The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

Governor Ma Wang failed to report his findings to Zhu Di the next day.

After everyone completely extinguished the fire, his body was found at the bottom of the ruins, under a wooden beam that had been burnt to black charcoal.His face is already indistinguishable, and he can only be recognized by a golden belt bestowed by the emperor.

Ma Wang was one of the generals who drove the North Expedition last year.After Liu Jiang was ordered to go out of Liaodong, Ma Wang was the highest military general below Zhu Di in the capital.

Such a big person was burned to death, and there were countless casualties in the palace, and the fire was obviously caused by the setting of the Aoshan lamp too high. However, Zhu Di did not pursue the responsibility of the King of Han for his negligence, and only demoted the official in charge.

After all, it was the king of Han who escaped death and carried the emperor out of the fire.

But it's not easy to let go of a fire case in front of the world so lightly, so an explanation must be given.Then a minister who had heard about it, figured out what he wanted, and when the court was restored after the 21st day of the first lunar month, he said that the fire was a warning from heaven.

Divine right of kings.The emperor is the son of heaven, so it is natural to repent if the heaven warns.Only by appeasing God can we continue to govern.The usual operation throughout the ages is nothing more than to issue an imperial edict, amnesty the world, and exempt taxation.

Zhu Di knew exactly what was going on in the fire, so of course he wouldn't take the blame for his son in vain. He had just exempted Jiangsu and Zhejiang from taxes a few years ago, so he issued an amnesty to a group of prison inmates to honor the virtues of heaven.

As usual, Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, was asked to submit the list of detainees for Zhu Di to choose from.

But how to write the order of the list and which piece of paper is placed on it, there is room for manipulation.

The prince was thinking about the masters of the Eastern Palace and a group of ministers who had served the Eastern Palace before, so he sent someone to contact Ji Gang secretly, asking him to forward the names of the relevant personnel in the Eastern Palace.

Ji Gang deliberately wiped away the previous suspicions with Dong Gong.This kind of work that does not violate the emperor's order, but also can secretly please the future master, he did not do it for nothing, so he agreed.

The emperor did as the East Palace wished and released several ministers from the East Palace.

Unexpectedly, at midnight, Ji Gang sent someone to secretly come to the East Palace despite the heavy snow, saying that Xie Jin was dead.

Heidan and I only found out when we had breakfast the next day.

It is said that when Ji Gang put Xie Jin's name on the top paper, the emperor glanced at it and asked, "Is Xie Jin still alive?"

Zhu Di used to use this code word to kill people, and when Ji Gang heard it, he had no choice but to do so.

"Ji Gang said that because he was from the Eastern Palace, he was asked to get drunk before he died, and then threw him into the snow, where he gradually froze to death without knowing it, so that he would suffer less." The prince said: " The palace servants swept the snow this morning, they probably found his body."

Renzhao was killed, and he wanted to please the East Palace with a report.Heidan has never been used to Ji Gangshoushu's behavior, so he sneered at his statement and did not comment. He only said: "To solve Jin's crime, the crime does not deserve death. I am afraid it is the emperor's grandfather who gave us a 'reminder' again." .”

After all, when Zhu Gaochi was appointed as the prince, Xie Jin was the number one hero.A sentence of "good grandson" and a picture of "Tiger Mighty Picture" set the world.

"In these years, which day have I not remembered my duty as a son and minister, and trembled. If I continue to 'remind' like this..." The prince sighed: "My benefactor of the East Palace has left again. I shouldn't rush in, go find Ji Gang help..."

Since the fire incident, Zhu Di has become more and more doting on the King of Han.

It stands to reason that the position of the crown prince has been decided, and the other princes will go to feud the country when they grow up. Because the King of Han is favored, they have not left for a long time, and they will stay in the capital for ten years.Now the king of Han ran to the palace every day, and the rewards from the palace to the palace of the king of Han were endless, which made the palace and the palace of the king of Han outside the palace more and more integrated, and alienated from the east palace which was close at hand.

Usually, when banquets are held in the palace, the seat of the king of Han is also closer to the throne. "It's too far away to talk." The emperor said.

As for the prince, he could only watch from the sidelines.

Not only watching, but also listening, unable to get in a word.

"I remember that when Jing Nan was in trouble, there was a bitter battle. I was exhausted and my life was in danger. It was the King of Han who came and rescued me from the rebel sword." Once the friendship on the battlefield is discussed, there is no such thing as Dong Gong. His mission is to stay in Peiping.

Holding Beiping with a weak force against the pressure of Li Jinglong's 50 troops in an empty city is a rare feat, but how can it compare to the father-son relationship that people get along day and night and fight side by side?

The emperor and the king of Han toasted each other, drinking and chatting happily, recalling the turbulent years of the past.On the side of the East Palace, it was depressed and desolate, and there was no sound.

