Ministers and others get married by decree

The left deputy capital censor, Zuo Yichang.

He even admonished him with death, and bumped his head to death in the Qinzheng Palace of the official family!

It is said that on the same day Zuo Yichang asked to see Emperor Xintai, the two had a dispute in the hall.Then came the Xintai emperor's angry reprimand in the hall, "I have no rules and despise the king", and Zuo Yichang shouted, "I am willing to risk my life to do my best! I hope the officials will listen! I hope the officials will repent!"

Bang Bang!

Zhao Yiqing rushed in almost at the same time, only to see blood splattered all over the ground, and Zuo Yichang had fallen to the ground dead.

After the incident, Zuo Yichang's letter of remonstrance was immediately spread throughout the government and the public. Scholars did not dare to discuss it publicly, but they rushed to circulate it privately.

Seeing that there is a lot of talk about the lack of filial piety and uncoordinated virtue of the new Tai emperor, the sage was quoted as saying: "If the king refuses to advise, he will be loyal and brave, and if the good and evil are the same, the hero will be tired... The words of medicine and stone, good medicine is bitter, please learn from the officials... "

In the end, he persuaded the new Emperor Tai to issue an imperial edict of sin against himself, and it is best to be able to sit in the position of the eldest prince in time, so as to turn the scandal into a good talk.

Not to mention that the Inspectorate worked overtime to carry out ideological work, thoroughly checked the files of the big and small imperial censors, and other departments began to strictly investigate, for fear that another stick like Zuo Yichang would come out of his door!

The youngest of the cabinet elders is Chief Assistant Wang Zhizhong, 40 years old, and the rest are old and frail, and stay up all night frowning.

"I really didn't expect that!" Cheng Ge looked at Liu Kun's empty table and sighed faintly.

Old Pei Ge looked down at the copy of Zuo Yichang's letter of remonstrance, and couldn't bear to look straight at him: "I didn't expect that. When did Zuo Yichang become a 'literary remonstrance'? He has been a teacher in the department, have you seen him have such a literary talent?"

What kind of bullshit did you write, and I have the nerve to show it off!

He has been an official for so many years, and the official family can be said to be the emperor he is most satisfied with. He is steady and hardworking, respects courtiers, listens to advice, and is not radical!I don't like spending money either!I don't like fighting either!

And change to another... who knows what kind of virtue?Like the First Prince?

Mud can't support the wall!

Cheng Ge stroked his beard, frowned and said: "These piles are all piles, and the sword is pointed at the throne. The picture is very big."

Pei Ge, who was sitting opposite him, rolled his eyes: "You're talking nonsense! I'm just asking you, is the eldest prince capable?"

"The eldest prince didn't have one before," Cheng Ge said calmly, "now you think you have one."

The cabinet suddenly fell silent.

Wang Zhizhong sat in the middle and at the head, his sleeves folded in a trance.It's been a while, and it's actually easy to guess, but there are some things he can't figure out... He heard Cheng Ge's last words, and his heart trembled.

To be honest, although they looked down on the Eldest Prince, the Eldest Prince is the only son of the official family who has lived to be a child, and he will be crowned in a few years.If you can't afford to support a seedling on a thousand acres of dry land, you have to support it.In case something happens to this single seedling, they can't follow the example of the previous dynasty and bring out a female emperor, can they?

At this time, we can't let this single seedling fall into the pit!

"No, I'll go see the First Prince!" He couldn't sit still, so he stood up and strode out.

Seeing that he ran away as soon as he slipped away, the elders got up slowly and got ready to leave work.

"Master Shoufu is still young." Old Cheng Ge snorted softly.

Old Pei Ge hummed louder than him: "Don't stand on the shore, if something happens, you will have to work for at least another ten years before you can retire!"

Wang Zhizhong went to the eldest prince's mansion to ask for an interview, and the clinker told him that the eldest prince had gone to the suburbs of Beijing.

