The sky gradually darkened, and outside the Zuoshun Gate of the Daming Palace, there were still dozens of officials kneeling down.

Because a large number of officials have been arrested and imprisoned, and the rest of the people have relatively high official positions, they have no intention of fighting at this time, but no one gives them a step, and in this case, Fei Hong, a scholar of Shoufu University, appeared on the scene.

Fei Honglai's purpose was to persuade them to leave first, and the main target was two people, one was Jia Yong and the other was He Mengchun.

At the same time, Zhu Hao returned to Sixian Ju and saw Zhu Si, who was still watching the play here and had not returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Hao appeared beside Zhu Si.

At this time, Xi Shu and the others were no longer in Sixian's residence, and they went back, and according to Zhang Zuo, who accompanied Zhu Hao, the emperor was ready to let this group of people come to Japan to play together, support the Great Rites Discussion, and classify those who oppose the Great Rites Discussion as traitors.

Zhu Si glanced at Zhu Hao and greeted with a smile: "Jingdao is back?" Let's watch the play! ”

Zhu Hao sat down in the seat next to him.

But seeing that on the stage, Gong Yeling was singing, to say that after Gong Yeling entered the palace, he hadn't appeared on the stage for a long time, and Zhu Hao didn't expect Zhu Si to bring Gong Yeling out, which gave Zhu Hao a feeling...... Zhu Si didn't plan to go back to the palace in the past two days, probably to use Sixianju as a temporary nest.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, you won't be back to the palace today, will you?" Zhu Hao asked.

Zhu Si looked at the stage intently, Gong Yeling was his former dream lover, and now he is his woman, and he is intoxicated with the happiness of making his dream come true.

"If I don't go back, it's been a long time since I've reviewed the recital with you, and I'm going to live here today."

Zhu Si said, waved his hand and called Zhang Zuo over.

Zhang Zuo approached with a flattering face, and Zhu Si said: "Go and reward them, and prepare the notes to be reviewed, today I plan to sit at the table with Jing Dao, Mr. Tang and you to discuss the state of the country." By the way, have you eaten? ”

"Nope." Zhu Hao replied.

Zhu Si thought for a while: "Forget it, I've already eaten the hot pot at noon, and I'll eat it casually in the evening, let someone roast a sheep and send it over, I feel a little lacking in strength in the past two days." ”

Zhu Hao wanted to tell Zhu Si directly about Zuo Shunmen, but looking at Zhu Si's appearance, he didn't seem to have that thought.

He won't talk about it for the time being.

"Jingdao, are you done?"

Zhu Si suddenly remembered something and asked.

Zhu Hao said: "Everything that needs to be done has been done, and now Fei Ge Lao has gone to Zuo Shun to persuade the remaining officials to leave." ”

"That's how it should be!" Zhu Sidao, "I just told Huang Jin to ask him to send someone to Beizhen Fusi to punish the person who took the lead in making trouble today with a cane!" ”

Zhu Si was resolute, but he was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance, you don't think I did too much, right?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "No." ”

That being said, Zhu Hao feels that many things are really moving forward along the trajectory of history.

He has tried his best to protect those civil officials who are crying, so that the situation will not evolve to the point of being out of control, but it is a pity that Zhu Si's attitude is too resolute, even if he does not discuss with him, he must first beat up those who participated in the trouble, if there may not have been bloodshed and death before, but now it is basically impossible.

Those civil officials don't need to be beaten!

"Then I watched two more plays, don't say, I haven't watched it for a long time, but now I look pretty good, the things on the stage...... It's like what I watched when I was a child, and people unconsciously indulged in it! ”

……

……

Zhu Si continued to reminisce about his childhood.

Probably because of the events of the day, which threatened Zhu Si's rule, Zhu Si felt that he was out of place with those ministers in the court, and Zhu Si had a feeling of self-danger, so now he wants to find the carefree feeling of being the prince of the palace in the past.

Zhu Hao came down from the attic where he watched the play.

Zhang Zuo followed.

Zhang Zuo apologized: "Regarding the execution of His Majesty's order, I did not inform Mr. Zhu in advance, I hope Mr. Zhu will forgive me." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "How come?" Sometimes, the necessary punishment is indispensable, otherwise it is not enough to maintain the majesty of His Majesty and stabilize the court. ”

"Mr. Zhu, don't mind." Zhang Zuo comforted in his heart.

Although Zhang Zuo thinks that Zhu Si and Zhu Hao do not necessarily have to be consistent in everything, Zhang Zuo is very clear about the significance of Zhu Hao's existence in the Ming Dynasty, so he cares about Zhu Hao's feelings, not perfunctory, but sincerely.

Probably Zhang Zuo was also afraid that Zhu Si would be too extreme, and make a small thing that could have been avoided out of control, which would really threaten Zhu Si's throne.

Zhang Zuo's previous words were also testing Zhu Hao to see if this matter really had an extremely bad impact.

When Zhu Hao said that it was okay, he felt at ease, because from his heart, Zhu Hao's overall view was very strong, and no one in the court could compare.

Zhang Zuo said: "Mr. Tang has gone to the inner hall first, and there is some negligence over there, and he said that he should sort it first." ”

"Oh."

Zhu Hao nodded.

As he was talking, Huang Jin appeared in front of him, his steps hurried, and it seemed that he was going upstairs to find Zhu Si.

