Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, "dismissed the prince and demoted him to a concubine", came out, which made the faces of the officials present change.

In the eleven years of the orthodox dynasty, the title of any vassal king has never been removed, not to mention that Zhu Zhaohui, the king of Lu, is the blood of Taizu, and when he is the uncle of today's son, Zhu Yong is so ruthless?

If it were another vassal king, Zhu Yong would not have said such words at all, after all, even if the Son of Heaven's family affairs are noble, after all, he is still a level worse than the royal clan, and it is easy to get burned when he gets involved.

But what King Lu did challenged the bottom line of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was to assassinate Shen Yichen!

Since the death of the Duchess Lin, Zhu Ji's temperament has changed greatly, and he can no longer bear Zhu Yong's expectations for the revitalization of the family.

Taking a step back, even if Zhu Ji does not change at all, affected by what the Lin family did back then, his status in the public mansion will also plummet.

Zhu Ji "abolished", the eldest son Zhu Yi officially assumed the military position, according to the tradition of the expedition before the Ming Dynasty Civil Fort, the military generals and relatives were to personally lead the army to fight, rather than serving as a mascot in the rear.

This also means that Zhu Yi is destined to go to the battlefield and face danger, if something happens, the bloodline of the Chengguo Gong family can support the family, and only Shen Yichen will be left alone in an instant.

You must know that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, has been working hard for the prosperity of the family all his life, and the belief that one is prosperous and one is lost is engraved in his bones.

Before accepting Shen Yichen, whether this maid gave birth to a son or died or lived, Cheng Guogong was indifferent. But once this son is identified, Zhu Yong will not allow anyone to attack Shen Yichen, even if the other party is the Prince of Daming.

Not only for the sake of father and son, but also for the future of the family!

"What Cheng Guogong said, do you have any objections to Aiqing?"

Zhu Qizhen rarely did not express his position, but asked the opinions of other courtiers.

This point made the ministers present feel very strange, it was a matter of the prince of the imperial family, and it was supposed that the emperor should take the initiative to make a decision, and then hand it over to the Zongren Mansion to deal with.

Now that Zong Zhengcheng is the prince of the country, Zhu Yong, has taken the initiative to say the punishment proposal, and the emperor still hasn't expressed his position?

There was silence among the important ministers of the court, and no one would say anything to this matter, whether it was in favor or against.

The reason is simple, the Ming prince's stay away from the struggle between the government and the opposition means that there is no threat to any central official. Since the other party has no conflict of interest and has a very high status, why do such a thankless conviction to offend people?

On the contrary, if you say two good words to send a favor, no official dares to do it. In case someone is impeached for having a personal relationship with the vassal king, and is involved in the felony of treason, it is really called blood mold.

However, at this moment, Du Yushi Wang Wen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter involves the royal vassal king, and you should be cautious. ”

"The minister thinks that he can't listen to Shen Yixian's words, and that the Zongren Mansion and the Three Law Divisions should jointly try the evidence and make a decision."

Shen Yichen's arson of the river dredging materials and the serious injury of the assassination were presented to the Beijing Division some time earlier.

At that time, the eunuch party headed by Wang Zhen was overjoyed when they saw it. Shen Yichen was already acting recklessly in the local area, and the political secretary, the salt envoy of the capital, and the governor of the imperial history had all been impeached, if it weren't for the sake of the great cause of water control, he might have been ordered to return to Beijing to ask for the guilt.

Now that the river materials are burned and people can't afford to be seriously injured, how can we complete the great cause of water control in Shandong?

Without this layer of talismans, after returning to Beijing, Wang Zhen has thousands of ways to win Shen Yichen's conviction!

Now that Shen Yichen suddenly impeached King Lu for rebellion, whether it was true or not, it couldn't make it easy for him to get his wish. It's best to make a big deal out of it, trigger a fight between the prince and the imperial history, and add another lot to Shen Yichen's "incriminating evidence"!

"Wang Duxian, King Lu colluded with local officials, captive private troops, assassinated the imperial history, set fire to river materials, everything can be described as human and material evidence, how can you say that there is one side!"

After Zhu Yong heard the words of Du Yushi Wang Wen, he immediately refuted.

He knew that the reason why Wang Wen would stand up and obstruct was actually Wang Zhen's instruction, but now he couldn't care about it so much.

King Lu is fine, which means that Shen Yichen is in trouble!

"In the hands of Shen Yixian, is there ironclad evidence that King Lu raised troops to rebel?"

Wang Wen's rhetorical question made Zhu Yong speechless for a while.

This is why Shen Yichen did not hesitate to use his example as bait to force King Lu to assassinate him.

It is too difficult to convict the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, even if there are misdeeds such as assassinating the imperial history and colluding with local officials, it can only be regarded as a bargaining chip to increase the conviction, and it is always the last step to break through the bottom line of raising troops.

