Chapter 653: Neglect
If there was no such thing as going out of the grassland, Princess Ningyang and Zheng Yi would not have been so nervous, but now can they be recognized by the ministers?
Wang Quan said in a deep voice: "The Third Highness is the son of the first emperor, and he has the edict of the first emperor and the prince, so he should inherit the unification in accordance with the will of the people." ”
Princess Ningyang and Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and turned their gaze to the other two scholars, expecting their answers.
Elder Li Ge groaned: "What Elder Wang Ge said is that I also think that the Third Highness should inherit the unification. ”
Gu Ge Lao also muttered: "It should be inherited by the Third Highness!" ”
Several Shangshu also followed suit, Princess Ningyang and Wang Quan were overjoyed when they heard it, these important ministers had a very high prestige, and they nodded together in agreement, which was considered appropriate.
Princess Ningyang and Zheng Yi were completely relieved, although Tang Ning could be the emperor by relying on military power, but he did not win the unanimous approval of the courtiers to be more orthodox.
Princess Ningyang raised her voice and asked, "Do you have any objections?" ”
Most of the officials shook their heads, not to mention that now that the third prince has completely controlled the situation, he should indeed be regarded as the legitimate heir.
Princess Ningyang raised her voice and said, "That is ...... so"
"Slow ......"
Princess Ningyang's voice was interrupted by an abrupt voice.
Including Princess Ningyang, they all looked at the source of the voice, and the voice came from a middle-aged civil official wearing a three-grade official uniform.
He said in a deep voice: "The three princes can blow the horn of the golden family of the grassland, they are from the grassland, how can they inherit the unification?" ”
"The first emperor died suddenly in Fangshan Palace, how could he leave an edict? How did this edict come to Jizhou? The lower officials thought that this was the edict of the three princes! ”
"The lower officials think that the eldest prince is the eldest son of the first emperor, pure filial piety and virtuousness, proficient in Wentao and martial arts, and should inherit the unification."
As soon as the middle-aged civil official's voice fell, there was also a echoing voice: "Yes, the eldest prince should inherit the unification!" ”
There were really people who opposed the succession of the three princes, Lord Rong looked at them in some surprise, and then lowered his eyes.
After all, he is Tang Ning's father-in-law, but it is difficult to speak. However, if it really comes to a critical moment, he will not shy away from suspicion.
It's just that after he saw clearly who was speaking, he didn't take the other party's words to heart.
Princess Ningyang said in a deep voice: "You said that the third prince is overbearing? When the first emperor wrote this will, the palace was watching from his side, could it be that the palace was also overbearing? ”
Zheng Yi also noticed the people who spoke out, these people were the former die-hard supporters of the second prince, and they knew that there was no way to live, so they turned to support the eldest prince in order to have a way to live.
It's just a group of dying people, Zheng Yi directly ignored it: "Since you adults have no objections, then please welcome the three princes to inherit the unification!" ”
Zheng Yi directly ignored those who spoke out against him, completely when their opposition did not exist, Wu Cheng opened his mouth, and finally did not say anything, although he used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and was even promoted to the first assistant scholar of the cabinet by the second prince, but if he spoke, he would also be ignored.
The rest of the ministers also noticed that the people who spoke out were the people who had been proud of the spring breeze these days, so they didn't pay attention to them, and now they are clearly separated from each other.
Wang Ge Lao nodded and said: "Without further ado, let's go to welcome the third prince into the East Palace and choose an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony!" ”
The small doors of the big prince's mansion are all locked, and the house is quiet and terrible, even so, the eldest prince, the princess, and the lady concubine also slept unsteadily last night after returning to the house.
However, it is much better than being confined in a cold palace.
Concubine Shuniang whispered: "Today, the hundred officials should go to Fengtianmen to set up a new monarch, right?" ”
The eldest prince nodded lightly and said, "Yes! ”
Concubine Niangniang whispered: "Judging from this turmoil, there is no shortage of hard backbones in the court, will it be, will it be ......?"
The eldest prince shook his head and said, "No!" Pavilion elders and they will definitely choose Tang Ning, not to mention that now that Tang Ning has controlled the overall situation, Tang Ning should indeed be considered orthodox, but the things on the grassland make him a little passive, and the imperial court can no longer withstand the toss. ”
Concubine Shu said: "If Tang Ning is really so orthodox, wouldn't the emperor have already made him the prince?" Maybe ......"
The eldest prince said softly: "Mother, if there are really officials who support me, it will hurt me!" Now that the third child has the Nanshan camp and the Jizhou army, as well as the Beijing camp, will he give up the opportunity to ascend the throne? ”
"Even if he wants to give up, the generals who support him won't give up!"
Concubine Shu's face changed slightly, and the eldest prince said softly: "Don't even think about this kind of thought now, just hope to spend an eventful autumn peacefully, and from now on be an idle prince who is safe and stable!" ”
The three cabinet scholars came to the Tang Mansion with the six departments and nine qing, Tang Ning woke up early in the morning, he also knew that the hundred officials in the capital had gone to Fengtianmen, and he also knew that Princess Ningyang's carriage went down Fangshan early in the morning and went all the way to the palace.
So Tang Ning sat in the hall and waited quietly, waiting for the results in the palace, he also wanted to inherit the unification smoothly, if he couldn't, then he could only choose to force it.
"Your Highness, the three scholars and the six departments and Jiuqing have arrived at the corner of the street!"
It seems that the results are out, don't be embarrassed, Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "The middle door is wide open, welcome you to enter the mansion." ”
The three scholars came together with the six departments and Jiuqing, Zheng Yi entered the palace from the middle gate with the edict of the first emperor, and Tang Ning stood in front of the hall.
Zheng Yi unfolded his will, knelt on the ground around, only Tang Ning stood high-spirited, and Zheng Yi's voice sounded.
The will Tang Ning couldn't be more cooked, and listened quietly.
Then the three scholars knelt down with the six departments and Jiuqing and shouted in unison: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, please move His Highness to the East Palace." ”
This is the inheritance of the unification as a prince, and there is no need to go through the process of repeated persuasion. Tang Ning took the will with both hands and raised his voice: "Gentlemen, please get up." ”
Several scholars and the six departments and Jiuqing surrounded Tang Ning out of the middle gate and boarded the carriage in the palace, while his personal guards got on their horses and accompanied them, and the team headed to the palace.
Tang Ning left, but the Tang Mansion was lively, or rather, noisy. The people in the house were elated, and it was even more lively than the New Year.
Because they all understand what this means, welcoming His Highness into the East Palace at this time means that His Highness is about to ascend the throne as emperor.
Although they had long been looking forward to it, they were still excited about what was happening right now.
As the saying goes, if a person ascends to heaven and His Royal Highness ascends the throne as the emperor, these subordinates will naturally rise to the top.
