Chapter 2768 Gui Zi Scroll The position of a single husband is in it
Indeed, reality is always more funny, absurd and unexpected than imagined, at least that is what Feng Ziying thinks.
In his opinion, this child's play abdication and wearing a yellow robe seemed too hasty and rough. Emperor Xuan Shun's abdication was as if he had escaped from prison. Gu Bingqian, Tang Mi and others were so flattering that they directly destroyed the original tightness. It touches the psychological bottom line of civil servants who want to maintain their integrity.
One person fell, ten thousand people fell, Gu Tangmi and three people took the lead, and Xu Guangqi bowed calmly, which directly caused the whole situation to break up.
Immediately afterwards, Cui Jingrong and Chai Ke also bowed coyly. Although the three of them were stopped by Feng Ziying, this action meant that they were broken.
Following closely, the Songjiang Gang represented by Lu Yanzhang, Dong Qichang, Zhang Nai and Yuan Keli, plus Pan Ruzhen and Fu Shi, were the first to bow down, followed by Li Banghua, Zhu Guozhen, Wang Yongguang and others.
Sun Chengzong was very straightforward. He bowed directly and expressed his attitude, and then took the initiative to resign.
This also set a precedent, and then almost everyone followed suit. They worshiped first and then resigned to show that they were worshiping for the sake of the common people and the country. However, resigning showed that they were not willing to serve for selfish power.
A large crowd of people followed suit, which also opened Feng Ziying's eyes.
They probably felt that this method was the best way to embody the moral integrity of a scholar. It not only avoided the risk of having a knife or ax cut into the neck, but also showed off one's character and even retained a bit of leeway.
After all, it is normal for scholars to retire from office, and it is also common practice for them to resume their careers.
Now that everyone has resigned from office, when the new dynasty is established, officials will naturally be needed to manage the government.
The new emperor issued a new edict to return to the court, pretending to ask for political advice, and then naturally returned to officialdom.
"So all these guys came out like this, even Duke Ziqiang and Duke Zishu did this?" Feng Ziying slumped on the throne helplessly.
The shadows of candles in Fengtian Hall are dim.
Anyone who can stand in this hall at this time can be said to be an absolute hardcore Conglong.
Gu Bingqian, Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi had just left.
These three people have made great achievements, but in terms of closeness or importance, they are not as close as the few people in front of them.
Xu Guangqi, Lian Guoshi, Feng Ziyi, Fu Shi, Pan Ruzhen, and Zhou Peisheng.
Xu Guangqi was the first to express his attitude. Although he was not popular among the scholars because he believed in Western religion, he was a cabinet minister after all. With this bow, he relieved Cui Jingrong and Chai Ke, making Cui Jingrong and Chai Ke With the support, Chai Ke would not suffer the fiercest criticism.
It can be said that the effect is no less effective than the initiative of Gu Tangmi and the others.
Although Lian Guoshi came to worship him at a later stage, this does not affect Feng Ziying's trust in him. This is based on the agreement between the two of them on many views. As for whether Feng Ziying is the chief minister or the emperor, it is difficult to change the identity of the two. relationships between people.
Needless to say, Feng Ziyi, as the commander of the Long Jinwei, made great contributions in cooperation with Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing during this period. Whether it was the stability of the clan, Emperor Xuan Shun's active cooperation, or the intermediary contact with Niu Wang and others, all It is inseparable from the control of Long Jinwei's eyes.
Fu Shi and Pan Ruzhen are Feng Ziying's most loyal subordinates and colleagues. It can be said that the imprint of Feng's family has been deeply imprinted on them. They cannot be removed no matter what. Their positions on any issue can only be absolutely consistent. .
Needless to say, Zhou Peisheng is Feng Ziying's most important chess piece in the palace, but now, the role of the original chess piece will be taken to a new level. He will quickly become Feng Ziying's most effective minion. Together with Feng Ziyi, he will help Feng Ziying control both inside and outside the palace. , otherwise Feng Ziying would not dare to close her eyes while sleeping in this palace.
Wang Chenghu came and went.
This was his busiest time. The palace suddenly changed its doors. To say that he, Kuang Tiangeng and Xu Chao were the happiest.
The original role was to monitor and prevent abnormal movements in the palace. Now the responsibilities have changed. Guarding and prevention is to ensure Feng Ziying's safety in the palace.
Feng Ziying has already sent people to invite Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing and his father.
By this time, there was no need to cover up much, and there was no way out, so we could only keep going down.
This road is just a single-plank bridge. If it slips or goes sideways, it will lead to death, and it will also lead to death. The fate of so many people in Feng Mansion and the whole family are tied together. Just because of this, Feng Ziying is gone. No choice is left.
Feng Ziying sat slumped on the throne with a dull look in her eyes, showing no grace at all. It made Xu Guangqi and Lian Guoshi sigh with emotion but also a little funny.
Only after observing today's scene from the most intuitive and closest distance did the two of them realize that it was not easy to sit on the throne, and it would be even harder to be suddenly pushed into this position.
