More than half of the ministers and ministers subconsciously wanted to dissuade them.

But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly didn't dare to say anything, but looked at the prince with a brush.

At this time, if anyone stands up to dissuade him, will it not be tantamount to preventing the crown prince from succeeding to the throne?

The ministers are very strange, why do they abdicate in a good way?

Is Your Majesty threatened?

If so, your Majesty, you wink, and I will give you a moment of silence.

There can only be silence.

The palace guards are in the hands of the prince, and the garrison of the capital listens to the prince, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who have been summoned have not left.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, and his eyes were very strange, Zhu Ming got up and said: "The official family is in good health, and he can live for another twenty years, so he doesn't have to rush to abdicate and become the emperor." ”

Zhu Guoxiang was not happy when he heard it, what do you mean by "living for 20 years if you don't talk about it"? Lao Tzu can live to be 100 years old!

"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Zhu Guoxiang said angrily.

The ministers hurriedly bowed their heads, for fear that the two of them would make trouble.

Zhu Guoxiang held his head high: "I have made up my mind, and I have to abdicate." ”

"Please take back the official family!" Zhu Ming said.

This is a drama of "three invitations and three resignations", but the identity has changed somewhat, and it looks particularly weird.

To be precise, it should be three lectures and three resignations.

Since he was acting, the ministers had no scruples.

Prime Minister Zhai Ruwen took the lead in saying: "The former Song Dynasty had no way to make the people of the world miserable, and even the barbarians of the Jin Kingdom were killed outside Tokyo. His Majesty asked for the people's life, raised volunteers to resist tyranny, and won the hearts of the people in response to the mandate of heaven. The Ming Dynasty has been open for several years, the wind and rain are smooth, Kyushu is rich, and the surname is happy. It is the ancient holy king, and it is nothing more than governing the country and the people. Your Majesty is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can he lightly abdicate and make way for Xian? For the sake of the country, for the well-being of the people, please take back your life! ”

"Please take back your order!"

The ministers shouted in unison, and many of them sincerely discouraged.

How generous and merciful the emperor is, you should be tired and work for a few more years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really too difficult to serve.

"I have made up my mind, retreat from the dynasty!" Zhu Guoxiang flicked his sleeves and left.

This is just a preventive shot for the important ministers of the cabinet and the court, and it can't even be counted as "one invitation and one resignation", and it has to be proposed at the court meeting where hundreds of officials gather.

……

The ministers bid farewell to the prince and silently left the council hall.

No one spoke all the way, because the matter was too sensitive to be discussed outside.

From the time of the cabinet office to the end of the day, the seven cabinet ministers pretended to have nothing to do and went home as usual.

Zhai Ruwen sent someone out to invite the Xie Ke family of Honglu Temple.

"I don't know what Zhai Xiang is calling?" Sheikh asked.

Zhai Ruwen said: "The official family is about to abdicate. ”

The Xie Ke family was shocked: "Could it be that the prince can't wait......"

Zhai Ruwen shook his head: "Not like." The abdication of the official family to become the emperor must have been sincere, and he may have even planned to do so a long time ago. ”

Xie Kejia said with emotion: "In all dynasties, for that throne, there are many fathers and sons who turn against each other and brothers who kill each other. Now the Holy Son of Heaven has taken the initiative to abdicate, which is really a blessing for the world, and this ancient Zen has made it a noble legacy. ”

"Your Majesty is magnanimous and benevolent, and the prince is determined to forge ahead, and he is a wise king," Zhai Ruwen said worriedly, "But the prince is too eager, and it is good to have His Majesty to suppress him." If Your Majesty abdicates, if the crown prince does things recklessly......"

The Xie Ke family asked, "The emperor has decided to abdicate, how can we stop it?" Zhai Xiang summoned, but what was the instruction? ”

"Nope." Zhai Ruwen purely wanted to talk to an old friend.

Anyway, this matter is not afraid of leakage, and it is estimated that the emperor will officially put it forward publicly at the court meeting another day.

