Chapter 323: Crazy and Dead [1 Update]
Jiao Fang glanced at Zhao Yushi, and saluted the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the minister Zhao Yushi cursed the Son of Heaven and had bad intentions!" ”
Saying that, Jiao Fang took a step forward and pointed at Zhao Yushi with a stunned expression: "Zhao Yushi, you actually spied on the privacy of the palace, how did you know that the Son of Heaven was unconscious, and how did you conclude that Your Majesty's life is not long......
Zhao Yushi came back to his senses, shook his head almost instinctively, and said, "Minister...... The minister did not say that His Majesty's life was not long, how could the minister dare to have such an idea! ”
However, Jiao Fang stared at Zhao Yushi and said: "Hmph, you say this in your mouth, I'm afraid that you can't wait for the Son of Heaven to return to heaven as soon as possible, otherwise, the Son of Heaven is in the prime of life, and the queen is pregnant again, and now you are asking the Queen Mother to elect the prince, but the old man wants to ask you, Your Majesty has no children, who do you want to choose as the prince!" ”
Zhao Yushi couldn't help but take a step back, cold sweat couldn't help but ooze out of his forehead, Jiao Fang's words were heart-wrenching, if Zhu Houzhao already had an heir under his knees, then he could also say that he elected Zhu Houzhao's heirs as the future prince.
But the most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao has no heirs at all, and if he wants to elect the prince, where does the candidate come from, needless to say, it is naturally selected from the royal family, but even if he is a descendant of Taizu, it is not the bloodline of today's son, this is a huge problem.
If it is said that the Son of Heaven himself took the initiative to speak, then forget it, after the death of the Son of Heaven, as a courtier, for the sake of the country, he can also choose other people from the royal family as the new monarch, but the premise is that the Son of Heaven has died.
Seeing that Zhao Yushi was accused by Jiao Fang and retreated again and again, cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and at this moment, with a light cough, everyone looked over together.
As a member of the cabinet, Jiang Mian's qualifications are not much worse than Jiao Fanglai's, and there are many officials in the government and the opposition who look forward to it.
Originally, Zhao Yushi was introduced, so that Zhao Yushi was the first to speak, if everything went well, then Jiang Mian would immediately follow up with the Chinese military officials of the dynasty and begin to force the Empress Dowager to agree to them to elect the prince.
But contrary to Jiang Mian's expectations, I thought that Jiao Fang would be a wall watch at this time, but what I didn't expect was that Jiao Fang actually took the initiative to jump out, and he had the posture of beating Zhao Yushi into a great rebel.
Zhao Yushi is a member of their department, but how much impact will it have on their department if Zhao Yushi is convicted by Jiao Fang, just Zhao Yushi's letter imploring the election of the prince is characterized as a great rebellion, so how will they force the palace and how to elect a new monarch.
Therefore, Jiang Mian stood up, and at this time, only he stood up to save the situation.
"Shousuke-sama's words are wrong!"
Jiao Fang turned around slowly, her eyes fell on Jiang Mian, and the corners of her mouth showed a little smile, looking at Jiang Mian and said, "Oh, I don't know if Master Jiang can tell the old man, what is wrong with the old man?" ”
Jiang Mian always felt that Jiao Fang's look at him was a little strange, but Jiang Mian didn't think about it so much, now it can be said that he has to send an arrow, at this time he can only put pressure on the Queen Mother, and the sooner he forces the Queen Mother to agree to elect a new monarch, the better.
Jiang Mian first saluted the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, the old minister has something to say!" ”
The Queen Mother sat there steadily, glanced at Jiang Mian, nodded slightly, and said, "Jiang Ge has something to say, even if he says it bluntly!" ”
After Jiang Mian thanked the Queen Mother, his eyes turned to Jiao Fang, and he arched his hand and said: "Master Jiao, the old man thinks that Zhao Yushi is dedicated to the public and cares about the safety of my Daming Society, why did he become a big rebel in Jiao's mouth?" ”
Jiao Fang chuckled and said, "Oh, in this way, Lord Jiang also wants to ask the Queen Mother to elect the prince?" ”
Jiang Mian looked straight, arched his hand slightly, and said: "The country can't be without a king for a day, the old man naturally hopes that His Majesty can wake up as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation, but His Majesty has been in a coma for many days, and he has not woken up so far. ”
Jiao Fang said slowly: "What Lord Jiang said is not unreasonable, Your Majesty has no heirs under his knees, the old man is curious, who is Lord Jiang going to elect as the future prince?" ”
Suddenly, many people in the court and the central government looked at Jiao Fang and Jiang Mian in unison, except for the core personnel of Jiang Mian and their faction, it can be said that many civil and military personnel present did not know who Jiang Mian would elect.
Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then reacted, shook his head slightly, and said: "How can such a major matter of the country be decided by the old man, and such an important matter as the election of the prince is naturally to ask the opinions of hundreds of officials." ”
Jiao Fang stroked his beard and nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the crowd: "The Son of Heaven is just unconscious, I, as a courtier, don't think about trying to wake up the Son of Heaven, but here we force the Queen Mother to choose a prince, this is not the way of a minister, the matter of electing a prince, forgive the old man who does not agree!" ”
The corners of Jiang Mian's mouth curled slightly and looked at Jiao Fang and said: "Old Jiao Ge, if you can, the old man naturally hopes that Your Majesty is safe and sound, but now Your Majesty has been unconscious for many days, and someone must act for this major event in the court, so it is necessary to choose a prince, even if it is to replace Your Majesty to act in the government, it is also necessary, could it be said that Lord Jiao, as the first assistant of the cabinet, has selfish thoughts?" ”
As soon as these words came out, many officials immediately looked at Jiao Fang.
You must know that Jiang Mian almost didn't directly say that Jiao Fang wanted to monopolize power and be a powerful minister.
Jiao Fang was almost angry by Jiang Mian's words, and pointed at Jiang Mian and said: "Jiang Mian, you actually live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, when will the old man monopolize power, when will he become a powerful minister!" ”
Jiang Mian sneered: "In this case, then Lord Shoufu, why don't you agree to elect the prince, the prince is only the prince, just in case, when the time comes, it will cause chaos in the world, if Your Majesty is safe and sound, then it is naturally all good, but people have good fortune and misfortune, Jiang Mou has the courage to say a big rebellious word, in case His Majesty returns to heaven one day, and there is no owner in the world, what chaos happens, may you Jiao Fang bear the consequences?" ”
"The minister said that he implored the queen mother to elect the prince to determine the country's capital!"
Seeing that Jiang Mian had the upper hand, a group of officials from Jiang Mian's family came out one after another to ask the Queen Mother who was sitting there, and implored the Queen Mother to elect a prince.
Suddenly, there was a lot of darkness, and at least hundreds of civil and military officials stood up and asked the queen mother together, and for a while, there was silence in this hall.
The rest of the officials who were still standing in the queue also looked shocked at this time, looked at their colleagues around them, and then looked at Ma Li, Zhao Yushi, Jiang Mian and other officials who stood up, and many of them couldn't help but show a look of interest.
Whether to stand up and support the election of the prince at this time, or to continue to remain silent and wait for the news of the death of Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, before making a choice, this is indeed a big test for the officials present.
Obviously, standing in line at this time and standing in line after the death of the Son of Heaven is naturally very different, and the status in Xinjun's mind will naturally be different at that time.
More than a dozen officials slowly walked out and joined Jiang Mian and others, but most of the officials in the DPRK and China chose to remain neutral.
But even so, hundreds of officials stood up together, and it also formed a great momentum, if it wasn't for the fact that she knew it, I am afraid that the Queen Mother would have been in chaos.
The Queen Mother sat there silently, without words.
And the Queen Mother's reaction was seen in the eyes of Jiang Mian and others, naturally thinking that the Queen Mother was suppressed by their momentum, so she saw Jiang Mian step forward and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the country is important!" ”
Hundreds of officials behind him immediately said in unison: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to take the country's society as the priority!" ”
The loud voice echoed in the Fengtian Temple, deafening and making people's hearts tremble.
Zhao Yushi, Ma Li and the others flashed with excitement in their eyes, and the Queen Mother was really shocked, except for a little accident at the beginning, it can be said that all this was in their expectations, and then it only depends on how the Queen Mother will react.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh slightly, her eyes slowly swept over the bodies of Jiang Mian and other officials below, and her expression was full of disappointment.
Jiang Mian and the others noticed the change in the Queen Mother's expression, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, after all, what they were doing right now, if the Queen Mother was happy in her heart, it would be a strange thing.
To put it bluntly, they are forcing the palace and forcing the queen mother to cooperate with them in electing the prince.
After a while, I only heard the Queen Mother slowly speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you choose the prince, do you have any candidates in mind?" ”
Jiang Mian and the others heard the Queen Mother speak, only when the Queen Mother was relieved, her face showed excitement, and they heard Zhao Yushi take a step forward and said: "Empress Dowager Qi, since ancient times, the imperial throne has been inherited, if the Son of Heaven has an heir, since he should choose the prince as the prince from among his heirs, if there is no prince, it is naturally a brother and a brother, and the minister thinks that the king of Xingxian is quite virtuous, and he can be the prince of the Ming Dynasty for me!" ”
The officials of Jiang Mian's family have obviously unified their tone, even those officials who are not qualified to know the core inside story will see Zhao Yushi open his mouth at this time, and Jiang Mian bowed slightly, where do they still not know their choice.
After understanding this, all the officials naturally spoke in unison: "King Xingxian can be the prince!" ”
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, although she said that she had expected it in her heart, but when she heard that Jiang Mian and others elected King Xingxian as the prince, she still felt a little angry in her heart.
If it is said that a nephew of Zhu Houzhao was selected from the royal family to succeed under Zhu Houzhao's name, it did not break the inheritance of filial piety.
But these people actually elected the sick King Xingxian, no matter what, King Xingxian is also the brother of Emperor Xiaozong's half-brother, so where is Zhu Houzhao!
