Zhu Cheng waved his hand to the ministers and said: "All the princes present are well-educated people, and they should have read the enlightenment book "Twenty-four Filial Piety". I remember that there is a story in the book about Lao Laizi entertaining his relatives, which is very interesting. ”

The ministers saw that Zhu Cheng suddenly talked about "Twenty-four Filial Piety", a little inexplicable, Gao Panlong smelled the smell of danger, and was about to interrupt him, when he suddenly heard Zhu Youzhen say happily: "I know this story." ”

Then, Zhu Youzhen began to tell the story of Lao Laizi's entertainment. It turned out that when Lao Laizi was seventy years old, in order to make his parents happy, he deliberately wore a baby's spotted clothes and hats, played with rattles, danced with his hands, and pretended to be a child's innocent and lively demeanor. Sometimes he deliberately carried the water, staggered into the hall, in front of the old man, pretended to slip, the bucket overturned, he turned his back to the sky, lying on the ground and learning to cry, that funny appearance made the old man laugh.

Zhu Cheng said: "Is Lao Laizi a play?" ”

The ministers shook their heads in unison.

Zhu Cheng continued: "The emperor lost two close relatives in a row, and he was depressed, and when Ah Jian saw it, he was anxious, and he was dreaming about how to comfort the saint. One day, Ah Jian flipped through the books and happened to see a section on Lao Laizi's entertainment, and thought of a way to solve problems for the emperor, which was to build a theater for the emperor and use drama to comfort the emperor. Ah Jian paid out of his own pocket to build a theater for the emperor, and sang a song for the emperor on the stage. The emperor is Ah Jian's elder brother, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, Ah Jian learns from Lao Laizi and comforts his brother with singing, this is the twenty-fifth filial piety of the Ming Dynasty, and it should be vigorously promoted, how can you insult the emperor's younger brother with such a humble word as the play? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was very moved when he heard this, and his eyes were a little moist. He strode down the jade steps and hugged Zhu Youzhen tightly. The two brothers recalled the hardships they had experienced over the years, and couldn't help but burst into tears, hugging their heads and crying.

Gao Panlong's heart sank, knowing that his plan might fail again today.

Zhu Cheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to participate in Gao Panlong's book, but seeing the true feelings of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhu Youzhen, he didn't want to spoil the harmonious atmosphere, so he opened his mouth and didn't say anything about impeachment.

An imperial historian quietly moved to Gao Panlong's side and said, "Lord Gao, you sent me to Jingxi Huangzhuang to investigate a few days ago, and now there are results." ”

Gao Panlong's heart was already like ashes, and when he heard Yushi's words, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?" ”

Yushi took out a piece of ivory from his bosom and handed it to Gao Panlong. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that only officials above the fifth rank were qualified to take the ivory court wat to the court, and the imperial history only had seven grades and was not eligible to take the court wat , so this piece of court wat was specially prepared for Gao Panlong.

Gao Panlong took the Chao Wat, his eyes swept the fly-headed Xiaokai on it, and he couldn't help laughing.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse blushed when he heard Gao Panlong laughing. As the landlord of a dynasty, he should have been happy and angry, how could he show his fragile side in front of the ministers, hug his brother and cry?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse let go of his younger brother, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the sleeve of his robe, and said angrily: "I am grateful for what my brother has done, even if there is a little gaffe, it will not make you laugh like that." ”

Gao Panlong was overjoyed because he found evidence of Zhu Cheng's guilt, and when he heard the emperor's blame, he didn't panic, and said: "Weichen is laughing at the saint who was deceived by Xiao Xiao. Zhu Cheng said in the court that he was out of the blue, but his wolf ambition had already been exposed, and he asked the emperor to go to Jingxi Huangzhuang, under the pretext of planting vegetables for His Majesty, but in fact, he was accumulating strength there and plotting a rebellion. ”

When the ministers heard this, they talked about it. Regarding Gao Panlong's impeachment, many people scoffed, how old is Zhu Chengcai, just thinking about rebellion? Besides, Zhu Cheng didn't expect to go to Jingxi Huangzhuang at first, you forced him to give Zhu Cheng the food at home as military food, which made Zhu Cheng go, how can he beat him up now?

