Chapter 389: The Queen's Dispute

Regarding this edict of the Wanli Emperor, the civil officials and the nobles among the funeral ministers showed two completely different attitudes, the civil officials opposed it as always, and the nobles expressed their support.

Compared with the civil officials, the nobles really have no reason to oppose Zheng Guifei to be crowned queen, and Zheng Guifei usually takes care of them, and it is the civil official group in the court who opposes the canonization of Zheng Guifei as the queen when Emperor Wanli is alive.

Because the empress of the Wanli Emperor Wang died in April of the 48th year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor knew that he was dying soon, and wanted to take advantage of the time when the queen died of illness to crown Zheng Guifei as the queen, but was opposed by the civil official group, thinking that the new death of the queen was not suitable to canonize the new queen when the queen's body was not cold.

Under the opposition of the civil official group, Emperor Wanli did not insist on appointing Zheng Guifei as the empress, after all, the queen was virtuous and virtuous, and she had been with him for forty-two years, if it was not for the failure to give birth to an heir, there would be no dispute over the country, and he really couldn't be as stubborn as Emperor Xuande.

Therefore, Emperor Wanli wrote the matter of appointing Zheng Guifei as the queen in his edict, and made Zheng Guifei the queen of the Ming Dynasty before the new emperor ascended the throne.

The grievances between the civil official group and Zheng Guifei began with the dispute over the national capital, and the two sides had deep grievances for this, coupled with the relationship between King Fu, so in history, the civil official group did not follow the Wanli Emperor's edict to canonize Zheng Guifei as the empress.

Now that King Fu has come to the capital, it is even more impossible for the civil official group to make Concubine Zheng Guifei the queen.

According to the ancient royal etiquette system, between the son-in-law and the eldest son, the son-in-law was naturally respected, and at that time, King Fu had more reason to replace the prince whose mother was born as a palace maid to become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hongyu naturally knew why the civil official group wanted to stop Emperor Wanli's edict, so he stood behind the crowd and was silent, not wanting to express his opinion.

"Li Hanlin, what do you think of this?" Seeing that the civil officials and Xungui at the scene were arguing endlessly about whether to fulfill this holy decree, Concubine Zheng's eyes fell on Li Hongyu and asked quietly.

Hearing this, everyone at the scene looked at Li Hongyu one after another, wanting to know what his attitude was towards this matter.

"The imperial concubine Niangniang, the food of the monarch bears the worries of the monarch, since the emperor of Daxing has issued an edict, the lower officials have nothing to say." Under the gaze of everyone, Li Hongyu bowed to Concubine Zheng and replied solemnly.

"Nothing to say?" Zheng Guifei's face immediately turned happy when she heard this, if you just listen to this sentence, it seems that Li Hongyu has a neutral attitude, but if you combine it with his previous words, then he has clearly expressed his thoughts, and agrees with the edict of Emperor Wanli to canonize her as the empress.

Fang Congzhe, Zhou Jiamo and other civil officials couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and their faces showed helpless looks, they had actually guessed Li Hongyu's attitude.

If other officials said this kind of thing, then the civil officials on the scene would definitely open their mouths to refute it, but Li Hongyu's situation is too special, Li Hongyu, who was born in the champion, was deeply favored by Emperor Wanli, and he was new to officialdom, it was the time when the blood was strong, so how could he disobey Emperor Wanli's edict?

Fang Congzhe and Zhou Jiamo knew very well that they would definitely not be able to convince Li Hongyu, who had been in the officialdom for less than two years, and the young Li Hongyu was now thinking more about the friendship between monarchs and ministers, and once they refuted it, Li Hongyu would definitely argue, which was not only meaningless but also made Zheng Guifei and the nobles see a joke.

More importantly, this may push Li Hong into the camp of Zheng Guifei and King Fu, but now is a critical period for the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the civil officials have to act cautiously.

Anyway, Li Hongyu has shallow qualifications in the officialdom, and his remarks will not affect the mainstream public opinion of the civilian clique against obeying the edict and canonizing Zheng Guifei as the empress, which is better than angering the young and vigorous Li Hongyu, you must know that the new army is now stationed in Shanhaiguan, and Li Hongyu is the most likely person to mobilize it before the new emperor ascends the throne.

Although Li Hongyu expressed his attitude of abiding by the edict of Emperor Wanli, due to the strong opposition of Fang Congzhe and Zhou Jiamo and other civil officials at the scene, Zheng Guifei could only give up temporarily, after all, the civil official group was the dominant force in the court, and if they did not nod their heads, this canonization ceremony could not be carried out at all.

The reason of the civil officials is very simple, with the great funeral of the Wanli Emperor and the fact that the bones of the queen are not cold, if the canonization of Zheng Guifei at this time violates the law of human ethics and etiquette, they can only refuse the matter.

When this matter spread outside the palace, the officialdom of the capital was immediately boiling, and the civil officials of various factions expressed their opposition to the canonization of Zheng Guifei.

Zhu Changluo soon learned that Li Hongyu supported the canonization of Zheng Guifei as the queen, and they were taken aback, in his opinion, Li Hongyu should refuse, didn't Li Hongyu know that if Zheng Guifei became the queen Zhu Changluo's situation would be even worse, and then King Fu, who became the emperor's concubine, would have the confidence to challenge Zhu Changluo's imperial orthodoxy.

