There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 296 I want the emperor to express his opinion!

"Let's all be free!" Yuan Bin waved his hand with a smile.

Only then did everyone salute and serve tea and snacks.

Everyone sat here chatting, it was rare for Jin Yiwei to have a free time.

In another courtyard of Jinyiwei, Bo Zhen heard that Yuan Bin had gone to Wantong's place, and they chatted happily, not only did her face turn gloomy: "He's really... stubborn!"

He didn't dare to scold Yuan Bin, because everyone in Jinyiwei respected Yuan Bin as a commander, and Yuan Bin was indeed a kind person.

Not only Jin Yiwei, but also the ministers respected him.

So he spent a lot of money to win over Yuan Bin, but Yuan Bin took everything away, man, no see!

It's like playing with Bo Zhen, Bo Zhen is so angry!

But he was not qualified to challenge Yuan Bin, so he could only swallow his anger.

This made Bai Zhen feel very uncomfortable, because now many people took the initiative to curry favor with him, but in the end Yuan Bin remained the same, which made Bai Zhen lose face.

This thorn in Bai Zhen's heart pierced deeper and deeper, and the deeper it got, the more painful it would be.

Bai Zhen walked around more diligently in private.

Sure enough, at the end of May, a censor official began to play, saying: "The crown prince is also the vice-lord."

Emperor Xianzong did not stay in China, nor did he express his position.

First the censor, then the foreign ministers, and by the beginning of June, even the ministers had expressed their opinions.

However, the elders and the chief officials of the six ministries did not express their views.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Zhen went to someone's house, which was also "Wanfu".

Bai Zhen is looking for Wan An.

Now Wan An is in the Ministry of Rites, he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although everyone says that the Ministry of Rites is the head of the six ministries, to be honest, the Ministry of Rites does not have much power, and the real authority is the Ministry of Officials.

But etiquette comes first, so the Ministry of Rites is the head of the six ministries, and the matters managed by the Ministry of Rites also include the matter of the crown prince.

Wan An was a person who had been in the business before, and wanted to join the Wan family, but the Wan family did not agree.

It turned out that Bai Zhen had already wooed him, and he was not optimistic about the Bai family, but the eldest son of the emperor.

As a result, the eldest son of the emperor was not born, but the fourth princess was born.

But the fourth princess died early, and the emperor actually allowed Concubine Bai to sequence the teeth of the fourth princess!

It is said in the palace that the concubine Wan is favored by the concubine, but the concubine Wan is forty, right? ?

No matter how long the emperor is in love, there are countless beautiful family members in the palace. How long can a 40-year-old mistress be infatuated with the emperor?

Sure enough, Concubine Bai became pregnant again not long after, and then gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor smoothly!

In Wan'an's mind, whoever's family has only had such a male for several years, even if the father doesn't like it, the grandmother will love him like a treasure.

So Wan An hit it off with Bai Zhen when he came to the door.

But what Wan An never expected was that the eldest son of the emperor did have a vision when he was born, but the second son of the emperor was not much better!

The empress dowager, the emperor and the empress, the three big figures standing at the top of the palace, none of them gave rewards!

But when the second son of the emperor was born, not to mention many rewards, the empress even went to Zhaode Palace to visit the concubine Wan and the little prince.

This raised Wan'an's vigilance. He regretted choosing to stand in line too early. If Bai Zhen failed, he would not be able to turn the tables.

So every time he gritted his teeth, he gave advice to Bo Zhen, and Bai Zhen became more and more dependent on him. At first, he was talking about fate, but now he started to encourage people and give memorials.

But when the memorial was delivered, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the waves were calm!

"Lord Wan, what should we do?" Bai Zhen walked back and forth anxiously in the room: "This man has been recruited, and the memorial has also been submitted, but the emperor will not release it, what does it mean?"

Wan An felt dizzy watching him walking up and down: "You stop first, sit down and drink some tea to moisten your throat, and take everything slowly."

"It can't be slow." Bai Zhen said anxiously with a pale face: "The eldest son of the emperor is almost one year old!"

