Chapter 14: Taking advantage of the situation to force the palace

The news of Wang Zhi's resignation caused a sensation in the entire Beijing officialdom.

Now at this juncture, the Ming Dynasty cannot do without Wang Zhi, just as the West cannot do without Jerusalem!

Wang Zhi originally used this trick to threaten Sun Ruowei, which was also a trick that the officials of the Ming Dynasty used to "force the palace" tried and tested, but there are always exceptions to everything.

Once upon a time, there was a champion named Hu Guang, who was dissatisfied with Zhu Di's iron-blooded policy towards the relics of Jianwen, and resigned angrily.

Generally speaking, this kind of so-called resignation is backed by a faction of forces behind him, and it is a means to retreat as advance to achieve the goal.

But Zhu Di was not used to it, and immediately agreed to Hu Guang's resignation, and not only did he not have the slightest intention of calling him back as an official, but he actually sent Dongchang to collect evidence of the crime and go up to arrest people.

Hu Guang finally died in prison, and since then, no one has dared to use this method at will in Yongle Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Di also has one more black material in the wild history.

Sun Ruowei is also an exception, but her exception is very different from Zhu Di's time.

Zhu Di invaded Jinling under the banner of Fengtian Jingjing at that time, and even Emperor Jianwen could force him to death, so what is a mere civil official, so he naturally has the capital to engage in this "exception".

With the handle of the knife in hand, no one dared to say a word.

The question is, does Sun Ruowei have it?

The siege of Wara, Wang Zhi is the head of the old ministers and civil ministers of the Five Dynasties, most of the military power is in the hands of Qian, at this time he resigned, is it all about one Yu Qian?

Yu Qian also understands that this is roasting him on the fire!

What's more, he and Wang Zhi privately cited him as confidants, and they had to stand up against it because of reason.

Speaking of which, does Wang Zhi really want to resign?

Definitely not, as you get older, you don't have any other pursuits than being an official to gain fame.

Money and women are like dung to the current Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi simply doesn't want to be a lecturer in the Wenhua Palace anymore, afraid that he will be scolded by the current emperor if he goes there again.

Because Wang Zhi knows that he can't talk about others.

It is said that people still want to be other people's teachers, and they vainly claim to teach how to be the Son of Heaven, which is really a joke of the century.

Wang Zhi was an old minister in the Yongle period, and the champion was still hand-picked by Zhu Di back then, although he was not as impressed by Yu Qian as he was, he also knew that he was definitely not sincere in his resignation.

Wang Zhi is a person who values his name and understands the overall situation.

What we have to do now is to take advantage of this turbulent state of people's hearts and use the power of the ministers to get back the rights that belong to us.

Zhu Di came to the palace at night and said to the little man guarding the door: "As soon as I was tired, I said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to meet the old man of today's Wang Ge." ”

"Your Majesty forgives me, and the little one will go in and convey it." Hearing this, the little guy noticed the regular clothes on the person in front of him, and was suddenly startled, turned around and ran in.

When I passed the threshold, I fell on my heels.

Zhu Di didn't feel strange at all about this reaction, just stood there and waited quietly.

Wang Zhi was not in a hurry to return to the mansion, he knew in his heart that even if Empress Dowager Sun approved, Yu Qian was a smart person, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree to his resignation.

He sat in the middle of the house, drinking fragrant tea, waiting for someone to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, it was not his colleagues who were waiting, but Zhu Di.

Listening to the words of the little guy, Wang Zhi was frightened, and hurriedly greeted him in person, and was about to kneel down when he met: "Your Majesty, why did you come in person, the old minister is really ashamed..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhu Di didn't plan to enter the door, so he hugged Wang Zhi and said, "Daming can't live without you, I can't live without you!" Elder Wangβ€”"

"I came here this time to worship you as my teacher, and only you can be a scholar of Mandarin Palace!"

"Ahh Wang Zhi didn't expect that he would be promoted this time.

During the Hongwu period, the province of Zhongshu was dismissed, and the scholars of the palace pavilion were replaced, and the number was the cabinet.

