Yang Tinghe stood in front of the ministers and burst into tears.

He is really not afraid of this new emperor, he asks clearly over and over again, he is stirring up trouble.

He was not afraid at all that the court would make a fuss on the first day, and he also ordered the living officials to record it.

This Son of Heaven is so strong, isn't he afraid of forcing his ministers to unite with some vassal kings to rebel?

A fifteen-year-old child with no foundation, who gave him such courage?

Under his so-called "efficiency" and "pragmatic" rhetoric, the coercion of the Son of Heaven seems so real, but the tolerance called "ask three times" is extremely fierce.

Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish?

He even asked with a smile.

A "Shengming" son of heaven who has restored the living note, and a "generous" son of heaven who always has a smiling face and is only occasionally serious!

Yang Tinghe was even hit hard today, not to mention clearing the villain in the court, and he couldn't even get the support of the Son of Heaven in face, and now he couldn't protect Mao Cheng who rushed out.

He knew that Mao Cheng had no way to retreat in this matter.

Mao Cheng expressed his attitude too early in Liangxiang, and just now in front of the ministers, he was forced by the Son of Heaven to step down in front of the heavy responsibility to be borne by the Ministry of Rites. If he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, really obeys the Son of Heaven, he will be attacked by many people in the future, and even arrange him for a lifetime in history books and miscellaneous records.

He just wasn't smart enough to immediately find the trap in the words of the Son of Heaven, otherwise he would have asked on the spot if he wanted to discuss the four of them at the same time. In that case, there is still room to turn around, albeit very little.

The Son of Heaven tied the name of Emperor Daxing with the other three names, which was originally a conspiracy.

Now, the Son of Heaven asked for the second time: "Those who resolutely disagree with the eldest son of the king of Xingxian who followed the throne to honor his father and seal his biological mother, stand in the middle, the second time." ”

The problem is clearer: the eldest son of King Xingxian has been posthumously crowned his biological father and biological mother after the unification.

He's not messing around! There was an answer from Dingguo Gong, the person who announced the edict, that he, the new king, was succeeded by the eldest son of King Xingxian.

Mao Cheng could only stand there with his head held high and his eyes teary eyes.

Yang Tinghe knew that Mao Cheng might be waiting for him to come out to protect him and help the Son of Heaven build a step with him.

It's just that Yang Tinghe knows that if he helped Mao Cheng build this step today, he would have been defeated in front of the hundred officials and retreated in everything.

The right to interpret the edict is in the hands of the cabinet, but the Son of Heaven has already ascended the throne.

So far, there are indeed only two options for loyalty or disloyalty to this Son of Heaven.

To be loyal to the Son of Heaven is indeed not only to agree with everything and not to oppose this attitude.

But it can't be this thing.

This is the legitimacy of the succession of the Son of Heaven, and it is the basis for him to be able to establish himself in the court and even survive in the Ming Dynasty.

The Son of Heaven was laughing, but what was hidden in the smile was killing intent: "The third time, when the Empress Dowager's decree, the ministers and the Fengyingtuan have been approved in the palace, I firmly believe that I will succeed the eldest son of the king of Xingxian and the heir to the son of the filial piety temple after the unification, and stand in the middle." ”

The inquiry became clearer and clearer, and the Empress Dowager had already issued a decree before ascending the throne, and the four cabinet ministers and Mao Cheng himself had no objections, and the Son of Heaven still inherited the unification. Now, do you want to overturn the decision of the time?

Zhu Houxi also added encouragement: "I might as well give another grace: don't kill anyone this time." The royal brother has no heir, and I was not an heir before I succeeded to the throne, this situation has never been seen before, and it is understandable that some pedantic people can't understand it. I Jinkou Yuyan: If there is no rebellion, then it is just a demotion of officials for the people and will never be used.

He pointed at Yan Song: "Today's events will be recorded in history!" Is there a great opportunity to make a name in history? ”

I don't know why, the more many of the military generals look at the Son of Heaven and smile, the more pleasing they become, and the more they listen to the Son of Heaven, the more they like it.

Listen, what a loss, this time don't kill people, a great opportunity to leave a name in history.

But never to be recounted.

Who knows if it will harm children and grandchildren? But the wall fell and everyone pushed it, and everyone knew that.

But can this be said that the Son of Heaven is unkind?

After the Son of Heaven expressed his attitude, the Queen Mother agreed, the ministers did not object, and everyone in the Fengying Group, including Mao Cheng, also acquiesced.

The Son of Heaven has ascended the throne as the eldest son of King Xingxian, but if he opposes him now pursuing his biological father and entering the title of biological mother, isn't it disloyalty?

Disloyal ministers, if there is no clan punishment, it is the grace of heaven, only one person is punished, the male is in the army, and the female family members are in the teaching department, which is considered extrajudicial grace.

Besides, people settle down in the morning and dusk, and go to visit the Queen Mother twice a day, and they talk very happily.

What kind of loyal servants are you to oppose such a harmonious heavenly family?

Every time Zhu Houxi asked, there would be fewer people standing in the middle.

Today is quite humiliating for many Wenchen.

