Chapter 019: The Appearance of Madness
"The emperor's brother died early, the emperor's nephew is young, and now the Ming Dynasty is in danger, as my Zhu family's son, I have the responsibility and obligation to come out and take responsibility!" Looking at Wei Zhongxian, Concubine Li Kang, and Concubine Zheng Guifei, Zhu Youzhen's face was full of justice and awe, and his words were even more sonorous: "When the mountains and rivers of Daming are restored to integrity, Lone will take the initiative to abdicate and let Emperor Yu's nephew inherit the unification!" ”
Why is this operation so familiar?
Why do you always feel like you've seen it somewhere?
Just when everyone listened to what Zhu Youzhen said, they kept muttering in their hearts, but they were shocked when they thought about it.
Hey!
Isn't this clearly the operation of Yingzong being captured, Beijing being besieged, and Emperor Jing being called emperor in danger? !
I have to say that Zhu Youzhen did think of the best idea, because no matter how you look at it, it is better than continuing to let outsiders control the Ming Dynasty, which is the Ming family in the final analysis.
Such as Wei Zhongxian, Concubine Li Kang, and Concubine Zheng Guifei are vassals of the Zhu family in the final analysis, when will this vassal of the Zhu family always be able to replace the Zhu family to manage the government?
Let a few children who have not grown up to compete for the emperor, then at least ten years of control in the hands of outsiders, which is a very unwilling thing for the vast majority of ministers, after all, the sage books they read pay attention to the set of loyalty and patriotism.
As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Empress Zhang, who was already very hesitant in her heart, seemed to have grasped a straw in her heart, and the current situation was obviously uncontrollable.
And Concubine Li Kang and Concubine Zheng Guifei couldn't say anything in this matter at all.
Why?
It is said that the succession to the throne also involves a bloodline theory, and those who can inherit the throne are definitely the most authentic descendants of the Zhu family, no matter how much they are favored by the emperor, but once the new emperor ascends the throne, then you will become a side branch, and there will always be only one lineage.
Passed to the generation of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the lineage of the Zhu family is from the line of Zhu Changluo, if the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not dead, then the lineage of the Zhu family is the line of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the next thing to do is to continue to pass it down.
But the embarrassment is embarrassing, now the three princes born to the Emperor of the Apocalypse are too small, so small that they can control the court, at least fifteen years away, in such a situation, instead of letting outsiders control the government, why can't Zhu Youzhen, who is relatively closest to the bloodline, temporarily succeed to the unification?
When the prince grows up, Zhu Youzhen can return to the throne from one of them.
If you don't say that Zhu Youzhen is a chicken thief, people are not giving way, they are returning to the throne, and they need to set up the prince of the Emperor of the Apocalypse as the crown prince, and then wait until Zhu Youzhen is dead, and let the prince ascend the throne and call the emperor, and the return to the throne is that once the prince grows up, then Zhu Youzhen will immediately abdicate and let the prince ascend the throne and become the emperor......
That's a!
Concubine Li Kang, Concubine Zheng Guifei is not confident here.
In other words, in the face of the situation told by Zhu Youzhen, they don't know how to deal with it at all, and the powerful ministers under their command have all run to Zhu Youzhen's command, and they still have to deal with a fart!
"Papai ......" bursts of applause resounded in the hall, and everyone who was originally silent followed the sound, but saw Zhao Zongwu wearing a flying fish suit, and he walked in from the palace gate, and said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness King Xin is worthy of being the humerus of the Ming royal family, and he can snatch the throne of the imperial nephew at such a time of danger in the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Because Zhao Zongwu knew what Zhu Youzhen's face was, he would never treat Zhu Youzhen with any good face from the beginning.
If Zhao Zongwu didn't say it was for the sake of saving some face for the dead Emperor of the Apocalypse, he would directly announce all the evil deeds committed by this disgusting guy during this time.
Zhu Youzhen frowned and looked at Zhao Zongwu who walked in, although he was slightly flustered in his heart, he looked at Guo Mingling beside him and nodded slightly, and then said, "Why did Dingguo Gong say this? Lone is doing this wholeheartedly for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, how can he snatch the throne of the emperor's nephew? ”
In fact, after Zhao Zongwu vented in the Xinwang Mansion, Zhu Youzhen discussed with Guo Mingling and them, this kind of news, unless it is at the most extreme time, Zhao Zongwu will definitely not announce it, after all, once this matter is announced, the impact is really bad.
Do you say that Zhu Youzhen has no guilt in his heart?
That must be there.
But seeing that the eunuchs control the Ming Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse is obsessed with craftsmanship there, constantly suppressing the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty, but blindly favoring the traitorous villains, if this is like this for a long time, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be destroyed in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
It is under such a premise that a force has slowly gathered around Zhu Youzhen, and this force has become stronger and bigger in the continuous cultivation.
It's just that what Zhu Youzhen sees is right or wrong, does it have to be really right or wrong?
