The two old incidents of King Zhu and the killing of the king, since Wang Zhen informed the Empress Dowager Sun, have almost become an open secret.

No one controls the substantive evidence, but the whole officialdom knows it.

Whenever Shen Yichen makes some big moves, these two things will definitely be brought up again by old things, and thus become a kind of constraint that can't let go, and you have to consider the pressure that public opinion will bring in advance.

It wasn't until Shen Yichen went out of southern Mongolia for two years, relying on the work of opening up the territory, that the rumors of discussion between the DPRK and China were slowly suppressed. As a result, in the third year of Jingtai, King Lu moved out again to cause a general trend, which really smelled like a dog skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off.

In the past, Shen Yichen did not have the ability to suppress the public opinion in the world, but now that he is in a high position, he has to show the power and prestige of the superior, so that those who want to settle old accounts in the future can carefully consider before doing things, whether they have the ability to bear revenge.

Not to mention that this time he also got the support of the emperor, and he has the right not to expire and be invalid, so it is time to let the civil and military officials of the Beijing Division feel Shen Yichen's style of thunder in the local area, otherwise it is really easy to be pinched as a soft persimmon.

"To the north, it's no problem for me to mobilize the Jinyi Guards to accompany you to get people, but you also know that the Son of Heaven's pro-army has a special identity, and after this action is spread to His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid there will be some hidden worries."

Zhao Honghui reminded him in words, you must know that the biggest difference between Shen Yichen's form and style in Beijing and Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, is that even if he forms a party for personal gain, he always maintains a low-key and forbearant attitude, and never shows how many "henchmen" he has.

Especially the head of the intelligence department like Zhao Hongjie, in order to let him gain enough trust by the emperor's side, Shen Yichen never thought of getting help from Jinyiwei's side even if he faced many difficulties and obstacles in government affairs.

After all, the nominal allegiance of the Son of Heaven's army can only be the emperor, and once it is closely related to the important ministers of the imperial court, many core secrets will be retained. This is also the dilemma that Zhao Hongjie has been facing in the past few years as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the emperor of extra-palace affairs still gave him enough trust.

But when it comes to the secret affairs of the palace, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu believes that Zhao Hongjie, the eunuch brought out from the hidden palace, cannot become an absolute confidant.

If you go with Shen Yichen to arrest the three kings this time, it will definitely increase the suspicion and vigilance in the emperor's heart, and it will be more difficult to meddle in the affairs of the palace.

Facing Zhao Hongjie's reminder, Shen Yichen only smiled calmly: "Don't worry, it's not that I want to win the three kings this time, Your Majesty wants more."

Shen Yichen naturally couldn't tell anyone about the conversation between the imperial study and Zhu Qiyu, even Zhao Hongjie and Li Da, brothers who shared life and death. The result of the failure of the three kings to go to Beijing is doomed, and it is nothing more than how this matter ends.

Shen Yichen's idea was to use the emperor's delegation of power to pull the banner as a tiger skin, and make things as big as possible. Just as he couldn't make the conversation in the imperial study public, would Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu publicly admit that he wanted to take the kings after Shen Yichen's fox fake tiger might?

The answer is obvious, after Shen Yichen sang with a white face, Emperor Jingtai sang with a red face at most to appease the grievances of the world's vassals. will never admit that he and Shen Yichen are actually accomplices, and they both want to abolish the privileges of their clansmen.

"Zhao Hongjie, I said before that you are grinding and chirping like a girl, and now you are still so timid. If I am afraid that I will mobilize the Liaodong army and go north to take down the three kings, Lao Tzu will not believe it, and they will dare to rebel at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"

Li Da, who was already a little drunk, couldn't understand Zhao Hongjie's worries at all, and immediately snorted when he saw his "hesitant" expression.

Seeing Li Da's coarse appearance, Zhao Hongjie sighed and was too lazy to agree. In the past, in the outer courtyard of Ying Tianchengguo's mansion, everyone was a difficult brother at the end of the crane, but Shen Yichen took the three-yuan and first, and he had no achievements in his fame, so he had a good IQ and served as the commander of Jinyiwei.

Only Li Da, this kid, is still the same as the school in the outer courtyard, I really don't know whether to say that this "innocence" is lucky or unlucky.

"I mobilized Jinyiwei to take people reasonably and legally, not to support the army and rebel, you kid will disappear in the capital with one mouth

Stop."

Shen Yichen couldn't help but complain, then turned to look at Zhang Qi and said, "Let's drink here today, a few of you will help Li Da back to the camp, and Hongjie and I will go to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the time when the three kings will enter the city, and if you want to play, you can play a big one."

