It's really domineering, I don't know and think that you Mao Cheng is the emperor!

Wang Yue gritted his teeth and wanted to refute it, but Zhu Houxi suddenly waved his hand and asked him to be silent.

After a pause, Zhu Houxi said lazily: "Wang Shiyu is also asking for me, didn't Mao Butang say it just now, you can take a rest now, then set up camp on the outskirts of the city first, don't rush into Beijing, there are some things that really need to be explained." Zhu Houxi slowly clenched his fists, and his eyes became more and more determined.

……

The procession to greet Xinjun stopped and rested on the outskirts of Beijing.

But everyone knows that this is just a temporary truce, just now between the monarchs and ministers, they have tested each other, and the real war will break out soon.

"Are you afraid?"

Zhu Houxi frowned and asked suddenly.

Wang Yue also smiled, what was he afraid of.

You must know that the opposite is the future Emperor Jiajing!

With his own strength, he has been dealing with the entire civil official group for decades! Every pore, every trace of blood, is full of fighting spirit of the Doudi powerhouse, follow him, do you still need to be afraid?

"I have full confidence in Your Highness!"

Zhu Houxi couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Fugui, you are not honest, you have learned to pat on the back." ”

"It's a dragon's fart, Your Highness is a true dragon emperor!"

This is really a bit of a traitor.

Zhu Houxi laughed first, and was in a good mood.

But soon the gloomy clouds shrouded again, he turned his back to his head, sighed lightly, and then laughed at himself: "Just now, in front of me, Mao Cheng is going to dispose of you, in their eyes, how can I be a genius!" They treated me like a child, like a doll to fiddle with! ”

Wang Yue was shocked, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is Your Highness willing?" ”

"I don't want to!"

"Has Your Highness accepted your fate?"

"Of course not!" Zhu Houxi gritted his teeth and rattled, he stared at Wang Yue, and said word by word: "I don't want to, I don't accept my fate!" I am the son of King Xingxian, and I will never have a second father! Never! ”

Wang Yue took a deep breath, and he felt a heat wave rushing through his veins...... He knew that because of the Great Rites Discussion, historians had a lot of criticism of Zhu Houxi.

felt that he was willful, disregarded the overall situation, and even ungrateful, ruined the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and even explained the defeat of the dynasty, starting from Zhu Houxi......

But does all this have anything to do with the present?

In Wang Yue's eyes, the current Zhu Houxi is just a stubborn young man who insists on the last trace of the bottom, and he is also his only helper, and he can't do it if he wants to sit idly by!

"Fight!" Wang Yue said firmly: "Since you don't want to, then go on!" ”

Zhu Houxi said in a deep voice: "How to fight? Is it just the two of us? ”

Yes, this battle comparison is too disparity, right?

On one side is the son of a vassal king who has no foundation, and on the other side is the important ministers of the court, many of whom are veterans of the three dynasties, veterans of the four dynasties, protégés and former officials, and they are intertwined.

They responded to the call and their prestige was overwhelming.

And Zhu Houxi is their chosen son of heaven, if you don't listen to them, the consequences will be very serious!

With such a huge contrast, even the most tenacious people will despair!

Wang Yue pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Your Highness, in fact, I have been thinking about it these days, we have one of the most important killer features in our hands!" ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "What? ”

"Edict!"

Wang Yue said decisively, he understood the process of the Great Rites Discussion, and naturally knew that the old ministers headed by Yang Tinghe had calculated everything, but there was a little omission, that is, the edict of Zhengde!

Originally, this incident should have been pointed out by the head of the palace, Shi Yuan Zonggao, but Wang Yue didn't find Old Man Yuan along the way, could it be because he crossed over and changed history?

He didn't know for a while, since there was no Yuan Changshi, then he should come forward!

"Edict?" Zhu Houxi was puzzled.

"That's right, it's a testament! I remember that the edict did not let His Royal Highness pass on to Emperor Xiaozong's speech, let alone say that His Royal Highness was the heir to the throne as a prince! Wang Yue said categorically.

Zhu Houxi grinned lightly, "How could there be!" The so-called edict may not have been left by Emperor Daxing, most of them were important ministers of the imperial court, pretending to be the Son of Heaven, promulgating the edict to win people's hearts. Historically, the edicts have been extremely brief. It is precisely because of the brevity that the minister is given room to reinterpret......"

These words were not something that Zhu Houxi could say, but what Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian, told him.

Wang Yue smiled all over his face, "What His Highness said was just that the courtiers could explain wantonly, why can't we chew the words?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houxi was finally shocked!

That's right!

Why should Wenchen do whatever he wants, and he should be beaten passively?

It doesn't make sense at all.

What's more, the edict is his greatest reliance on his ascension to the throne and emperor, so how can he put it aside?

Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi immediately took out the edict and greeted Wang Yue.

"Fugui, come with me and see how we are going to make a fuss!"

……

Just when the two teenagers were painstakingly doing reading comprehension, Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Liang Chu, a university scholar, came together.

