"Everyone in front of you! Drive! ”

Early morning of the 26th day of the lunar month......

It was supposed to be a peaceful day, but when the gates of the capital were opened, and when the people were flocking to the city gates, the sound of iron hooves sounded in the wind and snow, as well as conspicuous red robes and shouts.

Outside the city walls and on both sides of the town streets, the people scattered in all directions, and the figures in the wind and snow also showed their original faces.

Hundreds of brocade-clothed guards came on horseback, and the one they guarded was Zhu Youzhen, who was pale and anxious.

The brocade-clothed guards drove away the people, set aside a road, swept through the city walls, and rushed into the Forbidden City.

Zhu Youzhen, who paid attention to the people in the past, did not stop it, but shook the reins of the horse vigorously.

"How did my brother fall overboard?!"

Seeing that the palace was getting closer and closer, Zhu Youzhen questioned Lu Wenzhao next to him in a cold voice, and Lu Wenzhao's face was not good-looking, and he said with some embarrassment:

"There is only a rumor in the palace that Banzai fell into the ice cave while fishing, and it is rumored that His Highness will enter the palace to meet him soon, and he did not say anything else."

"What does Wei Zhongxian eat?!" Zhu Youzhen's expression was a little hideous, so that Lu Wenzhao didn't dare to look directly.

After Zhu Youzhen scolded, he also understood that this matter had nothing to do with Lu Wenzhao, so he could only suppress his anger and continue to ride the horse.

In the end, more than 100 Ti rode to a stop at the Xuanwu Gate north of the palace, and the guards stationed here were the Yiluan guards of the three guards of the imperial city.

After the hundred households of Yiluan Wei saw Zhu Youzhen, they immediately stood up with everyone and straightened their backs to show respect, and Zhu Youzhen broke into the palace regardless of the fact that the others were still dismounting.

Riding a horse in the palace, this is something that only an emperor can do, before Zhu Youzhen rode a horse, it was to accompany his own imperial brother, and now he has not received any permission.

After this happened, he would inevitably be impeached by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites, but he couldn't control so much.

"Overboard......

This word was particularly terrifying for Zhu Youzhen, and he couldn't believe it.

He had obviously taught his brother to swim, and even took a few laps himself, but why did he fall into the water? And so many years ahead?

"Isn't it the destiny of heaven to be violated?"

Zhu Youzhen's heart was cold at the moment, and he couldn't control the etiquette, so he went directly to the left door and asked the Yiluan guards on duty to open the door, and then rode his horse over the door railing, and ran directly into the square of the Jianji Palace, and rode his horse to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

He turned over and dismounted, and the eunuch of the Jingjun at the palace gate didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who was usually steady, would ride a horse directly in the palace regardless of it, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

They didn't dare to stop Zhu Youzhen, so they could only salute and chant King Qi's Chitose.

It was Zhu Youzhen, who turned over and dismounted and trotted all the way directly, running towards the Qianqing Palace.

However, after running closer, he saw that the doors and windows of the Qianqing Palace were closed, and Liu Ruoyu and Wang Tiqian were standing outside the door with a group of eunuchs.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen coming, Wang Tiqian and Liu Ruoyu immediately greeted them and acted honestly.

However, after making a move, Wang Tiqian spoke:

"Your Highness, long live the decree, everyone is gone, and an order has been issued to the cabinet, ordering Your Highness to temporarily oversee the country."

"......" Wang Tiqian's words came out, but Zhu Youzhen frowned.

He didn't believe that his royal brother would not see him, and he knew in an instant that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Qianqing Palace, where the doors and windows were closed, and turned his head to look at Wang Tiqiandao:

"Since the imperial brother is seriously ill, what about the imperial sister-in-law?"

"Uh...... This...... The queen mother also felt a little cold, and rested in Kunning Palace...... "Wang Tiqian's words paused for a moment, and in an instant Zhu Youzhen understood everything.

"Go away!"

He pushed away Wang Tiqian and Liu Ruoyu and strode towards the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Highness, you can't go in, long live the order......" Wang Tiqian hurriedly followed, but he didn't dare to pull Zhu Youzhen.

"I've got something to do!" Zhu Youzhen replied, then pushed away the two eunuchs in front of the door and kicked them directly.

"Bang!"

The door of the hall was indeed not locked, and was kicked open by Zhu Youzhen, revealing the empty main hall in it.

"It's over......"