"Yes, big brother."

Zhang Qi didn't say a word, he pulled Wu Rong to Li Da's side, and took his two arms on the left and the right to take him out.

But at this moment, Li Da broke free, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "How can Lao Tzu get drunk with a thousand glasses of wine, wait a minute, I still have one more thing to say."

"What's the matter?"

Shen Yichen asked casually.

"In the future, Lao Tzu will stay in the Shenji Camp, and Jingshi can't let Zhao Hongjie, this kid, drip in the muddy waters."

After that, before Shen Yichen could respond, Li Da left the restaurant box without looking back.

"If you can be reliable, you have to be a brother."

Shen Yichen said softly, with an indescribable emotion in his heart.

He knew very well that Li Da didn't like the officialdom environment of Jingshi, and he didn't want to be in the middle of a power struggle every day. But for the sake of his own consideration, he still made the choice to stay in Beijing, which is a real brotherhood!

"Without this righteousness, Li Da couldn't be the boss of the Outer Courtyard School before."

Zhao Hongjie replied silently, after so many years, his childhood companions are still willing to follow Li Da and fight side by side, which is enough to explain everything.

"Let's go."

Shen Yichen stood up, patted Zhao Hongjie's arm casually, and also walked out of the box of the restaurant.

On May 21 of the third year of Jingtai, in the direction of the Dongzhi Gate of the Beijing Division, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Xing, the secretary of the Honglu Temple, led a group of officials to prepare to welcome the three kings into Beijing.

You must know that since the success of Zhu Dijing's martyrdom, except for the death of important figures such as the emperor, in principle, the prince of the vassal has not been allowed to go to Beijing. Many vassal kings have been in the feudal kingdom for a lifetime, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the emperor's permission to go to Beijing to have a look, let alone the three kings make a pilgrimage at the same time as today.

In addition, King Xiang, King Lu, King Zhao and others are the sons of the first emperors of the past dynasties, and their identities are noble and respectful, and the court here also took out a very high standard of etiquette to receive, and even the time of entering the city was specially calculated by Qintian, and Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, greeted him personally, which can be described as extremely grand.

Hu Hu and Yang Xing stood in front of the city gate, looking at the endless prince's travel team in the distance, and the expressions on their faces were very exciting.

"Uncle Zong, the three kings' flamboyant entry into Beijing, I'm afraid it's not good."

Yang Xing, the Qing of Honglu Temple, said meaningfully, the content of King Lu's chapter is well known to everyone in Beijing, and with such a big guard pomp, it is obvious that he wants to make things bigger.

"If the good ones don't come, we just need to receive them according to etiquette, and as for who should have a headache in the future, it's not in our consideration."

Hu Hu still had a calm face, he had never seen any storms in the Six Dynasties, and the more flamboyant the posture of King Xiang and the others became, it exposed the essence of their weak hearts. If you really have the ambition to take advantage of the situation, you should keep a low profile and forbear not let the emperor find out about the abnormality, and wait for the best time to come.

"What the great uncle said is very true."

Yang Xing complimented him, but he still didn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and continued to ask, "Uncle Zong, then you said that if this matter is a big problem, how should Shen Ge Lao and His Majesty end up?"

There is no one who can rank in the Great Jiuqing who is not a human spirit, King Lu is interested in Shen Yichen, but in fact, it is Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu who is "pointing at the sword". Now that the "Regulations of the Sect and the Domain" and the edict of Yi Chu have been promulgated all over the world, it is often said that it is impossible for the monarch to take it back without jokes, and the two sides seem to have no steps to go down.

"If the edge is too strong and doesn't know how to converge, it will often reap the consequences, Shen Ge doesn't know how to end up, and it will be very easy for Your Majesty to end up."

"The lower official is stupid, and please ask the great uncle to speak clearly."

"Abandoned son."

Just two words

The emperor's retreat is at most a reproduction of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Hearing Hu Hui's answer, Yang Xing was a little afraid to say more. But he still has a skepticism in his heart, judging from Shen Yichen's style of acting, he will not be caught like Han Zhichao, and he will really fall to the point of being an abandoned son?

Just when Yang Xing was a little confused, the sound of uniform footsteps came from the direction of Jingshi City, and countless brocade guards wearing blue and green brocade clothes appeared on the street, galloping towards the direction of Dongzhimen, led by two adults wearing flying fish suits, and the people along the way all avoided their side looks.

That's right, it was Shen Yichen and Zhao Hongjie who were wearing flying fish suits!

As the saying goes, Shen Yichen's temperament has always been unassuming, and the royal flying fish suit is rarely displayed except for special moments. But this time, he wants to make the power and majesty to the extreme, so that the feudal clans and the officials of the capital can see what it means to be a real young man in a high position.

