Although they were only separated by a wall, Zhu Youxiao didn't have too many things outside Nuan Pavilion.
The civil servants will no longer care about the emperor at this time. For them, the most important thing is to succeed in this change.
Zhang Ruitu is now full of confidence. He has already been in contact with Prince Qin and Prince Jin, and has also explained some things to them.
As long as the prince of the feudal lord is on his side, even if he cannot successfully support Guangfan and come back to take the throne, he will not let the ideas of Wang Zaijin, Lu Xiangsheng and others come true.
Zhu Cunshu and Zhu Shenxuan did not expect that the matter of establishing a crown prince would involve them.
Regarding the invitation from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, even if they had no political skills, they knew that this was a muddy water that they could not wade through.
Therefore, he refused repeatedly, saying that he was unwilling to go to the palace.
For them, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, it has no impact on them.
Their status as the heir to the vassal could not be changed. They could only wait for their father's death to inherit the hereditary title of king and live out their lives in glory and wealth.
What's more, the two of them also knew some inside information and knew that this was the emperor's plan, an invisible network.
If he got involved, I'm afraid he and the two of them would be drowned in it in just a few breaths.
"Your Majesty, this is related to the country and the country of our Ming Dynasty for eternity."
"The two princes are the heads of the sect. Do they really want to sit back and watch the female ministers of the Ming Dynasty take over and cause harm to the country and the people?"
Seeing the official crying in front of him, Zhu Cunshu and Zhu Shenxuan were not moved at all, and just said calmly:
"Sir, it's not that we two are unwilling, but that we really don't have the qualifications and power to participate in such a big event."
Zhu Shenxuan also echoed:
"Yes, if you insist on our sect participating, why not write a letter quickly and send it to Taiyuan immediately, leaving it to my father to make a decision?"
After hearing the answers from the two princes, the official knew that it was impossible for them to enter the palace to discuss matters.
So I could only return to Qianqing Palace in a melancholy mood.
Zhang Ruitu also looked confused when he saw him coming back alone.
After some questioning, he learned what had happened. He was so angry that he cursed Zhu Cunshu and Zhu Shenxuan in his heart.
The rest of the officials and ministers also had more or less complaints about Zhang Ruitu at this time.
They had been waiting in the palace for so long, but it was all in vain? What is this?
So at the suggestion of royalist officials, it was decided to adopt Wang Zaijin's opinion.
First, a report was made to the emperor to support Jian Guo as the crown prince. After everything was settled, he issued an imperial edict to the vassal and explained the whole story.
And how could Zhang Ruitu let them succeed so easily?
A group of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette came with all kinds of objections and rebuttals.
Officials who were Donglin Party members and Jiangnan nobles also realized that they had to take sides.
Moreover, they cannot support the establishment of a supervisory state according to the original plan.
Because a number of royalist officials with real power, such as Wang Zaijin and Xu Guangqi, had already supported him.
Even if they, these marginal figures in the court, support him, it will be of no use.
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, and seeing Zhang Ruitu's determination with his own eyes, he immediately joined in to support Zhang Ruitu.
….
At this time, they had no other choice but to stand on Zhang Ruitu's side and support Guangfan.
Once they succeed, they will be credited to the heavens. It will be easy to regain power in the court.
So the two waves of people started to quarrel fiercely in the Qianqing Palace, as if they were in a vegetable market, and it was a mess.
The civil servants did not care about their image and even made a fuss about the royal majesty, but the military attachés did not say a word.
After Zhu Youxiao's military reform and rectification, a large number of nobles were killed. At this time, there were not many military attaches high enough to attend this meeting.
Like Zhang Weixian, a spectator outside the chess game,
Naturally, it will not be contaminated at all.
Guo Yingqi and a few other nobles had also been reminded by hints, and they all stood aside silently watching the show.
As for Cao Wenzhao, Ma Xianglin, Qin Bangping and other generals, they were all the emperor's confidants. Without the emperor's gold medals and decrees, they would not do anything.
Although there were many officials and ministers who seemed to be friends with them or try to win over them, they simply disappeared and chose to avoid suspicion.
Zhang Weixian, who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of elite Yulin Army on behalf of the emperor, even cursed and made various verbal threats to those who wanted to take advantage of him, without giving them any face.
Therefore, although there were many people present in today's debate, it was mainly the battle between royalist officials headed by Wang Zaijin and Xu Guangqi, Zhang Ruitu, the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan gentry.
[In view of the general environment,
For a whole afternoon, the inner hall of Qianqing Palace was not quiet for even a breath.
When the time limit given by the emperor came, no one on either side backed down and still insisted on their opinions.
And Zhu Youxiao did not read the memorial they submitted.
They just let Wei Zhongxian choose and classify according to the people they recommended.
Zhu Youxiao has always understood that it is useless to just listen to what people say, but to see what people do.
At this critical moment when they needed to stand up urgently, he didn't believe they could still suppress their inner desires and ambitions.
And this is also Zhu Youxiao's test of Huang Ming's ancestral precepts.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system played a role in stabilizing the Ming Dynasty, it restricted the development of the Ming Dynasty in many aspects.
Every time emperors in the past wanted to make changes or reforms, some people would use the ancestral system as an excuse to stop them.
It would be okay if the emperor had real power and his words worked, just like Zhu Di did whatever he wanted regardless of his ancestors' instructions.
But if the emperor is weak and his decrees cannot leave the palace, like Emperor Jingtai and Xiaozong, then the foundation of the Ming Dynasty may have to be hollowed out in three to five years.
That's why he appointed Ruifan as the supervisor and pushed him into the ring with Zhu Youjian.
Then he hid behind the scenes to see what the officials in the court were really thinking.
At the same time, it can also indirectly leverage the ancestral system and pave the way for future reforms.
"The number one scholar, Lu Xiangsheng, really opened my eyes today. I didn't expect that he, a small fifth-rank official who has not yet entered the officialdom, would question and refute a minister in front of the ministers."
When Zhu Youxiao asked about today's events, Wei Zhongxian also told the truth and did not hesitate in his praise of Lu Xiangsheng.
Zhu Youxiao was also surprised. Lu Xiangsheng was indeed a bit stubborn, and he was also someone who wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty.
But at his age and seniority, he dared to stand up. I have to say that he is indeed very charming.
It also verified from the side that Zhu Youxiao had not misjudged the person.
"In the past few days, send all your subordinates to me, and I will ask Yang Huan's Beizhen Fusi to cooperate with you."
"Remember, after the court officials returned, what they did, what they said, and who they met with. In short, your subordinates must know about any troubles and report them to me."
"If you mess up my business, you, a majestic factory owner, will be in trouble."