Zhai Ruwen said: "Concubine Li ...... there"

The Xie Ke family immediately interrupted: "I am a foreign minister, and I don't know about the palace!" ”

Xie Kejia is Zhao Mingcheng's aunt and cousin, and he became an official in the former Song Dynasty to act as the secretary of the ministry.

When he arrived in the New Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, he was first thrown to the Hanlin Academy to compile books, and then sent to the local government to be an official for several years. Because of last year's big case, there was a vacancy in the official positions of the six ministries, and the Xie Ke family was recalled to be the secretary of the Honglu Temple.

Zhai Ruwen said: "I didn't inquire about anything, but it was difficult to understand why the official family wanted to abdicate. ”

The Xie Ke family said: "Perhaps, the official family just wants to be more relaxed. The Ming Dynasty abolished the Zhongshu Sect and changed it to a cabinet system, and the emperor had to deal with many government affairs every day. I was so tired that I didn't have much time to rest. ”

Zhai Ruwen really wanted to say that the cabinet can also handle government affairs, and the emperor can be the shopkeeper.

But this is not something to be said casually.

……

Qin Hui is also secretly discussing with his wife.

"The emperor is abdicating!" Qin Hui closed the doors and windows.

Wang was surprised: "The prince is forcing the palace? ”

Qin Hui shook his head: "In my opinion, I just don't want to be the emperor anymore." After abdicating, he can persuade the agricultural division to farm every day, and he can also observe astronomical stars every night. The interests of the official family are these, and the throne is of little importance to him. ”

"But it's a strange story for the ages," Wang couldn't help but ask, "The new monarch succeeds to the throne, will there be any changes in the cabinet?" ”

Qin Hui said: "There shouldn't be much change. Last year's case has changed. In addition, the cabinet ministers retired, and the cabinet changed a bunch of ministers. ”

With one central change after another, Qin Hui was almost unable to distinguish between factions.

The cabinet situation is also more complicated, probably like this:

Although Zhai Ruwen can't suppress the cabinet, he belongs to the prime minister after all, and many former Song ministers are headed by him.

The second prime minister, Liu Ying, has been lying flat, but after Zhang Gen retired, a large number of early dependents from Long Wenchen attached to this person.

Xiao Chu never took power, but he was extremely prestigious in the cabinet, and the six ministries and Hu Anguo echoed him. They belonged to the "Spring and Autumn Faction", a group of radical officials who wanted to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, and in the past two years, they have repeatedly provoked a resumption of war with the Jin State. The military especially liked them!

Zhao Yan belongs to the pragmatic faction, and most of his cronies are in the Ministry of Industry. Qin Hui is now the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but his subordinates are a group of Zhao Yan's team.

Uncle Zhang didn't have any factional power to speak of, but he was very close to the Privy Council and belonged to the military's representative in the cabinet.

Li Hanzhang and Qian Chen, proper princelings!

Qin Hui said: "Of the seven ministers today, no one can dominate one family. The same is true for the six parts, and the prince is good at balancing all parties. For us, the most credible thing is that you and I are brothers. But your brothers, who seem to be disgusted by the prince, have never been able to be officials. My brothers have already been arranged. ”

Wang said: "Wei Liangchen still doesn't want to get close to you? ”

"Because of last year's case, he has become more and more cautious." Qin Hui said.

Wei Liangchen, the right capital, although the brother was corrupt under his guise, the two were not in the same household register. Moreover, the brothers are far apart, and Wei Liangchen really doesn't know about it.

Wei Liangchen was not only innocent, but was found to be an iron-faced and selfless Qing official.

He also has the skill of following the dragon, and as a person who sacrificed his life in ether learning, he called on the students to avenge Zhu Ming's grievances. Later, he followed Zhu Ming to manage Guizhou, and then followed Zhu Ming to Jinzhou.

In this way, in such a big case last year, even his brother committed the crime, and Wei Liangchen was only fined for three months.

Qin Hui really wanted to hug this thigh, because Wei Liangchen was his roommate!

