Zhao Tishuai, open the door and send King Xiang on the road!"

Shen Yichen gave an order with an expressionless face, and Zhao Hongjie, who was standing behind him, did not hesitate at all, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Shen Ge Lao."

Immediately afterwards, Wei San next to him untied the cell key from his waist, and in the panic and incredulous eyes of King Xiang, the two of them opened the cell door and approached him step by step like a god of death.

Is this king really going to die here?

If King Xiang still had a fluke mentality before, he would bet that Shen Yichen would never dare to do anything to himself, and even in the end, considering the impact of the rebellion of the feudal domains, the emperor would eventually compromise and retreat.

But when the murderous Zhao Hongjie and the two walked towards him, all illusions were shattered, and the threat of death was so real!

"This king...... This king ......"

Xiangwang Zhu Zhanfeng subconsciously wanted to say two cruel words, but he never had the courage to say them.

As a pampered Prince of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to relying on his noble birth to oppress the people and insult officials, he has never seen any real fierce scenes, and his tough image in the past is just a mask of hypocrisy.

Watching Zhao Hongjie approach step by step and pull out the saber on his waist, at this moment, the fear in the heart of Xiangwang Zhu Zhan was extreme, and he finally let go of all his dignity and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, this king is willing to confess his guilt!"

Hearing King Xiang shout these words, the corners of Shen Yichen's mouth showed an imperceptible smile.

To be honest, he was really not fully prepared to kill King Xiang, after all, the emperor clearly forbade Zhu Zhan to take his life, as long as he died, he would inevitably blame himself, and he couldn't even use any excuse for suicide.

Shen Yichen beckoned Zhao Hongjie to put on this posture, in fact, he was gambling, Zhu Zhandong, the king of gambling, was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not have the courage to resist to the end and risk his life. As long as it can break his psychological defense, let alone admit guilt, even if it makes him kneel on the ground and wag his tail and beg for mercy.

Facts have proved that Shen Yichen's guess was correct, there was no need to wait for the Qing army to enter the customs at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the vassal kings of the Jingtai Dynasty had lost the slightest blood and backbone after decades of pig raising.

This is true of King Lu, and the same is true of King Xiang.

Just as Shen Yichen was about to drink to make Zhao Hongjie stop, a reprimand suddenly came from behind him: "It's just nonsense!"

Jinyi Wei Prison is Zhao Hongjie's territory, in the face of this sudden reprimand, Shen Yichen was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he found that the person who came was actually Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

"The royal family and nobles are noble and prominent, and you should be dignified and decent, and you have crossed the line by acting like this to the north!"

Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong walked in front of Shen Yichen step by step, with a look of anger on his face, Shen Yichen, this kid is really lawless, with the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is so intimidating the Prince of Daming, do you really take the emperor's explanation as a deaf ear?

Fortunately, His Majesty left a back hand and ordered himself to go to the edict prison as a Zongren order, otherwise Shen Yichen really planned to take the life of King Xiang?

Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, who had already broken through the psychological defense line, saw Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, coming, as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly shouted at him: "Duke Chengguo, save this king, Shen Yichen, a chaotic minister and thief, plans to punish the king for rebellion!"

In the face of Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong's frantic plea for help, the smile on the corner of Shen Yichen's mouth deepened, it seemed that he really scared this Prince of Daming, and he couldn't even distinguish the most basic interpersonal relationships.

Rebellion is the crime of destroying the three clans, what is the relationship between himself and Chengguo Gong, will the other party kill your relatives for the righteousness of a king of Xiang, and take the lives of the whole clan by the way?

Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Zhandong's accusations, the expression on Zhu Yong's face suddenly changed, and he looked at him with a meaningful gaze. After realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Xiangwang Zhu Zhan Yuan reacted and hurriedly explained: "This king didn't mean this, Shen Yichen's words and deeds were out of line, and he asked Chengguo Gong to strictly control them."

"King Xiang, the dog is young and vigorous, and he acts more impulsively, if he offends just now, please forgive me."

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong apologized, and rarely used the title of "dog", in a sense, it was also a warning to Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, that he and Shen Yichen were father and son.

"Cheng Guogong, the face of this king, still has to be given, it doesn't matter."

Xiangwang Zhu Zhan immediately waved his hand to show that he didn't care, but now he was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

Seeing King Xiang's weak appearance, Zhu Yong's eyes showed a touch of embarrassment. I think that the Empress Dowager also planned to send an edict to welcome King Xiang to Beijing to inherit the throne of the Great Unification, but now it seems that even if the current saint has some shortcomings, at least in terms of courage, he has crushed the feudal domains!

