Chapter 108: Talents
Before Zhu Di's attack, in fact, many officials had imagined what today's court meeting would be like.
Maybe His Majesty took advantage of yesterday's events to issue a reprimand, maybe Zhu Di knelt down and begged the court not to be too ruthless, maybe Huang Zicheng and the three ridiculed King Yan in public... But no one expected that King Yan would actually question the Great Tomorrow in the Jinluan Palace.
Harm the kings? Maybe that's what Your Majesty came up with... But this is not something that Zhu Di can say, let alone something he can ask loudly without kneeling in the hall.
Seeing that the hundred officials did not react for a long time, Zhu Yunwen on the dragon chair turned pale and pale, Zhu Di sneered and straightened up: "All the kings are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, if Your Majesty wants to kill all the kings, then the minister, as one of the vassal kings, will be killed on this dragon pillar today in this Jinluan Palace, as long as His Majesty has a will!" ”
It stands to reason that someone should come up to persuade at this time, but all the officials are stupid, where do they dare to speak out, Zhu Yunwen, who was questioned, did not speak, holding the dragon chair handle, his body trembled slightly, Fang Xiaoru in the civil official queue said badly, and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan said this, but he is reprimanding the king?" ”
If this is answered, it will be an admission of the crime of great rebellion, and Zhu Di will naturally not be fooled by this: "Who are you?" ”
"Xiaguan Hanlin said that Fang Xiaoru, thanks to His Majesty's refusal to give up, he was able to enter Beijing to accompany the court, dare to ask His Highness, does Your Majesty have the will to ask the kings? Such a thing of chasing after the wind and shadows to create something out of nothing, but His Royal Highness inflicted this ridiculous words on His Majesty, is it not considered disrespectful? ”
Zhu Di was secretly frightened, this Fang Xiaoru is really not a good match, compared to Huang Zicheng, who is like a clown who jumps off the beam, it is much more difficult to deal with: "Make something out of nothing? This king wants to ask, what is the crime of King Zhou? Why was he demoted to a commoner? Why is the will of the court directed against the kings everywhere? The people all know that the imperial court wants to cut down the feudal domain, isn't this to drive out all the kings? ”
Fang Xiaoru smiled and said: "King Zhou's intention is to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, Your Majesty has the world in mind, and has never abolished the public for personal reasons, only demoting King Zhou to a concubine, isn't it a benevolent monarch?" ”
Zhu Di was stunned, and then became furious: "The evidence is conclusive?!" Where's the proof? Can there be jade dragon robes, can there be weapons and armor, can there be private soldiers? None of this, where is the evidence conclusive? ”
"The plot of rebellion is the second son of King Zhou..."
"With just one sentence, you can convict the vassal king of treason?" Zhu Di shouted angrily, "Can the king of this book say that you are filial piety and rebellion?" Say you, Huang Zicheng, rebelled? Can you let Your Majesty drag you and the others out to ask for beheading? ”
These words made Fang Xiaoru ruined, King Zhou's matter was already strange, there was no conclusive evidence, only the second son came forward to testify, and the impeachment of the imperial historian was convicted of rebellion, and now Zhu Di is not reluctant, and he reiterates the old matter in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, but it makes Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng a little embarrassed.
Another person walked out of the civil official queue, and it was Qi Tai, who was on the same front as Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru: "If you don't want to rebel, how can the second son of King Zhou come forward to denounce it?" ”
Zhu Di has been fighting for so many years, he can be regarded as an old rascal, he has always advocated not being reasonable if he can talk with a knife, but he never thought that he would press the Mongols with a hammer for so many years, and today he actually met someone who was more rogue than him in the Jinluan Palace...
He fell silent and retracted his anger: "Fuck you." ”
Qi Tai was stunned, and then he was furious, his face was as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, red and white, and he was really angry that one Buddha went out of the body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven: "You... You... Vulgar, vulgar! ”
He turned around and knelt down suddenly: "Your Majesty, King Yan accuses the king, insults the minister, and asks Your Majesty to punish him for the crime of great disrespect and go to prison to be served!" ”
Zhu Yunwen on the dragon chair didn't expect the war to burn on him, and the three gentlemen who swore in the imperial study yesterday to give Zhu Di a good-looking were so embarrassed that they could only stammer: "This... This..."
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Di lifted the robe of the court robe and knelt down proudly, "The minister is not disrespectful to His Majesty, but the minister is the chief of the kings, and I can't bear to see Your Majesty deceived by such traitors and persecute the kings!" The ministers know very well the grievances of the emperor's brothers, if Your Majesty still wants to cut the domain, please ask Your Majesty to condemn the ministers, and don't let the kings sleep and eat again! ”
He slammed down: "Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai!" Such traitors, for the sake of official fame, bewitch Your Majesty, causing the royal family to be jealous! Even if the minister doesn't want this throne, he will punish these three people! Your Majesty, don't be fooled by them and become the king of the cruel uncle! ”
Zhu Di kowtowed slowly, and there was a sound, and he saw that the face of the hundred officials was tight, good guy, I thought that it was the three of them who spoke for His Majesty and reprimanded King Yan fiercely, but I didn't expect that today's court meeting would become Zhu Di's one-man show, and even staged this kind of drama of inviting the ministers...