"Isn't that good?" Wan An said, "When the eldest son of the emperor is one year old, the palace shouldn't ignore it, right? At that time, after the eldest son of the emperor is one year old, we will join hands with several adults in the court to play the palace performance together." !"

Straightforwardly, he said that the emperor wanted to pretend to be stupid, even if he didn't want to reply.

"Is it possible?" Bai Zhen was taken aback: "We...we are not very sure yet.

The main reason is that after such a long time, the emperor did not express his position, and the atmosphere became delicate. Many adults also had a memorial at the beginning, but after seeing the emperor's stay, they did not dare to continue.

After all, the next heir is a bit sensitive. When the emperor was in power, the willing ministers were always thinking about his heir?

"You can get it if you're not sure!" Wan An said, "Don't you want to wait until next year?"

Year after year, how many years

"But we still have the six ministers..." He hasn't been able to bribe him yet.

Adding 3 taels of silver, those dowry gifts seem to be a lot, but if they are divided evenly, there is not much left. The family has already bottomed out, and his wife does not allow him to continue sending out the gold and silver.

If it is sent down, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind.

"Six ministers and elders naturally have their own considerations. Besides, how can you buy elders like Shang Ren and Liu Dingzhi?" Wan An said with a little envy: "If you can't accommodate, you can only force them They made a statement together."

"Forcing them...to express their opinions together?" Bai Zhen muttered, "How...forcing them?"

"If ten courtiers stand up together to play this matter in the hall, they can't help but ignore it!" Wan An said boldly: "Go...

The two of them were discussing matters here, and Bai Zhen asked Jin Yiwei to guard the surroundings personally, thinking that nothing would go wrong.

But he forgot that after all, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army. They can hide the truth from their colleagues for Baizhen, but they dare not hide the truth from the emperor, the master.

And what about Wanan?

Because of her single-minded focus on drilling, and Bai Zhen's steadfast vows, she also forgot about this stubble.

As a result, Yuan Bin entered the palace the next day, and Emperor Xianzong knew about their plan, so he asked Wantong to talk about it: "You two, what do you think?"

After the two listened, Yuan Bin lowered his eyes and did not express his opinion. He was giving Wantong a chance.

Wantong thought about it: "Then let them play. As the censors said, a country cannot be without a king for a day, but the king must also have a prince.

A dynasty cannot be without an heir, and an emperor cannot be without an offspring.

Emperor Xianzong didn't expect Wantong to say that, and he was a little puzzled: "The one they want to establish is the son of Concubine Bai.

"That's also your eldest son." Wantong said with a smile: "My eldest son of Ming Dynasty passed it on to the family, and it's a group training."

What he said was very level, Chengzu was not the eldest son, but the fourth son; but Emperor Xianzong was able to ascend the throne because he was the eldest son.

His father is also the eldest son and grandson, especially his grandfather.

"But...you don't object?" Emperor Xianzong looked at Wantong without blinking.

"What am I against?" Wantong was taken aback, and then smiled happily: "What do you think? It's a blessing for the eldest sister to have three children by her side. My Wanjia can be the prince's and princess's niece. The family is already extremely honored, what else is there to do?" This was the voice of Wantong, he did not have such great ambitions as Bo Zhen, and Wan Jia did not have such great ambitions.

Besides, being an emperor is not a good thing in Wantong’s view. Look at the emperor, who works hard all day. There are many cows" Ah!

There are even certain rules about what to eat every day. The seasons are different in spring, summer, autumn and winter. How can ordinary people be at ease?I want to eat hot pot in summer, so I ate it!

No one is stopping you, as long as you are not too hot.

But the emperor can't!

"Aren't you at odds with the Bai family?" Emperor Xianzong wondered, "Bai Zhen gains power, but you are about to lose power.

"Your Majesty, I am a Ming Dynasty, and foreign relatives are not allowed to participate in politics." Wantong said with a serious face: "Look at the Zhou family, although it is the empress dowager's natal family, it doesn't even have real power. The Qian family even..."

What is the Qian family?If he doesn't say anything, he believes in the emperor, and the emperor understands it.

Even now, Queen Wang's natal family has been given a false position, and the whole family lives in a pampered way.

