Chapter 21: Crazy Stirring

From Yang Tinghe's proposal of "coaxing and deceiving and intimidating" to suddenly breaking down and crying, from Jiang Mian's so-called outspoken situation to advising her not to count on her heir and grandson so quickly, things have changed so quickly.

Now Empress Dowager Zhang is sad in her heart except for anger, and there is no way.

Then Han Guang looked at Wei Bin and Zhang Yong.

In her heart, things have developed to such an extent, and it is the reason why Yang Ting and them have made a mistake in drafting the edict, but the eunuchs who first went to announce the edict and then met in private are also very suspicious.

All of a sudden, it was as if everyone was colluding.

"Wei Bin!"

“…… The slave is here! Wei Bin only felt that Empress Dowager Zhang's tone was very wrong.

Empress Dowager Zhang's expression was hideous: "Is it that you colluded to woo His Highness!" ”

Wei Bin suddenly kowtowed and cried: "Queen Mother, the new monarch was elected that day, and the old slave was afraid that the ministers would take over the government without authority, so they risked their lives to test whether they could let the Queen Mother listen to the government." At that time, as long as the ministers quoted scriptures and reprimanded them, the queen mother was persecuted, and she could behead the old slave on the spot! The old slave is loyal, and he can learn from it every day! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang remembered that night, and there was indeed this experience.

Thinking that the ministers were so jealous of her to listen to the government, and now that the heir she said was good, her eyes suddenly showed sadness.

Seeing her expression, Wei Bin immediately continued: "Seeing this Xie Jian, you should understand that the old slaves really don't have the courage and talent to pry His Highness!" So far, only the old slaves are loyal to the Queen Mother! The new monarch has always used newcomers to ascend the throne, and the courtiers have never disliked the old slaves. ”

Zhang Zhong, Zhang Rui...... The elder cabinet suggested that the queen mother gave them permission, and the old slaves were cautious and did not obey. Seeing that the people who grew up in the palace together were imprisoned one by one, how could they dare to do such a thing? Wei Bin burst into tears, and his forehead was bleeding, "The old slaves are all people who serve Emperor Xiaozong and His Majesty, no matter how stupid they are now, they know that they can only rely on the Queen Mother to retain a bit of dignity." ”

"It's good to know!" Empress Dowager Zhang thought in her heart, "Do you have any other ways now?" ”

“…… The slave asked the queen mother to go back to Renshou Palace first, and the slave and maid had some heartfelt words, please consider the queen mother. ”

Wei Bin looked at her face and stood up when he saw her gritting her teeth: "Go back to Renshou Palace first!" Now that you know who you can only rely on now, you should know that this palace only needs a decree to kill a few of your slaves! ”

Wei Bin wiped his tears and followed behind, saying that he didn't dare.

Damn, I finally had the perfect time to say that.

There are four words in the secret letter that Gu Dayong brought with him at the earliest: Vitality is in the south.

These four words are now being digested in Wei Bin's stomach.

Yang Ting and they can persuade the Queen Mother like that, but Wei Bin, who lives in the palace, has to find ways to convince the Queen Mother emotionally, and they have to make the heir understand their importance now.

Now the dispute between the heir and the courtiers has risen, and he is about to add to the fire!

When they arrived at Renshou Palace, Zhang Yong and Wei Bin knelt there together.

Looking at the old slave who was trembling with fear with blood on his forehead, Empress Dowager Zhang sat down and took a sip of the soup that went to the fire, and sat in front of them with Empress Xia and said coldly: "Say it." ”

Wei Bin gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "In just over half a month, Your Majesty has not gone far, and many years of hard work have been wasted. His Royal Highness admires His Majesty so much, is it true that His Majesty's achievements in the past 16 years are all maladministration? The Queen Mother must distinguish between loyalty and treachery! ”

"Oh? Who is loyal and who is traitor? Remembering that Yang Tinghe suggested that he take them, and they began to attack Yang Ting and these cabinet ministers again, Empress Dowager Zhang laughed angrily.

The wound on Wei Bin's forehead was still there, but the blood stains had been wiped away, and now it was swollen high.

He didn't care about the pain, and said righteously: "Queen Mother, the old slave doesn't understand so many etiquette words. But if you want an old slave to value his father and mother the most, he must be a filial child, this reason couldn't be simpler, right? ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was noncommittal and continued to look at him coldly.

Wei Bin stubbornly said: "The elders of the pavilion say that this is a means of His Royal Highness, but if you want the old slave to say, if you don't choose the young son and heir, you are afraid that the queen mother will hang the curtain, and if you don't choose other princes to directly follow your brother, the queen mother is unwilling, and the courtiers may not be able to suppress it." It's that His Royal Highness has no father and no brother, and he is only fifteen years old, which is most to their liking! ”

If Yang Tinghe listens to this kind of words, I am afraid that he will have to fight hard to ask the Queen Mother to behead him.

