Yang Pu kowtowed to the emperor and said that he was guilty. However, the prince was benevolent in nature, loving the people, studious, intelligent, wise, hard-working, and meticulous. He was worthy of being the crown prince of the country. Yesterday, when we arrived, the prince got up before dawn and summoned the officials first.
The twenty-fourth division, after confirming that everything was correct, left the city to greet the driver.
On the way, the prince's horse stumbled first, breaking the shaft of the carriage and preventing him from moving forward. The prince was eager to meet the driver and wanted to ride on the horse. However, when the ministers received news from the front and knew that the emperor had arrived too early, they advised the prince to wait and let the prince wait.
We went back to the mansion to change cars. Unexpectedly, the eunuch who changed cars encountered many twists and turns along the way, and the emperor's itinerary estimate was wrong, and the time was advanced, so the prince missed the time to greet the emperor."
Zhu Di sneered: "So, it's actually a connection, isn't it?"
Yang Pu kowtowed and said: "How dare I criticize the emperor? I just told the emperor the reason for his late arrival. The old minister did not know how to adapt and discouraged the prince, which caused the prince's delay in welcoming him. I am guilty and I am willing to be punished by the emperor, but the prince is not guilty...
…”
………”
Zhu Di snorted coldly and ignored him. He turned to Zhan Shijin Zhong of Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace and asked, "Yang Pu has confessed his crime, what about you?"
Jin Zhong said in a loud voice: "I am not guilty, but I refuse to obey. This is because someone deliberately framed and set up the prince!"
Zhu Di was furious and slapped the case: "The prince has behaved disrespectfully. The facts are clear. Who deliberately framed him?"
Jin Zhongdao: "The official road is flat, but the prince's good horse has a broken leg. The prince's chariot needs to be repaired from time to time. Isn't it strange that the shaft of the chariot is cracked? The emperor's Luan chariot first said that he wanted a chariot.
The hour has just arrived, but it has arrived in half an hour. Isn’t it strange? If this is not someone’s deliberate frame-up, isn’t it surprising?”
Zhu Di laughed in anger and shouted: "That's nonsense. The army is marching slightly faster and slower. It is difficult to predict accurately. What's so strange about it being slightly faster?"
Jin Zhong lifted his neck and said: "The commander of the honor guard and the horsemen who commanded Jingnan at the time was the horseman of the King of Han. He carried him with one hand. From this, I can't help but think wildly."
Zhu Di's face darkened and he shouted: "Bold, the honor guard and horse envoy once served as the horseman of the King of Han. Are you the King of Han playing tricks on you? You are framed by the King of Han and driving a wedge between my father and my son!"
Jin Zhong said generously: "The King of Han originally granted a seal to Yunnan, but he refused to go.
The emperor changed his title to Qingzhou, but he refused to go! Who doesn't know the king of Han's heart? If it weren't for your half-hearted intention, the emperor, would the king of Han dare to compete for the throne? Would he dare to ask the emperor for Tiance Guards to protect the palace?
Since the King of Han has such ambitions, how can the prince not be suspicious of the late arrival of the prince and the strange things happening? After the King of Han got the queen of Tiance, he always regarded himself as the general of Tiance and booed himself, comparable to Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty..."
Your Majesty! The King of Han wants to be Li Shimin. I dare to ask: Your Majesty, are you willing to be Li Yuan?"
Jin Zhong's words were sonorous and powerful, and the sound of gold and stone shook the entire hall, making Zhu Di stand up in shock.
After hearing Jin Zhong's rebellious words, Ji Gang couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "This Master Jin is more ruthless than me. He is impatient with life and wants to drag his wife and children to die together.
If I send him to prison, he may not die, but this time, he is really dead!"
Zhu Di stared at Jin Zhong with a look of shock and anger. Ji Gang was already ready to take someone. Unexpectedly, Zhu Di stared for a long time and then smiled instead of being angry: "Hahaha! You Jin Zhong, you really ate the heart of a bear."
