Go to Cining Palace......

At this time, everyone understands that the most critical time has come.

Perhaps before a stick of incense, everyone was looking forward to this moment, but now, everyone has become extremely nervous.

It's finally here, the moment that determines everyone's life and death, and every moment that happens next affects their future.

Someone became agitated and clenched his fists.

There are also people with a little worried on their faces, not everyone likes to fight, and not everyone likes to gamble, but everyone knows that no one can be a bystander in this gambling game.

Even if your palms are full of sweat, you have to go all the way with your head.

Yang Tinghe immediately made a decision and said, "The old man will leave now and go to Cining Palace." Who wants to go with you? ”

Zhang Jin said with a few words: "I am willing to go with Yang Gong." ”

Yang Tinghe just nodded, and immediately took a group of people and hurried to Cining Palace.

rushed to Cining Palace, in order to prevent Xu Qian from making a bad move, but he was not worried that the emperor would leave everyone behind after he sobered up and discuss the matter of the edict with Xu Qian.

Without Yang Tinghe's participation, the so-called edict was just a piece of paper, and the effect was not much. In fact, Huang Jin has already done this kind of thing once, and everyone has always hated the eunuch's forgery of holy decrees, so this recital was not drafted by Yang Tinghe himself, and it could not convince the public.

The most important thing at the moment is to convince the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and in this regard, Yang Tinghe is also confident.

He quickly took a group of ministers to Cining Palace, and after ordering someone to report, there were already eunuchs in there to invite them in.

The Empress Dowager Zhang and the Queen Mother are both here, and the two of them seem to be a little dispossessed, obviously although they know that there will be big changes, but when things happen in front of them, these two women still can't do it to the point where they are not shocked by the changes.

Xu Qian sat on one side and didn't say anything.

After Yang Tinghe and the others sat down, they each sat down, looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang, and then looked at the Queen Mother, and no one spoke.

Silence is a kind of statement, if it is endless at this time, it will make people suspicious and do not care about the life and death of the Son of Heaven.

The people present are naturally masters of acting, at least with a bitter melon on their faces, but they still have to make it.

Xu Qian's face was gloomy, and after a long time, he said: "There are some things that should not be said, but also have to be said, Your Majesty is about to go big, and the country cannot be said to be without a king, if God blesses the Ming, Your Majesty will wake up later, and it is best to be able to draft the edict." But everything, you have to plan for the worst, Your Majesty Xià in the past, has always been the prince Zhu Zaiji, and although His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan is young, he has a great fortune, and he must be very noble, so Weichen thinks that the Queen Mother should make a decree and plan as soon as possible, just in case of accidents. ”

None of the ministers made a sound, but some nodded secretly, and some showed dissatisfaction.

At this time, Yang Tinghe didn't come out again, Yang Tinghe coughed, and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan does have a great fortune, and it is naturally unspeakably noble, His Majesty has only one son, and His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan should be the successor." ”

Xu Qian smiled faintly and pursed his lips, knowing that he had something to say, so he didn't interrupt.

Yang Tinghe Zhengse said: "But the monarch's affairs are state affairs, and the two cannot be separated, nor can they be separated, so it is a time of internal and external troubles......

Xu Qian said: "Internal and external troubles, where are the internal and external troubles? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "The Tatars are eyeing each other, the Japanese have not yet been clarified, and there are many friends in the imperial court, isn't this an internal and external trouble?" ”

Yang Tinghe said that there are two sides, but everything has two sides, the same is the Jiajing Dynasty, you can say that he is the best era, you can also say that it is the worst era, if you say at best, it can be said that the emergence of the New Deal has made commerce and trade prosperous, the urban population has increased dramatically, the people's lives have improved, and the annual income has skyrocketed.

But at worst, the prosperity of commerce and trade has made a large number of fields barren, and the labor force in the countryside has been greatly reduced, and for the benefit of the merchants, wars have become more and more frequent, and a large number of people have become cannon fodder, and although the life of the workers in the cities has improved, the physical labor is more arduous than in the countryside, and in many places there are many women and child laborers, and even many people need to work for more than seven hours, and all they get is a few small rations and a few new clothes for the four seasons. At the same time, a large number of rich people and workshop owners are full of money, singing every night.

As A Tale of Two Cities says: This is the best of times, this is the worst of times; This is an age of wisdom, this is an age of stupidity; It's a season of light, it's a season of darkness; This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment; There is everything in front of people, and there is nothing in front of people; People are on the road to heaven, people are walking towards the gates of hell.

Xu Qian is not arrogant enough that his so-called New Deal can benefit everyone, in fact, what the New Deal provides is not a new life, a road that must be walked, but Xu Qian himself cannot guarantee that the New Deal can bring satisfaction to everyone, and it is impossible to appear in a prosperous world.

Therefore, whether it is a prosperous era or a troubled era of internal and external troubles, it is all based on a mouth, Xu Qian can exaggerate his benefits, but Yang Tinghe can still point out countless problems.

