505 Protests (2-in-1)

"To the north, Your Majesty has finally taken this step."

After receiving the message from Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, Shang Yu came to Shen Yichen's class room as soon as possible, and his face was full of shock.

Speaking from the heart, as a traditional scholar and literati, Shang Zhi is more inclined to the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, after all, the line of Emperor Ming Yingzong is the descendant of the first emperor, and no matter how hard Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu tries, he can't change the foundation of his concubine's side branch.

The primogeniture inheritance system has laid the foundation for thousands of years of inheritance in China. It is not only the royal family that is involved, but also the entire scholar class, and the concubine will swell up with incomparable ambitions.

is also a son, why can his son-in-law have everything, and the family foundation should have a capable person to live in!

Therefore, the etiquette and law system maintained by the civil and official group is, in a sense, also safeguarding the interests of its own family, and the etiquette and pleasure must not be broken!

But after Shen Yichen learned the news, his first reaction was not to care about Yi Chu, but more to be happy that the worst scenario did not happen, and Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu was still alive and well, not to the point of supporting the new monarch.

You must know that Shen Yichen is currently close to the status of a supreme minister, but he is still a long way from the power of the government and the opposition. If there is a change in a short period of time, you can rely on the advantages and means of the commander to seize the opportunity to support the new king. However, he was not sure that he would be able to suppress the opponents inside and outside the government and the opposition.

Once there is someone waving the banner of "Qingjun side", then the whole world may gather in response, and the Ming Dynasty will fall into a situation where the civil war is falling apart. In the end, even if the suppression was successful and won the victory, all that was gained was the devastation of the land of China.

It just corresponds to an old saying, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

Yu Qian in history did not want to be ruined, he chose to sacrifice himself to allow the coup d'Γ©tat of Ming Yingzong Nangong. Shen Yichen is not that great, but he is also unwilling to rashly cause unnecessary casualties without being fully prepared.

Not to mention the strength he currently controls, it has not yet reached the point of winning steadily.

Shen Yichen needs Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu to live well, only in this way can he maintain the balance between the monarch and the minister, and use the imperial power to achieve his goals.

"Let's go to the Wenhua Hall first to see what's going on, Yi Chu is the trend of the times, and no one can change His Majesty's will."

Shen Yichen's face was calm, as long as Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu was still alive, no matter how much trouble the civil and military officials made now, he would eventually die down and accept a series of changes such as easy storage after the abolition.

"Well, let's go, then."

Shang Shi nodded, and Shen Yichen's suffocation also soothed his shocked heart, honor and disgrace are not shocked, and he is still quite deficient in this point.

In the Wenhua Palace, except for the emperor who did not sit on the dragon chair, the cabinet of the civil official group and the generals of the military attache group had gathered here to make a lot of noise. More than half of the voices are against Zhu Qiyu's abolition of the back and Yi Chu, of course, the other half is under the general trend, even if it is an imperial party, it can only be silent.

Looking at the noisy court, Chen Xun, the head of the cabinet, stood in the center, and then coughed twice to remind everyone.

Seeing Chen Xun come forward, the noisy hall quickly fell silent, and the ministers of the Lord Qi turned their eyes on him, wanting to hear what the cabinet's attitude was towards this matter.

"Your colleagues are the pillars of the family and the country, what kind of system is such a noisy and noisy system, after the abolition is a royal matter, this cabinet has already played Your Majesty, I believe it will give you a reasonable explanation."

Chen Xun's convening of a joint meeting of the cabinet does not mean that he opposes the abolition of the queen, but more to give the important ministers of the imperial court a space for discussion, stabilize the dissatisfaction of the center, and reduce the upcoming resistance to easy storage.

It's just that the enthusiastic response after the abolition is somewhat beyond Chen Xun's expectations, even if the civil officials make trouble, the military generals are also involved, resulting in the Wenhua Hall being like a court meeting, which can be called "overcrowded".

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Xun's words fell, a high-pitched voice came from outside the door, and a young official in a green robe said with righteousness: "As the saying goes, there is no joke in the king, and after the abolition of the edict, what kind of explanation can Your Majesty give?" ”

"Besides, it has been more than half a month since the dynasty was stopped, and now such a major event has happened, where is Your Majesty?"

Everyone in the hall followed the sound and looked out, and when they saw each other's faces clearly, the expressions on the faces of this group of important ministers were instantly wonderful. It is okay for the military generals to come over and join the joint meeting of the cabinet department, after all, their powerful position is there, and now that Kedao Qingliu has also rushed over, this group of professional trolls is not easy to dismiss.

"This is a cabinet meeting, why didn't you come here!"