You are so brave that you dare to talk nonsense and slander your Majesty. If I hadn’t thought that you were a loyal minister of Jingnan and had made many military exploits under Lian’s command, based on what you said today, Lian would not be able to spare you! Get out!”
Ji Gang listened and his eyes almost popped out: "Is this the end? The one who confessed honestly was locked up. This stubborn donkey roared at the palace lady and was unruly. If Taizu was alive, he would dare to alienate the emperor.
, destroying your nine clans is a trivial matter, not digging up your ancestral graves is an extrajudicial favor, the emperor actually... just let him go like this?"
Ji Gang knew that Jin Zhong was an old man from Jingnan. He had joined the army with King Yan, and Jin Zhong was a subordinate he trusted very much. He was good at divination. King Yan called him for divination when there was something difficult to solve, and it was later proven that everything was possible.
It was accurate, so he was trusted by Zhu Di, but because of this he was not held accountable for his crimes? Ji Gang secretly glanced at Zhu Di, but he didn't look like a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva.
After Zhu Di finished speaking, when he saw how many people were still standing there dumbfounded, he couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you doing standing there? Everyone's appearance is disgusting and they are annoying to us. Get out!"
Ji Gang finally came to his senses, and with a quick wave of his hand, he called on a few guards to drag Yang Pu and Jin Zhong out.
When the hall was empty, Zhu Di stood alone. After a while, he suddenly smiled deeply and said softly: "Did the chaos of the east wind and the west wind come from above? Is this the instigator Lian..."
Yang Xu left the palace and took a carriage back home.
Since the injury, he has been riding in the car.
In the sedan, Xu Jiang was sitting in the side compartment. Waiting for Xia Xun to sit down, he handed him a cup of tea and asked quietly: "How are you doing, Duke?"
Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "Looking at this situation, I am afraid that the fight between the crown prince and the King of Han has exceeded the limit that the emperor can bear. The power that the two people can use has aroused the emperor's vigilance, so the emperor's behavior is so abnormal.
I haven't figured out how the emperor will do this, so why not... a big storm, I'm afraid it's inevitable!"
Xu Jiang suddenly said: "If this is the case, it is indeed a big danger. Just one by one... will the words of Li Shimin and Li Yuan, whose humble position was passed down to the prince, anger the emperor even more? Will the trouble get out of hand?"
Xia Xun shook his head gently and said: "If you understand the emperor's mind, you will understand that the emperor will not be unable to listen to such words, nor will he be unable to tolerate such people, unless... he is completely confused.
.Our emperor is full of criticism, but this fool’s hat cannot be put on his head!”
There was no words all the way. When they arrived in front of the Yang Mansion, the car stopped. The driver got out of the car and placed the pedals. Xu Jiang took a step forward, helped Xia Xun up, opened the sedan curtain and got out of the car. Xia Xun stepped into the gate and immediately
He ordered: "Close the door. From now on, no outsiders will be seen! The master's wound is ulcerated and he needs to rest."
After hearing this, the two courtyards did not dare to neglect, and immediately rushed to slam the door shut and unlatched the door bolt.
At this moment, the little maid Xian Ya ran out of the inner house with joy. Xian Ya was holding up her skirt and her little face was flushed. When she saw Xia Xun, she immediately said with joy: "Master, I am very happy. Mrs. Xilin is happy to give birth to her."
Yes, I gave birth to a little girl for you. Mother and daughter are safe!"
Xia Xun was overjoyed. He lifted up his robe, jumped out in one stride, and said with a smile from ear to ear: "This child has been fussing with me since the morning, and now Mr. Zun has given birth. Quick, quick, quick, take me to see him!"
The master and the maid disappeared in an instant without knowing where they were going...
All the officials in the East Palace, except for one Jin Zhong, who had the merit of serving the dragon, were sentenced to prison. The news spread quickly in the capital, like a thunder on the ground, the official who married the man who was fighting for the "move to the capital" was brain-burning
They finally woke up.
