Jingming

Chapter 22 The Chaotic Situation

A Zhu family's Jiangshan came to her ears in a single thought, and Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but stare blankly.

"How do you think you should respond?"

Wei Bin's eyes were very firm immediately: "Queen Mother, Your Highness has offended all the courtiers, and His Highness wants to use this thank-you note to tell you that if he succeeds in this way, he can only rely on you. He is the heir. Can it make you more at ease, or can you only rely on you to win the battle with the courtiers and make you feel at ease?"

"In my view, the Zhu family can only work together to turn the tide! Empress Dowager, you should make the mistake and let the courtiers' calculations come to naught! Your Highness is wise, Jiang Ge is convinced and afraid. He is Because I was afraid, I kept praising Your Highness like that. The smarter they talk about Your Highness, you will probably believe that it is just His Highness’s method, and His Highness’s benevolence and filial piety are fake. Even His Highness wants to have a son for His Majesty , they are all blocking it!"

"They even brought out Tang Taizong and Taizong's grandfather. This is flattery! If His Highness doesn't make great achievements in the future, they will just say that His Highness is messing around like His Majesty, and they didn't listen to them. Like Your Majesty is the same, because using slaves and maidservants, it’s all bad government! If you don’t listen to them, it’s bad government, how can there be such a reason?”

"Empress Dowager, now only by fully supporting His Highness, can His Highness make persistent efforts to set things right! With Your Highness's intelligence and heroism, you can follow him to govern the country however he wants. This is the most suitable person to entrust the Great Ming Dynasty to! A hundred years later, you will see Grandpa Xiaomiao, seeing His Majesty and ancestors, you can also say that you have chosen a real master of Zhongxing!"

Wei Bin spoke impassionedly, but Queen Mother Zhang became more and more calm as she listened.

It turns out that everyone has their own calculations.

Didn't Wei Bin try so hard to slander Yang Ting and them, and spare no effort to praise the heir, just to persuade himself to back down?

The child's ascension to the throne cannot be stopped, and there are countless people who wag their tails to him!

But it's also an opportunity.People like the courtiers and Wei Bin are attacking each other.

The heir cannot be changed, and no one can change her, the queen mother, or drive her away!

No matter what, she had to nod whether the matter was settled so easily.

Queen Mother Zhang finally patted the table: "Wei Bin, you send people to Liangxiang, let Gu Dayong listen to what Yang Ting and them will say before they arrive at the hall tomorrow. Proclamation of an oral order: The position of heaven cannot be emptied for a long time, the heir has already arrived at the palace, and all the civil and military officials inside and outside can send a letter to persuade him to come in immediately."

At least stand on a stand that puts the country as the most important thing and understands righteousness.

If Yang Ting and them can't argue with each other, they should understand that the Queen Mother's opinion is still very important!
Wei Bin and Zhang Yonggao exited the gate of Renshou Palace, looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.

"Old Wei, today I really convinced you." Zhang Yong raised his thumb.

Wei Bin sighed quietly: "Hey! The Queen Mother just saw that His Majesty was determined and went down the steps. You forgot the Queen Mother's arrangement for Concubine Shao? There will be no peace in the palace in the future, but at present, the more chaotic the situation is, the more we can survive. Opportunity."

The two looked at the Forbidden City, which had gradually disappeared into the night.

At this moment, it has really been preliminarily cleaned and ready to welcome its new owner.

The queen mother is fighting for status, and the cabinet ministers are fighting for power. Only the remnants of the Eight Tigers are fighting for their lives.

Take the biggest risks and ask for the humblest wishes.

……

Before dawn on April 22, some people in the capital and Liangxiang had already woken up early.

But in fact, many people did not sleep all night.

After nightfall, the three cabinet ministers in Beijing all entered the palace. At this extremely sensitive moment, the nerves of countless people in Beijing tensed up.

The Nine Gates of the capital, which is still under martial law, had no idea how many knights rode in and out overnight, and what kind of message was conveyed.

Although the three cabinet ministers came out from the palace afterwards, they refused all the people who came to inquire about the news.It is said that there was a period of chaos in the Yang Mansion.

At this moment in Yang's mansion, Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen had already put on the crown uniform. He looked at his father who was a bit dazed and haggard from sleepless nights and asked in panic, "Father, didn't you say to rest for a while after finishing the official document?" ?”

"What time is it?" Yang Tinghe asked hoarsely.

"The three quarters of Yin's time have just passed."

"Liangxiang...should be leaving soon." Yang Tinghe closed his eyes, his eyelids trembling a little, "Father should also go to various places to check the preparations, and then lead all the officials out of the city."

"Boy let them prepare some ginseng soup..."

Thinking of so many things today, and seeing Yang Tinghe's current vigor, Yang Shen was very worried.

Yang Tinghe didn't tell his family what happened after entering the palace last night, but his state when he came back scared his family and servants.

Seeing his son like this, Yang Tinghe suddenly felt more tired than when Emperor Zhengde was still there.

However, after wearing official clothes, drinking some ginseng soup and having breakfast, Yang Tinghe gradually regained his energy.

Today's Yang Tinghe is already an extremely human minister, he only hopes that this flawed Daming will be revitalized again under his hands.

Support a 15-year-old new monarch, and when he is about to retire, he will be able to hand over the brand-new Ming Dynasty to him.It's just that I didn't expect that this new emperor was even worse than Emperor Zhengde.

Whether it is really preparing to go to war, or using this matter as a bargaining chip for not succeeding, this is not kingly way!
Yang Tinghe already has a new mission: he must hold this young dragon and prevent him from bringing Da Ming into the abyss.

This is the real virtuous minister, good minister, and loyal minister!
The sky was getting brighter and before the sun rose, Yang Tinghe left the house and went to the palace to check the preparations for the ceremony.

Baiguan has been waiting outside the Meridian Gate.Today is not a court meeting, otherwise they would have to get up at midnight, and they would have to wait outside the Meridian Gate before Yin time.As soon as Maoshi arrives, he will enter the court.

But today he can only get out of the city at Sijunsi, so it doesn't have to be so early.

Now all civil and military officials still have persuasion notes on their bodies. Those with higher status wait and talk in the straight room, while those with lower status can only stand outside.Fortunately, it was the end of April, and the night chill dissipated quickly.

At this moment, in a straight room, the ministers gathered together.Surrounded in the center was Wei Guogong Xu Pengju who had rushed to the capital from Nanjing.

The two descendants of Xu Da, Duke Ding of Beijing, Xu Guangzuo, went to Anlu to welcome the new king, and Duke of Wei, Xu Pengju, had the task of leading his ministers to persuade them to come in.

Xu Pengju is still very young now, he was just conferred the title three years ago.

But the Marquis of Wuding, Guo Xun, still said, "My lord, I don't know what happened last night. Do you have any news?"

"If you want to talk about being well-informed, of course you have to ask Marquis Jianchang." Instead, Xu Pengju asked Zhang Yanling with some flattery, "Brother Yanling, do you have any news from the palace?"

Zhang Yanling shook his head with a sullen face: "I don't know."

But his expression betrayed him, Guo Xun sighed worriedly: "Don't make any trouble..."

The others looked at the three without saying a word.

In the notes to the enthronement ceremony drafted by the Ministry of Rites, Guo Xun is responsible for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and Zhang Yanling is responsible for offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple.This great achievement is not predestined for others, but Guo Xun and Zhang Yanling value it very much.

Amidst the discussion, the preface class of Honglu Temple, who was in charge of court etiquette, shouted outside: "All the ministers are in line, go out of the city to welcome you!"