After He Pingyan saw the identity of the other party clearly, he immediately reprimanded.

You must know that a group of high-ranking officials and important ministers are a group of old fritters, and it is easy to reach political compromises on specific matters, on the contrary, this group of Kedao Yanguan is stunned, and if they can't meet their standards, they won't get in the oil and salt.

Now that the identities are different, the camps are naturally different, even if He Pingyan used the power of Qingliu to fight Shen Yichen back then, he is still unwilling to be with the other party.

In the face of He Pingyan's reprimand, the official outside the door was not afraid at all: "We are under the emperor's order, investigating and correcting the official evil of hundreds of departments inside and outside, and now we are traitors and reprimanding the court and blinding the saints, shouldn't we stand up and clean up the source?" ”

"Who do you say is a traitor and a traitor?"

He Pingyan asked angrily, this kid didn't listen to persuasion, forget it, and pointed out that Sang scolded Huai.

"Whoever supports the abolition of the post-Yi Chu is a traitor in the DPRK and China!"

As soon as Qingliu outside the door said this, the faces of many important ministers in the hall changed slightly, you must know that after the three-year layout of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, in fact, there are not a few people who support Yi Chu, isn't this a group of ridicule and scolding everyone?

Just when the important ministers in the palace were considering whether they should continue to debate with the group of "professional trolls" of the Yanguan. An indifferent voice came from the direction of the dragon chair behind him: "The abolition of the queen is the will of me, is it also a traitor in the court?" ”

Hearing the prestige, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu stood on the royal platform with an iron face, and there was no eunuch praise before coming out, which made the civil and military ministers present stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and knelt down and bowed.

"The ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers in the hall slowly stood up, but Shen Yichen raised his head at this time and carefully looked at Zhu Qiyu's face on the royal platform.

Compared with the day when he returned to the dynasty victoriously, a sickly pale appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face, and his expression was more flushed at this moment. Shen Yichen is not a famous doctor, and he doesn't know how to look and hear, he doesn't know if this is caused by anger or some other reason, anyway, he feels a little uneasy.

"After the abolition, I have already made it very clear in the edict, the Wang family is stubborn and resentful, and has violated the decree, does it mean that you also plan to disobey the emperor's order?"

An angry cry made the Wenhua Hall silent, even the Yanguan Qingliu group standing outside the hall kept silent after seeing this scene. You must know that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu has always been gentle and generous, and he has never roared filial piety to his ministers in the court in the three years since he ascended the throne.

The "honest emperor" in the eyes of the ministers suddenly became angry, and there was indeed an inexplicable deterrent.

Zhu Qiyu is so angry, in fact, it is not for nothing. That day, he was opposed by Queen Wang and confronted Yi Chu, and fainted in a fit of anger, and after waking up, he immediately called Xing'an, Wang Cheng and other internal officials, and strictly blocked the news and did not allow it to be spread.

Originally, this was only about the emperor's own condition, and I am afraid that Zhu Qiyu himself did not realize that it would really be a premature death.

As a result, not long after he woke up, Wang Cheng, who was ordered to investigate the infection of the emperor's eldest son, came back to report that the palace maid and eunuch who accompanied Zhu Jianji at that time had briefly let the emperor's eldest son out of sight, and he didn't know what had happened during this time.

Hearing this news, combined with the ferocity of the emperor's eldest son Zhu Jianji, he was in a semi-coma for several days after a cold wind, and he is still bedridden today. Zhu Qiyu realized that this incident was not accidental, and some forces in the court heard that Yi Chu couldn't hold it back, and began to attack his emperor.

In order to cut off the conspiracy methods of some forces in the court, Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Jingtai, made up his mind to abolish the queen desperately and ensure that his son could ascend to the throne of the prince.

As long as the Yi Chu is completed, then it means that the imperial lineage is transferred, whether it is the emperor's eldest son Zhu Jianji who will ascend the throne in the future, it is impossible to return to the Ming Yingzong lineage under normal circumstances, and it will only be Zhu Qiyu's children and grandchildren.

】

Of course, people are not as good as heaven, and no one can imagine at this moment that Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor who is in his youth, really has only one son like Zhu Jianji.

After the courtiers were silent for a long time, a young official outside the palace stood up and asked in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, since the queen has been deposed, can you let the court officials know what the content of the number of violations of the decree is?" ”

"Only by making it public can the world be convinced!"

This person Shen Yichen doesn't know, but judging from the official uniform, there is a high probability that he is in the middle of the six sections.

Asking this question, there is no doubt that he wants Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu to personally say that the reason why the queen was deposed is against Yi Chu, so as to get to the core of the problem.

