Chapter 287: Comfort the Ancestral Spirit
Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and looked at the majestic palace gate in front of him fixedly.
At the beginning, his imperial brother had no children, and it seemed that everyone around him had told him that he would one day enter the palace through this gate and then rule the world.
Zhu Youzhen has always believed that their words are right.
Until the prince Changsheng was born.
However, Zhu Youzhen felt that he was lucky, because no matter what, he still entered through this door after all.
The current situation has reached a moment that brooks no delay.
The life and death of the imperial brother are uncertain, and there is a high probability of dying outside.
And what Zhu Youzhen and the people who read are worried about is that the eunuchs will take the opportunity to help Changsheng succeed the unification!
When that happens, all hope will come to naught, and despair will follow.
Scholars can't stand it, and they will still be under the obscenity of the eunuchs for decades to come.
And Zhu Youzhen is not like this?
He knew very well that if he didn't take action again, when Wei Zhongxian and these eunuchs supported the prince to live forever, then all the major policies would be in Wei Zhongxian's hands.
He, the virtuous king in the minds of scholars, is bound to become Wei Zhongxian's confidant, and he must be cut off and troubled in the future.
The imperial brother is still a generous person, so with him, he may be able to be a vassal king.
But the problem now is that the royal brother is gone.
At that point, just poison a little bit, or ...... Just let people collect a little evidence of their own, and they can put themselves to death.
The arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent.
Zhu Youzhen's heart was still trembling, the Daming Gate had been opened for him, but he was still outside the thunder pool, and hesitated a few steps.
Cleaning up the chaotic mood, Zhu Youzhen immediately said: "Everyone is waiting outside, and the ministers in the court and Mr. Wang will enter the palace with King Gu." ”
With so many people outside, it is impossible to let them enter the palace, but there are also many ministers and officials who want to follow the dragon, so it is best to let them enter the palace with them.
As for the others, they were just waiting outside, but they wanted to see what Wei Zhongxian in the palace wanted.
With that, Zhu Youzhen finally took a step forward and crossed the thunder pool.
The rest of the ministers and officials, together with Wang Huan, were busy following behind.
The readers followed one after another: "Don't panic, just wait here, don't disperse, otherwise...... The palace may be unfavorable to His Royal Highness King Shin. ”
These readers, apparently, are extremely intelligent people, they are very calm, and they do not rush around, but they both stir up emotions and at the same time reassure everyone not to get excited.
So the overwhelming crowd stopped outside the Daming Gate.
This holy place of the Forbidden City, after all, still makes many people daunting.
As for the ministers and officials, more than a hundred of them, they all followed them.
Emperor Apocalypse and Zhang Jingyi also followed.
Everyone doesn't seem to have the heart to pay attention to them, and the unicorn suit that Zhang Jingyi happened to be wearing naturally became a proof of entering the palace, of course...... His clothes are very conspicuous in the capital, but when he arrives in this place, compared to other ministers, he looks shabby.
At first glance, it is a four-five-grade service, which is only at a level that is barely allowed to enter.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse is also wearing an official robe today, there is no way, there is no way to change clothes, so he has to borrow the clothes that Zhang Jingyi carries with him to wear.
returned to the Forbidden City after a long absence, but the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very unsightly.
He originally thought that it was just a group of people making trouble and using his royal brother as an excuse.
But when he saw that his imperial brother was actually the one who took the lead, his heart suddenly cooled.
Over the years, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been very good to King Xin, and as a half-brother, he has far exceeded the treatment that King Xin should have.
Ordinary princes have to become vassals as soon as they reach adulthood, but because they are afraid that this brother will arrive in the domain and live unaccustomed to it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will suppress the performance of the vassal, and he will not give this will after all.
Can ...... now
The two followed the people, first in the direction of the harem.
The one who came over was that Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shunzheng led a group of eunuchs to stop Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and said: "His Royal Highness the king of letters, the concubine has a decree, and it is inconvenient to see each other at this time, so please go back to the palace and wait for the summons." ”
At this moment, the officials around Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, were in an uproar, and said, "Take a look at us." ”
"King Xin was raised by Concubine Dong, how could he not see him?"
Zhang Shun had a wooden face, and he looked resolute.
Fools know that he is Zhang Jingyi's godson, and now those people outside are shouting and killing his godfather everywhere, not to mention that there is really any relationship between father and son, and there are some things about father and son filial piety.
But at least Zhang Shun knew very well that once the king of Xin gained power, the first thing to kill was his henchmen Zhang Jing in the palace.
King Zhu Youzhen looked at him with disdain, and said coldly: "Which concubine is it?" ”
"Concubine Xili." Zhang Shun responded.
This Concubine Xili has a great relationship with the Hakka family, as well as Wei Zhongxian, and now Concubine Xili is not allowed to believe in Wang Zhu Youzhen's palace, which is expected.
Zhu Youzhen said: "Now the country is in danger......
