The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

After the queen mother queen mother entered the Ming Palace, the nine relatives and dignitaries who were waiting in the Dongnuan Pavilion heard the "click" sound of stepping on the gold bricks at the bottom of the "flower pot" outside the door, very hurried, unusual - since the Xinyou year "hanging the curtain to listen to the government", when the queen mother of the two palaces "ascended", no matter how urgent the situation is, no matter how important the matter is, it is also a step by step, calmly, never heard such a hasty footsteps.

A group of relatives and nobles were already nervous, but now, their hearts clenched even tighter.

The curtain opened, and the Queen Mother entered.

Nine relatives and nobles, standing with their heads bowed, their heads and necks not moving slightly, but their eyes can be turned - this really can't control themselves. Among them, the sharp-eyed ones have been seen, and the pale face of the Queen Mother and Queen Mother is flushed, and it seems to be ...... Still stained with tears?

As soon as she sat down, the Queen Mother asked repeatedly, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Compared with the heavy and rich court clothes, the filial piety robe is simple and pure, and it seems to be a little bit of a child, so the rapid rise and fall of the towering chest of the queen mother and queen mother has also fallen into the eyes of the relatives and important ministers.

I really didn't dare to look at this more, and the nine relatives and dignitaries knelt down and saluted, "Bow to the Queen Mother Jin An." ”

"Alright, alright!" Ci'an said in a tone of rare impatience, "Don't make such a fuss! Tell me what's going on? ”

The "false ceremony" must be "troubled", but after the "false ceremony", no one spoke, because everyone, especially several large military aircraft, discovered an extremely embarrassing thing: Prince Xuan was not present, and I don't know which one would be the first to answer the question of the queen mother.

The military plane "called", and the "above" made some inquiries, and if they did not name them, the military aircraft foreman must be the first to reply. However, in this case, either there is a "referral" from the military aircraft foreman, or a conversation has already been made, and the middle involves the affairs that a certain military aircraft minister should be in charge of, and the military aircraft minister can "overstep" the reply under the hint of the military aircraft foreman.

Anyway, there is absolutely no reason for the first question to be answered by the Minister of Military Aircraft other than the military aircraft foreman.

The ranking of the big military aircraft, after Guan Zhuofan, went to Wenxiang, but this "ranking" is only an "unspoken rule", and there is no legal effect, not to mention, it is not the military aircraft "called" now, and Wenxiang himself does not know, should he answer the "inquiry" of the queen mother?

"Why don't you speak?" Ci'an didn't realize the problem of ranking and order, "The eunuch came over and said that at the meeting of the king's ministers, Guan Zhuofan and the seventh master quarreled, and then ...... Just pick a pick! I...... I'm dying! What the hell is going on? ”

Some people muttered in their hearts: The description of the queen mother and queen mother is not like ...... Sing a double reed.

"It's strange - why don't you speak? Want to kill me? ”

Wen Xiang gritted his teeth and was about to speak, when the Queen Mother "named": "Wen Xiang, you say!" ”

Including Wen Xiang, the nine pro-noble ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.

"After returning to the queen mother," Wen Xiang said, "It's not Prince Xuan and the King of Alcohol County who quarrel, it's the King of Alcohol County who is in trouble—"

After a pause, "King Alcohol said that if you follow the example of the emperor of the 'small sect and the great sect' - he will not object to Princess Rong'an's succession and heir......"

Speaking of which, he stopped and waited for the Queen Mother to "digest".

Sure enough, the Queen Mother didn't react for a while: "'The small sect succeeds the big sect'...... The emperor's own father? What is that? ”

"After returning to the queen mother," Wen Xiang said, "if the 'small sect succeeds the big sect', the emperor's biological father is not allowed to interfere in politics." ”

"Oh......"

Although "Oh ......", the Queen Mother still couldn't react: "This, what is the matter with Guan Zhuofan?" Isn't he the ......'Emperor's biological father'? ”

"After returning to the queen mother," Wen Xiang said, "King Alcohol said that if Princess Rong'an succeeds to the throne, Prince Xuan will be ...... The emperor's 'own husband', therefore, must imitate the emperor's 'biological father' of the 'small sect to succeed the big sect'. ”

Ci'an was stunned: "'Benfu'? 'Biological father'...... Uh, these two, do they have anything to do with it? ”

"Queen Mother and Queen Mother Shengming!" Wen Xiang said, "It's really irrelevant." At the meeting, Bao Ting had already analyzed it very clearly - Princess Rong'an is the daughter of Emperor Wen Zongxian, and she is the daughter of the 'Great Sect', she inherits the throne and heir, not the 'Small Sect into the Great Sect', so it cannot be imitated as 'the small sect enters the big sect'. ”

"Isn't that it? The seventh master said this, but it was a bit ridiculous......"

