Chapter 1178: Chaos in the Imperial Court Resumes

Ying Tianfu, Fengtian Temple.
King Jing Zhu Cixuan and several princes of the clan showed off their might in the court.
Zhu Cixuan proudly said to Zhu Yujiao on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, I have never heard that the prince wants to pay for the lives of his courtiers, and he didn't really kill Qian Sule, and the ancestral family law only restricts the prince from rebelling...... This king has no intention of rebellion, so His Majesty can depose and degrade the princely throne of the minister, but he must not cause harm, let alone hand over this king to the king of Wu and let him fall. ”
Because the human and physical evidence are all there, there is no doubt about it, so Zhu Cixuan does not deny that he sent people to intercept and kill Qian Sule halfway.
But Zhu Cixuan refused to go to Hangzhou Mansion and handed it over to Wu Zheng.
That is to say, the crime can be recognized, and the punishment must be according to the ancestral family law, the ancestral family law of the Ming Dynasty, there is really no precedent for the prince to resist the life of the subjects, even if he is a minister of the court, he will be killed if he kills it, and he will be removed from the lord and abolished as a commoner, which is already the most severe punishment.
But as long as it is not a conspiracy, after 358 years, this will be re-canonized.
For example, when the emperor gets married and the prince is born, whenever the whole country celebrates, it is the time to regain the throne.
Those who have a good personal relationship with the emperor are directly the prince, and those who have a worse relationship will make a transition from the county king.
But everyone understands that if Zhu Cixuan goes to Hangzhou Mansion, then he has to follow the law, because Wu Zheng's surname is Wu, not Zhu, he will not read the blood relationship and open the net to Zhu Cixuan.
Zhu Yujiao is really embarrassed.
She has the heart of the Zhongxing Ming family, and she has also had experience in the past few years, but after all, she is a daughter, and the woman is the emperor, which has been criticized.
Although the Yixing Dynasty has reached about 200,000 troops after the newly established Second Guard of the capital, these troops are not really under Zhu Yujiao's orders.
Zhu Yujiao only has 3,000 brocade guards adapted from "Night Owl" in her hands.
It's good not to fall out with the clan, but once you fall out, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and few people really support Zhu Yujiao.
In fact, more people want to support Wu Zheng, because Wu Zheng has the strength to share benefits with them, if it is not that Wu Zheng is too different, wants to subvert the social class, and does the thing of "robbing the rich and helping the poor", as early as three years ago, Chen Zilong advocated supporting Wu Zheng in the court, of course, Wu Zheng also had an identity at that time, it was rumored that he was a descendant of Jianwen, and there was no rebellion in legal theory, because in the Wanli Dynasty, the name of Jianwen was re-recognized by the imperial court, and when it came to the Hongguang Dynasty, the temple number of Zhu Yunwen was Huizong.
Therefore, Zhu Yujiao's current predicament is not even as good as Zhu Cihong's time, because Zhu Cihong was in the right position and ascended to the throne after gaining the unanimous support of the courtiers, including Wu Zheng.
Zhu Cihong's resignation was not because he was forced to retire, in fact, at that time, it was Zhu Cihong who caused large-scale civil unrest in Yingtianfu and the surrounding areas because of the money bank fraud case, and it was difficult to control the situation, so Zhu Cihong was temporarily imprisoned.
The emperor is still here, and the power to supervise the country is not great.
Zhu Cihong just wanted to avoid the limelight temporarily, but then suddenly the forbidden army intercepted and killed Wu Zheng, and Zhu Cihong wanted to make a mistake and eradicate the future troubles in one fell swoop, which triggered a fierce reaction from the forces under Wu Zheng.
At this time, Zheng San suddenly made a move and kidnapped Zhu Cihong.
This triggered a palace change, Zhu Yujiao was tortured and killed because of Zheng San, and in order to protect herself, outside the Fengtian Palace, she did not refuse the support of the night owl in the palace, and sat on the throne in front of the cabinet ministers and ministers.
The ministers and ministers of the cabinet were afraid that Zhu Cihong would retaliate after he returned to power, and settle the accounts.
Therefore, Zhu Yujiao's ascendancy is not sincerely supported by the civil and military, but as a last resort.
Moreover, there have been two theories about the cause of Zhu Cihong's death, one is that Wu Zheng forced him to die, and this theory is more popular. Another theory is that Zhu [Xin] died of Zhu Cihong, because the biggest beneficiary of Zhu Cihong's death was not Wu Zheng, but Zhu Yuanjiao.
Once Zhu Yujiao loses the support of the clan, the two points of being in the wrong position and being a chicken Sichen are enough to make her another deposed son of heaven.
There is never a shortage of men in the Ming Dynasty, and there are nearly a million clans in the late Ming Dynasty, and there are not a lot of men?
Just like right now, the Daxi, Daqi People's Army, and the Qing Army have been slaughtered a few times back and forth, and there are still more men surnamed Zhu.
Jing King Zhu Cixuan, isn't it too?
Ma Shiying was ordered by Wu Zheng to send the impeachment note, as well as a copy of the evidence and the assassin's confession, to Ying Tianfu.
Zhu Yujiao once thought about handing over Zhu Cixuan.
But before this will left the palace, there was chaos outside the imperial city.
Hundreds of clansmen, with their families, guards, and servants, gathered outside the Hongwu Gate.
Who would dare to stop it?
Du Yushi Wang Yi wanted to stop him, but Zhu Cixuan spat on his face in full view.
Can Wang Yi transfer the soldiers and horses of Jingzhao Mansion to arrest people?
Naturally, it can't.
Because disposing of the prince is definitely not within Wang Yi's purview.
Even today's son Zhu Yujiao can't, because these people, which of them are her elders, should be Zhu Yujiao's father is young, just like Zhu Yihai, he is Chongzhen's uncle.
These clans can only be disposed of by Zong Zhengqing.
Who is Zong Zhengqing, King Jing Zhu Cixuan is both.
Why both?
According to the Ming law, Zong Zhengqing is the oldest and most prestigious male of the royal family.
But the problem is that since Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, in order to rein in the monarchy that had been dispersed by the previous Wu Zheng, not only put the cabinet aside, but also made the position of Zong Zhengqing vacant.
Because although Zong Zhengqing is not involved in ordinary government affairs, his power is quite large.
For example, he has a great say in the marriage of the emperor, the canonization of the crown prince, and even the support and deposition of the emperor.
Zhu Cihong naturally couldn't let it tie its hands.
After Zhu Yujiao ascends the throne, it will be even more interesting to ask for trouble, the clan has already criticized her position, once Zong Zhengqing is set up, okay, maybe when, there will be another palace change.
But Zhu Cixuan Niu Cha, although he was not officially appointed, but after being "raided" by Wu Zheng, he gathered his clan relatives and proclaimed himself Zong Zhengqing on the spot.
These clans have endured Wu Zheng's hardships, and of course they also hope to nominate someone to come out and compete with Wu Zheng, so they hit it off.
In this way, Zhu Cixuan became their leader.
As soon as these people made trouble, Zhu Yujiao really had no choice.
First, she really doesn't have the strength to fall out with the clan in her hands, and second, as a woman, she can't bear to do it to her relatives after all.
In the end, Zhu Yujiao could only speak well to Ma Shiying, and asked Ma Shiying to tell Wu Zheng to allow her some time before dealing with it.
It would have been a compromise.
If Zhu Cixuan had a little conscience, or in other words, a little more sensible, this matter would have become a big thing and a small matter.
But the question is, Zhu Cixuan, who already has a different heart, will he be willing?
Of course he wouldn't!
