Empress Dowager Qian was angry because of Li You's "betrayal", and she might be able to settle accounts after the autumn, but there was nothing she could do in Wuying Hall at this time.

Li You was once again glad that he had crossed over to the Daming Dynasty and the Dynasty, where civilian power was at its peak. In fact, when you travel to any dynasty, there is no reason to be pushed out on the spot to cut off your head because you disagree with the king in the temple meeting, unless you are too lucky to meet the king of the emperor.

At the current delicate time, the issue of the wedding of the Son of Heaven can still be confused. Once it is clearly thrown, no one dares to object. Besides, Lord Li, who is famous for his rhetoric, stood in front of His Majesty and stared at him, and he didn't know how many vicious words were ready to move in his stomach, which made people fear three points first.

Those who should agree have come out to agree, and the lineup is strong and the weight is very heavy, it is not a situation where people speak lightly, and it is impossible to deliberately ignore it. At the same time, those who shouldn't agree can't find a reason to come forward, and the eyes of the palace are focused on the old head assistant Zhang Ruoyu, and see what he says. Who made him the first assistant... Zhang Shoufu was still slightly dizzy, and he only felt that his mind was not enough. After decades of eunuch life, there are really not many times when you are so passive.

As the first assistant entrusted by the first emperor, he not only could not oppose it, nor could he delay the discussion, but even had to actively support the marriage of the Son of Heaven. Being regarded as Duke Zhou or reckless by Qingshi may depend on this matter, and the reputation of Tuo Gu Auxiliary Minister for hindering the marriage of the Son of Heaven will inevitably attract criticism, and he will never be able to afford it.

He didn't have no plans for this, and he wanted to come forward to promote the marriage of the Son of Heaven when the time was right, and then he would retreat with his whole body, complete a good story of the monarch and ministers, and seek a good beginning and a good end. This is the finale of his planned career as prime minister.

It's not today... In particular, he was robbed of the opportunity by his opponent, and he wanted to follow the grandchild who had just accused him in front of him!

At this moment, in this situation, Da Mingjing and the first minister in the early years, the seventy-four-year-old old Shoufu also had to bow their heads.

He knew that if he spit out an objection or a reprieve, he would be impeached in an instant. Opposition from others may only be seen as grandstanding, but his opposition will be seen as ill-intentioned, which is the burden of being a prime minister.

Wouldn't this person have seen the old man's point and deliberately come up with this general? Zhang Ruoyu thought about it while facing the Queen Mother, preparing to accompaniment.

Empress Dowager Qian seemed to see the embarrassment of the old man through the bead curtain, and in order to save the face of the old minister, she resolutely ordered: "Zhun Er and others play, the old gentleman will discuss it with Zhu Qing!" ”

The Queen Mother has already made a decision, and Zhang Shoufu no longer needs to go along with Li Youzuo to invite the Son of Heaven to get married, and his heart is a little relieved. The queen mother's meaning was obvious, and she wanted to hand over this matter to him, so she stepped forward and said, "The minister's decree." ”

If you can be the leader of the Son of Heaven's wedding, it will not be a problem to take back some initiative, Zhang Shoufu thought.

The Queen Mother is blatantly biased, and although several people who have taken the initiative are dissatisfied, they can only be helpless. If it is more true on the surface, the Queen Mother's reasons are more sufficient, and it is absolutely understandable to let the first assistant dominate, which is the embodiment of the prime minister's status.

Zhang Shoufu looked around at the group of officials, brewed a few words in his chest, and was about to open his mouth to say a few big truths such as "the East Palace is empty, and the country is empty"... At this time, the loud and untimely voice came out again: "I think it's inappropriate! The wedding of the Son of Heaven is both a state affair and a family affair, and now that the affairs in the palace are in charge of the affairs of the Chitose Guide, how can it be avoided? Listed as a relative and retired with the country, how can you not hear about it? It is not said that it is postponed now, but it is said that the cabinet ministry will discuss it with the Chitose and the national relatives, and then it is appropriate to report to the Virgin! So as not to be in a hurry, you can also spread the good news and celebrate with the whole world! ”

Everyone looked at the voice, who is this not Li You? It's really a suggestion, he was the one who hurriedly invited the Son of Heaven to get married, and he was the one who proposed to postpone the discussion at this time... He is justified in saying both the right and the opposite.

But I also have to admit that now in the Wuying Palace, only Li Zhongshu is qualified to say "it should be postponed".

Others are afraid that they will be detained with ulterior motives and neglect of the country, but Lord Li is a person who has taken the huge risk of being settled by the queen of the autumn, and is loyal to the head of the country to discuss the big wedding, so naturally there is no such problem.

"Quasi-play." After the bead curtain, there was a holy oracle, this time the queen mother was more neat, and it is estimated that she also knew that there was nothing to say on this issue today, Li You took advantage of everything, and ended it early.

There is no clear direction of the will, generally the cabinet directs, in major affairs, the will of the palace through the cabinet draft edict can be regarded as a legal edict widely recognized by foreign courts. There is this rule, so Zhang Ruoyu, who is the first assistant of the cabinet, had to move his old body again, stepped forward and said respectfully: "The minister's order." ”

But for some reason, he felt auditory hallucinations in his ears, and the sound of the words "Minister's Decree" seemed to be repeated. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, have I been so old?

There seemed to be someone watching next to him, Zhang Shoufu turned his head sideways, but found that the hateful grandchild Huangkou Xiaoer was looking at him very embarrassed.

