Zhu Yujian hurriedly returned to the palace, and the internal officials went to the residences of the important ministers overnight to summon the cabinet and the principal officials of the six ministries to the palace for an audience.At this time, Yang Wencong, Zhang Tongchang and other cabinet scholars, as well as more than a dozen ministers, hurried to the palace.At this time, it was still early before the time of the previous dynasty, and the ministers were speculating about what was happening and whispering in the side hall."
Isn't it a matter of discussing the abolition of the prince!"
Zhang Tongchang couldn't help asking.Yang Wencong shook his head, very worried and pessimistic about the current situation.Zhu Yihai was sent to prison, Wu Zhaosheng and others were thrown into prison, and without much thought, you can know that before the trial of the three divisions, Jin Yiwei commanded Ma Jixiang, a traitorous party, will definitely concoct a piece of evidence to correct Zhu Yihai's rebellion.At that time, the three divisions will be tried, there will be a handwritten letter written by Zhu Yihai to Fang Guoan, as well as the incriminating evidence provided by Jinyiwei, and the government is what He Tengjiao and his party say, and Zhu Yihai will be convicted of the crime of rebellion, which has become a foregone conclusion.The royal family has always had no family affection at all, and there have been many precedents for the emperor to kill his own son for the sake of the throne and power.Zhu Yujian can be said to have no feelings for his nephew Zhu Yihai, once he is convicted of rebellion and abolishes the position of the prince, it can be said that it is ironclad, and it is difficult to save even his life.And once Zhu Yihai was condemned as a rebellion, the towns of Zhejiang had only two endings, one was to cut off with Zhu Yihai, submit to the court, and accept the policy of the court to cut the domain, and the Zhejiang system disappeared from then on, and the other was to be forced to raise troops and launch a rebellion, but with the current strength of the Zhejiang army, it will inevitably be defeated by the imperial court and will also collapse.Once the Zhejiang system collapses, the strength of the imperial court will increase greatly, and it will inevitably attack Donghai Town, and at that time, it will be difficult to compete with the imperial court with a town in Donghai.Thinking of this, Yang Wencong couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and didn't pay attention to Zhang Tongchang, but asked He Tengjiao: "He Ge Ministry, the three divisions have not yet been tried, is it going to decide to abolish the prince tonight?"
”Zhang Tongchang also said: "After the trial of the three divisions, it is not too late to abolish the establishment.If it is decided tonight, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and the appearance will be too ugly~" can be elected to the cabinet by Zhu Yujian, Zhang Tongchang's political proposition is actually to support the reduction of the feudal domain and the strengthening of centralized power.Previously, he opposed the imperial court's action because he was afraid that it would lead to a civil war, and the imperial court was not sure of victory.Now, the situation has changed, and after Zhu Yihai was controlled by the imperial court, the imperial court has taken the initiative, so he is not opposed to abolishing Zhu Yihai and cutting the feudal domain.The difference between him and He Tengjiao is that it is okay to cut the feudal domain, but it cannot cause internal strife and let foreign enemies reap the benefits, which can be regarded as a moderate faction in the cabinet.He Tengjiao was with Zhu Yujian today, if something happened, he would definitely know that many ministers in the hall surrounded him, chattering and expressing their opinions.As a high-ranking official of the central government, most of his political stance is to support the reduction of feudal domains and the strengthening of centralized power, but before the third division was tried, Zhu Yihai was directly abolished, and his appearance was really ugly, so it can be said that he didn't even want his face.The central government still needs to have a little face, everyone you have a word, he said He Tengjiao is too annoying."
Do you think this pavilion will be so stupid?"
He Tengjiao was already angry, and vented to these people, "The triage of the three divisions, that is, the matter of a few days, whether Zhu Yihai rebelled or not is decided by the results of the triage, how can this cabinet defy the laws of the Ming Dynasty." ”Zhang Tongchang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's fine, there is no need to rush at all now." ”After speaking, he asked, "He Gebu, what is the matter?"
”He Tengjiao was annoyed to death by them, and Ding Kuichu, the bachelor on duty on the side, said: "It is an urgent military report sent by Fang Guo, and this pavilion has directly sent it to the celebrant and forwarded it to Your Majesty." ”He Tengjiao said: "Zhao Ming of Donghai Town rebelled and seized Hangzhou, and all Zhejiang Province was returned to Zhao Ming!"
”There was an uproar in the hall, Yang Wencong's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask excitedly: "This matter is serious!"
”He Tengjiao frowned, "Yang Pavilion Department, what kind of expression do you have, why are you so excited?"
”Yang Wencong hurriedly calmed his face, and said with a straight face: "He Ge Lao, I'm just shocked!"
”He said bitterly: "In this way, the situation has deteriorated!"
”When He Tengjiao was skeptical, one of the guards sang loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
”When the ministers heard this, they immediately stopped their voices, and stood and bowed according to the official rank on both sides of the stand, "Welcome Your Majesty!"
”Zhu Yujian, who was wearing regular clothes and a winged crown, walked into the main hall surrounded by guards wearing chain mail, sat on the throne, and waved his hand with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Everyone, please be exempt!"
”Seeing that the emperor's face was heavy, everyone did not dare to speak first.Zhu Yujian sighed and said slowly: "I have summoned you Aiqing, but a major event has happened.Just now, I received a beating report, Zhao Ming of Donghai Town attacked Hangzhou, Fang Guoan fled to Ningguo in panic, and Zhejiang has fallen into the hands of the rebels!
