The candlelight flickered, reflecting everyone's shadows on the wall, and everyone's body was distorted and deformed with the shaking of the candlelight, as if sitting in the room was a fierce beast from the primeval wilderness, which was extremely hideous.

"Brother Shi Zhai, I haven't thought about what you said, it's just that I haven't thought about it, it's just ...... The stakes are too high to be taken lightly. We also have to consider the opinion of the inner court. ”

"This is a mistake, and we have already considered too much about the opinion of the inner court. In these days, have there been fewer edicts from the inner court? What is written! Women, after all, can't hold the court, as soon as they are asked to speak, things will be messed up. ”

The room became lively because of this problem, everyone had their own ideas, and everyone's ideas were different from each other, this secret room gradually evolved into a cabinet room, and everyone fell into daily quarrels, until Yang Tinghe coughed lightly, and the room fell into silence.

Like the cabinet of ministers, Shousuke also has supreme authority, and at such moments, the final word can be made. Several senior officials all looked at Yang Tinghe, waiting for his instructions. Yang Tinghe nodded to Yang Shen, who left the room first, and soon after, came in with a small piece of brocade and placed it on the table.

Everyone looked at the past by candlelight, and saw that it was a small piece of Shu brocade, with bright colors and delicate needlework, and it was from the hands of skilled craftsmen at a glance. Yang Tinghe pointed to this small piece of Shu brocade and said: "Today, the palace sent someone to send two Shu brocades to my family, saying that the queen mother took pity on me for my hard work and sent a reward." I think in a few days, several of your families will also receive this reward, what the Queen Mother means, everyone understands, right? ”

"Shu brocade?" Jiang Mian coughed a few times, "Could it be that the Queen Mother is the preferred candidate?" That can't be done, although the Shu Fan has a good name, but it is a distant branch, and it is too far away from the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, and it is not his turn. If he is chosen to inherit the unification, it is not in line with the etiquette, and the old man will definitely not nod. ”

"Just because he is a distant domain, so it is easy to handle, and the prince of Shu is young, if he inherits the unification, it will inevitably be hung by the queen mother. Zhang's meaning lies in this. Yang Shen threw the piece of Shu brocade towards the basket sent by Jiang Bin, "Jiang Bin belongs to the king of Yi, and what he asks for is to support him." The Queen Mother is interested in the King of Shu because he is young, so these two clans can be removed from our list. We must not choose the same person as the Inner Court. ”

"It is precisely like this, the Zhang family has been harming the court for many years. It's just that he is a descendant force, and no one can help him. When the new monarch succeeds to the throne, he must settle accounts with them. If it is a different emperor that they are satisfied with, how can this account be calculated? Yang Tinghe sneered, expressing his disdain, "Xinjun, you must not choose the same heart as the Queen Mother, otherwise there will be no hope for this state affair." This is the principle of selection. ”

Mao Jidao: "Brother Shi Zhai, the candidate for this new monarch still depends on the edict of the Son of Heaven, if the Queen Mother succeeds in lobbying on the Long Live side, we are afraid that we will ...... it."

"It doesn't matter, the Son of Heaven chooses someone to succeed him, and he must also issue an edict. And the person who drafted the edict was the old man. This pen is in the hands of the old man, whether it is the queen mother or long live, in the end, I will choose people according to my will. Yang Tinghe had a righteous face

"My generation reads the books of the sages, and I have to be arrogant, and I can't sit back and watch the country go wrong. The plans of the Queen Mother and Jiang Bin, we can't let him get his way, what the Ming Dynasty needs is a holy monarch in the true sense, not an emperor who conforms to their wishes. ”

"Brother Shi Zhai, hearing you say this, don't you already have a candidate in your heart? Can you tell me for details? ”