Gao Panlong saw that everyone didn't believe it, and said angrily: "I have long seen that Zhu Cheng is secretly disobedient, and sent people to monitor Jingxi Huangzhuang, and now Zhu Cheng is recruiting soldiers. ”

Zuo Guangdou is a rare upright gentleman in the Donglin Party, and he has always been a helper who does not help his relatives, so he interjected at this time: "The emperor gave Zhu Cheng a position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but did not give him a soldier and let him go to recruit soldiers by himself, which is a well-known thing. ”

"But there are still things you don't know," Gao Panlong raised the Chao Wat in his hand and said, "Do you know the number of troops he recruited?" 10,000 people. 10,000 people, placed in Jingxi, which is only 20 miles away from the capital, what is this not a rebellion? ”

The ministers were amazed, this Zhu Cheng was a little too bold, and he actually recruited 10,000 troops under the emperor's nose, which is a felony to kill the head in any dynasty and generation.

Zhu Cheng was also secretly frightened, these Donglin Party members are really powerful, although Jingxi Huangzhuang was not guarded like an iron bucket by himself, but it was not much worse, they were able to show that they had recruited 10,000 soldiers, it seems that the reputation of the Donglin Party as an insider in the civil war is really not covered. Thinking of this, Zhu Cheng was even more disgusted with the Donglin Party, always guarding the side like a poisonous snake, and taking a bite while he was not paying attention, who could stand it.

Seeing that Zhu Cheng hadn't spoken, Gao Panlong thought he had grabbed his handle, and his hand was about to point to the tip of his nose, and said, "Say, use your reed tongue to quibble." ”

The imperial historian who went to investigate the Jingxi Huangzhuang dragged Gao Panlong behind and said, "Lord Gao, be careful with your fingers." ”

It turned out that this imperial historian was the one whose finger was broken by Zhu Cheng a few months ago, and when he saw that Gao Panlong was going to repeat the same mistake, he hurriedly reminded him.

Gao Panlong said: "It's okay, I want to use my own blood to prove Zhu Cheng's treachery and my loyalty to someone." ”

Although he said so, Gao Panlong had already retracted his hand.

Zhu Cheng was secretly glad that he had admitted his mistake to the Emperor of the Apocalypse in advance and obtained his understanding, otherwise once Gao Panlong detonated the bomb of "expanding the conscription" in the court, even if he was protected by the holy decree of the Wanli Emperor, he would probably not be able to escape death.

Zhu Cheng glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, saw the acquiescence in his eyes, and said, "Lord Gao, a product like you should not be qualified to see such a high-end product as the secret decree." ”

Gao Panlong said: "Don't talk too fast there, just say anything you want, see if the emperor doesn't believe you." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The emperor is worried about the situation in Liaodong, worried that there are not enough soldiers there, I heard that the first emperor once praised me for my good training, and specially issued a secret order to me, asking me to recruit another 9,000 soldiers for Jinyiwei." Now that the nine thousand households have been selected, they will soon return to Jingxi Huangzhuang with us to lead the soldiers. The emperor also specially appointed me as a military training envoy to train the brocade guards stationed in the imperial village. ”

Gao Panlong said: "What about the secret purpose? Show me. ”

Zhu Cheng smiled: "I want to see the secret purpose, haven't you ever seen such high-end goods?" ”

Gao Panlong impeached Zhu Cheng to death this time, either he died, or he was dead, if Zhu Cheng couldn't come up with evidence, he would win, and he couldn't care about Zhu Cheng's sarcasm, and said: "Even if I want to see high-end goods, you can take it out." ”

Zhu Cheng said mischievously: "I won't show you, I'll kill you." ”

When the ministers saw Zhu Cheng showing a naughty childish expression, they couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Youzhen knew that Zhu Cheng couldn't come up with the secret decree, so he pulled the sleeve of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The Emperor of the Apocalypse understood, and said, "I have indeed issued such a secret decree, Gao Aiqing does not need to doubt it. ”

Gao Panlong, like a gambler with red eyes who had lost a loss, shouted at the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "What about the secret decree, I haven't seen the secret decree, I don't admit that the emperor has issued this decree." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "The emperor's edict is not a secret decree? This kind of thing is meant to be kept secret, how can it be written on paper, you are so stupid. ”

Gao Panlong collapsed to the ground.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to let Gao Panlong go, but when he saw him rude just now, he was angry in his heart, and he was not polite at the moment, and said: "Gao Aiqing is impeaching Zhu Cheng to death, falsely accusing him of sitting back, left and right, taking off Gao Panlong's official robe and putting him in prison." ”

Zhu Cheng said in his heart, I still have a book in my heart, I have prepared ten major crimes, and I am ready to fight Gao Panlong, but I didn't expect him to fall. didn't push him off the cliff with his own hands, and it was really a little bit of a sense of loss.
