Chapter 20: Speak Straight About the Situation

Empress Dowager Zhang's face was ugly, but she could only ask him to sit down and speak slowly.

Zhang Yong and Wei Bin on the side had just finished reading Xie Jian at this time, and they also only felt that today was too exciting.

Your Highness is really ...... What a means!

Is this His Highness's own idea, or is it the handiwork of the Yuan Changshi recruited by his side?

Now, they can't help but want to hear Jiang Mian talk bluntly about the current situation.

Jiang Mian pondered for a moment and then spoke: "Establishing a successor or establishing virtue has always been controversial since ancient times. If you seek stability, you will stand up; Seeking treatment is virtuous and virtuous. It's just that throughout the ages, virtue is difficult to speak, and it is often accompanied by bloody storms and tragic events, so for the sake of all generations, after all, it is mainly to establish a successor. ”

"Now, however, His Highness is holding both ends. The first emperor had no children, and the choice of His Royal Highness in this situation was more stable because of the Lun Order. Now, if there is no heir, the slightest instability can be compensated for with the wisdom and skill shown by His Highness. ”

Zhang Yong's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother.

This is indeed a wrist, and even Shousuke's emotions are stimulated and collapsed.

Jiang Mian's expression was complicated: "What Your Highness said in today's Xie Note deserves to be a clever sentence. His Royal Highness has an extraordinary appearance, at the age of fifteen, although he has not offered a clear and feasible strategy, but he can already be called a prodigy. Its duty is open-minded, and it is also the style of a gentleman. ”

"The edict will be interpreted like this, and it is indeed difficult for the ministers and the queen mother to argue. Although His Royal Highness was scheming to receive the edict first, if he fought in Anlu, and all the officials of Huguang were present, the matter would be out of control. The secret is not announced, although it is beneficial to His Royal Highness, the Queen Mother is also respectful, and the ministers are even more decent. ”

"His Royal Highness is unwilling to abandon his blood relatives and serve the great sect, and he is perfect in filial piety; His Royal Highness is willing to use his own blood to succeed the emperor of Daxing, and Yu Zhong is perfect; His Royal Highness cherishes the ancestors of the country, and has the ambition to fight for the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, both benevolent and brave; His Royal Highness has not arrived, and the ministers have already retreated, isn't it a plan? ”

"If the Queen Mother and her ministers insist on succeeding to the heir and then succeeding to the throne, His Royal Highness really resigns and is comfortable sailing in the sea of books in the palace, then it is a letter to his word. In this way, the world is leisurely, but it is inevitable to deny the intentions of the queen mother and ministers. It is understandable that the queen mother is unwilling to be the heir of the temple, and it is an old practice for the ministers to be afraid of the disorderly inheritance, but it is a good thing to give up this with benevolence and righteousness, both loyalty and filial piety, both etiquette and wisdom, and a king who is trustworthy in his words. ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother's heart was cold, and she seemed to have no way out.

"His Royal Highness is serving the edict prepared by the Queen Mother and her ministers, and the name of righteousness is already in hand. The queen mother and her ministers can change the edict again, but if you want to be loyal to the Daxing Emperor, you can only choose the youngest son to succeed the Daxing Emperor. The drawbacks of this have been made clear on the night of the emperor's great trip. ”

"Jiefu was raised at the age of 12 and Jinshi at the age of 19, and became famous at a young age. With Jiefu's current ability, I can see that Xie Jian only had one Highness who was deceived and wanted to lead hundreds of officials to persuade His Highness's idea, isn't it also because the wood has already been completed? Now that I see Xie Jian, I know that His Royal Highness is very strong-minded, and I am afraid that he will not be able to persuade him. ”

"Queen Mother, the edict has been issued, although His Royal Highness has not yet ascended the throne, he is already the monarch's father in the eyes of the world. At this moment, it can be abolished again, but that is tantamount to rebellion. Forgive the ministers for bluntly saying that the matter of succession and succession to the unification depends on the ministers or not; Whether you listen or not depends on the Son of Heaven; Whether you are convinced or not, whether you can calm down after the disaster and the wall depends on the support of the civil and military officials and the people. ”

"As long as His Highness insists on going his own way, then a hundred years later, it will be nothing more than a definitive conclusion in the history books about who is the faint king and who is the rebellious minister. Now His Royal Highness has told his ministers with this letter of thanks that if he does not listen to persuasion, the officials and subjects will probably still be convinced. Even if there is a disaster, with the heroism of His Highness, it can probably be calmed. Tang Taizong has a Xuanwu change, and my Ming Taizong has a difficult move, but now who will say that these two are not Ming Jun? ”

At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yong, and Wei Bin were really stunned.

