Chapter 22: The Situation in a Messy Mess

A Zhu family's rivers and mountains came to her ears in a single thought, and Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but look in a trance.

"What do you think should be done?"

Wei Bin's eyes were suddenly very firm: "Queen Mother, Your Highness has offended all the courtiers, Your Highness just wants to use this letter of thanks to tell you that if he succeeds to the throne in this way, he can only rely on you." Is the identity of the heir more reassuring to you, or can you only rely on you to fight with the courtiers to make you feel sure? ”

"In the opinion of the old slave, at this moment, the Zhu family can only work together to turn the tide! The queen mother should make mistakes and let the calculations of the courtiers all come to naught! His Royal Highness's wisdom, Jiang Ge Lao was convinced, and he was afraid. It was because he was afraid that he kept praising His Highness like that. The wiser they say about His Highness, the more you will believe that it is just His Highness's means, and His Highness's benevolence and filial piety are fake. Even His Highness wants to give a son to His Majesty, but they are stopping it! ”

"They even brought out Tang Taizong and Taizong's grandfather, this is a killing! If Your Highness can't do something great in the future, they will only say that Your Highness is just like Your Majesty and didn't listen to them. Just like Your Majesty, because of the use of slaves and maids, it is all bad government! If you don't listen to them, you're guilty of bad governance, how can there be such a reason? ”

"Queen Mother, now only by fully supporting Your Highness can Your Highness make persistent efforts to set things right! With His Royal Highness's wisdom and heroism, how he wants to govern the country, you rely on him, this is the most suitable person entrusted by the Ming Dynasty! A hundred years later, you have met the grandfather of Xiaomiao, your majesty, your ancestors, and you can also say that you have picked a real lord of Zhongxing! ”

Wei Bin spoke impassionedly, but the more Empress Dowager Zhang listened, the calmer she became.

It turns out that they all have their own calculations.

Wei Bin's killing efforts to slander Yang Ting and them so hard, and praising that heir so sparingly, didn't he also persuade himself to back down?

The kid's ascension to the throne can't be stopped, and I don't know how many people wagging their tails at him!

But it's also an opportunity. The courtiers and Wei Bin were attacking each other.

The heir can't be changed, and no one can change her as the queen mother, and no one can drive her away!

In any case, whether the matter ended so easily or not had to be nodded by her.

Empress Dowager Zhang finally slapped the table: "Wei Bin, you send someone to Liangxiang, and let Gu Dayong listen to what Yang Ting and them will say before they arrive at the palace tomorrow." If His Royal Highness insists on his own opinion, and the hundred officials will be entangled, he will announce an edict: The heavenly position cannot be empty for a long time, the heir has arrived in the palace, and the civil and military officials inside and outside the country can be persuaded on the same day. ”

At the very least, we must stand on a position that puts social welfare first and understands the general righteousness.

If Yang Ting and them can't fight for one or two, they should understand that the Queen Mother's opinion is still important!

Wei Bin and Zhang Yongxue exited the gate of Renshou Palace, looked at each other and exhaled in unison.

"Old Wei, I really convinced you today." Zhang Yong gave a thumbs up.

Wei Bin sighed faintly: "Hey! The Queen Mother just saw that Her Majesty was resolute and went down the steps, have you forgotten the Queen Mother's arrangements for Concubine Shao? There will be no peace in the harem, but only the more chaotic the situation is, the more we have a chance to survive. ”

The two looked at the Forbidden City, which had gradually disappeared into the night.

At this moment, it is really preliminarily cleaned and ready to welcome its new owner.

The queen mother is fighting for status, the ministers are fighting for power, and only the remnants of the Eight Tigers are fighting for their lives.

Take the greatest risk and seek the humblest desire.

……

Before dawn on April 22, some people in the capital and Liangxiang had already gotten up early.

But in fact, many people don't sleep all night.

