Yang Tinghe walked out slowly, waved his hands to everyone, and said in a deep voice: "My lords, we will only talk about business today, not gossip. The Queen Mother has made it very clear. Today we will only talk about the continuation of the Ming Dynasty and the accession of the new emperor to the throne.
This matter is a top priority. After the enthronement ceremony was stopped by King Jinghai yesterday, I also did some reflection. Today, I am willing to apologize to King Jinghai and give a formal explanation in front of all the civil and military officials."

All the ministers were surprised when they heard this. Yang Tinghe said that he wanted to apologize and explain to Zhang Yanling. What was the reason? Could it be that Yang Shoufu also thought that Zhang Yanling's actions were right?
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Yang Tinghe turned around and walked towards Zhang Yanling, stood a few steps away, and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, King Jinghai, please accept my courtesy from Yang Tinghe. Tinghe would like to sincerely apologize to you for some things that happened before. Tinghe really did not consider some things and acted inappropriately. Please forgive Tinghe for his inappropriate actions."
It’s a mistake.”
Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "Yang Shoufu, what tricks are you doing?"
Yang Tinghe sighed: "King Jinghai, I know that you are angry. It's all because of Tinghe's failure to think carefully. The emperor suddenly encountered a disaster, like a jade mountain collapsing, and the pillars of heaven falling down. He was up and down and he didn't know what to do.
Well, our Ming Dynasty suffered a big crisis. At this time, Ting He Zi
Of course, he had to stand up and make some decisions. Alas, it was Ting He who was too panicked. He was worried that sending the news to the army of the two princes, King Jinghai and King Zhenbei, who were fighting against the Tatars, would affect the two princes.
It is a major event to fight the Tatars. At this time, what I am most afraid of is that since there are internal worries,
There was another foreign invasion, and they were worried that once the news spread to the army, if the army was defeated, it would be an irremediable situation. Therefore, Ting Hecai decided to block the news and did not send anyone to inform the two princes of the emperor's death. Because of this
, which caused King Jinghai to misunderstand, thinking... that it was us on purpose.
Concealing the news of the emperor's death was in response to King Jinghai's behavior. This matter was indeed Ting He's fault. The emperor and King Jinghai had a very deep friendship as monarchs and ministers, and King Jinghai was the mainstay of the court, both in public and private matters, and I should not have done so.
The person who concealed this matter was Ting He's lack of consideration, and Ting He sincerely apologized to King Jinghai."
Zhang Yanling sneered in his heart. He had already heard the intention of Yang Tinghe's words and the reason why he suddenly wanted to apologize to himself. There was no need to expose him. Let's see how he pretended. It was just like watching a monkey show.
Yang Tinghe bowed to Zhang Yanling in a very sincere manner. Seeing this, the officials all thought: Yang Shoufu is really a broad-minded person. It turned out that Zhang Yanling was angry because the news of the emperor's death was concealed, so he deliberately
Sabotage the new emperor's coronation ceremony. This is really narrow-minded. Yang Shoufu's original intention was to worry about the morale of the army being shaken and affecting the morale of the army. This is the real overall situation and comprehensive consideration.
"Yang Shoufu does not need to apologize to Zhang Yanling for this. That matter was decided by the Aijia and the important ministers after discussion. They were worried that the morale of the army would be shaken and ruin the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition was the major event that the emperor was most concerned about during his lifetime, and he certainly did not want the Northern Expedition to be large.
because
In order to get the bad news, they were demoralized and suffered a defeat. This matter was allowed by the Ai family. Zhang Yanling, if you are angry because of this, just come and blame the Ai family. It has nothing to do with Yang Shoufu." Empress Dowager Zhang behind the screen said coldly.
Ran said.
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, please don't say any more. I am the chief minister of the cabinet. This matter is naturally my decision. How can I let the Queen Mother take the responsibility? King Jinghai, Tinghe did not consider this matter thoroughly. I am
I sincerely apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."
Zhang Yanling was very angry. At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe protected each other. It would be fine if they didn't know their relationship. Knowing the relationship between the two made Zhang Yanling feel sick in her heart. Zhang Yanling could also see it.
Yes, Zhang
After the Queen Mother completely fell out yesterday, she has no scruples today. She knows that she will not reveal what happened between her and Yang Tinghe in public, so she has no intention of covering it up. Between Yang Tinghe and herself, the Queen Mother has already made a decision
Yang Tinghe hunched over and kept his bow motionless, waiting for Zhang Yanling's answer. The officials also looked at Zhang Yanling and thought: Yang Shoufu is already so generous, King Jinghai will not deny him face.
Zhang Yanling looked at Yang Tinghe who was hunched over in front of him, and said calmly: "Yang Tinghe, if you sincerely apologize, please kowtow to me."
There was a buzz in the hall, and the ministers shook their heads and smacked their lips, reprimanding Zhang Yanling in low voices for being rude. Yang Tinghe was already so humble, and he actually asked Yang Tinghe to kowtow to him and apologize. This was a public humiliation, and it was simply unreasonable.
With a faint smile on his lips, Yang Tinghe slowly stood up straight. This was the effect he wanted. The more arrogant and rude Zhang Yanling was, the less opposition there would be and the less pressure he would have when he was arrested later.
"It's not difficult to kowtow, but you have to say it clearly. I, Yang Tinghe, except for the Lord and Master of Heaven and Earth, no one wants me to kneel to him. But if it is for the purpose of important court affairs, let alone two kowtows to King Jinghai, it is just one kowtow.
