In Huangji Palace, officials have become some kind of contract, but they are ringing one after another.

"Your Majesty, the nursery rhyme is not a fabrication. I have heard it at the beginning of last month! Now God has given a warning. I think it is not necessary to be too hasty to make the appointment of a crown prince!"

"Your Majesty, I have also learned about the nursery rhymes in the middle of last month. I have proved this matter with great authority! Now God has given a warning, so I would like to ask the emperor to think twice before doing it!"

"Your Majesty, although I have not heard of the nursery rhymes, I believe that I will not make up the matter. Now God warns me that even if I die, I will not let the ceremony of the East Palace be held."

...

Officials such as Lin Xuan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, looked bright in their eyes, but followed Lin Qingran and Pan Sheng to express their attitude to Longqing.

There was already controversy about the enthronement of the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun as the crown prince. Now that there is a nursery rhyme that "matches" with reality, how can they continue to "swallow their anger"?

However, some officials actually just learned about the nursery rhyme, but they showed a scoundrel face, which caused many Xu Party officials to look at each other.

Longqing couldn't help but swallow and spit in secret when facing the passionate petition of all officials, but never expected such a change to happen at the end.

At this moment, he vaguely regretted not receiving the memorial presented by Lin Weiran as soon as possible, making himself feel like he was alone in the endless waves.

"Your Majesty, the matter of nursery rhymes is not a trivial matter. I have already explained it in detail in the memorial. Please read it!" Lin Weiran's position did not change and he asked for his orders again.

The officials in the hall were already following Lin Shiran's lead, but did not stand up and express their opinions. Instead, they looked at Longqing sitting on the dragon throne in unison.

Longqing found out that Lin Qiran knew how to advance and retreat, and did not force himself to stop the ceremony of enthroning the Eastern Palace like other officials. Instead, he adopted this more tactful way of submitting memorials, which was to prepare to take the memorial.

"This time, someone used nursery rhymes to slander the reputation of the emperor's eldest son. Since you were ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you did not pursue who the rumor-monger was, but attacked the emperor's eldest son. This was not done by the ministers!" Xu Jie knew that he had no turning back at the bow, but once again threw out conspiracy theories to accuse the nursery rhymes.

Huh?

When he heard Xu Jie's remarks, the officials in the hall were stunned.

Although there are many ways to fight openly and secretly in this court, some people use nursery rhymes to pour dirty water on their political enemies, this time the nursery rhymes are different from the past, which is why many officials interpret it as "the will of God".

"Old Master Xu, the third emperor of March, can anyone know if he is not sure?"

"Ge Lao Xu, this time we are not attacking the eldest son of the emperor, but to make a long-term plan for the establishment of the crown prince!"

"Old Master Xu, although rumors stop at the wise man, this nursery rhyme is not a rumor, but a warning from God, don't be that Li Si!"

...

Facing Xu Jie's openly singing on stage, not only did he fail to shock the officials in the hall, but he was frantically counterattacked by the officials and chose to confront Xu Jie with tit-for-tat.

Not to mention that Xu Jie has become a royal protector, just because he just ignored etiquette and law and supported the eldest son of the emperor, Xu Jie has become their enemy.

Now facing Xu Jie's criticism and openly ignore the "God's warning" in the nursery rhymes, they do not intend to swallow their anger, but instead want to compete with Yi Yi, the cabinet chief assistant who has become the royal guardian.

After all, justice is invincible. This evil chief minister has simply destroyed himself and is already the biggest enemy of their civil servant group.

Facing the retaliation of many officials, Xu Jie immediately responded with a deep face: "March Three Emperors, this is probably just a coincidence, but it cannot prove anything! Just based on an unreasonable speculation, or the person who is interested happened to hit the date and guessed that it was the prince, he called the ceremony of the Eastern Palace to stop the enthronement of the Eastern Palace. The first person in the Pavilion disagrees! Now the auspicious time has come, and the most urgent task is to hold the ceremony of the Eastern Palace. You can return to your position quickly!"

When things came to this point, he still hoped to cut the mess with a quick knife. Once the ceremony of enthronement in the Eastern Palace was held, the raw rice would be cooked and everything would be settled.

Huh?

Many angry officials originally wanted to continue attacking Xu Jie together, but found that what Xu Jie said was not completely unreasonable, and nursery rhymes might also be a coincidence.