Rewind time for a moment, and a jaw-dropping thing happened in the Wuying Palace. The princes in the palace witnessed Li Zhongshu and Zhang Shoufu each stepping forward at the same time on one side, and almost at the same time said to the queen mother... Who's wrong?

Shoufu is naturally not wrong, he is the actual prime minister, and he has the right to receive the decree on behalf of the ministers. But then again, Li Zhongshu is not necessarily wrong.

As the name suggests, the sub-vote Zhongshu set up because the cabinet group has no leader, is not just a Zhongshu who divides the chapters. This official position not only has the responsibility of distributing the chapters, but when the decree of the Empress Dowager arrives in the cabinet, he should also distribute it after receiving the decree. This division of power and responsibility is adhering to the glorious tradition of "controlling the big with the small" and "suppressing the upper and lower" put forward by Emperor Taizu, and ensuring that the Zhu family will not fall into the hands of powerful ministers by involving each other (in fact, it has also been done... ）。

Therefore, since Li Zhongshu was in full charge of relevant affairs and his momentum swelled sharply, when the Empress Dowager handed over the decree to the cabinet for handling, he had always received the decree first, and then handed it over to the scholars. However, Empress Dowager Qian's ruling style is relatively quiet, mainly based on the submission of comments and turns, and there are not many times when she takes the initiative to issue edicts.

The first assistant, who was nominally in charge of cabinet affairs before, was not in the cabinet, so naturally no one robbed Li Zhongshu with him, but now Li You is still accustomed to receiving orders with his surname. Besides, he has been doing things in front of His Majesty just now, and he has not yet returned to the train, so it is convenient to receive the order by the way. As a result, there was an embarrassment that the six-product Zhongshu and the first-grade Shoufu were separated by a few feet, and each received its own order.

In the final analysis, Li Zhongshu has been in the DPRK for a short time, and he really hasn't seen the majestic era when Zhang Shoufu monopolized the dynasty, so he didn't care too much about it in his heart, and subconsciously only became a strengthened version of Peng Ge Lao, and at this time he was actually negligent.

After understanding the situation, Lao Shoufu was like an angry lion who had been invaded into the territory, holding back his qi and blood, almost losing his temper, and raised his whole body to scold loudly: "Who is the junior, dare to lose his honor in front of the king!" Get out of here and suspend yourself for introspection! ”

If it is an ordinary cabinet clerk, of course the cabinet chief assistant has the power to deal with it, in fact, according to the custom, the promotion and dismissal of the scholar is basically in the hands of the university scholar. But Li Zhongshu is obviously the most unusual one, and it is really a question mark whether the disposal under Shoufu's anger can be implemented.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses... In the face of the angry Shousuke, if the Queen Mother unreasonably intervenes to deal with him, it will be troublesome. Li You quickly arched his hand to apologize, "The lower official is rude, now that the performance is over, please continue." Filling the vacancy of the university is related to the government's political plan, and it is also a matter of vital importance, which must be presided over by the elderly. ”

Dropping this sentence, Li You hugged his head and rushed back to the crowd incognito as quickly as possible.

Everyone didn't expect that the matter of making up for the lack of scholars came full circle, but it was once again proposed by Li Zhongshu... This is obviously what the old Shoufu and the Queen Mother want to do together, and Li Zhongshu risked his life to propose the marriage of the Son of Heaven in order to suppress this issue today, which can be described as a delaying tactic. Why did he come out again now to advise on the postponement of the marriage, and first discuss the absence of scholars? It's too capricious.

Every time Mr. Li speaks, it is unexpected, and it makes people feel uncertain. There are only a few people who didn't expect it in advance, but they can keep up with Master Li's magical thinking... Lao Shoufu felt that he had once again lost the initiative, and at the same time, he also felt that people's hearts had quietly changed.

Not long ago, the other side was just a poor person abandoned by the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and in the power struggle, pity was useless. But now he has unconsciously changed, shrouded in the halo of the Son of Heaven, and has become the party that openly supports the Son of Heaven... Strictly speaking, although there are many people in the court who have the dragon in mind, they have never openly formed an imperial party. The group of people of the eldest princess Chitose did not play the banner of the Son of Heaven, and it was not so much the imperial party as the princess party.

After all, the current situation is that the Queen Mother has been in power for many years, and if she blatantly supports the young son of heaven who doesn't know what the quality is, the short-term risk of stimulating the Queen Mother is too great. Those who are not enough to speculate are even more looking for death, such as the six prisoners last year.

But the pro-government of the Son of Heaven is definitely the trend of the times, is it the long-term plan of the Ming Dynasty for the heroine to come to the dynasty? It's just that everyone doesn't know where the development node and change opportunity of this trend are, and if you choose the wrong one, you may be unlucky, and you don't have a sure grasp of it, so everyone just pretends to be confused and doesn't choose.

It seems that the situation has changed a little bit today... The two scholars and the top ministers such as the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial History of Zuodu stood up together to invite the Son of Heaven to marry, and the last echo of the leader of the Shilin was Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites (the chief director, Master Li, was ignored here).

is almost half of the authority of the imperial court, not a self-aware fool like the sixth eunuch, and the weight is so heavy that the queen mother can't deal with it categorically. And they occupy the righteousness in the name, after all, the emperor is the emperor and not the queen mother.

A generation of new people to replace the old, is the opportunity for metabolism to come? Many people have complicated emotions and repeatedly consider the situation, and the laziest people also have to use their brains to constantly think, and at this juncture, if they make a mistake, they can go home and sell sweet potatoes.

It's all given by the kid who met for the first time, Zhang Shoufu doesn't know how many times he asked himself, is he really old, and he has always been led by the nose of a stinky child?

No!
