Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven: Country Country, Country Before Home!
This...
There was a long silence in the hall, and the elders looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with it for a moment.
Yes, who should I send?
The first person to go was Hu Ming, the Minister of Rites and the most senior minister in the imperial court.
So who will be sent this time?
With a high official position, let’s not talk about whether he can be found. Even if he can be found, he must be a high-ranking and powerful person who abandons all his government affairs and goes to greet the Supreme Emperor?
If his official position is lowered, the Supreme Emperor will be even more angry.
You can't really let the emperor go to Xuanfu in person, right?
A group of elders in the cabinet were choked by the emperor's words and were speechless. The emperor did not embarrass them too much, but turned to Hu Hui beside him and asked.
"How about Mr. Hu make another trip?"
Mr. Hu was watching the show on the sidelines when he was suddenly asked a question. He blinked his eyes and seemed to have become much older in an instant and said.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that I have more than enough ambition but not enough strength. When I went to the Xuan Mansion this time, I thought of all the ways I could think of, but the knot in the heart of the Supreme Emperor cannot be untied... Alas, I am incompetent, please punish me."
Suddenly, a sad atmosphere suddenly filled the hall, making people want to cry.
Hu Xi looked like he had been greatly wronged.
Zhu Qiyu also didn't expect it. Then, he seemed to see Mr. Hu glancing at the memorial on the table from the corner of his eyes. Then he remembered and picked up the memorial and read it again.
After reading it, sure enough...
Sincere and full of sadness!
The Minister of Rites is also a master of writing articles.
Zhu Qiyu sighed and said, "I have wronged you on this trip. In this case, please go back home and rest first."
"I accept the decree!"
Mr. Hu immediately became energetic, stood up quickly, turned around and walked out of the palace door.
When the old man's clothes disappeared, a group of cabinet ministers didn't even react.
Immediately afterwards, a chamberlain sent Hu Hui's memorial to them.
With doubts and curiosity, the elders quickly got together and read the memorial.
What is written above is exactly all Hu Xi's experiences after arriving at Xuanfu. It is written in great detail, even the language used by the host and the reactions of others are described one by one.
After reading it, the elders looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment...
The writing style of the memorial is naturally excellent, and it makes people feel as if they are immersed in the scene.
The content is also very touching.
Through this memorial, the elders seem to have seen Hu Hui's sad expression in the palace of the Xuanfu, resolute and solemn bowing and knocking three times and nine times. They seem to have seen the hero of the old minister in his old age, with a desolate back. They seem to have seen how the eldest uncle mediates between the two sides.
, moved with emotion, enlightened with reason, and earnestly advised the Supreme Emperor...
Even a hard-hearted person cannot help but be moved by such a scene.
However……
Thinking of the figure of Mr. Hu who just slipped away quickly, the sad scenes described in this memorial suddenly collapsed again.
However, in any case, most of the contents in this memorial should be true.
With this memorial as a foundation, no one can say that Hu Hui did not work hard enough.
Moreover, according to the memorial, when he was in Xuan Mansion, the eldest uncle even said that he was ashamed of the late emperor and wanted to become an official. The emperor was still indifferent. So if he asked the old man to welcome him again, he would have turned against him.
.
Why, if you can’t just talk about it, do you have to let Mr. Hu really resign?
Therefore, this road is broken!
So, the question is back to the original point, who should be sent there?
The elders were worried for a while.
Finally, at this moment, the emperor spoke.
"Gentlemen, there is no need to worry. The Supreme Emperor has been in Yibei for a year and was still able to welcome back the Ming Dynasty. Now he has only been in Xuanfu for a few days. Please wait patiently and he will eventually come back."
"Perhaps you don't know that just this morning, the eunuch in charge of the Notre Dame Palace, Wang Jin, has personally rushed to the Xuan Mansion with the Notre Dame's decree. Perhaps, with the arrival of the decree, the Supreme Emperor will be able to change his mind?"
The Queen Mother's edicts generally involve inner palace affairs, so under normal circumstances, there is no need to pass the six subjects and only need to be recorded in the inner court.
Therefore, several ministers in the cabinet are indeed unclear about this matter.
What's more, even if the Queen Mother sent someone there, was it really to invite the Emperor?
The elders were still hesitant and wanted to say something, but they couldn't think of any other way for a while, so they just stood there.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu rubbed his forehead and asked as if he remembered something.
"Cheng Jing, there is news from the former military department, where is Mr. Yu now?"
In such occasions, Cheng Jing has always been very aware of his own weight. He would never say a word about government affairs without being asked by the emperor.
But since the emperor asked a question, he was able to answer immediately, bow slightly and say respectfully.
"Back to Your Majesty, after Yu Shaobao accompanied the Supreme Emperor in Tumubao to pay homage to the dead officers and soldiers, he rushed back to Datong, stayed in Datong for a day, and then rushed to Gansu for inspection. At this moment, he should still be in Gansu."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.
"Well, I'll send an order to Mr. Yu, asking him to rush to the Xuan Mansion immediately to take charge of the Emperor's affairs in the Xuan Mansion. He must try to persuade the Emperor to leave as soon as possible."
Cheng Jing bowed to receive the order.
Then, Zhu Qiyu turned around, looked at the group of ministers below helplessly, and asked.
"Gentlemen, is this appropriate?"
There was a bit of emotion in these words, which made the cabinet bosses a little afraid to accept them.
However, there is no doubt that the emperor did show his sincerity.
Since Hu Xi can no longer go, then in the imperial court, those who can rival him in status are either Wang Wen, the Minister of Personnel, or Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Wang Wen... don’t mention it!
After counting, Yu Qian is still the most suitable.
Bracing himself, Wang Ao glanced at Yu Shiyue, and the two of them said together.
"Your Majesty is saintly and benevolent, and I admire you all!"
Logically speaking, this matter should end here.
However, they bowed down and bowed down, but received no response from the emperor for a long time.
After a long time, the waists of the elders all felt a little sore, and then the emperor's calm voice came from above, but this calmness was different from the past, with a hint of coldness.
The Emperor said: "Perhaps there are speculations and rumors among the people in the capital and the court about the Supreme Emperor. Especially after the memorial from the Xuanfu arrives, I'm afraid there will be even more heated discussions."
"However, what I want to tell these gentlemen is that Shu Liang behaved inappropriately, but his mistake was making a fuss out of a molehill. His mistake was that he broke into the palace without permission in order to arrest Liu Yongcheng."
"However, it was the Emperor's intention to commemorate the dead officers and soldiers in the Tumu Fort. It was an act by the Emperor to express his gratitude to all the people! It was Liu Yongcheng who colluded with the accompanying guards to prevent the Emperor from going to pay homage for his own selfish interests. Therefore, Shu Liang had no choice but to take action for the safety of the Emperor. Prevent."
"The country, the country, is in front of the family. It enjoys the country's eternity. It has to shoulder the responsibilities of the country and has experienced many things. I think the Supreme Emperor has understood this. I wonder if you gentlemen, maybe you understand?"
After the words fell, Wang Ao, Yu Shiyue and others were all shocked.
The emperor’s words have a profound meaning!
So, they finally understood why the emperor did not shy away from them at all when he summoned Hu Hui and Shu Liang.
Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while!
