Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

It was about eleven o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, and finally someone came.

Su Mu was idly counting the cloud patterns in the algae well above his head, when he heard a eunuch screaming outside: "Old Yang Ge, you came so fast, take a rest in the monastery first, it's cold today. Long live Lord will come back later, and I can see all the elders after changing clothes."

"Okay, wait inside." The person who spoke was Yang Tinghe, the second assistant of the cabinet. He was very anxious now, and strode in.

Su Mu hurriedly stood up: "Ge Lao."

Yang Tinghe looked at Su Mu, snorted, and sat next to him.

Su Mu is a little puzzled, this old Yang Ge seems to look down on him very much, does he object to my proposal to use all-round troops in Shanxi?

However, on second thought.Lao Yang had a lot of conflicts with himself when he was in the East Palace, and the relationship between the two has not been repaired until now.

An eunuch hurriedly brought over tea, and Yang Tinghe drank it in big gulps, puffing white air from his mouth and nose, obviously it was very cold outside just now.

Yang Tinghe is very upright, it can be said that his temper is like a fire.In fact, in a sense, he is not a suitable candidate for the cabinet. The prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach!

Su Mu was familiar with his temperament, after saying hello, he sat on the side and closed his mouth, so as not to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, after taking a sip of hot water, Yang Tinghe suddenly turned his neck and nodded towards Su Mu: "Well done."

"Cifu..." Su Mu was surprised.

"Little Ma Ang, only you can persuade His Majesty to drive his concubine out of the palace." Yang Tinghe still had a serious face: "However, this matter cannot be confused with the use of troops in the Northwest."

"Cifu is right." Su Mu started to stroke his beard again: Is this a verbal praise?

Yang Tinghe was about to say more, when the eunuch outside shouted: "Yang Ge is old."

The one who came in was Yang Yiqing, a minister of the cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of officials.

He is an old acquaintance of Su Mu. I think they got along well when they were in Shanxi.

This time they met, both of them were pleasantly surprised.Yang Yiqing talked a lot, so he sat next to Su Mu, talking and laughing loudly.

Yang Yiqing had been in the trilateral system, and he led old soldiers. This time he was going to use troops against the Tatars, so the topic naturally revolved around the army.Recently, Su Mu's mind is full of military affairs, so he exchanged ideas with him.

Yang Tinghe listened annoyed, and his complexion gradually became ugly.

Su Mu's heart moved, and he thought to himself: This time the emperor summoned the decision-making core of the Ming Dynasty to discuss whether to use troops against the Tatars, and there must be a discussion.Zhengde definitely wanted to do something to the little prince, but he had to ask for everyone's opinions.Depending on the situation, Yang Yiqing agreed to fight against the enemy, but Yang Tinghe definitely opposed it.Judging from the current situation, one to one, the key is the attitude of the other elders.

After a while, another eunuch shouted: "Old Liang Ge, old Jiang Ge!"

These two people were added to the cabinet later, although Su Mu knew each other, he was not familiar with them.

The expressions of these two people were also very serious, and their attitude towards Su Mu was also cold, obviously they would not agree to the proposal in Su Mu's note.

One to three, the situation is not good, Su Mu doesn't feel a sigh, Li Dongyang is the first assistant, the person who is the first assistant pays attention to impartiality, and probably will not support or oppose any faction.It seems that the cabinet is against sending troops.As for the supervisor of ceremonies, maybe we can still fight for it.

After a while, Li Dongyang and Liu Zhong, another minister of the cabinet, came in talking with the supervisors.

With so many people rushing in at once, the abode immediately became crowded.

The six assistant ministers of the cabinet and the five chief pens of the chief inspector of ceremonies all gather here.If the Ming Dynasty was a large company and Emperor Zhengde was the chairman, these 11 people would be the heads of various departments.

This time, all the family members of the Ming Dynasty were present.

It was rare for everyone to get together, so it was naturally a pleasant exchange.

The eunuch hurriedly brought in refreshments, saying that Lord Long Live was eating, and came over to discuss with everyone after lunch.

Ladies and gentlemen, please use some refreshments to make up for it.

The shopkeepers and CEOs of the Ming Dynasty all knew that today's meeting would be delayed for a long time, and there would definitely be no food for lunch.No more talking at the moment, they all lowered their heads and ate their snacks.

For a while, the sound of spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves filled the room, which was very spectacular.

Su Mu was so hungry, he didn't have much appetite, and he had something else on his mind, so he couldn't help but look up at Zhang Yong.The use of troops in Shanxi this time is related to whether he can return to the decision-making center and whether he can restore the old relationship with Zhengde, so he can't help but not care.

Zhang Yong also noticed the questioning intent in Su Mu's eyes, eunuchs and civil officials were distinct, and it was inconvenient for him to greet Su Mu after entering the room.

Seeing Su Mu looking over, he shook his head slightly.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, judging from what Zhang Yong meant, the most likely reason was that the memorial he submitted had not passed the court this morning.Secondly, this is the decision-making layer's discussion, and the supervisor of ceremonies can't help much.

And, the latter is most likely.

To put it bluntly, the Supervisor of Rituals holds the power to criticize and lead the emperor to make decisions, and is the most important yamen inside and outside the palace.To put it bluntly, it is just a secretarial organization, not an authority. According to the system, they have no right to speak at such important military meetings. Their duties are only to record and wait for the emperor to consult at any time.

Without the help of the Supervisor of Rituals, and only Yang Yiqing in the cabinet agreed to send troops from all over the country to fight the Tatars, the prospects for this imperial meeting are not good!

After eating refreshments indiscriminately and tidying up, Emperor Zhengde finally appeared.

He had already taken off his court clothes and changed into a vermilion uniform, with a jet-black horse-bend on his head.

It had been two or two years since he had seen the emperor, and Su Mu still regarded him as his best friend in his heart, so he couldn't help but look up.

However, compared with two years ago, Zhengde has grown a beard on his lips and chin, and combined with his tall and straight figure, he looks very majestic.

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The little emperor has grown into an adult!

Su Mu observed the emperor, Zhengde also looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air.

Zhengde quickly turned his head to the side, as if he didn't want to make eye contact with Su Mu.

He strode to the first seat, rolled up his long sleeves on his arms with a cry, and sat down: "Everyone is here, let's start!"

The voice is thick and deep, compared with the slightly immature voice before, it seems to be a different person.

Su Mu suddenly had a strange feeling that Zhengde was only a dozen meters away from him, but it seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

I can no longer see Zhu Houzhao from the East Palace.

In an instant, the days of Xiyuan in the past were as unreal as a dream, illusory and impossible to grasp.

At this time, Su Mu suddenly woke up.I and Zhu Houzhao are no longer playmates when we were young, but monarchs and ministers.

There is naturally an insurmountable gap between the monarch and his subjects.
