The one hundred and seventy-ninth Episode of the Audience with Yuanzhang
I saw Cao Jing'an, the head of the brocade guard, and Li Shanchang, the Korean duke, waving at each other, muttering a few words, and then walked up to the main hall together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gu Xiaonan looked at Cao Jing'an and Han Gong and said to Xuan Ming: "These two traitors are also here to join in the fun, I don't know what tricks they want to play?"
Xuan Ming also looked at the backs of Cao Jing'an and Han Gong, lowered his head and said silently: "There must be nothing good." ”
Gu Xiaonan smiled: "Hehe! Stuffy gourd! is always so pessimistic." ”
At this time, on the top of the Jinluan Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat majestically on the dragon chair in an ochre yellow dragon robe, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, two coiled dragons inlaid with the dragon crown on both sides, the eunuch Du Andao served beside Zhu Yuanzhang, and above the main hall below, Prince Yunwen stood on one side, and on the other side stood the third prince King Jin, the fourth prince Yan Wang, the fifth prince Wu Wang, the sixth prince Chu Wang, the seventh prince Qi Wang, the eighth prince Tan Wang, the tenth prince Lu Wang, and Jingjiang Wang.
Among the many princes, at this moment, except for Zhu Di, the king of Yan, almost all the other princes are sincerely afraid, walking on thin ice, for fear that their father Emperor Yuanzhang will be dissatisfied with them even a little, so they dare not make mistakes when they speak modestly. And King Yan and Prince Yun Wei looked at each other, knowing that only they were true allies, and observed the emperor's movements together.
At this moment, Cao Jing'an, the head of the brocade guard, and the Korean prince swaggered up to the main hall, came to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said together: "The minister sees the emperor!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Cao Jing'an and Li Shanchang, and said, "Two Aiqing! You are here just in time, I am summoning all the emperors to discuss the prince's funeral, do you have anything to do?"
Han Gong looked at Cao Jing'an, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the minister and Lord Cao today rectified the imperial forest army and the forbidden army, strengthened the defense of the capital, and found that many martial arts people from the entire capital gathered in Jinlingfang, it is really suspicious? The minister learned that on the sixth day of the first month of this month, these martial arts people will hold a demon slaying conference in Zhongshan, I don't know who issued heroic posts to the various sects in the rivers and lakes, and the ministers have taken strict precautions, and hereby report this matter to the emperor. ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Oh, there will be such a thing? Then can Li Aiqing and Cao Aiqing have a countermeasure? Has the matter been clarified?"
Han Gong continued: "The ministers are already secretly monitoring the Jinling Fang, and Zhongshan has also been deployed, which will definitely ensure the smooth progress of Prince Yiwen's funeral, please rest assured." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Well, just do what Li Aiqing wants, at present, our top priority is the period of the prince's funeral, can we be ready?" As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang asked about this, everyone was very cautious. And only King Yan and Prince Yunwen were staring at Li Shanchang and Cao Jing'an.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always valued the character of the prince the most, in fact, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is very much like the majestic and upright emperor in front of him, when the king of Yan used to be in the capital, he often talked about state affairs with his father and the emperor freely, and his words were unscrupulous and unrestrained, and often many views coincided with the emperor and won the emperor's love. It can be said that in the eyes of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is the shadow of his youth, which always makes Zhu Yuanzhang, who now has the throne, envious, if it weren't for the deep-rooted feudal concept of the eldest son Zhu Biao, it is difficult to convince the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang He would have wanted to make him the prince a long time ago. But in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang thought twice and set up his eldest son Zhu Biao as the crown prince, but who would have thought that this Zhu Biao was indeed not the best candidate for Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the end he ended up like this.
At this moment, I saw that the old eunuch Du Andao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then at the princes, walked to the front of the palace and shouted loudly: "Princes! Today, the emperor summoned you for the upcoming funeral of Prince Yiwen, and I invite you to enter Beijing to discuss relevant matters." Please take the state affairs as the greatest, and give a great gift to Prince Yiwen's funeral. ”
As soon as Du Andao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on the throne of Jinluan, and said sharply: "Everyone, Prince Yiwen is driving, it is really a bad state affair, and I specially summoned you emperors to Beijing to discuss important matters!" At this time, Prince Yunwen said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandpa Qiqi! The grandson has made all the arrangements for his father, and all the funeral items and gold and silver utensils have been prepared properly. ”
When the old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Yunwen say this, he was very pleased, and hurriedly gave Yunwen a seat aside; the state affairs of the old emperor's royal family have more rules of etiquette and religion, to avoid violating etiquette, and there is an order of audience on formal occasions; even if other princes are deeply loved by the old emperor, they must also have the number and order of the audience, and they must follow the number of rites, so today's Prince Yunwen was given a seat, which shows the status of this Prince Yunwen in the mind of the old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. King Yan and everyone have seen all this.
The other princes did not dare to have any objections, and when King Yan saw such a scene, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Enlighten the emperor!
Du Andao looked at King Yan and then at Zhu Yuanzhang, as if no one had reported the best, for fear that someone would ask questions and annoy Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and looked at King Yan and said, "King Yan, what is the matter with you?"
King Yan looked at Han Gong and Cao Jing'an and said, "Father, the emperor, the son wants to ask Lord Cao, the head of the Jinyi Guard, a few things in front of you?
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that King Yan was going to question Cao Jing'an, and it was not easy to refuse, so he said patiently: "King Yan!
King Yan looked at Cao Jing'an and Li Shanchang, and said, "May I ask Lord Cao, why did you send someone to the East Street Post House last night to assassinate this king?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was immediately shocked and said, "Well, what? Is this true? Cao Jing'an?"
Cao Jing'an looked at King Yan, without the slightest hint of panic, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, how is this possible? This is a misunderstanding! Presumably, it should be the misunderstanding caused by the ministers who sent people out to track down the Yueyangmen people who strayed into the East Street Post House last night, and there are too many idle people from various sects and factions in the martial arts who have come to the capital recently, in order to maintain the security of the capital, the ministers stick to it day and night, for fear that something will go wrong on the sixth day of the first month of this month. ”
King Yan looked at Cao Jing'an and said with a smile: "Hehe! Lord Cao really knows how to round the field? Then this is a misunderstanding, how do you explain that King Qin was locked up in a prison by you?" )