I don't know if the Queen Mother wants to say "ridiculous" or "ridiculous"? Anyway, the word behind "waste" was swallowed back in time.

After a pause, Ci'an asked, "Is this why Guan Zhuofan?" ……”

"Yes."

"Whew!" Ci'an shook his head, looking disapproving, "Can you do it?" ”

"Prince Xuan is in a place of suspicion," Wen Xiang said, "and he is also worried and ridiculed...... It's hard. ”

Ci'an was silent.

After a while, she said resolutely, "No! Gotta call him back! ”

"Yes!"

Ci'an slowly glanced at the group of relatives and dignitaries kneeling on the ground, and said, "What else do you think about this matter?" ”

Cao Yuying coughed lightly and said, "After returning to the queen mother, the queen mother has something to say." ”

"You say."

"The minister thinks," Cao Yuying said, "The fallacy of the king of the alcohol county is not only that Princess Rong'an will succeed to the throne and heir, and arbitrarily attach it to the 'small sect into the big sect', in fact, he has completely misunderstood the original meaning of the system of 'the small sect enters the big sect, and the emperor's biological father cannot interfere in politics'. ”

"Oh?" Ci'an's eyes lit up, "Tell me, why did he make a mistake?" ”

"Queen Mother, please think about it," Cao Yuying said, "'Small Sect Succeeds Great Sect', what was the Emperor's 'biological father' doing?" or, as in the previous dynasty, in its feudal country; Or, like this dynasty, live in the capital - in short, not in the government, let alone in the center! ”

After a pause, "When the heir emperor succeeds to the unification and practices Zuo, he must be the center to win people, and the upper and lower levels are in their own positions, if the system of 'the emperor's biological father cannot interfere in politics' is not established, and he can interfere in the government, then, with his special identity, the government that originally operated well, will not be completely chaotic?" ”

"Right...... That's the reason. ”

"If you 'interfere in politics', you will be 'in political chaos'," Cao Yuying said, "and this is called 'chaotic government'!" Therefore, we can't help but take precautions and set a system of 'small sects succeeding big sects, and the emperor's biological father cannot interfere in politics'! ”

After a pause, "However, if the emperor's 'husband', Prince Ruxuan, was originally in the government, originally in the center, and originally in charge of the center, then what is the difference between the emperor and before and after the practice?" ——Before the emperor practiced Zuo, Prince Xuan was in charge of the center, and after the emperor practiced Zuo, Prince Xuan was still in charge of the center, as before-how to 'interfere in politics'? What is the 'political turmoil'? What is the 'chaotic government'? ”

"That's right!"

The eyes of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother shone brightly.

"The minister thinks," Cao Yuying said, "If you really do what the king of alcohol says, it will be 'political chaos', and it will be called 'chaotic government'!" - The leader of the cardinal, the inexplicable change of people, the government that used to work so well, is completely disrupted, will it not be 'political chaos'? Doing this is not 'chaotic government', what is it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ci'an's whole face was glowing, and she looked at Cao Yuying with great appreciation: "Cao Yuying said it too thoroughly, it's just such a reason!" ——Forcing Guan Zhuofan to pick a son is 'chaotic government'! ”

The rest of the relatives and noble ministers, including Wen Xiang, also admired Cao Yuying, and after saying that, they not only "washed" Prince Xuan cleanly, but also poured dirty water on the head of King Alcohol County - "chaotic government", what a scary hat is this?

"Just a few of you," Ci'an said, "After kneeling, go to the north street of Chaonei, and tell Guan Zhuofan to come back quickly, and stop making trouble!" - Uh, the last sentence, tell him, I said it! ”

"How many of you" - the nine relatives and dignitaries present were naturally counted, so everyone replied together: "Yes, the ministers will obey the decree." ”

"The minister thinks," Cao Yuying said, "Since the matter has come out, there is still a 'bright hair', and a few people are stable, and they can't afford to peck at rumors." ”

"It's natural," said Tzu An, "that the truth must be made clear—especially what you just said, and it must be explained!" ”

"Yes!"

Wen Xiang remembered something and said: "After returning to the queen mother, the queen mother, the king of Zhongjun has something to say, and he wants the ministers to play on his behalf." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"King Zhong Jun said that he thought, 'Prince Xuan is the pillar of the country, the hope of the government and the opposition, and the cardinal affairs are of the utmost importance, and he pleads with the queen mother and the queen mother to give him a gentle lecture and tell him to cancel his leave and enter the straight as soon as possible.'" ”

Ci'an couldn't help laughing: "The eighth master is young, and his brain is more refreshing than the seventh master!" ”

After a pause, "I think, this meaning of the eighth master can also be described in the will." ”

"Yes, the ministers will obey the decree."

The queen mother's praise of King Zhong is equivalent to praising Wen Xiang, because everyone has heard it with their own ears, and King Zhong's "this meaning" is actually Wen Xiang's knife.

