Chapter 133: Twin Acts of Misfortune (2)
Let's say that Yen Hong has realized because of Yuan Ying's words, and these days will screen the court from the Pavilion Marquis to the prince one by one, and he will lock the suspicious people.
In the imperial study, Yuan Hong and Rencheng Wang Yuancheng sat together, and Jiang Yinqi, the general of Yulin Zhonglang, stood on one side.
Yuan Hong's face was solemn, and he said: "Uncle Huang, although there are many 'mountain marquis' in the court, but none of them are clan ministers, and among the eight sect chiefs, only Liu Enkun is titled Yinshan Marquis, according to the emperor's uncle's opinion, Liu Enkun can have the courage to defy the sky?" ”
Yuan Cheng pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, Liu Enkun is arrogant, brave and unscrupulous, but he likes to gather parties for personal gain. In the early years, when the Empress Dowager was alive, because her father had accompanied Gaozong to escort the battle, her brother was promoted to the Marquis of Yinshan, and later because her brother died violently and had no heirs to succeed to the throne, so Liu Enkun was knighted. ”
After a pause, Yuan Cheng continued: "If you talk about courage, with Liu Enkun's wild nature, it is not impossible, but in terms of wisdom, Liu Enkun has no ability to use tactics. ”
Yuan Hong bowed slightly, and said: "If you follow the words of the emperor's uncle, then there is someone else who has a plan... General Zhonglang, can you find out who Liu Enkun has close contacts with on weekdays? ”
Jiang Yinqi bent down and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Rencheng, the Marquis of Yinshan and the Marquis of Guanzhong, He Zhengming, often drink and feast together on weekdays, and the two have a close relationship. ”
Yuan Hong snorted coldly and said, "He Zhengming? On the occasion of the Qingming Festival to worship the ancestors, he offered fine wine and delicacies to the son, which was ill-intentioned... Here, He Zhengming wooed Zi Sui, and over there, Liu Enkun hired a creeping veteran to kill the king, but the drum corresponded. ”
Yuan Cheng said: "When Your Majesty said this, the minister remembered that Liu Enkun and Nagai Khan were connected by marriage. ”
Yuan Honghu asked, "Oh? The two of them are connected by marriage? I only remember that Liu Enkun's wife is the eldest princess of Liuzhang, the youngest daughter of Emperor Jingmu, I wonder if I am wrong? ”
Yuan Cheng said: "Your Majesty has a good memory, but Liu Enkun's wife is the eldest princess of Liuzhang, the fourth daughter of Emperor Jingmu. Emperor Jingmu also had a young daughter, whose mother was Zhang Huanglong, and later because Zhang Huanglong was given to the king of the plains, this young girl was only named the lord of Pingle. ”
After a pause, Yuan Cheng continued: "This Pingle County Lord is the same age as the eldest princess of Liuzhang, and the two have a deep relationship with each other. ”
Yuan Hong said: "I see, no wonder I don't know that they are connected. ”
Hearing Yuancheng's words, Jiang Yinqi said: "Your Majesty, King Rencheng, it is not difficult to explain why Mu Yunu is willing to use those mercenaries for the Marquis of Yinshan. ”
Yuan Cheng nodded and said, "Liu Enkun and He Zhengming are bold, and now that they have insight into their treachery, what is Your Majesty's plan?" ”
Yuan Hong locked his eyebrows and said, "It's not difficult to bring these two people to justice, but I don't know who else is involved?" ”
Turning his head to look at Jiang Yinqi, Yuan Hong then asked, "Do you have any news from the people you sent to Pingcheng?" ”
Jiang Yinqi lowered his head and said: "The Yulin Lang followed the Guanzhong Marquis all the way into Pingcheng, but I didn't see anything suspicious about it, but... It's just that he sent a dancing girl in the house into the West Palace to dedicate to the prince. ”
Yuan Hong's face was gloomy, and he said: "When Zi Sui set off for Pingcheng, I ordered him to go with his left and right children, and the prince only said that he was reluctant to let the left and right children travel and horses, and he never thought that it was because of this dancing girl!" ”
After a slight pause, Yuan Hong asked again: "Can the Zhongshe people and the Zhongshu send back a letter?" ”
Jiang Yinqi got the Gao Rong Flying Pigeon Legend, knowing that these days were in the West Palace of Pingcheng to drink and feast day and night, and be happy every night. Although he knew that if the emperor heard this news, he would provoke the anger of the Dragon Court, but Jiang Yinqi did not dare to deceive the king. Hearing the emperor's inquiry, he gritted his teeth, and Jiang Yinqi told Yuan Hong all about Gao Rong's book.
