Chapter 309: Against the Rebels, You Can Kill First and Play Later!
Zhu Youzhen looked at Gao Qi and said, "You go and see first, what is the situation on the Daming Gate!" ”
Gao Qiqian was stunned.
After a while, Gao Qiqian asked Zhu Youzhen: "The prince wants to find out first, whether the rebellion of the Tang King has been successful?" ”
Zhu Youjian nodded: "If the wood is already in the boat, it is not impossible to recognize him as a prisoner." After all, the time has to focus on the big picture! ”
"Slave and maid understand! Slave and maid, go now! ”
Gao Qi responded with a dive.
And Zhu Youzhen rubbed his hands and kept taking deep breaths.
At that time, there were more and more civil officials and scholars who came to the palace to ask for the king's supervision.
They have already begun to hope that they will be the first to invite King Xin to supervise the country, and then they will be the first to get the opportunity to be favored by King Xin.
Of course, in terms of the original reason, they really want to restore the Confucian model of etiquette and governance in which the Ming Dynasty no longer expands externally for external benefits and values harmony.
The material resources of China are all with the joy of the country.
Cixi is not the only one who thinks this way.
Many landlords in the Ming Dynasty also had this idea.
This rich land and the industrious Han people on the land make them just want to live quietly by sucking the fat and ointment of the Han people, and even use the power of Waiyi to further absorb more of the people's fat and ointment, so how can they let the resources of the world that they could have privately swallowed with the Waiyi become owned by the imperial court and the people of the world through external expansion.
Therefore, the landlords really wanted the Ming Dynasty to continue to value peace and implement the Confucian royal road.
Would like to.
I think very much.
Kong Zhenyun, a scholar of Dongge University, couldn't help it at this time, and hurriedly came to King Xin's mansion, and also shouted loudly: "I want to serve Shaobao to guard the country for the Ming Dynasty, and King Xin may serve as the prison of the country for the Ming Dynasty?!" ”
Kong Zhenyun even said that he wanted to learn from Yu Qian because of this.
But in fact, Kong Zhenyun also lost too much at this time because he speculated on the stocks of Maoshan Iron Mine some time ago, and wanted to make up some profits to come back, so he wanted to take the opportunity to support King Lixin to go further in power, after all, as long as the power is greater, what interests in Daming can't be made up?
For example, this time the Maoshan iron mine, even if it is really a gold mountain, does not necessarily have to become an iron mine in the Ming Dynasty in order to earn its mining profits, and it can obtain huge profits by colluding with foreign countries to smuggle iron ore.
Of course, Kong Zhenyun dared to do this now because he heard the sound of cannons outside, and saw that more and more civil officials and scholars began to support King Xin, and he himself really liked to restore the royal road thought advocated by Confucianism, so he stood up decisively at this time and became the first cabinet scholar to openly support King Xin's appointment as a supervisor.
Then, Wu Zongda also stood up for the same reason.
And because even the ministers began to stand up for King Shin to be appointed as the prison of the country, it also aroused a larger call for King Xin to be the prison of the country.
Zhu Youzhen himself also learned that two ministers also supported him, and it further stimulated the desire for imperial power that had long been frozen.
Originally, since the crown prince was established, he knew completely that he could not become an emperor, and he did not dare to have the mind of an emperor again.
But there are always people who are dissatisfied with realpolitik, and repeatedly express their desire for him to be emperor, so that he often begins to fantasize about what it would be like if he became emperor.
And now, after mistakenly thinking that Tianqi was really captured by Jiannu, and even the ministers came out to support him, he naturally felt that he might really need to stand up at this time and take a step towards the throne!
In particular, Gao Qiqian, a person with ulterior motives, also told him that King Tang is now colluding with Wei Zhongxian and others to seize the crown prince's throne.
But reason told him that the more he was at this time, the more he could not be in a hurry.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen was still waiting for Gao Qi to sneak back, and came back to tell him whether King Tang had succeeded or not, if King Tang did not succeed, he would definitely fight for his sister-in-law and nephew, and not let the throne belong to his clan!
But if King Tang succeeds, he feels that he doesn't need to fight for his sister-in-law and nephew, and there is no need to fight for his throne.
This is the cautious attitude that one should have.
