Those Things in the Ming Dynasty Part 3 The Evil Palace _ Chapter 20 A New Beginning
smart choice
When Zhu Houzhao died, the busiest person was Yang Tinghe.
To be fair, although Mr. Wang Shouren is a rare sage throughout the ages, he is not a figure who controls the current situation. He has been a cadre sent by the central government for a long time and basically does not hang around in the capital. Such non-staff personnel cannot really be said to be important ministers of the imperial court. In those years,
The person who truly supports the overall situation of the country is Yang Tinghe.
On that late night in March of the 16th year of Zhengde (1521), when the news of the emperor's death came, Yang Tinghe was not sad. This was not because he had no feelings for his students. In fact, he had no time to grieve at all.
.
On that stormy night, he met two panicked people, one was Gu Dayong and the other was Zhang Yong.
The purpose of their visit was very simple. They only discussed one question - who should be the emperor?
Brother Zhu Houzhao was really not interesting enough. After having enough fun, he just slapped his butt and left. You feel relieved, but you have suffered so much for the remaining brothers. With such a big stall, you should leave someone to take over!
Because he played too much, Emperor Zhu didn't give birth to a child (where did he get the time), but the Ming Dynasty could not live without an emperor. Now Zhang Yong was panicked. Although he had great power, he was only a eunuch after all. What should he do?
I had no idea and could only run to find Yang Tinghe.
Compared to their panic, Mr. Yang Tinghe was as steady as a mountain. Facing Zhang Yong's eager eyes, he just said lightly:
"When brothers come together, someone will naturally take over the throne."
So who is this person who takes over the throne?
"The son of King Xingxian, the grandson of Emperor Xianzong, the disciple of Emperor Xiaozong, and the disciple of Emperor Daxing."
Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong were relieved.
Please note that the above mentioned are not four people, but one person. After all, this family is a royal family, and the three generations of ancestors must be clearly stated. You must know that in order to verify Mr. Liu Bei’s status as King Jing of Zhongshan, the length of the genealogy found out
Comparable to college papers.
This lucky man with four identities was named Zhu Houcong. He was the Jiajing Emperor with the second longest reign in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Yang Tinghe naturally liked the successor he recommended to the throne, but soon he would change his view. Of course, this was something that would happen later.
But now, looking at Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong who were relaxed and boldly preparing to be promoted to a higher level, Yang Tinghe had a serious face:
"The matter is not over yet."
Yes, this great drama in the Zhengde period still needs the last scene to be completed.
The protagonist of this last scene is Mr. Jiang Bin. He solved Qian Ning, but failed to defeat Wang Shouren. Now he will face his new opponent-Yang Tinghe.
Soon, Yang Tinghe issued an order to disband the regiment camp formed by Zhu Houzhao and controlled by Jiang Bin, and disarmed him. Then he issued an order to let Zhang Yong, Guo Xun and others control the defense of the capital, and strictly prohibited any
Mobilization of troops.
It was obvious that something was going to happen. The capital soon fell into turmoil. Rumors were flying everywhere. Jiang Bin, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, suddenly became confused and panicked. He didn't know what to do. In desperation, he just
Able to discuss countermeasures with colleagues every day.
There seemed to be a lot of people joining in the fun. One day not long after, Zhang Hong, the governor of the capital army, suddenly went to Yang Tinghe's home late at night and reported something.
"Jiang Bin and his gang are moving around now. They may want to rebel. The chief minister must be on guard!" Zhang Hong reminded Yang Tinghe in a worried tone.
However, Yang Tinghe disagreed:
"You don't have to be afraid of Jiang Bin's rebellion. Today's decision has been made. Why will he rebel? Besides, even if he wants to rebel, his subordinates will not follow him. You are worrying too much. In my opinion, Jiang Bin will never rebel!
"
Zhang Hong looked at the resolute Yang Tinghe, sighed, and left. Behind him, seeing him off was Yang Tinghe's meaningful look.
He left Yang Tinghe's mansion, but instead of going home, he went to another person's residence - Jiang Bin.
This Zhang Hong was Jiang Bin's confidant. He was ordered to inquire about the news. Jiang Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the assurance that nothing would happen for the time being.
At the same time, Yang Tinghe called Jiang Mian and Mao Ji from the cabinet to prepare a seamless plan.
Soon, Jiang Bin received a notice that he was invited to participate in a ceremony. It turned out that the palace was going to build a project, and according to regulations, a memorial ceremony had to be held first (feudal superstition killed people), and his brother was also invited.
