Jiang Mian and other people from the civilian faction are still waiting to rescue people and protect the soldiers who beat people.

But the emperor was not accustomed to their stinky problems, and after establishing a certain advantage in public opinion, Zhu Si returned to the palace on the same day, and an edict that had been prepared long ago was issued, which was tantamount to skipping the process of the Great Rites Discussion, and directly took Zhu Youqi as the "imperial examination" and Zhu Youzhu as the "imperial examination" of filial piety.

The civil officials were obviously not prepared, and for a while there was an uproar in public opinion, and this matter was not agreed upon in the court, so that the civil servants could not even find a way to persuade the emperor directly after learning about it.

When Shi Xuan and Feng Xi, two scholars of the Hanlin Academy, learned of this and hurriedly sent someone to inform Jiang Mian.

Then Jiang Mian took Liu Chun and Fei Hong to the Ministry of Rites with the people in the Hanlin Academy, and Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came forward to receive the visitors.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and return it!"

Qiao Yu, the secretary of the ministry, arrived at the end, but because the right to refute was not the ministry, he could only make suggestions.

Shi Xuan said: "I'm afraid it's too late, I thought that Your Majesty was going to find someone to discuss the ceremony, but I never thought that the ceremony was just a disguise, in fact, Your Majesty had already made a decision, and I didn't give me a chance to oppose it at all...... Jiang Zhongtang, now I want you to come up with an idea."

The problem was thrown to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian was silent for a while.

Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked puzzled: "Could it be that Your Majesty has predicted that there will be chaos during today's ceremony? Soon after His Majesty returned to the palace, the edict was issued, and I was not given a chance to oppose it at all, so it seems that I can only give a direct advice to the court tomorrow."

It is impossible to go to the palace to face the saint now.

Emperor Ming summoned the minister separately in the Qianqing Palace, that was a favor, the minister could not make a time to ask for a meeting, of course, with Yang Tinghe's power in the court, he was qualified to go directly to the Qianqing Palace to see.

But now, Jiang Mian, a scholar of Shoufu University, does not have such authority.

Liu Chun sighed: "It seems that the focus of the ritual is on the court tomorrow, not on the outskirts of the city today, but I don't know those scholars...... Alas!"

There are some things that Liu Chun doesn't need to say too bluntly, and everyone present knows what he means.

Now the emperor is tantamount to grasping the "weakness" of civil officials, if you continue to give direct advice in the future, then the emperor may have to cut the scholars who fought during the ceremony outside the city today, so I asked you civil officials what choice to make?

Jiang Mian said: "The Ministry of Rites drafts a big ceremony to distinguish the performance, how many people can be found to co-sign, all of them are complete, even Zhitong is also called. Tomorrow, no matter what, I will stop Your Majesty's intention to usurp the courtesy, and I will ask you to join me in admonishing you."

"Understood."

All present were high-level officials of the DPRK Chinese, and at this moment, they all understood that they could not shirk this kind of thing, and in front of Jiang Mian, they all expressed their willingness to advance and retreat together.

……

……

Yang Shen, who had just returned to the Hanlin Academy, also heard that the emperor had written to change the etiquette law.

Yang Shen was really taken aback.

Today he is full of ambition and is ready to perform well, and now the middle-level civil officials in the imperial court, who can be mobilized, have all been recruited to his command, and he is ready to come forward together and break hands with the emperor in the big ceremony, but now the emperor does not debate with anyone at all.

Just now he showed a fair and just look, and as soon as he turned his face, the emperor directly issued an edict in the most authoritative way.

Just ask you if you're angry?

"Yongxiu, now it is clear that His Majesty wants to kidnap those scholars, and use them to blackmail Wenchen, so that Wenchen has no choice."

When Yu Chengxun said this, his tone was full of discouragement.

As a courtier, he is just an ordinary Hanlin, and he wants to fight directly with the emperor on the big ceremony, and when he contacts people, he thinks he is omnipotent, and when he really plays, he finds that he is not bullshit, and the emperor only needs one sentence to make the courtiers unable to parry.

Yang Shen said: "Your Majesty's move is somewhat of a villain, which is disgusting."

Yu Chengxun was shocked and said, "If you use cultivation, you will lose too many words, but don't publicize it."

Yang Shen was also really angry, he was passive everywhere on the issue of the Great Rites Discussion, and now the emperor directly skipped the edict issued by Wenchen, and then went directly to the king, Yang Shen has actually been excluded, after all, this kind of thing is only

The joint names of the top Wenchen are effective, and even if Yang Shen signs it, he can only make a note in the names of the officials who have a lot at the end of the joint name.

The protagonist becomes a supporting role, and Yang Shen is unwilling.

Of course, Yang Shen has a more direct way, which is to mobilize middle-level officials to kneel together, so that the array will only make a big fuss, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister will basically be difficult to ease.

Yang Shen's attitude was firm: "Your Majesty is acting recklessly, can the courtiers only sit idly by? Gather the manpower, and before the meeting tomorrow, cry at the noon gate, and I don't believe that it will not work."

Yu Chengxun said: "Let's not be reckless, it's better to listen to the opinions of Jiang Ge Lao and the others first. With cultivation, now you are the target of everyone, others can go, but you definitely can't...... This matter is related to Ling Zun...... Alas! What shall I say?"

In history, there were many participants in the Zuo Shunmen incident, but the worst one was Yang Shen, and the reason why Yang Shen was treated as the "first evil" was more because he had a father who had been the first assistant.

