Chapter 5 The Prince of the Storm
Zhu Houzhao didn't say a word, with his hands behind his back, in the Taihemen class room, sitting quietly, drinking tea quietly, all the ministers of civil and military affairs had already been accepted into the palace, everything that Eunuch Fan did was fake, and when Zhu Chenhao entered the palace, everything outside the palace recovered, what should I do, it can be said that a breeze swept by, and no ripples rippled.
Miyagi closed silently.
Zhu Chenhao went straight into the Qianqing Palace, ready to accept the throne given by God, the first emperor died, the crown prince died again, and now in Beijing, except for Zhu Chenhao, the king of Thaning, who else? He took the lead, the time and place were favorable, and he was on his own side, and when he successfully ascended the throne, he would announce to the world in the name of Empress Zhang and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs that the major event would be decided.
It's a little exciting to think about it, which of my nephews has no bones, this world originally has half of my King Ning's lineage, why have you been doing it, if it wasn't for the ancestors who believed Zhu Di's nonsense and divided the world equally, why would he have been oppressed for a hundred years, now, this king just regains everything that belongs to the ancestors, and the way of heaven is a good cycle.
When he stood in front of the stop of the Qianqing Palace, he looked at Hongzhi's coffin and sighed, forget it, your father and son are deeply affectionate, wait for me to ascend the throne, send your son to accompany you, and then, he swaggered towards the throne, Li Shiqi hurriedly said; "The first emperor is a great line, the prince is the grandson of the ancestor, he has the unshirkable responsibility, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the prince is buried again, and there are great funerals one after another, the misfortune of the country, how can the throne be vacant, minister, respectfully ask the prince to ascend the throne."
Eunuch Fan also knelt on the ground, expressing his submission and flattering face.
Zhu Chenhao wanted to laugh out loud, but he deeply suppressed his excitement and said when he heard the words; "Let's get up, don't be in a hurry in this matter." Then he rolled his eyes and looked at Fan Ting.
"Father-in-law bothers you to take a trip, and invite the six adults, civil and military to the palace, this king has important matters to discuss." Zhu Chenhao stood on the edge of the throne, but he still didn't dare to sit down, and it was still inappropriate to sit on the throne without the approval of the ministers.
Seeing that he was cautious, Fan Ting couldn't help but sneer in his heart, at this time, he was still pretentious, are you a fool to be someone else?
"The old slave is going to invite you to the temple." Fan Ting respectfully retired.
Standing next to him was the bearded general, as well as the dog-headed military advisor Li Shiqi, Zhu Chenhao began to say with joy in his heart; "General Liu's contribution is indispensable, the big event has been decided, this king will never break his word, it is needless to say that the marquis will worship the general, and you Shiqi, you have been planning for me for many years, you have made great contributions, and the third prince will have a seat for you."
"Your Majesty, Weichen has done his best to die." "Your Majesty, Longen, it will be difficult to repay the death in the end."
Hearing the name of the two, Zhu Chenhao looked comfortable, but said on his face; "You guys, this king hasn't ascended the throne yet, don't talk nonsense, haha..."
Fan Ting soon returned, bowed down to King Ning, and reported; "Lord Wang, the ministers are here."
King Ning nodded and said, "Please come to the palace." He himself stood on the edge of the dragon chair.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the temple." Fan Ting shouted in a shrill voice.
The three dukes, the six departments and the nine qings, the civil and military generals, went to the hall in turn, and as soon as they entered the door, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were all stunned, and looked at each other, what is the situation, King Ning? Why is he here, and dare to approach the dragon chair.
Then there are six important ministers and civil and military classes, some people are surprised, some people are puzzled, some people are relieved, and so on, no matter what conspiracy the prince has next, King Ning stands on it without scruples, it can be seen that the imperial city has been controlled, so there is no need to worry about it next, several adults who fell to King Ning among the ministers glanced at each other, and they had confidence in their hearts.
The crown prince Zhu Houzhao did not appear, and he was secretly observing here at the moment.
Zhu Chenhao, when he didn't find out that Zhang Ying was missing, maybe, it wasn't that he didn't find it, but his self-confidence swelled and deliberately ignored this detail.
