Chapter 177: There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust.
The cold and soft voice made Zhu Qiyu feel that it was a hideous and snowy short dagger that had been unsheathed, and the tip of the dagger was against his throat, making Zhu Qizhen feel as if as long as he made a wrong reaction, then, his fate would be no different from dying on the spot.
Don't forget, Zhu Qiyu's throne was passed to him by Zhu Qizhen on his own initiative, there was a thing where Zhu Qiyu didn't see the emperor, and then he appeared in the dirty one who plotted to kill the crown prince, and now, the queen mother hanged herself, even if she didn't leave a word, anyone would point the finger at Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu was horrified and suddenly discovered that the foundation for his ascension to the throne as emperor came from the two people he hated, Zhu Qiyu's edict of succession, and the support of the empress dowager.
And what he is doing now is a typical example of ingratitude, although he Zhu Qiyu is already the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, but, in just half a year, the bad things he did have caused the dissatisfaction and disgust of the vast majority of courtiers, if the emperor really hanged himself, this unfilial crime will definitely become the last straw that bends the camel's back.
Thinking of this terrible consequence, Zhu Qiyu's legs couldn't help but weaken, and he fell to the ground and knelt in front of the empress dowager's knees. "The queen mother, the son, the son is willing to listen to the mother."
"Okay, the emperor hurry up, this is in the court hall, you are the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, if you do the right thing, the queen mother will support you, understand?" The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth finally showed a hint of relaxation, and she raised her wrist to help Zhu Qiyu, who was bowing to the ground with a pale face, and said slowly.
Then, the Empress Dowager turned her face, glanced at the ministers and shouted: "Your Majesty has promised to allow the crown prince to go to Xuanfu, perform filial piety in front of the emperor's knees, and be taught by the emperor, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Hearing this, even if Zhu Qiyu hadn't opened his mouth yet, almost all the civil and military officers fell to the ground with excitement on their faces and shouted.
"The mourning family is not wrong, right? Emperor. The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Zhu Qiyu's face again, revealing a gentle and reserved smile. In those three shouts, he looked so arrogant, and he was in control.
"The Queen Mother is right, I agreed. The Cabinet immediately drafted its order. Zhu Qiyu is too lazy to talk nonsense, the hole cards are already spread here, and he doesn't have any possibility of winning at all, so why bother to find himself unhappy?
-------------------- "became a ......" Lao Wang exhaled a long breath, and his old hands and feet climbed up from the floor of the hall again with the help of Yu Qian beside him, but the soreness on his legs and feet could not prevent his face from showing a happy and happy expression.
And Yu Qian also had a relieved expression, although this result is not the best, but after all, it is better than letting the crown prince stay here, Yu Qian has secretly linked those rumors with the murder of the crown prince in his heart, which is why he will stand on the opposite side of the Son of Heaven.
He didn't want any more terrible turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, besides, what today's son did really seemed so inauthentic, not to mention others, even Yu Qian secretly slandered in his heart.
Under the supervision of the Empress Dowager, this bill became a will as quickly as possible, and was passed, and the Son of Heaven issued an edict to appoint Shi Heng's nephew Shi Biao as a general to escort the crown prince to Xuanfu.
Zhu Qiyu was extremely unhappy in his heart, and was about to refuse, but he didn't want to, Yang Hong's recommendation happened to follow the queen mother's wishes, everyone knows that Shi Heng is the favorite general of today's son, and that Shi Biao is his nephew, let him escort the crown prince, speaking of which, the queen mother is really a little uneasy.
And Yang Hong recommended Yang Jun, who is Yang Jun? He is a well-known tiger general among the younger generation, and he is also the elder brother of Yang Xin and Yang Neng, who have already served under the command of Emperor Taishang. Yang Hong has been in Xuanfu for nearly 20 years, and his prestige is unmatched, and among the three Yang brothers, Yang Jun has been fighting with him for the longest time, and his merits are the most famous, and he has a lot of prestige in Xuanfu.
He went with the crown prince, at least, with Yang Jun by his side, what Shi Biao wanted to do, he had to think about it, and he could clean up Yang Jun. I believe that when the time comes, the Emperor Taishang will naturally have the means to leave him behind, and such a tiger general will definitely be able to make Zhu Qizhen add another help.
When the Empress Dowager opened her mouth, Zhu Qiyu could only stare dryly, and humiliously respected the meaning of the Empress Dowager, and the old Yang Hong retreated from the station, stroking the snow-white long beard, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh in his heart.
In Yang Hong's view, today's son, who is now sitting on the dragon chair, is far inferior to the Emperor Taishang who is far away in Xuanfu, whether it is his bearing or what he does. Now, because of selfishness, he frequently offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and after coming to power, he didn't do what he should do, but he did a bunch of things that shouldn't be done.
