Chapter 928 Trouble Terminator

Originally, the monarch and his ministers had their own positions, and they could not back down from each other.

The emperor has already issued an imperial edict, and the ministers have also jointly signed the petition, preparing to remonstrate with death inside and outside the court, and argue hard with reason. It seems that there will be a big incident, and even an irreconcilable gap will appear between the monarch and his ministers.

For example, a large number of courtiers threatened to become an official, causing the court to stop, or there were large-scale kneeling and remonstrance...

As a counterattack, the emperor will definitely resort to some means of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, or even killing a hundred people. It is even possible to kill people. After all, the emperor holds the scholars who participated in the fight in yesterday's debate. Isn't surgery a piece of cake?
But now, with Zhu Hao's sudden appearance, the two sides have room to bargain again.

it looks like...

Neither side is willing to accept such a concession, but only officials at the innermost level of the court can understand how important this leeway is.

Wang Jun, Jiang Mian and the others had spoken too harshly before, and they could not take the initiative to go along with Zhu Hao's proposal in this step of retreat, even though they had already approved Zhu Hao's proposal in their hearts.

The emperor's imperial edict has been issued, and it is unrealistic to ask him to retreat voluntarily.

This requires someone to come out as "cannon fodder".

Sun Jiao looked at this posture, it seems that the court can't do without me, since it was the proposal made by Jing Dao, it seems to be a trick played by him and the emperor, this is to retreat to advance, right?
These two boys are very good at playing at first glance, the emperor first named his father "Junsheng Huangkao", and Zhu Hao also took the opportunity to re-enter the court minister's sight.

Sun Jiao pondered again, and it seemed that the latter was more likely.

Where is the emperor talking about the ceremony?
It was basically looking for an opportunity for Zhu Hao to show off, and then let Zhu Hao take the opportunity to take the position.

Sun Jiao came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that we should not only respect the filial piety, righteousness and etiquette, but also clarify the order of the ancestral halls, so that the general order will not be chaotic. Zhu Langzhong's proposal is reasonable and reasonable. Your Majesty, please consider its feasibility."

Zhang Chong came out during the ceremony, and asked sharply: "Sun Butang, you are famous in the Zhonglian, don't you even understand the most basic etiquette? As a son of man, how can you do it twice?" reason?"

Sun Jiao was too lazy to talk to Zhang Chong.

At first glance, it looks like a little person who doesn't understand and only holds a dead brain. At this time, when others don't talk, why are you coaxing?All the etiquettes are in the matter, a small speech officer, dare to question me, a minister of the household department, in front of all the officials?
Huang Zan hastily stepped forward and said, "Why can't a son have two exams? Even the sons of the people, after adopting, still worship the original concubine, which is praised as filial piety. Besides, your majesty is not very human, and the act of succession is all for the Ming Dynasty." Jiangshan Sheji, adding the name of "Junsheng" to distinguish it is also to show the etiquette, what's wrong?"

Both Huang Zan and Sun Jiao knew Zhu Hao's status.

If this word came from someone else, perhaps neither of them would come forward, but since Zhu Hao said it, they all knew that this should be the emperor's final decision.

But it is obvious that Huang Zan's words are contrary to his argument of "inheritance and not succession". Even if his father added "Bensheng", he was posthumously named Huangkao, but he still called Xiaozong "Huangkao", that is still for others Be a son.

Zhu Hao knew Huang Zan's thoughts very well.

Huang Zan had a chance to take the position. He first became a Hanlin scholar, and he might join the cabinet in the future. He was always in the circle of civil officials. He had already become a public enemy of civil officials. Climbing up a pole?

This also shows that Huang Zan actually has no position on the issue of the Great Rites.

It is only because he wants to rely on the great ceremony to discuss his superiority that he will stand on the position of "succession, not succession". Huang Zan himself may be more willing to follow the trend.

Zhu Si's face seemed less annoyed than before, but his tone was still unkind: "I have issued an edict yesterday, so after all you talk about it, should I take it back?"

Sun Jiaodao: "Your Majesty, all of this is for the sake of the great Ming country... I hope that Your Majesty will care about the common people in the world and consider the rituals and music of the world. I think this is what Emperor Xingxian wants to see in the spirit of heaven."

The grandson here is even more ruthless.

Just moved out the dead old Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao.

Of course Zhu Si didn't like to hear it.

But now that Sun surrendered to act as a lubricant, if he directly conflicted with Sun, then this step would be difficult.

"If I were to add a 'Benshenghuangkao' to the late emperor and dedicate it to the emperor, how would the Ministry of Rites feel?"

Zhu Si seemed to be holding back his anger, and turned his head to Wang Jun who was the first to attack him, but he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Wang Jun didn't know what to say at the moment. From a rational point of view, it would be best for both sides to take a step back, and the effect can be considered basically achieved. As long as the emperor didn't dump Xiaozong's lineage, the civil servant's persuasion would be a big win. success.

But today, the battlefield is so big, how easy is it for him, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, to swallow back what he said?

"My minister agrees!"