Shoufu's heart skipped a beat for a moment.

Going to the suburbs of Beijing at this time?

He looked up at the plaque of the Prince's Mansion and felt helpless.But the prince didn't get married, otherwise he would still count on the princess.He turned around and got into the carriage, and said to the coachman, "Go to the Yamen of Jiufu."

The night of the tenth day of October is destined to be sleepless.

In the middle of the night, the First Prince Wei Jin approached the Inner Palace with 3000 troops from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.There is already a curfew in the inner city, and the streets are empty.This group of people walked silently all the way to the gate of the inner palace, and it was only in the darkness that they alarmed the imperial guards guarding the gate.

Wei Jin didn't notice the eerie silence in the palace, he hurried to Qinzheng Palace with his troops, not complacent in his heart, and even panicked on his expression.

It can be said that he was brought here tonight by people from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Although he made the decision to force the palace, and he has such determination, but at this moment, he doesn't feel that he is fully prepared.

When Wei Jin stood in front of the gate of Qinzheng Palace, he even felt a kind of absurdity.

'Am I qualified to stand here? '

The generals on the left and right pushed open the vermilion gate for him, and there was a little bloody smell in the yard.He was familiar with a few court ladies, and he didn't dare to look at them, because he didn't have time to plead for mercy just now.

"Wei Jin, you are promising." The emperor sat on the throne with no expression on his face.

Wei Jin panicked.

He could hear his own heart beating like a drum, but what about the soldiers on the left and right?What about the emperor's father?

"Father, you should, you should obey the imperial censor's advice and give way to my ministers," he recited a series of words calmly, "At that time, you will sit firmly on the throne of the Supreme Emperor, and the state affairs and government affairs will still be respected by your ministers. "

Xin Taidi looked at the young man in front of him.

Sixteen, or seventeen?

He has grown taller, and looks good in the prince's court clothes, but the way he looks at himself has never changed.

Always so timid and cowardly.

He couldn't bear it.

"Father Emperor..." Wei Jin said anxiously, and this address became his last sentence.

In the next second, the general beside him suddenly jumped up and slashed at his neck with a vertical knife!Wei Jin's body was still standing on the spot, blood spattered from the broken neck, his face was filled with shock, his head rolled to the front of Yu An.

Xin Taidi looked away.

At this moment, King Wei stepped into the Hall of Qinzheng from the night, and stepped into a puddle of blood.

"Your Highness." The general put the knife back into its sheath, knelt down on one knee and saluted, before dragging the First Prince's body out of the hall.

"The eldest prince plotted rebellion, and the escort came late." King Wei bowed down respectfully, "Is the emperor surprised?"

Emperor Xintai looked at him expressionlessly, behind him stood Zhao Yiqing and Wu Bingsheng.

"It's really you."

The king of Wei stood up straight, looking calm.

"Brother Huang has been on guard against his younger brother for decades, how could he not have thought it was his younger brother?"

Emperor Xintai twitched the corner of his mouth: "Although I understand your ambition, I don't know that you can even attack your own mother."

If he had suspected that the Queen Mother was conspiring with the King of Wei at the beginning, he now understands it.The Empress Dowager is a little girl, and she cherishes her life very much, she must not have the courage to risk her life to help her son, otherwise it would not be his turn to sit here ten years ago.

As soon as the queen mother was mentioned, the smile on Wei Wang's face disappeared.

Emperor Xintai looked at him with complicated eyes: "Although the queen mother is unable to help you win the throne, she still loves and protects you wholeheartedly. Your uncle has no intention of fighting for power, but it is beneficial and harmless to you..."

Since he was a child, he could not rely on his own mother, nor did he have any support from his parents, his father was above him.But King Wei is different from him, so he has different ideas.

No wonder everyone doubted and doubted, and it was difficult to really fall on King Wei in the end.How can a prince who wants to seize the throne get rid of his mother and natal family who are the queen mother?

