Chapter XII
Wei Zhongxian's words undoubtedly increased the confidence of the eunuch party members, but Wei Zhongxian's second half of the sentence shocked the entire court and also pushed the entire eunuch group into the abyss. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sun Chengzong supervised the construction of the Liaodong defense line in his early years, if the court said that anyone knew the situation in Liaodong, it was not Sun Chengzong alone, the old slave thought that in the whole world, only Sun Chengzong could take on the big responsibility, the old slave had no doubts, and the emperor was sage."
As soon as Wei Zhongxian said this, there was a dead silence in the Taihe Palace, and even Sun Chengzong was shocked, why would Wei Zhongxian support him so much.
Cui Chengxiu, Xu Xianchun and others couldn't believe what they heard.
Zhu Youzhen smiled heartily: "Gonggong Wei is so well aware of righteousness, no wonder the first emperor relied on trust so much."
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youzhen singing and harmonizing, people who don't know the government still think that the two are political allies, but people with insights understand that Wei Zhongxian is a powerful minister of the previous dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen is the emperor of the new dynasty, this relationship makes it impossible for them to come together, Wei Zhongxian can only choose to retire peacefully, and Zhu Youzhen also has to choose a new minister to assist him in governing the country.
In fact, in this case, rebellion has become a road for the ministers, but throughout the 276 years of the Ming Dynasty, I have seen the rebellion of the ministers, no, this is all because of the political and military reform of the two emperors of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, it is with this state system, the Wanli Emperor has not been in court for more than ten years, and most of the rights of the country are still in his hands.
Even if he changes dynasties, Wei Zhongxian is unlikely to rebel, the reason is simple and ridiculous, because he is a eunuch, how to sit in the world, and who will rebel with him, so peaceful retreat has become Wei Zhongxian's biggest political intention at this time, he wants to retreat and land safely, and the Danshu iron coupon is the first weapon he wants to fight for.
"Cui Shangshu, do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Youzhen looked at Cui Chengxiu and said.
Cui Chengxiu lowered his head and said softly, "The minister obeys the order." “
Zhu Youzhen stood up, walked to Wang Tiqian, took a holy decree from Wang Tiqian's hand, slowly descended the stairs, and slowly approached Sun Chengzong: "My Liaodong will be handed over to Sun Jingluo." As he spoke, he handed it to Sun Chengzong with both hands.
Sun Chengzong was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor is so favored, the old minister will never give up." Sun Chengzong, who said these words, had tears in his eyes.
It can't be said that Sun Chengzong is in the state of a little woman, just because the emperor of the feudal dynasty is as noble as a god, and he is of course flattered to be so courteous to himself at this time.
"Master Sun, hurry up." ‘
Sun Chengzong stood up, took the holy decree with both hands, and said angrily: "Ministers Sun Chengzong has the decree." “
Zhu Youzhen smiled lightly, then turned around and looked at Wang Tiqian, Wang Tiqian understood, and hurriedly handed over another holy decree.
The holy decree came into the hands of Zhu Youzhen.
"This will is not under me, it is under my imperial brother, the first emperor, Gonggong Wei, you come to recite it." Zhu Youzhen had no scruples about taking the deceased Emperor of the Apocalypse as a tool for his lies.
Wei Zhongxian knew that what he wanted most was in Zhu Youzhen's hands, and slowly walked towards Zhu Youzhen, when he walked to Zhu Youzhen's side, Wei Zhongxian actually found that his body was trembling, Wei Zhongxian used the Hakka clan to get close to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and relied on the favor of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to reach the peak of power, he was thinking about how to come down so that he could be safe and sound, and Zhu Youzhen actually said that he would give him the Danshu Iron Coupon, whether it was the meaning of the Emperor of the Apocalypse or the meaning of Zhu Youzhen, it was a holy decree, and he thought that there was no difference, so I didn't care about what Zhu Youzhen said, but this was just Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, when Zhu Youzhen was castrated in the future, it can be said that when the Emperor of the Apocalypse returned to heaven, he was delirious and was used by Wei Zhongxian to make a will, and he didn't even need any fig leaf, saying that Wei Zhongxian tampered with the holy decree, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not have this will at all, and then found one or two little eunuchs to testify, at that time, the Danshu iron coupon became a piece of scrap iron.
But Wei Zhongxian didn't think about it, and what he felt most needed was the Danshu Iron Coupon that the emperor personally recognized as having legal significance.
