Chapter 263 Loud thunder and little rain? The prince has his own ravine
According to the rules of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the day after the emperor's burial was supposed to be the day when the female military officers and soldiers and civilians went to cry outside Sishan Gate. However, due to the sudden death of Emperor Hongzhi, there was a lot of confusion both inside and outside.
The Tuan Dynasty was in turmoil, and it took another nine days after the official service day for the Ministry of Rites to present the funeral rites and at the same time promulgate the imperial edict to the world. From this time on, when the emperor Hongzhi was mentioned again, his original title was
He was also replaced by Emperor Daxing. As for Zhu Houzhao, the de facto orthodox heir of the dynasty, since he had not yet ascended the throne, he was naturally still addressed as His Highness the Crown Prince.
The big funeral is still going on smoothly and orderly. What follows is that the military and civilians write letters to persuade the emperor to come in, and the prince insists on his resignation. This kind of drama has been without exception since ancient times, but it is just a little more complicated. However, what the three cabinet ministers are most worried about
There has been no news, although for them, no news is the biggest good news. Thinking of Li Dongyang's words to Zhu Houzhao when he was leaving, even Liu Jian, a tall man who had had a fight with Li Dongyang before the death of Emperor Hongzhi, also
I have to give a thumbs up to my colleague.
"A hundred times of steel has been turned into soft fingers, Xi Ya, I admire your ability." "There is no way, we have talked so much, but in the end we still can't say a word as good as the queen." Xie Qian sighed, thinking of Zhu Houzhao at that time.
The tyrannical attitude displayed, and considering the magnanimity of Emperor Hongzhi, although he hated Liu Wentai extremely, he still felt a deep worry in his heart. So when Li Dongyang remained silent, he said again: "I heard that the inner court
News came that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered Guan Gu Dayong of the old Ridong Palace to establish the West Factory, Liu Jin to be in charge of the Bell and Drum Division, and Ma Yong to be the eunuch of the social affairs department. In addition, Zhang Yong was previously appointed to supervise the avant-garde of the government army.
I don't know how many people know that the inner court will be turned upside down in just an instant." "Yes, although the current ministers and supervisors of rituals have various problems, generally speaking, they are like me.
We have worked together for many years, and we are familiar with each other's temperaments, etc., and we are all decent people. In such matters, we need to maintain one or two for them, otherwise, if the chief ceremonial supervisor changes to another person, we will be afraid of repeating the same mistakes of the past." This year.
It refers to when the drum is played without a heavy hammer. Liu Jian did not continue to talk, and the other two people also knew it. However, before the three people had settled down and had not dispersed, a clerk came from outside to report that he was the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
A writer was sent to deliver the memorials. Since the funeral of Emperor Hongzhi was being held these days, all the unimportant matters were dealt with at the discretion of each yamen, and important matters would not be submitted at this time. Therefore, there were only a few memorials piled up in the past.
There were more than a dozen books. When Li Dongyang and Xie Qian saw this, they simply picked them up one by one in Liu Jian's room and browsed them casually. But it didn't matter if they didn't read them. When they took a look, they were both shocked at the same time.
"Yuansuke, what's going on today..."
Liu Jian saw that Li Dongyang Xie Qian had a bad look on his face, and immediately walked forward quickly. However, as soon as he opened the booklet, he narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. This is the British Duke Zhang Mao
The content of the notebook was about the impeachment of Liu Wentai and others, and the words were sharp, making it obvious that it was written by someone else. He raised his head and glanced at Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and saw the two of them smiling bitterly as they handed over the other notebooks.
, he took a look and saw that they were all unfamiliar names of Ke Dao Yan Guan, and his brows furrowed even deeper. Li Dongyang, who took Zhang Mao's notebook, glanced at it and suddenly read it out loud.
“…………. Quack doctors are responsible for the law of murder and their faults are specially designed to set the ears for ordinary people.
If you misunderstand the master and lose the hope of the people in the ancestral temple, it will be a great harm to the world, and the sin will not be forgiven. Therefore, Hehe's imperial medicine is wrong and does not follow the original prescription, which is called great disrespect and listed among the ten evils. Please add Yu and others to kill them.
With the wrath of a turbulent god..., after reading this, Li Dongyang flicked the chapter and said thoughtfully, "The British prince took the lead and provoked public anger with harsh words. Now, what will follow is bound to be a snowflake of memorials."
If I send it in, I'm afraid things won't be able to be suppressed."
………,……,……,……,……,……
"This matter cannot be suppressed!"
There was a great funeral for the emperor, and although the imperial edict prohibited music, marriage, and marriage, drinking, etc. were still prohibited as a rule.
For a time, all the restaurants and restaurants in the capital that used to be full of guests were out of business. If others wanted to talk about things that were not convenient to talk about at home, they could only go to those teahouses. As a result, several restaurants that were usually famous for their elegance and privacy
Business in the teahouse was booming immediately, all the private rooms were reserved, and the schedule was already scheduled for half a month.
At this moment, a few people were sitting in the private room on the second floor of Ying Teahouse at the East Fourth Archway. After the leader Xu Xun said this, he saw that the people in front of him nodded repeatedly, and he said:
"The ministers have the concerns of the ministers, so they are so mature that they even want to protect people like Liu Wentai, which is tantamount to setting a bad rule. If the Xian Temple collapsed back then, they would have cleaned up the Imperial Hospital. Where would there be any leftovers?
