Chapter 26 The Speculator Xu Hui

"The mourning family knows that such as today's Zibei Hunt, people's hearts are unstable.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, the court cannot be without an owner for a day, before the emperor returns, the people of the world must have a backbone. ”

Empress Dowager Sun said in a normal tone.

The atmosphere in the hall became delicate again, and many officials looked at each other and began to sweat.

Because with this sentence, a real problem is turned over to the table.

In this situation, who should call the shots?

What does it mean that a country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and what is the backbone of the world?

Only the emperor can bear this name.

The emperor is not there, only the prince.

Before His Majesty left Beijing, he handed over the Beijing camp and the nine gate garrison officers and soldiers to the Queen Mother, and since this time, the Queen Mother has always been a family member.

But in fact, it was the king of servants who was appointed to supervise the country.

Empress Dowager Sun took the initiative to pick out a problem that everyone had to face.

In the absence of the emperor, who was the prince?

What should the emperor do if he doesn't come back?

It's not unfounded, it's something that can happen all the time.

No matter what it says to the outside world, it doesn't matter if it falls into the hands of the thieves, or it doesn't matter if it's a northern hunt.

Everyone present knew in their hearts that the emperor was not a guest in Wara, he was captured on the battlefield, and a small life was now in the hands of others.

Although the current situation is all right, I don't dare to attack the emperor first, and I have to eat and drink well.

But what if?

What if you don't care about it and be a madman?

The emperor is alone in the enemy camp, in case there is some accident, there is a short-eyed Warat man who wants to do something to the emperor?

These are unpredictable.

Or, just like the Jingkang Change, he also held the Son of Heaven hostage first, took him captive to the north, and imprisoned him for several years or even more than ten years?

These are the worst-case scenarios, but no one dares to speak at this time.

Empress Dowager Sun's thoughts have been revealed.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Sun said directly: "Before the emperor left Beijing, he said to the mourning family that after the class teacher returned to the court, he would choose a day to canonize the prince."

Yesterday, the mourning family discussed with the king of Yu, Wang Shangshu, Jin Shangshu, Yu Shilang, and the general constitution, and today I will also discuss it with the Qing family in this court.

The meaning of mourning the family is to announce to the world, the Ministry of Rites, and the Qintian Supervisor chose an auspicious day, and the emperor's eldest son Zhu Jianshen was appointed as the crown prince, in order to calm the heart of the world. ”

After yesterday's incident, Empress Dowager Sun knew that this matter could not be delayed, and the more it was delayed, the easier it was to change, and it was necessary to set her name as soon as possible.

Not surprisingly, Empress Dowager Sun, a female streamer, categorically did not dare to have the same mind as Empress Lu.

Therefore, what the Empress Dowager Sun chose must be her own grandson, and the eldest son of the emperor is the crown prince.

There is silence in the Fengtian Palace, and the time is minute by minute, not the courtiers live like a year.

And Empress Dowager Sun waited patiently from beginning to end.

Finally, someone was about to speak.

"Minister, Hanlin edited Xu Hui to play."

"Quasi".

Everyone was amazed, everyone was walking on thin ice, even the books were pretending to be deaf and dumb, a small five-grade Hanlin editor, dare to wade into this troubled water?

Xu Huo is a Jinshi in Xuande for eight years, this name may not be famous, but in the future, he will still have a name.

Xu Youzhen.

After the Tumubao Incident, he was the first minister to propose to move south to avoid trouble, and he sent his family away early.

Later, when Jingtai Dynasty, the official career was not smooth, thinking that Yu Qian was obstructing him, so he formed a mortal enmity with Yu Qian.

Later, Daizong was critically ill, and this person connected with the eunuch Cao Jixiang and the military general Shi Heng from the outside, and brazenly launched a change to seize the door and put Zhu Qizhen of the emperor back on the throne.

On the occasion of seizing the door, Zhu Qizhen was dragged to kill the national heroes headed by Yu Qian, mutilated family members, stole the first assistant, and formed a party for personal gain, which made the Zhongxing of the Jingtai Dynasty short-lived.

