Chapter 112: Monarchs and Ministers Fight, Thunder in the Palace
“…… Please select generals to train soldiers, pro-gentlemen, far villains, praise loyalty, welcome back the emperor's car, take revenge on the shame, and raise my prestige tomorrow...... Although there is no regret in death...... "As Lao Wang recites directly, everyone in the hall hears it, and everyone is silent.
Zhu Qiyu had a stiff smile on his face, and frequently bowed his head, especially when he heard the sentence of welcoming the emperor's car, Zhu Qiyu's heart couldn't help jumping, because he clearly saw that there were many ministers in the palace who changed their expressions when they heard this. I couldn't help but feel a nameless anger in my heart. If he hadn't deliberately suppressed it, he kept reminding himself that he was the son of the day, and he wanted to maintain his prestige and dignity in front of the ministers, maybe Zhu Qiyu would have jumped to scold his mother in the bones of the hall.
"Your Majesty, what Li Saijiu said is exactly what the ministers think, and I hope Your Majesty can allow it." After reading it directly, Lao Wang finally let go, handed over the copy of Li Shimian's handwritten book to the eunuch waiting on the side, and bowed down in court.
"I already know that Li Qing's words are all words for the country, but now there are many troubles in the country, so we should be cautious." Zhu Qiyu's hands clenched into fists behind the dragon case, and said lightly, but everyone in the palace heard the irrepressible anger in Zhu Qiyu's voice.
However, Wang Zhi still said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, if the throne has been decided today, the emperor will return, and he will not return to the affairs of the world, Your Majesty can worship it, and the brothers will be harmonious, and this is a grand event in ancient and modern times." I hope that Your Majesty will accept the words of the old minister and allow the old minister's request. ”
The sound was loud and loud, and the hall was buzzing, these words really made His Royal Highness's ministers can't help but change color slightly, and said, although there are also ministers who propose to welcome the return of the emperor, but they have always been said secretly, no one expected, Wang Zhijin said, taking the opportunity of Li Shimian to write a book, said so publicly, so naked, that meaning is clearly to have a showdown with the Son of Heaven, forcing the Son of Heaven to express his position today no matter what, whether you can take the emperor back to Beijing or not, in a word!
With a snap, Zhu Qizhen, who struck the dragon case with a palm, got up, stood behind the dragon case, gritted his teeth, and stared at the old Wang Zhi who was kneeling in the hall, raised his upper body, and looked at him with his eyes without timidity. Even the sound of breathing seemed to freeze in the main hall.
"Wang Qing, what do you mean?" Zhu Qiyu's voice was full of undisguised anger. "Over the years, the thorns have invaded my border towns, kidnapped my border people, damaged my walls, destroyed the families of my Ming people, and separated countless wives......"
“…… Hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost the shame of the Tumu Fort, and the soldiers and civilians of the world still hate it, but now, you want me to show kindness to the thorns, what is the reason?! ”
-------------------- Wang Zhi said without showing weakness: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, a few months ago, Your Majesty didn't make a clear edict to show the world, and I made peace with the tile thorn?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's face, which was originally red from anger, suddenly turned purple like a pig's liver, and his mouth showed signs of trembling. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Wen hurriedly came out of the crowd and shouted at Wang Zhi: "Your Majesty is doing this for the great plan of the country, and he is entrusted with a false snake. So that many soldiers and civilians who were exiled in the Ming Dynasty were able to return to the Ming Dynasty. ”
"In that case, why can't the Emperor welcome back?" Wang Zhi was not afraid of Wang Wen at all, and shouted directly, Wang Wen rolled his eyes again, but the nobles who were released to the court couldn't help showing a little disdain on their faces, looking at Wang Wen who was about to jump out.
Everyone knows the truth, it's just too lazy to break it, who would have thought that Wang Wen didn't even want to have a face, and he had to put gold on Zhu Qiyu's face, and in the eyes of everyone, it was like smearing gold on Zhu Qiyu's face, smelly and disgusting.
The veteran minister, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, cleared his throat and bowed down: "Your Majesty, since you can entrust the tile thorn with a false snake for my Ming army and people, why not push the boat down the river and welcome back to the emperor, so as to do your best?" In this way, the people of the world will praise His Majesty's benevolence and filial piety, and relieve the suffering of the Queen Mother and the Emperor's mother and son......"
"Enough!" Zhu Qiyu was angry, completely erupted, like a volcano that was forcibly detonated and erupted, standing behind the dragon case, he roared angrily: "You have repeatedly forced me with this, why in the end?!" ”
This roar shook the tea cup on the dragon case and trembled gently, and all the ministers in the palace were stunned by Zhu Qiyu's sudden outburst, and they all stared blankly at Zhu Qiyu, who was standing behind the dragon case and was crazy.
Wang Zhi also frightened Zhu Qiyu's actions, but the afterglow of this old Wang Zhi's eyes swept to Li Ji, who had white filial piety on his head, and when he thought of the best friend who still did not forget the country's social affairs when he was dying, he couldn't help but have a hot head.
