Chapter 564: Rejoicing Too Early

The unexpected unity of all the arguments points to the fact that the prince should not be present at the meeting. There was an uproar in the Beijing Division, but Zhu Youzhen was as safe as Mount Tai. The most anxious thing is naturally Queen Zhou, the first time empty-handed waiting for Zhu Youzhen to come back.

Seeing Empress Zhou, Zhu Youzhen's expression was solemn, but Concubine Tian, who was waiting in another hall, had a relaxed face. I heard that Empress Zhou was waiting for the emperor, but she didn't rush to get forward, at this time, it was best to do nothing.

"What is the Queen worried about?" Zhu Youzhen's question is very strange, this is knowingly asked. Empress Zhou was a little panicked, and said without words: "The prince is young, it is inevitable to make mistakes, and the concubines are willing to bear the guilt for the prince." Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen smiled instead, stretched out his hand to help Queen Zhou, who was kneeling, and said, "Get up, it's not as strict as you think." I am very relieved, at this time, you actually didn't say a word bad about Chen Sihua, which is really beyond my expectations. ”

Empress Zhou replied very naturally: "The emperor asked Chen Sihua to be a teacher for the prince, and the concubines can't have the slightest idea of questioning." If Chen Sihua is not loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, there will be no loyal ministers in this world. Since he is a loyal minister and a prince appointed by the emperor, how can the concubine blame him? Even if the prince is at fault, it is the sin of the concubine who did not teach it well when she was a child. ”

Empress Zhou still knows Zhu Youzhen's character very well, so she took all the mistakes down when she came up. This move, Zhu Youzhen felt distressed when he looked at it, although Queen Zhou said that she was not so pleasing to him, and she was not as versatile as Concubine Tian, but as a queen. She's done the best she can. You can't ask a queen of the world to be a queen of the world, like other women to show affection to invite favor, right? That's not what a queen is supposed to do. And in this matter, Zhu Youzhen is very satisfied with the queen's posture.

Although the husband and wife do not have the sweetness of the newlywed, they have more feelings of mutual support. Zhu Youzhen took Queen Zhou's hand in a rare way, and walked into the harem together, saying as he walked: "Today's morning dynasty." The queen didn't see it. In that formation, a first-rank senior member and thirteen second-, third-, and fourth-rank ministers stood up together to threaten their resignation and let me punish the prince. This is to punish the prince, this is to abolish the prince. What a bold man, these people did nothing when the country was in danger. This kind of thing is very energetic, and there is no trivial matter in any heavenly family. They didn't come for the crown prince, they came for me, they came for Chen Sihua, they came for my inner library. Pray for the bones, and I will fulfill them. ”

Only then did Empress Zhou know that an earthquake broke out in the early dynasty. Led by Chen Yan, a scholar of Dongge University. A group of officials, including members of the East Palace team, collectively stood up to impeach the prince for his behavior in Huating. thinks that this is a violation of the ancestral system and a mess of the program. asked the emperor to recall the crown prince, and let the prince think behind closed doors in the East Palace, study and cultivate himself for three years.

This matter is still very interesting to say, and the gang in the East Palace stood up and still had the intention of defending the prince. The purpose is still to get the prince back. Don't stay with Chen Xie. As for Chen Yan, he felt that this was an opportunity, as long as Chen Xie's side bowed his head slightly, these people led by him would have a chance to win over Chen Xie. Isn't it just a compromise?

What I didn't expect was. Zhu Youzhen didn't say a word in the morning, and now these people have no steps to go down. I had to make a big move, and I stood up together to resign, I never thought that Zhu Youzhen had been waiting for this, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, I'm ready." "I don't even bother to leave it for a while, the purpose of this trick is not to save face for these courtiers, but to use this matter as an example, to tell these ministers, don't scare the emperor with resignation at every turn, this trick is outdated.

If it weren't for the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty over the years, Zhu Youzhen really didn't have a good way to deal with these people. If you can't find their handle, you won't be able to clean them up. I was already very disappointed with these ministers, and I was still making trouble about this at this time, of course, I was not polite at all, I loved to stay, and I was not afraid that no one would want to take this position.

What's more critical is that in the early dynasty, the other members of the cabinet chose to be silent, did not stand up and jump, not as Chen Yan and others expected, as long as someone stood up and tossed, the Manchu civil and military would come out to invite Yan to invite a straight name. Originally, this was what those Qingliu liked to do the most, but I didn't expect that the cabinet ministers would not cooperate today, and even the stirring sticks of Yushitai stood quietly to the side and watched the excitement. This is tantamount to silently telling the emperor that we don't know them.

Today's early dynasty truly reflects the pattern of the imperial court after the reform of the cabinet system. Zhou Yanru as the first assistant, unexpectedly none of the cabinet ministers wore the same pants with him, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin are a bit of their own faction, not to mention collusion with each other, there must be a tacit understanding. The remaining one is Hong Chengchou, this gentleman is ambitious to climb up, ranking last, isn't it better to have one less above? As for the other ministers, such as Wei Zaode, he is the most promising one to enter the cabinet, and you asked him to come out and help Chen Yan speak? Isn't that a joke?