After the orthodox dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one vassal king who really raised troops to rebel, and that was the famous Ning Wang Rebellion.

Before Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, raised his troops, there were countless acts of death. For example, the restoration of the abolished palace guards, the random killing of local officials and ordinary people, the forcible seizure of tens of thousands of hectares of land and property of officials and civilians, and the looting of merchants and private soldiers, almost did not write the word "anti" on their faces.

But even if this is done, coupled with the eunuch Zhang Zhong, Yushi Xiao Huai and others who have successively reported Zhu Chenhao's crimes, the punishment they received is only for Ming Wuzong to order him to collect his guards and order him to return the land he has taken.

To put it mildly, this kind of punishment is not even painful, and even encourages the ambition of rebellion. The current behavior of Zhu Zhaohui, the king of Lu, is far inferior to the degree of death compared to King Ning before the army was raised.

Therefore, not really raising troops is a hurdle that Shen Yichen can't get around when he is convicted!

"The ancients took precautions, did they wait until King Lu Bingfeng pointed directly at the Jingshi before they remembered to go to quell the rebellion and ask for the crime?"

A cold voice came out of the mouth of the British Gongfu.

As the first prince of the country and one of the five ministers of the first emperor, the status and qualifications of the British prince Zhang Fu are unparalleled.

When he said this, in a sense, it was heavier than Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and it also represented the unanimous opinion of the entire Xunqi group.

Zhang Fu is willing to stand in Shen Yichen's position, in addition to supporting the selfishness of Xun Qi's children, he is more from the perspective of public righteousness.

You must know that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, there was a famous rebellion of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu. The British public Zhang Fu was not only a personal experiencer, but almost decided the direction of history for a time.

Because before Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion, the first important minister of the court to contact was to ask the British public Zhang Fu to be the internal response!

If it weren't for Zhang Fu's decision to arrest the officials of the Han Dynasty, and the local imperial historian Li Jun and Jin Yiwei found out that the Han King was plotting to rebel and reported it in time, so that the imperial court was fully prepared to deal with it, otherwise the damage caused to the Ming Dynasty would be immeasurable.

There was already a precedent in the previous dynasty, and now if the signs of rebellion are not nipped in the bud, what are you waiting for?

"The British Duke deserves to be a minister of auxiliary, and he can be described as brave and loyal!"

When Zhu Qizhen said this, the important ministers of the court instantly understood his true intention, that is, the crime of rebellion against King Lu!

In fact, Zhu Qizhen has never had a good impression of King Lu's uncle.

At the beginning of his succession to the throne, he was bullied at a young age, and there was a strange incident of Prince Lu's decree.

You must know that the first emperor Ming Xuanzong experienced the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, which happened to occur in the first year of Xuande at the beginning of the succession, and it is difficult not to associate with the arrogant behavior of Zhu Zhaohui, the king of Lu.

For the emperor, not pursuing it does not mean that it does not exist, but it is just an excuse for rectification.

Now on behalf of the imperial court, the imperial history of Shen Yichen, on behalf of the local political envoy Wang Ying, on behalf of the palace's long history Jian Ning, the tripartite joint impeachment of the Lu King Zhu Zhaohui for rebellion, is equivalent to giving Zhu Qizhen a reason to do it!

Zhu Zhaohui, the king of Kelu, has been a vassal for more than 40 years, and he can firmly control the officials of the local court, which means that he is not a simple person.

Shen Yichen wantonly arrested the governor Zhang Ji and the prince of Lu, no matter how hidden he was, he couldn't escape the eyes of Zhu Zhaohui, the king of Lu, at the boundary of Yanzhou Mansion.

After realizing that the situation was wrong, Zhu Zhaohui did not stupidly follow Shen Yichen, but immediately sent someone to Beijing with a letter of guilt. And this letter was not handed over to the court or the emperor, but to the Empress Dowager Sun!

Zhu Zhaohui knew very well that his relationship with Emperor Zhu Qizhen was not good, because over the years he had asked for Hajj several times, but each time he was rejected by Ming Yingzong on the grounds of "trekking in the road".

It's okay once or twice, but after refusing four or five times in a row, the fool understands that the emperor doesn't want to see him.

Shangshu pleaded guilty to Zhu Qizhen, which is likely to have no effect, on the contrary, the Empress Dowager Sun's ears are soft, and she has been in the wrong position, so she is very biased towards the clan of her relatives. In history, Li Shimian, the priest of the country, was rescued from Wang Zhen's hands by saying to the Empress Dowager Sun through his relatives Huichang Bo Sun Zhong.

So before this court meeting, Zhu Qizhen, who Mrs. Sun saw later, pleaded a few words for Zhu Zhaohui, the king of Lu.

This is why Zhu Qizhen's court performance is so strange and he has never taken the initiative to express his position.

In ancient times, filial piety ruled the world, even if Zhu Qizhen was dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Sun's plea, he could not publicly refute the opinions of the queen mother, so he could only wait slowly for the courtiers to say what he wanted!

