Chapter 613: The content of the edict
After sighing, Ji Ruhuan frowned again, "Then what now, do you want to take out this edict?"
She knew that the Nine Emperor Uncles did not have the ambition to be the Ming Emperor, and she did not want the Nine Emperor Uncles to sit in this position.
Dugu Chiyan pursed his lips and replied, "Let's see when the time comes." ”
Ji Ruhuan lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "If it really doesn't work, it's nothing to take it out, it's a big deal that you can pass on the throne to the third prince or the sixth prince." ”
Dugu Chiyan nodded, "Let's act when the time comes." ”
Since it was decided to go directly to the palace to arrest people, it was natural to make adequate preparations, so in the afternoon of the same day, it was rare for King Xian's Mansion to gather many important ministers from the court.
Those courtiers and important ministers all stepped into the Xianwang Mansion with serious expressions, because when the Xianwang Mansion invited them over, they said that they had important matters to discuss.
The third prince of Jifu was imprisoned in the palace, they didn't know about it, and now as soon as King Xian and his wife came back, they went to the palace to ask for someone.
The emperor was released in a proper manner, but I am afraid that this matter is not just a matter of letting people go, and everyone guesses that this virtuous king is afraid that he is going to make a move.
There were more than a dozen important ministers of the court sitting in the main hall, and King Xian's wife sat in the first place, and he didn't intend to avoid anyone, so King Xian spoke directly, "I called everyone here today to arrest the traitor Song Qiangde of the Ming Dynasty, and the former queen Yu Tianfeng, who colluded with the fake appearance. ”
It wasn't to deal with the emperor, everyone was a little surprised, but when they heard that it was about arresting traitors, Wang Shangshu was the first to ask in surprise, "But they have news?"
Dugu Chiyan nodded in response, "Exactly, you may think it is incredible to say it, these two people are now hidden under our noses in Kyoto." ”
The criminal department Shangshu replied suspiciously, "It's impossible, we're almost turning the bottom up in Kyoto, where can they hide, not on the ground?"
Wang Shangshu touched his beard, "It's not impossible, have you forgotten the tunnel dug by the liar national teacher at the beginning?"
The criminal department Shangshu denied it again, "It is absolutely impossible, after the original tunnel, the emperor ordered to search all over Kyoto, that is, for those tunnels in Kyoto, and now there can be no more tunnels in Kyoto for them to stay." ”
Ji Ruhuan interrupted them loudly, "Kyoto has been turned upside down by us, and there is no place for them to hide, but we have neglected a place. ”
Without waiting for Ji Ruhuan to finish speaking, Wang Shangshu had already guessed, "Palace?"
Then he shook his head again, "This shouldn't be possible, how can these traitors hide in the palace?"
Marquis Mu, who was sitting at the end of the seat, sighed and answered, "My son and his scholars have been sent to the northern realm, what else is impossible?"
As soon as Mu Houye's words came out, everyone closed their mouths, and the expressions on their faces were very complicated.
In the end, it was the older Chen Ge Lao who broke the silence first, sighed and spoke, "That's the traitor who almost killed the first emperor and completely wiped out our Ming Dynasty, how can you, Your Majesty, how can he? It's just a tiger skin." ”
Speaking of the back, Chen Ge Lao was already angry, and the others were also full of indignation when they thought about what the traitor had done at the beginning, and they were even more annoyed when they thought that these people were still hiding in the palace under the protection of the emperor.
But that's the emperor, no matter how angry they are, what can they do? Are they rebelling like a traitor?
So everyone looked at King Xian with expectant eyes, since King Xian summoned him, there must be a way to deal with this matter?
Seeing that all eyes were focused on them, Ji Ruhuan spoke, "When the first emperor was seriously ill, he seemed to have foreseen it, and perhaps he also felt that it was difficult for His Majesty to take on the important task now, but it was already ready to fly, and there was no more suitable candidate in the royal family, so that His Majesty could successfully inherit the unification, but just in case, His Majesty also left a testament to me and Princess Xinyi alone." ”
Elder Chen Ge nodded, and said, "The emperor mentioned this matter to me once or twice, and for fear of being questioned by the outside world, His Majesty deliberately kept two copies, and Princess Xinyi and the master of Fengyang County had one copy. ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department replied angrily, "That is the case, the county lord of Fengyang and Princess Xinyi will take out the edict and tell the world, such a heinous traitorous thief, the emperor dares to cover up and hide in the palace, such a character, how can he be worthy of a great responsibility in the future, but we can't let the Daming that we have saved so hard to be buried in the hands of such a person." ”
Don't blame the Criminal Department Shangshu to be so angry, the four princes and Song Cheng Xiang killed people everywhere in order to eliminate dissidents, and the victims were the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department, he and his wife and children did not have the master's old mansion at that time, but they escaped a catastrophe, but his parents were killed in that fire, and the hatred of killing his father and mother, how could he not be angry?
As soon as the criminal department finished speaking, many people echoed it, and now most of the important ministers in the court have experienced the rebellion and survived the most difficult time of the Ming Dynasty, and then it was the first emperor's bloodbath after the court's blood change, and then the important ministers were selected.
It is certainly impossible to say that they are completely selfless, but at least they are all righteous people in their hearts, and they absolutely cannot tolerate someone in the Ming Dynasty to shield those traitorous thieves who are extremely guilty, even if that person is the saint of today.
"The first emperor was in the prime of life, and he died early, all because the priest of the Great Zhou who pretended to be the prime minister of our Ming Dynasty sent someone to poison His Majesty by pretending to be a national teacher. ”
"Your Royal Highness, just say it, and tell us what you want us to do. ”
When asked about himself, Dugu Chiyan answered, "Since they are traitors who have committed heinous crimes, they can't be allowed to continue to go unpunished, and now it is imperative to arrest all the traitors hiding in the palace first." ”
Chen Ge Lao agreed, "That's the reason, let's not talk about the rest, this traitor must be arrested first, but this traitor is hiding in the palace, and it must be a long-term plan to arrest people, but King Xian has a plan in his heart?"
Dugu Chi Yan pursed his lips and responded, "I called you here today to inform you, so that everyone will misunderstand, we are entering the palace to catch traitors, not rebellion." ”
Chen Ge Lao took the lead and responded, "No, King Xian only takes action, and the rest of the things are left to you to do, what do you think?"
Everyone immediately chimed in, "Chen Ge is right, King Xian only cares about action, and we will not have any objections whether it is the courtiers of Kyoto or the people of Kyoto." ”
After receiving the assurance of everyone present, Dugu Chiyan responded with a fist clasped and said, "Then I will bother you." ”
Everyone returned the salute, and Chen Ge Lao took the lead in responding, "King Xian doesn't have to be so polite, this is what we should do." ”
