Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's words, Shen Yichen was noncommittal, he had long known that he could not become Yu Qian, or this kind of dedication to putting life and death aside, all of whom could be done throughout the ages were national heroes at the level of leaving a name in history.

Once Shen Yichen thought that it would be good if he could be Zhang Juzheng, Yu Private is not a perfect person, but Yu Gong is worthy of his family and country, and his merits and demerits are left to future generations to comment.

But Shen Yichen didn't want to accept Zhang Juzheng's fate, and wanted to change the fate of the emperor who would always control life and death, so he had to be more radical and strong than the ministers of the previous dynasties, so that the balance of power in the government was no longer the emperor was high, and the courtiers checked and balanced each other.

Instead, the emperor, the courtiers, and the people should be one of the links, and the three parties should be in a state of balance of power in the game, so that the real world can be public!

But seriously, Shen Yichen can think of using the trick of "Yuan matching" to balance Empress Dowager Sun, and he has to rely on Zhu Qiyu to mention Empress Hang and Empress Wang, which gave him inspiration and inspiration.

As long as Emperor Jingtai's edict to honor Empress Hu is issued, then it will shake the legal power of Empress Dowager Sun's mother-in-law, and in the future, Shen Yichen will control the court situation, and there will be no more sword of Damoris hanging over his head.

"Yes, I promise you."

In the end, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu still chose to compromise, he not only did this to protect Shen Yichen, but also to protect himself. After all, if there is really a scene of the Empress Dowager Sun's reigning in the dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not vent her resentment imprisoned in Cining Palace in the past few years.

has come to the step of step-emperor nephew Zhu Jianqing, so naturally all hidden dangers must be eliminated.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will retire."

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the goal that he wants to achieve has basically been achieved, Shen Yichen doesn't want to use government affairs anymore to disturb the last days of Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's life.

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu didn't make a sound, just nodded lightly, and then closed his eyes again.

But just as Shen Yichen was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something.

This matter is not good for himself, but it can resolve part of the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's worries about his name before and after.

"Your Majesty, the minister suddenly remembered something, I don't know if I can tell it."

"Say it."

Zhu Qiyu didn't open his eyes this time, the future things he wanted to arrange had also been achieved, and he had no desire for other things.

"The fact that His Majesty's move to change the prince after his abolition to the present scene is essentially that the estrangement between him and the ministers has not been eliminated, which has led to the increasing contradictions between the two sides, so that eunuchs and nouveau riche have to be appointed to achieve checks and balances in the court."

The invitation to suppress the Empress Dowager Sun has been said, and Shen Yichen doesn't care about saying more "overstepping" words. As for whether Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu can accept it at the end of his life, it depends on him.

"Shen Qing, I know that you have always been bold, but I didn't expect you to be so bold."

"I hope that the appointment of Minister I Tuogu will not be the last big failure!"

Zhu Qiyu actually felt that Shen Yichen did not have the awe of ordinary people for the emperor. It's just that I feel that this kind of thing can't always be evidence of conviction, otherwise what's the difference between that and "unwarranted"?

In addition, although Shen Yichen said that he acted more unscrupulously, he always maintained a cautious attitude in front of the emperor, and the ministers of the court and the central government did not have any impeachment of him in private sections, so this feeling was gone.

To this day, Shen Yichen's performance has finally confirmed the conjecture of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, but even if he is respected as the emperor, there is no means to continue to check and balance. Whether this son will become Cao Cao or Zhuge in the future depends on his personality.

"Your Majesty, the minister will not be the powerful minister you think."

Shen Yichen responded lightly, without explaining too much, as for Zhu Qiyuxiang not believing it, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Yes, then how do you think I can eliminate the estrangement with civil officials at such a time?"

Zhu Qiyu is the same

Knowing that it didn't matter whether he believed it or not, he turned the conversation back to the right track.

Yu Qian's bluntly admonished sentence "All the dynasties are Taibao, one book and two books", Zhu Qiyu has remembered it vividly after so long, and it is true that he has continuously suppressed the civil official group and the old relatives in order to abolish the Hou Yi Chu, which has led to irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, which has laid a great hidden danger for the government in the future.

If the new monarch and the minister of Tuogu cannot be repaired in the future, then the era of the Ming party struggle can come in advance.

