Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After knowing each other for more than ten years, Yang Tinghe has never changed his understanding of Qin Kan. He is really a very pedantic and conservative person. The fact that Qin Kan has been interacting with this pedantic and conservative old partner for more than ten years and never disliked him also shows that  He is a person who is too lazy to argue with Yang Tinghe. Together, the two are called the Ming Dynasty version of Pride and Prejudice, one is arrogant and the other is prejudice.

    Qin Kan¡¯s idea made everyone in the study relax a lot, and the tense facial lines finally softened.

    It is not clear whether the idea has any effect. What is clear to everyone is that since Qin Kan came up with the idea to deal with it, it shows that he is not willing to take the lead and kill him. He wants to fight, even if the enemy is the emperor.

    As long as you can fight, Qin Kan's attitude is the biggest gain for everyone tonight. They have been tied to the same boat for more than ten years. It can be said that everyone loses. After the new emperor takes care of Qin Kan, they must be next, so no matter from  For many years, no one wants to see Qin Kan lose the courage to fight, either emotionally or in terms of their own interests, because he is the core of this power group. If the core loses their courage, their end is not far away.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the heavy mood in the past few days, everyone felt relaxed at this moment.

    Since Qin Kan is fighting, the result will definitely not be bad. The results of more than ten years of struggle in the court are before everyone's eyes. As long as this guy wants to fight, he has never lost so far. He fought so many rounds with Liu Jin back then, and even if it doesn't work, he won't win.  Undefeated.

    Yang Tinghe changed into a comfortable position and leaned on the back of the chair. Yan Song crossed his legs leisurely. The happiest person was Zhang Yong. He was an eunuch and from now on, he was closest to death.  Now that Qin Kan wants to fight, Zhang Yong has already felt himself being pulled by a pair of strong hands.  He probably wouldn't die, so Zhang Yong picked up the tea cup that he had never been in the mood to drink. While looking at the exquisite and beautiful glaze pattern on the tea cup, he tasted the tea carefully. After tasting it, he smacked his lips and nodded with satisfaction.

    Qin Kan was also smiling, but no one could understand the meaning of his smile.

    The dispute between the kings and ministers of the Ming Dynasty lasted for more than a hundred years.  But this time, it seems that the way he fights is different from what everyone imagined

    When the whole house is happy, there will always be some old and immortal guy who jumps out to ruin the scenery.

    Du Hong stroked his beard and hummed expressionlessly, saying: "I see the new emperor's appearance. Although he is young, he is quite sophisticated. He is really very scheming. Are you sure you can handle him when you make a fuss about royal etiquette?  ? The new emperor is the emperor. There is no one in the court and his foundation is weak. If he understands the current situation and agrees to the request of the courtiers, he is willing to recognize the late Emperor Hongzhi as his father. Your calculations have all come to nothing. If the offensive and defensive momentum changes again, who knows how he will use it again?  What method can I use to deal with you? Qin Kan, you are happy too early. "

    Qin Kan¡¯s smile was a little stiff.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the old guy was his father-in-law, he should have had someone take him out and plant him in the soil.  There will be a lot of harvest next year for my father-in-law to fry and eat

    The most painful thing in the world is to have a person in front of you who is a disgrace and needs to be slapped. You cannot slap him because of seniority and the bad habit of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

    Qin Kan really wanted to tell Du Hong.  In fact, there is no need to worry at all. Even if the method just now is not feasible, he still has other ways to get out of trouble, such as hanging his father-in-law on the crossbar, and then Qin Kan will go up and leave the officials to worry

    ***************************************************  *****************

    Less than three days after Zhu Houcong ascended the throne, the emperor's addiction was not over, and the dragon chair under his buttocks was not yet warm. Something soon happened that troubled him.

    On the third day of the new dynasty meeting, hundreds of officials came to the dynasty, with a forest of ceremonial guards and extraordinary power.

    Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, left the office and handed over the first memorial of the Jiajing New Dynasty. Zhu Houcong opened the memorial with a smile on his face and an ambitious spirit of carrying forward the past. He only glanced at two lines before his color suddenly changed and he became angry.

    Mao Shangshu's memorial has only one meaning. Since the new emperor has ascended the throne and is the twelfth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and is the direct cousin of Emperor Zhengde, then based on the orthodox theory of etiquette, the father of Emperor Zhengde should be respected.  The late Emperor Hongzhi is your father. After all, you inherit the throne from the late Emperor Hongzhi and his son, and your own biological father, King Xingxian, can no longer call him father, but should be called "Huangshu Kao". Yours is still alive.  Naturally, your mother cannot be called mother, but should be called "imperial aunt". Empress Dowager Zhang of Cining Palace is your mother.

    Of course, don¡¯t even think about posthumously naming your biological father King Xingxian, giving him honorific and posthumous titles, etc. At most, you can give your biological father the title of ¡°Super Imperial Uncle Kao¡±.

    The memorial was very long, and Zhu Houcong read it very carefully. The more he looked at it, the uglier his face became. Finally, his young face could not help but be covered with a terrible livid color.

    He can¡¯t help but be angry. A normal person will be angry. He should act like an emperor, and even lose his father. Not only did he lose his father, but the civil and military ministers of the dynasty also gave him a new father

    You are not such a bully!??Throwing Mao Cheng¡¯s memorial on the gold tile floor in the hall, Zhu Houcong slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, stood up, and his angry roar echoed in the hall.

    "I will never agree! You are going too far!"

