In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Tinghe received Mao Cheng's report. He was surprised at first, and then angry. It was really shameless for Zhu Houcong to be awkward at this time.
In order to have the new emperor ascend the throne as soon as possible, Yang Tinghe has made all preparations. As soon as Zhu Houcong entered the capital, he moved into the Wenhua Palace and chose a day to ascend the throne according to the etiquette of a crown prince. During this period, Yang Tinghe will also follow this emperor well.
Teenagers talk about some things, confirm and control some things.
Zhu Houcong had been delayed for too long on his way to Beijing and had to complete the ceremony of entering the palace and enthroning the throne as soon as possible.
A few days ago, the captain from the Jinyiwei Local Guard Station in Bian Town had reported the news that Zhang Yanling was leading the cavalry into the country and was heading towards the capital. It can be said that now it is tantamount to competing with Zhang Yanling for time. We must hurry up before Zhang Yanling
Before coming back, complete the coronation ceremony of the new emperor and make everything a done deal.
At this juncture, Zhu Houcong came to make trouble, which of course made Yang Tinghe extremely annoyed.

From Yang Tinghe's point of view, Zhu Houcong should be so grateful that he rushed to the capital. His position as emperor belongs to a golden doll that fell from the sky, and it was a big bargain. If he hadn't been able to do it, he, Zhu Houcong, wouldn't have been able to do so.
It is possible to become a candidate. You must know that the two candidates originally proposed by the Queen Mother and the principles for selecting them have nothing to do with Zhu Houcong and others.
Among the several candidates, the most suitable one was actually Zhu Houye. He was a young man with a weak title and a virtuous name. He was actually the best candidate. But such a person was obviously not what Yang Tinghe needed. This Zhu Houye was already a young man and had become an adult.
It will be difficult to manipulate easily in the future. Therefore, Mr. Ma from the official department came forward to install a suspected epilepsy condition, but it was completely rejected.
In the end, Zhu Houcong was chosen simply because he was of the right age. At the same time, Prince Xing’s palace was far away in Anluzhou, a small mountain town in Hubei Province. His Highness, Prince Xing, indulged in the mountains and rivers and stayed aloof from the world. The eldest son of Prince Xing’s palace probably hadn’t seen too many of them.
Maybe he likes writing, drawing and other things like his father. Otherwise, he is just like the children in the local mountains and fields.
This is completely in line with Yang Tinghe's requirements for the candidate of the future emperor. The new emperor himself must be moderately controlled by him. His Highness Prince Xing is not a political figure, and he will not cause any big waves. As for how much he knows and understands Zhu Houcong.
Recognition is completely out of the question.
To be precise, Yang Tinghe only has two requirements for the candidate of the new emperor. One is that he cannot be Zhu Houzhao's junior. The other is that he meets his requirements for the new emperor. It can be said that anyone who meets these two conditions will be Yang Tinghe's
Within the range of choices, anyone could become the emperor. It can only be said that Zhu Houcong was lucky enough to become this lucky person.
The second condition is not difficult to understand. But for the first condition, many people may not quite understand why Yang Tinghe refused to choose a junior member of the royal family, Zhu Houzhao, to inherit the throne. This contains the inner feelings of Yang Tinghe and even many civil servants in the outer court.
Hidden dark and vicious thoughts.
Emperor Hongzhi was a good emperor. This was the consensus of the civil service group. Naturally, this was because Zhu Youtang was very courteous to the civil service group, respected and valued them. Major matters in the DPRK were basically decided in consultation with the cabinet and foreign court officials.
It can be said that the rise of civil servants during the Hongzhi Dynasty benefited from the emperor's connivance and courtesy. The civil servants lived a quite comfortable and happy life during the Hongzhi Dynasty. They were basically able to control the government to a certain extent.
, participate in decision-making and influence the emperor's decision. This is also part of the goal they diligently pursue.
The ultimate goal of the civil servant group is to make the Ming Dynasty the same situation as the Song Dynasty, with monarchs and ministers co-governing, and imperial power and scholar-bureaucrats sharing the world. The status of scholars should be the highest, and the status of civil servants should be the highest.
Originally, this goal had been gradually realized during the Hongzhi period. Unfortunately, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly passed away and was replaced by Zhu Houzhao. The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse and turned into something unexpected.