As the distance from Dongzhimen was gradually drawn in, the footsteps of "boom" naturally reached the ears of Hu Hu and Yang Xing. At first, they thought it was the sound of the footsteps of the guards of the three kings outside the city, until the entourage next to them reminded them that the sound came from behind them.

When the two looked back, they happened to see Shen Yichen riding on a tall horse, heading towards Dongzhimen with an overbearing attitude, and they could vaguely feel a murderous aura.

"Uncle Zong, Shen Ge Lao's move may not look like the operation of an abandoned son......

Yang Xing, the secretary of Honglu Temple, said this sentence in a staggered manner, when the three kings entered Beijing, Shen Yichen rushed over with a large number of brocade guards, obviously not coming to greet him.

It's just that if Shen Yichen is here to fight, it is really a bit too amazing, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has any courtier dared to do something with the prince?

Not to mention Yang Xing, even Hu Hu was stunned at the moment. He thought that Shen Yichen would be tough to the end, quibble and regress, and admit mistakes and compromise under the pressure of the feudal domains.

I only didn't think that he would lead the troops over and be tough!

Could it be that he can't think of a solution and plans to break the jar?

Before Hu Hu and Yang Xing came back to their senses, Shen Yichen and Zhao Hongjie had already come to them.

Turning over and dismounting, Shen Yichen first arched his hand and said, "I've seen the Great Sect Uncle."

It wasn't until he heard Shen Yichen's salute that Hu Hu remembered to return the salute and said, "Shen Zhongtang is polite."

"Xia Guan has seen Shen Ge Lao."

Yang Xing also hurriedly saluted Shen Yichen.

"Shen Zhongtang, this official is ordered by His Majesty to welcome the three kings into Beijing for the pilgrimage, I don't know what you mean by bringing the brocade guard?"

Hu Hui's mood calmed down quickly, as the chief officer of the Ministry of Rites, he was holding a welcoming ceremony, if Shen Yichen did not have the emperor's order, leading the troops over like this would be no different from smashing the field.

"The cabinet suspected that King Xiang was instigated to participate in the case of King Guangtong's rebellion, so it notified Jinyi Wei Tishuai to come over to assist in the investigation."

What?

Hearing Shen Yichen say that King Xiang was involved in the rebellion case, even Hu Hu, who had seen many storms and waves in the Six Dynasties, couldn't help but show a deep shock on his face at this moment.

"Shen Zhongtang, the stakes are so high, do you have any evidence?"

"I found out after checking."

Shen Yichen lightly threw out a sentence, at present, the conclusive evidence is only known to the emperor, and he has to escort King Guangtong and King Yangzong back to Beijing from Fengyang Mansion for arraignment.

"Then there is a holy oracle from His Majesty?"

"No comment."

Shen Yichen and Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu had a private conversation, and it was impossible to tell Hu Hu in public, and all he could give was these four words.

"Arrogant!"

In the face of Shen Yichen's "arrogant" attitude, Hu Hu, who has always been quite deep in the city, can't suppress the anger in his heart at this moment.

"Shen Zhongtang, this is not a child's play, it is Prince Daming who you want to ask for the crime, and you can't afford the consequences if something goes wrong!"

Looking at Hu Hui's angry face, Shen Yichen didn't explain too much, but just replied with a smile: "Uncle Zong, over the years, you think that this cabinet seems to be impulsive and reckless

people?"

Shen Yichen's rhetorical question instantly stunned Hu Hu, and indeed many times he would be confused by the young face in front of him, thinking that this son would act impulsively when he was young and frivolous.

But in fact, Shen Yichen has been in the officialdom over the years, and it is no exaggeration to describe it with the words "old and seeking the country". Is it possible to act so arrogantly and wantonly without the emperor's instructions or endorsement?

After thinking about this, the anger in Hu Hui's heart instantly calmed down, and he just stared at Shen Yichen and admonished: "To the north, moving the prince is a point of no return, you are playing with fire!"

Even if Shen Yichen has the emperor's backing behind him, this kind of move also has an extremely high risk, and it is easy to be pushed out by the emperor when he can't end the game. In particular, Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor, did not issue a holy decree through the General Administration Department, and made it clear that he left a way back and did not want to take responsibility.

In the face of Hu Hui's admonition, Shen Yichen smiled, then took a step forward and whispered back, "Uncle Zong, do you think it's the first time I'm playing with fire?"

Shen Yichen's words in his ear made Hu Hui's pupils shrink violently, and he understood the meaning behind it!
