Chapter 7: The Great Rites
As for who arranged the assassin, Zhu Youzhen could see through it at a glance.
He lives in the Qianqing Palace!
How many levels does an assassin need to pass to enter the Qianqing Palace?
Chengtian Gate, End Gate, Noon Gate, Qianqing Gate.
The fact that the Four Dao Palace Forbidden Places could not find an assassin could only mean one thing.
Either the Assassins were kept in the palace, or they were all in harmony.
The assassin is by no means raised by Wei Zhongxian, it is certain that Wei Zhongxian does not need to send an assassin if he wants to kill himself, he can just besiege and kill him, pointing at the hundreds of guards and Luo Yangxing's hundreds of brocade guards that he brought in are useless.
Anyway, as long as he dies in the palace, Zhu Chunchen and the Donglin Party outside the palace will put the basin on Wei Zhongxian's head, so it makes no sense for Wei Zhongxian to send only one assassin, and there is no way to clear the suspicion.
Then it's only a matter of combining the inside and the outside.
It was Luo Yangxing who was on duty in the palace tonight, and after the assassin appeared, Luo Yangxing was the first to arrive at the scene, so even if he guessed with his toes, Zhu Youzhen also guessed who instructed the assassin.
What a childish and low-level trick.
A martial artist, simple-minded, this kind of trick that is no better than the Savior's is probably the best way for Luo Yangxing's simple brain to think of the best way to express himself.
and self-written and self-directed heroes to save the beauty of a virtue.
Laugh perhaps, but definitely practical.
If Zhu Youzhen was really a seventeen-year-old boy, he would probably have been deceived by him.
Of course, the current Zhu Youzhen has also been 'deceived'.
Isn't this the promotion of Luo Yangxing.
"Let him go with Xu Xianchun dog-eat-dog."
Zhu Youzhen, who woke up from sleep, was too lazy to think about it anymore, so he dressed up and set off for Fengtian Palace.
Today, there is a big gift.
The topic is the ritual of the first emperor.
Ye Xianggao also entered the palace, dragging the sick body that was almost exhausted and carried into the palace.
At this juncture, Ye Xianggao, as the leader of the Donglin Party, does not show up, the Donglin Party members have no bottom in their hearts, and Zhu Youzhen's drama can't be sung.
Although Zhu Youzhen's edict on the throne has not yet been prepared and read, everyone seems to have forgotten about it, and regarded Zhu Youzhen as the new emperor, shouting long live, fulfilling the etiquette process between the monarch and the minister.
It's cumbersome and each has its own ghosts.
Zhu Youzhen put all his attention on Ye Xianggao, and for this reason, Zhu Youzhen even gave up the dragon chair and asked for a soft stool to sit next to Ye Xianggao.
"Mrs. Lao entered the palace and was worried about state affairs, I really couldn't bear it, but I Chong Ling practiced Zuo, and there was no master of the six gods in front of state affairs, and if it wasn't for Taifu here, I couldn't feel at ease."
Holding Ye Xianggao's hand tightly, Zhu Youzhen's affectionate words made the former burst into tears.
"Your Majesty is relieved and relieved, although the old minister is old, as long as His Majesty can use it, the old minister is willing to die for His Majesty and for Sheji."
The two monarchs and ministers almost wanted to hug their heads and cry, and such a scene of harmony between the monarchs and ministers also made hundreds of Beijing officials cry.
Wang Zuoyuan stood up again and moved out of the matter of the first emperor's great sacrifice.
Subsequently, there was the solidarity of the officials one after another.
The so-called Great Rites Discussion is actually a pledge meeting to launch an attack on the eunuch party.
Zhu Youzhen didn't pay attention to the hundred officials, just as he had been holding Ye Xianggao's hands tightly, and his eyes never left.
"What about Taifu's opinion?"
Ye Xianggao coughed a few times, and said tiredly and firmly: "Your Majesty, what the hundred officials said makes sense, the ceremonies of the first emperor cannot be handled by the celebrant supervisor, and the Ministry of Rites must enter the palace." ”
"I listen to the master." Zhu Youzhen said without hesitation: "Come here, immediately issue an edict, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Zuoyuan, will be the chief priest and handle the affairs of the first emperor." ”
The Donglin Party immediately rejoiced.
Xindi is really obedient.
At this time, Qian Qianyi stood up and asked his soul.
"Your Majesty, now that the celebrant is in control of the inner court, what if they stop Wang Shilang and the Ministry of Rites?"
