Chapter 835

In Renshou Palace, after the Empress Fang was stabilized, several ministers headed east to Wenhua Palace. Although it was a pity to travel back and forth, it was also helpless.

After returning to the Wenhua Palace, I found that the situation inside was a little different from before.The one sitting in the middle of the throne is not the prince anymore, but the Queen Mother Zhang,

The crown prince is below the throne, opposing the ministers.

This scene looks very asymmetrical, with only the crown prince on one side and a group of ministers on the other.In this way, the prince occupies half of the space, and the minister can only occupy the other half.

But there is no way, the only way to stand is in the etiquette.Fortunately, the court ceremony has ended, and some unimportant ministers have been "exited", so only half of the space is still enough.

Everyone secretly raised their eyes to look at the Empress Dowager Zhang on the throne, and found that the old lady was full of anger, obviously very angry.

Everyone can understand this, just now I heard that the palace people made trouble in Ciqing Palace, and even smashed people with sticks, no matter who it was, they would be furious.

And it can be guessed that Empress Dowager Zhang ran over to seek "support" because she was out of breath just now because of the "stiletto".

The old queen probably had no choice. It seemed that there was no "obedient" in the palace, so she ran here to seek support from the courtiers.

But to be honest, most of the courtiers are not very interested in the messy things in the palace. They look at the problems in the palace like "dog eats dog".

As long as it does not affect the stability of the country and the power of the court, no minister is willing to take care of the mess in the palace.

Seeing the Assistant Minister coming back from Renshou Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang had been brewing for a long time, and finally broke out:
"Yesterday, the Ai family responded to the request of the courtiers and came forward to guard the crown prince, but today there are unworthy palace slaves, gathering crowds in the Ciqing Palace to create chaos, it is simply appalling!
This is not only the humiliation of the mourning family, but also the blatant defacement of the imperial court! "

Empress Dowager Zhang lost her temper when she came up, probably to arouse empathy, but facing a group of bureaucratic machines, it was not considered a success.

All the ministers and gods were there, and they followed Shoufu symbolically to persuade a few words, "Mother, calm down."

How should I put this matter, Queen Mother, you have just regained power, and you want to launch brutal revenge immediately, and you can't blame others for the backlash.

Now that your old man has come here to ask the minister for help, it means that you also understand that you don't have many supporters in the palace.

Then Empress Dowager Zhang revealed the real purpose: "There must be someone organizing this matter, and we must investigate to the end to find out the real culprit!"

Everyone understood that Queen Mother Zhang wanted to use the power of civil servants to exert pressure on the forces in the palace.

But the ministers are still the old gods, and no one came out to support it loudly.

There are two reasons. The first is the sentence just now. Ministers of foreign courts are generally not interested in the messy things in the palace.

To put it a bit more extreme, even if your Empress Dowager Zhang is gone, it is nothing more than a new person, and what fundamental impact will it have on the country's government affairs?

The second is, from the perspective of overall stability, it is better not to study this matter so carefully.

In the Hongzhi Zhengde Dynasty, your Empress Dowager Zhang was the master of the harem, and the palace was full of your people, but now Emperor Jiajing has been on the throne for 20 years, and the people in the palace have already changed their blood.

Because of the previous attitude of Emperor Jiajing, it can be said that all the people in the palace who can appear on the stage are against Queen Mother Zhang, and there are no supporters of Queen Mother Zhang at all.

In such a situation of "the palace is full of enemies", if you Queen Mother Zhang still wants to investigate to the end and dig deeper, it will inevitably cause chaos.

If the palace is in chaos, it will surely implicate the court and make it difficult for them to survive, so why bother?
It is rare to be confused in life. When you should be confused, you should be confused!
Not every political case has to be investigated, otherwise there would not be so many mysteries left in the history books!

In fact, the eunuchs, the chief inspector of ceremonies, were also present, but they also kept silent in a tacit understanding.Most of them are the servants of Emperor Jiajing, so don't take yourself too seriously, Queen Mother Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the ministers pretending to be deaf and dumb, and felt chilly.

The biggest mistake in her life was choosing the wrong person 20 years ago, and today there is not even a single person with justice in her heart!

Because those who still have justice in their hearts have been kicked out of the court one after another in the past 20 years!

Those who are flooding the court are all Jiajing men, Qingcige elders and the like!
Just when Empress Dowager Zhang was cynical, a minister with a very high position suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The empress dowager is humiliated, and the ministers feel the same. How can we condone and condone it? It is reasonable to investigate to the bottom and find out the culprit!"

Finally heard the voice she wanted to hear, Empress Dowager Zhang looked along the voice happily, but saw that the person who spoke was a man from Jiajing
The rest of the ministers were inexplicably astonished, did you, Qin Dewei, take the wrong medicine?

Yesterday, Empress Dowager Zhang kept her promise to you, Qin Dewei, and almost excluded you from the assistant government. Why did you start to lick it again today?

