Chapter 96
Chapter 96 �
The prince was gently kicked by Zhou Mengchen, and then he woke up and said, "Father, I am here. I am here."
Seeing that the prince was here, Jiajing not only did not relax, but instead brows tightened and looked like he was energetic.
The prince did not notice these details, but Zhou Mengchen saw it.
Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Jiajing is Jiajing." He suddenly understood Jiajing's thoughts. Jiajing was not worried about his illness at this moment, but about whether he would become the Supreme Emperor at once.
Although there were many emperors of Nei Zen in history, from Jiajing's eyes, this may not be the original intention of the old emperor, but the times have reached an irreversible level, so I can only follow the flow.
If the prince doesn't come, Jiajing will be worried. He is worried that he is seriously ill and the court has no backbone. Now that the prince is coming, Jiajing is also worried. He is worried that he is too backbone inside and outside the court, so he is no longer important.
Therefore, Zhou Mengchen immediately arranged him to tell Jiajing.
After hearing this, Jiajing's brows loosened a little.
Zhou Mengchen immediately reported and said, "Your Majesty is better now. I would like to ask the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice to meet again in turn to calm the hearts of the inside and outside."
The heart of being at peace is the heart of being at peace, that is, they have no idea of isolating the inside and outside. Although the heart of being at peace has blocked the news, there is no airtight wall in the world. In less than a day or two, the news is full of rumors, which is not conducive to the stability of the inside and outside. It is better to let Jiajing come forward.
To put it badly.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was no emperor who could control the extreme forty years. Before him, it was the 31st year of Emperor Taizu Hongwu. Therefore, Jiajing was sick and even died, and many people said that Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Before. Before, he was mentally prepared inside.
Not to mention, Jiajing was just sick.
It is normal for people in their fifties to get sick.
Jiajing said, "Okay. I'll entrust it to Zhou Qing during this period."
Zhou Mengchen said, "This is my duty." Zhou Mengchen hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Shou Guardian Xu has not gone far yet, why would you invite him back?"
Jiajing looked angry and said, "No need. Everyone left this world."
Zhou Mengchen actually didn't want Xu Jie to come back. However, although Zhou Mengchen was not the prime minister at this moment, he had already put himself in the position of prime minister. As the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, what he should pay attention to is not his own self-interest, but if the court is stable.
I have to admit that when Jiajing was in poor health, there was an old minister in the court who made the most peace of mind inside and outside.
So it can be said that it is the wish of many people. Zhou Mengchen could not have thought it was unknown. But he also knew that Jiajing would not let Xu Jie come back. On the one hand, Xu Jie insisted on resigning to embarrass Jiajing. Others didn't know, but Zhou Mengchen still knew. Some of Jiajing's illness came from this matter, and in addition, Jiajing was so weak and powerless at the moment, and the government and the people inside and outside hoped that there would be an old minister. But Jiajing decided not to want it.
Because Yang Tinghe is also an old minister.
It is hard not to think of Emperor Zhengde's last period at this time. There are many things that are hard to say about. It is said that Emperor Zhengde wanted to change his doctor in the last period, but Yang Tinghe refused. He wanted to adopt a child in the royal family as his heir. Yang Tinghe didn't allow him, saying that the country was a Changjun and the like.
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Some may be true. Some people pour dirty water on Yang Tinghe.
But Jiajing understood one thing very well, if Xu Jie was still the chief assistant now, let alone the matter of inner Zen, Li Chunfang and Zhou Mengchen could not do it without a stable foothold. Xu Jie had the ability to do it.
Jiajing was seriously ill, but after saying a few words, he became in a bad mood.
The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician has the ingredients to calm the mind. Although Jiajing fell asleep again.
Zhou Mengchen and the prince guarded for a while, and then they only let the imperial physician maid guard. They retreated to the outside room. The prince fell asleep on one side. Zhou Mengchen picked up the lamp, held a medical book, and started to read it carefully.
Unconsciously, the east is white.
Li Chunfang came over. He did not say hello to Zhou Mengchen first, but went to bring last night's medical records and daily life notes.