The prince and Heidan have been used to forbearance these years, and they have become two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. However, Zhao Wang, who is sitting opposite the King of Han, has a very delicate expression.

He narrowed his red phoenix eyes slightly, his expression seemed to be a smile, but not a smile.

Zhao Wang is the youngest son, because of his wit and lovability, he was doted on by the empress and became lawless.To act violently is not under the King of Han.

Between the crown prince and the King of Han, he had been in the King of Han's team early on, and he had often followed the King of Han to step on the East Palace in the past.Even because of the failure of framing the East Palace, in the seventh year of Yongle before I entered the palace, I was confiscated by the emperor and killed the master who was in charge of teaching him.

He is in the play of seizing the throne, but why does he look like he is watching a play?

Now that the two dragons are fighting, the court has already fought to the death. If another force gets involved, the court of Ming Dynasty will be turned upside down. How can it handle government affairs normally?In order to fight for power and profit, they argued with each other, those who should be allocated funds did not allocate funds, those who should reduce taxes did not reduce taxes, and those who should have light corvee and thin labor increased corvee. In the end, the winners became kings and the losers became bandits.

I sat behind Heidan and looked at Zhao Wang secretly, but I couldn't see through his psychology.

When I came back to my senses, I found that the person sitting under King Zhao's hands was also looking at me.

I asked Heidan: "It's been a while since the Northern Expedition came back, will Duke Qian stay in the palace all this time?"

Heidan said: "It is said that it is to accompany the princess, but it also means that there are hostages. The southwest is fighting fiercely, and so many people are in the hands of Qian Guogong. It is true to employ people, but we must keep a back hand."

I responded with an "ohhh" and heard Heitan muttering in a low voice: "Look again, look at you again and I'll gouge out his eyeballs."

Pfft, jealous again.I hurriedly put vegetables in his bowl: "Quail eggs, shrimp meatballs, eat more of what you like." Heidan was still angry.

The spring of the 13th year of Yongle was as icy and unbearable to Donggong as the winter of the 12th year of Yongle.

A bowl of uneven emperor, one-sided court, two busy black eggs around the emperor and the prince.

The prince is too kind.Only the king of Han dug a hole for him, and he kept giving in, but never fought back.

Heidan was irritated several times by the King of Han, and every time he wanted to play tricks to attack the King of Han, but was stopped by the prince.

"He doesn't regard me as an elder brother, but I have to keep my duty as an elder brother." The prince said.

If you only talk about reason, you really can't beat him.

But at the time of life and death, fighting in the court is not reasonable, and no one will reason with you, my future father-in-law...

Heidan learned the lesson from Zhou Xin's incident before, and he didn't act rashly if the prince said nothing.

"Although I held back, I was really aggrieved." One day Heidan came back from Chaos and came to my room to complain secretly.

I have no complaints about the prince's ninjutsu, but I can only say a few words to stabilize him: "Let's see how rampant they are. When they become so rampant, His Majesty will not be able to bear them, so he will naturally accept them. Do you remember?" His Majesty's words of "going up to the sky alone"? It should be the time when His Majesty was most disappointed with the East Palace, but even then, he still wanted you to "go up to the sky", and he didn't mean to change the King of Han to be in charge of the East Palace. I think Your Majesty is a person with the world in mind, and a person with a high vision, who must know from the bottom of his heart, who is more suitable to be the master of success, His Highness the Crown Prince or the Duke of Han. If this is the case, let them make a fuss and make a fuss about His Majesty's favor, that's fine."

Heidan said: "If you think so, yes."

The East Palace stood still, the King of Han became more and more arrogant, and all the officials gradually became dissatisfied.

There are a considerable number of officials who originally avoided seizing the heir apparent, did not stand in any team, and only wanted to be wise and safe, and now they can't stand it anymore.

In spring, the King of Han rode his horse out of the city for an outing, and he actually stepped on the young seedlings that the people worked so hard to plant.Although no one dared to sue the prince, and the common people had no place to sue for grievances, there was a censor who ruthlessly participated in the attendant of the King of Han.Although the matter was left alone, Zhu Di even fined the censor half a year's salary, but public anger and official grievances gradually became a climate, and he could not completely ignore it.But such "little things", even if Zhu Di said a few words to King Han, and King Han agreed obediently, but he didn't hear them.

The king of Han himself was like this, and his minions even harmed the people from the court to the people.In the court, they are corrupt and pervert the law, obstructing public affairs; among the people, they disregard human life and plunder by force.

If it was said that in the tenth year of Yongle, the servants of the King of Han were tyrannical and dared to rob civilian women in the street, now three years later, they have reached the point of murdering and taking their wives.

The sky is angry and the people complain, and only owes the sky to reap.
