3. Zhu Shi clan

In order to welcome the new emperor, in order to express their heartfelt intentions, almost all of them are trying to curry favor with Zhu Di. The gilded carved beams, the glittering colored glazed tiles, and all kinds of rare treasures from all over the country and even the surrounding ancillary effects are all arranged in an orderly manner in the brand new palace.

Sanbao was out to track down Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, so Zhu Di asked me to follow him as a little eunuch, but fortunately, these people in the court did not know me, and no one found out.

Zhu Di officially settled in the palace at the invitation of the ministers. Before Zhu Di opened his mouth in person, someone had already seen Zhu Di's intentions and invited Fang Xiaoru over. Everyone expected that Fang Xiaoru had really picked up a big treasure, that is, he tried his best to pry Zhu Yunwen to cut the domain, and now Zhu Di not only does not remember the villain, it seems that he still has to reuse his meaning, and there are people in the court who are happy with Fang Xiaoru's friendship for him, and there are people who are disgusted with him for being pedantic and dull, in short, their personal expressions are different.

On this morning, everyone was waiting for Fang Xiaoru's arrival, but he had always had a good reputation, but he did not arrive on time, and after the ministers were in place, there was a report from the eunuch, "Fang Xiaoru Fang Taishi begged to be seen!" ”

Zhu Di showed an imperceptible smile on his face, and said quietly, "Pass!" ”

After a while, there was a mournful cry outside the gate of the Taihe Palace, the sound was not from a woman, but the wailing voice of a middle-aged man, everyone was confused, who was this?

After waiting for a while, I saw Fang Xiaoru walking in with tears, wearing a cloth shirt and not wearing court clothes, but he was not confused, when the country was ruined and the family was ruined, he quickly aged, his hair was full of green silk turned gray, and he was messily tied on his head, and the stubble on his face was half an inch long, and his face was sad and sad, neither saluting nor speaking.

Zhu Di's face was already showing anger, and he was about to speak, I hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Zhu Di's hand, Zhu Di glanced at me, only then did he suppress his anger, and after taking a deep breath, he turned his head to Fang Xiaoru and said, "Sir, don't be like this, I'm just imitating Zhou Gong's auxiliary government." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di hadn't shown his anger yet, but Fang Xiaoru was annoyed first, and stiffened his neck and asked Zhu Di disdainfully, "Then where is King Cheng?" ”

Zhu Di leaned on the bright yellow gold chair of the carved dragon, frowned and said in a deep voice, "The whole world knows that ** died." ”

Fang Xiaoru asked unrelentingly, "The monarch died by suicide, and there are always heirs." ”

Zhu Di sneered, "The country wants an older monarch, and when the monarch is young, there will be a phenomenon of traitorous ministers making the court. ”

Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Di with contempt, as if looking at a thief who was snatching power, "If it's just for the sake of the young heir, the monarch also has brothers." ”

The ministers stood under the stage, watching the confrontation between the most powerful vassal king and the most rigid prince of the previous dynasty, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, they naturally couldn't see it below, but I could clearly see that the thumb nail of Zhu Di's right hand was deeply pinched on his index finger, as long as he was extremely angry, he would use this way to relieve his emotions, I knew that his balloon had been blown to the extreme by Fang Xiaoru, and if he came again, it would explode, but in front of so many ministers, I didn't dare to persuade him, so I had to stand aside and bow my head to observe the situation.

After a long time, Zhu Di let go of his nails, as if he was a little flattering, put away his anger, and said with a smile to the other party's filial piety, "This is our Zhu family's family affairs, and Mr. is too much in charge." ”

Fang Xiaoru looked up to the sky and smiled, and did not stop for a long time, King Ning of the Valley relied on his status as a vassal king, forgiving Zhu Di would not be angry with him, so he stepped forward and frowned and pulled Fang Xiaoru, and persuaded him with good words, "Sir, above the main hall, don't lose your temper." ”

Fang Xiaoru shook off the pull of the two and reprimanded angrily, "The two princes are both the sons of Taizu, before Taizu died, he entrusted us and others to assist the young master, not only did the two not obey the order, but helped King Yan rebel and usurp the throne!" Disloyal to the country, unfilial to Changlun, and unrighteous to humanity! The person sitting on the dragon chair didn't even care about the righteousness from the beginning of the rebellion, what kind of face did he care, I don't rarely scold him, aren't the two princes shameless? ! ”

"Bang", everyone stumbled, and when Zhu Di looked at it again, he had already smashed an official kiln cloisonne dragon pattern vase beside him in front of Fang Xiaoru, the vase was shattered into pieces, Zhu Di's face also became innocent, and a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth, "Bring a pen and paper." ”

The eunuch trembled and brought a pen and paper and spread it in front of Fang Xiaoru, after King Ning Gu was angrily scolded by Fang Xiaoru, he retreated with a good face, everyone didn't expect Zhu Di to be so tolerant, and they all looked at Fang Xiaoru, thinking that he probably finished scolding, and his anger should be gone, and the edict of enthronement should be drafted. In this way, this pair of monarchs and ministers can be regarded as reconciled.

