The topic that Zhu Houxi dropped was too heavy.

He has already ascended the throne, and he still does not agree with him on this issue of succession to the throne, what is it not disloyalty?

As an emperor, can you use disloyal ministers?

At the time of the court meeting, the honor guards were all over the court, and under the eyes of everyone, Zhu Houxi really ran up with a calm attitude, circling the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Hall and the Jinshen Palace.

And on the side of the West Corner Gate, Huang Jin really made people light a stick of incense, put it at the door, and read out the emperor's will aloud.

Yan Song only felt that people were about to go numb, hesitated for a moment, picked up the pen and continued to write on the living note:

[April 16th year of Zhengde, Wushen, on the west corner gate of the imperial court. Because the ministers attacked each other, they did not know the character and ability of the officials, and they did not want to depose the important ministers when they were old and new. and set up new regulations, oppose it with resignation, do not persuade him to stay, and dismiss him three times. Subsequently, the Ministry of Rites ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss the four things of the Emperor Honor, the Empress Dowager Cishou, the King of Xingxian chasing the Emperor, and the Princess of Xingxian to add the title of the Queen Mother, but Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, refused to do so. 】

[It is said that since he has been edicted to the imperial pole, it is disloyal to oppose the heir to the filial piety temple. The commander ordered the ministers to reflect on their loyalty, and then explain their attitudes. He said that he had the old habit of running in the morning, burning incense, and waiting for the ministers to introspect. Sprinting in the Fengtian Gate......]

Such an account is not in line with Yang Tinghe's judgment, but Yan Song wrote it like this.

Even the Son of Heaven can refuse to check it, what about the cabinet ministers?

Moreover, this is the status quo in the first place.

He thought about it and felt that he had nothing to introspect about, so he stood up and said, "Xia Guan Xi is the living note, can you go to Fengtianmen to observe His Majesty's morning run, so that it can be recorded?" ”

“…… Go ahead. "The only person who can speak here at the scene is naturally Yang Tinghe.

"The next official will go too." Liu Long is not to be left behind.

"Dingguo Gong, does Your Majesty really have the habit of running in the morning?" Some of the military ministers were in high spirits and asked Xu Guangzuo.

Xu Guangzuo nodded: "Before waiting for His Majesty to leave for Beijing in the palace, Your Majesty does have morning exercises every day. ”

After saying this, many lords and military generals looked at Yang Tinghe and other ministers in unison.

Known:

Your Majesty is a man who is used to grinding his muscles!

The ministers are most worried about the Son of Heaven using force and war!

Now Your Majesty asks the ministers to reflect on their loyalty!

Disloyalty is the same as someone trying to rebel!

Someone is going to rebel?

The military ministers immediately looked at the civil ministers expectantly.

How much of a beautiful thing is that?

The ministers were uncomfortable and aggrieved by the military ministers' gaze on merit—even if it was only for a moment, and then they habitually pushed back.

At this time, Zhu Houxi really ran under the gaze of Yan Song and Liu Long.

They could only see two backs, and the original palace Fengzheng Zhang Zuo followed with difficulty.

Yan Song and Liu Long are already in their forties, and they can't keep up with them in official robes.

God knows how His Majesty could have been so light under his outer robes?

“…… His Majesty had expected it a long time ago. Yan Song spoke.

Liu Long remembered the advice of his in-law Cui Yuan, sighed and said, "Yes." ”

"Congratulations to Shunqing."

"Only the middle is happy......" Liu Long was in a strange mood, but sighed again.

Now inside and outside the West Corner Gate behind him, the top priority is still unresolved.

After a short silence, there was already a commotion behind him.

Liu Long couldn't help but arch his hand to Yan Song: "However, when I mentioned that I came here to watch His Majesty's behavior, it made me feel less troubled. ”

“…… When His Majesty returns, you and I will have to show our attitude. Yan Song squinted at him slightly, "What does Shun Qing think?" ”

Liu Long seemed to like to sigh, and he sighed lightly: "Since Your Majesty has already made your attitude towards the Queen Mother and the ministers clear before ascending the throne, why does Mao Cheng still bother with this question?" ”

"Shun Qing is pretending not to understand?"

"Please solve your doubts!"

Yan Song shook his head: "Let's keep watching...... It's incredible, it's hard to imagine that Your Majesty is less than fifteen years old...... Yuan Zonggao didn't say a word today, and Wei Bin's failure to serve the court meeting is also intriguing. Yang Ge is old, they are in a hurry. ”

Liu Long looked at him with wide eyes.

Yan Song only smiled slightly, looking secretive.

Zhu Houxi didn't wear a gown today, but now he can move lightly.

Today is the court meeting, and the Son of Heaven has come to the area of the former dynasty.

The Han generals of the Jinyi Guard, the red helmet generals of the 3,000 battalions, the fork and knife bibs of the five military battalions, and the Xunwei scattered horsemen were distributed in the former court area of the palace, and many of them saw the Son of Heaven running.