Just when Wang Jun didn't express his opinion for a long time, suddenly a person came out from the class of ministers, and it was Fei Hong, a cabinet scholar.

When Fei Hong walked in, what many people thought was that the emperor was clearly asking for the opinion of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites should speak out. Why did you come out to disturb the situation?

But then some people understood a problem, that is, Fei Hongzhengde was recalled to the cabinet in 16. Minister of the Ministry of Rites is just a false title of cabinet minister, which is not useful most of the time, but at this critical moment, it is not impossible for Fei Hong to come out to speak on behalf of the Ministry of Rites.

More importantly, Fei Hong helped Wang Jun solve a dilemma.

You, Wang Jun, were so high-minded before, and now you can't retreat, so I will save face for you, and at worst, I will be the bad guy.

Compared with when Sun handed over his consent to the matter before, he was directly questioned by Zhang Chong during the matter given by Li Kedu, Fei Hong came out to say this, and no one present questioned it.

Perhaps at this time, many people have noticed that even the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and the Minister of Rites did not explicitly oppose Zhu Hao's proposal, and Sun Jiao of the neutral faction and Huang Zan of the Yili faction endorsed this proposal, and the emperor also backed down It takes courage for anyone to speak up at this time.

However, Fei Hong's move not only did not get slander from others, but made people feel that he was very responsible.

He took the blame for Wang Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

It is also because Fei Hong, as a cabinet scholar, in the eyes of civil servants, it doesn't matter whether he has high power or not, and his status and influence are leveraged. Weigh it carefully... and questioning Sun Jiao basically doesn't have such concerns.

Fei Hong's appearance represented not only the Ministry of Rites, but also the cabinet.

Zhu Si said coldly: "In that case, let's re-draft the edict according to Zhu Qing's family's proposal. Zhu Qing's family, you are very capable. I asked you to investigate the case of the scholar's fight, and you actually came up with such a famous trick." ? It seems that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is not suitable for you, you should go back to your Hanlin Academy and continue to be your editor!"

"Thank you sir."

Zhu Hao accepted Zhu Si's order frankly.

This kind of appointment, without going through the official department, or even discussing with anyone, makes a decision directly, which seems very hasty.

In normal times, someone would definitely come out and discuss the importance of rules with the emperor.

But today no one came out to protest.

The problem is that Zhu Hao was originally a Hanlin Xiuzhuan, but somehow he was transferred out, turned [-] corners, and went back to continue to be an Hanlin Xiuzhuan. Is this considered an "extraordinary promotion" for Zhu Hao?
More like a punitive measure by the emperor!

Let your kid work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and always trouble me if you have nothing to do, then I will give you a Hanlin Xiuzhuan who looks good, but is actually an idler, let you continue to go back to repair books, and see how you feel!

In addition, today Zhu Hao found a room for retreat for both the monarch and his subjects, and he can be regarded as a meritorious person. Even if there are some hard-headed civil servants who are dissatisfied with letting such a person return to the Imperial Academy, most people still feel that this is the case. That's good, at least it didn't let the number one scholar with previous convictions continue to wander outside the Imperial Academy for too long, let alone let a promising young man be assigned to a local official.

"Retreat!"

Zhu Si didn't even want to discuss other matters, so he got up angrily and walked away.

……

……

The ministers present experienced a thrilling court meeting that didn't take long. After the court dismissed, many people's palms were sweating coldly.

It is said to be a big ceremony, but in fact it is just a small group of people reveling there, and more people don't want to get involved in this kind of court dispute, no matter who the emperor wants to respect as the emperor, even if they feel that the emperor's behavior is inappropriate, but the body As a professional politician, don't you even have a little flexible thinking?How to climb high?

If Zhu Hao hadn't come forward to come up with a compromise plan before, perhaps all the ministers would have been forced to continue admonishing, and some would even hit their heads against a pillar, or kneel at the gate of the palace together.

How did the Zuo Shunmen case come about?
Is everyone among them such a staunch defender of morality?
Now it seems that the civil servants are at a disadvantage. The emperor finally had the opportunity to posthumously make his own father the emperor, and added the imperial examination, but the addition of "Bensheng" is not so nice, but the victory is that the opinions of both the monarch and his ministers have been reached. Consistently, many people can rest assured to go back to the Yamen for a day, and sleep well at night.

The meeting will disperse.

On Zhu Hao's side, everyone hates dogs, and no one wants to come over and argue with him.

Even if many people agree with Zhu Hao in their hearts, in terms of face, they still have to keep a distance from Zhu Hao who is a "little man on the wall", because no one knows the attitude of the orthodox civil servants towards Zhu Hao.

Only Yang Shen took the initiative to come over, and said to Zhu Hao in a kind tone: "Respect, congratulations, you are back to the museum again."

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Yongxiu? I thought you were here to question me, but I don't know what to tell you..."

Yang Shen didn't shy away from other people's strange gazes, and sighed: "Even if you didn't do the right thing, judging from the result, it's not that bad, and you didn't insult those innocent scholars for your own future. "

Zhu Hao smiled slightly: "Really? I'm not even sure how His Majesty will handle this case, you tell me this... I don't know what to do."
