Chapter 641

After the emperor of the Ming Dynasty proposed the Lingshan ancestor worship, he directly found the Minister of rites to urge the Ministry of rites to prepare for ancestor worship.

The Minister of rites just listened. He didn't respond immediately, nor did he say anything to refuse. He smiled and played Tai Chi with the other party. The imperial historian of the Ming Dynasty became famous in the first war in the cabinet years ago. He was not the kind of person who asked for trouble from himself.

After the other party left, he found out about Shoufu and asked for his opinions.

Xie Shoufu had heard some rumors. At this time, he frowned and said, "how can the emperor go out of the palace to Lingshan at such a critical moment? This is too risky. I don't agree."

The "adventure" here has more than one meaning.

Jiang Taifu's view is different from that of him.

"Ancestor worship is the ancestral system... If the precedent is broken, even the ancestral mausoleum will not be sacrificed, will it not upset the people of the government and the people? The situation is getting a little better now. It should be noted that it is the time to reassure the people."

Even though the Emperor Ming didn't mention it, he has been secretly thinking about ancestor worship recently.

The general trend is still there. How can the ancestral rites and laws be broken first?

"But the emperor now looks like this -" Xie Shoufu's tone is also relatively relaxed for Jiang Taifu, who has great prestige and seniority. However, his eyebrows are always frowned: "it's inevitable to worship the ancestors, but he doesn't necessarily have to go to the emperor in person."

"If the emperor doesn't go, who will go?" asked Taifu Jiang, "Your Highness will take the place of you? If your highness goes to Lingshan alone, you can really rest assured?"

This is worth pondering.

Xie Shoufu's answer is yes - of course he is not at ease.

Neither your highness nor the emperor.

These are two distinct types of insecurity.

Under the double suffering of body and mind, the emperor often makes some crazy words now

And your highness, as officials above the third grade, they must accompany them. At that time, everything in the central palace will inevitably return to the emperor's hands - it should be noted that standing with the emperor is not only the obvious effect of walking across the court and the public with a smelly mouth, but also Jixiu with military power in his hands.

Although Ji Xiu never put too much pressure on them, he refused to listen to them easily. His intentions can be seen.

If Jixiu and Mingxiao should cooperate with each other at that time, and remove all their painstaking planning and deployment when they leave Beijing, all their previous efforts will be in vain!

What's more, it's possible for your highness and them to return to BUJING again!

Lingshan is still 300 miles away from the capital. If they encounter the "Purple Star sect"... Oh, it's an old routine!

Although it is absurd, we must always prepare for the worst. After all, the emperor is crazy now.

Once a person is crazy, any unimaginable moth can come out.

Who knows whether he proposed offering sacrifices to his ancestors in order to support them?

Therefore, it is not advisable for the prince to go to Lingshan alone!

Xie Shoufu is very vigilant.

Seeing through his mind, Taifu Jiang said again, "since your majesty wants to go, why don't you complete him... What's wrong with you and me on the side of the holy convoy?"

The implication is that even if the emperor wants to be a demon, it can be pressed to death.

Xie Shoufu thought when he heard the speech.

That's true.

A moment later, he said, "but everywhere outside... I'm afraid something will happen."

Yu Guangsi, a cabinet bachelor, opened his mouth: "At present, the situation is fairly stable. Ten thousand steps back, the Yan army has retreated to the north of Cangzhou. However, it will not affect the capital for two years... As for the Wu family, it has never been aggressive, let alone attack at this time. Moreover, Ningyang is 2000 miles away from the capital. If we say that the Xu family army in Linyuan is still 800 miles away, separated by three cities and two camps in the southwest, Even if there are any changes, we can always deal with them in time. "

Another official said, "it's only ten days to go back and forth to Lingshan."

These words are not to whitewash peace, deliberately ignore danger and take chances, but the fact that they are clearly in front of us.

Xie Shoufu also knows all this.

It's just offering sacrifices to ancestors. It's not like the previous dynasty. You still have to rush to the old capital. It takes more than half a year to go back and forth. If there are changes, you really have to be careful——

Normally, he really shouldn't be so careless and timid, but he lost the momentum of the imperial court.

