Chapter 496: Emperor Collapse II

Qiu Ju returned to Zhengde's side. told Zhengde what Wang Qiong said.

Zhengde's heart rose and fell.

Maybe Zhengde is sick, his body is weak, and even his heart is weak. If it had been before, Zhengde would never have listened to this kind of advice. But today he felt it made sense. Zhengde said secretly: "That's true, if I have a case, Daming must have an heir." If I don't settle this matter, Brother Huang may not be able to ascend the throne one day. I discussed with Mr. Yang first, and all I needed was Mr. Yang's nod. I can rest assured. ”

In Zhengde's heart, the two things Wang Qiong said are fundamentally the same thing.

Wang Yangming is the person left by Zhengde to assist King Yong, and King Yong is Zhengde's preferred heir. Wait for the day when King Yong ascends the throne. Wang Yangming will naturally get important. In Zhengde's view, Yang Tinghe nodded with great possibility. Without him, because Yang Shen is the master of King Yong, and when King Yong ascends the throne, Yang Shen will be able to repeat the good story of Yang Ting and Auxiliary Zhengde, so that the two generations of the Yang family have a high status, and they are above the British family.

This kind of public and private matter, Zhengde will not refuse to come to Yang Tinghe.

If Zhengde wants to do it, he will do it immediately, and he will summon Yang Tinghe. said: "Mr. Yang, I am in poor health and have to think about the major affairs of national unification. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Yang Tinghe was simply surprised. He took off his crown and bowed, and said: "Your Majesty is sage, and the minister hopes that Your Majesty will be the prince for a long time, and now your Majesty has a word, and the minister will die without regrets." ”

Since several years ago, Yang Tinghe began to play the matter of raising the sect's family in the palace, it can be said that it has been a cliché for several years, and today he has finally been recognized by Zhengde, how can he not be happy in his heart. He said: "The minister must be selected, King Yi, King Heng, King Shou, King Jing." King Rong, the son of the Xingwang family, among which the sage entered Beijing. ”

Yang Tinghe's choice is exquisite.

Zhengde's father, Emperor Hongzhi, was the only son of Zhengde who survived, so if he wanted to choose a side branch, he had to choose from the heirs of Emperor Chenghua. But some of the sons of Emperor Chenghua have no children. The rest are these princes.

However, when Yang Tinghe said it, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored King Yong. Because King Yong's lineage is also after Emperor Chenghua, he has the same grandfather as Zhengde, and he is also among the nearest close branches.

However, Zhengde suddenly coughed violently, ignoring this fatal detail. Because Yang Tinghe is in charge of the world, it is definitely not that he can't remember how many princes there are in the line of Emperor Chenghua, but he is deliberately denying and denying the inheritance of King Yong.

After a while, Zhengde recovered from the fierce cough and said, "You don't have to choose the children of each family." From my point of view, King Yong's expansion of land for thousands of miles, and the entry of Nanyang into the territory of the Ming Dynasty have contributed to the community, and they have to be rewarded. If the sky is not good, and I have no children in this life, it will be passed on to King Yong, and it will not be regarded as living up to the gods of Sheji, the ancestors and the ancestors. ”

When Yang Tinghe heard this, his heart trembled, and he said secretly: "What are you afraid of, what are you coming." ”

As a high-ranking official at the temple level, figuring out Zhengde's mind can be a compulsory course, so Zhengde's unusual concern for King Yong has already made Yang Tinghe feel very tricky. Therefore, when Yang Tinghe said the candidate, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored the Yongwang lineage, but he never expected that Zhengde would really choose Yongwang.

In an instant, Yang Tinghe fell into a situation where he could not advance or retreat.

Yang Tinghe knew that as long as he nodded, he didn't have to be top with Zhengde, and with the relationship between Yang Shen and King Yong. Maybe the wealth of the Yang family can last for several generations. Rest with the country. In the Song Dynasty, Han Qi didn't just strive for the storage position, and won the reputation of a two-built society, which also made Xiangzhou Han's famous name in the Song Dynasty. The Yang family is not necessarily inferior to the Xiangzhou Han family.

But Yang Tinghe didn't want to.

He remembered Emperor Hongji.

To be honest, Emperor Hongzhi and Emperor Zhengde are not like each other at all.

