Chapter 197: The One-armed Stone Man Out of the Yellow River
It is not surprising that Zhu Jianji has murderous intentions towards Zhu Jianjin.
He has no feelings for Zhu Jianjin.
This person should not have appeared in history in the first place. Of course, this is not important. After all, he is also a half-brother. Zhu Jianji can even tolerate Zhu Jianshen, the king of Yue, so why can't he tolerate Zhu Jianjin.
One reason.
Zhu Jianjin truly threatened Zhu Jianji's position in the East Palace.
Naturally killable!
But we can't kill Zhu Jianjin yet.
There has been no movement in the white carp's stomach!
Once the emperor's grandson is born and he proves that he can give birth to a child, if Zhu Jianjin still poses a threat to the throne of the East Palace Crown Prince at that time, Zhu Jianji will never show mercy.
Half a month later, the Shanxi Provincial Envoy and the imperial envoy for disaster relief compiled a chapter signed by Liu Ji and sent it to Gyeongsang Province.
Judging from the date, Liu Ji should have submitted the letter immediately after arriving at Pingyang Mansion.
Chen talked about the disaster in Shanxi.
And by the way, he hacked Lu Yuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
It is said that Lu Yuan did not do enough to provide disaster relief.
After arriving in Shanxi, he took him to Taiyuan Prefecture to fish and meat local officials as an imperial envoy.
Some officials in the court immediately petitioned for someone to replace Lu Yuan, and recommended Song Qiwei, the young minister of Taichang Temple, to go to Shanxi as an imperial mission to provide disaster relief. Zhu Qiyu refused without even thinking about it.
Don't let the courtiers beat around the bush at all.
Immediately issued an order to have the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Tongzhi Zhuangbei, lead the Jinyi Guard Tiqi of the Zhonghou Institute to Shanxi to supervise disaster relief.
With this imperial edict, the situation in the court became delicate.
Some neutral civil and military officials immediately fell silent.
Officials who had long understood their position began to impeach Prince Zhu Jianji more and more frequently.
Late spring of the seventeenth year of Jingtai.
The Qin Heavenly Supervisor suddenly reported that the slightest movement would cause a collision with Ziwei, and the sky would be in chaos, which would cause disasters to the country, turmoil in the mountains and rivers, and unrest in the country.
This chapter of Qin Tian Jian immediately caused huge waves in the government and the public.
Too slight.
The prince also.
Lagerstroemia.
Son of Heaven.
If Taiwei shifts and collides with Ziwei, it means that the prince has the intention of treason.
Of course, everyone knows that His Majesty has long had the idea of taking a Zen position.
As for whether it still exists now, no one knows.
After all, His Majesty is now showing signs of changing his reserves.
Therefore, Qin Tianjian very cleverly said that if the position is too small, it will cause disasters to the country and affect the Ming Dynasty.
This is very serious.
The ministers of the government and the opposition brought up old matters again and brought out all the faults of Zhu Jianji. Overnight, the cabinet was almost filled with articles impeaching Zhu Jianji, and they were delivered to the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Qiyu stayed in the middle without making a move.
However……
What a coincidence, on the second day, the 800-mile expedited stamp from Shanxi Chengxuan Envoy Department arrived!
It is said that after the Yellow River under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture continued to dry up, the victims found a one-armed stone man covered with withered grass on the bed of the Yellow River. The following words were engraved on the back of the one-armed stone man: Seventeen years, natural disasters occurred, Taiwei moved, Ziwei darkened
, the sun and the moon died, and the Emperor of Fujian was born.
On the palm of the remaining right hand of the one-armed stone man, there is a word "Min"!
Interesting.
This one-armed stone man is different from the one-eyed stone man in history. The one-armed stone man is a metaphor for the Ming Dynasty and is the emperor Zhu Qiyu. The left and right arms refer to the prince Zhu Jianji and the blessed king Zhu Jianjin.
But the left arm representing the prince is missing!
Only King Fu is left.
It is to tell the people of the world in a subtle way that the Ming Dynasty needs to cut off its arm, and His Majesty needs to replace it.
And it was in the 17th year of Jingtai!
Most people in this era are superstitious. The one-armed stone man almost told the people of Shanxi plainly that your drought was caused by His Highness the Crown Prince's "immorality".
Of course, people don’t care whether they are truly immoral or not.