King Wei sneered, "Your Majesty really loves and protects me, so what's the use? She just made me a coward! When Father was here, she didn't dare to fight for me, making me lose the throne forever, Father! I'm gone, I still have to pretend to be crazy and foolish, so that I can live and work, why?!"

"The Bai family..." He snorted disdainfully, "Bai Lu is such a waste! Not only is he helpless to me, but he is also desperately dragging me down!" God knows how much he hates Bai Lu's old face!

He didn't want to think about these people any more, and waved his sleeves: "Don't talk about them. Emperor brother, the eldest prince is your only son. Without him, he is not worthy of virtue. I think you will not be able to sit comfortably. Better let it go."

Xin Taidi was very calm: "Even if you want to give up, there is no need to rush for a moment. Since you have spent all this effort, you just want to get a good name and a good name in the history books, so just wait."

King Wei naturally noticed that Emperor Xintai's behavior was abnormally calm, but the rabbit would bite when he was in a hurry. If the other party wrote an edict immediately, he would be worried about fraud.He changed his mind, if he disagreed today, he might have to bow his head tomorrow.

"That's fine," he said with a smile, "Brother Huang lost his beloved son tonight, I really shouldn't make things difficult for Brother Huang. We will discuss this matter tomorrow."

The 3000 men and horses came like a tide, and then faded away like a tide, guarding outside the city.

The Palace of Qinzheng was quiet, but the atmosphere was not that negative.

"My lord, the body of the First Prince..." Zhao Yiqing looked at the head and asked hesitantly.

Emperor Xintai rubbed the center of his brows wearily, and some of Wei Jin's childhood images flashed before his eyes.He was not completely moved by Wei Jin's death, but to be honest, it was very limited.

"Tell people to restrain themselves, go find the body, at least let someone sew it up, and there will be a whole body."

Zhao Yiqing recruited his subordinates to deal with it, but he looked at that head again, hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to ask?" Xin Taidi looked sideways at him.

"...Eldest prince, is he really a prince?" He couldn't help asking.

Everyone is dead, and Emperor Xintai has no intention of hiding it. After thinking about it, he told him: "When I was in the hidden mansion, I was not in good health. The queen was sterile, and several concubines were also difficult to conceive. , childlessness is a big mistake, so some tricks were used.”

There are some secrets in it, and he doesn't want to tell Zhao Yiqing, so as not to pollute the other party's ears.

At that time, he wanted to secretly adopt a baby from the Jimin Institute and give it to his concubine to raise him as a concubine.But who would have thought that his concubine, in order to compete for favor in the back house, actually stole someone to conceive a child.

He was indeed furious, and after the anger passed, he had to grit his teeth and admit it.After all, compared to adopting which is full of mistakes, being born by his concubine is naturally more secure.The concubine died of dystocia, and unexpectedly got a man in one fell swoop.

After so many years, he didn't want to take his anger out on his child, so he could only ignore him.Wei Jin's death today was certainly due to his ignorance, but it was more due to his indifference.If he had had the heart back then, there would have been countless ways to teach Wei Jin to keep his own place, and he would not die tragically today.

Zhao Yiqing is a smart person, he can hear that the words of the new Taidi are vague.

Of course, he doesn't need to know too much about many things.

At present, as long as he knows that the eldest prince is not the new Tai Emperor's own, that's enough.

"It's very strange for me to see King Wei's words and deeds," he rubbed his chin, "King Wei seems to be sure that we will bow to him tomorrow."

Wu Bingsheng took a deep breath: "This King Wei, does he have a plan?"

"It's just that the border is restless these days," Zhao Yiqing frowned, "I won't mention the western border, pirates are rampant along the coast, and most of the nine prefectures have been dispatched to suppress them, otherwise we wouldn't be so passive."

On the contrary, Xin Taidi's mentality is very calm.