At this point, Xu Qian has nothing to refute.

And the Empress Dowager Zhang and the Empress Dowager looked at Yang Tinghe and Xu Qian, obviously they didn't have too many opinions.

Yang Tinghe continued: "At this time, we should focus on the community, if the young lord ascends the throne, it will be detrimental to the country. Weichen's shallow opinion is that he can summon a virtuous vassal king into Beijing to preside over the overall situation, and appoint His Royal Highness King Zhongshan as the crown prince. ”

Sure enough, Xu Qian had already expected that Yang Tinghe had this idea, and now that he finally said his intention, Xu Qian snorted coldly in his heart.

There is indeed a precedent for this kind of thing, but in the precedent, Emperor Yingzong was captured and his younger brother Emperor Daizong succeeded to the throne, and the original meaning of everyone was very clear, that is, after the death of Emperor Daizong, it was the son of Emperor Yingzong who ascended the throne. But having said that, is Dai Zongken? For this reason, the entire imperial court has been in trouble for several years, if it weren't for the coup d'état of Yingzong after that, he took Daizong, the heir of Yingzong, I am afraid that he would not want to enter Beijing for the rest of his life.

Xu Qian said lightly: "If you order the vassal king to enter Beijing, will you be the son of heaven, or will you be the acting government?" ”

Yang Tinghe glanced at the second empress dowager Zhang and said: "If the name is not right, it is not good, the son of heaven should be established, and then the king of Zhongshan should be appointed as the crown prince." ”

Xu Qian smiled: "I don't know who can be the Son of Heaven?" ”

Yang Tinghe was silent, it was taboo to say this sentence in his capacity, but he didn't say it, but someone said that Zhang Jin said: "His Royal Highness King Yi has always been virtuous and can act as an agent." ”

Several other ministers also shook their heads and said: "Brother to brother, it is really a last resort, but the current situation is like this, and it has to be so, Niang Niang is wise, this matter is related to the society, and the overall situation must be the priority." ”

If there is no Xu Qian, the two queen mothers who have no opinions, I am afraid that they have already agreed.

The reason is very simple, the ministers are professionals, at least in the eyes of the two queen mothers, everyone said that if they don't do this, they may not even be able to protect the Ming dynasty, at this time, what will the queen mother of the two palaces think?

The queen mother is obviously unhappy, in the final analysis, the vassal king has nothing to do with her, but Zhu Zaiji is her own grandson, which she knows very clearly.

But the Empress Dowager Zhang, at this time a little moved, she is still quite aware of the righteousness, knowing that what the ministers said is quite reasonable, and she has no personal feelings, whether it is Zhu Zaiji or other vassal kings, in fact, she is a third party attitude, the so-called bystander Qing, she naturally has her own ideas.

Zhu Zaiji ascended the throne, she is still her queen mother, after all, she is not Zhu Zaiji's grandmother, in fact, it doesn't matter much. And the other vassal kings entered Beijing, in fact, the situation was similar to that after the death of Zhengde, although they were also outsiders, but no matter what, as long as they made the decision, people at least remembered this kindness.

Empress Dowager Zhang's situation is actually similar to the current Empress Zhang, Liu Guiren has a son, but Empress Zhang Jian does not, if Liu Guiren's son ascends the throne, then Empress Zhang is not the biological mother of King Zhongshan, and sooner or later she will be put aside. But at this time, if the vassal king enters Beijing, people will be grateful to you, knowing that if you don't plan from it, you can't be the emperor, so for Empress Zhang, instead of letting Liu Guiren's son be the emperor, it is better to give it to others.

The thoughts here are not deep. Every woman in the deep palace knows this.

Empress Dowager Zhang squinted, although she didn't make a sound, nor did she express support, but when she was inadvertent, she nodded.

Yang Tinghe naturally has also paid attention to the attitude of the Empress Dowager Zhang, in fact, he does not expect to be able to say that the Queen Mother can be moved, because the Queen Mother has a personal relationship, what he wants to work hard is to move the Empress Dowager Zhang, although the Empress Dowager Zhang may not be as good as the Empress Dowager in the palace, after all, the Empress Dowager has the support of Jiajing, but the influence of the Empress Dowager in the foreign dynasty is amazing, on the one hand, the world of Jiajing was originally made by the Empress Dowager Zhang to Jiajing, on the other hand, the influence of Emperor Hongzhi is very great, that is, now, many people are missing Emperor Hongzhi, Many people privately compare Jiajing with Emperor Hongzhi, most of them shake their heads, Empress Dowager Zhang is the empress of Emperor Hongzhi, and everyone's nostalgia for Emperor Hongzhi naturally turns to Empress Dowager Zhang.

If at this time, as long as Empress Zhang is willing to draw up a decree, then a matter of qiē can become justified, that is, when Jiajing entered Beijing, it was also a letter written by Empress Dowager Zhang, so Empress Dowager Zhang's attitude is particularly crucial.