Xie Qian was the most upright, and when he saw King Ning standing on the edge of the dragon chair, he said angrily; "King Ning, you are a vassal king, and you are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without an edict, but now the prince not only left the fiefdom for no reason and entered the palace without authorization, but he boldly stood on the side of the emperor's throne, but the prince is planning to rebel?"
King Ning didn't say anything, just watched quietly, For these old ministers of the first emperor, he still knows in his heart, Xie Qian is a stinky temper, even when the first emperor was in power, he dared to speak out in court, so that the first emperor was a little unable to get off the stage, fortunately, the first emperor had a good temper, just laughed it off, if it was changed to the Hongwu Dynasty or the Yongle Dynasty, he would have died a long time ago and didn't know how to die.
Li Shiqi stood up and said for Ning Wang; "The first emperor is a great trip, the prince enters Beijing to mourn, why not, the prince enters the palace by the decree of Yi, why did he enter the palace without authorization?"
Xie Qian is one of the three dukes, with a high position and power, how can he be compared to a small palace staff, and he was even more furious when he heard this; "Who is you, above the court, how can you be presumptuous."
Liu Jian also glared at Ning Wangdao; "The prince is a rebel?"
Li Dongyang was also angry, he thought it was summoned by the prince, but he didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he came in, so that he, who has always been calm and resourceful, was also angry, pointing at Fan Ting and saying hatefully; "The first emperor is a great trip, the bones are not cold, you eunuch, you dare to falsely spread the decree and deceive us and other ministers, the eunuch deserves to die."
Fan Ting was really wronged, his face twitched, his reputation was notorious now, and he didn't know what the prince was thinking, he didn't show up yet, he had no choice but to continue acting, I saw that he was furious when he heard the words, and shouted angrily; "Li Dongyang, you dare to scold our family, someone is coming, pull it down, beat it."
General Liu waved his hand, and the two soldiers stepped forward, ready to pull Li Dongyang down, and the court was suddenly in a hustle and bustle, some people were happy, some people were worried, King Ning was strong, looking at the bearded generals around him, it was not easy to provoke, and there were all people from Dongchang around, as well as people from the Shenji Battalion, it must be King Ning's people, and the sky has changed.
These words echoed in everyone's minds, and immediately someone stood in line, and began to accuse Li Dongyang and others of not being right, saying everything, it is important to stand in line at this time, prince, where is it, he must have been arrested, and the sky has changed.
Xie Qian was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was supported by Liu Gong beside him, trembling his arms, pointing at his former colleagues around him, and scolding: "Traitors, you are all traitors, even if you die, the old man will not let you go." ”
Li Dongyang was taken away, along with Xie Qian and Liu Jian, leaving only six Shangshu, Jiuqing, and civil and military generals.
Some are mighty and unyielding, some tend to be inflammatory, groveling, and stand in a clear line, but fortunately, most of the ministers did not choose to compromise and succumb, and were taken away by Dongchang or General Liu's people.
The rest, needless to say, are all anti-thieves, then, the play is almost here, it's almost there, but unfortunately, at this time, the prince still hasn't appeared, I don't know where and what kind of attention, he seems to have been forgotten, Zhu Chenhao thought that the prince was dead and didn't mention it, and those who knew that the prince was not dead didn't mention it, in their hearts, even if the prince is alive, the general trend has gone, and he must have been captured by King Ning, there is no need to touch King Ning's mold at this time.
But he didn't know that death was coming, and the catastrophe of raiding his family and exterminating his family was just around the corner.
Fan Ting and General Liu cooperated with King Ning, serving cautiously, as if they were treating the saint, paralyzing King Ning.
And, on the other side, the ministers who were taken out had already come to the Kunning Palace, and the crown prince was also here.
"Niangniang, King Ning rebelled, the imperial city is in danger, and now, alas."
"Your Highness, the ministers are incompetent, and they didn't discover King Ning's conspiracy early, so they are ashamed of the emperor."
"Even if the ministers die, they can't be the guilty ministers who serve the thieves of the country, woo..."
