Chapter 547 I Have Decided to Take the Zen Position

The next day, in court.

Everything was as Zhu Hao calculated, Jiang Lun came out to start the game, expressing that Concubine Jiang abided by the etiquette and was going to return to Anlu to continue to be her concubine of the Xing Palace, no longer involved in court affairs, neither entering the palace nor planning to Permanent residence in the capital.

These are what Yang Tinghe wants to see, and it is also the fundamental reason why the civil servants agreed to let Jiang Lun enter the court to express Jiang Wangfei's attitude.

But then...

Things went to the unknown that the civil servants could not predict.

"...I was taught by my father and king since I was a child that I must obey the law of filial piety and righteousness. Now that my father and king are gone, only me and my mother and concubine are left to depend on each other. I can sacrifice everything, and I have failed my mother and concubine's upbringing.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have decided to take the Zen position and return to Anlu to continue to be the Xingwang. I am the only son of my mother and concubine. I should bear the burden of birth, death, and burial. I don't want to bear the burden of unfilial piety." Infamy. You should hurry up and draft the imperial edict for the position of Zen, and fulfill my wish.

"Retreat!"

Zhu Si wept bitterly, and finally, in the confusion of all the ministers, he left Fengtian Palace and went back to Qianqing Palace.

He didn't give the ministers a chance to discuss, didn't let Yang Tinghe and others stand up and teach others with great principles, and they came up and stated that they wanted the Zen throne, but the problem is...you don't want to be the emperor if you don't think so?
It would be fine if the emperor had heirs and brothers, but the problem is that the emperor was originally adopted from Xiaozong, and if he adopted another one...it would be difficult to convince the public.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has just stabilized, and the bad government of the Zhengde period has been swept away step by step, does this emperor mean that he can change it?
……

……

"Old Yang Ge, can you tell me what happened?"

"Yeah, this is not a small matter. If something really happens, my Daming may be in a situation where there is no end to redemption!"

As soon as the court meeting was over and they left Fengtian Hall, the ministers couldn't care about anything else this time, so they surrounded Yang Tinghe as if they wanted to ask the chief minister for an explanation.

Jiang Mian hurriedly said: "Everyone calm down, this is not a place to talk."

"Why isn't it a place to talk? Isn't this court hall the place where we and other officials discuss state affairs? This kind of trouble can't be caused."

Although most of the ministers present were on the issue of the ceremony before, they either directly signed their names, or expressed their support for Yang Tinghe in a public attitude.

But at such a juncture, no one dared to agree with the emperor's opinion, and gave the throne to others, just to achieve the result of the discussion by the officials in the ceremony.

Who dares to say "how about we change the emperor"?That's basically the same as handing over your head to have someone chop it off.

The emperor can say that, but the minister must not have such disobedience.

Ever since, everyone's goal was aimed at Yang Tinghe, even if he was a diehard fan of Yang Tinghe, now he had to ask Yang Tinghe to give an explanation.

Yang Tinghe never expected that he would become the target of public criticism at this time.

"Everyone, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites will consider the matter of Yingxing Wangfu's princess as appropriate. Please go back first."

This time it was Fei Hong who spoke.

He had just entered the cabinet, and his qualifications and prestige were not weaker than Yang Tinghe, but higher than Mao Ji and Jiang Mian.

But now his ranking in the cabinet is at the end, which means that he has high prestige but low status. At this moment, he can calm people's hearts by speaking out. After all, Fei Hong represents the old faction of the imperial court. If Yuan Zonggao said this It's inappropriate, because most civil servants don't take Yuan Zonggao seriously.

……

……

The ministers were restless, whispering in twos and threes and leaving the palace.

Yang Tinghe and the other cabinet ministers went to the cabinet to check the house. On the way, several people in the cabinet did not speak. It was obvious that today's events far exceeded their expectations.

After arriving in the cabinet, Mao Ji stood up and spoke: "How did things develop to such a state? Could it be that His Majesty really can ignore the throne for a matter of legal etiquette?"

Not to mention that Mao Ji couldn't figure it out, even Yang Ting and the whole person were in a state of confusion.

The little emperor is full, right?

The emperor is the lord of the world, how many people squeezed their heads and rushed forward at the risk of confiscating their families and exterminating their families. How can there be someone like the new emperor who doesn't even want the throne just to welcome a mother?Is Xing Wangfu's tutor too "good"?Or is it that the little emperor intends to use the matter of the ceremony to oppose the civil servants?Deliberately making difficult for the civil servants, in order to consolidate the imperial power?

Fei Hong walked up to Yang Tinghe and said, "Jie Fu, now we should discuss the matter of welcoming the princess as soon as possible. Even if there is a discrepancy in etiquette, for the sake of Daming, His Majesty can't let His Majesty do anything."

Fei Hong's words seemed to be persuading Yang Tinghe to take a step back, but they were actually criticizing the new emperor's "nonsense", which was tantamount to a relatively neutral statement.

Yang Tinghe took a look at Fei Hong.

He immediately felt the effect of the little emperor's transfer of Fei Hong to the cabinet.

Fei Hong is nominally a member of his faction, and all the conversations before have been normal, and he can't even find any problems with Fei Hong's words and deeds. Afterwards, Fei Hong still came out to persuade him to quit despite difficulties.

This shows that the little emperor's employment itself is a clever move, step by step pushing the situation to the current situation.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to come up with a suitable coping strategy for a while.

