Empress Dowager Sun bluntly said that she wanted Shen Yichen to hand over the military power?

Hearing this edict, the ministers inside and outside the Fengtian Hall were already standing in place, not knowing what to say.

It may be that the successive impacts are too great, completely beyond the scope of his own cognition and acceptance, and now the harem is nothing.

The only thing that can be determined is that there is nothing groundless in the Forbidden City, that is, the inexplicable matter of the Emperor Taishang, there is a high probability that it is true?

Not to mention that the courtiers were shocked, even Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, subconsciously glanced sideways. You must know that now is not the time to just ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, as an adult son of heaven, theoretically it is not allowed to listen to the existence of the curtain.

Even if he was as strong as the Empress Dowager Zhang, after Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong turned sixteen, he also took the initiative to "abdicate and make way for Xian", clarifying the power of the emperor's personal conquest.

What made Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu feel even more unacceptable was that Empress Dowager Sun intervened in politics, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty stood up to speak up.

Is he, the emperor, really a "transitional product" in extraordinary times?

In an instant, a wave of contempt and humiliation filled the chest of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.

He didn't follow Empress Dowager Sun's words for the first time, but said softly: "Queen Mother, it's serious, Shen Shilang is still loyal and patriotic." ”

Hearing Zhu Qiyu's response, a sneer came from behind the curtain: "Hehe, Shen Shilang's current performance seems to be quite loyal." ”

There is no doubt that Empress Dowager Sun has something to say, and in an instant, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu's face turned red, and he wanted to refute but was suppressed by filial piety.

"Shen Shilang will be arranged like this for the time being, and the rest of the things will be decided when the Emperor Taishang comes back!"

Empress Dowager Sun didn't want to give Zhu Qiyu any chance to explain, as early as a month ago, Mongolia had sent an embassy, and she was also recommended by Guo Jing, the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, showing enough sincerity.

This time, the Taishi was also willing to unconditionally release the Emperor Taishang to return to Beijing, and even Cao Jixiang, the superintendent of the division, sent a few pieces of gossip, which was basically a sure thing.

When Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen returns, what Shen Yichen has done will be revealed, how can such chaotic ministers and thieves hide their faces and stand in the court?

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

Almost at the same time, Yang Shan, the imperial historian of the right capital, came out of the class to compliment him, in the plan he specified, Shen Yichen and the Chengguo Mansion must first cut off the military control of one party.

Otherwise, the influence of the nine sides, coupled with the influence of Fujian, Shandong, and Jingying, is as strong as Wang Ji, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, who is difficult to match.

What's more, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji is not the kind of person who pursues fame and fortune, and he may not be reliable at the critical moment of the power struggle.

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

Immediately afterwards, the governor Zhang Xuan, the Marquis of Ningyang, Chen Mao, the head of the household, Jin Lian, etc., all stood up and shouted this flattering word, which means that it is obvious that the courtiers are standing in line.

That is, the military power of the Jingshi must not let the Chengguo Mansion dominate the family, and the public and private can no longer cultivate a powerful minister similar to Wang Zhen, and must abstain from the cabinet!

In the face of the voices of this group of ministers, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu's face became more and more embarrassed, and at this moment he was deeply aware that the pressure and threats exerted by the Empress Dowager Sun on him were not just as simple as talking.

Relying on the innate advantages of filial piety and the influence of the Emperor Taishang among the ministers, it is really possible to abolish the emperor!

A sense of powerlessness swept through Zhu Qiyu's whole body, and he subconsciously looked at Cheng Jing in front of him for help, just like Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong at the beginning, looking at Wang Zhen, who was also his master and father.

Looking at Zhu Qiyu's eyes asking for help, Cheng Jing also had a deep helplessness in his heart, a few months was only enough to win over Shen Yichen, and it was not enough to cultivate a group of forces among the courtiers who were completely loyal to the new monarch.

As the saying goes, people under the eaves have to bow their heads, and sometimes the emperor does the same.

As a result, Cheng Jing could only shake his head inaudibly, signaling Zhu Qiyu to compromise softly.

"What the queen mother said is, then let Shen Shilang enter the cabinet as an additional rank to participate in the aircraft service."

"Minister, take the order!"

Every move on the imperial platform, Shen Yichen saw it in his eyes, he knew that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu had reached the limit of his ability, and it was impossible for the civil and military officials of the imperial court to allow the emergence of a cabinet and a minister, plus the future super minister in charge of the army.

Politics is an art of compromise. Shen Yichen has been up and down in Guanhai for several years now, and he is no longer the stunned young man he was at the beginning, and it is indeed too early for him to think about the power of the government and the opposition in his early twenties.

