Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

"Why did His Majesty do this?"

Wen Tiren, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, also talked with Luo Congyu, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, He Ruchong, a civil servant of the Imperial College, about the apocalypse's request for a Zen seat after the dispersal of the dynasty.

Luo Congyu said first: "No matter what the reason is, His Majesty's move is so absurd that even Chen Nanhai, who has always been close to Uncle Guo, had to refute it."

He Ruchong also echoed and said: "Your Majesty must take back this intention! Even if you want to ransack your home and behead your head because of this, you must dissuade!"

"That's right, it should be dissuaded! At the court meeting, His Majesty suddenly issued an order, and we didn't realize it. Now that I think about it carefully, this is an act of ruining the country! You should go directly to Fuque and dissuade the emperor Xingchan from his surname." Things!"

Wen Tiren suddenly followed suit.

Luo Congyu nodded: "Be Fu Que!"

He Ruchong also echoed and said: "Then go to Fu Que! Let Your Majesty see how unpopular he is doing this!"

Although the three of them threatened to ask Fu Que to remonstrate with Tianqi from the Zen throne, Luo Congyu and He Ruchong came to Sui Kingdom's mansion in the early morning of the next day.

Sui Guogong Mansion, that is, Zhang Gui's mansion, is already full of people.

Although the courtiers didn't understand why Tianqi suddenly wanted to abdicate the throne to Zhang Gui in such a grotesque way, but they didn't understand it. In order to consolidate their power, many speculative courtiers came to Zhang Gui's place to flatter Zhang Gui. Zhang Guitao is close.

"Uncle Guo is highly respected, and his contribution to the country is comparable to Dayu's water control. Now he can win the throne and become the master of the world. It is really a blessing for the world."

"Yes, the Son of Heaven, Shengming, knows that the one who can protect the common people in the world is none other than the uncle of the country, so he took the initiative to abdicate and avoid internal wars, which is a good story!"

"Uncle Guo's heroic military strategy, he already has the attitude of a master, and if he does this today, he can be regarded as winning the hearts of the world."

Therefore, these courtiers kept saying nice things in front of Zhang Gui.

Only Zhang Gui himself didn't speak or smile, and he didn't expect Tianqi to do this.

This made him feel at a loss for a moment.

Because of this, Zhang Gui was going to the palace to meet Tian Qi, and asked Tian Qi carefully why he did this, and was he joking?

Therefore, Zhang Gui got up and walked outside.

Liu Zongmin hurriedly followed: "Where are you going?"

"Enter the palace!"

At this time, outside the Xiyuan, Wen Tiren was kneeling here holding his book, and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice! Don't ask for a Zen seat! Otherwise, the public opinion will boil and the world will be chaotic!"

"Your Majesty! My ancestral temple of the Ming Dynasty cannot be chaotic, nor can the world be chaotic. Even if you want the uncle of the country to inherit the great rule, you can't risk the disobedience of the world like this. You are not only harming the uncle of the country, but also harming yourself. Ah! Your Majesty!"

As Wen Tiren spoke, he shouted again.

But after Wen Tiren yelled, he found that Luo Congyu and He Ruchong didn't come to Fuque with him in the end, so he couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

And because of this, after Zhang Gui appeared in Xiyuan, he only saw Wen Tiren, and then he asked with a surprised smile, "I didn't expect that you, Wen Tiren, are the only one here to protest this matter."

Seeing Zhang Gui appearing here, Wen Tiren said: "Because the official knows that Uncle Guo would rather risk his death here! Instead of going to Uncle Guo's mansion, I wish Uncle Guo will soon be crowned Uncle Guo must also find those civil servants who come to curry favor with Uncle Guo very disgusting."

"That's right! It's disgusting. You can't drive him away, even if you don't have tea. This is the first time that the Duke of the country has been welcomed by so many civil servants."

Zhang Gui replied with a smile.

Wen Tiren then asked: "Uncle Guo is also here to persuade His Majesty?"

Zhang Gui nodded: "Exactly."