Zhang Shun actually directly interrupted Zhu Youzhen and said, "Your Highness...... The concubine said, it is inconvenient to see each other at this time, the harem is a forbidden garden, how can ordinary vassal kings easily enter? Could it be ...... Does King Shin want an obscene harem? ”
At this moment, many ministers exploded, shouting and scolding: "Shameless! ”
Zhu Youzhen's face even turned blue, which was a direct insult to his morality.
You know, he's a moral exemplar.
It's just that...... Zhang Shun behaved very toughly, and directly took out an obscene harem hat.
Zhu Youzhen didn't continue to break through, but said coldly: "Okay, then go to Taimiao and summon hundreds of officials to see you." ”
Since there is no way to see the concubine, then the best way is to go to the Taimiao, the Taimiao is a place to worship the ancestors and ancestors, and he Zhu Youzhen is also the blood of the first emperors, and if he goes there, he has enough confidence!
As for Wei Zhongxian...... He is a eunuch, after all, he is just a house slave, he is in front of his ancestors and ancestors, and he sees if Wei Zhongxian dares to play tricks.
And summoning hundreds of officials to meet can be regarded as a direct showdown.
Zhang Shun was expressionless, he really couldn't stop Zhu Youzhen from going to Taimiao.
As soon as Wang Huan heard Zhu Youzhen's idea, he immediately nodded his head and praised Zhu Youzhen's reaction.
"Yes, go to Taimiao."
This temple is on the side of Dong'anmen, not far from here, on the other side, there are people to invite cabinet scholars, as well as the Hanlin of the foreign dynasty, or out of the palace, to invite the ministers of the six ministries.
In fact, Zhu Youzhen was already sweating at this time, but he forced himself to calm down at this time, thinking about how to deal with the situation when he arrived at Taimiao, and thinking about whether Wei Zhongxian dared to do it in front of the world and himself.
After thinking about it carefully, his mind calmed down, the people's hearts are in him, and now he is expected to return, Wei Zhongxian does not have the support of his imperial brother, and the attitude of Jingying is not clear, if Wei Zhongxian dares to do something to him, the state capitals in the world are afraid that they will have to recruit troops to serve the king.
There are also vassal kings everywhere, and they will never sit idly by, if Wei Zhongxian dares to be strong, it is equivalent to dying with himself.
Wei Zhongxian is just a tool in the hands of his imperial brother, he has no appeal at all, and it is impossible for Wei Zhongxian's disciples and grandchildren to follow Wei Zhongxian to the black.
When the world talks about Wei Zhongxian, they all call him 9,000 years old, in fact...... This 9,000 years old was given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and when the Emperor of the Apocalypse is here, he can do the emperor's will, and it is not too much to say that it is 9,000 years old.
But now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is gone, such a royal slave is nothing.
This point, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, knows very deeply.
Emperor Apocalypse and Zhang Jingyi were mixed in the crowd, these two low-grade petty officials, no one paid too much attention to them, not to mention ...... Even if you pay attention, I'm afraid that you will never think of the identities of the two.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse pulled Zhang Jingyi at this time, and said in a low voice: "Zhu Youzhen bet that Wei Banban didn't dare to make a mistake, what do you think Wei Banban will do?" ”
Zhang Jing didn't think about it and said: "He has no loyalty, and he will definitely not dare to make a mistake." He still wants to protect himself. And even if he gave the order, who would dare to do it with the murder of the prince behind his back? ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed his head, and then said: "You write down, the harem changes, go to the Taimiao first." ”
Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, what has changed in the palace?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said very seriously: "It's not a bad thing to have one more skill to be around, and it's not a bad thing to have more skills." How sure are they that they are? ”
Zhang Jingyi sighed: "I can't tell you this, but it's ...... Now the comparison is who is more courageous and who is more courageous. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed again and said, "This imperial brother of mine is very gentle on weekdays, but today he is like this. ”
Saying that, he looked depressed.
and the group arrived at the Taimiao.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already arrived with a large number of eunuchs and the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Cabinet scholars and ministers also arrived here.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhang Jingyi were silently hiding in the corner where no one was paying attention.
Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale, and he said, "Aren't you afraid of death when you make such a mess?" ”
In fact, at this time, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was not here, but first entered the hall of the Taimiao and sacrificed to the ancestors first.
Outside this hall, the crowd was silent.
Only Wang Huan stood up and said with a smile: "The country has no lord, in order to prevent the power from falling into the hands of eunuchs, His Royal Highness the King believes that he is the head of the country, and then he entered the palace, why is Gonggong Wei so angry?" ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't even look at Wang Huan, this time, King Xin really caught him off guard.
He glanced at his ministers.
At this time...... He is also a little unsure of everyone's attitude, among this group of ministers, there are also many of his henchmen, among which Huang Liji and Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, are the leaders.
But others, although they also show favor to him on weekdays, are not confidants after all.
What Wei Zhongxian has been hesitating about is whether he should simply break the net, take people directly, and then go to the harem to ask for Xi Li's Yizhi?