Wei Zhongxian took the holy decree from Zhu Youzhen's hand, and after opening the holy decree, he saw that the words inside became tight.
Zhu Youzhen patted Wei Zhongxian's palm and said, "Father-in-law Wei, announce the decree." After saying that, he turned around and walked slowly towards the dragon chair.
When Zhu Youzhen turned around and slowly walked towards the dragon chair, Wei Zhongxian began to announce the decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Zhongxian for the country and the people, do his best, wholeheartedly assist me to govern the world, hard work, when I return to the sky, lest Zhongxian be framed by the villain, specially issued a will, give Zhongxian Danshu iron coupon, Qin this. The 22nd day of the eighth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse. “
After reading the holy decree, Wei Zhongxian knelt down and cried: "Emperor Xian, you treat the old slave so well, how can the old slave repay, in the next life, the old slave will still serve the emperor, and he has repaid the kindness of this world." “
This holy decree shocked the eunuchs, did the first emperor have this will? Father-in-law Wei knew about this, why didn't he give everyone a breath beforehand, the cracks between the eunuchs were getting bigger and bigger.
As soon as the decree was announced, a civil official fell to his knees and said loudly: "Absolutely not, Emperor." ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at this civil official and said, "Why not." "There are hundreds of civil and military people in this Manchu Dynasty, and this civil official is still standing in the last column, he should be the head of the idle yamen with no real power, so Zhu Youzhen doesn't know what the name of this person is, and after the promulgation of the holy decree, he dares to come forward to stop it, this courage is not something that ordinary civil servants can do, so that Zhu Youzhen also looks down on this civil official, but Zhu Youzhen will not violate his political transactions for this official.
"Your Majesty, give the ministers Danshu iron coupons, appalling, laughing through the ages, the first emperor is a virtuous king, can't let him bear this infamy, and Gonggong Wei is dedicated to the country, of course he will not receive the decree and drag down the first emperor." This Wenchen was quite shrewd, and said that everything was a defense of the previous emperor.
Wei Zhongxian's eyes looked directly at this civil official, and he wanted to spit this civil official into his stomach.
The members of the eunuch party were all stunned, and Xu Xianchun was the first to react.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if it is the will of the first emperor, it must be obeyed, otherwise how should the people of the world view the emperor?" Xu Xianchun came out of the queue and went toe-for-tat with the nameless little official.
Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly: "All the Aiqing are dedicated to the country, I am deeply grateful, but the will of the first emperor has to be obeyed, otherwise where is the law of the country, the Duke of Wei will receive the decree." “
Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "The old slave commands." ”
The civil servant retreated, his heart full of frustration. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a little pity when he looked at the expression of this civil official, and said, "What is Aiqing's official position?" ”
The civil official raised his head and said listlessly: "The minister's surname is Li Mingshuo, and he is in the position of the capital. ”
"Aiqing is dedicated to thinking about the first emperor, and I am very relieved."
Although Zhu Youzhen had never heard of the name Li Shuo, Zhu Youzhen had always believed that there were talents in the court of the Ming Dynasty, but they were buried by the party struggle.
Sun Chengzong also understood in his heart that no wonder Wei Zhongxian would have a supportive attitude towards his own affairs, it turned out that Zhu Youzhen had a big gift to him, and he understood Zhu Youzhen's painstaking efforts, and was deeply moved, and secretly made up his mind that he would rectify military discipline and return the imperial court to a stable border, so that Zhu Youzhen would have no worries in the future reform.
The two great decrees of the early dynasty made a slight change in the pattern of the imperial court.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Youzhen returned to the palace of nourishing the heart, the first step has been completed, and the second step is to move the military power in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, but at this time, Cui Chengxiu can not be moved, because just let Sun Chengzong take charge of the army, so he will move Cui Chengxiu, I am afraid that Wei Zhongxian will be forced to hurry, and after thinking about it, I can only start from the three major battalions of the Beijing Division.
During the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gathered the country's elite soldiers and Nanjing, and set up three major battalions, and after the Battle of Jingyan, the Ming Dynasty moved from Nanjing to Beijing, and Zhu Di created a new three battalions of the Beijing Division, but the Ming Dynasty implemented the two-capital system, so the three battalions of Nanjing were not banned.
During the Hongwu Yongle period, the three battalions of the Beijing Division made great achievements and were quite brave, but after the change of the civil fort, the three battalions were no longer what they used to be.
