Chapter 56 Queen Youxi and the Cabinet Dispute

Looking at his father, Li Xi didn't know what his father meant, but after so many years, his father has always been a very powerful person in his eyes and has never made a mistake.

"Then father, there will be no problem with Xu Wenchang, right?" Li Xi looked at his father and said hesitantly.

After glanced at his son, Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "This matter has never been on Xu Wenchang. We just need him to hand over the words to the emperor. The first person to look for for his father was Zhang Jing, but Zhang Jing left the capital."

"Now Xu Wenchang is just a replacement for Zhang Jing. In fact, as long as we hand over the words to the emperor, the rest of the matter will not be something we can decide."

Li Xi nodded. Although he was very worried, he still didn't choose to say it. He had always believed in his father's words. Although he was taking risks this time, he was still willing to believe his father.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Shen, the Minister of the Honglu Temple in front of him and asked, "Do you think the two Oirats want to see me?"

"Back to the emperor, yes!" Wang Shen agreed.

Since the Oirats arrived in the capital, they have been thinking about seeing Zhu Yijun, but Zhu Yijun is not in the mood to pay attention to them. Some time ago, I figured out my attitude towards Oirat, but I wanted to see him, but there were too many things to do later and it was delayed.

"Who is more anxious on both sides?" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked Zhao Shen.

"Back to the emperor, it is Huang Taiji's son Salike. He has asked the ministers to meet the emperor three times." Wang Shen was also helpless when he said this. He also said to the court several times, but the emperor has never replied.

If the Emperor hadn't called him today, Wang Shen even began to doubt whether the Emperor had no idea about his report.

Zhu Yijun nodded, is Huang Taiji's son Trek? This is consistent with the guesswork. After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun asked, "How big is this Trek?"

"Back to the emperor, Sharlik is 32 years old this year!" Wang Shen said.

Zhu Yijun was slightly stunned. Isn’t this saying that this Slik is as old as the third lady? How old is Huang Taiji who is going to marry? After a look at Wang Shen, Zhu Yijun asked, “Do you know how old Huang Taiji is?”

"I know, Huang Taiji is fifty-three." Wang Shen said without even thinking about it.

Huang Taiji is fifty-three?

On the one hand, Zhu Yijun was shocked by Wang Shen, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, to do his duty. On the other hand, Zhu Yijun did not expect that Huang Taiji was so big. Xu Wenchang said before that Huang Taiji was ugly. Is this just a problem of ugly?

However, Zhu Yijun also knew that this era did not consider the age gap much.

It seems normal to marry a person about twenty years old at the age of 40 or 50 in this era, but Huang Taiji is old and ugly. It is said that the third lady is unwilling to marry, and no one wants to marry!

As if he felt that Zhu Yijun was interested in this, Wang Shen said again: "Altan Khan is already seventy-five this year."

"When the third lady married Altan Khan, the third lady was nineteen years old, and Altan Khan was already fifty-six years old. The third lady was Altan Khan's niece, and his niece was known as the flower of the grassland because of her beauty."

"It is precisely because of this that Altan Khan valued her and married her."

Zhu Yijun was helpless. No matter how you look at the third lady, it was a complete tragedy!

She finally survived until Altan died of sweat, and she had the strength to resist, so she was ready to resist. Of course, Huang Taiji was not going to let the third lady resist. She married the third lady and successfully ascended the throne of the Khan, and also got her beautiful cousin and beautiful stepmother.

This is really messy!

"Since that's the case, then see me!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "But I will meet Morigen of the Olachilagut tribe first. You go back and arrange it. It will be decided in three days. I will meet Morigen in three days."

"It's the emperor, I will make arrangements when I go back!" Wang Shen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who the emperor met, it would be fine.

He has been upset these days, and now he is finally going to get through.

Wang Shen left, and Zhu Yijun smiled on his face. It was better for the Oirat to get messed up, so he could not make trouble for himself. He stretched his waist and was about to continue reading the memorial, a eunuch suddenly ran in.

The eunuch suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Old Master, great joy, great joy!"

Zhu Yijun was stunned. There was no war. Why are you overjoyed? Looking at the little eunuch, Zhu Yijun was stunned. Isn’t this guy a eunuch from Kunning Palace? The eunuch from Kunning Palace was overjoyed. When these two things were linked together, there was only one possibility.

Zhu Yijun suddenly stood up from the dragon chaise, looked at the eunuch and asked, "But the queen?"

"Go back to the emperor, the empress is happy. The imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital diagnosed the empress's happiness meridian. The empress asked me to come and report the emperor's good luck." The eunuch said, and cried excitedly.

Zhu Yijun is too lazy to take care of eunuchs now, and he suddenly feels unreal.

