Chapter 341: Exhortation
"Listening to Lord Xu's words, should this king release the emperor, so that the country will have a lord?" After these ministers finished speaking, Chu Hongze said slowly, and there was no trace of unseriousness in his tone.
"This ...... This is not good, the character of the abolished emperor is not suitable to sit in the position of the ninety-five supreme at all, that is irresponsible to the people! When Lord Xu heard this, he hurriedly retorted, for fear that Chu Hongze would release Chu Hongchen in the next second, which would be the worst thing.
"Okay, then Lord Xu, tell me, if you don't release the emperor, what other way can you do?" Although Chu Hongze has an idea about that position in his heart, he also understands that this kind of thing cannot be said.
must let those ministers say, and then reluctantly agree, so that the ministers will feel that he is responsible, responsible for the people, and can be more justifiable, otherwise he will really become the chaotic minister and thief who usurped power and seized the throne as Chu Hongchen said?
Moreover, if you talk about this matter again in the future, you can also retreat safely, after all, you have to pay attention to a famous teacher in the war, and yesterday he caused a palace change It was already a last resort, so we must be cautious in dealing with this matter today.
"Naturally, there is a way, but I don't know if His Royal Highness King Rui can agree?" Lord Xu said slowly, all the ministers knew what Lord Xu would say, and they all set their eyes on Chu Hongze.
"What kind of way, if this king can do it, then this king is naturally obliged." Chu Hongze waited for this sentence, and was faintly excited in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and he still looked calm on the surface.
"That's the way to do it...... His Royal Highness King Rui can ascend the throne, so that the people can have a Ming monarch, and now the situation in the court is also clear to the prince, the abolition of the emperor is not virtuous, and it will never come out again, only the prince ascending the throne is the best way. Lord Xu knelt down at once, and this sentence was so generous and powerful that many ministers followed suit.
"I am willing to ask His Royal Highness King Rui to ascend the throne, so that the people will have a Ming King!"
All the ministers knelt down one after another, shouting in unison.
"This ...... I'm afraid this is not appropriate! Chu Hongze looked embarrassed and wanted to help Lord Xu up.
But Lord Xu refused to get up, and the other ministers didn't even want to get up.
"Why is it inappropriate, you are also a prince, you have a chance to ascend the throne, you have no quarrel with the world, it was the plan of the abolished emperor that gave up the position to him, but what the abolished emperor did is really unbearable, and you are the emperor in the hearts of the people."
"Yes, if you don't agree, the old ministers will not be able to kneel in this hall." All the ministers also followed, their words were sincere, and they looked like Chu Hongze would kneel down if he didn't agree to them.
"Your Royal Highness King Rui, you can agree, we don't care, but Lord Xu is old now, and his body can't stand it!" Lord Zhang persuaded on the side.
Lord Xu is as steady as Mount Tai, and he doesn't move, if Chu Hongze doesn't agree, I'm afraid that he will really be unable to kneel.
Chu Hongze pretended to be embarrassed and walked back and forth a few steps, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then made up his mind.
"Lord Xu, please start first, if I do something wrong in the future, I hope that Lord Xu can give me more advice, and I also want the supervision of your adults."
As soon as Lord Xu heard this, he instantly understood, and his heart was suddenly happy, so he took Chu Hongze's hand and slowly stood up, and a rare smile appeared on his old face, "King Rui...... No, what is the emperor saying, the emperor is extremely smart, blessed the world, the old minister will bow to death in the future! ”
The ministers also stood up with joy.
"Since the emperor has agreed, let's quickly choose an auspicious day for His Majesty to ascend the throne." Lord Xu asserted.
The other ministers naturally agreed, and Chu Hongze did not speak, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
"Your Majesty, this matter of ascending the throne can be done slowly, but the matter of the frontier can't wait!" Lord Zhang was admonishing on the side, and when he thought of the affairs of this Xinjiang, he felt anxious.
Hearing this, the other ministers also frowned, this matter is very tricky, and it is indeed an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with, after all, the people in the frontier are still in dire straits, how can these ministers be safe and worry-free.
"Since I have promised Lord Xu to sit in this position, it is my duty to do these things."
Chu Hongze's appearance was magnificent, which made many ministers feel inexplicably relieved, and they couldn't help but admire.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"
"With the emperor here, it is really a blessing for the people of the whole world." Seeing Chu Hongze like this, Lord Xu said very respectfully.
"Lord Xu, you are now old, go home and rest first, and I will take care of the rest with the ministers, so don't worry." Chu Hongze bowed respectfully to Lord Xu, affectionate and serious.
"I can't help it, I can't help it." Lord Xu hurriedly helped Chu Hongze, and he was indeed very comforted in his heart, it seemed that he had not seen the wrong person.
