The entire Yingtian Mansion had already become a mess. It was a small fight, and of course it was inconspicuous. It could be solved by just sending a leader and a few servants.
But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.
Therefore, Ying Tianfu did not move, but this matter could not be hidden, because both parties involved were not fuel-efficient, and the party that suffered the loss would definitely sue.
Ying Tianfu hurriedly submitted a memorial, and the censor who heard about the memorial also petitioned for impeachment.
The palace began to get busy.
A revolving door of people came to greet them one by one.
When Zhu Di heard the news, he was furious. He first summoned Ying Tianfu Yin to inquire about the cause of the case, and then summoned the censor to see him.
Things generally have some clues.
Yao Guangxiao saw Zhu Di's dark face and knew that His Majesty was very angry.
At this time, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han asked to see him.
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu saw his father, he said aggrievedly: "Father, I have no shame in being a human being."
Zhu Di stared at him and said, "I'm already clear about the matter."
"Please, Father, severely punish the criminals immediately and give justice to the people in Erchen's house. If not... Where can I put my face? These villains actually claim that they are beating the King of Han. Father, Erchen is your son."
Ah, they provoke my sons and ministers like this, but they don’t take my father seriously!"
Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaoxu: "You want me to make the decision for you?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Yes."
Zhu Di said: "The one who beat people is the second murderer in the capital, you know."
"My son, I have heard of it."
"One of the two murderers in the capital is named Zhang Fu. His father died in the battle to save me. Now you want me to punish Zhang Fu because he beat a relative of one of your retainers?"
"this……"
Zhu Di added: "The other one is Zhu Yong...Zhu Yong is not a son of man!"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Yes, my father can no longer tolerate this unscrupulous son."
Zhu Di sat down and said coldly: "Zhu Yong's father has come to see me. He said that he beat Zhu Yong half to death and has been tied up now. Please give me an order right away and order Tiqi to take him."
He asked his son Zhu Yong to be punished, and he also asked me to punish him severely, so that he must serve as a warning to others."
"ah……"
Zhu Di stared at him: "Do you think I should issue this decree?"
After Duke Cheng Guo took things to this point, Zhu Gaoxu certainly knew that if he allowed his father to continue to punish him severely, it would appear that he was ruthless.
"But... but... the man who was beaten said that there were three people at that time. I heard that these two men had the closest relationship with Zhang Anshi. I think... this must have been instigated by Zhang Anshi, and I beg my father to investigate thoroughly...
…The truth will be revealed by then.”
"Shut up!" Zhu Di glared at him with anger: "Who is Zhang Anshi? How can this bastard mix with Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong? But don't forget,
He is your brother's brother-in-law. Do you want me to investigate thoroughly? Let everyone in the world see that the people in the East Palace are fighting with the people in the Han Palace?"
Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused.
He was the one being bullied.
Those who clamored to beat the King of Han... were the perpetrators.
But now...
I saw Zhu Di saying heartbrokenly: "You and the prince are both my flesh and blood. Brothers are not at peace. How heartbroken a father must be. They all say that family scandals should not be publicized, let alone our royal family? You guy... just let some kids fool around.
, you just shout to fight and kill, and you want to make the whole world know that you are shameless, and I still want to be."
Zhu Gaoxu: "..."
After a moment of silence, Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to prostrate himself to the ground and said with sincerity and fear: "My son, I will die."
"Hey..." Zhu Di sighed, as if he was very angry: "Without Zhang Shimei, how could I still live to this day? And Zhu Neng, when Jingnan was in trouble, he had experienced hundreds of battles, and wherever I pointed, he would
Wherever I go, my body is scarred, but I never complain. Not to mention your brother, he is connected by blood with you and was born from the same mother's womb. I can punish those three bad guys.
Punishment is to represent the court and clean up the rules and regulations. But you can't say these words because you are a relative of a retainer, so you come to see me and say these words, but do you still have a conscience? If you say it, it is unkind and unjust!"
Zhu Gaoxu said hurriedly: "I don't dare to say anything anymore."
Zhu Di snorted coldly: "This matter cannot be investigated, and we cannot ask any more questions."
Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Zhu Di clasped his hands behind his back and said angrily: "It's really no good, my sons are careless, and these guys... none of them are good. I don't ask them to be Guo Degan, now I only ask them
Be able to be a human being.”
Zhu Gaoxu took the scolding well and felt unwilling to accept it, so he said: "Father, in fact, there are some loyal and honest among the children. For example, Qiu Song, the son of Duke Qiu Fu, has always been calm."
Duke Qiu Fu of Qi, Zhu Neng, Duke of Cheng, and Zhang Yu who died in the battle were called the three generals of Jingnan, and they were all Zhu Di's confidants.
Among the generals, Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State had the best relationship with King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty. They were close friends of life and death. After Zhu Di succeeded in the Jingnan incident, Qiu Fu once urged Zhu Di to make Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince, but Zhu Di obviously considered that Zhu Gaochi was the legitimate son.
The eldest son still chose Zhu Gaochi.
Even so, the relationship between Qiu Fu and Zhu Gaoxu is still very close. It is for this reason that Zhu Gaoxu specially praised Qiu Fu's son Qiu Song.
"Well..." Zhu Di nodded.
Qiu Song...it's true that he never caused any trouble.
That guy, I heard he's pretty good.
Could it be that this kid is the one who can become Xiao Guo Degan?
…………
Zhang Anshi was not worried about the emperor blaming him at all.
After all, the attackers were the two murderers in the capital, one was the Duke of Chengguo and the other was Zhang Yu’s son. What could the emperor do?
The current emperor has nothing to say about his meritorious officials.
Not to mention other things, for example, in history, his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi and the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu competed for the throne, and the civil servant Jie Jin intervened in the issue of the reserve.
This scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, a talented man who had always been trusted by Zhu Di, was soon considered by Zhu Di to be instigating the relationship between father and son and brother, so he was sentenced to death.
But at the same time, Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State, who was also keen on intervening in the reserve issue, came to Zhu Di every day to nag him.
The results of it?
Although Zhu Di did not accept his opinion and appointed Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince, he was worried that the Duke of Qi's support for the Han Dynasty would be detrimental to the Duke of Qi if the crown prince ascended the throne after his death. He also specifically ordered Duke Qiu Qiu Fu to be the crown prince.
division.
Let Duke Qi be the teacher of Prince Zhu Gaochi. This will eliminate the possibility of the prince taking revenge on Duke Qiu Fu in the future.
Although this teacher is just a title and has no actual status as a master and disciple, with this title, the prince will not risk the disapproval of the world and do anything to Qiu Fu.
For the same thing, civil servants were directly killed, but when it came to treating honorary ministers, Zhu Di was worried about this, for fear that his descendants would not be able to deal with his old brothers.
therefore……
What will happen if I, the second most evil person in the capital, fuck you, the King of Han?
Zhang Anshi has been non-stop these days, visiting Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu. Zhu Yong was beaten badly, but Zhang Fu was in better condition. After his brother Zhang Fu learned about this, although he did not dare to beat him, he was afraid of beating him again.
What happened was that he was forced to kneel all night and his knees could not be straightened.
Facing Zhang Anshi's visit, Zhang Fu expressed that he was very touched, but when he learned that Zhang Anshi was not scolded by the prince, he was shocked.
Zhang Anshi didn't even want to tell him. After his brother-in-law found out about it, although he scolded him, he also scolded Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu.
It's all the fault of these two guys, otherwise the honest Zhang Anshi would not have been involved.
The truth is cruel, it would be better for Zhang Anshi not to tell Zhang Fu.
