At this time, Wang Zaijin, Xu Guangqi and others were extremely happy.
Although Lu Xiangsheng's relationship with them was not very good, he even opposed and questioned their decisions on certain matters.
But at this moment, there is no doubt that their considerations and opinions on the matter of establishing a reserve are the same.
That is Zhu Changhao, the supervisor who supported the emperor's personal appointment and was preparing to succeed the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
But before they said a word, Lu Xiangsheng was already speechless and Zhang Ruitu was speechless.
"Everyone, although Lu Xiangsheng has a low official rank and a low-key reputation, he is also a subject of the Ming Dynasty and a subject of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Although the following offends the above, I dare to guarantee it with my life. What I said today is absolutely out of public interest and is for the future of our Ming Dynasty."
"I recommend recommending His Royal Highness Jianguo as the crown prince to inherit the throne."
After saying this, Lu Xiangsheng bowed to the officials from all directions, and then slowly walked aside.
Lu Xiangsheng's words have shown his firm support for the supervision of the country.
Naturally, everyone understood that His Majesty was still alive, and Lu Xiangsheng was also a favored minister whom His Majesty valued.
Although his official position is low, no one really looks down upon him.
Zhang Ruitu's incompetence and rage also made some officials who had the same idea as him or planned to stand with him.
At this time, they also stopped moving forward, looking at each other without making a sound at all, they were still waiting and watching.
If they take the wrong side at this time, it will mean that their career will come to an end, and they may even have to be liquidated, putting their lives in danger.
No one dares to gamble with their career or life on an uncertain outcome.
"What Jiandou said is right. According to my opinion, His Royal Highness Jianguo is the most suitable successor to the throne."
"His Royal Highness, Jianguo, has already become familiar with the affairs of the imperial court. He has lived in the capital for a long time, and has a sufficient understanding of some of the imperial court's policies."
"Secondly, with the current situation of our Ming Dynasty, we really can't make any mistakes, let alone be without a king for a day."
"The disasters in Shaanxi and Shandong are still continuing, and there are tens of thousands of troops in Yunnan fighting the rebellion. Now we have reached the most critical moment."
Xu Guangqi's statement also made the balance of this stalemate begin to tilt.
As the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, his opinions and attitudes naturally carry great weight.
Not to mention the support of Wang Zaijin, a cabinet minister and Minister of War, as well as the Minister of Military Affairs.
After the two made their stance clear, some officials present echoed their stance.
Even Wang Zhong, the mastermind behind this, chose to side with them.
For him, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. What matters is that the emperor must not be what he is now.
Seeing that his plan was getting further and further away from reality, Zhang Ruitu felt extremely anxious.
Whether he can move forward and gain higher status and political capital depends on today.
Therefore, he was also cruel and gritted his teeth and said:
"How can such a major matter be decided so hastily?"
"I am not against His Royal Highness Jianguo's succession to the throne, but rather that Guangfan serves as the governor, in line with the ancestral precepts of Emperor Gao, and in line with the hearts of all people in the world."
"You may wish to think about it, since the Qin and Han dynasties, in all the dynasties that have peacefully succeeded to the throne, which one is not succeeded by the son after the death of the father, or by the brother after the death of the brother?"
"What's more, Emperor Gao had already established such ancestral precepts as early as the founding of the country?"
"Guangfan is the most orthodox successor. If you don't support Guangfan, you can choose people from other sects."
"Let's not talk about how the people of the world view it. Even the other sects and vassals, how can they be convinced?"
"Don't forget, everyone, there are dozens of vassal kings in our Ming Dynasty. If they are not convinced, will the country of the Ming Dynasty be stable?"
After saying this, Zhang Ruitu tossed his sleeves and robe and walked aside, thinking to himself:
Since you can't successfully support King Guang, I will find another way. It depends on whether you dare to offend dozens of feudal kings.
And his words did have some effect. After all, this was a bad rule.
Isn't this the reason for the change of seizing the door?
The cabinet colluded with Yu Qian and others, and even abandoned the legitimate heir, Emperor Xianzong, who had long been established as crown prince.
He went to establish a vassal king who could not be beaten with eight poles as the supervisor of the country, and supported him from the position of supervisor to the emperor's throne.
Even when Emperor Jing was seriously ill, Yu Qian still refused to give up and even wanted to abandon the orthodox heir again and establish Xiangfan's son as emperor.
What was the result? Wasn't it snatched away by Emperor Yingzong?
And among those officials and ministers who supported the establishment of Emperor Jing, which one was not liquidated?
Especially Yu Qian, he was the first person killed after Yingzong was restored to power.
And how similar is the current scene to that then?
"Uncle Zong has this concern, so we naturally have to consider it."
"But at this critical moment, it is already too late to solicit the opinions of the vassals."
"If that time really comes, we will explain the whole story to each vassal, and I think they will understand."
Wang Zaijin did not expect that he would react so quickly and actually bring out those sects who had always had a very low sense of presence to speak out. Therefore, he seemed a little unprepared, so he just had to deal with it first.
Naturally, it was impossible for Zhang Ruitu to regress. Zongfan was his last trump card. If he could not use this to support Guangfan, he would really have nothing to do.
"I don't agree with what Grand Sima said. It's true that vassals are granted to various provinces and places, but the crown prince of Qin and Jin are currently in the capital."
"Qin Fan is our first vassal in the Ming Dynasty. Qin Fan and Jin Fan are also the sects of Ling and Zongzheng. Since the two highnesses are the princes of the two vassals, why don't we ask their opinions before making a decision?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ruitu winked at his confidant.
After realizing what Zhang Ruitu meant, this person immediately echoed the idea. Seeing that no one objected, he recommended himself to the palace to invite the two princes into the palace.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhang Ruitu also swept away the anger and depression that Lu Xiangsheng had just provoked.
The other officials were silent, and even Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Zaijin and others did not refute.
The inner hall of Qianqing Palace, filled with officials, fell into an eerie silence.
Zhu Youxiao, who was in the Nuan Pavilion, was not concerned about this at all. He was looking through Qin Liangyu's victory report and the progress of the war.
Among them is the memorial to impeach Duke Mu Changzuo of Guizhou.
Mu Changzuo also filed a memorial not long ago to impeach Qin Liangyu.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao only felt that one was as big as the other.
This was the reason why he wanted to conquer Monan and Southwest in person despite the opposition of all the people and the objections of the court officials.
People are more or less selfish. No matter what means Zhu Youxiao uses to control his people, it will consume a huge amount of energy.
It is impossible for him to judge who is right and who is wrong by reading two memorials.
But the war was urgent, and he could only try his best to balance the two sides and prevent the situation from getting worse.
He didn't want what happened during the Chongzhen period to happen again here.
