The attitude of the little prince, not only Yang Chengzu couldn't figure it out, but even several door officials couldn't figure out the situation. No matter what, this is also the Chitose Mansion of King Zhou, a dignified and noble family, do you still use it to sell a small brocade official face? If Jiang Bin is close to him, he has a hundred households, and he can use it?

How do these people know that now in the study of King Zhou's mansion, Zhu Mumuxuan, the king of Zhou, is facing a white-haired old man in front of him and said, "Master Nian save me, Master Nian, you must save me." Xiao Wang is confused, greedy for a little profit, following Gong Huaien, wanting to make a small fortune, God knows that he will cause such a disaster. ”

That young man is a local Confucian, once let go of a term of academic politics, and now retired to the forest, is a Taishan Beidou-like figure in the Henan literary circle, and is a pair of literary friends with this Zhou Wang on weekdays. He still has many disciples in the Jingshi, and he is very well-informed, I saw him put a letter on the table, gently tapped it with his hand, and put it on the side is the manuscript that Yang Chengzu took.

That manuscript is actually not surprising, it is the unmasking posted by those beggar disciples in the streets and alleys of Henan, King Zhou had seen a few copies originally, and he didn't care, but just ordered the subordinates of the palace to tear them up. If there is no young master, this post may not attract much attention, but now the young master's face is solemn and his tone is extremely serious.

"Chitose, the old man and you have been friends for many years, there are a few words, you must tell you in the clear place, otherwise you are not worthy of being called a friend. The letter from Jingshi, you have already read it, the heavenly family is angry, the content of the exposé is really a taboo of the heavenly family. And the content of this time is different from the previous white-clothed thief, and it mostly involves the heavenly family**, the secret affairs of the palace, which are not known to the people. I don't need to say much about what is involved. ”

In the Ming Dynasty of this era, there is no systematic concept of public opinion warfare, but no one dares to underestimate the power of the saliva cannon among the people, after all, the root of the tongue crushes people to death, which is a point that no one can deny. During the last rebellion of the white-clothed thieves, although Zhao Sui also ordered people to post posters everywhere, most of the content was superficial. Compared with the level of shrews scolding the street, it is not so smart, at most, it is said that Zhengde trusts traitors, uses non-human beings, and so on.

But this time, he had a nose and eyes, saying that he was not the heir of Xiaozong, but the son of Empress Dowager Zhang who was raised from the outside, pretending to be the emperor's bloodline. There are also a lot of palace secrets mixed in, which is full of dry goods, the more cultured, the more you have to ponder and ponder, how does this thing feel a bit like the real thing?

You must know that the current bloodline theory is still a very popular theory, the common people surrender to the Son of Heaven because he is a true dragon bloodline, if your bloodline is not true, why should we support you? And being able to make up a lie with such a nose and eyes can only show that the person who makes up the lie is also a person in the circle, and this is not a nonsense that Zhao Sui and other turtles can come up with.

Furthermore, it is meaningless to deny the bloodline of Zhengde alone, he is not you and is not, what is the use of just denying him? After a little speculation, it can be concluded that the mastermind behind this exposé incident is likely to be within the Zhu family, which has made the reputation of the Son of Zhengde Emperor, and he can take the opportunity to come out and replace him. After all, the vassal king is also surnamed Zhu, and it is not impossible to have a second appeasement.

It is said that Zhengde was furious after reading this post, called Jiang Bin and beat him up, and rewarded him with 100 taels of gold and 10 pairs of jade, and asked him to solve the case quickly. And the suspect target is the vassal kings of various places.

The senior member of the Beijing division knew that his mentor had a good relationship with the king of Zhou, for fear that he would be involved in the rebellion case, in that case, the great means would not be able to save people, and I am afraid that the teacher's life would be in danger. Therefore, I specially wrote to explain the past, hoping that the teacher could cut and draw a clear line with King Zhou in time.

