Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 524 Proposal for a New Emperor
According to the usual practice in previous years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the relatives of the emperor and the princes and ministers in Beijing will come to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and empress.

Originally, the ministers had already thought about it, and it was fine to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, but the queen had to come. If you don't look at the queen and look at the prince, that's the future emperor. Take a step back and say, even if no one looks at it, you have to come Happy New Year to the narrow-minded Grandpa Ye!

But before the civil and military officials who paid New Year’s greetings came to the palace, a big news broke out in the palace. A Japanese ninja assassinated the emperor.

Hearing this news, many people subconsciously associated it with Ye Xun. Some people even wondered if Eunuch Ye planned to let the emperor ascend to the sky, and then let the prince succeed him, so that he could continue to control the government by virtue of his relationship with the empress. ?

However, this statement and rumors will soon be self-defeating. Everyone knows that with Ye Xun's ability, there is no need to use such means to kill the emperor, and there are news from the Tai Hospital that the emperor is indeed crazy , delirious, and full of gibberish.

In fact, there have been rumors that the former emperor was harmed by the current young emperor, but that was just a rumor after all, and the government strictly forbids talking about it. Unable to come forward to refute the rumors.

Amidst the discussions, all the police officers from Xichang, Jinyiwei, and Shuntianfu were dispatched to strictly investigate shops and hotels related to Japan.

You must know that with the full opening of Ming Dynasty's economy and trade, many wealthy Japanese and North Korean businessmen have opened their own shops in the capital.

Even though it was the Chinese New Year, no businessman was willing to leave the wealthy Daming. Not to mention that Japan and North Korea were at war, even if there was no war, the prosperity there was far less than that of Daming. Now they almost regarded themselves as Daming people.

But when something like this happened, these shops would naturally bear the brunt. All the shop owners were taken away for interrogation, and no one was spared.

It's just that these shrewd foreign businessmen are not fighting alone. Behind every businessman there are dignitaries in Beijing and China as backers. If they are arrested, someone will naturally find these backers, so a long queue soon formed outside Ye Xun's mansion.

However, Ye Xun was not in the mansion at the moment, but was invited to the mansion by Zhang Weixian in the name of New Year's greetings, along with several elders from the cabinet.

There is a large population in Zhang Weixian's mansion, and today is the first day of the new year, so the mansion is still very lively inside and out.

But at the moment Zhang Weixian's inner study was very quiet, and the expressions on everyone's faces were also serious.

Yuan Keli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead to break the silence, and said in a deep voice, "Now that the rumors are spreading more and more widely, we have to take action."

In fact, Zhang Weixian called everyone here just for this matter. Imagine, a person who murdered the first emperor and is his biological father, what qualifications does he have to sit on the throne of the emperor?

Although many people know the truth of this matter, after all, no one revealed it. For the stability of the court, but also related to their own interests, everyone chose to remain silent. With him occupying the throne of the emperor, the vassal princes of various places may be the first to quit, otherwise there will be big troubles.

The old fox Zhang Weixian glanced at Yang Sichang, and then at Ye Xun. The meaning was obvious. If Ye Xun didn't nod, it would be useless for everyone to say anything.

Yang Sichang understood, turned his head to Ye Xun and said, "What do you think, father-in-law?"

Of course, Ye Xun was well aware of the small actions of several people, and said with a light smile: "It's very simple, the prince succeeds to the throne, the empress ascends to the empress dowager, and listens to the government behind the curtain."

"Listen to politics behind the curtain?"

It was the first time for several people to hear this word, but they could understand the meaning.

Fang Zhenru, the imperial censor of Zuodu, frowned and said, "Eunuch Ye, do you want the empress to participate in politics?"

"I don't think the queen will participate in politics, but the crown prince is young, if there is any court ceremony, the crown prince must be hugged by someone."

When Ye Xun said this, everyone understood and nodded in agreement.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the ancestral system. This kind of thinking has been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone, but they never thought that Ye Xun was paving the way for his son.

The supreme power of the Ming Empire must be in the hands of the emperor. As for the future of these veterans, if they are sensible, they will all have a good death. If not, Ye Xun can only say sorry. After all, compared with them, his son is still more important.

It can be said that the existence of these veterans also sounded the alarm to Ye Xun. The royal family has no power, and the matter of abolition and establishment is completely in the hands of others, so this kind of thing must be avoided.

The matter of the new emperor was settled in this way, and the enthronement ceremony had to be confirmed by the Qin Tianjian. As for what to do with Zhu Youxiao, everyone wisely did not make any suggestions or inquiries, because everyone knew that even though Zhu Youxiao The principal made a big mistake, but it was still not something they could deal with casually, so this matter could only fall on Ye Xun's head in the end, who made him have a strong relationship with the queen!

It was completely dark when we left Zhang's mansion, and the gate of the palace was closed at this time. Although Ye Xun could enter, he didn't want to break the rules. If they don't go back, Baozhu and the others don't have to wait for him to eat.

It can be said that Zhang Weixian's reaction was a bit unexpected to Ye Xun, and he still needs to analyze this matter calmly.

The face of the Celestial Dynasty cannot be profaned, so there is nothing wrong with the reactions of Zhang Weixian and others, but what about after that?
The new emperor's accession to the throne seems to be a matter of course, but it is tantamount to putting a splint on his son.

According to Ye Xun's education plan, the son can't stay in the deep palace all the time, but he can't do it when he becomes the emperor. The previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty set up various rules for themselves. If they want to break through these restrictions, let alone Let's have a bloodbath!But it's certainly not easy.

Ye Xun suddenly had a feeling that these old guys' actions were probably aimed at him.

Control the little emperor within the framework, and then follow their wishes. When the little emperor grows up, shouldn't he, a traitor, step aside?

Thinking of this, Ye Xun couldn't help showing a mocking smile. It seems that these old guys are still dissatisfied with him for manipulating the court situation behind his back!Can dissatisfaction be useful?
Back outside his mansion, he saw a carriage parked outside the mansion, and two short warriors stood under the carriage.

Seeing the standing posture of these two warriors, Ye Xun frowned immediately.

Japanese samurai, actually Japanese again?And came to the door.

Before Ye Xun could ask any questions, the guards guarding the door quickly greeted him.

"Reporting to Eunuch, there is a lady from Japan who wants to see you and has been waiting for a while."

Madam from Japan?
Ye Xun looked at the carriage with the curtain hanging down, then glanced at the two warriors who seemed to be bowing their heads, and raised the corner of his mouth, saying: "Please go to the living room."
