Chapter 45: The Incomprehensible Coup d'état (Ask for Recommendation)
Zhu Di made an exception to meet Concubine Quanxian's brother in the "Sui'an Room" of Fengtian Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since the ninth year of Yongle, when Quan Yongjun, the father of Concubine Quan Xian, came to visit the emperor in the palace, this was the second time that Zhu Di met with Concubine Quan Xian's family.
Zhu Di, who should have been calm, maybe because he failed to bury Concubine Xian this time, or maybe he drank a few more cups during the banquet in the palace today, he held Quan Shuidao's hand, tears flowed endlessly, and his expression almost collapsed, which made the servant who was serving on the side feel worried.
After sending away Concubine Quan Xian's brother, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di suddenly fell ill.
Emperor Yongle was ferocious this time. After a few days, he had always been in good health, but he couldn't get out of bed, and suddenly there was a terrible prophecy in the palace, and the emperor was worried about it, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it.
The source of this theory is that the Qintian supervisor Wang Caicheng, who claimed to be watching the stars at night and found that the emperor star had fallen, and the new monarch would be established.
In fact, Wang Shecheng, the great eunuch Yang Qing and Yang Qing's adopted son, Wang Yu, the "General Banner of the Capital Guard", are plotting a real palace coup.
They were inspired by the vigorous "Yulu Change" three years ago, and planned to have Yang Qing, the chamberlain, poison the decoction of Emperor Yongle, and then his adopted son Wang Yu to make a false edict, and as soon as the emperor breathed, he took out a holy decree and announced that the crown prince would be abolished and the king of Zhao would be established.
The general leader of this rebellion plan was Meng Xian, the "commander of the capital guards", who was the confidant of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, and had thousands of personal soldiers under his command.
Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, had reduced his ambition in the past few years, and originally planned to spend the rest of his life in peace, but he was left in the capital by Zhu Di, perhaps because he couldn't withstand the temptation of the high throne in the imperial city, coupled with Zhu Di's dying and imminent death, the third son thought that there was a godsend and was about to be added to the yellow robe, so his blood was boiling.
At the end of May, Zhu Di's illness was so serious that the medicine stone was ineffective. Yang Qing thought that at this time, poisoning Zhu Di was the most unknowing, so he urgently summoned Wang Yu and ordered him to write the holy decree quickly.
This Wang Yu was scared in his heart, and he was really excited to think about it.
However, the matter of "seizing the throne" is not something he can do if he wants to.
Because after all, he was a general flag official in the army, and drafting the edict required a high level of writing and writing ability, and it had to be written in the tone of the emperor.
This requires the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy, who have worked by the emperor's side for a long time, to have this condition.
This Wang Yu thought about it again, with it, didn't his own sons and daughters, Gao Yizheng, serve as editors in the Hanlin Academy?
Immediately, I was very excited to summon my in-laws and tell me the plan and plan.
Gao Yizheng was also very excited, and immediately gave advice to Wang Yu and jointly drafted the edict.
On the first day of the sixth month, Emperor Yongle suddenly collapsed on the bed after drinking Yang Qing's poison, Yang Qing was about to reach out to probe his nose, Emperor Yongle jumped up from the dragon bed and took Yang Qing down, the poor guards commanded Meng Xian's thousands of soldiers and horses have not yet been dispatched, and the "edict" that Wang Yu and his in-laws have worked hard to study has not been able to come out, and has been captured by an unknown master who is ambushed on the roof.
Then these masters surrounded the fat prince Zhu Gaochi, and suddenly appeared in the bedroom of Emperor Yongle.
Everyone was stolen, and Zhu Di was furious.
Urgently summoned Zhu Gaosui and asked, "Is this what you did?" ”
Zhu Gaosui was so frightened that he was speechless.