Ye Xianggao also looked at Zhu Youzhen at this time.
The latter said with a firm face: "Whoever dares to stop it will be punished with great disrespect, and it will be killed!" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
All the officials sang the praises of the saints, bowed their heads and stood up, and they were all happy with each other.
At this moment, Cao Huachun, who was guarding outside the palace gate, walked in, stood by the threshold and said a word.
"Your Majesty, Wei and Wei Zhongxian ask to see you."
The Fengtian Palace, which was originally full of enthusiasm, suddenly fell silent, and seven points of fear and trembling appeared on countless faces.
Wei Zhongxian?
That's a disgusting name.
Qian Qianyi asked in surprise: "How many people have been brought by the treacherous rebellion?" ”
"Wei Zhongxian is alone."
Only then did the tension melt away.
What can one person be afraid of?
Zhu Youzhen then nodded: "Call him in." ”
"Yes."
Cao Huachun turned to leave, and soon brought in Wei Zhongxian, who was tired and full of white hair.
The face is like a withered face, where is there still yesterday's majestic spirit.
It's only been a short night, and Wei Zhongxian seems to be dozens of years older.
"Old slave, knock to see Your Majesty."
Zhu Youzhen looked down and muttered for a long time before he spoke: "What are you doing here?" ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Back to Your Majesty, after the first emperor's great trip, the celebrant and the celebrant were panicked, and even blocked the Ministry of Rites from entering the ceremony of the first emperor, the old slave is guilty, and the celebrant and the eunuch are all eunuchs, where can it be compared to the Ministry of Rites."
In addition, the old slave is old and frail, and he is no longer able to manage the celebrant eunuch, so he begs His Majesty to resign from the post of celebrant and go to supervise the mausoleum of the first emperor. ”
The Donglin Party members were all shocked, and they were even ecstatic.
Wei Zhongxian: Is this a towel?
The victory came too quickly and too encouragingly.
At this time, Yan Chuntai stood up in the middle of the matter and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach ......"
"Yan Chuntai!"
Ye Xianggao held up his sick body and drank: "Today is the first emperor's ceremony, don't talk about irrelevant things, the ritual for the first emperor is the top priority for us and other courtiers." ”
Zhu Youzhen glanced at Yan Chuntai, full of mockery.
This is seeing Wei Zhongxian admitting defeat, so he can't wait to take advantage of the victory to chase after him?
Don't look at yourself a few catties and taels, this is the palace, and the palace is still on Wei Zhongxian's territory.
I don't know what to live or die!
Retracting his gaze, Zhu Youzhen looked at Ye Xianggao, wanting to ask for the latter's opinion.
The old fox closed his eyes directly, and looked as if he was half dead.
can only be said by Zhu Youzhen.
"I have just ascended to the great treasure, many things still need the ministers Sasuke, the inner court is complicated, and the Duke of Wei has been in the master of ceremonies for a long time, and I hope to take care of it for me for a while."
"The celebrant is more suitable than the old slave."
Wei Zhongxian didn't take Zhu Youzhen's words seriously, and said directly: "The old slave can't do it, let the old slave go to guard the tomb for the first emperor." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhu Youzhen to open his mouth again and pretend to stay, he turned around and left directly.
When Wei Zhongxian walked away, Yan Chuntai from before jumped out again.
"Eunuch bold, Your Majesty, this Wei Zhongxian is too disrespectful."
No one paid attention to him, because not long after Yan Chuntai's words fell, Tian Ergeng, the left governor of Jinyi Wei, walked in.
"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei found out last night that Yan Chuntai collaborated with the enemy and treason in the matter of the household department, and secretly communicated with Jiannu, and the minister asked for the order."
Wei Zhongxian was like this before, he never had an overnight feud, let alone now.
Yan Chuntai's liver and gallbladder were broken, and he opened his mouth to plead with Zhu Youzhen and Ye Xianggao.
But no one will save him.
Wei Zhongxian is indeed about to fall, but he is not dead.
didn't die, it didn't get to the point where the big guy celebrated with the crown.
Several brocade guards locked down Yan Chuntai and pulled him out of the Fengtian Palace.
From beginning to end, no one in the Donglin Party dared to open their mouths to plead.
Zhu Youzhen naturally looked at it coldly.
After a moment, he flicked his sleeves and left.
"That's it for today, let's enter the palace of the Ministry of Rites."
