Chapter 451: Confusion

When Li Hongyu led the new army to the Wenhua Palace, many civil and military officials who had been summoned to the Wenhua Palace, as well as the attendants and palace maids, gathered in groups of three or five and discussed in a low voice, and the atmosphere was gloomy. lā

Since the main hall of the Wenhua Hall could not accommodate too many people, those lower-ranking officials could only wait outside the hall.

In the crowd, some officials with torn clothes and hats, blue noses and swollen faces appeared quite high-spirited, gathered there and talked with their eyebrows fluttering, in stark contrast to the solemn-looking people around them.

Li Hongyu knew that those people who were not neatly dressed must be the Donglin Party officials who broke into the harem to rob Zhu Youxiao, otherwise they would not have put on a victorious posture at this time.

Thinking of the chaotic scene of the dignified court officials fighting with the chamberlains and palace maids in the harem, Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, where is the prestige of the court officials? It's just Sven sweeping the floor!

In the Wenhua Palace, the ministers, nobles and officials of various ministries gathered together, gathered together and whispered about today's life, and everyone's face showed a look of shock, who would have thought that the Donglin Party would come to such a hand, and it was successful.

In front of the throne of the main hall, the ministers of the orphans bowed down and stood in front of Zhu Youxiao, and expressed their views on the Donglin Party's entry into the palace today.

Fang Congzhe and other auxiliary ministers of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang said that they would punish those who broke into the palace, but for the sake of their single-mindedness, they could be merciful as appropriate, otherwise how could the court etiquette exist?

He Zongyan and Han Yi and other auxiliary ministers of the Donglin Party naturally tried their best to argue for Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others who broke into the palace, thinking that Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were loyal and courageous, and bravely entered the palace regardless of life and death for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's imperial power.

However, Sun Chengzong, who is also the boss of the Donglin Party, unexpectedly fell silent, although he is also a member of the Donglin Party, but he did not agree in advance to break into the harem and frame Empress Li, after all, he has a deep relationship with Emperor Taichang, how can he do something sorry for Emperor Taichang.

But this action is a decision made by several elders of the Donglin Party, and its purpose is to save the Donglin Party from fire and water, so that it will not be suppressed by the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang in the court, so Sun Chengzong can only agree with everyone's opinions, after all, he has to consider the future of the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne with a cold expression, his heart was in turmoil, as a sixteen-year-old son of heaven, his current performance was already excellent, and he did not show panic, this is a big taboo for the king, and it is due to the fact that it is higher than the training of Emperor Wanli in the past.

Zhu Youxiao did not make up his mind about how to deal with Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others, as the supported kings, these people of the Donglin Party were naturally meritorious ministers.

However, if you just let go of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others, how can you convince the public? Where is the national legislation? If others follow suit, won't the world be in chaos?

On the whole, if you use one sentence to evaluate the Donglin Party's invasion of the palace, then it is "although the crime is unforgivable, it is excusable", which is destined to break into the palace The Donglin Party will not be severely punished, and how to grasp the size is the key.

Because he was followed by several new army generals with armor in armor, Li Hongyu immediately attracted the attention of the ministers in the hall after entering the main hall, and they all turned to look at him, which made the hall quiet for a while.

"Minister Li Hongyu knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" After coming to Zhu Youxiao, Li Hongyu solemnly knelt down and saluted, and secretly felt helpless in his heart, but now Zhu Youxiao has not even determined the year name.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Man Gui and other generals who followed behind Li Hongyu knelt behind Li Hongyu one after another, shouting long live.

"Master Li, from now on, the defense of the Forbidden City will be temporarily taken over by the new army!" Seeing Li Hongyu, Zhu Youxiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and felt a lot more steady, and then issued an edict in a deep voice.

It's not that Zhu Youxiao doesn't believe in the pro-army guarding the Forbidden City, it's really that today's life is too shocking, which makes him feel cold down his spine, in case those Donglin Party people are hostile, then he, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, will die in vain.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to rectify the pro-army, before he needed the new army to protect the safety of the Forbidden City, and he really didn't want to have such an unthinkable thing again.

"Obey." Li Hongyu bowed to Zhu Youxiao when he heard this, then stood up and said to Man Gui and the others who were kneeling behind him, "The emperor has an order to take over the defense of the Forbidden City." ”

"The ministers obey." Man Gui and the others kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao, then stood up and left in a hurry, preparing to take over the defense of the Forbidden City.

"Master Li, you are an auxiliary minister appointed by the first emperor, what do you think of today's events?" After Man Gui and the others left, Zhu Youxiao asked Li Hongyu and wanted to hear Li Hongyu's opinion.

Everyone at the scene looked at Li Hongyu when they heard this, don't look at Li Hongyu's shallow qualifications, not as rich as the ministers in the hall, but he is a champion and has made great contributions one after another, plus he is Zhu Youxiao's teacher, so his opinions have a great influence on Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the key point of this matter is whether the person who broke into the palace has the intention of rebellion, and how to enter the Forbidden City, as long as these two points are investigated, then how to deal with it will be easy to do."

