Prince Rui’s guess was correct, the news had indeed reached the East Palace, and the prince was very happy at the moment.
Zhu Jinghong ends up personally, and it will be up to him to see how Lao Liu will fight. The more intense the fight between the two, the greater his benefits will be.
Unlike everyone in the East Palace who was happy, Xu Xinan had other ideas.
Everyone felt that they should sit back and watch the fight, but Xu Xinan felt that the prince should do something, such as taking the initiative to quell the dispute.
The prince is always the prince, and everything should focus on the overall situation. This is the right and upright way.
So after everyone retreated, Xu Xinan approached Zhu Jingyuan and explained his thoughts to him.
"I hope your majesty will still be as happy as usual!" Wang Pei'an thought this way.
"Your Highness, think about it...even if Prince Xiang is willing to sink the cauldron, does Prince Rui have the intention to destroy the fish and the net?"
Two days ago, he had clearly reminded the emperor that for the sake of To maintain the image of the Ming Dynasty, we cannot convict the imperial guards and the Beijing camp.
Wang Pei'an saw this very clearly. In comparison, Xu Xueshi in the East Palace had a small structure, and he did not even grasp the main contradiction of the current problem.
The queen's scolding was particularly harsh, and Baochai could only lower his head and listen quietly.
Just because there are three times more guards on duty in the school grounds in front of Longwu Hall today than before, and all of them look solemn.
To put it bluntly, more than 30 generals were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned, which was a big change for the guards and the Beijing camp. It is impossible for this kind of thing to be handled as a bullshit case.
Zhongshu, who was on duty, replied: "In the Longwu Hall next door, a group of generals were gathered together. I heard they were going to play polo!"
It was foreseeable that she would be treated badly. After returning to the palace, it was inevitable to vent his anger on Zhu Jingyuan.
The more I think about Zhu Jinghong, the more I think this is the case. After all, these people who were dismissed are all his supporters, Zhu Jinghong.
Holding Baochai's hand, Zhu Jinghong said: "It doesn't matter whether we live or die, but we can't let Zhen'er and the others suffer, so we can only win..."
Then pop up A new question arises, why would the emperor be happy to see the result?
Why?
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but laugh.
In the cabinet duty room, Chief Assistant Zhao Yushan read the memorial handed over by the Secretary of General Affairs. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh.
But he thought about it over and over, but he had no clue at all.
Because in the final analysis, Zhu Jinghong’s behavior this morning was to bind himself to the generals, and to use his reputation as a guard of the pro-army and the Beijing camp to intimidate the Metropolitan Procuratorate...
< p>When the sun was setting in the west, a group of guards came to Prince Xiang's Mansion and conveyed the emperor's summons.Zhu Jinghong said with a smile on his face: "If you, sir, are here as a guest, of course I will welcome you, but if you are here for official business, I will forgive you for not accompanying me!"
Let's talk about the palace. Within a few days, the news had reached Kunning Palace, which made the queen very angry.
Chen Zhi knelt down without hesitation, ready to listen to the scolding.
Zhu Jinghong was also very straightforward and refused the queen's summons on the grounds that he was guilty and had no face to face.
Wang Pei'an was not in a hurry to leave, and reminded him very sincerely: "Your Majesty, you know that today's actions may make your Majesty angry!"
Prince Xiang's Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, almost isolating the inside and outside. Contact, Zhu Jinghong put on a posture to accept trial.
Xu Xinan sighed: "It's just his bad luck!"
"To be honest... If you are really deposed, we can't be an ordinary couple." So tired now!" Baochai said optimistically.
On the contrary, Zhu Jinghong did not panic at all. He said goodbye to everyone in the palace with a smile, and followed the guards into the palace.
Invincible in every battle, Zhu Jinghong's prestige in the army is too high now, and he has indeed posed a threat to the emperor, so it is normal to think of weakening him.
"Your Highness, please!"
As a result, the situation changed. Some people supported the questioning remarks, while others supported Zhang Rulin's interrogation.
"I hope so!" Baochai sighed.
The situation was different today after all, so Zhu Jinghong stayed where he was and watched the people galloping around not far away.
"Settling this matter? Wouldn't it be a pity to do this?" Zhu Jingyuan was unwilling.
Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan was a little confused, so he asked: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
But this incident made him see something different, so Now he was looking forward to the emperor's reaction.
"The superior asked me to come here and ask me to return His Highness's crown and hat!"
However, he only had this way.
After following for a while, Zhu Jinghong found that he had guessed correctly, and he was indeed in Longwu Hall just like last time.
"We can have someone come forward and point out that the evidence in Zhang Rulin's trial is insufficient and cannot be used as evidence of conviction..."
What does the old man mean by this? Are you gathering all these people together just to show me?
I thought to myself that time was passing so fast. When half an hour passed, the sun had already set on the palace wall in the distance.
Sure enough, it stabbed the old man in the heart... Zhu Jinghong secretly guessed.
This time, Zhu Jinghong was fighting against the emperor. From this point of view, he was indeed a little impulsive.
