Although the night was late, the study of the imperial grandson was brightly lit, Zhu Zhanji, Yang Shiqi, Huang Huai and several other princelings sat opposite each other, and several middle- and lower-level officials had a righteous and awe-inspiring look on their faces.

"We are deeply favored by the emperor, not less than 20 years in the court, assisting Your Majesty, hard work, heroic and upright, but that Chen Yuan suddenly emerged, Your Majesty is old, has always been favored, shaking the foundation of the country, Lord Yang, Lord Huang, you can't wait to come forward, by me Zhang Ben and Guo Jin, I don't believe it, Xiao Tian She'er, how much ability." Guo Jin, the left attendant of the ministry, was thirty-nine years old, short in stature, but not afraid of power, and was also quite famous in the court.

Yang Shiqi frowned: "There is no room for maneuver in the matter of moving the capital, Chen Yuansheng is in a long position, I am afraid that it will touch the reverse scales, and under the power of heaven, I am afraid that there will be a big disaster." ”

"For the sake of the common people, what is Guo's life, adults don't have to stop it. Tomorrow, Guo will be on the top and fight for justice for us. If Chen Yuan is not removed, King Zhao of Han will gain power, and the future of the Ming Dynasty will be unimaginable. Guo Jin clenched his fists and was impassioned.

Zhu Zhanji flickered affectionately and did not stop it. I secretly said in my heart: Chen Yuan, there is only so much I can do, I hope not to live up to my hard work.

"Then there are two of them." Zhu Zhanji saluted them.

"Your Highness, don't do this, this is what a minister should do."

The imperial grandson saluted, and several people in the room were moved to tears. hurriedly said that they didn't dare, encouraged each other, and said that they would move their colleagues to make peace and encourage momentum when Guo Jin's performance was presented.

Huang Huai also chimed in and reached an agreement.

The minister couldn't stay in the palace, and they left after a while, leaving Yang Shiqi behind.

Zhu Zhanji seemed to know that he would be like this, and smiled slightly: "Does Lord Yang still have any questions?" ”

Yang Shiqi was secretly surprised, His Royal Highness the Taisun is really easy to think of ordinary people, if the prince can also - he sighed: "Your Highness, now for the matter of moving the capital, the King of Han is in charge of the country, and the King of Zhao is arrogant with the brocade guard, we are really not suitable for another incident at this time, not to mention, the minister heard that His Royal Highness wanted to win over Chen Yuan, Guo Shilang They did this, wouldn't it push Chen Yuan to the King of Han." ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at the sky through the window, and the moonlight was very bright, just like daytime. He smiled lightly: "Before, I was conceited and thought that Chen Yuan was stupid, until what my imperial grandfather said to me, I understood that Chen Yuan had a strategy in his chest, and he was absolutely beyond the reach of others, such a person, would he think that King Han was more reliable than me?" ”

Yang Shiqi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly looked at his grandson, even at night, he could see the confidence on Zhu Zhanji's face. If it is said in this way, that is, Chen Yuan knows the general trend of the future and knows whether to choose the crown prince or the king of Han, but why does he still want to get close to the king of Han and the king of Zhao?

Don't? Is he lurking around them? Yang Shiqi was taken aback by his own thoughts, but when he saw Zhu Zhanji's expression, he was afraid that this thing was still true, think about the abnormality of Jianyi, although this old fox is very cunning and never offends people, but it is definitely the prince's party, if Chen Yuan is really the party of King Zhao of Han, Jianyi should be inseparable from him.

Yang Shiqi was like an empowering, and smiled bitterly, this young man is really incomprehensible, he said worriedly: "In this case, His Royal Highness is still afraid that Chen Yuan will really fall to the King of Han at this time." After all, we are all just guessing, Chen Yuan may be for us. On the surface, he is still King Zhao's adviser, and with his talent, if he really assists King Zhao, the result is unknown. ”

Zhu Zhanji clenched his fist with his right hand, beat his nose, frowned, and said slowly: "Just look, it's up to Master Jian." ”

"I followed the emperor's grandfather, knowing that the emperor's grandfather was different from Chen Yuan, I did this time to catch those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, the emperor's body is not as good as before, my father is depressed all day long, and he is getting weaker and weaker, Lord Yang, my second uncle is the same as us, I need a person who can speak in front of the emperor's grandfather, and this person is a person who can't move a hundred officials, if they go to the book, a few more people will echo it, Chen Yuan will fall, then he is not worthy of my fancy either."

