Chapter 393: Words Don't Speculate
"British duke, why hurry to leave since you are here?"
King Fu's brows furrowed slightly, but he had already expected Zhang Weixian's cold attitude towards him, so he smiled slightly and said to Zhang Weixian's back.
As soon as the words fell, some men in strong suits standing in front of the door turned sideways to block the exit, and several guards who followed Zhang Weixian immediately stepped forward to confront him, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Although Zhang Weixian brought dozens of guards, only a few personal guards followed him into the banquet hall, and the rest of the guards ate in the wing room.
Liu Wu wanted to say goodbye to his father, but after seeing the smell of gunpowder in front of him, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, wanting to wait and see how things developed.
"His Royal Highness King Fu, according to the custom set by Grandpa Cheng, courtiers are not allowed to meet the vassal king in private, and I hope that His Royal Highness King Fu will respect himself!" Zhang Weixian glanced at the men in strong clothes who were blocking the door, and knew that it would be difficult for him to leave easily this time, so he turned around and looked at King Fu coldly.
"British duke, this is wrong, before coming to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion to participate in the banquet, King Fu has already told the imperial concubine Niangniang, and the imperial concubine Niangniang agrees with this matter, how can it be 'meeting in private'."
Hearing this, King Rui, who was sitting next to King Fu, explained to Zhang Weixian in a serious manner that they naturally came prepared this time, and they had already thought of an excuse to see Zhang Weixian.
"His Royal Highness King Rui, Taizu has left the ancestral system, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the imperial concubine Niangniang's move violates the ancestral system."
Zhang Weixian couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, Concubine Zheng Guifei is the biological mother of King Fu, so she naturally wants to protect King Fu, but according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the imperial concubine in the affairs of the vassal king, even the queen can't interfere.
"The British public saying is serious, the imperial concubine Niangniang just wants to calm down the current chaotic court situation, even if the great grandfather is alive, he must appreciate it."
King Fu's face suddenly became a little ugly when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhang Guang to be so faceless to Concubine Zheng, seeing this situation, Zhang Guang, who was sitting there, made a round, stood up and said to Zhang Weixian with a smile, "British duke, we have everything to discuss, why leave in a hurry." ”
Don't look at Zhang Weixian's qualifications are a bit mediocre, and he can't be compared with the British princes of his ancestors, but he has a very high status in the officialdom of the capital, and even Fang Congzhe can only be under him.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Weixian participated in the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, and led people into the palace in the palace transfer case, and personally carried the imperial chariot to send the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the throne.
Therefore, even when the party struggle in the Tianqi Dynasty was at its most intense, no one dared to provoke Zhang Weixian, and Emperor Chongzhen was able to ascend the throne Zhang Weixian also made great efforts.
The reason why Zhang Weixian has such a transcendent position in the court is not only the favor of the emperors of previous dynasties, but also related to the fact that he "took charge" of the Beijing army in the capital.
Although the Beijing army in the capital belongs to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it needs a person to coordinate the relationship between the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Zhang Weixian is that person, plus he is the head of the nobles, so although there are factions within the Beijing Army, it is basically the head of the horse.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Weixian would not have thought that Zhang Guang would attack him and trick him into coming to his home to meet King Fu in the name of a night banquet, otherwise he would definitely not have brought dozens of guards to come, and those guards were also sent elsewhere by Zhang Guang's people.
"Marquis Wuwei, Emperor Daxing summoned you and me into the palace before his death, and he must have made it very clear that if we want to assist the prince to ascend the throne, what else is there to discuss about this matter?"
How could Zhang Weixian not know Zhang Guang's thoughts, so he sneered and looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Could it be that Wu Weihou wants to resist the decree?" ”
"British duke, this is a bad statement, the reason why this marquis invited His Royal Highness King Fu is to follow the edict of Emperor Daxing."
Zhang Guang knew that Zhang Weixian must have been very angry in his heart that he had set up this bureau to deceive him, so he didn't mind Zhang Weixian's cold attitude at all, and after arching his hand upward, he said solemnly to Zhang Weixian, "Emperor Daxing personally said to Benhou that the crown prince was too cowardly to intimidate the courtiers, and for the sake of the future of the Ming Dynasty, he supported His Royal Highness King Fu to ascend the throne. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Weixian was stunned, and Liu Wu also showed a surprised look on his face, the two never expected Zhang Guang to find such a ridiculous reason.
But then again, this reason, although it seems too brazen, is indeed troublesome, as difficult as a-stirring stick, and enough to shake the foundation of the prince's orthodoxy.
"The British Duke, not only the Marquis of Wuwei, but also the Emperor Daxing once told the king and the king of Hui to let King Fu replace the crown prince on the throne, the prince only knew that he was addicted to wine in the palace, and the Daxing Emperor was very disappointed in this, and he was worried about the Ming Dynasty, so he had the intention of reforming it."
Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Weixian and Liu Wu looked at each other, King Rui spoke again and said seriously, "For this reason, King Fu will be summoned to the capital by Emperor Daxing, British Duke, you are the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and you will not watch the Ming Dynasty decay in the hands of the prince, otherwise what face will you face in the future Emperor Daxing and the Son of Heaven in the past?" ”
The corners of King Fu's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he was very satisfied with Zhang Weixian and Liu Wu's stunned reaction at this time, when Emperor Yongle could think of the reason of "Qing Jun's side" to seize the world, so why couldn't he replace the prince in charge of the Ming Dynasty on the grounds of "testament"?