I don't know how long it took, Gao Qiqian finally walked back, and as soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen, he said, "Emperor! King Tang's rebels are still blocked outside the Daming Gate, and General He is desperately defending the city! There is no movement in the palace city now, but it is certain that sooner or later His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother will be controlled by Wei Zhongxian and them, we have to hurry over to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother, while General He is still willing to defend the Daming Gate! ”
"General He is really a loyal minister!"
Zhu Youzhen sighed, and then made up his mind: "Open the door of the mansion, and I want to take the palace guards to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother!" ”
"Yes!"
Gao Qiqian was obviously lying, forcibly saying that Ma Ke, who was attacking Daming Gate outside, was Wei Zhongxian's comrade, and the rebel was Wei Zhongxian.
But Zhu Youzhen is not an immortal, so naturally he can't guess that the high potential around him deliberately lied to deceive him, just like in history, he couldn't guess that some courtiers were lying to him many times.
What's more, Zhu Youzhen is now more willing to believe this.
As soon as the door of the mansion opened, all the civil officials and scholars outside the palace of King Xin were excited, because His Royal Highness King Xin, who had been calling for a long time, was finally willing to come out and defend the Confucian sage doctrine with them!
Zhu Youzhen said: "You are solid for the country, how can you stay out of the matter, at this time of turmoil, you should be alone and shed blood for the temple community!" ”
"Believe in the king's wisdom!"
The crowd hurriedly flattered and flattered.
Zhu Youzhen then asked loudly: "Now please go to Xiyuan with Gu to fight against the traitor and save the East Palace and the queen!" ”
"Obey the king!"
Everyone immediately replied.
Some people even shouted: "Rebel and eliminate traitors!" ”
So, Zhu Youzhen then strode forward, surrounded by civil officials and scholars, and he came to Xiyuan together.
Dada!
Dada!
Dada!
At this time, a large number of Jinyi guards had already arrived, and had set up roadblocks on the road from Xinwangfu to Xiyuan.
Wei Zhongxian was not a vegetarian after all, and after he learned that an armed soldier had raided the Jinyi guards outside King Xin's mansion, he immediately mobilized other Jinyi guards to come to the rescue.
At the same time, Wei Zhongxian had already set up barricades on the streets and prepared the Jinyi Guard.
Not long after Zhu Youzhen and his party set off, they saw a large group of brocade guards in front of them, and they were standing behind the barricades erected by wood to prevent the cavalry from charging, and they were all holding repeating bows and crossbows.
Because Jinyiwei's duty is to operate in the palace forbidden, and it is convenient to treat and interrogate thieves after arresting them, they also use crossbow machines that are more automatic and convenient to operate.
Wei Zhongxian, who came here in person, also walked out at this time and shouted, "His Royal Highness King Xin!" Niangniang's dictation, Jinyi Wei can be against those who are armed and want to rebel, first cut and then play! Therefore, I ask Your Highness to go back, lest we hurt you! ”
The queen is the master of the harem and can make decrees to the inner court harem, and Wei Zhongxian, as a member of the inner court, is regarded as a royal servant, so he is naturally obliged to carry out the queen's edict.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian directly said that it was his mother's message at this time.
Zhu Youzhen now only thinks that Wei Zhongxian has colluded with the Tang King to rebel, so he doesn't believe it, so he says: "Wei Zhongxian! You kidnapped the imperial sister-in-law and the crown prince, intending to collude with the Tang King to rebel and seize the throne, and you already know everything! Therefore, you have to coax Gu here and falsely spread the words of the mother! ”
Zhu Youzhen took a step back as he spoke, and shouted to the armed soldiers with handcuffs: "It's up to you now!" ”
Fu Yi gradually said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will defend the orthodoxy of the famous religion to the death!" Willing to serve His Highness! ”
"Slow!"
Wei Zhongxian shouted at this time, and then shouted at Zhu Youzhen: "Your Royal Highness King Xin, please don't listen to the instigation of traitors, there is no rebellion of King Tang at all, only traitors are instigating the emperor to fight!" Otherwise, King Xin can wait for our family to invite His Royal Highness King Tang to come out, and he will explain it to His Highness! ”
"No rebellion?"
Zhu Youzhen was taken aback and looked at Gao Qiqian.
