Everyone listened attentively. His Majesty has been ill recently, and the court meetings have been changed to once every three days, and he often fails to attend. There is vague news in the palace that His Majesty's old illness has relapsed this winter, and his health has become worse. This news makes everyone My heart was scratching my head, but I couldn't get any more news. Only a few important ministers in the court could see me at any time, and Academician Wei was one of them. Everyone came here in full today, and some of them wanted to hear the inside story.
Everywhere was quiet, Feng Zhiwei said leisurely: "Your Majesty talked to me about Chang Xi's twelve years ago, and said that at that time, there was no need to do everything by himself. Now, the older I get, the more I work, and my body has some bones. It’s too much to bear.”
Everyone was silent for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of her words. What is the difference between Chang Xi twelve years ago and now? Someone thought about it and turned pale.
Twelve years ago in Changxi, there was a prince!
At that time, in order to train the prince and make him familiar with state affairs as soon as possible, Emperor Tiansheng made the prince supervise the country for half a year. The prince and several brothers were in charge of the six ministries and domestic affairs. Only major state affairs were handled by his majesty.
Your Majesty is finally going to establish a crown prince?
Everyone was immediately short of breath and looked at Feng Zhiwei with straight eyes, but Feng Zhiwei did not speak and played with a jade pot in his hand casually.
At this time, everyone noticed that her wine bottle was different from others. It was a whole piece of sapphire, carved into the shape of a peony flower, and the dragon spine handle was exquisite. When the light shone over, you could vaguely see the convex carving "Chu" on the handle. "Character.
Chu, Prince Chu’s Mansion.
This must be a gift from King Chu to the great scholar of Wei?
Officials are very sensitive. At this time and on this occasion, Academician Wei raised such a topic and displayed such a thing intentionally or unintentionally. The meaning immediately made countless people think deeply.
Since His Majesty discussed this topic with Grand Scholar Wei in depth, he must have hinted at his favorite candidate. If it were not the King of Chu, Grand Scholar Wei would definitely shelve all objects that could show a good relationship with the King of Chu, instead of being so blatant. Show the good friendship between the two.
That’s right, besides King Chu, who else is there?
Some people looked around and found that although there were many hairpins, there were not the most prominent members of the Chu King's camp. It was obvious that Wei University Scholar was here to advocate for the Chu King, and the rest were avoiding suspicion to avoid suspicion. He was attacked for forming a faction and seeking power.
"It's a pity that His Highness Seventh Prince is not here. He used to like the Gu Yue Qingxue Tea in my house the most." Feng Zhiwei said calmly.
Everyone's expressions flashed again - His Majesty is old, the crown prince is about to be selected, His Royal Highness Ten has average qualifications, but His Highness Seventh, the most competitive, is still supervising the army in the south. Doesn't it mean that His Majesty's heart is only with the King of Chu?
"The Ming Dynasty does not speak secretly, and there is nothing to hide from you and your lords." Feng Zhiwei knocked on the wine cup and said, "The country cannot live without a king and father for a day. The inheritance of the ancestral temple is a top priority. Now this situation , As a minister, you must not protect yourself and ignore the affairs of the country. Brothers have to make mistakes. Even if Your Majesty is angry and punishes me for making irresponsible remarks on the government, he will not care."
Everyone bowed their heads and drank, thinking that you all know who your Majesty wants to make as the crown prince. The last seal was not to your Majesty's liking. How could you be so angry? If you not only cater to the old master, but also please the new master, I am afraid that you will be successful in the first place and then move up to the next level, right?
Everyone's eyes were rolling in the wine cups, and they were already mentally drafting the memorial for the prince.
Whoever is the first to request the King of Chu to be crown prince will be guaranteed wealth and prosperity for decades to come!
The whole hall was silent for a moment, and then pretended to be lively again. Gradually, some people began to leave. After these people started, more and more people became unable to sit still and resigned for various reasons.
Feng Zhiwei sat high on the table and watched with a smile as those people left with excited expressions. It can be imagined that when they walked out of this door today, they would immediately gallop on their horses towards what they thought would be the honor and pampering of their lives.
This was the last thing she did with Wei Zhi's influence.
Tomorrow, please ask the King of Chu to write memorials for the crown prince. The memorials will be piled high on your majesty’s desk, causing the most suspicious old emperor to be fully vigilant and uneasy.
Tomorrow many people will be denounced, many people will be investigated, many people will be implicated. Tomorrow the emperor will be shocked by the power of King Chu’s camp, shocked by King Chu’s impatient ambition for the throne, shocked by When someone is approaching the imperial power, he will finally make up his mind to attack that imaginary enemy with all his strength.
And she will be the first to bear the brunt of being demoted from the capital for advocating and shouting for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to establish a crown prince.
She wants to go to that vast sea and sky, and spread the blood of her enemies everywhere.
When she came back, she was a completely different person.
Feng Zhi smiled faintly, the smile far away from her eyes. The clear wine swayed, reflecting her plain body. The sky behind her was split by the slanting plum branches.
Go ahead.
Look at the banquet on the golden stage today.
Full of ambition in the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of Changxi's eighteenth year, on the peaceful New Year's Eve, when all the government offices were about to seal their holidays, a widespread "please establish a prince" scandal quickly swept through the entire court.
Overnight, the desk of the imperial study room was filled with memorials from officials of various ministries and departments. They were of different lengths and different tones, but the content was surprisingly consistent - please make the King of Chu the crown prince.
The memorials of the officials were somewhat hesitant. They only said that the crown prince cannot be held in high esteem for a long time, and he asked your majesty to make a silent choice as soon as possible. Most of the officials' memorials were direct and frank, full of praise and admiration for the king of Chu. The words are just short of saying that without His Highness, the country would be destroyed.
The first person to give the memorial was a Hanlin bachelor. This man was good at digging and was known as the bachelor of the wall. After receiving a reminder from the great bachelor of Wei, he returned home and wrote all night long. He wrote brilliantly and wrote a lot of articles, all of which were used to carve the portrait of the future emperor. His talent, virtue and meritorious deeds only wish to shine in His Majesty’s eyes and make the King of Chu feel grateful.
The bachelor in the court was reading a memorial. Emperor Tiansheng's eyes were not bright, and he couldn't see clearly from a distance for a long time. The emperor only said solemnly: "Everyone loves you and you have your foundation. After going to court, you will vote for Haoyunxuan. The cabinet will report to me later."
At that time, the King of Chu knelt down without his crown and thanked him profusely. At that time, the old emperor's face was hidden in the shadows, and he gently comforted his son.
What a royal scene of harmony, fatherly kindness, sonship and filial piety. The ministers saw it and felt that they were doing the right thing.
