In the Zichen Palace, Zhu Youjian was walking around with his sleeves rolled up. His restless look made people feel distressed. There was no movement from Zhu Youjian's side for a long time, and Yang Sichang was frightened. He couldn't stay in the original mansion.
The group of angry people would attack the palace sooner or later. There was no other way. In order to protect himself, Yang Sichang changed into the clothes of a servant and quietly slipped out through the back door.
As soon as he left the mansion, Yang Sichang hurried to the palace. The only relatively safe place now was the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, Yang Sichang followed the eunuchs directly to the Zichen Palace. As soon as the door opened, Yang Sichang ran in and knelt on the ground.
He started crying and said, "Your Majesty, you must save me. I am sincerely willing to do things for you. Your Majesty cannot watch me being forced to death by those mobs."
Yang Sichang burst into tears and waved his hands. He must have never been so scared since he was born.
Yang Sichang also had grand dreams in the past. He always followed his father Yang He's example and wanted to build a career. Yang Sichang believed that he was full of talents, so he was arrogant, but reality hit his endless ambition little by little.
His self-confidence finally collapsed and he became an ordinary person with no dignity in order to survive.
This time, he was really scared. He was not a fool. This time, Cheng Jiming and Wen Tiren teamed up to kill him. If Zhu Youjian let it go, he would definitely be dead. Yang Sichang was so miserable,
Zhu Youjian couldn't bear to see it, and quickly bent down to help him, "Yang Aiqing, please get up quickly. I promise you that as long as I am here, no one can do anything to you."
After receiving Zhu Youjian's guarantee, Yang Sichang breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, Zhu Youjian called Wang Cheng'en who was guarding outside, "Wang Banban, please arrange a place for Yang Aiqing to stay, and be sure to ensure Yang Aiqing's safety.
Tell Jin Yiwei that if anything happens to Yang Aiqing, I will ask them."
"Yes, your Majesty, don't worry, I will make arrangements now." He bowed his hands and led Yang Sichang out of the Zichen Palace. Not long after Yang Sichang left, Zhu Ziyan walked in calmly. Zhu Youjian was having a headache.
When she saw Zhu Ziyan, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She quickly stood up and said, "Princess, what's going on over there? The commotion outside is getting more and more outrageous. There are many courtiers who have also taken advantage of it and want me to kill them."
Yang Sichang."
"Don't worry, the Dudu's Mansion has promised to help prevent Song Shilun from entering Beijing, but the Dudu's Mansion doesn't want to get involved in Yang Sichang's matter yet. So, it depends on us whether we can save Yang Sichang." Just after Zhu Ziyan finished speaking, Zhu Youjian
A look of disappointment appeared on his face. With their power alone, it was impossible to defeat the cabinet and Wen Tiren. For a time, Zhu Youjian became much quieter. He was like a deflated ball, sitting on a chair.
Li sighed.
Seeing Zhu Youjian like this, Zhu Ziyan felt angry and couldn't help scolding, "Your Majesty, you must remember that you are my emperor, and your words and deeds may affect many people. If you are afraid
, how can we continue to fight? Even if the opponent is powerful, there is nothing to fear."
Zhu Youjian's face turned pale when he said this, but he had to admit that what Zhu Ziyan said was right.
The undercurrent in the capital has been surging recently, and it has never stopped. At least in the minds of some students, the Governor's Mansion has become Princess Xiangchen's biggest ally. Everyone in the capital knows that Tie Mo, the governor of the five provinces, and Princess Xiangchen
The reason for the festival between them was because of the death of the Iron Governor, because at that time, the princess had always hated the Iron Governor and wanted to retaliate. But who can guarantee that when necessary, the Governor's Mansion will not fight against the Princess?
What about union?
It must be the Dudu's Mansion and Prince Xiang's Mansion. As for His Majesty Zhu Youjian, no one really takes him seriously. You want to say that the Dudu's Mansion cares about His Majesty's opinion? That is simply the biggest joke in the world. Even some ministers don't take His Majesty seriously.
Here, will the Governor's Mansion do it?
Many times, Zhu Ziyan also needs to be quiet. She hates following the crowd. Too many people around her will make her very uncomfortable.
Maybe this is Zhu Ziyan's problem. She has been a bit germaphobic since she was born. She can't see the mess and complexity. Only quietness and refreshing can make her feel comfortable. Walking along the Qinghe River, there is no bustling Bianhe River here, but the Yongding River is eternal.
You can't find the tranquility and tranquility, the cold water flows quietly, and the shore is covered with bare weeping willows.