”Everyone in the hall already knew, but they were still shocked.Zhejiang's proximity to Nanjing, and the entire province being controlled by the rebels, would pose a great threat to the imperial court.Donghai Town suddenly joined the rebellion, which made everyone's hearts panic, the rebels are now connecting Jiangbei, Jiangdong, and Zhejiang, with two or three hundred thousand soldiers, will they play the banner of the Qing monarch's side, attack the imperial court on a large scale, and kill Nanjing?
Zhu Yujian looked at the ministers who were talking, and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, Aiqing, what do you think you should do now?"
”Yang Wencong was entangled in his heart, at this time, he wanted to stand up and persuade the emperor to negotiate with the Zhejiang Department to avoid a civil war, but he knew in his heart that Zhu Yujian's will to abolish Zhu Yihai was very resolute, and he might not be able to listen to his persuasion, and it would make Zhu Yujian and He Tengjiao doubt his position.Just when Yang Wencong was entangled, Zhang Tongchang stood up and saluted urgently: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be impulsive, and it should be discussed in the long run."
Zhao Boan is a world-famous general, has a high prestige in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the world regards him as the national dynasty Han Yue, he now stands up to support the Zhejiang army, the court should act cautiously, once a big war breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable. ”Yang Wencong couldn't help but glance at Zhang Tongchang, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, Zhang Gebu was really a fierce man and a direct minister.Zhu Yujian didn't think so, and couldn't help but regret in his heart, why did he order such a stunned young man to become a scholar, he heard the words, and his face immediately sank.He Tengjiao was suddenly furious, "What does Zhang Gebu mean, did you let the imperial court release the thief Zhu Yihai, when nothing happened?"
Where is the coercion of the imperial court?
”Zhang Tongchang supports cutting the domain, but it is okay to cut the domain, but it can't cut out the chaos, after all, the north and the south are standing side by side at the moment, and the Ming Dynasty is fighting internally, don't fight for the same surname at that time, the result is not divided, and let the Qing army sit and collect the profits and enter again.If this is the case, everyone from the emperor to the minister is a sinner in the world.Zhang Tongchang, as a descendant of Zhang Juzheng, in addition to being loyal to the monarch, also has a pure heart for the world.He heard that Zhao Ming supported the Zhejiang army and took Zhejiang Province as soon as he made a move, and thought that the balance of strength had changed, and the imperial court no longer had an overwhelming advantage, so his position wavered again.Although his behavior is out of public intentions, in the eyes of Zhu Yujian and He Tengjiao, this guy is a two-faced, more than one face.Zhu Yujian said in a stunned voice: "Zhao Ming attacked Hangzhou and openly provoked the majesty of the imperial court, how can I swallow my anger."
I have summoned you today to ask if the Imperial Court will be able to quell the rebellion in the event of war!
”No one in the hall dared to answer this question, saying that he was responsible.If he said that he could not, it was against the emperor's will, and even if the emperor chose to follow the advice and felt that he could not quell the rebellion and reconcile with the Zhejiang army, in case after the reconciliation, the Zhejiang army rebelled again, it would be the death of the person who spoke.If you say yes, if you really fight, and the battle on the front line is not going well, then you will die faster.Everyone had concerns in their hearts, but He Tengjiao said firmly: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is now in Jiangnan, and has gathered more than 300,000 heavy troops. ”Ding Kuichu saw Lao He speak, so he also said: "Your Majesty, now that Zhu Yihai has been captured, he will soon be tried by the three divisions.How could the imperial court give up the trial and punishment of the rebels just because Zhao Ming occupied Zhejiang. ”Seeing the support of his fellow party, He Tengjiao immediately continued: "Your Majesty, Elder Ding Ge's words are reasonable.The minister thought that the top priority now was to immediately trioster the three divisions and convict Zhu Yihai of conspiracy against him, so that the imperial court would occupy morality, and then see how Donghai Town reacted.If Zhao Ming dared to attack the imperial court, he would be a rebel and would be spurned.As long as the imperial court mobilizes, the Xichuan soldiers, Fujian soldiers, and the imperial court's forbidden army will definitely be able to solve the rebels!
”The situation is urgent, and He Tengjiao doesn't want any Ming laws and regulations, any judicial fairness, and directly designates Zhu Yihai as a crime.Zhu Yujian heard the words and nodded his head, "For the time being, according to Elder He Ge's wishes, the Three Law Divisions will try Zhu Yihai's rebellion case as soon as possible!"
”~~~~~~ in the city of Nanjing, not far from the imperial city, in a house.At this time, a man walked out of the courtyard gate, glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one on the street, so he quickly dodged into the courtyard.In the courtyard, there were several sturdy men wearing cloth clothes and turbans, each of whom exuded a barbaric atmosphere completely different from the Han people in Jiangnan."
Hou Gongzi is back!"
The first thin scribe saw someone come in and immediately said.Hou Fangyu nodded, "Lord Chen, I have inquired clearly, Zhao Ming raised troops to seize Hangzhou, and He Tengjiao and others on the side of the Southern Dynasty are preparing to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, and internal strife is about to break out!"
”The scribe surnamed Chen immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Good!
After waiting for a few months, my opportunity to clear the sky has finally come again!
”Hou Fangyu said with a smile: "My lord, the top priority is to inform Prince Ying immediately, so that the army table is ready."
Once the Southern Dynasty fights among themselves, they compete with each other, and we can profit from the Qing Dynasty!
”"Haha......
Yes, the official immediately sent someone to deliver the message. ”()
