Chapter 90: Persuasion (2)
(The second watch is coming, brothers work a little harder, today's red ticket is very hopeful to break 12,000!) )
In the early morning of the sixth day of August, it rained in Jiangning, bringing a touch of coolness to the scorching summer weather in Jiangning.
Gu Wuchen got up quietly and went to the study to write a few big characters, but he still couldn't hold back the irritability in his heart, Qingzhou has been delayed for too long - Emperor Chongguan's life and death are unknown, and the filial piety period can only be delayed for forty-nine days at most, and when King Ning is officially established as the emperor to spread the word to the world, things will not be so simple.
The more irritable he was in his heart, the more Gu Wuchen had to calm down, he couldn't mess up before he planned a big thing, he thought that he still saw Lin Jian more thoroughly, he had ambition, means and determination, and he shouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Ma Chao walked in at this time and said, "Ning Wangfu sent someone over and asked the adults to go to Ning Wangfu to talk about it......."
"Oh!" Gu Wuchen was stunned for a moment, is he going to discuss the matter of supporting the establishment today? It was inevitable that he was anxious again, he calmed down and thought: There is no edict, and the system can only be persuaded by a prestigious minister, so that King Ning can succeed to the throne in Jiangning, according to the rules, King Ning will always have to resign three or five times, as long as Shandong blocks the news tightly, it will not be a problem to delay it for ten or eight days.
But if he really persuaded him, he shouldn't have no news from his side, maybe it's just an ordinary summons.
Thinking of this, Gu Wuchen's mind was a little more settled, and he instructed the maid to bring him a purple python robe to change into, and Ma Chao also prepared a carriage and a horse to send him to King Ning's mansion.
Before the car arrived at King Ning's Mansion, Gu Wuchen felt that the atmosphere was different, and the long stone pillars on both sides of the vermilion gate of King Ning's Mansion were all parked with cars and horses.
There are many cars and horses without signs, but the officials look at the officials, and the servants recognize the subordinates, and the horsemen and coachmen who drive the cars also have their own circles.
Gu Wuchen sat in the carriage, Ma Chao, who was riding with him, and Lao Zhang, who was sitting in front of the carriage, identified most of the carriages and horses parked outside King Ning's mansion in the blink of an eye and told them to Gu Wuchen.
Whether it is idle or legitimate, most of the officials above the fourth grade in Jiangning have gathered in Ning Wangfu.
Gu Wuchen was secretly frightened, frowning, this atmosphere was really uneasy, he called Ma Chao to the car window, suppressed his voice and commanded a few words, and asked Ma Chao to take two followers to drive away; Gu Wuchen got out of the car as usual, got down from the stepping horse stone, stood there and arranged the sleeves of his robe, and asked a servant to run over and hand over the prayer post.
Chen Xiyan was waiting for Gu Wuchen in the foyer, and when he saw Ma Chao and the others riding away, he sneered in his heart: Without the support of the Huaidong Army, the Qingzhou Army and the Liang family are far north of Huaisi.
"Master Gu!" Chen Xiyan walked down the steps with his robe and greeted him, his eyes narrowed slightly, squeezed out deep wrinkles, and said, "I look like Lord Gu's carriage from a distance, it turns out that Lord Gu has also summoned King Ning to discuss matters?" It seems that he bumped into it one step earlier than Gu Wuchen.
"Chen Gong!" Gu Wuchen also said politely, Chen Xiyan is a person of the same generation as Tang Haoxin, no matter how happy he is fighting with swords and swords behind his back, but when he meets him, he still has to perform the gift of late life, but he is surprised and suspicious of the new python robe that Chen Xiyan is wearing today......
Chen Xiyan has been a leader for nearly ten years, although he has always been unwilling to be lonely, but he has been hiding behind the scenes as a leader of Qingliu. Although Chen Xiyan is qualified to wear a python robe, who has seen Chen Xiyan wear a public uniform in public over the years?
At this moment, there were two more carriages for Hu Cong, and their status was not low, Chen Xiyan and Gu Wuchen were not busy walking inside, so they stood at the foot of the steps and waited, but it was Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin and Yongchang Hou Yuan who came before and after returning to power......
Yuan Guizheng was also shocked and suspicious in his eyes, seeing such a big scene, he was almost certain that he was going to abolish the establishment and persuade King Ning today, but looking at Gu Wuchen's expression, he was also caught off guard by this......
