Chapter 1687: Internal and external troubles in Renzijuan
“I’ve met His Royal Highness King Shou.” After meeting Feng Ziying and others, Liao Junxiong already understood the current situation.
The biggest beneficiary is the biggest suspect of the assassination. From this perspective, His Royal Highness Prince Shou is probably second only to Prince Yohitada.
Because it is known in the palace that the emperor prefers Prince Lu and Prince Gong, and if nothing unexpected happens, Prince Lu is the most likely to appoint the heir apparent.
But now, as long as the emperor does not wake up, there will be no matter between Prince Lu and Prince Gong. It can only happen between Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Shou, unless other accidents happen.
"I'm going to visit my father, Sir Liao, are you going to stop me?" Zhang Chi's eyes were cold and sharp, like a thorn, which made Liao Junxiong shrink back.
"His Royal Highness wants to visit his father because of his filial piety as a son. How can the general dare to stop him?" His thoughts suddenly changed. Liao Junxiong sighed inwardly. As expected, he still did not dare. He could only say solemnly: "It's just martial law outside. It can only be carried out after the Shangsanqinjun confirms it and reports to King Zhonghui for approval. If His Highness wants to go to Dongyuan, we need to be ordered to follow him."
Zhang Chi sneered, "That's up to you."
After speaking, Zhang Chi walked away. Liao Junxiong could only use his eyes to signal his subordinates to get out of the way, and he followed with two of his confidants.
Zhang Chi didn't care either. He was going to the Dongyuan of the palace to visit his father. Naturally, it was not just a simple visit. He knew that he had to force himself to see his father. He believed that others, including his mother, should already be at the Dongyuan.
He was going to meet his mother and then look for an opportunity to discuss follow-up matters.
As expected, Zhang Chi met Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji's brothers at the gate of Dongyuan, who looked sad and angry. They were not surprised when they saw Zhang Chi arriving. They just held hands and entered the garden together.
In the Dongyuan Palace, there are already many people occupying the outside room.
In addition to Xu Dahua, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Chi also saw Chai Ke, the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs, Han Xu, the left minister of the Ministry of punishment, Wang Yongguang, the left minister of the Ministry of household affairs, Feng Ziying, the left minister of Shuntian Prefecture, and others.
Apart from these few, Zhang Chi is not familiar with the other people. He probably is not an important minister in the court, but most of them are important ministers who are admired by his father to come here. Others are not eligible to participate in the Autumn Festival of Tiewan Mountain. Could he be a local official like Feng Ziying? But there is only one Feng Ziying.
Seeing Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji come in, Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown.
This is really not the time for these people to take over their positions, but it is not easy for these people to settle down.
There is no doubt that these people must have thought that it was a critical moment and it was time to take a chance. Once Emperor Yonglong failed to wake up, it would be time to decide the winner. However, they did not know that the real designer had already Already watching with eager eyes, they didn't take them to heart at all.
Feng Ziying also just arrived and had time to talk to Chai Ke, Han Xu and Wang Yongguang.
Emperor Yonglong's conversation covered almost the entire cabinet ministers and ministers of the Seven Ministries, and of course the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
But it is obvious that he also arranged it in order. First, the cabinet ministers, then the ministers, and the ministers at the end. Chai Ke, Han Xu, and Wang Yongguang have all been here for only two days and have not had time to talk. Who can This happened when I knew it.
Feng Ziying was the most familiar with Chai Ke and had the closest relationship. She was the most unfamiliar with Han Xu and had a slight friendship with Wang Yongguang. However, both Han Xu and Wang Yongguang were the backbone of the scholars in the North, while Chai Ke was not. He is the leader of Huguang scholars, and this relationship is also very complicated.
However, at this juncture, Feng Ziying believed that the positions of the Beidi scholars and the Huguang scholars should be the same. Especially in the face of the threat that Prince Yi Zhong might seize the throne, Feng Ziying felt that it was necessary to immediately reconcile with the Lieyuan Palace. Everyone here has the same stance and decides on measures as soon as possible.
Although the cabinet ministers have not yet arrived, many instructions cannot be issued, but the opinions of these few people should be unified first. Once the cabinet ministers arrive, they can coordinate to make recommendations to the cabinet ministers, and introduce measures as quickly as possible and implement them. Implement it.
Chai Ke should be the easiest to persuade, because the two had communicated before, but Chai Ke didn't think it was possible and didn't pay much attention to it, so Feng Ziying didn't go to him first, but went to Han Xuhe directly. Wang Yongguang.
However, Wang Yongguang has always been in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he probably has not had much contact with this aspect. Feng Ziying thought that he would have to communicate more, but considering Wang Yongguang's status among the northern scholars, Feng Ziying felt that Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia and the others should get along with them.
"Han Gong, Wang Gong, what I am most worried about now is Xuanfu Town..." Feng Ziying did not hide her worries, "I have mentioned this concern to Chai Gong before, and Chai Gong agreed with my point of view. I believe you all understand who is standing behind Niu Jizong. Before, everyone thought I was unfounded, but today I want to say that unfounded worries have become the most urgent threat."
