Chapter Eighty-Six: Welcoming the Castle Sect
Following.
Morning meeting.
The ministers with different minds once again stood together.
Hu Hui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the chief writer of the record of orthodox traitorous ministers, and the preliminary compilation of eighty-one ministers such as Wang Zhen and Sun and other ministers in the orthodox period, please read it to Your Majesty." ”
Eighty-one people!
What a concept, this is just the first version!
Many people immediately exchanged their heads and discussed, this Hu Hu, as an old minister of many dynasties, would really think about Jingtai and do his best to compile this traitorous minister's record.
The first edition involved eighty-one Beijing officials, and when he finished compiling it, wouldn't most of us who were officials in the court become traitors of the unified dynasty?
Hu Hu didn't seem to hear the other courtiers pointing at him, in his opinion, how could these people know their more noble thoughts.
Wang Cheng stepped forward, took the first version, and then handed it to Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair.
The courtiers below were very puzzled, because the eunuch who came forward this time was a fresh face.
Maybe Wang Cheng has risen very quickly in the inner court recently, but these courtiers with eyes higher than the sky will not pay much attention to the ups and downs of a certain eunuch in the inner court.
When Wang Cheng stood on the Fengtian Hall for the first time, many people were stunned.
Who is this guy?
What about Hung Yen?
What about Kim Young?
These two big crotches are the well-known inner court handles!
Under normal circumstances, it should indeed be Xing'an or Kim Young to do this.
Previously, Wang Cheng was just the third master of ceremonies, even if he had the convenience of the Qianqing Palace, such a major matter should not be done by him, a junior in the inner court.
But the problem is that Kim Young has already been taken.
In the last coup d'état, Jin Ying was arrested by the soldiers of the Beijing camp led by Hu Li, the commander of the Jingying Qian, for colluding with the Sun family and bewitching the empress dowager.
Unless the gods come down to save him, he will not be able to come out for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Wang Cheng, as the third pen, naturally took over as the second pen of the current ceremonial supervisor.
Xing'an is still the palm print of the celebrant eunuch, but compared to Yang Shan and others, Xing'an, who has served in the inner court for decades, is very aware of the current situation.
For him, it was time to step down and make way for the virtuous.
Xing'an recently refused to attend the court meeting on the grounds of illness, taking the opportunity to get out of the court's vision, and even the affairs of the celebrant were gradually handed over to Wang Cheng.
For these, Zhu Di saw it in his eyes, but he was silent all the time.
Therefore, the emperor's attitude is very clear, and he has the intention of letting Wang Cheng take charge of the celebrant and supervisor.
Although Xing'an is still the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, who is really in power, many palace ladies, eunuchs and concubines in the inner court fully understand.
Wang Cheng backed Emperor Jingtai, knocked out Jin Ying, suppressed Xing'an, and became the only big crotch in the inner court today, and from now on, after Wang Zhen, another ancestor appeared in the inner court.
This old ancestor is Wang Cheng who Zhu Di picked up.
Wang Cheng's fortune deeds are slightly similar to Wang Zhen's, they are both backed by the emperor's trust, so that they can call the wind and rain in the inner court.
As for Wang Cheng's ability to defeat Jin Ying and suppress Xing'an, it is entirely because Zhu Di, who he is attached to, has great power, and it has little to do with his personal ability.
No matter how great Wang Cheng's ability is, Zhu Di has no real power, and he can't compete with Jin Ying and Xing'an, the two old big crotches, in the inner court.
From this point of view, how important it is for a eunuch to follow a good master.
But compared with Wang Zhen's disaster and chaos in the country, Wang Cheng is much more shrewd, he has always been very clear about his positioning, and he is very reassuring to Zhu Di.
Xing'an's Mingzhe protected himself and avoided the disaster of blood and light for him, even if Wang Cheng had the intention to liquidate, because Zhu Di had not spoken, he had to give up.
Zhu Di will not kill indiscriminately, but will only kill those who should be killed.
Xing'an has always been relatively honest, and Zhu Di also had a great intention of recruiting him before, although Xing'an did not completely rely on him, but he has also cut off contact with Sun Ruowei since then.
If he kills his entire family again, it will inevitably form a situation where everyone is in danger, and it will not make sense to make a one-size-fits-all regardless of whether it is good or bad.
Regarding Wang Cheng's attitude of hinting at wanting to get rid of Xing'an several times, Zhu Di has always been ambiguous, and has neither opposition nor support.
Therefore, Wang Cheng has never dared to further attack Xing'an.
He understood that if the emperor really intended to get rid of Xing'an, he would say it clearly, and this unclear attitude was actually not wanting to do it yet.
Receiving the list in his hand, Zhu Di frowned slightly and asked, "Why is there still Wang Ji here?" Get his name out! ”
"Wang Ji has meritorious service from me, and he should be sealed, not a traitor."
"What did you do?"
Hu Hu looked very frightened, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, but the minister is dizzy, and the minister will go to lead the ministers who compiled the list to check overnight. ”
"As for the matter of flattering Wang Zhen in the past, it should also be re-verified."
"Very good, get up." Zhu Di smiled slightly, and said to his subordinates: "Wang Ji, you have made great achievements this time, don't worry, I will reward you." ”
Wang Ji was a little flattered.
I really didn't expect this new emperor to be so holy.
Thinking that he has fought on the battlefield for the imperial court for decades, he dare not say that his combat achievements are higher than those of Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, but he is definitely not much, but he is not guaranteed because of the disaster of Wang Zhen's party.
The reason why Wang Ji is now in his sixties and still takes his son to the battle in person is that he doesn't even want his face, and completely abandons his own honor and disgrace, and what he wants is the well-being of future generations.
Zhu Di understands this, so satisfying him is also a means to win over the nobles.
Wang Ji was in tears, and he only felt that when he met the Ming Lord again, he couldn't wait to be thirty years younger all of a sudden, and continue to fight on the battlefield for the emperor in front of him and establish meritorious achievements.
"Your Majesty Longen!"
"Over the years, you have been wronged, and I now rehabilitate you, which you deserve." Zhu Di motioned for him to get up, then turned his head and asked:
"What else do you have to do?"
Xu Bin, the head of Taichang Temple, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister proposes to welcome back the emperor!" ”
"The Emperor Taishang has been hunting in the north for many days, and the Queen Mother is now insane, presumably due to her earnest thoughts, and now the Sun family has rebelled and been punished, all because of her own fault."
"For the sake of the Queen Mother, please welcome back the Emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly fell silent.
Welcome back to the Emperor.
It's too sensitive to bring it up at this time.
Emperor Jingtai had just seized power through a coup d'état and was in the process of liquidation and reward, so the brief mention of taking back Emperor Taishang was obviously a declaration of war on the emperor.
Xu Bin's words, even old antiques like Wang Zhi and Chen Xun are a little unbearable.
You brought up such a big matter yourself?
Isn't this not taking our old ministers of the cabinet in our eyes, whether to welcome back the emperor or not, it is the cabinet that should be suggested to the emperor, not you Xu Bin!
