After the emperor was buried, the struggle between the two groups became more intense.
Today is Courtiers' Day, and the central ministers gathered in the main hall of the palace to discuss the candidate for the new emperor.
The new emperor's accession to the throne is a major event, related to the fate of the country, and all the central ministers who are committed to the development of the Qianyuan Dynasty are here.
Inside and outside the main hall, Habayashi troops in military uniforms were responsible for security protection.
At the top of the palace where many ministers could not see, Yan Da, the commander of the left guard of the Yulin Army, stood tall.
His sharp eyes were like the eyes of an eagle, looking down at the entire palace.
The third-grade aura is powerful and restrained, and no one can escape his eyes.
The ministers walked into the palace one by one.
Then he consciously divided into several factions.
Forming cliques is a basic attribute of human activities. People living in this world always have their own circles.
The same goes for being an official in the court. If there are officials who share the same political views as one's own, they can go together and sit down and talk. If there are officials who oppose one's political views, they will treat them as enemies and throw stones into the well whenever they have the opportunity.
In the DPRK, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the partisan differences among the ministers are even more obvious.
It can be mainly divided into four categories.
One is the group of military attaches headed by the general, the second is the group of civil servants headed by Prime Minister You, and the third is the group of sect nobles headed by Lieutenant Rong.
The fourth is the chamberlain group headed by the eunuch Wang Xian.
In addition, there are some scattered groups that basically have no say and are not worth mentioning.
Before the new emperor ascended the throne, there were undercurrents inside and outside the divine capital.
Over the past month, countless people have lost their lives.
Now the ministers are gathered together to push this matter further.
In addition to the chamberlains, the other three groups have now recognized the timeless principle of "establishing elders as respecters".
The auspicious day is approaching, the law of the ancestral temple cannot be abolished, and the argument that "a country cannot be without an owner for a day" is noisy in the dust, and before the overwhelming trend, no human power can stop or change it.
On this day, the generals and ministers headed by Yang Ming, the general of the DPRK, all wore armor and stomach, walked with broad steps, and went to the palace with swords and shoes.
As soon as they entered the court, the group of servants headed by Wang Xian started to attack Yang Ming.
"Why did the general enter the palace with a sharp knife? Could it be that he also wanted to imitate Wanping's thieves and rebel?"
The eunuch spoke in a sharp voice and put on a big hat whenever he spoke.
After Yang Ming was slapped with a hat, he was angry in his heart, but his face was as usual, and he retorted: "I heard that there are monsters in the palace causing trouble. As a general, I kill monsters and ghosts. What's wrong with bringing a sword? I said
Do I want to stab you?"
What, you still want to stab someone?
How rampant is Thief Yang?
Wang Xian's face was livid, and he snorted coldly: "The palace is full of concubines of the late emperor, or princes and princesses, where are these evildoers? Why did the general say this?"
"There is someone in this palace who will become my new Emperor Qianyuan in the future. Are the evildoers mentioned by the general included among them?"
Wang Xian had been fighting for power in the palace for a long time and was very eloquent. Yang Ming was speechless after speaking a few words.
Yang Ming could only sneer constantly to cover up his inner embarrassment.
Someone on the side couldn't stand it any longer. Prime Minister Yu Wenyi on the right stepped forward and spoke loudly: "How can anyone say that the emperor's throne is destined to be determined by heaven? Today, the ministers of this dynasty gathered to invite the 'Supreme Tianyuan Shenzun'. It is definitely not just one word from one family."
Then you can make arbitrary conclusions about the Heavenly Seat."
Yu Wenji was white-haired and old, but he had a high prestige in the court.
Especially after the death of the emperor, many civil servants and scholars in the court were led by Yu Wenyi.
As soon as Yu Wenji opened his mouth, neither Yang Ming nor Wang Xian spoke.
After all, Yang Ming and Wang Xian are people with real power, but Yu Wenji is the one who can shut up the scholars in the world. Without Yu Wenji's support, no matter who they elect as emperor in the future, they will definitely face a lot of trouble.
War of words.
When dealing with scholars, you must avoid verbal disputes.
This was everyone's consensus, so both of them gave Yu Wenji a lot of respect.
Yu Wenji's previous attitude was not particularly clear. He seemed to support the idea of "establishing the elders as the most respected ones", but he also seemed to be interested in the "wise men come first" oral tradition passed down by the late emperor's chamberlain.
He does not express his position easily, and the presence of civil servants is not very high.
Some civil servants defected to Yang Ming's group, believing that what General Yang Ming said was orthodox and that he was the party that deserved more support.
But since Yu Wenji was present today, he had no chance to talk about him anymore and had to express his position.
So after Yuwen Yi finished speaking, Yang Ming looked at Yuwen Yi with burning eyes and said: "Prime Minister Yuwen is the elder of the three dynasties. As the saying goes, 'a country cannot live without a king for a day.' The late emperor died more than a month ago, and my Qianyuan period has not yet been decided.
