As the words of the crown prince Zhu and Yu fell, all the monarchs and ministers in the Imperial Palace were shocked, and it suddenly caused countless undercurrents to surge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among them, the hundred officials naturally rejected it in their hearts, thinking that the proposal of the crown prince Zhu and Yu broke the rules, crossed the bottom line, and violated the rights and interests of the hundred officials, but because of the mutual attacks of the various parties, Emperor Deqing just became angry, and also made the parties and officials feel that they were at the bottom of the first, so they did not immediately refute it, but quietly waited for Emperor Deqing to show his attitude, if Emperor Deqing also expressed his support for Zhu Heyu's point of view, it would not be too late for them to oppose it.

On the other hand, Emperor Deqing was overjoyed, and he only felt that Zhu Heyu had finally done the right thing on the right occasion and at the right time, which could be said to be in his own hands. If the proposal of the crown prince Zhu Heyu can be passed, even if it cannot form a convention, it will be enough for the Deqing Emperor's plan to intervene in the cabinet to be successfully completed.

In addition, the timing and way of the crown prince Zhu and Yu's statement are also very ingenious, just when the officials did something wrong and Emperor Deqing's momentum gained the upper hand, and also linked the conflict domain of the officials with the vacancy in the cabinet, so that the officials lost the moral high ground, so that Emperor Deqing wanted to take the opportunity to change the "court push" to "special Jane", which was undoubtedly more confident, and the odds of winning also increased by a few points.

Therefore, Emperor Deqing naturally will not let go of this opportunity!

However, Emperor Deqing also knew that if he bluntly expressed his support for the idea of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, then even if the officials were at a loss, they would inevitably rebound fiercely, after all, the way the cabinet was decided involved in the distribution of interests between the monarch and the ministers, and the officials were afraid of the Deqing Emperor, and then there was endless infighting, at this time they would definitely unite and rebel angrily, and at that time, even the Deqing Emperor would be difficult to resist the collective will of the officials on his own.

For Emperor Deqing, the most important thing at this time was not to hurriedly express his support, but to fight steadily and create momentum, so that the reasons for "Tejian" would be more abundant, so that the officials would lose the basis for opposition, and further increase the chance of victory.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen glanced at the crown prince Zhu Heyu thoughtfully.

The actions of the crown prince Zhu and Yu can be described as a clever move, which is not only to curry favor with Emperor Deqing and reconsolidate the holy family; At the same time, it also struck at the major factions in the DPRK and China, and made several powerful ministers suffer dumb losses; And by the way, reinvigorated the 'Prince. The party's momentum can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

However, the scheming wisdom of the crown prince Zhu and Yu is just ordinary, even if he can think of such a clever strategy, the timing will not be so accurate.

So, Zhao Junchen's mind flashed Zhao Shancai's figure.

I'm afraid that the performance of Prince Zhu and Yu today is all from Zhao Shancai's suggestion.

"This Zhao Shancai, really a talented and glamorous person, although he is young, but his mental vision is probably not inferior to the scheming Zhou Shangjing too much, he was able to guess in advance that I would have a fierce conflict with the 'Zhou Party' today, and also deduced the chaotic situation in the court this morning, and made targeted arrangements, and came up with such a wonderful move, which is really amazing...... It seems that Zhao Shancai is already in the 'Prince. The party's internal footing has also straightened out the 'prince'. party's context, so he was finally unwilling to be lonely, and began to gradually actively perform and play a role...... From now on, the 'Prince, who was already showing a declining trend. I am afraid that the party will become a big problem for the henchmen......"

While thinking in secret, Zhao Junchen subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhou Shangjing, wanting to spy on Zhou Shangjing's thoughts.

Previously, the "Zhao Party" and the "Zhou Party" fought endlessly because of their respective interests, but now with the proposal of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, the possibility of Emperor Deqing intervening in the cabinet has greatly increased, and the two parties have a common opponent, and their positions will quietly change, and perhaps they will join forces temporarily.

Above the temple, the mutual transformation of enemies and allies is sometimes so sudden.

After turning his head to look, Zhao Junchen found that Zhou Shangjing was also looking at himself at this time, his eyes were meaningful, and his expression was still unfathomable.

After noticing Zhao Junchen's inquiring gaze, Zhou Shangjing seemed to have guessed Zhao Junchen's thoughts, but he didn't say anything, but just changed back to his low-key appearance with his head down and his eyebrows.

Seeing Zhou Shangjing's performance, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly.

In this way, when the monarchs and ministers were thinking differently, Emperor Deqing turned around and returned to the throne, but his face was still expressionless, and he just slowly asked the crown prince Zhu Heyu: "Change 'Tingtui' to 'Tejian'?" You said it easily, but the law of 'court push' is a common practice of the imperial court, and it has also been followed by the emperors of previous dynasties. ”

Emperor Deqing's inquiry was not to question the proposal of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but to uphold the idea of "the truth is more and more debated", and wanted to use the answer of the crown prince Zhu and Yu to destroy the opposition of the hundred officials in advance.

