Zheng Zhichang has reached a height that he shouldn't have.

An official of the Ministry of Rites from the fifth grade, suddenly jumped into the right capital of the second grade, and killed the Quartet with the support of the Han King Party. The Qi Wang Party and the princeling party, who seemed to control the entire court before, suddenly fell silent, and were beaten by the Han Wang Party.

It was only now that the King of Han figured out the truth of this: it was not that the King of Han became stronger, but that the King of Qi and the crown prince became weaker.

If the King of Han could understand the meaning of King Qi and the crown prince in advance, he should have stopped after tasting the cheap, instead of continuing to unscrupulously expand his power and suppress his political opponents.

In this way, the king of Han has caused a serious imbalance in the court. So the emperor made a move, and with a light and calm message, he abolished Zheng Zhichang, the core figure of the current Han Wang Party.

Zheng Zhichang was dropped to the Criminal Department, there is no doubt that Zheng Zhichang is like a little sheep into the dense wolf den of the princelings' criminal department, and it is a luxury to keep a whole corpse.

From the very beginning, King Qi and the crown prince tacitly agreed to set up King Han!

Han Wang ate the cheese laid out by his two sworn enemies as he got into the trap, and by the time he reacted, the rope was already around his neck!

……

The party struggle is like a knife fighting to the death, inadvertently flawed, after being caught by the opponent, the army is defeated, and the whole game is lost in an uproar. There is no blunt knife to cut meat, it is completely a quick knife to cut through the mess.

The Qi Wang Party and the princeling party, which were still slightly declining before, suddenly rose up at this moment, pressing the Han Wang Party under their bodies and rubbing them. Seeing the wind, the helmsman also knew that the defeat of the King of Han was decided, so they threw themselves into King Qi and the crown prince, and fell into the well against the King of Han.

The emperor issued an edict and ordered to re-propose the case of the rebellion of the previous Ji Gang, and more than 40 ministers of the Qi Wang Party and the princelings, including Lu Chaoyang, the envoy of Jinyiwei, Yang Rong, the cabinet scholar, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, tried and decided whether to ask whether to be convicted, and the three divisions of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple were tried.

This is basically a trial without suspense, most of the three legal divisions are princelings, which is tantamount to letting their own family members try their own family, how can they try anything, although Zheng Zhichang, who was sent to the Criminal Department, tried hard to stir up the situation, but it was still harmless.

The real big change was that the emperor migrated the Han king to Le'an Prefecture in Shandong and ordered him to set off immediately.

King Han didn't resist again this time, and he had no reason to resist, he lost all the games in the court, and if he didn't honestly serve the domain, King Qi and the prince could swallow him alive!

……

East Palace

The prince sat leisurely in the inner hall, took a sip of tea with a blue and white porcelain teacup, and couldn't help but admire: "Good tea, elegant aroma, fresh entrance, this is the best East to Maojian." ”

"If the prince likes it, there are still many in the minister's family, and I will send them to you tomorrow." Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said with a smile.

Wu Zhongben was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but he resigned because of Ding Wei. After King Qi's "blood splashed in the Heavenly Palace", the left and right governors of the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate were all vacant, and Liu Guanqian, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, moved to the Imperial History of the Left Capital, but in this way, the Criminal Department was vacant again, and the prince found the opportunity to play to the emperor, and the emperor seized the favor and reinstated Wu Zhong to take charge of the Criminal Department.

If you say it by force, the reason why Wu Zhong was able to recover so quickly has something to do with King Qi.

"Put the tea aside in advance, and the criminal department will ......," the prince said here and paused.

Wu Zhong smiled at the corner of his eyes: "Your Highness, rest assured, that Zheng Zhichang fell into the Criminal Department, and the minister will definitely make it difficult for him to die, and the officials of the Criminal Department will not let Zheng Zhichang have a good time." ”

The prince shook his head: "No, that's not what I mean, I mean, let the Criminal Department relax with Zheng Zhichang, there is no need to target him." ”

Wu Zhong was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

Zheng Zhichang jumped from the princelings to the Han Dynasty, and he also desperately counterattacked the princelings. But now the prince wants the princelings of the Criminal Department to treat Zheng Zhichang gently, what is this?

The crown prince smiled slightly: "Think about it, why can we take the king of Han so easily this time?" ”

Wu Zhong said without thinking: "Of course, because His Highness is far-sighted, the King of Han is ignorant, and His Highness easily overturned it. The king of Han compared Zheng Zhichang to a sleeping dragon and phoenix, haha, this person is nothing more than that, the king of Han was defeated, Zheng Zhichang made great contributions, and the minister thought that this surname Zheng was a dark pile we sent to the king of Han......"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Zhong's eyes widened: "Wait, it's not possible...... Is Zheng Zhichang really our person? ”

The prince smiled and said nothing, as if he had said nothing, but as if he had said everything.

Wu Zhong felt that his brain was not enough: "This, this is unreasonable......"

The representatives who co-authored the Han Wang Party were the members of their princelings?

Wait, what role is the prince playing?

Zheng Zhichang, as a princeling, was bribed by the King of Han to fight against the princelings, but in fact, the real identity of this benevolent brother is the secret stake of the princelings? Mission Impossible?