Although Empress Dowager Zhang also felt that this matter might be unreliable, but there was no one else to talk to, so she could only follow Qin Dewei's words and ask: "How to track it down?"

Qin Dewei said to him: "It is inconvenient for the foreign ministers to deal with the affairs of the palace, so we can only appoint the internal supervisor to investigate!"

Empress Dowager Zhang was very dissatisfied with this answer, which was too empty and unreal, without any real content.

So Empress Dowager Zhang forced her to ask, "Just tell me who should be in charge of this matter!"

When everyone thought that Qin Dewei would continue to practice Tai Chi because he was still hot, Qin Dewei glanced at the eunuchs in the ceremonial supervisor and said: "Since your mother asked me to recommend candidates, I will boldly recommend Bao Zhong!"

Empress Dowager Zhang was secretly delighted, waiting for such words, this is the only way to exert pressure!

Among the eunuchs in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, apart from the eunuch Qin Fuqin who put more energy into the East Factory, Bao Zhong was second only to the senior eunuch Zhang Zuo.

In other words, if Zhang Zuo passed away, the person who could take over the position of Supervisor of Rites would theoretically be either Qin Fu or Bao Zhong. Because Bao Zhong was also from Xing Wangfu, the possibility was a little higher than Qin Fu.

Suddenly hearing Qin Dewei's name call, Eunuch Bao declined politely: "I have been in charge of the clerk's study room. I have been doing literature and ink work. I am not familiar with the practice in the palace. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take up this position."

In his perception, the current situation is complicated and chaotic, and the emperor, the biggest backer, is unconscious. Being cautious and wise is the kingly way, so it is better not to do such things as wading into muddy water.

Qin Dewei didn't get too entangled with Eunuch Bao, and directly said: "This matter is of great importance, Da Dang must be responsible.

Since Eunuch Bao is careful not to come out, please ask Eunuch Qin to come forward! "

Eunuch Qin was slightly surprised, this little bastard didn't even mention the script, and suddenly started attacking the scene?

To pick up or not to pick up, that is the question?Eunuch Qin flashed through several analyzes in a short moment, and decided to respond temporarily.

But before everyone reacted, and before eunuch Qin could speak out, the No. [-] eunuch, Zhang Zuo, the chief inspector of ceremonies, spoke:
"Qin Zhongtang also said just now that this matter has a lot to do with it, so we, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, should be responsible for investigating it!"

After listening to Zhang Zuo's words, everyone immediately felt that the words "our supervisor of ceremonies" had a profound meaning, just like the words "we are waiting for the cabinet ministers" in the old Yan Ge's mouth.

Eunuch Qin nominally held the position of Eunuch of Li and Bingbi, but his main dispatch was in Dongchang. When Zhang Zuo said "we are the supervisor of rites", he vaguely meant to rule out Eunuch Qin.

In fact, Eunuch Zhang's original intention was to just find any eunuch who can appear on the stage, and it's over after a symbolic investigation. It doesn't matter who is in charge, and there will be no results anyway.

Moreover, eunuch Zhang didn't want to have any consequences. If he asked about the abuse of Empress Dowager Zhang in the past few years and then got to the bottom of it, then he, the supervisor of ceremonies, might be held responsible for it.

All in all, no matter who is responsible for the investigation by others, there is probably no result, but if the eunuch Qin is responsible for the investigation, it will be another matter!
The eunuch Qin who is in charge of the East Factory is absolutely capable of messing around!And eunuch Qin didn't deal with him!
That's why Zhang Zuo rushed to the front and took care of things, ostensibly representing the "supervisor of ceremonies".In fact, he would rather handle the matter himself than hand it over to Eunuch Qin.

Eunuch Qin was about to speak up to fight back, but he saw that everyone's eyes were on Qin Dewei, and no one was looking at him.
Qin Dewei lived up to expectations and was not polite, and asked directly: "Eunuch Zhang, are you sure you want to be responsible for the attack on Ciqing Palace?"

This is the first time others have heard the word "stiletto", and I don't know how Qin Dewei came up with it.

Eunuch Zhang sneered and said, "The Chief of Rites is helping the Royal Prime Minister with the affairs of the palace, so why not ask about it? As the Chief of Ceremonies, I am in charge of the investigation, so why not?"

Qin Dewei immediately criticized and said: "I have to say, Eunuch Zhang, your position is wrong, you have completely lost your principles!"

Zhang Zuo, as the chief inspector of ceremonies, is equivalent to the chief assistant of the foreign court, and immediately reprimanded him: "A dog can't spit out ivory, so shut up if you have nothing to say!"

Qin Dewei first cupped his hands towards a certain direction, and then said: "The emperor's bones... Ah no, the corpse can't afford it. Although the murderer was caught on the spot, he hasn't been interrogated, convicted and executed yet!
And these things should be directly responsible for you, the supervisor of ceremonies!