"School, what does Li Hanlin mean by this?" Immediately, Zhu Changluo hurriedly found Zhu Youxiao, frowned and asked, quite dissatisfied with Li Hongyu's support for the canonization of Concubine Zheng Guifei.

"Father, the emperor's grandfather treats Li Hanlin with kindness, how can Li Hanlin disobey the edict of Emperor Daxing?" Zhu Youxiao had a different opinion on this matter, and after pondering for a while, he solemnly said to Zhu Changluo, "Father, the son thinks that if Li Hanlin disobeys the imperial grandfather's edict, it will be a bad thing!" ”

"Xiao'er, do you mean that Li Hanlin just obeyed your imperial grandfather's edict, and did not mean to take refuge in the imperial concubine?" Zhu Changluo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Youxiao's words, if Li Hongyu obeyed the edict of Emperor Wanli, then he would definitely support him to ascend the throne.

"Father, Li Hanlin is the champion of our Ming Dynasty, he is arrogant and has unparalleled integrity, if he really wants to take refuge in the imperial concubine Niangniang and King Fu, how can he wait until now?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded when he heard this, and said to Zhu Changluo in a deep voice, "The imperial concubine Niangniang isolated Qingning Palace from the outside world, and just put this news in, obviously trying to separate the relationship between us and Li Hanlin. ”

"Alas, when is this kind of day a head!"

Zhu Changluo felt that it was reasonable when he heard this, how could Li Hongyu, as the champion of the Ming Dynasty, be able to rise to the top, otherwise how would he gain a foothold in the court in the future? But he can't be happy at all at the moment, this kind of life is really difficult for people to fight for knives and fish for me.

"Father, the emperor's grandfather is far-sighted, and he must have a countermeasure!" Seeing the worry on Zhu Changluo's face, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but comfort him.

"School, do you know anything?"

Zhu Changluo first subconsciously bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and then seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Youxiao suspiciously and asked, he felt that Zhu Youxiao's words seemed to have a confident taste, and it seemed to have another deep meaning.

"Father, it's not a secret, before his death, the imperial grandfather once told his sons that he had left a testament, which will come in handy at a critical moment."

Zhu Youxiao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and saw that there were only Zhu Changluo's cronies and eunuch Wang An at the scene besides him and Zhu Changluo, so he said in a low voice, "Grandpa Huang didn't tell Erchen that the edict was there, nor did he tell Erchen the content of the edict, but just said that someone would come to protect his father at that time." ”

Zhu Youxiao's eyes flickered a little when he spoke, it was obvious that he was not telling the truth, how could Emperor Wanli hide such an important matter, of course he knew the content of the edict and knew whose hands the edict was, but it was inconvenient to say it now.

The reason why Emperor Wanli chose to tell Zhu Youxiao instead of Zhu Changluo was not only because he didn't like Zhu Changluo, but also because Zhu Youxiao, who had been carefully taught by him, was more stable than Zhu Changluo, and the matter of the edict was too huge, and he didn't worry about telling Zhu Changluo.

As a son, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not betray Zhu Changluo, and will definitely help Zhu Changluo ascend the throne, otherwise his status as the emperor's grandson will also go with the wind, plus blood relationship, so he is the most trusted person of Emperor Wanli.

"That's good!" Zhu Changluo didn't doubt Zhu Youxiao, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, with the foresight of Emperor Wanli, there would definitely be a way to deal with the seizure of power by Concubine Zheng and King Fu.

Wang An, who was standing on the side, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhu Youxiao, he didn't believe that Zhu Youxiao didn't know anything about the edict, and he must have hidden something.

Although Wang Anxin had all the doubts, he didn't dare to say to Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Changluo are not only father and son, but also the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty, if he chews his tongue, he will be impatient, and it will be regarded as provoking the father-son relationship between the two sides, which is a big taboo in the palace.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao is also nervous in his heart now, although he knows about the edict, but now he can't help much, only waiting for the edict of Emperor Wanli to be executed.

As a last resort, Zhu Youxiao was reluctant to make the edict public, once he did that, it would mean that the implementation of the edict would be blocked, and he would have to seek help from external forces, and in this way, Concubine Zheng and King Fu would learn about the edict and would definitely do their best to stop it, and the situation would be terrible at that time.

With the official announcement of the Wanli Emperor's canonization of Zheng Guifei as the queen's testament, the battle between the prince and the Fu King officially kicked off.

As soon as Zhang Han and others made these remarks, the officialdom in the capital was in an uproar, and the civil officials who supported the crown prince refuted this absurd remark one after another.

In the face of the refutation of those civil officials, Zhang Han and others were naturally not to be outdone, isn't it just a war of words, the officials who can mix in the capital are basically the masters of the mouth, so they fought back and forth, and the two sides were very happy.

Li Hongyu watched the farce that happened in the court with a cold eye, and now it is still the period of the great funeral of the Wanli Emperor, so how can the Wanli Emperor lying in the coffin be blinded.

However, this is also a reasonable thing, the so-called country can not be without a king for a day, and the coronation ceremony of the new emperor will be held after the great funeral of the Wanli Emperor.

If Concubine Zheng and King Fu couldn't pull Zhu Changluo off the crown prince's position before then, then their hard work would be in vain, so Zhang Han and the others chose to attack the prince at this time.
