Chapter 53: Ling Tianhan is in trouble!
Although there were King Han, the princess and some courtiers who tried their best to protect the crown princess, the crown princess insisted, and Prince Ping was also happy with it, so he naturally decided to let the crown princess go to guard the spirit.
In addition, this matter seemed to give Prince Ping a "point", and Prince Ping proposed in the court that Ling Tianhan should be allowed to go to the wake for three years.
Prince Ping's reasons are very sufficient: first, Ling Tianhan has a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in Beijing, what he was most worried about was Ling Tianhan, who was at the border. So in terms of brotherhood, Ling Tianhan should have kept a vigil for his brother.
The second is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister.
The crown prince is the king, and he is also a bright king. Ling Tianhan is a minister, and he is also a loyal minister.
In the words of Prince Ping, since Ling Tianhan was willing to garrison the bitter cold land of the border for the sake of the court, he would naturally be able to keep the peace in front of the spirit for the prince.
The three responsibilities are for the name of the hero.
In this huge court, except for Prince Ping, only Ling Tianhan has the most military power in his hands, and he is the most brave and victorious.
Therefore, Prince Ping said that if the prince's spirit was not guarded by Ling Tianhan, then no one could rest assured.
After these three articles, they all seem to hit the "key point"!
Each of these is a reason why Ling Tianhan can't resist, and if he wants to resist, it seems that he is an unfaithful and unrighteous person.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Prince Ping did this only because he was afraid of Ling Tianhan.
To be more precise, what he was afraid of was the military power in Ling Tianhan's hands. Therefore, he wanted to use this way to remove the power from Ling Tianhan's hands, and if it was possible, he would prefer to take the 100,000 troops in Ling Tianhan's hands for himself.
Naturally, there were people in the court who helped Ling Tianhan speak, and some people saw through Prince Ping's thoughts.
Many more, however, are indifferent.
Some of their courtiers were already supporters of Prince Ping, and they couldn't wait to tie up with Prince Ping, so naturally they obeyed whatever Prince Ping said.
There are still some people who are waiting. In fact, they may not support Prince Ping's idea, but seeing that the emperor's knees are withering now, Prince Ping and the prince said that they have been relatively familiar with court and political affairs over the years.
For the sake of the future of the entire court, even if they don't like Prince Ping, they know that for the prince, Prince Ping is actually the best choice now.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have compromised a long time ago.
However, who is Ling Tianhan?
On this day, when he accompanied Yongle to incense the prince and returned, Zhu Xinghe heard that Ling Tianhan had done one thing: when he went out of the court and walked to the gate outside the palace, he killed a deputy general in the hands of Prince Ping in front of Prince Ping.
The reason was because the deputy general followed Prince Ping's words in the court to force Ling Tianhan to hand over the power in charge of the Imperial Forest Army.
That deputy general should not have appeared in the court, but he took advantage of Prince Ping's momentum to exert pressure on His Royal Highness Ling Tianhan, a dignified prince.
Although Ling Tianhan withstood the pressure of the court, as long as the emperor did not let go, he would never hand over the military power to anyone.
But for Ling Tianhan, this matter was already beyond what he could bear.
So when they went out of the palace gate together, Ling Tianhan didn't say a word, and directly cut off the head of the deputy general in front of many ministers!
After hearing that she did this, many civil officials were scared and unstable, and they were carried back by the family's little servant!
But naturally, the consequences of Ling Tianhan's doing this were also very serious.
I heard that Prince Ping was about to draw his sword and ask Ling Tianhan to "ask for justice", but he was stopped by the surrounding ministers.
Next, Prince Ping took the lead in writing to the emperor and asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly, give the deputy general justice, and punish Ling Tianhan.
As soon as he said this, naturally some people followed him to the book.
There is even no shortage of people who have already been in the line of Prince Ping to revoke Ling Tianhan's title of "King of Han" and take back the military power in Ling Tianhan's hands.
What's more, the book said that Ling Tianhan was bloodthirsty and murderous, and he was afraid that he had the disease of madness. Not only did the emperor revoke his title of "King of Han", but also asked the emperor to put him under house arrest in Beijing, and wait for the imperial doctors to "heal" him before releasing him.
As soon as the incident came out, Princess Yongle couldn't wait to go to the Han Palace.
But she didn't bring Zhu Xinghe, but only brought Changxia.
Zhu Xinghe knows in her heart that Changxia is now her big palace maid. So although he was a little worried about Ling Tianhan, he still cared about the things in his garden and didn't join in the fun.
However, in just three days, the matter in Kyoto has already begun to make trouble.
At first, it was just that the courtiers were making a fuss around the emperor's Prince Ping, saying that it was Ling Tianhan's act of killing people at the gate of the palace, which was really too much.
Then, there were officials who admonished him, saying that he hoped that the emperor could severely punish Ling Tianhan. Many of them had a surprisingly unanimous idea: put Ling Tianhan under house arrest in the mansion, and wait for the imperial doctor to cure him before releasing him.
Naturally, they also restrained a little and did not mention the matter of military power.
But who doesn't know in his heart? As soon as Ling Tianhan is placed under house arrest, he will have no choice but to do so. At that time, the natural imperial doctor said when he could release him, which was the right word. Maybe it's three or five years, maybe it's a lifetime.
Someone must take over the military power, looking at this huge court, isn't only Prince Ping who is qualified and capable to take over the 100,000 army in Ling Tianhan's hands?!
On the third day, the people of the whole capital began to talk about it.
As far as Zhu Xinghe heard, the attitude of the people seemed to be surprisingly unanimous: the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and Ling Tianhan was a member of the royal family, so he should set an example and take responsibility for the murder to the end.
Moreover, in the community, everyone has spoken of mouth, almost portraying Ling Tianhan as a bloodthirsty devil who kills people without blinking.
Zhu Xinghe heard that if there are any children in this folk who are disobedient, the adults will want Ling Tianhan to scare them.
In the eyes of the people, they can completely ignore Ling Tianhan's exploits at the border pass, and only say that Ling Tianhan is a devil.
On the fourth day, Ling Tianhan simply stopped going to court.
I heard that some people and the family of the deputy general have been waiting outside the door of the Han Wangfu to "protest".
The officers and soldiers of the government did not dare to drive away, and even clashed with the small guards who came to drive away from the Hanwang Mansion.
If all these practices have nothing to do with the Peace Prince's Mansion, Zhu Xinghe will not believe it no matter what.
And Ling Tianhan no longer showed up, and the emperor always avoided this matter, so you can know the attitude of the two of them.
