Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 400

To promote each of the four officials to a level can be regarded as the emperor's humility and generosity.

The important ministers had nothing to say, and they stopped working.

Zhu Qiyu looked at this posture, everyone was already absent-minded, so he no longer forced to stay, and very considerately let everyone go home.

The root cause is that Wei Ji has too much influence.

Wei Ji is not only the oldest senior official today, but also a well-deserved moral model.

These ministers present are all the best of the best, and they are extremely keen in judging the situation.As soon as you hear it, you can understand that the emperor's mention of Wei Ji was definitely not just for the sake of instructing Chen Xun and Yu Shiyue.

Moreover, the emperor had to entertain Wei Ji himself, so there must be a lot of articles in it.

The ministers were eager to go back to study and discuss the next changes in the situation. They didn't even eat, and ran to the capital in a hurry.

In a blink of an eye, only He Yi was left in the pavilion.

He Yi was more refined, and took the initiative to stay and wait to write greetings for the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "In addition to Wei Ji, we also want to invite King Min, King Dongwu, Princess Baoqing's son-in-law, and Duke Wei, Xingyi, you have written a letter of worship, please go and invite him in person.

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow is fine, but this family banquet is very important, so they must all come. "

He Yi asked: "Do you need to disclose to them in advance what His Majesty wants to talk about?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "I want to give Sanyang a formal charge. It's not enough just to collude with Wala and smuggle and betray the country.

Colluding with Li Shi and betraying Jiaozhi, this is their second crime.

Since it's Sanyang, I'll give them three charges first.

My mother was deposed for no reason and died young. Someone must be responsible for this.

Sanyang colluded with the inner court, confused the ruler and messed up the government, conspired to abolish the establishment, and killed the empress. This is their biggest crime. "

Hearing this, Rao He Yi was stunned: the first two charges, if someone in later generations is willing to confuse Sanyang for San Yang, maybe they can still be cleared.

But once the third charge is charged, it will be an iron case, even if Sima Qian is reborn, there is nothing he can do.

The emperor has been silent for so many days, so he was waiting here.

It's ridiculous to say that the first two charges are real, and there is no trace of injustice, but there is no iron case.

The following crimes are very far-fetched, but they can prevent people from turning over forever.

However, when it comes to the matter of Tianjia, He Yi just marvels, but doesn't speak.

Zhu Qiyu immediately explained: "Xuanzong is mainly responsible for the abolition of the empress. But I can't publicly deny Xuanzong, so this responsibility can only be borne by Sanyang.

Moreover, Sanyang's collusion with the inner court is also almost inseparable, not completely wronging them.

Sanyang is being liquidated now, and after two or three years, when the time is right, the "inner court" that has colluded with Sanyang will be cleaned up.

You can disclose the content of the banquet to Wei Ji and the four royal relatives, and even to the cabinet ministers.In short, you can master it yourself, and you can use it as a favor. "

He Yi was very moved when he heard this, this is a great favor, otherwise those people would not be able to guess the emperor's intention even if they tried their best.

Zhu Qiyu returned home, and as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw that the table was full of delicacies from mountains and seas.

The four favorite concubines greeted them with smiles.

Zhu Qiyu joked: "The ladies are really generous. They bought so many delicious foods to make me eat and drink enough so that I can work hard for you."

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she corrected her very seriously: "Your husband is our master, and we are your slaves. We are the ones who will serve you like cattle and horses."

"Come on, is there a slave owner who suffers like me in the world? In order to fight for your children, I fight wits and courage with those people every day. This emperor is worse than the third grandson."

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "After entering Ruanrou Township, my husband will stop thinking about those unhappy things. My family has good news for you, do you want to listen?"

"Listen, my concubine, please speak."

"My mother is happy."

"what?"

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, before he realized it.This is indeed a happy event. The battle for the title of the Marquis of Wuding was extremely fierce before, which caused the Yi family to be unable to give birth.

Now the title dispute has been resolved satisfactorily, and the first and second families live separately.

Wu Dinghou and his wife relaxed their minds, and after a long time, there will naturally be happy events.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "This is a good thing, if the mother-in-law gives birth to a son, then our son will have an uncle.

We have to congratulate our father-in-law and mother-in-law now. "

"Don't, don't, my husband has been tired for a long time, you should fill your stomach first. Otherwise, you should blame us for abusing the poorest slave owner in the world."