Kunning Palace was crying, only Li Dongyang was the first to wake up, those soldiers who arrested him, although they looked fierce, they did not have a murderous spirit, and they did not mean to humiliate him, but were directly brought to Kunning Palace to see Queen Zhang and the crown prince, what is going on? I can't see through it at all.
The prince sat beside Empress Zhang with a well-behaved face, and Empress Zhang listened to the cry of the ministers, and only gave a faint "oh", indicating that she knew, Li Dongyang looked at the queen and the prince strangely, I don't understand, I don't understand at all, I don't understand, just ask, he is different from some pedantic ministers.
"Niangniang, please forgive the old minister for daring to ask, I don't know why the old minister can sit calmly, the catastrophe is just around the corner, the attitude of the old minister makes the old minister very puzzled and admired?"
Empress Zhang glanced at the well-behaved and even somewhat obstructive prince beside her, and sighed in her heart, "Don't say that you don't understand the Li Qing family, the mourning family is even more puzzled, if you didn't know everything in advance, I'm afraid it's better for you to wait now, alas, the good son of the first emperor and the mourning family." ”
She glared at the prince and motioned for him to explain himself and appease the loyal ministers.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, gave a reassuring look to the queen mother, and said; "Taifu sits, the palace did not communicate with you in advance, please rest assured, King Ning is rebelling, it is just a bureau of the palace, he can't mess up with him, Taifu and relax, you adults sit in the palace and punish the thief."
"Bang Bang~." Zhu Houzhao gently clapped his palms.
The middle-aged Xiushi appeared again, he has been by Empress Zhang's side, just an inconspicuous forbidden army, no one knows that this forbidden army has a terrible Iron Eagle Guard, although the number is small, but it can be compared to any Beijing battalion, the weapons and equipment are the best, and the training is also people who are absolutely loyal to the royal family, and it is a real killing machine.
"Your Highness, please."
Since Zhu Houzhao let him appear, he said that he didn't plan to hide this secret guard, anyway, it would be exposed in the end, the power of this thing, not the deeper the hidden, the better, sometimes, the appropriate display and exposure can be more shocking and play a big role.
"Let's do it, Ning Wangshu has made enough trouble, let's end it early."
The middle-aged Xiushi respectfully took the order and left.
Zhu Houzhao then turned his head and said lightly: "The Chinese courtiers of the dynasty are not even, and it is just a good opportunity to deal with it, from now on, all of you lords should be dedicated to state affairs and fulfill their duties, and this palace should rule the world with all of you lords in the future." ”
The prince's calm and unhurried attitude surprised them very much, especially the indifferent tone, as if King Ning could be captured, it was really a blockbuster if he didn't scream, not only eradicated the rebellion, but also established the majesty, if it succeeded, who could not be convinced, the first emperor used a full ten years, ten years, only this majesty, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, it has been done day and night, how terrible the means and mind, the emperor is fortunate.
This is the voice of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.
As for Xie Qian, in the past, he and Li Dongyang, who were messy, lawless, and often angry, went to the first emperor where to take turns to complain, and the prince Zhu Houzhao grew up overnight, quite a generation of heroes, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, is this really the former prince Zhu Houzhao?
What a ridiculous thing is the recital in the sleeve at this moment, the ministers are all happy and sorrowful, ups and downs, and are easily played and applauded by the prince, they are a group of chess pieces, and the prince is the hand holding the chess pieces, playing the chessboard, and killing vertically and horizontally.
Empress Zhang knows that the emperor has been smart since he was a child, although he often provokes the former emperor to be angry and blamed, but she knows the former emperor's love and recognition of the crown prince, and now she sees the stunned looks of the ministers, and the indescribable comfort in her heart, if the first emperor is still there, how good it would be to see this moment, thinking of the first emperor faintly tearful.
The prince handed over the embroidered handkerchief and said; "The queen mother is resting, the emperor will not bother, and the son will retire."
"The ministers are leaving."
The ministers withdrew from Kunning Palace, followed behind the prince, looked at the prince's back again, and couldn't help but sigh, "The queen is the successor." ”