Although Yuan Guizheng's title is expensive, he has no real power, and it is normal to persuade him to hide this kind of thing, but Gu Wuchen, as the left servant of the military department, not to mention the impact on the three strong armies of Huaidong, Qingzhou, and Dongyang, he directly controls the Jiangning Water Camp, how can he not talk to Gu Wuchen in advance about persuasion? Unless Yue Lengqiu and the others are completely sure, they are not afraid of Gu Wuchen's variable! Or what rumors have Yue Lengqiu and the others heard to forcibly promote the establishment of the policy?
"King Ning even bothered that Old Duke Zeng came forward?" Chen Xiyan hugged Zeng Mingxin's arm before leaving, showing affection.
Zeng Mingxin looked at Chen Xiyan's new python robe suspiciously, and then looked at the surprise on the faces of Gu Wuchen and Yuan Guizheng, even if he didn't know about the Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu, but the matter of supporting the establishment had not been decided for so long, there were all rumors in Jiangning City, and he also keenly felt the abnormality of today's atmosphere, and said to Chen Xiyan in a suppressed voice: "The national disaster is at the head, Chen Ge Lao, you have to do this Dinghaishen Needle, you can't make any big trouble!" This situation can no longer withstand the toss! ”
"It's not messy, old man, you can relax," Chen Xiyan said lightly with a smile.
Zeng Mingxin believes that Chen Xiyan is an old scheming person, and he appeared in a python robe today, if there is any hook-up behind this, Chen Xiyan must be involved, compared to Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian, Zeng Mingxin is also more willing to believe Chen Xiyan at this time.
Hearing Chen Xiyan say this with confidence, Zeng Mingxin temporarily suppressed the doubt in his heart, didn't ask anything, and followed him to King Ning's mansion.
Gu Wuchen and Yuan Guizheng only had to go in together, through the hall and through the house, to the meeting hall, the meeting hall was crowded with people, Liu Zhi and the commander of the Ning Wangfu guard camp Xie Chaozhong were guarding the door of the front hall, Xie Chaozhong was wearing armor clothes, holding a short halberd, and behind the front hall, there were many armor guards, which was much stricter than before.
Liu Zhi saw Chen Xiyan, Gu Wuchen, Zeng Mingxin, and Yuan Guizheng coming in, and greeted him and said, "Lord Gu, Chen Ge Lao, Grandpa Guo, Master Hou, King Ning is waiting for you in the inner hall...... "Greet the four of them and walk towards the inner hall.
King Ning sat in the middle, Cheng Yuqian, Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Yan, Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, Yu Xinyuan and others sat in two rows at the bottom, and when they saw Chen Xiyan and others coming in, they sat up with King Ning to greet each other.
Gu Wuchen didn't say it, Chen Xiyan was the oldest in the officialdom, Zeng Mingxin and Yuan Guizheng were the highest seniors in Jiangning, and King Benning couldn't take a stand in front of the three of them before he ascended the throne.
After rearranging the seats and sitting down, King Ning no longer waited for others to come in, and coughed and said: "Please come over today, there are two things, one of which is that the news from Jinhai confirms that the saint died in the water when crossing the tide river, and mourns for the government and the opposition," Before everyone expressed their condolences in shock, King Ning couldn't wait to say, "Huaidong system made Lin Tie the book to say that the family cannot be without a master for a day, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. But what Lord Lin said is also true, so I invite you to come and set up another virtuous ......"
As soon as King Ning's words fell, Lin Xuwen cooperated and walked in from behind the screen, holding the persuasion table prepared by Lin Lian, walked to the front of the hall and knelt down on his knees, and said as if singing: "King Ning is virtuous and virtuous, and everyone expects to return, if it is not the Huaidong system, Lin Lian supports King Dai Ning, and the national disaster is at the head, and the minister Lin Xuwen also implores King Ning not to abandon the subjects of the world, and turn the tide in danger......"
Gu Wuchen and Yuan Guizheng were like thunderbolts at the moment, shocked on the spot, their eyes were black for a while, their ears were buzzing, and they couldn't hear what others were performing-
Chen Xiyan, Yue Lengqiu, Cheng Yuqian, and Zhang Yan then knelt down to persuade them - Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, Yu Xinyuan and others were shocked and suspicious, especially Gu Wuchen's reaction, which made them aware of a trace of unusual abnormality, but Lin Xuwen expressed his position on behalf of Lin Jian and Huaixian, and Yue Lengqiu, Cheng Yuqian, Zhang Yan, and Chen Xiyan also expressed their attitude, so they could not tolerate any further hesitation, and walked to the front of the hall one after another and knelt down, mourning and begging King Ning to succeed to the throne.