Qinghe has given birth to the cultural customs of the capital and even the entire Shuntian Prefecture. The two rivers of the capital, the Yongding River is prosperous, and the literary talent is in Qinghe. The Qinghe carries elegance, poetry and songs, and the Imperial College is even more fascinating. I never thought that
However, she will compete with the Taixue students in a battle of wits and strength. Some people are afraid of the Taixue, because these students will be the mainstay of the future and will dominate the voice of the Ming Dynasty for decades to come. But Zhu Ziyan is not afraid, compared to the hateful Tie Mo
, these imperial students are simply pure lambs.
Three thousand years of stories, three thousand years of ups and downs, how long can the ancient Kaifeng City and the long Jingcheng River continue to flow?
In a courtyard, a man in black robe sat quietly in a pavilion, and the cool breeze washed his face, but he remained motionless, as if the cold wind could not blow on him. The man in black robe was unusually quiet, like a bronze bell in a temple,
There was only one pair of eyes, looking coldly at the courtyard. His eyes swept across, but no one looked at him. "How is the situation in the city? How are the people in the court doing?"
"Master, now the cabinet and Wen Tiren have jointly put pressure on Zhu Youjian, and the imperial students have also gone to the palace to cause trouble. The situation seems to be very favorable to Tie Mo. However, Princess Xiangchen sent people to the Governor's Mansion again, fearing that the Governor
The government is going to help Princess Xiangchen again."
Listening to his subordinate's report, the man in black robe snorted coldly and couldn't help scolding, "You are so careless in doing things. Do you think Xiao Ruxue is an idiot? She would get involved in such a thing for a small profit? What if?
My guess is good, Zhu Ziyan is bluffing. However, this move is indeed good, at least Wen Tiren and Zhu Youjian still can't see the beauty of this move. Haha, as soon as the Jurchen left, the situation in the capital suddenly changed, and there was a lot of trouble.
Well, the bigger the fuss, the better it will be for me."
The Maitreya Sect, an organization that has disappeared for too long, and the man in black robe, an elusive person. When Wen Tiren and Zhu Youjian were having a heated argument, they both ignored the Maitreya Sect, which had dominated many major events.
No one knows what kind of organization the Maitreya Cult is, and no one knows who the black-robed man is. Even people within the Maitreya Cult have never seen the true face of the leader, and Pan Longcheng, the only person who knew about it, was sent to the Xiliang Desert.
.In the seemingly peaceful capital, there are countless swords and swords hidden under the tranquility. Wen Tiren puts pressure on Zhu Youjian, and the happiest person is the man in black robe.
Nowadays, many things are no longer secrets. Zhou Tingru is Tie Mo's man, and Yang Sichang is Zhu Youjian's last confidant left in the palace. You touch Yang Sichang, and I touch Zhou Tingru, let's see who is willing to give up. Whether it is the cabinet,
Whether it is the Northern Shanxi Party or Zhu Youjian's purpose, they are very clear about it. If they don't compromise, no one will be able to reap the benefits.
Now, the battle in the court has reached its most tense stage.
He did what he said. Zhu Youjian acted very quickly. The imperial students were still leading the people to put pressure on the court. Here, Zhu Youjian held an emergency meeting. As soon as the meeting started, the civil and military officials were separated.
These people are all anxious and don't know what His Majesty wants to do.
Wang Chengen unfolded an imperial edict and slowly read it out. As for the content of the edict, it was even more surprising.
After reading an edict, it was like a bomb exploding in the palace, knocking everyone out. Zhou Tingru, Cheng Jiming and others were originally a little proud and planned to watch the fun, but who would have thought that the imperial court would discuss it?
It was not Yang Sichang, but one of theirs. Zhou Tingru and Zhou Tingru were naturally panicked when they were named.
The Imperial Guards outside the palace came in in response. Er Li was so frightened that he lay on the ground and begged for mercy. Cheng Ji Ming's scalp exploded. He never expected that Zhu Youjian would do this. This was simply a rogue act. Of course he couldn't
Seeing Zhou Tingru being taken away, he quickly stepped out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say. There is no real evidence for Mr. Zhou's charges, so he was sent to prison first. Isn't it a bit rash?"
"Is it rash? It doesn't count. Since there is a problem, just lock them up first. There is a saying that the pure will become pure by themselves, and the filthy will become turbid by themselves. If there is nothing wrong, I will naturally let them go. Come on, let the two of them be locked up first.
Take him to the prison. While he is in prison, no one is allowed to visit him without my permission." Zhu Youjian's attitude was extremely firm. He waved his hand, and the imperial guards in the palace took the mourning Er Li down.
The palace suddenly became silent, and the ministers of cultural relics shut their mouths tightly, not daring to breathe. Who can stand in the palace hall and be a fool? The charges against Zhou Tingru are all false, and only the last sentence is true.