For Zhang Rulin to detain so many generals without enough evidence, Zhang Rulin's crime is not light.
At this moment, he was very sad, thinking that Zhu Jinghong was about to fall, and this would be a loss for the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the evidence in the case is sufficient, the emperor still has to consider the impact on the army and his own control over the army.
Things changed so fast that it was dizzying. Before Zhu Jingyuan could figure out how to deal with Zhu Jinghong, he had to discuss with his confidants how to fight against the prince.
"Your Highness, Prince Rui and Prince Xiang may all hope that the evidence is wrong now!"
Zhu Jingyuan continued to nod while thinking about what he should do.
With a few words of emotion, Wang Peian could only choose to leave, and thought about what he could do to help Zhu Jinghong survive the crisis.
After saying that, Zhu Jinghong stood up and left. Even if Wang Peian wanted to stay and perform a one-man show by himself, there was nothing he could do.
After entering Donghua Gate, Zhu Jinghong thought he was going to Qianqing Palace, but was taken directly north by the eunuch.
Looking at the firm-looking wife in front of him, his heart was wrapped in a strong sense of happiness, and then he showed a knowing smile.
"The sixth daughter-in-law..."
Now it seems that Zhu Jinghong thinks that he has initially completed his idea. In addition, he and the emperor do have a father-son relationship, and there is also the queen. The insurance is there, so he doesn't think he will lose.
"Your Highness..."
Looking at Wang Pei'an, Zhu Jinghong said seriously, ""Sir... if they are guilty, I am indeed at fault, and it is natural to be punished!" ”
After all, in addition to him, there are also Prince Rui and the Crown Prince to make choices. Once people’s hearts change, things will be chaotic.
He tried his best to keep the fire in the southeast, northwest, and then transformed into a fire fighter. The captain went around putting out fires in order to make himself irreplaceable in the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Jinghong approached, Cheng Ying took the initiative to greet him and said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment! "
"Dad, drink tea! "Zhu Jinghong said with his waist raised.
Although Baochai is smart, she is still a woman. After being silent for a while, he looked at Zhu Jinghong and said: "Now... go into the palace and follow the emperor before he asks the question. The queen admits her mistake and there is still room for redemption! ”
“Why are you here, sir?” "
It is indeed unusual for the guards to come to invite you, which casts a further gloom on Baochai's heart.
"You think I don't know, you are the one who started the matter. You two are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos..."
In the afternoon, under the operation of the East Palace, a member of the Criminal Division went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and publicly questioned Zhang Rulin's interrogation process. .
The only person in the world who can be called Mr. Zhu Jinghong is Wang Pei'an, the censor of the capital, and his boss is the deputy censor. , but it may also be what the censor meant.
If the evidence is insufficient, the generals cannot be convicted. Of course, Zhu Jinghong is not guilty, and the matter is settled here.
She had heard Zhu Jinghong's analysis, so she knew that this time was different from the past, and the direction of the situation was difficult to control. This feeling of unpredictable fortunes was very uncomfortable.
Zhu Jinghong turned around and smiled slightly. He raised his head and met the emperor's cold gaze.
When Zhu Jinghong came closer, he finally saw who was accompanying him.
Before Wang Pei'an finished speaking. , Zhu Jinghong interrupted: "Sir, go back, in a few days when the peace is better, I have to ask you to teach me the Analects of Confucius!" ”
After scolding Zhu Jinghong a few words, Yang QingYin looked at Baochai again and reprimanded: "How many times have I told you? I asked you to correct his shortcomings. I'm afraid you turned a deaf ear. Now he is getting more and more..."
Zhu Jinghong made a guess after thinking about it for a moment, thinking that it was probably for him.
"Of course not... but the chess piece of me, Zhu Jinghong, the old man can no longer abandon!"
Of course she knows that once her family is defeated this time, even if there is no peace in the Orthodox Dynasty, Things will never be easy in the new dynasty.
As he approached Longwumen, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from inside, which made him feel even more strange.
After reading it, he pushed the memorial to the bottom and was not in a hurry to draw up the votes.
As for Chen Zhi, she stood respectfully aside, feeling happy but with a solemn expression.
But in the past two or three days, more than thirty generals involved in the case have all been convicted, but the emperor has not said a word about this. The situation is very wrong.
"In this case, that Zhang Rulin..."
In other words, if so many people have to be moved at once, the nature of the matter will be different. As an emperor, you should also be vigilant. That's it.
Zhang Rulin is indeed very rigorous, but he cannot stand up to other people's faults, so he was really picked on by the person from the criminal department.
At this moment, there was thunderous sound of horse hooves in the arena, and the emperor's ocher-yellow color stood out among the many people in the arena.
Could it be that he is in Longwu Hall again?
"Since they can't both lose, why don't His Highness step in to mediate... By giving them a step down, the grudges between the two houses will be healed, and the Holy One will think more highly of His Highness!"
Looking at the emperor approaching, Zhu Jinghong picked up the tea cup from the coffee table and trotted towards the emperor.