The words of Tang Taizong and Ming Taizong have all been spoken, and they are straightforward enough.

“…… Elder Mao Ge, do you think that's the case too? Empress Dowager Zhang's tone became panicked.

Mao Ji saluted: "Ninety-five Supreme, how heavy is the authority?" If the faint king acts, the world will be in chaos. If the Ming monarch insists on it, the world will be governed. Since ancient times, in order to be a righteous monarch, you must first establish a prince and choose a famous teacher to teach it. After succeeding to the throne, he set up hundreds of officials to assist him and advise his ministers. The actions of the righteous monarch are often also manifested by the struggle between the monarch and the minister, and there is a suspicion of the monarch and the minister fighting for power. ”

"His Royal Highness was born in Anlu, grew up in Anlu, and was taught without a famous teacher. His Royal Highness's inherently extreme words, and the advice of his ministers are certainly contrary to his ears, and he will be admonished one after another. His Royal Highness's words today, although his ambition is high, he can't help but be stubborn and self-serving, and underestimate the difficulties of national affairs! Succession is a prudent choice, and a rich country and a strong army are not a sentence that can be achieved overnight without sticking to the old ways. Before going to the palace tomorrow, the minister will speak impartially to His Highness! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was angry: "If you don't get a famous teacher, you don't have a famous teacher, do you only have how to govern after he ascends the throne?" What about succession? ”

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji could only kneel there without speaking.

Empress Dowager Zhang's heart is like ashes: now none of the cabinet ministers has prevented him from ascending the throne with the attitude of succession but not heir.

This is all a sentence in the Xie note, or that sentence is disloyal to Emperor Daxing.

Can he only make a decree to abolish him?

"Hongu understood. You all want to keep a good reputation, so now you are actually persuading this palace not to go your own way. What if the main palace is to appoint someone else? ”

Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly said something gloomy, and Wei Bin and Zhang Yong only felt a chill on the back of their necks.

Jiang Mian was silent for a moment and then bowed his head and replied, but his tone was very resolute: "Jiefu has said that he can't do anything like Yihuo, and the minister will naturally do the same." ”

"Bengong Yi's order, you don't obey?" Empress Dowager Zhang's tone was extremely cold.

"Queen Mother." Jiang Mian gritted his teeth and made up his mind to knock his head on the ground, "The ministers are all dead and ask the Queen Mother, you must not talk lightly about the abolition of the establishment, this is the source of chaos!" The heir has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, and once it is abolished in front of everyone's eyes, the soldiers will suddenly rise! Even if I can put down the rebellion, my Ming vitality will be greatly damaged, and the country will die one day! ”

"If he doesn't succeed to the throne, don't you also say that it will be like this?"

"Ministers should be loyal to them. The subjects of the world are not yet aware of this great gift dispute, and even if the ministers cannot make His Highness change his mind, they must also advise His Highness not to be busy chasing the king and the princess. In this way, there is still time to prepare for the unexpected. However, the abolition of the establishment is together, and the news spreads far and wide, and the harm of the two cannot be compared. ”

Behind the curtain, Empress Dowager Zhang's face was full of frost, and Queen Xia, who was originally confused, finally faintly understood.

The heir is unwilling to succeed the heir, but he is willing to succeed a prince to raise her, so that Emperor Zhengde will not have an heir!

Queen Xia could only suppress her expectations, but she looked at the queen mother with a cloudy face in fear and apprehension.

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't expect that the cabinet ministers would be forced to retreat by such a letter of thanks, and she turned to persuade her not to set up another person.

called Queen Xia over, but she couldn't get off the stage.

This is what they said before, and if there is no heir, there will be no succession?

They all understand that as long as the emperor is capable enough, nothing is a problem?

"Hongu understood." Empress Dowager Zhang finally spoke, "Then tomorrow, you will persuade His Highness first, and then report to the palace to make a decision." ”

“…… The minister also has a word, ten thousand deaths. ”

"Speak!"

Jiang Mian thought that he had said this anyway, and he hardened his head and said: "If Your Highness resolutely succeeds to the throne and does not succeed the heir, there will be many hidden dangers in passing on a son to Emperor Daxing." Even if His Royal Highness wants to make the Daxing Emperor immortal, he cannot take the liberty of succeeding the prince in the future. Either the prince has grown up, or he can only choose the youngest son in the outer sect, and directly ...... the domain."

Empress Xia's heart sank suddenly, and Empress Dowager Zhang was already angry and said: "Get out!" Get out of the way! ”

"Wait for the resignation!"

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji immediately left in a hurry.

The sound of the broken porcelain cup behind him came, and it was Wei Bin and Zhang Yong who knelt in response.
