Chapter 134: General

Next, the news that the ministers heard was like a script.

Zhu Di's face was dark, and he slowly walked to the bottom of the steps: "Back then, because the crown princess gave birth to twins, and Wen Po knew that the matter was big, her hands trembled, so she made a mistake in the birth order of the two children. At that time, I had already made a decree, and Wen Po was afraid that she would be punished, so she united, and at that time, his two palace maids concealed this secret together, and it was only now that the truth was made public. ”

With Zhu Di's narration, the entire Fengtian Hall was quiet.

The civil and military ministers stared, looking at Zhu Di and Zhu Zhangui, listening to this story that can only be found in operas and folk tales.

When Zhu Di finished speaking, everyone fell silent, looking at Zhu Zhangui with complicated eyes, not knowing how to express their opinions on this matter.

"Great, if the second emperor's grandson is the eldest son, then he will take over the position of the crown prince in the future, won't the court be short of money!"

Just when everyone was in thought, a shout of surprise startled everyone.

Some of the annoyed people looked at it when they heard it, and they saw Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, almost grinning at the back of his head, looking at Zhu Di and Zhu Zhangui with excitement.

Zhu Di: "......"

Jungyu: "......"

Civil and military ministers: "......"

This guy has something wrong with his brain, what time is it, and he is still thinking about money.

But then, everyone was stunned.

Xia Yuanji, this guy, really deserves to be the head of the household, no matter what happens, his first reaction is to think about money.

was interrupted by Xia Yuanji, and the atmosphere in the hall eased a lot.

At this time, the ministers seemed to have just reacted, and Yang Shiqi stood up and spoke: "Your Majesty, the matter is serious, and the ministers feel that they should be investigated." ”

As soon as this head came out, other ministers came out one after another to express their positions.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the country, and it is the foundation of the inheritance of the dynasty, whether this matter is a rumor or true, we must find out everything clearly, and give an explanation to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world."

Zhu Di nodded solemnly.

"What you Aiqing said is reasonable, it just so happens that everyone is here today, so let's make things clear."

Let's say it, Zhu Di ordered to the guards outside the door: "Go to the imperial dining room, bring the two maids over, and in addition, call the crown princess too, she is the mother of the child, maybe there are any clues." ”

During the waiting time, many people looked at Zhu Zhangui with complicated expressions.

This kind of news, which is comparable to rumors, is also very important, and they naturally don't believe it.

The only possibility is that His Majesty likes Zhu Zhangui too much, so he thought of this solution.

Zhu Zhangui, as one of the parties involved, glanced at the old man strangely and suddenly realized.

The old man wants to inherit the unification in a justifiable manner, and he doesn't want to let himself and Zhu Zhanji fall out in the future because of the size of the relationship, or even meet each other directly.

Soon, two elderly female officers were escorted in.

followed by the crown princess Zhang, who did not change her court clothes.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty St. Jin'an!"

When talking to the prince before, these two people didn't quite agree, looking at the princess's expression at the moment, he was a little dissatisfied, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and at this moment he also forced the princess to stand in line, he sighed:

"Get up, you should know about it, right?" Zhang pursed his lips and nodded.

"You are the mother of the child, when you gave birth, Wen Po should have told you about the characteristics of the child, do you still remember it?"

Zhang looked at Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui also looked at Zhang with an expectant expression.

The two made quick eye contact.

At this moment, Zhang really wanted to talk to Zhu Zhangui.

After all, what she did was to blatantly help him replace his eldest brother's position as crown prince.

Seeing his son's expression, he found that Zhu Zhangui had a funny expression, as if to say, as long as my eldest brother has no opinion, I guarantee that he will be safe and sound for the rest of his life. Zhang sighed, I hope you can do what you say, otherwise, my mother will never forgive you in this life.

After a brief eye contact between the mother and son, Zhang looked at Zhu Di and nodded: "After the two children were born, Wen Po did tell me about the characteristics of the two. Later, when the emperor held Zhanji and set a grandson, I felt as if I had made a mistake. ”

"Later, I confirmed with Wen Po, and she promised with her life that she was not wrong, saying that the reason why I felt that way was because I had hallucinations due to my postpartum weakness and heard them wrong."

