Chapter 2205 New situation
In the capital, there is still a strange scene here, as if there is a slight accident, the situation will change.
While Lin Pingchang and Wu Daoxing and others were doing their best to go to Tongzhou to be the emperor's legitimate son, there was an undercurrent in the capital, and all parties were secretly competing.
In the morning, an eunuch hurriedly left the Imperial Hospital. After passing through the numerous palace gates of the Forbidden City, he presented a secret copy to Longqing who was drinking and looking for pleasure.
After seeing this secret copy, Longqing changed his past style of being lazy and indifferent to politics, and immediately ordered Chen Hong to personally send this secret copy to Wenyuan Pavilion.
This secret copy from leaving the Imperial Hospital was in Xu Jie's hands. Xu Jie seemed overjoyed, and then pretended to call Zhang Juzheng, Minister of Rites, and Pan Sheng, left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, to discuss the matter.
After Zhang Juzheng and Pan Sheng left the Chief Supervisor's Office, the former had a smug smile on his face, while the latter had a look of frustration.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and Xu Jie intends to spread this matter, which has caused an uproar in the entire government and the country.
The latest news came: After being diagnosed by Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan of the Imperial Hospital, Queen Chen was frail and sickly all year round and had a medical record of miscarriage, she could no longer have children.
As soon as this news came out, it undoubtedly directly affected the direction of the court and also determined the ownership of the crown prince.
The biggest obstacle to the title of the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun is undoubtedly the legitimate prince. Once it is confirmed that the legitimate prince will not appear, then naturally the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun should be named the crown prince.
"The lesson from the Former Qin Dynasty is indispensable. We should support the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince!"
"The crown prince is the foundation of the country. How can our ministers not support the eldest son as the crown prince?"
"Geor Xu's move is really a conspiracy in the country. He is not as short-sighted as some people, and he doesn't know how to make some changes!"
...
After learning the news, many officials in the capital changed their course, but agreed to support the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Yijun, as the crown prince, and were already standing on the other side of the Xu stairs.
Following the arguments a few days ago, Xu Jie is no longer a treacherous minister who "spoken the emperor and invites favor", but a virtuous prime minister who is a mature country.
It is precisely because of this "Crown Prince dispute" that had just ignited a little. As the Imperial Hospital put forward this diagnosis conclusion, the balance of victory immediately leaned towards Xu Dang.
The Qingliu official, led by Pan Sheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was very disappointed with this result. He thought he could embark on a different orthodox road, but he never expected that the current queen could no longer have children.
As the sun sets, the entire capital is covered with gold, and this magnificent Forbidden City looks even more dazzling.
Lin Weiran, wearing a python robe, handled the affairs at hand. Now he has integrated into this era, and his face looks uneven and powerful. He is walking along the palace road towards the palace gate.
In the palace road, he heard the two servants walking in front of him talking, and actually wanted to submit a memorial to support the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun as the crown prince.
It has to be said that there are many good officials in the Ming Dynasty who can uphold ethics, but there are also many political speculators who change their political positions by following the situation in the North Korea.
Lin Qingran naturally knew the diagnosis results presented by the Imperial Hospital today, but this result had little impact on his career.
After all, he did not want to support the emperor's legitimate son from beginning to end, nor did he clearly oppose the canonization of the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince, just to make the process of establishing the crown prince appear more rigorous.
But putting aside the political struggle factors in this matter, he felt that it was not a good time or a suitable way to enthrone the crown prince Zhu Yijun as the crown prince now.
Although Longqing was a short-lived emperor, he was now in a good state and was a young man, so he didn't have to rush to enthrone the eldest son as the crown prince.
The most important thing is that according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty continuing the throne, the best candidate is always the emperor's legitimate son, and the son born by the queen is the true "orthodox".
Nowadays, Empress Chen is in the golden period of childbirth, but Longqing directly ignores Empress Chen's existence. Directly enthroning the crown prince is undoubtedly a disrespect to Empress Chen.
Even if Long Qing loves the eldest son Zhu Yijun so much, he shouldn't have been crowned with the crown prince at this time. At least in a few years, he will not be crowned with his health.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with him. A minister, he has no right to accuse the emperor of his faults.
However, after this diagnosis from the Imperial Hospital, Xu Jie must use the diagnosis results of the Imperial Hospital to promote the enthronement of the crown prince, and Long Qing may choose to agree to Xu Jie's request.
