Chapter 144: Shadow Emperor King Qin
Because the north side of the imperial city is the camp of the forbidden army, there are few people who have passed.
So today, the three grandfathers and grandsons of the Zhu family came out of the palace from here.
At this time, when I returned to the palace, in order to avoid people's eyes, I naturally returned from this side.
Zhu Yunxi, who was behind and pushing his father, looked up from time to time at an old man sitting in front with his hands behind his back.
The old man did not seem to be pleased to hear his people praise him today, but rather a little secretly.
Just when Zhu Yunxi was thinking about something, the prince turned around and patted the back of his hand.
Lowering his head, Zhu Yunxi heard his father whisper: "Go!" ”
As he spoke, Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yunxi at the old man in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi understood, turned around, and explained the wheelchair to take a bag of broken silver out of the palace, but now it is empty in the hands of Sun Gou'er.
He himself rushed to the old man's side from behind and whispered, "Grandpa......"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, who was worried.
"Why don't you talk to your father?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "My grandson saw my grandfather walking in front alone, and I wondered if my grandfather heard the praise of the people, and he was secretly happy by himself." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Yunxi, seeing the worried emotions in his grandson's words.
He waved his hand and put his hands behind his back again: "We're just thinking, our Daming just let the people stutter now, have clothes to wear, and children can go to school, we will get such a big praise, but we are worried in our hearts......"
The old man muttered in a low voice: "When we think about it, at that time, we all thought that if the official master can let us eat a full meal, it will be worth it no matter how hard and tired we are." We feel that Qianyuan will be killed thousands of times again, and they deserve it! ”
"It's just that these people have suffered, but now they can only eat and clothe, and they feel satisfied. But we still think that we can ask them to eat better and dress better, so that the children in the family can know how to read. ”
"During the New Year's holidays, you can eat meat at home, and you can rely on the old and finish well."
Zhu Yunxi also sighed, and then comforted: "Grandpa, you have done well enough, the former Yuan has done all kinds of evil deeds, and the people are complaining."
It is Grandpa that you drive away the Tartar humiliation and recover the Central Plains, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Now our Daming is already very good, and your old wish will be fulfilled one day, but this fat man can't eat it in one bite. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, turned to look at Zhu Yunxi, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "But we are old, we know our body, we can't live a long life." We still have so many things to do, can you do it when we let go? ”
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if grandpa you have done everything, then what do you want your children and grandchildren to do, won't it seem that your children and grandchildren are useless in the future......"
Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed and happy at this time, waiting for Zhu Yunxi to say: "Just count what you know best, how can you get it?" Grandpa has done everything for you, making it easier for you, aren't you happy? ”
Zhu Yunxi smiled innocently.
The crown prince Zhu Biao, who was lagging behind, had already caught up, and he chuckled and said, "Dad, the second child will go home tomorrow." Is it to prepare for the palace today? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared: "What are you going to prepare?" We've got a board for him! ”
The second child asks for more blessings!
The second uncle must be strong!
Zhu Yunxi and the prince's father glanced at each other, and mourned for a moment in their hearts for King Qin, who had not yet returned to Beijing.
But it finally diverted the old man's depressed mood.
……
Following.
Early in the morning, Zhu Yunxi put on the imperial grandson's court clothes that the old man had prepared a long time ago.
In the early dynasty today, it was still him, as the grandson of the imperial emperor of the prison state, outside the main hall to the Chinese military officials of the DPRK, listening to state affairs.
The old man was still hiding in the palace, chatting with the prince as if he had been talking about the family all the time.
Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair peacefully, and there was still Xie Jin, a bachelor from Hanlin, and Xia Yuanji, the director of the Household Department of Qing Officials, next to him, but today there was an additional Tie Xuan from the Ministry of Rites.
Baiguan Mountain calls the emperor's grandson a thousand years old.
Then, Zhu Yunxi looked over with a blank look.
He keenly felt that these officials today were a little different.
With just a glance, he swept towards Zhan Hui, the official secretary who was standing at the front of the civil official train.
Zhan Hui was a little hesitant, not knowing how to explain this matter.
But at this time, in the military general's train, several people walked out of the train together.
It is headed by Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, several meritorious generals of the Ming Dynasty.
When the group came out, they fell to their knees.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the sudden appearance, not to show a curious expression, and immediately saw the second uncle standing at the front, the founding prince Changsheng, and immediately reacted.
Then, Zhu Yunxi leaned back in the chair with a smile: "Is there something wrong?" ”
His questions were casual and approachable.
However, Cao Zhen and others have been too worried in their hearts these days, since it was in the Right Army Governor's Mansion, I heard that Tang Li, the young son of Xinguo Gong, was going to return to Beijing to re-enter the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and he was also in charge of the forbidden army with Chang Sen, and the emperor's grandson also intended to increase the pro-army.
After hearing the explanation of the founding prince, they realized that His Majesty and the imperial grandson were to divide the military generals of the court and not allow one family to dominate.
The excesses and relinquishements of power are often accompanied by strife and even death and injury.
In view of this, under the reminder of the founding father, they are busy picketing at home these days to see if their family has done anything wrong, and they are even more quick to send people back to their hometown in Zhongdu to investigate the situation.
It's okay not to check, but a check scared them.
In recent years, because the emperor has been sitting on a large scale a few years ago, the founding exploits of Huaiyou have been dealt with by a number of people. Those of them who survived were a little restrained themselves.
