Empress Dowager Zhang set up a banquet and set up a first wine for Zhu Si and Yang Ting and the two monarchs and ministers, and at the same time invited all the members of the cabinet and the two ministers of the court and the central government to accompany her.

Empress Dowager Zhang sits on the main seat, with the emperor's seat on one side.

There are three desks on each side of the bottom, and on the left are Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian and Mao Ji.

The right seat is very particular.

The first person is Sun Jiao, the secretary of the household department, followed by Fei Hong, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and the last seat is Tang Yin.

This is the first time Tang Yin has participated in this kind of high-level palace banquet, and it is actually the Queen Mother and the Emperor who entertain the ministers together, and he Tang Yin can enter the house, and it is also the Empress Dowager Zhang who learned that Tang Yin is deeply valued by the new emperor, and the mining itself is presided over by Tang Yin.

The feast begins.

In terms of wine and food, it is very exquisite, with five kinds of fruits, five kinds of fried food, phoenix chicken, double stick bones, four colors of vegetables, three kinds of soup, etc., all of which are first-class delicacies.

Empress Dowager Zhang made an opening remark: "Elder Yang Ge, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and I don't understand many things, so I rely on you and your family to help each other...... Isn't the noisy shouting in the court a joke for the world to see?"

Yang Tinghe's face was restrained, and he arched his hand as if he was taught.

Zhu Sidao: "Queen Mother, I also feel that Elder Yang Ge and all the subordinates have made great contributions, especially the foundation of consolidating my great Ming, and I should be rewarded for my merits."

Empress Dowager Zhang said, "Your Majesty, haven't you added Yang Ge Lao as the Left Pillar State?"

Yang Tinghe has made great contributions, and after Zhu Si arrived in the capital, he added "Zuozhu Guo" to Yang Tinghe, which is already the most favored of the ministers of the court, but now Zhu Si seems to be rewarded again.

"Not enough, far from enough!" Zhu Sidao, "I think that we should use merit to register Yang Ge Lao, Jiang Ge Lao and Mao Ge Lao as earls, and the age of Lu Qianshi."

"Huh?"

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't expect her son to think so much.

actually wanted to add officials to his political enemies.

Or is it a civil official to be promoted to a lord?

Yang Tinghe's face was a little strange, it was obvious that the little emperor's actions exceeded his expectations, and he hurriedly excused himself: "Your Majesty, no."

Zhu Si smiled and said, "Wang Shouren, the Shangshu of the Southern Military Department, rebelled against the king of Xining in Pingxi, and was registered as a new uncle. In terms of merit, how can a few cabinet elders be far above him, so why can't they be crowned? Hereditary repudiation, in order to show my great favor to your descendants."

Yang Ting and Jiang Mian and Mao Ji next to him didn't say anything, but obviously the matter of canonization was something that anyone wanted to accept.

But I can't accept it!

Who knows what the little emperor is up to?

There was a conflict before, and you want to get some benefits to calm the turmoil in the DPRK? Let the ministers continue to support the little emperor's policy strategy in the future?

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a heart, so Elder Yang Ge, Elder Jiang Ge and Elder Mao Ge don't have to refuse."

Saying this, it is obvious that Fei Hong, who has just entered the cabinet, is out of the way, as if Fei Hong is not worthy of canonization.

But Fei Hong didn't care, he also knew that the knighthood was just a sign of scenery, and it caused a lot of non-parliaments, plus he was under a lot of pressure from the court when he returned to the court, so he didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool of public opinion.

Yang Tinghe got up and bowed: "What the old minister did for the Ming Dynasty is a matter of duty, and he never dares to take credit. I beg your majesty to retract your order."

"What do you see, Queen Mother?"

Zhu Si asked Empress Dowager Zhang's opinion in a fake way.

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed, "Actually, Your Majesty is also kind...... Let's go, even if a few people are not knighted, then they should be in command of the Yin Jinyi Guard, what does Your Majesty think?"

The mother and son seriously discussed the issue of rewards for the three cabinet ministers.

If you don't want to be an earl, I will give you an official position of a hereditary commander of the Jinyi Guard, which is also a hereditary replacement, of course, it is difficult to give it if it is really lacking, but with this false title, the three of you will also belong to the capital lord system in the future, which is much better than your descendants need to take the road of the imperial examination to become officials, after all, not everyone is a seed of study, and there are also unsuccessful children and grandchildren, which can be regarded as leaving them a way back.

Yang Tinghe said: "The Queen Mother, the old ministers, etc., will never dare

Yes."

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji also got up and excused themselves: "The minister doesn't dare to accept it."

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled bitterly: "What is this doing? You have made great contributions to the imperial court, don't you receive this reward? Sit down and talk, don't be so formal."

Under the guidance of Yang Tinghe, the three people on the left sat down again.

The atmosphere of this banquet was depressing, and neither the emperor nor the ministers knew what to say.

On the contrary, it is the Empress Dowager Zhang, who rarely has the opportunity to contact with foreign ministers, and this time fully demonstrates her prestige as the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The ministers were originally set up for Kuang Fu Sheji, two generations of emperors, have a lot of trust in the ministers, the ministers can persuade the emperor to make mistakes, let the Ming Dynasty get on the right track, Your Majesty, as a king, you should understand the good intentions of your father and brother, and you can't resentment because the court has different opinions with the ministers."

"I won't." Zhu Sidao.

"That's good."

Empress Dowager Zhang then looked at Yang Tinghe, "Elder Yang Ge, as the first assistant of the cabinet, shouldn't be like a junior, right? How many old ministers have passed, what else can't you think of? There was a little misunderstanding before, so it's better to listen to the mourners' ...... Xishan Coal Kiln, should it be opened or continued."