At this time, Mao Cheng was simply angry, and all these anger was directed at Wang Yue.

It's all to blame that this kid is so talkative that he dares to question the opinion of the imperial court!

Especially when he mentioned the death of Xiaozong for many years, it touched Mao Cheng's heart.

If it is Emperor Xiaozong, he can live for a few more years, why is the Ming Dynasty in chaos in the world? Did they force Zhu Houxi to be Xiaozong's son for no reason?

No!

Of course not!

They are all for the sake of the country and the world, and for the world of their old Zhu family.

Let Zhu Houxi pass on to Xiaozong and succeed to the throne with the gift of the crown prince, then the situation of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde will be very embarrassing...... To make it clear, with the help of this move, Zhengde can be completely overthrown.

Sweep away the maladministration, get rid of all the eunuchs, and realize the king and the scholars to rule the world together.

After careful calculation, you Zhu Houxi is the one who has the most profits, and we have given you all the thrones, what else do you want?

This time Mao Cheng was aggressive, he had already calculated it, and he had to convince Zhu Houxi that he had to nod. If that Wang Yue still dares to come out and talk more, he will be taken down and disposed of as a traitor!

"Ge Lao, for the sake of the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, you and I will move forward!"

Liang Chu looked solemn and nodded slightly.

The two ministers reached an agreement, went to the imperial tent, and greeted Zhu Houxi.

At this time, Zhu Houxi had just discussed countermeasures with Wang Yue, with a smile on his face, and he was much more confident and calm.

"Elder Liang Ge, Mao Butang, along the way, you are like my teacher, if you have anything to say, just teach me!"

Mao Cheng was the first to speak, going straight to the point, "Your Highness, since ancient times, it is reasonable for the prince to inherit the throne. It is also the most reassuring to people's hearts. The son of filial piety is working hard, and there is Hongzhi Zhongxing. Now that the country is in chaos and the people's livelihood is withering, the people are looking forward to His Royal Highness being able to rectify the society, just like filial piety, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. The ministers thought that if His Royal Highness was allowed to become the prince of filial piety and enter the unification of the heirs, the subjects of the world would definitely return to their hearts, which was the blessing of my Ming Dynasty and the benevolence and filial piety of His Royal Highness. Not only the old ministers, but also the princes of the court and the central government also mean this, and the people of the world have the same thoughts. The minister thinks that His Royal Highness must not be bewitched by the villain and delay the big thing! ”

Speaking of this, his old eyes swept over Wang Yue, who was standing behind Zhu Houxi.

Don't ask, the villain is talking about you!

Wang Yue snorted, and said in his heart that you are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, to put it bluntly, don't you want to hold Zhu Houxi in your hands and protect the interests of the scholars!

Why say it so nicely!

Wang Yue had already entered the battle state, and every hair stood up, just waiting for Zhu Houxi to create a chance for him.

"Mao Shangshu, you think about the country everywhere, I naturally know. Ascending the throne and succeeding to the throne is the biggest thing in the dynasty, and it must not be sloppy at all, it must be done in accordance with the law, and everyone will become a laughing stock. Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "Just now my attendant Wang Yue raised a few questions, he is only a shallow learner, and he is young, he must be talking nonsense, but I believe that Mao Shangshu is still willing to solve his doubts, right?" ”

Zhu Houxi's goods are indeed talented, and he said that every drop of water does not leak, so that Mao Cheng can't agree or not.

Seeing Mao Cheng nodding, Wang Yue immediately said: "Mao Butang, if the kid is not mistaken, the edict of Emperor Daxing said this: I am dying, the heir has not been built, and the eldest son of the emperor has grown up, virtuous, benevolent and filial, and the order of Lun is established. ”

After reciting the edict, Wang Yue said again: "Mao Butang, I don't know if there is a mistake? ”

Mao Cheng said with a dark face: "No, word for word!" ”

Wang Yue smiled, very bright, and patted his forehead.

"In the past, I often made mistakes in my endorsement, but this time it was word-for-word, what a fluke!" He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "In this case, I have read at least three points of experience from the edict, I don't know what Mao Butang thinks?" ”

Without waiting for Mao Cheng to answer, Wang Yue took the initiative to say: "First, the edict admits that His Royal Highness is the son of King Xingxian, not the son of the Son of Heaven. Second, respecting the meaning of the elder brother and the younger brother is not the death of the father and the succession of the son, so entering the city according to the prince's rites does not meet the provisions of the edict. And the third point, and the most important point, is the throne of the heir! His Royal Highness is here to be the emperor, not the prince, right? ”

Wang Yue's sentences were straight to the point, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became.

He has experienced the destruction of reading comprehension for many years, and even the strange light of the fish's eyes can decipher one, two, three, not to mention a not complicated edict.

Don't look at you Mao Cheng is from the top student, in front of the devil who has been trained in exam-oriented education, stand obediently!

"Mao Butang, the kid thinks it's better to do things according to the edict!"

Wang Yue was right.
