Censor Tang Lian was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing reign. He was not admitted to the Hanlin Academy, but was sent to a local area and served as the magistrate of Baodi County.
During his tenure, he repaired the city and dredged it. Because of his achievements in defending the city, he caught the attention of Gao Gong, so he was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works and changed to the censor.
This is the most typical official relationship.
Every time Gao Gong was impeached and was promoted to official position as usual, Tang Lian would join other Gao Gongmen to beg Yuan Fu.
It is this kind of character who is now kneeling down and howling, wanting to renounce his relationship with Gao Gong!
He can even say that Gao Gong is heartbroken and crazy.
This is not willing to be a repetitive villain, even Shilin Qingming is not willing to do it!
The court officials who had not read the memorial were even more panicked. What on earth was Gao Gong doing? Even such a close friend had abandoned him!
Zhu Yijun looked at Tang Lian: "Tang Lian, I am asking the ministers to discuss matters, not for you to criticize your colleagues."
"Yuan Fude is highly respected and he is the assistant minister left by our emperor. How can I allow you to disparage him at will?"
Although the high arch really surprised him.
But it didn't make him lose his mind.
This matter can be big or small.
To put it mildly, it was just a matter of impatience and lack of thorough thinking.
To put it more seriously, it is a rebellion!
If he had a twitch, it was either the latter or he was about to overturn the table. How could he bear to let Zhu Xizhong lift the butcher's knife until the last moment?
This is related to the stability of the DPRK, so we must not talk nonsense.
Just like the unscrupulous Tang Lian, if Gao Gong is crazy, then what does it mean to reuse his late emperor? What does it matter to Fu Bi's new emperor?
There is a winner or lose in the struggle, but if you even talk about losing your mind and being crazy, the situation will easily get out of control - unless he really arranges five hundred swordsmen in this side hall, Gao Gong cannot be crazy.
After the official scolded Tang Lian from leaving the court, all the officials read Gao Gong's memorial.
During this period, the Minister of Punishment was old and frail and could not stand for a long time, so he fainted.
Everyone tried to save him, and his body parts were all fine, but he couldn't open his eyes.
This made those high-arching party members look anxious and at a loss.
Zhu Yijun saw everything.
Is Gao Gong's memorial so powerful? Of course it is.
What are the five so-called urgent new policies?
To put it simply, firstly, when the royal family listens to the government, each yamen reports and Yuyin answers in person, so there is no need for the ceremonial supervisor to do anything.
Secondly, after the emperor returned to the palace, he personally handled the memorial, which meant that the two palaces were not allowed to interfere with the memorial.
Third, everything must be reported in person. What if the emperor is in the palace? When encountering urgent and important matters, ministers must be allowed to see him at any time, and no one can stop him.
Fourth, the emperor's edict must be approved by the cabinet before it can be implemented.
Fifth, you can’t leave your hair in the middle. If you have a stubborn head? Then the third one is tailor-made. Don’t blame it for being picked up in the middle of the night.
Any one of them can cause an uproar in the court.
Not to mention playing all five things at once.
Being able to force both Feng Bao and Zhu Yijun to stand on the same front, one can imagine the pressure.
Zhu Yijun really wanted to partially agree.
For example, by abolishing the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it would help him get rid of Feng Bao. If he was too busy in the future, he would probably reinstate him.
But the rest... can only shake their heads.
The second article seems to be showing support for the emperor, but don't forget that the master is now in doubt.
Once the Queen Mother is excluded and she is left alone to face the cabinet, it will not be fun.
The last three items make people wonder if Gao Gong is out of his mind.
Without the consent of the cabinet, the edict cannot leave the Forbidden City. So, are you the emperor or am I the emperor?
I still want to report at any time. If I can be picked up even if I sleep in the middle of the night, then why am I still doing this and becoming an emperor?
Zhu Yijun looked at Lu Tiaoyang: "Lv Qing, what do you think of Yuan Fu's performance?"