    Mao Cheng showed no fear and refused to give in. "Your Majesty, this is a system of etiquette. The system of etiquette and music is the foundation of the country. The monarch, ministers and people must not violate it."

    Zhu Houcong stared at him with red eyes: "Did the etiquette say that even the biological father can be changed? Which family's etiquette is this?"

    "The relationship between monarch and ministers is more important than that between father and son, and the relationship between monarch and ministers is more important than the relationship between father and son. This is the royal etiquette system."

    After all, Zhu Houcong is only a twelve-year-old child. The so-called scheming is only a relative term. At this moment, when Mao Cheng pushed him, his eyes suddenly turned red. He felt angry and aggrieved. His eyes immediately looked at Yang Tinghe, the first assistant scholar at the forefront of the class.

    "Mr. Yang, is what Mao Shangshu said appropriate?"

    Yang Tinghe walked out of the courtroom with a calm expression and an indifferent tone.

    "Returning to your majesty, as Mao Shangshu said, I would like to ask your majesty to go to the Ancestral Temple to give the late emperor Hongzhi a posthumous title and issue an edict to respect the late emperor as his father."

    After Yang Tinghe finished speaking, all the civil and military ministers in the palace knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to grant the late emperor a posthumous title and issue an edict to honor your father."

    The overwhelming shouts frightened Zhu Houcong and he couldn't help but take a step back, and the tears in his eyes could no longer hold back.

    At the first court meeting of the Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Houcong finally saw how cunning and hateful the officials of the Ming Dynasty were. When he was in the Anlu Prefecture Palace, he often heard that his predecessor was made angry by the ministers. At that time, he secretly laughed at him. Now it is his turn.  When he became the emperor, he felt a sympathy for his predecessor from the bottom of his heart, because at this moment, he was also angry and cried, and the cry was uglier than that of his predecessor

    It¡¯s not easy for both of us to be emperors. If my predecessor was still alive, I really should have beheaded him by chopping off chicken heads and burning yellow paper.

    Taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Houcong tried hard to restrain the idea of ??pulling out all the ministers and chopping them into dumpling fillings. He casually wiped his tears with the brocade sleeves of his dragon robe and said, "There is no need to mention the debate about etiquette. I will never agree to it."  , retreat from the court"

    "Your Majesty! Etiquette is the foundation of the country, how can we avoid it?"

    "If the name is not right, then it is not right. The imperial lineage of the Tian family is originally from the Hongzhi lineage. If your majesty does not respect the late Hongzhi as his father, how can you convince the scholars and people of the world?"

    "If your Majesty does not respect the late emperor as his father, then the etiquette and music will not be ruined, the king will lose his virtue, the subjects will become disloyal, and disaster is not far away!"

    ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡±

    "Shut up, everyone! Retreat from the court!" Zhu Houcong roared loudly.

    ***************************************************  *****************

    The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not that easy to be. There are many beauties in the harem, and he has no control over state affairs. He lies in the huge palace every day, eating and waiting to die, and he is as carefree as a god

    These were all beautiful fantasies that Zhu Houcong had before entering Beijing. Facts have proved that the fantasies were just fantasies. The first court meeting in Jiajing Dynasty seemed to slap him hard in the face and completely woke him up.

    fraud!  They are all liars!  You lied to me to go all the way to Beijing to become the emperor, and then asked me to change my father as soon as I ascended the throne

    Zhu Houcong was wiping tears in the harem, feeling aggrieved and resentful. He felt that his young heart was deeply hurt.

    The joy of rushing into the capital to become emperor has disappeared. The young Zhu Houcong now only feels that the court in the capital is full of malice towards him

    The courtiers suddenly attacked, catching Zhu Houcong off guard. His original plan of gradually weakening Qin Kan's power and killing powerful ministers was disrupted. At this time, Zhu Houcong no longer cared about dealing with Qin Kan. Rather than removing powerful ministers, replacing his father was more important.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The discussion on the etiquette system, once the courtiers have opened their mouths, will never end in an anticlimactic manner.

    The matter is not over yet, no matter how far away or how deeply Zhu Houcong hides, the courtiers will dig him out.

    After the court meeting was over, Zhu Houcong rushed back to the Qianqing Palace angrily. However, hundreds of civil and military officials headed by Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, gathered at Chengtian Gate. Hundreds of ministers knelt down and kowtowed to the palace gate, crying and begging the emperor to change his father.  No, if I don't change it, everyone will die in front of him.

    This was a massive petition. All officials from the fifth rank and above in Beijing were present, and no one was absent. What¡¯s even more strange is that even nobles who have never been involved in political affairs were present, but they were instigated by someone unknown.

    Looking from the inner palace tower of Chengtianmen, all the eyes can see are courtiers in official robes, kneeling in the dust and crying loudly, looking like crazy. The people watching the excitement in the city were also shocked.  With this posture, they thought that the new emperor who had just ascended the throne had accidentally died again, so thousands of confused onlookers who did not know the truth knelt down. The petition became more and more powerful, and the cries shook the palace gate.Directly destroy the palace.

    In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houcong had not yet suppressed his anger, but the crying outside the palace had already reached the palace. Zhu Houcong's whole body was shaking violently, and his young face suddenly turned red with blood.

    Half an hour later, the palace door opened, and a eunuch carrying a fly whisk appeared outside the palace door holding an imperial edict. He read out the imperial edict written by Zhu Houcong himself to the ministers who were kneeling on the floor.  You are polite, but you only have one meaning. The ministers who petitioned should go back quickly. It is strictly forbidden to gather in groups and make noise, otherwise they will be punished according to the national law.