A thousand, I, Yang Tinghe, am willing to do so." Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "It's just a kowtow. It's like going to the execution ground to be beheaded and saying some righteous and awe-inspiring words. You have to apologize to me sincerely. I understand sincerity to kowtow twice. You don't want to do it."
That’s okay, there’s so much to talk about.”
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "As long as King Jinghai no longer obstructs the new emperor's ascension to the throne, Tinghe will kowtow to you. I hope King Jinghai will not be dissatisfied because we did not notify you of the emperor's death in time, thereby obstructing it.
The new emperor's ascension to the throne. These are two different things. I didn't think carefully about the previous one, but the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a major event for the country and cannot be obstructed just because of anger. Is this what an important official of the imperial court did?"
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "The fox's tail is exposed, right? You are just deliberately throwing dirty water on me. When did I say that you stopped the new emperor's coronation ceremony because you didn't notify me in time? I made it clear yesterday
It is clear that the reason why the enthronement ceremony was stopped was because the emperor entrusted me with a dream, asking me to avenge him.
And I have the emperor's edict in hand, so I called off the enthronement ceremony. It has nothing to do with what you said. You just want to tell the officials that I, Zhang Yanling, am a coward, just because I was not informed by the emperor.
The news of his death deliberately prevented the new emperor from ascending the throne. Yang Tinghe, it is useless to play this trick with me."
Yang Tinghe chuckled, shook his head and said: "King Jinghai, why do you dare to do it but not take it seriously? This matter is obviously your dissatisfaction, but why bother to defend yourself? Who will believe your words? What kind of thing can you make up about the emperor's dream?
The reason is really ridiculous. The emperor entrusted the dream to you? Why only entrust it to you? If you want to entrust the dream to the Queen Mother, it must be entrusted to the Queen Mother. Besides, who can know such things? No one goes to take a look in your dream, how can you know?
Aren’t you just talking nonsense?”
All the officials discussed in low voices.

"Isn't it true? If you use the emperor's dream as an excuse, do you think that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are fools?"
"Perhaps in his heart, he thinks that we are all a bunch of fools. He doesn't take us seriously at all."
Yang Tinghe continued: "As for what you said about the emperor's death being too sudden, it is understandable that you are worried about someone plotting to kill the emperor. After all, this incident was too sudden, not only you, but also Manchu
The civil and military officials of the court and the people all over the world felt that it was too sudden.
It is reasonable for you to suspect that there is an inside story. But I want to tell you that after we learned the bad news, we immediately launched an investigation into this matter. The relevant people were immediately detained, and the inside and outside of the palace were also sealed. The Queen Mother was invited
Yi Zhi agreed and handed over the relevant persons to
The Ministry of Punishment and the Beizhen Fusi jointly conducted inquiries. There were also post-mortem examinations by imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to find out the cause of death of Emperor Bintian and the causes of death of the related drowning people. The relevant personnel did not sleep a wink all day and night. Hundreds of relevant people were interrogated and hundreds of confessions were obtained.
Copies. All transcripts of confessions
After checking everything, it was confirmed that the emperor had indeed drowned accidentally. The relevant results were also presented to the Queen Mother and the important ministers in the court for review. All of them had no objections. This is the real truth. It is not the so-called conjecture based on dreams, or it is simply not true.
Your excuse."
Empress Dowager Zhang spoke again from behind the screen: "Zhang Yanling, the Ai family can confirm that what Yang Shoufu said is true. After the emperor's accident, the Ai family was extremely suspicious of someone's murder. But after investigation, the confession records showed that it was indeed the case.
An accident. Aijia is the emperor’s mother. Could it be that Aijia would lie?
Success? The relevant files can give you a clear look at this matter. As Yang Shoufu said, you suspect that the cause of the emperor's death is extenuating, but everything requires evidence. Witnesses and confessions all show that it was an accident. What do you mean by the emperor's dream?
Asking you to vindicate him, in the eyes of the Ai family, is just an excuse for you to obstruct the enthronement ceremony."
Zhang Yanling frowned and was silent.
Yang Tinghe continued: "After determining the cause of the emperor's death, I dare not start organizing the funeral. King Jinghai, don't think that you are the only one who is loyal to the emperor and feels sad for the emperor's death. I, Ming Dynasty,
From top to bottom, from the Queen Mother to the officials, everyone was heartbroken.
I am deeply saddened. Your grief is understandable, but you cannot prevent the new emperor from ascending the throne. Doing so will not be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. As the brother of the Queen Mother and the emperor's uncle, you should think more about the Ming Dynasty and stabilize it as soon as possible.
Government affairs, assisting the new emperor to ascend the throne. This is the true respect for the emperor
Be loyal. Instead of taking the opportunity to prevent the new emperor from ascending the throne, interfering and acting roughly. By doing this, wouldn’t it make people think that you, King Jinghai, want to take this opportunity to do something treacherous? You even ignored the Queen Mother’s decree. Could it be that you
Do you really want to do something treacherous and unethical? I would like to advise you.
Just tell me, even if you have made many meritorious deeds for the Ming Dynasty, if you dare to have treasonous thoughts and want to be a traitor and a traitor, and disrupt our Ming Dynasty, we will never agree. If you want to rebel, then follow me first
He stepped on Yang Tinghe's body and killed us, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, first!"
Empress Dowager Zhang said solemnly from behind the screen: "Kill the Aijia first too!"