Emperor Hongzhi is the perfect image of the emperor in the hearts of Wenchen scholars, and he is a typical example of ruling the world with a vertical arch. He had a good relationship with the scholars, and it can be said that he was like a stream, or he could be said to have no opinions. At the mercy of civil officials. It's good for the courtiers. Respect for both the ministers and the courtiers. On the one hand, Emperor Hongzhi left a group of capable courtiers to Zhengde, and left Emperor Zhengde with a large group of civil officials.

If Zhengde is not smart, but he is just a mediocre talent, he will be fine.

But Zhengde is very smart, he is an only son, he was born a prince, and he was born to inherit the throne as an emperor. Where is this with a golden key, it is simply born with a jade seal. Therefore, he saw where the root knot was, and just after Hongzhi's death, he immediately cleaned up the occupation of the capital camp.

The problem of occupying the military service in the Beijing camp is to use the soldiers of the Beijing camp as labor service. When Chengzu established the city of Beijing, 300,000 Beijing camps were used as labor, but it was temporary, but then this problem became more and more serious, and reached a peak during the Hongzhi Emperor's period. However, during the period of Emperor Hongji, it developed to the point of building private residences for ministers, building temples, and so on. The drills of the Beijing camp could not be maintained at all.

Therefore, Hongzhi is lenient, and morality is strict.

Zhengde decided not to come forward himself, so Liu Jin came forward to rectify the officialdom. It is true that Liu Jin has done evil, but Liu Jin's political transformation is not without positive effects. This is also the reason why no matter who attacked Liu Jin later, Zhengde was dedicated to defending it, but Liu Jin was not the opponent of these Wenchen after all. So Zhengde had to dispose of it.

But from where after, to now, the confrontation between Zhengde and Wenchen has been continuing.

Yang Tinghe understands very well how he got his position. The governance of the world is inseparable from civil officials, and Zhengde also understands this truth, he must not only suppress the power of civilian officials, but also cooperate with them. Yang Tinghe is a very important chess piece of Zhengde, Yang Tinghe is not only Zhengde's master, cronies, but also a civil leader. It is a bridge hub connecting Zhengde and civil officials. Zhengde communicated with civil officials through Yang Tinghe. And the focus of Zhengde is on the establishment of martial arts.

In fact, this is also the practice of Zhengde to avoid the important and light. Zhengde hopes to check and balance civil officials for himself by establishing a strong martial arts and reshaping the Xungui group.

But Zhengde has Zhengde's political ideas, and Yang Tinghe has Yang Tinghe's political ideas.

In Yang Tinghe's view, what Zhengde does is an evil path, Zhengde is not close to them, righteous men and gentlemen, but close to those vulgar martial artists, Zhengde doesn't know that martial arts are chaotic? Not only Yang Tinghe, but also Yang Tinghe and a large number of officials and ministers of Hongzhi all miss the situation of the Hongzhi period, when the monarch and the minister got along.

Yang Tinghe felt that it was his fault that he did not teach Zhengde well. But it is absolutely not allowed, there is an emperor like Zhengde. The biggest reason why Zhengde likes King Yong is that he is like himself. And the biggest reason why Yang Tinghe did not let King Yong ascend the throne was too much like Zhengde. is not an emperor who rules the world in peace and security.

"Your Majesty," Yang Tinghe suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry, but in a short moment, Yang Tinghe thought a lot, and finally made up his mind. Resolutely said: "The minister thinks that King Yong cannot inherit the unification. ”

When Yang Tinghe said this, he felt that the atmosphere immediately became solemn.

"What did you say?" Zhengde was taken aback, he had expected Yang Tinghe to refuse. But then I felt that Yang Tinghe would not refuse, even if he refused, Zhengde had the confidence to persuade, but he never expected that Yang Tinghe would say it so categorically and not leave himself the slightest way back. With his words alone, if King Yong succeeds to the throne in the future, the Yang family will not have any good fruits to eat. “

"Minister, I think King Yong is frivolous, not close to the Holy Learning, and cannot inherit the unification, I hope Your Majesty will choose another good prince." Yang Tinghe slowly calmed down.

Zhengde coughed violently, and while coughing, he stared at Yang Tinghe with his eyes. The eyes of the two met, and all the voices fell silent for a while, only Zhengde coughed heavily. After a long while, Zhengde's coughing strength passed, and Zhengde said slowly: "Frivolous, don't you approach the saint?" I don't know if Mr. Yang is talking about King Yong, or if he is talking about me. ”

This sentence, Zhengde almost shouted out. The eunuchs around him fell to their knees and did not dare to raise their heads.
