Zhu Youzhang's expression was very solemn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This conspiracy involved the envoys of the vassal state, the cabinet ministers, the eunuchs in the palace, and even Wantong, a 'relative of the imperial family'.
Almost everyone is a particularly sensitive person.
If this matter is announced to the public, it will definitely be a big scandal, Zhu Youzhu is already close to running out of oil, and there is not much time left, so he naturally does not want this scandal to be publicized.
But what about these people?
He felt a little embarrassed, he squinted, his sallow cheeks twitched slightly, his hand couldn't help pressing on his leg, he raised his head for a long time, and said slowly: "I want to be quiet, all of you stand down." ”
Of course, everyone knows what the emperor is thinking at the moment, Xie Qian lost his soul at this time, thinking about the emperor's body, listening to Zhu Youzhang's words, the six gods glanced at Zhu Youzhu and left without a word. Xiao Jing followed behind Xie Qian, and Liu Ji was taken away by several captains, Liu Chengfeng turned around to leave, and Zhu Youzhu suddenly called him: "Liu Aiqing, you stay, I have something to discuss with you." ”
Liu Chengfeng stopped, obedient and solemn.
When everyone had retreated, Zhu Youzhu sighed and said, "I can't think of it...... I can't imagine that this matter is so widely implicated, I really can't imagine it......" He pressed his hand: "You sit down and talk." ”
Liu Chengfeng sat down according to his words, he had already noticed at this moment that the emperor's body was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty doesn't have to hurt God, people are good and bad, this person's heart is separated by the belly, although Your Majesty is a saint, but occasionally there are places that cannot be seen, it is also a matter of course, no matter how holy the son of heaven is also obscured by the annihilation of the ministers, it is understandable that Your Majesty does not notice it for a while." ”
"That's ...... words," Zhu Youzhu said in a worried tone, "But how to deal with this matter?" If this matter spreads, rumors will inevitably spread all over the world, involving so many people, do I want to follow the example of Emperor Taizu? ”
When Zhu Youzhu said this, Liu Chengfeng chuckled in his heart, the so-called imitation of Emperor Taizu is actually the rise of a prison, after all, so many important people are involved, these people collude with each other, and the rebellion is almost the same, if the court goes down the vine, I don't know how many people are involved, and God knows how many people will fall to the ground.
Liu Chengfeng said with a straight face: "Your Majesty Shengming, you must have an idea in your heart, and Weichen doesn't dare to say more." ”
Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but smile, looked at Liu Chengfeng and said: "You still know my thoughts, it's okay, they have made enough trouble, this case doesn't need to be investigated, but how can I explain it to the world?" ”
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Zhu Youzhang, and immediately understood Zhu Youzhang's thoughts at this time, and followed Zhu Youzhang's thoughts and said: "Weichen thinks that this case has come to an end, and nothing has happened. ”
Zhu Youzhu frowned: "But shouldn't these rebellious ministers and thieves be punished?" ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "Punishment is naturally wanted, but it can be changed to another name." ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhu understands what's going on, the cabinet ministers colluded with eunuchs, imperial relatives, and vassal envoys to murder court officials, and this matter must be covered. But how to punish or how to punish, but this crime has to be replaced.
He squinted his eyes, but felt that what Liu Chengfeng said was a good strategy, and he said lightly: "That Wang An is easy to do, let Xiao Jing deal with it, there are lonely souls and wild ghosts in the well in the palace, let Wang An go and accompany them." ”
The word companion is a little cold, for those unruly eunuchs, Zhu Youzhu has always been polite, and his words have already decided Wang An's life and death.
At this moment, Zhu Youjiao, full of slaughter, killing is a common thing for an emperor, the so-called power of life and death, if you don't give life and don't give others benefits, how can you let others die, but if you are blindly benevolent, only people will be grateful to you, but you can't make people fear you, if you can't take everything from you, you can't deprive you of the right to live, how can you be awe-inspired.
When he said this, his tone was both flat and unexpectedly indifferent, and then, he continued: "As for Liu Ji, he has already written to ask for his resignation a few days ago, and I have left his resignation in the middle, and now the surname Suo has allowed him to return to his hometown, let him live for a few days for the time being, and then let him be dealt with by someone after he returns to his hometown." ”
The so-called disposition will never carry the slightest tenderness, and some will only be brutal and bloody.
