Chapter 57: The Divine Will Is Unfathomable

Wen Tiren and the others knew that the official messenger was beheaded by the crown prince, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and after the ears and eyes in the palace heard that the emperor woke up, he hurriedly entered the palace to face the king.

After Empress Zhou retired and Emperor Chongzhen sat down, a few people were announced.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the crown prince not only privately transferred the soldiers and horses in the capital, but also killed Chengguo Gong for no reason!"

As soon as a few people came in, Zhang Xin, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, ran in and played.

After Zhang Xin finished speaking, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, walked into the Qianqing Palace unhurriedly, and also listed the various things that the crown prince had transgressed.

Emperor Chongzhen had a headache, this eventful autumn had made him exhausted, and he wanted to deal with the crown prince's affairs in private, but now even the cabinet was alarmed.

Emperor Chongzhen was unbearable, and was just about to issue an order to announce that Zhu Cihong would return to the palace for questioning, when the eunuch on duty outside came in and said that Yang Tinglin, the editor of Hanlin, was asking to see him outside, and there was a major military situation presented.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, and when he was upset, he still sent a decree to allow him to see him.

Chongzhen's impression of Yang Tinglin is not bad, he is very knowledgeable, and he has spoken in depth several banquets.

After Yang Tinglin came in, after saluting Emperor Chongzhen, he saw him with a happy face, and said: "Your Majesty is overjoyed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won a great victory in Shijingshan, and he has led his army out of the city to annihilate a total of 3,000 slaves and thieves, and captured countless people. After speaking, he presented the battle report written by Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong explained the battle in detail in the battle report, and pleaded guilty to Emperor Chongzhen, and privately transferred the Yongwei battalion to leave the station. In the end, he also expressed his analysis and plan, and asked him to continue fighting.

After Emperor Chongzhen read it, he immediately lifted his spirits, swept away the decadence just now, his face was happy, and he couldn't help but say: "Five thousand brave guards and three thousand enemies, the prince is really like a god with soldiers!" ”

Wen Tiren saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the crown prince has meritorious, he privately transferred troops and horses out of the city, and also beheaded the court officials who went to question, this is not a trivial matter." ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him coldly and said, "You are saying that the crown prince beheaded the court officials who went to question, so who sent someone to ask the prince for his guilt?" ”

Wen Tiren felt that something was wrong when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's tone, and then gave Zhang Xin, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, a look.

Seeing this, Zhang Xin could only bite the bullet and say: "It's someone from the minister's faction......"

Emperor Chongzhen patted the dragon case and shouted: "What are you?" Dare to ask the crown prince for the crime, this is my family matter, not your criminal department's business! ”

Zhang Xin was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, and was a little unconvinced, so he said: "The ancients said, the prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people, and the crown prince is a big crime to behead the nobles privately......."

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said, "A big crime? Which dynasty and generation are you the law? This is not the case with my Emperor's law, Yang Tinglin, as a Hanlin editor, you are knowledgeable in ancient and modern times, tell him what the Emperor's law is! ”

Yang Tinglin said loudly: "Emperor Taizu's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", said: All the crown princes, either far away or close to the capital, if there is a small mistake, they will not send someone to ask for the crime, but they will call back to listen to the edict of the monarch's father.

If there is an oral message, or a talisman, or an official document of the court to ask about the sin, it is necessary to take it down from the future, ask the reason, prepare the emperor in advance, and quickly send his cronies to the front of the emperor to listen to the king's proclamation. and shall understand right and wrong, and shall return the reward, and shall be distributed according to hear, and the kings and the king's sons shall be the same. ”

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang still loves his children and grandchildren very much, and he is worried that the prince and grandson will be victimized by traitors, so he left Zu Xun to play like this.

Zhang Xin, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, fell to his knees directly after hearing this, trembling all over, how dare he disobey the ancestral teachings of Emperor Taizu Hongwu.

Chongzhen looked at him coldly and said: "Passing the decree, Zhang Xin, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, does not understand the law, the corpse is vegetarian, and the prince is summoned privately, it is unforgivable, and the brocade guard takes off the black veil, and is sent to the edict prison, never reinstated!" ”

Zhang Xin was already lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, staring at the gold bricks on the ground with empty eyes and despair.

