On the eighth day of the lunar month, it has been several days since the emperor returned to the royal city of Haojing. The dust along the way has been washed away, and the spirit looks much better.

Last year's Laba was a beauty pageant in the Mingguang Palace, and I vaguely remember the smiling faces of those women who tried to ascend to the sky in one step.

Hmph, think beautifully. Ji Fansheng felt that he was really determined, and he had not lost his heart in the face of so many warblers and warblers.

After some deployment, Hengying was finally brought into the palace, and the decent Yun Jieyu was sealed. It's the title of Yun that makes others crazy with jealousy.

A few days after he came back, except for greeting the Queen Mother when he just came back, he didn't see anyone, and stayed in the Guande Hall to breathe.

It's really tiring to fight, although it is blood and bravery, but what is lost is the spirit and spirit.

Xiao Dezi didn't dare to disturb each other on the side, and the ministers who asked to see him came in waves, but they were all blocked back.

Wangshu, the high priest of Qintianjiao, did not accompany the army this time, and fought Jiao in Fengming Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, and when he heard that the emperor was triumphant, he hurriedly rushed back from the mountains.

After doing the ritual, Wangshu left in a hurry, saying that Yuzhishan was a little strange this year and wanted to investigate.

The Queen Mother also heard the news, and the expression on her face became more and more unsightly.

She sighed frequently, making the color ink around her more and more uneasy.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the emperor was finally willing to come out to the court meeting, and the first thing to deal with was the rebellion case of the four princes.

After the four princes were escorted back to the capital, they were imprisoned in the prison. Solitary confinement under acceptable conditions.

Good food and wine are served, and there is nothing to say about the success or defeat of the king, after all, it is also the royal bloodline, and everyone in the prison does not dare to slack off.

The fourth prince was tough, didn't make trouble or shout, and even went on a hunger strike.

Yuzhou Mu didn't have such a good treatment, he was locked up with more than a dozen felons, and they all looked fierce and vicious, where did he suffer such a crime, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged.

The jailer was still on the side and said: "O person who falls here, let him die at once, often stiffen his neck and still be able to bear it, the most afraid is to live and suffer slowly, and I don't know when it will be finished." ”

When Yuzhou Mu heard this, he lost his heart, he was originally a young master from a rich and noble family, and his great-grandmother was also a princess.

Although it has not been valued by the royal family for several generations, it can be regarded as a person who can enter the office, wait to be an official, and be promoted to the position of state pastor year by year, which is really not easy.

In early summer, when the fourth prince suddenly appeared in Jingyang City, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Lying in the dark cell, smelling all kinds of pungent smells, he desperately thought of a way out, was there really a way out?

He slapped his head violently, "Oh, what a momentary confusion." ”

When the emperor came out, the ministers consciously shut up, and after two battles, the emperor's ability was recognized, some were respected, some were afraid, and some were full of worship for the god of fire, and then they were convinced that the emperor was the son of the god of fire.

Of course, there are also some old ministers, relying on their seniority and relying on the political arena for many years, they can't help but be a little contemptuous, a little suspicious, and a little disapproving of the young emperor.

The case of the four princes has not yet been tried, and everyone has been discussing it for several rounds.

After all, in terms of the legitimacy of the succession, the four princes have a natural advantage.

Even if the tiger has fallen in Pingyang now, the truth can still be discussed.

Sure enough, as soon as the emperor sat down, Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites took his place and asked in a loud voice: "The old minister has a book to play." ”

"Wait, I have something important today, and my ministers don't want to play. I'll wait until I'm done with this matter. ”

"Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's words, the four princes can't be killed." Yang Shangshu took a step forward and crawled on the ground and howled.

The emperor coughed lightly, and Jing Yun, the eunuch of the case, said in a loud voice: "Yang Zongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, lost his honor in front of the palace, and dragged out of the hall with a Jin Ge warrior with a staff of twenty. ”

The Jin Ge warrior in front of the hall stepped forward and dragged Yang Shangshu out, and he still waved his arms desperately, struggling.

I still wanted to shout, but I was already covered by the samurai.

I only heard the sound of whining, and it kept coming.

At that moment, a few timid ministers began to tremble.

It has been a while that the emperor no longer scolds his subordinates in court, and it was about after Yun Jieyu entered the palace that he was much calmer.

Although the ministers were very dissatisfied with Yun Jieyu, this unexpected benefit also made them relax their tense nerves.

Unexpectedly, the emperor who won the battle became more and more temperamental, and he was even more willful than last winter.

"I hate my own subordinates the most, Yang Shangshu will make an example today, Zhaowen Hall is not a place where anyone can go wild.

What we have to discuss today is a matter of the utmost importance. You all think about it carefully, how to reply is the duty of the subordinates, and what to do to be worthy of being loyal ministers and good generals. ”

Emperor Xuande sat on that throne, his eyes seemed to be burning with anger, and the palace maid brought the tray and tea in a timely manner.

He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and eased his tone: "Yuzhou Mu has already confessed everything, that person pretended to be the emperor, and also instigated him to rebel, you all tell me how to deal with it?" ”

Seeing the emperor ask, everyone looked at the left phase in unison.

The left minister has been ill for a long time, and he only returned to the council this summer, and after the right minister was disposed of by the emperor, he has not found anyone to fill in the position.

The master is old, and he always takes leave, Zuo Xiang has to bow down to everything, and after half a year, the illness becomes a real disease, and the cough is added when it is cold, and he can't sleep all night long.

A few days ago, he even coughed up blood, which frightened the concubine who was waiting on the side, but the lady was assertive, and after hearing about it, she quietly invited a doctor, and strictly admonished her family, so that the illness could not be spread.

At today's court meeting, his body is weak, and the charcoal fire of Zhaowen Hall is warm, others are okay, but his sweat comes out first.

Seeing that everyone had seen it, Zuo Xiang could not avoid it, and he said with a strong spirit: "The minister has heard that the Son of Heaven is the chosen son, and he is not allowed to be coveted by others."

Moreover, the royal bloodline has always been noble, how can it be confused, this thief has sinister intentions and should be punished for his laws. ”

Zuo Xiang lowered his eyes, looking extremely deferential.

The emperor glanced at the throne, nodded, and did not speak.

Tan Zhijin, the head of the household, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the left minister is reasonable, and the minister seconded it. ”

At this time, a group of ministers also came out and said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

The emperor still didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little strangely awkward.

Yao Xian, the secretary of the ministry, lowered his voice before he spoke: "Your Majesty is above, Weichen thinks that this Yuzhou pastor has committed a great crime of rebellion, and he dares to climb others indiscriminately when he is dying, which is really hateful.

As for the four princes, please also ask Your Majesty to be light, after all, it is also the blood of the first emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers also nodded in agreement, as if someone Yao Shangshu had given them courage.

Seeing such a situation, Tan Shangshu of the household department came out of the crowd: "Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal, since Yuzhou Mu has a confession, and there are many old ministers here who know the four princes, it is better to bring the thief to the main hall and argue in court." ”

For a while, the crowd was surging and they all thought that it was a good idea to identify in front of the temple.
