Chapter 114: I'd Rather Be Bad to You
Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid one day is not enough. ”
Zhu Youxiao raised his face and said: "I didn't want to give it to you for a day, there are many people in the capital, where can I be blocked for a long time." Besides, if you talk about such a thing, maybe the people behind it have already escaped, what's the use of you closing the city and searching. You can't catch it in a day, and you can't catch it in a hundred days. ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely catch the thief without a single remnant." ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't brag this time, there were only a few ways to bring people into the palace, so Dongchang quickly arrested Chen Dezhong, and Chen Dezhong had already wisely confessed when he only took out the torture equipment in Dongchang, but he only contacted the subordinates of the British duke, so he could only confess to the British duke. Now it was simple, and soon the people who cooperated with the Quartet were arrested by Dongchang together.
And when Zhu Youxiao heard that King Xin was also involved, he couldn't help but be stunned. He dropped the bowl he was drinking medicine from and said, "Wei Zhongxian, are you sure you didn't let them bite indiscriminately?" "Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian in history are not right, but he still knows it, and he is worried that Wei Zhongxian is taking the opportunity to find trouble with Zhu Youzhen.
Duan Ying, who was waiting next to him, went to pick up the bowl and glared at Wei Zhongxian by the way, wanting him to pay attention when he spoke. Wei Zhongxian hurriedly shouted: "Holy Lord, how dare the slave and maid falsely believe in the king." King Xin himself confessed, and it was he who asked Liu Songjin to contact Zhang Weixian. ”
Wang Qia's rebellion against Zhu Youxiao can be understood, but Zhang Weixian's rebellion is a little difficult for him to understand. And his only brother, the honest and honest brother, was going to rebel, he couldn't figure it out anyway. He yelled, "Bring him here, and I'll ask him personally why he rebelled." ”
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly put the file in front of Zhu Youxiao, and then went out to pick up people, and after a while, Zhu Youzhen walked in, and he didn't kneel or salute. Zhu Youxiao looked at him with a calm expression, put down the file and asked: "The factory minister said that you have confessed to participating in the rebellion, so I want to ask why you rebelled." ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's okay for me to call you like this, right?" I always think it's better than the royal brother. We don't want to rebel, we want to re-align the Ming road that you led crookedly, look at you, what has the Ming Dynasty become? ”
Zhu Youxiao also smiled and said, "What does it look like?" It makes you want to get me down and sit in this seat. ”
The smile on Zhu Youzhen's face disappeared, his eyes changed greatly, and he glared at Zhu Youxiao viciously: "Do you think I want to oppose you in order to be the emperor?" Since you ascended the throne, you have not acted according to the laws of your ancestors everywhere, and you have even canceled Taizu's evasion, your own evasion. He also added some messy things to the famous religion in a vain attempt to spread the fallacies and heresies of the West to all places, you say, are you still like an emperor, and the country of your ancestors will be lost in your hands. ”
Zhu Youxiao also put away his smile and said: "At least I defeated Jiannu, so that the people's lives are better than before, our equipment production is much better than before, and soon our train will be officially operated, are these going to be lost?" ”
Zhu Youzhen's face was even more hideous: "You did make the equipment a little stronger than before, but you disturbed the minds of the people." Your advocacy of a renewed understanding of filial piety will soon lead people to stop believing in the Three Principles and Five Constants, so how can we rule such a huge empire? The harm you have caused is much greater than that of Jiannu and Mongolia Although the Mongols occupied the land of the Great Song Dynasty, the heroes rose up to expel the Yuan people, and the ancestors did their best to educate according to the rules set by the sages, so that the Ming Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years. And now that you have broken people's hearts, how long can I continue to be in the Ming Dynasty? ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Do you mean that you are for the people of the world, not for this position?" ”
Zhu Youzhen pursed his lips and ignored his emperor brother at all.
Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Since you don't want this position, then why did your subordinates say that as long as you kill me, Zhu Ciran will be poisoned quickly, and you are personally responsible for this matter?" ”
This sentence inflicted 10,000 critical damage on Zhu Youzhen that ignored his defense. He kept saying that he wanted to oust the emperor from power in order to get the world back on track, as if he wanted to be the master of the people in the world, but the emperor's words were to tell him, you are just for this position.
The reason why he dared to say this in front of the emperor was because he had only said this to his henchman Liu Jing, who had already committed suicide while besieging the Xinwang Mansion in Dongchang. He didn't expect that in order to win the trust of the other three parties, Liu Jing said this sentence during the four-party talks.
He already understood that the matter was revealed when he was in the Dongchang Siege Mansion. But he knew that his emperor's brother was better to his relatives, and if he participated in the rebellion because he wanted to set things right, then maybe the emperor would only punish him slightly, so he choked the emperor with his neck, saying that he was just dissatisfied with his brother's suppression of Confucianism, not wanting to be the emperor himself.
He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Imperial Brother Mingcha, I didn't say this, I have a very good relationship with Ci Ran, how could I do such a thing?" I just want to force you to abdicate, and then be succeeded by Ci Ran, I just want to assist Ci Ran until he reaches adulthood, and then he will retire and live the days of the ancient Buddha to atone for his sins. ”
At this time, a woman walked in outside the house, and he shouted as if he had met a savior: "The imperial sister-in-law save me, I just want my brother not to abolish the Three Principles and Five Constants, I am wronged." ”
Zhang Yan received a message from Duan Ying, and immediately came to the Qianqing Palace, and just arrived at the door, she happened to hear Zhu Youxiao's last question to Zhu Youzhen, she was like a lightning strike, stopped her hurried steps, and walked in slowly.
She is very good to both Zhu Youzhen and Yuan Yuan, and she really treats them as her younger brothers and sisters, so she hurried over when she received the news from Duan Ying, but she didn't want to hear that Zhu Youzhen actually wanted to poison her son, and her heart was cold.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the queen, and after Zhang Yan stepped forward to salute, before she could say anything, tears had already flowed.
Zhu Youzhen saw the imperial sister-in-law crying, thinking that there was hope, and his heart was overjoyed. Of course he knows his brother's gentle temperament, and he knows his brother's kindness to the three concubines, and the imperial sister-in-law is very good to him, of course she will save herself.
Zhang Yan wiped away her tears and said, "By the inspection, how does the imperial sister-in-law treat you?" ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "The imperial sister-in-law treats her younger brother like a mountain. ”
Zhang Yan's face changed and said: "Because I am good to you, you are going to kill my husband, your brother?" Because I'm kind to you, you're going to poison my only son? Your own nephew? If so, I'd rather I treat you badly. ”
