Chapter 16: Imperative

The words are not rough, the eldest princess of Yongkang is the common sister of Zhu Youzhu of Ming Xiaozong and Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian.

Zhu Houzhao is in power, she is her aunt; Zhu Houxi is in power, and she is also her aunt.

Her concubine is not very different because Zhu Houxi's heirs are not heirs.

"Grandpa Guo, what do you say?"

Xu Guangzuo lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and didn't say a word: It is true that the Xu family is one family and two countries, but how can they still take care of things, it is still such a big thing.

Zhang Heling looked angry when he looked at him, and then looked at the eunuchs: "Gu Dayong, Wei Lin, Zhang Jin, Xiaomiao, the Queen Mother, and the Daxing Emperor are all kind to you, what do you say?" ”

Faced with Zhang Heling's general eyes, Gu Dayong just replied calmly: "Master Hou, the old slaves are not qualified to discuss this. The first emperor's edict was that major matters were only handled by the queen mother and the ministers. ”

Zhang Heling didn't expect him to be so bold, and suddenly roared and said, "Could it be that now this is only decided by the elder Liang Ge?" His Highness has now made his words so clear, if he sets off tomorrow morning, won't it be as he wants? ”

"Elder Ge, this matter is undecided, don't move." Mao Cheng said bitterly, "When you get to the city gate, is there any reason not to enter the city?" Temporarily stationed in Liangxiang, you can go out of the city to welcome the solemn reason, first drag it out! ”

Gu Dayong kept silent, silently paying attention to Liang Chu's reaction.

Now the situation is delicate.

There are four cabinet ministers in the cabinet, Yang Tinghe is the first assistant, and Liang Chu is the second assistant.

The election of the new monarch, Yang Tinghe's candidate made Liang Chu have nothing to say, he can be regarded as a meritorious support; Liang Chu retreated and sought the next best thing, and fought for a success.

But now, Yang Tinghe has promised in front of the Queen Mother that he will inherit the throne as a parent, but His Royal Highness has made it clear that the heir will not succeed.

Letting him leave outside the city doesn't mean that Liang Chu agrees with his attitude?

At this moment, as long as Prince Liang decides to go to the palace outside the city first, he will really be in front of everyone in the capital. Do you really stay in the palace and argue?

If the heir has arrived at the gate of the city but has not entered the city for a long time, or even has been abolished and set up another person, then the queen mother and the cabinet have made a big joke.

Now that Yang Tinghe promised in front of the Queen Mother, he has to be consistent with his words and deeds, and he must be like Mao Cheng to persuade bitterly.

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji are Yang Tinghe's echoes, and it is only a matter of time before they annoy His Highness on this issue.

The situation in the Cabinet seems to have changed in the blink of an eye.

How will Liang Chu decide?

Thinking of the seal that the heir gave to Prince Liang before......

This point is not understood by a character like Zhang Heling, and everyone else thought of this thing, and looked at Liang Chu with their own thoughts.

Liang Chu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since the edict has been promulgated in the world, there is no reason to abolish and reform itself. Since it is imperative for His Highness to ascend the throne, what is the difference between being in the palace and being in a good country? No matter how controversial this matter is, in front of the Queen Mother, the crime of negligence is inevitable! I will first go up to express the situation and beg for bones. ”

A sentence of beggar bones shocked everyone, and they all thought about what changes Liang Chu's resignation and retirement would bring.

Only Mao Cheng looked at him in disbelief.

The prepared edict was interpreted by His Royal Highness in this way, and he is also a cabinet minister, is he just guilty of negligence? What is the crime of Yang Tinghe, who recommended the heir and led the drafting of the edict?

The key question is, can it be the Queen Mother who punished them?

Prince Liang, who is the most qualified to express his opinion on matters at this level in the Fengying group, said: Tomorrow I will go to the palace outside the city first.

The rest of the people could only hurry back to write down the situation, express their attitude, and hand it to Beijing.

This is destined to be a sleepless night, and tomorrow when the heir travels outside the city, he doesn't know what will happen!

Mao Cheng has eased up, and he is also very clear: as long as the Queen Mother and the ministers, including him, don't want to make jokes and don't want to be treated as chaotic ministers and thieves, the edict really can't be abolished.

In fact, from the moment the edict was promulgated in the world, it was impossible to abolish it.

The ascension to the throne was inevitable, and now it is just a matter of what etiquette to ascend the throne.

Although Prince Liang said that he would first resign from the table, in Zhu Houxi's eyes, it was a substantial support: Can Empress Dowager Zhang exercise the authority of the emperor to remove Prince Liang's position as a minister?

But it was another pressure to take the heir to the outside of the city as scheduled, and to photograph the Queen Mother and Yang Ting and their eyes.

At that time, the slightest delay will be a damage to the Queen Mother, Yang Ting and their reputation.

Mao Cheng felt that he was just as stressed.

Mao Cheng needs to rely on Yang Tinghe to enter the cabinet, and if he relies on Yang Tinghe, he has to go against Zhu Houxi, not to mention that he has already fought against Zhu Houyu just now, do you want to be a villain if his words and deeds are inconsistent?

The night is dark, and the nine gates of the Beijing Division are closed.

However, the personal soldiers under the command of Yang Tingyi in the Yinghu Army were able to be put into the city with tokens and knocking on the door.

At this time, the streets of the capital were swept cleanly. The mourning period of Emperor Zhengde was shortened to twenty-seven days, and this time had long passed. The capital has been lit up to welcome the new master to his loyal imperial capital tomorrow.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed rapidly through the streets, heading straight for the Forbidden City.

At this moment, under the report of Yang Yingkui, who was on the way back first, Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji had already entered the palace first.

Liang Chu and others were sent to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible.

It is impossible for Empress Dowager Zhang to discuss this matter in the main hall, nor can she lose her identity and go outside the harem.

After the Qianqing Gate is the Inner Palace, the emperor has summoned important ministers in the Qianqing Palace to listen to the government, and the Empress Dowager Zhang can only sit in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace at the moment.

Behind the curtain she had erected, she asked angrily, "What now?" ”

Wei Bin and Zhang Yong immediately knelt down together: "The slaves and maids are stupid and negligent, please ask the Queen Mother to confess." ”

"Put this set away!" Empress Dowager Zhang was very impatient, "Marquis Shouning said that the ministers harbored evil intentions, Gu Dayong met in private, and the heir led but did not send it, you are all colluding!" ”

"The Queen Mother is angry!" Zhang Yong and Wei Bin could only kowtow first, "The slaves and maids have not colluded in this matter, please check the Queen Mother!" ”

"You dog minions, do you think this palace won't be strictly investigated?"

Zhang Yong could only look at Wei Bin with trepidation.

Among the surviving eunuchs today, Wei Bin is the most flexible in his mind just looking at the night of the emperor's death.

It has always been him who knows how to deal with Wenchen best.

Now if one is wrong, maybe the Queen Mother will be over immediately under the anger.

Wei Bin knelt on the ground and cried in a mournful voice: "When Your Majesty was seriously ill, the Queen Mother discussed with the elders of the cabinet to have a stepson, but the ministers did not allow it. Nowadays......"

This basin of dirty water was splashed over, and the Empress Dowager Zhang had a cold face, and before she could speak, the outside of the palace finally informed Yang Ting that they had arrived.

"Xuan!"

Empress Dowager Zhang's cold voice crossed the hall where the coffin had been transferred, and reached the ears of Yang Ting and several people outside the hall.

Yang Tinghe let out a light sigh with a bitter face, and raised his feet to go to this game.