Yang Tinghe didn't answer this question, but said to himself: "Yang is a nineteen-year-old junior sergeant, and at that time, there was an eighteen-year-old champion Xiya Gong in the court, which is also a good story. I still remember that Xiya Gong once told me that day that when Xianmiao was in power, the eunuch Wang Zhi was in charge of the court, whether it was the six Shangshu or the cabinet princes, they had to act according to the face of the thief. The people of the time called it the paper paste three pavilion old, clay sculpture six books. Every time Xiya Gong remembers this, he is still resentful. I have repeatedly taught that the people of my generation who read can help the world and save the people, and they must strictly abide by ethics when they retreat, do not be in the company of treachery and evil, and never be the old man of the papier-mâché pavilion and the clay sculpture of the book. Yang always kept this teaching in his heart, and he did not dare to forget it for a while. At that time, I made a grand wish to revitalize the dynasty and not be an echo worm. ”

"Later, Liu thieves were rampant, and the weight of authority was especially greater than that of Wang Zhi, and the princes felt that at that time, we were better than the old paper paste pavilion of the previous dynasty, how much better was it? The reason is that the Son of Heaven favored Liu Thief, so that my generation had the intention to kill the thief and was unable to return to heaven. The Liu thief of the past, today's Jiang Bin and Zhang's are all raccoon dogs, if there is no favor from the Son of Heaven, in addition to these thieves, such as killing a number of dogs! Therefore, what we want to choose is a real emperor who can rule the arch and share the world with the scholars. ”

"Among the descendants of Xianmiao in the past, the bloodline of King Xing is the closest to Xiaomiao. With the Ming system, there are sons to pass on sons, and if there are no children, the brothers will end their brothers, and the sons of the Anlu Xing clan are the closest to the current bloodline, and they are the best candidates to inherit the throne. ”

"Xingwang Shizi?" Liang Chu, Mao Ji and the others glanced at each other, from the perspective of the bloodline emperor, the prince of Xingwang is indeed the closest one. However, according to Yang Tinghe's meaning, the choice of this heir is obviously not so simple. Xingwang Shizi, can he do the kind of world with scholars and doctors as he said?

This horse-drawn bow is now like a broken lamp swaying in the wind, and it will be extinguished at some point. The Ming Dynasty is now at a node, if this new monarch is well chosen, maybe the Ming Dynasty will be able to walk out of a new road. Does this son meet this standard?

The princes present have had enough of a strong son of heaven, if An Lu Shizi is still a strong person, then the situation is not much better than that of the Zhengde Dynasty. Anyway, An Lu is too far away from Jingshi, and everyone doesn't know how Xingwang Shizi behaves, is this candidate really good enough?

"After Long Live fell into the water, the prince of An Luxing took the lead in praying for the blessing of the Son of Heaven, and exchanged his yang life for the health of the Son of Heaven." Yang Shen took over the words, "Huguang has transferred many submissions from the Xing Palace, all of whom are local tenant farmers who sue the Wangfu. The magistrate was unable to deal with it and transferred it to the Department of General Administration. It's all disputes like land rent and land tax, some trivial matters, and there are no major things. ”

Yang Tinghe said: "The son of King Xing is smart and studious, and he will become a great tool in the future." In terms of blood and conduct, it should be his inheritance of the unification. ”

Liang Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "Long live the body...... If it gets better, our plan seems to be a little inappropriate. ”

"It's best if your health improves, and when the new year is over, it's time to worship the heavens. Long live as the head of all peoples, you have to take everyone to worship the heavens, if you are well, you should take everyone to do this, you can't shirk. ”

With a sick and weak body, he presided over a long and complicated ceremony to worship the heavens...... A chill rose in the hearts of several ministers. Yang Shen said again: "Jiang Bin these days, I'm afraid he will have to send the local products to the Liefu Mansion, everyone just accepts it, and there is no need to refuse." The gold and silver were kept as a reward for the thieves. ”

"The soldiers and horses of the three battalions, can they be used?"

Yang Tinghe smiled, "The old man has already talked with several British princes, and the princes are willing to help me suppress the thieves." The elite of the three battalions guarding the border are secretly returning to Beijing, and when the army returns to Beijing, it will be the time for me to sweep away the demonic atmosphere and go back to the peaceful world! ”

The cold wind was cold, the snow was fluttering, and before I knew it, a heavy snow fell on Jingshi, turning the whole city into a world covered in silver, and the white expanse was really clean.
