"My old Zhu family, how could they give birth to such stupid offspring?"

Wang Cheng, the governor of Dongchang, stood tremblingly in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the thunderous and angry emperor, and said that something was wrong, and said:

"Master, the slave thinks about this..."

"What do you think?" Zhu Di turned his head to look at him, then paced back and forth in the warm pavilion, and said, "I gave them a chance to mother and son, but they didn't grasp it. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly said, "Chen Mao." ”

"The minister is here." The latter was full of excitement and said busily.

Zhu Di said: "Go to Zhang Hui and Wang Quan, take care of the capital and the imperial city, mobilize soldiers and horses, I want to see how they plan to restore King Yi to the throne and how to invite me to return to power." ”

Chen Mao nodded, and then walked out.

Zhu Di sat down at this time, calmed his mind, as if he had just remembered, and asked in hindsight: "What did you want to say just now?" ”

Wang Cheng said at this time: "If Your Majesty does it now, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Your Majesty." ”

"Disadvantage?" Zhu Di sneered: "I'm not going to cut him, I'm trying to make him have a long memory, and he won't be guilty, but he's guilty!" ”

"If you don't have that ability, don't be angry in front of people! I don't understand this truth, and he has been an emperor for fourteen years in vain! ”

Wang Cheng knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so he didn't say more, and said, "The slave maid has ordered the factory to step up the rumor that the Sun family robbed the palace woman as his own son, which will definitely help Your Majesty." ”

"The Sun family robbed the palace woman as his own son..."Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, glared at him angrily and said: "I said, why did these rumors start recently, but you did it?" ”

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and saw that the emperor was about to be angry, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master, the slave and maid are also kind, this rumor can strengthen Your Majesty's orthodoxy and damage her Sun's mother and son..."

Zhu Di's face was full of anger.

In this way, it can strengthen the righteousness of himself, the great-grandson of Emperor Jingtai, and it is indeed a good way to just talk about rumors, but isn't it an insult to Xuanmiao?

My good saint grandson is green and you don't know it?

Zhu Di calmed down, waved his hand and said: "That's it, you are also kind to this matter, since it has been preached, you can do it yourself." ”

"It's just that if there is such a matter in the future, don't do it yourself, let me decide."

"Got it?"

In the last two words, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly changed.

Wang Cheng was frightened, and he also felt that he had indeed trespassed on such a major matter, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave will definitely ask Your Majesty in advance in the future." ”

"Well, you go down, keep an eye on Sun's mother and son, and report back to me as soon as there is any movement." Zhu Di waved his hand and motioned for him to go down.

There are so many things to go about these days, and you need to digest them all one by one.

......

Although on that night, Chen Mao had already started to arrest the three people who went to visit the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shi Zhongtong, the left Shaoqing Liao Tong of Dali Temple, and Lin Cong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works.

But after all, there is no big truth, and the official positions of these three are not low, even if they are arrested, it is not good to kill people directly before the emperor gives the order.

had to detain the three of them to the Dongchang prison first, and wait for the emperor's edict to deal with them later.

However, this incident detonated the discussion between the government and the opposition.

Sensing the crisis and opportunity, the former retainers of the Sun clan jumped out one after another, intending to make a final joint struggle.

Their public opinion offensive was very fast, and the day after Chen Mao took over, there were a lot of rumors that the Queen Mother was not crazy and was under house arrest by the emperor.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion among the people, and they all said that the emperor was greedy for power, so he was placed under house arrest as the queen mother.

The ministers are also very clear that at this time, it is obviously unreliable to use Zhu Qizhen as a mouthful, because the reputation of this Baozong in the hearts of the people has exploded.

Now, using the word Queen Mother is the most righteous.

Wang fu.

It's the king whose surname is king.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Zhi, sat straight in the main hall, and the fragrant tea was placed on the table but he had no intention of drinking it, he frowned and scolded bitterly.

"These gang of killers are trying to harm my late life!"

"I don't see anyone today!"

The housekeeper also knew the seriousness of the matter, and soon spread the news of Wang Zhituo's illness out of the mansion, but the group of former ministers of the Sun family gathered outside the mansion were obviously unwilling to stop there.

An official at the head stuffed a gold ingot for the housekeeper and said with a smile: "This matter is related to the safety of the imperial court, and I hope the housekeeper will do it conveniently." ”

"Even if Katsuke doesn't see us, at least send this letter in."

Naturally, the butler couldn't refuse a glittering gold ingot, and after a moment of ideological struggle, he carefully accepted the gold ingot and stuffed the envelope into his sleeve.

Looking at the letter handed over by the housekeeper, Wang Zhi was stunned and sighed: "Old Zhong, you are also trying to harm me, can you accept their letter at this time?" ”

Steward Zhong didn't say a word about accepting bribes, but knelt on the ground with a look of embarrassment, and said, "Master, then I will return this letter immediately." ”

"I... I thought you adults had something to do... That's it..."

Wang Zhi sighed again and said: "I have received everything, I am afraid that the news has already spread to Dongchang at this moment, what is the use of sending it back now?" ”

"That's it!"

"Bring it, I'll take a look!"

Wang Zhi took the letter in his hand, took a deep breath, and then opened it, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and his eyes widened and said: "They, why are they still so obsessed!" ”

"When is it now, I still have to welcome the King of Yi to the throne, and I have to take the Queen Mother back to power!"

"Isn't this a delivery to the tiger's mouth? Stop them! ”

The housekeeper got the order and hurriedly left the house, but after a while, he ran back and said in shock: "Oh no, master, you have already arrived at Chengtianmen and beat the drum!" ”

Wang Zhi stood up, and his first reaction was to quickly burn the letter with trembling hands, pacing again and again.

"It's over, it's over."

"It's all over, you fools!"

......

Hearing the sound of drums, even Zhu Di had to walk out of Chengtianmen, and only then did he see the old ministers of the Sun family kneeling together.

It's still the same old thing, gathering crowds to force the palace.

Zhu Di knew it, but he still looked very surprised, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, why is this?" If there are any grievances, I should be the master for all Aiqing! ”

An official at the head said: "Your Majesty, the ministers ask to meet the Queen Mother!" ”

"Now there are many rumors in the DPRK and China, all saying that the Queen Mother is not crazy, but is under house arrest by His Majesty. The ministers don't believe it, and they are willing to vouch for Your Majesty, but they must first face the Queen Mother..."

This is a high-sounding sound.

Do I still need to be sure, do I still need you to vouch?

Zhu Di looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile: "Isn't this Zuo Aiqing, the supervising imperial history of Nanjing, why don't you do your supervisory imperial history in Nanjing, what are you doing in the capital?" ”

Zuo Ding was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The minister heard that the rumors in the capital were spreading, and he couldn't rest assured, so he came to ask to see the queen mother to prove the truth of the rumors!" ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Zuo Aiqing is really loyal to the country!" Is the evidence of corruption and bribery in your hand true or false? ”

Zuo Ding received it in his hand, and after taking a closer look, he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, these are all fake, and the minister praised the people during his tenure in Nanjing, which is obvious to all." ”

"The words of the people are just rumors, this is also Zuo Aiqing's words, why don't you count them now?" Zhu Di stood up, looked at him and said:

"Is your word only useful to me?"