Xinjun, if this matter is written down in the history of history, it will not be a glorious thing."
"Prime Minister Yuwen, tell me, how should the new emperor be established and who should he support?"
Yang Ming didn't care at all about what Yu Wenji said about "inviting the supreme Tianyuan God". This was just a necessary procedure after the new emperor ascended the throne. How could it be used as a reason?
Yu Wenji wanted to get away from this matter and maintain his aloof status as a veteran of several dynasties, but Yang Ming was unwilling to let him get away and insisted on letting him make a conclusion.
The words used are also very clever, leaving a name in the ancient history, and the dark history will be passed down to generations.
This kind of thing is what most scholars care about, so many people's faces changed after Wenchen.
Yin Yin looked at Yu Wenji, wanting to get information from Yu Wenji.
Yu Wenji glanced at Yang Ming and said indifferently: "Looking at the many princes in our dynasty, I think that one of them should be chosen as the new prince who is upright, virtuous and talented, and make him be respectful, thrifty and disciplined, diligent and caring for the people, and conscientious.
Pay attention to the way of maintaining peace and prosperity, use it to ensure that the order of the dynasty is clear and peaceful, and the people and things are prosperous..."
Scholars talk about it a lot.
Yang Ming couldn't quite understand what he was saying.
Wang Xianze couldn't help but look happy. Hearing what Yu Wenji said, he wanted to establish a "talented person", and the "talented person" was the second prince he had always recommended.
Although the eldest prince is older, in the words of the late emperor, he has no dignity as a king, which is a flaw.
Sure enough, the old man still followed the emperor and would not change the emperor's will easily. This was the key to their literati's survival.
The faces of the people in Yang Ming Group changed drastically.
Yu Wenyi defected before the battle and turned to the chamberlain group?
He has been a senator for three dynasties, so he doesn't care about his feathers, so he wants to join the eunuchs?
They couldn't believe this scene and looked at Yu Wenyi.
Yu Wenji talked a lot eloquently.
Finally, he concluded: "Therefore, I think that the eldest prince is kind-hearted, taciturn, and has great ambitions. He is actually the Mingjun of the Qianyuan Dynasty."
Yu Wenji expressed his support for the eldest prince.
Like many veterans and civil servants, Yu Wenji ultimately chose to establish himself as a leader.
Although I have said a lot, it is nothing more than these four words.
Yang Ming was immediately overjoyed.
On the other hand, Wang Xian's face turned completely gloomy, and he sneered unceremoniously: "It turns out that Prime Minister Yu Wen is also planning to disobey the late emperor's will. Is it true that there is not a single loyal minister in the civil and military affairs of this dynasty?"
He looked disappointed, as if he had heard the late emperor's last edict.
After hearing this, the people below couldn't help but feel a little shaken in their hearts.
The late emperor's remaining power is still there. If it is true, as the eunuch said, that the late emperor was planning to establish a second prince, then if they insist on establishing an eldest prince here, isn't that deceiving the emperor? Isn't it so treasonous?
Of course, Yang Ming could not let Wang Xian take the lead. He cursed angrily: "You keep talking about the late emperor's will. If you show the late emperor's edict, I will believe you."
Wang Xian sneered and said: "The late emperor was seriously ill, so how could he have the strength to write down the edict? He dictated it to me."
"Fart, the late Emperor was in his prime and died without any explanation. I haven't investigated the matter clearly yet. You monster like you are confusing the public again with your monstrous words. Do you really think that the sword in my hand is harmful to you?"
As Yang Ming spoke, he became anxious. Wu Fu's temper came out and he started to rant.
His words were vulgar. Wang Xian had never been insulted like this before. His face immediately turned red and his mouth was filled with smoke.
The two began to curse in the main hall, and when they cursed too much, Yang Ming really prepared a sword.
Fortunately, Qin Hu and others on the side stopped him, preventing Yang Ming from rushing forward.
The eunuchs beside Wang Xian also gathered around him, as well as many Yulin troops under his control. They drew their swords and rushed into the main hall. They all showed serious murderous intent and had bad intentions.
"Wang Xian, do you dare to kill the late emperor's ministers without permission?"
When Yang Ming saw this, he became more energetic. He pushed Qin Hu and others away, and opened his mouth to give Wang Xian a big hat.
Wang Xian was not prepared to kill the ministers without permission. These Yulin troops were used by him to guard the palace.
It's just that the two of them are arguing so much now that they are getting into each other's hands and even going under the knife.
This alerted the Yu Lin army ambushing outside the palace. The young eunuch under his command waved his hand, and all the Yu Lin soldiers rushed into the main hall and surrounded many ministers.
The gleaming swords, guns, swords and halberds were all filled with an icy cold air.
Wang Xian looked at the panicked ministers and felt for the first time that the power of life and death seemed to be under his control alone.
Now as long as he gives an order, anyone who disobeys will be killed.
