Chapter 401: The Anti-Tyrant Alliance is a bit strong
The morning sun also sprinkled on the West Garden, and the Heart Nourishing Hall located on the east side of the Taiye Pond looked golden.
A faint green smoke rises from the quaint copper furnace, and the smell of sandalwood seems stronger and stronger, but it does have a refreshing effect.
"The mysteries of heaven are all self-solving!"
Zhu Youzhu liked the smell of sandalwood in the air very much, his eyes fell on the eight words he had just written, and his thoughts at the moment seemed very clear, but his eyes flashed with helplessness.
He naturally didn't want his throne to be handed over to others, and he didn't want to see the situation of "succeeding to the throne without succession", so he chose to explain himself.
Originally, his plan was to destroy King Xing's marriage, so that he could not only prevent the birth of Zhu Houxi, the son of luck, but also maybe make Zhu Houxi, the son of luck, call his father.
It's just that my cards are played, and the current situation has a faint feeling of being out of control.
Even if the emperor himself had already expressed his intentions, he fabricated the identity of Jin Feng's reincarnation to Jiang Yan through Dongfang Dao, but as a result, not only King Xing and the conspirators in the capital did not buy it, but also the Empress Dowager Zhou jumped out to stop it.
Although he prevented King Xing's uncle Shao Kang from going through Jinyiwei, Jiang's mother and daughter were also dragged in Qingning Palace, and their marriages with King Xing on both sides were at a standstill.
In fact, the current situation is even more unfavorable for me, after all, I belong to the defensive side.
If the other relatives of King Xing break through the barrier of Jinyiwei, and the Jiang family takes the letter of appointment from King Xing in their own way, then King Xing will win this competition.
Even if he is a high emperor, he can't change this marriage contract.
Not to mention that Jiang Yan only has a little bit of beauty, even if she is really a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color, it is impossible for her to be infamous for robbing her brother and daughter-in-law because of a woman.
As for the plan I hoped for to "reverse the destiny of heaven", I am afraid that it will also go bankrupt.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are all blocked out of Qingning Palace, do you want to come forward in person?" After Liu Jin learned the news of the Forbidden City, he reported it nervously.
Zhu Youzhu was about to answer, but saw Niu Mengmeng suddenly walk out in a hurry, a faint layer of sweat oozing from his pink forehead, and his beautiful eyes were still smart.
In the entire palace, Niu Meng is a very special existence. Not only can she walk in the Forbidden City, but she can also come here from time to time if she has a good reason.
Niu Mengmeng was appointed by the queen to deliver snacks this time, and at the same time brought an investigation report: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has just found out!" Today, Donghuamen is Chen Xiang's father-in-law on duty, and Qingning Palace sent someone to intercept the mother and daughter of the Jiang family, not only did he not communicate with the Queen Mother, but also did not allow others to speak out! ”
Zhu Youzhu didn't care too much about the Empress Dowager Zhou's interception of the Jiang family's mother and daughter, and was more concerned about who betrayed.
Although the battle in the palace was important, it was equally important to govern the eunuchs and maids well, especially since the palace did not allow people who were not loyal to themselves to exist.
"Your Majesty, the slave will deal with it!" When Liu Jin learned that there was a traitor, he immediately took the initiative to ask for help.
Zhu Youzhu raised his index finger and shook it gently, his eyes flashed with a thick killing intent and said, "No, hand over the person to Dongchang for disposal, and call Qin Conggui over immediately!" ”
The functions of the East Factory and the Jinyi Guard actually conflicted, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate has set up a search department, so now the focus of the East Factory is against the eunuch group.
Now that there is such a disloyal person in the eunuch group, it is far from enough to just demote and punish, but he will be thrown into the Dongchang Prison, which is worse than death, so as to reach the point of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.
I have to admit that even if I repeatedly cleaned up the eunuchs and palace maids through the East Factory, I never got to the point of completely eradicating them, and there were still a few eunuchs who were desperate for the Empress Dowager Zhou.
"The slave asked Little Peach, she is not as beautiful as me!" Zhu Mengmeng was about to return to the Forbidden City after completing his task, but he suddenly said something.
Zhu Youzhu was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand who this little girl was referring to.
It's just that his gaze fell on a secret piece of information that had just been sent, and after seeing the content on it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness.
Sometimes, he had to reflect on himself.
If you are a good emperor according to the established history, and share the blessings of peace with the scholars, you should be able to get their support, instead of the current discord.
However, in the end, he chose a completely different path, and slowly evolved into an antagonistic relationship with these vested interest groups.
Just when the mother and daughter of the Jiang family were still happily playing mahjong in the Qingning Palace of the Empress Dowager of Zhou, King Xing's side had already taken action again, and another relative of King Xing came to the door of Jiang's mansion.
A tall carriage stopped slowly, immediately attracting the attention of the surrounding people, but they were all curious about who the people in the carriage would be.