He naturally understood why Feng Bao pulled him out and pushed him.
Gao Gong's memorial should be sent back to him during the court discussion!
Otherwise, once they arrive at the palace, the more than 20 mouths that will be attached to them will not be as easy to control as the imperial court.
From the local governor to the chief secretary, they all have Gao Gong's disciples and old friends.
If the commotion is really outrageous and we want to dismiss this memorial lightly, it won't be that simple.
Therefore, he must come forward and put an end to this matter at the court meeting.
This is probably one of the countermeasures that Feng Bao and Lu Tiaoyang discussed yesterday.
He also accepted the move tacitly and asked Lu Tiaoyang what he thought first.
Lu Tiaoyang had already prepared a plan, so he bowed and replied: "I don't think so about this."
"Your Majesty has not yet developed his dragon body. He not only studies hard and teaches every day, but also attends court to listen to politics. After the period of filial piety is over, he also needs to learn military archery."
"Yuanfu blindly tries to encourage the growth of the seedlings. He also answers questions personally from Yuyin, handles memorials, and meets with ministers at any time. I think this is absolutely undesirable!"
This attitude is very clear.
The emperor was already young and still growing, so he had so many things going on that he couldn't handle them at all.
Gao Gong's memorial obviously has ulterior motives!
Zhu Yijun nodded and looked at Wang Guoguang: "Wang Qing, what do you think?"
The order of his orders was naturally calculated.
Let’s first click on all those who object.
Regardless of people's tendency to follow the crowd, if everyone is opposed to this, those who are hesitant behind will be able to push their heads back just by the psychological pressure.
Wang Guoguang bowed and replied: "I think otherwise."
"Just this sentence, 'After the imperial review, all drafts will be sent to the cabinet and presented to the cabinet, and if they are in order, then they will be issued' is really inappropriate."
"It is the common practice of the country that not all memorials can be issued until His Majesty issues a cabinet vote."
"For example, appointments and dismissals in the inner court are never discussed by the court. Otherwise, yesterday, when Admiral Li Jin took charge of Dongchang, why was there no cabinet discussion?"
These words not only spoke for the emperor, but also reminded the emperor that this was a real erosion of authority.
I was afraid that the emperor was too young to understand the connotation.
Zhu Yijun smiled and turned to look at Feng Bao: "Feng Daban, what Wang Qing said seems to make sense, what do you think?"
Feng Bao said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, since Yuan Fu doesn't need the Chief of Ceremonies to approve the red, why not just ask for the palm seal?"
These words are heart-wrenching.
Your cabinet needs the right to propose proposals and the right to veto, and the emperor's edicts need to be heard by the cabinet, so why don't you just take the jade seal?
Zhu Yijun didn't answer the question and continued to go over one by one: "Yang Qing, what do you think?"
Yang Bo hurriedly said: "What your Majesty and the Queen Mother mean is what our Ministry of War means."
This old cunning guy.
Zhu Yijun didn't ask any questions about Gao Gong's disciples and old friends, and left people like Ge Shouli, Han Ji, Luo Zun and others aside.
After everyone who could ask questions was forced to express their opinions, only the high-profile people were left in the court.
Fortunately, it is finally close to half.
Zhu Yijun ignored some people and said to himself: "Half of the court officials do not approve of Yuan Fu's memorial, so there is no need to discuss it further."
"We might as well ask Yuan Fu to go back and polish it up."
After some revision and polishing, Gao Gongzhishi's memorial has already been approved.
Lu Tiaoyang immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Wang Guoguang, Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei and others followed suit and prostrated themselves to receive the edict.
Zhu Heng waited for half a beat and quickly agreed.
At this time, everyone looked at Ge Shouli from the corner of their eyes.
Ge Shouli was stunned for a moment, and finally bowed down and accepted the order.
Then all the officials heaved a sigh of relief.
Even Zhu Yijun and Feng Bao, who were above the royal level, couldn't help but look at each other and let out a sigh of relief.
