The three eunuchs of Shangshanjian, Chen Xiang, Admiral Wang Qin, and Superintendent Jin Xing, received instructions and began to serve wine and food.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Chen Xiang and the others coldly, his younger brother was really cautious when he arrived home, and even the Shangshan Supervisor was changed to the three eunuchs who were in charge together. If you want to poison again, the difficulty can be multiplied.

Unexpectedly, something even more annoying happened: I saw that Lin Xiangyu didn't care about the royal dignity at all, and took out two jade cups, two leather pots, and two small oiled paper bags from his pocket.

Lin Xiangyu put the food and drink she brought on the imperial case, which caused many people to be dissatisfied.

In the past, the emperor's foundation was unstable, and everyone recognized it if he was so cautious. Now that the entire inner court is under the control of the emperor, it is really too much to guard against the emperor and the civil and military officials like a thief every day.

The disgruntled ministers made eye contact with each other, and then Li Shimian, the priest of the country, stood up, and said in the prelude to the king:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Princess Qi's move is inappropriate. This is a banquet of the imperial court, how can there be a reason to bring your own wine and food, and today there are also foreign envoys here, this spread to foreign countries, what kind of system has it become, and it will not be laughed at all over the world?

And Mencius said: The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart;

The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman;

The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy.

Now His Majesty regards his ministers as if he were enemies, and the ministers don't know how His Majesty expects his ministers to treat the king? ”

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and before he could reply, Liao Zhuang, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, also stood up and started a round for Li Shimian:

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that Li Xianjiu's words were wrong, and His Majesty did not regard the ministers as enemies, but the princess of Qi made her own opinion.

And on such a major occasion, the princess should not sit at the same table with the emperor. His Majesty is requested to punish the princess for misconduct and expel her from the main seat. ”

"Hahaha, well said, worthy of being a Jinshi of the Xuande Dynasty, in the end, he is old and serious. Dare to ask Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but is there any other reason to teach the widow? ”

Liao Zhuang was also really courageous, and when he saw the emperor inquiring, he played the anti-ear advice that had been hidden in his chest for a long time and did not vomit or be unhappy to the king:

"The minister does not dare to ask His Majesty for advice, the minister is in the court, see Gong let the emperor send an envoy to canonize His Majesty, every festival, will make the ministers to pay homage to the East, the courtesy is long, the ministers are sighing, saying that Gong let the emperor brother love so.

Today, His Majesty is in the world to respect the emperor, and is willing to see the Nangong from time to time, or explain the family law, or discuss the way of governance, and meet the ministers in the new year, so as to comfort the emperor's heart. The ancestors are at peace in the heavens, and the hearts of heaven and earth are also at peace.

The crown prince is the foundation of the world. Gong let the emperor's son, His Majesty's son also. It is advisable to order the pro-Confucian ministers to study the book policy, so as to show the virtue of the prince, so that the subjects of the world know that His Majesty has the heart of the world, isn't it beautiful?

Those who cover the world, the world of Taizu and Taizong; Renzong and Xuanzong succeeded to the body, and this world is also.

Gong let the emperor go north, but also for this world.

Now Your Majesty caress and has, it is advisable to remember the difficulties of the ancestors to start a business, thinking that it belongs to the hearts of the people of the world, that is, the way to fight disasters and summon auspiciousness is nothing more than this.

The minister's heartfelt words also hope that His Majesty will accept it. ”

Zhu Qiyu listened with a smile on his face, and said to the hundred officials: "Liao Aiqing said very well, and he is really honest and sincere in seeking the country. Put it in tomorrow's newspapers, and let all the people of the world read it.

Our Ministry of Rites happens to be short of a right waiter, so Liao Aiqing will take over. I hope Aiqing can correct the etiquette for the court and stabilize the world. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu stood up with Lin Xiangyu and continued to add: "But bring your own wine, it is the widow who insists on it, and it has nothing to do with Princess Qi."

As for Princess Qi not sitting in the main seat, Aiqing is reasonable. Today is the eldest brother's Halloween Day, and I will only attend as my younger brother King Qi.

According to the principle of Aiqing's teaching of widows, it is most appropriate for widows to attend as kings.

However, the king of the king is really bad, it was the act of Sanyang chaotic government, bewitching the eldest brother, and dividing our brother's feelings.

The name of the king is despised by the widow, and I don't want to damage the holiness of the eldest brother by adultery, so the princess and I can sit in the east as the king of Qi and the princess of Qi. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu turned around and signaled, Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Chen Lin, Huang Qi and others stepped forward in person and moved the table to the west side of the next head.

The crown prince was carried back to Queen Zhou, while Zhu Qiyu and Lin Xiangyu sat on the west side of the next head, facing the screen made by Yang Xun.