Li Hongyu knew that he couldn't hide this time, and like this kind of important government affairs, as Emperor Taichang's Tuogu Auxiliary Minister, he had to show an attitude, so he replied solemnly after pondering for a while.

"Who do you think would be good to look into this case?"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but slightly sneer when he heard this, Li Hongyu hit the nail on the head, no matter how the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties argued, in the final analysis, they still had to thoroughly investigate the matter and give the world an explanation, so he asked.

"This is a royal case, and it will be judged by the emperor!" Li Hongyu bowed down and replied with a serious expression.

Obviously, Li Hongyu does not want to get involved in this palace breaking incident, this matter is too involved, and it is difficult to have the best of both worlds, so at that time, it will definitely not offend the Donglin Party or the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties, this is not the situation he wants to face.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the less Li Hongyu intervenes in the battle above the court, the better, so that he can live a free life in the Customs Department, and those forces in the capital will not notice him.

What is particularly important is that the case of breaking into the palace is different from other cases, it involves the legitimacy of imperial power, and also involves Empress Li, so there is no way to find out at all.

Do you want to go to check on Empress Li with great fanfare? After all, Empress Li has been promoted to the queen mother, what is the legal reason for doing so? What is the face of Daming?

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this case is complicated, and if you want to find out, you need a calm and respectable person to handle it!"

Li Hongyu's voice lagged behind, and Zhao Xin, who was standing in front of the hall, took a step forward and reported to Zhu Youxiao with a serious expression, she naturally knew that Li Hongyu was not suitable to intervene in this case.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Bachelor Zhao is reasonable, if you want to convince everyone in this case, you must use people with rich qualifications." Sun Chengzong hesitated when he heard this, and then said to Zhu Youxiao, quietly and secretly helped Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Sun Chengzong are all Zhu Youxiao's teachers, and they are all from the champion and the list, so they are relatively close to each other.

Although Sun Chengzong is older than Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, he admires these two rising stars very much, especially Li Hongyu, who is both civil and military, and has been highly praised by him.

Sun Chengzong once said to Emperor Wanli and Emperor Taichang that he believed that the young and promising Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were the ministers of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, which shows the importance of the two.

Now, the case of breaking into the palace is complicated, and Sun Chengzong naturally doesn't want Li Hongyu to get involved in this kind of case that is destined to have no result and is very easy to make enemies in the officialdom at a young age.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" At this time, the British public Zhang Weixian had already seen that Li Hongyu did not want to intervene in the case of breaking into the palace, so he stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Immediately after, Wu Guogong and Yong Guogong stood up and expressed their respective views to Zhu Youxiao.

As the only three nobles among the Tuogu auxiliary ministers, Zhang Weixian and the three naturally support Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu is half a military minister no matter how he says it, and the relationship between the two sides is harmonious, of course they have to help Li Hongyu at this time.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Seeing this situation, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, He Zongyan, a cabinet member, and other neutral and Donglin Party auxiliary ministers also bowed down one after another to express their attitude to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhou Jiamo naturally wanted to protect Li Hongyu, while He Zongyan and other auxiliary ministers of the Donglin Party were more jealous of Li Hongyu and did not want Li Hongyu to intervene in this case.

Fang Congzhe, Sun Ruyou and other auxiliary ministers of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties couldn't help but glance at each other secretly when they heard this, and fell into a dilemma for a while:

They are naturally willing to let Li Hongyu investigate this case, but Li Hongyu doesn't seem to be willing to take over, after all, no one wants to become a pawn that merges with the Donglin Party, especially Li Hongyu's interests are not in conflict with the Donglin Party now, I'm afraid the Chu Party is not willing to see Li Hongyu, a rising star, involved in this kind of thankless case.

"All Aiqing is right." Zhu Youxiao glanced around at Zhou Jiamo and the others, and then frowned slightly, and said, "This matter will be decided by the court to elect a highly respected minister to try this case!" ”

Tingtui is the process that must be followed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty to decide some important positions, and its essence is naturally a game between the power of the minister and the monarch.

Zhu Youxiao first ascended to the throne, so it was naturally not suitable to appoint a person to try the case of breaking into the palace, so the best result was to hand it over to the court to make a decision, so that the courtiers could choose a suitable candidate for the trial.

"Obey the order!" The auxiliary ministers standing in front of the palace bowed down one after another when they heard this, and they had to say that Tingtui was the best way to solve this matter.

For this result, there are naturally a few happy and a few sad families among the auxiliary ministers, each with their own hearts.

In fact, this is already a huge victory for the Donglin Party, and it is a very good sign, which means that Zhu Youxiao did not think that the Donglin Party's move to break into the palace was a rebellion, otherwise how could it be tried? directly sent Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others to prison.

As far as the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang are concerned, this is obviously not a result they want to see, but they can't do anything now, after all, the Donglin Party supported Zhu Youxiao after breaking into the palace, which makes the situation very complicated, and they can only work hard when trying the case.
