There are two long histories in the palace, with the left as the honor.

After Yuan Zonggao, the former right chief, left the palace six years ago to serve as the Jiangxi envoy, Xie Changjie came from the capital to take over Yuan Zonggao's position.

After the original Zuo Changshi died of illness two years ago, Xie Changjie was made up for Zuo Changshi's position.

He was born in the top three Tongjinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and he can be regarded as Yang Tinghe's "protégé", but his ranking is too low. After ten years without any hope of promotion, it took a lot of effort to get an official position in the right long history of the palace.

The royal officials are not expected to be promoted again, but there are other benefits. In the locality, the status is not low, and there are many fields and food in the palace.

He, the left long history, knocked some bamboo poles from the princess not long ago.

Now that the situation has changed abruptly, Xie Changjie is not a person for a while.

In his thoughts, Zhou Zhao had already said solemnly: "Xiaomiao has only one son, but the Daxing Emperor has no heir, and now the prince and the first king are all the sons of Xianmiao." Your Royal Highness, the unity of the heirs since ancient times, and the name of the legal system. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Houxi understood.

The ministers fought with Emperor Jiajing in a group, and they did not let people recognize their fathers and mothers because many morals and etiquette in this era were different from those of later times.

At this time, if there is no descendant, there are many examples of succession from the concubine, so that the family business can be inherited justifiably.

The current family business is the Ming Emperor and the co-owner of the world.

Whether it is the queen mother or the courtiers, they must support a righteous son of heaven, so that they will not be regarded as chaotic ministers and thieves and leave a handle for others.

This is not only the foundation of their interests, but also the foundation of Jiajing's own governance.

Normally, this is the case, unless......

Zhu Houxi remembered what Lao Qin said: I don't know if the edict was written on purpose, or if it was really not thoughtful. Anyway, Dao Ye grabbed those words and insisted on fighting for more than 20 years!

At this time, Jiang's tears finally flowed: "Wang'er, what should I do with that mother?" ”

"Mother, don't be in a hurry." Zhu Houxi had some confidence in his heart, and hurriedly comforted his mother, "What the edict says, after all, it's not clear." ”

"Exactly!" Zhou Zhao said, "The edict has not arrived, so there is no need to make a big move and talk about it first." ”

Xie Changjie persuaded bitterly: "Your Highness, what the minister just said, the royal palace will not be cut off, it is still the bloodline of Your Highness." Now we should focus on the ...... of the country."

"Shut up!" Jiang Shi was angry, and his tone was sad, "Are you vassals of the royal palace loyal to the prince like this?" If Wang Er is a stepheir, he can't call me a mother! Yili, I still need to bow down when I see Wang'er! The Queen Mother has no son, so she will take my son away......"

"The princess is cautious!" Xie Changjie was taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded.

"Isn't that it!" Jiang Shi pointed at him, "You all want our mother and son to be separated in order to succeed in the dragon!" ”

Xie Changjie cried with a sad face: "Princess, Your Royal Highness is your own son." Now that Your Highness has such a destiny, do you want Your Highness to only be a prince in the future for the sake of a name? The emperor and the ancestors are on the top, if you don't respect the example of the elder brother and the elder brother, how can His Royal Highness be edicted to ascend to the extreme? Now that the edict has been promulgated in the world, if His Royal Highness does not obey the edict, the world will immediately be in chaos, and His Royal Highness will be ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and he will be stinking for 10,000 years! The society of the country is important, and the ministers are hard to ......"

Zhu Houxi saw them pretending, and only realized the prestige of the queen mother and the elders, the selfishness of many royal officials, and the reputation of etiquette.

Although he has not really become an emperor yet, some clues can be seen in the scenes of the ministers crying and even dying in the future.

"Don't discuss this matter anymore, just close the door and wait for the edict first."

Zhu Houxi ended the controversy and returned to the "harem" area of the palace first.

Today's homework is more, and I know who the Fengying group is, so I have to go back and check the preserved Di Bao and the records that have been repaired by Xiaozong in the first dynasty.

It is also certain that the turning point should be in the expression of the edict.

The next morning, I was having breakfast with Jiang and his sister Zhu Qingyuan and sister Zhu Qingyi, when I heard Zhang Zuo come in and tell Changjie to ask to see him.

When he arrived at the main hall of the Carrier Hall where he received the officials of the palace, Xie Changjie knelt down and kept kowtowing after seeing Jiang and Zhu Houxi.