Just when the two of them relaxed.
Sudden.
The eunuch who had just been sent by Feng Bao to lead Gao Gong's official memorial came in from the side hall with a worried look on his face.
When Zhu Yijun saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
Then I saw the eunuch whispering something into Feng Bao's ear.
Feng Bao's expression changed drastically: "What!?"
Then, regardless of etiquette, he turned around and walked down the imperial steps.
Dragging the little eunuch, he left Chang Chao from the side!
…
Feng Baoneng could leave, but Zhu Yijun couldn't give up his choice so casually.
He sat quietly until the court meeting was over.
It's not a mutiny, so there's so much fighting against time.
It is also an important quality for those in power to remain calm during major events.
When the court meeting was over and all the officials dispersed, Zhu Yijun only called Lu Tiaoyang to stop him.
The two of them walked out of the Wenhua Hall one after the other.
Zhu Yijun took the lead and asked: "Lu Qing, don't you have anything to teach me?"
Lu Tiaoyang did Tai Chi and said, "Your Majesty is confused, and I know everything I want to say."
Zhu Yijun was in no mood to beat around the bush with him.
He waved his hand and asked directly: "What do Lu Qing think of Yuan Fu's memorial?"
Lu Tiaoyang hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I have already given an answer..."
Zhu Yijun stopped and turned back suddenly.
He fixed his eyes on Lu Tiaoyang and said word by word: "Lu Qing, this matter is of great importance. Don't respond to me with empty words."
Lu Tiaoyang couldn't dodge, so he could only sigh and said helplessly: "Since Your Majesty knows, why must you force me to do something?"
This is already a complaint.
Lu Tiaoyang was really afraid that he would say something wrong again.
Zhu Yijun shook his head: "Yuan Fu forced me to do something, and the two elders are not here, so I can only trust Lu Qing."
Having said that, he seemed to have lost interest.
Without waiting for Lu Tiaoyang's reply, he picked up his steps and continued walking forward.
Lu Tiaoyang looked at the emperor's helpless back, inexplicably at a loss.
He paused for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and followed him quickly.
He walked up to the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, Yuan Fu's move is to depose the Chief of Ceremonies! Block the two palaces! Even restrict your Majesty!"
"If it violates the way of being a minister, I will not tolerate it!"
Zhu Yijun then slowed down and waited for Lu Tiaoyang to catch up.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Tiaoyang, and said lonelyly: "Lu Qing, why does Yuan Fu treat me like this?"
Lu Tiaoyang was silent.
While the two were asking and answering, Zhang Hong trotted over from afar.
Zhang Hong came close and did not speak directly.
He only glanced at Lu Tiaoyang, asking Zhu Yijun with his eyes.
Zhu Yijun was displeased and said: "Lu Qing is a minister of Huigu. If you tell me to know, you also want to let Lu Qing know. Why bother to hide it and report it?"
Zhang Hong bowed in response and said: "Your Majesty, something happened just now at the Department of General Affairs."
"Feng Dajue's people went to pick up the memorial, but the Secretary of General Affairs said that the memorial had been taken away by the Chief of Ceremonies."
"The two parties started arguing."
After Zhu Yijun heard this, he took a deep breath to avoid showing emotion or anger.
He rubbed his eyebrows and seemed to have a headache.
But Lu Tiaoyang couldn't help it and asked directly: "Didn't Feng Daxuan go? Did the trouble come to fruition?"
Zhang Hong glanced at the emperor and saw that there was no objection, and felt confident.
He nodded to Lu Tiaoyang and replied: "Feng Dajue came back to the Li Supervisor for this matter, so naturally he asked about it."
"It was the eunuch on duty who took the memorial away."
Lu Tiaoyang was startled: "Where is the memorial?"
Zhu Yijun suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the two of them.
He looked confused and murmured: "The memorial...has it been sent to Ciqing Palace?"
Lu Tiaoyang reacted!
Shocked!