"In addition, at that time, our family did not have the current status, I thought that even if it was wrong, it would be the same for whoever is older and who is small, but then so many things happened, even if my daughter-in-law wanted to say it, she didn't dare to say it."

After listening to the narration of the crown princess Zhang, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty nodded in understanding.

If Zhu Di is still the king of Yan, then in terms of family inheritance, there is not as fierce competition between princes.

Even if Zhu Zhanji inherits the throne of King Yan, Zhu Zhangui, as the second son, may be crowned a prince according to the royal rules.

Although it is just an ordinary prince, the gap will not be too big.

But between princes, it's different.

There is a world of difference between the eldest and the second.

As long as the boss is good enough and doesn't make any big mistakes, the succession to the throne is ironclad.

And if the second child has an idea, before the boss dies in an accident, there is no other choice but to rebel.

So everyone can understand why the crown princess didn't mention it again later.

Zhu Di pointed at Zhang's and wanted to say a few words, but seeing his sad appearance, he could only wave his hand helplessly, and let Zhu Fatpang take Zhang's aside first.

After Zhang was pulled aside by Zhu Fatpang, Zhu Di looked at the two female officials kneeling on the ground with a cold face.

"What else do you have to say?"

This sentence was addressed to the two female officials on the ground.

As long as the two of them are eliminated, this matter will be considered dusty.

The two female officials, who have been dressed in the palace for many years, have already understood that the two of them are just scapegoats.

But before, Zhu Di used his thunderous means to buy these two female officials.

Their faces were now as dead as ashes, their eyes were dark, and they said, "We don't have much more to say. ”

"Then the rod will be killed! Changing the crown prince is a big crime! ”

The guard stepped forward and dragged the two of them out, the female officer closed her eyes in resignation, with a relieved expression on her face, gritted her teeth, and soon the two gradually lost their vitality, and blood flowed from their mouths.

The guards who dragged the two of them, as if blind, did not notice the fact that the two of them were dead,

After reaching a certain distance, the execution begins.

Above the court, the civil and military officials were silent, waiting for Zhu Di's decision.

In fact, this set of plays is just for everyone to see, who is the grandson of the emperor depends on Zhu Di's decision.

As long as Zhu Di opens his mouth, whether it is true or not, he says that whoever is the grandson of the emperor will be the crown prince in the future.

And Zhu Di seems to be difficult to decide.

He sat in a wheelchair, his hand on his forehead, and was silent for a long time.

Above the court, no one spoke, only the sound of breathing,

At this moment, Zhu Zhangui was a little nervous.

To be honest, he has no bottom in his heart, old man, after all, he is an old fox, and he usually doesn't like to put too much hope on him

In others, what the old man says and does decides what measures he will take to deal with it.

Of course, if you take him as the grandson of the emperor, the road will be easier, otherwise, you are destined to find a more difficult road.

He already has two plans, not only to become a grandson, but even if it doesn't work out, he will take that path.

Although with the current probability, the probability of becoming the boss is very high, but he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, the entanglement is not fake, he actually does not dare to say, whether the old man will make a temporary decision to make himself the minister of the humerus, assist Zhu Zhanji, and the two of them are brothers.

There is no way, in fact, the people of the old Zhu family are idealists, Zhu Yuanzhang is like this, and Zhu Di is also like this.

Yongle Grand Ceremony, Zheng He went to the West and moved the capital......

One by one, he did it all by himself,

Other emperors may have done one thing better, and the Northern Expedition was also proposed by him, his idea was to do everything while he was alive, so that future generations could enjoy it.

This kind of person tends to be more changeable, and when things are not completely decided, there may be a lot of thoughts in their hearts, replacing the previous idea.

In this way, under the expectation of Zhu Zhangui's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhu Di stood up and said,

"I like Zhu Zhanji very much, I have taken him with me since I was a child, and I have been working hard to cultivate him, hoping that he can become a qualified successor, and he lives up to expectations, strives for perfection in everything he does, and wholeheartedly, and the results are more satisfactory to me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhangui was stunned, is the old man going to change his mind?

"But,"

As soon as this came out, Zhu Zhangui was instantly ecstatic, as we all know, this time means that he has stabilized.

