Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Second The Change of the Great Court Meeting [3 Changes]
When Zhu Shilang heard Jiang Mian's slight cough, he couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing: "Mr. Jiang Ge is too careful. All the colleagues present here don't hate the eunuchs for taking shares. I said that Zhu Houzhao's child is a fool, how can he still do it?"
Is it wrong to accuse him?"
Jiang Mian couldn't help but smile a little bit and said: "Your Majesty was just deceived by the eunuchs. Now that His Majesty has passed away, you adults should still retain some moral integrity."
Everyone looked at each other and heard a censor say: "Everyone, the Queen Mother will host a court meeting tomorrow. It is almost certain that Your Majesty is dead, but everyone should not forget that there is another person. If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely succeed.
I'm waiting for a serious problem."
Jiang Mian nodded slowly and said: "What Mr. Zhao said is true. If I am right as I expected, the big problem that Mr. Zhao said is the eunuch Chu Yi."
Zhao Yushi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is the eunuch Chu Yi. Fortunately, this eunuch has left the capital. Otherwise, our affairs may not have been so smooth."
An official on the side sighed softly: "Although I wish that the eunuch Chu Yi died without a burial place, I have to admit that Chu Yi still has the means and ability, but it is a pity that he is murderous.
, reviled by all nations.”
Zhao Yushi looked at Jiang Mian and said: "Tomorrow at the court meeting, we must force the Queen Mother to issue an order to seize the power of Chu Yi, the eunuch, and seize the opportunity to control the military power of the capital, and then issue an order to kill Chu Yi. In this way, we will wait for
Only then can we support the new king with peace of mind!"
Muzhaigong, who had been sitting there without saying much, slowly stood up.
As Mu Zhaigong stood up, the eyes of everyone present fell on Mu Zhaigong. Although Mu Zhaigong was said to be an official, his reputation was higher than anyone else present.
Seeing Mr. Mu Zhai stand up, everyone naturally looked at Mr. Mu Zhai.
Xie Qian glanced at the crowd and slowly said: "Everyone, I won't say more if there is no need. I have done everything that should be done. Everything depends on the meeting tomorrow. Whether the big thing can be accomplished, I am here.
I’ll leave it to you here!”
With that said, Xie Qian bowed to everyone.
Everyone hurriedly avoided it, how could they dare to receive such a great gift.
When Xie Qian sat down, everyone took their seats. One of the officials said: "Muzhai Gong, King Xingxian is sick. Do we really want to support King Xingxian?"
Xie Qian smiled slightly and said: "King Xingxian is sick, isn't it a good thing for you all?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they reacted, with a look of surprise on their faces.
The emperor was sick, so naturally they, as ministers, would be able to share more power from the emperor. If a healthy and energetic emperor was diligent in governing, wouldn't it mean that they would be severely affected by the emperor?
A big constraint?
On the contrary, a sickly emperor naturally did not have much energy to deal with the affairs of the court. In this way, all the affairs of the court were naturally handled by them.
Zhao Yushi's eyes flashed brightly, he looked at Xie Qian with admiration and said: "Muzhaigong is indeed far-sighted, I can't wait!"
Xie Qian was sitting there with a smile on his face. How could his plan be like this? Why was King Xingxian chosen by him? After all, it was not that King Xingxian was sick. From his point of view, Xingxian was
Regardless of whether the king becomes the emperor, he can at least live for a few more years, but once he becomes the emperor, it will be good to have three or two years of life. The most important thing is that several of King Xingxian's children died early, leaving only one.
His son, Zhu Houcong, is less than ten years old.
Zhu Houcong, the later Emperor of Jiajing, was only a half-grown child at the moment. When a young ruler came to the court, he would naturally lead the weak and the ministers would be strong. It can be said that Xie Qian's plan was related to several emperors for decades to come. So.
To say that he is an old fox is not an exaggeration at all.
Even among the officials present, they probably realized at most that Xie Qian chose King Xingxian as the new king because King Xingxian was sick, but no one realized that Xie Qian even included King Xingxian's youngest son in his conspiracy.
.
One night passed, but I didn't know how many secrets were hidden in this dark night.
A red sun rises slowly, and a new day begins.
The people in the capital were surprised to find that there were many official sedans on the streets, and these sedans were heading straight to the Forbidden City one by one.
There are well-informed people who have gotten the news early and show off the information they have got to the people around them.
"I don't know, the Queen Mother sent a decree to summon all the officials in the capital to hold a court meeting, so these adults rushed to the Forbidden City one by one!"
"No, shouldn't the emperor personally preside over this great court meeting? Why did the Queen Mother come forward?"
Many people showed doubts.
The man said with a complacent expression: "Don't you know that rumor? Your Majesty is probably seriously ill. Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother preside over the meeting..."
Many people looked horrified.
There are many smart people in the capital, and many people subconsciously think that they have seen through the truth.
