Chapter two hundred and seventy-fifth: the decree arrives
Eight hundred miles in a hurry, and a decree rushed towards Guangxi quickly.
In fact, the decree has not yet been released, and the ending is already destined. Some well-informed people can roughly guess a little bit of the holy intention. A few days ago, the emperor was still having a headache about the vassal kings, but now the matter has come to light, and the Jingjiang Palace has surpassed it.
With the ancestral system, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, so there is no need to be afraid of offending the vassal kings. It can be done whatever you need.
Some people speculate that the emperor should not kill the King of Jingjiang, and the possibility of deposing all the people as commoners should not be high. After all, the palace still has to show a little family affection, which is mostly a fierce attack, but how to attack is another mystery.
.[]
At the end of April, the decree arrived in Guilin. In the Governor's yamen, King Jingjiang and his nephews joined forces with the Governor of Guangxi Chen Jian to receive the decree. King Jingjiang had been in Guangxi for a long time, so naturally he could not match the King Ning in the capital.
So he still doesn't know what happened in the capital, let alone Chen Jian sold him a long time ago, and he is still counting money for others.
Before receiving the order, King Jingjiang said a few words to Chen Jian enthusiastically. Chen Jian also comforted him, which made King Jingjiang feel a little lucky, but when he actually received the order, he was like a bolt from the blue.
The son made him dizzy and speechless.
The prince was demoted to a prince and moved to the vassal state of three counties. Zhu Yueqi's fief was in Jingjiang Prefecture, which was originally called Jingjiang King, but later this title was changed from Jingjiang to Jingjiang, which means to ping the southwest. The entire Jingjiang Prefecture has a household registration of only 40,000 yuan, and is under the jurisdiction.
It was only five counties, three counties were moved, and only two counties were left, with a household registration of only 20,000. The Jingjiang Palace seemed to be in a dilemma among the vassal kings. If you toss like this, you will be even more embarrassed.
The prince may seem out of reach to others, but for a prince like Zhu Yueqi suddenly fell from the clouds. This fall was very heavy for him, and he couldn't help but he could not relieve himself. What's more, the prince who was once deposed in all dynasties
It is often a waste of time, because the last little affection for you in this palace has become weak. Will you take care of you in the future?
Zhu Yueqi's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
What shocked Zhu Yueqi the most was the conviction of the eldest son and Zhu Shan. Zhu Yuelin had few descendants. This eldest son was his favorite and he was too fond of him, so he was inevitably arrogant. However, this family of vassal kings did not have such a family.
A few arrogant sons and nephews? What's the point of killing a few people in the street? But the current court is in a formal manner. First, they deposed as common people, and they also had to catch them in the capital. Once they arrived in the capital, life and death were uncertain. What's going on?
Very good?
This imperial decree could not have given him any affection. Zhu Yueqi had made the worst plan, but he never expected it to be like this. He suddenly felt a little dizzy! Kneeling on the ground,
It seems that even breathing is about to stop.
The eunuch then said: "Guangxi Governor Chen Jian..."
Chen Jian, who was watching the show, had a sudden change in his face...
The emperor actually praised him hard at the end of the imperial edict, but this prize was meaningless.
The meaning of the imperial edict is that Chen Jian’s merits in reporting should be commended to demonstrate his merits.
Originally, Chen Jian stabbed King Jingjiang in the back, but King Jingjiang was still in the dark, but now this praise tells everyone directly that the disposal of King Jingjiang was because of Chen Jian's report and exposure. Although Zhu Yueqi is now losing power, he is still a
The prince, and Chen Jian, as the governor of Guangxi, made it difficult for him to be a human being?
Sure enough, when Zhu Yueqi heard the words behind the imperial edict, his face changed again. His angry eyes glared at Chen Yan and sneered.
If Zhu Yueqi hates Liu Chengfeng, it is just because the two of them are in a hostile position and because of conflicts of interest. In Zhu Yueqi's view, Chen Jian is even more abominable.
When Chen Jian saw Zhu Yueqi throwing an angry look at him, he immediately understood.
Gao Ming, the emperor's move is indeed brilliant!
The mistake of this matter is that Chen Yan shouldn't have added a sentence after the memorial, the government dared not ask. These five words must have made the palace feel fearful, or in other words, the emperor was very angry with the King of Jingjiang.
But no matter how angry it is, even if King Jingjiang made a big mistake and the evidence is conclusive, the palace should at least show a little warmth. The knocking will naturally have to be beaten, and the cleaning will be done, but not too much, so we have to do the same thing.
, to make the emperor's kindness to the vassal kings.
Therefore, although King Jingjiang broke the law, he did not directly depose him as a commoner. He only lowered his title and removed part of his fiefdom. Such a disposal in the palace was definitely considered generous to outsiders, and it was enough to show that His Majesty was concerned about it.
The friendship between the royal family left the vassal kings speechless.