But he didn't expect that he would be old and refused, so he refused to turn his back on his old friend, but deliberately came to the door to report the news, so that he could prepare for the inspection in Beijing.

An empty shelf prince like King Zhou, if you want to say that there is no shortage of gold and silver treasures, but the authority is very limited. What I am most afraid of is being remembered by the powerful in the capital, and I really dare not make friends less, and I dare not make more enemies.

He also knew that the legitimacy of the current emperor came from Yongle Jingnan, and he was most wary of other princes doing the same, and he also usurped his own country, so he was very strict against the vassal king. The honor guards of the palace have been transferred from their own to the command of the military guards, and the armed forces of the palace are only left to decorate the façade and prevent the existence of thieves, and the real combat power is not worth mentioning.

Something like this kind of unmasking, once it is stained, it is a layer of skin, and if it is not good, it will be sent to the high wall of Fengyang to count the sparrows, and he was scared into a cold sweat. When I heard that he was fried with Gong Huaien and Cao Bang Henan Daxiangtou Jin Changling together, he hated iron for a long time and said:

"Chitose, how many lifetimes of savings have you had in the Zhou Palace, and you are rich and noble, do you just need those few little money to live? Hiding food, hoarding it, and inducing popular unrest are not clear to you? If you do it on weekdays, you will do it, and the old decay will not say anything about you. ”

What is the situation now, Jiang Bin is about to arrest someone for the crime, and he will finish the case at the imperial court, and these exposés are often in Henan, do you think he will let you go? Let me tell you again, the old man has a relationship in the governor's court, and he has found out, Jin Changling's crime is rebellion, in the yamen of his inspection department, he found the confession document that he commanded as the second rank of the Henan General Army, but no one can be found in the following payment, don't you say that you rushed to get this charge yourself? ”

When King Zhou heard the news, everyone was frightened and lost his pulse, and just at this time, Yang Chengzu sent this exposé post in. As soon as he heard that it was Jinyiwei, and he heard that it was for this, Zhou Wangden felt that a great disaster was coming, and he grabbed Nian Wangjiu and said: "Nian Weng save me, Nian Weng, you must save me." ”

"Chitose don't worry, according to the efficiency of the imperial court, it is impossible to be so fast, I guess this Tiqi must have other needs." But no matter what, you can't offend him right now, don't look at him as just a small hundred, behind him is the entire Jinyi Yamen. If you are slow down with him, you are slow down with the Jinyi Yamen. This kind of little person is not successful enough, and he has more than enough failures, as long as he hands a few words of slander in front of Jiang Bin, and when handling the case, he says a few bad words, and you are afraid that there will be a big disaster in the palace this week. ”

The more King Zhou listened, the more he felt reasonable, and he couldn't help but think of the unfortunate virtues of the king of the feudal domains during the Jianwen period, how could he dare to underestimate the unfortunate virtues of the vassal king, so he was busy with the prince of Zhou to greet him, and sent a few outstanding maids in the palace to serve. He himself was accompanied by Nian Wangjiu, and finally went to another study to meet customers.

Yang Chengzu is very polite, although the tea is the best new tea, the melons and fruits are all of the highest quality, and several handmaidens are also well-behaved and lovely, which can be called beautiful, but he does not squint, sits upright, and does not have the slightest presumptuousness, which makes Zhu Qinxu have a good impression of him.

He has been trained since he was a child and knows how to deal with people, and after sitting down, he asked: "Brother Yang, your prestige, Xiao Wang has already heard of it, and I wanted to be close to you, how can I do this body...... You saw it too. I don't know what the world brother has to say when he comes this time? ”

"Your Royal Highness, you are too polite. The lower officials are here to ask for something, and they don't dare to take the word teaching. I am here to ask for the lives of thousands of people in Henan's eight provinces, and also for the king of Zhou, to think of a way out, not to be alarmist, now the situation of the palace is precarious, a little careless, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen. I also hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will turn Chen Chitose and let Chitose make a decision as soon as possible. ”
