Chapter 120: Old Cheng is serious
"Boss, the lower officials think that they are talking about the king in private, but they are afraid that it will violate the way of the ministers."
Li Dongyang laughed dryly and said, "You, you, are you still so cautious, the old man asked you, how is King Yong?"
Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "When King Yong was in Beijing, he liked gold blacksmiths, and his reputation was not very good, but after he was in Huzhou, he took action several times to sue for the people, and last year's flood, King Yong exempted 200,000 acres of land rent, what a benevolence and righteousness, and also funded the governance of Taihu Lake, just for the people to no longer suffer from floods, how can they afford the title of a virtuous king."
Li Dongyang sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that there are too few virtuous kings like Daming......
Yang Tinghe nodded and thought deeply, to put it bluntly, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are all cancers, not to mention the virtuous king who is the master of the people and puts the people in his heart, if he can harm some people less, the people in the domain will burn high incense and worship God to repay their wishes.
Li Dongyang continued: "Emperor Zhengde has a temperament, is tired of the government, likes martial arts, loves tigers and leopards, and has many absurd things, which is far from the appearance of the Ming monarch that my famous religion expects, and he sits on the throne, which may be a blessing or a curse for the Ming Dynasty."
"What do you mean?"
Li Dongyang shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "However, King Yong likes Jin Tie, Xing Miscellaneous Studies, and can open a school in the palace of Huzhou to teach children mathematics, craftsmanship, and physics, chemistry, but abandon the learning of my famous teachings, the old man feels that if Yongwang ascends the throne, I am afraid that he will flourish in miscellaneous studies, and the situation of my famous teachers will be extremely difficult at that time......
"What your lord said is that now that His Majesty is missing, he will let King Yong supervise the country, and if His Majesty does not appear in a year, then King Yong will be on the throne, this is a great righteousness, how can it be stopped?"
"Block?" Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Blocking can't be stopped, otherwise you and I will be chaotic ministers and thieves, for today's plan, there is only one way to let King Yong supervise the country first, and there is no other way."
"Your Majesty is not looking for it?" Yang Tinghe felt that he should still find Zhu Houzhao's whereabouts first, and if he really couldn't find it, it would not be too late to let Yongwang supervise the country.
"You will never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and in the same way, if Your Majesty insists on escaping, where will you find his trace?" Li Dongyang smiled and said: "Is it possible to send out three major battalions to wipe out the capital?" Even if you really do this, then the old man assumes that His Majesty is hiding in the residence of King Yong now, and you dare to lead troops to search King Yong's place? ”
"This ...... The lower officials did not dare. Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Shoufu means that the Holy Lord is now hiding in the Yongwang Mansion?"
Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "The old man didn't say that, but eight or nine are not far from ten, how important the change of the throne is, even if he likes to play around today, but he will not joke about the ancestors' Jiangshan Sheji, so the old man thinks that King Yong probably knows about this matter, as for how the two brothers reached an agreement, in the final analysis, it is also a matter between their brothers, and it is useless for you and my ministers to investigate deeply."
"Xiaguan understands." Yang Tinghe took a deep breath and said, "Then the lower official will go to find King Yong to declare His Majesty's will to let him be imprisoned?"
"There's no hurry." Li Dongyang shook his head again and said: "Your Majesty has just disappeared, even if there is a will, there is no reason to immediately let Yongwang supervise the country, whether you should find it or find it, you still have to look for it, you have to make a show that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and the people can take a look, so that the Yongwang Jianguo can be justified."
"The boss is far-sighted, and the subordinate sighs to himself."
"Jiefu is too modest, your talent is well known to the government and the opposition, if it is not difficult to become a generation of famous ministers in time, the future achievements will inevitably be above the old man, the old man is seriously ill, and he is already powerless in government affairs.
"The boss praises falsely, and the lower officials dare not be ashamed."
"Go ahead. Li Dongyang waved his hand and said: "The throne of King Yong is already a certainty, how my famous sect can create more glory in this storm depends on you."
Yang Tinghe left, and the news that Emperor Zhengde escaped on his wedding night still spread all over the streets and alleys like wings.
However, the cabinet was as calm as ever, the imperial court was still operating in an orderly manner, and it seemed that the disappearance of Emperor Zhengde and the vacant throne were not a big deal for the ministers at all.
The only thing that was a little noisy was the Royal Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang is in a very bad mood now, the eldest son picked his son and ran away, as if the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor was not as good as a piece of shit in his eyes, and the younger son refused to marry his cousin Zhang Shaohua, although he did not explicitly refuse, but the meaning between the lines was also obvious.
Even if he marries Zhang Shaohua, at most, he will ignore her in Yongwangfu, and even reveal that he will not be happy with Zhang Shaohua for the rest of his life!
Empress Dowager Zhang matched Zhu Houwei and Zhang Shaohua in order to make the connection between the Zhang family and the Ming royal family closer, so as to seek wealth for the Zhang family for a hundred or even hundreds of years.
Now Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't understand two things, one is why the eldest son wants to run, being the emperor is really so uncomfortable for him? The second is why the second son is unwilling to marry Zhang Shaohua, Shaohua is indeed a little willful, but once he marries a wife, his temperament will naturally converge, and it is so difficult to accept, so that in order to resist, he even does not hesitate to bear the reputation of unfilial piety?
The newly promoted queen Xia is washing her face with tears every day these days, which is understandable, not to mention that she is the queen, even if it is a folk woman who marries, her husband runs away on the wedding night, it is also an unbearable blow, if it is replaced by a more fierce woman, I am afraid that she will commit suicide by hanging the beam long ago.
Empress Dowager Zhang is angry, Empress Xia is sad, but it is none other than Zhang Yong and Qian Ning who are panicked because of Zhu Houzhao's escape and disappearance!
The two of them, one in the inner court and the other in the outer court, are both Zhu Houzhao's absolute henchmen, but now that the emperor has run away, the henchmen are still confidants!
As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, especially for eunuchs, any new monarch ascending the throne will inevitably appoint his own henchmen and eunuchs, and the reason why the eunuchs of the previous dynasty can be powerful is entirely because of their own master, and now that the master is gone, it is equivalent to the sky above his head falling.
The new monarch succeeded to the throne, and the eunuchs of the previous dynasty were either marginalized, or went out of the palace to live for the rest of their lives, of course, the most normal thing is to go to the mausoleum, after all, the master served when he was alive, and the master could not be taken care of when he died.
But now the problem is that Emperor Zhengde is not dead, and Zhang Yong has no place to guard the tomb even if he wants to guard it......
As for Channing......
Zhu Houzhao accepted him as his righteous son and let him take charge of Jinyiwei, it can be said that the honor has reached the limit, but now that the emperor is gone, his honor is the rootless Ping, and the so-called prince has become a joke.
What made Qian Ning even more frightened was the matter of the Su Huai Art Museum, when King Yong asked Yan Tianyuan to spread the word, it was naturally not worth offending King Yong for a mere scale of gold, so Qian Ning simply put a scale of gold, but King Yong also asked him not to embarrass Su Huai Art Museum......
