Yan Song and Yan Shoufu are in a pretty good mood at this time. At least so far, everything is going smoothly.
If he succeeds exactly as he envisioned, then the situation in the court will be completely reversed overnight!
Zhang Bangqi is in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, Fan Jizu is in charge of the Ministry of War, Tu Qiao is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Gan Weilin is still in control of the Ministry of Works, and the dissatisfied Shangshu Mao Bowen of the Ministry of Punishment is appeased. The power of the Strict Party and the alliance will reach an unprecedented level.
At the level of ministers, the Yan Party and allied forces are about to completely surpass the Qin Party and gain a decisive advantage!
With such a foundation, the first assistant is also the real first assistant.
Thanks to Wang Tingxiang, who was in a critical position, his serious illness caused a chain reaction at the critical moment and saved the Yan Party from decline.
Thanks to Qin Dewei, the leader of the Qin Party, he left the town three thousand miles away at the critical moment, which resulted in the Qin Party's slow response and difficulty in dealing with emergencies.
Even Yan Shoufu always felt that he had missed something, but he thought about all the ministers present at the third level and above, and he didn't feel that anyone was missing.
The scene was so tense and it tested the on-the-spot reaction so much that Yan Shoufu didn't have the energy to be distracted and think too much.
When the Qin Party had to respond, Chen Chun, the censor in charge, slowly pulled out a letter from his sleeve.
Then he said to everyone: "Qin Banqiao and I have a friendship of the same age. I wrote to me a few days ago, asking about some things, about how to deal with the relatives of the courtiers who violate the law and discipline."
Everyone else stopped talking and quietly watched Chen Chun start his performance. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Qin Party's counterattack was about to begin.
Chen Chun coughed and was about to continue talking when there was a sudden "bang" and the wooden door of the east room was suddenly pushed open.
Who dares to be so rude? Everyone looked at the sound and saw Eunuch Qin, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the admiral of Dongchang, striding in from outside.
At this moment, Yan Song suddenly understood where the feeling that he had missed just now came from.
I only considered the ministers in front of me, but I temporarily ignored the eunuch Qin who was in charge of the rites!
So before Eunuch Qin could say anything, Yan Song immediately shouted to Eunuch Qin: "This is a meeting place for courtiers. Why did Eunuch Qin come in? Please stay away!"
But Eunuch Qin did not answer first. Instead, he looked at the official school in the corner.
As we all know, such occasions are always attended by factory guards and officials. This is the unique spy system of the Ming Dynasty.
The official school immediately walked quickly to Eunuch Qin and whispered in a low voice, seeming to introduce the current situation of the court.
The Qin party's counterattack was interrupted by the arrogant Qin eunuch.
Yan Song looked on coldly, no matter how awesome you are, Eunuch Qin, this is not your territory, how can you directly intervene in the court? Isn't it because you have a long life?
If you, Eunuch Qin, dare to directly interfere in the selection of ministers here, I will beat you to death on the spot and no one will complain to you!
Eunuch Qin finished listening to the report from the official school, frowning slightly and thinking for a moment.
This made the minister feel very strange. What relationship does Ting Tui have to you, Eunuch Qin?
You, Eunuch Qin, are theoretically not qualified to participate in court proceedings. If you ask about the situation in public, what are your thoughts here?
If you have something to say and nothing to do, why should you hesitate? Are you just here to cause trouble and interrupt the Qin Party's counterattack?
Fortunately, Eunuch Qin thought quickly and did not keep others waiting. Before Yan Shoufu drove people away again, he loudly said to everyone: "Although the emperor is still unconscious, there was some movement just now. I wonder if he will wake up.
I came here to inform you all!"
Such a sentence made everyone's minds in the entire Dongchaofang explode!
The sky is big and the earth is big, no matter how big things are, they are not as big as the emperor!
Yan Song no longer cared about Ting Tui, and walked out, saying to his left and right, "I'm going to serve your majesty!"
Suddenly, the Dongchao room was noisy, and a group of ministers wanted to serve the emperor.
In the end, Eunuch Qin stopped at the door and shouted: "There are too many people and it's troublesome. All you need to do is go to the cabinet ministers and Jiu Qing! The others are waiting here and continue to push forward!"
This arrangement fits well
The minister, the cabinet and the lineup of nine ministers are indeed distinguished and have priority over others.
But who among the others was still in the mood to continue pushing? But they didn't want to leave, so they continued to wait for news in the East Chao Fang.
So the Qin eunuch took a group of important officials and hurried towards Renshou Palace in Xiyuan. Emperor Jiajing was still lying in Renshou Palace!
Walking outside the main hall door of the queen's dormitory in Renshou Palace, the young eunuch Feng Bao who was waiting here hurriedly reported: "Just now, the emperor's eyebrows moved, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his head and neck moved a little on his own."
No one knew whether this was a return to light or an imminent awakening, so everyone quickly walked into the main hall.
In order to facilitate the ministers and avoid suspicion, after temporarily removing the screen blocking the view, they saw Empress Fang standing in front of the royal couch, beside her were eunuch Huang Jin, Jin Yiwei Lu Bing, Xu Miao and several other people who had been keeping a low profile in the past year.
As the chief assistant, Yan Song took a step forward and was about to ask questions on behalf of the ministers, when he saw Queen Fang suddenly kneeling down towards the imperial couch.
Then Huang Jin, Lu Bing, Xu Miao and others also knelt down one after another, and heard Queen Fang say: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is filled with blessings, long live, long live!"
After the people in the front row knelt down, the ministers behind him saw clearly that Emperor Jiajing on the imperial couch had his eyes opened to a line and he was staring blankly upward.
