Chapter 745: The Dispute Between the Two Palaces
Seeing that the old Shoufu opened his mouth to stop it, Li Tingji frowned, looked scared, and turned his head to Zhu Geng and pretended to be angry.
"How can Elder Zhu Ge be like this? The old man has already made it clear that this matter is just a rumor, and there are too many to do, and all the ministers can testify, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, how can he slander the king because he does not know whether it is true or false! ”
Li Tingji's look of annoyance and anger made Zhu Geng even more sure that he had caught their sore spots, and he retorted.
"When it comes to the crown prince's country, how can you take it lightly? The old things of the former emperor are vividly remembered, if it were not for the courtiers in the early years did not notice, how could there be such a situation in the dispute over the country, now we are entrusted by the emperor, assisted by the present, His Majesty first ascended to the great treasure, it is inevitable that there is no observance, we are speaking directly, it is the duty of the ministers, if this rumor is not true, it can also clear the suspicion for the present, block the courtiers' mouths, if it is the truth, we should try our best to prevent it, in order to ensure that the righteousness is not lost! ”
Seeing that these two people began to quarrel again, Wang Xijue's face sank, and he was about to speak, but at this time, Zhen Zhenji spoke one step ahead of him.
"Zhu Ge said this, forgive the old man for disagreeing! It is important to take precautions, but this matter has not yet been understood, we rashly admonish, I am afraid that it will make the heart of the present unhappy, we are all the former emperor's former ministers, when we know that the former emperor of the country did not necessarily have to appoint the four princes as the crown prince at first, but the ministers repeatedly admonished, so that the former emperor was bored, only to become more and more intense, so that the monarch and the ministers lost harmony, the previous car and the lesson was in front, how could we repeat the mistakes of the past? Taking a step back, even if the worst happens, after the two mothers give birth to the prince, the situation will be clear, Your Majesty really has the intention of abolishing the establishment, and it is not too late for us to give advice again! ”
Li Tingji glanced at Zhen Zhenji in some surprise, and for a while he couldn't understand the brain circuit of this second assistant.
When he was in the cabinet just now, he thought that Zhenji would be on their side, after all, he had the qualifications of science and technology, and in the face of this kind of science and technology chaos, he should also be deeply touched, and the first knife in Ye Xianggao's recital was to rectify science and technology.
But Zhen Zhenji didn't, he still did the same as usual, he didn't stand there, and chose to remain neutral, although this neutral attitude is actually beneficial to him in a sense, but this ambiguous attitude is an indisputable fact.
So when he spoke just now, he didn't expect that Zhen Zhenji would stand up and refute Zhu Geng, this second assistant has been extremely low-key since he joined the cabinet, and most of the time he has a neutral attitude.
What does he mean by jumping out now?
Showing favor to yourself and others?
So why didn't he say it when he was in the cabinet just now?
You know, even if he stands in line now, he will offend the Zhejiang Party, and the effect is not as good as the effect of standing in line directly in the cabinet just now, what is he trying to do this?
All kinds of doubts popped up in Li Ge Lao's heart, but it did not affect his judgment, since the second assistant was willing to come to help him, Li Ge Lao naturally took it unceremoniously, and followed Zhen Zhen Ji Dao.
"What the second assistant said is reasonable, wait until the two mothers give birth to the emperor's heir, and then it is not too late to make a conclusion, not to mention that the old man sees, the two pavilion elders are inevitably a little alarmist, and the current situation is not the same as the time of the first emperor, the first emperor, the reason why there is a heart of abomination, is because Concubine Gong is not favored, and the Zheng family is extremely favored, plus the young at the time, was framed by the Zheng family, so that the first emperor is very disgusted with the present, so there is a dispute over the country, but now the crown princess and the present couple have a deep affection, raise their eyebrows, His Majesty indulges Li Niangniang, and he will not cause the Zheng family again, Zhu Ge wants to provoke this matter, I'm afraid he has bad intentions, right? ”
Zhen Zhenji's sudden statement was obviously something that Zhu Geng did not expect, but after being stunned for a moment, Li Tingji saw the needle and said such a large paragraph, and he was suddenly depressed, but he couldn't have a seizure.
However, at this time, Shen Li hesitated, as if he had made up his mind, and finally spoke.
"What Elder Li Ge said is not unreasonable, but since this matter is mentioned, the old man has news here, I am afraid that it will make Elder Li Ge change his mind......"
Shen Li's words hesitated, but a trace of cunning on his face couldn't hide from Li Tingji's eyes, and he laughed secretly in his heart at the moment, but his face was not revealing anything, and he frowned.
"Shen Ge has something to say, please say it, don't hide it!"
"The old man heard about this matter from Feng Qi Feng Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and said that he had not established the queen mother for a long time until now, but in fact, it was not because of what Li Ge Lao said, but because there was another hidden ......."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Shen Li took a breath lightly and said in a low voice.
This sentence alone made everyone's eyes solemn, if what Li Tingji said was just a rumor from the mouth of a eunuch, and there was no evidence, then the news that Shen Li said was obviously extremely credible.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is one of the six departments and seven secretaries, since the words came out of Feng Qi's mouth, then I am afraid there will be no falsehood.
"Speaking of which, in fact, when Feng Qi entered the palace that day to ask for the canonization of the queen, he prepared the canonization ceremony of the queen mother of the two palaces, respecting the first emperor and queen as the queen mother of Yici, living in Cining Palace, respecting the birth mother of the princess Gongfei Wang as the queen mother, living in Ciqing Palace, but after seeing it today, he was very dissatisfied, and his biological mother Gongfei Wang had the grace of raising her life today, and she made great contributions to the community, and wanted to imitate the old things of the first emperor, and went to the two palaces to honor the title, with Concubine Gong Niangniang living in Cining Palace, and the queen living in Cining Palace!"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Li's mouth, and he spoke softly.
"How can this work? At the time of the first emperor, the lord Shaoguo doubted that the Empress Dowager was not in the government, and the Empress Dowager had to be shocked by the court situation and deal with affairs, so she made an exception with the two palace emblems, and now His Majesty has long been an adult, since he should follow the ancestral system, respect his biological mother as the queen mother, and put the emblem on his mother, how can it be the same as the old things of the first emperor? ”
As soon as Shen Li's words fell, Wang Xijue spoke.
At that time, he was already a hall official of the six ministries, and naturally he was very clear about the joints of this matter, the original queen mother of the two palaces was respected, in fact, it violated the ancestral system, the Ming dynasty is different, the front and side are distinct, according to the rules, the queen mother can only be respected as the queen mother, and cannot be on the emblem, and the honor is the power that the queen has when she is respected as the queen mother.
But the situation was special at that time, what Wang Xijue said for a while, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and the Empress Dowager Li needed to come forward to administer the government, so he had to increase the status of the Empress Dowager Li, and another point was that Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant at that time, tried his best to support this matter, and finally tried his best to exclude public opinion and respect the two palaces, but now the situation is very different from the beginning, how can he follow the rules?
