Chapter 181: If you are not the king of the Zhu family, the world will attack it!
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 This is true of the people, and even more so in the court.
Chen Di had a letter on his desk. The person who wrote the letter was a foreigner named Zhang Rui in the household department. At the beginning of the letter, Chen Di was first touted a lot, and then suggested that Chen Di abolish the emperor and stand on his own feet and change the dynasty!
This Zhang Rui was originally from a lifting background. Because he didn't pass the middle jinshi, he only got a position as a scribe in the household department. When he was nearly sixty years old, he spent a lot of money to climb the brother-in-law of Yan Song's housekeeper, and he became half of Yan Dang. He worked hard again, and at the age of sixty-two, he finally made up for the seventh rank of the household department.
Zhang Rui has always boasted of being a great talent in governing the world, and as a small seven-grade sesame official, he felt that he had no talent. Helplessly, Daming has a strict official system, and a person like him who is from a good background has risen to the top to achieve the seventh grade. Until the Flying Tiger Army blockaded the capital, Xia Yan and his party fell, and Chen Di held the world's soldiers and horses in his hands and controlled the internal and external defense of Gyeonggi, Zhang Rui seemed to see an opportunity, an opportunity to get ahead!
In Zhang Rui's view, Chen Di holds the military power in his hands, and it is only a matter of time before the emperor is abolished and self-reliant! As long as he writes to Chen Di in the morning and persuades him to establish himself as the emperor, won't he have the merit of founding the country? So, there is this letter that is now on Chen Di's desk.
Yan Song came to Chen Di to discuss the selection of cabinet members, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that Chen Di's expression was a little wrong.
Yan Song asked, "Di'er, it seems that you have the word 'anger' written on your face now." What's the matter, who made the Metropolitan so displeased? ”
Chen Di handed the letter to Yan Song.
Yan Song read the letter and frowned. In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the one who was most unwilling to see Chen Di abolish the emperor and stand on his own was Yan Song!
Now that Emperor Jiajing is under house arrest, Yan Song thinks that he, the head of the cabinet, is already at the helm of the Ming Dynasty! He didn't want another emperor on his head!
Chen Di asked Yan Song: "Father-in-law, do people in the world think that I want to abolish the emperor and stand on my own?" ”
Yan Song nodded: "The hundred officials in the capital are talking about it in private. I advise you, don't learn from Wang Mang! The emperor who abolishes himself and stands on his own will not end well in the end! What is the final outcome of Wang Mang? What happened to Zhao Kuangyin in the end? What is the final outcome of Wu Zetian? One was killed, one was killed by his own brother, and one rebelled and abdicated from old age! ”
Chen Di nodded and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I never want to leave a stench in the history books for ten thousand years!" I mean, detain Zhang Rui immediately. In addition, please father-in-law, you order, Taichang Temple to open Taimiao, please come to Zongtai Temple to worship ancestors! ”
The Taimiao on the east side of Tiananmen Square enshrines the tablets of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
July 15, the 25th year of Emperor Jiajing, the Midyear Festival. Emperor Jiajing opened the temple to worship his ancestors, and all the officials above the seventh grade in the capital were present.
Emperor Jiajing was like a puppet, crying and worshipping his ancestors. Under the spiritual position of the great grandfather, he secretly said in his heart: Grandpa Tai, Chen Di is plotting rebellion, and now it seems that he wants to seize the Ming Dynasty. If your heavenly spirit is knowledgeable, please send down the heavenly thunder to kill Chen Di, who is plotting to usurp the throne!
After worshipping the ancestors, Baiguan and Emperor Jiajing were about to leave the Taimiao, but Chen Di led a white horse and walked slowly to the center of the Taimiao.
It was a great disrespect to lead a horse and walk in the Taimiao, but at this time, who dared to say that the governor of the capital who held the military power was disrespectful?
Chen Di first knelt down and bowed to Emperor Jiajing, then got up and said to the hundred officials: "Everyone, I want to ask you to read a letter first!" ”
Chen Di ordered Ren to transcribe Zhang Rui's letter several times, and he distributed these transcripts to the hundred officials of the imperial court.
After seeing it, all the officials were shocked! Chen Di, the governor of the capital, is now in power, and it is not uncommon for him to abolish the emperor and stand on his own.
Chen Di said loudly: "If everyone thinks that I, Chen Di, will abolish the emperor and stand on my own!" Joke, I led troops into the palace and blockaded the capital to protect the emperor's safety! Arresting and killing traitors is for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty! I will never do anything that is not good for the emperor and the court! ”
Emperor Jiajing listened to Chen Di's words, and scolded in his heart: "Good for you Chen Di, what you say is better than what you sing." ”
Chen Di ordered again: "But just yesterday, a foreigner named Zhang Rui wrote this letter to me, instigating me to rebel!" Come on, bring Zhang Rui up! ”
Two soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army carried Zhang Rui to the front of the Taimiao.
Chen Di ordered loudly: "Zhang Rui, the spiritual position of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty is above, can you be guilty?" ”
Zhang Rui originally wanted to shoot Chen Dadudu's fart, but how did he know that he was slapped on the horse's leg?
Zhang Rui nodded and confessed his guilt busily: "The lower official is guilty, and the lower official is guilty." ”
Chen Di nodded: "It's good to know the guilt, come on, drag out of the noon gate and put it to death!" ”
"Governor, don't, the lower officials are loyal to you!" Zhang Rui screamed and was dragged down by the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army.
Chen Di said loudly again: "Today, I will swear an oath with you to kill the white horse in front of the emperor and in front of the ancestors and ancestors!" ”
Chen Di knelt down in front of the Taimiao. Seeing Chen Di kneeling, the officials of the court also knelt down with interest.
A soldier of the Flying Tiger Army drew his waist knife and plunged it into the neck of the white horse! The white horse fell to the ground with a bang.
Chen Di said in a loud voice: "Chen Di and his colleagues swore an oath in front of the temple of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!" If it is not the Zhu family and the king, the world will attack it, and the end will be like this horse! ”
The hundreds of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army standing around the Taimiao also shouted: "If it is not the Zhu family but the king, the world will attack it together!" ”
Seeing this, Yan Song immediately took the lead and swore an oath with a hundred officials: "If you are not the king of the Zhu family, the world will fight together!" ”
Emperor Jiajing let out a long sigh of relief. His own throne, Daming's Sheji seems to have been retained. In the future, although I can only be a nominal emperor, it is better than letting people change the dynasty and lose the foundation laid by our ancestors!
Chen Di did this to tell the world that he Chen Di would never usurp the throne! Everything he does is for the sake of Daming!
After the oath of Taimiao was completed, Chen Di returned to the Horse Mansion.
In the Horse Mansion, Old Butler Yan was anxiously waiting for him.
"Master, something is wrong!" Yan Lao Butler said.
Chen Di asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Old housekeeper Yan said: "The princess went to Fuqing Temple this morning to burn incense, and Liang Erhei and Mrs. Fang accompanied her. After burning the incense, she won't go down the mountain! Said to serve the Buddha in the temple for the rest of his life! ”
Chen Di was stunned: "Waiting for the Buddha for life? ”
Old Butler Yan said: "Yes! The princess was still pregnant, and Mrs. Fang was afraid that something would happen to her, so she also lived in the mountains to accompany her! ”
Chen Di smiled bitterly: "Hey, let her go!" ”
Those who have accomplished great things since ancient times must bear the pain of betrayal and separation from their relatives!
Wait until the day when the Ming country is rich and prosperous, Xiaoyan, you will finally understand my Chen Di's hard work!
For the well-being of the people in the world, what can I do even if I am a lonely person?