Just at this time, Xiao Jing's voice came from outside: "...Are the elders here?"

Yang Tinghe got up and led people to the door, and welcomed Xiao Jing into the guard room. Mao Ji asked, "Eunuch Xiao, but your majesty..."

"Oh, all the elders, after His Majesty returned to the Qianqing Palace, he burst into tears and couldn't listen to anything until now. He has already asked people to pack things in the Qianqing Palace."

Xiao Jing said with a mournful face.

Several cabinet ministers couldn't help but looked at each other.

Say you want to leave, do you really want to leave?

Not just to scare us?
After you finished performing in front of us, can you still cry when you return to Qianqing Palace?This feeling... is very sincere, it doesn't look like a fake.

"What is this?"

Fei Hong looked at the things in Xiao Jing's hands.

Xiao Jing tightly grasped the thing in his hand: "This is His Majesty's personal treasure, and it is said that it will be returned to the elders."

That's what he said, but he would not hand over Yuxi.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Seals of the Kingdom had not been obtained. Most of the twenty-four imperial treasures were used on different occasions to reflect the orthodoxy of the throne, but the combined weight was still not as good as that of the Imperial Seals. The real useful ones were the emperor’s. Portable seal.

When Yang Tinghe heard this, he knew that things had started to deteriorate.

Then he waved his hand: "Please trouble Eunuch Xiao to go back and tell His Majesty that the Ministry of Rites will discuss the matter of welcoming the Empress Dowager again. Your Majesty, please put state affairs first."

He bowed his hands and saluted.

Yang Tinghe had already changed his title by himself, calling Concubine Jiang the "Queen Dowager", which fully showed that he, the chief assistant, had let go of this matter. Although it was an act of entitlement, it also meant that there was finally a gap in the monolithic ceremony.

Xiao Jing wiped away his tears and said: "Elder Yang, and you elders, it's really embarrassing for you, but His Majesty is really a benevolent and filial king, with the demeanor of Emperor Xiaozong. Our family still remembers the late emperor At that time, in order to search for the news of the biological mother, she stayed up all day and night, having trouble sleeping and eating..."

It means that this little emperor has the demeanor of his "adopted father" Emperor Hongzhi, who puts filial piety first.

Yang Tinghe didn't think much at first, but when he saw a good old man like Xiao Jing, he was completely moved by the actions of the new emperor, and found that no matter the original purpose of the new emperor was to compete with the ministers, or he really put filial piety first, At least now the new emperor's goal has been achieved.

All the ministers in the court have seen the "filial piety" of the new emperor, with such a great moral halo on their heads. If the civil servants insist on changing the emperor's throne, even if the emperor sends troops to kill the ministers, I am afraid that the ministers will not be able to stand on the moral ground. On the commanding heights.

This violated Yang Tinghe's original intention of discussing the ceremony.

The commanding heights of public opinion were easily taken by the little emperor, and Yang Tinghe felt powerless for a while.

……

……

The Minister of Rites, Mao Cheng, was urgently summoned to the Wenhua Hall for a meeting.

At the same time, several people from the Imperial Academy came over, including Liu Chun, Fengxi, Shi Ping, etc., and the five cabinet ministers. The most important thing to discuss when they sat down was how to welcome Princess Jiang.

While several people were discussing inside, Yang Tinghe walked to the door annoyed, trying to breathe.

In fact, he had already decided in his heart that he would add the title of "Xingxian Empress Dowager" to Princess Jiang and enter the palace without adding the word "Huang" to reflect the difference between the birth mother and the orthodox empress dowager. This can be regarded as an explanation for his own people, at least we No compromise was made on the issue of the emperor's heir gift.

"Jie Fu, why are you so upset? It's better to go in and settle the matter earlier." Seeing Yang Tinghe's delay in returning, Jiang Mian came out and stood beside Yang Tinghe to persuade him.

Yang Tinghe said: "I thought that the concubine of Xing Wangfu would persuade His Majesty to turn around with benevolence, righteousness and national law, but I never thought... Sigh!"

Yang Tinghe really can't understand, the little emperor is ignorant, so is Jiang Wangfei, the mother, also ignorant?

The words you said are clearly instigating the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, deliberately pushing the conflict to the point of irreconcilability. Is this for the sake of your son?
Apparently Yang Tinghe couldn't understand Princess Jiang's longing for the position of empress dowager. It was the supreme honor that a woman could only dream of. Coupled with the great gift from civil servants, Princess Jiang was born to adopt her only son under someone else's name. She was a mother None of them are happy.

Jiang Mian said: "Perhaps Wangfei...she did nothing wrong, but His Majesty put benevolence and filial piety first and misinterpreted Wangfei's meaning."

What Jiang Mian means is that you can't just make conspiracy theories about everything and make Princess Jiang so unbearable.

Concubine Jiang asked her younger brother to explain to the emperor that she had no intention of entering the palace to be the queen mother, but only wanted to return to Anlu and continue to be the concubine of the Xing Palace. From then on, she broke off the favor of the new emperor, and asked the emperor not to think about her... This is a great mother. Sacrificial?

Yang Tinghe stared at Jiang Mian: "You really think so?"

It seems to be saying, we are all discerning people, can't you see that Princess Jiang is fanning the flames?
Jiang Mian sighed: "Now that the situation has developed to this point, there is no room for any mistakes. It is better to let go of your prejudices. After all, your majesty's caring for your mother is also beneficial to education, so there is no need to be harsh."