Zhang Zuo beckoned him to come and asked, "How's the matter?" ”

Zhang Zuo did not shy away from telling Zhu Hao in advance about Huang Jin, which was equivalent to letting Zhu Hao analyze it first, and how to tell the emperor after some things were said.

Huang Jin whispered before and after the two of them: "Fei Zhongtang personally went out, and after persuasion, the people in front of Zuo Shun ...... It's all gone! ”

"Whew!"

Zhang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "That's good." ”

After speaking, his gaze turned to Zhu Hao, probably wanting to hear Zhu Hao's evaluation of this matter.

Zhu Hao has nothing to comment.

The bad nature of the Zuoshunmen incident in history does not lie in what the civil officials did in front of Zuoshunmen, but in the emperor's vicious revenge on these people.

Fei Hong went to persuade people to disperse, which had long been expected by Zhu Hao, but Zhu Si's revenge on the arrested people was something Zhu Hao did not expect, Zhu Si may be afraid or hateful, it is impossible to show mercy to these people, probably because Zhu Si is afraid that someone will make a fuss about this matter in the future.

So I want to make an example of the monkey.

"Go up and talk to Your Majesty." Zhang Zuo commanded.

Saying that, Zhang Zuo also glanced at Zhu Hao intentionally or unintentionally, probably waiting for Zhu Hao to ask him about the execution in Beizhen Fusi, but Zhu Hao didn't ask.

Actually, there is no need to ask.

Since the emperor ordered the execution of the cane, he would definitely not hold it high and take it lightly, Zhu Hao knew that it was superfluous to ask, why did he plant an impression that he pitied Wenchen to the emperor?

……

……

Huang Jin went upstairs.

And Zhu Hao went to see Tang Yin with Zhang Zuo.

From this moment on, Zhu Hao felt that there was a generation gap between himself and Zhu Si, which was the gap in absolute power between monarchs and ministers.

The key point in Zuo Shunmen's eucalyptus is Zhu Si's ferocity, and Zhu Si took advantage of this incident to completely establish his majesty as the emperor, and since then the Ming Dynasty has no civil party similar to those united around Yang Tinghe and his successors, and no one can threaten Zhu Si's throne.

In other words, from this time on, Zhu Si had completed his consolidation of imperial power.

I saw that it was time for the rabbit to die and the dog to cook.

Although Zhu Si didn't have this mind for the time being, and even at this moment, he was still watching the play and was scared, but Zhu Hao knew that from this time on, he and Zhu Si would no longer be able to discuss one thing and work together as before.

And he, Zhu Hao, is gradually becoming a thorn in the emperor's side to maintain imperial power.

This will be done imperceptibly, not overnight.

Zhu Hao needs to think about his future, but it seems that he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, at least there is still time to deal with it...... Zhu Hao knew that he was going to step up the layout.

"Mr. Tang."

Zhang Zuo entered the hall behind the chamber.

Tang Yin said that he was here to sort out the music, but in fact, he was looking for an opportunity to avoid Zhu Si and hide quietly.

Tang Yin usually doesn't like to read very much, but now he is holding a book to read there.

Zhu Hao walked over and took a look, but it was an ordinary "Analects", and from the moment he entered the hall, he saw Tang Yin's stunned appearance, this cheap teacher should be thinking about things with a book and wandering around the world.

"Coming back?"

Tang Yin put down the book when he heard this, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Hao, "Beizhen Fusi, how is the situation?" ”

Tang Yin didn't hide anything in front of Zhang Zuo, he really cared about how the emperor treated those civil officials of the Protector faction, but he obviously asked the wrong person in this matter.

Because Zhu Hao not only didn't know the follow-up situation, but even knew that Huang Jin knew the inside story, he didn't ask.

Zhu Hao said: "I went to see Yang Yongxiu, he wrote a letter and handed it to Fei Ge Lao, and then I went to see Qiao Butang and Fei Ge Lao, Fei Ge Lao went to Zuo Shunmen alone and persuaded the remaining colleagues there to return." ”

"Persuaded?"

Tang Yin was also surprised.

Is it really that smooth?

So what role does Fei Hong play in this matter?

Will those civil officials take his affection? Wouldn't everyone else regard Fei Hong as a traitor to the civil officials, and it would be difficult to lead the civil ministers from now on, right?

Zhu Hao nodded: "Yes." I don't know what exactly I said, but Your Majesty told me that he had sent someone to Beizhen Fusi to punish those civil servants, which should be rod punishment. I didn't ask specifically. ”

Tang Yin frowned.

You didn't ask?

That means you're not involved?

Previously, you showed that you were the most trusted minister around the emperor in front of Zhang Xuan, Xi Shu and others, and those people were beaten up, what do you think Xi Shu will think?

They will think that you instigated it.

"Mr. Tang, Your Majesty is still watching the play, let's come over to prepare the recital or something as instructed, and Your Majesty will come over later to review the recital together."

Zhang Zuo reminded with a smile.

Zhang Zuo listened to the conversation between Zhu Hao and Tang Yin and turned a deaf ear.

Zhang Zuo disdained to do things that sow discord.

Tang Yin said: "Will Your Majesty come over tonight?" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Zuo was embarrassed.

Even if you Tang Bohu think that Your Majesty is just talking and thinking that Your Majesty may be addicted to pleasure, you can't say that, right?

Zhu Hao sighed: "Whether we come or not, we still hurry up to complete the things at hand, only if the affairs of the court are steadily advancing, and there is no chaos, what happens outside Zuo Shun will have the lowest impact on the court!" ”
