Chapter 743: Entering the Palace

Hearing Wang Xijue's question, Zhen Zhenji's brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

Every sentence in this old man's words hints at his scientific qualifications, but he doesn't just want him to speak, but puts pressure on him intentionally or unintentionally.

The main job of the Kedao Yan official is to picket the hundred officials and purge the Qing Dynasty, so on this matter, Zhen Zhenji cannot have other views.

He must vigorously support Ye Xianggao's opinion and severely punish corrupt officials, otherwise he will be convicted of the crime of Fengxian Kedao's corpse vegetarian meal.

Of course, there is another choice for Zhen Cifu, that is, to speak with a clear conscience, as long as he says that now the Haiyan River is clear and the government is clear, then Kedao naturally does not have the suspicion of dereliction of duty.

But don't say this kind of thing, I can't say it, even if I really say it, no one will believe him, and when the time comes, I'm afraid his reputation as a Shilin will also decline a lot.

So in reality, there aren't many options......

"According to the old man's opinion, since it is difficult for us to vote for this, why don't we enter the palace together, how about the Holy Gift?"

In the end, Zhen Cifu still did not clearly express his attitude, but came to a Tai Chi pusher.

"The old man agrees, since we can't make a decision, it's better to let the holy judgment be!"

Li Tingji followed along, but agreed with Zhen Zhenji's suggestion.

In any case, this note was to be sent to the Son of Heaven, and the reason why he threw it out in the cabinet first was nothing more than to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and he wanted to take this opportunity to test the attitude of everyone in the cabinet first.

Now that his goal has been achieved, naturally he doesn't have to ask for a result, in case things mess up, it won't be beautiful.

"Do anyone else have an opinion?"

Wang Xijue frowned slightly, but asked Shen Zhu and the others.

In fact, for him, it is not impossible to see the Son of Heaven at this time, but this attitude of Zhen Zhenji makes him feel a little wrong.

Although Zhen Zhenji has always remained neutral in the cabinet, it is the first time that he has been so silent as today, not to mention that Zhen Zhenji has been straightforward in the appointment of the Imperial History of the Left Capital

Fortunately, even if Shin remains neutral, the current situation is in their favor......

Of course, some people are happy and some people are worried, and when Zhen Cifu spoke, Zhu Geng's face sank.

This recital is Ye Xianggao, and Ye Xianggao is a very low-key figure in the imperial party, he is neither as sharp as Li Tingji, nor as scheming and calculating as Fang Congzhe, calm and self-denying, his plain style is actually more like Wei Jinshi, he likes elegant banquets, and he doesn't care too much about the court.

But the more such people are, the more terrible they are when they move.

Because Ye Xianggao is not a person who is obsessed with power and art, so on the other hand, the reason why he can be on this book is very simple, that is the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

Only the Son of Heaven can let Ye Xianggao be this bird.

According to this inference, once this matter really comes to the Son of Heaven, then the attitude of the Son of Heaven will inevitably be inclined to agree, and this is by no means a happy news for Zhu Geng.

However, there are five members in the cabinet, three of whom have their own opinions, one of whom asks for a holy judgment, and one of whom has not made his attitude clear, and there is indeed no need to continue the debate.

It should be said that the method that Zhen Zhenji said is a more feasible one, at least for now, Zhu Geng can't come up with a reason not to see the Son of Heaven, so although his face is gloomy, Zhu Geng still has to arch his hand.

"In that case, the old man has no opinion, let's go into the palace together!"

Zhu Geng is the speaker of the Zhejiang Party, he opened his mouth, and Shen Li naturally had no other opinions.

So the cabinet and his party simply cleaned up and went to the Qianqing Palace.

The office of the cabinet is very close to the palace, and the reason for this setting is to facilitate the cabinet ministers to enter the palace at any time to discuss court affairs with the emperor, so in just a moment, the elders came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

Because before entering the palace, they had sent people from the Zhongshu House into the palace to pass the ceremony, so when they arrived, the chief administrator Wang An had already been waiting for His Majesty Dan, and when he saw everyone coming, he immediately greeted him and bowed slightly.

"I'm tired of a few gentlemen waiting in the side hall for a while, Your Majesty just went to greet the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, and was left for lunch by a few ladies and mothers, and our family has already sent someone to go, I'm afraid I'll come back after a while."

Everyone looked at each other, looked up at the big sun overhead, and it seemed that they had indeed come at the wrong time, so they had to honestly enter the side hall and wait.

The Son of Heaven did not come back, and naturally no one gave food to the elders, and there was only one cup of tea in the side hall, and a few plates of dim sum could make a few old men cushion their stomachs.

Now it's time for lunch, so a few old adults are not polite, and they sit down and pick up a few delicate snacks and eat them.

"Having said that, Your Majesty has been on the throne for several months, why is the harem still so chaotic, if the old man remembers correctly, to this day, His Majesty has only respected the Empress Dowager, the former Empress and His Majesty's biological mother Concubine Gong Niangniang has not yet been honored, even the Crown Princess Niangniang, although she entered Kunning Palace early, but she did not perform the canonization ceremony, so it is just a matter of time, it is not a way to go on for a long time!"

After swallowing half a plate of dim sum, everyone was a little idle, thinking of what Wang An said just now, Zhen Cifu couldn't help frowning.

The matter of the harem of the Son of Heaven is said to be a royal internal affair at a small level, but it is not a small matter at a large level.

Most of the struggles between the Ming courtiers and the Son of Heaven are related to the harem.

But fortunately, the current harem of the Son of Heaven is very peaceful, in addition to the fact that the name is not just right, most of the mothers in each palace have already set a place to live, and there is the queen mother to deter the harem, but there is no chaos at present.

"I think I forgot, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and he has been diligent in government affairs these days, and it is understandable to ignore the harem for a while!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Tingji said vaguely, but his tone was a little unnatural.

"This should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, right? How did Feng Qi do things, and why didn't he remind His Majesty when he was honored by the Empress Dowager? ”

Zhen Zhenji's brows furrowed, but it was the way.

"Lord Cifu doesn't know, but this matter is not to blame the Ministry of Rites, Feng Shangshu was when he drafted the honorific title, it is said that it happened to be in the palace, so it was directly performed without the cabinet, at that time, His Majesty only said that the status of the Empress Dowager should be the first respect, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress canonization ceremony were cumbersome, and it was temporarily postponed, so it was delayed to today......"

Li Tingji was reluctant to say that there were naturally people in the cabinet who knew the details, Zhu Geng shook his head slightly, but he said.

"So...... Isn't that right? ”

Zhen Zhenji was silent for a moment, turned to Wang Xijue with some hesitation, and asked.

"The harem is restless, the government is uncertain, and now the name of the harem is uncertain, it is not suitable after all......"

"It's not right!"

The old Shoufu pondered for a moment and spoke.

"The canonization of the posterior position really can't be delayed, the crown princess is pregnant now, and if it drags it on, I'm afraid it will affect the storage position!"
