Compared with the emperor's anger, Yang Chengzu was very calm, he only smiled, "Long live, you are too excited." The minister will change the cup for you, and then talk slowly, why did Banzai lose his temper so much, and how did Yang Xindu bully Banzai? You issued a holy decree, and the minister helped you to catch him, and then hit the three hundred boards first. ”

Zhu Houxi hated and hated: "These bastards, they are three-year-old naughty boys, don't you know how to be powerful?" Look at this! As he spoke, he handed over the ceremonial certificate, Yang Chengzu read the ceremonial certificate seriously, and then showed righteous indignation, as if he was more angry than the emperor.

"It's not like words, it's just too bad words. This is to live the throne as the crown prince, and this throne has become the inheritance of the filial piety temple, this is not possible, absolutely not! ”

When Yuan Zonggao arrived, Zhu Houxi was still in anger, this Wen Yiwu was the right-hand man in his heart, and this kind of important matter could only be discussed with them. After reading the etiquette, Yuan Zonggao was equally angry.

"Nonsense, this is nonsense! Yang Shizhai is also a Jinshi in Chenghua for 14 years, and he is full of economy and is familiar with etiquette, how could he make such a mistake? Clearly deliberate, they ...... They deceive people so much! ”

Speaking of this, it is not difficult to understand, for the civil official group headed by Yang Tinghe, the Ming Jun who they really recognize in their hearts is still the son of filial piety. Zhengde has nothing to do, if Zhu Houxi is the successor of the son of King Xing, then the line of Hongzhi Tianzi will be considered extinct. For Chinese people who pay attention to incense, they can't help but feel that good people are not rewarded, and it is difficult to accept it.

Let Zhu Houxi succeed as the crown prince, that is, respect the son of Hongzhi as his father, so that this Ming monarch will not be extinct, and the incense will still continue. More importantly, the cabinet will be able to let the new monarch follow the example of Hongzhi Tianzi and follow his example, and be a ruler who rules vertically. The Ming Dynasty may be able to usher in a good era of the Zhongzheng Dynasty, and the country will be prosperous, just around the corner.

In the final analysis, the development of the Ming Dynasty has shown a trend of struggle between ministers and monarchs. However, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is relatively stable, and this kind of struggle still depends on whether the emperor is strong enough, whether he has skills, whether he has enough basic plates and many other aspects.

is like Zhengde, just because he is really strong enough, and these ministers can't do anything about him. For them, it is enough to have such an emperor, and the new monarch must no longer be like Zhengde.

Yuan Zonggao has a lot of experience, and he understands very well that as a Wenchen, his position should be to support Yang Tinghe in principle. However, since he has clearly branded himself as an Anlu system, he still has to consider the monarch he assists, and there is no room for concession on this kind of principle.

"The edict ordered Banzai to succeed to the emperor's throne, not to order Banzai to be the crown prince, Yang Tinghe and others on the ceremonial form, no. Long live entering the palace tomorrow, when entering from the Chengtian Gate, living in the Qianqing Palace. We do not recognize this liturgy. ”

Yuan Zonggao, as an excellent civil official, wrote this kind of thing, which is simply handy. It didn't take long to write a strict palindrome, call the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were waiting here, and hand over the palindrome. At this time, it was already dark, and I was afraid that I would not be able to reply until dawn. Considering the efficiency of the Ming government, it is estimated that it will not be possible to reply to the letter until noon tomorrow at the earliest.

Zhu Houxi instructed: "Come on, tell them to make a Panlong dish, I want to have dinner with Yuan Changshi and Yang Yi." He hated again: "I want to see what kind of answer Yang Tinghe will give me." ”

Jingshi, the cabinet room is brightly lit, although it is late, but there is no meaning of rest here. Since Zhengde's death, the entire imperial court has undergone a huge change, whether it is to take Jiang Bin or expel the four foreign armies, any thing is extremely dangerous, and if one is not careful, it may lead to the danger of the entire country falling into the danger of overturning. Yang Tinghe dispatched in the middle and handled these major events in a stable manner, and the effort spent was huge, needless to say, and the credit he made should not be erased.

And with the death of the emperor, the movements of the local vassal kings, and the actions of the Mongols outside the Guanwai, none of them can relax. The large-scale movement of the border army did stimulate the nerves of the Mongols, and Gunbilik Khan did seem to have an attempt to use force against the Ming Dynasty. How to resist the Mongol invasion, how to raise money and food, and mobilize troops so that the imperial court would not suffer too much loss. There are too many important things in the court, and the entire cabinet and even the courtiers of the six ministries are actually not having an easy time.

However, Yang Tinghe obviously enjoyed the pleasure of being busy, and in the cabinet, there were more than a dozen exquisite dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the silver pot contained the imperial wine of the palace. Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, and Jiang Mian had just had dinner, and they were sipping ginseng tea, closing their eyes and recuperating.

The Cabinet must be sacred and solemn to outsiders, but in fact, it is also a place of office. Since everyone has been staying in the cabinet office for the past few days, the supporting services have to keep up, otherwise how can they contribute to the country and save the people from fire and water?

Yang Tinghe closed his eyes and said softly: "That etiquette, they actually sent it back, it seems that this new monarch is a person with a temper." Could it be that Benge has mistaken him? ”

"Shi Zhaigong, I'm too worried. Young people, willfulness is always inevitable, and he has Yuan Zhongde and others around him as think tanks, and he can see our arrangement. is unwilling to inherit the incense of the filial piety temple, so it is normal to have a temper, if you don't make a fuss, it is actually not interesting. ”

"That's right, everyone can only understand if he makes trouble. Who will have the final say in the future of this Ming Dynasty! Since the first emperor ascended the throne, the cabinet has been suppressed for too long, and finally when it is time for us to raise our eyebrows, let people know from this matter that from today on, the Ming Dynasty will be the world of the Son of Heaven and the scholars, not the world of the Son of Heaven alone. However, in the future, the Son of Heaven will grow older and his authority will become heavier, and Wei Zhi will not be afraid of the Heavenly Family's grudge? ”

"Reading the books of the sages, you have to be heroic, and plan for the society of the country, why do you regret this body?" Mao Ji held the silver hair on his chest with his hand, with a resolute look. Jiang Mian was silent, but in terms of attitude, he obviously supported Yang Tinghe.

"This is exactly what I want, and that's what the old man meant." Yang Tinghe ordered his entourage to call in the official who sent him back and took the cabinet's approval

"You tell the prince of Xingwang that this ceremonial statement is the result of several days of discussion between the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, and not a word can be changed. If he doesn't agree with the above content, don't go to Beijing first. After everyone has talked about etiquette, it is not too late to enter Beijing. ”

Mao Ji said: "Let's also see who is from Anlu in the court, even if it is from Huguang." Let him go over and bring a message to this prince, he is not the only vassal king in the world, let him think twice when he encounters something, and he must not make a mistake. ”
