Chapter 144: Different Times
A collusion with Li Gao, conspiring to murder Yang Yiqing, Tang Bohu, and the prince! It is a disaster to the frontier, and there are only many crimes! As for the queen side, Li Dongyang will not mention it.
But someone didn't want to let go of Li Dongyang's words.
"Report to Your Majesty! Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics!" Another voice came from the court, "You dare to ask Your Majesty, is the life of Queen Zhang when he entered Liaodong? And whether Queen Zhang's work in Liaodong is the commander behind the scenes!"
"What if it is?" Zhu Youting's tone was very cold.
After Emperor Hongzhi said this, all the ministers in the court fell to their knees and shouted: "If that's the case, please depose the queen!"
Zhu You looked at the crazy Shouninghou and asked, "Is this the empress the commander?"
"No!" Shouninghou immediately said firmly: "This matter is my own decision, and it doesn't matter if there is a queen!"
Zhu Youtang was breathing very quickly. He Ding, who was standing aside, took out a memorial and handed it to His Majesty, and whispered: "Your Majesty, according to our Dongchang investigation, it was indeed Empress Zhang who went to Liaodong that Housing Shouning was trying to take control of military power, but the things that happened in Liaodong were indeed not related to Empress Zhang."
He glanced at He Ding and Zhu Youzhang and said, "Where did you know?"
He Ding bowed and said, "When Queen Zhang asked Shouning to wait, a palace maid stood aside and heard the conversation! These things were also asked by us from the little palace maid."
"Ha!" Zhu Youzhang sneered, "Your East Factory is moving very quickly!"
He Ding continued to whisper: "Empress Zhang said something to Shouninghou at that time."
"What do you mean!" Zhu Youzhang's eyes were gloomy.
He Ding looked at the civil officials in the court and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Empress Zhang warned Shouning to offend anyone and not offend Tang Bohu!"
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youtang looked at Shouning Hou and said, "Drop Zhang Heling from his title and demoted him to a commoner, and throw him into the prison of Dali Temple! Wait for the end!"
The waiter blocked all the ministers' mouths, and the emperor had not made the final decision and it was hard for all the civil and military officials of the court to say anything else.
But Xu Pu, who had not spoken before, rarely spoke in the court again, "My memory, Xu Pu is almost in his later years but is powerless to do political affairs. I will allow you to retire to Your Majesty!"
Xu Pu's words made the court that had just calmed down boil again. Li Dongyang suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Pu who was in the Cabinet University at the same time. What did this old guy mean by saying this sentence at this time?
In fact, judging from Yang Tinghe being promoted to Zuo Chunfang Bachelor, Your Majesty has already regarded Yang Tinghe as a substitute for the cabinet!
Xu Pu is already very old, so it is not surprising that he wants to retire! It’s just that why he is so angry, he just chooses to resign at this time.
Many people in the court were Xu Pu’s wings! Xu Pu promoted many officials after decades of becoming an official in the court. If Xu Pu wanted to sue him, it would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of many ministers in the court!
This is the opportunity! Sudden retirement?
Li Dongyang closed his eyes and began to ponder what the old guy Xu Pu wanted to do.
It was already noon when the court meeting was held here. A palace maid hurried over and said loudly regardless of the obstruction of the warrior in front of the palace: "Your Majesty! The Empress is going to commit suicide in her arms with the little princess!"
"What did you say!" Zhu Youzhi suddenly stood up and hurriedly left his dragon throne! The meeting had to be interrupted!
After the emperor left the dragon throne, Li Dongyang finally breathed a sigh of relief at least Zhu Youzhang had not made a decision yet. The character Xu Pu did not do simple things, but was afraid that the ministers and even the emperor in the court would fall into the middle of this old thing.
The court meeting ended in an unhappy manner, and Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang walked out of the Forbidden City step by step.
"What does Mr. Li think about this matter!" Yang Tinghe said as he walked.
Li Dongyang avoided the dazzling sunshine and said, "I am a little envious of Tang Bohu who is far away in Liaodong."
Liu Jian followed a few steps and said, "Xu Pu's elder Gao is not that simple. He has played an important role in the court after three dynasties. If Xu Pu wants to sue the court, it will inevitably cause trouble! It will be sooner or later for this old guy to resign. Our Emperor Hongzhi has been preparing for Xu Pu's revenge over the years, and now our Majesty is obviously not ready."
"Don't just look at what Your Majesty will think about Xu Pu's resignation!" Li Dongyang said: "It depends on what other ministers will think, such as the reason why Xu Pu's resignation!"
When Yang Tinghe heard Li Dongyang's words, he thought of a very terrible thing. If that were the case, Xu Pu's move was suddenly ruthless, but then he thought about why Xu Pu was targeting Empress Zhang, and he seemed to have no grudges with the Zhang family.
"Young people who can think are good." Li Dongyang seemed to see through Yang Tinghe's thoughts.
"Haha..." Yang Tinghe said with an embarrassing smile: "The lower official is far behind Mr. Li Ge Lao, Grand Secretary Liu."
"You shouldn't compete with us!" Li Dongyang continued.
Yang Tinghe looked at Li Dongyang in confusion.
Liu Jian also nodded, "You shouldn't be on us old guys."
"The officials don't understand what the two of them mean." Yang Tinghe said.
Li Dongyang smiled and pointed to Liaodong, "Your future enemies are in that direction, they are your future opponents, and we are just a group of old guys in their twilight years, so don't worry about it."
Liu Jian continued: "I learned a word in Tang Zhuang Academy in Tang Bohu, called Times! Yang Ting and you are still young, and because you are young, your era is different from us! When you are the younger generation, we old guys should also leave the temple, and the future will fall on your young shoulders."
"I have a question below! Please ask the two cabinet masters to answer." Yang Tinghe continued.
Li Dongyang said slowly, "You miss Tang Bohu."
Yang Tinghe nodded, "I don't quite understand why I became enemies with Tang Bohu."
Liu Jian explained: "Because we dare not do or cannot do what Tang Bohu wants to do! Because he wants to change scholars all over the world! This has already started in Tangzhuang."
"What I am worried about is whether this change is good or bad, because Tang Bohu is very different! In the eyes of this young man, he disdains the imperial power, only fears the emperor but does not respect him. Such a person has too many variables for the Ming Dynasty today. No one knows whether Tang Bohu will do anything that is unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty in the future."
"And Tang Bohu has a good relationship with the prince. Now he is a close minister of the Eastern Palace and holds the Jinyiwei. In the future, he will definitely become the person Zhu Houzhao trusts the most, and is also one of the important officials whom His Majesty set up today. It is really uneasy for an unstable chess piece to hold the heavy power in the future."
Li Dongyang smiled bitterly: "I have to say that this Tang Bohu's luck is really good."