But he always felt a little uneasy

Although there have been several moonlight scenes since he heard of the accident of King Yan, he still felt that the turnaround came too suddenly and suddenly made people feel unreal. It was as if people were floating in mid air and their feet could not touch the ground.

Then, the audience talked in detail about the possible changes in this trip. Finally, they were indeed within the scope of coping with them.

Jiang Taifu finally said one sentence——

"The ancestral rules can't be broken easily, otherwise the prestige of the imperial court will be destroyed after all..."

This is not the so-called abiding by rules. When rules are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the biggest beneficiary will always be the imperial court. Without rules, there is no place. This is the eternal foundation of governing the country.

In the final analysis, this is still safeguarding the prestige and interests of the imperial court.

At such a critical moment, we can't underestimate this mere ancestor worship.

There was no word for the first time.

Would he not know these things.

"Let me think about it for a few more days..."

If only these changes are said, it is not enough to be afraid. I am afraid that there are still possibilities that they have not thought of.

In the end, the first emperor's death is still next month. I'm not in a hurry to make a decision at this time. During this period, I can pay more attention to the actions everywhere.

And even if what we see and hear next, everything is developing in a good direction.

He also envisioned many possibilities——

But as my colleagues said, these can be dealt with, and no conditions can lead to major events that can overturn the situation.

When Xie Shoufu was thinking, an internal supervisor came and told him that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had come.

Again?

Cabinet officials felt as if they were facing a great enemy.

Then he subconsciously looked at Xie Shoufu sitting there——

Needless to think, it can be seen that the Ming effect is to worship the ancestors. It is clear that it is for the first auxiliary adult.

Xie Shoufu sat there. Wen Si didn't move. His face was calm and calmly took up the tea.

However, this school was calm, but the action of swallowing tea was a little urgent.

What should be prepared should be prepared quickly. We can't find water to drink in the middle of the quarrel, and then let people look down on it.

Lord Shoufu is ready to fight. However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came here to scold him——

Although it also comes with differences, there is less straightforward sharpness and criticism between the words.

The eyes are red and the tone is sad.

"... your majesty is in a coma for a long time today. He still wants to offer a incense stick in front of the first imperial mausoleum, say two words, and finally be filial to the son of man! As the king of a country, why can't even this trivial wish be fulfilled! No one is willing to give the last dignity! Even as the son of man, does he even have the qualification to worship in front of his father's grave?!"

"Will your conscience be at peace if you act like this!"

His voice was sad, angry and hoarse, which made Yiying officials feel mixed.

It is said that people often talk about the same thing before they realize that they are about to leave

Emperor, is this... Really not OK?

Although these words of the Ming Imperial Shi wronged them, one sentence was right - it was the king of a country, and he should be given a decent gift before he made a big trip.

The dignity of the emperor is also the dignity of the imperial court.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty almost had tears in his eyes, and his tone was firm and powerful: "even if you want to oppose to the end, you still have your own official. If you carry your majesty, you will carry your majesty to the Zuling!"

The hearts of the people trembled at this.

Why do you have it on your back!

But I really believe that the other party can do such things!

Isn't it obvious to hit them in the face?

Really let him carry his majesty to Zuling. Who have they become? How can Yan Guan keep their rebellious acts in the history books—— Oh, what's more, Yan Guan is the one who carries the emperor!

This road... Isn't it narrow?

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really serious. Xie Shoufu is also thinking about his Majesty's dragon body. You two have something to discuss. You should focus on solving the problem..."

Jiang Taifu was the first to speak out and spoke a few words to clean himself up - he didn't want to be infamous at his age. He thought he had experienced two dynasties and three emperors. Now he has to have a fourth one. Can he make a good impression on his next boss?

When heaven falls, no one can fall - this is the first secret he taught Ji Fuyin to build the world!

The rest followed in the footsteps of the old man.

There must be nothing wrong with following the old master's footprints.

"We are also discussing this matter with Mr. Xie ge..."

"Offering sacrifices to ancestors is reasonable, polite and legal. It has been a natural thing since ancient times."

“......”

While they were talking, Yu Guang quietly fell on the person who knew Shoufu.

Just wait for the Buddha to speak!

The big Buddha's face was tense.

He wants to nod!

But is this the right time?

He has his own pros and cons to weigh. He thinks it is feasible in his own heart, but he hasn't had time to say it yet. If he let go at this time, wouldn't he appear to be a scolding goods? The man named Ming was scolded as soon as he scolded?