So the ministers immediately knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
Emperor Jiajing heard the sound and turned his head to look, but his eyes were confused and confused.
Now the emperor's memory is still stuck in nearly a year ago, and he has no idea what happened after he fell asleep on the night of the palace change.
At this time, it was time to test the reaction of everyone present. In the end, Eunuch Qin was the first to understand and took a few steps forward to move to the couch.
Then he said to Emperor Jiajing: "A year ago, someone in the palace killed the holy body while His Majesty was sleeping. Fortunately, Empress Fang rescued him, and His Majesty slept for almost a year."
Eunuch Qin concluded that with Emperor Jiajing's character, he didn't want to listen to unnecessary nonsense at this moment, and he definitely just wanted to find out what was going on as soon as possible!
Otherwise, the emperor will feel that he is kept in the dark and will be very anxious. Therefore, we must use the most concise and concise language to clear up the confusion for the emperor and eliminate the uneasiness caused by ignorance!
At this special moment, whoever explains the situation clearly first will be temporarily trusted by the emperor!
After waiting for a while, Emperor Jiajing finally digested what Eunuch Qin said and his mind became slightly clearer.
Then everyone heard the emperor's difficult words and asked Eunuch Qin: "Ministers, who are there?"
The idiot might have thought that Jiajing was asking who were the people present, but Eunuch Qin obviously would not make such a mistake.
Given Emperor Jiajing's desire for power and control, he must be asking who is in the court now and what changes have been made compared to a year ago.
So the Qin eunuch hurriedly said: "The chief assistant Yan Song, the cabinet ministers, Zhang Chao, Zhang Bi, and Zhan Shi Zhang Bangqi from the Ministry of Rites.
The minister presiding over the Military Aircraft Department is in court today, and upon Zhao Wenhua's suggestion, it is currently being tentatively planned to nominate Zhang Bangqi.
Most of the ministries have not changed. Only the Minister of the Ministry of War is also making recommendations today. After Zhao Wenhua's suggestion, it is currently planned to recommend Fan Jizu, the Minister of the Left."
Although Emperor Jiajing struggled to speak, he still asked in confusion: "Who is Zhao Wenhua?"
Just saying this identity is enough. It doesn't matter what official Zhao Wenhua is, and it's not what the emperor wants to know.
Yan Song: "..."
He originally thought that Qin Dewei was the most sinister person in the world, but only today did he know that Eunuch Qin was ten times more sinister than Qin Dewei!
Only now did he understand why Eunuch Qin immediately wanted to know about Ting Tui's situation after entering the Dongchao Room, and what exactly Eunuch Qin was thinking about in the Dongchao Room!
And now I understand why the Qin eunuch suddenly interrupted the Qin Party's counterattack, causing Ting Tui to pause at the stage of drafting two strict party figures, Zhang Bangqi and Fan Jizu!
All the intentions are to say the above words after the emperor opens his eyes!
To everyone's ears, Eunuch Qin was objectively describing some facts.
Let the emperor understand the current situation without any fabrication or exaggeration.
But any words still have to look at the context!
Emperor Jiajing was stunned for a while, as if he was digesting the information provided by Eunuch Qin. He believed that what Eunuch Qin said was true, and he would never dare to make up lies in front of so many people.
But something still made the emperor feel that something was extremely wrong. In Eunuch Qin's introduction, there was not even a single word about an important person.
Although Emperor Jiajing was unwilling to take the effort to speak, he still asked Eunuch Qin unhappily: "Qin Dewei?"
Eunuch Qin still told the truth without adding any personal feelings: "Qin Dewei went out to Zhejiang last year to quell the Japanese invaders."
Emperor Jiajing rolled his eyelids and expressed surprise. Qin Dewei was considered to be half a cabinet minister. According to the traditional concept, it was a derogation for a bachelor to go out of town.
Putting together the information provided by Eunuch Qin, there are actually four sentences: Yan Song has become the chief assistant! Qin Dewei, another powerful minister in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, has been released! Yan Song's people are about to seize the Military Aircraft Department! Yan Song's people are about to seize the Military Department.
!
If you don’t understand the causes and consequences, and only hear these four sentences, and then read and understand them, you will only judge this way: Qin Dewei failed in the struggle in the court, the Qin party was defeated, the army lost the military aircraft department and the war department, and Yan Song was about to monopolize power in the court as the chief assistant.
Got it!
Emperor Jiajing seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable with the suffocation, and let out a long breath. He wanted to move, but found that except for the fact that his head and neck could move left and right, his whole body could not move.
But he didn't think much about it. He just assumed that his blood vessels were blocked after being in bed for a long time, and he was already feeling extremely tired, so he lay back and closed his eyes, preparing to rest his mind.
Upon seeing this, the minister took the initiative to greet him and resigned. Emperor Jiajing only said one sentence in the end: "Summon Xia Yan to the court."
Yan Song was bursting with tears in his heart. Emperor Jiajing was obviously taking action to prevent Yan Song from taking power!
According to official rules, if the former chief assistant comes back, he must continue to be the chief assistant! Yan Song was deprived of his position as chief assistant so easily.
But the biggest problem is that he, Yan Song, has no dictatorship at all until now! And he is not as dictatorial as Qin Dewei, who is three thousand miles away!
Qin Dewei is the female official who has colluded with the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and has the potential to have power!
How could he, Yan Song, fight against two unprecedented and sinister villains at the same time?
But the ignorant king, who is ignorant of the truth and does not distinguish between loyal women, actually wants to suppress him, Yan Song! It is simply the most extraordinary injustice in the ages, and it will be revealed!