"Your Majesty is angry, the old minister still has something to say." Lao Wang's straight spine straightened up more and more, and his voice became louder and louder: "The Emperor Taishang was captured at the hands of the tile thorn, and he should have been restored a long time ago to calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”
These words also completely shocked the ministers in the palace, well, shocked. Unexpectedly, the old guy launched a surge, and even the Son of Heaven was hard topped, and the courage was so great that those old ministers couldn't help but think of the scene when Li Shimian stood in the court and pointed fingers at the Son of Heaven.
"You! Okay, good you Wang Zhi! Zhu Qiyu was also angry, and his hands and feet were cold. He lifted the eunuch who saw Zhu Qiyu's strange appearance, strode to the front of the dragon case, pointed to the gilded dragon chair behind the dragon case, and roared: "I am not uncommon in this position, who persecuted me again and again at that time, who is it?" Isn't that just you? Now, the world is a little quiet, where do you want to put me?! ”
This is serious, Wang Zhi couldn't help but turn white all of a sudden, and opened his mouth, but he really didn't know how to answer Zhu Qiyu, who had already started to play a scoundrel.
Hu Hu helplessly pulled the placket of Wang Zhi's clothes, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please calm the wrath of thunder, the ministers have no other intentions." ”
Wang Wen and the others naturally bowed down to His Highness at this moment: "Your Majesty, please stop the wrath of the thunder, and the ministers will die ......."
Zhu Qiyu was still panting, his eyes flashed fiercely, but he didn't dare to drink the order to his great-grandfather or grandfather to kill the court in front of the court.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Yu Qian, who had been watching coldly, stepped forward and said loudly: "Now, the heavenly position has been decided, Ning Fu has it, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to meet the emperor, but it is just for benevolence and filial piety, why should Your Majesty worry about it?" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the ......"
The voices of the ministers were endless, and the anger on Zhu Qiyu's face gradually dissipated, Yu Qian's words really entered his heart, and the ministers seconded it, that is, for this matter, he made a footnote and greeted the emperor, but it was for Quan Renxiao, not to regain the throne.
"Aiqing's words, the old man seeks the country, and I should accept it." Taking a deep breath and feeling the freshness of the air, how beautiful the world is Zhu Qiyu finally came back to his senses, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and raised his hand to signal everyone Aiqing to please.
"This matter will be decided by the cabinet first and then voted on, and I should approve it." Zhu Qiyu slowly sat back on the dragon chair with the support of his cronies and eunuch Xing'an, and his body, which had not been exercised all year round, only jumped like this for a while before and after the dragon case, and he was already a little out of breath.
Lao Wang glanced at the cabinet members who had already gotten up, and saw that they all avoided his gaze, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, thinking that this was just a delaying strategy by the Son of Heaven.
But at this moment, the old Wang Zhi, who was already cold and discouraged, really didn't have the energy to have another fight with the Son of Heaven, and Li Ji, a young scholar who was young and had no official status, but had already seen a classic palace drama, was also going over the river and the sea in his heart at this moment.
-------------------- the cabinet members exchanged glances with each other, and they did not say anything very tacitly, but they all understood the mind of the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven did not announce it in court, but let these cabinet members go back together, in a word, the Son of Heaven did not want the Emperor Taishang to come back at all. It's just a casual and perfunctory move forced by the situation.
Therefore, Chen Xun has already calculated in his heart how this vote should be drafted at this moment, so as to conform to the wishes of the Son of Heaven, as for the Emperor Taishang and Wang Zhi's opinion, it is not something that Chen Xun can take into account and take into account.
Just when everyone in the hall was pregnant with ghosts and had their own thoughts, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Your Majesty, Xuanfu is in urgent military situation." The eunuchs waiting outside the door of the hall screamed, and the whispering in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but mention it.
Zhu Qiyu's face, which had changed greatly, suddenly bounced up again on the buttocks that had just been glued to the dragon chair. "Hurry up!"
After a lot of effort, the military report was presented into the hall, and soon handed it to Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, Yu Qian opened the military newspaper with his brows tightened, and when he saw the handwriting on the military newspaper, he couldn't help shaking his hands, gasped, and his original face was heavy and serious.
Seeing that Yu Qian, who had always been in danger and had never changed his face slightly, would have such a gaffe, everyone raised their hearts to their throats. There are even some imaginary guys who have appeared in their minds, and hundreds of thousands of tile thorn iron horsemen have reappeared in the border town of Daming, waving their knives and whips, pointing directly at the picture of the Central Plains.
"What happened to Yu Shangshu? What happened to Xuanfu Border Town? ”
"Isn't it that the Watt Thorn does not speak of faith and righteousness, and invades my border town again? ……”
A vote of civil and military people asked one after another. And Yu Qian's strange expression made everyone present petrified with a single sentence. "The emperor has returned, and he is in the Xuanfu."
There was a crisp sound, and the tea cup on the dragon case fell to the ground, and a piece of hot tea was sprinkled on the floor......