"King Xiang, this duke is in charge of the affairs of the clan as the commander of the clan, and it is a serious crime to incite and participate in the rebellion. Your Majesty has already defined this matter, and I also ask King Xiang not to resist stubbornly, and to save the face of some of the emperor's relatives and relatives."

"In addition, Your Majesty hopes that King Xiang will personally write a confession to the vassals as an example."

This is the purpose of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who came to the Imperial Prison, in addition to watching Shen Yichen to prevent him from making radical moves, that is, he needs King Xiang to write a confession to appease the vassal kings of the world.

After all, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu can't be as free and easy as Shen Yichen, and he can say the words of the Dangping Domains with a sharp edge. As the Son of Heaven, he has to take into account the overall situation, ensure the peace and prosperity of the country, and force King Xiang to take the initiative to confess, which is the most stable way for the emperor to deal with it.

"It's not enough for Gejue to go to the country, you still want to make this king confess his sins and humiliate him by announcing his vassal affairs?"

Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong's eyes widened, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, suggested that he should nail himself to the pillar of shame and leave a stench for 10,000 years. Once the above table is announced to the world, there is not even the slightest possibility of overturning the case in the future.

After all, it is one thing for the emperor to be wronged, and it is another thing for you to take the initiative to admit it, and future generations will not help the traitor cry out!

"King Xiang, take the initiative to confess your guilt, maybe Your Majesty will be lenient, this is the best result."

Listening to Zhu Yong's admonition, Xiangwang Zhu Zhanyuan replied with resentment: "Shen Yichen just said that even if this king dies, he will not change the punishment of changing the lord to go to the country, are you two father and son singing red face and white face?"

Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong's words made Zhu Yong subconsciously glance at Shen Yichen, he was a little shocked in his heart at the moment, could it be that this kid really planned to kill King Xiang in the edict without considering the consequences?

"Grandpa, I said that some people don't eat and drink when they toast, so don't bother to talk and leave it to the juniors to deal with it."

After Shen Yichen saw this scene, he persuaded Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, instead.

Times have changed, and the feudal domains cannot be frightened by appeasing them, and only thunderous means can make them afraid.

"King Lu, this official gives you the opportunity to write a letter to confess your guilt, don't write that you can't see the sun of tomorrow, which one to choose."

Shen Yichen did not continue to threaten King Xiang, after such an interruption by Cheng Guogong, coupled with the fact that the two sides did fit the posture of singing red and white, and continuing to threaten would not have the previous effect.

On the contrary, Zhu Taikan, the king of Lu, had personally experienced Shen Yichen's actions to punish the king, and he knew very well in his heart that this was not a simple threat, and the other party really dared to do so.

"This king will write!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Taikan, the king of Lu, made a choice, even if the prince of the Ming Dynasty was abolished as a concubine and went to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb, all kinds of treatment were far from being comparable to the poor people, at least they could make a living.

In fact, if you are serious about it, how is it not a big cage in terms of feudal feudal country, and you can't take a step out of the royal city without the special permission of the emperor in your life, how much difference is there from being trapped in Fengyang Mansion?

King Lu Zhu Taikan confessed his guilt so simply, which really broke through the imagination of Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang. I thought that the other party was suffering the revenge of killing his father, and he would definitely fight to the end with Shen Yichen, but the result was really a coward!

"King Xiang, now it's your turn to make a choice, I won't say the same question a second time, don't think that Grandpa can save your life here, this official will do what he says."

It was still like that killing intent, and Shen Yichen didn't seem to care at all about the presence of Chengguo Gong, who was the order of the sect. It made King Xiang feel even more impossible

Thoughtfully, this time Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong did not refute, but stood aside and acquiesced in Shen Yichen's words.

The clan commander in charge of royal affairs can let the ministers persecute the clan relatives, which is simply a big joke in the world.

"Huh...... This king has admitted it, this Ming Dynasty has a father and son of female cadres, I am afraid that they will die!"

Xiangwang Zhu Zhan finally recognized the reality at this moment, Shen Yichen can indeed cover the sky with one hand, at least in the edict. Instead of stubbornly resisting and dying here in vain, he can write a confession and go to Fengyang Mansion to survive.

In a sense, there is no essential difference between Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, and Zhu Taikan, the king of Lu, and the two have the same end.

