Chapter 551: Bow Your Head (I)
Yang Tinghe came to Liangxiang not on the spur of the moment, nor was it simply because of the pressure from the Queen Mother, in fact, he made this decision after repeated calculations with his son. In the various answers he had envisaged in advance, he thought a lot about the future emperor's troubles, and he also thought about how to deal with them.
He was not afraid to be reasonable, and as a famous scholar who had been a jinshi since the age of nineteen, his words and swords were sharp enough for the emperor to finally compromise. He came this time to prepare to defeat the emperor as the head of the cabinet, so that the emperor could understand that in the days to come, the cabinet would be the leader of the country. In other words, today's meeting should be a decisive meeting that will decide the future of the Ming Dynasty and who will be the leader of the monarchy.
But no matter how smart he is and how talented Yang Shen is, a situation that neither of them thought about was that a military attache would actually say that he wanted the prince to return to his feudal country and give up the succession. This kind of speech can already be called arrogant, but the prince did not reprimand his words, it seems to be ...... Acquiescence? Is this the meaning of this little Yizheng, or the meaning of the prince himself?
When everyone is staring at the big position, everyone is thinking about grabbing, and someone will take the initiative to say that they are not doing it? Rao is Yang Ting and Jiuli Huanhai, at this moment, he is also a little at a loss, how can he say that he will go back in this world? Doesn't he know what he would lose if he really turned around and went back to Anlu?
"The son of the world has not ascended the throne for a day, he is only the son of the world, not the son of heaven, so he can't go to the Daming Gate, and he can't live in the Fengtian Palace. It's a rule you stick to, and it's hard to say you're wrong. However, the prince is here to succeed the throne, not to be the crown prince to succeed to the throne, several angels in the capital are here, and Yang Ge can invite them to ask. At the beginning, they read the will, whether Xuan Shizi came to the throne of the emperor or to be the prince. Therefore, this Donghua Gate, as well as the Wenhua Palace, we will never agree. If you insist, please find someone who accepts your arrangement and inherits the throne. ”
In the face of Yang Chengzu's aggressiveness, Yang Tinghe was about to attack, and the prince finally opened his mouth, "Yang Yizheng, don't be unreasonable to Shoufu." You stand down, tell everyone, go and prepare your bags, and we will go back to Anlu. ”
Although Zhu Houxi's tone was not very intense, it was exceptionally firm and powerful, showing his uncompromising determination and will. This time, it was Yang Tinghe's turn to take the initiative to stop Yang Chengzu, so as not to really escalate the situation to the point of being out of control.
Based on Yang Tinghe's many years of experience as an official, it can be judged that His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely not retreat on this issue, and if he does not agree to the other party's request, he may really turn around and go back to Anlu.
When the process was first set, these drafters had selfish intentions in their hearts. They don't want the Ming Jun Hongzhi in their hearts to be the heir of the Son of Heaven. Even if it is not explicitly said that Zhu Houxi will take over as the son of Xiaozong, but the brother will end up with the brother, and then embark on such a set of processes, it will be a matter of course. You can inherit the son to the name of Xiaozong, and inherit the incense of the filial piety temple from then on.
This arrangement, which the Empress Dowager Zhang is also happy to see, is the result of the joint promotion of the cabinet and the inner court. Thinking that the son of the next life is a young man who has not yet matured, he must not be able to see the deep meaning of this. After a few years, when he found out that something was wrong, everything was a foregone conclusion, and there was no way to go back. In fact, they don't feel that the new monarch has the need to repent, and if they accept this throne, they have to accept this arrangement, isn't it fair?
How did he see this? Yang Tinghe's gaze involuntarily fell on Yang Chengzu, is it this person, or that Yuan Zonggao? But whoever sees it shouldn't tell you that you're going to do something bad.
"Your Highness, please think twice. The stakes are too high to be joked about. Your Highness, please also focus on the overall situation, and do not take the momentary will. All the arrangements of the cabinet, in the final analysis, are for the consideration of His Highness. ”
"There's no need to think about anything, Lone's father has been driving for less than three years, and the mother concubine is still in Anlu. If you are alone in order to succeed to the throne, you will recognize other people as your parents, which is unfilial piety. What qualifications do unfilial people have to sit on the master of this splendid country? ”
"Shizi, let the old man think about it again, this matter is very important, and we can't be emotional."
This strong man who is in charge of the fate of the Ming Dynasty, at this moment, has to bow his noble head and seek a compromise. Even if he knew that he would take the initiative to back down at this time, he would be at a disadvantage in the next negotiations, but he had no other choice, if Zhu Houxi really left, Yang Ting and himself would be squeezed to a dead end, and there was no way out.
During the power vacuum period before Xinjun entered Beijing, Yang Tinghe and his cabinet exploded into a big explosion of the repression they had suffered for many years. They have seized a lot of power and done a lot of great things, from arresting Jiang Bin, dismissing the eunuchs everywhere to killing those traitors and villains in their eyes.
Many of these things are only qualified to be decided by the emperor, and they are led by the cabinet, and there is already a suspicion of trespassing, but fortunately, after the new monarch ascends the throne, their actions will be confirmed, which can be regarded as an endorsement after the fact. It is with this kind of self-confidence that the cabinet members showed their strength and really tossed in the court.
If the prince turns away, then their previous actions will become purely personal acts, and these actions will not hold up in the name of righteousness. It can be said that if the emperor refuses to help deal with this mess, the cabinet will take the blame.
Moreover, the Son of Heaven is in a big way, and then the new monarch he has single-handedly squeezed into the Turning Seal State. Then Yang Tinghe's reputation, don't want it. The court, the princes, are afraid that they want to classify Yang Tinghe as a reckless person. Doctor Shi cherishes feathers, Yang Tinghe especially values his reputation, he not only hopes to contribute to the country and do more things for the country, but also hopes that he can have a good reputation in the future, instead of dying in the name of a traitor.
It seems that the vassal king he chose was not as weak as he had mastered before, at least when he was willful, it was difficult for others to shake his will.
Is it because the local people have the wrong information, or are those people betraying themselves? Yang Tinghe was a little shaken by the information from the Jinyi system, but at the moment, whether it was shaken or angry, it would not help solve the current predicament, and what was needed now was to solve this problem.
"Your Royal Highness, I hope you will stay for a few more days, Rong Chen will discuss with your colleagues and make a decision, I don't know what Your Highness thinks?"
"It's okay, I understand the cabinet's hardships, and I don't want to embarrass anyone, you discuss slowly. Yang Yizheng, we brought some cloud tea from Anlu and brought some out to Yang Ge, Yang Ge worked hard for the imperial court, exhausted his efforts, these local products, even if they are lonely to the old ministers. ”
