The cabinet's actions were much faster than the queen mother's, and it didn't take long for the news of the emperor's death to come, which was like a stone falling into the water, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves, shocking the entire government and the opposition.

Whether it is the temples of the government and the opposition, or the green forests of the rivers and lakes, they all feel a great opportunity for this news, but ordinary people are only happy, but they dare not show it, and they can only be secretly happy in their hearts about the death of the faint king.

At the behest of the cabinet, when the imperial physician gave the emperor medicine, he secretly added a medicine, which conflicted with other drugs to regulate the body, so Tang Kan, who pretended to be the emperor, suddenly had a convulsion all over his body at night and fell to the ground and died.

When the Queen Mother received the report, she suddenly sat down in her chair and muttered: "I didn't expect Yang Tinghe to act so recklessly, and he didn't put the mourning family in his eyes at all." ”

"Queen Mother, what should I do now?"

"What else can be done, now that the mourning family has been set aside, for today's plan, the only way to find that child is to find it quickly, maybe you can also recover some disadvantages, Yang Tinghe really deserves to be an old fox, and the depth of his city is really chilling down the spine. ”

The henchmen who were kneeling on the ground, when they heard the words of the Queen Mother, did not say anything, but followed the orders of the Queen Mother, and disappeared in place at once.

At the same time, several members of the cabinet got together and began to discuss the direction of the country's destiny.

Prince Liang asked first: "Lord Shoufu, after the emperor dies, he will be the new emperor, I don't know if you have a suitable candidate in your heart?"

But Mao Ji on the side. But he suddenly interrupted and said, "In my opinion, it is a top priority. It should be ****** Bin and a gang of friends who are treacherous and rebellious, if not. Our actions will inevitably be constrained. ”

Fei Hong shook his head and said: "Although what you said is very urgent, but for the sake of the future, we should discuss how to deal with the aftermath. ”

Hearing the speeches of several other cabinet members, Yang Tinghe looked indifferent and did not speak, and Jiang Mian next to him smiled. He said, "You don't need to worry, everything is in the arrangement of Lord Shousuke. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yang Tinghe, who was full of bamboo on his face, and Yang Tinghe smiled at him and was noncommittal.

Prince Liang, who was most concerned about the succession to the throne, couldn't help but ask: "Today, the saint has no heirs, and his younger brother also died young, and now if you want to find an heir to the throne, you can only find it from the heirs of Emperor Xiaozong's generation, just do this." I don't know how to explain it to the Queen Mother?"

This is also a question that Fei Hong is concerned about, and he echoed: "The harem has always been a big force, and the current eunuch Zhang Yong is not on the side of the cabinet. If he chooses to unite with the Queen Mother, we will be in a disadvantageous position. ”

Mao Ji was already a little anxious, and his voice raised a few points. said: "The Queen Mother and Zhang Yong are fine, in my opinion, Jiang Bin must be solved first." He was in charge of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which was a very strong force. If you don't cut off its wings as soon as possible, and wait for him to get bigger, it will be difficult to control. ”

Yang Tinghe, who had never spoken, stroked his beard and said lightly: "Don't be impatient, and listen to me, Jiang Bin is just a clown jumping off the beam, and you don't have to do anything to get rid of him." ”

Even several cabinet members who have worked with him for a long time are still suspicious of Yang Tinghe's words, although their cabinet controls the affairs of the empire, it can be said that it is the closest to the center of power, but it does not have military power, and Jiang Bin is the real power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they want to easily eradicate the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is really difficult to achieve the effect of bloodless soldiers.

Jiang Mian originally trusted Yang Tinghe the most, but after hearing his words, he still couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked, "Lord Yang, can you reveal your plan and let us discuss whether this plan is feasible?"

Yang Tinghe sighed lightly and said, "Although Jiang Bin seems to be powerful, he is just a donkey who is strong on the outside and capable in the middle, and if he wants to fall into the trap this time, it only takes a decision from the Ministry of Rites to put him to death." ”

When this sentence was spoken, several people who had been through the ups and downs of officialdom for a long time, and whose hearts had already been as solid as a rock instantly became self-evident, and they laughed at each other tacitly.

Their admiration for Yang Tinghe is even better than before, and the old fox is really a realm higher than them, although they have also endured political struggles for a long time, but to be able to think of such a plan is really not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

Yang Tinghe continued: "Although there is no heir to inherit the throne today, the old man has the most suitable candidate in his heart, and if I believe that I will say it, you will agree with me. ”

Mao Ji asked curiously, "I don't know which prince is the most suitable candidate in Lord Shoufu's heart?"

In the generation of filial piety, his two brothers died early without heirs, although the fourth brother Xingwang Zhu Youqi has died, but there are two sons, the eldest son of Xingwang has died, and according to the ancestral system, with the principle of "brother to brother and", the most suitable is the grandson of Ming Xianzong, Zhu Houxi, the son of Xingxian Wang Zhu Youqi. The old man has decided to make him his heir, do you have any objections?"

Yang Tinghe asked these words, and the other people fell silent, they naturally knew the plan in the hearts of this Lord Shoufu, the son of the king of Xingxian, but a child of more than ten years old, if he really became the king of a country, he would naturally be controlled by Lord Shoufu.

Everyone only felt afraid in their hearts, Yang Tinghe was like an ocean, and his mind was as deep as sea water. This person is not only a master of conspiracy, but also a genius of Yang Mou, and although the four of them feel that there is something wrong with his righteous and awe-inspiring words now, they have not said a word of rebuttal.

After the four of them left, Yang Tinghe showed a smug smile, the entire Ming Dynasty is already his own decision, no one will disobey him again, and in the future, under his command, everyone will obey him.

What about the king in the world, I don't have to listen to him, this feeling of being self-respecting and invincible is really wonderful.

Thinking of this, Yang Tinghe summoned his cronies and asked them to go to the Ministry of Rites to greet him and prepare for the plan he was about to perform. In his eyes, the arrogant and domineering Jiang Bin is already a dead man.

As for the child that the Queen Mother pinned her hopes on, of course he would not take him seriously, and in his way, he would make him disappear from his sight.

However, thousands of calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, and the smart Yang Tinghe made a mistake after all, and it was this mistake that made it difficult for him to turn over. (To be continued.) )
