Chapter 15, Liang Chu's decision

Only the subordinate officials of the palace headed by Yuan Zonggao were left in the palace, and Xie Changjie asked in despair: "Your Highness, didn't you say that it is better to take the throne first?" ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes narrowed slightly and looked at him: "Xie Changshi, when did I say that I should focus on ascending the throne first?" I never had an heir. ”

Xie Changjie opened his mouth and watched speechlessly as Zhu Houxi invited Yuan Zonggao and other accompanying officials of the palace to go to the back hall.

Zhou Zhao stayed in the palace temporarily, and Xie Changjie was only addicted to the official leaders of the palace for a few days, and now he has become a lonely person, not a person inside and outside.

On the courtier's side, he is a former minister of the palace who is loyal to the heir; In the eyes of the heir, he is a courtier who persuades the heir to be unfilial and has a bad record.

At this moment, on the back hall side, Yuan Zonggao said with relief: "Your Highness is really a British apocalypse!" With the etiquette of entering the city, the old man of Guanliang Pavilion did not say a word, it seems that it is really the best time. The old minister was worried before, and His Highness can deal with it easily! ”

Zhu Houxi saluted him: "It's still Master Yuan's analysis is correct, since I am in the edict, I have the name of righteousness in my hand." At this point, they will either revoke the edict and send me back, or they can only admit their mistakes and persuade the Queen Mother. Zhang Zuo, have you already talked to Gu Dayong? ”

In the more than 20 days since he received the edict, Zhu Houxi has already been the heir, and no one will say anything if he wants to see anyone again.

The seal given to Prince Liang, after summoning Gu Dayong, Zhang Zuo used the reason for the inner palace to contact Gu Dayong, and Cui Yuan......

Such a long time is enough time to make some necessary preparations.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly reported: "Back to Your Highness, the slave has already made everything clear. ”

After summoning Gu Dayong, he learned that the four pavilion elders on the night of the election had even excluded the six Shangshu.

If Liang Chu hadn't insisted on it himself, and had Gu Dayong's support, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Fengying group.

When Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, entered the palace to worship, he loudly questioned Yang Tinghe at the Zuoye Gate why he didn't invite Jiuqing to discuss it.

Among the courtiers, they are not monolithic. Now that there are loopholes in the edict, and Zhu Houxi has clear opinions, it will naturally be divided into two factions.

But in this situation, only the eunuchs had no choice.

Zhu Houxi smiled: "Then send my Xie Jian to the palace." They should have been arguing by now. ”

Yuan Zonggao hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, do you really want to go up that thank you note?" This is Bichen's suggestion...... Quite a bit of adventure. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded categorically: "You must send it!" I have the bottom in my heart, and Master Yuan is relieved. I hope that after Elder Yang Ge and the others see me tomorrow, they will not continue to be stubborn. I've come here, and I'm not going back! ”

Yuan Zonggao nodded slowly, and then knelt down: "I'm afraid that the cabinet ministers will finish their resignations for a while, and His Royal Highness will not tolerate meritorious ministers, admonishing ministers, and not allowing old ministers." ”

Zhu Houxi's attitude was firm: "Whether my reputation is like this or not, it will not be determined by this one thing alone!" ”

This is also one thing that Zhu Houxi must do to break through his past character.

Jiajing's big ceremony discussion lasted for more than three years in the first stage.

Zhu Houxi doesn't seek a final word, that's impossible. However, he wants to try his best to make Yang Tinghe and the others not so righteous and awe-inspiring!

……

The Fengying group was already arguing, and Yang Yingkui, who was full of anticipation, trembled.

"If it is according to His Highness's wishes, wouldn't it be directly succeeded by the vassal king? With such disputes, what will the kings of the world think in their hearts? Mao Cheng's eyes were red, "Zhang Jin, Gu Dayong, one of you will go to announce the decree first, and the other will meet in private." Your Highness has such thoughts now, is it instigated by you? ”

Gu Dayong said coldly: "Our family met in private but ate a closed door, the bullet seal of the great uncle has been sent to the palace, and our family has also asked for guilt." Our family only remembers that the Queen Mother said it clearly that night, and Elder Yang Ge also promised to be the heir, what kind of edict did the cabinet draft? Uncle Dazong didn't dare to ask Liang Ge Lao, and it was useless to talk about our family. ”

Zhang Heling reacted immediately, staring at Liang Chu with flickering eyes: "This is intentional!" Why can't the heirs be written and then the succession? On the same day, His Royal Highness was established, and all the people present were the most knowledgeable among the elders and the Hanlin bachelors to be recruited. Since he knew that the Queen Mother was most concerned about the issue of succession, Yang Ge Lao also personally said that His Royal Highness succeeded to the throne as a parent, how could he leave such a mistake in the edict? ”

He came over with a blank eye, because he was the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and he wanted to get another merit in front of the new emperor under the name of the Queen Mother and Emperor Xiaozong in the future, and talk about the relatives of the uncle of the country! Now that this heir is unwilling to succeed, isn't it all messed up?