Lin Xuran thought of what he did during his reign, but was not much better than Jiajing, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Many times, it is so helpless. The rise and fall of the Chinese nation depends largely on the character and ability of a certain person.
Obviously, although Wanli has the intelligence of his grandfather Jiajing, he also inherits Jiajing's selfishness and ruthlessness. Not only can he not bring blessings to the people of the world, let alone lead the rise of the Chinese nation.
That's right, although it is known that it is the general trend to enthrone the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun as the crown prince, deep down he is eager for this matter to be variable.
"Uncle Nineteen, I have sent someone to investigate the Imperial Hospital just now, but there is no news yet!" Lin Fu also reported softly when he pulled open the curtain.
Lin Weiran nodded softly, but asked seriously: "Have I asked you to inform the United Hospital to send someone to Beijing immediately?"
"Uncle Nineteen, I have passed on this matter back. I believe they will send someone to the capital as soon as possible!" Lin Fu nodded solemnly, looking more optimistic.
Seeing that there was no mistake in the matter, Lin Xunran got into the sedan directly.
This is a court of intrigue after all. Although the Imperial Hospital has high credibility and especially the matter is so important, he also has to prevent and verify the diagnosis.
As for asking the United Hospital to send experts to Beijing, it is to facilitate him to determine Queen Chen's condition, and to increase the possibility of the emperor's legitimate son through medical means.
After all, he hoped that the next emperor would be a younger emperor's son, rather than the ruthless Wanli.
When Lin Fu saw Lin Weiran enter the sedan chair, he asked the sedan chairman to get the sedan chair and then led the guard to guard the surroundings.
Although the capital city is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, it is only in the south of the city that not everyone can easily enter this area, so there have been few public security incidents here, let alone assassins.
When they returned home, before Lin Qingran had time to say hello to Wu Qiuyu, they unexpectedly saw Lin Pingchang, Wu Daoxing and others who happened to be back in turmoil.
When Lin Ping often saw his brother, although he took the initiative to say hello to Lin Qingran, a depressed expression appeared on his fleshy face.
When Lin Weiran saw his sister, the connoisseur, he knew that there was no collection of his trip to Tongzhou, and he was not in a hurry to say something. He said gently: "I have worked hard to let you go this trip, let's have a meal first!"
"Okay!" Lin Pingchang saw that his brother had no intention of blaming him, so he nodded excitedly and said.
Wu Daoxing seemed to have returned to his home, but he did not plan to go to the dining room, but went straight to the Lin family's kitchen. Soon, he sat at the kitchen door with a roast chicken and a jar of good wine.
Then he started eating beautifully.
But no matter how many people he is sought after or respected by many people, the happiest time he makes him the most happy every day is eating roast chicken and drinking fine wine.
During the meal, Lin Qingran learned about the trip to Tongzhou from his sister, and then he invited Wu Daoxing to the study to discuss matters.
Wu Daoxing knew that this matter was extraordinary, so he immediately said another method seriously, and then said seriously: "Once the Chen family's ancestral tomb is changed, it can certainly help Jin Feng give birth to a child, but someone will bear the disaster.
. Judging from the current situation, Chen's family will bear the best disaster, but Gu'anbo is unlikely to accept such a great sacrifice!”
Lin Pingchang's heart was undoubtedly aimed at Empress Chen, but he was just thinking about wanting the Chen family to have children. I'm afraid that few people would be willing to bear this consequence, but he looked at his brother helplessly.
"Gu'an Bo cannot accept this plan. Now there is only the last solution!" Lin Xuran turned his head and said seriously to Lin Pingchang: "You will come to the palace with your sister-in-law tomorrow to meet Empress Chen,
Tell her what happened, and then tell him the last aspect, let’s see what Queen Chen means!”
Lin Pingchang's brows frowned slightly and said in disapproval: "Brother, the Queen should not agree to the second plan, so what should we do?"
"If she really disagrees, then with the current situation, she might really accept the title of the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince!" Lin Junran said helplessly when facing this assumption.
If Empress Chen could give birth to the emperor's legitimate son, he would naturally be able to win the throne of the crown prince for the emperor's legitimate son. However, if even the emperor's legitimate son does not exist, then what is the point of preventing him from enthroning the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince? Naturally, he would take a step back and broaden the sky.
When Lin usually heard this answer, he didn't accept the result, but his eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
"You can persuade me, maybe the queen will agree!" Wu Daoxing knew that the current breaking life was the queen giving birth to the emperor's legitimate son, so he advised Lin Pingchang.