Han Xu and Wang Yongguang were silent.
They all felt it was difficult to answer Feng Ziying when he came up and raised such a slightly scary topic.
Yes, now that the emperor is in a coma, Prince Yi Zhong must have some ideas. Prince Yi Zhong did make some changes before, but now it is said that the assassin was sent by Prince Yi Zhong, and even directly suggested that Xuanfu Town may have sent troops to the east. Well, without any intelligence support, it is obvious that there is some confusion.
"Brother Zishu also thinks that this is the work of Prince Yi Zhong? Where is the evidence? There is no news from Long Jinwei yet?" Han Xu frowned and asked: "Also, there is news from Xuanfu Town Are you here? Ziying, you suddenly raised this, did you say anything to Brother Chengfeng? You are just guessing, it’s hard to convince the public."
"Mr. Han, is it important whether it is the hand of Prince Yi Zhong, or whether there is any basis for it?" Feng Ziying asked back: "There are various signs in the past year. If it is just one item, of course it cannot mean anything. I I talked to Master Qi about it, but he didn't think it was possible. The reason was very simple. No one dared to do so because of the great righteousness. But righteousness was based on the emperor's presence. The emperor was not in good health, and now the emperor's personnel are not in good condition. Province, Prince Yitada is in good health, and Jiangnan has always been very friendly to Prince Yitada. This is known to all, but the emperor has not yet established a heir, so what should we do if Prince Yitada asks him to supervise the country? "
Prince Yoshitaka supervises the country? ! This question, which no one had ever thought about before, suddenly made both Han Xu and Wang Yongguang interested. Yes, what if someone in the court proposed that Prince Yi Zhong supervise the country?
What will be the attitude of the cabinet ministers? What are the attitudes of Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji? And Li Sancai, the guy with the head and the rat at both ends, what will his attitude be?
For the northern scholars, once Prince Yi Zhong takes control of the country or even ascends the throne, it will be the worst possible situation. Everyone knows this. They have never thought of this possibility before, but now Feng Ziying says this, two People suddenly feel a sense of crisis.
Wang Yongguang pondered for a while before saying: "Although Ziying, Prime Minister Ye, Prime Minister Fang and Duke Zhang are Jiangnan scholars, they may not support Prince Yi Zhong. They are different from Tang Binyin and Gu Tianjun. The emperor treats them badly." Bo, if they reverse their stance and attitude like this, they will be looked down upon by the world’s scholars, and they won’t do that.”
Han Xu nodded, "What Brother Youfu said is true. The elders will not do this. It's just that the emperor is unconscious now. What should the princes do? Let King Shou supervise the country?"
If the candidates for the supervision of the country are not proposed in time, once Prince Yoshitaka proposes that he wants to supervise the country, the court will be passive.
There are still some speculators in the DPRK who will make trouble. Even though Ye Fang and others will not do this, the people in Jiangnan will not give up. There will be people in the DPRK who will respond to them from afar. This is for sure.
"You can let King Shou supervise the country. What will happen if the emperor wakes up?" Wang Yongguang frowned.
The person who supervises the country is basically the prince. This is the old rule. If you are not a prince, you will not supervise the country.
But the emperor obviously doesn't like King Shou very much. If he wants to revoke King Shou's supervision after he wakes up, he is afraid that there will be another turmoil. This will also be a kind of denial and blow to the cabinet.
Seeing that the topic between the two men, Han and Wang, suddenly came to the subject of who should supervise the country, Feng Ziying was quite speechless. Is now the time to discuss this?
This group of literati really underestimated Prince Yoshitaka's determination and courage. Do they really think that he would give up supervising the country without being recommended or the cabinet disagrees?
Supervising the country is not his main purpose. He wants his brothers to do the same for him, and even if his brothers do not die, he will do the same!
The most urgent things now are to first control the situation in the capital, and secondly to resolutely block the Xuanfu army and the capital. If any one of them cannot be done, everything will be over!
In the former case, Prince Yi Zhong can directly declare that he will supervise the country and catch the court off guard. If there are enough people to support it, it will be a matter of course. Even if there is not enough support, it can form a deadlock. When the latter, that is, Niu Jizong's army enters the capital City, everything is under control, even if the civil servants in the DPRK and China object, so what?
Why did Zhu Di in the pre-Ming Dynasty need Zhu Yunwen's courtiers to recognize him in the end? With swords, axes and necks, how many people can be as strong as Fang Xiaoru?
When the army approaches the city, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Lian Zining have different heads and places. Zhu Di has been sitting on the throne for ten years. The throne will be inherited by Taizong's line?
"Han Gong, prince!" Feng Ziying couldn't help but emphasize her tone: "I admire the courage and backbone of the princes, but the problem now is that once Niu Jizong leads an army to Beijing and Prince Yi Zhong comes to the court, there will be several princes in the court who are like the princes. Like this? Will the Nanjing side raise their arms and respond to it? What will be done by then?"