"Yongguo Gong, did Emperor Daxing tell you about this?" Although Zhang Weixian knew that King Rui was talking nonsense, he now valued Liu Wu's attitude more, so he looked at Liu Wu a little nervously.
"The British duke, the emperor of Daxing did not mention this matter to this duke." Liu Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it was not only Zhang Weixian but also him who was designed by Zhang Guang today, and now it seems that it is not easy to retreat from the Wuwei Hou Mansion.
"Lord Rui, neither this Duke nor the Duke of Yongguo know about this, I don't know if you have the edict of Emperor Daxing?"
Zhang Weixian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, from Liu Wu's reaction, he knew that Liu Wu was also kept in the dark, so after a deep groan, he looked at King Rui coldly, wanting to see what other tricks King Rui had.
"British duke, of course the Emperor Daxing has left an edict, this king has seen it, and the edict is now in the hands of the imperial concubine." Without waiting for King Rui to speak, King Hui, who was sitting on the other side of King Fu, put down the teacup in his hand and replied quietly.
Zhang Weixian and Liu Wu's faces suddenly changed when they heard this, there is no doubt that the edict in King Hui's mouth was forged, it seems that Zheng Guifei and King Fu have decided to overkill the edict in order to compete for the throne.
This is also the reason why Zhang Guang deceived Zhang Weixian and Liu Wu, once Zheng Guifei and King Fu were overshadowed, then the dispute between the prince and King Fu for the throne will evolve into a military conflict, and the nobles who support the prince will definitely not sit idly by and watch the status of the prince and prince be deprived.
If Zhang Weixian and Liu Wu are controlled, then the nobles who support the crown prince and the nobles who hold a neutral attitude will be leaderless, so they will not be able to pose a threat to King Fu.
"If there is an edict, why do you only take it out now?" After Zhang Weixian's face changed, he looked at King Hui coldly and said, there was a trace of anger in his words, he never expected that Concubine Zheng and King Fu would do such a thing that people and gods were angry about.
"The imperial concubine Niangniang has a deep relationship with Emperor Daxing, and she can't bear to take out the edict after the death of Emperor Daxing and ruin the funeral of Emperor Daxing."
King Hui had already dealt with it and replied to Zhang Weixian in an orderly manner, "But now is an extraordinary period, and it is a matter of thousands of generations of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial concubine Niangniang must fulfill the edict of Emperor Daxing even if she is unwilling." ”
Zhang Weixian couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard this, knowing that it would be futile to say anything next, everything was just an excuse, and King Fu's appearance here today made it clear that he was determined to win the throne.
"His Royal Highness King Fu, it seems that today's officials can't leave here." Therefore, Zhang Weixian took a deep breath and looked at King Fu with an expressionless face.
"British duke, do you really think that the crown prince is more suitable to ascend the throne than this king?" King Fu groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then stared at Zhang Weixian and asked.
Zhang Weixian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect King Fu to ask such a question, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a while, in terms of intelligence and the ability to govern government affairs, King Fu was much higher than the prince, and when King Fu was in Beijing, he was carefully taught by Emperor Wanli.
"King Fu, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, how can it be a circle without rules?" After the initial stunned, Zhang Weixian bowed his hand to King Fu and replied solemnly, "King Fu, for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, I hope that King Fu can focus on the overall situation and don't let outsiders see jokes." ”
"The British public is not good at saying this, it is related to the society of the Ming Dynasty, and it also determines the well-being of hundreds of millions of people, so how can it be judged as a 'joke'?"
At this time, Zhang Guang opened his mouth to relieve King Fu from the siege, and said seriously, "The most important thing for Emperor Daxing is King Fu, King Fu is both civil and military, and Daming is now suffering from internal and external troubles, who can lead Daming to get rid of the current predicament and realize the great cause of Zhongxing!" ”
"The great thing in the world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, this prince is deeply favored by the emperor, and he will never betray the emperor of Daxing!"
Zhang Weixian's heart suddenly felt a burst of disappointment, from Zhang Guang's words, he knew that his desire to let King Fu restrain himself from the precipice was ruthlessly shattered, so he glared at Zhang Guang with annoyance, and bowed to King Fu bitterly and said, "King Fu, please think twice, don't do those things that make relatives and enemies happy." ”
"The loyalty of the British Duke is admired by this king, and it is a blessing for me to have such loyalty and good faith as the British Prince."
King Fu also felt extremely sorry, the nobles he valued the most were Zhang Weixian, if Zhang Weixian took refuge in him, then he would have no worries, and the rest of the nobles couldn't make any big waves, so he said after a deep sigh:
"However, this matter involves the thousands of generations of the Ming Dynasty, this king has no way out, and the British Duke has been busy for the funeral of Emperor Daxing for many days, so it is better to rest for a few days in the Wuwei Hou Mansion."
"His Royal Highness King Fu, you can control the capital, but how to block the mouth of the world?"
Zhang Weixian knew that King Fu was going to put him under house arrest, so he secretly shook his head helplessly, and walked away after bowing his hand to King Fu, looking serious and worried in his heart, secretly anxious for the fate of the prince: After King Fu made a move, who else in the army in the capital could support the prince?
