Chapter 468: The Man of the Zen Position

"The emperor wants a Zen throne, not a royal family, nor a living prince. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he smiled and squinted at the four cabinet ministers sitting below, as if he had a big secret hidden in his heart.

He also knew in his heart that once he said the person who was appointed by the emperor in the edict of the Zen throne, it would definitely surprise the four cabinet ministers.

There may even be a dissenting statement.

After all, this edict of the Zen throne is not what the emperor meant, let alone the successor of the Zen throne.

It's not a royal family, and it's not a prince.

This really made the four cabinet ministers a little nervous.

In their minds, they didn't understand that the emperor was going to take the throne at such a young age, although they didn't understand it very well.

But the successors to the throne, these four cabinet ministers, have always thought that they should be selected from among the royal family, or from among some living princes.

The Ming Dynasty is the country of the Zhu family.

If you don't choose from the royal family of the Zhu family, where do you choose from.

With doubts, the slightly young cabinet minister spoke: "Duke Wei, although the old minister doesn't understand why the emperor has the idea of Zen at such a young age, but there is one point, the old minister is very puzzled, the person who is in the Zen position is not selected from a living prince, nor is it a royal family, who will it be?" ”

The gray-haired cabinet minister also questioned: "Duke Wei, it stands to reason that the emperor should not have the heart of Zen at such a young age." ”

The white-haired cabinet minister thought for a moment and said, "Duke Wei, but the emperor is tired of life in the palace and has the heart to leave the palace?" ”

This idea is somewhat understandable.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the most peculiar and special dynasty in the history of the feudal dynasty of the Central Plains.

In this dynasty, the emperor was very aggrieved and capricious.

From the time they ascended the throne to their deaths, they never went to court for a day, and they have always been obsessed with the art of alchemy and cultivation.

Yes, they like to strike iron.

For example, Zhu Youxiao likes to be obsessed with carpenters all his life.

And some, there could have been 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the concubines around them were like clouds, but they loved one woman alone, and the two stayed together for a lifetime.

It can be said that most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not look like an emperor.

It's not that the current emperor wants a Zen position, it's not incomprehensible, it's just a little unbelievable.

......

The old cabinet minister nodded, agreeing with the white-haired cabinet minister beside him.

It's just that the old cabinet minister feels that the most important thing now is not the question of why the emperor is on the throne.

After all, this emperor has never taken care of the government.

Whether the Zen position is Zen or not, for the imperial court and for the Jiangshan Sheji, it doesn't matter.

The main thing is, who will be the next successor to the throne.

This will cause turmoil in the Ming Dynasty.

The old cabinet minister suddenly became clear, vaguely aware of something, but just held back the thoughts in his heart, and looked at Wei Zhongxian with somewhat cloudy eyes.

And Wei Zhongxian put his hand on the armrest of the Taishi chair, patted it, and said: "As for why the emperor took up the idea of Zen at such a young age, the old man is not too clear. ”

"However, the old man can be sure that the emperor is very tired of life in the palace and tired of the emperor's identity ......."

After a pause, Wei Zhongxian looked at the four cabinet ministers in front of him.

"Therefore, the emperor intends to give the throne to the Empress Dowager Yi'an, that is, the emperor's mother."

......

"What?"

"Zen is located in the Empress Dowager Yi'an."

"Holy Queen?"

Among the four cabinet ministers, except for the elderly cabinet minister, who was calm and steady, he did not stand up in shock, and the other three cabinet ministers all stood up from their respective Taishi chairs.

The face is incredible.

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said quietly: "Yes, the emperor wants to place the throne in the queen mother." ”

The three cabinet ministers who stood up were speechless for a moment.

The old cabinet minister stood up and said, "Duke Wei, but the Holy Queen is a female generation after all, and the Emperor Zen is located in the Holy Queen, isn't it too hasty?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said unbelievably: "Hasty? Where is it sloppy, this is the emperor's original intention. ”

At this time, the other three cabinet ministers said one after another.

"Yes, Duke Wei, this will be opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China."

"And six departments, three divisions ......."

"Zen is located in the Holy Queen, and there will definitely be damage to the virtue of the Holy Queen among the people, and there will be unethical remarks about the Holy Queen."

......

Zen is located in Yi'an Empress Dowager Zhang Yan, at first Wei Zhongxian was also puzzled, why the throne of Zen was given to a woman.

However, this is Li Mu's decision, no matter how hasty it is, it can only be so.

He was just an old slave, and he couldn't refute the Lord's decision, and he didn't dare to refute it.

Moreover, he also has to help to make this Zen edict carry out.

The only good thing is that in the past ten years, whether it is in the court or at the local level, there are many officials who have the Queen Mother in their hearts.

Listening to the remarks of the three cabinet ministers, Wei Zhongxian was angry in his heart, and patted the armrest of the Taishi chair with anger, enduring the pain in his hands.

Glancing at the four cabinet ministers who stood up in front of him, he said: "Oppose, hasty, the six ministries, and the three divisions do not agree, and the people will slander the Queen Mother's holy virtue." ”

"The old man is here to tell you, why the emperor wants the throne and the queen mother."

"The Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty can ascend to the throne, why can't the Queen Mother now?"

"In the past ten years, it has been the Queen Mother who has been in charge of the government, handling national affairs, and presiding over large and small court meetings, what is the difference between her and the emperor, why has she become a woman who can't take the throne now."

"There are also people who slander the Queen Mother's holy virtues, are your four cabinet ministers already blind, go and see, not to mention that the Queen Mother in the capital has given birth to Buddhas in all families, the Ming Dynasty recites the Queen Mother's kindness, how many good people read the Queen Mother, and how many people offer the Queen Mother as a living Bodhisattva at home."

"Let's see, will the people slander the Queen Mother's holy virtues?"

......

The four cabinet ministers looked at the emotional Wei Zhongxian, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Duke Wei, calm your anger, we don't have such intentions. ”

Wei Zhongxian suppressed his excitement, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and after calming down, he said: "There is one more thing to inform the cabinet, that is, the general is back, and he is in the palace at this time, and the general also knows that the emperor wants to take the throne, and expresses his support." ”

"For this reason, the general who has just returned obeyed the emperor's will, transferred the brocade clothes to guard the wolf and the cavalry to return to Beijing quickly, and the turmoil of the Zen throne has been determined."

"At the same time, at the same time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which is firmly guarding the Beijing Division, will enter a state of combat readiness, in case someone deliberately plots rebellion when the Zen position is held."

"Therefore, the emperor's edict on the throne has become a fact, and the cabinet can only do it according to the emperor's wishes, regardless of whether the cabinet, the six ministries, and the three divisions agree or not."

"The Zen throne and the holy decree of the Queen Mother will be announced to the world in the near future."

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian ignored the four cabinet ministers, and left directly with the entourage of Dongchang.
