Chapter 419 The idea is good, but it's a pity
As Huang Jin, he also had to admit that the matter Sun Dan operated was the best way to deal with it so far.Both the ministers and the emperor took a step back, and adding a title of dedication to King Xing was a result acceptable to everyone.

In private, Chen Hong had already analyzed the cause and effect of this incident very clearly.This matter involves the struggle between imperial power and phase power.Today, Jiajing has just succeeded to the throne for less than a year, and the foundation is not stable, and the imperial power is weak.The power of the civil servants further expanded after the death of Emperor Wuzong. Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, they are naturally unwilling to give up the benefits they have obtained.

Today's overall situation is that the emperor is weak and the minister is strong.And the emperor is a wise and powerful man, if he wants to cheer up, he will naturally fight for his due rights in the matter of the ceremony.

If it was as Sun Dan had planned, the emperor would step forward, and the ministers would step back, and put a title of honor on King Xing's head.The power of the emperor and the ministers is in a delicate balance, and they can accept each other.The court situation will also be stabilized.

However, in this way, this great achievement fell into the hands of Sun Dan.

Thinking of me, Huang Jin, running back and forth with all my heart, I was so cheeky that I even shared half of Zhang Cong's credit, but in the end, I let Sun Dan take advantage of it, and ended up making wedding clothes for others, how can I be reconciled?

Now that Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng have already retreated, why not take a step forward and complete their merits in one battle?At that time, the emperor will naturally think of my goodness, Huang Jin, and forget about Sun Dan's contribution.

Okay, let me, Huang Jin, be the peach picker.

Thinking of this, Huang Jin took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I feel that Sun Dan's actions are a little dirty."

Strange to say, as soon as Huang Jin said these words, the thunder in the sky stopped.Only the boundless rain is still falling, and everything is shrouded in this dense sound of water.

Sun Dan was also a little surprised, and turned his head to look over.

But the emperor asked: "Sun Qing has done a good job in this matter, why is it not clean?"

Huang Jindao: "Right now, Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng have backed down, which shows that they still have a heart of awe for His Majesty. There is a saying in the art of war, one vigorous effort, one exhaustion, and three declines. Why not take this opportunity to go one step further and let them agree to fight in the future?" The title of King Xingxian was added with the word Huang, and changed to Emperor Xingxian, and the Queen Mother was called Empress Dowager Xingguo."

"This..." The emperor was also very moved, his thin and pale face kept flickering in the electric light.

Only then did Sun Dan understand what Huang Jin wanted to do, but he felt a little helpless.He was already sure that this was a bad idea, and Yang Tinghe's agreement to add a dedication to King Xing's title was already a huge concession.Although Lao Yang was old-fashioned, he was an upright person. In fact, including Mao Cheng, the ministers who opposed the title of emperor for Jiajing's father were all of high moral character.The reason for the concession now is probably because he didn't want to spend all the energy of the court on the imperial examination.

This matter has come to this point, and it can be regarded as a happy ending.

As for the future, Jiajing would definitely not be reconciled to his father being just a vassal king, and would definitely give him the title of emperor.However, by that time, Jiajing's imperial power had been consolidated, and Sun Dan could not worry about it.

But it is too early to say these things now, and there are also suspicions of hard work.With the toughness of the ministers, I'm afraid they may not agree.

It seems that this Huang Jin wants to share the credit with himself.

Sun Dan has always held a soy sauce attitude in the matter of the big ceremony, and he doesn't mind others sharing the credit. No matter what happens in the future, the pressure on his head will be much less.However, if it was changed to Huang Jin, Sun Dan would be very unhappy.

Sun Dan chuckled suddenly: "Are you afraid that this matter will be difficult to handle?"

Huang Jin snorted: "Why is it so difficult? I think that since Yang Tinghe can take one step back, he can take two steps back. Now that he promised the last word of dedication, so what if he added the word emperor?"

The emperor also suddenly became excited: "Yes, yes, since the first assistant has taken a step back, it shows that he still has basic respect and awe for the royal family. So what if I ask him to take another step back?"

Huang Jin continued with a flattering smile: "What your Majesty said is true. The so-called exorbitant asking price, sitting on the ground and paying back the money, the asking price is always higher. If it doesn't work, I will reprimand it severely, just like the buffalo in the countryside of Hubei. If you don’t go, you’ll have to go with a whip, no matter what, you’ll have to take a few steps. Even if you stop and go, you’re always moving forward.”

"Huang Ban, you are also a dignified eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies, so don't speak so vulgarly." The emperor wanted to speak with a straight face, but in the end he couldn't help but chuckle: "Master Shoufu is not a buffalo."

Huang Jin: "Why not, Shoufu is a stubborn bull at all, and I hate him so much."

The monarch and his subjects laughed at the same time.

Judging from their expressions now, under Huang Jin's instigation, the emperor seemed to have great confidence in further persecuting Yang Tinghe.

But Sun Dan didn't take it seriously, Huang Jin had been in charge of the Ritual Supervisor for too long, and he had the right to adjourn the papers submitted by the cabinet. When he was in a bad mood, he would just approve two words " No." After a long time, I'm afraid that even he had the illusion that the cabinet and the six ministries were just decorations.The so-called three pavilions are old paper paste, and six ministers are clay sculptures.But they don't know that the courtiers are representatives of scholars and scholar-bureaucrats, representing the direction of public opinion in the world, and they are extremely strict.