"The emperor, I dare not believe it easily, so when I learned yesterday that the second son of the emperor came to the world, I began to pay attention to this widely circulated nursery rhyme. In the nursery rhyme, "There is a real dragon in the world, and the clouds can be seen at the end of the day." I and my colleagues such as Guo Ge Lao checked the diagnosis of the queen in the Imperial Hospital. Now I have a look. Please check it out!" Lin Qingran looked at Xu Jie, who had transformed into an envoy of justice, and then held up the memorial in his hand again and said.

Huh?

When Xu Jie heard this argument, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He suddenly discovered that Lin Weiran was not seeking death, but was clearly prepared. He had already secretly started to re-invest the verdict of Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan of the Imperial Hospital.

But I was not too nervous. After all, in less than a day, I didn’t believe that Lin Qingran had a way to pry open the mouths of Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuanzheng.

However, Zou Yinglong did not have Xu Jie's concentration, and his heart was immediately cold. He looked up at the memorial in Lin Qiran's hand worriedly, and felt the end of the world coming.

Long Qing realized that Lin Qiran's memorial was not aimless, and the current situation also forced him to accept Lin Qiran's memorial, and immediately nodded to Chen Hong next to him.

Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of Rites, saw the hourglass passing by minute by minute. Although he was already anxious, he knew that the ceremony of the Eastern Palace might change.

Chen Hong walked down to take the memorial with understanding, and exchanged a glance with Lin Qingran, and respectfully submitted the memorial to Longqing.

"The emperor, after being convicted by Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan, both of them were forced and tempted to make diagnosis results that were inconsistent with the matter, but the queen was still able to give birth! There is a warning from the top and a villain below. Please suspend the ceremony of the Eastern Palace to be enthroned by the eldest son of the emperor today. This matter is related to the original state of the Ming Dynasty, so please be careful!" Lin Qingran also openly made his request when reading the memorial.

this……

Li Chunfang saw all this. Although he had already guessed that Lin Qian would stop the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun, he never expected that the methods were so clever.

Combining this natural nursery rhyme and shaking out the confessions of Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuanzheng, then we can naturally justify the ceremony of enthroning the East Palace.

But I have to admit that Lin Xu Ran was indeed a monster. When Xu Jie thought there was an opportunity, he didn't know that Lin Xu Ran had already set up a net of heaven and earth.

Zou Yinglong's eyes lit up slightly, but he jumped out and questioned: "No, this is impossible! Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuanzheng were drinking with me last night. How could they confess? It was clear that you were inverting right and wrong!"

This is not a lie, but it is because he is worried that Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuanzheng will betray him. Yesterday, he went to the yamen to make an appointment with two people to go to the brothel to have a drink of flowers.

But now, it is said that Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan had already admitted it, but how could he believe it? Therefore, he has reason to believe that this is perjury made by Lin Weiran.

"Mr. Zou, when Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan convicted, I and several adults were present, and there were also signs and seals from both of them as evidence. This matter was already as ironclad as a mountain!" Ma Sen turned his head and looked at Zou Yinglong, and said lightly.

When Zou Yinglong heard this explanation, he shook his head unbelievably and said, "No, it's impossible! Even if they really confess, they will not admit it at the same time. This is either perjury or you abuse the punishment and make a mistake!"

"Emperor, due to the urgency of time, in order to make the truth surface as soon as possible, I have specially promised Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan that whoever confessed first would save me from death, so I asked Li Yuan to forgive me for being sentenced to death!" Lin Weiran ignored Zou Yinglong's surprise and doubts, but continued to petition.

Thanks to the inducement tricks known to later generations, he deliberately interrogated the two people separately last night and deliberately gave them a surviving place.

That's why he didn't punish the two people at all. As a result, Li Yuan was sentenced to be called on the spot, and Zhang Yuanzheng soon confessed to Lin Weiran.

Longqing had seen the confession of Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan, and couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart, but he knew that the Imperial Hospital was indeed a fraud.

Even though his brain was not good, it was too coincidental that Empress Chen could not have children, so he had always been suspicious.

But he was happy to see his eldest son being crowned the crown prince and inheriting his throne in the future, so he was happy to see this happening.

But now Lin Xuran and his officials put the evidence in front of him. Even though he was still eager to confer the eldest son as the crown prince in his heart, he still knew that he needed to give a clear statement.

Faced with Lin Xuran's request, Long Qing also agreed happily: "Since Master Lin has promised Yuan Chen, then I will ask for it from Lin Aiqing!"

When things came to this point, his heart was also shaken.

Although he wanted to enthrone the eldest son of the emperor from the bottom of his heart, the fraud of the Imperial Hospital has been revealed, but he felt the terror of the resistance of all officials like never before.