"Do you think there is only a big camp in the suburbs of Beijing?" He shook his head and sighed, "This person has endured for ten years, just look at Liu Kun and Zuo Yichang, who hide so deeply! Literary critics, if the queen mother is really bad this time, I will If you don't abdicate, it will be difficult to block the mouths of the world!"

Around him belonged to his own forces, only Jiufu Yamen and Yingyuwei.Most of Zhao Yiqing's nine-fu yamen went to the coast, as well as Jiaxing and other places. The Eagle Feather Guards were originally spies, and there were not many of them.

The imperial guards are less than two thousand, and they are still scattered at the gates of the city.

The new emperor laughed at himself, thinking, since he succeeded to the throne, he has continued the policy of the former emperor, suppressed eunuchs, and suppressed generals... Is it right or wrong?

Thinking about it carefully, he is not like the first emperor who sits firmly in the world. Such a policy has led to changes in the capital, and he has no power to resist.King Qin's team was scattered all over the place by him. If people like Chu Zhihai came back with the troops, I'm afraid his heads would have fallen to the ground, and the world would have been ruled by another person long ago!

"The antidote will probably be delivered tomorrow," Zhao Yiqing reassured him, "Wei Wang is a picky man, and he wants to win the throne and try to make it perfect, which just gives us a chance. As long as the Queen Mother wakes up, the reason for giving up the throne will be untenable." , If he wants to seize the throne, it is treason."

In this dynasty, literature was more important than military affairs, and the atmosphere of literati was at its peak. Heaven, earth, monarchs, relatives and teachers became more and more popular, and the way of Neo Confucianism gradually became the mainstream.If the king of Wei wanted to usurp the throne without complaining, every literati could drown him with a spit.When he goes to court, most of the censors of the Inspectorate will be killed.

This is also the reason why King Wei went around and wanted to force Emperor Xintai to abdicate voluntarily.

Nothing happened the next day.

The people in the imperial city are very sensitive to the atmosphere in the capital. The sound of horseshoes echoing in the middle of the night yesterday was obviously abnormal.So the market was deserted the next day, and there were few people walking on the street.

Not to mention the courtiers, those who were supposed to be on vacation or skipped work, all stayed on duty obediently, and did not visit or inquire.The low-level officials are more likely to burn incense in the morning and evening, hoping that the chaotic situation will be cleared up earlier, and the doors of the high-level officials are closed after work, for fear that someone will come to the door.

Wang Cheng finally came back with the antidote.

"The bid lives up to expectations!" He raised his hands hoarsely, and presented the refined iron medicine box.

Emperor Xintai didn't care how he entered the palace from the heavy guard of King Wei, and happily ordered him to stand up, "You are a hero, and the journey must have been extremely difficult, so sit down and talk!"

Zhao Yiqing took the medicine box and motioned him to sit down.

"It's not hard to bid," Wang Cheng felt relieved, sitting on the chair brought by Wu Bingsheng himself, in a mess, "Master Qin's apprentice rushed all the way from Wanshan City to Jiaxing, and brought the medicine primer. We asked Dr. Sun to concoct it overnight For the antidote, take the medicine under the bid and leave, Dr. Sun asked someone to test the medicine, if the medicine is wrong, he will bring a new medicine to catch up with the bid."

He hastily added, "Since the minister is here, the effect of the medicine must be correct."

Emperor Xintai still trusted Sun Tzuchu, and nodded appreciatively.

"Has Qin Fengchi come back?"

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said: "When Biaoxia rushed to the capital, I heard from Qin Song that Master Qin and Chu's bodyguard were still trapped in Wanshan City. Gong Qianhu had already led someone to kill them... Biaoxia felt that Master Qin and his guards were still trapped in Wanshan City. Guard Chu's ability should already be on his way back...?"

Isn't that just unclear?

Emperor Xintai was in a hurry.

The author has something to say: If the general rejects advice, he will be loyal and brave, and if the good and the evil are the same, the hero will be tired——The TV series "The Great Case of Hongwu"

It's not that Xin Taidi can't give birth.