He was running, and no one was carrying him.

The Son of Heaven is not fast, but he has been walking evenly and very steadily.

One, two, three......

How far is it to go around the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Palace, and the Jinshen Hall in the previous dynasty?

The guards on duty usually guard or patrol, and they know about it.

His Majesty did not go out of the Fengtian Gate, but went around to the Qianqing Gate. In this way, it is almost two miles away.

Now His Majesty has actually run to the third lap, the speed is a little slower, but the pace is still steady, and Zhang Zuo's face is already pale.

"You're resting here, the palace is full of my forbidden guards, what are you worried about?"

Zhu Houxi left Zhang Zuo in front of the right door of the Fengtian Palace, and his footsteps did not stop.

The Han generals who were on duty all puffed up their chests, knelt on one knee and bowed their heads and waited for His Majesty to run over.

Yan Song and Liu Long watched the emperor run round and round from such a distance, and everywhere they went, the guards knelt down and stood up like waves.

A stick of incense burned for about two quarters of an hour, and when the Son of Heaven reached the fourth lap, the guards finally realized how far His Majesty had traveled and how long it had taken to take this seemingly unfast pace.

To put it mildly, not everyone in Jingwei can use this time to run so far in one go.

Zhu Houxi only ran a little more than four laps, just over 4,000 meters, and it took nearly 20 minutes.

For him, this was a daily exercise, and he had to set aside time to go to the Huagai Hall to wipe his sweat and tidy up his clothes.

Of course, after walking out of the Huagai Palace, it was still refreshing to see the admiring and fanatical eyes of the guards.

This is also a special way to subdue the guards.

Although he, as the Son of Heaven, should have reaped this loyalty, it was also useful to show off the results of his perseverance for nearly two years in front of these specially selected strong men.

It would be better if they went back and thought that the Son of Heaven was like that, so we didn't have to go and practice.

After Zhu Houxi walked back to the West Corner Gate, his breath was already out of breath, and Yan Song asked respectfully: "I don't know how far Your Majesty has run, but the minister is good to record it in the living note." ”

"Eight miles."

"Your Majesty, it's ten miles!" Zhang Zuo reminded aggrievedly.

"You've only run two laps and you're dead, do you know how far it is?"

Zhu Houxi shook his head, and didn't say anything to Yan Song and Liu Long, and the person had already walked into the West Corner Gate.

The people who saw him slowly began to calm down inside and outside the West Corner Gate, and his previous speech was drowned out in the quarrel of the ministers, and no one reported it.

Zhu Houxi sat down, and someone next to him suddenly handed over tea.

"There is still some time, thinking that the incense will burn out, I will take a sip of tea."

He just drank tea leisurely and looked at the courtiers who had quieted down, and this gesture fell in the eyes of the ministers, and he didn't look at the storm he set off in his eyes.

Is the risk of the ministers' centrifugation not big enough, or does the Son of Heaven really not understand?

The ministers who have already seen how he put aside the disputes between Yang Tinghe, Wang Qiong and others would think of the second possibility, but the risk of the ministers being centrifugal and the world may be antipathy is too great.

In this way, Your Majesty is not afraid.

Are you confident that there will only be a very small number of people who are stubborn and oppose his lack of succession, or are you sure that people in the world will not talk about his "improper position"?

What cards does the Son of Heaven have in his hand?

What are the results of the previous audit? Or is it something else that, like the re-establishment of the Living Note, will make the whole world a holy decision?

If there is such a card, why not play it first, and then let the Ministry of Rites do what he wants, wouldn't that be more convincing?

No...... The reverse seems to be more effective, and it seems that those who agree with him will have one more reason to emphasize the prescience and correctness of their choices.

The brain is relatively easy to use, and he has already thought of this layer from Zhu Houxi's reaction.

"A stick of incense burned out. A little more efficient, the old rules. If you resolutely disagree with me and not succeed you, you still stand in the middle again, and I still ask three times. Zhu Houxi looked at Mao Cheng, "Mao Shangshu, this is the first time now." ”

Yan Song glanced at Mao Cheng with pity, what would he choose?

He Yan Song is not afraid, he has something to do, that is, to sit behind the desk and record the life of the Son of Heaven. As long as the Son of Heaven didn't specifically ask him, Yan Song sitting here and not going there to stand was equivalent to making a statement.

When someone asks about this in the future, he has something to say.

But if you don't stand over there, you are loyal to the Son of Heaven.

Only Mao Cheng couldn't avoid it, after all, he was the first to say that sentence before. "The minister does not agree with His Majesty's insistence on not succeeding the heir!" This sentence still rings in my ears!

Can he, Mao Cheng, wake up now and be a villain who wags his tail and begs for mercy for power? Sheng Xue ╯ I am invincible in the world