Wen Tiren then persuaded: "Your Majesty, I'd better advise Uncle Guo to go back. Your Majesty will definitely not see you."

Sure enough, at this time, Wei Zhongxian came over and said to Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, the Emperor is not seeing anyone right now."

"Did you say I wanted to see him?"

Zhang Gui asked.

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Tell me, the emperor still refuses to see him, and said to let Uncle Guo, you can rest at home and prepare for the future. The crown prince, he has already asked the empress to appease him."

"Comfort me! Why are you doing this, Your Majesty! Isn't this putting the Grand Master on the fire?! He really thinks that he is now Yao and Shun, but he still deliberately wants to test the Duke of his country. There is no reason for doing this!"

Zhang Gui suddenly feigned anger and cursed.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Uncle Guo, calm down!"

"Forget it!"

Zhang Gui turned around and took a look at Wen Tiren while speaking.

But after Zhang Gui returned to the mansion, he found that more ministers came to his mansion than before, even Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, He Kegang and others came to his mansion.

Therefore, Zhang Gui invited Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, He Kegang, who had good personal relationships, into the study room, and said: "I think you are also here to ask for a Zen throne for Your Majesty, right?"

"Exactly! I don't want to mention whether your majesty's move is absurd, but I just want to know, will uncle Guo really accept your majesty's Zen seat?"

Yuan Keli asked straight to the point at this time.

Zhang Guidao: "Of course not! The balance cannot be broken!"

"Uncle Guo really understands!"

"The word 'balance' is also very appropriate to describe the current situation! Now the Industrial Division, the Maoshan Iron Mine, and the large coal mine outside the customs that are about to be mined, the royal family has a large share! Once His Majesty gives the throne to the uncle Lord, how to divide such a huge profit? Will the royal relatives be willing to share? It's all a question."

Lu Xiangsheng then started talking.

Sun Chuanting also said: "People in the world think that Uncle Guo and I are private parties, but in fact, I have never admitted that I am a party member of Uncle Guo, and I also feel that Uncle Guo recommended me not because of selfishness. , but out of a public heart, I have been following Uncle Guo all these years, and it is entirely because I believe that Uncle Guo supports Uncle Guo’s philosophy of governing the country, but in fact, I am really loyal to His Majesty, and I have always regarded myself as a courtier of Ming Dynasty !"

"But Your Majesty wants to do this all of a sudden, which makes me, who only wants to be a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, at a loss. Now that I come to see Uncle Guo, I just want Uncle Guo to give me directions and tell me what to do. I I believe Uncle Guo is also a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, His Majesty is not allowed to do this."

"That's right! I'm at a loss for what to do with my lowly position. If I just sit back and watch this matter develop, even though I'm following the emperor's will, wouldn't I just sit back and watch the rumors outside, saying that I, Zhou Yuji, only have uncle Guo in my heart but not His Majesty, and I have already forgotten that I am Daming A courtier instead of Uncle Guo's running dog?"

Zhou Yuji followed suit.

He Kegang also said: "I betrayed Zu Dashou because I didn't want to betray Daming, but now His Majesty wants the Zen throne, which makes me, who wants to be a loyal minister of Daming, feel embarrassed. Should I follow the emperor's will or protect the Daming Sheji?" , I can only listen to Uncle Guo’s opinion first.”

Zhang Gui was silent for a long while, then sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this really created a big problem for us! Is it based on the emperor's will or the public's will?"

Yuan Keli and the others looked at each other.

"Do you need to ask? Naturally, it is from the will of the Han people in the world! Don't say that I have never thought about that seat, even if I did, I know whether you people are willing to let Daming change his surname in the bottom of his heart! After all, from a In the beginning, we were all friends of gentlemen, and we only got together for righteousness, not selfish desires, and if I enforce the emperor's will now, it would be considered as a breach of the foundation of our friendship! This reform will be in vain."

As Zhang Gui said, he slapped the table: "Admonition!"

Immediately, Zhang Gui looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you dare to do this together?!"