In the matter of the abolition of the queen, after all, it involves the difference between men and women in the harem, and it is difficult for the courtiers to use the topic to play. Only by bringing out the easy storage and bringing it out can the civil official group maintain the etiquette and law and give full play to the "justice" in their hearts!

"The secret affairs of the palace, do you need to be informed of everything, or are you questioning Your Majesty's verbal decision-making?"

Wang Yining, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stood up and scolded, he relied on Emperor Jingtai to pull it out, and the eunuch Wang Chengyuan introduced it into the pavilion, and of course showed a loyal posture at the critical moment.

"The queen's position is the mother of the world, how can she use the secrets of the palace to pass it over, doesn't the elder of the Wang Pavilion even know this?"

The people outside the door are still righteous in their words, and they are not afraid of Wang Yining's powerful position. The reason is that if he parachutes into the cabinet under abnormal circumstances, he will be looked down upon by hundreds of officials, but he still relies on eunuchs to invoke it, so he will be even more despised by Qingliu.

Fortunately, Wang Cheng is far inferior to Wang Zhen's power, and he does not have the ability to form a party and compare friends, otherwise Wang Yining would have to wear a eunuch hat.

"That's right, the royal family has no selfish affairs, and this move is not trivial after the abolition, please make it clear to Your Majesty!"

"The emperor and queen inherit the ancestral rites together, and it is not enough to convince the world by relying only on stubbornness and resentment, and counting the eight characters of the religious order."

"The queen has benevolence, cares for the common people, and collects the bones of the soldiers and the common people are widely loved.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all knew why the queen was abolished, but no one would poke out the essence, so they could only put pressure on Zhu Qiyu by knocking on the side and changing his thoughts about the abolition and even Yi Chu.

It's just that at the moment when the group of civil officials in Kedao was becoming more and more intense, an old man standing in the front row on the left turned around, looked outside the palace gate and shouted: "Presumptuous, what kind of system does the court become of filial piety?" ”

The person who shouted this sentence was none other than Hu Hu, the elder of the Ministry of Rites behind the Lishi Six Dynasties and the chief scholar of the Ministry of Rites behind the civil official group.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the ritual system of the Five Rites, and Hu Hu has absolute "interpretive power" on the issue of etiquette after the abolition. More importantly, that is, the official group of Kedaoyan, except for a very small number of stunned youths, most of them still follow the rules of the game of officialdom.

Hu Hu stood up and spoke, which meant that the top management of the civil official group did not intend to put pressure on Emperor Jingtai on the matter of the abolition, and it should be stopped in moderation.

"If there is another act of violating the rules, this official will not be spared!"

Not only Hu Hu stood up to speak, but Wang Zhi, the official of the Ministry of Officials, also stood up and made a statement, the appearance of these two people seemed to have the effect of fixing the sea god needle, and the group of young officials who were still full of righteous indignation just now instantly extinguished the fire and stopped talking.

It's just that this scene was put in the eyes of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, but a cold light flashed, Wang Zhi and Hu Hu stood up and spoke, and they were even more effective than themselves, who is the Ninety-Five Supreme in this Ming Dynasty?

But at this moment, Zhu Qiyu was not in the mood to deal with this, he was able to appear in front of the courtiers today, more by taking the effect of the pill, he felt physically and mentally exhausted in a short time, and his feet were a little weak and he couldn't maintain his majestic image.

So he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The matter after the abolition is a foregone conclusion, and it must not be discussed in the future, so let's step back!" ”

The cabinet was biased towards Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, and the high-level civil officials of the six ministries were obviously aware of the situation and did not want to anger the emperor in the matter of the abolition. Once the cabinet department reached a work together, then a small number of officials and officials would not be able to make trouble.

For this, Shen Yichen had already expected this, compared to the shock of Shang Chen, he always maintained a calm bystander posture.

However, just as the courtiers bowed and were about to withdraw from the Wenhua Palace, Shen Yichen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

Shen Yichen stood up at this time, which surprised everyone present, as a descendant of the "Imperial Party", it was impossible for him to oppose the abolition of the post-repression and other matters, so why did he choose to do things at this time?

"What's going on?"

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu replied impatiently, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. You must know that at this time, the temperature of Jingshi is still below freezing, and just standing on the imperial platform to maintain a majestic appearance makes him a little overwhelmed.

"The minister has his own music!"

After that, Shen Yichen took out a piece of music from his arms, and the expression of the merchant standing aside instantly became extremely complicated, because this piece was unforgettable for him.

Shen Yichen's recital is the book "On the Disadvantages of the Sect" that is about to cause turmoil in the government and the opposition!
