Chapter 204, Gift-giving
The website is drawn.,I can't update it.
………………………………
Yan Zhenrui insisted on going his own way, not hesitating to provoke the anger of his father and the sadness of his mother, and finally took Brother Xu back to the palace as he wished. But when he went to the court another day, he fell in front of him like snowflakes.
He didn't dare to say whether his father had anger in it.
It's just that there are many times when he is angry, and Yan Zhenrui disdains to explain. There are all kinds of crimes here, and some of them he admits that it is not his fault alone, and he really has to investigate them thoroughly, whether it is a Beijing official in the capital, or a local military general, even if it is the leader of the border pass, which one is not?
The problems left over the years are not caused by him alone, and he really has to gnaw on the law one by one, let alone fight, just because of the internal friction he has to fight, when the time comes, he only cares about intrigue and fighting, so that he has to fight and fight, how can he still have kung fu to train soldiers?
Yan Zhenrui laughed and pinched one of the folds, and said to Emperor Jing: "When it comes to the emptiness of the treasury, it is all the fault of the ministers, and the ministers here can't afford it, the 100,000 troops, there are 50,000 of the northwest garrison, and the people of the sons are now 10,000, and the rest is still borrowed from the southwest, which adds up to barely enough for 100,000...... There are supplies in all places, and the strength of the northwest is poured into this Tatar expedition, when did the household department allocate military rations to the sons? ”
This is clearly a trumped-up charge, and it is necessary to be more skilled in planting falsehoods.
"But you are collecting food and conscription along the way, this is not a false report, right?"
Yan Zhenrui spread his hands and said: "Erchen is a smart woman, but it is difficult to cook without rice. All the way north, it is also impatient to collect grain along the way. "He can't let his soldiers starve to death, can he? I don't know how much I wrote about asking for help, but the old man of the household only knew how to cry poor, he led people to fight bloody battles in front, and they pointed at him in the back and scolded, really when he was willing to help the Tatars quell the civil strife? Instead of having the idea of "knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy", and having an agreement between his father and the Tatars, why did he bother to do such a thankless thing?
Emperor Jing didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he only said: "Sophistry." He didn't know that this son had always been silent. He is a man of good speech. By his justification, he became innocent.
Emperor Jing didn't reason with him anymore, and directly detained him in the palace, only saying that he wanted him to cooperate with the investigation.
Outsiders don't know the details. I heard that Yan Zhenrui was under house arrest. The reaction was mixed. There are those who came forward to intercede for Yan Zhenrui. also gave him another knife, collected his various crimes in the past few years, and sent them directly to the front of the Imperial Majesty. There are more wait-and-see, silent for a while.
Soon, the crown prince personally led people to raid the banquet palace.
Yan Zhenrui was not there, and the Yanwang Mansion was like an empty nest where a tiger was not at home, not only did he confiscate a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but even forbidden royal items.
The capital was in an uproar: the king who dared to love the banquet had already had the intention of rebellion.
Yan Zhenrui's several lieutenant generals lagged behind, and after knowing that Yan Zhenrui was charged with "rebellion", they raised troops to protect themselves, but were ruthlessly suppressed by the prince and his soldiers, and suffered heavy losses.
Who knows, their behavior proves that Yan Zhenrui has a heart of disobedience.
Brother Xu was brought into the palace and sent to Concubine Cheng.
Cheng Guifei has been unusually silent these days, she doesn't believe that her son will rebel no matter what, but she is a harem woman, and she is soft-spoken, what can she say? is to take care of Xiao Shizi, or ask Emperor Jing for most of the day to agree.
Looking at this frightened little group at this moment, Cheng Guifei's tears couldn't stop falling. Why is this kid so miserable? My mother is missing, my father is under house arrest, how many years can I take care of myself?
The farce lasted until the end of the year, when Yan Zhenrui's case was tried in secret. Human and physical evidence are there, and Yan Zhenrui cannot be allowed to quibble, Emperor Jing issued an order to depose Yan Zhenrui as a commoner and send him to the north of the city for eternal imprisonment.
The prince complained about this. Yan Zhenrui has been in the northwest for so many years, and there are definitely a lot of private forces, on the surface, he has no selfish army, but how did those 10,000 people come from?
The figure of 10,000 is just a coax, and the real number is definitely only a lot more.
He has been in the northwest for many years, and the forces in Beijing are intricately intertwined, but this is the case, when he was under house arrest in the palace, there were Wenchen military generals to exonerate him, which shows that he stretched out his hand very long in private.
Staying by such a big threat is definitely a lot of trouble. Although his father said that he was angry and took his position as the prince, who said that it was not a kind of protection for him?
Maybe in a few years, my father's heart softened and he was released again.
The crown prince hated that Yan Zhenrui would be executed immediately, but when he suggested to Emperor Jing, he had a different face: "The fourth brother is young, and he is instigated by people with bad intentions, so it is inevitable that he will be hot-headed and confused, and he will do something that makes his father sad and angry, but in the end, if he is not dead, it is not bad to let him reflect on it first." But after all, he is the son of his father, the brother of Erchen, not an ordinary cloth people, and he can't be harsh in life, Erchen wants to send the fourth brother and a few beauties in, first, to relieve his boredom, and secondly, to take care of his food and clothing......"
Emperor Jing agreed without much hesitation, and said to the crown prince Yan Zhenjue: "It's good that you can think so, after all, he is also your brother." ”
The prince knew he had made the right bet. He made a brother, friend and brother respectful attitude, and his father only felt more guilty about him, as long as he could ascend the emperor's throne, Yan Zhenrui's life would not be in his hands sooner or later?
Yan Zhenjue really collected more than a dozen Xianyan beauties and personally sent them to Yan Zhenrui's confined mansion.
The northern part of the city is already desolate, except for large areas of farmland, there are scattered villages. The place where he lived was originally the palace where a prince took refuge in the summer, and with a little repair, it was really suitable to confine a Yan Zhenrui.
There are heavy guards of the Imperial Forest Army outside the mansion, even if Yan Zhenrui has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to get out under the nose of the Royal Forest Army.
Yan Zhenrui's complexion is okay, and when he meets Yan Zhenjue, he has no stop deceiving the madness.
Yan Zhenjue said: "The fourth brother is a model of being able to bend and stretch. "In the past, he was the king of banquets, holding the power of life and death of countless people in his hands, but now he is no different from a prisoner, he is not crazy?
Yan Zhenrui said lightly: "If I go crazy now, won't it disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" "Well, the madman is ignorant and unconscious, and he can't feel any kind of humiliation.
Moreover, if Yan Zhenrui is crazy now, Yan Zhenjue will only be more uneasy about him, in the past dynasty, are there still fewer people who pretend to be crazy in the history books to save their lives?
Yan Zhenjue didn't talk nonsense, but said: "This king came to see the fourth brother, and I saw that your life was not bad, so I was relieved, I was afraid that you would be bored for a long time, so I specially sent you a few people to relieve your boredom." ”
With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen freshly dressed beauties stepped forward and saluted Yan Zhenrui
Yan Zhenrui didn't even look at it, and only said to Yan Zhenjue: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a little brotherly affection for me, why don't I send Brother Xu over, I will be grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a lifetime." (To be continued......)