He suddenly looked at Zhang Hong, hoping to get an answer from him.
In Lu Tiaoyang's horrified eyes, Zhang Hong nodded slowly: "Yes, the eunuch at the hall has submitted the memorial to the Empress Dowager Chen."
Zhu Yijun nodded.
He closed his eyes and sighed.
When the clouds are lifted, the sun appears, and when the water falls, the rocks emerge.
So, everything makes sense.
Although he was half a step slow, he finally understood what Gao Gong relied on and what Gao Gong's plan was.
No wonder.
No wonder Gao Gong dared to present this "Five Urgent Matters of the New Deal".
No wonder he had a close relationship with Chen Hong. When Gao Gong impeached Feng Bao, Chen Hong would secretly deliver a memorial for him.
No wonder Gao Gong dared to refute Li's order without restraint.
No wonder Gao Gong dared to promise a position in Wang Chonggu's cabinet and did not care at all about the emperor's educational rights.
No wonder he had previously found that the relationship between the two palaces was not harmonious.
No wonder he went to see Empress Chen for the first time after traveling through time, but was rejected.
Everyone is an actor.
He suddenly understood why Li had such contradictory behavior in history.
If Gao Gong was thought to be dictatorial and wanted to be deposed, why would Zhang Juzheng be allowed to let it go?
She just drove Gao Gong away, and made Zhang Juzheng the chief assistant, in charge of the official department, the emperor's master, and granted the title of Zhuguo.
This is completely an advanced version of high arch, why can it be tolerated again?
Even if Feng Bao says good things, he should be more vigilant.
It turns out that the roots are here...
He suddenly made the connection. Historically, after Gao Gong was deposed, the first thing Zhang Juzheng did was to add the same titles to the two palaces, erasing the last weakness of Empress Dowager Li and making Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen equal.
He suddenly understood that Feng Bao had bullied Emperor Wanli in this way, which made the emperor angrily comment that he was "tying the emperor and cheating the country, and his crimes were serious." However, he was not executed. He was protected by the Li family and only rushed to Nanzhili to sleep.
Zhu Yijun originally forgot these details.
Now that I think about it, these details suddenly come to mind.
He even remembered that before Gao Gong was deposed, the "Five Urgent Matters of the New Deal", which he did not remember the content of, had clearly been passed!
The sentence "On the fourth day, I reported: I have read what Qing and others have done, and it is better than the New Deal. I have seen the loyalty, and we will all act according to the plan." lingers in front of my eyes, and I can't get rid of it.
Who passed it?
The Emperor and Empress Dowager Li were determined not to pass this memorial, so it goes without saying who else could it be.
Zhu Yijun finally became enlightened.
The fog of history is half hidden and half exposed.
Factual records cover up mistakes.
I really hid a big surprise for him!
After thinking everything through, he suddenly smiled. Who said that the chief minister was not good at maneuvering.
Zhu Yijun looked at Lu Tiaoyang: "Lu Qing, why don't you go back to the Ministry of Rites to have a look? If my guess is correct, Yuan Fu should be in the Ministry of Rites this morning."
Lu Tiaoyang was still in a daze.
Hearing this, he raised his head and said blankly: "What does your Majesty mean...?"
Zhu Yijun shook his head and did not answer.
Just standing on the roadside, waiting quietly.
Not long after.
Jiang Keqian appeared in the distance and ran all the way.
Zhu Yijun said to Lu Tiaoyang: "Lu Qing, I will make a bet with you. If Yuan Fu is in the Ministry of Rites this morning, you will join the cabinet to assist me in the implementation of the new policy. How about that?"
When Lu Tiaoyang heard this, he was confused.
When he was about to answer, he saw that the emperor didn't give him a chance to speak and walked towards Jiang Keqian.
Lu Tiaoyang's mind was still buzzing, and he subconsciously kept up.
As soon as he got closer, he heard the emperor say: "Is it about Yuan Fu?"