Smooth tongued! Who persuaded the emperor to have a son in the early years? If you don't agree early, when you are seriously ill, you will have a young son, the source of trouble!

With the imperial power, where are the courtiers bent on suppressing the emperor together?

Wei Bin is living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but now the situation is different, and this is the harem in private.

Empress Dowager Zhang just felt that she was "abandoned" by the courtiers, and she nodded when she heard Wei Bin's words: Wouldn't it be over if you chose a young son and heir earlier? It's nothing more than the fear of hanging the curtain to listen to the government, or using eunuchs and relatives to suppress them.

Wei Bin is in the mixed palace, I don't know how many years I have dealt with these women, and I know that the more plain the words, the better.

Seeing Empress Dowager Zhang nodding, Wei Bin continued: "Elder Jiang Ge finally mentioned the matter of Grandpa Taizong, which shows that these people don't care so much about whether they have an heir or not. It was said well that night, but now it seems that the proposed edict does not make it clear what you mean at all, the Queen Mother. The old slaves only know how to do things faithfully and don't learn skills, but with the knowledge of the elders, can't they do this little thing? ”

The old thing was brought up again, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was most annoyed by this source, and suddenly snorted heavily.

"But from the four pavilion elders to Mao Shangshu, as well as the hundred officials in Beijing who already know the content of the edict, none of them brought it up first, and there is something inappropriate! The old slave has figured it out now, they did it on purpose! Queen Mother, this edict is a dead end! ”

"Deadend? How so? The Queen Mother felt a chill in her heart.

"Even if His Royal Highness succeeds the heir first and then succeeds to the unification, in the future, as long as one person is arranged to have one more mouth, saying that the edict clearly says that the son of the king is to succeed to the throne, will His Highness hate the queen mother after he understands it?"

"If His Highness first sees that he is unwilling to succeed to the heir, they will join forces to say that the heir can succeed. If Your Highness obeys, you will have to listen to the officials in everything in the future. ”

"Even if His Highness can't see it, His Highness is willing to succeed him, and in the future, he will definitely make a fuss about His Highness's unfilial piety to his biological parents. Queen Mother, they are winning left and right, you have to rely on these courtiers no matter what. Either rely on them to suppress His Highness's heir, or rely on them not to let His Highness hate you and do something rebellious after he ascends the throne! ”

After today's changes, Empress Dowager Zhang has long known that she can only rely on the cabinet, and now the cabinet is not reliable.

Hearing Wei Bin analyze the sinister place behind it, she was suddenly furious: "Her heart can be punished!" ”

"Not only that, but His Highness will also be pressed into submission by the courtiers, where can he exercise the power of the king? Isn't that the case after Your Majesty ascended the throne? If you want to do anything, someone will persuade you with a big reason, and Your Majesty has no choice but to use the old slaves to build a leopard room to train the soldiers! ”

"The slave maid only figured it out today, His Royal Highness said it, that is Your Majesty's lofty ambition! It's a pity that Liu Jin killed the talent, and got carried away after receiving the trust! But His Majesty continued to trust the old slaves all the way to Daxing, just because he wanted to get more power from the courtiers! Poor Your Majesty's ambition has not been rewarded......"

When Empress Dowager Zhang thought of Zhu Houzhao, her eyes were also red, and Queen Xia couldn't cry.

Wei Bin was now agitating all kinds of emotions, and only then did he say: "Queen Mother, the old slave dares to swear to Grandpa Xiaomiao and His Majesty's Spirit in the Heavens, Zhang Jin and Gu Dayong definitely did not pry His Highness!" It was His Highness's wisdom that was far beyond the imagination of the courtiers, and he knew that he could not follow the strategy they set step by step. ”

"Your Highness wrote this thank you, that is also risking your life, I would rather offend the Queen Mother than destroy the sinister intentions of the courtiers! The Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness admires Your Majesty and says that the courtiers are conservative people, which offends the Manchu courtiers! Would someone who really values that person do such a thing? Your Royal Highness, this is afraid that I will have no authority from the Son of Heaven after the Ming Dynasty, and all the major policies will be decided by the hands of important ministers. ”

"If the old slave didn't fight that day and let Gu Dause, so that Shou Ninghou and Cui Juma could go together, I don't know what would happen! What happened to Anlu, I'm afraid it's all up to them! ”

Wei Bin earnestly advised: "Queen Mother, whether you are a stepheir or not, Your Highness and Your Majesty are cousins, King Xingxian and Grandpa Xiaomiao are both brothers, both are descendants of the ancestors of Xianmiao, and they are a family!" If you don't believe the words of the Zhu family, do you believe the words of those foreign ministers? What will happen to my Zhu family, now it is all about the queen mother's thoughts! ”