"Tianjia...Tianjia!"
In the end, he was confused, so he could only ask Xu Xinan: "Please teach me, sir!"
However, the emperor bypassed him and sat on the chair behind him.
Chen Zhi also wanted to say goodbye and leave, but she was left behind by the queen.
Wang Peian could clearly see the pattern, and Zhao Yushan certainly understood it too.
Unexpectedly, Baochai said seriously: "As long as I am with my husband, even if I die... I am willing to accompany you!"
During the trial of the case, these questions were raised by Shen Jinxun. Others have already mentioned it, but their influence on public opinion is almost zero, so they didn't stir up any waves at all.
After serving as the first assistant for several years, Zhao Yushan completed the layout of the dynasty, and was basically able to suppress the second assistant Chen Jinyun, and was able to flex his muscles and exert his authority.
"If we really lose, when Lao Liu takes over, I'm afraid you and I will not be able to live in peace, and you will have a hard life by then!" Zhu Jinghong joked.
"Mother, please give me your orders!" Chen Zhi responded quickly.
The queen scolded Baochai for a while, then asked Baochai to return home quickly and asked her to call Zhu Jinghong into the palace.
Xu Xinan had to say clearly: "Your Highness, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.That's good, but King Rui may not let us fishermen benefit! ”
When he entered Longwu Gate, he discovered more different situations.
Yang Qingyin was so angry that she slammed the table, while Baochai knelt down in front of the phoenix throne. She had been prepared for this situation before entering the palace.
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong's heart trembled.
Besides, Zhu Jinghong didn't wait even half an hour before returning to the palace. Then the first person appeared in front of him.
Zhu Jinghong certainly knew that his behavior today was very unqualified, and could even be said to be threatening the emperor.
But the name was different. He is a fighter among officials, so of course people will listen to his questions in public.
"What are you doing, Your Majesty?" "Zhao Yushan asked and wrote to the door.
"Yu Hai, see you off! ”
There are the guards and commanders of the pro-army forces in Beijing, the general soldiers of each battalion and the commanders of the guards left behind in the Beijing camp. To put it simply, all the senior and powerful generals in Beijing are here.
Finally The key thing is that after questioning, this person submitted the impeachment notice to the General Affairs Department, directly pushing Zhang Rulin to the forefront.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong could not tell Wang Pei'an about the above ideas.
p>As a result, Chen Zhi also suffered from a violent storm, and she was as helpless as a duckweed.
To put it simply, the prince and Prince Rui were fighting. A major party dispute began to brew, and a larger-scale scolding battle was about to come.
At noon, Baochai returned to the house and conveyed the queen's instructions.
To do things, the government needs to be stable, but in recent years, the turmoil over the succession has really made him extremely tired.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Jingyuan nodded, and he still agreed with this statement. /p>
Looking at the unkind face of the queen, Chen Zhi knew that something was wrong, and she became worried.
When the eunuch reminded her, Zhu Jinghong had already seen the emperor.
"What does the trial of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have to do with him? Is it worth letting him act like a hero? "
But if you don't gamble and allow Shen Jinxun and others to be deposed, then the people who follow him will be separated. This is a burden that Zhu Jinghong cannot bear.
"In my heart I always feel uneasy..." Baochai said extremely uneasily.
For example, the Criminal Division asked during the incident that most of the so-called personal and material evidence were herdsmen. These people had served under the Junggar rule. How to ensure that these Is this person’s testimony true?
Zhang Rulin is a local patrol censor, and it is beyond his authority to investigate the military discipline of the northwest armies. However, he spent more than half a year collecting evidence. Is he suspected of leaving his post without permission? ?
Although Zhu Jingyuan said: "I have seen the evidence, it is indeed reasonable..."
The emperor watched the whole process with cold eyes, which made Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but guess that the emperor was happy to depose these people. Seeing that it was done, Baochai asked, "Why? Just based on your father-son relationship? "
"Kneel down! "
After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jingyuan nodded and ordered Xu Xinan to arrange the matter.
He was betting that the emperor would treat him as his son, and that he would still treat himself as his son. It has enough value!
As for losing the bet... As long as the queen is still there, it will be nothing more than a slap in the face, or being imprisoned or reduced, which is acceptable to Zhu Jinghong
So at this point, the so-called direction of the case is no longer important. The key lies in what the emperor thinks.
To be more precise, it is challenging the imperial power. < /p>
"Nonsense..."
The polo match was over. After the generals said goodbye to the emperor, they left the Longwu Hall campus one after another. No one came to greet Zhu Jinghong throughout the process.
Everyone left, except for the eunuchs, only Zhu Jinghong and his son were left.
The other ten censors who were impeached immediately had their own responsibilities and were not subordinate to each other. , but they work together because they don’t want to do anything. Is it suspected of forming a clique for personal gain?
“Baochai, I won’t lose this one! "Zhu Jinghong's eyes were firm.
"Dad..."
Before Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, he heard Zhu Xianming say coldly: "You are threatening me! ”