Jiang Keqian only had time to take a few deep breaths and said urgently: "Yuan Fu was at the Ministry of Rites this morning and decided on the titles of the two palaces!"
Lu Tiaoyang was shocked!
Combined with the fact that the memorial was taken away, I finally understood what it meant!
Holding the last bit of luck, he asked: "What titles have been agreed upon for the two palaces!?"
Jiang Keqian is a business man.
He couldn't remember these things, so he copied them on paper and kept them.
When asked, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it.
Lu Tiaoyang looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor waved his hand casually.
Only then did he take it carefully.
He scanned it once and murmured in silence: "The honorific titles of the two palaces are based on the old scriptures. Emperor Xianzong only respects his eldest mother, the empress, as the empress dowager Ciyi, and his biological mother, the imperial concubine, as the empress dowager."
"Today things are exactly the same. Therefore, I honor the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, as the Queen Mother of Rensheng."
"Honor the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager, as...the Empress Dowager."
After reading a sentence, he suddenly staggered two steps, his hands suddenly became weak, and he let the paper fall to the ground.
Zhang Hong, who was on the side, had sharp eyes and quickly supported Lu Tiaoyang.
Lu Tiaoyang came back to his senses, looked at the emperor, and said in a harsh voice: "My lord, return to the Ministry of Rites immediately! Stop the memorial from the Ministry of Rites!"
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Zhang Daban, send Lu Qing off for me."
He watched Lu Tiaoyang walk away.
He slowly leaned down and picked up the piece of paper.
He naturally knew in his heart that it was too late for Lu Tiaoyang to go back.
Gao Gong discussed five urgent matters at the court meeting, forcing them to deal with them.
Just to take advantage of Lu Tiaoyang's absence, he went to the Ministry of Rites to discuss with the ministers and wine ministers to decide on the titles of the two palaces.
Then he took advantage of the opportunity when he was the only one in charge of the cabinet to pass the draft vote.
At present, the memorial has probably been sent to Queen Mother Chen.
Don't look at the difference between two words.
This is status, this is righteousness, this is famous weapon.
The difference between two words makes the difference!
If these two words were to be put to rest, the Empress Dowager would have no room to fight back against the Empress Dowager Rensheng.
Gao Gong was supported by Empress Dowager Chen, and was almost a replica of Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng.
He even has to go one step further! Zhang Juzheng still has to look at Feng Bao’s face when he acts!
If Gao Gong really transferred the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to the cabinet, he would then use the descendants of Mrs. Chen to exercise imperial power.
Everyone will be suffocated by the high arch!
Zhu Yijun even doubted his identity as some kind of congenitally suppressed holy body.
If a minor emperor is not careful, he will be called unfilial.
My mother is okay, but here comes a wild queen who doesn’t have a single heart. How can she compete with Gao Gong?
High arch!
What a high arch!
The heroes of this world are really like the crucian carp crossing the river!
Zhu Yijun put the paper in his arms and wrote down the lesson - the half-coverage in the history books finally made him suffer.
He looked at Jiang Keqian: "Go and ask Chen Fuxing to come to Qianqing Palace to see me tonight."
"I'm going to meet the future 'Empress Dowager Rensheng' first."
Gao Gong's antelope horns certainly amazed him.
But he did not forget that Gao Gong was deposed in the end of history.
This round is not over yet!
Note 1: On Ding Mao in the sixth month of the sixth year of Longqing, Gao Gong, a great scholar, wrote about the five urgent matters of the New Deal... On the fourth day, he reported: "Lan Qing and others have reported that they are more comprehensive than the New Deal, and they are all loyal and based on them." OK.——"Records of Ming Shenzong"
Note 2: In the seventh month of the sixth year of Longqing, Jia Shenshuo, the great scholar Zhang Juzhengyan, the meeting of the Ministry of Etiquette, the two palace titles... Today, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine, the Queen Mother, have infinite kindness and virtue, so why should there be any difference in the courtesy of respect? .——"Records of Ming Shenzong"