Liu Chengfeng nodded approvingly, and said, "Your Majesty's handling is really appropriate." ”
Zhu Youjiao's eyebrows tightened: "It's just this Wantong, what should I do?" If I don't punish him for a righteous crime, if I kill him, I'm afraid it will cause rumors. ”
Liu Chengfeng said without hesitation: "To deal with Wantong, naturally you don't have to dirty Your Majesty's hands, and Weichen can do it for you." Liu Chengfeng's eyes also swept a trace of cold light, and he made a gesture of cutting his neck with his hand, and said, "It must be neat." ”
Zhu Youzhu nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you." But what about the Monan tribes? What should Liu Aiqing do? ”
Liu Chengfeng was silent for a while at this time, and after thinking twice, he said: "Weichen has an indescribable relationship with Saikan Khan, how to deal with them, Weichen does not dare to discuss it, it is all up to His Majesty." ”
Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said, "It's okay for you to say, there's nothing to shy away from, your heart is towards me, I naturally know." ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "I still have a place to use the Monan tribes in the Ming Dynasty, and I still need to borrow them to contain the tile thorns. Now that they dare to conspire and make trouble in Beijing, Weichen thinks that they can't give up easily, but they can't make too much trouble. ”
Zhu Youzhu said thoughtfully: "Yes, to master this degree, this is also the most difficult place for me." ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "Actually, it's simple, go and negotiate with them secretly, let them hand over the assassins, all of them will be executed in secret, and then beat them the grounds that the annual tribute they have paid is insufficient." Let the Xuanfu side get ready, with a posture of wanting to do something to Mo Nan at any time, and at the same time send an envoy to the Saikan Khan tent to warn her and ask her to send an envoy to apologize. Saiban Khan is a smart person, she will never be willing to risk the enemy on her back and turn her face with me, she has to be low if she is not low. ”
Zhu Youzhu sighed and said, "This method is good, so let's do it." You go and call Xiao Jing and Xie Qian in to talk. ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded, and the two of them just answered each other, in fact, they had already put this matter over, and from then on, everyone involved in this matter would block the news, and no one mentioned Zhou Cheng's death, and the next thing to do was just how to cover the lid.
There was already a tacit understanding between Zhu Youzhu and Liu Chengfeng, and Liu Chengfeng went out to call Xiao Jing and Xie Qian in.
Zhu Youzhu took a sip of tea, glanced at these two people, then retracted his gaze, closed his eyes and said: "Spread the will, Jinyiwei went out without authorization, without my permission, went to the street to take people at will, the crime is unforgivable, but I read that Jinyiwei commanded Liu Chengfeng has just taken office, and he still doesn't know the rules, so he doesn't add the crime, but if he commits it again from now on, the two crimes will be punished together, and I will definitely deal with it severely." From now on, all the people in Jinyi and Wei will be withdrawn, and no one will be allowed to stay. ”
Liu Chengfeng fell to the ground, and said, "Weichen obeys." ”
Zhu Youzhu tapped the coffee table with his hand and continued: "Remember this lesson today, do you know?" I have said that everyone must leave, whether it is Wantong or Liu Ji, or Honglu Temple, no one is allowed to stay. ”
Liu Chengfeng's face was calm and calm, and he said, "Weichen dares to disobey his fate." ”
Zhu Youjiao's face showed a pleased smile and said, "That's fine." ”
His gaze began to shift to Xie Qian, and said: "Xie Aiqing, I have a will, your cabinet must be drawn up immediately, scholar Liu Jian, after three dynasties, since I succeeded to the throne, he has been working hard, presiding over the cabinet for more than ten years, hard work, can be described as hard work, last year, I sympathized with his old age, let him rest at home, originally expected him to be able to retire in his old age, enjoy the joy of family. However, the affairs of the DPRK and China have been busy recently, but I am afraid that this thought will not be able to fulfill my wish, so I ordered him to enter the cabinet on duty from tomorrow, and let him enter the palace early in the morning, and I still have orders for him. ”
Xie Qian understood, Liu Jian was now officially reinstated, but at this time, his mood did not improve because of this good news, and he just said earnestly: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Zhu Youzhu looked at Xiao Jing again and said, "After this will is drawn up by the cabinet, there is no need to send it to me, you can directly approve it, and it will save time." ”
Xiao Jing's mind is complicated, Liu Jian's entry into the cabinet, he doesn't know whether he is happy or sad, he can only take one step at a time, he hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”
Zhu Youzhu raised his face again, and said: "As for Liu Ji, a cabinet scholar, he has always told me recently that he is unwell, I think about it now, he is now nearly eighty years old, and he is indeed old. ”
What Zhu Youzhu said was polite, but everyone's hearts were very bright, Zhishi was just Liu Ji's first step, and the matter was far from over, but it was only a temporary end.