No! To be precise: they are even more confused.
What's wrong with the emperor? He wants to move the capital. He wants to move the capital of Ming Dynasty from Jinling to Beijing. Now...it seems that even the prince has to be changed? A new house and a new person?
The officials of the East Palace were imprisoned. Even if it was not certain that the emperor would be a prince, the officials also knew that the prince, who had always been disliked by the emperor, had lost the emperor's face in front of Chinese and foreign ministers, which made the emperor furious.
, the position of the East Palace is on the verge of collapse. Cutting off the subordinate officials of the East Palace is a clear signal from the emperor to all civil and military officials.
However, Yang Xu, Xie Jin, and several cabinet scholars from the prince faction are still safe and sound, so whether the emperor will punish the East Palace as the end of this incident, or as the beginning of the sudden change in the court, the officials are still not sure.
It was an important matter, so Yu Shiji did not dare to neglect after hearing the news. He hurriedly explained the matter about the Metropolitan Procuratorate and went straight to Chen Ying's home. Chen Ying, who was pretending to be sick at home, jumped up when he heard the news.
Chen Ying bowed his back, twirled his beard, and wandered around like a mouse with tendrils. Yu Shiji chased after him and said nervously: "Sir, do you think what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd by the emperor? It's better to move the capital.
, regardless of deposing the crown prince, our Metropolitan Procuratorate is the official yamen, so we have to keep silent. However, in this situation, the humble position is really uncertain. My lord, you are the anchor of our Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you don’t come up with an idea, everyone will
We are all a bit at a loss.”
Chen Ying suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "What are you really doing?"
Yu Shiji said: "No action."
Chen Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "All the prince's officials have been jailed. Didn't Huang Zhen use his people to write letters to protect the capital?"
Yu Shiji said: "No, my lord has been sick at home these days. There are a lot of things going on in the Inspectorate. If any humble posts are assigned to him, he takes them without saying a word. He is much more obedient than before."
Chen Ying licked her cheeks a few times, and said with a very strange expression: "I beat the old master to death with random punches! Is it as difficult as... Fang Wang did such an unorganized mess, and it actually happened? I don't understand, I don't understand, just
Even I can’t understand it anymore.”
After thinking for a long time, Chen Ying made fists and palms together and said "Hey": "If the emperor has the heart to be easy to store because of this, then it is really a mistake. I strategized and used all kinds of tricks, but in the end it turned out to be the King of Han who had no rules.
His style of play won all the credit?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shiji said anxiously: "Sir, let's quickly mobilize the imperial envoys and write a letter to impeach the prince for his misconduct and unworthy of the position of the East Palace. Please ask the emperor to establish a crown prince?"
Chen Ying stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "That's not right. The emperor is already in trouble and the dagger hasn't appeared yet, so we can't be so direct. Didn't Xie Jin return to Beijing? Go and impeach Xie Jin immediately. He is cheating on the prince and has evil intentions!"
"
Yu Shiji was startled at first, then understood and said excitedly: "Wonderful! Your Majesty, this stone-throwing strategy kills two birds with one stone. If the emperor does not cure Jie Jin's crime, it means that the emperor has no intention of changing the throne. If the emperor cures Jie Jin's crime, we will
Not only can I get a glimpse of the emperor's thoughts, but I can also add another crime to the prince!"
Chen Ying smiled happily: "Go ahead and find a pawn to find out the situation first! By the way, let the King of Han know what we are doing!"
Yu Shiji understood the idea and bowed: "Yes, I understand. I will do it now!"
Just when he said this, the housekeeper of the Chen family hurried to the door of the house, leaned down and said: "Lao Ge, there is someone coming from the Han Dynasty palace. I would like to invite you to come over and talk to me!"
Chen Ying and Yu Shiji looked at each other and smiled. Chen Ying tossed her long beard and said confidently: "This disease of mine should be cured..."
Guan Guan threw off his long beard and said confidently: "It's time for everyone to vote..."