Look at the Emperor Taishang, since he was captured, he has learned from the pain, his heart has changed greatly, he has become heroic and decisive, and he has a lot of responsibility, the scene under the city of Xuanfu, as long as Yang Hong closes his eyes, he feels vivid.
The same is true under the city of Datong, and the city of Jingshi is even more desperate to be trapped by the enemy, and said such words, which aroused more than 100 civil and military forces, 200,000 old and weak soldiers, and millions of gentry and people.
Now, the rift between the ministers and the current son is becoming more and more obvious, and even the Empress Dowager has stood up regardless of the majesty of the heavenly family, you can imagine how bad this situation is.
Since Yang Hongzhi entered the court, he has been watching coldly, the more he observes secretly, the more frightened he is, thinking about everything that the emperor has done, and then linking it to what the son of today has done.
Such a stark contrast, not to mention the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty standing nearby, even if it was the gentry and common people of the Ming Dynasty, there were a few people who did not open their eyes, think about the words about the legend of the Emperor Taishang that spread in the market, think about the Emperor Taishang killing Liu Shanzhong to demonstrate to the Son of Heaven, killing a eunuch in Xuanfu, subduing the civil and military affairs of Xuanfu, and winning the support of the people of Xuanfu, so that the officials of the world praised each other.
Now, the Emperor Taishang has won another battle, and it is a big victory that makes everyone lean towards the side of the Emperor Taishang, not only taking the crown prince over, but also pulling the civil and military officials to his side.
This battle not only made Dangzi's prestige suffer another setback, but also made people connect with the prince's murder case that happened before, and once they contacted each other, even if they didn't do it today, no one would believe his innocence now.
It was precisely because he saw this scene today that Yang Hong made the final decision to let his eldest son Yang Jun also leave Jingshi, at least, based on his keen intuition for many years, he didn't think that if the emperor wanted to do something, this son of today could stop it. As the old saying goes: there is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. Enough to say it all.
If Zhu Qizhen did all this with intention, then I am afraid that there is only one purpose. "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. This should be the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, this should be the emperor of China......" Yang Hong took a deep breath and sighed secretly in his heart.
-------------------- "Zhen'a, are you better?" Concubine Zhou sat in front of Wan Zhen'er's couch, looking at this best sister in the past, looking at her haggard and beautiful face, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and countless indescribable touches.
Looking at the beautiful and lovely Concubine Zhou in front of her, the true feelings on her exquisitely maintained face, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but struggle and showed a faint smile. "Thank you for your concern, the slave is fine."
"Zhen'er, why are you still like this, I have always regarded you as a good sister. Don't you even want to call your sister? Concubine Zhou couldn't help but say angrily, and raised her hand to tuck the corners of the quilt for Wan Zhen'er.
“…… Sister, thank you for coming to see me. Wan Zhen'er bowed slightly, hesitated again and again, and finally said this title. Hearing this, Concubine Zhou couldn't help but smile. "That's right, good sister, it's really hard for you, if it weren't for you, the prince would be ......" As soon as she said this, the smile on Concubine Zhou's face couldn't help but disappear, and it was replaced by a frightened expression.
"Sister, don't say such a thing, in fact, if you want to thank you, it is the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager who should be thanked." Wan Zhen'er looked at this ignorant Concubine Zhou, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart, she didn't know anything, perhaps, this is also a kind of happiness, but she did it for the Queen Mother, for His Royal Highness the Prince, and even more for the Emperor. Thinking of this, Wan Zhen'er's haggard face couldn't help but show a trace of imperceptible gloom.
However, after listening to Wan Zhen'er's words, Concubine Zhou couldn't help but nodded, with a face of piety and worship. "Yes, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager to be in charge, my sister and the crown prince, where would there be any way to live, alas, it's just that poor His Royal Highness the prince, I haven't seen Your Majesty for almost a year, and I don't know if Your Majesty is thin or fat."
"I went to look for the Queen Mother a few times, but I was always stopped, and I don't know what happened to the Queen Mother, she is the most distressed about Your Majesty. However, even His Majesty's children did not come to see him. Speaking of this, Concubine Zhou couldn't help but plump her lips ruddy and gently skimmed, revealing a sour feeling.
Seeing that Concubine Zhou was still as unscheming as in the past, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but smile gracefully, she had been by the side of the Empress Dowager for a long time, and she had already known that the Empress Dowager was now enjoying happiness by the side of the Empress Dowager, so she could only open her mouth and persuade lightly. "Although my sister doesn't know why the Queen Mother is like this, but thinking about it, there must be some very important reason."
"This is also ......" Concubine Zhou said with a slight bow, just when these two sisters in the past, the master and servant of the present were chatting quietly, with an excited face, Wu Gongcheng, the henchman of the Empress Dowager who was holding the yellow silk holy decree, led a group of guards and rushed towards the palace......