This scene is embarrassing, which is in response to Li Shimian's words just now: You don't take me as your monarch, and I don't take you as my courtier.

Liao Zhuang originally had the determination to die, and wanted to win back a game in public opinion for Gong to let the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor took the initiative to retreat, like a loach, and slipped out of the trap set by Liao Zhuang.

Things are going completely different from what was expected, and there is nothing to do in Liao Zhuang now: the little mistake of bringing his own wine and food, the emperor recognized his head, what else can he do, a minister, he can't be unforgiving because of such a trivial matter, he has to kill the emperor, right?

Princess Qi should not sit in the main seat? There is no problem, the emperor, as the king of Qi, took the princess to sit down. Everyone has nothing to say now, right?

As for asking the emperor to respect the emperor and treat the prince well, the emperor also agreed.

After the emperor operated like this, people had nowhere to eat.

Liao Zhuang had no choice but to bow and bow, and then retreated. When he returned to his seat, Liao Zhuang looked around a little, and he could feel that many civil and military officials were glaring at him.

Especially on the side of Xungui and the generals, if it weren't for An Guogong and Wudinghou who tried their best to suppress them, there would even be generals who wanted to rush over and make a move.

After sending Liao Zhuang away, Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Shimian and sneered: "Li sacrificial wine, a while ago, the Hanlin attendant said that Master Liu presented the "Record" and annotations of Renmiao to the widow.

The widow has read it, but there are a few words that I don't understand, I don't know if Li Xijiu is willing to teach the widow? ”

Li Shimian replied: "Don't dare, the minister must know everything." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, very good." The last volume of Renmiao's "Actual Records" reads like this:

Ji Mao, in the Hanlin Academy, Li Shimian, and Luo Rujing, the waiter, were all words and deeds, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was in charge of supervising the imperial history.

At night, Venus commits ghosts, and there are stars as big as chickens, red in color, and see cows.

Gengchen, Shang Buhe, summoned Shangshu Jianyi, university scholars Yang Shiqi, Huang Huai, Yang Rong to Sishanmen, and ordered Shiqishu to send Zhongguan Hai Shouchi to summon the crown prince.

Xin Si, the illness is gradual, and the crown prince is passed on to the world.

The widow dared to ask Li Xijiu, what did you and Renmiao say?

There is no record of any illness in Renmiao, why is it that as soon as you summon your old man, Renmiao immediately hesitated, and the illness gradually became serious?

Your old man is so powerful, the widow doesn't dare not bring his own food and drink. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the audience was in an uproar. Although the emperor has been cautious since the Tumubao Rebellion, he has always brought his own food and drink on all occasions.

But this is definitely the first time that Wenchen has been publicly accused.

The last time the emperor publicly accused Yang Hong, the military general. At that time, the emperor directly called Yang Hong the envoy of Xuanfu Festival and King Yang, and almost said that he had rebelled.

When Li Xijiu heard the emperor's accusation against him, he immediately knelt on the ground and complained with tears: "Why did Your Majesty say this, Renmiao is just a normal summons, and the minister and Luo Rujing are just playing against each other normally."

Why did Your Majesty make such heart-wrenching words? ”

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, got up and arched his hand to Zhu Qizhen and asked: "Eldest brother, my brother has read the secret history of the inner court, which records:

'Ren Temple gradually, Xia Yuanji said: Shi Mian should be humiliated.

The words have been said, the face of the sky has changed greatly, and Renmiao is furious and wants to be punished.

Xia Yuanji said: Shi Mian's words can damage the sainthood, may Your Majesty be less powerful and convicted.

Ren Temple from it, the night, the emperor collapsed. ’

The foolish brother didn't understand, what could make Renmiao angry like this. Our two brothers, as the grandsons of Renmiao, occupy the throne of the emperor but do not investigate in detail, isn't it a great unfilial piety?

If you don't investigate in detail, my brother is afraid that the subjects of the world will be uneasy, thinking that Renmiao is a traitor. Even if Renmiao is indeed a sudden serious illness, it should be investigated in detail to clear the suspicion.

The eldest brother is the elder, how to distinguish it, please also ask the eldest brother to show it. ”

Zhu Qiyu's words set Zhu Qizhen up.

If Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and left the matter as it is, the hat of Renmiao's unfilial piety would be immediately deducted.

And in Zhu Qiyu's words, he faintly accused Xuanmiao of being unfilial: Renmiao's death is so unclear, you don't check, you don't ask, just let it go so lightly?

Is this because you're too stupid, or do you just don't care about Renmiao's life or death? Or even if you are simply optimistic about the death of Renmiao?

In the face of Zhu Qiyu's various accusations, Zhu Qizhen was forced to make the most secure response in a short period of time: "Li Shimian is indeed suspicious, and he is now being investigated by Jinyi Prison." ”
