Chapter 446: Zhu Gaoxian: Who gave you the guts?
Since beating Lao Zhu and defeating the Mongols to establish the Ming Dynasty, such an outrageous and absurd thing has never happened in the past few decades!
A minister of the six ministries, the right attendant of the dignified ceremonial department, is a third grade, and can almost be regarded as an important minister of the humerus of the imperial court, and he actually stabbed the prince of the East Palace with a crossbow arrow in public!
What madness is this?
Only those thieves who rebelled and plotted to usurp the throne recorded in the history books would act so rampantly!
Therefore, just after Hu Shilang just took out the crossbow arrow hidden in his arms, and then was quickly cut off by Jinyiwei's hands, there was an uproar on the field in an instant!
Whether it was the civil and military officials in the rear, or the onlookers who had not completely left, they were all completely shocked by the scene in front of them!
This is a face-to-face plot to assassinate the prince!
And with a forbidden crossbow bolt!
The assassin turned out to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, a high-ranking official of the imperial court!
Except for those guys who had evil intentions and were extremely flustered at this time, almost all the other officials were shocked and frightened at the same time.
Could this surnamed Hu be crazy because he has lost his mind?
How dare you act so absurdly and rebelliously!
However, after the initial shock, many officials quickly reacted and became furious.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was the first to come out, his face turned red, and he pointed to Hu Shilang, who had already fainted from excessive blood loss on the ground, and said tremblingly:
"Brute! You traitor! ”
"How dare you do such a heart-wrenching thing!"
"What are your intentions? I actually want to rebel and usurp! ”
The rest of the officials also began to scold, and their words were full of hatred for Hu Shilang, who fell to the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
Who would have thought that among the most unlikely and undesirable civil and military officials, there would be a person like Hu Shilang who openly assassinated Zhu Gaoxian with crossbow arrows!
This completely broke the entire officialdom ecology of the Ming Dynasty, and it can even be said that it was a very fierce and heavy fatal blow to the Ming Dynasty!
You must know that with the old emperor Zhu Di Bintian, Zhu Gaoxian, the prince of the prison country, has a stable position, and is the successor of the emperor who is justified.
However, at this juncture, he would be blatantly assassinated by important officials in such an extremely significant public place?
It's a big joke!
It has also brought heavier pressure to many officials than the majestic Mount Tai!
After all, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites can take out a well-wound crossbow arrow from his arms, and aim straight at Zhu Gaoxian, the prince, to assassinate him, so must the other officials be good people?
Among so many civil and military officials at this scene, are there other people who want to assassinate Zhu Gaoxian? Are there any other members of the same party? Who is in charge of all this conspiracy?
Therefore, when everyone scolded Hu Shilang, Yang Rong and Zhu Gaoxian discussed a few words in a low voice, and after receiving his order, they walked out of the guards of the Jinyi Guard, and glanced around with very stern eyes, forcing many officials to be silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are a lot of things going on today, and there are assassins appearing, and His Highness has an order, and the people and officials have left one after another and left in an orderly manner."
"His Royal Highness will lead the people to present the Jietai Temple on his own, accompanied by the cabinet."
"Wait until tomorrow's court meeting, and then discuss this matter."
"Wait, let's all disperse first."
Hearing Yang Rong's words, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly became anxious, this dedication to the Jietai Temple, there is no business of its own? In addition, Hu Shilang also made an assassination, wouldn't he be about to be unlucky?
He spoke in a hurry:
"Elder Yang Ge, this ......"
Yang Rong glanced at him, his eyes were full of warning, when has this been, you are still so long-winded, what do you want to do?
Your Ministry of Rites poked out such a big basket at once, fortunately, Your Highness is fine, otherwise, the old man will be the first to send troops in and kill you all!
"It's all gone, the old man doesn't want to say it a second time."
As Yang Rong's words fell, the dozens of brocade guards behind him, plus those soldiers in armor, also took a few steps forward, coldly staring at everyone on the field.
As a result, no one dared to say more.
Many officials, only under the command of the Jinyi guards on the side, left in an orderly manner, except for those who had already been completely numb in their hearts and only knew that they were groggy and walked with the crowd, the rest of the officials were talking in small voices while leaving, their faces were full of disbelief mixed with anger.
After all, this kind of blatant assassination of the prince by court officials, except for the last dynasty of the great chaos in the world written in the history books, is almost unprecedented, which can be called appalling to the extreme!
Nowadays, Confucianism is still the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty, and loyalty to the monarch and patriotism are almost like a knife mark.
And Zhu Gaoxian watched all this silently in the crowd, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the crowd in the distance, inadvertently glanced at Hu Shilang, who had already fainted on the ground, and said slowly:
"It's interesting, it's so interesting......"
However, these people around him didn't dare to really find it interesting.
Xia Yuanji has a straightforward personality, and he is desperate for Zhu Gaoxian, he is a real loyal minister, he arched his hand at Zhu Gaoxian, and his expression was very serious:
"Your Highness, this matter is by no means trivial, the surname Hu is the third product of the dynasty, and the Hu family is a big clan in the north, with huge power, he dares to take such a risk to assassinate, which shows that there must be a reason to do it."
"That's why he is willing to take such a risk of destroying his family!"
Shen Qingyu was squatting beside Hu Shilang, whose hands had been cut off, inspecting the crossbow arrow that had not been fired, and when he heard Zhu Gaoxian's words, he also stood up straight:
"Your Highness, this crossbow arrow, which is almost exactly the same as the one used by the two assassins, should be the same batch that flowed out."
"Moreover, the minister found that these arrows were all smeared with poison that sealed their throats with blood......"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
This, this is really deliberate! came completely prepared, bent on putting Zhu Gaoxian, the prince of the East Palace, to death!
Zhu Gaoxian was not surprised, if he did the assassination, he would naturally be fully prepared.
It's a pity that he could have been assassinated so easily?
Amusing!
He didn't look at Hu Shilang on the ground, and directly gave an order to Shen Qingyu:
"Torture this person alive!"
"Lone is really curious, who gave him so much courage!" (End of chapter)