Zhu Qiyu sat down at the table and instructed: "In a day or two, I will invite Wei Ji, Minister of Civil Affairs of Nanjing, King Min, King of Dongwu County, Princess Baoqing's son-in-law, and Duke Wei to have dinner together. Remember to arrange it properly."

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously after hearing the words: "Why is there such a thing as a whole, and they are the emperor's relatives, nobles, and important ministers. What is your husband going to talk to them about?"

Zhu Qiyu told it from beginning to end.

Lin Xiangyu was also stunned, and nodded her head stupidly for a long time, then Fang asked again: "My family agreed to Wang Xian, and we will arrange marriage for him. Wei Guogong has a daughter who is just the right age, what does the husband think?"

"You sisters discuss it, I don't worry about these things."

……

But when Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others returned to the cabinet, Wang Wen didn't even have a sip of tea. He turned around and ran away on the grounds that he was going back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial, and he couldn't hold back.

The people in the Ministry of War didn't care about these things, Luo Tong and Huang Pu also ran fast.

Then Zhou Chen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Shen Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, were unwilling to get involved.

The rest are important ministers who are willing to communicate with each other.

Chen Xun said helplessly: "I have to go see Mr. Wei, and scolding will definitely be unavoidable."

Zou Gan quickly dissuaded him: "Mr. Ge, don't be too busy. Let's brainstorm and discuss it first, and then go to see Mr. Wei together."

Chen Xun looked at Zou Gan curiously.

Zou Gan explained: "The crown prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be changed. Since His Majesty wants to entertain Mr. Wei, we must go to persuade Mr. Wei together.

Then it was Elder Wei who came forward to dispel His Majesty's idea of ​​changing the crown prince.

At the same time, we must prevent Wei Lao from becoming an official, persuade Wei Lao to stay in the capital, and rectify the court. "

Yu Shiyue and Shi Pu immediately agreed.

Jiang Yuan and He Wenyuan did not express their views, nor did they support or oppose it.

Xu Youzhen nodded slightly in agreement.

But Xu Youzhen agrees on the surface, but disagrees in the heart, and even secretly wants to laugh: Why are the two Ministers of Rites, Yu Shiyue and Zou Gan, so serious.Just jumping up and down at you, this Shangshu will end at the end of the year at most.

The lesson learned by Hu Wei, the Minister of Rites, is there, and the later Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has not learned the lesson.

Although these important ministers are all human spirits, there is also a gap in rank between human spirits.

Xu Youzhen's ability and insight, at least far surpassed Yu Shiyue and Zou Gan.Regarding the death of Hu Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Youzhen keenly saw the hidden truth.

But if you don't tell the truth if you see it through, you will die if you say it is broken.

Everyone present reached a consensus, Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, Zou Gan, and Shi Pu urged to persuade Wei Ji, while Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, and Xu Youzhen followed to see the joke.

Don't be too late, just do what you say, and everyone came to Wei Ji's residence together.

Wei Ji didn't want to meet with so many ministers all at once, but Chen Xun asked to see him on the grounds that the emperor ordered all the people to come to express condolences.

The emperor's order cannot be violated, so Wei Ji had no choice but to let everyone in.

First of all, Chen Xun first apologized to Wei Ji, then explained his purpose of coming, advised Wei Ji not to take office, and finally informed the emperor of the banquet invitation.

Because Wei Ji's seniority is extremely old and his prestige is extremely high, the emperor used an invitation instead of a call, which is considered decent.

Wei Ji studied Confucianism intensively and was a great Confucian, so it was impossible to refuse the emperor's invitation.

When Chen Xun finished speaking, Wei Ji was about to see off the guests.

Wei Ji also knew the recent situation in the capital. At this time, a highly respected Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing met with a group of important cabinet ministers at his residence, and it was inevitable that he would make a statement.

Zou Gan was still the most active, standing up and persuading: "Old Wei, there are rumors in Beijing that His Majesty wants to depose the crown prince, you can't just sit idly by.

For the sake of all the people in the world, for the sake of the country and the country, it is absolutely impossible to ask Wei Lao to plead for the people, to go to Beijing to depose the prince. "

To everyone's surprise, Wei Ji snorted coldly, then gave Zou Gan a hard look, and then kept silent.

What kind of attitude is this?Not only Chen Xun, Yu Shiyue, Zou Gan, and Shi Pu were confused and confused; even Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan, and Xu Youzhen, the three who came to see the excitement, were puzzled.