"The British public said that the old man is planning the country, and the minister agrees to punish King Lu for the crime of rebellion!"

Since the emperor had already expressed his position, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was jointly in charge of the affairs of the clan, immediately changed his tone.

"The vassal king is not a minister, he should be severely punished to set an example, and the minister seconded it!"

Seeing the wind and steering the rudder, the first assistant of the cabinet, Ma Yu, stood up to express his opinion.

Seeing that the emperor, Xun Qi, the six ministries, and the cabinet had reached an agreement, even if the eunuch Wang Wen was not used to Shen Yichen, he understood what the general trend was.

"The rebellion of the vassal king should indeed be prevented before it happens, but the minister did not think it through, and please punish His Majesty."

Du Yushi Wang Wen immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, for this kind of mistake, of course Zhu Qizhen would not pursue it, and waved his hand to express forgiveness.

"Since all the Qing families have the same opinion, then pass on my edict and order Yu Shi Shen to send someone to the north to escort King Lu back to Beijing to ask for the crime!"

"Your Majesty."

With the compliments of the courtiers, the holy purpose of the king of Nalu was secretly sent to Shen Yichen's table a few days later.

When he saw this holy decree, Shen Yichen's inner emotions didn't know how to describe it for a while, it could be called a move to punish the king with no chance of winning, and he achieved it by himself!

You must know that in the rebellion of King Ning in later generations, Sun Sui, who was the governor of Jiangxi at the time, submitted seven letters of impeachment against King Ning's rebellion, but none of them were taken seriously by the imperial court. Even Jiangxi's criminal law procurator was almost poisoned by King Ning because of the report.

"The proprietor, the affected people in the land of three provinces and eight prefectures have finally waited for justice!"

Bian He was very excited at the moment, and his eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.

From beginning to end, he actually didn't approve of Shen Yichen doing what he wanted to do to punish the king.

Fairness and justice are important, and the future of all the people in the land of the three provinces and eight provinces is even more important!

Knowing that you can't do it, what you may get is not a good result.

But Shen Yichen did it, and brought down the high-ranking Prince Ming with the body of imperial history, returned justice to the people of the world, and comforted the souls of the deceased in the sky!

"Gather the soldiers and go to the Lu Mansion in Yanzhou to arrest the culprit!"

Shen Yichen didn't feel too much emotion, and after rolling up the holy decree, he immediately issued an order to Bian He.

"Yes, proprietor!"

Bian He reacted and immediately said yes.

The arrest of the holy decree is far from the last step, and the moment when King Lu dismisses the prince and confesses his guilt is the end!

Yanzhou Lu Wangfu, Lu King Zhu Zhaohui has been in panic all day long.

He probably didn't expect that one day he would be so afraid of a small four-rank official of the imperial court. I never thought that this imperial history would be so bold and reckless, and dare to attack his own prince!

The prince of the palace has been missing for more than ten days, and the family guards in captivity are like evaporating from the world and can no longer be contacted. Even Zhang Ji, the governor of Shandong, and the subordinates he sent out to visit, were blocked from the yamen of Yanggu County.

It is impossible for these people to lose contact at the same time, and the one who has the ability to do this in Shandong is undoubtedly Shen Yichen.

After realizing that the situation was wrong, Zhu Zhaohui immediately wrote a letter of invitation to the Empress Dowager Sun, but how much effect it could have, King Lu did not have a bottom in his heart.

The harem of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to interfere in politics, although there were heroines such as the Empress Dowager Zhang, but the Empress Dowager Sun's means and abilities were far worse than those of the Empress Dowager, and she did not have much influence on the situation in the imperial court.

In the past ten days, King Lu has sent people everywhere to find out the news, wanting to find out the whereabouts of Shizi and Zhang Ji.

As long as these two people can be rescued, and then unite with the Shandong Buzheng Division's own people, he can wrestle with Shen Yichen, and he will not be able to obtain enough testimony to convict himself.

Just as King Lu was anxiously waiting, a palace guard hurriedly ran in from outside the palace.

"Is there any news about Zhang Ji and Shizi?"

Before King Lu could wait for the guards to open his mouth, he hurriedly asked.

"Back to the prince, it's not the news of the prince, but a team of soldiers and horses from outside Yanzhou City, and the leader is Shen Yichen, the imperial history of the capital!"

Hearing the name Shen Yichen, Zhu Zhaohui felt that he was instantly paralyzed. It stands to reason that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is no rebellion, there will hardly be too serious punishment.

But I don't know why, Zhu Zhaohui always had an ominous premonition, Shen Yichen has been planning for so long, and the impeachment may be the crime of rebellion.

Now that he dares to lead the soldiers and horses to Yanzhou Mansion, it indicates that the result of impeachment is about to come out, King Lu can't believe it anyway, the court will believe Shen Yichen's false accusations?
