Chapter 41 The mastermind behind the scenes is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
The news spread quickly, and all the resignations handed in by the nobles were approved by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the news instantly shook the court. This is the first time Zhu Houzhao has shown his toughness in front of his courtiers. This approach caused an uproar among many courtiers, including many civil officials, and some even began to worry.
Although everyone also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the legacy of Taizong, it was just a sycophant and praising His Royal Highness the Prince's martial arts.
In fact, no official hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has the legacy of Taizong, or that he is really like Emperor Taizong. You must know that everyone's favorite emperor is not Emperor Taizong, although everyone is praising Emperor Taizong, but I really think from the heart, not many people want to return to the era of Emperor Taizong.
You must know that although the most ruthless killer under the Ming Dynasty is Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong is not far behind, and the punishment of the ten clans is what Emperor Taizong did. When Emperor Taizong, Jinyiwei was popular, and Jinyiwei commanded Ji Gang, that was really a heavenly eagle dog, how many people did he kill? Civil officials would want to go back to that era if they are stupid.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is strong, it suddenly makes people have a bad premonition, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really want to be like Emperor Taizong or Emperor Taizu? How did you live those days?
In the current officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, receiving and giving gifts has become a common practice, and everyone doesn't think there is any problem, and corruption is not a big problem, but really back to that time, how do you live that day? Many people have even begun to worry about this problem, and the controversy about the staff office in the court seems to have been poured cold water on their heads.
Cabinet duty room.
It has been a while since the news reached here, and the three cabinet scholars have not spoken for a long time, even if the sea has been up and down for decades, the three of them are still a little confused about the situation in front of them. Although the three of them came from the Chenghua period, and there was also Wang Zhi during the Chenghua period, it is completely different from now, the emperor and the emperor personally ended up with the eunuch by the hand of the eunuch, which is completely different things.
Although it was not the emperor who ended up this time, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he was the only son of the Ming Emperor and the only successor of the Ming Dynasty, which was no different from the emperor himself.
"Looks like it's certain now!" After a long time, Li Dongyang spoke on the side, his tone was very low, and he sighed lightly and said: "Everyone underestimated our Royal Highness the Prince, and the person behind Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, can finally be determined, in fact, it is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
In fact, the speculation about this matter has not stopped in the past few years, and the three of them have long suspected the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, but there is no way to be sure.
Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang, sighed lightly and said: "This is indeed the case, three years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expanded the Black Dragon Army, although we have not checked, but we have also roughly calculated, relying on the silver taels allocated by the imperial court is absolutely not enough, it has always been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is adding money to it, and His Royal Highness the Prince's money should come from Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning." ”
"And Strange Fast!" Liu Jian, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, also spoke at this time, his face was calm, and his voice was also very serious: "The person behind the strange Zhai should also be His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The three of them were silent again, and after a while, Xie Qian slowly spoke: "Actually, we should have expected it a long time ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been quite full of government since the Beijing camp review that year, and the Beijing camp is erosive, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode a horse and walked away in a bad mood, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything at that time, and we thought that the matter would be over." ”
"Now it seems that not only has it not passed, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to revive the Beijing camp, and after so many years of forbearance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally attacked the Beijing camp."
"One more point!" Li Dongyang opened his mouth again and said: "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing this to suppress the Marquis of Shouning!" ”
Although Li Dongyang didn't say anything further, the other two people are not rookies in officialdom, so they naturally know what twists and turns are hidden here. In recent years, the strength of Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, has grown very strongly, the nobles support him, and at the same time, there are many people on the civilian side who have fallen to him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is estimated to be unable to stand it, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood up, and he must have this idea.
"What are we supposed to do?" After a while, Liu Jian, a scholar of the first assistant university of the cabinet, raised his head and looked at the two people, and then asked.
Zhu Youzhu is not an emperor who likes to play with power, so for so many years, the cabinet has been very stable, and there has been no political struggle between the three of them, unlike the Jiajing Dynasty, the cabinet is a battlefield, so the relationship between the three people is very harmonious, big and small things can also be discussed, and they can also maintain the same attitude towards the outside world.
After listening to Liu Jian's words, Xie Qian spoke first, and said with a little hesitation: "Maybe Your Majesty will change his mind?" ”
After listening to Xie Qian's words, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang didn't talk, they understood what Xie Qian meant, that is, His Majesty took back his life, so they didn't have to choose one of the two. Although there will be a reputation for inaction, which will slightly damage some reputation, it is also within the acceptable range, but Li Dongyang and Liu Jian both feel that it is unlikely.
Seeing the reaction of the two people, Xie Qian also smiled self-deprecatingly: "Your Majesty may also be waiting for us to make a statement!" ”
The three of them were silent at once, in fact, the three of them were afraid of this, if His Majesty was also waiting for the three of them to make a statement, but the three of them have not done anything, then what does Your Majesty think? Do you feel that the three of you are not faithful enough? But at this time, what about the reputation of the three of them?
The so-called to Jun Yao Shun, that is a virtuous minister, who has been working all his life, and has fallen into the name of a traitor, this is a late festival is not guaranteed!
None of the three of them spoke, and no one wanted to be the first bird, so the three of them fell silent again.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youzhu listened to He Neng's report, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After all, I am still young, I can't hold my breath!" After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhu continued: "But it's almost there, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for what I want!" Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhu laughed at himself slightly, although he knew that there was little hope, but he still had a little expectation in his heart.
That's right, Zhu Youzhu is looking forward to the reaction of the three cabinet scholars, even if they don't clearly express their support, they just take out the process of setting up the staff office, that's okay, but until now, there is still no news from the cabinet, obviously the three of them are not ready to express their position, and they want to drag it out, how can Zhu Youzhu not be disappointed.
You must know that these three people are all raised by themselves, and they are trustworthy enough to them, at this moment, Zhu Youzhu was in a complicated mood, and handed a copy of the fold to He Neng, Zhu Youzhu ordered: "Send it to the cabinet!" ”