Some were surprised and some were worried, but they rushed out of Wenhua Palace and headed directly towards Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace was really lively at this time. Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace and Empress Dowager Chen of Cining Palace all came. The two of them were holding Queen Wang's hand and smiling, while Queen Wang had a shy and happy smile on her face.

Zhu Yijun's concubines also came, looking at Queen Wang with envious smiles.

Seeing Zhu Yijun coming in, Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "It's all about being the father, why are you still impatient?"

Although that's the case, the smile on Empress Dowager Li's face was very bright. After waiting for so many years, he finally could hold his grandson. This was a big deal for her, and the queen was happy. If she gave birth to a son, she would be the prince.

The queen is happy.

The news soon spread throughout the capital, making the capital in the early winter look much warmer.

In the cabinet, several cabinet masters were sitting together to rest, and a charcoal basin was placed in the center. For some reason, this winter seemed to be very cold, and it was just winter and I needed to grow charcoal basin.

The atmosphere in the cabinet has been a bit weird recently. Although everyone sat together to rest, the atmosphere was not very warm.

Of course, the cause was because of Yangshi Yin, the chief minister of the cabinet supported him, and the second minister of the cabinet opposed him, which was a contradiction. The emperor issued an order to promote Zhang Siwei's student Li Zhi, which is an obvious signal.

There were many people from the imperial court following Zhang Siwei's advocacy, and there was a tendency to overwhelm Shen Shixing.

However, the four cabinet masters in the cabinet, Yu Youding and Pan Sheng, both supported Shen Shixing, while Zhang Siwei felt a little lonely fighter.

"Everyone, the emperor asked us to agree on the candidate for the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet a few days ago. Should we report it to the emperor?" Zhang Siwei glanced at the four people and said slowly.

Shen Shixing was naturally impressed by Hai Rui's entry into the cabinet.

However, Hai Rui's entry into the cabinet was blocked by him and others, and the matter of the fifth Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was delayed. The emperor did not ask, and the cabinet did not do it. Everyone thought that this matter had passed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Siwei actually got this matter out at this time. No one is a fool. Of course, he knows what Zhang Siwei means.

Zhang Siwei was single and powerless in the cabinet, so he wanted to find a helper, and it was at this critical moment. Shen Shixing knew very well that if the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was elected at this time, the emperor would very likely agree, and he was the candidate who agreed to Zhang Siwei's recommendation.

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Shixing suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly.

Although he had noticed Zhang Siwei's movements, Shen Shixing had a lucky chance before, but now he has nothing left. Zhang Siwei is going to take over the power completely and is going to install people into the cabinet.

When Zhang Siwei's manpower is inserted, the next step will inevitably be to promote the Yangshiyin.

If I continue to object, I will probably be dismissed from office and go home.

After thinking for a while, Shen Shixing figured out the whole story of this matter and guessed Zhang Siwei's idea. But this was an open conspiracy. After all, the emperor ordered the cabinet to draft a candidate. This was the emperor's destiny!

Although the emperor didn't say it, it was very likely that he had forgotten it. If everyone didn't mention it, it would be over.

But now that Zhang Siwei has mentioned it, you can't forget it!

"Yes!" Shen Shixing nodded and said, "I've been busy these days. Fortunately, the emperor hasn't asked, otherwise it was our cabinet's negligence. But since Master Zhang has mentioned it, everyone should think about what suitable candidates are there!"

Zhang Siwei glanced at Shen Shixing and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone think about it."

After working with Shen Shixing for so many years, Zhang Siwei naturally knew what tricks Shen Shixing played, it was just dragging him. But how could he give him this opportunity? Now he drags him, he will be in trouble later.

After thinking about it, Zhang Siwei stood up and said, "Okay, everyone should go back and do things! The queen is pregnant with a dragon seed. This is a major event for the court. We should also submit a congratulatory form. Everyone thinks about how to write well."

Zhu Yijun has been staying in Kunning Palace these days, accompanying Queen Wang all day long, and finally becoming a father.

However, Zhu Yijun was also worried. You should know that in history, this Queen Wang often had a baby, and it was basically the first baby. Zhu Yijun was very careful and even sent Chen Ju to serve him, for fear that something would go wrong.

However, Queen Wang couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Although she was pregnant, the emperor was very happy to be by her side all day, but she couldn't do this all day!

It is estimated that the emperor will not go back, and the ministers' memorials will come, and Zhu Yijun was driven out of Kunning Palace.

"Emperor, this is a congratulatory statement from the ministers." Chen Ju held a stack of memorials and placed them in front of Zhu Yijun: "It's all congratulations to the Empress."