What's the situation like now? This time, Brother Xu's article was so powerful that the British public praised it, so he sent it without changing a word. If His Highness the Crown Prince sees it, he will definitely praise it.
"Xu Xun saw that Xu Zhenqing wanted to be humble when he spoke, so he waved his hand and said: "Now the day for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne has been set. On May 18th, as usual, the Emperor will ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world. But His Highness the Crown Prince has already said that, such as Liu Wentai and others
There will be no pardon. In addition, Zheng Wang and others who were previously sentenced will also be executed. The emperor is merciful, but he cannot be used as a bargaining chip for deception."
Since Xu Zhenqing passed the imperial examination in high school, and then studied in the Hanlin Academy, before he knew it, his fate had already taken another branching line. He was naturally full of arrogance and ambition, and he immediately said after hearing this:
"Yes, if such people do not know the canonical punishment, how can they be worthy of the Daxing Emperor who has always treated them well? His Royal Highness is wise! However, even if this success is achieved, it is just an opportunity to move a small imperial hospital, right?
"
Xu Xun laughed before he finished speaking: "You mean the thunder is louder and the rain is lighter? The next thing His Highness wants to do is to go to court early."
"ah?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Xu Zhenqing was shocked, even Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming were shocked. The court system can be said to be the foundation of foundations, and now the prince has already set his sights on it before he ascends the throne.
?And Xu Xun made a comment, but did not continue. Instead, he changed his words and asked the three of them to contact their fellow villagers from Nanzhili in the same year after they returned, and concentrate their firepower on Taiyuan Hospital first. As long as they know the rest well.
.
After meeting them, he quickly left the teahouse through the back door. Immediately a car stopped in front of him. He whispered to Jin Liu who was driving the car and ordered him to go to the British government. Xu Xun bent down and got in the car.
As soon as he sat down inside, he saw A Bao busy pouring tea and handing out towels to serve. He took the towel and wiped the sweat on his face, then smiled and said: "A Bao, I haven't seen you for the past few days, you are quite capable of doing your job."
The master said, now that Tao Hong is not around, it’s up to me to learn how to do this little thing.” Abao grinned, obviously very happy with Xu Xun’s praise. “Jin Liuye also said that the young master is busy outside all day long.
It's rare that I can serve you well in a short time, which means I have done my job well." Hearing Jin Liu coughing from outside, Xu Xun couldn't help laughing when he thought that this guy had been promoted to Jin Liuye. He started chatting a few words.
, he was just about to think about the future, when he suddenly heard a sentence from Abao.
"Master, yesterday when I went out to buy Dongbi, I saw Eunuch Du." Xu Xun was confused by what A Bao said. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which Eunuch Du?" "He's the one from Linqing Chaoguan."
That Eunuch Du...
Without mentioning it by Abao, Xu Xun had almost forgotten the eunuch Du Jin from Chaoguan whom he had met in Linqing. At that time, he couldn't stand the way this guy used other people's methods, so he teased him gently and skillfully.
, and then sold a personal relationship. However, the relationship between him and Li Rong was not harmonious, so naturally he would not remember such a person again. After thinking about it, he asked A Bao: "Are you here?"
Where did I meet him? How does he look? Is he wearing regular clothes or official uniforms?" "I met him on Xi'anmen Street. I saw that he had a good face. It should be said that he was a little proud. He was wearing a round-neck shirt.
The kind that father-in-laws often wear."
Although Abao could only provide so much information, Xu Xun already had a rough idea. It seemed that Du Jin had been transferred back to Beijing and had been promoted to a higher level without even talking about it. However, this was nothing.
He just put the important matter in his mind for the time being and didn't pay too much attention to it. When he arrived at the back door of the British Government Palace, he asked Abao to get out of the car and announced, and someone immediately came to the car to greet him.
"Mr. Xu, my Duke has already given instructions. Rong Xiao will lead you in." Because he had been given instructions earlier, the back door of the British Duke's Mansion was clean, and there was not even a single person waiting along the way. Xu Xun followed him all the way.
The steward walked around a long winding road and saw three halls hidden behind the rockery of half an acre of lotus pond. He quickened his pace. Sure enough, a book boy in front of the door opened the bamboo curtain early and bowed to give way.
He goes in.
"The British Duke is so carefree!" The British Duke Zhang Mao dropped the book and stood up with a smile: "You are very old, what else can you do if you are not carefree? This time I was instigated by you to do a big thing, I don't know what will happen.
How many people are scolding me in their stomachs!"
"That's not necessarily true. Others only blame the British Duke for being troublesome, but most of them have to give a thumbs up to praise the British Duke for not rubbing dirt in his eyes!" Xu Xun flattered Zhang Mao and raised his chin with joy.
"Besides, there are many civil and military officials in the capital, but the only one who can take the lead in this matter is the British Duke!" "I like to hear this!" Zhang Maohei
Ran smiled, waved his hand for Xu Xun to sit down, and then asked with interest, "This has been done before. You, the busiest person now, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Shouldn't this be the only thing?"
"Of course not." Xu Xun paused for a moment, and then said word by word, "The British Lord is not required to go to court every day. I think he should know the shortcomings of court meetings. He only goes to court five times a day, and the rest of the time is
The long waiting list is both lengthy and a waste of time. Therefore, His Highness has decided to change the current morning dynasty, which is more about appearance than substance, to a morning dynasty every five days." Even if the British prince is very old, this meeting
