Chapter 1213 Don't eat the toast and eat fine wine
Although Zhu Houcong was young, he had great ambitions and was familiar with history books. Prince Xing's palace invited many famous celebrities in the world. Zhu Houcong followed them to read history and discuss ancient times, and learned a lot of things that young people of his age could not learn.
Because of this, Zhu Houcong really knew more about historical anecdotes and events than others.
When Yang Tinghe and three other people said these words, after a brief confusion, Zhu Houcong immediately thought of the plot and scene often read in history books, that is: holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
He is not the emperor, and he has not even sat on the throne. The enthronement ceremony was stopped, and he is actually a laughing stock of the world. As for the words the Queen Mother said, it is just a kind of relief. The respect of Yang Tinghe and others is just
It's just an attitude.
Zhu Houcong actually knew one thing very well. Zhang Yanling's attitude was the key to whether he could ascend the throne. Because Zhang Yanling took out the emperor's edict that day, and the edict clearly gave Zhang Yanling the power to decide on major political affairs. Of course, this also included the new emperor.
The power of selection.
Zhang Yanling himself is an important minister in the court and enjoys high prestige among the military and civilians. He is a figure who has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty in recent years. Not long ago, he recovered the Hetao and reversed the decline of the army. It averted the shame of the previous defeat and was even more inspiring.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yanling was already a god-like figure. Otherwise, how could the emperor immediately designate the two princes of the Northern Expedition Army as kings?
For such a person, even if he does not have the emperor's edict in hand, his opinions cannot be ignored.

Zhu Houcong has also understood many things, such as the death of the emperor, Yang Tinghe and others deliberately concealed the news and did not notify Zhang Yanling. For example, the decision to become the successor to the throne was actually the decision of the Queen Mother, Yang Tinghe and them, and they did not discuss it with Zhang Yanling.
.
This shows that Yang Tinghe and others had no intention of letting Zhang Yanling participate in major court affairs, and even deliberately concealed it and excluded Zhang Yanling from decision-making. They took advantage of Zhang Yanling's opportunity to lead the army to fight abroad to make a plan. This further shows that Yang Tinghe,
The others and Zhang Yanling are not the same person, and there is a deep contradiction between them.
Zhu Houcong had read too many conflicts and battles in dynasties in history, and he understood what was going on. The current situation is nothing more than that Yang Tinghe and others made decisions without telling Zhang Yanling, and Zhang Yanling rushed back to the capital after getting the news, so she directly caused trouble.
The enthronement ceremony was held. To put it bluntly, these two groups were just fighting each other for power.
In fact, he is just a tool in their fight. As for Zhang Yanling, he does not have any malice towards him, but because he is the candidate selected by Yang Ting and them, that is why he opposes indiscriminately. To put it bluntly, even if
Not myself, but anyone. As long as it was Yang Ting and the candidates they proposed without telling Zhang Yanling, the result would be the same.
Originally, it would have been fine if things could be cooked. Even if Zhang Yanling knew about it, he could not oust the emperor who had already ascended the throne. The bad thing is that Zhang Yanling drove him back, which led to the current deadlock.
Yang Tinghe and others came to ask him to issue an order to take strong measures against Zhang Yanling. This sounded like a reasonable behavior. But Zhu Houcong understood that this was Yang Tinghe and others using themselves as a shield to eliminate their political opponents. Yang Tinghe and others wanted to use their own
He was ordered to take action against Zhang Yanling, and he had to bear all the blame afterwards.
Zhang Yanling not only had a high status, but also had extremely high prestige among the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty. He also had Zhu Houzhao's edict in hand, and the emperor appointed him as the governor. Yang Ting and others did not dare to take action against Zhang Yanling because they did not have any
Justifiable reasons. If we take action forcefully, it will arouse the anger of the people in the world, which will be extremely detrimental to them.
Because of this, they came here to ask for their own decree. If they use their own decree as a token to act, they will have to bear the blame for all troubles caused in the future.
As a newly ascended emperor, he killed Zhang Yanling, the most prominent figure in the court, who had a high reputation in the Ming Dynasty, as soon as he ascended the throne. Can he continue to be an emperor?
Zhang Yanling is the biological brother of the Queen Mother. She has made such a decree. If Zhang Yanling is killed by Yang Ting and others, will the Queen Mother spare her?

