Chapter: 65
"First ask what happened, and then report to His Majesty." Hu Guang was worried.
Not long after, news from all parties came together.
Emperor Yong Le was not in the palace, but in the Zhongyi Guards, and the Zhongyi Guards were dispatched not because of the Jianwen remnants' rebellion, but to search the whole city for a death row prisoner who had escaped from the imperial prison.
Emperor Yongle, Zhongyiwei, Imperial Prison, Death Row.
When the four elements are taken together, isn't this the proper second prince Zhu Gaoxu who escaped from prison and plotted a mutiny, and was discovered by Emperor Yong Le and hunted down by the whole city?
Several people in the cabinet looked at each other.
Since ancient times, there have been many factions in the imperial court, each with its own interests.
These people are currently on duty in the cabinet. Jin Youzi is the hardcore imperial party, Xie Jin and Yang Rong are both the eldest princes, and Hu Guang is the one who wins.
There are always contradictions, and the enemy and the enemy are not divided according to the standpoint of black and white. I support you in this matter, and oppose you in another matter. This is also the normal state of the cabinet.
Speaking of people, for example, Xie Jin, he was born tall, and the imperial examination was Jiangxi Jieyuan.
As for other people in the cabinet, most of them were compiled by Hanlin. Although there is not much difference between Qingpao and Greenpao, the official senior level is the senior one.
Xie Jin believes that only people like himself who have both ability and political integrity are qualified to be in charge of the cabinet.
So he has always wanted to turn the cabinet into his private domain, and he only needs to inform himself about anything.
But reality is often cruel.
Because Xie Jin not only has no experience in governing, but also lacks the courage and skills to monopolize power and integrate party members.
Among the bachelors and editors in the cabinet, apart from Xie Jin, Jin Youzi, who was a late bloomer, was the most likely to take the top position in the cabinet.
It's not any other reason, but Jin Youzi doesn't care who is the prince, he only recognizes Zhu Di.
Jin Youzi is a military staff officer who is also good at criminal and prison litigation. He has strong professional ability and Zhu Di likes him very much.
Xie Jin didn't like Jin Youzi, and Jin Youzi also felt that Xie Jin was an eyesore - since you have such ambitions, why do you have to be awkward with others?
Although these thoughts were fleeting, Jin Youzi still turned his attention to Xie Jin and asked: "Xie Xie thinks, what should we do?"
Xie Jin's arrogance turned into arrogance, but at the critical moment, he was able to make up his mind: "Go and inform His Royal Highness the First Prince!"
Hearing this, Hu Guang was almost out of breath: "Go and inform the First Prince? The First Prince will know the news later than us. Now we go to inform the First Prince. What will His Majesty think?"
The grasshopper Hu Guang didn't finish his words, that is, if it was really the Second Prince's mutiny, and Emperor Yong Le personally led the loyal guards to arrest and suppress it, and they reported to the First Prince without any hassle, would the First Prince do anything? If it moves, Emperor Yong Le will suspect that it is also going to seize power and usurp the throne. If it does not move, the collective status of the cabinet will be awkward. Is this Emperor Yong Le's cabinet or the First Prince's cabinet?
"Your Majesty has no arrangements, so we will stay in the cabinet and cannot move!" Jin Youzi was categorical, and also disagreed with the cabinet's arbitrariness.
However, Yang Rong expressed his objection under Hu Guang's astonished eyes.
"I'll go and inform the First Prince. If His Majesty asks about it afterwards, I will be responsible!"
"Brother Mian!" Hu Guang didn't dare to say anything, so he had to drink Yang Rong's words.
Yang Rong nodded slightly, and at the same time turned his head and said to Xie Jin: "Bachelor Xie, you are the oldest and highest-ranking member of the cabinet, so you should be in the cabinet."
He also said to Jin Youzi: "Brother Tui'an, the country has something to do, even if you can't support the collapse of the building, as the cabinet, you have to do things. You are the only one among us who knows the soldiers, and the cabinet is also indispensable for coordinating the Ministry of War and the five armies. Governor's Mansion, let me go."
With complicated eyes, Jin Youzi finally nodded.
