Chapter two hundred and eighty second: what people want
Sun Chengzong was a man who had been in charge of Liaodong, so he naturally knew the power of those arrogant soldiers and powerful generals.
Although these people huddled in the city when they met the Jiannu people, they would almost lose all of them once they went to fight.
However... the methods of these people impressed Sun Chengzong.
At least he is very capable of fighting in the nest.
Because of this, Sun Chengzong had already vaguely felt a huge crisis and was gradually brewing.
Let’s not talk about these external troubles.
What will happen if there is no master in the world in the capital alone?
Sun Chengzong said with a tense face: "Now, the troops in the inner palace are in the hands of Eunuch Wei. Apart from that, what is difficult to control are the camps in the capital. It is a troublesome now, and it is necessary to stabilize the situation in the capital."
Huang Liji was naturally not stupid. He knew that the more he was at this time, the first thing he was to be confused was the internal one, so he said: "It's only nine thousand years old. He has a warrior camp and can enter and exit the palace ban at any time. Otherwise... I'm afraid that the situation in the capital will not be stable."
This is the truth. At this time, whoever can enter and exit the palace ban will decide to turn danger into danger in the face of this huge crisis.
After all...if something happens to Your Majesty, then... the concubine and Queen Zhang in the harem, to some extent, their decisions have great power.
"If... I mean... what if... what if... your Majesty really has an accident, Mr. Sun, in your opinion, who should succeed the Grand Principal?"
Huang Liji said, looking at Sun Chengzong with a faint look.
Sun Chengzong said: "You really want to know?"
Huang Liji looked at him nervously. Sun Chengzong's opinions were very important. On the one hand, he had a huge reputation, and he was also a bachelor of the cabinet. With his experience in supervising Liaodong, I am afraid... he was also quite prestigious in the Guanning army.
Any choice for such a person can have a huge impact.
In the eyes of Wei Zhongxian and Huang Liji, of course, it is better for the crown prince to ascend the throne. Although His Highness Changsheng is young, it doesn’t matter how old the emperor is. At worst, Huang Liji is Zhang Juzheng and Wei Zhongxian is Feng Bao.
But the situation is a little different now. It was natural for the father to die and the son to succeed him.
The difference in the current situation is that if His Majesty died suddenly and might even fall into the hands of Jiannu or Guanning rebels, then the country will be in a critical moment.
If we follow the ancestral rules, it is very likely that after the Ming Yingzong was captured after the Tumu Fort Incident, we would establish the younger brother of Ming Yingzong ascend the throne and become Emperor Daizong.
Now... Emperor Tianqi also has a younger brother, and this person is in the capital.
And this person is very popular with the hearts of the people.
So, if someone proposes that when the country is in danger, it is better to establish a Changjun, how should we deal with it?
The reason why Huang Liji was not sure about Sun Chengzong was because Sun Chengzong's personality was a little hard to explain. What if he really thought that the country needed the eldest prince in times of crisis?
What if he wants to be Yu Qian?
Therefore, Huang Li stared at Sun Chengzong nervously, and refused to relax at all.
However, Sun Chengzong smiled at this moment and said lightly: "Well, I won't tell you."
Huang Liji: "..."
Sun Chengzong turned around and said, "Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain. It's too early to say this now. If Your Majesty turns danger into a barrage, everything will be free of trouble!"
Huang Liji had no choice but to remain silent.
Compared to Sun Chengzong's calmness, Huang Liji did not have such confidence.
Sun Chengzong's reputation determines that his situation will not be bad whether it is His Highness Changsheng ascended the throne or the King of Xin Zhu Youke succeeded to the throne.
As a famous eunuch party, Huang Liji was not so lucky.
Another day later, an urgent report came from Liaodong.
When the Jiannu people heard that the emperor was in Ningyuan, they had led elite troops to attack Ningyuan at night.
As soon as the news came out, the court was in an uproar again.
Wei Zhongxian was not calm at all.
At any time, Wei Zhongxian always looks unhurried and impatient.
But now it's different. After all, he knows better than anyone else that everything he has given to Emperor Aoki. If Emperor Aoki has any accident, then... he will be finished with everything.
In addition to deploying defense in case of accidents.
Wei Zhongxian is now in a hurry. Cheng Ri and Keshi are in the harem, while making people look at His Highness Changsheng, while trying to negotiate with the concubine and Empress Zhang in the palace.
His relationship with Queen Zhang is not good, and his relationship with each other is very stiff.
This is because Keshi once hoped that her niece could compete in the harem and replace Queen Zhang.
But now, it is difficult to maintain relationships for a while.
However, Queen Zhang was very calm. She said nothing to the outside world, but said that His Majesty's auspicious person would have a heavenly appearance.
Her ambiguous attitude actually made many people restless to some extent.
