Chapter 160: The Majesty of the Prince! Right in the middle!
When Jinyi Wei heard the order, he immediately stepped forward and pulled out Huang Zicheng.
This change came too quickly, and suddenly shocked all the civil and military officials present.
Today is to come out to welcome the prince's triumphant return to the court.
Everyone thought that it was just a polite passscene.
The new army has made such great achievements, and it is inevitable that a heavy reward will be given.
Lao Zhu was very critical of officials, and the price set for them was the lowest in the past.
But the Ming soldiers who have made meritorious achievements have never been spared.
Otherwise, how can the soldiers fight desperately on the front line?
The civil servants also thought about the words of the saints and kept their personal ideas and beliefs.
The big-headed soldier doesn't care about that.
This era also did not have as extensive and in-depth patriotic education as later generations.
The big-headed soldiers who can't read big characters want to cut off people's heads, make military merits, and seek glory and wealth.
After winning the battle, the court should reward more money.
In the past, every time after the war, the head of the household would have a big headache.
Because the money needed is too expensive.
But this time was different.
The new army consisted of only five hundred people.
Everyone is rewarded heavily, and the overall expenditure is not too large.
As for Zhu Yunxi, as the commander of the new army, he is in charge of the new army, and his contribution is so great that he does not need to say more.
It's just that he is the prince, and the whole future will be his.
It doesn't matter if you reward it or not.
The only thing worth paying attention to is that his position as the prince has been difficult to shake since then.
But no one expected that as soon as Zhu Yunxi came back, he ordered Huang Zicheng to be taken down.
It must be known that Huang Zicheng is not only Dali Siqing, but also has an extraordinary status.
Moreover, vaguely, it seems to have become the head of the civil officials of the imperial court.
Among the government and the opposition, his prestige is extremely high, and many officials follow him first.
Although the contradiction between His Royal Highness Taisun and Huang Zicheng has been keenly perceived by people with a heart.
But the two sides did not tear their faces after all.
In the eyes of many people, with the stabilization of Zhu Yunxi's position as the grandson, the contradictions between the two will gradually ease until they disappear into invisibility.
After all, their contradiction stems from the fact that Zhu Yunxi is not the eldest grandson of the emperor, and Huang Zicheng is unwilling to support him as the prince.
Now the dust has settled.
Zhu Yunxi led the new army to make great contributions, and the position of the prince was completely stable.
Huang Zicheng can't be entangled anymore.
The contradiction between the two naturally no longer exists.
His Royal Highness Taisun will still rely on civil officials to govern the country in the future, and he can turn hostility into jade, which must be something that cannot be desired.
Not only the officials think so, but even Huang Zicheng himself thinks so.
Today.
He finally resigned himself to his fate.
admits that he really can't fight Zhu Yunxi.
Acknowledging the other person's ability is far beyond his expectations.
Although he was unwilling, he could only recognize him as the prince.
In the prince's mansion before, Zhu Yunxi was only the prince's son, not the prince, separated by one floor.
Therefore, the teacher arranged is worse than that of the prince.
Now that he has become a prince, His Majesty has never arranged a teacher to teach him.
If possible, you might be able to get the job.
After all, among civil officials, Huang Zicheng considers himself to be extremely knowledgeable and prestigious.
Although Zhu Yunxi is "stubborn", everything he does can be called shocking, independent and special, and there are many inconsistencies with Confucian etiquette, but his talent and ability are far beyond the world.
Teaching such a disciple made countless scholars in the court excited.
Huang Zicheng also has such a big dream in the spring and autumn.
Thinking that Zhu Yunxi has already offended the military generals and nobles, he will not offend himself again.
It's easy to resolve past grievances.
But I never thought that as soon as the other party came back, he would take himself down?
"His Royal Highness Taisun, what crime did the lower officials commit and want to be taken down?" After Huang Zicheng was caught, he asked loudly.
When he wrote a letter to Xu Dongjiang, the prefect of Jiaxing, he asked himself if he would not be discovered.
As long as Xu Dongjiang is not stupid, after reading the letter, he will definitely destroy it.
What's more, this time Zhu Yunxi returned triumphantly and also brought Xu Dongjiang with him, and he didn't lock him up, that is, there was no accident.
Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly, and was about to speak, when the civil and military officials below were already like fryers.
"His Royal Highness Taisun, Lord Huang is the secretary of Dali Temple, an important minister in the court, and his reputation in the Confucian forest is also very high, I don't know what he has done? Please also ask His Royal Highness Taisun to make it clear! ”
"If Lord Huang really acts as a traitor, it is natural to take it. But the charges are not clear, and I am afraid that the world will not accept it. ”
"Your Royal Highness, Lord Huang is guilty, and he can also wait to return to the court to play His Majesty, hand it over to the ministers for public discussion, and there is a judge, why should you rush to take it down at this time?"
"Today's victory and return to the dynasty is a great joy, and I am afraid it is not good to take people at this time."
