Chapter 184: Prince Fu Shengyi was grounded
Wei Qianbing's risky move was actually certain.
The emperor had four sons and five daughters, and the fourth son died without any children. No matter how King Han and King Zhao made trouble, he never made a ruthless move, also because of the thin heirs.
Princess Yongping's concubine Li Rang always supported King Zhao to fight for the crown prince before his death, and the emperor also knew it.
So what the emperor hates is not Princess Yongping and his son helping King Zhao, what he hates is to turn this matter out, on the contrary, the one who can make him not punish his children and save face for his father and emperor is a hero.
In the year of the relocation of the capital, the emperor set up the East Factory dominated by the internal courtiers, which was initially managed by several big eunuchs in turn, and then gradually concentrated on the internal courtier Huang Yan.
If Huang Yan finds out about this matter first, he will not be stabbed in the court, because he can report it directly to the emperor. But the criminal department is different, Wei Qian must go to the fold before he can inform the emperor of this matter.
Therefore, the emperor will not be angry with the criminal department.
Although Wei Qian's face was expressionless, he never let go of the change in the emperor's face, he wanted to see if he was right in his bet: "Meng Xian conspired against the case, Princess Yongping and the Marquis of Fuyang were involved, and the matter was serious, and the minister had to report it." ”
"You're right...... As long as it is a rebellion, I will not spare it! ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that the Meng Xian case had been closed last winter, and the ministers thought that it was not appropriate to cause another incident, so as not to cause further turmoil." The crown prince was bitter in his heart, but he had to protect his sister Yongping.
Zhu Gaochi has become more and more obese in the past two years, and his diet has been reduced as much as possible, but he can't lose weight. Fortunately, he stood in the first row and did not need to move around to speak.
"You're saying that as long as the case is closed, there is no need to track down the fish that slipped through the net?" Zhu Di asked with some annoyance.
"That's not what Erchen meant......"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you have protected King Zhao and Yongping, do you want to show that you are magnanimous and have the style of an eldest brother, or do you have nothing to do with them, you wrote and acted ...... yourself" King Han said without thinking that it was a big deal.
Before the prince could reply, the emperor roared in a row of dragon cases: "Enough!" ”
In the sixth year of Yongle, the prince was in charge of the country for the first time, and since the eleventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di has frequently handed over state affairs to Zhu Gaochi, and the three sons have restrained each other, and they are happy to balance, but the king of Han directly catches the wind and shadows in the court, which he cannot tolerate.
"Your Majesty, although this matter involves the royal family, I am afraid that it cannot be easily let go, and the wind of rebellion cannot be fueled......"
Before Zhu Di could see who the minister who spoke clearly, he heard an unfamiliar voice say:
"Emperor Qiyu's grandfather, Zhan Pei thinks that Princess Yongping is the imperial prince, but Li Maofang, the Marquis of Fuyang, is an outsider, and the aunt is a woman, even if she knows a little bit about it, she may not know that it is powerful, and the Marquis of Fuyang is the culprit, if the evidence is conclusive, the imperial grandfather should take Li Maofang to blame."
All the ministers are sideways: The grandson of the Sixth Emperor is young, and he can even play a round game, and Li Maofang is an outsider? He's not your cousin?
But Zhu Di on the dragon chair was overjoyed: Yes, Li Maofang's surname is Li, it is said that he is indeed an outsider, punishing Li Maofang, Yongping can also be regarded as a lesson, which can be regarded as a compromise. This King Lu Cheng is quite a bit of a brain.
"Good! Huang Yan, I order you and the Criminal Department to be jointly responsible for this case, verify the evidence, and imprison Li Maofang! ”
"Please make your father's destiny! Although Li Maofang is not surnamed Zhu, he is the son of Yongping, and he also has Zhu blood. Can you ask Yongping about this matter and then discuss it...... "The crown prince still wants to struggle, after all, the good old man between brothers has been doing it for many years without doing it.
"Is this how you manage the government? Indecisive and indecisive. Go back to your East Palace and be grounded for three days, think about it, what is wrong with you?! ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and stood up, and the ministers said in unison: "The emperor is wise!" ”
Wise? Just be wise.
"Retreat!"
Zhu Zhanpei breathed a sigh of relief, although the imperial grandfather did not directly praise himself, but from his own suggestions, it can be seen that today's limelight is right. Uncle can really help him succeed.
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Zhanpei, didn't say anything, and together with Zhu Zhanjun, stepped forward to support his father, who was unable to move.
"Father, I ......" Zhu Zhanpei said with a guilty face, of course he had to whitewash himself in front of his father.
"Well, it's none of your business, and there's nothing wrong with your ideas. Let's go back. ”
Zhu Gaochi really didn't mean to blame his son, he was still young, and some words were not well thought out and blurted out, which is also there, just hone and hone more.
Out of the main hall, the prince's soft sedan chair was already waiting outside, and several sons watched their father leave, and they all walked towards the palace gate.
Zhu Zhanyong is the second son, he didn't regard this sixth brother as a compatriot, and turned back to Zhu Zhanpei who followed behind:
"Sixth brother, speak with a little brain in the future. In order to show off for yourself, your father was grounded, are you a donkey brain? Can do such a thing. If my father is not good, we will not be much better. ”
"Third child, don't say it. My brothers are arguing in the palace, do you want everyone to see our jokes? Second Emperor Sun Zhu Zhanjun stopped.
"I didn't scold him, I scolded the stupid donkey!"
Zhu Zhanpei slowed down, deliberately distanced himself from them, and the hand in his sleeve clenched his fist tightly: You all remember for me, I, Zhu Zhanpei, will always have a day when you can't climb high!
Before the crown prince returned to the East Palace, the news that he had been grounded for three days had reached the ears of the crown princess, and Zhang took a few talented people to greet him at the palace gate.
"What are you doing here? I don't know, I think I've got a great reward! Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "It's just a three-day rest, and Gu Zheng is so happy that he doesn't have to go out." ”
The crown princess was afraid that His Royal Highness the crown prince would be in a bad mood, but when she saw him telling jokes, she was relieved. The soft sedan chair that used to support him also smiled: "I will add more meat dishes to you today, it is your favorite elbow." ”
"Ouch, I'm going to die of it...... Hurry up, take me to it! ”
The crown princess is very strict with Zhu Gaochi's diet, according to the methods of the imperial doctor, less meat and more vegetables, eat less and eat more meals, but Zhu Gaochi's obesity has not been significantly curbed.
On that day, the imperial physician came to ask for Ping'an Pulse, saw Jiaxing playing with stones, and suggested paving a pebble path, so that the crown prince could walk barefoot on it every day to dredge the plantar meridians.
The gravel road was paved this morning, and the prince was grounded.
Fortunately, it's only been three days, and it is estimated that the emperor feels that he has no face to be refuted by his son, and he is not really annoyed.
"Pei'er has not been taught strictly since childhood, no big or small. It's also your fault, why did you let him go to court so quickly? The crown princess complained in a low voice while serving the prince vegetables.
"Fast? When the eldest was ten years old, his imperial grandfather let him go to court. Zhu Gaochi didn't care very much, but now he cared more about the elbow in front of him.
"Can this be compared?" Zhang rolled his eyes at him.
"It can't be compared, vegetarian dishes just don't taste as meat!"
