Chapter 24: The Concubine Arrives
Three days later, Zhu Houcong received a news that his mother, Jiang, arrived in the capital today. In addition, Zhu Houcong began to murmur, saying that the civil and military officials in the court should object again, how can I get the civil and military officials in the court to agree with me?
"There are propaganda ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the right minister of Liao Ji, and the left minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Shouren, went to the palace to discuss."
The four of them hurried into the palace. After seeing Zhu Houguan, they were stopped by Zhu Houguan before they even gave their salute.
Looking at the four trusted ministers, Zhu Houcong was a little satisfied with his masterpiece, and it was only less than a month later. At least someone in the court could speak. The next step was to find a way to straighten a few people and send them to the cabinet. Only then could I truly have the right to speak among the six ministers and nine ministers.
"Four gentlemen, my mother will arrive in the capital today. What do you think?"
The four of them naturally understood what Zhu Houcong was thinking. Although they were close to the emperor, they would always keep their little thoughts. Wang Jun bowed, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter can be issued to the cabinet, and the cabinet will preside over it."
Zhu Houcong had known this before, and sighed in disappointment, "My mother seems to be proud. If she knew that the ministers would replace them with the etiquette of the princess, she would definitely return to Anluzhou. As a descendant, she could watch her mother suffer."
Wang Shouren, who had never spoken, narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty, I am grateful to you for your Majesty and entrusted with important tasks. I am afraid that I am at ease. This matter is simple and simple."
"Oh, what's the simple way"?
"If this matter is sent to the cabinet, it will definitely be rejected. It is better for Your Majesty to use his own advantages rather than doing so."
"My advantage"?
Wang Shouren coughed lightly, and Zhu Hougui hurriedly sent someone to hand him tea. Everyone smiled. After spending a long time with the little emperor, they would understand that the little emperor actually seemed wise, but he was still a naughty boy. He would not mind whether you were wrong in your manners, as long as you can really help.
Wang Shouren took a sip of tea, "Isn't Your Majesty's advantage right in front of you?"
"ah"?
"May I ask how long does your Majesty live this year"?
"Five, what's the solution?"
Wang Shouren smiled, "That's right, although Your Majesty is the emperor, and he is just a little bitch. After all, Your Majesty is still young and can make jokes. If you don't obey your orders, as long as the concubine cries and makes trouble, the civil and military officials in the court will not be able to do anything at that time. The integrity that civil servants care about the most is the least of this thing."
"this..."
Wang Jun snorted coldly, "Wang Shouren, you old bastard, it's okay if you are different from your academics on weekdays. I just said, your study is simply a deception of the world. How could you give Your Majesty such a bad idea? What's the face of your Majesty? Do you don't understand the principle of the king and the ministers' death? In your eyes, the civil servants are so unconscionable?"
Wang Shouren rolled his eyes, "Wang Yizhi, you understand that you are the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. If you think the loss is inappropriate, please give Your Majesty a trick that is the best of both worlds."
Everyone looked at Zhu Houcan and saw Zhu Houcan nodding with satisfaction, "Yes, I am still young and I do have some intricacies in speaking. Sometimes when I get stubborn, no one can get it back." After saying that, Zhu Houcan smiled mysteriously.
"good"!
Sure enough, Zhu Houcan sent him to the cabinet and entered the palace in the name of the emperor and was directly rejected.
On the second day, Zhu Houcong once again experienced Yang Tinghe's prestige among ministers. In a court discussion, except for Zhu Houcong, the four despicable villains in the eyes of literati, they opposed it unanimously and decided to make Zhu Houcong recognize his mother as the emperor's uncle.
Zhu Houcan was furious and left the hall angrily.
A hundred miles away from the capital, the newly-built Wang Shouren had already prepared the imperial carriage and waited here.
"Who is ahead"?
"I am the newly-King Bo Wang Shouren, who was appointed as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Your Majesty specially ordered me to provide the princess with another one."
"Princess, nonsense, the son of Ai's family is the emperor, but the Ai's family is still the princess. The Ai's family heard that you asked Your Majesty to recognize me as the emperor's uncle, and the Ai's family is just a wife family. I have never heard that the clan has adopted children in order to continue the incense, and I have never heard of a minister forcing the emperor to change his biological father. This is a great act of rebellion. If you court officials do not recognize me, why should the Ai's family be so annoying again!
Could it be that the Ai family would enter the imperial city with the rituals of the princess? Where is the Ai family? If you don’t go to the palace, you will go back to your house.”
Wang Shouren had known this, "The princess wait, and Rong Chen will go back to discuss it"!
Zhu Houcun was furious in the Ganqing Palace, and the cabinet was also in a state of solemnity at this time.
Yang Tinghe asked Mao Cheng some questions, "Mr. Mao, you are the Minister of Rites. When is this princess entering the palace? Who is the identity of entering the palace?"
Mao Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "You say you are a princess, what kind of identity can you be?" Of course, Mao Cheng couldn't say that. This is a game between their literati and imperial power. Once you recognize the identity of the princess and emperor queens, the identity of King Xingxian would have to be placed in front of you.
"According to the old rules of the Han and Song dynasties, His Majesty should have been the biological father of Emperor Xiaozong. Princess Xing must not enter the palace as the emperor." Yang Tinghe has set the tone. Once this matter is rejected by the emperor, his WeChat message in the court will be gone.
Now that the emperor has won over Wang Jun and the other two, he has some say in the court. Once this matter is captured, his status as the elders of the four dynasties and the chief ministers of the two dynasties will completely lose their prestige. This is something that Yang Tinghe cannot see, and it is also something that Yang Tinghe does not allow him to appear.
It can be said that the situation has reached its present level, which has a lot to do with Yang Tinghe. In order to verify the authority of his powerful ministers, the new emperor must act according to the arrangements of the cabinet. This is also the same choice among the grandsons of Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty. Yang Tinghe will choose Zhu Houcong to inherit the throne. The importance of it is actually his fifteen years old. In Yang Tinghe's eyes, compared with the other two candidates, he is only fifteen years old, the most controllable age.
Yang Tinghe pondered for a while and attracted everyone's attention, "Everyone, since he believed that he was in charge of the cabinet, he has worked diligently and did not dare to slack off at all, and he has to let the emperor's entrust. Now that Your Majesty is young, it is the time when we need the assistance of the old ministers. Don't let the villain control Your Majesty."
Mao Cheng nodded in agreement, "Just say that Wang Jun, I thought that the old ministers of the three dynasties should have supported each other. I didn't expect that Wang Jun was such a villain. Now I openly challenged Mao, and my Ministry of Rites is almost the opening of his Wang family."
"Your Ministry of Rites is not bad. My left and right minister of the Ministry of Personnel is in a mess and has completely wiped out Wang. Lord Yang, you have to think of a way."
"Mr. Wang, don't be anxious. You are the head of the six ministries. If even a few ministers can't handle it, Yang will see that you, the Minister of Personnel, are about to come to an end."
"Mr. Yang, you must help me."
This Wang Qiong was a famous treacherous villain who sold official positions and titles and cultivated his confidants. The entire Ministry of Personnel was in chaos. If Yang Tinghe had not needed political allies, he would have proposed to the court.
