Faced with the emperor's sudden recovery from this "change", the ministers who had been guarding the Eastern Court room all night were talking, and at least on the surface, everyone had to make a happy and cheerful look.
Under this natural state, the ministers of the Ministry and the Court in the East Court room automatically gathered in camps and stood together with their fellow party members to speak.
If there is no camp or neutral scattered people, they will look for other scattered people to get together and are not clearly involved in the party camp.
The Lin Party has the largest number of people. After all, the Lin Party has been in power for more than ten years. Although it has lost two positions, the Chief Secretary and the Minister of War last year, its family still has a deep foundation.
Chen Yiguan, Wang Xiangmeng, Hao Jie, Li Weizhen, Shen Yongmao and other officials did not shy away at this moment, and they all surrounded Lin Tailai, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy.
The chief assistant Chen Li was surrounded by the three assistants Li Chun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel Chen Younian, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites Ye Xianggao, the minister of the Ministry of War Wei Yunzhen, and the left deputy minister of the imperial censor Qian Yiben and other generals of the Qingliu power.
There are also many people who are clearly seeing the Liu Party, but if you look closely, you will feel very weak, revealing the smell of being strong on the outside but dry on the inside.
The third auxiliary Li Chun and Ye Xianggao, who had just returned from Nanjing, are all decorations. Chen Younian, the Ministry of Personnel, is difficult to perform under the attack of Chen Yiguan and Wang Xiangmeng. Wei Yunzhen of the Ministry of War is already in turmoil and shaky. The Censorate has a good prestige.
The main reason is that the chief assistant Chen Li has been in office for only more than half a year and has encountered another major crisis. Under the blockade of the Lin Party, the senior personnel layout cannot be completed.
Just as everyone was communicating with each other, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the Dongchao room.
"Gei Master Chen! The edict that Dabao has been used is still in your hands. Please send it out quickly, otherwise when will it last?"
Hearing these words, everyone calmed down. Looking down at the sound, it turned out to be the eldest son of the former chief minister, Shen Yongmao!
Everyone knew about the content of the edict last night.
Once this edict is issued from the cabinet and issued to the subjects of the world, the emperor can no longer deny it. This is called "the king has no jokes."
Shen Yongmao's behavior of urging the presiding officer Chen to send the edict out made everyone realize that the emperor might have repented?
After all, the edict was written yesterday when the emperor was dying, so he was "good at his words" and seemed to want to "repair his past."
If the emperor recovers, his emotions will definitely be different again. If he can live well, who will "repent"?
All eyes stared at the Chief Minister Chen, which made Chief Minister Chen feel more pressure and hesitated with the edict.
He knew very well that if the edict was promulgated from him and the emperor repented, he would have to bear all the consequences.
Shen Yongmao raised his hand, pointed at the Master Chen Ruji and said loudly: "No, right? No, right? Master Chen Ge, you are unwilling to send the edict in your hand, right?
Haven’t you regarded yourself as the righteous way and clear stream, and have been submitting memorials over the years, asking the emperor to abolish the mining supervision and tax supervision and re-appoint the right minister who dares to speak out?
These are the biggest propositions and demands of you Qingliu Party members in recent years, besides the foundation of the country!
Now that the mining tax is clearly removed, the edict to pardon the guilty ministers is in your hands, and you are unwilling to issue it?
Do you want the justice you proclaimed and your noble moral theory?”
Chen Shoufu: ""
Perhaps it is difficult to collect the edict after it is issued, but even if the emperor cannot handle the edict, can he still deal with his assistant?
The Ming system is really too trash! If it were the former prime minister, why wouldn’t he dare to do this or that!
Shou Shuai was very regretful. If he had known this, Lin Tailai asked for the edict last night, he would hand over the edict to Lin Tailai for preservation! Otherwise, why would he fall into this dilemma between morality and reality!
Shen Yongmao said in great indignation: "You have always accused your father of being accusing him of being indifferent to both sides of the face. It turns out that you have become the chief minister, and that's all!"
If you vent your emotions, only the eldest son of Shen Yongmao, the former chief assistant, can say that he can directly step on his face and output it.
Most of the Qingliu Party members were nervous and silent, but no one expressed their opinions.
They don’t know how to express their opinions to resolve this sudden moral crisis.
Unless the Minister Chen made up his determination to issue an edict without hesitating for self-sacrifice, it was like drinking poison to quench thirst.
If the chief minister is lost, then it is difficult to wait for the opportunity to rule. What should the Qingliu forces do in the future?
At this critical moment, the Qingliu power leader Qian Yiben, the Zuo Deputy Censor, stepped forward and said to the Minister Chen with a loud voice:
"Issuing an edict to promote good deeds is a way to help the wise and wise, which can be remembered in history. Why should Duke Chen look forward to the front and back?
Where morality lies, even if millions of people have gone! How can we give up the way of a gentleman for small profits?"
If Shen Yongmao's attitude is external pressure to Chen Shoufu, then Qian Yiben's attitude is a huge pressure from the "Pilgrimage" within the Qingliu power.