Zeng Mingxin didn't understand why Lin Jian fell out with Gu Wuchen, and he didn't know what disagreements Huaidong and Gu Wuchen had on the matter of supporting King Ning, so he asked Lin Xuwen to bypass Gu Wuchen to persuade him to advance - but no matter what, no matter what kind of secrets were hidden behind it, Huaidong simply stood up and supported King Ning, which was a good thing to maintain the stability of the overall situation.
It is no wonder that Chen Xiyan was so confident outside the gate just now, thinking that it was important to set the name of the monarch and minister as soon as possible, Zeng Mingxin also knelt down and begged King Ning to succeed him.
Everyone knelt down to persuade them to advance, and Gu Wuchen and Yuan Guizheng were still standing in the hall, and they suddenly became extremely abrupt.
Chen Xiyan, Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian and others knelt on the ground, and the corners of their eyes were still watching the reactions of Gu Wuchen and Yuan Guizheng. King Ning saw it in his eyes, and his heart was still resentful, if he knew that the Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu were still a little suspicious from Lin Xuwen's mouth, the reaction of Gu and Yuan was indeed unmodern, King Ning snorted lightly and coldly, and said: "This king is shallow and talented, and he is really unbearable for this heavy responsibility, Lord Gu and the Marquis of Yongchang know better than you, you should discuss meritocracy separately......"
Gu Wuchen and Yuan Guizheng woke up in shock, knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed and said: "Please King Ning don't abandon the subjects of the world......" said such things against his will, his heart was as bitter as breaking bitter gall, who would have thought that this fatal blow would be hit by Huaidong first......
The news soon spread outside, and the council hall was also black and pressed and knelt - King Ning insisted on refusing, persuaded and persuaded him, and when he was annoyed, he retreated to the inner house and willfully threw a cadre of people on the hall. Although King Ning hid in the back hall, the ministers persevered in persuading him and kowtowed as if he were knocking on a wooden fish.
Many people tried to show their sincerity, and their foreheads were bloody, and Wang Tian even knocked out in the court......
The matter of persuasion also spread all over Jiangning, and I don't know how much preparation Zhang Yan, Liu Zhi and others had made before this, and a handle of thousands of umbrellas flew into the mansion. At the corner of the day, Shizi Qingliu and the middle and lower-level officials in Jiangning City also gathered in Ningwang's Mansion to persuade him......
King Ning and others are also afraid of extraneous branches, building momentum to this point, almost eighty percent of the fire, in the afternoon King Ning can't wait to come out of the inner house, "reluctantly" to accept the persuasion.
Accepting persuasion is the first step, and then the ministers jointly promoted Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin, Yongchang Hou Yuan to return to the government, Chen Xiyan, Cheng Yuqian, Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Yan, Yu Xinyuan, Lin Xuwen, Gu Wuchen, Wang Tian, Wang Xueshan, Liu Zhi, Xie Chaozhong and others as temporary auxiliary ministers, to discuss the funeral and the establishment of the capital and the succession of the new emperor.
The others knelt on their knees painfully, and their foreheads were broken a lot, and now that the general situation has settled, it is not a big deal to stand up with their knees propped up. The brick floor where Gu Wuchen was kneeling was as wet as if it had been rained, and when he stood up in the afternoon, his body shook twice, and then he fell to the ground and fainted.
The so-called edicts are all secrets that cannot be announced, King Ning hates Gu Wuchen to death in his heart, but now he can't openly ask Gu Wuchen about the crime, and even added Gu Wuchen to it when he was drawing up the list of temporary auxiliary ministers. This is to block the mouth of the world and prevent anyone from questioning his improper position.
Gu Wuchen fainted in the hall, but let King Ning solve a troublesome matter, so he ordered Gu Wuchen to be sent back to the house to rest, and immediately crossed out Gu Wuchen's name from the list of temporary auxiliary ministers.
Yuan Guizheng was also discouraged, and because he was unwell, he resigned from the appointment of the provisional auxiliary minister.
