Chapter 77: Earn Hemp
Zhu Gaoxian said righteously: "Erchen has investigated clearly, Dong Zizhuang, the governor of Zhao Wangfu, colluded with the White Lotus Sect, and this person was bold enough to assassinate the emperor with the White Lotus Sect. The third brother didn't know about this, and he was completely implicated and framed by this person! ”
"You say this rebel was framed?" Zhu Di frowned slightly, "Is there any evidence?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "Father, please see, this is the letter and assassination plan of Dong Zizhuang and the White Lotus Sect!" ”
King Zhao blinked, hey, what the fourth brother said is the same as the truth.
If it weren't for me, I would have believed what you said!
Zhu Di took the secret letter and opened it, but found that the ink on the paper was still slightly wet, which was obviously forged temporarily, rubbing the black of his hand.
The fourth child is really a talent! You are so professional in falsifying evidence!
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, but he still pretended not to find these loopholes, and said with his head bowed: "I give you the Tiger Talisman, take over the guards of Shuntian Mansion, seal the city and impose martial law, and behead Dong Zizhuang, a chaotic minister and thief, to show the public, search for cult believers in the whole city, and immediately execute them to the public after being arrested, in order to show the prestige of the monarch!" ”
Zhu Gaoxian thanked him: "The son of the minister has the order!" ”
Then, Zhu Di looked at King Zhao again, with a slight murderous intent in his eyes, which made King Zhao tremble.
But in the end, the old man still endured it and said angrily: "Rebel, I let you be in charge of Shuntian government affairs, but you have made a miasma, and you can't even see this kind of rebel under your hands, what a waste!" Although the fourth brother found out the truth of the matter, but your royal majesty is not strict, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. ”
King Zhao was about to be amnestied, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him: "The son knows his mistake and is willing to accept any punishment." ”
"Get out!" Zhu Di shouted angrily.
King Zhao crawled out of the martial arts building and cast a grateful look at Zhu Gaoxian.
……
Zhu Di looked at the secret letter for King Zhao in his hand, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Fraud, at least it must be done at a certain level." ”
Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile: "Time is in a hurry, father, you will just take a moment, whether he is true or not, whether he can use it or not." ”
Zhu Di said with a subtle look in his eyes: "Do you know that this is the crime of bullying the king?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian was not nervous, and said calmly: "Erchen has never deceived the king, but just gave an explanation to the people of the world." ”
King Zhao assassinated the king and killed him, the old man was clear in his heart, and Zhu Gaoxian was clear in his heart.
But as long as King Zhao didn't admit it, this matter could only be settled.
If this matter is made public, it will be a loss of face for the Zhu family. The assassination of the emperor by the prince is such an unfilial act, which will make people all over the world question the royal family, after all...... The son doesn't teach, the father's fault, your Zhu Di's son wants to kill you, which shows how incompetent you are as an emperor.
So at this time, the emperor needs someone to stand up and clear King Zhao's name, and the most suitable person is Zhu Gaoxian.
Because Zhu Gaoxian is not only the only prince who followed Zhu Di to Shuntian Mansion except for King Zhao, but also controls the behemoth of Beizhen Fusi.
Therefore, even if Zhu Di knew that the secret letter submitted by Zhu Gaoxian to whitewash King Zhao was fake, he could only regard it as genuine. Because, this was what Zhu Di instructed to do.
And Shi Dong Zizhuang, the head of the Zhao Palace, who was pushed out to bear the charge of "assassinating the king and killing the driver", was just a substitute for the dead ghost, and no one cared about it.
It's not a win-win, it's a win-win.
From King Zhao's point of view, he was successfully whitewashed by Zhu Gaoxian, although he lost the two guards on the left and right of Changshan and some of the forces in Shuntianfu, but this was already a very light punishment. He committed the great crime of treason by assassinating the king and killing the driver, and Zhu Di was already quite merciful if he didn't give him death!