Emperor Xian, His Royal Highness King Rui has ascended the throne, and your spirit in the sky can rest in peace.
"Since the emperor is so sympathetic to Weichen, Weichen will not let the emperor worry, Weichen will go back to rest, if the emperor has something, he can summon Weichen at any time." After Lord Xu bowed to Chu Hongze, he was helped out by Lord Zhang, and he was completely relieved.
"Your Majesty, the frontier matter can't wait." The general clenched his fists and said, with an anxious look on his face.
"I know we can't wait, but we can't act rashly until we have a countermeasure." Chu Hongze rubbed his brows, knowing that this matter was not so simple.
"Retreat from the court, the general stays, and discuss the frontier affairs together." Chu Hongze waved his hand and said.
"Yes, the ministers are leaving." The ministers knew that they couldn't intervene in this matter, so they could only discuss it between the general and Chu Hongze.
"General, come with me." After the ministers were finished, Chu Hongze took the general to the study.
"General, what do you think about this? What should we do now? After entering the study, Chu Hongze began to discuss with the general.
"Your Majesty, this frontier attack is extremely fierce, as if there is no one in the country to bully me, the minister thinks that it is necessary to beat him back fiercely, and let them know that they know the power of our Longteng Country, otherwise they really think that our Longteng Country is weak and can be bullied." The general hesitated for a while before expressing his opinion, and every word was to promote the national prestige.
Don't look at this general, although he is extremely brave on the battlefield, he lacks tactics and is simple-minded, which makes Chu Hongze feel a little headache.
"That'...... What does Your Majesty think? The general looked at Chu Hongze's expression was wrong, and asked cautiously, this emperor has been unpredictable since ancient times, and he has just come into contact with this new emperor, so he really doesn't know his thoughts, if he accidentally says something wrong, it will be over.
He just wants to die on the battlefield, but he doesn't want to die here, how aggrieved!
"This matter must not be so reckless, there must be a strategic approach." Chu Hongze did not directly point out the general's weaknesses, hoping that this would make the general think about his own shortcomings, after all, good generals are hard to find, and he hopes that his generals can be both wise and brave.
"This ......" asked him to use his brain, which was still so difficult for the general.
Here, Chu Hongze was discussing the frontier with the general in the palace, and Wen Ruyi was bored reading a book at Lord Zhang's house.
"The princess is here?" A voice came from outside the door, it was the voice of Mrs. Zhang asking the maid.
"I'm here, Madame has something to say." Wen Ruyi heard it, so she let Mrs. Zhang in.
"Princess, it's a good thing, no, I should call you the queen mother now." Mrs. Zhang's face was about to burst into laughter, and she was about to kneel down to say goodbye.
Hearing this, Wen Ruyi naturally understood, it seems that Chu Hongze has successfully subdued Chu Hongchen and is about to ascend the throne.
"Madam, what are you doing, by all means, this matter is also because of the help of Lord Zhang to go so smoothly, we should be grateful to Lord Zhang." Seeing this, Wen Ruyi hurriedly helped Mrs. Zhang and did not let Mrs. Zhang kneel for herself.
As an independent woman in the new century, Wen Ruyi has always been a little unaccustomed to the custom of kneeling at every turn of the ancients, not to mention that Chu Hongze has not yet ascended the throne, so she naturally can't mess up the etiquette first, so as not to be criticized in the future.
"No, the queen mother, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, this must be kneeling." Mrs. Zhang's attitude is very resolute, although Wen Ruyi is not used to it, but in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, etiquette is the most important, anyway, etiquette cannot be abolished.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was so resolute, Wen Ruyi knew that it was useless for her to stop her, after all, it would still be like this when they met in the future.
Thinking of this, Wen Ruyi didn't hold on anymore.
"Mrs. Zhang, although there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, but in my heart, Mrs. Zhang and Lord Zhang are both the right-hand men of His Royal Highness, and there is no need to make such a big gift." Although Wen Ruyi didn't continue to stop it, she still said what she thought in her heart.
"Why don't you go out for a walk with me?"
Recently, Wen Ruyi has been staying at Mr. Zhang's house, this is because Chu Hongze has instructed that she can't leave at will before the big event is decided, in order not to affect Chu Hongze's great cause, Wen Ruyi is naturally very obedient.
And now, the big thing has been decided, Wen Ruyi is about to be suffocated for this time, and pulled Mrs. Zhang up and said.
"Of course, this is a blessing for concubines." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly got up and helped Wen Ruyi, with a smile on her face.
"Someone, prepare the carriage." Since Wen Ruyi had a request, Mrs. Zhang naturally arranged everything on the side.
The two walked out of the courtyard together, but faintly, Mrs. Zhang walked half a step behind Wen Ruyi, Wen Ruyi understood in her heart that this was the ancient rule, and she didn't say anything.
