Chapter 568 Cui Ziwei is an opponent
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all civil and military officials gathered.
Miao Renhu sat upright on the dragon chaise, but did not feel the excitement and excitement like the last time. Instead, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and restless.
When the civil and military officials saluted Miao Renhu, Jiang Xia stood aside and moved without moving. No one would say anything to him. Instead, they felt that Jiang Xia had not sat on the four-sided stage, and they looked very uncomfortable.
Some well-informed people have already known the reason for suddenly summoning all officials to discuss politics in advance, while some are not so well-informed, so they have various speculations in their hearts. However, something happens when Jiang Xia comes back, which is the consensus among all officials in the capital.
You should know that Jiang Xia had forced Cui Zhengyi to personally behead his own son, and he also specially changed Cui Ziwei's surname to "Li" and named "Pin". As long as the relationship between the Cui family and Jiang Xia is not blind, it can be seen that it is irreconcilable.
But while Jiang Xia left, I don’t know how the Cui family and daughter confused the emperor. Cui Ziwei became the queen and Cui Zhengyi said that she still had hope to be granted Gu Ming, and became the third remaining Gu Ming minister except Jiang Xia and Yang Yiqing in the court.
All of this is done while Jiang Xia is away, so everyone knows that Jiang Xia will definitely have conflicts with the Cui father and daughter when she comes back.
Thinking of this, many ministers looked for Cui Zhengyi in the hall. But they didn't find it. Everyone realized that something might happen today. In such an occasion, as long as Cui Zhengyi is still alive, they will definitely get it.
Now that I haven't seen anyone, something has happened.
After the ceremony, all the officials stared at Jiang Xia, wanting to see what Jiang Xia wanted to say to everyone.
Jiang Xia bowed to the ministers with a fist and said, "My lords, I'll call you all here today for one thing. That is, the emperor issued an order to remove the officials from the humble ministers and remove them from the capital. Originally, the king wanted the ministers to die, but the ministers could not die. The emperor intended to dismiss the officials, so the ministers should immediately remove the court ward and return the official seal.
But unfortunately, the emperor is still young and easily confused by evil people. Therefore, today I specially summoned all the adults to discuss politics and discuss this matter.
If there is anything wrong with me, Jiangxia, I would like to hand over the official seal and leave the capital immediately. I hope you all speak out loud and speak freely."
As soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, the ministers immediately started to clamor. They had expected that something would happen to Jiang Xia when she came back, but they didn't expect such a major incident to happen.
There was nothing Jiang Xia could suggest, and the ministers suddenly knelt on the ground together, bowed loudly to Miao Renhu and said, "Your Majesty, think twice, Lord Fuguo devoted his efforts to the Ming Dynasty and did his best. He was also loyal to the emperor and assisted him with all his heart.
Since the emperor was young, he was taught and assisted by the Lord of the Fuguo. As the saying goes, he will be a teacher for one day and be a father for life. The Lord of the Fuguo has the merits of the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was mistakenly deceived by the treacherous and slandered to make decisions that would hinder the wise and wise."
"Please take back your life!" The officials suddenly shouted in unison.
Although there have been some speculations, Miao Renhu was still shocked when he saw all civil and military officials working together to support Jiang Xia.
Judging from the current situation, all civil and military officials only listened to Jiang Xia and didn't take the emperor seriously. He didn't say anything, but he was already blinded by the treacherous and slandered, and his decision was also hindered by the wise.
So what is the point of discussing politics? Isn’t it like going through the motions?
In fact, Miao Renhu really guessed correctly, and this political discussion was just a formality.
In the seventh year of Ming Dynasty, no one who can stand in the Palace of Supreme Harmony today was promoted by Jiang Xia. Even if it was not promoted by him, he would have to nodded by him. In other words, the ministers in the palace were not Jiang Xia’s confidants, but Jiang Xia’s confidants.
This is the true master of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knows it. If Jiang Xia said that he would voluntarily return power to the emperor, then everything would be fine. But if the emperor wanted to force Jiang Xia to return power, it would be difficult to achieve his wish without a seven or eight years of layout.
Seeing the ministers reacting like this, what else could Miao Renhu say? He could only stand up immediately and say, "The family of all the ministers is too worried. Jiang... Oh, no, the Grand Tutor is too worried. What I said before is just a moment of joking. Don't take it seriously."
"The emperor is wise!" I don't know who took the lead and shouted, and the ministers immediately shouted: "The emperor is wise."
After a group of ministers stood up, Jiang Xia said: "Recently, the emperor has not liked to review memorials, so many memorials have been accumulated. Now that I have returned to Beijing, the six ministries will just collect the memorials and hand them over to me."
"Yes." Among the six ministers, except for Cui Zhengyi who was not here, he responded in unison.
When things got here, the overall situation was settled. Jiang Xia’s position in the court could not be shaken casually.
The government affairs of the Palace of Supreme Harmony ended and all the officials dispersed. Jiang Xia did not leave the palace, but went directly to the Qianqing Palace.
Cui Ziwei is indeed still here in the East Warm Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.
When he saw Jiang Xia, Cui Ziwei smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if I should call you Lord Jiang? Or the Emperor?"
Jiang Xia ignored Cui Ziwei's ridicule, but directly exposed a jade pendant in her hand and said, "Your father is in my hands, why don't we discuss it? How about changing one? As long as you hand over Zaijiang, I promise to send someone to send you father and daughter to leave the Ming Dynasty safely. The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and the outside world is infinitely beautiful. I will give you enough wealth to let you spend the rest of your life. My Jiang Xia's reputation is still guaranteed in the Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely do what I say."
Cui Ziwei glanced at the jade pendant in Jiang Xia's hand, and there was no nervous look on her face. She smiled and said, "Master Jiang is Master Jiang. Tell me, where to exchange hostages, I'll bring people to see you."
"So refreshing?" Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, feeling quite surprised. It was normal for his daughter to save her father, but it was beyond Jiang Xia's surprise.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Okay, since you are so happy, I will immediately let someone bring your father into the palace and let's exchange it."
"Yes." Cui Ziwei nodded.
Everything was as simple as buying cabbage in the vegetable market, and Jiang Xia also felt something was wrong. But he wanted to see Zhu Zaijiang soon, and he didn't want to delay for a moment. So Jiang Xia immediately asked the guards in the palace to go out and notify Han Mufeng, asking him to bring people into the palace to exchange.
When notifying him, Jiang Xia became scheming. He asked Han Mufeng to prepare a real Cui Zhengyi and a fake Cui Zhengyi. He asked him to bring the fake ones himself, and Xiao Sha would really bring them to the palace.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xia, who was waiting for news in the palace cabinet, received a reply from the palace confidant that the fake Cui Zhengyi was surrounded and killed shortly after he left Xiaoyao Villa.
Jiang Xia, who was still drinking tea, suddenly fell to the ground. His face became heavy. For the first time, he began to feel that Cui Ziwei was an opponent that needs to be faced.r1058