Wang Tiqian knew that even the gods and Buddhas in the sky couldn't save themselves.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen stepped into the Qianqing Palace and immediately walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

He strode over, and then he heard a cough.

"Ahem......"

The sudden coughing sound made him suspicious, and his steps couldn't help but stop.

"Brother, I'm a little tired today, you can step back first, and supervise the country for me for a few days, and it's not too late to talk about the past."

A familiar voice appeared, and it was a little hoarse, which made Zhu Youzhen's heart cold, but soon he noticed that something was wrong.

With his brother's character, not to mention falling into the water and getting sick, even if he is seriously ill and dying, I am afraid he will not let himself leave.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian once again rose up in his body, walked into the Heart Nourishing Palace, and went straight to the Yellow Tent bed.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

The voice sounded again, but there was a hint of trepidation.

When this frightened smell was heard by Zhu Youzhen, he immediately opened the yellow tent......

"Your Highness, slaves and maids should be damned......"

"Get down!"

Looking at the eunuch who was kneeling on the bed, extremely frightened, Zhu Youzhen's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

He shouted, and the eunuch rolled down, and Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and shouted: "Wang Tiqian!" ”

"The slave is here! The slave is here! ”

Wang Tiqian trotted in all the way and knelt directly on the ground, waiting to be scolded.

But he didn't want to, Zhu Youzhen turned around and said to Wang Tiqian: "Where did my brother go?" ”

"Long live went to Tianjin to observe the dock and got off the ship, because I was impeached by hundreds of officials last time I went out of the palace, so this time I asked His Royal Highness to come down to the palace to supervise the country and plug the mouths of those civil servants...... Wang Tiqian responded in fear, and Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth.

"Good one" please "ah......"

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that he would have such a day.

"It's really a goose all day long, and I was pecked in the eye by a goose!"

He almost squeezed out this sentence, while Wang Tiqian lowered his head weakly and knelt honestly.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at him, although he was a little angry, but when he thought that his brother had not fallen into the water, most of his temper in his heart was gone, and only the depression after the prank remained.

"Get up, let's talk about who my brother is following."

Zhu Youzhen walked to the dragon chair, grabbed a chair and put it next to the dragon chair, and then sat on it.

Although it is said that the power of the prison state is to be supervised, it is not allowed to sit on the dragon chair.

Although even if this dragon chair and Zhu Youzhen sat down, it is estimated that Zhu Youxiao is smiling, but he is still quite obedient.

As for Wang Tiqian, seeing that Zhu Youzhen was not angry, he quickly got up and responded to him:

"Long live brought Li Ruolian, Cui Yingyuan, and Wei Zhangyin to go, as well as a thousand dragon and tiger guards."

"Okay......" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen leaned back in his chair, waved his hand and said:

"Bring it all with you."

"Yes......" Seeing this, Wang Tiqian retreated, while Zhu Youzhen leaned back in his chair and doubted his life.

After a quarter of an hour, footsteps sounded, and he glanced up slightly, but sat up straight.

I saw that the person who came was his sister-in-law who was not very familiar, and behind his sister-in-law Zhang Yan, there was a palace maid with dishes.

"Your Highness, why are you here......" Zhu Youzhen stood up, and Zhang Yan also bowed slightly, and after saluting him, he said:

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

"Long live specially explained to me before leaving the palace, and asked me to take care of Brother Qi."

"In addition, Banzai has confessed that the internal money allocated 60,000 taels of silver as Tianli for the twelfth year old of King Qi's brother a few days ago."

After that, Zhang Yan turned around and picked up the wooden plate, took a few steps forward, put the wooden plate on the dragon eucalyptus, and said softly:

"This is my specially boiled bird's nest, Brother Qi can taste it."

"Your Highness." Zhu Youzhen was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Yan returned the salute after putting down the wooden plate and continued:

"Brother Qi is slow, there are still some things in the inner court, so I will retreat first."

"Your Highness, go slowly." Zhu Youzhen returned the salute, but Zhang Yan just turned around, hesitated, and then turned to Zhu Youzhen and said:

"Although Brother Qi is still young, if Banzai is not there, it is better for the prison country to go to the East Palace......"

The words are cold, but the words have a temperature, and the addition of expressions can alleviate most of the contradictions.

At the moment, Zhang Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she was not disgusted and disgusted, but worried and worried.

