At this time, Wang Zaijin, Xu Guangqi and others were extremely happy.
Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't have a good relationship with them, he even opposed and questioned their decisions on certain things.
But at this moment, there is no doubt that their considerations and opinions are consistent on the matter of establishing a reserve.
That is Zhu Changhao, the supervisor who supported the emperor's personal appointment and was preparing to succeed the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
But before they said a word, Lu Xiangsheng was already speechless, and Zhang Ruitu was speechless.
"Everyone, although Lu Xiangsheng has a low official rank and a low-profile person, he is also a subject of the Ming Dynasty and a subject of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Although the following is guilty of the above, I dare to guarantee it with my life. What I said today is absolutely out of public interest and is for the future of our Ming Dynasty."
"I recommend recommending His Royal Highness Jianguo as the crown prince to inherit the throne."
After saying this, Lu Xiangsheng bowed to the officials from all directions, and then slowly walked aside.
Lu Xiangsheng's words have shown his firm support for the supervision of the country.
And everyone naturally understood that His Majesty was still alive, and Lu Xiangsheng was also a favorite of His Majesty.
Although his official position is low, no one really looks down upon him.
Zhang Ruitu's incompetence and rage also made some officials who had the same idea as him or planned to stand with him.
At this time, they also stopped moving forward, looking at each other without making a sound at all, they were still waiting and watching.
If they take the wrong team at this time, it will mean that their career will end here, and they may even be liquidated, putting their lives in danger.
No one dares to gamble with their career or life on an uncertain outcome.
"What Jiandou said is right. In my opinion, His Highness the Supervisor is the most suitable successor to the throne."
"As soon as we come to the affairs of the imperial court, His Highness the Supervisor is already familiar with it. He has lived in the capital for a long time and has a sufficient understanding of some of the imperial court's policies."
"Secondly, with the current situation of our Ming Dynasty, we really can't make any mistakes, let alone be without a king for a day."
"The disasters in Shaanxi and Shandong are still continuing, and there are tens of thousands of troops fighting the rebellion in Yunnan. Now we have reached the most critical moment."
Xu Guangqi's statement also made the balance of this stalemate begin to tilt.
As the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, his opinions and attitudes naturally carry great weight.
Not to mention the support of Wang Zaijin, a cabinet minister and Minister of War, as well as the Minister of Military Affairs.
After the two made their stance clear, some officials present echoed their stance.
Even Wang Zhong, the mastermind behind the incident, chose to side with them.
For him, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. What matters is that the emperor must not be what he is now.
Zhang Ruitu was extremely anxious as he saw that his plan was getting further and further away from reality.
Whether he can move forward and gain higher status and political capital depends on today.
Therefore, he was also cruel and gritted his teeth and said:
"How can such a major matter be decided so hastily?"
"I am not against His Royal Highness Jianguo's succession to the throne, but rather to serve as the governor of Guangfan, in line with the ancestral precepts of Emperor Gao, and in line with the hearts of all people in the world."
"You may wish to think about it. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, in all the dynasties that have peacefully succeeded to the throne, which one is not succeeded by the son after the death of the father, or by the brother after the death of the brother?"
"What's more, Emperor Gao had established such ancestral precepts as early as the founding of the country?"
"Guangfan is the most orthodox successor. If you don't support Guangfan, choose someone from another sect."
"Let's not talk about how the people of the world view it. Even the other sects and vassals, how can they be convinced?"
"Don't forget, everyone, we have dozens of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. If they are not convinced, will the country of the Ming Dynasty be stable?"
After saying this, Zhang Ruitu tossed his sleeves and robe and walked aside, thinking to himself:
Since you can't successfully support King Guang, I will find another way. It depends on whether you dare to offend dozens of feudal kings.
.
And his words did have some effect. After all, this was a bad rule.
Isn't this the reason for the change of seizing the door?
The cabinet, Yu Qian and others worked in such a mess that they actually abandoned the legitimate heir, Emperor Xianzong, who had long been established as the crown prince.
He went to establish a vassal king who could not be beaten with eight poles as the supervisor of the country, and supported him from the position of supervisor to the emperor's throne.
When Emperor Jing was seriously ill, Yu Qian still refused to give up. He actually wanted to abandon the orthodox heir again and establish Xiangfan's son as emperor.
The results of it? Wasn't it snatched back by Emperor Yingzong?
And among those officials and ministers who supported the establishment of Emperor Jing, which one was not liquidated?
Especially Yu Qian, he was the first to be killed after Yingzong was restored to power.
And how similar is the current scene to that of the past?
"Uncle Zong has this concern, so we naturally have to consider it."
"But at this critical moment, it is already too late to solicit the opinions of the sects."
"If that time really comes and we explain the whole story to each clan, I think they will understand."
Wang Zaijin also didn't expect that he would react so quickly and actually bring out those sects who had always had a very low sense of presence to speak out. Therefore, he seemed to be a little unprepared, so he just had to deal with it first.
Naturally, it was impossible for Zhang Ruitu to regress. Zongfan was his last trump card. If he could not use this to support Guangfan, he would really have nothing to do.
"I don't agree with what Grand Sima said. It's true that vassals are granted to various provinces and places, but the Crown Prince of Qin and the Crown Prince of Jin are currently in the capital."
"Qin Fan is our first vassal in the Ming Dynasty. Qin Fan and Jin Fan are also the sects of Ling and Zongzheng. Since your two highnesses are the heirs of the two vassals, why don't we ask your two highnesses for their opinions before making a decision?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ruitu winked at his confidant.
After realizing what Zhang Ruitu meant, this person immediately agreed. Seeing that no one objected, he recommended himself to the palace to invite the two princes into the palace.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhang Ruitu also swept away the anger and depression that Lu Xiangsheng had just provoked.
The other officials were silent, and even Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Zaijin and others did not refute.
The inner hall of Qianqing Palace, filled with officials, fell into an eerie silence.
But Zhu Youxiao, who was in Nuan Pavilion, didn't care at all. He was looking through Qin Liangyu's victory report and the progress of the war.
Among them is the memorial to impeach Duke Mu Changzuo of Guizhou.
Mu Changzuo also filed a memorial not long ago to impeach Qin Liangyu.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao only felt that one was as big as the other.
This was the reason why he wanted to conquer Monan and Southwest in person despite the opposition of all the people and the opposition of the courtiers.
People are more or less selfish. No matter what means Zhu Youxiao uses to control his people, it will consume a huge amount of energy.
It is impossible for him to judge who is right and who is wrong by reading two memorials.
But the war was urgent, and he could only try his best to balance the two sides and prevent the situation from getting worse.
He didn't want what happened during the Chongzhen period to happen again here.