The emperor saw that Yang Shen was not pleasing to his eyes, and pressed Yang Shen down, and by the way, he could also criticize Yang Tinghe.

Father and son have many common interests, just like Yang Shen now has a certain prestige in the court, because he inherited his father's political influence, otherwise who will take his call seriously?

As he spoke, Cai Ang came in from outside.

Cai Ang said, "Yang Shi said that Master Feng is looking for you everywhere, saying that there is something involved in the ceremony, let you go."

Yang Shen nodded and said, "It seems that many people in the court have righteousness in their hearts, and they don't want Your Majesty to act recklessly!"

Even in front of Cai Ang, Yang Shen's attitude towards the emperor was extremely disrespectful, Cai Ang was the kind of person who was wise enough to protect himself, even if he heard Yang Shen's disrespectful remarks to the emperor, he turned a deaf ear, as if nothing had happened.

……

……

Sun Jiaofu Shang.

After Jiang Mian met with all the officials he could see that day, he saw Sun Jiao at three o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to win Sun Jiao into his camp.

Sun Jiao said bluntly: "Respect, if the old man says something that he doesn't like, even if His Majesty takes back his order in the court tomorrow, this matter will continue to occur, causing the confrontation between the monarch and the minister to become more and more serious. In the future, there will be few chaos in the court, but those scholars who care about the affairs of the court may have to suffer some flesh and skin."

Sun Jiao's meaning, tomorrow you oppose success, the emperor will continue to discuss the Great Rites in the future, and if you oppose it, you will naturally carry it to the end, sooner or later, our old guys will retreat, and the emperor will promote a group of officials who support the view of "succession without succession" to the throne, and the Great Rites Discussion will still develop in the direction that the emperor wants.

But if you give up on saving the people who are involved in the fight, they're going to be in for a lot of fun.

Jiang Mian's attitude was very resolute: "Etiquette cannot be abolished."

Sun Jiao nodded: "Since you are so persistent, then tomorrow the old decay will naturally advance and retreat with you, but if Your Majesty insists on doing so, have you ever thought about how to give further advice?"

Jiang Mian didn't speak.

He couldn't say such a proposal.

The matter of crying palace gate has happened many times in the Zhengde Dynasty in the past, after all, Emperor Zhengde is too nonsense, but at that time, most of the crying admonitions were completed by people at this level in the Hanlin Academy and the Six Branches, and it was really not the turn of the elder and Shangshu to go.

Jiang Mian felt like a mountain of pressure rushing over his face.

"Oh, the old man is all he says, if he has to pull it repeatedly tomorrow, the old man is only afraid that he will not be able to bear this old bone, don't be surprised when you look at it."

Sun Jiao told Jiang Mian on the grounds of his own physical inaction, if it is not possible to give direct advice to the court, you have to play those tricks of crying and kneeling, and I can't accompany you.

Jiang Mian took out something from his arms and said seriously, "Then please sign it with your brother."

"Hmm."

Sun Jiao didn't shirk, picked up the pen, and wrote his name on it.

Sun Jiao nominally supported the "heir to the throne", but in fact, Sun Jiao was also a little tired and didn't want to get involved in this inexplicable dispute at all.

More importantly, in the camp of the heir to the heir, with the people he cares about, it is impossible for him to completely stand on the position of the traditional civil servant.

……

……

That night, Zhu Hao was in the theater and met with Huang Zan and Su Xigui.

The main purpose is to discuss the details of the court ceremony in Japan.

Zhu Hao saw Huang Zan appear in front of him intact, in fact, he still had some opinions in his heart, originally according to his assumption, that group of scholars should do something to Huang Zan , so as to reflect the disrespect of the literati to the Hanlin scholars, and let the emperor occupy the moral high ground.

But Huang Zhan is not a descendant of Xingwangfu in the end, it is said that he was only pushed a few times at that time, and the person disappeared, but Zhang Xuan was more brave in this brawl and was seriously injured.

"Master Zhu, you see that Your Majesty's edict for a great gift has been issued, and tomorrow it will be countered by the ministers, and then Huang Gong is afraid that he will have to face countless questions, you can help think of a way." Su Xigui has a certain political vision, but with his current status, he can only ask Zhu Hao for help.

It seems that Su Xigui's every sentence can involve "silver", if Zhu Hao really comes up with any way to help Huang Zhan, his generous gift will be sent to the door again.

Su Xigui is such a direct person.

Zhu Hao said: "Tomorrow's court meeting, I will also come forward."

"Oh? Respectfully, you want to attend the court?"

Huang Zhan was surprised.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked me to ask about the fight between the scholars as a member of the Criminal Department, it was just a trivial matter, but in the current situation, how can there be any trivial matter? By the way, I'll have to go to the pilgrimage meeting for a while."

Huang Zan said, "Then ...... you?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I can try not to say anything if I can, but if Your Majesty asks a question in the court, I will naturally say everything, tomorrow Huang Gong only remembers one word, that is, forbearance, no matter what others say, don't be angry, just say a few words if you can't say it, let them mention it if you can't say it, as long as you stick to your position and keep in line with Your Majesty."

Huang Zan sighed with emotion: "This Hanlin bachelor who is in charge of etiquette and law is not easy to do."

Zhu Hao said: "Huang Gongyan is serious, whoever stands on His Majesty's side in the future will be ranked in the court, and whoever has been singing against His Majesty will gradually fade out of the court.