Obviously, she also knows that the impeachment of her uncle by the outer court is somewhat frequent, and if her family is not here at the moment, then there will inevitably be some rumors.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Youzhen is not small, he just passed his twelfth birthday a few days ago, and he is already half a child.

Therefore, when Zhang Yan said this, Zhu Youzhen became vigilant and hurriedly said:

"What His Highness said is very true, this time the main thing is that I don't know that the imperial brother is leaving, and I will pay attention to it."

"Brother Qi Wang drink it while it's hot, and I won't bother anymore." Seeing that the persuasion had an effect, Zhang Yan also bowed slightly and returned the salute, and then led people to retreat.

As for Zhu Youzhen, he glanced at the Qianqing Palace, then walked out with his hands behind his back and his head without looking back.

Seeing this, Liu Ruoyu at the door hurriedly said, "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”

"I'm not comfortable here, go back to my palace." Zhu Youzhen pouted, and said that he was going to go to the Qingong Palace.

Seeing this, Liu Ruoyu sent someone to inform Wang Tiqian and send him to the Qingong Palace, and at the same time asked someone to drive the chariot.

Zhu Youzhen walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and then got into the chariot, but he took pity on Lu Wenzhao, so he ran over to the Qianqing Palace, and he had to take people back to the Qianqin Palace.

It's just that when the chariot just walked out of the back left door and made a detour to the Jinshui Bridge in front of the East Palace, there were already many officials in the Wenhua Hall in the distance looking at this side.

"How can this be true? How can there be such a reason?! ”

The roar of filial piety sounded in the Wenhua Palace, and Gao Panlong, who had been demoted to the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, said loudly:

"Even if Banzai suffers from the cold, but this kind of thing in prison always needs to be discussed with the cabinet, right?"

"Now that even the cabinet has crossed over and issued a direct order, what is the role of the cabinet?"

In the side hall, Gao Panlong roared filial piety, and more than 40 ministers in the palace, including the cabinet, the six ministries, and the six departments, frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the emperor's move.

They still don't know that Zhu Youxiao ran away to Tianjin to see the excitement, if they knew, they might immediately go to Tianjin to call Zhu Youxiao back.

But right now, what they are even more worried about is the matter of Zhu You's inspection of the country.

The prince, the soldiers, the money, and now the right to supervise the state.

In this way, the politics and finances of the Ming Dynasty and the military were all captured by Zhu Youzhen, and with such power, among the past fifteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there were only seven people, including Zhu Youxiao.

It can be said that the current Zhu Youzhen is one title away from the identity of the emperor.

Therefore, the officials of all parties were solemn, even Yang Lian, who had a good relationship with Zhu Youzhen, was silent and did not speak.

They were all thinking, what did the emperor mean by letting Zhu Youzhen be the prisoner? Could it be that the emperor fell into the water too seriously, and he had to ......

"Impossible!" Everyone expelled the unlucky thought, and only thought that the emperor was really sick and wanted to rest for two days.

"Wen Ru ......"

Suddenly, someone spoke, and everyone heard the voice, but saw Ye Xianggao's expression a little ......

"Kindness?"

For a while, everyone felt a little ridiculous, why did King Qi take the position of the prison country, and this Ye Xianggao still sat so firmly in Diaoyutai? Could it be that this old guy has also become a member of the Qi King Party?

"Xiaguan is ......" Yang Lian reacted and responded, while Ye Xianggao said to everyone:

"Since Long Live Dragon is in poor health and has chosen His Royal Highness King Qi to supervise the country, then it is still necessary to let His Royal Highness King Qi come out as a prisoner."

Speaking of this, Ye Xianggao continued to explain to Yang Lian:

"Wenru, please take a trip, and invite King Qi to come to Wenhua Palace to supervise the country."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the eyes of the ministers lit up.

Let the King of Qi come to the Wenhua Palace to supervise the country, it will be very interesting.

It seems that it was because he was annoyed by Wenchen, so Zhu Youxiao resumed the tradition of the three-day dynasty after the ministers impeached Zhu Youzhen for private salt last time.

And many times, he would drop out of the court for one day, and as a result, he would delay it for three days, and sometimes even not go to court for ten days.

Although compared to Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, and Taichang, this is already "diligent".

But I can't stand it, Zhu Youxiao is different from the previous four emperors!

The four people in front, even if they are Jiajing, who is the most powerful in playing, the imperial power is at most walking in the area of Shuntian Mansion, and when they leave Shuntian Mansion, they still have to look at the hundred officials.