Even the emperor has nothing to do with them. You, Huang Jin, said that if you want to force them to give in, you will give in. Isn't that too naive?

Sun Dan had no choice but to pour a basin of cold water on the emperor's head: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the ministers will not agree to this matter."

The emperor felt a chill in his heart, and then he remembered the horror of the officials, but he was inexplicably timid in his heart.

Huang Jin was not convinced: "Sun Dan, what do you mean by that? The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, is the father of all people, don't they dare to rebel? Besides, since they agreed to back down this time, it is a good sign , so what if I add the word emperor?"

Sun Dan smiled wryly in his heart: Yang Tinghe agreed to back down, because he didn't want to see the court situation go down like this, and he didn't know how many ministers he withstood the pressure.You are making progress now, Old Man Yang Ge doesn't dare to nod his head.

The emperor asked Sun Dan: "Sun Dan, didn't you convince Yang Ge to be old before, or you can be a lobbyist again?"

Sun Dan felt anxious and asked me to persuade Yang Tinghe, that would be an impossible task.

Sun Dan deliberately said: "It's not that Mr. Yang Ge can't talk, but I'm afraid it's useless to persuade Mr. Yang Ge alone. Your Majesty has forgotten Mao Shangshu. This matter can't be done without Mao Shangshu nodding. When I see Mao Shangshu is afraid in his heart, he is afraid that there is no way to persuade him."

"Yeah, let's not talk about you, even if I met Mao Cheng, an old master, I wouldn't feel bored. In this way, you go to Yang Tinghe's place. As for Mao Cheng's place, I will find someone else." The emperor sighed. I have to admit that what Sun Dan said is true.

Seeing this opportunity, Huang Jin immediately stepped forward and volunteered: "Your Majesty, let me persuade Mao Cheng, I will definitely handle this matter properly." He didn't know how powerful Mao Shangshu was, but he felt Tangtang is an interior minister, and Mao Cheng is just a minister, so it's no big deal.Now that Yang Tinghe has already acquiesced, why is he so awesome?

No, let's go to Yang Tinghe's place, Sun Dan must not share the credit for this.

Therefore, Huang Jin said again: "Don't bother the two of you, the chief assistant will handle it together."

Sun Dan couldn't wait for Huang Jin to come out to top the tank, so he hurriedly said to Emperor Jiajing: "Your Majesty, it's just right for Eunuch Huang to go. The minister is just a seventh-rank editor of the Imperial Academy. He met Lord Shoufu and Mao Shangshu. He is a subordinate. You have to practice the courtesy of the subordinates to meet the superiors, and you must be cautious when speaking. I am afraid that when they meet with them, they will not give the ministers a chance to speak, and they will see off the guests directly. Eunuch Huang is the inner minister. Mao Shangshu is at the same level, and it is easy to talk to each other when they meet each other."

It was rare for Huang Jin to agree with Sun Dan's words, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, what Master Sun said is very true."

But as soon as the words were spoken, Huang Jin felt something was wrong in his heart. How could this Sun Dan give up this great contribution to our family? No, no!
Adhering to the principle that if the enemy agrees, I will oppose it, and if the enemy opposes it, I will support it. Huang Jin vaguely felt that he seemed to have been fooled by Sun Dan.

However, it was too late to regret it at this time. The emperor listened to Sun Dan's words, pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Sun Qing said well, please trouble Huang Ban to come."

Huang Jin hurriedly said: "Yes, I will go and handle this matter now."

When Huang Jin retreated, the emperor said to Sun Dan: "Sun Qing, you have done a good job. However, you have to go to Tongzhou."

When he heard that he was going to Tongzhou again, Sun Dan's head swelled a little: "Yes, please show me the emperor."

The emperor said: "When you go to Tongzhou, you are going to bring me a word to the Queen Mother, telling her not to leave in a hurry, just wait a few more days, and I will definitely find a way to take her to the palace for a reunion. Then you go back to the capital Come, still wait by my side."

Sun Dan breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I will leave to see the Queen Mother right now."

As soon as Huo Tao's excerpt was published, it immediately aroused great repercussions in the court.At the same time, Zhang Cong made another memorial.

When the two sang together, it disturbed people's hearts.It is said that some people are already very dissatisfied with Yang Shoufu and Mao Cheng for forcing the emperor's mother and son to not get together, and they are preparing to submit a memorial.

As a result, cracks began to appear in the already monolithic Yang Tinghe civil service system.

For this, Yang Tinghe had long been prepared, and he also felt that what he did was a little inappropriate.Therefore, when Huang Jin came to him to ask for the word "Huang" to be added to the title of Emperor Jiajing's parents, he unexpectedly remained silent.

Shoufu's silence made Huang Jin very excited. Stimulated by the victory, he thought it would be easy for him to persuade Mao Cheng.So, without delay, he ran towards Tongzhou excitedly.

At this time, Sun Dan returned to Tongzhou again, brought the emperor's meaning to the queen mother, and went to Mao Cheng to report what happened when he met Yang Tinghe.

As expected, Mao Cheng immediately exploded.
