Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Water Drops and the Copper Dragon Leak Long (7)
Zhu Cihong and Li Banghua had dinner together, demoted each other, and made the old minister work harder, and arranged tomorrow's text battle overnight. Thinking that his father's energy would be exhausted in this kind of ruffle, and the major national events that really needed the emperor's responsibility for decision-making could only be postponed, Zhu Cihong felt more helpless and happy in his heart.
Fortunately, he is only the crown prince, if he unfortunately becomes the emperor, it is like falling into quicksand, surrounded by all kinds of mediocre people, where can he still exert half of his strength?
Zhu Cihong ordered Tian Cunshan to guard the door, took out the notebook locked in the copper box, studied the ink himself, and wrote down a line of fly-headed small letters, recording what he saw, heard, thought and thought today. The reactions of each of them, and the intention of their own arrangements, are also recorded in detail. It's not about being responsible for history, it's about decades of habit.
Since he first learned to write in his previous life, Zhu Cihong has the habit of writing a diary. Every time I write these words, it is like talking to my best friends and doing a psychological massage. When the pressure is particularly high, it is a good outlet for haode.
Of course, these diaries are bound to become materials for future generations to remember and verify, and maybe they will also discredit their own image of Gao Daquan. But after all, Zhu Cihong could not have broken off his friendship with this "friend" for the sake of his false reputation after choking.
When Zhu Cihong was writing his diary, the lights in the palace were like torches.
This is very rare in the thrifty Chongzhen, so rare that only the New Year festival will have such a "luxury".
Today, the emperor and queen sit side by side and do not speak. Sitting opposite was Empress Yi'an Zhang, staring at the irresponsible parents with blazing eyes. She was one of the few people in the world today who could reprimand the Emperor and Empress, and just moments ago, she had used this appalling power.
"In the end, it is a recruit or not!" Empress Zhang raised her eyebrows obliquely.
Chongzhen secretly raised his eyes to look at the imperial sister-in-law, and hurriedly lowered it again. He suddenly remembered that when His Majesty interrogated Wu Chang with torture because of Zhou Yanru's case, he said the same thing.
However, Empress Zhang's meaning: to recruit the crown prince Zhu Cihong to return to the palace.
Queen Zhou also hung her head, but her mood was very different from her husband. She was secretly happy in her heart, long before Empress Zhang came over, she had already cried and asked the emperor to summon the prince back. However, the emperor exported the constitution, how could it be changed overnight? turned his head and blocked back with the words of the queen mother herself at that time.
However, even if the queen is the mother of the country, she is the biological mother of the prince, and as a woman, she is qualified to regret it. At that time, because of Zhu Cihong's soft grinding and hard bubbles, he promised his son to leave the palace, but now he has been worried all day and feels remorseful, which is also human nature.
The three most vocal people in the palace gathered in Kunning Palace, and Chongzhen naturally found himself the focus of the struggle, so he had to keep silent.
"If Cining Palace is still there, I don't know what to think!" Empress Zhang said angrily.
The Cining Palace that Empress Zhang refers to is a widow of Emperor Shenzong's Zuihou - Concubine Xuanyi Kangzhao and Concubine Liu.
This concubine was five years older than Shenzong, and Chongzhen was already seventy-one years old when he ascended to the pole. After the election of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, she presided over as the queen mother and appointed Empress Zhang. Later, he and Empress Zhang elected Empress Zhou.
Concubine Liu was very good to the kings, so Tianqi and Chongzhen regarded her as their grandmother. From the first year of the Apocalypse to the death of Chongzhen in the fifteenth year, she has always been the treasure of the Forbidden City. Holding such a heavy power, but only having a voice in the matter of canonizing the queen, and almost not feeling her presence at other times, how can it not be admired?
Chongzhen thought of the kind and optimistic old grandmother, and suddenly his nose was sore. He took a breath: "The current situation is like this, I discussed with Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing a few days ago to see if I can gather the children of the honorable relatives and important ministers to organize and train a new army." If the crown prince is recalled for no reason, how can the ministers be convinced? ”
Zhang Yan was just about to speak, Chongzhen had already gotten up and turned to the door, so he couldn't see it, and said: "Although the prince is a little reckless when he leaves the palace, he has the courage to do things, and he also happens to set an example." ”
"If something happens to the prince, what is the country!" Empress Zhang stood up and shouted.