"That's right! What crime did Lord Huang commit, His Royal Highness Taisun was so impatient, and he wanted to take people as soon as they met? ”
……
The officials opened their mouths one after another, questioning the prince and asking Huang Zicheng about his crimes, but they all thought that it was inappropriate to take people at this time.
Zhu Yunxi's face gradually sank.
If Lao Zhu is replaced and Huang Zicheng is ordered to be taken down, an official dares to come out and question and ask what is the matter?
There won't be!
Because no one dare!
Even if you have to ask, you have to wait until the fact.
questioned on the spot, this is undoubtedly a provocation to the imperial power.
They still don't take themselves as a prince in their eyes!
At this time, Zhu Yunwen also knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness, Lord Huang's personality, I know it very well, and I am willing to vouch for it." ”
"If he really commits any crime, His Royal Highness Taisun might as well speak up and make it public."
"If there is no big sin, today is another big day for a triumphant return, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Taisun will look at my brother and my thin face, and let him go for the time being."
"In the future, if His Royal Highness Taisun wants to deal with him, I will tie him up and give it to His Royal Highness."
His words, on the surface, sounded polite, but in his bones he had sinister intentions.
Since the Western Han Dynasty proposed to rule the world with "filial piety", filial piety has become the core of feudal etiquette.
Many of the stories in the 24 filial pieties are very brain-dead in the eyes of later generations.
For example, those who eat their parents' feces and urine, bury their own sons, and take the initiative to feed mosquitoes......
In order to show filial piety, he did not hesitate to harm his body and torture his own flesh and blood.
Such perverted behavior is regarded as a guideline.
In such a social environment, if anyone has any unfilial performance, it is the great evil person referred to by Qianfu.
And filial piety to parents and respect for brothers are connected.
Although Zhu Yunxi is the prince, Zhu Yunxi is his brother.
Zhu Yunwen pleaded like this, if Zhu Yunxi did not agree, it would be disrespectful to his brother.
If he agrees, the majesty of his imperial grandson will surely be swept away.
Since the other party has already made a move, of course Zhu Yunxi has to deal with it, he quickly changed his face and said with a smile: "Brother, why do you have to be like this? ”
"Come on, help my brother up!"
Several brocade guards stepped forward and directly pulled Zhu Yunwen up.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes turned to look at Huang Zicheng, immediately changed his face, snorted coldly, and said, "If you dare to bewitch His Royal Highness King Heng, the crime will be added to the first." ”
"Put him in Jinyi Prison and interrogate him severely."
Zhu Yunxi's face changed greatly, and he wanted to rush out and kneel down again to plead and coerce Zhu Yunxi, but he was held down tightly by several brocade guards.
The other officials were still about to open their mouths to ask questions, but they heard Zhu Yunxi's voice sounding faintly.
"You want to ask Gu, what did Huang Zicheng do? What if you don't talk about it? ”
His voice was cold, and his murderous aura had risen.
The civil and military officials present only felt a chill on their bodies.
Of course, Zhu Yunxi can let Xu Dongjiang come out to testify, or he can take out a secret letter and publish the evidence in public.
But if he does that, the majesty of he, the prince, will really not stand.
Lock up a minister, and be forced to publish evidence in public, once this case is opened, in the future, in the court, no matter what decision he makes, the officials will question it, and he must explain it clearly to the officials, so that they are satisfied.
Where is the majesty of the prince?
How does he still govern the country?
Of course, Zhu Yunxi will not announce it.
"Do you think that Lone is a willful and unbearable person, so you question Lone's decision? Or do you think that you are the master of the Ming Dynasty, and Lonely, the prince, must also report the situation to you and listen to your orders? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the officials present suddenly fell silent, knelt on the ground, and did not dare to speak again.
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng have always been good friends, and they are even more nervous at this time.
He had a guess in his heart that Taisun would never take someone for no reason.
I'm afraid that Huang Zicheng wrote a letter to Xu Dongjiang, and the East Window incident happened.
"When Lone left the city that day, it was here that Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, openly blocked the march of the army, questioning that Lone's new army was unbearable to fight, and Lone beheaded it to show the public."
"Okay, I didn't expect Lone to return to the city today, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and he came to question Lone's decision again."
"Lone has to wonder if there is someone in the DPRK who is secretly forming a party for personal gain, and is coming for Lone, the prince."
"Huang Zicheng's case, I want to investigate it carefully and see who is behind it!"
Huang Zicheng is just a representative, a figure who has been pushed to the forefront.
If he wants to reform politics and lead the Ming Dynasty into a new era, what he needs to fight against is the entire feudal etiquette.
Lao Zhu can use Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others as cards to attack the Huaixi Xungong Group behind him.
He can also use the investigation of Huang Zicheng's case as a pretext to clean up all the people who oppose him.
The performance of these people today is exactly what he wants.
After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he no longer glanced at the hundred officials kneeling on the ground, and instructed Jinyi Wei: "Show Huang Zicheng's flail to the public, follow behind the lonely car, and let the people of Beijing take a good look." ”
Then return to the carriage carriage.
"Into town!"
