Chapter 642: In one fell swoop
Chapter 642
After Ming Yushi proposed the Lingshan ancestor worship, he went straight to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to urge the Ministry of Rites to prepare for ancestor worship.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette just listened, didn't respond immediately, didn't say anything to refuse, smiled and played Tai Chi with the other party-Ming Yushi became famous in the cabinet before, he is not the kind of person who asks for trouble.
After the other party left, he found out about the first assistant and asked for his opinion.
Xie Shoufu had already heard some wind noises, and at this moment, he frowned and said: "How can the emperor go to Lingshan before leaving the palace at such a juncture? This is too risky, and the official disagrees."
The "adventure" here has more than one meaning.
Tai Fu Jiang's view is different from him.
"The ancestor worship is an ancestral system...If the precedent is broken, even the ancestral tomb will not be sacrificed. Wouldn't it make the people in the ruling and opposition parties uneasy? The situation is improving a little, and we must know that it is the time to calm people's hearts."
Even if Ming Yushi didn't mention it, he has been thinking about ancestor worship in secret recently.
The general trend is still there, how can the ancestors’ ritual laws be broken first?
"But the emperor looks like now--" Jie Shoufu's tone was relatively calm towards the prestigious Jiang Taifu, but his eyebrows kept frowning: "It is inevitable to worship the ancestor, but the emperor does not necessarily have to personally. Go ahead."
"If the emperor does not go, who will go?" Jiang Taifu asked, "His Royal Highness will take the place? Your Highness will go to Lingshan alone, so don't you worry?"
This is very worth thinking about.
Jie Shoufu's answer is yes-he certainly is not at ease.
Don’t worry about your majesty or your emperor.
These are two completely different types of worry.
Under the dual torment of body and mind, the emperor often speaks of madness nowadays...
As for your Highness to worship the ancestors, they must accompany as officials of Grade 3 or above. By then, everything in the palace in Beijing will inevitably return to the hands of the emperor. There is also Ji Xiu who holds the military power in his hand.
Although Ji Xiu has never put too much pressure on them, he also easily refuses to listen to them.
In case when Jixiu meets Mingxiao inside and outside, take advantage of their departure from Beijing, and then remove all their painstaking planning and deployment, then the previous painstaking efforts will be wasted!
Even worse, to put it harder, it is possible to ask your Highness and them to return to Beijing again!
Lingshan is still three hundred miles away from the capital, in case they encounter the "Purple Star Sect" again...heh, it's an old routine!
Although it is a bit ridiculous, but always prepare for the worst. After all, the emperor looks crazy now.
Once a person goes mad, all weird moths can cause trouble.
Who knows if he proposed to sacrifice to the ancestors, was it to support them?
Therefore, it is absolutely undesirable to let His Royal Highness go to Lingshan alone!
The first assistant is very vigilant.
Tai Fu Jiang saw through his thoughts, and then said: "Your Majesty wants to go, so why not fulfill him... With you and me by the side of the holy driver, what can you worry about?"
The implication is that even if the emperor wants to be a demon, he can still be crushed to death.
Explanation Shoufu heard the words and thought.
This is also true.
After a while, he said again: "But everywhere outside...maybe something will happen."
Cabinet Academician Yu Guangsi said: "The current situation is still stable. I say that the Yan army has retreated to the north of Cangzhou. No matter how long it takes for a year or two, it will not be enough for the capital to come... As for the Wu family, It has not always been an aggressive temper, let alone attacked at this time, not to mention that Ningyang is two thousand miles away from the capital. If Linyuan Xu Jiajun is still eight hundred miles away, it is separated from three cities and two southwest. There is a big camp, even if there are any real changes, I can always deal with it in time."
Another official said: "It takes only ten days to go to Lingshan."
These words are not just whitewashing peace, deliberately ignoring dangers, and preserving luck, but the facts shining brightly before us.
Jie Shoufu also knows all this.
It’s just a sacrifice to an ancestor. Anyway, it’s not like the previous ones, but you still have to rush to the old capital. It takes more than half a year to go back and forth. If you say something is wrong, you really have to be careful—
Ordinarily, he really shouldn't be so veteran, fearful of his head and tail, but he lost the imposing imposing manner that the court should have.
But he always feels a little uneasy...
Although it has been several months since he heard of King Yan’s accident, he still felt that this turn of events had come too abruptly and suddenly made people feel unreal. It's as if a person is floating in the air, and his feet never touch the ground.