In fact, there are many things in Jiajing, and I don’t want anyone to follow me. But now Jiajing is sick. Jiajing has become a place of suspicion. Zhou Mengchen arranged that he also let the daily necessities follow me and was on standby on twelve hours.
When Li Chunfang saw it, she said angrily: "Zhou Mengchen, Your Majesty woke up yesterday. Why didn't you call me?"
Zhou Mengchen said, "Why did I call you? Your Majesty didn't say it?"
Li Chunfang was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Mengchen continued, "There are only you and me in the cabinet, and there are too few people. There are also shifts during the day and night. You and I are not young anymore, and I will call you whatever you encounter. How can I persist?"
Li Chunfang heard Zhou Mengchen say something very reasonable. But in fact, the power of the cabinet is all derived from the emperor. If the emperor does not interfere, the chief minister can monopolize the power. However, once the emperor intervenes, the rules of the game will change.
Yes, the emperor's will is to pass the cabinet to be considered an imperial edict, otherwise it is an imperial edict. But in fact, anyone in the cabinet can make an affiliated signature for the emperor's imperial edict. It may not be passed through the chief minister.
Just like last night, the emperor issued an order to send an audience with the six ministers through Zhou Mengchen, but it was not approved by Li Chunfang at all. It was also legal.
But what made Li Chunfang even more uncomfortable was that Zhou Mengchen actually invited Xu Jie to come back.
This is the most unhappy thing about Li Chunfang. There are two things that he is unhappy. First, he doesn't want Xu Jie to come back. Although he knows that it's actually not good for Xu Jie to leave this stall for him. But when he really grasps the power of the prime minister, he immediately falls in love with it. This is the prime minister.
There are a few people who can take it and let it go. Most people can take it but can't. Li Chunfang is such a person.
At this moment, he didn't want anyone to steal his position as the chief minister, including Xu Jie.
Second, he should have said this.
He is Xu Jie's disciple, and everyone in the world knows it. But now he said it from Zhou Mengchen. As mentioned in the previous article, things in the palace cannot be kept confidential. Even if they can be kept confidential for a while, they cannot be kept confidential all the time.
Don't write them all into your daily life notes.
It will be spread in the future. Zhou Mengchen had the idea of inviteing Xu Jie back, but Xu Jie's disciples did not. This would have greatly harmed Li Chunfang's image.
How could Li Chunfang not be angry?
So what if he is just angry? He really can't do anything to Zhou Mengchen.
The cabinet chief minister and the cabinet minister are almost the same in terms of status. The cabinet chief minister is at most half a level higher than the cabinet minister. He has no way to deal with Zhou Mengchen.
After Zhou Mengchen expressed his kindness to Li Chunfang, he said, "I'll leave this to the prime minister, and I'm tired. I'll say goodbye now."
Li Chunfang could only watch Zhou Mengchen leave.
He took a deep breath and started his day's work.
In order to monopolize the power, all the affairs of the cabinet were in his own hands. Zhou Mengchen could read books all night long. Li Chunfang was not allowed. He had to deal with all the affairs of the court and also deal with the sudden situation in Jiajing.
For example, when Jiajing summoned the six ministers of the ministers, he also served as a sidekick.
Anyway, Li Chunfang was so busy that she was dying.
Zhou Mengchen was calm and ignored everything. After going back, he slept all day. The next night, he was on a one-night shift. He talked to Shen Shixing and knew what were the most urgent things in the cabinet recently?
If Jiajing wakes up in the middle of the night, he will talk in front of Jiajing.
Nothing else is left.
After several days, Zhou Mengchen's mood was much better, although staying up late at night, his mood was much better. Although staying up late at night, Zhou Mengchen often stayed up until late at night in the following matters. He has not been so leisurely yet.
The sleep time every day can be guaranteed, and even Jiajing's health gradually improves. However, Jiajing's inner body is too weak and needs to be recuperated. Before going to bed at night, you should take medicine to calm the mind and help sleep. Generally, there is nothing to do at night.
Zhou Mengchen could even take a nap in the middle of the night. After all, he is a Grand Secretary and has privileges. No one would say that Zhou Mengchen or something.
But Li Chunfang couldn't do it.
After several days, Jiajing's illness was not cured, and Li Chunfang was about to fall ill.