But they also want to stand up and show their moral attitude towards this issue, and they want to show their loyalty to the bottom line as courtiers.

Now when asked about the third time to add such a "grace" of not killing, some people are really hesitant to stand up again in humiliation.

I have been in the cold for many years, and I finally became a court counselor, can I bear this humiliation?

If I insist on etiquette, I am a pedantic person?

Etiquette is fundamental, and the heirs should be one!

Someone really did it, and it was right to jump left and right.

But for many lords and generals, it's really cool.

It's been a long time since I've seen the emperor face such persecution from Wenchen, not only does he not lose his temper, but he can also smile.

What is he laughing at?

Do you laugh at the flexible stance of these civil servants, or laugh at them that they are laity after all, and they care about their official position? Or is it a stupid person who values fame more than anything else?

In the end, only Mao Cheng, the three subordinate officials of the Ministry of Rites, and Qi Zhiluan and other seventeen officials remained in the middle.

Zhu Houxi nodded, and said to Huang Jin, Yan Song, and Liu Long: "Recorded." On April 27, the sixteenth year of Zhengde, 21 people, including Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Qi Zhiluan in the matter, did not recognize the reasonableness and legitimacy of the edict of the Emperor and the succession of the heirs, and they were not loyal to the monarch. I made it clear in advance that my attitude was both good and good, and I dismissed them and returned them to their hometowns, and they were degraded to the people and never used them. Nian Mao Cheng made meritorious contributions and returned to his hometown with a three-year gift. ”

Mao Cheng's face changed suddenly, and a faint sentence had already surged to his lips.

And Yang Tinghe only stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, you must not dispose of the heroes at the beginning of the imperial pole!" ”

He said it tightly, as for the previous request to deal with Wang Qiong and them, it was because they belonged to "traitorous ministers" and "criminal ministers".

Zhu Houxi asked strangely: "How can you deal with the heroes?" Mao Cheng's merits, I will be rewarded for three years, and this reward will be treated equally by everyone in the welcome group. Merit is merit, and transgression is excess. Mao Cheng is unwilling to be loyal to me, just because he has the merit of Yingli, do I have to endure even the crime of disloyalty? ”

Yang Tinghe's face was full of tears: "Mao Xianqing went to Anlu to greet His Majesty with his old body, why be disloyal?" ”

"Yan Song, you repeat what I asked three times before."

Yan Song's strange feeling came again: Why am I in the emperor's heart?

Why don't you ask Liu Long? I've done this for you.

But in fact, his heart blossomed, and he stood up and saluted respectfully, and said to the thing he had just recorded: "Your Majesty asks: Stand in the middle if you resolutely disagree with me as an heir." ”

Zhu Houxi spread his hand: "Elder Yang Ge heard it, what I asked was resolutely disagreeing with me and not succeeding, it was resolute." And I will not succeed to the heir. I have made up my mind, and Mao Cheng is resolutely opposed. I am a king, he is a minister. If you don't obey the will of the king, what is it if you are not disloyal? What is the best strategy for Yang Ge to solve the dilemma of the monarch and the minister? ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help it.

It's this emperor who is stirring up trouble!

Do you have to mention this great gift today? Liang Chu asked before, Yang Tinghe was ready to focus on state affairs.

He really made a fuss about how to implement the new policy of eliminating traitors and villains, but he was not exchanging.

He had already found sufficient reasons to put that matter on hold for the first time, and by the way, he set up a new rule of resignation to oppose the dismissal of the post three times.

After that thing was done, I brought it up with the situation.

"Why did Your Majesty humiliate the old minister so much! Your Majesty is the king, and the ministers have no two hearts, why is it that the ministers and others are said to be incompatible with the king? The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers are nothing more than death! Mao Cheng was so angry that he raised his hand but only dared to point at Yan Song, "You Qingshi, I will give the old minister a judgment!" ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "Very good." I ascended to the great treasure, which has the name of not allowing old ministers, not allowing meritorious heroes, and not allowing admonishing ministers. ”

The flow of Yang Tinghe's tears increased, saying that he couldn't dispose of the heroes as soon as he ascended the throne, and the emperor had already resolutely stated his attitude, did this mean that his Yang Tinghe's behavior of running out to admonish was actually staining the name of the Son of Heaven?

Not only do you put a hat on me, but you also cover yourself with a hat?

Zhu Houxi also said: "Yan Song and Liu Long, they have all been remembered. You don't have to wait for someone to talk about me like this, I will tell you about it first. Mao Cheng had the merit of Yingli, but I gave the ministers a stick of incense time to think about it and asked three more times. They are all the best among the tens of thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, so cautious confirmation should be their true attitude. Elder Yang Ge, what do you think? ”

Yang Tinghe really wanted to stop serving.

I really want to think about it, I want to think about it, I want to think about it so much, I want to think about it so much, I want to think about it so much, I want to think about it so much, I want to think about it so much, I want

With an emperor like you, can you really govern the country well?

He was about to take off his hat and resign solemnly, when Mao Cheng interrupted his movements with an angry roar.

"Faint King!"