Even though he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had to admit the fact that he was far from the talent of his father, and he was unable to control these senior officials who could stand here through the law of survival of the fittest.

"Your Majesty, the matters of the Imperial Hospital should be investigated by the Department of the Ministry of Justice, but he cannot ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty. He allowed Master Lin to lynch his sentence. Today, the crown prince can be established and the four poles are in power. Now the ceremony of enthronement of the Eastern Palace is ready. The auspicious time has come. Please read the edict!" Xu Jie seized the flaws of Lin Junran's private trial and took the opportunity to ask Longqing.

this……

Zhang Juzheng thought that the ceremony of enthroning the Eastern Palace ended here, but when he heard his teacher upholding the petition and read the edict, he couldn't help but secretly swallowed.

The officials in the hall looked at Xu Jie one after another, but they did not expect that Xu Jie chose to take a different approach again, and he wanted to continue to intensify the conflict between the two sides' establishment of the crown prince.

"Father!" Zhu Yijun already understood the importance of the throne. When he found that Long Qing looked towards him, he immediately seemed pitiful.

Long Qing was undoubtedly one hundred people willing to pass the throne to this eldest son, so he avoided the gaze of Lin Junran and others, and responded with a straightforward heart: "Xu Aiqing, please announce the edict!"

ah?

Officials such as Chen Yiqin stared at him in disbelief, but they did not expect that things would suddenly change again. The "reverse" of the prime minister Xu Jie actually received the support of the emperor.

Xu Jie received Long Qing's order and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. At the same time, he opened the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and said aloud to the officials in the hall: "All officials listen to the order!"

Although there was a nursery rhyme with "God's warning" in the capital, and Lin Qingran revealed evidence of fraud in the Imperial Hospital, the emperor finally had the final say in the court.

this……

Zhu Heng and other officials looked at the memorial submitted by Lin Weiran, plus the confessions of Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan of the Imperial Hospital, and thought that the ceremony of enthroning the Eastern Palace would stop.

But they never expected that Xu Jie and Long Qing would forcefully promote the ceremony of promoting the East Palace. This was clearly the emperor and the prime minister played hooligan together.

Lin Qingran was also slightly stunned, but he did not expect Xu Jie to completely turn back to the flatterer of the Jiajing period, nor did he expect Longqing to love the eldest son so much.

Xu Jie saw the reactions of the officials, but he knew that if he wanted to turn defeat into victory this time, he could only go all out and forcibly pass the barrier. He shook the majesty of the chief minister and said loudly again: "All officials follow the order!"

Lin Weiran ignored Xu Jie and looked at Long Qing on the dragon throne, but Long Qing was guilty and deliberately coughing there to cover up trying to escape.

The officials in the hall looked at me and I looked at you. When an official knelt down and paid attention to receiving the order, the officials next to him also knelt down reluctantly.

After all, many officials in this court are changing their minds. Now Xu Jie is holding an imperial edict, and Long Qing also shows that he is willing to be the eldest son of the emperor, so he naturally cannot resist the imperial edict.

"clever!"

Wang Bengu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was a member of the Shanxi Gang, but he saw the battle in his eyes, but secretly gave Xu Jie a thumbs up, and knelt down to welcome the edict as an example.

Lin Junran was about to speak, but suddenly a fury came from behind him: "Traitor, you and Yan Song were just colluding with each other in the past, but today they will cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty. Even if I can't use this black hat, I will tear you up with my own hands and take my life!"

Huh?

Many officials who were preparing to welcome the crown prince's edict cheered up and looked at the angry left minister of the Ministry of Rites Pan Sheng, but they did not expect Pan Sheng to attack Xu Jie again.

But Pan Sheng rushed towards Xu Jie in the hall. Given the loss of not knowing how to punch last time, he directly reached out to grab Xu Jie's hair and beard and pulled hard.

In just a blink of an eye, Pan Sheng had already rushed to Xu Jie holding the imperial edict, grabbed Xu Jie's head with one hand and Xu Jie's beard with the other.

this……

When the officials in the hall saw Pan Sheng grabbing a beard from Xu Jie's face, and then saw Xu Jie's painful look of grinning, many officials did not sympathize with the prime minister of the dynasty who was still holding the imperial edict, a feeling of excitement surged in their hearts.

To govern the country, you have no talent to govern the country, you have tolerate people but not tolerate people. You can only understand conspiracies and curry favor with the emperor. Such a prime minister will be a pity to die.
