little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 173 Congrats
"I dare not obey the imperial edict even if I die!"

Shen's consistent attitude deeply shocked the Empress Dowager Li, as well as all the civil and military ministers in the hall. For a while, the hall was silent, and needles could be heard.

It was only at this moment that Shen Yiguan realized that he had yelled out this voice, and since then his shiny forehead was clearly labeled as the Lichang School, and there was no way out.Generally speaking, this is completely contrary to his usual rules of being in the officialdom, but the strange thing is that not only does he not feel any regret in his heart, on the contrary, he also feels inexplicably relaxed and happy.

Corresponding to his ease was Empress Dowager Li's outburst of shock and anger, she pointed at Shen Yiguan with one hand, and shouted sharply: "Mr. Shen Ge, do you know what you are talking about?"

Shen Yiguan also went all out, pouted his neck and said: "The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty taught that the eldest son will inherit the rule, and the law will be upheld forever! As the chief assistant of the cabinet, the old minister dare not ignore his duties. Even if he offends the queen mother, he will die."

All the ministers gasped in unison. The chief minister of the cabinet, Mr. Shen, has been in office for several years. Everyone knows his character. The reputation is so resounding that it is at the height of the sun, and the slashing of the four directions with a big horse and a golden knife like today is so righteous, it is almost as unbelievable as taking the wrong medicine and being a ghost.

Empress Dowager Li was trembling with anger, but she was sent to the army by Shen Yiguan's high-sounding eldest son. Get pale and bruised.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from a deep and powerful voice: "My minister seconded Elder Shen Ge, the queen mother summoned us here today, isn't it just for the court to discuss the country?"

Empress Dowager Li looked back in astonishment, and saw that the person who spoke was high-spirited, it was Li Rusong, the son of Uncle Ning Yuan, Li Chengliang, and the current commander-in-chief of Liaodong.

"I would like to ask the Empress Dowager, today I summoned all my ministers to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the emperor's eldest son was unanimously elected as the crown prince in the previous court meeting. Doesn't that count?"

Before the Empress Dowager Li realized how to answer, another person feared that the world would not be chaotic and shouted loudly: "In my opinion, the prince in the Empress Dowager's heart has not been released, so it doesn't count?"

The latter sentence, Li Ruzhang jumped out and shouted, God knows he has endured it for a long time, and when he saw his elder brother taking the lead in attacking, he immediately thought of the Li family motto: brother who fights a tiger, father and son soldiers in battle, so he jumped out and opened his mouth to question directly, compared to Li Rusong's In a word, this sentence can be said to be extremely spicy, and there is no sympathy in it.

Empress Dowager Li suddenly changed color, and then flew into a rage: "You... are bold!"

Li Sancai sneered, "General Li has no respect, but the lower officials want to play a book."

Li Ruzhang was furious, pointed at Li Sancai's nose and cursed: "I'm a rough man, I can't speak in a flattering way like you, but I never speak out of my conscience. If you want to intervene, just let me go." Come here!" After finishing speaking, he snorted lightly, and looked him up and down: "When Lao Tzu's family killed Mongolian dogs in a bloodbath in Liaodong, your mother would only drink flower wine with your concubine in your arms!"

Who in the court didn't know that Li Sancai was a well-known evil spirit, but he was afraid of his high position and power, so no one dared to say anything. He didn't expect to be pointed at his nose and scolded at him on this occasion. Ren Duchaqiandu censor and governor of Fengyang, with a high status, but Li Ruzhang, who is not particular about it, watched Li Ruzhang roll up his sleeves, revealing his fists as big as a bowl, with a look of eagerness to start, a scholar Li Sancai was shaking with anger when he met the soldiers, "You...!"

Casting a cold glance at Li Sancai, Li Rusong shouted: "Fourth brother, get out! If you dare to offend the Queen Mother again, I will take care of you first on behalf of my father."

Li Ruzhang looked rude, but he was definitely not a fool. He knew that he didn't have many roles in this play, so after singing the black face, he handed over the remaining red face to his brother. He gave Li Sancai a provocative look, turned around and went down the hall proudly.