But the emperor still felt that it was not enough, or he was afraid of King Jingjiang. What should I do? Then continue to deal with him, but if I have to deal with him, the palace cannot come forward, so this imperial edict was obtained, and the imperial edict was
This sentence.
To put it bluntly, it is to provoke discord and make Chen Jian and King Jingjiang irreconcilable. King Jingjiang will certainly find an opportunity to retaliate, but is Chen Jian a good-efficient lamp? If he doesn't take advantage of his ease, he can't help but breathe.
He suppressed his kung fu. When King Jingjiang gradually regained his foothold, Zhu Yueqi would sooner or later find an opportunity to deal with him Chen Jian.
Only by taking the initiative first and suppressing King Jingjiang to the death can one succeed. Only in this way can the King Jingjiang never turn over.
The emperor's meaning is very simple, which is to check and balance. Chen Jian naturally had the court to check and balance. The court had the Dongchang and Jinyiwei to check and balance, but the King of Jingjiang gave Chen Jian to check and balance. What Chen Jian did? That's his business, and the palace.
It has nothing to do with it. King Jingjiang suffered, and that was not the ruthless family of heaven.
A brief word in the imperial edict was enough to change the entire Guangxi situation. Chen Jian couldn't help but narrow his eyes. The emperor had already figured out what he wanted to do now, which was how to offend King Jingjiang to death.
Those who offend have also offended them, and they are not even thinking about being good people.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Yuelin, the King of Jingjiang, stood up and glared at Chen Jian fiercely, and was about to leave. When things got to this point, he was both afraid and angry. He didn't want to stay for a moment.
But when he was about to leave, Chen Jian stopped him with a sarcastic smile.
"The prince stays..."
Zhu Yueqi stopped and said bluntly: "I wonder what the governor has to give?" Zhu Yueqi deliberately called Chen Jian's official position, and his tone was also sarcastic, full of alienation and irony.
Chen Jian smiled and said, "Since the emperor issued an order to surrender the prince to the prince, there are still many details in the imperial edict, such as the specifications of the royal palace, the number of guards, and the utensils that the prince enjoys,
I'm afraid I have to change it. The rules are always abide by. I am not talented and I am the right deputy governor of Guangxi. Of course, I should urge you. Wang Nian should not blame you."
Zhu Yueqi's face suddenly changed. The rules of the Ming Dynasty were indeed very strict. When Emperor Hongwu was there, he set strict hierarchy standards, what specifications should the prince live in, what kind of utensils should use, and even what kind of clothes should he wear.
, how many guards are enjoyed, these are all clearly stated, and the prince is one level lower than the prince, which means that everything in the entire Jingjiang Palace has to be replaced. Not only does the palace have to be renovated, but it has to be even removed.
Many houses, even clothes, utensils, and even servants, have to undergo major changes in blood.
However, rules are rules after all. After all, there are not many people who follow the rules in Hongwu years now. For example, when Hongwu was there, merchants were not allowed to use silk, but which merchant is not covered with silk now? But Zhu Yueqi didn't expect that he had just lowered the grade.
As the prince, Chen Jian actually came to trouble him by the rules of Emperor Hongwu.
"Putting the wrongs... villain!" Zhu Yueqi couldn't help but curse, Chen Jian's proposal was enough to make the Jingjiang Palace worse. It was already too late to make ends meet. If he could change the palace and utensils again according to his words, how much money would it cost to change the palace and utensils again?
?Where can I get the royal palace?
Chen Jian's face turned cold. He was originally sarcastic, but now he sneered and said, "What are you saying, Prince? I am just doing it for business!"
Zhu Yueqi's face changed and he left with his sleeves.
Back to the palace, the entire palace was already in a mess. People from the Qianhu House of Guilin Jinyiwei went in to get people. Seeing his eldest son being taken away in front of him, Zhu Yueqi was so angry that his face was as if he was a pig's liver, clenched his fists.
Silently, no one knew what happened in the palace. Some servants even started to leave when they packed up their rituals. Seeing that Zhu Diqi finally came back, they calmed down. Many people came over to tell the story in tears.
Zhu Yueqi said angrily: "Come, go and call Mr. Zhao."
Since that time he bumped into the palace villa, Mr. Zhao was also injured. He did not dare to stay in Lianzhou for too long, so he hurried back to Guilin to recover from his injuries in the palace. Originally, Zhu Yueqi was quite angry with Mr. Zhao about this matter, but now he
Only then did I realize that there was not even a person who made a decision. Naturally, Zhu Yueqi thought of Mr. Zhao again. At this time, Zhu Yueqi's mind was completely confused. He had to listen to what Mr. Zhao said first before he could decide the next step.
action.
Mr. Zhao came quickly, but he was no longer as free and easy as before, and seemed a little haggard. He entered the hall of the palace and hurriedly saluted Zhu Yueqi and said, "Prince, what do you mean by the imperial edict?"
Although he saw the captain coming in to arrest the prince in the palace, when he saw Zhu Yueqi coming back safely, Mr. Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least things were not at the worst. If even King Jingjiang would take him to the capital to question him,