First of all, the behavior of this new emperor was very different from that of the previous emperor. He was playful, lazy, dissolute, paranoid, rebellious, and incompetent. To describe it, people in the civil service group said privately not long after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne.
: Looking not like a human ruler is a sign of the decline of the country.
On this point alone, there was already a strong contrast with Zhu Youtang. This made the civil servants who were already deeply saddened by Zhu Youtang's death miss the late emperor even more.
Of course, the civil service group also hoped that their influence could reverse the situation, so the three ministers of the Gu Ming Cabinet, headed by the ministers, and the other ministers jointly launched an action to impeach the Eight Tigers and related persons.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others originally thought that by gathering the civil servants from the outer court to work hard, they would be able to reverse the situation. Once the Eight Tigers were eliminated, and the traitors around the emperor were eliminated, they would slowly correct themselves and get back on track. But how could they?
It is conceivable that this impeachment was not only unsuccessful, but also caused the collapse of the outer court, and the people were demoted to death, and ended up with chickens and dogs flying around.
After the impeachment of the Eight Tigers incident, in the minds of the civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats in the outer court, Zhu Houzhao was already synonymous with the faint king and the enemy of scholars. They missed Zhu Youtang even more from the bottom of their hearts and refused to admit that Zhu Houzhao was the emperor.
emperor.
It was from that time that a large number of poems and articles praising Zhu Youtang appeared, and various black materials about Zhu Houzhao were also circulated between the government and the public. If it were not for the suppression by the two major spy agencies, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, I am afraid that there would be no news about Zhu Houzhao.
There will be mountains of black material.
Yang Tinghe witnessed all this with his own eyes. When he first served as a lecturer in the East Palace, he actually knew Zhu Houzhao better than others. The more he knew Zhu Houzhao, the more he disliked him.
.
After the failure to impeach the Eight Tigers, Yang Tinghe began to turn from an idealistic foreign court official into a black man. He learned many things from his mentor Li Dongyang, but what he carried forward most was that he used unscrupulous means. Li Dongyang's unscrupulous means had a bottom line.
, and Yang Tinghe has no bottom line.
In Yang Tinghe's mind, everything in the court was caused by Zhu Houzhao, including the death of his mentor. He hated and hated Zhu Houzhao in his heart, believing that it was his perverse behavior that caused the Ming Dynasty to turn towards the idealized court expected by the civil servants.
Development. A glorious future was right in front of us, but now it was smashed to pieces by Zhu Houzhao and his minions.
Not only did he harm his mentor and officials in the foreign court, but he also ruined himself. He had to abandon his moral bottom line and embark on a dirty and unclean road to power. He attributed all of this to Zhu Houzhao.

In these days, how can we relieve our hatred of someone? That is to erase all traces of him, so that he will have no traces during his lifetime and no heirs after his death.
Zhu Houzhao had no heirs. It was impossible for Yang Tinghe to let people inherit Zhu Houzhao's imperial heir and continue Zhu Houzhao's imperial lineage, even if there was no blood connection. Only by completely obliterating Zhu Houzhao's imperial lineage could he relieve the hatred in his heart. Therefore, Yang Tinghe and Ning
I would like to be so eloquent that I brought out the old records, the ancestral teachings of the emperor who was the great ancestor more than a hundred years ago, and the brothers and sisters, and persuaded the queen mother who was not sensitive to this.
He would rather establish an heir for Zhu Youtang than to establish an heir for Zhu Houzhao.
If you think about it carefully, you will realize that this is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Emperor Hongzhi did not have an heir, he did have a son. Yang Tinghe took the trouble to choose an heir for him. But now it is Zhu Houzhao who died, and the new emperor will inherit the throne of Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao has no heir. How can I say this?
The person who ascended the throne should be the emperor's heir who succeeded Zhu Houzhao.
Regarding Zhu Houzhao, Yang Tinghe would not only not allow him to become an heir to the emperor, but would also try to reduce the length of his presence in the royal records as much as possible, and would try to record some of his misdeeds that caused anger and resentment. This should be done both physically and mentally.
Erase this person.
This is the evil intention of Yang Tinghe. He is not the only one. Some scholars represented by him have the same attitude and heart. Yang Tinghe is just their spokesperson.
This is why, even though they knew that this method of establishing an heir was subject to discussion, none of the civil servants in the DPRK or China raised any objections, and all of them pretended not to know.
After learning that Zhu Houcong refused to come to Beijing, Yang Tinghe decided to personally beat the future emperor. At this time, he started to lose his temper. How would he control him in the future? This is absolutely unacceptable.
In the afternoon of that day, Yang Tinghe took his people and set off for Liangxiang County. In the middle of the night, they arrived at the wedding camp in Liangxiang County. Regardless of exhaustion and hard work, Yang Tinghe decided to give Zhu Houcong a warning. He ordered people to inform Zhu Houcong that he wanted to
See him.
It was midnight, and Yang Tinghe didn't care whether Zhu Houcong slept or not, but he still wanted to pull him up to see him and let him know that he had no right to mess around.