"Your Highness An Neng took the words out of context so much, and coerced the edict to respect himself!" Mao Cheng spat and flew, "Father-in-law Gu, is it you or someone in the palace who misinterpreted the edict?" ”

Gu Dayong sneered: "Is the great uncle going to hold on to this?" If our family has this kind of knowledge, the Qianqing Palace will fight for it that day! Our family said that we want to discuss our family's crimes, but our family can only wear the guilt to be investigated. The most important question now is what to do tomorrow! The palace in the city is ready, I'm afraid that the big books are out of the city, and the palace outside the city has already been built! What if His Highness does not enter the city and ascend the throne? ”

"It's hard to ride a tiger!" Zhang Heling gritted his teeth and looked around, only to feel that everyone was suspicious.

If there is such a flaw in the edict, can't the scholar and monk see it? These Wenchen are suspicious!

Zhang Jin and Gu Dayong, who had been to the palace in advance, these minions knew how to meet their expectations best, and they were just as suspicious!

went all the way to the outskirts of Beijing to point out this problem, doesn't that kid understand that if he wants to sit on the emperor's throne, he must at least be someone's son? That kid is also scheming with the royal officials!

The source of everything is the expression of the edict, and Zhang Heling opened his mouth to come: "Since there is a problem with the edict, then change it!" ”

Liang Chu sank his face and looked at the two hundred and five in disbelief: "Can the edict be abolished and changed at will?" ”

"Then why don't the elders prepare the edict first?" Zhang Heling was arrogant for two days, and his eyes wanted to eat people, "Could it be that this is your calculation?" His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother are fighting, and it is you Wenchen who will benefit! ”

"Your Highness, this has been provoked by traitors!" Mao Cheng immediately retorted, "As long as we declare the ancestral teachings to His Highness and explain the benefits and harms, His Highness will understand." ”

"You just said so much, why didn't Your Highness understand?" Zhang Heling glared at Mao Cheng, "Are you just waiting for this moment?" Your Highness can see the flaws of the edict, how can you not know that you are so knowledgeable? This is deliberate, now they are all in the suburbs of Beijing, and it is difficult to ride a tiger! A sentence that focuses on the overall situation, is it just for the Queen Mother to admit it? This marquis is also a member of the Fengying group, I don't agree! ”

"Since Your Highness has misinterpreted the edict, naturally you can't agree with Your Highness's intentions!"

Mao Cheng's opinion surprised Zhang Heling a little, he saw Xu Guangzuo looking out of the matter, and asked Liang Chu: "Elder Liang Ge, what do you say?" Proposed edict, you also have a share! You were all promoted to the cabinet by the first emperor! ”

The tone seemed to be persecuting, ignoring the status of Prince Liang's cabinet minister, and the hat had already been covered.

Liang Chu glanced at him lightly, with some momentum.

Zhang Heling was a little angry first.

Liang Chu slowly spoke: "Yang Yingkui, you go back to the city immediately and return His Royal Highness's meaning to Yang Ge Lao." ”

Yang Yingkui was relieved, although this errand was also very hard, but it was better than being scared and afraid of not being able to do anything here.

When Yang Yingkui went out, Liang Chu said again: "I'm afraid I can't wait for the opinions of the Queen Mother and Yang Ge Lao today, not to mention that I still need to persuade His Royal Highness." The news that we have arrived in Liangxiang has reached the capital, and at this moment the officials and people in the capital are looking forward to it, if we do not see His Royal Highness enter the city for a long time, I am afraid that a great chaos will arise. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the palace outside the city! ”

"Elder Liang Ge really wants to focus on the overall situation, and make mistakes first?" Zhang Heling immediately said, "I don't agree!" Cui Juma, you say something! ”

In Zhang Heling's mind, he and Cui Yuan are both the queen mother's people. One is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, and the other is the brother-in-law of Emperor Xiaozong.

Cui Yuan kept smiling bitterly, and only then did he speak: "Master Hou, what's the use of me talking?" ”

Zhang Heling sneered: "Regardless of whether the heir is the heir or not, anyway, he is the nephew of the eldest princess of Yongkang, yes or no?" ”

Cui Yuan's face changed: "Hou Ye is cautious!" ”