"The minister also has something to say!"

These words are full of energy, but they are from the wise king.

"Say it."

"The minister thinks," King Rui said loudly, "Prince Xuan is not only the 'hope of the government and the opposition', but also the 'hope of the clan'!" ”

After a slight pause, "The clan Jueluo, up and down, far and near, all think that Prince Xuan is the leader of the Yi family and the model of the Eight Banners!" ”

The hope of the clan, the leader of the family, the model of the Eight Banners - hey, this high hat, one after another!

"Renshou's words are in Li'er-" The Queen Mother and Queen Mother were overjoyed, "Prince Zhuang and Boyan, what do you two say?" ”

King Zhuang and King Bo hurriedly said: "Yes, the ministers also take Prince Rui's words as true!" ”

The eyes of the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager turned to Zhu Fengbiao and Rui Chang again.

Zhu Fengbiao panicked: What do you mean? The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother don't want me to say that Prince Xuan is ...... "Hope of Shilin", right? Uh, Prince Xuan hasn't even gone to school, so will it be a little too late? If it is spread out, will it be laughed at?

Zhu Fengbiao, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, was silent, and Rui Chang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, had no choice but to "Yueji" and said: "The minister has something to say. ”

"Say it."

"The minister thinks," Rui Chang said, "the national economy and the people's livelihood, diplomatic compromises, of course, Prince Xuan is indispensable; Will raise scholars, cultivate culture, and also serve Rice people! Therefore, uh, King Zhong Jun is right, 'cardinal affairs are of the utmost importance', and Prince Xuan should not leave for a while. ”

It would be more appropriate to say so, Guan Zhuofan naturally can't be said to be the "hope of Shilin", but he has indeed done a lot of things in "raising scholars and cultivating literary spirit".

For example, for the sake of scholars, the establishment of a "normal hall" to educate normal talents is a typical example of civilization and education, and it is really "to raise scholars and cultivate literary spirit". Moreover, the 1,050,000 taels of silver spent on the establishment of the "Normal Hall" were all obtained from the "dowry auction" of Princess Rong'an and Princess Dunrou, so the scholars were not only favored by Prince Xuan, but also by Prince Xuan's blessing and Jinhui - a lot! That's a lot!

In addition, the "clan bank" is a low-interest loan for Han, Zhan, Ke, and Dao, which can be regarded as another form of "raising scholars and cultivating culture".

Even, the previous abolition of the eunuch reprimand system can barely be classified into this category.

Zhu Fengbiao was very remorseful: If he was so decent, why didn't he think about it? If you are misunderstood by the Queen Mother, it will not be good!

So, Scholar Zhu hurriedly said: "Rui often says that it is true, the Queen Mother of Fu beggars!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded again and again: "Good, good, good!" ”

After a pause, "Okay, that's it, these words-what Renshou said, Rui often said, can be described into Yizhi, try to describe it!" Well, let's see! ”

"Yes!"

A group of relatives and dignitaries knelt down and withdrew.

The four ministers of military aircraft returned to the military aircraft department to write the decree; The three princes and two scholars sat and waited in the Jiuqing duty room in Jingyun Gate - when the decree came down, the nine people would gather and go to the north street of Chaonei together to do the messenger who passed the decree and persuaded Prince Xuan to "cancel the fake and enter the value".

This edict, the main author, is still Cao Yuying.

"Zhuo Ru," Wen Xiang said in a consultative tone, "Do you think this is good?" Where is Taiping Lake...... It's better not to point fingers directly - if you can, don't name them! Otherwise, I'm worried about ......"

His words were not exhaustive, but the other three major military planes can be implicitly said: Otherwise, I am worried about intensifying the contradictions and adding chaos to chaos.

Cao Yuying had the intention to take advantage of this opportunity to put a hat of "chaotic government" on King Alcohol, so that he could no longer jump up and down, attack Guan Zhuofan, and oppose Princess Rong'an's succession. However, he also admitted that it is not yet time to completely defeat the alcohol king, and if the heat is insufficient, if it is too hasty, it will be cooked into raw rice.

In addition, Wen Xiang's opinion cannot be disrespected-Wen Xiang has just been won over, and he is very reluctant, and he can't force him back.

"But," it was Xu Gengshen who spoke, "the words have to be said thoroughly." ”

"Yes," Guo Songtao also said, "The Queen Mother and Queen Mother have explained, and the truth has to be stated in the will." ”

Wen Xiang was silent.

"Bo Gong," Cao Yuying said, "Do you think this will work?" Anything that involves Taiping Lake will be 'or cloud', how? ”

After a pause, "Anyone with a heart can be acquiesced, and they will not directly lose the face of Taiping Lake." ”

"Okay," Wen Xiang finally nodded, "Brilliant and clever!" ”
