Zhu Yuan accompanied the Jinyiwei in the team, naturally there were the eyes and ears of the emperor Zhu Hongsan, after such a major event happened in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Hongsan soon received the news of the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Hongsan didn't get angry after reading the whole incident, because Zhu Hongsan was ready to fail when he started sending Zhu Yuan out. Zhu Yuan is a fifteen-year-old child, and he is the opponent of those old fritters in Henan. It's just that Zhu Hongsan didn't expect the Henan officials to be so ruthless, and in order to bring down Zhu Yuan, he actually gave the lives of seven or eight scholars.

Zhang Jiayu has already seen that the fire incident is not simple, and it is very likely that there is a mastermind behind the scenes, and Zhu Hongsan, as the emperor, of course, can also see that this matter is not just as simple as going off fire.

There are several suspicious points in this case, why did Ding Changsheng bring a gun when he took people to the gate? Zhu Yuan didn't order Ding Changsheng to bring a gun. And the guards assigned to Zhu Yuan are all from the Janissaries in the palace, and they are all the most elite soldiers of various field troops, so can you see those unarmed scholars who are so frightened that they shoot in fright? There are also guards because of the arch guarding the palace, the weapons naturally used are the latest and best, and there is a fire, but the probability of occurrence has been greatly reduced, why do you have to go to the door before going fire? These things are so strange.

You don't have to think about it to know who did it, it's nothing more than the prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Chu. Among them, King Qin is the most suspicious, although Ding Changsheng was born in the fourth division, and King Zhu Jiang of Qin was born in the second division, and the two did not have anything to do with each other, but Zhu Jiang's uncle Ma Rufeng was the deputy commander of the second division back then.

There is also the prince, he was a soldier in the second division back then, although ordinary soldiers didn't know that the prince was a soldier with him, but Ma Kun, as the division commander, knew, so the prince also had this suspicion.

As for Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, his grandfather is Tong Yangjia, who is in charge of the military, and the quartermasters of each unit are all Tong Yangjia's people, so it is very simple to do this.

Zhu Hongsan thought that his sons had a headache in order to compete for the position, Zhu Hongsan threw the Jinyiwei information to the ground, and then sat on the dragon chair and rubbed his forehead.

At this time, the great eunuch Li Chengen walked in, and when he saw the emperor like this, he hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Emperor, but you are not feeling well?" ”

Zhu Hongsan sighed and waved his hand and asked, "It's nothing, Lao Li, what's the matter?" ”

Li Chengen hurriedly bowed down and said, "Emperor, the little master is here!" ”

The prince is coming? probably heard some news, and came to me to drug Zhu Yuan. Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked Li Chengen to bring in the crown prince.

Zhu Hai is twenty-six years old this year, after many years of court experience, he is already a mature prince, Zhu Hai knelt down and kowtowed after entering the Qianqing Palace and said: "Father, the son of the emperor to the father and emperor to say goodbye!" ”

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "Get up, what's the matter with the prince's coming today?" ”

How do you know that the prince did not get up, but continued to kowtow and cry: "Father, when the son was outside Nanchang City, he almost died under the iron hooves of the Manchu cavalry, it was Wu Chaoye who took a few soldiers to protect the son with his life, and used his body to block the Manchu bow and arrow for the son of the son, so that the son was able to live, but Wu Chaoye and those soldiers all died to protect the son of the minister!" The father taught the sons to be grateful to Dade, so the sons respected Wu Chaoye's widowed mother Xu very much, and the father also gave the Xu family a title of the first order of the wife, but... But..

。 ”

Zhu Hai said that he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly in the sad place, Zhu Hongsan was already a headache, but now he was even more disturbed by Zhu Hai's crying.

Zhu Hongsan endured his annoyance and asked, "Don't cry the prince, what's going on?" ”

"Father, but the Xu family shouted injustice in Kaifeng for Wu Chaocui, the only son who was beaten to death by the fourth brother, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of the fourth brother!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Hai is a little out of context, Xu died at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, but he was not killed by Zhu Yuan's order, but was trampled to death by the students who fled for his life, but it was Zhu Yuan's guards who shot him, and Xu's death is not an exaggeration to count on Zhu Yuan.

The news that Zhu Hongsan received was only that Zhu Yuan's guards in Henan Province shot and killed the student, and Xu's death was not reported, because it was a matter of the Ministry of Rites, so Zhu Hongsan didn't know about it now.

After Zhu Hai finished speaking, he looked up at his father Zhu Hongsan, and then continued: "Father, then Wu Chaocui broke the law and was beaten to death because he was to blame, but the Xu family died in the hands of the fourth brother, so what do all the nobles in the court think?" ”

Zhu Hai was still chattering there, Zhu Hongsan couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and scolded: "Okay, don't say it, what do you say?" Zhu Yuan is my son, should I let my son pay for the Xu family's life? ”

Zhu Hai saw that his father was angry, and he was secretly happy in his heart, seeing his fourth brother who wanted to be in the limelight was going to be unlucky.

"Father, the imperial court has a system of discussing relatives and nobles, and the fourth brother, as the son of his father and the prince of the country, naturally does not have to pay for the Xu family, but this time he must also be punished, so that Xungui can feel at ease!"