Lin usually saw that there was only one last path. Although she was not optimistic that the Queen would accept this plan, she still nodded solemnly.
As night falls, the entire capital is shrouded in night.
The lantern in front of the Lin Mansion was lit. At this time, the middle door was wide open. A sedan chair was lifted from the middle door, and then the sedan chair slowly fell into the front yard.
A group of old men walked out of the sedan chair, all of whom looked quite Confucian. They looked at Lin Weiran who was coming in and saluted respectfully.
"Sir, it's cold here, please go to the warm room to talk!" Lin Qingran greeted the officials who were coming and going, and invited with a smile.
In addition to the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Pan Sheng and Lin Feng, there were also the left minister of the Ministry of Works, Tan Dachu, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, Hong Chaoxuan, the Minister of Taichang Temple, Chen Shaoru, the Minister of Imperial College, Wan Shihe, the Minister of the Imperial College, Xiao Lan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, etc.
Although his official positions are not high, he has a strong reputation and appeal.
The people who come have high qualifications, but their official positions cannot be compared with Lin Junran, and they also abide by the superiority and inferiority of the officialdom: "Gemaster Lin, please ask first!"
After this battle between the prime minister, Lin Weiran has become the backbone of all officials.
They originally wanted to bet the funds on the emperor's legitimate son, but they didn't expect that the situation suddenly changed so quickly, but their opponents did not intend to give them this hope.
That's right, as soon as they decided to come together to find Lin Weiran.
Lin Qingran led the officials to the warm-up hall, and was also thinking about their purpose in his heart, so he sat down with the guest of honor and ordered Lin Fu to come to tea.
"Gemaster Lin, there must be something strange about the queen's inability to give birth!" Lin Feng took a sip of tea and immediately made it straight to the point.
Lin Xuran also guessed their purpose. Now when he heard Lin Feng's questioning, he knew that they knew that these people were unwilling to accept the title of the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince.
But he didn't know whether Lin Feng had already obtained the evidence or just his unreasonable speculation, so he asked quietly: "Mr. Lin, but I don't know if there is any basis?"
Tan Dachu knew that Lin Xuran was more serious than the old guys, so he turned his head and looked at Lin Xun curiously.
But before Lin Xuan could speak, Hong Chaoxuan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, said: "According to my knowledge, Xu Kun found Zhang Yuanzheng and Li Yuan to judge last night. It must be Xu Kun's coercion or temptation of the two.
Caused!"
"Those who say they are imperial physicians, but no one can show off their skills, are involved in the ugly atmosphere of the officialdom! In my opinion, they must have received great benefits, so they framed the queen so much!" Lin Feng
He had the most resentment, and he immediately made a speculation.
Lin Qingran picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a wry smile on his face.
After Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he divided the people of the world into different household registrations, including civilian households, military households, craftsmen, music households, etc. Each of them has their own exclusive work household registration.
The imperial physician is similar to hereditary nobles or military positions, but he divides household registration, while the imperial physician is a hereditary system. However, no matter what medical skills are, if your ancestors are imperial physicians, then your father is imperial physician, and you will also become an imperial physician.
However, these imperial physicians face only a handful of patients in their lifetime, but they do not have too much clinical experience. They mainly rely on their own medical books to pass on. Their medical skills are far behind those of famous folk doctors.
Li Shizhen, who was born in a folk medical family, went to the Imperial Hospital. Although he had superb medical skills, he did not have much use and was excluded by bureaucracy everywhere. However, he left the Imperial Hospital in anger.
Now the officialdom of the Imperial Hospital is prevalent, and incompetent people are in power, and those who are capable are brutally excluded. If they misdiagnose or deliberately misdiagnose Queen Chen, this is not an unimaginable thing.
Lin Xuran knew that there must be something wrong with Queen Chen's affairs, but he pointed to the core: "If you all have this opinion, we will naturally have to fight for it! But everything has to be proved, but it is impossible to make it because of our guesses.
If you can do this, I need evidence of Zhang Yuanzheng or Li Yuan’s bribery or forced!”
this……
Lin Xuan was stunned when he heard that he wanted to show his real evidence. Although he inferred this way and thought so, he had no evidence in his hand.
Lin Xuran saw Lin Xuan's reaction and said seriously: "If we really want to fight for justice for Queen Chen, we should try our best to collect relevant evidence so that we have a chance of winning!"