The only thing is that Jiajing has mastered the Jinyi Guard and knows the tricks and handles between everyone.

In addition to Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli Taichang actually ruled the world with civil officials, but not civil officials.

However, now, the two brothers, Zhu Youxiao, let alone the civil officials, have ascended the throne until now, and in less than 16 months, there are thousands of officials and officials who have been killed.

I didn't see that half of the nine sides were killed by these two brothers, and the five-party alliance was almost as good as Donglin, Sun Ruyou and Ye Xianggao went back to their hometown and squatted to die.

The situation in Liaozhen is the same, the situation outside the customs is even better, and the situation in the southwest is still under control.

Judging from the appearance, the weather of the Apocalypse Dynasty is almost comparable to the time of Wanli Fresh Wind.

But the difference is that last time it was Zhang Juzheng who brought the Ming Dynasty to life, and this time it was the emperor and the prince.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is different from the previous emperors, and his central decree is north of the Huai River, east of the Yellow River, and in the southwest region, it can be said that no one dares not to accept it.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the nest of the Zhejiang Party and Qi Yuanbi, and no one dares to offend him.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was very chicken thief, and before the daily court meeting, he dealt with all the notes and issued them, and then announced that he would drop out of the dynasty one day.

This led to some negotiable things, which were directly condemned to death by Zhu Youxiao, and the civil officials had to wait until three days later if they wanted to see him again.

But the Ming Dynasty is such a big dynasty, and all kinds of new things will be born in three days, and then Wenchen will have no time to talk about the previous things, so he can only honestly admit it.

Therefore, it can be said that it is too difficult to deal with Zhu Youxiao, and if Ye Xianggao can invite Zhu Youzhen to Wenhua Hall to preside over the overall situation, then it will give everyone a chance.

Once Zhu Youzhen dealt with the dismissal, then the hundred officials who found that there was room for manipulation would reject it, and then argue with Zhu Youzhen.

For a while, everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Xianggao a lot, but only Liu Yixiao, Zhu Guozuo and others sighed in their hearts.

Ye Xianggao's move seems to be looking for opportunities for hundreds of officials on the surface, but the problem is that Zhu Youzhen is not stupid.

He can handle government affairs in the Qingong Palace, why should he come to the Wenhua Palace?

Therefore, the two of them had no hope at all, and Yang Lian could only respond when he heard Ye Xianggao's words, and then withdrew from the Wenhua Hall and walked towards the East Palace.

When he came to the gate of the East Palace, a team of brocade guards stopped him.

"I was ordered by Elder Ye Ge to ask to see the prison country."

"Yang Du, please wait a moment in the matter, I'll go and ask His Highness for instructions." Jinyi Wei Zongqi returned the salute when he heard this, and then after Yang Lian nodded, he turned around and went to report.

The process of this notification is not slow, after a cup of tea, the general banner of Jinyi Wei walked out of the palace gate of the East Palace, and said:

"Your Highness said that Yang Du can go in during the matter, but please think about the original intention."

The words "original intention ......" made Yang Lian's expression a little strange, and people were stunned.

He didn't know how he walked into the East Palace, he was just reminiscing about these two words.

"Yang Du asked for ...... here in the matter"

When the eunuch's voice sounded, Yang Lian came back to his senses, bowed back, and followed the other party into the palace.

This time he entered the Qingong Palace, and Yang Lian saw Zhu Youzhen sitting in the study, holding a bowl of bird's nest.

It has been several months since Yang Lian last met Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen, who has entered the age of twelve, looks a little more mature than before, and his skin is much darker.

"Give Yang Du a seat in the middle of the matter."

Zhu Youjian said without raising his head, and Lu Wenzhao hurriedly asked people to bring a chair, Yang Lian thanked him when he saw this, and then sat down and said:

"Your Highness is in charge of the country, and Elder Ye Ge asked me to invite Your Highness to go to Wenhua Hall to handle government affairs."

"No need, it's pretty good here, just send it over if you can't handle it." Zhu Youzhen rejected Ye Xianggao's proposal.

He knew that Ye Xianggao was just going through the motions, and this truth was not only known to him, but also to Yang Lian.

Therefore, Yang Lian did not urge Zhu Youzhen, but said to Zhu Youzhen:

"Your Highness thinks we can't succeed?"