Directly into the hidden stakes of the enemy's upper echelons?

In fact, the crown prince has been controlling the attack of the Han Wang Party all along, leading the Han Wang Party to its destruction?

Wu Zhong suddenly realized an important question: "Zheng Zhichang, how to deal with it?" ”

Although this benevolent brother helped the princelings to make a great contribution, kicking his rival King Han out of the capital and going to Shandong to become a vassal domain, no matter how dull King Han is, he can also find clues in the process of reflecting on his failure, once he realizes that he has been cheated by Zheng Zhichang, he will definitely lose his mind and go crazy to retaliate.

In addition, how should the princelings face Zheng Zhichang?

In this party dispute, there are not a few princelings who fell because of Zheng Zhichang, otherwise the King of Han would not trust this person so much. In the face of such a person with a heavy status, the princelings will also be guilty.

And the relatives who stood on King Qi's side also did not do well, and they also glared at Zheng Zhichang. If someone wants to take revenge on this person, presumably the relatives will also be happy to help go to the well.

Zheng Zhichang has offended all the three major factions in the court, how can he still live, can the prince keep it?

"To be precise, Zheng Zhichang didn't think that he could die well."

The prince said faintly, "He has already calculated that he will be surrounded and suppressed in the end, and it will be difficult to survive, and his last thought is to drag a few more Han Wang Party and Qi Wang Party to hell." ”

Wu Zhong is a little confused, what kind of madman is this?

didn't think about how much benefit he could get in the end, so he thought about pulling a few people to accompany the funeral and eradicate the enemy for the prince? Did the prince pour ecstasy soup into this guy?

"Great...... Well? Wu Zhonggang wanted to sigh at Zheng Zhichang's high wind and bright festival, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Zheng Zhichang wants to deal with King Qi?!" ”

What does this have to do with King Qi!

Aren't the princelings and the King of Qi party close comrades-in-arms, everyone is still working together to deal with the King of Han, why do they have to fight against the King of Qi now?

"King Qi, without any effort, he got rid of King Han with a lonely hand." The corners of the prince's mouth rose, "When the king of Han becomes a vassal, he will be the only one left as a lone opponent." ”

Lu Zhong was silent, this is indeed the case.

In the previous Jinling City, King Qi, the crown prince, and the king of Han stood on three legs, and the palace of Qi and the East Palace had a common enemy, the king of Han, so they could trust each other and unite, but now that the king of Han is about to be driven out of the capital, the relationship between the king of Qi and the prince has become delicate.

In the final analysis, where the party fights for true friends, it is just a matter of taking what each side needs. And the prince just chose to strike first.

There is no shame in the despicable means, but the loser is the most shameful.

……

After the news of King Han's imminent inauguration was announced, Zhu Gaoxian also returned to King Qi's mansion from Songlu Mountain. The training plan of the sergeants has a rough outline, with Chirong in Songlu Mountain, and the next training can be carried out smoothly even if there is no Zhu Gaoxian, the prince of Qi.

He trained in Songlu Mountain, not simply to train the palace guards. The palace guards can train at any time, so why bother to go to the most ruthless time to fight with the Han king?

Another important reason is to confuse the Han king, create a layer of illusion, and win more opportunities for the princelings to counterattack the Han king. How did King Han fall, Zhu Gaoxian could also return to King Qi's Mansion to resume his life safely, but the training on the side of Songlu Mountain could not be stopped, which belonged to his core team.

Zhu Gaoxian didn't know that the prince was thinking about stabbing him in the back, but even if he knew, he didn't care.

Because, Zhu Gaoxian is now planning a plan to deal with the princelings.

He and the crown prince's thoughts coincide. After the fall of King Han, both sides were preparing to strike first and catch each other off guard.

The biggest feature of the Zhu family is that they are killed by their siblings.

Zhu Gaoxian called Su Wu and asked, "Did the emperor explain the day when King Han became a vassal there?" ”

"It hasn't been announced yet, but there is news in the palace that the Han Dynasty should not be delayed until the end of the month." Su Wu replied.

Su Wu does not hold a position in the Qi Palace, and his identity is similar to Su Qing, a doorman in the Han Palace, who belongs to the staff, to be precise, more like Zhu Gaoxian's personal secretary.

In these days when Zhu Gaoxian was in Songlu Mountain, Su Wu was in contact with the relationship in the palace, paying attention to the wind and grass in the capital. And Su Wu would sort out a long letter and report to Zhu Gaoxian every day according to the information he collected.

"At the end of the month...... Let this king think. Zhu Gaoxian touched the short beard of his chin, which was his subconscious action when he was thinking.

The ancients paid attention to etiquette and filial piety, and the parents of the body and skin could not be damaged at will without special circumstances. After the death of the father, the man cannot shave off the beard of the upper lip, and if the mother dies, the beard of the chin must be retained. Although many people did not take these etiquette seriously in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxian still abided by this etiquette, and after Empress Xu died of illness, he has been growing beards.

Zhu Gaoxian has no feelings for his father Zhu Di, but he always respects his mother Queen Xu.

The main reason is that Zhu Di is not authentic, and he treats his own son as a monkey all day long.