When Wen Tiren heard this, his heart was shocked, he felt that he had stabbed the big basket, and wanted to save Zhang Xin, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xin is at fault, but after all, the crown prince killed Xungui first and lost the law. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was silent, just stared at Wen Tiren for a long time, and saw that Wen Tiren was inexplicable, and at the same time very uncomfortable, so he had to lower his head.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said leisurely: "Wen Qing, I thought you were a capable minister who knew everything, but I didn't expect that you were also a half-ass. ”

When Wen Tiren heard the emperor's words, his heart trembled, and at the same time he was very puzzled, so he said, "What does Your Majesty mean?" I don't know. ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head, looked at Yang Tinglin and said, "Yang Qing tell him!" ”

Yang Tinglin knew what he was going to say when Chongzhen said that Wen Tiren was half-hanging, and he said loudly: "What Emperor Taizu said that the noble emperor who cannot be asked without permission means: the queen's family, the imperial concubine's family, the Donggong concubine's family, the princess's family, the county princess's family, the concubine's family, the Yibin family, the Wei family, the Cao family, the Xinguo family, the Xiping Hou family, the Wuding Hou family, and there is no Chengguo family!" All of the above families were appointed by Emperor Taizu himself. ”

When Wen Tiren heard this, his brain exploded, he finally knew why the emperor said that he was half-witted, and he really didn't know the future.

At the same time, he hated himself for why he didn't read "Huangming Zuxun" from beginning to end, and he planted it twice.

Only now did Wen Tiren truly experience the feeling of accompanying the king like a tiger, and he also underestimated the temperament of Emperor Chongzhen's calf protection.

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "As the head of the cabinet, Elder Wen Ge should take care of the affairs of the imperial court, and don't get involved in the affairs of the royal family. ”

"Yes......" Wen Tiren lost his sacred heart, and suddenly seemed to be a few years older, and saw that Emperor Chongzhen did not condemn him, so he had to bow his head and thank him and retire.

After Wen Tiren left, Chongzhen left Yang Tinglin alone to inquire about Zhu Cihong's situation.

Yang Tinglin said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, he told the ministers that soon the heads of the three thousand slave thieves will be sent to the West City of Jingshi to cast Jingguan, which will boost the prestige of our country and let the people no longer panic about Jiannu!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard this, and said: "The prince's method is very good, and it is accurate!" ”

Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that the crown prince privately beheaded the nobles, and the merits and demerits were offset, and temporarily ordered him to continue to lead the army to fight, but he was not allowed to leave the range of a hundred miles in Beijing.

Hanlin edited Yang Tinglin's excellent performance in front of the emperor, awarded the crown prince as a guest, and was promoted to the right attendant of the criminal department.

Yang Tinglin jumped from the seven-rank Hanlin editor to the right attendant of the criminal department of the third grade, only to feel dizzy, and immediately received the order after waking up for a moment, and at the same time felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

The content of this "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" was often consulted by the crown prince when he studied every day, and he studied it carefully, otherwise how could he remember it so carefully.

It stands to reason that the official position of the seventh product will be criticized, but Emperor Chongzhen handled it very well, and at the same time awarded Yang Tinglin the guest of the prince, who belongs to the minister of the East Palace, and the rank is also the third product.

After Yang Tinglin left, Emperor Chongzhen leaned back against the dragon chair, his expression darkened, and he said in his heart: "Is it my mistake?" If I had allowed the crown prince's request to fight, the eldest brother's Deling might not have suffered this calamity........"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Some people wonder why this book calls "Your Majesty" instead of "Emperor" throughout the book?

Three misunderstandings:

First, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty called themselves slaves, but in fact, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty called themselves slaves or slaves, and the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty were called slaves.

Moreover, the minions are liquidated in Manchu as 'high-end goods', and ordinary people are not qualified to call themselves, only Manchu important ministers can call themselves slaves in front of the Qing Dynasty emperor, and Hanchen can only call himself a minister.

Second, the recital and the recital are regarded as recitals and excerpts, and the recital was only shouted in the Qing Dynasty.

Third, call the emperor the emperor, the emperor is often called by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, before the Ming Dynasty, including the Ming Dynasty, it is usually called His Majesty, Shengshang or Long Live, long live is also a special name after the Song Dynasty, before this was not limited to the emperor, anyway, it is very rare to call the Han emperor the emperor.

It can be seen that costume TV series are now harmful, and any bullshit screenwriter can write a script.......