Zhu Di trembled with anger, took Zhu Gaosui down, and said angrily: "I kindly left you for the Dragon Boat Festival, but you are a wolf with ambitions, such an unfilial son, and you will be decided." Zhao Wangfu's family was demoted to concubines, and all of them were assigned to the army. ”
"Father, slow down."
The crown prince was dressed properly, and hurriedly knelt down and asked for his life: "Father and the emperor are angry, Meng Xian is the mastermind in this case, and his crime should be punished. The rest were either coerced by him, or deceived by him, and were not punished for their crimes. As for the third brother, he is even more innocent, this is the work of his subordinates, how does he know? Although there is a crime of ineffective discipline, it cannot be punished severely. ”
"When the queen is alive, she always says that the prince is benevolent and filial, and today I believe it. Gao Sui seized the throne in a vain attempt to abolish you, the prince, and you are still interceding for him. ”
After Emperor Yongle finished speaking, he turned to Zhu Gaosui, the third son of the emperor, and said, "Third brother, remember that in the seventh year of Yongle, you should be demoted to a concubine, fortunately, your eldest brother helped you intercede, and now, you have made a big mistake again, and your eldest brother still spares no effort to protect you." ”
Zhu Di raised his voice, and suddenly said as if announcing to the surroundings: "Zhu Gaosui, you should be glad that you have a good brother, and the people of the world should also be glad that you have a benevolent and righteous monarch." Well, Prince, I will fulfill your name of benevolence and filial piety. Intent-"
Zhu Di immediately announced that he would command Meng Xian with the guards, and Yang Qing, the inner servant, would make a decision, reduce the two guards of Zhu Gaosui, and immediately return to the fiefdom, and he would not be allowed to enter Beijing unless he was called; Wang Yu, the general banner, was demoted to Liaohaiwei Qianhu, and his sons and daughters' in-laws, the Hanlin Academy, were edited and repaired to the top of the school, and instead of being lowered, they were promoted to the five grades of the Hanlin Academy.
At this point, everyone knows that the reason why this coup d'état can be smashed into the invisible is because the inner ghost Gao Yizheng told the prince in time, and then the prince and his father Zhu Di joined forces for the first time and fought the most beautiful battle in their lives.
The name of the prince's benevolence and filial piety has also spread all over the world, and Zhu Di has also affirmed the prince's position as the prince for the first time in his life in front of everyone.
It can be said that thanks to the attempted coup d'état of the third child Zhu Gaosui, the prince became famous in the first battle, and since then Zhu Gaochi's position as the prince has been consolidated.
This coup d'état looks obvious, but Wu Erhong can't figure out some questions.
With Zhu Di's ruthless character, not to mention those who dare to murder themselves, even those who insult the emperor behind his back, he will definitely be killed.
Although Zhu Gaosui said that the coup attempt this time was successful, and he was his own son, after all, he killed the monarch and his father, and seized the throne, and the evidence was there, just cutting off Zhu Gaosui's two guards, and the punishment was unimaginable;
The emperor was so hesitant about the position of the prince before, thinking that the crown prince's ability was limited and he was not worthy of the big responsibility, and even thought about choosing an heir between the king of Han and the emperor's grandson, how could he openly announce to the world in the blink of an eye that the position of the crown prince had been decided?
Is it really because the prince was moved by the "benevolence and filial piety" of interceding for his younger brother twice?
You must know that the card of the prince benevolence and filial piety has been broken, at the beginning of his ascension, Zhu Gaochi was famous for benevolence and filial piety, but obviously Zhu Di did not eat this set, but thought that the king of a country should be killed and decided, not too benevolent and weak, otherwise he would not be able to defend the Ming Dynasty.
Why Zhu Di changed so quickly and was so determined made Wu Erhong puzzled.
Wu Erhong secretly told these questions like Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture, seeing that Wu Erhong was really puzzled, he couldn't help but say to her: "I'm afraid that my father is sweating profusely now, and he is more panicked than Uncle Sanhuang!" ”