Zhang Yanling's influence in the Central Army was so intricate that even if he wanted to touch him, he would have to wait until his wings were full before he could do it. How could he, as an emperor, do it safely when he had just ascended the throne?
Yang Ting and the others had a good idea. All the consequences and responsibilities in the future would be put on themselves, and everything had nothing to do with them. They might even add insult to injury and join forces with the Queen Mother to directly destroy them. By then, they would have nothing to rely on, and nothing to do with them.
A person who speaks for himself will end up in a miserable state and be deposed. It is not known whether he will survive after being kicked off the throne.
In just a short moment, Zhu Houcong went through ninety-nine and eighty-one twists and turns in his mind, and quickly understood the powerful relationship between them. Yang Ting and the others were trying to take advantage of him, how could Zhu Houcong be such a fool?
"Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly. In order for the Emperor to successfully ascend the throne, the Emperor must make up his mind. That Zhang Yanling obstructed the Emperor from ascending the throne is really treason. The Emperor only needs to issue an order, and the ministers will capture Zhang Yanling and his accomplices.
Return the Qingming to the court. The emperor can not only successfully ascend the throne, but also let the world know that the emperor is decisive and wise in killing, and can greatly expand the emperor's prestige and make the world admire him!"
Seeing that Zhu Houcong was silent, Yang Tinghe thought that Zhu Houcong was moved, so he hurriedly added a few more sentences to strike while the iron was hot.
But Zhu Houcong breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Yang Shoufu, Mr. Fei, Mr. Cao, I can't issue an edict. First, I haven't ascended the throne yet. Even if the Queen Mother has an edict to announce to the world, the enthronement ceremony has not been held, so I will
Not yet
He is the emperor. So I am not qualified to issue decrees and ask you to do something for me. Secondly, Zhang Yanling is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. He has made great achievements recently. He was conferred the title of king with a different surname by the late emperor. He has made many meritorious deeds for the Ming Dynasty. How can such a meritorious official do it?
He is a treasonous and immoral minister. Just because he prevented the enthronement ceremony, we cannot say that he is a treacherous and treacherous minister and order his arrest. This approach is absolutely impossible. Even if I am not the emperor, I cannot do this. Besides, Zhang Yanling
It's not because he is dissatisfied with me. What he said today is that the death of the late emperor should be investigated clearly and the enthronement should be renegotiated. The adults should communicate more with him instead of using force.
.”
Yang Ting, Fei Hong and Cao Yuan were stunned. They never expected that Zhu Houcong would actually say such words. They originally thought that Zhu Houcong would not hesitate to climb up the pole like grabbing a life-saving straw at this time.
He agreed to the edict. Who would have thought that he would actually refuse.
"Your Majesty, what did you say? Did we hear it correctly? Your Majesty said that you are unwilling to issue an edict, right?" Fei Hong said in a deep voice.
Zhu Houcong nodded and said: "Exactly, I cannot make this decree, and I am not qualified to make it."
"Hehehehe." Yang Tinghe smiled while stroking his beard, nodded slowly and said: "It seems that I have worked hard, but I am just trying to shave my head. The emperor himself is not interested, what else can I say? In this case
, let’s just drop this matter. I’ll wait for the meeting tomorrow.
According to Zhang Yanling's idea, we will discuss the candidate for the new emperor. Your Majesty... No, no, no, you should be called the Crown Prince of Prince Xing's Mansion. Crown Prince, after tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to take you back to Prince Xing's Mansion in Anlu. You are not homesick.
What? Just be patient and you can go home tomorrow."

