Chapter 250: The Queen Mother wants to kill Weichen
Xie Yaohui left the imperial study lonely.
Prince Yu hurried into the palace again.
He is a member of the royal family, not to mention the elders, and he is an auxiliary minister designated by the first emperor, and he has a lot of face in front of Emperor Jiaxing.
Before his death, the first emperor appointed five auxiliary ministers, which had a deep intention to balance the power of the court. Therefore, Prince Yu did not take Emperor Jiaxing's suppression of Liang Xinming seriously, and thought that the court forces should contain each other, and if the new emperor obeyed Liang Xinming's words, then he should really be vigilant.
But now, he can't care about checks and balances anymore.
He broke into the imperial study, and the eunuchs didn't have time to report, and faced the Jiaxing Emperor after the imperial case, he solemnly asked: "Does the emperor know what he is doing?" ”
Emperor Jiaxing saw that his expression was extraordinary, and he also said solemnly: "I know very well! ”
Prince Yu said: "The emperor really knows? ”
Jiaxing Emperor: "......"
Is this still the emperor?
He suddenly felt like a puppet!
Prince Yu said: "During the reign of the first emperor, the White Tiger royal family rebelled, involving the Vermilion Bird royal family and the Xuanwu royal family.
"Wang Heng and Liang Xinming, Zhongyi Gong, Xuanwu Wang...... Which one is the pillar of the country, if one falls, the Dajing court will shake a few times, and the emperor will uproot them! Does the emperor really know what he is doing? ”
Emperor Jiaxing couldn't help it any longer, Huo Ran got up, slapped the red sandalwood book case, and roared: "Prince Yu is so towards them, what did Liang Xinming promise you?" I forgot, Prince Yu's descendants flourished. Is this an attempt to replace me? ”
Prince Yu stammered.
Emperor Jiaxing shouted: "Someone! ”
A eunuch dodged into the house.
Emperor Jiaxing said: "Spread the decree, depose the title of Prince Yu, reduce it to the common people, and the descendants of Prince Yu are all banned except for women!" ”
Prince Yu didn't expect him to have a sudden seizure, and he actually took his title, and his hands and feet trembled with anger. He is a royal nobleman, he has no ambition, but he is the most protective of the royal interests, so he has been valued by two generations of emperors, and he has been a free prince for decades, and he has also saved up a body of majesty, and now he is over sixty years old, who would expect that the evening will not be guaranteed!
The emperor is simply dizzy!
Even if you refuse to accept advice, there must be a process of relaxation, right? Suspect him for no reason, the prince's title will be abolished, isn't it dizzy?
No, it's demon-possessed!
The Dragon Guard was ordered to drag the Honored Prince.
Prince Yu was furious, and he didn't choose to speak, "Faint king! If you insist on going your own way, the country of Dajing will be ruined in your hands! ”
This is nothing less than adding fuel to the fire.
Emperor Jiaxing was even more determined to deal with him.
Emperor Jiaxing was not angry with Prince Yu, but really panicked: the five auxiliary ministers, Wang Heng and Liang Xinming's life and death are unknown, Chen Xiuwen was detained by King Xuanwu in Northern Xinjiang, and the rest of Xie Yaohui and Prince Yu didn't look at him, but spoke for their opponents, how could they not make him panic?
King Xuanwu's anti-heart is obvious!
Zhongyi Gong also openly confronted the imperial court!
Why can't they see it?
……
Emperor Jiaxing felt embattled.
He urgently recruited Lu Chang to discuss countermeasures.
As the emperor, he felt that he was weak and urgently needed to win over a group of new imperial parties to fight against the old ministers left by the previous emperor.
Lu Chang hurried over.
Emperor Jiaxing asked, "Why did you come?" ”
The voice was a little dissatisfied and impatient.
Lu Chang bowed down calmly and said, "Weichen has seen the emperor. Then he raised his head, his eyes were like stars, and he looked at Emperor Jiaxing with concern, wearing a green official uniform against his fair face and handsome figure, full of spring.
Emperor Jiaxing's anxious heart calmed down.
Lu Chang asked: "What is the emperor worried about?" ”
Emperor Jiaxing told Prince Yu about it.
