Chapter 178: Yu Qian broke into the palace
Yufu.
Yu Qian has always been a very self-disciplined person, and he has the habit of getting up early and reading in the morning for decades.
He believes that the early morning moment is the time when people's brains are the most awake in the day, a cup of tea, an old book, this is his self-cultivation.
Early that morning, Yu Qian was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, holding a copy of "Hanshu" in his hand and reading it very carefully.
However, in the quiet morning, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the door, and Yu Qian frowned and opened the door of the mansion and went out to have a look.
Just this glance, I almost couldn't even hold the book.
"What's going on?"
In front of his house, a team of Dongchang soldiers was walking by, and what they were holding in their hands was Yu Qian's old friend - Wang Hong.
This Wang Hong and Yu Qian have a very close relationship, and it is said that he was once demoted from Beijing because of his disobedience to Wang Zhen, but in fact, the real reason why he was demoted was because of the ineffective water control in Shawo, Shandong.
But literati have to wrap a clean reputation outside, and Wang Hong is one of the most typical ones.
Obviously he was deposed because of his poor water control, but when it was spread, it turned out that he was disobedient to Wang Zhen in public in the court, and was deposed by Wang Zhen who bewitched the emperor.
Later, in the Tumubao Incident, the ministers in the court suffered heavy casualties, and Wang Zhen's henchmen were killed, and some people mentioned the reappointment of those ministers who were attacked by Wang Zhen.
Wang Hong is one of them.
It was precisely because he had disobeyed Wang Zhen that he was valued by Yu Qian, so he recommended him to be one of the chief civil officials of the Nine Gates, and was recalled to Beijing to serve as the imperial history of the Imperial Palace.
The defense of Beijing won a complete victory, and Wang Hong was promoted three levels in a row, and became the second-in-command of the household department today.
During the defense of Beijing, Wang Hong's performance was also remarkable, and he was one of the few ministers who dared to take the defenders out of the city to support Yu Qian.
It was also during that time that he and Yu Qian formed a deep friendship.
Now that Yu Qian saw that Wang Hong was taken to the prison by Dongchang on the street, he couldn't help it, and reprimanded the head of the Dongchang stall who was responsible for arresting people:
"You're too lawless! How dare you arrest the ministers of the court in the street!"
In the past, Yu Qian never cared about the affairs of Dongchang, because he also knew that the people arrested and killed by Dongchang were all written by the emperor, and it was useless to say it.
But now it's his best friend who has been arrested, and he has to mention it.
From a personal point of view, Yu Qian really didn't believe that Wang Hong, such an upright and upright Qingliu, could commit a big crime that was enough to be directly arrested by Dongchang.
If it is okay to act according to the order, this time he is good at arresting the ministers of the imperial court, that is, Wang Cheng, the governor of Dongchang, has exceeded his authority, and Yu Qian has to take action against Dongchang.
This is a major event that affects the law of the imperial court, and Yu Qian has to be the one who stops Dongchang, both public and private.
The head of the stall naturally didn't dare to provoke Yu Qian, and suddenly lost the arrogance in front of people, immediately bowed and saluted, and said helplessly:
"Yu Shaobao, it is His Majesty's order to arrest people."
"We respect Yu Shaobao, but Yu Shaobao doesn't make me sad, we are just acting on orders, if Shaobao has any doubts, please go to the Qianqing Palace to ask Your Majesty."
Yu Qian was stunned.
What?
The emperor's order?
He really can't believe that indiscriminately, he wants to arrest the minister of Qingliu?
The people who were arrested and killed in the past each had their own sins, Yu Qian didn't say anything, but now, he really couldn't figure it out.
Wang Hong, a person who is not afraid of the powerful and upright, is not comparable to Wei Zheng of this dynasty, why should he be arrested.
"Okay, I'll ask Your Majesty."
"Why the hell do you have to arrest people?"
Watching Yu Qian throw down the book and go straight to the Qianqing Palace, the onlookers and servants were dumbfounded.
Good guy, just went straight and angry?
......
Chengtianmen.
Guarding the Forbidden City has always been the responsibility of the pro-military guards directly under Zhu Di, and the pro-military guards are all in charge
The envoy is the old national abbot Wang Quan, so the people who are arranged in Chengtianmen are also members of the Wang family.
The style of the Wang clan is very low-key, although they are in the position of the Sun clan, they have not trespassed at all, and now almost a year has passed, and they have not even heard of a thing about the Wang clan oppressing the people.
These Wang juniors in important positions are also very honest and responsible.
After all, the lesson of the past is in front of us, how Sun didn't have it, we should take it as a warning.
The one who is guarding here now is the junior of the Wang clan who took over their position after defeating the Sun clan, Wang Ying's nephew Wang Jin.
"Commander, someone's coming."
"What?" Wang Jin turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a figure rushing here, so he immediately shouted, "Someone is coming, stop!"
"The forbidden land of the imperial city, people stop coming!"
He immediately drew his saber, ordered martial law, and stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming, trespassing on the forbidden land of the imperial city, is it not going to die?"
The forbidden soldiers and soldiers were also on standby, and on the tower of Chengtianmen, a group of archers appeared in an instant, stretched out their bows and arrows, and aimed at the person who rushed here.
However, to everyone's astonishment, it turned out to be Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department.
"Yu, Yu Shaobao... Why are you here...?"
Wang Jin felt like he was hitting the cotton ball with all his strength at this moment, and he was also stunned, and asked, "I haven't heard the news of His Majesty's summons!"
Yu Qian's face was full of anger, and he pushed him away, saying, "Your Majesty didn't summon me, I came by myself, don't stop me if you know each other."
"I have something to ask him!"
Seeing that this military secretary was so angry, Yu's forbidden soldiers were also stupid, and there were many discussions.
"Commander, can we stop it..."
"Yes, Shaobao is going to pass!"
Wang Jin pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "What are you doing to stop Shaobao, are you still worried that this will endanger Your Majesty?"
"What's more, even if there is a change, there are guards with knives everywhere in the palace."
As he spoke, Wang Jin looked at Yu Qian's back and muttered, "I think about it, it should be the recent incident of His Majesty's order to arrest Wang Hong, which caused Yu Shaobao to be angry."
Speaking of this, Wang Jin turned his head and found that his subordinates were all gathered around him at the moment, looking like a melon-eating crowd, and immediately shouted:
"It has nothing to do with us, what do you see? Scattered, scattered!"
The forbidden soldiers all laughed and dispersed.
Soon after.
Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion.
The little eunuch Wang Zhi stood in front of the door, his brows furrowed, and he looked at a figure in the clearing in the distance who was rushing here, and asked to the side:
"Who's that guy, coming here?"
On the side, Gong E also said curiously: "I really don't know, has Your Majesty summoned the minister?"
"Nope!" Wang Zhi looked confused, "And I don't look like he is dressed like a minister of the court, how did he live in Chengtianmen?"
A few people were pondering, and at this time, Cao Jixiang hurriedly came and said, "Quick, quickly inform Your Majesty that Yu Mintang is here, and he came directly to the palace to see the driver!"
"What?" Wang Zhiren was stupid.
In this world, there are still people who broke into the palace directly from Chengtianmen, and angrily went to the emperor Xingshi to ask for guilt.
It's a long insight, it's really a long insight!