How can the rule of the country be summed up by a simple sentence of right and wrong.
Zhao Zongwu did not directly pay attention to Zhu Youzhen's questioning, but walked towards the hall, looked at the empty dragon chair, and respectfully bowed, bowing three times and knocking nine times.
The reason why he had to bow three times and bow nine times was not for others to see, but because Zhao Zongwu owed the dead Zhu Youxiao in his heart.
"Your Majesty! The minister came back late......"
After saying this, Zhao Zongwu slowly stood up, turned to look at the imposing Zhu Youzhen, and said: "As His Royal Highness King Xin just said, when Yan Daming is currently in danger, then this prince wants to ask His Royal Highness King Xin, what is the danger of my Daming?" ”
Zhao Zongwu's rhetorical question made Zhu Youzhen stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Dingguo Gong is not in the court, I am afraid I don't know the current political situation."
At this stage, there are many disasters and famines in various parts of our Ming Dynasty, especially in Shaanxi and Gansu, where there have been signs of civil unrest, if in such a situation, the imperial court cannot deal with it as soon as possible, it may cause chaos. And in this special period, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a young child, then it is inevitable that the power of the court will be left in the hands of outsiders! ”
Listening to what Zhu Youzhen said, Zhao Zongwu's face was full of ridicule, and said: "According to the news obtained by this father, although there is instability in the land of Shaanxi and Gansu, it is more because of the people in the land of Shaanxi and Gansu, because of the drought that has caused all the output in the land, the imperial court only needs to allocate grain to the disaster relief according to the actual situation in the land of Shaanxi and Gansu."
How did it become a matter of chaos in the minds of some people? Could it be that if the people want to live and want to demonstrate to the local government, it will become a disaster for the country and the people?
Besides, even if there is a riot in Shaanxi and Gansu, there will be no wavering in my Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji at all!
The Liaodong New Army was established with the special approval of the first emperor, and I, the Liaodong Jian'er, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, will definitely not watch the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji shake a little!
This duke is the pawn of the first emperor, since the first emperor has died, then this emperor should be the heir of the first emperor!
Could it be that His Royal Highness King Xin also wants to play a play, the change of seizing the door when Emperor Jing appeared? ”
For Zhu Youzhen, Zhao Zongwu will not give him any face, he Zhu Youzhen wants to take this opportunity to ascend the throne and become emperor, it is absolutely impossible!
But the matter has come to this point, and it will not retreat because of a sentence or two.
"Zhao Zongwu! You're so rampant! As a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, you dare to be so domineering, don't you treat this capital as your Liaodong to be a blessing! Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was scolded and had nothing to say, Guo Mingling, who was on the side, would definitely not stand idly by, at this time, it was necessary to establish the righteousness, if there was no righteousness, then let alone be the emperor, and even Zhu Youzhen would be charged with trying to get on the throne.
But obviously Zhao Zongwu didn't eat this set at all.
Glancing at the excited Guo Mingling, Zhao Zongwu had a little more smile on his face, and then asked rhetorically: "Your name is Guo Mingling, right?" ”
After hearing this, Guo Mingling immediately raised his head and said: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname!" It's Guo Mingling below! But as soon as Guo Mingling finished speaking, several brocade guards rushed in from outside the hall.
"Guo Mingling, a person from Fu'an, was dismissed from his official position due to fraud in the early years, and then transferred to Beijing several times and became a seat in the Xinwangfu, but during the Xinwangfu, he did not respect the sages, but practiced witchcraft all day long......"
Although Zhao Zongwu can't publicize Zhu Youzhen's plot to kill Zhu Youxiao, it is still an extremely simple matter to investigate the people around Zhu Youzhen and convict the people around him.
Why did Zhao Zongwu master Jinyiwei?
The goal is to arrest the person he wants to arrest at the right time!
After Zhao Zongwu finished telling this, the Jinyi Wei who came in didn't give Guo Mingling a chance to react at all, and directly took him down in public and took him away directly.
This sudden change shocked Zhu Youzhen, pointing at Zhao Zongwu and being angry, but just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Zhao Zongwu and continued.
And with this interruption, Zhao Zongwu captured ninety-one officials one after another.
The Xinwang faction led by Guo Mingling, Zhang Changsi, and Kong Minxin was arrested by Jinyi Wei in just a short period of tea, and they were immediately arrested in the edict of Fusi in Beizhen!
"Your Royal Highness King Xin, I really don't know what kind of people are gathered around you, such a group of sanctimonious villains, you still believe in it so much!"
Zhao Zongwu held the various charges found by the 91 officials who were arrested, and a rhetorical question directly killed Zhu Youzhen's last striving.
The scene in front of them also shocked everyone present, because they had never experienced such a thing, and they didn't expect that the martial artist who was rumored in the past would beat the aggressive Zhu Youzhen with two or three moves, is this still the Zhao Zongwu they know?
Could it be that all the rumors that have been there before are false?
Or is there some kind of misinterpretation in this?