Lu Chang said: "The emperor should be cautious, and it is good to imprison Prince Yu's one." However, the minister thinks that Prince Yu's words are not unreasonable. ”
Emperor Jiaxing frowned, "Aiqing, what do you mean?" ”
Lu Chang said: "The Xuanwu royal family has lasted for hundreds of years, and the Wang family is even more of a great family, if you want to eradicate it, it is indeed easy to shake the country's foundation." ”
Jiaxing Emperor said: "Do you want to let them go like this?" If they don't follow the law, how can I rule the world? ”
Lu Chang said: "Of course you can't let it go, but there may not be no better way, not only does not hurt your muscles and bones, but also uprootes the big trouble." ”
Emperor Jiaxing hurriedly asked: "What way?" ”
Lu Chang talked eloquently: "The various branches within the family are also like the court and each other. The emperor's two wills before forced the loyal and righteous prince and the king of Xuanwu to expose their rebellion. They openly oppose the imperial court, but they are disloyal to their ministers, and they are not benevolent to the emperor. The imperial court naturally has to deal with it, but it does not have to destroy the nine clans. For example, the Xuanwu royal family can get rid of Zhang Boyuan's branch and promote the side branch to inherit the title. Doesn't it seem that the emperor is magnificent? And how much effort has been saved, there is no need to bother to plan, just let the Zhang family fight among themselves, and easily eliminate a civil strife. ”
Emperor Jiaxing's eyes lit up, "Wonderful! ”
Lu Chang smiled and said, "The same is true of the Wang family. ”
Emperor Jiaxing said happily: "What about the Zhongyi Mansion? ”
Lu Chang's expression was slightly cold, and he said: "The title of the Zhongyi Mansion has only been passed down for two generations, and there are only three rooms in total. The old lady in the second room is not married, which is equivalent to an heir. This person does not fight for fame and fortune, and is ruthless, but he has always been loyal to the Loyal Mansion. Therefore, the people in the Zhongyi Mansion are very harmonious, and there is no gap to be found! ”
Emperor Jiaxing said coldly: "Then except!" ”
Lu Chang nodded and said: "In addition to the Fang family, there is also a benefit: the Fang family is rich and rivals the country, and the Fang clan has copied all the big and small Fang clans, which can fill the treasury and deduct half a year's tax from Dajing!" ”
Emperor Jiaxing excitedly said: "Good! ”
Lu Chang took out a notebook from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said in his mouth: "This is the list and resume drawn up by Wei Chen, and the emperor can reuse it as appropriate." ”
Emperor Jiaxing hurriedly took it and looked at it.
There were forty or fifty people in total, and the first name was Jianfan. Others involved the six ministries of the imperial court and the state capitals of Dajing. Locally, officials from Gyeonggi and Jiangnan are the most important cities, the main cities of north-south and east-west transportation, and key passes, and their positions, if drawn up, will be like spider webs.
Lu Chang said softly: "Since ancient times, they have been a son of heaven and a courtier. Who the emperor is willing to use and who he is accustomed to using is up to the emperor's will. Only a few years after the first emperor ascended the throne, how many officials did Wang Heng and Liang Xinming kill in Jiangnan? Like Song Zhixian, Gao Chun, Meng Yuanxiang...... After Liang Xinming entered Beijing, he shook the sky and shook Yue, and Zuo Duanyang and Lin Xiaotian were all beheaded; She also impeached five copies in a row in the Golden Palace, with a minimum of three grades. Compared with the wind and waves of the year, these things are nothing now! ”
Emperor Jiaxing browsed the excerpts, closed them with a "snap", raised his head, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he said excitedly: "I am not afraid!" ”
He's going to establish one of his own courtiers!
Lu Chang looked at him and smiled and nodded.
Emperor Jiaxing asked: "What is Aiqing laughing at?" ”
Lu Chang said: "The emperor is magnificent! ”
Emperor Jiaxing felt the confidence he had never had, took the fold, and beckoned Lu Chang to sit on the kang, and the monarchs and ministers drank tea relatively in a leisurely atmosphere.
Emperor Jiaxing asked, "Why did Aiqing put Jian Fan first?" ”
Lu Chang was just about to speak, but the eunuch suddenly reported: The Queen Mother has arrived. Lu Chang was stunned, followed by a sinking heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is afraid to kill Weichen." ”