"If the Ming Dynasty dies or not, it won't be King Xiang's turn to worry about it, Zhao Tishuai's follow-up matters will be handed over to you to deal with, and let the two princes write a good confession."

"Yes, the subordinate obeys."

Zhao Hongjie naturally understood what Shen Yichen meant by "write well", which meant that everything that happened in today's edict and prison must not be known to the emperor through a few words.

"Grandpa, then let's go out first."

Shen Yichen bowed down and made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and the two walked out of the Jinyi Guard's Prison in such a way.

"To the north, Your Majesty ordered my father to come to help, but in fact, I am not at ease with your handling of it. If Bengong is one step too late and you kill King Xiang, how will it end?"

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the edict prison, Zhu Yong, the prince of Chengguo, warned him, he knew that Shen Yichen had some actions behind Shen Yichen that could be called "rebellion", and he did not doubt that this kid would really kill King Xiang in the edict prison under his impulse.

But the problem is that it is easy to kill King Xiang, but it is difficult to deal with it in the future, how can you act so recklessly as an important minister of the court?

Facing Cheng Guogong's warning, Shen Yichen only smiled: "Grandpa, the younger generation has its own measure, King Xiang must have the courage to die unyieldingly, and he will not only instigate King Guangtong to rebel behind his back."

"Even more presumptuous, if King Xiang had the courage to force the palace, he would not have dragged King Lu and King Zhao to bluff, and put pressure on His Majesty with the rebellion of all the vassals in the world, so why not raise an army to rebel?"

Shen Yichen's words and deeds threatening Zhu Zhandong, the king of Xiang, seemed to be reckless and impulsive, but in fact, he knew it in his heart and knew that the other party would definitely compromise.

Don't look at the title of Xiangwang Zhu Zhandong, who has the title of the son-in-law of Mingrenzong, and has the qualifications and high respect of the state several times, as if he can suppress Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, but Shen Yichen knows very well that this is just a manifestation of being strong and capable.

If King Xiang is ambitious and loyal, even if he gives up the edict of Empress Dowager Sun inviting him to Beijing, he wants to return the throne to Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong. But as long as Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu breaks his promise, he can raise troops to fight, and he can use the name of "Shu out of the puppet emperor".

The banner of Xiangwang Zhu Zhan is not a pretense of fooling people on the side of the Qing monarch, and he can really find a legal basis in "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", and his legitimacy is definitely not inferior to Zhu Di's name of "Fengtian Jingjing" back then.

As a result, Zhu Zhan didn't dare to do anything, but only used the tone of the elders in the yin and yang weirdness in the above table to make Zhu Qiyu respect the emperor, treat the crown prince Zhu Jianshen well, return the throne after a hundred years, and so on.

Will such a person not be afraid of death?

Listening to Shen Yichen's reasoning, Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong was speechless for a while, he couldn't deny the factual basis, and indeed as long as Zhu Zhandong's psychological defense line was ruthless enough, he couldn't bear it.

It can only be said that looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, only Shen Yichen dares to do this and can do this.

"To the north, even if you are completely sure, this move is tantamount to taking millet from the fire. Your Majesty can order this father to come, which means that his suspicion has reached a critical point in his heart, and he must learn to protect himself wisely."

Cheng Guogong's advice, Shen Yichen understood that it was for his own good, he was not a proud person, nodded and said, "Grandpa warns, the younger generation will remember it."

"If you can really listen, that's fine."

Zhu Yong smiled bitterly, after getting along all these years, he knew Shen Yichen's character too well. This kid is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he will definitely not give an inch on the bottom line.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you."

"Grandpa, please speak."

"Crown Prince Zhu Jianji was infected with the wind chill when he was playing in the Imperial Garden earlier, I guess you remember, right?"

"Yes."

Shen Yichen nodded in response, behind this is a game involving all forces, and Zhu Jianji is the fuse that changed the situation.

"My father recently got the news that the crown prince was not infected with the wind cold, but someone pushed him into the pool and almost drowned. The palace maids and eunuchs who took care of it at that time were afraid that His Majesty would blame them, so they didn't say that they didn't take care of the occasional cold."

"That's how Grandpa knows?"

A solemn expression finally appeared on Shen Yichen's face, he thought that someone had taken care of the palace maid and eunuch, so that Zhu Jianji was cold in the imperial garden, and the methods were relatively secret and not attracting attention.

As a result, I didn't expect that the other party was so rampant that the palace dared to attack directly!

"My father went to ask the great uncle, and he told him."
