The news of the emperor's important person compiling the "Wenhua Baojian" was only revealed a little bit by Master Xie to others. Some people pretended to be mysterious and spread it everywhere. By dusk, everyone in Nanjing's civil and military officials knew about it.
.
In a hurry, Zhu Gaoxu only called Chen Ying to discuss countermeasures.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw Chen Ying, he said worriedly: "This is not good. When the emperor revised the book of prince, he appointed Yang Xu, Xie Jin and Dao Yan. Two of these three people are his best friends, and Dao Yan is also a bald donkey."
The exchange with that damn fat man was quite friendly, it seems that the father still pays attention to him!"
Chen Ying smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. It is unusual for the Emperor to waver. You must know that although the eldest prince is not as outstanding as your Highness in terms of merit and martial arts, he is the eldest son of the Emperor after all. This tradition is his greatest talisman.
No one can shake him easily. His Highness can win the support of so many courtiers and can make the Emperor change his mind five times and three times, which shows that His Highness is popular among the people."
Chen Ying comforted Zhu Gaoxu with a few words, then twirled his beard and pondered, and said slowly: "Don't be busy. Yang Xu has just returned to Beijing and is not familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China. He needs some time to find out the strength and trends of both the enemy and us.
.After these two years of hard work, the eldest prince can only stick to the orthodoxy, and is far less active than your highness in fighting for it. You have won over half of the civil and military affairs of the DPRK and China.
Yang Xu made a fool of himself and went to Liaodong, thinking that if he came back with another meritorious service, he would be the icing on the cake for the eldest prince. Little did he know that Liaodong was actually a quagmire, and it was difficult to get out of the trip, which lasted for three years.
Now, Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu, who are slightly inclined to the eldest prince, have already gone to Annan, and Yang Xu has just returned to Beijing. There will be no big moves for a while. Since we already know this, we can calmly plan and wait for them to adjust.
The troops have been dispatched and the generals have been deployed. Didn't An Zhi make a wedding dress for His Highness?"
Zhu Gaoxu originally relied on Qiu Fu and other generals, but these generals had no problem charging into battle, but they were really not good at making them scheming with others. In order to attack the eldest prince's faction, he was seriously injured. Qiu Fu was demoted to Beijing. He also had some problems.
After losing the favor of his father, fortunately, he followed Chen Ying's plan more and more, and gradually reversed the decline, and had the upper hand. Therefore, he had long regarded Chen Ying as his number one think tank. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said with great joy: "Sir, you have a clever plan."
?”
Chen Ying smiled slightly and whispered a few words to him. After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded repeatedly and praised: "Brilliant plan! If Yang Xu wants to arrange it properly, it will take half a month at the fastest. If he wants to recruit more people for his use,
If we build up his momentum, it will take longer. We can take the lead and mobilize all our strength to have a huge battle to establish the throne!"
When Zhu Gaoxu said this, he smiled coldly, with a ferocious look on his face: "Now that my father has become the emperor, he has more concerns than when he was just a vassal king in the past. There are more things that need to be considered, so many civil and military actions.
If this king forces the throne, will my father not be worried about the recurrence of the disaster of Jingnan? I helped my father win this throne, and I will decide it!"
Early the next morning, the emperor went to court early. Xia Xun got up early, packed everything, and went to court in high spirits.
Civil servants in the Ming Dynasty had relatively few holidays, and they were far less leisurely than civil servants in the Song Dynasty. They had at least one-third of the public holidays a year. However, Xia Xun had been in Liaodong for so long that he accumulated a lot of holidays.
Besides, he is the Duke of the country and is not a permanent official in the government, so he can rest for a longer period of time. There is no need to go to the court to participate in politics so quickly, so his appearance is quite eye-catching.
In particular, the fact that the emperor ordered Duke Fu to preside over the compilation of the "Wenhua Baojian" had spread yesterday afternoon, and his appearance was even more noticeable. After a while, even Master Daoyan, who rarely appeared in the court, showed up.
His grand appearance attracted the attention of all the civil and military officials. These two men were very important ministers in front of the emperor, and many civil and military officials came forward to pay their respects and say a few words of greeting.
Even people from the Second Prince Zhu Gaoxu's camp would not pretend to be absent when they met these two people. However, when they came forward to greet them, Dao Yan and Xia Xun just returned the greeting with a smile and a calm demeanor without saying anything extra.
They gathered in groups and discussed privately, and the most reasonable guess they made was that the two of them went to the palace to meet the emperor for the purpose of compiling the "Wenhua Baojian".
Establishing a crown prince is such a solemn and solemn matter, especially when there is a strong competitor, who would act so rashly?
This has always been the case in the officialdom. Unless there is absolute certainty, the big bosses will not act rashly. If they want to test the situation, they can at most send an insignificant little shrimp to jump out and test it. This way, they can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and avoid being trapped.
Passive, as for the little pawn thrown out, even the opponent didn't bother to deal with him. Everyone knew that he was just a little pawn. To go to war with a little pawn would make him appear to have no confidence.
Therefore, no one expected that Xia Xun would seriously propose to establish the throne today, not even the many officials from the eldest prince's faction who had not received the news knew about it.
The crimson rooster announces the dawn, and goes into the green clouds while still wearing his clothes. The nine heavens close the palace, and all the nations wear their hats and worship them.
The fairy palms are moving just before the sun sets, and the cigarette smoke is about to float next to the dragon. After the court is over, the five-color edict must be cut, and the sound of the sword is returned to the head of Fengchi.