Zhu Hai is right, no matter what, the Xu family died because of Zhu Yuan, and you, the emperor's prince, dare to kill Xungui, so do you want to play Zhu Yuanzhang's trick in the future? Therefore, Zhu Hongsan had to severely punish Zhu Yuan no matter what, and use it to appease a large number of nobles in the court.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and asked, "Prince, you are the prince of the country and Zhu Yuan's brother, how do you say I should punish Zhu Yuan?" ”

Of course, Zhu Hai hoped that his father would abolish Zhu Yuan's throne and demote him to a concubine, and it would be best to be locked up in Fengyang Royal Prison and never come out, but Zhu Hai knew that he would be disgusted by his father if he wanted to say this, so he had to pretend to be a brother and a brother.

"Father, the fourth brother is the younger brother of Erchen, before and after following Erchen, Erchen really couldn't be ruthless to punish the fourth brother, or ask Father and Emperor to make a decision!" Zhu Hai knew that no matter what he said, it was not right, the punishment was heavy and his father was unhappy, and he was not happy if it was light, so it was better to let his father decide it himself!

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "Then remove Zhu Yuan, change the title of Hejian Prefecture to Jiaohe County, and demote Wang Jue to an auxiliary general!" ”

The Ming Dynasty clan had a total of eight titles, the first class was the prince, such as the king of Chu, the king of Yan, the king of Fu, the king of Lu, the king of Gui and other one-word kings, the prince of the county is the concubine of the prince, such as Zhu Hongsan's ancestor Zhu Mengju, the king of Jiangxia County. Further down is not the prince, the concubine of the county king is the general of Zhenguo, the next generation is the general of the auxiliary state, and the second generation is the general of Fengguo. General Fengguo's concubine is not even a general, but can only be a lieutenant of Zhenguo, a lieutenant of Fuguo, and a lieutenant of Fengguo. At that time, Zhu Hongsan was a lieutenant in Fengguo, the lowest grade.

Now that Zhu Yuan has been demoted from the prince to a fourth level and has become an auxiliary general, this kind of punishment is ruthless enough, and Zhu Hai is very full when he hears it

Meaning, now Zhu Yuan no longer has the capital to compete with himself.

After disposing of the unlucky Zhu Yuan, Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhu Hai and asked, "You should have heard about Henan!" What does the prince think should be done? ”

Zhu Hai heard Zhu Hongsan ask about himself, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Father, Henan has always been the place of the four wars, although Wu Peichang is a little small, but he can't hide his achievements, and now he needs to recuperate after the war, so his son thinks that Henan should still send a safe person to serve as this messenger." ”

Zhu Hai can't help it, he has too many interests in Henan. Zhu Hai is different from his younger brothers, Zhu Jiang, Zhu Huai, and Zhu Yuan have factories and imperial villages given by the emperor, so there is no shortage of money. But the prince is different, the country will be yours in the future, and you are embarrassed to grab things with your younger brothers? Therefore, Zhu Hai could only survive on the 15,000 silver dollars allocated to him by the imperial court every year.

Of course, 15,000 silver dollars is a lot, but the prince's East Palace, a large family, what maids and palace maids, eunuchs and miscellaneous servants, these are all required by the prince's salary, so this fifteen thousand silver dollars will be enough. But if Zhu Hai wants to do something else, he can't do it, such as bribing an official, or rewarding a meritorious person, and there is no way to do it.

In the past, Zhu Haidu went to his uncle Ma Mingyuan to ask for it, after all, Ma Mingyuan's family has a big business, and 108,000 silver dollars is still not a problem. But as Zhu Hai got older, he didn't want to be controlled by Ma Mingyuan, so Zhu Hai worked hard in Henan.

Henan, as the land of Zhongzhou, was the most destroyed by the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so in order to resume production as soon as possible after the peace of the world, the imperial court invested a lot of money and grain in Henan, and some of these became Zhu Hai's small treasury. Of course, it is not only the prince who uses Henan as a small treasury, Ma Mingyuan, Tong Yangjia, Feng Ziyong and others have industries in Henan, but it is just a matter of how much.

It is precisely because Zhu Hai is too deeply involved in Henan that Zhu Hai does not want Zhu Yuan to really turn over the affairs of Henan, which is not good for anyone. Zhu Hai thinks that the best outcome is to find a few scapegoats and then let them carry the black pot. As for the others, the general direction is good, just a pot of soup with some individual stinky fish. Now all that needs to be done is to find out these stinky fish, and then purify the ranks of officials.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and asked, "Prince, do you have any good candidates?" ”

Zhu Hai was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan's question, and hurriedly said: "Father, the son thinks that Yin Qian's love in Shuntian Mansion is okay, Qian Yiai is alert and capable, and he will definitely be able to find out the affairs of Henan and solve problems for his father!" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, and said to Li Chengen beside him: "Okay, just do what the prince said, Lao Li, you go to the military aircraft department to pass the decree, let Yin Qian bereaved to serve as the messenger of Shuntian Mansion, and grant him the right to act cheaply!" ”

Zhu Hai was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and he finally didn't have to worry about the matter in Henan.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhu Hai who bowed and retreated, his heart was very gloomy, he originally wanted to use the Henan incident to fight the growing Chu Party in the DPRK, but he didn't expect so many things to happen in the DPRK and China in the past month or so. Just ten days ago, news came from Fujian that the negotiations with Zheng Chenggong had broken down, and Zheng Chenggong actually sent troops to attack the Fujian Naval Division. Now that the internal and external troubles of the imperial court are all in place, the government must be stable at this critical time, and in order to stabilize the government, the idea of replacing the cabinet with the military aircraft department must be put aside.