"The Queen Mother's ......"

Yang Tinghe even had to come forward to dissuade him.

Empress Dowager Zhang raised her hand to interrupt Yang Tinghe's words, and said, "The mourning family knows what Yang Ge Lao means, this Xishan is involved in the matter of the Jinggi garrison, since Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Jingshi, this surrounding area is the place where the dragon qi of the Ming Dynasty gathers, and even the ground must be moved carefully, not to mention the opening of mines to stir up the dragon veins?"

Yang Tinghe thought to himself, do you know that you still want to keep the Xishan Coal Mine?

Empress Dowager Zhang said, "But the problem is that previous generations. There have been people in Xishan who have opened coal kilns for a long time, but if the people open them but the officials can't open them, it is inevitable that there will be criticism among the people."

"Although the mourning family knows that the meaning of your Qing family is not for their own selfish selfishness if they want to maintain the stability of my Ming Dynasty, they still have to avoid the spread of folk gossip."

Zhu Si squinted at Yang Tinghe, and saw that the other party's face was tense and unmoved, as if he wanted to open it at the moment, and said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "Queen Mother, my son just wanted to solve the shortage of money and grain for the imperial court by opening mines. I'll admit my mistake first."

Mrs. Zhang was relieved: "Your Majesty, now you have a faint demeanor of your father, and your father is occasionally a little stubborn in court affairs, but then he thought about it, how can he not treat the humerus minister who is dedicated to you and the Ming Dynasty."

Beautifully spoken.

Even Sun Jiao was in awe when he heard it.

It is said that in the past, Sun Jiao also looked down on the little emperor a little, and felt that Zhu Si was willful and reckless, even if Yang Tinghe was aggressive in the court yesterday and not like a minister, but the emperor's performance did not look like a wise king, but today I look at the little emperor...... No matter how you look at it, they are all humble and open-minded.

So much can change in a day?

Sun Jiao couldn't help but glance at Tang Yin next to him, thinking that your ability to teach the little emperor is quite high, I really want to ask you, how did you make the little emperor so "well-behaved"?

When Yang Tinghe and several other ministers heard this, their hearts were full of joy.

If you insist on it now, it is obvious that you will not give face to the Queen Mother and the emperor, especially if the emperor has spoken out softly, this is giving you Yang Ting and the stairs.

You, old man Yang, won't fail to seize the opportunity and make trouble to the end, right? Previously, you could also say to the emperor that if you are not satisfied, you will go to the queen mother to reason, and the threat will be fully revealed.

But now that the queen mother has come forward to persuade peace, what will you Yang Tinghe say?

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The intention of mourning the family is not to move the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty, and the mining in Xishan should be done in a low-key manner, and the people should not be allowed to discuss this matter anymore. Besides, Your Majesty, you were going to sell the coal kilns in Xishan to those merchants, and it seems that the mourning family did not need it!"

Zhu Si said with a bitter face: "Queen Mother, in fact, I don't want to be like this, it's not that the imperial court can't even make up the money to make up for the southeast coastal defense, and I want to open a mine...... Bitter no

There is start-up capital, and the money and food that the inner government can mobilize are used as military supplies, and there is really no way, so this is the case."

It's very aggrieved.

The silver that should have belonged to the royal family in the inner mansion was not used for pleasure, not to mention it, and all of it was used to fill the deficit of the imperial court.

I didn't have any money to open a mine, so I thought about going to the private sector to raise money.

In this way, he was regarded by the minister as a king who behaved mischiefly, and I was very aggrieved in my heart, and the queen mother had to be the master of her son.

"Then you should also discuss it with a few old cabinet ministers in advance, why don't you say it in advance and discuss it after the incident? What do you make those princes and ministers think? Rules are still very important."

Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to teach her son in the same way.

But a clear-eyed person such as Yang Tinghe has already seen that now the Empress Dowager Zhang has suffered because of the interests of her two younger brothers, and the emperor has spoken softly in front of her, the "stepmother", and the Empress Dowager Zhang wants to use this to win the heart of the little emperor, so she came forward to help speak.

Is this a mother teaching her son?

It's like a mother and son singing a double reed and slapping the minister in the face!

But people said that there was no problem, on the face, the queen mother taught the emperor a lesson about the emperor's bad behavior in front of several ministers, and this face was very sufficient.

Or is that sentence, if you Yang Tinghe are not convinced, do you still expect Empress Dowager Zhang to join forces with you to abolish the throne of the little emperor in the next step?

Yang Tinghe was extremely anxious in his heart.

Jiang Mian on the side secretly pulled Yang Tinghe's sleeve, and the meaning was obvious.

After the little emperor happened beforehand, he didn't mess around, showed a very high political quality, used accurate strategies, and had a good relationship with the queen mother, and made such a drama of mother-son love, the queen mother stood on the side of the new emperor, and we had to give in in on this matter.

Otherwise, we will lose even moral justice!

Zhu Sidao: "Erchen is actually just making meritorious contributions, and he wants others to know that he is worthy of this throne, and sometimes he is in a hurry...... I promise that in the future, I will definitely talk about the rules, discuss everything with your family, and I will not act in private again."

"Okay, okay."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Si with expectant eyes.

No way, who let her own son die?

If you don't rely on Zhu Si now, who else can you count on?

It's rare that Zhu Si looks filial now, and there is no reason not to stand on his son's side in this kind of matter.

Wouldn't it be better to be the emperor by someone else?

Not necessarily!

Empress Dowager Zhang immediately looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Elder Yang Ge, I don't know what you think?"