Yang Shiqi nodded slightly in agreement.

"Lord Yang, Lord Jian, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged him, it's inconvenient for me to come forward." Zhu Zhanji looked solemn and said.

Yang Shiqi understood in his heart that he wanted to win over Chen Yuan, and now, only Jian Yi could do it.

After Guo Jin returned, he instructed his attendants to prepare to write. He didn't add a little bit to the text, and his thoughts were like springs: Zhuge Liang has clouds, pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, this first Han is so prosperous, pro-villain, far virtuous ministers, and then the Han is so decadent-

Chen Yuan, a scholar in Jiangning, does not know a hundred famous sayings, serves the wolf with an eagle, and his scheming is gloomy and unpredictable. However, before the rude court, change the etiquette system, the businessmen made heavy profits, caused the extravagance of the country, and killed the nobles privately, deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, if they were laissez-faire, pampered and arrogant, then where is the country's legal etiquette system-

The prince has been established, but his people have unpredictable hearts, do unspeakable things, separate father and son, provoke brothers, and have something to do. Misfortune will be born in the elbow and armpit, and the temple will fall at that time. Chen Yuan, the ancient Yi Ya erected, the subordinate of the discipline of the dynasty, the minister cried and prayed, and was punished by the national law, and the minister was willing to protect the family and pray for a thorough investigation of his people.

After writing, he put his pen on the table, read it aloud, secretly satisfied, his eyes were sharp, and he secretly swore that even if he died, he would not let King Han succeed.

On September 27, the eighteenth year of Yongle, Guo Jin was sparsely admonished, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The main gate of Nanjing city is Chengtian Gate, a convex urn city has been built in the range of 1,000 steps to the south and 800 steps east and west in front of Chengtian Gate, and the south gate of the urn city is called Daming Gate.

On both sides of the raised part of the urn city, it is the various yamen of the six departments of the Ming Dynasty and the nine Qing offices, between the Chengtian Gate of the Ming Gate, there is a corridor room, commonly known as the Thousand Steps Corridor.

Of course, the capital of Shuntianfu is the same, and it is almost exactly the same as Nanjing.

The princes of the court will go to the court every day to enter the urn city at the Daming Gate, walk the thousand-step corridor into the imperial city, enter the Wenyuan Pavilion meeting, the cabinet members stay in the office, and the rest of the people go out of the imperial city to return to the yamen on errands.

Guo Jin came to the Daming Gate almost in the early hours of the morning, and when everyone from all walks of life came, he recited aloud with a song in his hand, and there were many middle and low-grade civil officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Six Branches, the Hanlin Academy, and the Guozijian around him.

All my colleagues were listening, Guo Jin was full of energy, his voice was loud, and the content of the recital was encouraging, so he only read two paragraphs, and the princelings who came with him cheered, and in the end it was already like thunder, which was even more lively than the opera garden. The princelings have been gearing up, and they have recently been panicked by King Zhao's brocade guards, they have long held their breath, and Chen Yuan has also happened to be their point of anger.

Even the Han Dynasty Party is happy to see it, especially Liu Guan, who secretly commanded people to add fuel to the fire.

But the princelings Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi closed their doors to recuperate, as if they hadn't heard anything.

"A farmer in the mountains can guide the court, Your Majesty is willful, what does Your Majesty want us old ministers to do, because of Chen Yuan, several of our Shangshu have been dismissed, Chen Yuan is not removed, we are willing to disarm and return to the field."