Next, the audience talked more about the possible changes in this trip. In the end, they were indeed within the scope to deal with.
Fu Jiang said one last sentence--
"The rules of the ancestral system are unbreakable, otherwise the ruin will still be the prestige of the court..."
This is not the so-called strict observance of the rules. When the rules are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the biggest beneficiary will always be the court. There is no rule without rules, which is the foundation of eternal governance.
In the final analysis, this is still maintaining the prestige and interests of the court.
The more it is at this juncture, the more we can't underestimate the ancestor worship in this area.
The first supplementary explanation was silent for a while.
How could he not know these truths?
"Let me think about this for a few more days..."
If you just say these changes, you are not afraid of it, I am afraid that there are still possibilities that they have not thought of.
In the end, the death of the emperor is still next month, and he is not eager to make a decision at this time. During this period, he can pay more attention to the movements of various places.
And even with what we will observe and hear, everything is developing in a good direction.
He also envisioned many possibilities--
But just as the officials said, these can be dealt with, and absolutely unconditional can lead to major events that can overturn the situation.
At the time when the first assistant was thinking about it, an inmate came to report that it was Ming Yushi who had come.
here we go again?
Cabinet officials heard the words and felt like they were facing enemies.
Then subconsciously looked at Jie Shoufu who was sitting there——
Needless to think about it, it is also known that this clear effect is for worshipping the ancestors, and it is clear that it is for Lord Shoufu.
Jie Shoufu sat there still, his face calmly and calmly picked up the tea cup.
However, under this group's calmness, the action of swallowing tea was slightly anxious.
Hurry up if you need to prepare, and you can’t find water to drink halfway through the noise, and then make people look down on it.
Master Shoufu is ready to have to fight, but Ming Yushi came here, but he didn’t ask him to scold him—
Although also came with disagreements, there was no straightforward sharpness and accusation in the words.
The eyes are flushed, and the tone is distressing.
"...Today, Your Majesty was in a coma for half a day, fainted, still thinking of going to the first emperor’s tomb to offer a stick of incense, saying a few words, and finally doing all the filial piety of the Son of Man! As the king of a country, how can Yulian This trivial wish will not be fulfilled! No one is willing to give the last dignity! Even if he is only the Son of Man, doesn't he even have the qualifications to go to his father's grave to worship?!"
"Will you have peace of mind if you act like this!"
His voice was grieved and hoarse, which made the Yiying officials feel confused.
It is said that before realizing that they are about to leave, people always chant the same thought frequently...
The emperor, this is...is it really bad?
Although Ming Yushi's words have wronged them a bit, there is one sentence that is correct-after all, he is the king of a country, and he should be treated decently before he goes to the fore.
The decency of the emperor is also the decency of the court.
Ming Yushi almost has tears in his eyes, and his tone is firm and powerful: "Even if you are determined to oppose to the end, but you still have your own official, the official is the back, and you will carry your majesty to the ancestral mausoleum!"
This made everyone's heart tremble.
Why is it still on my back!
I really believe that the other party can do such things!
Isn’t this just slapped them in the face?
really asked him to carry His Majesty to the ancestral mausoleum, then who did they become? How should the supervisor retain their rebellious behavior in the history books? ——Oh, what’s more, the supervisor is the one who carries the emperor!
This road...isn’t it going too narrow?
"Ming Yushi is really serious, and the solution of the Shoufu is also for your majesty's dragon body considerations. If you have something to discuss, you should focus on solving the problem..."
Taifu Jiang was the first to speak, picking himself up in a few words-he didn't want to be infamy at his age, thinking that he had gone through two dynasties and three emperors, and now he still has a fourth one. Don't leave a good impression on the next owner?
The sky has collapsed, and the human design can't collapse—this is the first secret of the establishment of the world he taught Ji Fu Yin!
The remaining few people followed in the footsteps of the old lady.
Following the footsteps of the older generations, there is nothing wrong with it.
"I am also discussing this matter with Elder Jie Ge..."
"The sacrifice to the ancestors is reasonable and ethical, and it has been justified since ancient times."
"……"
While everyone was talking, Yu Guang quietly fell on the body who knew Shoufu.
Wait for this big Buddha to speak!
The big Buddha's face was tense.
He wants to nod!
But is the timing right?
He has his own pros and cons. He already thinks it is feasible in his own heart, but he hasn't had time to say it. If he let go at this time, doesn't it seem that he is a curse? Is the surname Ming utterly cursed?