Wang Xiang had been in the restaurant at the entrance of the street in front of him, and when he saw the purple figure from a distance, he sighed, and then drank the wine in his hand.
Although he really wanted to stop it again, and he also wanted to arrest people in the name of Jinyiwei, but the identity of the other party really couldn't be provoked, and he couldn't arbitrarily charge him with suspected rebellion.
After all, this dynasty has people with special statuses, and Jinyiwei doesn't care about everything, not to mention that the emperor has already asked him not to mess around.
The woman who appeared in front of the Jiang family was none other than the high-flying Chongqing princess.
Although the princess of Chongqing does not have any real power, her identity and status are here, and even Jin Yiwei cannot easily arrest the dignified imperial princess.
Now that the princess of Chongqing has appeared here, she is naturally here for King Xing.
She is the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager Zhou and the aunt of King Xing, so there is naturally no problem with coming to the appointment letter as a relative of King Xing.
It is precisely in this way that the key link in the ritual law was filled with the appearance of the Chongqing princess.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, fortunately you are here, the old slave will help you!" Huang Gonggong, the eunuch of Xingwangfu, saw the appearance of the princess of Chongqing, and immediately hurriedly stepped forward.
Although the princess of Chongqing was wearing a formal dress, she still had a white flower pinned to her head, and her eyes were full of resentment. In the face of the flattery of these eunuchs, he has long been accustomed to it, not to mention that he is here for King Xing this time.
"Get out!"
When the princess of Chongqing saw Zhang Cai standing at the door with several brocade guards, she immediately said unceremoniously.
Although Zhang Cai stayed here on the orders of the prime minister, the prime minister has not given an order so far, but when he met the eldest princess with a noble status, he could only silently make way for the eldest princess of the empire.
It's just that he doesn't understand in his heart, why does this imperial prince want to help King Xing?
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please stay!" It was at this moment that a voice came from behind.
The princess of Chongqing naturally knew what happened to Shao Kang, and immediately turned her head to look over with disdain and said, "Jinyi Wei didn't dare to make a move, and you all dare to be disrespectful to this palace?" Or do you want to arrest the main palace and put it in the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? ”
The person who appeared here was not Wang Xiang, but Wang Yu from the Search Hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Chongqing princess, how dare you arrest the princess! It's just that you should have heard that the Queen Mother wants to take Jiang Yan as a concubine for Her Majesty, right? Wang Yu did not come by order, but took the initiative to take a stand.
The princess of Chongqing naturally knew, but said indifferently: "So what? ”
"According to the measurement of Dongfang Gaoshi, Jiang Yan is the reincarnation of Jinfeng!" Wang Yu's brows frowned slightly, and he pointed out the key point here.
The people present nodded one after another, if Jiang Yan is just an ordinary noble girl, but it is the rumored reincarnation of Jin Feng, then this kind of woman has a reason to be sent to the palace.
The corners of Princess Chongqing's mouth rose slightly, as if provocatively: "So what? ”
"Eldest princess, please don't get involved in this matter!" Wang Yu didn't expect the princess of Chongqing to be so unscrupulous, and even pleaded seriously.
Princess Chongqing's face showed a touch of mockery, but she waved her sleeves like chasing flies: "This princess can't do things in an inferior person like you, your Wang family won't be beautiful for too long, get out!" ”
Even though a long time has passed, she has never forgotten the scene where she saw Zhou Jing being beheaded in front of her, and she has never forgotten this hatred.
This time, there is no need for the lobbyists of Xingwangfu to talk more, her relationship with Zhu Youzhu has been completely broken, and she naturally hopes that Xingwang can inherit the unification.
"Why does this eldest princess seem to have a grudge against the emperor?"
"Don't you know all this? Her concubine Zhou Jing died under Shang Fang's sword! ”
"Back then, in order to give the people a way to live and rectify finance, Zhou Jing blatantly disobeyed the decree with his identity, and it is not a pity to die!"
"Your Majesty is dedicated to our people, but even your own aunt doesn't help you, it's really embarrassing for our Majesty!"
……
The onlookers saw that the Chongqing princess broke through the barrier and entered the gate of the Jiang family, and saw that the balance of victory was tilted towards King Xing, but they couldn't help but feel sorry.
Wang Yu knew that the eldest princess was not only resentful of the emperor, but also resentful of his grandfather, after all, he was the grandfather who personally killed the concubine Zhou Jing.
It's just that Zhou Jing is completely to blame, not to mention that he openly disobeyed the imperial court to rectify finance, and the Jingsheng Money Village he operated forced countless people to die.
Wang Yu faced the scolding of the princess of Chongqing, and he also endured it silently, but he still didn't understand how these people dared to openly contradict the eloquent emperor Hongzhi?
The Chongqing princess's feet crossed the threshold and entered the Jiang Mansion smoothly.
"Humble to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" The two brothers, Jiang Bin and Jiang Yi, had already known the movement in front of the door, but they took the initiative to go to the front yard to bow down and bow down.
