"The King of Yan is so insidious. It must be the King of Yan who set fire to the palace and burned down the palace, but he wants to accuse His Majesty of injustice!"
Huang Zicheng was so angry that his beard flew up. As soon as the morning court was over, without waiting for Emperor Jianwen to call him, he followed Emperor Jianwen into the Zhengxin Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he roared angrily.
Qitai, Lian Zining, and Jing Qing felt guilty. They looked at each other and said nothing.
The court this morning was really lively. More than a dozen of the emperor's relatives, princes and ministers fell to the ground and told the emperor bitterly that the leak of Prince Yan's mansion had affected their own mansion. They suffered heavy losses and the number of casualties in the family. Please ask the emperor.
Investigate the responsibility of the Yan Palace.
Among them, Huang Zhen and Huang Yushi were the saddest. Huang Yushi was full of grief and anger. He fainted several times when he talked about his pain. Later, Zhu Yunwen couldn't stand it anymore. When he fainted for the third time, he happily ordered the Golden Melon Warrior to take care of him.
He put it down and dragged her to the hospital to give her medicine.
Immediately afterwards, King Yan Zhu Di came to court to complain. Zhu Di told Zhu Yunwen in detail about the assassination of the palace last night and the assassins setting fire to the palace, and asked his majesty to uphold justice for him. This time, he even injured the guard.
, the captured crossbow machine, blow darts and other personal and material evidence were brought outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for the emperor to verify.
This time, Zhu Di was neither arrogant nor arrogant. He was sincere and calm. He just told the story in detail. His tone was very calm, and there was not even a single word that meant to induce everyone to doubt the emperor. However, Zhu Di only said
He said that he was assassinated in the palace yesterday, and everyone looked at the emperor with something wrong.
The yellow mud stuck in his crotch was either feces or feces. This time, Zhu Yunwen had a taste that was difficult to explain. He blushed and walked down from the throne. He helped his fourth uncle with his own hands and swore that he would hunt down the murderer and ensure that he
In order to ensure his safety, he severely reprimanded the officials of Yingtian Mansion, Wucheng Army and Horse Department, and the Ministry of Punishment, and finally calmed Zhu Di down.
Zhu Yunwen immediately made personal arrangements to temporarily move King Yan to Prince An's Mansion to keep him company, and sent heavy troops to protect him. At the same time, he also personally promised that the imperial court would be responsible for rebuilding Prince Yan's Mansion. As for the other affected royal relatives, civil and military ministers
Those who benefited from King Yan were compensated to a certain extent.
After everything was arranged and most of the time for the court meeting had been consumed, Zhu Yunwen had no intention of listening to the officials any more. He said sadly "Dismiss the court" and returned to the Zhengxin Hall with a roll of sleeves.
"Your Majesty, in accordance with my opinion, it is better to send King Yan back to Peiping as soon as possible!"
Fang Xiaoru said solemnly: "This matter is most likely the result of King Yan himself. But as long as King Yan is in Beijing, no matter what happens to him, all the fingers will be pointed at His Majesty, and His Majesty will have a hard time defending himself. If this continues
, I wonder what other tricks King Yan will come up with. Since we can’t start in Jinling, we’d better send him away as soon as possible. As long as King Yan leaves Jinling safely, then all the unfavorable suspicions between the government and the public against His Majesty will naturally be self-defeating.”
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand dejectedly and said: "Send him away, send him away, send him away quickly, I don't want to see him again for a moment."
Qi Tai was very frustrated. He originally expected Jin Yiwei to get rid of King Yan, but he didn't expect that Jin Yiwei made such a big move, but King Yan was unharmed. Instead, the emperor couldn't wait to drive King Yan away. King Yan
With this departure, the dragon returns to the sea and the tiger returns to the mountains. It will not be easy to deal with him again.
Thinking of this, Qi Tai hurriedly made amends and suggested: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Mr. Fang's opinion. It is better to send King Yan back to Peiping as soon as possible. However, King Yan destroyed his palace and pretended to be assassinated. From various measures, it can be seen that
King Yan was obviously very wary of the imperial court.
Although the imperial court's decision is to stabilize King Yan first, cut his wings, and finally attack King Yan, we must be on guard against what King Yan might do after he returns to Peiping. I believe that we need to strengthen our military strength and armaments.
To control Peiping, we have to prevent King Yan from jumping over the wall and taking action first."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Ai Qing is the Minister of War. It is up to Ai Qing to dispatch troops and prepare generals for defense. I wonder what Ai Qing would like to propose?"
Qi Tai said: "Xie Gui is now in charge of the Beiping Dusi. However, most of the generals and commanders under the Beiping Dusi are the old troops of King Yan. Xie Gui alone may not be able to function alone. I think that I can order the governor Song Zhong to lead 30,000 troops to garrison in the name of preparing the border.
In Kaiping, the governor Xu Kai led 30,000 troops to garrison Linqing, and the governor Geng Gu led 30,000 troops to garrison Shanhaiguan. The two guards of Beiping and Yongqing followed the king of Yan to sweep the north many times, and he brought out all the generals.
Now that we don’t have time to exchange them one by one, we can transfer all the officers and soldiers of the two guards and move them to Zhangde and Shunde. In this way, even if King Yan returns to Peiping, he will still be His Majesty’s caged swallow, unable to revive.”
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed and said: "In this way, everything can be guaranteed. It's very good. Let's draft the decree according to your wishes."
He wanted to kill the traitor by assassination, but in the end it was self-defeating and harmed King Yan. Jing Qing felt ashamed and ashamed in his heart. When he heard Qitai's advice, he stepped forward and said to Zhu Yunwen: "This person King Yan is cunning and cunning, and he has many tricks."