Jiang Yinqi's voice was about to fall, and Yuan Hong was already furious: "Zi Sui returned to Pingcheng to study for the matter of opening a cave and engraved Buddha, but he unexpectedly coveted pleasure, this is disloyal to the minister, and unfilial piety for the son!" ”
Yuan Cheng knew that Yuan Hong had high hopes for Yuan Sui, and now he knew that his wanton behavior must be like a mountain, so he was relieved: "Your Majesty is angry, the prince is benevolent, and your Majesty is loyal and filial, after all, the prince is young and Xu is a whim, Your Majesty must not be angry and hurt the dragon body." ”
Yuan Hong said: "Zi said, 'The blood is undecided, and the precept is in color.'" 'The prince is now the time to study and progress, if he is greedy for the love of men and women every day, how can he grow! He Zhengming and Liu Enshan are bold and reckless, their people are sinister, their hearts can be punished, these two people can never be spared! ”
Looking at Jiang Yinqi, Yuan Hong said sharply: "Spread my will, escort Zi Sui back to Beijing, He Zhengming and Liu Enshan will be abolished as concubines and sentenced to the punishment of being beheaded, all men over fifteen years old in the clan will be sentenced to Shen Yuan, and those under fifteen years old will be sentenced to exile, and all female dependents will be enslaved, and the clansmen will never be allowed to marry." ”
Yuan Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty is angry!" Although He Zhengming and Liu Enshan deserve to die, His Majesty is now carrying out the Han Revolution, and there are already people in the Eight Divisions who are panicking. ”
Bowing to the ground, Yuan Cheng raised his head and said: "Your Majesty concealed the matter of killing the monarch that day and did not announce it in order to stabilize the political situation of the court, but now it is only because He Zhengming presented a dancing concubine to the prince and ordered his clan to sit together, and the eight clansmen will not be able to obey, Your Majesty will think twice." ”
Seeing that Yuan Hong was silent, Yuan Cheng knew that the emperor must have listened to his words. After sorting out his thoughts, Yuan Cheng then said: "Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs, how can you bear the name of slaughtering the clan for these two people?" And now is the time for His Majesty to carry out the Han Revolution, if those old relatives and nobles reject the Han Revolution on this ground, will not the progress of the work be wasted? Those who kill kings will never be spared, but Your Majesty must be famous. ”
Although he motioned for Yuan Cheng to stand up, Yuan Hong only groaned. The room was silent, except for the sound of cicadas chirping outside the window.
After a pillar of incense, Yuan Hong opened his mouth: "It's not worth it for the two of them!" ”
Looking at Yuan Cheng and Jiang Yinqi, Yuan Hong said: "Guanzhong Hou He Zhengming served fine wine and food on the occasion of the prince's ancestor worship, which is a crime of violating the ancestral system and disobeying the monarch. The relatives of his clan, those who are over fifteen years old, both men and women, are exiled to Mobei, and those under fifteen years old are demoted to commoners and can live in Luoyang. ”
Yuan Cheng lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is so decisive, He Zhengming was imprisoned for violating the ancestral system, which not only does not give the eight clansmen a chance to disagree, but also can cut off his delusional thoughts." ”
Yuan Hong said: "Uncle Huang just reminded me that since I can't make the matter of killing the monarch public, I can't condemn these two people for no reason. Liu Enkun has no plan, if the mastermind is really He Zhengming, then he is imprisoned, and Liu Enkun is like a man with feet of mud; If not, we can also temporarily stabilize the hearts of Liu Enkun and his henchmen, and I will definitely wipe them out in one net. ”
Yuan Cheng said: "Your Majesty is wise, bow down!" ”
Yuan Hong said again: "The prince is unruly and indulgent, so he will be recalled to Beijing immediately, and he will be warned!" ”
Yuan Cheng said cautiously when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince of the country, if he is punished by His Majesty with a cane, how can he face the ministers in the future!" ”
Yuan Hong said: "Since Zi Sui is the prince, he should know his responsibilities, if he likes to work hard and does not want to improve, how will I hand over this country to him in the future?" ”
Yuan Cheng saw that Yuan Hong's mind had been decided, and he didn't dare to say more, so he only responded in unison with Jiang Yinqi.
The three monarchs and ministers made detailed plans and arrangements for the matters discussed, and they did not elaborate on them.
After the discussion, Yuan Cheng and Jiang Yinqi had just left, and Sanbao hurriedly entered. After saluting, the three treasures said: "Your Majesty, the rest hall is out of the water..."
