Chapter 227: Thoughts of All Parties
"I know that Zhuqing respects me and pays attention to ethics, but Yuanfu is an emperor, who holds two positions, and is dedicated to state affairs and teaching, I am grateful for Yuanfu's kindness, and I think very much, so I want to go to the ten-mile long pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing to set up a banquet to welcome Yuanfu back to Beijing, and I also ask Zhuqing to understand my heart of fist." Qi Yu's words were earnest.
Those who oppose it will naturally not give up their claims because of a few words from the young emperor, after all, the one sitting above is wearing a dragon robe, but he is not in charge of the dragon power.
But with Qi Yu's words, the people of Zhang Gui's faction stood up one after another to express their support for Qi Yu's move.
Jang Gyu was extremely influential in the DPRK, so these people quickly suppressed all the opposition.
Seeing this, Qi Yu was both pleased that the plan had worked, but he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Look, this is Jang Gyu's energy in the court, as long as they want to, they can easily suppress all the opposing voices......
Qi Yu took a deep breath, cheered up, and made a statement of joy: "Since all the ministers agree, then this matter is decided!" Zhang Aiqing, this matter will be arranged by the Cabinet Associate Rites Department! ”
Zhang Wei gave up his hand.
When the ministers heard this, their faces were different.
It was just that the emperor instructed the cabinet to arrange this matter, although it was too grand, but after all, Zhang Gui was the first assistant of the cabinet, and it was barely reasonable for the cabinet to be in charge; But why do you need to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites?
The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the big and small ceremonies, but whenever the emperor personally orders him to come forward, it is mostly a major event such as suburban worship and welcoming triumphant soldiers, how could he have planned to welcome the courtiers returning to Beijing?
The emperor clearly wants to greet Zhang Gui as a great gift!
That's too much of a favor!
Not to mention those opponents, even the people of Zhang Gui's faction were so surprised and happy that they almost couldn't control their expressions when they heard the words.
After this incident, I am afraid that Zhang Gui's power and prestige will increase, and it will be more difficult to check and balance......
……
As soon as Zhang Wei came to court, he immediately returned to the cabinet to discuss with everyone.
Chen Dan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was also invited.
Chen Dan is a personal elite, and when he arrives at the territory of the cabinet, he naturally will not speak casually, and will push all the affairs to the head of the cabinet, and let them toss it, and the Ministry of Rites is only responsible for implementing the rules.
The etiquette was quickly drafted under the auspices of Zhang Wei and discussed and drawn up by the relevant officials.
Chen Dan saw that the matter had been decided, and asked: "I don't know when Lord Shoufu plans to return to Beijing from Tongzhou?" The Ministry of Rites is also good to arrange in advance. ”
Zhang Wei felt that Chen Dan had asked this with bad intentions, as if he had broken the point that Zhang Gui deliberately delayed returning to the capital to embarrass the emperor.
Although he was very happy that Chen Dan stabbed Zhang Gui in public so much that he was neither soft nor hard, but Zhang Wei did not dare to show anything on his face.
The reason why Feng Yongting's case was successfully concluded was that he contributed a lot, especially deliberately suppressing the news to give the emperor time to deal with Feng Yongting calmly. And he also took advantage of this to further win the emperor's attention.
However, after Zhang Gui returned to Beijing, he would definitely be the first to suspect him - who made him act as the cabinet, and had the most convenience and power to help the emperor deal with this matter?
In order to prevent Zhang Gui from settling accounts with him after returning to Beijing, Zhang Wei has been very well-behaved recently, as long as it is not Qi Yu's edict, he will never take the initiative to ask for it; Even if Qi Yu has an edict, he will deliberately not avoid people in his words and deeds, and behave in a straightforward manner.
Now in front of the core figures of Zhang Gui's faction, Zhang Wei naturally dares not show his true feelings recklessly.
"I think Your Majesty has his own arrangements for this matter, and for the sake of consideration, this official will send someone to Tongzhou to personally report to Lord Shoufu. Your Majesty's grace is extremely great, and if Lord Shoufu knew about it, he would definitely be grateful for the Emperor's grace! ”
Chen Dan nodded, and did not ask any more questions or objections.
And so it was settled.
……
Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li learned of this, nodded with satisfaction: "That's right!" Yuanfu for the monarch and the country, exhausted, painstaking, His Majesty in the suburbs to welcome, in order to show gratitude and value, so that the monarch and the minister are compatible, only then can it be beneficial to the country! ”
Mama Qing smiled and agreed.
……
In Ciqing Palace, when Empress Dowager Chen heard about this, she moved her rosary for a moment, and said to herself: "Your Majesty, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?" ”
Wasn't it still angry for Zhang Gui and Empress Dowager Li some time ago? Why did he respect Zhang Gui so much in the blink of an eye, and he actually led hundreds of civil and military officials to the ten-mile long pavilion in the suburbs to hold a banquet to greet him, and let the Cabinet Associate Etiquette Department handle this matter?
Mama Chen knew that Empress Dowager Chen was just talking to herself while thinking about it, and she didn't need her to answer, so she quietly accompanied the battle.
……
Tongzhou, post station.
Zhang Gui received Zhang Wei's flying pigeon message, and his expression was indistinguishable.
The emperor was so gracious, and personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to the suburbs to set up a banquet to greet him, is it pure-hearted and respectful of teachers, or is it ill-intentioned and has other plans?
Zhang Gui thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand it, and when he was thinking about it, he suddenly thought that the young son of heaven, who was usually as clear as clear water in front of him, now made him guess his intentions clearly!
This in itself is an extremely dangerous sign.
Zhang Gui is not a person who is greedy for power, and the reason why he clutches power and refuses to let go is not for personal selfish desires, but for the implementation of the new policy, in order to eliminate the accumulated evils, so that Daqi will radiate new vitality, and the national fortune will be prosperous and the country will be long.
As the saying goes, "the merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future"!
After a few years of master-apprentice relationship, the young son of heaven should know him, why did he suddenly set up this Hongmen banquet for him?
He taught the emperor to be good at hiding his emotions and not giving his subordinates the opportunity to snoop indiscriminately, but he did not want him to use this trick against him, the teacher......
Zhang Gui's face turned cold.
Whether the emperor's move is sincerely welcomed, or a big feast, you will know when you go!
Zhang Gui dipped his pen in ink, wrote a line of small characters in cursive, tied it to a carrier pigeon, and handed it to his cronies to fly with him.
Seeing the carrier pigeon gradually fly away, turning into a small black dot and finally disappearing, Jang Gyu took a deep breath and returned to the case, waiting intently for the angel to arrive.
Since His Majesty the Emperor wants to personally lead the civil and military ministers to the ten-mile long pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing to greet him, he can't help but send someone to ask him when he will return to Beijing, right?
He sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited to see the show begin!
……
In Kunning Palace, Huang Yi'an served Qi Yu to change his clothes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally led the civil and military ministers to the suburbs to greet him, and he will definitely solve the misunderstanding with Lord Shoufu!" ”
Qi Yu sighed and did not speak.
Was there a misunderstanding between him and Jang Gyu?
If it's a misunderstanding, that's fine!
Huang Yi'an didn't know the inside story, but he still deliberately said so, because he was afraid that he would fall out with Zhang Guijunchen, and the situation would be unfavorable to him!
How can a fledgling eagle be the opponent of an eagle who has been through a hundred battles and occupies a vast forest?
However, the eaglet's sharpness can be suppressed for a while, but it can't be suppressed for a lifetime!
Sooner or later, he will take back his own power and no longer be the echo worm of Lord Shousuke!
