Chapter 26, two consecutive defeats
Yang Tinghe and the others were stunned for a moment, and they knelt down again after standing up.
"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 to enter on the same day!"
Yang Tinghe couldn't help asking, "Is it an oracle?" Can there be a will? ”
Gu Dayong shook his head, and Yang Tinghe stood up stunned.
His Majesty wanted to persuade again, but the Queen Mother descended first: she didn't even make a show to let someone send someone back to the city to ask for an order, and she had already sent down an edict last night.
Although it is not explicitly stated that only the heir will not succeed, nor will it fall into words, but so many people in the palace today have heard what he said just now, and the heir has ascended the throne with the attitude of succeeding the unification and not succeeding the heir.
This would be a fait accompli. Today, the heir has said everything so thoroughly, and it will be entangled to discuss this matter in the future.
Yang Tinghe gritted his teeth and knelt down again: "The old minister Wan Death plays, please Your Highness: the ritual note can be changed, but Your Highness should know that there are many hidden worries about only succeeding the unification and not the heir, and the old minister asks His Highness to slow down and pursue the king." ”
Zhu Houxi frowned: "If the name is not right, it is not good, after I succeed to the throne, I should welcome my mother and concubine into the palace, and I will also honor my biological father and mother as the queen mother as soon as possible, which is the filial piety that a son of man should fulfill." ”
Yang Tinghe came from the sorrow, and asked in a pleading tone: "The Chenhao Rebellion has just subsided, I hope Your Highness will be sympathetic to the people." If you know that His Royal Highness is succeeded by a vassal king, how about the other vassal kings in chaos? ”
"It's not messy!" Zhu Houxi raised his voice a little, "This is a special occasion for the alternation of unification, with the experience of King Anhua and King Ning, why not let the local government first use the twenty-seventh month to bind the palaces in the palace to mourn for the Emperor Daxing?" Without the disturbance of the vassal king, the people will only applaud! ”
Yang Tinghe opened his mouth, but he didn't expect him to answer like this.
Don't you want the support of the clan relatives?
"When I ascend the throne, I will reward the kings. With the combination of grace and power, how easy is it for today's vassal kings to mess up? ”
At the beginning of his succession, how could Jiajing, who had made a fuss about the Great Rites Discussion, not encounter any rebellion from the vassal king?
Zhu Houxi softened his tone and continued: "After listening to the things that the elders have been working in Beijing for more than a month, I know that you also want to reform and make new changes. The direction is the same, so don't waste energy on the form of how I succeed to the throne. Elder Yang Ge, you should know very well what the result of this matter will be. Condemn me to death and go along with me, won't that become a party dispute? None of them are interested in state affairs, I don't want to do that, understand? ”
Yang Tinghe stopped talking.
It turns out that the old ways are just about dealing with this matter?
Is it that he Yang Tinghe lacks a bit of courage?
No...... Yang Tinghe looked up at Heijun, and saw in his eyes the kind of meaningful insight that only belonged to adults.
It was really insightful, as if Yang Tinghe had turned around in his heart, he knew everything.
Understood, with a hint of tapping.
Yang Tinghe is not fighting for this right to speak.
The fifteen-year-old king, Yang Tinghe's predecessors, had a hard lesson. How can Li Dongyang endure the humiliation and burden, and how many years has the reputation of "Prime Minister of Companion Food" been spread?
One bad thing is that the ministers continue to grow bigger, and treachery is rampant.
The emperor is young and vigorous, and the probability that he is a wise monarch is too low.
Yang Tinghe only knows now that he has lost more than half of his plan.
Agree to change the ritual bet, and lose the first round.
Here it is clearly agreed that he will not succeed the heir, and it is the second leg that he lost.
Next, they all want to reform and try to innovate, but how to implement the new policy must be the third round.
With the character of this heir, can he really listen to persuasion?
This is Yang Tinghe's last insistence.
In a complicated mood, Jiang Mian knelt down again: "Your Highness, the minister Jiang Mian asked His Highness, and he also needs to be cautious when he succeeds his son to the name of Emperor Daxing." Since Your Highness has made up your mind, why should you bury the troubles again? ”
Zhu Houxi looked at Jiang Mian meaningfully.