, In other words, if Your Majesty wants Zhou Tingru to die, then you can find evidence. If you don't want him to die, the evidence will naturally not exist.
Your Majesty is sending a message to the Northern Shanxi Party and Cabinet. Your Majesty just wants to use the current opportunity to further consolidate power. This has nothing to do with who is right or wrong.
After the court meeting ended, Zhu Ziyan came to the south gate of the palace in person as a royal. At this time, more than a hundred imperial students were sitting on the ground. Some of them were holding a piece of paper in their hands and wrote the four characters "Severely punish Yang Sichang".
They were all people watching or cheering for these imperial students. To be honest, the Ming Dynasty was really democratic. The scene in front of me was a bit like the demonstrations of college students in later generations.
It is very easy to drive away these imperial students, just send out the imperial army, but this is by no means the result that Zhu Ziyan wants. She needs to let Yang Sichang live, but not in this way. If she uses troops, she will inevitably be destroyed.
Putting him on the opposite side of the students is not a good thing.
Today, Zhu Ziyan is dressed in a luxurious peony pale white palace dress. She wears a gray cloak over her husband's gown. Her long hair is pulled into a beautiful bun. Her jade face is not painted with powder, and her cold face is somewhat holy. When she came outside the south gate
, the noisy imperial students also became quiet, because no one wanted to make the beautiful princess angry. Even if Yang Sichang was hidden by the emperor, they did not want to implicate the beautiful princess.
Zhu Ziyan looked around, her beautiful eyes exuding an invisible aura. When she raised her hands, the majesty of a royal woman was fully displayed, "If you don't study hard at Taiyuan University, what are you doing here? You must remember clearly that in the imperial court,
This matter has nothing to do with you. You only have to study hard so that you can serve the Ming Dynasty in the future and contribute your strength to the Ming Dynasty."
The cold words came from Zhu Ziyan's mouth, but they were extremely pleasant to the ears of others. Chen Dong frowned, pressed the paper in his hand under his feet, stood up and gave a salute, "Reply to the princess, students and others
I am also angry that Yang Sichang has done too many evil things, so I can't help but come to the palace gate to make noise. In order for the people of our Ming Dynasty to seek justice, I hope the princess will not protect Yang Sichang. Having such a traitor in power is the biggest problem of our Ming Dynasty.
shame."
Chen Dong had been ordered by his superiors to kill Yang Sichang no matter what, so even if the princess personally took action, he could not retreat. Looking at Chen Dong's firm eyes, Zhu Ziyan was neither happy nor angry, and nodded lightly.
He did not answer Chen Dong, but said loudly to all the imperial students present, "I know what you are thinking. That Yang Sichang caused tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty border troops to lose their lives. It can be said that not killing him is not enough to anger the people."
As soon as Zhu Ziyan said these words, it can be said that everyone in the house was shocked. Chen Dong opened his mouth half-open, and his eyes were full of doubts. What did Zhu Ziyan want to do? Didn't she want to protect Yang Sichang? How could she say such a thing?
It was simply unbelievable. Chen Dong reacted like this, and Zhu Ziyan smiled faintly in her heart. Do you still want to stump her with this little trick?
"You can listen carefully to what I have said. This Yang Sichang can be said to have committed heinous crimes. Not only Yang Sichang, but also Liang Shizhong, who is not burdened with several academic cases? According to the law, they should be executed, but you
Have you ever thought about what time it is now? The Jurchens are near the capital. At this moment, as people of the Ming Dynasty, we all have the responsibility to defend the land. Yang Sichang is a sinner and he deserves to die, but why can't he be allowed to perform meritorious service even if he is guarding the country?
He died in the battle in the capital, which can be regarded as a contribution of some strength. But killing him with one knife, wouldn't it be an advantage to him? Do you think His Majesty is solely devoted to protecting Yang Sichang? Your Majesty is fully aware of what Yang Sichang did before, but Your Majesty and you
It’s different. He has to consider the entire Ming Dynasty. If killing Yang Sichang can keep the people of Ming Dynasty safe, so what if he kills him ten times. But how many benefits will killing Yang Sichang bring? Without Yang Sichang, who will lead the troops of the two capitals?
You...he...should let His Majesty do it yourself? So His Majesty recorded Yang Sichang's crime and asked him to lead the troops until he was convicted. Please see." After saying that, Zhu Ziyan raised her right hand, and two eunuchs behind her held a
When the eunuch came closer, the eunuch directly handed the edict into Chen Dong's hands.
Chen Dong was a little panicked. He didn't know what was written in the oracle, but he instinctively felt that this oracle was not good for him. Zhu Ziyan did not allow Chen Dong to think too much, and stretched out her hand to signal, "Chen Dong, I'd like to trouble you to do this for you."