His words were obviously asking about the system of the Donglin Party and the changes that their group of people wanted.

The reason why he asked Zhu Youzhen was that he saw Zhu Youzhen's step by step change to the Ming Dynasty.

In October last year, when Zhu Youzhen told him that only Zhu Youzhen himself could change the Ming Dynasty, Yang Lian just sneered.

But in the past year, how many major things has Zhu Youzhen done one after another, but what about the Donglin Party?

Finally, Wang Yingjiao came up with a new policy to reduce the burden on the peasants and increase taxes for the Ming Dynasty, but before it could be implemented, he was stillborn.

Coupled with the disunity within the Donglin Party, all kinds of things made Yang Lian exhausted.

He wanted to know why the new deal, which he had fought for for most of his life, could not be implemented, and why the officials who kept saying that they wanted to let the Ming Dynasty prosper bow their heads in front of power and silver.

He had too many doubts in his heart, and he wanted to know why Zhu Youzhen was able to judge so many changes in the current situation and use the current situation to expand the imperial power, while Donglin was repeatedly frustrated.

"I've said it a long time ago......"

Zhu Youzhen let out a breath, looked at Yang Lian with a flat gaze, and said slowly with his eyes facing each other:

"In the Donglin, there is dirt and dirt, compared to the five parties, what can you do by relying on this group of people?"

"I don't deny that the new deal is a feat for the benefit of the people for the Ming Dynasty, but why can't the new deal be implemented?"

"Every time a new deal is implemented, you wait for the internal chaos first, and you are reluctant to put a pen of "moistening" silver. ”

"Such a group of people, if they can successfully change the law, they can really laugh off their big teeth!"

Zhu Youzhen stabbed Yang Lian in the heart with a knife, making his figure a lot worse again.

The reason why Zhu Youzhen will be so ruthless is that he really doesn't want Yang Lian to stay in the Donglin Party anymore, wasting time and wasting time.

Among the hundreds of members of the Donglin Party, there are not many people who can do practical things, but although there are not many, their ability is very good.

This is also the reason why the Donglin Party is seriously divided internally, but it can still suppress the five parties of Qichu, Zhejiang, Xuankun.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, kicking out that group of mixed guys, leaving only dozens of capable ministers, maybe the Donglin Party can still implement changes for a period of time.

If it was Zhu Youzhen himself, he would have killed the group of people who were dragging his feet.

However, Liu Yixian, Zhao Nanxing, Yang Lian and others are reluctant to hold back this group of people at all, just because a so-called concept is the same, which is really ridiculous.

The biggest drawback of the Donglin Party is that the party fights against differences, and after the disagreement, some talented people are elected to power.

Having virtue but not talent is a good thing in the township and neighbors, but it is a wrong thing in national affairs.

Reactive power is excessive!

How many heroes have been there throughout the ages, regardless of character? Do you treat the heroes well? None of them can escape one characteristic, that is, when they are decided, they will be decided.

Ying Zheng can snub the old Qin people in order to unify the world, and Liu Che can snub his relatives, but he also wants to take back power and cripple the Huns.

Li Shimin can kill his brother and force his father in order to survive, and Zhu Yuanzhang can wield a butcher's knife against the founding hero.

All these things, these stumbling blocks that stand in their way, when it is time to be overturned, must be overturned.

The fate of the woman's kindness will only be in a different place!

Even now, there is a general under Zhu Youzhen who wants to hinder him from implementing the new policy, and he will also reluctantly imprison, exile, and execute the other party......

What he wants to do is not to let Shenzhou fall.

What the fate of Shenzhou's fall will be, he knows better than anyone else.

The foreign Yi jumped off the beam and the Japanese were contemptuous, which made the Chinese culture decadent and numb the spirit of the world.

That kind of "hell", he is unwilling to let the Chinese people experience it again.

If it is just for personal fame and fortune, as far as the current Ming is concerned, he can completely use the means of the feudal dynasty to suppress the hungry people in the subsequent drought.

But if he did take that step, how would he be different from the feudal officials who slaughtered civilians and exploited the common people in order to maintain their rule?

He clearly knows what he wants, and he wants to protect himself and his royal brother so that the people of the world can live a good life.

He is different from Yang Lian and others, for this goal, he can give everything except for his own life and that of his imperial brother.

Even if the price is chaos in the world, as long as the rebellion is quelled and the people are restrained, the temporary pain of the people will become a work for all eternity.