After nightfall, the three ministers in Beijing all entered the palace, and at this extremely sensitive moment, I don't know how many people in Beijing were nervous.

The Nine Gates of the Jingshi, which is still under martial law, don't know how many knights rode in and out one night, and I don't know what kind of message is being transmitted.

Although the three ministers later came out of the palace, they refused to come to inquire about the news. It is said that there was really chaos in the Yang Mansion for a while.

At this time, in the Yang Mansion, Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen had already put on his crown clothes, he looked at his father, who was a little dazed and haggard all night, and asked in a panic: "Father, didn't you say that you would rest for a while after writing the official document?" ”

"What time is it?" Yang Tinghe asked hoarsely.

"It's just past three o'clock."

"Liangxiang over there...... It's time to go. Yang Tinghe closed his eyes, his eyelids trembled a little, "Father should also go everywhere to see the preparations, and then lead hundreds of officials out of the city." ”

"The child asked them to prepare some ginseng soup......

Thinking of so many things today, seeing Yang Tinghe's current spirit, Yang Shen was worried.

Yang Tinghe didn't tell his family what happened after entering the palace last night, but his state when he came back scared his family and subordinates.

Seeing his son's appearance, Yang Tinghe suddenly felt more tired than when Emperor Zhengde was still there.

However, after wearing an official uniform and drinking some ginseng soup for breakfast, Yang Tinghe gradually lifted his strength again.

Now Yang Tinghe is already a very popular minister, and he only hopes that this ill Daming will be revitalized in his hands.

Embrace a new monarch who is already fifteen years old, and when he is about to become a minister, he can hand over the new Ming to him. It's just that I didn't expect that this new monarch would be even better than Emperor Zhengde.

Whether you are really ready to make a big move, or use this matter as a bargaining chip for no heir, this is not the royal road!

Yang Tinghe already has a new mission: he must hold this young dragon and prevent him from bringing Da Ming to the abyss.

This is the real virtuous minister, good minister, loyal minister!

The sky gradually brightened, and before the morning sun rose, Yang Tinghe went out of the house and went to the palace to check the preparations for the ceremony.

Hundreds of officials were already waiting outside the noon gate. Today is not a court meeting, otherwise they all have to get up at midnight, and they have to wait outside the noon gate before the end of the day. As soon as the time comes, you will enter the court.

And today the heir can only get outside the city, so it doesn't have to be so early.

At present, the civil and military officials still carry persuasion notes on their bodies, and those with higher status wait and talk in the straight room, and those with lower status can only stand outside. Fortunately, it was the end of April, and the chill of the night quickly dissipated.

At this moment, in a straight room, gathered together were the lords. Surrounded in the center was Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei who rushed to the capital from Nanjing.

Xu Da's two descendants, Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo in Beijing, went to Anlu to meet the new monarch, and Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, had the task of leading his ministers to persuade him, and the honor enjoyed by this Duke of Shuangguo was speechless.

Xu Pengju is still very young, he just took the knighthood three years ago.

But Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding next to him, still said: "Grandpa Guo, I don't know what happened last night, do you have any news?" ”

"If you want to be well-informed, of course you have to ask Jianchang." Xu Pengju asked Zhang Yanling with some stammering, "Brother Yanling, what news is there in the palace?" ”

Zhang Yanling shook his head with a calm face: "I don't know." ”

But his expression betrayed him, and Guo Xun sighed worriedly: "Don't go wrong......"

The others looked at the three men and said nothing.

In the note on the enthronement ceremony prepared by the Ministry of Rites, Guo Xun is responsible for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and Zhang Yanling is responsible for offering sacrifices to Zongmiao Sheji. This great credit is unfortunate to others, but Guo Xun and Zhang Yanling value it very much.

In the midst of the discussion, the prelude of Honglu Temple, who was in charge of the etiquette of the court meeting, shouted outside: "All the ministers are in the ranks, go out of the city to welcome them!" ”