But I don't want to, the people in my family are still rampant and domineering all these years.
Now in the face of the fact that the Xinguo Gong family wants to divide power in the army, how can they not be in a hurry.
lest His Majesty or the imperial grandson take the knife on himself.
Cao Zhen bowed heavily on the gold bricks, and then said in a deep voice: "Emperor Qi's grandson, please be guilty!" ”
"Ministers please!"
As Cao Zhen spoke, these meritorious generals who found out that they had committed crimes at home opened their mouths to plead guilty.
This scene was unique, attracting the attention of the civil officials on the side.
I was surprised in my heart, I don't know what kind of medicine these generals who have been five big and three rough all day long, reckless and vulgar, what kind of medicine they took today, and they even played such a crime as a guilty plea.
In other words, do they know the allusion to the guilt of the guilt?
The civil officials were also like a few days ago, when the generals gathered in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and looked like they were in the same state of mind when they saw the excitement of arresting people at the Jinyi Guard Yamen on the opposite side.
Zhu Yunxi asked knowingly, oh: "What are you guilty of?" Why didn't I know that the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department had not submitted an impeachment recital? ”
Cao Zhen opened his mouth and said: "The minister is guilty, and it was recently found out that there were servants in the family who oppressed the people, and now they have been tied up and sent to the Yingtianfu Yamen." The ministers are negligent, please punish the emperor's grandson! ”
"The minister recently found out that the family had encroached on 800 acres of land, and the family had been ordered to clear the field.
"The minister recently found out that the family forcibly bought a people's daughter, and the offender has been sent to the Yingtianfu Yamen to give compensation. However, the minister is guilty of negligence, please punish the emperor's grandson! ”
"The minister recently found out that someone in the family occupied 1,700 acres of land in Fengyang, and it has now been cleared.
"The Guilty ......"
"The minister asked the imperial grandson to punish the crime......"
As Cao Zhen opened his mouth to ask for guilt, after explaining the reason, the military generals who had made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country one after another reported to their families, exposed their shortcomings, and asked themselves for their crimes.
!
Shouldn't these meritorious generals do these things that bully men and women, run rampant and domineering, and fish and meat towns?
Why has he become average today, and he has reported to the government, compensated, and cleared, and he is still playing the trick of asking for guilt.
The civil servants couldn't help but look sideways at the sun in the sky.
The sun didn't hit the west today.
This made some of the civil officials who were originally preparing to go out to work suddenly stop their own things and want to see the excitement of these generals first.
Zhu Yunxi looked at these meritorious generals of the national dynasty who had asked for punishment, his eyes were gloomy, and his palms slowly slapped the armrests.
He didn't expect these guys to be so bold.
Looks like I'm scared.
Or is it ......
From the corner of Zhu Yunxi's eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the hall behind him.
Perhaps, they are afraid that the old man will purge the Huaiyou meritorious heroes again.
However, this time the persecution of the merits was all Zhu Yunxi's own idea, and it is far better to let these people kneel here now than to be found out by civil officials or old men in the future and cut off all their brains.
In the later Battle of Jingjing, why did the imperial court repeatedly lose its troops and generals.
Of course, there are many reasons, but there are no of them, since the beginning of the blue jade downward purge has not yet happened, and it probably will not happen.
It is precisely because of that purge that there will be a shortage of generals in the center of the Ying Tian Dynasty Hall.
Now he is persecuting these people, but just like a few days ago, when he scolded Liang Guogong and drove his righteous son and personal soldiers to Kaipingwei, he was also protecting them.
Now, everything is in your own hands.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the civil officials who were still watching the excitement, and said, "You are ...... waiting."
"Emperor Qi's grandson, the King of Qin was edicted to enter Beijing, and now he has entered the palace, and he will immediately go to the palace to meet him."
Just when Zhu Yunxi was about to deal with Cao Zhen's group of meritorious generals, a eunuch rushed over to report it.
The second uncle is back!
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but look over, and as he looked over, the civil and military officials present also turned around and looked sideways at the bottom of the steps in front of the hall.
I saw a man who was about the same age as the prince, but looked more robust, wearing only a white undershirt, in the surprised eyes of everyone.
The man had a rope tied behind his back and two thorns stuck in it.
This is the second son of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin in the vassal state of Xi'an.
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, who was dressed in white and carrying thorns, walked all the way to Zhu Yunxi, who was stunned.
Under Zhu Yunxi's gaze.
Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, hung his hands and feet, then raised his arms, closed his hands in front of his chest, and bowed down.
"Minister, Zhu Zhang, King of Qin, see the grandson of the Emperor of the Prison State."
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly got up and walked all the way to the second uncle who made this appearance on the first day of entering Beijing, stretched out his hands and held out the other party.
An ugly expression appeared on his face: "Second uncle must not, second uncle is an elder, Yun Xi is only a junior, but he should not receive such a big gift from the second uncle." ”
Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, had a solemn face, as if he was a vassal king who paid great attention to rules and etiquette: "The grandson of the emperor is the king, and the minister is a subordinate. ”
This is the second uncle who is doing nonsense?
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Rong, who was righteous, helped the other party up, and stared at the other party with a faint gaze.
The second uncle is performing for the hundreds of officials present, and it is also for the old man in the hall!
Seeing that Zhu Fan had already walked to the side, he was facing the hall with a solemn face.
Zhu Yunxi stepped aside, and watched the second uncle for a long time, what tricks could he come up with.