"If there is an accident in Cihong...... Chongzhen's voice was full of sadness, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "With King Cijiong as the crown prince, and the word 'fortitude' is given to Cihong." ”
Bang!
As soon as these words came out, Empress Zhang was so angry that she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at the emperor's feet.
Fragments of blue and white porcelain cups splashed, and tea wet the hem of the dragon robe.
Queen Zhou came to her senses when she heard the sound and cried loudly.
Chongzhen was annoyed by the unscrupulous words just now, but since the cruel words were all abandoned, it was even more difficult to recover, so he had to rush out of Kunning Palace quickly and flee away.
This family meeting in Ouchi seemed to be intense, but five hours later, Emperor Chongzhen found that the real intensity was still in the outer court.
The Hanlin Academy, the subordinate officials of the East Palace, and the Six Branch Corridors have written books one after another, discussing the illegal indecency of the prince leaving the palace from all angles. The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is a clear stream of words and words, and the affairs officials and pro-people officials are turbidity. Those who can enter the list of Qingliu are all cattle who are ranked in the top 30 in the country in terms of examination scores, and their combat effectiveness in writing articles and writing battles is amazing.
These people think they occupy the moral high ground, and when the incident happens suddenly, they are quite complacent.
As everyone knows, Li Banghua ran all night and personally said that the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had also prepared for battle overnight.
It is of great significance for the prince to leave the palace, and he is an exemplary recital for the world, and he also flew to the imperial case like snowflakes.
There are two major organizations of the Ming Dynasty, one is the imperial history under the leadership of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the thirteen supervising imperial history, and the governors and governors of various places concurrently served by the imperial history. The other is the six departments corresponding to the six parts. It is these things that can refute the emperor's decree.
The imperial history is called the Taoist official, and he is called the section official in the matter, so the official is also collectively called the branch officer. And because the imperial history is Taiwan, and the six branches are the wall, it is also called "Taiyuan".
Taiyuan is the road of the Great Ming Dynasty, the emperor is upright, and the hundred officials are corrected.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the six branches were given to the officials of the Hanlin Academy and Shangbao in the matter, "often standing on the left and right of the throne", which was a close servant and a transcendent political status. After Yongle, the seven-rank Yanguan was also ranked before the five-rank lang. He also said: "Only the auxiliary ministers can discuss the affairs of the world, but the officials can speak." Although the officials are humble, they are with auxiliary ministers, etc. "The little seven-rank official, who can be on a par with the cabinet assistant, shows the importance of the country.
If the court is compared to the battlefield, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Branches Corridor are undoubtedly two elite divisions with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Generally speaking, if Jaefu is strong, Taigaki will inevitably be one, and they will all obey the orders of the cabinet. Many of the major cases were also caused by the opening of fire by the cabinet and the officials. However, now that the cabinet is weak, the walls are fighting their own battles, and the entire court looks like a mess.
However, the six subjects are nominally independent, but the ordinary assessment is attributed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As a result, many section officers found themselves suddenly standing on the opposite side of their bosses, and they all died down, and even changed the direction of the wind. This naturally aroused the indignation of the former allies, and they once again wrote to correct the bullet.
Things soon got back on track: the focus of controversy changed from whether the prince could leave the palace to a dispute between gentlemen and villains and the investigation of the remnants of the eunuchs.
All kinds of black materials have been baked, once again refreshing the lower limit of undisciplined, so that the emperor has lost his good impression of the officials he once trusted.
Liu Ruoyu was dressed in a fire man costume and carried an ebony sign, pretending to pick vegetables outside Shangshan Prison.
People kept coming to say hello and throwing down small boxes, handkerchiefs, and bamboo tubes...... These are all common means used by internal supervisors to deliver messages. After Liu Ruoyu received these news, he inspected them one by one, investigated and corroborated each other, summarized them into a document, and personally handed them over to Song Hongye, who was waiting outside the palace.
Zuihou passed through Song Hongye's hand and handed it over to the prince.