Zhu Houcong was unmoved and said in a deep voice: "Then I would like to thank Yang Shoufu. In any case, I would like to thank Yang Shoufu and all of you for taking care of me during this time. If a new candidate is decided at the meeting tomorrow, then I will naturally go back to Anlu.
.There is nothing we can do about that.”
Yang Tinghe frowned and glared at Zhu Houcong, and suddenly sneered: "Prince Xing, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You want to be the emperor so badly, why are you pretending not to care? You want to be the emperor, but you are unwilling to pay.
How can the price be so reasonable in the world? You don’t even think about it, there are so many royal bloodline who will inherit the throne.
There are many candidates, and it doesn’t have to be you. The Queen Mother did announce the imperial edict, but the situation is different now, and the imperial edict can be invalidated. The entire responsibility lies with Zhang Yanling. The court has become a mess and has lost its integrity. It is just convenient to choose another candidate for the new emperor.
It's just even more disrespectful. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you have to do it."
Zhu Houcong raised his head and sneered: "I don't quite understand what Yang Shoufu said. It was you who asked me to take the throne. It's not my fault that the mess has been made now. Why do you blame me?"
Cao Yuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you are really confused. I am waiting for you to ascend the throne smoothly. How come the Crown Prince seems to regard us as enemies? The person who blocked your accession to the throne is Zhang Yanling. Are you out of your mind?"
"
Cao Yuan's words were already rude, and they were not meant for the future emperor. To rebuke the future emperor in person for losing his head was a capital crime. This showed that in Cao Yuan's heart, Zhu Houcong was nothing at all.
Zhu Houcong laughed and said softly: "You are doing it for me? You don't dare to take it seriously. We don't have to say these empty words. I know it very well in my heart. If you want me to issue an order to deal with Zhang Yanling, you are using my words as a token. Go
Eliminate dissidents for you. This is called coercing the emperor to order the princes. In the future, I will naturally be the one to take the blame. Can I still be the emperor if I touch Zhang Yanling? Isn’t this what thousands of people have pointed out? You can’t fight on yourselves.
If you have passed him, you want to use my words to use force. I am not a fool, how can I be fooled by you. Three adults, there is no need to play with these scheming, they are all discerning people, and they all know what the other person is thinking.
Even if I don’t want to be the emperor, I can’t do what you say. Otherwise, not only will I fail to be the emperor, but I will also be ruined, reviled by others, and used as a knife in your hands. Humph, don’t even think about it!”
Yang Tinghe's face changed drastically, and his face turned livid. Zhu Houcong was so smart that he completely understood his trick, which he never expected. Although it seemed that he had chosen the wrong person before, it was really a headache when Zhu Houcong made trouble in Liangxiang, but that was just
For the little trouble, I thought it was just a teenage boy who simply missed his parents and family, so he started causing trouble.
But now, when Zhu Houcong said these words, it was like stripping everyone's pants off in front of their faces and revealing the ugly truth. This shows that Zhu Houcong fully understands the key points, which also shows that Zhu Houcong was completely chosen wrong.
Although Yang Tinghe was angry, he was also a little happy. Now that he knew that Zhu Houcong was not the manipulable emperor candidate he hoped, it might not be a bad thing. Perhaps he had to thank Zhang Yanling for stopping the enthronement ceremony. Otherwise, would he still hope to control Zhu Houcong in the future? I'm afraid this
This is the second Zhu Houzhao.
"In that case, there is nothing more to say. Just pretend that I have never been here. Since the Crown Prince thinks so badly of our loyalty, what else can you say? Master Fei, Master Cao, let's go." Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.

Fei Hong also nodded and agreed: "Yes, it is really unreasonable to treat good intentions as the liver and lungs of a donkey."
Cao Yuan said, "You two adults, please go ahead. I still have something to say to the Crown Prince."
Yang Tinghe smiled slightly and said: "Shang Shu Cao, don't scare the prince. Talk to him properly."
Cao Yuan smiled and said: "That's natural."
Yang Tinghe turned his head and glanced at Zhu Houcong, snorted coldly and walked away, Fei Hong followed him and left quickly.
Zhu Houcong looked at Cao Yuan standing in front of him and felt something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Cao Shangshu, what do you have to say?"
Cao Yuan said coldly: "Please issue an edict and authorize us to eradicate Zhang Yanling, this traitor and traitor."
Zhu Houcong shouted: "I said, I can't issue an order."
Cao Yuan sneered and said: "Do you think this matter is up to you? You have to do it even if you don't. This is the palace, not your palace. Come, wait for the emperor's pen and ink, and ask me, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to issue an edict.
Wang An, please present the jade seal. I will stamp the emperor’s imperial edict with the national seal later.”
While he was talking, more than a dozen guards rushed in. Wang An, the chamberlain, came in holding a jade seal in his hand, followed by several eunuchs, holding pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other items in their hands.

Zhu Houcong felt cold in his heart, his legs went weak, and he slumped down on the chair.