At this time, the palace gate has not yet opened, but a large number of civil and military officials from the DPRK and China have gathered in front of the palace gate early.
Each of these officials was neatly dressed and looked like a beast. At this time, they were subconsciously gathering together with the officials close to them and talking in low voices.
Just from the subconscious gathering of the officials present, it can be seen that these officials may be roughly divided into several parts, one of which is obviously headed by Jiao Fang, who is called the eunuch party in the court. There are not too many or too many, but most of them are in control.
Holding real power in the DPRK.
The other group numbered nearly a hundred people, accounting for almost 30% to 40% of all officials, but they were headed by Jiang Mian and others.
At this moment, these officials were all arrogant, and when they looked at Jiao Fang and others, they couldn't help showing ridicule and disdain in their eyes.
If the emperor really dies, then after today, Jiao Fang and others will definitely be unlucky.
In addition, there is the largest group among the many officials present. These officials are the officials who maintain neutrality between the DPRK and China.
At least hundreds of officials are gathered here at this moment, and a steady stream of officials are coming from all around.
If it were an ordinary morning court, naturally so many officials would not be able to come, but this time it was a great court meeting, especially since the Queen Mother personally issued an order that officials of seventh grade and above in the capital must come, so where
At least hundreds of people gathered in front of the palace gate.
As the palace door slowly opened, a group of officials slowly walked into the Forbidden City and rushed towards the Fengtian Palace.
The Fengtian Hall was built during the Yongle period, and was renamed the Huangji Hall during the Jiajing Period, and the Taihe Hall during the Qing Dynasty.
Fengtian Hall was the place where court meetings were held during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is also known as the Jinluan Hall. It is one of the three great halls in the East and is full of solemnity.
A group of civil and military officials slowly walked into the huge Fengtian Hall with solemn expressions. The extremely spacious hall did not seem crowded even if it could accommodate hundreds of people.
Civil and military personnel were lined up on both sides. Not long after, they saw a group of chambermaids. The maids slowly drove in, surrounded by the Queen Mother, and were guarded by the palace guards.
The Queen Mother, dressed in a rich attire, slowly walked into the Fengtian Palace. Then, under the attention of all the civil and military ministers, the Queen Mother slowly climbed up the imperial steps and sat down on a throne next to the emperor's throne.
When the emperor passed away, the Queen Mother presided over the court meeting. She was qualified to sit on the throne, but she sat on the edge.
Although it was said that many civil and military ministers had doubts in their hearts when they saw this situation, after the Queen Mother sat down, the chamberlain accompanying the Queen Mother screamed: "Everyone bows down!"
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty slowly kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, waved her hands and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me!"
After all the civil and military officials saluted, they slowly stood up and looked solemnly at the Queen Mother who was sitting there.
I heard the Queen Mother slowly say: "The Ai family is coming to court today. Do you have any important matters in your family?"
The critical moment has arrived, and in an instant, the entire Fengtian Hall can be said to be silent, so quiet that you can almost hear your own breathing.
But soon, Jiang Mian, who was standing among a group of officials, glanced at several of them.
The officials received the signal from Jiang Mian's eyes. One of them stepped forward and respectfully saluted the Queen Mother: "Report to the Queen Mother, I have something to report!"
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said: "Qing family, please speak!"
This official was none other than Zhao Yushi who appeared at Jiang Mian's mansion. Zhao Yushi looked solemn and said: "I heard that your majesty has been unconscious for several days. I was very frightened. Your majesty is blessed with great blessings.
Freedom is blessed by God, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Majesty has no heirs, so that the position of the East Palace is vacant, which makes the people of the imperial court panic. I sincerely request the Queen Mother to put the country and the country first and choose a prince to bring peace to the people of the world.
heart of!"
Saying this, Yushi Zhao fell to the ground.
Only Zhao Yushi's voice echoed in the hall, and there was silence all around.
The Queen Mother sat there with an expressionless face. No one could tell what the Queen Mother's emotions were. After a while, she heard the Queen Mother's cold voice say: "Gentlemen, do you have anything to say?"
At this moment, Jiao Fang saw a look of amusement on the faces of Jiang Mian and others and couldn't help but take a deep breath, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I think that Zhao Yushi's words are actually treasonous and unethical. Please also ask
The Empress Dowager will punish you severely, and only in this way can the civil and military sentiments of the DPRK and China be stabilized."
Zhao Yushi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and sneered at Jiao Fang with disdain: "Master Chief Assistant, you are such a slanderous person, I will not accept it!"
As he said this, Yushi Zhao said to the Queen Mother: "Please give me a clear warning from the Queen Mother. My loyalty to the court will be revealed to the sun and the moon. Your Excellency, the First Assistant, is slandering the official. I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for the official!"
The Queen Mother frowned, looked at Jiao Fang and said: "Mr. Jiao Ge, since you said that Zhao Yushi was treasonous, do you have any evidence?"