"Release the Jianshu people and Wu Shu people who were imprisoned in Fengyang Mansion, and at the same time restore the honorific title of Emperor Jianwen, the founding heroes who were unjustly killed, and the heroes of Jingnan. These are just a gesture for Your Majesty, but they can greatly appease and win over the hearts of Confucian ministers, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"In addition, the funeral system of concubines and palace maids was abolished, and clay puppets and stone statues were replaced."

Shen Yichen gave his own advice, in fact, this is not a clever plan, it is just something that Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen did in the later period of the Tianshun Dynasty after the restoration.

The shame of Jingkang is almost known to later generations, and the two emperors of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were almost nailed to the pillar of shame, and everyone was eager to go up and spit on it. In comparison, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's operations in Tumubao are actually too much in terms of national strength.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen's reputation does not seem to be so bad in the description of history books is that some of his follow-up remedies have been recognized by the civil official group, and many reputations have been beautified in the history books.

After all, history exists objectively, but history books are written by people.

After all, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of Jianwen, was the great ancestor of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how much Zhu Dijing succeeded in erasing the era name and history, he still could not be recognized by the civil ministers who were deeply influenced by Confucianism.

Now that time has passed, the descendants of Emperor Jianwen "Jianshu Ren" and the descendants of the crown prince Zhu Biao "Wu Shuren" have been beaten and oppressed for decades, and have won the sympathy and dissatisfaction of many Confucians and Wenchen.

If Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu can do the thing of overturning the case in the final stage, then he will inevitably win the unanimous praise of the entire Confucian courtier group, and the hostility towards his concubine's accession to the throne will also be eliminated a lot, and by the way, the succession process of the new monarch Zhu Jianqing will be more stable.

After all, in a sense, Zhu Jianqing's accession to the throne is also not in line with etiquette, and the second son is ahead of the eldest son Zhu Jianshen, which is destined to cause many waves.

As for the final abolition of the funeral system of concubines and palace maids, not to mention, the act of human burial itself is extremely cruel and inhumane, and any emperor of the Ming Dynasty who did it is equivalent to a thousand years of merit.

Even if Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu does not agree, when he dies in Bintian, Shen Yichen will use his "minister" power to forcefully prevent the continuation of the funeral system, which is nothing more than the good reputation in this history book, who will fall on it.

"Your Majesty, didn't you ask Bin Tian what he would say in the history books, can he be called a good emperor?"

"After doing these things, the minister can guarantee that it will go down in history!"

But the king of the world, to win the name before and after his death, this poem was originally used on courtiers, but now Shen Yichen is helping Zhu Qiyu earn the name before and after his death.

"Prince Yiwen and Emperor Jianwen, as well as the founding heroes and loyal ministers of Jingnan, it is time to correct their names."

"According to what Shen Qing said, I will send an order to the celebrant to draft an edict."

As Shen Yichen said, the promulgation of this kind of holy decree with a correct name has little impact on the emperor, especially in the form of a "testament". But it can greatly enhance his reputation, not to mention other benefits, at least "benevolence", the Confucian standard of kings.

"Your Majesty, the minister will not disturb the rest too much, and retire."

After several turnbacks, this time Shen Yichen finally stepped out of the threshold of the Qianqing Palace, and at this time, a slanting sun outside the house shone on his body, pulling Shen Yichen's shadow for a long time.

The sunset in the Forbidden City actually has a different kind of beauty, but this time it gives people a kind of imperial afterglow.

Leaving the palace and walking out of the Chengtian Gate, Zhao Hongjie was already waiting at the palace gate, and when he saw Shen Yichen coming out, he immediately greeted him and asked, "Xiang."

North, how did you tell Your Majesty, did he promise his step-emperor nephew Zhu Jianqing?"

"Yes, the celebrant will soon draft a number of edicts, which will then be issued to the Cabinet and then promulgated by the Secretary for General Affairs."

Hearing Shen Yichen's answer, Zhao Hongjie breathed a sigh of relief, as the head of this kind of intelligence spy agency under the command of Jinyiwei, he could better understand the chaotic situation of the Jingshi people during the period when Emperor Jingtai was seriously ill.

If you are no longer sure about the new monarch, I am afraid that any demons and monsters want to get a piece of the soup from the dragon's work.

But then Zhao Hongjie asked rhetorically: "Drafting several edicts, in addition to the succession and canonization of the crown prince, you have also discussed something else with Your Majesty?"

