Chapter 51: Reaching higher heights: Loyal or not?
Chapter 51: Going to heights: Loyal or not?
Zhu Houcong's fierce attack made Yang Tinghe unable to parry.
He was very worried that if a thorough fight was carried out here today, not only would the scolding in the palace a few days ago be repeated, but a group of cabinet ministers, important ministers, and even court staff would also be dismissed from the West Point Gate today.
The fifteen-year-old emperor is even ready to serve as a daily official. He is really not afraid of being scolded by the people of the world and even future generations.
He must accomplish this.
If this matter causes an uproar, then today will definitely become a great purge.
It’s just that the one being purged will be the other party.
The emperor didn't want to start a big war, but who forced the emperor to light the first fire?
After the "irreconcilable" debate about Wang Qiong and other treacherous villains just now, if we try it again now, the momentum will be much weaker.
The emperor's intention was very clear, and he ordered this matter to be done in the form of the emperor's will.
To oppose is to resist and disobey.
If you resist the order on the spot, you can be arrested and imprisoned on the spot.
"Mao Shangshu?" Zhu Houcong asked again.
Mao Cheng, who couldn't wait for Yang Tinghe to speak, gritted his teeth, his eyes became firm, and he knelt down and said with grief and anger: "As the Minister of Rites, I dare not obey this order! I have little talent and little knowledge. I really don't know that Your Majesty will succeed you as a vassal king."
How to discuss No. 4 at the same time!"
Mao Cheng's sad but firm voice echoed inside and outside the Xijiao Gate, and Zhu Houcong couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, it came.
Mao Cheng bore the brunt and could not avoid it.
Zhu Houcong was quite surprised that Yang Tinghe didn't step forward. He was letting Mao Cheng rush to the tower first, and he would express his stance later. Can he advance, attack, retreat, or defend?
In Liangxiang, Mao Cheng was the most opposed, and Yang Tinghe was carrying him in the palace. Now that Yang Tinghe has stopped speaking, Mao Cheng can only take the lead in rushing towards the tower.
After experiencing Zhu Houcong's emperor's statement, which was far more decisive and swift than the grand ceremony recounted by Lao Qin in his memory, Mao Cheng was not rushing the tower.
Facts have proven that as long as someone takes the lead in the charge, there will be soldiers waving flags and shouting.
Is it considered a state matter now?
Is it a specific thing?
Expressing opposition to this, Your Majesty, you have also said that it is okay to oppose your decision, right? Even if you object by resigning, you have three chances, right? This is the rule you just established.
Against him!
Yan Song's hands were shaking.
Who knew that the first thing he had to record as the first official of the new dynasty was related to the legal system of the emperor's succession?
Such a thing makes people disown their parents. Although Yan Song thinks that the heir is indeed foolproof, isn't it understandable that it can be done either left or right? His Majesty has not proposed to dig out one of the ancestral tablets in the Ancestral Temple now, and to use the memorial tablet of his biological father now.
Move in.
He is the emperor, and he gave his dead father an imperial title. Isn't it natural that his living mother should be crowned the Queen Mother?
Do we really have to press his head to recognize Queen Mother Zhang as his mother?
Yan Song looked at the emperor's face and found no anger on the fifteen-year-old emperor's face.
Zhu Houcong just smiled and watched their performance.
At this time, the sun had gradually risen, and the morning light shone from the Fengtian Gate.
Zhu Houcong looked at the sunshine, nodded and stood up: "At this time every day, I go for a morning run. I can't handle a few things quickly today. I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect everything to be so troublesome.
I know your objections. I didn’t ask for your advice on this matter. I ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle it. Mao Cheng, can’t you handle it?”
"I don't know what to do! If Your Majesty insists on doing this, how should you address Xiaomiao and the Queen Mother..."
"I call you aunt." Zhu Houcong laughed, "I go to visit the Queen Mother every morning and evening, and everyone calls me aunt and calls myself nephew. The Queen Mother has no objection to this, and we have a very happy conversation with her."
Mao Cheng was speechless. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Houcong asked again: "Ding Guo Gong, if I remember correctly, I have clearly expressed my attitude before urging him to enter the palace outside the city, right?"
Duke Dingguo was suddenly asked, and he could only step out and answer in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has indeed made this matter clear."
"I once said that if I want my heir to inherit the throne, I will not succeed to the throne. Is that true?"
