Chapter 34: Imperial Prelude to Yang Shiqi

The atmosphere in Jinshen Hall was as oppressive as the real thing.

Youdao is a son who never talks about his father's faults. Zhu Youyi reported his father Zhu Ji for treason. After hearing this, the first feeling of both Zhu Yunwen and the four ministers was: Impossible!

Who is Zhu Tie? Does he dare to rebel?

Zhu Ji is not his brother Zhu Di. He does not have the ability to conquer the world. In addition, he was not favored by Taizu in his early years. In Kaifeng, he did not even have 3,000 soldiers. To say that he is preparing to rebel is not to deceive the world.

Funny?

Why is it said that Zhu Tie will definitely not rebel? Because in his early years, Zhu Tie left the Fengyang ancestral land without permission. After Taizu found out, he was directly sent to Yunnan. It took several years before he was pardoned. After returning to Henan, he immediately became honest and ruthless.

Tianzhai was busy rehearsing songs and dances in the palace, singing big plays and acting like an otaku. He wanted to rebel against such a thing who obviously had no evil heart or courage. Unless his eldest brother broke into the palace now, Yuji Fengtian, he would not dare to do so.

Outcrop.

"Zhu Bai counterfeited treasures and exploited people's wealth. Zhu Zhu intended to rebel and rebel against the emperor and his father. Hahahahaha."

Zhu Yunwen glanced around the hall and suddenly laughed, "Aren't these two of my uncles putting their heads under my knife and begging for death?"

Zhu Yunwen now understands that if only one of these two things happened, there is still a third possibility that it is true. If they happen together at this time, they are 100% false. Someone is obviously behind the scenes.

, he is playing political strife. He, Zhu Yunwen, is not a noob. How could he not see such an obvious use of a borrowed knife to kill people?

"One fiefdom is in the sacred land of Hunan, and the other is in the old capital of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains. The two of them hold thousands of stones and royal salaries, and enjoy the fiefdom and the people's support. They have lived a good life for so long that their brains are confused?"

Zhu Yunwen paced back and forth in the hall, laughing angrily, "You tell me, can you believe it? Can you believe it?"

The four of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Get up, I'm not angry with these two people." Zhu Yunwen sneered, "I'm angry with the people behind these two people. They are treating me as a fool. Such a clumsy frame-up will make me attack King Xiang Tuesday.

?Using a knife on a clan member? Ridiculous, ridiculous."

Baozhao's eyebrows were racing, "Your Majesty means..."

Zhu Yunwen didn't even need to infer, history had clearly recorded it, "My dear fourth uncle, I can't wait to catch him without mercy."

Everyone already knows the stupidest thing that the prototype Zhu Yunwen did in history. When he came to power, he couldn't wait to kill his relatives, causing all the vassals and relatives to alienate him. When Zhu Di was in trouble, no prince was willing to raise troops to save him. These bad things, the soul

How could the Zhu Yunwen who came here be doing it?

So he is using a soft policy to slowly win over the differences. So he wants to open border markets in exchange for peace in the north and conquer the southwest. He is also trying his best not to start a war and waste national power. Every move Zhu Yunwen makes now is based on

Simmer over low heat and try to spend the first few years of your reign as peacefully as possible.

But Zhu Di was still the talented and strategic Emperor Chengzu. He noticed that he was unwilling to wait for death in this environment. Zhu Yunwen also underestimated Zhu Di's energy. He actually had the ability to frame several princes at the same time, and then pushed these bad things to Zhu Yunwen.

In front of him, Zhu Yunwen was forced to do it!

Zhu Bai forged treasure banknotes and exploited people's wealth. Should we investigate or not? If we don't investigate, the people in the world will scold their mothers. As an emperor, you can throw away anything, but the people's hearts cannot be thrown away. Taizu's pearls and jade are before him, and he loves the people like his sons.

