To what extent should this national capital struggle go?

This question seems to be meaningless, after all, the purpose of the country-based dispute has always been to uphold the country's foundation and establish the prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Based on this common goal, the ministers of all factions pointed the finger at the emperor, and raised their own cries with the same voice.

But in fact, this question is certainly meaningful, and it is one that they must consider as cabinet assistants!

The status of the cabinet is between the emperor and the courtiers, and its main role is to reconcile internal and external frictions.

Therefore, they must think about how to find a balance between the struggle for the national capital and the operation of the court.

The current situation is that the emperor's attitude is still obvious, and the concubine in the harem is still there, so the emperor loves the house and Wuxia, and insists on making the third prince Zhu Changxun the crown prince.

However, this is contrary to the requirements of the law of etiquette, and even a violation of the patriarchal system, so it is impossible for the ministers to accept it.

It is precisely because of this that the dispute over the country's capital has arisen!

And this is simply an irreconcilable contradiction, which will never disappear unless one side makes concessions, but the problem is that neither side can make concessions.

So in fact, the attitude of the monarch and the ministers towards this matter is basically the same, and it will not cause too much conflict, at least it will not affect the normal operation of the imperial court.

After all, Emperor Sejong's Great Rites Discussion has not been too young, and many people still remember it vividly, and the degree of contradiction in this Great Rites Discussion is the same as today.

However, the influence and scope were far greater than the current struggle for the national capital, and although Emperor Sejong finally defeated the Munchen group, he also paid a heavy price.

Both the courtiers and the emperor devoted all their energy to the Great Rites Discussion, and the government was piled up, and the state apparatus almost stopped functioning, and it was not fully restored until the time of the first emperor.

As for the aftermath of all kinds of ministers, there are simply countless troubles, and the famous Qingzi Prime Minister is also a product of that time, and the wind of party struggle in the Ming Dynasty also began at that time.

There are lessons learned from the previous car, and the dispute over the country has been maintained within a controllable range, such as the last time the "three kings were crowned" provoked the cabinet to refute the emperor's will, which was already a great event in the Wanli Dynasty.

But during the Great Rites Meeting, it was just a common thing!

So in this case, the question that was raised earlier has a point of careful consideration.

Yes, the battle for the national capital is wanted, but do you want to fight to the death with the emperor? Is it necessary to fight the emperor to the death?

To what extent can the battle over the national capital be stopped this time? What if I can't reach it?

These are all questions for them to consider.

Of course, as cabinet assistants, their every move affects countless forces, and they must have their own answers in their hearts, but this does not prevent them from listening to other people's thoughts.

Disputes with the emperor are inevitable, so the internal opinions of the Wenchen must be unified first, even if it is difficult to unify, but at least the attitude of everyone must be clear.

The Zhejiang Party has always been based on promoting the emperor's eldest son to ascend to the throne, so Zhu Geng was the first to stand up and said.

"Yuanfu, this time is different from the past, the eldest son of the emperor is no longer a child in the deep palace, he has been in the domain for more than a year, and the ruling party is at ease, and all his colleagues in Jinling City are also praising His Royal Highness King Shou, the old man thinks that he should take advantage of this east wind to go up to His Majesty, please ask the eldest son of the emperor to be in the East Palace!"

These words are not wrong, the situation today is very different from a year ago, although His Royal Highness King Shou has a lot of nonsense in Nanzhi, but these people who are as old as the cabinet will not see that behind these nonsense moves, is Zhu Changluo's means to turn the clouds and rain.

Thinking about it carefully, in a short period of time, he can get the praise of Jinling City, how can he be an ignorant child?

What's more, this itself is a qualification and accumulation, if the original courtiers supported Zhu Changluo just because of his status, then now in this position, there is a little more recognition in it.

Therefore, Zhu Geng advocated taking advantage of this good opportunity to directly send Zhu Changluo to the position of prince.

"No, it's too hasty!"

What no one expected was that it was Shen Yiyi, who belonged to the Zhejiang Party at the same time as Zhu Geng, who spoke out!

In the latter's incredulous gaze, Shen Cheng pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.

"Ziqin, don't forget, Your Majesty just restored Concubine Zheng's position as the noble concubine last month, what does this mean, I think everyone present must know it! His Majesty still loves Concubine Zheng Niangniang, and if he wants to push His Royal Highness to the position of prince at this moment, it will definitely make His Majesty angry. ”

Wang Xijue nodded imperceptibly, and what Shen had always said was not unreasonable.

At this juncture, the emperor has restored the identity of Concubine Zheng, which is a signal in itself, if you count the dictation of the above, you can see the emperor's meaning, and his attitude towards the country is still firm, and it is biased towards the side that the courtiers do not want to see.

If he and his courtiers really fought to the death with the emperor, maybe there was really a possibility that the situation would expand.

Of course, it's just a possibility......

"Hmph, this is a bad statement, how has Your Majesty's attitude ever changed? If we are afraid of Your Majesty's attitude and dare not give direct advice, will we not live up to our duty as a minister?

Now that His Royal Highness has gradually grown up, there is no reason to delay the affairs of the country, according to the old man, it is time to concentrate on the country's capital as soon as possible! ”

Needless to say, in this cabinet, Shen has always been so-for-tat, and his words are not disguised at all, except for Shen Li, there will be no one else.

Hehe smiled, and the old man said suspiciously.

"If the old man is not mistaken, a few days ago, Concubine Zheng also gave you a heavy gift!"

Shoulder is Shen Zheng's word, hearing Shen Li's ill-intentioned words, Shen Zheng became angry all of a sudden, and said with a sneer.

"Shen Zhonghua, what do you mean by this, Concubine Zheng's reward is not only given to the old man's family, aren't you also born? What's more, there are also the rewards of His Majesty and the Queen's mother, why don't you mention it?

Now that the court has finally stabilized, His Majesty has promised that the emperor's eldest son will be in the East Palace when he becomes an adult, why are you so anxious? Could it be that you think Your Majesty can't be trusted? ”

Although the credibility of a certain emperor is not very good in this matter, this is a tacit matter that everyone knows and cannot declare.

Zhonghua is Shen Li's character, Shen has always called him so, it seems that he is really anxious, you know, Shen Li's qualifications are older than Shen Li, he relies on the old and sells the old to shout Shoulder Wu is reasonable, but Shen has always called him this is obviously a provocation.

Shen Li's land is also on fire, and when he stands up, he has to fight to the death with Shen Zheng.

"Brother Zhonghua!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Xijue pressed Shen Li back to his seat with a helpless face.

These two people, whenever they discuss politics, they have to stand up to the bull, it's really ......

But in any case, there must always be a conclusion to this matter, to appease Shen Cheng and Shen Li, Wang Xijue pondered for a moment and said.

"Since everyone has different opinions, why don't I wait and test Your Majesty's attitude, if the old man remembers correctly, His Royal Highness is already fifteen years old, and he has the title of prince, it is time to discuss marriage......"