Obviously... a power vacuum will never lack speculators.
Just early in the morning one day.
Misty.
There were already pedestrians walking in a hurry on the street, and a group of scholars wore silk scarves and Confucian shirts, swaying across the market.
Of course, a group of scholars will not be able to pay attention to it deliberately.
But when they arrived outside the Xinwang Mansion, they suddenly felt a strange feeling from passers-by.
It looks like something is going to happen.
People living in the capital are different from those in other states.
Because I have been influenced by the emperor since I was a child and have been familiar with the inside story in the court. Although these inside stories are just watching flowers in the fog, people in the capital are very sensitive.
So many people couldn't help but stop.
At this time, the head scholar knelt outside the Xinwang Mansion.
Immediately afterwards, other scholars also bowed down one after another.
The eunuch in the royal palace was startled and hurriedly came out and said, "I dare to ask all the students here, what's wrong?"
In the Ming Dynasty, scholars could not be provoked, and even eunuchs in the royal palace needed to deal with them well.
The headed scholar said: "I am Wang Huan."
When I heard Wang Huan, the eunuch seemed to have heard of it.
This seems to be a great scholar with profound knowledge and is very famous in the capital. I heard that a school society was organized, and I don’t know whether it is clear to Donglin Academy. Of course, it is Donglin Academy in Wuxi.
I heard that this person was once a disciple of the Great Confucian scholar of Donglin, but now he has become a famous figure in the capital.
The eunuch became even more careful, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. Wang is there any injustice when he kneels here?"
"In the crisis of the country, how can we come to pay homage to His Highness Xin for personal injustice?" Wang Huan said authentically.
After hearing this, the eunuch looked solemn and asked again: "Then... why?"
Wang Huan said: "Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain. There are bandits and Jiannu staring at them, and there are arrogant soldiers and generals who are unjust. The capital is full of people's hearts and the country is in danger. To this day, a wise eldest prince should come out to take charge of government affairs on his behalf and follow the precedent of Yingzong. His Highness Duan, a minister of appearance, respects the wise and inferior people, uses his lovers to read poetry and books. At this moment, can he still stay away from home and be a rich and idle person? I beg His Highness Duan to enter the palace immediately, first meet with the concubine and the queen, discuss national affairs with the concubine and the queen, and then summon the scholars of the cabinet to agree on national policies to peace in the world."
The eunuch's heart was pounding. These words, if you say them on weekdays, will lose your head.
The current situation is not clear now, and such a thing happens...it may not be beneficial to His Highness King Xin.
But now, there are more and more people watching.
These dozens of scholars kneeled here for a long time, which was too eye-catching, so the eunuch hurriedly said, "We will convey this matter, so please go back to study."
Wang Huan smiled and said with a sigh: "Your Highness does not agree, and the students will not get up if they wait."
The eunuch was speechless and could not move at this time, so he had to nod and hurried back to the Xinwang Mansion.
In the hall, Zhu Youjian was walking back and forth with an anxious expression.
He actually knew what was happening outside, and he was worried at this time and seemed a little undecided.
Not long after, the eunuch came back. Zhu Youjian couldn't help but say first: "Parent Wang, who is the one who came?"
The eunuch is called Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen glanced at the worried Zhu Youjian and said, "Your Highness, you are a group of scholars, and the leader is called Wang Huan."
"Wang Huan?" Zhu Youjian was stunned, then became awe-inspiring and couldn't help but say, "But Mr. Wang from Songjiang Mansion?"
"It's him."
Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly and said, "He did this with good intentions. Now it is a matter of trouble, but the country is controlled by a group of clowns, and the lonely emperor..."
Wang Chengen carefully interrupted Zhu Youjian's next words and said, "Your Majesty... Please be careful of your words and beware of the partition walls."
Zhu Youjian immediately said, "That Zhang Jingyi is truly unforgivable. If he had not misled the emperor's brother, why would the emperor's brother have today? If this son is still alive, he would have killed this person in the future."
My own royal brother can't say it, it's okay to scold Zhang Jingyi.
Zhu Youjian showed a fierce light on his face, and then he became gentle: "What should I do? I am now in a dilemma."
Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian calmly. He could feel that deep in his heart, His Highness Xinwang had the intention to take charge of the great power. This opportunity was an opportunity for His Highness Xinwang.
But... Wang Chengen said: "Your Highness, you must not move lightly at this time. Now the factory guards are still in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, and the Warriors Camp is loyal to Wei Zhongxian. If you move lightly at this time, you will regret it if you make mistakes."
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sneer: "After the Tumu Fort Incident, Wang Zhen's gangs also held great power, but so what? People's hearts are lonely and he dares to move against the current, and he will definitely die without a place to bury him."
But...that's right.