Wise man.
It is very useful to lift the roof a little more.
After thinking about it for a while, he said, "It's too early to say this, I'm only fifteen years old, what's the hurry?" ”
It can't be the eldest son, let alone the eldest son, who knows that it was the Year of the Monkey?
Zhu Houxi just showed his "attitude".
Jiang Mian said these words, and when he achieved his goal, he stopped talking.
The others just looked at Jiang Mian and scolded secretly.
Seeing this, Gu Da saw this, and after bowing, he turned around and walked to the door of the palace and sang loudly: "The queen mother's dictation: 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 palace can be persuaded on the same day!" The heir is promoted to sit, and the hundred officials will see you! ”
……
The heir of the Ming Dynasty and the Son of Heaven after today finally appeared in front of the civil and military officials and even the representatives of the military and civilian elders in the capital.
Standing in the front row, Xu Pengju, who faintly heard the voice in the hall just now, led the important ministers who were qualified to enter the hall, and after coming in, he first bowed four times.
Xu Pengju saw Xu Guangzuo nodding at him, and also saw the trance in the red eyes of Yang Tinghe and the others, as well as the admiring gazes of Gu Dayong and the subordinate officials of the royal palace when they looked at the heir.
He took out the first persuasion note carefully prepared by the staff master, raised his hands high and said loudly: "Minister, Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, ask His Highness to ascend the throne early." ”
Three persuasions, three remarks, unspoken rules.
For the sake of solemnity, the routines are fixed.
Zhu Houxi sat firmly on the throne, watching so many people in front of him take out the persuasion notes one by one, and the person in charge of etiquette collected them and put them on a plate and presented them in front of him.
And Zhu Houxi shook his head, sighed and said the words of the first resignation: "Please not allow it." ”
"Minister, Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, please ask His Highness to ascend to the Supreme Majesty as soon as possible to comfort the hope of the masses!" He pulled out a second note of persuasion.
Zhu Houxi took a letter of persuasion this time and looked at it, and replied pretendingly: "Reading Qiyi increases the sense of sorrow, how can you bear to talk about the enthronement?" Please do not allow it. ”
"The heart of the four seas yearns for a special yearning, minister, Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, looking forward to His Royal Highness to obey the ancestral teachings, subservience to the feelings of the group, less suppression, and eager to ascend to the throne!"
Another round of persuasion notes was sent up, and this time I read a few more letters, and I kept kneeling at the bottom.
Zhu Houxi knew that he might handle it more beautifully than Jiajing, because he knew the direction of this matter and the bottom line of all parties more clearly, because he had discussed it with Zhou Zhao, Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Zuo and others very frankly, because he did have an adult's heart.
With the blessing of the aura of imperial power, it seems to have a sense of power.
But he knew that this was only because the matter of ascending the throne was indeed difficult to ride a tiger, and Yang Tinghe's personality and the foundation of his strength determined that he could not be the power traitor - before Zhu Houzhao died, the "Eight Tigers" who were hated by Yang Ting and them were still favored and held power.
The original Jiajing also passed this hurdle, but the later Great Rites Debate still lasted for many years.
How much have you changed?
Then the real struggle for power begins in specific matters.
Thinking of this, after Zhu Houxi put down the persuasion note in his hand, his eyes looked at everyone firmly: "Look at it again and again, Gu Jianqing and others are loyal and loving." The sect and society are heavy, and they dare not refuse, so they reluctantly obey the invitation. Where is the Ministry of Rites? ”
Mao Cheng replied with a complicated mood: "Minister, Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, meet His Highness." ”
"Yu Qin was ordered by the emperor's brother Daxing Emperor to send officials to welcome the arrival of Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Cishou decreed that the throne could not be empty for a long time, and the emperor was ordered to be on April 22. Erwen military officials and military and civilian elders persuaded them together, and then to three, and their words were sincere, and they reluctantly obeyed what they were invited, and they came to hear it. ”
"Obey the order!"
The sound of the mountain calling long live sounded outside the Xuanwu Gate in the capital and on the side of the altar of heaven and earth.