It is impossible to have real power, only dignity.

"You can see it openly." Emperor Xianzong felt that this was the loyalty of the Wan family. What they thought of was Daming, and it was for Jiangshan Sheji.

It is even more so that he, the emperor, has no heir.

The Wan family thought very well. If the new emperor came to the throne, naturally, Zhen'er would follow the little prince. It is estimated that she would move to the prince's place by then.

Regardless of the fierce competition for the throne of the Ming Dynasty, the princes of the Ming Dynasty all have the spirit of Xiaoqiang. The Zhu Dynasty did not kill their own people, even if it was a rebellion.end.....

This matter has been discussed in this way, but Emperor Xianzong still withheld the memorial, and the eunuch Bingbi did not dare to probe the emperor's mind easily.

Even Eunuch Wynn was forbidden to keep his mouth shut.

After hearing this, some people in the court also thought about it, whether to establish a crown prince or not?

But Bai Zhen couldn't wait, and finally on this day, not long after he came to court, someone stood up and said that it was a big deal for the "prince prince".

And Liu Ji, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, also talked about this matter.

If Wu Youwei were here, he would be able to meet the real "Liu Mianhua".

Impeachment was common in the Ming Dynasty, and officials like to meddle in other people's business. People like Liu Ji naturally became the main targets of attack by the officials. He nicknamed "Liu Mianhua" one by one.

what for?Those who are cotton are not afraid of playing!

This man from the official to the bachelor and the chief assistant (prime minister) of the cabinet has a vegetarian meal and is good at private affairs, so he has been repeatedly impeached by admonishing officials.But he was able to serve in the cabinet for 18 years by flattering the emperor, colluding with eunuchs, and crowding out those who impeached him.At that time, a group of people including Cao Yushi and Ouyang Dan kept impeaching him, but Liu Ji's official position became bigger and bigger, and people could do nothing to him. This shows that the Ming Dynasty's official administration was already terrible.At that time, because Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty often ignored government affairs, another man named Liu Yi in the cabinet was basically dawdling every day.

As for the following six ministers, they sat in the yamen every day, drinking tea and chatting, and did nothing, so at that time people said that the three members of the cabinet (Wan An, Liu Ji, and Liu Xu) were "old paper three cabinets", saying The six books are the "Six Books of Clay Sculpture".Today's Liu Ji is not that Liu Mianmian, but the left servant of the Ministry of Rites who wants to be opportunistic. He was the last one to stand up, holding the wat board and began to speak eloquently.Emperor Xianzong looked at the courtiers below, each one was impassioned, but he thought of Concubine Wan in the harem.

This morning, Zhen'er said that when he came back, he would make him his favorite refreshing cake. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's almost the "Tian Kuang Festival", so you can eat water noodles up.

Because the sixth month of the lunar calendar is in midsummer and the sun is scorching hot, the diet in the palace at this time is mainly to make new foods to relieve the heat and avoid the heat.

Emperor Xianzong thought of Zhen'er, and thought of the lovely little prince, and he had seen the eldest son several times, but found that the eldest son was weak, while the little prince was healthy.

Every time Concubine Bai saw him, she would mention how noble the eldest prince was, but he could tell that Concubine Bai's posture in holding the child was very stiff.

It can be seen that she doesn't hug the prince very much at ordinary times.

And Zhener... even changes the diapers by herself!

The grace of the Wan family and the aggressiveness of the Bai family made Emperor Xianzong very annoying, and the endless chatter of these people in front of him made him feel nauseous. When Liu Ji finished speaking, Emperor Xianzong was about to get angry with an ugly face. Suddenly, the light dimmed

But those people didn't pay attention. After Liu Ji finished speaking, all the people who stood up to express their support knelt down. This was to make the emperor express his opinion!

But the emperor's face was ashen, and the sound of "Kang Bang Bang" outside, standing in the hall, was so familiar to Wantong on duty!

Just because they were so familiar, Wantong's face became strange... The eldest son of the emperor and the solar eclipse are really destined...

.... "History of the Ming Dynasty" records: In the sixth year of Chenghua, there was an eclipse in Wushenshuo in June.