Empress Dowager Li was so angry that she thumped the chair several times with one tightly clenched hand, hating the Li brothers to death in her heart.However, the deep calm cultivated by living in the palace for decades played a role, knowing that the current situation is not an opportunity to attack the Li brothers. The two brothers have already exposed their different intentions in full view Under the eyes of everyone, no amount of entanglement will only make oneself more passive.

Empress Dowager Li turned around a few times in her heart, suddenly sneered, stroked her forehead with her sleeve, swayed a few times, and then fell on one side of the chair.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the hall, a few court ladies grabbed their chests and called out, and the eunuch Zhou Ninghai shouted for the imperial doctor in a high-pitched voice.

I wanted to use words to squeeze the Queen Mother and let her admit the result of today's court discussion, but I never expected that the dignified Queen Mother of a country would actually resort to such a life-saving move, which immediately made Li Rusong dumbfounded... Sure enough, Qianjun Ten thousand horses are not to be feared, women are the most difficult to deal with.

Queen Mother Li is obviously playing tricks, but no one can do anything about her.

Seeing Li Rusong deflated, Li Sancai was overjoyed, and greatly admired Empress Dowager Li's witty fainting move.

From his point of view, today's events are very unfavorable to Concubine Zheng, but as long as she thinks through this hurdle, she can reorganize her troops, find another good opportunity, and start over.

Many ministers could clearly see the empress dowager's tricks, and most people in the palace frowned. In this way, is today's court meeting completely obsolete?
For a moment, the Highness was in a hurry, His Highness was in an uproar, and the ministers were whispering, discussing, arguing or sighing, the voices came and went one after another.

In the chaos, Shen Yiguan was surprised to find that Prince Rui Zhu Changluo seemed to hear all the chaos in front of him, but seemed to see it, and his bottomless eyes flew to the outside of the palace, as if he was waiting for something.

The little eunuch who had been standing in the shadow of the corridor outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony all this time raised his face. It was Huang Jinshou's proud apprentice Wang An!It's just that for some reason, one of his hands was caressing his chest from time to time, and he kept circling on the ground with an anxious expression.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by, looking at the person who appeared in front of him, Wang Anjiu exclaimed in surprise as if meeting a friend in a foreign country: "Oh...you finally appeared!"

Suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was in chaos, and one person shouted loudly: "There is an imperial edict!"

This extremely abrupt shout echoed and hovered over the Taihe Palace, and immediately shocked everyone's hearts... Where did the imperial edict come from?Isn't the emperor seriously ill?
Outside the hall, a man boldly barged in. His body was as straight as a sword, and his eyes were as sharp as a cold star.

Not far behind him followed a small and thin eunuch.

When seeing Ye He, Zhu Changluo's tightly focused eyes suddenly relaxed, and after seeing Wang An's appearance, Zhu Changluo had a smile on his face.

Under the strange eyes of everyone, Ye He went up to the hall proudly, "The emperor's close attendant, Wang An, was ordered by Eunuch Huang, the eunuch of Li Bingbi, to send the emperor's imperial pen and Zhu Zhu, please read it personally!"

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was originally in a mess, fell into dead silence for an instant... Empress Dowager Li, who pretended to be unconscious, had opened her eyes.

Wang An, who was sweating on his head and his face was pale, took out a copy of the fever-covered memorial book from his arms, and presented it respectfully.

Shen Yiguan, who was full of suspicion, took it over, suddenly his thoughts flashed, and he smiled instantly!

I recognized at a glance that it was the memorial that I had handed over after I entered the palace on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. After opening it, Shen Yiguan knelt down upright, and shouted long live: "Your Majesty is holy, I wait for your decree!"

Empress Dowager Li was speechless for a while after reading the excerpt, and suddenly she rolled her eyes and fell straight down... this time she was really dizzy.

Shen Yiguan personally held the brochure and walked in front of the ministers for a round, and the expressions on the faces of all the ministers were very exciting.