His face doesn’t matter. In the Hall of Cultivation of Hearts, his official robes are taken off, what face does he need?
But if the other party thinks that he is really being scolded, he won’t have to run around to scold him three days later, the roof of this cabinet is probably going to be lifted by the other party’s scolding.
Solving Shoufu, when he was in a dilemma, an internal supervisor came in to give a word.
"My lords, your Royal Highness is here."
While speaking, the boy wrapped in a heavy cloak had already walked in.
Everyone saluted.
"His Royal Highness, please sit down and talk." Xie Shoufu raised his hand to signal, and whenever he saw the boy's frail appearance, he always felt tight in his chest. Is it broken?
The prince seated in the chair, glanced at Ming Yushi, and then at Jie Shoufu, and directly explained his intention: "This year, I will go with my father to worship the ancestors at Lingshan Mountain."
The first assistant was somewhat surprised: "His Royal Highness..."
"I know that the adults are thinking about my father and my body, but my illness was brought out in the womb. It was not a two-day event. The ancestor worshipping trip did not hinder me," the prince said. Here, the voice paused slightly: "As for the emperor, I have just been to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, the emperor...there is only one wish at the moment, as a son of man, I should do my best to do it."
said, looking at the ministers, with a sincere expression: "I would like to ask your sirs to agree to this matter."
"Your Royal Highness's remarks have really broken down the evil officials." Xie Shoufu sighed slightly and said: "The ancestor worship is originally the ancestral system, and to be smaller, it is just the family affair of your majesty and your majesty. The ministers have no rights. To block, there is no reason to block. Since your majesty and your highness have already made a decision, the minister should obey it."
The voice fell, and he turned to look at the Book of Rites.
"For ancestor worship matters, please ask Fang Shangshu to make arrangements."
The place that needs to be arranged is far more than the travel and process of ancestor worship, but also the deployment of Beijing and various places.
The current situation is special, and everything becomes special and cumbersome.
Just as the officials coordinated with the battalions to arrange everything, Qin Tianjian had already revealed the day.
The day of departure is set on the third day of the next month.
Soon after ten days.
Xu Mingyi and several servants of the Ming family rode in the same carriage and accompanied them out of the capital.
On the way, she lifted the carriage curtain slightly and looked out.
In early March, the willow tree beside the official road has given out new branches, and a layer of tender green and yellow short grass has also faintly emerged under the tree.
In the spring when the meeting always arrives as scheduled, even the air is full of vitality.
In such a good day, it’s too suitable to do something.
Xu Mingyi lowered the curtain.
The success or failure of the plan is only here.
And if something happens in the middle, or if the result is not as expected——
She felt the icy sensation of the dagger in her sleeve against her skin, and she had decided in her heart.
In short, she didn't want to, nor would she let the emperor have another chance to leave Lingshan imperial mausoleum alive.
It took nearly four days to stop and go on the road.
Xu Mingyi carefully observed that whether it was on the way or staying at the post, the emperor was protected by heavy soldiers, and the guard followed closely, and she did not even have a chance to see him in a corner of his clothes.
It is true that the more dying people, the more afraid of death.
When we arrived at Lingshan, a soft sedan carried the emperor who got off the carriage into the palace. There were five or six imperial physicians alone, and the palace clerk who followed the sedan pushed a finely crafted four-wheeled chair. .
Xu Mingyi followed Ming Yushi and settled down in the palace.
Ming Yushi found an excuse for her to take care of her pen and ink, and arranged her alone in a warm pavilion next to the study, saving her and her servants from squeezing to rest.
The night is dark, as stained with ink, not even a single star is seen.
Everyone fell asleep with heaven and earth.
Xu Mingyi changed into black clothes, body as light as the wind, and quickly left the courtyard.
She needs to fetch something.
The ancestor worship ceremony will be set for the day after tomorrow. To prevent accidents, she must prepare early.
This Lingshan Palace, she only came to Jiaojiao once last year, and she was not familiar with all four. But the location of the place she was going to was very conspicuous, and the tall towers could be seen from a distance.
She deliberately chose a small road far away from the place where the emperor was staying, and tried to avoid the frequent patrols of the imperial army and the guards. For this, she still made the Tianmu to explore the way.
Be cautious all the way, walking around for nearly an hour, and finally came to the place the eldest princess said.
But--
She turned to look at the dark night behind her, her eyes were on guard.
She somehow feels like someone is following her...