It set a benchmark for Zhu Yunwen who succeeded him, so Zhu Yunwen had to investigate. It was easy to investigate a prince. A few eunuchs and a team of royal guards could bring Zhu Bai into the capital. But Zhu Yunwen was afraid. He already knew that Zhu Di was behind the scenes.

, then will the latter allow Zhu Bai to enter Beijing so smoothly?

Zhu Ji intends to conspire, and the whistleblower is his own son. This is basically a certainty. What else is there to say? If someone is held accountable, they will be beheaded or deposed and exiled. The entire Zhou Wang family is obviously a victim. Wait until Zhu Yunwen

After the punishment was decided, all Zhu Youyi had to do was change his story and say that he was coerced by Zhu Yunwen. It was Zhu Yunwen who forced Zhu Youyi to frame Zhu Yi in order to weaken the feudal vassal. Zhu Yunwen could not clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

When faced with a dilemma, one step leads to a general.

Zhu Yunwen pinched his eyebrows irritably, "Let's tell you what to do."

Fang Xiaoru was frightened at this time. Although he didn't have much political acumen, he was not a fool either. Zhu Yunwen said that Zhu Di was the mastermind behind the scenes, so he sorted out the whole incident and immediately cried out, "It's the weak minister who is stupid."

, I deserve to die.”

The simplest solution to this chess move is for the cabinet not to report it. Zhu Yunwen pretends to be ignorant and does not know. When the public resentment rises, Zhu Yunwen borrows a head from the cabinet, which is enough to quell the people's anger. At that time, Southwest has almost established a plan.

, with Zhu Yunwen's prestige, he can naturally use more flexible means to deal with these bad things, but when Fang Xiaoru burst into Jinshen Palace, Zhu Yunwen could no longer pretend not to know.

Zhu Yunwen was too lazy to pay attention to him and let him kneel there, looking at Baozhao and Yu Xin, "What do you two elders think?"

Bao Zhao sighed, "The matter has come to this, and it will hurt His Majesty's face not to investigate. In this case, we should immediately order the King of Xiang to go to Beijing on Tuesday to defend himself. At that time, the Third Law Division will prepare a piece of evidence of innocence and suppress these two matters first.

Let’s talk after we come down.”

Zhu Yunwen said with some worry, "I'm afraid these two won't be able to enter Beijing alive."

There is no room for mercy on the road to rebellion, and Zhu Di is not a soft-hearted person at all. After the Jingnan, he killed tens of thousands of people. This kind of guy will not attack unless everything is properly prepared.

Yu Xin was also confused. He hesitated for a while, then Xie Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I and others are incompetent, but there is a person in the Imperial Academy who can see at a glance that this matter is framed. It is better to summon him, or

There are ways to deal with it.”

Zhu Yunwen became more energetic, "Who is it?"

"This man's name is Yang Yu, and he was recommended by Wang Shuying, the academician of the Hanlin Academy."

Yang Yu?

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly. He had never heard of this name before. How much could he expect from an unknown person in history.

"Let's call him first and ask."

Shuangxi accepted the order and hurried out of the hall. Not long after, he brought back a man who had been dating for a long time.

"Weak minister Yang Yu, I wish you long live my emperor."

Yang Yu was very excited. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to meet the emperor in his first year of entering the imperial court. He heard that the emperor called him to serve as a prelude to the imperial court. It was incredible, and it was a great opportunity to rise to the top.

"Shiqi, I have nothing to do with King Xiang's affairs. Is there anything you can do to relieve His Majesty's worries?"

As soon as Xie Jin opened his mouth, Zhu Yunwen's expression suddenly changed. Shiqi? Yang Shiqi?

Damn it, you told me earlier. How can I remember what you said about Yang Yu? You said that Yang Shiqi was like thunder, a wise prime minister in the early Ming Dynasty, and a minister in the four dynasties.

Yang Yu raised his head and said, "I dare to guess that King Xiang's case must have been framed by someone else. King Xiang is an idle king in the south of the Yangtze River. He has no soldiers and no power. Why was he framed?"