The emperor's affairs are the biggest matters, so you, the supervisor of ceremonies, can only be responsible for the emperor's affairs, and no one else is qualified!
But you, Zhang Zuo, don't want to repay Jun's kindness, you just want to be distracted and take care of the Queen Mother's affairs!Isn't it a wrong position and a loss of principle?
I just want to ask, do you Zhang Zuo still have the emperor in your heart? "

Zhang Zuo: "."

Due to institutional reasons, the eunuchs in the palace formed their own system, and rarely had the opportunity to "communicate" face-to-face with Qin Dewei.

Seeing the No. [-] figure in the eunuch circle, eunuch Zhang Zuo Zhang being speechless by Qin Dewei, the other civil servants were all watching the excitement.

There are also civil servants who work hard and are not afraid of big troubles, secretly encouraging Qin Dewei, you Qin Dewei can't be an expert in civil wars, and an amateur in foreign wars, right?
But Qin Dewei added: "Your behavior is the same as those ministers who tried to escape from Wuyi Palace. It is really ungrateful and you don't know right from wrong!"

Elder Yan Ge: "."

There was a bit of silence for a while, and then eunuch Qin slowly stood up, and said to Zhang Zuo with a big picture:

"Master Zhang, you are in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies. If you want to take on more important responsibilities, you must go to the emperor's side. I will help you share other small matters."

Eunuch Zhang really wanted to say, what is there to investigate about the assassination of the emperor by a court lady?

The murderer has been captured, the motive is very clear, the interrogation is just a formality, and then reported to the Queen and Queen Mother, and finally all executed!
But the more clear things are, the less operational value they have!Only things that can work in the dark have room for manipulation!
For example, the case of the empress dowager being shot at Ciqing Palace is more imaginative than the emperor being assassinated by a court lady, if the brain circuit is activated.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhang glared at Bao Zhong, why did you decline just now?If you agreed, why would the eunuch Qin take advantage of it?

Qin Dewei pretended to be impatient and said: "Okay, okay, I don't know how many things the court still has to discuss, don't waste too much time on one thing.

That's it for the matter of investigating the attack on Ciqing Palace, let the eunuch Qin take charge! "

Seeing this scene, many officials couldn't help secretly admiring Qin Dewei, this Qin Zhongtang's foreign war is also very powerful, even the eunuch can manipulate it.

He actually arranged work for the chief eunuchs in public in the hall, and in the end, all the chief eunuchs could only do as they wanted.And because of professional needs, the Dongchang Qin eunuch who has always been rude to ministers actually obeyed.

Moreover, Qin Zhongtang was worthy of the Empress Dowager for making such an arrangement, otherwise, the Ciqing Palace stile attack case would not know how long he would be kicked.

At this time, Tu Qiao, the censor of Zuodu, stood up and said to the queen mother: "I hope that your mother will be safe and don't be impatient. There are many aspects of the palace that have not been straightened out, so it is easy to cause chaos.

The top priority is not only to investigate various palace cases, but also to draw up all kinds of rules and form a custom, and then there will be Fangyuan! "

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to respond, Qin Zhongtang asked in surprise, "What rules do Zongxian Tu want to set for the court?"

Tu Qiao ignored the words of a dog like Qin Dewei who couldn't spit out ivory, and continued to play: "I have thought about it carefully, and there are probably three urgent things.

The first one is who should be in charge of the palace affairs. I heard that Qin Dewei suggested just now that the empress should give up the palace affairs and hand them over to Empress Fang. Whether it is a rule or not, I would like to ask the empress to clarify. "

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang's face changed a little.

Tu Qiao continued: "Second article, although the assistant ministers are under the name, there should be specific regulations on how to assist the government. In addition, where the assistant ministers should be, please clarify as soon as possible.

The third is that the prince is benevolent and filial by nature. Now the emperor does not hesitate whether he should let the prince move to Wuyi Hall, so that he can serve the emperor nearby to show his filial piety. "

Although Tu Zongxian's three points were clearly addressed to the Empress Dowager, everyone still looked at Qin Zhongtang.
In any case, let's see Qin Zhongtang's reaction first, he can't be wrong.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty was like this. No matter how powerful you are, someone will always target you. This is called "smooth speech".

No matter whether it is Qin Zhongtang or Yan Ge, they are unstoppable.

However, Qin Dewei looked at the six-year-old crown prince on the other side, and said loudly: "The East Palace is still young and physically weak, so you must not take too long to watch the court!
It has been too long since early morning today, and I, Qin Dewei, are worried that Donggong's body will be fatigued and injured, so I dare you all to disperse!
Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, the foundation of the country will be shaken again!Who can take this responsibility! "

Everyone: "."

Qin Zhongtang is not a layman in foreign wars, let alone in civil wars.

Qin Zhongtang forcibly stopped the first court meeting of the crown prince in charge of the country, as if nothing important was discussed during the court meeting.
