Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 583: Take sides! The Hanwang Party and the Taisun Party!

Latest website:

Outside the Meridian Gate, hundreds of officials gathered.

One month has passed since the prince's funeral.

His Majesty the Emperor was extremely saddened by the death of the prince and has been absent from the court ever since.

Even if the civil and military officials can understand, there is no one in the court to take charge of the overall situation, so it is not an option to continue like this.

Not long ago, six ministers submitted a memorial, requesting the emperor to appoint someone to supervise the country's administration.

Following the six ministers, a number of officials also submitted memorials.

However, what is frightening and unsettling is that after these memorials were handed over, they were like stones sinking into the sea. The emperor ignored them all and did not give any response.

It wasn't until the emperor issued an order to discuss matters in court yesterday that the civil and military officials hurriedly made preparations and rushed to the Meridian Gate early in the morning to wait eagerly.

All the officials knew very well that today's meeting would determine the future political situation of the Ming Dynasty!

Due to the sudden death of the prince Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince's throne was vacant, causing unrest and unrest.

Therefore, the candidate chosen by the Emperor to supervise the country today is very likely to be the next Crown Prince, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The candidates to supervise the country are none other than Han King Zhu Gaoxu and Grand Sun Zhu Zhanji.

It is true that the grandson Zhu Zhanjigui is His Royal Highness the grandson and occupies a righteous position. The position of the prince should be inherited by him.

However, what His Highness the Grand Sun did not long ago was really chilling. Not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor was extremely disappointed in him, and all the civil and military officials did not think highly of the Grand Sun Zhu Zhanji.

It’s just that he was young and ignorant, and his ambition was exposed early, but he didn’t have the strength and ability to match his ambition!

Who dares to support such a great grandson?

On the other hand, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, not only had outstanding military and civil achievements, but also had full wings. There were countless people supporting him both inside and outside the court.

Now that the prince Zhu Gaochi has passed away prematurely, in a sense, he, Zhu Gaoxu, is the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, and he is also qualified to become the prince!

The battle between the King of Han and Tai Sun will determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty for a century!

Yang Shiqi now has the title of cabinet bachelor, but he doesn't know where he should stand.

After all, after staying in Nanyang for three or four years, he had been away from the central court for too long. Now he was suddenly preparing to go to court, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Master Yang, stand next to me!

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Yang Shiqi looked back, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The person who spoke was none other than Gu Zuo, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The top official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate now has a full beard and has a heroic and resolute appearance, giving people an aloof demeanor of no anger and self-power.

Yang Shiqi's thoughts were a little dazed. He still remembered that Gu Zuo was just a small local official back then, but he was highly recommended by the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu. At the age of 30, he entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and became one of the most popular nine ministers in the court.

I have to admit that His Highness the King of Han’s vision is unparalleled.

Back then, no one believed in the Gu Zuo he recommended. After all, Gu Zuo was too young, so young that people felt disdainful.

However, no one expected that Gu Zuo not only secured his position as the censor of the Zuodu, but also led the Metropolitan Procuratorate to vigorously reform with the support of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, until the entire Duprocuratorate and even the six departments were all involved. It has become a special existence that is feared by officials!

And Gu Zuo himself, with the overwhelming power in his hands, became the head of the Nine Qings!

Even now, Gu Zuo is not yet forty years old, has not yet reached the age of forty, and is still terrifyingly young!

In his thirties, he was already the head of the Nine Qing Dynasty, and he was in charge of the powerful weapon of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he, Gu Zuo, was the number one person in the court.

Moreover, this Gu Zuo is still an out-and-out member of the King of Han, who obeys the orders of the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu!

Gu Zuo took the initiative to show his kindness to him, and Yang Shiqi was very happy.

There is no other reason, it must be that the Prince of Han and Gu Zuo are in trouble.

What made Yang Shiqi happy was that the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, finally accepted and recognized him, and that His Highness, the King of Han, was finally on the right track and began to fight for the throne!

This is what makes him happiest!

Yang Shiqi stood next to Gu Zuo, and soon a person came towards him. It was Song Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Song Li smiled and bowed his hands to the two of them, and then the three of them started chatting.

Not long after, several people came over one after another.

Jia Liang, the minister of Dali Temple, Wang Jing, the minister of rites, Lu Mu, the general affairs envoy...

One after another, the Dajiuqing gathered together and began to murmur.

When other officials saw this scene, they were even more frightened.

These are the Great Nine Ministers, and any one of them can influence the situation in the court.

But now, they are all gathered together, and any fool can guess what they want to do.

Yang Shiqi suddenly stopped speaking and looked at one person in astonishment.

This man had an expressionless face and was staring at him coldly.

The former chief envoy of Dongkun, the new cabinet bachelor, Yang Pu!

When he saw Yang Pu for the first time, Yang Shiqi was happy that his friend could return to Beijing to take up a post. However, when he felt the cold gaze from Yang Pu, his previous joy disappeared in an instant.

Without much thought, Yang Shiqi understood the choice of his friend Yang Pu.

Yang Pu chose his grandson Zhu Zhanji instead of Han King Zhu Gaoxu.

At that time, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They were not afraid of the power of Han King Zhu Gaoxu and impeached him for his illegal behavior many times. The two also became good friends because of their like-mindedness.

However, now, several years have passed, things have changed.

The confidants and friends of the past may become life-or-death enemies in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu came over calmly.

As soon as the sharp-eyed officials saw him, they immediately bowed and saluted.

I have met His Highness the King of Han!

I have met His Highness the King of Han!

I have met His Highness the King of Han!

Faced with the active overtures from the ministers, Zhu Gaoxu just nodded indifferently, which UU Reading www.uukanshu.net regarded as a response.

When things got to this point, he really had no way out and could only fight for that position.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to Gu Zuo and others and nodded to them.

Gu Zuo, Yang Shiqi and others' hearts moved, and they each planned their next court plans.

They must do one thing today, and that is to help the emperor appoint His Royal Highness the King of Han to supervise the country's governance!

The prince died of illness and the emperor fell ill, but the country could not live without a king for a day. It was necessary to decide on a supervisor to handle the government affairs of the court and ensure the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Prince Han must seize the power to supervise the country today!

I have met His Highness the Grand Sun!

A soft drink attracted everyone's attention.

I saw the grandson Zhu Zhanji walking over expressionlessly. He first glanced at Zhu Gaoxu from a distance, and then slowly walked to a position of equal status and stood up.

Yang Pu did not hesitate and stood directly behind Zhu Zhanji, followed by Jin Chun, the Minister of Punishment, and many officials from the ministry.

When things have developed to this point, both parties understand the importance of today's meeting, so there is no need to hide anything.

Even if such behavior is likely to arouse the emperor's anger, everyone no longer cares.

As long as you seize the power to supervise the country, it is equivalent to seizing the position of prince. This is the most important thing!

Jin Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not choose to take sides, but stood silently between the two. Behind them, there were also many officials who were unwilling to take sides. Yang Rong suddenly stood up. in this column.

However, no one knew that His Majesty the Emperor, who they thought was seriously ill, was standing on the city wall, looking thoughtfully at the scene in front of him.

Duchayuan, Dali Temple, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry... Second brother, second brother, you can stretch your hand long enough!
