Chapter 763: Compromise

"You don't need to worry, I'm Shousuke, and I'm the main responsibility for this matter. Today, I asked the emperor to pay attention to the court and no longer pay attention to the turmoil of the court. Yang Tinghe looked at everyone's sad appearance, so he smiled and took the initiative to stand up.

He is also nearly seventy years old, and it is time to return to his hometown. As soon as he said this, everyone was silent. This is the best result, in fact, even if he doesn't take the initiative, after this incident, I am afraid that he will be degraded.

"We are also responsible for this matter, how can we let Yang Ge Lao be held responsible. The old man is old, and he feels that his energy is not as good as before recently, and he also wants to go home and make fun of his grandson, so he will go with Yang Gelao. Liang Chu also stood up and spoke.

Jiang Mian sighed and wanted to express his position, but was stopped by Yang Tinghe. "Elder Jiang Ge, if the three of us leave together, then the political operation of this cabinet will be hindered, you are the youngest, it is better to stay." "If the entire cabinet is replaced, the three new scholars will definitely reverse some of their previous initiatives, and not only will their previous efforts be reduced to ashes, but even the country will be affected. There must be one person left behind to keep their gains.

"So...... The old man will work hard for a few more years. Hearing this, Jiang Mian also felt reasonable, so he nodded and agreed. In fact, when it comes to their status, what their official position is, it can no longer affect them, and they are also nearly seventy years old, and they are not greedy for this official position.

Even if they abandon their officials and go home now, few people dare to offend them. Because of the years in the cabinet, their influence has penetrated into all aspects, and there are their protégés and former officials everywhere, in a word, the new cabinet has to be scrupulous.

"Let's go, the emperor asked me to wait to go to the Taihe Palace, don't delay the hour. After talking for a while, Yang Tinghe looked out the window, and then took the lead out of the room and walked outside.

Although he lost this struggle, his waist still stood very straight, as if he had just joined the cabinet. Jiang Mian and the two looked at each other, then shook their heads and followed closely behind.

When a few people entered the Taihe Palace, they were surprised to find that the emperor was already sitting on the dragon chair. This is not in line with the usual etiquette of the court, according to reason, it should be the ministers who greet the emperor, how can the emperor wait for them here. But at this time, no one cares about it.

Because several elders of the cabinet had been in the palace all along, they were the first to come, and when they saw that there were no other ministers in the palace, they came forward, knelt on the ground, and made a great salute respectfully.

Usually at this time, the emperor will let them get up. But today, the emperor didn't say a word, just sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.

One after another, the rest of the ministers also came, and when they saw the three elders kneeling on the ground, they also quickly knelt down, and soon the entire hall was kneeling on the ground.

Today's events, they are not unheard. Most of the civil officials in the court are attached to the three elders, and if they really want to be guilty, they all have to be implicated.

However, they really can't be blamed for this. First, Zhang Xiong was killed for no reason, and then they couldn't contact the Queen Mother, so they felt that there was an eighty percent chance that the emperor was controlled by thieves. But who would have expected that the emperor was not only fine, but also appeared in front of everyone alive.

But the crux of the matter is that if the emperor is fine, then why kill Zhang Xiong by framing him, no matter how strong the eunuch is, he is just a slave of the emperor, and if the emperor wants to kill, it is just a matter of one sentence.

and the Queen Mother, the emperor and the Queen Mother are the closest, and they should not do anything like house arrest for the Queen Mother. Such bizarre things have already confused everyone's minds, even if they fail now, they don't know why they failed.

Seeing that everyone had already arrived, Zhu Houzhao's eyes swept over everyone's bodies. At this moment, everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"Hehe, you Aiqing, it's really bold. Zhu Houzhao spoke slowly, his voice was very low, low to the point of depression. In the past, if he wanted to fight, he would speak in a hysterical tone, but that anger could only be superficial, and it could not deter these civil officials at all. But today, everyone heard Zhu Houzhao's annoyance and ...... Killing Intent.

"Wechen is guilty. Yang Tinghe put his head on the ground and said loudly. And the rest of the people also echoed it, claiming guilt.

"Oh, where is the sin?" Zhu Houzhao sneered, and his voice came out loudly, reverberating throughout the room.

Yang Tinghe didn't speak, just quietly lowered his head. He has lost in this struggle, but he has a clear conscience, everything he does is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't allow himself to be humiliated like a loser, even if that person was the emperor.

Perhaps, this is the pride of a literati. You can also say pedantic.

"Zhang Yong!" Zhu Hou looked at Yang Tinghe's performance like this, his face changed a few times, and then he shouted loudly and shouted at Zhang Yong beside him.

Zhang Yong bowed and knelt to the side, waiting for the emperor's will.

"Depose all the generals of more than 1,000 households in the 3,000 battalions, and the leader Dong Bin will die. Also, you give me a thorough investigation, among the guards, whoever has colluded with the foreign ministers to open the noon gate will be executed as long as it is verified to be true. Zhu Houzhao was really angry at the moment, and said to Zhang Yong.

"The slave obeys. Zhang Yong lowered his head, and the leader stood aside. However, there was a smile in his eyes. If the emperor can hand over this matter to him, then his power will be expanded several times at once.

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that he is getting old, and he hopes to return home. When Zhu Houzhao gave the order, Yang Tinghe's face was as usual and he didn't react much. It was only when he had finished his order that he spoke out loud.

He is actually a compromise in a change of direction, when Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Liu Jian stepped down one after another under the persecution of Liu Jin, and he Yang Tinghe carried the expectations of the three cabinet elders and entered the cabinet. He united with Gu Dayong and others to defeat Liu Jin in one fell swoop, and truly grasped the power of the Ming Dynasty.

When he said this, he planned to give up his position and let the emperor arrange his own people to enter the cabinet. Politics itself is the product of compromise, and he also hopes that the emperor can see it for his sake, not to kill too much, and he doesn't want too many innocent people to be implicated.

At the same time, Yang Tinghe also sighed in his heart that the emperor's methods were becoming more and more ruthless. Unconsciously, the ignorant boy has become a real king. Set a trap at will, and and others in the palm of your hand.
