Chapter 350: Sacrifice
But the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, pointed at Zhou Simin and scolded: "Women have always been not in court, even if they are emperors and princesses, they are not allowed to interfere in politics, you are just a side room of Jinghaihou, how dare you be ashamed to say that you can represent Jinghaihou?" ”
These words resonated in the hearts of the palace officials.
Now that it has come, the attitude has been revealed, it is like a sword that has been unsheathed, and it is difficult to return to the sheath without blood.
So, they all approached in unison.
Rao is Zhu Yujiao is well-informed, and not only has her appearance changed miserably.
Although Wu Xiaomei is willful, she has never seen this kind of scene, and her face is miserable.
At this critical juncture, a group of Ming soldiers rushed in.
No, to be precise, just rushed to the door and lined up.
Everyone was stunned, Zhu Yujiao was thinking, I didn't order the transfer of troops.
Zhu Yihai, Qian Sule and others are thinking, it's not that we are deploying troops, and we have no troops to adjust.
Especially Qian Sule, he only wants to settle this matter peacefully, and it is best to complete the transition of power without bloodshed, just like the previous ministers deposed Zhu Yihai and supported Zhu Yujiao, which is good for everyone.
Just when everyone was surprised who transferred the troops, Zhang Huangyan, Xiong Rulin, Sun Jiaji and Liao Zhongping rushed into the hall with more than a dozen soldiers holding their heads high.
"The ministers are late for rescue, please forgive your highness."
The limelight was suddenly reversed.
Qian Sule was so angry that his fingers clicked, "Zhang Cangshui, you dare to mobilize His Highness's guards without permission?" And you Xiong Rulin and Sun Jiaji, you also gathered people to make trouble? Do you know that today's matter was decided by Mr. Wozi and a group of Confucians, for the Daming Temple? This matter is related to the inheritance of the temple, and it is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. You guys...... You fools! ”
Zhu Yihai pointed at Liao Zhongping and scolded: "Commander Liao, Lone has always treated you well, why, do you dare to oppose Lonely?" ”
The words of the two men came almost at the same time, and the answers they received were sequential.
Liao Zhongping bowed to Zhu Yihai and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu, as the commander of the guards, he has the heavy responsibility of guarding the country, and he does not dare to forget his duties for a while. ”
This does not sound like a direct answer to Zhu Yihai's accusation, but it has actually been answered.
Everyone can understand that Liao Zhongping's choice is not to choose.
He is only loyal to the prison state, and whoever sits in the position of the prison country will be loyal to whomever he wants.
At this time, it was Zhu Yujiao who was in the position of supervising the country.
Liao Zhongping's choice is self-explanatory.
Zhu Yihai trembled when he heard this, and he suddenly realized that today was probably a mistake, no, it was already a mistake.
Liao Zhongping is only a few hundred people under his command, but these hundreds of people are enough to decide today's outcome.
Zhu Yihai regretted it, he thought in frustration, why bother, why bother, entering Ying Tianfu to be an auxiliary prince is actually a good choice, at least with the previous peace with Wu Zheng, the friendship is not shallow, and this prince will also be moisturized, right?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yihai looked at Qian Sule with annoyance, this matter was provoked by this old man, if it weren't for his trickery, he wouldn't have done this thing to force the palace.
Zhang Huangyan and the three of them first saluted Zhu Yujiao, and then turned to Qian Sule to salute again.
Zhang Huang said: "Mr. Zhiting is the heart of the country and the people, and he admires it in his later life. But today is different from the past, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the court is difficult to return. Our dynasty is also different from the previous dynasty, whether it is from the royal order or righteousness, it cannot be compared with the Longwu Dynasty. Yesterday, Mr. Zhiting and the late sheng discussed the support of the king of Lu, in the view of the late life, this is a move to disrupt the country and the court, when the late sheng objected, dissuaded Mr. not to do this, but Mr. insisted on it, and the late life had no choice but to come up with this method with Xiong and Sun, in order to quell the incident to a minimum. I hope Mr. understands our hard work! ”
In fact, at this point, the overall situation is decided.
Next, as long as Zhu Yihai, Qian Sule and other ministers pleaded guilty to Zhu Yujiao, and then Zhu Yuanjiao waved her hand and said magnanimously, "The princes are also worried about state affairs, although this move is rude, but for the sake of the princes' hearts for the Daming Temple, the palace will no longer pursue it." ”
Then this matter will end successfully, after all, Ying Tianfu is in front of him, and it is urgent to enter the city and enter the palace to worship the ancestors.
But what happened next completely changed the flavor of this farce and changed the direction of history.
……。
Wu Zheng is indeed inexperienced.
In his previous life, he was just a small clerk, and although he is now a marquis, he has not been really immersed in officialdom for a long time.
For more than a year, he was almost in the barracks, and more than a dozen battles of all sizes occupied most of his time.
This led to a lack of political sensitivity on his part.
At any time, it is a major event for you to leave Beijing and return to Beijing.
As an important minister, you must be by the king's side, which is not just a show, but always on guard against changes, and it is also a means to show that the minister is in the king's heart and the identity is important.
Especially like this time, it is an unforgivable mistake that Jing Haihou, who is the most powerful person in charge of the imperial court, has broken away from his companion.
To put it simply, whenever an emperor appears on any occasion, he is always accompanied by the most important, most believing, and most powerful ministers, and this has been the case since ancient times.
And when the lost land is recovered and the king returns to Beijing, it must be sacrificed to the heavens and the earth and the temple.
Wu Zheng broke away from the escort because of trivial matters, and it really shouldn't be.
If it is only a short time to get away, it is not a big problem, after all, it is half a day behind, Wu Zheng is in a hurry, even if he can't catch up, he will not be too far behind.
But the problem is that Wu Zheng did not catch up, but went to Jiading.
Jiading, this is Wu Zheng's secret and heart knot.
He promised that after the recovery of Nanjing, he would go back to pay tribute to his uncle Wu Zhifan, the former deputy commander of Jiading of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, it is the time for him to fulfill his promise, he has to go, if he doesn't go, Wu Zheng is afraid that he will not be able to sleep.
Wu Zheng really didn't expect that with loyal courtiers like Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan, Xiong Rulin, Sun Jiaji, etc., plus the army stationed in Yingtianfu, Zhu Yujiao and his party would have such an accident.
At this time, Wu Zheng was drinking with the stele in front of his uncle Wu Zhifan.
The people of Jiading, before the arrival of Wu Zheng, had built a huge tomb for Wu Zhifan and the corpses of the soldiers who were buried together.
According to Wu Zheng's meaning, Wu Zhifan's body was built into another tomb and buried alone, in the northeast of the soldier's tomb.
Wu Zheng kowtowed and incense, but did not leave.
Instead, he sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone and drank with his uncle.
Maybe he drank too much, Wu Zheng's mouth was still talking to himself.
This gaffe made Song An beside him a little frightened, and he could only find Ma Shiying to save the scene.
Looking for Ma Shiying, it is not that Song An believes in Ma Shiying, but by Wu Zheng's side, and it is true that he can no longer find someone more literate than Ma Shiying.