Although they guessed that King Xing would not give up so easily, they never expected that they would invite the eldest princess, but it made King Xing's side a lot heavier.
"Excuse me!" The eldest princess glanced at the two martial artists contemptuously, and walked straight towards the main hall.
The other personnel all knew that this eldest princess was arrogant, not to mention that she had been loved by Yingzong in every way since she was a child, and she was also liked by Xianzong, so she could be described as a real proud daughter of heaven.
The dowry of King Xing this time was very generous, in addition to Concubine Shao taking out most of her savings over the years, she also had the support of the people in the Xiangcheng Marquis Mansion.
The eldest princess sat on the first seat, and the eunuch Huang Gonggong of the Xingwang Mansion sang the gift list.
Not to mention the potential opportunity to be knighted, this batch of property alone is enough for the Jiang family to take the risk of offending the emperor and agree to this family business.
Now that Jiang's mother has taken Jiang Yan into the palace and has not returned, even if the Queen Mother has expressed her intention to take concubines for Her Majesty, they can now pretend not to know, so the emperor has no reason to beat them.
"Huh...... King Chengmeng Xing does not abandon his niece to be a shallow learner, and our Jiang family has agreed to this family business! But without waiting for the eldest princess to ask, Jiang Bin, the head of the Jiang family, immediately said with a smile.
"Wait!"
It was at this moment that a burly figure strode in.
Hey?
The princess of Chongqing has always had no one in her eyes, but when she saw this person appear, she immediately felt the killing aura on this person, and she couldn't help but look at this extraordinary martial artist.
"Uncle Zhen Liao, what kind of wind blew you here?" Jiang Bin saw the young man who appeared here, and immediately smiled politely.
Tie Xiangshan glanced at the eldest princess sitting on it, but directly expressed his attitude and said: "Jiang Bin, you have to think clearly, this letter of appointment can't be accepted!" ”
Because of the outstanding achievements of leading the Aegis Battalion in the southern and northern wars over the years, he was recently recalled by the imperial court to the capital to grant the town of Liaobo, responsible for forming a new Aegis Battalion to defend the savage Jurchen tribe.
Because the territory of the Ming Dynasty continued to move eastward, especially after the annexation of the three tribes of Haixi, now the conflict between the Ming and the savage Jurchen has increased, and some of the savage Jurchen tribes are even more eyeing the grasslands of the Northeast Province.
Although the A.R.D. battalion is the nemesis of the Jurchen cavalry, it ultimately belongs to the Beijing army, but it is impossible to be stationed in the Northeast Province for a long time, so it is planned to re-establish a heavy cavalry army in the Northeast Province from Tiexiang Mountain.
Although Tiexiang Mountain has already made its mark, it is from a low-level military family after all, and the Jiang family is a hereditary senior general, so it is with the idea of repaying the favor, and naturally there is also the intention of winning the support of the Jiang family for the emperor.
"Huh...... Tiexiang Mountain, you have indeed made a trace, but you can't control our Jiang family, right? Jiang Bin learned of the other party's intention, and immediately said with a straight face.
The princess of Chongqing seemed to be victorious, even though she knew that Tiexiang Mountain was coming to stir up trouble, she still drank tea slowly and watched this good scene quietly.
In fact, she knew that the Jiang family's suppression of King Baoxing was an important factor, but she didn't know that when Zhu Youzhu rectified the financial industry, the Jiang family also suffered heavy losses.
It is also fortunate that the Ming Dynasty is a dynasty with a centralized system of emperors, if this kind of thing is put to other dynasties, Zhu Youzhi may have already been drowned by others.
Tie Xiangshan's brows frowned slightly, and he immediately pointed out the powerful relationship and said: "It's not a prince's dispute now, do you know the consequences of getting involved?" ”
"What consequences? What is the king of Rixing, even if you are an uncle today, you still have to lead the horse for my Jiang family! Jiang Bin has a beautiful vision, but he is proud.
Tie Xiangshan didn't expect the other party to see the situation so clearly, and said angrily: "I miss the old love, so I came to persuade you, you should be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs!" ”
"Get out! Your grandfather was just a pawn of my Jiang family's camp back then, and you were just a nouveau riche, so it was not your turn to point fingers at my Jiang family! Jiang Bin didn't take Tiexiang Mountain from the bottom in his eyes at all, and immediately issued an order to expel customers.
Tiexiangshan was originally hot-tempered, but he just left a sentence and left: "You will regret it!" ”
"Joke! But a nouveau riche, with such short-sightedness, even if the wealth falls on you, you will not be stable! Second brother, sign it! Jiang Bin looked at the back of Tiexiang Mountain, but he directly tore his face.
Jiang Yi was also inclined to King Xing, who had unlimited potential, and nodded at his brother, even if he accepted the letter of appointment from Huang Gonggong and completed this marriage contract that attracted the attention of the world. (End of chapter)
