239 The Qingning Palace on fire

Jia, home also. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info appeased, as much as possible. The people are poor and rich, and they have children.

This is the evaluation of the violent emperor who believed in Taoism at the end of the Jiajing period. But at this time, it was the first year of Jiajing's ascension to the throne and the reform of the Yuan, and after experiencing the absurd rule of the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, the people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty got a respite. The abusive government of the previous dynasty was basically abolished in this year, and the people were in ruins.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Ting and Fushang.

There are a lot of cabinet ministers and six ministers, and they are all there.

"Wei Shui has already been released, and then, Your Majesty's questions, you don't need us old bones to be busy anymore."

As for Wei Shui's release, the cabinet reached an agreement and then operated it, but among them, there are always some people who are more happy to see it happen, and some people are naturally not satisfied with the result of such a compromise. Yang Shen is not a cabinet elder, but he is the eldest son of Yang Tinghe, the first minister, and he is also the first and first Hanlin bachelor, and it is taken for granted to participate in this kind of thing. Among the ministers, the one with the most similar opinion to him is probably Peng Zilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Of course, after Wei Shui was released, such an opinion could only turn into a sour breath. Except for Yang Shen, a Qing Gao scribe who thought he was so young and vigorous that he looked down on Wei Shui everywhere, no one would raise any objections.

"Daddy." After Peng Zilin spit out a sour breath, Yang Shen was unwilling to be lonely and said to Yang Tinghe, "Wei Shui has now lost the protection of the edict and is not prepared, so he should be in the weakest moment. At this time, if we attack him, I want to ......"

"Shut up!" Yang Tinghe rarely lost his temper in front of everyone, but this time, he was really annoyed by Yang Shen. Ignoring Yang Shen's face as a Hanlin Scholar, he reprimanded, "Yang Shen! You think you're smart, don't you? Do you think you don't know what you've done for your father behind your back? Buy murder, you're really out of luck! If you buy a murderer and kill Wei Shui, your father won't say anything. But what about now? Who are you looking for? A group of fools actually found Wei Shui's subordinates! Have you forgotten what your father told you? Well? Who do you think you are? Kill whoever you want? It's simply a loss of face for the courtiers! ”

Seeing that Yang Tinghe was angry, Liang Chu, a scholar of the Ministry of Shangshu and a scholar of the Huagai Palace, hurriedly spoke for Yang Shen, "Shoufu, you don't have to be angry. The idea of using repair (Yang Shen, the word is repaired) is still good, but the way of disposing of it is a little impatient. With a little tempering, over time, I will definitely be able to become the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Yang Tinghe snorted, went down the steps that Liang Chu had built for him, and sighed again and said, "Anyway, in this most difficult time, we have already joined forces to take it down. Next, it is only necessary to let Wei Shui stabilize His Majesty. The Holy Son of Heaven, rule by hanging the arch. The affairs of the court are controlled by those of us who are courtiers, and as the emperor, we don't need to work too hard. ”

Yang Tinghe's sentence is undoubtedly from the beginning of Dayu's creation of the Xia Dynasty to now, in the thousand-year-old feudal era, the confrontation between imperial power and vassal power will only appear at its peak.

In the Ming Dynasty, after the Hu Weiyong case, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the post of prime minister. However, due to the conflict between the imperial power and the ministers, and the need for the emperor to control the hundred officials, the cabinet appeared, and gradually became the mouthpiece of civil officials and the authority of the Ming court.

The significance of the existence of the cabinet is to divide the court officials into several factions, elect commanders and representatives, and several people represent all the ministers to negotiate and solve the major affairs of the court. As for the emperor, the real utility in the court is getting smaller and smaller. Although the courtiers would in most cases value the emperor's opinion, when the emperor was stronger, the cabinet would even become a puppet.

However, now, Zhu Houxi obviously did not grasp the power of the imperial court, and the courtiers clearly had the upper hand in the battle. In this case, the proposal of 'the Son of Heaven, ruling by hanging the arch' undoubtedly has the meaning of putting Zhu Houxi in the air.

"That's ...... I wonder if Wei Shui will agree? Jiang Mian showed a look of embarrassment, Wei Shui was a street gangster after all, and Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, etc., the shadow of the previous dynasty, and the shadow of Yu Chen seemed to be attached to Wei Shui's body.

Mao Ji shook his head and said, "There is no doubt about this. Wei Shui is a person who is very good at judging the situation, it can be said that he is a donkey who is smooth, or he is a wall grass. In this case, as long as you find out his temper, give him what he wants, make him retreat, and even persuade His Majesty to delegate authority, it is definitely not a difficult thing to do. ”

Yang Tinghe agreed, nodded and said, "Indeed, as several people said, after Wei Shui was released from prison, he showed favor to us. Confessed one thing! ”

Thing? Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe smiled but did not speak.

On the fourteenth day of the first month, before the lanterns were on, a fire broke out in Qingning Palace.

Although the fire was controlled in time and did not affect other palaces, Qingning Palace was burned to ruins.

Qingning Palace? Where?

Although there were different uses in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were both very important palaces. However, this place seems to be really evil, and during the two dynasties, it was ignited by fire several times and burned into ruins.

In the Ming Dynasty, before the ceremony, the emperor would often change clothes in the Qingning Palace, and when the empress and crown prince were ordained, the emperor would accept the courtiers' congratulations in this hall.

If there is a fire in such a place, even if there is nothing to do, it will be said, not to mention, in Wei Shui and Yang Tinghe have already passed the qi, this time the fire is not accidental, but man-made. But even if you can find a man-made reason, what can you do? Under the strong oppression of the cabinet and the efforts of the eunuchs who were friendly with Wei Shui to conceal it, even if it was caused by man, it would be judged to be a natural disaster.

"How? Are you all ready? Yang Tinghe was obviously very satisfied with Wei Shui's overtures, it was simply great that such a fire incident happened when it should never have been a fire, "This time, Your Majesty must be forced to die!" ”

That night, the courtiers' memoranda filled Zhu Houxi's study. The courtiers, without exception, all mentioned that the fire in Qingning Palace was caused by the manifestation of the ancestors and the condemnation of the gods, because Zhu Houxi was stubborn and disregarded the etiquette and law, and wanted to give Emperor Xingxian and Queen Xing the title of 'Emperor', which annoyed the heavens.

In the study, Zhu Houxi angrily waved the song fold on the ground, gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "Go, go immediately, please Mr. Wei into the palace!" ”