Seeing Shen Yichen put down his military power without any "resistance", many courtiers showed a meaningful smile on their faces. This is not just a concession from a courtier, but at most a confrontation between two "kings".

The Emperor Taishang has not yet returned to Beijing, and the current saint has no power to parry, and according to this trend, it seems that the Ming Dynasty will soon have to change the sky.

After the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds is over, the next court meeting will still follow the rules of the orthodox dynasty period, and select a few books to discuss the matter. However, compared with the main event of the struggle between the forces of the various parties in the front, the content of the later chapters is a little painless, and basically the competent officials have passed after two sentences.

However, in the final stage, there is still a letter from Datong Mansion to be read, which is also something that everyone is looking forward to this court meeting, that is, how to discuss with the Tartars to welcome the return of Emperor Zhu Qizhen to Beijing!

"Your Majesty, the Tile Thorn Mission has arrived in Datong Mansion, and the Tartars have stated this time that they will not charge any ransom and will unconditionally return the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing."

"This is the blessing of the first emperor, and this is my great luck!"

Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said this with some emotion, as one of the five ministers of the first emperor Tuogu, and he was also the chief official in charge of the etiquette. Even if you put aside all kinds of power disputes in the court, it is indeed a matter of washing away the shame just to welcome the defeated emperor back.

After all, the shame of Jingkang, the two emperors of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, failed to return to Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, until their deaths, and the Ming Dynasty did not repeat the mistakes of the past!

Thousands of years later, in the history books, there will be no extremely humiliating descriptions!

"God bless Daming, and I also ask Your Majesty to reply to the Tile Spur Mission as soon as possible to welcome the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing."

Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, also agreed, welcoming the Ming Emperor back to Beijing is absolutely politically correct, and the six ministries have taken the lead, so the cabinet naturally has to show its attitude.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to welcome the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing!"

In an instant, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed down one after another to ask for their lives, and more than a month has passed since the last time the minister of Xun Qi last recited, and the new monarch has never given a clear answer. Now that the Tatars have completely given up the negotiation threat, it would be a shame for the Ming Dynasty to take the Emperor back to Beijing if he didn't take the Emperor Taishang back!

Faced with this group of angry scenes, Zhu Qiyu looked at Shen Yichen, and at the same time, his eyes were filled with a kind of despair. He understood that in this situation, Shen Yichen couldn't do anything, just holding ridiculous expectations.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions, and the Emperor Taishang should postpone his return to Beijing!"

With the incredulous gazes inside and outside the hall, Shen Yichen finally stood up against it.

History has changed in his own hands, if Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen returns to Beijing in advance, then Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu will most likely not be able to hold the throne, and the end will be extremely tragic.

For no other reason, the word "orthodoxy" in feudal society cannot be shaken!

Why did Zhu Qizhen lose his teacher and humiliate the country in history, and after being imprisoned by Nangong for seven years, he was still able to easily seize the door and successfully restore?

Even though the vast majority of ministers who did not participate in the coup, including Yu Qian, who was deeply favored by Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu and other "henchmen", they still chose to support Zhu Qizhen's restoration to the throne. It is that the orthodox heir to the throne in their hearts is always Zhu Qizhen's father and son, not Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor!

As early as the pre-Qin period, the primogeniture inheritance system was confirmed, and it has evolved over thousands of years into an iron law of golden rules, even beyond the immutability of the law of the ancestors.

Zhu Qiyu is a concubine, did not inherit the legal system of Ming Xuanzong, theoretically the most qualified Ming Dynasty after the Tumubao change is Xiangxian King Zhu Zhandong, he is the legal son of Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi.

It's just that Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiangxian, didn't like power, and had been in the domain for many years, refused the court's request to ascend the throne, and gave way to Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor.

This is why Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu is so in awe of Empress Dowager Sun, the reason is that the source of his legal system must be established by his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Sun. Subsequently, in order to increase his legitimacy, he also asked Guo Deng, a general of Datong, to obtain the endorsement of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of Ming Yingzong.

But even so, Zhu Qiyu is not the congenital defect of the crown prince, and the throne does not come from the legal system of his father, Emperor Ming Xuanzong.

This has led to the fact that Zhu Qiyu will always be the courtier of the Empress Dowager Sun and the Emperor Zhu Qizhen in the status of monarch and minister, and the upper and lower levels cannot be messed up!

No matter when and where, Empress Dowager Sun wants to abolish Zhu Qiyu's throne, and Zhu Qizhen's father and son want to restore and ascend the throne, which is in line with the "procedural justice" of etiquette and law.

