At noon the next day, there was a surging crowd outside the noon gate. The people who came to watch www.biquge.info were crowded with water. Jiang Bin, a generation of ministers, was lit with sky lanterns, and his three sons were beheaded, but his women were all beheaded. The scene was bloody, and the air smelled of blood. But the people were extremely excited, they hadn't seen such a bloody and relieving scene for a long time. The court finally killed people again, and there were so many killings in one go, and almost all of them were women.

Jiang Bin used to be so majestic, he was the person the emperor said to him! But he ended up like this. It is said that it is because it wants to rebel, alas! This matter in the court is often unclear. However, people like Jiang Bin should indeed be killed if they are arrogant and domineering.

If he dies, there will be one less big scourge in the capital, and the world will be stable for a few years.

But now there is no emperor in the court, I don't know when the new emperor will ascend the throne?

The things that the common people cared about were naturally more concerned by the courtiers. On the afternoon of the day when Jiang Bin was disposed of, Empress Dowager Zhang summoned a group of old ministers to discuss the future emperor in Kunning Palace.

The people present this time were no different from the people who discussed the disposal of Jiang Bin. It's just that a new person has been added, that is, Qin Li, the fourth official of the imperial court, who is still with the name of the prefect of Hejian.

Qin Li sat at the end, looking like an old monk in a settled state.

I have been an official for a few days, and although I owe some heat in the officialdom, I am also decent.

At this time, Qin Li really felt the extremely hateful gaze that everyone looked at him. The eyes of those old ministers were like sharp swords, eager to penetrate Qin Li's posture. Qin Li secretly said in his heart, damn it, didn't the little master just sit at the bottom? What is all the fuss you guys are about. Is it not permissible for you to sit on it, but not for you? Discussing the affairs of the future emperor, isn't the master qualified to participate?

It is true that the master is just a four-grade petty official, but the petty official also has rights and is the most dignified. This is not allowed by the Queen Mother, if it is allowed, the master must suggest that such a council should increase the number of people. All the officials in the capital should be called. The imperial court should be a place of collective wisdom. How good it would be to consult the majority of people, to engage in democracy, and then to have the queen concentrate on it.

The Queen Mother was sitting at the top, she hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to say, "Queen Mother, today's deliberation should be the question of the selection of the new emperor, this should be a major event in our dynasty, right?" ”

"Yes, it is the matter of the selection of the new emperor, this matter has been delayed for a long time, and it should be decided. What's the matter, Lord Wang, could it be that you have already chosen someone in your heart? The Queen Mother asked.

"No, Queen Mother, the old minister said that since such a major event should be summed up by my courtiers, but the old minister found that there was an unruly person sitting here! As the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, the old minister is involved in etiquette, so the old minister is about to say it. Lao Wang Qiong frowned and said coldly.

Boom! This old guy obviously fired directly at Qin Li. Last time, he made a lot of shame because of the handling of Jiang Bin. He put all his grievances on Qin Li, and finally had a chance at this time.

As soon as Wang Qiong's words fell, Lu Wan, the secretary of the military department, also said, "What Lord Wang said just now is very true, Qin Li shouldn't be here. This time the discussion was about the major affairs of the imperial court, and what kind of system did a small four-rank official become here. Queen Mother, the old minister dared to propose to let him out! ”

This old guy and Wang Qiong were not originally a faction, but last time because of the handling of Jiang Bin, the two had a quarrel like fire and water, and they went toe-for-tat. But at this time, he was surprisingly consistent in his treatment of Qin Li.

Subsequently, several old ministers also expressed their opinions. They all disagreed with Qin Li's presence.

Qin Li sat there without moving. I secretly thought in my heart, the master is really unlucky, the master is just sitting here quietly, did he provoke you? You're all shooting at me in unison. Hum! It's really a bunch of old people, and it's useless to start today's deliberations before they start. Alas! There is such a group of old stubborn and unreasonable people in the Ming court, and it is really difficult for this court to improve.

In fact, among the courtiers, there are really people who are not so tired of Qin Li. They thought that Qin Li's presence was understandable, after all, Qin Li had made a great contribution to Jiang Bin's rebellion. These people are Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xia Yan, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Huan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

But they are all old foxes in officialdom, and they definitely can't speak at this time. You must know that if you really say it, you will directly offend a large number of people. After all, in their opinion, Qin Li's presence was not so important.

Although Yang Tinghe is Qin Li's father-in-law, he is partial to Qin Li in his heart. But at this time, he couldn't speak. You must know that he is the head of the cabinet, and everything must be fair and just, and there can be no selfishness. Hehe! Even if there is selfishness, it must be hidden very deeply, so that no one can see it.

If he really supported Qin Li and opposed everyone at this time, then his position as Yang Tinghe would probably be in jeopardy today.

The voices of the old ministers became louder and louder, which made Empress Dowager Zhang frown. What to do? Could it be that Qin Li was driven out like this? You must know that Qin Li is a person she values very much. Moreover, the relationship between Qin Li and that person is also extraordinary, without him present, I am afraid that the matter of the new emperor is really difficult to decide.

But if Qin Li is not allowed to go out, what should the courtiers do? Seeing that their posture was obviously in the presence of Qin Li, they categorically did not discuss the trend. Alas! The government, this is the government, there are a lot of things, and if you don't think about it at all, there will be chaos. It's no wonder that my dead son, Emperor Zhengde, hates these old ministers so much, and hates the government so much.

For a while, Empress Dowager Zhang was still undecided after thinking about it, and she was in a dilemma.

At this moment, Qin Li stood up abruptly, straightened his chest and said, "Adults, pause first, and listen to the last two sentences of the lower officials."

Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember that during the palace rebellion, everyone had no idea and panicked? Do you still remember that Jiang Bin was in the house, but we couldn't do anything to arrest him? Do you still remember the 50,000 foreign armies outside the capital?

Now I would like to ask you, who has settled all this? All this is my Qin Li. Hum! I wonder where you were at that time?

Now you need to discuss things, but you are talking about useless things, all without taking into account the presence of the Queen Mother, is there only you in this Ming court?

Qin Li said this, he didn't have the idea of inviting merit at all, he just wanted to tell everyone that the imperial court is everyone's court and the people's court, in fact, everyone can participate in the selection of the new emperor. ”

What the? Everyone can participate, is this Qin Li talking crazy, and for a while, everyone was even more chaotic. (To be continued.) )