Feng Ziying has the support of almost all the warriors, which is a guarantee for him to sit in this position. The full support of the warriors also puts a huge burden on Feng Ziying, which means that he cannot betray such a huge group, otherwise he will be Its backlash.
But to balance the interests and relationships between warriors and scholars and civilian officials, Xu Guangqi and Lian Guoshi thought they couldn't do it, so they had to look to Feng Ziying.
In addition, there is another group here, businessmen.
The power of businessmen should not be underestimated, and Xu Guangqi and Lian Guoshi both realized that the power of industry and commerce was becoming more and more powerful. They had more and more spokesmen in the court, and they were becoming more and more blatant. Like the Songjiang Gang, they had become an emerging industrial and commercial force. of representatives.
Although Lu Yanzhang, Dong Qichang, Zhang Nai and others can only be regarded as marginal figures among the group of important ministers, Yuan Keli is not included. Moreover, they followed the statement of the elder San Ge, which gave many civil servants in the palace today who are still hesitant a warning. The great demonstration effect and the decisive appearance of these few people made many civil servants finally abandon their embarrassment and rigidity and pay homage to Feng Ziying as courtiers.
Seeing that Feng Ziying was still in a daze, Xu Guangqi coughed dryly and cleared his throat: "Zi... Your Majesty, it's time to consider the next thing."
Lian Guoshi was standing aside in a daze at first, but when he heard what Xu Guangqi said, he woke up from a dream and said quickly: "Zi... Your Majesty, Mr. Zi Xianggong is right, it's time to consider the next step. Today, when these people went back and submitted their resignations, the imperial court was almost paralyzed and had to be quickly reorganized and arranged to organize the Eight Departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."
Neither Fu Shi nor Pan Ruzhen spoke. It was not easy for them to talk to each other on this topic.
This wave of resignations accounted for almost 70% of the important ministers. Among the cabinet ministers, Cui Jingrong and Chai Ke also submitted their resignations, except Xu Guangqi, which made Xu Guangqi even more maverick.
Among the top and second-rank ministers such as the eight ministers of the Ministry of Finance and the left and right censors of the Duchayuan, except for practicing state affairs, all others also submitted their resignations.
Among the other important ministers, except for a few members of the Songjiang Gang, Bi Ziyan and Guo Zhengyu did not submit their resignations, and even Geng Ruqi submitted his resignations.
It can be said that there are only less than ten important ministers left in the court, but this court is an old dynasty, not a new dynasty. There are still many issues that need to be discussed and determined at the moment, including the name of the country and the name of the reign. It needs to be taken out as soon as possible, and these require Feng Ziying to discuss with the surrounding people.
Feng Ziying shook her head with some reluctance: "Now that I am groggy and my heart is like a paste, how can I still think about this? Isn't it? Or maybe this situation is irreversible today?"
Xu Guangqi and Lian Guoshi both smiled bitterly.
This person seems to be a little bit unable to accept it. Is it because he really can't accept it and doesn't want to accept it, or does he feel that it comes too suddenly and makes his mentality a little unbalanced?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, now that we have reached this point, there is no point in talking about it anymore. Maybe there was room for redemption before yesterday, but now, with your wisdom, you will not be able to understand this truth, right? The way out is a dead end, and you will be escorted. Everyone who pays attention to you will fall into a state of eternal destruction. Now it is time for you to cheer up and consider the problem with your current identity."
Practice state affairs and sigh.
He didn't agree with it before, but there was nothing he could do. But at this point, he could only turn disadvantages into advantages as much as possible. He also had his own ambitions to realize. Feng Ziying becoming emperor might be more beneficial to him.
Xu Guangqi and Lian Guoshi both believe that this should be a short-term confusion. With Feng Ziying's determination and wisdom, as long as he adjusts, he can quickly get back on track, but before that, they still need to remind him and help him recover as soon as possible. .
"Xiangong Zi, Jun Yu, how can I get along with you in such a position that I have never imagined?" Feng Ziying still seemed to have not come out, and even became a little nervous and babbled, "Former teacher , colleagues, classmates, friends, and even wives and concubines, have suddenly become a single husband and a widower. You can't understand this feeling. Well, if it has been like this since childhood, then that's it, but now everything is fine the night before, and now I am alone. I was alone in a dangerous building, and when I looked up, there was no one there..."
Hearing Feng Ziying's monologue-like muttering to herself, Xu Guangqi and Lian Guoshi both looked at each other.
They could barely understand Feng Ziying's state of mind at this time. Thinking about it, all the original relationships had been almost broken. Teachers, friends, colleagues, classmates, all these relationships no longer existed, and they all needed to be repositioned. Coming to rebuild, this feeling is not pleasant, and even the wives and concubines at home may have to look at it differently.
Thinking about how this person, who seems to be a mother-in-law, has three head wives in the family, how to settle the position in the harem, Xu Guangqi and Lian Guoshi both felt numb when thinking of this.
A monarch's affairs, family affairs are state affairs. This person's family affairs seem to be more troublesome than anyone else. Not only does it involve the master of the harem, but also the identity of the eldest son. Either one of them is enough to ignite a fire that fills the sky and burns countless people to death. .
