Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 247 The man behind the scenes is His Royal Highness the Prince
The news spread quickly, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approved all the resignations submitted by Xungui. This news shocked the court in an instant.This is the first time Zhu Houzhao has shown his toughness in front of his courtiers.Such an approach caused an uproar among many courtiers, including many civil servants, and some even began to worry.

Although everyone said that His Highness the Crown Prince has Taizong legacy, that was just flattery, praising His Highness the Crown Prince's martial arts.

In fact, no official hopes that His Royal Highness will really have the legacy of Taizong, or really look like Emperor Taizong.You must know that everyone's favorite emperor is not Emperor Taizong. Although everyone is praising Emperor Taizong, but really think about it from the heart, not many people want to return to the era of Emperor Taizong.

You must know that although Emperor Taizu was the most ruthless killer in Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizong did not give up too much, and it was Emperor Taizong who killed the ten clans.During the time of Emperor Taizong, Jinyiwei was very popular, and the commander of Jinyiwei was Ji Gang. That was really a hawk of Tianjia. How many people were killed?Only the civil servants are stupid to want to go back to that era.

The strength of His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly gave people a bad feeling. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince really wants to be like Emperor Taizong or Emperor Taizu?How did that day go.

In the current official circles of the Ming Dynasty, receiving and giving gifts has become a common practice. Everyone doesn't think there is any problem, and corruption is not a big problem, but if we really go back to that time, how will we live in those days?Many people even began to worry about this issue, and the debate about the staff office in the court seemed to have been poured with cold water.

Cabinet duty room.

It has been a while since the news reached here. The three cabinet scholars have not spoken for a long time. Even after decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, the three are still a little dazed about the situation in front of them.Although the three of them all came from the Chenghua period, and there was also Wang Zhi during the Chenghua period, it was completely different from now. The emperor's end by the eunuch's hand and the emperor's personal end were completely different things.

Although it was not the emperor who ended up this time, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he was the only son of the Daming Emperor and the sole heir of the Daming Country and Sheji, which was no different from the emperor's own end.

"It seems that we can be sure now!" Li Dongyang spoke from the side for a long time, his tone was very low, and he sighed softly and said: "Everyone has underestimated our Prince, the people behind Shouning Hou Zhang Heling, and finally can be sure Yes, it is actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In fact, the speculation about this matter has not stopped in the past few years, and the three people have long suspected the prince Zhu Houzhao, but there is no way to be sure.

Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang, sighed softly and said: "It is indeed the case. Three years ago, His Royal Highness expanded the Black Dragon Army. Although we haven't checked it, we have roughly calculated it. It is absolutely not enough to rely on the silver allocated by the court. , His Royal Highness has been adding money to it all the time, and His Royal Highness's money should come from Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning."

"There's also Qiyizhai!" Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, also spoke at this time. He said with a sullen face and a very serious voice: "The person behind the Qiweizhai should also be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The three of them fell silent again, and Xie Qian said slowly after a long while: "Actually, we should have expected it a long time ago. Since the inspection of the Beijing camp that year, His Royal Highness may have been quite full of government affairs, and the Beijing camp is corrupt. , His Highness the Crown Prince walked away in anger after riding a horse and performing martial arts, His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything at that time, we thought the matter was over."

"Now it seems that not only has it not happened, but His Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to revive the Beijing Camp. After holding back for so many years, His Highness the Crown Prince finally took action against the Beijing Camp."

"One more thing!" Li Dongyang said again: "His Royal Highness is probably doing this to suppress Shou Ninghou!"

Although Li Dongyang didn't say anything further, the other two people were not rookies in the officialdom, so they naturally knew what was going on.In the past few years, the strength of Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, has grown tremendously. The dignitaries supported him, and at the same time, many people on the civil service side fell to him. His Royal Highness probably couldn't stand it anymore. This time His Royal Highness stood up, definitely There are ideas in this regard.

"What should we do?" After a long while, Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, raised his head to look at the two people, and then asked.

Zhu Youtang is not an emperor who likes to play tricks, so for so many years, the cabinet has been very stable, and the three of them have not had any political struggles. Unlike the Jiajing Dynasty, the cabinet is a battlefield, so the relationship between the three is very harmonious, big and small. It can also be discussed, and the attitude can also be maintained externally.

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Xie Qian spoke first, and said with a little hesitation: "Perhaps His Majesty will change his mind?"

After hearing Xie Qian's words, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang didn't talk to each other. They understood Xie Qian's meaning, that is, His Majesty took back the order, so they didn't have to choose between the two.Although there will be a reputation for inaction, which has slightly damaged some reputation, but it is also within the acceptable range, but both Li Dongyang and Liu Jian think it is unlikely.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Xie Qian also laughed at himself: "Perhaps Your Majesty is also waiting for us to express our opinion!"

The three of them were silent all at once. In fact, the three of them were afraid of this. If His Majesty was also waiting for the three of them to express their views, but the three of them hadn't done anything, what would His Majesty think?Do you feel that the three of you are not loyal enough?But if you express your opinion at this time, what about the reputation of the three of you?
The so-called To Jun Yao and Shun, that is a virtuous minister, who has worked for a lifetime, and has earned the reputation of a treacherous and sycophant, which is not guaranteed at the end of the year!

No one of the three spoke, and none of them wanted to be this early bird, so the three fell into silence again.

Qianqing Palace.

After hearing He Neng's report, Zhu Youtang shook his head with a wry smile: "You are still young after all, so you can't hold your breath!" After thinking for a while, Zhu Youtang continued: "But it's almost there, I'm afraid I can't wait I've got what I want!" Having said that, Zhu Youtang laughed at himself a little bit, although he knew that the hope was not high, but he still had some expectations in his heart.

That's right, Zhu Youtang is looking forward to the reaction of the three cabinet scholars. Even if they don't express their support clearly, it's okay to just show the establishment process of the staff office, but until now, there is still no response from the cabinet. According to the news, it is obvious that the three of them are not ready to make a statement, and if they want to drag it on, how could Zhu Youtang not be disappointed.

You must know that these three people were all single-handedly selected by myself, and I trust them enough. At this moment, Zhu Youtang was in a very complicated mood, so he handed a memorial to He Neng, and Zhu Youtang ordered: "Send it to the cabinet. go!"