The whole thing seems a little funny, but that's the reality. The ministers of the Emperor Taishang invited the Emperor Taishang to return to Beijing, and among them, there were actually very few who had the merit of obtaining the restoration of the dragon.

The reason why there is such a large-scale momentum is more to maintain the inheritance of rituals in the heart.

After all, whether it is a minister of civil and military affairs, or a family member, their family inheritance also relies on the primogeniture inheritance system. If you want to stably inherit the title and family business, you must abide by the etiquette and law, otherwise after the rules are messed up, won't they all be messed up?

Now that Shen Yichen is standing up against it, in fact, he is not only standing in line with Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, but also challenging the legal inheritance of the entire feudal society!

"Nonsense, the Emperor Taishang has been suffering from the cold in Mobei, and you, as a courtier, still want to humiliate the king?"

Wang Yining, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, jumped out as soon as possible, pointed at Shen Yichen's nose and scolded him.

Other things can be tolerated, welcoming the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing is related to the inheritance of etiquette, and this is still a matter of etiquette, how can it be tolerated that Shen Yichen is here to block it?

"It seems that the rumors of ignoring the emperor in the enemy camp are not groundless, does Shen Shilang really want to be a chaotic minister and thief?"

Zuodu Yushi Wang Wen also asked coldly.

He was attached to the eunuch Wang Zhen back then, which led to his notoriety in the court now, and if he wanted to turn over, he could only rely on the emperor Zhu Qizhen to return from the northern hunt.

Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Shen Yichen has to come forward to stop it, which is no different from cutting off people's financial routes as killing their parents.

"Thinking that the Emperor appointed you as the third yuan and the first, but now you are so betrayed to seek glory, it is unbearable, I am ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty as this son!"

Not only the high-ranking officials in the Fengtian Hall opposed it, but even the Hanlin Qinggui who was standing in the corridor outside the hall had one person shouting.

This person Shen Yichen still knows, it was he who entered the Hanlin Academy and brought it to Liwei's Hanlin to review Tao Hongzheng.

Of course, now he has been officially revised.

With the addition of Hanlin Qinggui, it is equivalent to igniting the powder keg of the group of trolls of the Kedao Yanguan, and in an instant, all kinds of reprimands and insults are endless, and the entire court hall is no different from the vegetable market, and the supervision of the imperial history who maintains the order of etiquette does not dare to offend the anger of the public at this time.

"Silence!"

Jin Ying, the eunuch who was standing on the imperial platform, finally couldn't stand it when he saw this scene, and stopped it loudly.

Jin Ying is also a veteran of the Five Dynasties, and when Wang Zhenquan leaned into the opposition, he had to give him some thin noodles. Now that he has the blessing of the eunuch status of the master of ceremonies, the general official Qinggui really can't afford to offend him, so he has to be quiet for a while.

"Shen Qing, tell me your reasons."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu gave Shen Yichen a chance to speak, although he no longer had any expectations in his heart, but at least one person stood up against it, which is also a gratifying thing.

"The failure of civil engineering is a hundred years of shame for me. Although Weichen is a civilian official, he also knows that the defeat on the battlefield needs to be washed away with the blood of the enemy. ”

"Emperor Taishang was captured in the North Hunt and was released back by the Tartars, how will future generations comment on it, and how will the history books describe it?"

"Only by leading the troops to defeat the Tartars, regaining the Emperor Taishang from their hands in a dignified manner, and letting the head of the Mongolian Taishi Yexian be hung on the wall of the Beijing Division to warn all nations, can we truly raise the prestige of our Ming Dynasty!"

Sending back and snatching back are two different concepts, the former is a charity for the weak, and the latter is the revenge of the strong.

Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong wants to wash away the shame in the history books, and only by destroying Mongolia, the century-old enemy of the Ming Dynasty, can he redeem his name.

After all, history is always written by the victors.

However, Shen Yichen's words did not have the desired effect, and even Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and scolded: "Strong words, I want revenge, why do I need to put the Emperor in danger." ”

"Swords and guns have no eyes, if there is an accident during the requisition, what will Shen Shilang be responsible for?"

In a sense, Shen Yichen is indeed suspected of stealing concepts, and he also knows that the success rate of such a statement is close to none.

But there is no other way to do many things than to fight.

At this time, Shen Yichen took out a piece of music from his arms and said loudly: "The minister dares to guarantee that he will not dare to have the slightest disadvantage to the Emperor Taishang, and he can even get his head without blood!" ”

"What capital guarantees do you have?"

"Relying on this letter of state from the Tatar Ministry, the Mongolian Dai General Khan is willing to bow down to my Ming Emperor!"