In Jiang Bin's opinion, this was a very honorable thing, so he went.
Mr. Jiang Bin has done many bad things in his life and harmed many people. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as full of evil. Now it is finally time to repay the principal and interest.
The wind is rustling and the water is cold. If you owe a debt, you have to pay it back.
Jiang Bin went out with a large group of entourage and went straight to the palace. However, when he arrived at the palace gate, the guard informed him that he could only go in alone to participate in the ceremony, and no other people could enter.
Jiang Bin argued for a while, but when it came to procedural regulations, he said nothing more. He left all his men behind and entered the palace alone.
It can be seen from this that Mr. Jiang Bin is really not a well-educated person. You must know that this trick has been used from ancient times to the present, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly. It is a must-have trick for palace coups, killings, and revenge. It can be used as far away as
Empress Lu, and more recently Zhu Di, were all long-term and stable users of this trick.
Now there is another name on the user list - Yang Tinghe.
Jiang Bin entered the palace, finished the ceremony, and was about to leave, but Zhang Yong suddenly stopped him and said he wanted to treat him to dinner.
Zhang Yong had to give him face, so Jiang Bin followed him, but before the dinner party, a minister suddenly jumped out halfway and said to Jiang Bin, don't leave yet. There was also a decree from the Queen Mother.
you.
Although Jiang Bin doesn't study, he's not stupid either.
Damn, he looked at Zhang Yong who had no ill intentions, then looked at the minister who was about to read out the decree, and immediately made an accurate judgment.
Jiang Bin was a military commander after all. He broke free from Zhang Yong's hand and ran away. Zhang Yong did not chase him, but just watched him coldly as he left.
Since you like sports, let me run more.
So Mr. Jiang Bin began the last long-distance run in his life. Facts have proved that although Mr. Jiang Bin often does bad things, his physical fitness is still quite good. He first ran to Xi'an Gate, but the gate was already closed. It is estimated that this brother did not
I’ve learned how to pick locks and my wall-climbing skills are not up to par. Just slap your thigh and let’s run!
Jiang Bin's long-distance running ability is really impressive. Running at full speed, he quickly ran to Bei'anmen (clockwise). When he arrived, no one checked his watch or handed him a towel, but there was a group of eunuchs waiting for him.
Hold him.
"Governor Jiang, stop running away, I have a decree for you!"
Jiang Bin actually had a sense of humor, so he replied while running:
"What else is there to do today!"
So a new scene appeared. Jiang Bin was running in front, and a group of eunuchs were chasing behind him. Mr. Jiang was probably tired from running, and he was slowly caught up by the eunuch contestants behind him. So everyone swarmed up and ended Mr. Jiang Bin's attempt to break through.
The Fantasy of Ming Dynasty Track and Field Records.
I don’t know whether the eunuchs were too excited or had psychological problems. According to historical records, Mr. Jiang Bin did not suffer much physical pain after he was arrested, but his beard was completely ripped off.
The last powerful traitor in the Zhengde period ended his life in this comic way. Overall, the performance was quite good.
Yang Tinghe finally defeated all his opponents. He indeed verified Qiu Jun's prediction. At this moment, the country is under his control alone.
For more than forty days after the death of Emperor Zhengde, there was no emperor in the Ming Empire. The only one who kept his word was Mr. Yang. He selected among the descendants of the royal family and finally found the man named Zhu Houcong.
There are two reasons for choosing this person: First, he is very close by blood and is said to be very smart and clever.
The second reason is that it is not convenient to say it. The child was only fifteen years old at the time. For Yang Tinghe, a veteran in officialdom, he was a relatively easy-to-control person.
The first half of Yang Tinghe's life was very smooth. He defeated Liu Jin and Jiang Bin, and he also gave Wang Shouren a lot of trouble. Words like old fritter and old fox are no longer enough to describe his wisdom and cunning.
But this time he miscalculated. Who said that it is easy to control someone at a young age? You must understand that the sage once said: The future generations are to be feared, how could you know that those who come are not here!
On April 23rd of the 16th year of Zhengde (1521), the slightly shy young man Zhu Houcong came to the capital and succeeded to the throne as the new emperor. The next year was changed to the first year of Jiajing, and he was named Emperor Jiajing.
The brilliant prospects and future of the invincible Mr. Yang Tinghe will be ruined in his hands.