"Hmm."

Shen Yichen nodded, and then said, "This matter is a long story, and you will know soon."

After that, Shen Yichen instructed: "After the promulgation of the succession and canonization edict, I expect that it will cause a great turmoil in Beijing, and this time we must prepare in advance, so that there can be no more tense scenes on the night of the death of the crown prince."

"Hongjie, you gather the soldiers and horses of the Jinyi Guard to stay in the palace, if you don't have enough manpower, go to Wang Zheng, who commands the envoy of the Jingwei, and we must ensure that at least one palace gate is in our hands, and we can't let all the four guards take over."

Shen Yichen now knew that Shi Heng's palace helper was Cao Jixiang, the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. If the Forbidden City is controlled by Teng Xiang Siwei after things change, then he will be at a great disadvantage, after all, there was a famous saying during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, called "The Son of Heaven would rather have a kind? The strong will do it!"

Shi Heng himself is strong and strong, and if he still occupies the geographical advantage of the Forbidden City, it is up to him to decide whether the edict of succession and canonization of the crown prince can be issued and executed.

"To the north, I understand, you can rest assured."

With previous experience, Zhao Hongjie will not take it lightly this time, and will definitely be fully prepared.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about anything else for the time being, and I have to go back to the mansion first and inform him of the conversation with His Majesty."

"If the worst happens, it will be up to the grandfather to come forward and call on the relatives to stabilize the situation."

After saying this, the expression on Shen Yichen's face was a little solemn, he was ready to meet Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo. But after all, this is a civil war between the Ming soldiers, and Shen Yichen will use all his strength to avoid fighting in the same room until the last resort.

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, may be the last person to stabilize the situation.

"Then we'll split up."

"Okay."

After saying goodbye to each other, Shen Yichen and Zhao Hongjie got into the carriage and walked in different directions.

Shen Yichen is preparing for the succession and canonization of the crown prince, and in the territory of Tongzhou Mansion in the north of Zhili, Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, is also preparing for the crown prince.

In a luxurious guest room, King Xiang and King Lu, who were supposed to be escorted to Fengyang Mansion along the Grand Canal on a prisoner boat, sat at the table in gorgeous clothes. Opposite them, sat Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, and his nephew, Dingyuan Bo Shi Biao.

"The two princes have suffered, and my father should have stopped the escort team earlier."

Shi Hengpi smiled politely, if it weren't for King Xiang, who still had use value, a deposed prince was not worth his whip at all, and rushed from Beijing to Tongzhou Mansion to meet him.

The accident that happened in Jingshi, from the moment the escort team was stopped, King Xiang and King Lu had already learned about it.

They could vaguely guess Shi Heng's intentions in their hearts, and at ordinary times, with the dignity of the two "descendant" princes, they would never be willing to become any puppets and hand over the ancestral inheritance to the hands of the ministers.

But now that the tiger has fallen in Pingyang, Shi Heng's appearance is like a lifesaver for them, how can they care about the other party's wolf ambitions, and hurriedly responded politely: "Where did the Duke of Zhongguo say, if it weren't for the help of the grandfather, this king would have been on the prisoner ship heading south."

After exchanging a few polite words, Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, got straight to the point and said, "Presumably, the two princes have learned from their subordinates about the changes in Jingshi, and the death of the crown prince has caused His Majesty to be seriously ill, and it has reached the point where the limit is approaching."

"As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and as a relative who is in retirement with the country, you cannot watch the turmoil caused by Your Majesty's childlessness. It is time to ask King Xiang to come forward again to supervise the administration of the country and support the general of the building when the country is in danger!"

Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, rushed to Tongzhou Mansion in such a hurry, just to take advantage of the chaotic period of the death of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu to push out Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, to supervise the country, so as to control the administrative power in law.

In fact, seriously speaking, it is the Empress Dowager Sun who has the highest legal power, but the problem is that Shi Heng has the same predicament as Shen Yichen, that is, as early as the period of the change of seizing the door, he offended the Empress Dowager and Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong.

Pushing the Empress Dowager Sun out of the mountain, the other party will most likely not be "grateful to Dade", and will inevitably encounter revenge afterwards. With the ambition of the loyal prince Shi Heng, how could he do such a self-digging thing.

Then it is logical to launch the second line of law and rule of law to King Zhu Zhan to supervise the country, and use him to control the power of the court.
