Chapter 192: The Zhu Family

On the Jinluan Palace, the birds were silent, and those who were angry at Zhu Bingren just now now all had indignation on their faces.

If his eyes could kill, Pan Changfei had already pierced his heart with ten thousand arrows at this time.

Cao Yi, the secretary of the military department, swept the ministers in the Jinluan Hall with the afterglow of his eyes, muttered for a while, and came out. He first bowed his hand to Emperor Yong'an, "The old minister is a rough man, he can only lead troops to fight, but he also knows that the Zhu family is full of loyalty. Zhu Guozhang was an emperor in his early years and taught the emperor carefully. It's really inappropriate for Master Pan to speak like this, it's really inappropriate! ”

Cao Yi said as he shook his broad palm, as if Pan Changfei was really unbearable to his ears.

As soon as Cao Yi's words fell, he immediately stood up with a four-rank and two ministers from the fourth-grade. These two people were full of Confucius and Mencius, and they all said it, and they blamed Pan Changfei with a sour and rotten atmosphere.

Speaking of emotion, he directly convicted Pan Changfei of malicious intentions and murder of Zhongliang. almost detained Pan Changfei on the spot and put him in the prison of the Criminal Department, which was strictly handled by Dali Temple.

After convicting Pan Changfei of his crimes, the two ministers praised Zhu Xian's achievements in politics for 45 years with benevolence and righteousness.

Emperor Yong'an sat on the dragon chair, looked at the two ministers who were like clowns jumping off the beam, and silently sentenced them to death in his heart.

He has been the emperor for eight years, and this is the first time he knows that in the eyes of this group of ministers, he is Liu Adou who can't be supported. This entire Dashun, separated from the Zhu family headed by Zhu Xian, will have the tendency of the country to be ruined.

King Ning stood in the rank of the ministers, listened to the three ministers speak more and more, covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Although the voice was small, it succeeded in getting the three ministers to silence.

"King Ning, is your body unwell?" Emperor Yong'an asked lazily.

King Ning stood up and saluted Emperor Yong'an, "Erchen just felt that his throat was a little itchy, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. ”

"Hmm." Emperor Yong'an patted the armrest of the dragon head made of gold on the dragon chair with his hand, and said, "You were assassinated in the mansion a few days ago, but you have caught the murderer?" ”

King Ning lowered his head by three points, "There are already some eyebrows." ”

"We will be punished severely!" Emperor Yong'an had three points of anger on his face, and said coldly, "Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that you King Ning is incompetent?" ”

"Yes, the sons and daughters should be strictly watched." Ning Wang said.

Emperor Yong'an looked at Pan Changfei, who was lying on the ground and had not raised his head, and said loudly, "Pan Qing, what those ministers said just now is not unreasonable, I heard you say so." ”

Pan Changfei raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Yong'an, with a straight face on his face, "Your Majesty, the minister is really frightened, the minister didn't expect that the minister only mentioned the Zhu family, which would attract many righteous words from the ministers." Before the minister's words were finished, he was actually convicted of speculation, and he was even exempted from the first trial and the first investigation. Those who know this, know that the minister is the emperor's courtier, and those who don't know still think ......"

"You are presumptuous!" Su Zhao shouted.

Pan Changfei still finished his words, "I don't know, I thought that the minister had done something heinous and messed up the court." ”

Su Zhao's old face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he took a step back and stopped talking.

Emperor Yongan hummed and motioned for Pan Changfei to continue.

Pan Changfei continued, "The minister has secretly checked that the owner behind the Wangjiang Pavilion is indeed surnamed Zhu. Zhu Shangshu's family is full of loyalty, and they must not be able to do such a dirty deed. But since that old bao can arrogantly take out the door number of the Zhu family and not let Weichen take the Oiran Yao'er away, I think that the person surnamed Zhu is also very strong. In Weichen's opinion, if you want to find out the affairs of the Zhu and Liu families, you must first check this Wangjiang Pavilion, and it is good to return Zhu Shangshu to innocence. ”

Pan Changfei's words are reasonable, that is, they are neither soft nor hard, and the mouths of the people who just jumped out to criticize them are tightly blocked.

Emperor Yong'an groaned and said, "I believe in the character of the national abbot, but I also don't believe that the Zhu family in the mouth of the old bao is a Zhu Shangshu. Emperor Yong'an raised his hand and said, "Pan Changfei." ”

Pan Changfei slammed his head on the ground and said, "The minister is here." ”

"I ordered you to investigate this matter strictly, and I will find out the cats in it, and return the Zhu family to innocence. In case of obstruction, "Emperor Yong'an took a sword from Gonggong Feng's hand, stood up from the dragon chair, walked straight to Pan Changfei, handed it to him, and said, "I give you this sword, if you encounter obstruction during the investigation, you can cut it first and then play!" Cao Yi, the secretary of the military department," Emperor Yong'an turned around and said to Cao Yi, "I order you to supervise Pan Changfei, if he frames Zhongliang in the name of this sword during the investigation process, you will directly tie him up to me, and I will clean him up!" ”

Cao Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Pan Changfei kept kowtowing to Emperor Yong'an and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

In the Weiyang Palace of Weiyang Palace, Queen Zhu sat on a low kang with a trace of sadness on her face.