Many ministers seemed to be infected and shouted to Chief Chen in unison: "Fa!Fa!Fa!"
It is not a forged edict, and the procedures are completely legal. What should I dare not issue?
But the assistant Chen held the edict tightly, and did not move at all, and still had no intention of sending it out.
Even those neutral scattered people were a little disappointed with the prime minister when they saw this scene.
After a while, three young internal supervisors came to the Dongchao room and said to Chen Li: "The emperor has an order to take back yesterday's edict! The chief minister will give us the edict!"
After being stunned for a moment, Shoushen stretched out his hand and handed the edict in his hand to the internal supervisor who came to ask for the edict.
The money that could not bear was rushed forward and stopped in front of Shoufu Shen, and said excitedly: "Mr. Chen! Have you forgotten the original intention of me to be sent to me twenty years ago?"
Shoushou Chen silently bypassed the money and continued to walk to the three young internal supervisors who came to ask for the edict.
Qian Yiben murmured to himself: "Shame, shame."
Then Lin Tailai blocked the assistant Chen again and advised sincerely: "Putting aside political contradictions, I would like to ask Senior Chen to think twice before doing it."
Chen Li didn't want to pay attention to Lin Tailai and shouted: "Does go!"
Lin Tailai's majestic body as a mountain blocked the way for the Shou Assistant Chen, and the three internal supervisors who came to recover the edict did not dare to attack Lin Tailai.
In this way, the two sides were separated by Lin Tailai, and the situation was in a stalemate.
At this moment, someone suddenly rolled and crawled to the door of the Dongchao room and shouted: "Two murderers who came from nowhere broke into the East Palace with sticks, and the prince was beaten and injured!"
When I suddenly heard this news, the Dongchao Room was in an uproar! It was even more shocking than hearing the emperor recovering from recovery!
Unexpectedly, on this morning when we should have been waiting for the emperor to die and die, bizarre news in the palace one after another!
The news of the emperor's resurrection before it was completely digested, and the news of the prince's attack quickly popped up again!
What's wrong with this? The ministers were a little short-circuited in their thinking and were at a loss for a moment.
"Conspiracy! There must be a palace conspiracy!" Lin Tailai woke up first and roared in the Dongchao room in anger.
When everyone heard the word "conspiracy", they all thought of Concubine Zheng and the third son of the emperor.
First, except for Concubine Zheng and the third son of the emperor, no one has the more motive to attack the crown prince. They are almost the only beneficiaries!
Second, there are not many people in the palace who have the strength to do this, and the favored Concubine Zheng is one of them.
Third, Concubine Zheng and the third son of the emperor had a criminal record. Twelve years ago, they ordered dozens of internal magistrates to beat Lin Tailai in the palace.
Then Lin Tailai quickly guided everyone's thoughts, pointed to the edict in the hand of Shougong Chen, and said loudly:
"The edict cannot be handed over! Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, we will have no basis in our hands!"
It was like a word waking up the dreamer, and the ministers who were still confused immediately woke up and understood!
No one can say what the situation is in the palace now, and it is not impossible for big things to happen if the sky falls and the earth falls.
But no matter what, as long as the edict in the hands of the Chief Minister Chen is still there, the court officials will have the "legal principles" to dominate later affairs and will always stabilize the overall situation!
If there is no legal reason in your hands, the court officials will have to be controlled by the "conspiracy forces" in the palace in terms of justice and will fall into a very passive situation.
For example, a certain imperial concubine and a certain emperor killed the crown prince in the palace and the seriously ill emperor. Then a "edict" was sent to the outside court. Or would the ministers not listen?
Therefore, this edict in the hands of Shougong Chen is definitely the current Dinghai Shen Needle and the cornerstone of stability.
The three internal supervisors approached the Minister Chen, and the leader reached out to get the edict.
No matter what happened, their task was to take back the edict. If the task was not completed, they might be beaten to death by the emperor when they returned.
Lin Tailai rushed up and punched the powerful punch, knocking the inner supervisor who was holding the edict, and then shouted loudly:
"The internal supervisor must not make a rash edict! The current situation is unclear. Who knows if you have participated in the conspiracy and suffered a life of trouble and come to destroy the edict?"
Lin Dang yelled together: "The Chief Superintendent actually wants to hand over the edict to someone of unknown origin, and it is also untrustworthy!"
Qian Yiben, the tycoon of the Qingliu power, sighed and suggested: "For the sake of the overall situation, only the only way to take Fang Hou can protect the edict now!"
Lin Tailai, who was expected to be, was no longer polite. He grabbed the assistant Chen's wrist and forcibly snatched the edict.
Then Lin Tailai pushed the assistant Chen aside with all his might and said to everyone: "I am urgently obeying the power, so I responded to the request of you. This edict will be kept by me, Lin Tailai!"
Everyone said, "That's what it should be!"
Faced with the chaotic and chaotic situation in the palace, the court officials rarely worked together, and even the Qingliu forces shut their mouths at this time.
If the conspiring forces in the palace send someone to grab the edict, Lin Tailai is the most likely person to fight out with the edict.
To be continued...