In the end, evil was rewarded, and Li Xian was the general of the army, lost his favor, degraded again and again, and exiled to Yunnan, until the Chenghua Dynasty was pardoned, and died depressed.

It can be said that Xu Hui is a speculator through and through.

At this time, Xu Hui looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said righteously: "The prince is the foundation of the country, where the righteousness of the law of etiquette lies, and the law of the ancestors,

However, the emperor's eldest son is young and weak, and this kind of country endangers the situation, and the ministers are afraid that the emperor's eldest son will not be able to hope for the people in the world.

Your Majesty is hunting in the north, people's hearts are floating, if the prince is registered at this moment, it is inevitable that people's hearts will be panicked, the people will be uneasy, and they will speculate up and down.

Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, and the queen will have a son in the future, what is this title?

The ministers thought that when the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, he would do the canonization again, so as to calm the hearts of the ministers and the people. ”

Xu Hui gave the reason that even if he established the eldest son of the emperor, how could a two-year-old doll contribute to the overall situation?

Empress Dowager Sun has already had a countermeasure: "The eldest son of the emperor will be recorded in the name of the queen and sent to Kunning Palace to be raised by the queen."

The prince was too young to govern, so he needed help.

Before His Majesty returned to Beijing, the government affairs of the court were handled by the king of the court, and the king of the palace supervised the state of the auxiliary government. ”

Empress Dowager Sun made a compromise and took a step back, King Yu can gain power, but it must be the crown prince who has been established first to ensure the inheritance of the throne, even if something really happens to the emperor, the new monarch must be the emperor's son.

This is the bottom line of the Empress Dowager Sun.

Even, Empress Dowager Sun can accept King Yu to go further, but in the end, the emperor must be on his own son's side.

Who would have thought that Xu Hui would be aggressive: "King Yu is a prisoner of the country, and now His Majesty has unfortunately fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the situation is in danger."

The minister Xu Huo admonished, when there is the chief regent of the king of Yu, the prime minister's affairs, and the supervision of hundreds of officials, so that the court can be united. ”

The general regent, the regent and the auxiliary, the change of one word, is very different.

Xu Hui's meaning is to hand over all the power to the King of Servants, and everything is decided by the King of Servants.

Empress Dowager Sun's auxiliary government is actually to put power in the hands of the prince, but the prince's year is exercised by King Yu.

With this change of words, the center of power is completely different.

Xu Hui was not satisfied with this, and continued: "Our Lady is the master of the harem, the ancestors have said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the mother should not interfere in the politics of the court. ”

This is a blatant Empress Dowager Sun asking for power.

Empress Dowager Sun's face changed suddenly, and when she looked at Xu Hui's rightful face, her lungs were about to explode.

Many people in the hall gasped, and even dared to say such a thing, this Xu Huo was crazy.

A hint of surprise and a smile flashed in Zhu Qiyu's eyes.

This Xu Hui really gave him a surprise.

When the news of Tumubao came, he was the first person to express his loyalty in letters, and between the lines, he was willing to saddle his own saddle before and after.

Empress Dowager Sun laughed angrily: "Treacherous, the Emperor Ming ancestor has a saying, my Ming Dynasty inherits with the eldest son, there is no eldest son, and the elder brother is the last brother."

Loyal and patriotic, where have you read? ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Hui was not afraid at all, his voice raised an octave, and he pushed back in public: "The law of the ancestors is immutable, and we and other scholars cultivate themselves, work together as a family, govern the country, and take it as our responsibility to level the world."

Now that the Ming Dynasty is unstable, the Ming Dynasty needs a long monarch who can be trusted by the people and courtiers.

The prince is young, the country has no long monarch, and the future of the Ming Dynasty is worrying.

The minister is by no means against the law of the ancestors, and it is not too late to make the prince when the king is in charge, and it is not too late to set up a prince when the world is peaceful. ”

Empress Dowager Sun sneered in her heart, if he is let Zhu Qiyu be the chief regent, will my grandson's crown prince still be stable?