No matter how you look at it, this is a mediocre application for the establishment of the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince. The idea is not novel, and the literary talent is also average, but the surprise lies in... At the end of this notebook, there is a sentence of approval in cinnabar red pen.

"Immediately appoint the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince!"

Just now, His Majesty the Supreme Harmony fought for the position of the crown prince, but now, everything has been settled...

If the name is right, the words are right, and when it happens, it will come naturally, and no one can find the slightest reason to refute it...

Concubine Zheng Guifei's face was as pale as snow, and she stared at the handwriting that she regarded as her life. Her eyes were desperate and fierce, desolate and pitiful. The flowers that had bloomed in full bloom were finally ready to thank.

On the second day of February in the 20th year of Wanli, King Rui Zhu Changluo's self-cultivation, which was expected and expected by all, achieved a positive result and ascended the throne of the crown prince.

This day is destined to be remembered by history. The farce of fighting for the country that kicked off in the 14th year of Wanli forced the four chief assistants, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, and Zhao Zhigao, and nearly a hundred people were dismissed, resigned, and assigned. , Tingzhang, even at this last moment, there is still a mess, the imperial concubine, queen mother, ministers, and princes have been entangled for several times, and now everything is on this day, this moment, a dramatic end, the struggle for the country. The drama finally drew to a close.

In a small courtyard outside the Forbidden City, several dim candles flickered in the hall.

The constantly beating light made a figure reflected on the wall longer and shorter, making it appear erratic and bizarre.

Under the shadow of the lamp, there was a person kneeling quietly, with a gray face and a depressed expression. It was Gu Xiancheng who suffered a serious setback in the court three days ago.

The figure finally turned around and snorted heavily.

Gu Xiancheng hurriedly lowered his head, and said anxiously: "Master, please punish me, it's my disciple's incompetence."

One side of Daoist Chongxu's face was hidden in the dim light so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but there was no trace of anger in his deep voice: "Forget it, that kid is resourceful and cunning like a fox, but you are not as good as him!"

Although the master didn't blame him, Gu Xiancheng felt bitterness in his mouth. He was really unwilling to lose a game that was supposed to win in such a muddled manner, but he couldn't figure it out, so he made a secret decree Why was it eaten clean by silverfish?Is it really God's will?
"In the game, success or failure is in the sky!" Seeing his dejected expression, Master Chongxu immediately guessed what he was thinking in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Those who want to achieve great things, don't they lose every time? Although he can sit on it, he may not be able to sit securely... let's do it again!"

Gu Xiancheng collected his mind and replied with a wry smile: "Master taught me that the disciple is short-sighted." Suddenly he thought of something, and his face became a little ashamed: "Master, Xue Lan has been hit a lot this time, if she stays in the palace again , this disciple is afraid that both Empress Dowager Li and Prince Rui will harm her..."

For some reason, when thinking of Concubine Zheng, Gu Xiancheng always felt a little inexplicably irritated and worried, and he was already thinking secretly: I must see her in the next few days, and persuade her to leave the palace as soon as possible. Any extra day is dangerous.

Daoist Chongxu was silent for a moment, "If it wasn't for that stupid concubine's desperate pursuit of urgency, how could there be today's defeat!"

Chongxu's voice could be heard to be calm and murderous, which made Gu Xiancheng fly out of his wits, and fell on the ground without daring to say a word.

Daoist Chongxu stared at him, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Forget it, for your sake, I won't bother with her any more."

"Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness. This disciple and Xue Lan never forget their great kindness."

"Find a chance and take the remaining red pill, this thing must not be lost!"

Gu Xiancheng repeatedly agreed, anyway, he had made up his mind to see Concubine Zheng, so he just took it back in person.

Daoist Chongxu suddenly turned around: "We must strike while the iron is hot. Three days later will be the crown prince's canonization ceremony and coronation ceremony. It is time to send out the congratulatory gifts we have prepared. I think many people will be happy to see them at that time."