It's a pity that Wei Liangchen has never befriended the minister, and deliberately avoided the relationship with Qin Hui.

"What other Jinling classmates are you doing as officials?" Wang asked.

Qin Hui said: "Those old friends of mine, Fan Tong, who has the highest official position, has been promoted to the provincial senate by virtue of his political achievements, and it is estimated that he will soon be promoted to the rank of procurator. ”

Fan Tong is not only Qin Hui's old friend of Jinling, but also a Jinshi in Zhu Ming's class, and later admitted to the Hongci department.

Historically, Qin Hui wanted to get rid of Yue Fei and other generals, but Fan Tong offered a plan to remove the cardinal mansion and collectively remove the military power of a group of generals.

Fan Tong is almost a copy of Qin Hui.

The academic level is extremely high, and the ability to do things is extremely strong, and in the end he even competed with Qin Hui for power, wanting to kill Qin Hui and become the prime minister himself. Qin Hui was extremely jealous of him, demoted Fan Tong to a place, and did not allow Fan Tong to return to the court.

Because of his academic work with the prince and his outstanding political achievements, Fan Tong has been promoted quickly in recent years.

Wang said: "Fan Tong is good at water conservancy? ”

Qin Hui said: "He understands water conservancy, but he doesn't have much experience. If he is put in charge of water conservancy, he can be entrusted with important responsibilities in a few years. ”

Wang Shi offered a plan: "You can write a letter to Fan Tong and ask him to build more water conservancy in the local area." With the prince's knowledge, he will be transferred to the Ministry of Works, and he will become your subordinate. At that point, you transfer him to another place. You are in the Lord, and he is outside the Lord, and they cooperate with each other, and they have achieved great results. ”

"The lady is so smart!" Qin Hui was overjoyed.

Although he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he is a team of Zhao Yan in his hands, and it is not easy to do anything.

If Fan Tong can be transferred to the Ministry of Industry, the two will join forces to cultivate power, do practical things together to make political achievements, and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, then it will be just around the corner.

Wang said: "If you worship the prime minister, you must not forget the Wang family." My brothers are not successful, but my nephews and nephews also have the seeds of study, and a few of them will be able to be admitted to the Jinshi after all. When the time comes, there will be more foils and foils, and there will be countless protégés and former officials of the Wang family, and the aid will be your help in the future. ”

"Don't worry, you won't forget the Wang family." Qin Hui said soothingly.

The Wang family does have many protégés and former officials, and now that Qin Hui has become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, some of them are already taking the initiative to come closer.

With the help of the Wang family, Qin Hui can be like a tiger with wings.

Otherwise, how could Qin Hui be afraid of his wife?

Before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, because the Wang family was unable to have children, Qin Hui gave birth to a maid.

Under normal circumstances, the Wang family should have adopted this son and raised him as his own son. But she drove the maid and the child away directly, and then brought over an illegitimate son of her brother.

The dignified traitor Qin Hui was still raising a son for the Wang family at this time, and Du Temo was already fourteen years old.

This time and space is different, and the power of the Wang family has been greatly reduced!

Especially after Qin Hui became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he felt that it was the Wang family that should cling to him, not to cling to the Wang family himself.

The reason why he didn't directly turn his face with his wife was purely because Qin Hui wanted to be a "clean official", and the Wang family had been sending him money!

Under the pretext of going out to socialize, Qin Hui went out again after dinner.

He went to the private dining room of a restaurant, but changed his clothes and quietly slipped away, taking a carriage to a remote courtyard.

"Xianggong is here!" A beautiful woman greeted her with joy.

Qin Hui took the woman's hand and asked, "Is Da Lang crying?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Today it is well-behaved." ”

The two entered the house hand in hand, and a baby lay in the cradle.

Qin Hui didn't dare to take the outer room and his son home, for fear that his son would die inexplicably.

He plans to raise some and then make it public, and if the Wang family dares to mess around, he will directly give him a break in the name of jealousy and no queen!

Qin Hui is also very tired from life, and he doesn't dare to raise his son in the light.