If the objections that the officials could think of were all refuted in advance by the crown prince Zhu and Yu, then if the officials wanted to oppose the proposal of the prince Zhu and Yu, the momentum would naturally be much lower.

Of course, although Emperor Deqing's performance today surprised Emperor Deqing, Emperor Deqing still didn't dare to have much hope for Prince Zhu Heyu, and he didn't think that Prince Zhu Heyu could answer his questions perfectly and block the mouths of the officials.

According to Emperor Deqing's idea, asking the crown prince Zhu Heyu is just the beginning, if the crown prince Zhu Heyu's answer is not perfect and there are loopholes, then Emperor Deqing will naturally let the officials of the "imperial party" supplement it.

However, the performance of the crown prince Zhu and Yu surprised Emperor Deqing again, and Emperor Deqing was impressed by him for a while.

I saw that after the crown prince Zhu Heyu heard Emperor Deqing's inquiry, he seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and did not think too much about it, and immediately replied: "Father, deciding on the candidates for the auxiliary government of the cabinet by the method of 'court push' is certainly the practice of our dynasty for nearly a hundred years, but it is only for nearly a hundred years!" Until then, the 'extra-simplified' method was the only way to decide on the choice of cabinet assistants! Therefore, Erchen does not think that the 'special simplification' method is against the practice of the imperial court! In fact, during the reign of the former emperor, he also used the 'special simplification' method to decide on cabinet candidates, if the former emperor could do this, why couldn't his father? ”

After a pause, Prince Zhu Heyu continued: "What's more, whether it is the method of 'court push' or the method of 'special simplification', it is just a way to decide the candidates for the auxiliary government of the cabinet. In the end, it depends on which method is more suitable for the situation at that time, rather than stubbornly following conventions! Nowadays, the method of 'court push' to decide the cabinet auxiliary candidates, resulting in hundreds of officials attacking each other, the temple situation is extremely chaotic, if it continues, it will undoubtedly affect the overall situation, in this case, it is more appropriate to decide the cabinet candidates with the method of 'special simplification'! ”

Hearing the answer of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Emperor Deqing's eyes flashed with surprise again.

Undoubtedly, Prince Zhu and Yu's answer was perfect, and people couldn't find flaws.

In this way, Emperor Deqing's dissatisfaction with the crown prince Zhu and Yu in recent times has suddenly dissipated a lot, and he only feels that after the prince Zhu and Yu have undergone training, the growth is still very significant, and he will still be able to become a qualified emperor in the future.

Under the change of thought, Emperor Deqing's eyes flashed with relief, and his attitude towards the crown prince Zhu Heyu was much gentler, and he said slowly: "However, if I decide on the candidates for the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet independently, I am afraid that many ministers will be dissatisfied in their hearts......

The crown prince Zhu Heyu sneered: "Father is too worried, you are a generation of holy monarchs, your decision is naturally correct, as for some ministers will be unconvinced, I am afraid that it is also selfish!" What's more, even if the cabinet auxiliary candidates are elected by the method of 'court push', there will still be many ministers who are not convinced, so the ministers do not think that this is a reason to oppose the 'special simplification'! ”

In this way, Emperor Deqing and the crown prince Zhu Heyu sang and harmonized, constantly improving the rationality of the "special simplified" law, and blocked the opposition of the hundred officials in advance.

However, at this time, several powerful ministers who were qualified to interrupt the dialogue between Emperor Deqing and the crown prince Zhu and Yu were all silent - Zhao Junchen was still low-key, Zhou Shangjing was still introverted and unpredictable, Cheng Yuandao himself was a hardcore supporter of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, and as for the first assistant Shen Changmao, he was essentially a fierce and introverted person, he did not dare to fight against Zhou Shangjing alone, and naturally he did not dare to oppose Emperor Deqing first, even if Emperor Deqing had not clearly expressed his attitude now.

According to Shen Changmao's thoughts, Zhou Shangjing will definitely be the first to oppose it at this time, and then he will follow the trend and express his position, but he will never want to be this up-and-coming bird.

It's a pity that although Shen Changmao is unwilling to be a bird, Emperor Deqing doesn't think so.

I saw that after Emperor Deqing asked the crown prince Zhu Heyu a few more words, he still didn't make a clear statement, but just turned his head to Shen Changmao and asked: "Shen Shoufu, you are the leader of the hundred officials and the head of the cabinet, I also want to know your thoughts, what do you think of the prince's proposal?" ”

After hearing Emperor Deqing's inquiry, Shen Changmao's heart was full of helplessness.

However, Shen Changmao also knows that as the leader of the hundred officials, he must fight for the interests of the hundred officials at this time, and he must not give up the decision on the cabinet to Emperor Deqing.

So, Shen Changmao replied stubbornly: "Your Majesty, for His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal, the old minister does not dare to agree!" ”