The Jingyang bell rang, hundreds of officials lined up, and the morning court began...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Your Majesty, from ancient times to modern times, you have never failed to establish a crown prince and guard the throne. The East Palace has been empty for a long time, and everyone at home and abroad is worried about it. Everything in the world has its roots. The country values weapons, and it is more important than ever.
The foundation should be established as early as possible to stabilize China and foreign countries, the world, and the people's hearts! The prince, the crown prince of the country, is the foundation of the country. The foundation of the country cannot be established at all, and the country's foundation is uneasy. Therefore, I, Yang Xu, petition the Holy One to establish a prince!"
In the early morning court, according to the rules, we still met with foreign ministers and court officials who came to Beijing first. This was just a formality. There were so many foreign envoys and court officials coming and going. After the formality was over, Xia
Xun raised the energy in his Dantian and shouted loudly: "I have this note!" He said this in a jab.
Xia Xun's words were not very smooth. He read some books last night and made a few words. These words were memorized by heart, and he said them in a very mellow and impassioned way.
After Xia Xun said these words, the entire Jinluan Palace was completely silent.
Not to mention that the ministers were surprised, even the emperor was shocked. Zhu Di originally estimated that Xia Xun would need three to five days at the earliest to communicate with some capable officials and discuss the advance and retreat before taking action. He did not expect that he would act like this
It's wild and unconventional.
Chen Ying was also stunned. He was an official who had been promoted step by step. With his inherent official thinking, he would not have expected Xia Xun to be so reckless. This was Xia Xun's unreasonable method of beating the old master to death with random punches.
It really caught him off guard.
However, Chen Ying was very experienced after all. She hurriedly scanned around and found that many officials from the First Prince's faction were also quite shocked. She knew that Xia Xun's move had probably not been discussed with a few people at all, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.
One burst of momentum, two bursts, and three bursts. Xia Xun was so abrupt, which certainly had the effect of gaining a head start. Unfortunately, he was too impatient and did not discuss it with a few people. If he could take this opportunity to stop him, his arrogance would be over.
After being suppressed, the next time he wanted to initiate this matter, his momentum would be a little weaker. Chen Ying made a quick calculation in her heart and was about to leave work if she moved her feet.
But Chen Ying only moved one step. She was about to compete with Xia Xun to see who was louder. A figure flashed beside her, and an old monk stood in the center of the hall. He was dressed in black monk's robes, only wearing a black robe.
There were two lines of gold embroidered on the sleeves and collar, which were the symbols given to monks by the emperor. He calmly walked to that station, placed one hand on his chest, and said solemnly: "
I second the proposal. Building a crown prince is the best plan for the ancestral temple. I am not talented at all, but I have been favored by him. Now I have been entrusted by the Holy One to compile the "Wenhua Baojian" to give to the prince of the country. The emperor's grace is so great that it cannot be ignored.
If you dare to be silent, how dare you not think about the king's thoughts and worry about the country's worries? Therefore, I agree with what Duke Fu said, please Your Majesty, establish a prince!"
Chen Ying stepped out of the train with one foot, opened her mouth halfway, and was about to cry without tears: "Is there anyone who does this? Is there anyone who does this? In order to fight to speak in the Golden Palace, he even used martial arts.
Isn’t this bullying? Is there any royal law?”
Although Daoyan was a monk, he was a monk official. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Senglu Division and a Daolu Division, which were in charge of both monks and Taoism in the world. Daoyan was Zuo Shanshi, the Senglu Division, and was the chief leader of monks and nuns in the world. He belonged to the imperial court.
I am an official, so when I see you in the palace, I want to be your minister.
Jie Jin didn't know how to lighten his body, but he knew how to seize the opportunity. Before Master Daoyan's last words were spoken, he took a step forward. He was the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet and stood at the head of the literary class.
It was convenient to go forward and speak. As he walked, he said: "I second the proposal! In ancient times, the father has the world, and it should be passed down to the eldest son. Now the emperor's eldest son has pure qualifications, which is enough for the clan to trust him. I invite your majesty to appoint the emperor's eldest son as the eldest son.
Prince!"
Three consecutive artillery blasts made the civil and military officials in the court dizzy. Only then did they realize that the eldest prince had changed his tactics. The Duke, the Imperial Advisor, and the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, these three top figures, left aside thousands of troops and horses, and
Shirtless!
"I second the proposal!"
"I object!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I object!"
The Golden Palace immediately became a mess, and officials from the two factions who had just reacted quickly stood up to express their attitude.
Xia Xun, Dao Yan, and Xie Jin made a clear stance: "We want to establish a crown prince, we want to establish an eldest prince!"
As soon as this big flag was erected, the officials of the eldest prince's faction immediately responded, while the officials of the second prince's faction were in chaos. They also objected loudly, but the opposition voices were not unified. Some shouted
: "Your Majesty is at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the matter of establishing a crown prince will be a long time coming. For such a big event, you should be cautious and don't rush it." Some people shouted: "The second prince has great martial arts skills and looks like your majesty. I thought that the establishment of a crown prince should be the second prince!"
Because the opinions were not unified in advance, and leading figures like Chen Ying had no time to express their attitudes clearly, the Second Prince's faction was eager to deny the opinions of their opponents, and they all spoke out and held their own opinions, which in turn weakened their own momentum.
Seeing the chaos in the court once again, Boss Zhu Di was displeased and immediately frowned.
Seeing this, Xia Xun immediately took a step forward and bowed to Zhu Di first. Huo Di turned around, his tongue burst with spring thunder, and shouted: "Who dares to make a noise in the Golden Palace? Everyone is silent!"
With this roar, the people jumping and waving, whispering, and shouting all seemed to be frozen in place, and they all turned their eyes towards Xia Xun...