The words that echoed made Guo Jin's heart more determined, he closed the music folded in his hand, and said loudly: "As soon as this music is sparse, Guo will not care about this body, bow to the gate of heaven, just for the people of the world to seek justice, only for me to go to a scourge in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Suddenly there was another round of applause, and everyone saw that the ministers of the cabinet, the scholars of the six ministries and the heads of the yamen were all on the side, and there were colleagues, and this was the best time to make a name for themselves.

"Guo Shilang, how can such a righteous thing make you beautiful alone, and the younger brother is also willing to attach his name to the song!"

"It's not a pity to be this body, I just want the little brother to be loyal and righteous."

There are even people chanting loudly there: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat." The scene was generous and intense for a while, and those who couldn't control their emotions were in tears.

The time was almost up, and the hundred officials entered the Fengtian Hall one after another.

"The Holy One has arrived."

As the little eunuch Wang Zhen stretched out the voice, the hundred officials straightened their bodies, tidied up their clothes, and stared at the door, Zhu Di walked in slowly, behind him, it was not the usual prince, but the king of Han, the king of Han was arrogant, followed by the king of Zhao and Zhu Zhanji.

Emperor Yongle's eyes were a little dark, and this tired color seemed to be heavier than yesterday, and everyone knew in their hearts that the old emperor's energy was getting worse and worse than before.

After Jian Yi came out of the line to salute, Chen Yu said: "Your Majesty, the matter of moving the capital is proceeding in an orderly manner, but it is not known how the new capital is, and it is a long way away, whether it is appropriate, please ask Your Majesty whether to send the prince to explore the road first." ”

Zhu Di nodded: "Jian Aiqing is right, she should send someone there." ”

"Father, leave this matter to your son, who is willing to remove all obstacles for his father." As soon as Zhu Di's words fell, King Zhao said.

Zhu Di smiled, and just about to agree, Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, King Zhao commands the Jinyi Guard, responsible for Your Majesty's safety, and you can't leave easily." When the new capital is occupied, it should be explored by the Son of Heaven tomorrow, and according to the etiquette system, the prince should be sent there. ”

"Your Majesty has three thousand battalions, the Shenji Battalion, why do you need Jinyiwei, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prince is weak and not suitable to run around, when he stays in Nanjing, it is appropriate for King Zhao to go to Shuntian." University scholar Liu Guan retorted.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the crown prince should be sent." Huang Huai immediately put forward his opinion.

This is a matter of the dispute between the princes.

"King Zhao should be dispatched."

"It should be the prince."

"It should be King Zhao."

After a while, there was a lot of noise in the court.

Zhu Di's face began to be gloomy, but the ministers still quarreled regardless of it.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song." The matter was undecided, and Guo Jin, the left attendant of the ministry, went out to work.

The ministers all knew what he was going to say, so they stopped talking about it just now, and they were more looking forward to moving to Chen Yuan than who to send to explore the way.

Without waiting for Zhu Di's orders, Guo Jin Shili said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are Chen Yuan, and the country and the people will be harmed, and the dynasty will be disrupted." Please Your Majesty arrest Chen Yuan and punish him for his crimes. ”

Emperor Yongle listened to Chen Zuo, his eyelids almost fell, his body trembled, and he hurriedly sat upright, and when he heard Guo Jin's next few words, his brows furrowed, and he said impatiently: "Chen Yuan is just a country scholar, what he does is harmless, these things, I don't know how many times I have said these things, why mention it again, there is no need to say it." ”

Guo Jin did not retreat according to the order, but lifted the hem of his court clothes, and knelt directly to Chen Chen: "Your Majesty, respecting scholars is the foundation of the world, and valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce is the law of the ancestors, and it is also the rule of the ancestors in order to consolidate the Ming Dynasty." Chen Yuan changed the law in a disorderly manner, and the businessmen are now showing off their power everywhere, and the wind of luxury is flourishing, corrupting the national capital of the Ming Dynasty and corrupting the society of the country! Chen Yuan is arrogant, killing people and taking his life, and the minister knocks His Majesty three times today, please punish Chen Yuan and correct the dynasty. ”