From Zhu Di's point of view, the negative public opinion was minimized, the majesty of the royal family was maintained, and the infamy of "father and son killed each other in the Yongle dynasty" was not recorded in the history books.
From Zhu Gaoxian's point of view, he not only won a great favor from King Zhao, but also troubled the emperor. And this time, he was ordered by the emperor to temporarily take over the guards of Shuntian Mansion, and he could justifiably insert his own chess pieces while cleaning up the forces of King Zhao, and make money.
The only thing that didn't make money was Dong Zizhuang, the long history of Zhao Wangfu, maybe he was really innocent, and then he was charged with rebellion for King Zhao for no reason. Dong Zizhuang's beheading is a sure thing, maybe you can also experience Fang Xiaoru's "Zhu Shi Clan" or Jingqing's "Melon Man Copy" full of copied and beheaded limited packages.
Yongle this dynasty is really playing with flowers in terms of copying and beheading.
……
Lu Chaoyang fought wits and courage with the local bureaucrats in Shandong, and there were only three thousand households left in Beizhen Fusi to do things, but two of the three thousand households were in Jinling City, and only one thousand households followed Zhu Gaoxian to Shuntian Mansion.
But Zhu Gaoxian didn't worry that no one would use him, so he asked the shadow servant Ah Qi to temporarily lead the Beizhen Fusi and go to the whole city to search for him according to Zhu Di's wishes.
The shadow attendant is the top version of the brocade guard, and it is easy to do this kind of thing, so it is perfect for Ah Qi to do it.
In addition, King Zhao was also very cooperative, and there was no intention of resisting at all, and things went more smoothly.
……
After Zhu Gaoxian arrived in Shuntian Mansion, he did not live in the palace city, but in the imperial city. Now Zhu Gaoxian is in charge of the Beizhen Fusi's cavalry and the guards of Shuntian Mansion, all walks of life have people, if you live in the palace, you need to pass the waist card and apply, it is really inconvenient, Zhu Gaoxian simply moved directly to the imperial city between the capital and the palace district.
In this way, whether it is the cavalry of the Beizhen Fusi or the general of the guard to report, it is much easier and easier.
In front of the "temporary" Qi Wang's Mansion, two guests arrived at the same time, and their purpose was to thank Zhu Gaoxian for his "life-saving grace".
It's just that...... The relationship between the two guests was not harmonious.
……
Zhu Gaosui, the prince of Zhao, and Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the imperial grandson, looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
The two symbolize different parties, King Zhao has always been on the side of the Han King Party before, he and the King of Han have the same ambition to seize the heir, and the princes who take the heir have the same enemy, so he is still the prince.
But King Zhao's power is far inferior to that of the princelings, and they are far worse than the Han kings, so he can only stand on the side of the Han kings and unite to find ways to kick Zhu Fatpang off the throne of the prince.
As for Zhu Zhanji, there is no need to mention that the heir to the princelings who is rooted in Miao Hong, the emperor's canonized imperial grandson, is the second in line to the throne.
The relationship between the two cannot be said to be life and death, it can only be said that water and fire are incompatible.
"Ahem." King Zhao was the first to speak, and said with a smile, "Eldest nephew, how are you doing lately?" ”
Zhu Zhanji said implicitly: "Thanks to the blessing of the third uncle, my nephew is very good." It's just that I don't know how the third uncle is doing recently, I heard that there are rebellious ministers and thieves in your palace, oops, this is too scary, it doesn't involve you, right? ”
Of course, he knew how miserable Zhu Gaosui had been recently, and the dog who was scolded by the emperor was bloody, not only was he cut off the two guards on the left and right of Changshan, but the foundation he had worked so hard to save in Shuntian Mansion was also uprooted one by one, and he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.
Seeing that the third uncle was so miserable, Zhu Zhanji expressed his grief and sprinkled salt on King Zhao's wound as a sign of respect.