During the Yongle period, the palace system was perfected by Zhu Di, although there was no formal hierarchy, but over the years, it has also been roughly divided into status.

His Chinese Huadian University Scholar specializes in the Prince's East Palace Lecturer, presides over the banquet and day lectures, and ranks third in the cabinet.

Wang Zhilao burst into tears, looking very moved, and he was about to kneel, but Zhu Di couldn't help him.

"Your Majesty treats the ministers like this, and the ministers are grateful, and there is nothing to repay!"

"What did Elder Ge say? I am just looking at the talents of the pillars of the country, and I am very sad to be deposed at this time of national crisis. Zhu Di laughed and said:

"I will go to Renshou Palace with the ministers to administer justice for the elders!"

Wang Zhi stood up and wiped his tears while saying: "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, Your Majesty is like this, the fortune of the country!" ”

......

Renjuden.

Late at night.

The breeze ran through the window eaves and caressed the cheeks of the woman on the bed through the screen.

The woman rolled over and was asleep.

A small eunuch holding a palace card came to the side hall to sweep as usual, and said with a smile to the female official guarding the door of the inner hall: "Niangniang went to bed early today? ”

The female official pinched her nose, took a few steps back, and said with great disgust: "Lord Wang of the Ministry of Officials asked for his resignation, and the mother was in a bad mood, so she went to bed early." ”

"I said, can you change some clean things and sprinkle them?"

The little eunuch sneered and said, "Sister said that it was a joke, it is not up to us to decide whether to change the things of the superintendent, we just have to sprinkle and sweep." ”

The female officer waved her hand again and again: "Hurry out after sprinkling and sweeping, I'll be annoyed when I see you." ”

"Hey, hey."

The little eunuch didn't dare to talk back, so he had to respond continuously, but he suddenly heard movement outside.

When he opened the palace gate, he saw a scene that stunned him.

Zhu Di led the ministers to the outside of Renshou Palace, followed by Yu Qian and Wang Zhi, and someone shouted: "Please restore the Queen Mother to her old position, Lord Wang is loyal to the court!" ”

"Stabilize people's hearts, you can't do without Wang Zhi, the Queen Mother, please take back your life!" Yu Qian also shouted.

"Please let the Queen Mother come out of the palace and wait for me!"

"Please leave the palace!"

The ministers kept shouting, Zhu Di stood on the steps at this time, raised his hand and waited for everyone to look at him, and then shouted loudly: "I came today to make decisions for everyone, and in front of all the Qings, I will worship Wang Zhi as my teacher!" ”

"Scholar of Mandarin Palace, it must be him!"

Wang burst into tears, no matter whether his feelings were sincere or in vain, his acting skills were almost able to sing on stage, and even Zhu Di almost believed in his evil.

"Your Majesty..."

"Colleagues..."

"I'm Wang Zhi, how can I do it!"

Sun Ruowei walked out of the Renshou Hall with sleepy eyes, looking at all this in front of him, his eyes widened, and his whole body trembled in extreme anger, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.

At this time, Zhu Di turned to look over and asked: "Wang Zhizhi's loyalty, I can see it, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can be seen!" I want to worship him as a scholar of the Mandarin Palace, and assist me in governing the country! ”

"Does the Queen Mother have to disobey the opinions of my Manchu Dynasty civil and military and act arbitrarily!"

Sun Ruowei didn't expect that the new emperor had only been on the throne for more than ten days, and he would unite the ministers so quickly and follow him to force the palace.

She looked at Yu Qian, who was standing in front of the ministers, and asked, "Does Yu Shangshu also think that should be the case?" ”

Yu Qian understood that Sun Ruowei was using this sentence to say that she treated herself well.

However, when it comes to the general trend, Yu Qian will not act according to his personal feelings, he said with a straight face: "Yes! The Queen Mother should be like this, Da Ming can do without Yu Qian now, and he can't do without Wang Zhi! ”

Sun Ruowei took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the female official quickly held her up.

"Now that you've all decided, why do you come and ask the mourning family what to do?"