His face doesn't matter. What face does he want when he takes off his official robe in the heart nourishing hall?

But if the other party thinks he is really scolded, he will have to scold in three days or two. I'm afraid the roof of the cabinet will be lifted by the other party's scolding.

When Xie Shoufu was in a dilemma, another internal supervisor came in and told him.

"Gentlemen, your Highness the prince has arrived."

While he was talking, the boy wrapped in a heavy cloak had come in.

The crowd saluted one after another.

"Your Highness, please sit down and talk." Xie Shoufu raised his hand. He often saw the boy's weakness. He always felt stuffy in his chest, neither swallowing nor sighing - is this pulse really going to break?

The prince took his seat in the chair, looked at the imperial historian and Xie Shoufu, and directly explained his intention: "this year, I will go to Lingshan to worship the ancestors with my father and Emperor."

Xie Shoufu was surprised: "Your Highness..."

"I know that you are thinking about your father and my body, but my illness was brought out of the womb, not for a day or two. The trip to worship my ancestors is not an obstacle to me." the prince said here with a slight tone: "as for your father, I have just been to the heart nourishing hall, your father... Now I have only one wish. As a son of man, I should try my best to do it."

Then he looked at the ministers and looked sincere: "please accept this matter."

"Your Highness's words really hurt the ministers." Xie Shoufu sighed and said, "sacrificing the ancestors is the ancestral system, and at a young age, it's just the family affairs of your majesty and your highness. The ministers have no right or reason to stop. Since your majesty and your highness have made a decision, the ministers should comply with it."

Then he turned and looked at the Minister of rites.

"For ancestor worship, please ask the minister to make arrangements."

The places that need to be arranged are not only the travel and process of ancestor worship, but also the central and local areas in Beijing.

The current situation is special, and everything becomes special and cumbersome.

Just as all the officials were coordinating with the battalions to arrange everything, the imperial supervisor had divined the day.

The date of departure is set for the third day of next month.

Soon, ten days later.

Xu Mingyi took a carriage with several servants of the Ming family and went out of the capital.

On the way, she slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

At the beginning of March, the willows beside the official road had sprouted new branches, and a layer of tender green and yellow dwarf grass appeared under the trees.

In the spring that always comes as scheduled, even the air is full of vitality.

It's a good day to do something.

Xu Mingyi put down the curtain.

Whether the plan is successful or not is only in one fell swoop.

And if something happens halfway, or the result is not as desired——

She felt the cold feeling of the dagger in her sleeve against her skin, and her heart had made up its mind.

In short, she did not want and would not let the emperor have another chance to leave Lingshan imperial mausoleum alive.

It took nearly four days to walk and stop on the road.

Xu Mingyi carefully observed that whether on the way or staying in the post house to rest, the emperor was protected by heavy soldiers and followed closely by the arrest guard. She didn't even have a chance to see him.

The faster a person dies, the more afraid he is of death.

At Lingshan, a soft sedan chair carried the emperor who got off the carriage into the palace. There were five or six accompanying imperial doctors alone. The palace men who followed the sedan pushed a fine four-wheel chair in their hands.

Xu Mingyi also settled down in the palace with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty found an excuse for her to serve her pen and ink, and arranged her alone in a warm pavilion next to the study, avoiding her from having a rest with her servants.

The night was dark as ink, and even a star could not be seen.

They fell into a deep sleep with heaven and earth.

Xu Mingyi changed his black clothes, light as the wind, and left the small courtyard quickly.

She needs to get something.

The ancestor worship ceremony is scheduled for the next day. In order to prevent accidents, she must make preparations early.

This Lingshan palace, she only followed Jiaojiao once last year, and she was not familiar with the four. However, the place she was going to was very conspicuous. From a distance, you could see the cascade of high pavilions. Even if you spare some roads, you can always find them.

She deliberately chose a path away from the place where the emperor stayed and tried to avoid the frequent patrols of the forbidden army and the arrest guard. Rao was so, but she still made the heavenly eye explore the way in front.

After walking around for nearly an hour, I finally came to the place mentioned by the long princess.

But——

She turned and looked at the dark night behind her. Her eyes were on alert.

She felt like someone was following he