This questioning made Zhu Yunwen fidget, seeing that his three gentlemen also came out and knelt down, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only stand up, and his voice was difficult: "Fourth uncle... Why bother? Hurry up, the fourth uncle cares about state affairs and cares for his loved ones, how can I blame the fourth uncle for losing his honor in front of the palace? ”
Zhu Diquan didn't hear it, but the sound of kowtowing became louder and louder.
Zhu Yunwen's forehead was bruised, and he looked angrily at the eunuch who was stunned by the dust:
"Dog minion, don't you help the fourth uncle up?"
......
As soon as the court meeting dispersed, the grizzled Zhu Yunwen returned to the imperial study, and the first thing he did was to drop his favorite yellow mud inkstone.
Fragments were splashed everywhere, and the maids in the imperial study were so shocked that they knelt down and trembled, but Zhu Yunwen didn't even look at them, his mind was full of a few henchmen who were forced to be asked by Zhu Di just now, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked at the scene where he was forced to take a step back by Zhu Di, and felt more and more ashamed and angry, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Especially Zhu Di actually compared himself to the king of Xu, and wanted to exchange his throne for his own punishment of the three of Fang Xiaoru...
"How can this be justified, how can this be justified..."
Angry, Fang Xiaoru and other henchmen hurried to meet them, as soon as they saw Zhu Yunwen, they were all angry, the left sentence Yan Wang was arrogant and arrogant, and the right sentence Yan Wang wolf's ambition was used to play on the topic, and Zhu Yunwen became more and more annoyed when he heard it.
He waved his hand irritably: "Enough! Since I have already said that I will not investigate the failure of the palace in front of the palace, how can I ask the guilty now? Do you want to go back on your word? ”
Several people on the other side of the table looked at each other, and then their faces were ugly.
In front of the civil and military officials, he was accused of being a traitor, and the dignified vassal king actually ended up playing with his life like a military man... Who can withstand this?
In the end, Huang Zicheng was a little thick-skinned: "Your Majesty, King Yan's intentions are sinister, and his heart can be punished!" ”
Everyone's eyes turned over, and Huang Zicheng sorted out his words: "The reason why King Yan came to Jinling is because he noticed the plan of the imperial court!" What King Guanyan did, can he be a little cautious in his words and deeds? He must have felt that the imperial court did not dare to do anything to him at this time, and wanted to take the risk to force His Majesty to admit in public that he had no intention of cutting the feudal domain, and to win the sympathy of the government and the opposition and win the hearts of the rest of the feudal kings! Your Majesty, you must no longer let him do whatever he wants! ”
Zhu Yunwen nodded again and again when he heard this: "What Mr. said is extremely true!" So what should I do? ”
Seeing that Huang Zicheng had stolen all the limelight, and was about to trick His Majesty into attacking King Yan, Fang Xiaoru thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up and stood up: "Your Majesty, you must not move King Yan at this moment!" What if he had intended to use his own death to frame His Majesty for injustice, defilement, and other crimes? What's more, the imperial court did not have a good control over Beiping, and Yan Wei went south alone, and there must be arrangements for Beiping, and when the time came, his son rebelled, and all the feudal clans responded together..."
Zhu Yunwen, who had soft ears, felt that what Fang Xiaoru said was more reasonable: "Then Mr. Yi, how to deal with it?" ”
Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard and smiled, as if everything was under control: "After all, the overall situation is in the hands of Your Majesty, and the imperial court cut the domain, and at the beginning, it was to take the path of cutting off its wings, and now it has only cut one King of Zhou, which is far from enough!" According to the ministers, His Majesty can leave Yan Rebellion in Nanjing first, and during this period, he will use thunderous means, and then degrade a few vassal kings who are in cahoots with him, and even if Yan Rebellion is released back to Beiping, it will not become a climate, and it will never be criticized by officials and the people. ”
Before Zhu Yunwen could react, Huang Zicheng Qitai's eyes widened, and he only felt that bullshit didn't make sense: What, do you want to let him go back? The goal of cutting the domain has been sent to the door, why do you still play the game of letting the tiger return to the mountain?
Fang Xiaoru glanced at them: "Your Majesty, rest assured, when Yan Shun returns to Beiping, the first emperor will not be able to come to Jinling on the day of his death, Your Majesty can let Yan Shun send his three sons to the capital, called the Sacrifice Tomb, in fact, it is a quality, even if Yan Shun has a heart of disobedience, he can only watch the court slowly cut off the kings, and dare not resist in the slightest." ”
Huang Zicheng Qitai's eyes were about to breathe fire, he only felt that Fang Xiaoru was simply unreasonable, for the sake of fame, he actually wanted to do this kind of thing of taking off his pants and farting, and sent his son as a hostage... What if there is another one when the time comes?
However, before they could speak, they saw Zhu Yunwen pondering for a moment, and got up with joy: "Sir, this plan is very good!" ”
The two looked at each other, and at the same time felt that there was some blackness in front of them...