"The law of the ancestors cannot be violated, and the descendants will grow! Even if I personally like Zhu Zhanji, I can't go against the ancestral teachings. ”

Zhu Zhangui showed a dusty smile at this time, in addition to him, the happiest is the Hubu Shangshu, this kid is the grandson, with his amazing earning ability, the treasury must be sufficient!

However, apart from him, there were many civil and military officials who frowned.

Zhu Zhangui didn't have much contact with them, but judging from his behavior, five years ago, how old was he? followed Zheng He to the West, which shows that this person is a warmonger and a cruel and ruthless person.

Is it really suitable to be the master of Daming?

For the two of them, the civil official still prefers Zhu Zhanji.

After all, Zhu Zhanji has a gentle temperament and a gentleman's demeanor, although it is said that Zhu Zhangui is more likely to make money, but being an emperor is not a business.

But they also all know that they can't stand up at the moment, and if they stand up, they will definitely be cleansed.

They can only hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can see if this prince can stand up, refute Zhu Di, and let Zhu Di think about it again.

Yang Shiqi, at the very beginning, stood up, and now he is also constantly transmitting signals to the prince, but he saw that the prince looked lost and depressed, and he didn't want to stand up, somehow, he suddenly had a strange idea in his heart.

Could it be that what happened during this time has something to do with these two people?

Some time ago, Zhu Zhanji's teacher Yao Guangxiao died suddenly, and the two female officials who died today are actually not very right.

I also heard that the second emperor's grandson has recently mastered the military aircraft battalion, and in comparison, Zhu Zhanji has hardly made any achievements so far.

Could it be that all this was planned by Zhu Di himself today?

In order to change the identities of the two people, so that Zhu Zhangui, who he is optimistic about, can ascend the throne smoothly?

Thinking of this, Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Di fiercely.

The old man noticed his eyes and understood, he might have guessed something, and gave him a warning.

Yang Shiqi's heart was on fire, and he was about to stand up and shout out Zhu Di's conspiracy.

But he was held back by the civil officials behind him.

At this moment, the edict announcing the restoration of Zhu Zhangui's identity has been issued, and everyone is silent until Zhu Fatpang is the first to stand up, thank you,

With his movements, the civil and military officials one after another, arched their hands and shouted: "The emperor is wise!" ”

With the celebration of nearly 100 people, the dust has settled at this time.

Zhu Zhanji, I'm afraid I don't know, after a meeting that he didn't attend, his position as crown prince will be gone.

After the court meeting was dispersed, the civil and military officials were in a complicated mood, although they were happy that the prince had regained real power, but they were afraid that Zhu Zhangui would not conform to the image of the Ming monarch in their hearts, if Zhu Zhangui was a warlike and brutal emperor, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't stand it, but they didn't dare to clearly object, because everyone knew the emperor's character, the Battle of Jingjing, is a good example, they can't think of going, looking for death?

To tell the truth, there are groups of wives and concubines, high-ranking officials, isn't this kind of day fragrant?

In order to express your anger and let yourself lose your head, this is something that only fools do.

As for who the crown prince is, to be honest, it doesn't have much to do with them.

It's a big deal, the crown prince will ascend the throne later, if there is anything, Zhu Zhanji will be lifted up for him when the time comes.

Ordinary ministers can think like this, let alone Yang Shiqi.

He was about to openly oppose it in the court just now, but was stopped by others, and after the court meeting, the three of them entered a secret room, and he was angry: "What did you two hold me just now? There's clearly something wrong with things.! ”

Yang Rong was helpless: "Do you think the two of us didn't see it?" The emperor has decided, the crown prince and princess have no objections, you jumped out at this time, are you thinking of going to prison for a year and a half? ”

Yang Shiqi was silent when he heard this, then raised his head and accused with questioning eyes: "Then you two, who do you think is more suitable to inherit the throne?" ”

The two fell silent until Yang Pu spoke: "I personally admire Zhu Zhangui,"

Saying this, the other two people looked at him in shock, as if to say: Are you making me laugh? In order to persuade Yang Shiqi, this kind of thing can be said,

Yang Pu smiled: "Actually, I have something here, once, Zheng He told me that he quarreled with Zhu Zhangui, quarreled for a long, long time, and finally found out that the emperor and grandson were wrong."

Guess what? ”

"That must be pretending that nothing happened!"