, I'm afraid that Zhang Rui and Xie Gui, the two adults, don't know the true face of King Yan and can't guard against King Yan's methods. I'd like to go to Peiping to assist the two adults in the hope that the imperial court will issue an edict and capture King Yan on the spot!"
"Good!" Zhu Yunwen praised: "I was thinking about the officials in Peiping, but I was deceived by King Yan's illusion. Jing Aiqing went to Peiping in person, so I felt relieved. Then I will entrust you with the post of Chief Secretary of Peking and keep an eye on me.
King Yan!"
Fang Xiaoru cupped his hands and said: "I have another suggestion. Your Majesty can select some officials who are loyal to the country and entrust them with the duties of interviewer. Let them patrol the world, ask about the sufferings of the people, inspect officials, and uphold integrity and denounce corruption. Your Majesty
Having just ascended the throne, you can use these eyes and ears to understand the world's people's sentiments. At the same time... you can also let them secretly investigate the kings' illegal activities. If there is conclusive evidence, the imperial court will cut off the vassal vassals. It will not be like cutting off the kings of Zhou and Qi.
You were so passive when you were the king."
Zhu Yunwen said with deep emotion: "What Mr. Xiaozhi said is true. With such a multi-pronged approach, there is no need to worry about the Yan vassal being immortal! Just as Mr. said, we should select virtuous people to interview the world. As for interview envoys, please invite Mr. Xiaozhi and Master
Make a choice for me!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Not long after King Yan arrived in Beijing, many disturbances occurred one after another. Zhu Yunwen couldn't bear it anymore, so he dealt with him casually for a few days, and then sent him away like a plague.
King Yan left Jinling safely and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he fell into deep disappointment. His real purpose in going to Beijing this time was to use the power of public opinion and the family ties between his uncle and nephew to impress the emperor and prompt him to
Give up the idea of killing all the vassals.
However, this goal was obviously not achieved. Zhu Yunwen had been perfunctory with him and avoided talking about the three kings being reduced from vassalage. Jinling had not been able to dispel the emperor's idea of reducing vassalage. If Yang Xu had not secretly communicated the news, he would have almost
He was killed by a hidden arrow. The emperor, who was a dignified emperor, actually used such despicable methods. It seemed that the emperor was not only determined to kill the kings, but also used any means.
Zhu Di finally began to consider the possibility of rebellion. This was the only way he could go except to tie his hands. However, without soldiers and power, how could he fight against the emperor? Although Zhu Di had fought countless battles, he never
He had never fought a battle with such disparity in power and such a dangerous situation. On the way back north, Zhu Di fell into deep contemplation.
At the same time that King Yan returned north, Song Zhong, Xu Kai, Geng Gu and other governors-general had already received the imperial edict and led their troops to Kaiping, Linqing and Shanhaiguan respectively. The two guards from Beiping and Yongqing had also arrived.
After receiving the order from the Ministry of War to move to Zhangde and Shunde, the rectification officers and soldiers moved to the defense collectively.
A few days later, the imperial envoy Jing Qing was appointed as the counselor of the Chief Envoy in Peiping and took office. The imperial envoy was more than a head taller than the counselor of the Chief Envoy. Jing Qing was the emperor's confidant and had never heard of him.
What kind of mistake was it that he was demoted and moved to another place, and the place he went to was Peiping?
This obvious signal made the civil and military officials in the DPRK understand one thing: King Yan's adventure to go south for a showdown with Emperor Jianwen was completely defeated. The emperor's intention to reduce the vassalage has never wavered at all, and the court's road to reducing the vassalage will continue.
Keep walking.
After another half month, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng carefully selected a list of twenty-four people and submitted it to Emperor Jianwen. Zhu Yunwen immediately issued an edict, announcing that he would dispatch the Minister of Punishment, Bao Zhao, and the Minister of Hubu, Xia Yuanji, to Xu Simian and other twenty people.
The four men served as the court's interview envoys, patrolling the country on behalf of the emperor, asking about the sufferings of the people, inspecting officials, and criticizing corruption.
These actions are all seen in Xia Xun's eyes, and he is also secretly preparing: once he has decided to defect to King Yan, how to ensure the safety of his family; King Yan entrusts his three sons to him, how to ensure that they can return north safely? Thinking of others
It's actually not easy to do some small tricks right under your nose.
In the afternoon of this day, Xia Xun was on duty at the yamen. Suddenly, an eunuch sent an order to him to appear. Xia Xun's official rank was not high, but he took over Luo Kedi and was now responsible for guarding the palace guards and ceremonial guards.
The arrangement of being on duty means that the official is not high, but he is a close official of the emperor. He has the opportunity to see the emperor at any time. This fact is indeed unmatched by many high officials in the court.
Upon hearing the emperor's summons, Xia Xun didn't know the reason, so he immediately followed the eunuch into the palace. He made some inquisitive inquiries on the way, but the eunuch didn't know whether it was because he didn't know the reason for the emperor's summons or because Xiao Fuzi's death frightened them.
He didn't dare to say anything at all. Seeing that he couldn't find out anything, Xia Xun had no choice but to keep silent.
As he was walking along the royal road, he suddenly saw a civil official walking towards him, muttering something in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was muttering. Xia Xun took a look and recognized it was Huang Zhen, the supervisory envoy. When the two of them were chief and deputy angels, they had
After being ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to go to Jinan to supervise the arrest of the White Lotus cult bandits, Xia Xun was an old acquaintance. Xia Xun hurriedly informed the young chamberlain and asked him to wait aside. Then he went up to Huang Zhen and greeted Huang Zhen with cupped fists: "
Master Huang, long time no see."