They just want someone to pay for the disaster.
However, the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court have yet to take action, and the Shanxi Chengxuan Administrative Envoy Division has only been relied upon to provide relief, which has not been able to do anything. Although there have been no large-scale starvation deaths yet, if this continues, everyone will die sooner or later.
what to do?
It will definitely be the opposite!
This seal of the Shanxi Chengxuan Envoy Department completely set Fengtian Palace on fire.
At the great court meeting, Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, came out and loudly said: "Your Majesty, the stone man dropped from the sky is not a sign of auspiciousness, but actually a hint of God's will. I also ask your Majesty to make a quick decree to calm the hearts of the people of Shanxi."
In contrast to Shanxi, those people in Sichuan will never show off.
It will be followed by the opposite.
Then……
Once Shanxi is in chaos, the Maoli children in Mobei will definitely take the opportunity to invade the border. If they are not careful at that time, the Ming Dynasty will be worried, and it may lead to a catastrophic chaos.
Shanxi is too close to Gyeonggi.
Once Shanxi rebels, the Gyeonggi side must send heavy troops to exterminate it, and then the troops in Zhenbei will not be supported. If the Zhenbei side is lost and the grassland cavalry moves south, the Gyeonggi region will be in a situation of being attacked from both sides.
So the situation is indeed serious.
Jiang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said, "I second the proposal!"
Officials from various departments in the civil service group came out one after another to second the proposal.
That's strange.
The three giants of the Ministry of War, Shangshu Liu Jue, ministers He Jian and Tang Sheng, remained silent. The governor Tang Xing even stood up and said loudly: "This is someone who instigated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Fu to commit fratricide. I am willing to be handsome."
The army goes to Shanxi to put down these rebellious officials and traitors!"
Wang Wen, the Minister of Punishment, came out and said, "I object!"
No reason was given.
Yu Qian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, came out and said, "What I have seen is that Taiwei entered the Qinggong, first pacified Shiheng, then controlled Fangying, and settled in Fujian. During this period, Baigui governed Huguang, and there was no more Miao chaos. Even if Taiwei moved, what would happen?
It is a disaster for the country, how can we believe such baseless lies to deceive the public!"
Officials from Zhanshifu in the East Palace who served in the court came out one after another, such as Li Shuang, a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhao Chunjiao, a foreign minister in the Ministry of Rites, Peng Shi, a minister in the cabinet, Zhu Zhang, a foreign minister in the Ministry of Personnel, and Xue Hui, a doctor in the Ministry of War.
The princeling shouted loudly: "I second the proposal to Wang Shangshu and Yu Shangshu!"
Exchange savings?
Then don’t we, the former East Palace subordinate officials, all have to be liquidated?
You must fight for your career.
At this time, the chief assistants of the cabinet, Chen Xun, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Shang Ren, the Minister of Taichang Temple, did not say anything. Xiao Weizhen and Li Shi, the censors on the left and right of the Imperial Procuratorate, and only Li Shi came out to support Yao Kui, Jiang Yuan and others.
politics.
Xiao Weizhen said nothing.
But no one noticed Chen Xun, Shang Ren and Xiao Weizhen anymore.
Because there are too many people who support the exchange of savings!
The group of civil servants standing in the court hall, except for the three silent ones, as well as Wang Wen, Yu Qian and the Prince's East Palace officials, as well as some neutral officials, the rest of the civil servants have all come out to support Yao Kui and Jiang Yuan.
It is clear at a glance who the general trend is.
Opposing voices are not that important.
Everyone is waiting for Zhu Qiyu's ruling.
How to rule?
Of course it’s a savings exchange!
However, everyone knows very well that the exchange of reserves is related to the country's future. How can it be decided in such a short period of time? You have to give Zhu Qiyu time to consider it.
But today everyone needs Zhu Qiyu to express his stance.
The prince didn't come today——
Um.
Because there was a estrangement between the two fathers and sons, and the crown prince was obsessed with the crown prince Bai Li's belly every day after his wedding. Since the 16th year of Jingtai, His Royal Highness has basically not come to Fengtian Palace to assist the country.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the prince's seat, was silent for a while, and asked: "Have any victims of the disaster in Shanxi rebelled?"
This is important.
If no one rebels, it's just a rumor.
If someone rebels, the prophecy of the one-armed stone man will be fulfilled.