In the final analysis, the new cabinet system is the result of the situation in which cabinet ministers cannot collude with each other, each taking charge of their own affairs, and neither of them is willing to speak for the other. The division of power between ministers has become clearer, and other cabinet ministers have their own spheres of influence, except for the first assistant. This leads to zhì, when someone comes out to play with their lives, others will just watch the excitement. Zhu Youzhen handled it with ease, naturally it was much easier and more comfortable.

Tian Guifei kept smiling on her face, she had two sons, both of whom were very popular with the emperor. It's a pity that Zhu Youzhen wants to be the second Zhu Yuanzhang, and on the issue of heirs, he learns the style of Taizu. Originally, Tian Guifei couldn't see hope, but today's incident in the morning dynasty was naturally reported by ears and eyes. This time, Concubine Tian was happy, and Zhu Cihong died by herself. Even his teachers have come out against him, and this is not good news, what is good news? No matter how powerful that Chen Xie is, can a person keep the position of Zhu Cihong, the crown prince? As long as the Manchu Dynasty made such a fuss, the prince's position was not unbreakable.

Tian Guifei knew the beginning. But I guessed the ending wrong. She never expected that those ministers, who usually have a loud voice, don't seem to be too motivated today. Because she was so happy, Tian Guifei didn't even wait for the news of the ending, and couldn't wait for the emperor's arrival here. After she had all the qiē ready, the follow-up news arrived. Tian Guifei, who was happily making a bowl of soup with her own hands, fell to the ground with the spoon in her hand. "Smack", it's crispy!

Chen Xie is a person, and he is still far away in Nanjing, but the result is that he won, easily, and he won very beautifully without even having to come forward. The emperor's trust in him has actually reached this point. I really didn't expect anything before.

The little eunuch who sent the news, Tian Guifei couldn't laugh anymore, and silently returned to the dormitory, lying on the bed without saying a word, her eyes were blank, and she looked at the top of the tent blankly, as if she wanted to see through it. Unfortunately, she didn't have the ability. It's too early to rejoice. The result is, of course, infinite shame. This woman is still very smart, and she quickly gained an experience from this matter: "Chen Xie." You can't be an enemy. If Chen Xie doesn't change his attitude, her son will definitely have no chance to compete for the throne.

After an earthquake in Beijing, there was not much movement in the aftermath. Wei Zaode got his wish and entered the cabinet as a scholar of the East Pavilion University, becoming the last cabinet minister. The biggest beneficiary of this farce surprisingly fell on Hong Chengchou. He, the nominal secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been straightened! In the true sense of the word, I have mastered the Ministry of Rites.

The Ming Dynasty was an era of great emphasis on etiquette, and many scholars had to hang the name of a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. In fact, the Ministry of Rites is also an absolute candidate for the second assistant of the cabinet. In contrast, the Ministry of Works. It belongs to the unpopular unit, ranking last, and it is impossible to fight to death as a cabinet scholar. The farce soon subsided, and peace was restored to the court.

Thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, it is setting off a fierce battle. The new body of the Consultative Bureau, because of Zhu Cihong's appearance in Huating, directly triggered an earthquake-like reaction. The entire Jiangnan officialdom realized that the supervisory power of the Advisory Bureau, it seems that the emperor is playing for real, not just making a show and giving a false name.

Because the advisory bureau, which is written in the rules to supervise the officialdom at all levels of the Ming Dynasty, its status directly surpasses that of those squires who have meritorious names but no official positions. Even if you used to be an official, but now you are in the opposition, you can't point fingers at the court. At most, it is a relationship with guò himself, and he is hot in the imperial court. The Consultative Bureau is different, as long as they have clear evidence, they can use the name of the Advisory Bureau at all levels to report officials at all levels. This nature is completely different.

It was in this atmosphere that the elections for the various county councils began, and the fierceness of the election exceeded all expectations. Even Chen Xie underestimated the allure of this right to these businessmen. When the autumn harvest is over, the elections for each prefecture are over, and then the provincial councillors gather for the election of provincial councillors. There is a limit to the number of seats in each province, one speaker, two deputy speakers, one secretary-general, and one deputy secretary-general, and these five people are automatically promoted to provincial councillors. Similarly, members of the county council are automatically promoted to state councillors. There are five provincial councillors in one province and only three in a state. After the results of the state council, the provincial council also began elections to elect a five-member governing body. The competition is even more intense, why is it so fierce? Quite simply, according to the rules of the Consultative Council, only these five individuals have the right to challenge the provincial government, although only if they have sufficient evidence. But this supervisory power is enough to drive people crazy. Lao Tzu can point fingers at the governor, can he still bear it?