Ziwan took out a plain white handkerchief and handed it to Queen Zhu, persuading, "Niangniang, if you feel uncomfortable, then cry and cry." ”

Empress Zhu shook her head, the phoenix hairpin on her head trembled slightly, "Where are there tears in this palace?" It's just that I think of my father who is seriously ill, and my heart is sad. ”

"Lord Guozhang is auspicious, and he will be fine." Ziwan comforted, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" Maybe when you wake up, there will be good news from the Guozhang Mansion. ”

Empress Zhu still shook her head and sighed, "Where can I sleep in this palace, you can help this palace to see the fifth princess." The fifth princess is so old, and she has never seen her grandfather......"

As he spoke, he choked up.

Ziwan held Queen Zhu's hand and said, "Niangniang, you can ask the emperor to ask the emperor to go out of the palace, take the five princesses, and do your filial piety." ”

"It's easy to say, but it's extremely laborious and costly to do. If it was the first few years, the palace would have told the emperor, but now ......"

But now Zhu Xian is seriously ill, and Zhu's ** is in turmoil. Empress Zhu was really afraid that any of her careful thoughts would provoke Emperor Yong'an's displeasure and thus anger herself.

Left persuasion is not good, right persuasion is not good, Ziwan is silent and no longer speaks. only hung a cautious expression on his face, trying not to make a mistake in front of Queen Zhu.

On the second day of the fourth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, Zhu Xian was seriously ill and died in the Guozhang Mansion.

When Emperor Yong'an heard the news, although there was no expression on his face, his heart sank.

Half an hour later, Emperor Yong'an said to Feng Gong, "Go and deliver a message to the queen, and I will allow her to save her relatives for a day, for the sake of filial piety." ”

On the ninth day of April in the eighth year of Yong'an, Empress Zhu was pro-provincial.

Compared with his provincial relatives to the queen, Empress Zhu has a lot less etiquette. The long guard of honor in plain clothes stopped at the door of the Guozhang Mansion, and Empress Zhu only held Ziwan's hand, and cried while standing on the mourning hall, unable to even kneel.

When the time came, when Empress Zhu got up and turned around, Empress Zhu's biological mother, Zhu Liu, knelt at her feet to see her off. Queen Zhu was sad in her heart, and helped Zhu Liu up, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried.

Zhu Liu's family is crying Zhu Xian's death, and I don't know what kind of chaos will be made in this back house.

Empress Zhu is crying, as soon as Zhu Xian dies, how many days can she sit on the throne of the queen of the middle palace?

On April 15 of the eighth year of Yong'an, Pan Changmi impeached Zhu **, listing 20 pieces of evidence such as enclosure, selling officials, manipulating the imperial examination, suppressing virtuous ministers, smuggling smuggled salt, and collusion between officials and businessmen.

At the end of the recital, Pan Chang also made a list, which included 67 ministers of the court and the central government attached to the Zhu family, from ministers to military generals, from three provinces to six ministries, among which there were four officials above the fourth rank.

Emperor Yong'an took the thick fold and was silent.

Over the years, Zhu Xian has concentrated the power of the Zhu family in his own body. It is not so much that he is too ambitious, but that Zhu Xian has preserved a heart of vassalism to Emperor Yong'an.

Zhu Xian used this list to tell Emperor Yong'an that as a minister, he had never thought of rebellion. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to sit on the throne for eight years in peace.

Emperor Yong'an threw the fold on the table and sighed.

Although Zhu Xian has never been disobedient to him, the power in Zhu Xian's hands has long made Emperor Yong'an jealous.

The said merit is high, but that's it.

Pan Chang saw that hesitation flashed on Emperor Yong'an's face, and handed the upper sword on his body to Gonggong Feng, who was on the side, and said clearly, "Your Majesty, although the Zhu family has been powerful over the years, the old minister still has to say a fair word. Zhu Shangshu is a loyal and good minister who has been seen for thousands of years. ”

"My heart aches!"

The Zhu family did not fall, but the Zhu family ** fell. The clansmen of the Zhu family were descended and degraded by Emperor Yong'an, and they no longer had the momentum of the past.

In the cold palace, Lingxi looked at Xiyue who came to report the news, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Although the Zhu family has not fallen, the power of Queen Zhu is not the same. Now Lingxi holds the trump card of Feiduo in his hand, and Gonggong Feng has sent a message that the emperor still has three points of nostalgia for her......

She rolls over, just around the corner.

Now the only thing that makes Lingxi feel embarrassed is that Shi Zhanhe is in the hands of King Ning. Without Shi Zhanhe, there is no way to prove that when he was beaten into the cold palace, he was pregnant with a dragon heir.

If she can't clear her suspicion of fake pregnancy, even if Emperor Yong'an takes her out of the cold palace, Emperor Yong'an will definitely have a grudge against her in his heart.

After Xiyue left, Lingxi said to Lotus Ye, "Tell Shen Feng, I want to see King Ning." I want to see what he needs to do to hand over Shi Zhanhe! ”