"...Your Majesty did say that!" Xu Guangzuo felt uncomfortable all over. Please stop calling me by name, please!
"Now that I have succeeded to the throne." Zhu Houxuan said with a stern look, "Uncle Zong, you are a member of the Ying Group, have you forgotten? The Queen Mother is very clear about my attitude, and so are all the cabinet ministers and everyone in the Ying Group. I
I said in the palace that I ascended the throne as the eldest son of King Xingxian according to the imperial edict. The imperial edict is my legal authority and I will not inherit. Now you are claiming that I am not talented enough and have little knowledge, so I can't do it?"
Zhu Houcong was still smiling: "So, Master Mao, are you really unable to do it, or are you against me and don't want to do it?"
Mao Cheng looked righteous: "Your Majesty has arrived at the palace that day. For the sake of the country and the country, the Queen Mother and her ministers temporarily changed the etiquette and welcomed His Majesty to the throne. Now that the late Emperor is on a grand tour, the most important thing is the funeral ceremony.
Your Majesty, your Majesty, why do you order your ministers to discuss No. 4?"
Can't you just stop mentioning such sharp things and take it easy?
"Yan Song." Zhu Houcong suddenly spoke.
"...I'm here." Yan Song was suddenly startled.
"How did I give the order to the Ministry of Rites? Please repeat it again."
"Yes..." Yan Song glanced at the first record, "Your Majesty said... Emperor Daxing was given the posthumous title, Empress Dowager Cishou was given the title, King Xingxian was given the title of emperor, and Princess Xingxian was given the title of Queen Mother.
The Ministry of Rites took a few things and brought out the ritual notes one by one."
Zhu Houcong spread his hands: "When did I say that I want you to discuss the fourth title? The Ministry of Rites received the decree, and naturally in order, they discussed the posthumous title of Emperor Daxing first, and then discussed what title the Empress Dowager Cishou could be granted, and then I was the first to discuss it.
The matter between father and mother and concubine. Mao Cheng, don’t you understand?”
Mao Cheng's heart was racing, but he could only bite the bullet and answer: "...I am taking charge of these four matters at the same time, what is the difference between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites discussing the fourth issue at the same time?"
"The difference is whether you accept this will or not. If you don't want to accept it, don't say that you are lacking in talent and learning." Zhu Houcong still smiled, "I ask you again, are you unable to do it, or do you not want to do it?"
Mao Cheng looked directly at him, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "I do not agree with your Majesty's insistence on not having an heir!"
"Very good, the matter is now clear." Zhu Houcong nodded, "Since Mao Shangshu didn't agree with it, why did he change the etiquette that day?"
"I said that the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to the country, the country, and the country, so she ordered me to write a letter earlier to persuade the emperor to come forward, so I temporarily changed the note."
"Very good. You listen to the Queen Mother's decree, but you don't listen to my decree." Zhu Houcong covered it with a hat again, "This kind of behavior can be understood as disloyalty to me, right? Come on, ask this question three times today.
.”
"I have ascended the throne, and what I am issuing now is an imperial edict. If you do not accept this imperial edict, you will not agree with the legitimacy of my succession to the throne without heirs, and you will not be loyal to me." Zhu Houhuan smiled and asked Yang Tinghe, "Mr. Yang Ge, I
Is this correct to understand?”
Yang Tinghe felt grievances accumulating in his heart, pursed his lips and shed tears.
The above chapter is online, right?
He couldn't answer, because there was no problem with this understanding, because he had indeed ascended the throne. Disagreeing with his clearly stated attitude could indeed be understood as disloyalty.
Who is loyal or disloyal is only the emperor's impression.
"Come on, light a stick of incense!" Zhu Houcong wanted to remove the veil that these people were hiding. "I know that Uncle Zong is not the only one who has this concern. Many people suddenly hear about this and need to think carefully. I will go first.
Go for a morning jog, you can think deeply about this issue here. When I come back, if you still don’t agree, then it will be treated as disloyalty."
After he finished speaking, he really stood up and walked behind the throne. Only then did everyone know what he meant when he mentioned morning jogging.
Damn it, how can I go for a run in the middle of the morning?
But the emperor really left the throne and walked behind the west corner gate.
The emperor really went for a run. Everyone in the west corner porch heard the footsteps behind the west corner door and the emperor's voice: "Zhang Zuo, just keep up."
Then there were two footsteps that were getting further away.
Many eyes were focused on Yang Tinghe.
Mr. Ge, please say something!