Sure enough, Fang Xiaoru really fell to the ground, lifted the pen, and before putting down the pen, he looked up at Zhu Di again, his eyes were full of resentment, and there was a trace of disdain. ”

Zhu Di was still staring directly at Fang Xiaoru's every move on the ground, and he didn't look at me sideways, but his head shook slightly, if he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't notice it at all. I know that it is impossible for him to give in today, if he can't get the edict of enthronement after being so insulted by Fang Xiaoru, then his throne will be even more unacceptable, and it will be impossible to convince people.

I looked at Fang Xiaoru, with his unyielding character, it seemed impossible to draft an edict for Zhu Di, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this person was too pedantic, ignorant of current affairs, and forced himself onto the south wall.

Fang Xiaoru looked at all the ministers around him, and finally worked hard to write, and after a while, after writing the edict, he lifted the edict, shook it towards everyone, and said with a laugh, "You people were originally people who were extremely trusted by Taizu, so they entrusted you with a heavy task to assist Emperor Jianwen, but I didn't expect that now one by one has betrayed, followed by the anti-thief, and one by one has become a thief in the chaos!" Our filial piety looks down on you! Although the emperor died **, it was also good! Live up to my years of careful teaching! Didn't you ask me to write it? I wrote! Take this and this to ascend the throne! Let the world laugh at it! ”

Li Jinglong snatched the edict from his hand, his face changed suddenly, Fang Xiaoru shook too fast, Zhu Di and I were on the high platform, and we didn't see it clearly at all, after Li Jinglong saw it, he frowned and said, "Come on, drag this madman out." As he spoke, he wanted to tuck the edict into his cuffs. Zhu Di said angrily, "Are you going crazy with him, bring it!" ”

Li Jinglong said in embarrassment, "It's just a big rebellion written by a madman, the emperor still doesn't want to read it, it's not worth it to move the dragon body of the angry and injured." ”

Zhu Di glared at him, Li Jinglong knew Zhu Di's character, and would never let a nerd be a fool to tease him like this in front of everyone, so he had to take out the edict again, hold it with both hands, and send it to Zhu Di, I hurriedly went down and picked it up, and when I opened it, I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, and there were four angry big characters written on it in wild grass, "Yan thief usurped the throne"!

I haven't figured out how to do it, Zhu Di has already seen it, but his experience for so many years has made his concentration even better than I imagined, he didn't condense his anger on his face anymore, and actually with a smile, the other party Xiaoru said, "Is Mr. going to write this?" ”

"What words are written to whom. For the rebellious ministers and thieves, Fang can only write this. ”

Zhu Di asked softly, "Aren't you afraid that I will punish your nine clans?" ”

Fang Xiaoru sneered, and said righteously, "What if you punish my ten clans?" ”

Zhu Di said with a smile, "If you are addicted to it, then I will fulfill you and punish your ten clans!" When everyone heard this, they all gasped, although Fang Xiaoru said this, he didn't expect Zhu Di to really do this, he sat down on the ground all of a sudden, knocked over the ink that Fang had just forced him to write the edict, and the linen clothes on his body were splashed with ink, I was chilled, looking at Zhu Di's silhouette, my heart throbbed for a while.

Zhu Di said indifferently, "Dali Siqing and the servant of the Criminal Department obey the order, and punish the ten clans of filial piety." Dali Siqing will tell you what the ten clans are. ”

Dali Siqing's face was pale, and he walked to the center of the hall with his strong support, standing in front of Fang Xiaoru, holding the wat board with both hands, hanging his head and reading word by word, "The four clans of the father: the family of oneself, the family of the aunt who married, the family of the sisters who married, the family of the daughter who married, the three families of the mother: the grandfather family, the maternal grandmother family, the aunt family, the wife two clans: the father-in-law family, the mother-in-law family, this is the nine clans, and the punishment of the nine clans is the highest punishment in history, and there is no precedent for the Zhu ten clans...... Therefore, Weichen did not know how the tenth clan was determined. ”

Everyone knew that although Zhu Di was still smiling at this time, he was actually extremely angry, so after Dali Siqing finished speaking, he trembled slightly.

Zhu Di let out an "oh", looked at Fang Xiaoru, touched his forehead, and finally said, "Fang Xiaoru is rich in five cars, peach and plum all over the world, this tenth clan is his protégé and protégé." ”

When they heard this, all their faces stiffened, and their faces were filled with fear, and no one dared to speak any more.

Fang Xiaoru originally listened to the content of the Nine Clans, but he was only sad and angry, and when he heard that Zhu Di didn't even let go of his protégé, he instantly burned up like a cotton ball, got up from the ground, and angrily pointed at Zhu Di and broke his lungs, "Thief!" I can't see that you not only ignore human ethics and force your own nephew**, but also have no humanity at all! Even if I don't let my protégé go, aren't you afraid of being damned! If you die in the future, how can you go to see Taizu and Emperor Xiaokang?! ”

Emperor Xiaokang is the title of Zhu Yunwen posthumously awarded to his father Zhu Biao after he ascended the throne, Zhu Di was completely enraged at this time, and said, "In this way, you are still hard-mouthed and make a lot of nonsense, it seems that I am too conniving and merciful to you, come and cut the corners of Fang Xiaoru's mouth on both sides and tear them to the root of his ears, see if he can say these words again!" ”<