"The minister knew that he had misbehaved before, and he came to ask for sin today. The minister made the princess angry yesterday, and after returning home, she couldn't sleep and eat, and she felt that she would die a lot. Xie Changjie knocked so hard that his forehead was swollen, and if he knocked down again, he would immediately bleed, and his whole face was full of tears, "This is all the assets of the minister's family, I just ask His Royal Highness to give the minister a chance to reform himself." ”

Zhu Houxi deeply felt what is the power of power, and what is the front and back of the court.

Just because of the news that he was ordered to inherit the throne, Xie Changjie suddenly felt like a catastrophe was approaching and trembling.

But who made him do a lot of wrong things before?

The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were very important in the early years of the founding of the country, and the palace also had its own guards, generally speaking, there were three guards, with more than 10,000 people.

After Jianwen cut the feudal domain and the battle of Jingnan, the prince's strength continued to decline.

The guards are naturally gone, and now there is only the Department of Honor and Guard, and the backbone is selected from the Jinyi Guard. Coupled with the soldiers eliminated in the Beijing camp, the total number is only a few hundred, and a little better than a thousand.

And the subordinate officials of the royal palace, at the beginning, were all Hanlin scholars, and later became first-class jinshi, and now there are even people who take lifting people as a long history.

There is no hope for a career in this life, how can you live this life after you take office?

Be kind to be a happy and idle job, be more or less decent in the local area, and live a leisurely life; Those who are not kind, relying on the prestige of the palace, not only for the palace to collect wealth for the prestige, but also to enrich their own pockets. What's even less kind even dared to use the power in his hands to ask the court for affairs, and turned around to take advantage of the emperor's vigilance against the vassal king to knock on the bamboo pole of the palace.

Xie Changjie is the most unkind!

There was only one underage son in Xingwangfu, and Jiang was worried that his son would not be able to attack the lord after the end of his filial piety because of the impact of King Ning's rebellion, so he wanted to take the opportunity of entering the congratulatory table during the New Year to explore the situation.

And Xie Changjie exaggerated, the left sentence is now the court is afraid that there will be further reduction, Xing Wangfu is in danger of removing the seal, and the right sentence is that the court's ministers and foreign ministers are fighting each other, and they need to find a fellow villager and the same department to do more points, and they have extorted a lot from the Jiang family and the palace treasury.

Who knew that this orphan and widow suddenly had good luck from heaven?

Xie Changjie was frightened and worried, trembling all over.

Blackmailed the future emperor's family, and he thought about this remedy all night.

Now he is looking at Zhu Houxi with his eyes open, hoping to save a small life, or even more......

Zhu Houxi, who was sitting above, experienced the first direct impact of the change of identity at this time, and had a better understanding of the aura and majesty of imperial power.

After looking at the Jiang family, he said: "Xie Changshi, you are an official elected by the imperial court, how can you ask the palace for guilt like this?" ”

Xie Changjie was full of liver and gall, and without hesitation, he kowtowed his head again, and his forehead suddenly bled under the severe pain, and he cried sadly: "The minister knows that he deserves death, and the minister is a lard blinded by his heart, and he only feels that the title of the gold list of the ten-year cold window is going to die in the palace, and he is unwilling to make this big mistake." His Royal Highness is now in a dilemma, it is the time to employ people, although the character of the minister has been difficult to enter His Royal Highness's blue eyes, I only hope that His Royal Highness will allow the minister to repent and be loyal to the king. ”

Zhu Houxi knew that there was something in his words, and asked noncommittally: "Why is Xiao Wang in a dilemma?" ”

Xie Changjie was in good spirits and knew that the opportunity had come.

With a bleeding forehead, he said sincerely: "Your Highness has the intention of succeeding the emperor and not succeeding the heir, the consequences are unpredictable!" ”

Jiang really got nervous.

Zhu Houxi didn't speak, and Jiang Shi had already asked worriedly, "How do you say this?" ”

Xie Changjie said eloquently: "Your Majesty is a big deal, and the authority is exercised by the ministers. If the Queen Mother wants to be filial piety, choose a young son to succeed under the Daxing Emperor, not only with the help of a royal palace, but also to raise herself, during the period she can also follow His Majesty's will and the cabinet ministers to judge major matters and listen to the facts, isn't it the best choice? ”