"Stand up and answer." Zhu Yun hummed, "I suspect that someone wants to use my hands to kill my clan members and ruin my reputation."

Yang Yu stood up and held up his hands, "Your Majesty is wise, in this case, why don't you take advantage of the situation to counterattack an army?"

Rebel against the general's army?

Zhu Yunwen became interested and said, "Tell me carefully."

"The King of Hunan forged treasure banknotes, which was an act of exploiting people's wealth. However, the matter was discovered early, there were very few civilian victims, and the national treasury was full, so the imperial court could take the responsibility. His Majesty ordered the Chief Envoy of Hunan to provide double compensation first to suppress the public's anger. Prince

If it is illegal, Your Majesty will first take the blame on yourself and then find out the truth."

"Everyone is guilty, but I am the one to blame."

Zhu Yunwen carefully tasted the taste, and his eyes suddenly lit up. What was Zhu Di's purpose in framing Zhu Bai? Wasn't it just to make himself bear the infamy of killing his clan members? Okay, I am the emperor, so Wan Fang is guilty.

The fault lies with me. King Xiang is my uncle. King Xiang is lawless. It is me, the emperor, who failed to do a good job. I should take the blame for him!

Isn't it just counterfeiting treasure banknotes? I will first go to the treasury to cover the loss and double the compensation. People will not scold the court for a while after getting the discount. When other princes see it, they will also praise Zhu Yunwen for his righteousness, and then slowly investigate this matter.

case.

Even if Zhu Di killed King Xiang at this time, dirty water would not be poured on Zhu Yunwen's head. People in the world would only say that King Xiang committed suicide out of fear of crime. Who would suspect that Zhu Yunwen did it?

If Zhu Yunwen had done anything, it would not make sense logically, because Zhu Yunwen could have clearly ordered the investigation, and there was no need to take the blame on himself and ruin the emperor's face in vain.

It’s really worth it to exchange a little face for the gratitude of all the princes!

Moreover, we Chinese people have a deep-rooted desire to be merciful and forgiving. As long as the compensation is in place, the people will not insist on making a fuss about this matter. They are still content to make concessions in the 21st century, let alone the Ming Dynasty at this time, Zhu Yunwen

If the compensation is doubled, the people will still have to remember Zhu Yunwen.

Crisis, crisis, indeed there are dangers, as long as we deal with them properly, there are benefits.

Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily, "Such a simple response makes me and Sange look bad."

Fang Xiaoru was still kneeling on the ground and did not get up at this time. When he heard Yang Yu's response, he looked at the latter with grateful eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Shi is a great talent, I admire you."

Yang Shiqi hurriedly turned sideways and did not dare to respond, "Student Qian Jian, Fang Ge Lao Jian laughed."

"How to deal with the King of Zhou's matter?" Zhu Yunwen told Yang Shiqi again about Zhu Youyi's report to Zhu Rui, and the latter smiled softly.

"It is said that a son does not tell his father's faults. How can a son in the world accuse his father of treason? It is nonsense and makes people laugh. The imperial minister reported it to the emperor without verifying it. This is a joke to entertain your majesty. You will be punished!"

Shuangxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knelt down in front of Zhu Yunzhen with a smile, "I have neglected my management and allowed such ridiculous things to taint His Majesty's ears. I deserve to die."

Zhu Yunwen pretended to shout, "Come on, pull this dog out. With twenty sticks, I will definitely kill him next time."

A Jin Yiwei rushed in and was specifically told by Zhu Yunwen, "I would not like to break even a piece of skin."

The leading Han general suddenly understood and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. If Eunuch Sun breaks a piece of skin, he will eventually touch it with his head."

When Shuangxi was respectfully invited out by several royal guards to beat the imperial staff, the Jinshen Hall burst into laughter, and the suppressed atmosphere suddenly came to life.

Zhu Di, Zhu Di, please be honest.
