Chapter Thirty-Nine
When Guang Shiheng heard the movement downstairs, he immediately smiled and looked at Zhu Cixiang and his group with eyes full of pity.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs. A civil servant in his forties, wearing a low-front black gauze hat and a bright red official uniform, came to Dezhuang Hotpot surrounded by a large group of government officials.
Second floor.
"Brother Guang, I heard that your son was also beaten. Who is so brave and dares to commit murder in broad daylight in the capital? Is it because he has eaten the courage of a leopard and is impatient?" Before anyone arrived, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture
Dong Xinghuai's voice has been heard.
When Dong Xinghuai came to Guang Shiheng angrily, he glanced at Zhu Cixiang and others, and the next second he was suddenly stunned.
Zhu Cixiang said with a smile: "Are you the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture?"
"ah!"
Dong Xinghuai exclaimed. At this moment, all the expressions on Dong Xinghuai's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a bitter expression. This time, he was deceived by his son and this bitch Guang Shiheng.
I didn't expect that the other party was His Highness the Crown Prince.
Seeing Dong Xinghuai's expression, Guang Shiheng was confused as to why the man surnamed Dong was so scared all of a sudden. He subconsciously asked: "Master Dong, do you know them?"
Dong Xinghuai ignored him, bowed his back slightly, and said respectfully to Zhu Cihong: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thousand years old, Dong Xinghuai, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture."
With Dong Xinghuai's salute, the entire second floor of Dezhuang Hotpot immediately knelt on the ground. Those government officials who were originally imposing and wanted to come up and take someone away immediately stopped and lay on the ground trembling slightly.
Zhu Cixiang nodded without saying anything, and turned his gaze to Guang Shiheng.
After Guang Shiheng heard Dong Xinghuai's words, he was also suddenly shocked. Then he saw the people kneeling on the ground and knelt down quickly.
Zhu Cixiang said with a half-smile, "Dong Xinghuai, just now your son said that he was going to bring in reinforcements. He asked me to wait. I have been keeping my word and have been waiting until now. When can I leave?"
When Dong Xinghuai heard this, he was about to cry. He was so embarrassed by his own stupid boy. He was really unlucky for eight lifetimes to have such a son.
A forced smile appeared on Dong Xinghuai's face, he waved his fingers and said: "The dog is shapeless and bumped into His Highness. Your Highness taught you a good lesson. If Your Highness still doesn't forgive me, I will go home immediately, tie him up, and kneel to death outside the Meridian Gate."
, apologize to His Highness."
Zhu Cihong was a little speechless about Dong Xinghuai's despicableness. The Meridian Gate was the gate of his old Zhu family, and countless officials went there to attend court every day. How unbecoming was it to let his stupid son kneel and die there.
This soft knife made Zhu Cixiang feel disgusted. He waved his hand and said, "Just stay there!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Guang Shiheng again and said: "Guang Shiheng, what do you want to say about your son? Do you still want me to cut off my right hand to apologize?"
Guang Shiheng knelt there, frowning and saying nothing.
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Dong Xinghuai on the side came out and said: "Your Highness, what happened today is just a small misunderstanding. I hope Your Highness..."
"Asshole! Your son criticizes me behind my back and dares to threaten me in person. Your family's affairs are not over yet!" Zhu Cixiang pointed at Dong Xinghuai and shouted.
Dong Xinghuai shuddered and immediately closed his mouth, his face turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground with fright. To criticize and threaten the crown prince is to despise the royal family. Anyone who commits the crime of treason and disrespect will be executed.
, if it is serious, the family will be exterminated, and the nine tribes will be implicated!
Moreover, he also knew the methods of the crown prince. He was the one who killed the two eunuchs of the former Military War Bureau. It was said that they had died in the imperial edict. Dong Xinghuai decisively abandoned Guang Shiheng and stood obediently beside Zhu Cihong.
, and ordered all the government officials who came to disperse.
Zhu Cixiang looked at Guang Shiheng and said: "No matter how unbearable this palace is, it is still the foundation of the Eastern Palace. The emperor is judged by his ministers, and the subordinates are not superior. Is this the way of Gangchang? How do you discipline your son?"
At this time, Guang Heng's screams came from downstairs again. After Guang Shiheng heard it, anger surged in his heart again. He stood up and bowed to Zhu Cihong and said:
"I don't know if Quan Zi has criticized His Highness. I only know that His Highness ordered someone to throw Quan Zi downstairs and become disabled. I will report this matter to His Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make a decision. I am busy with official business and have to resign first!" Guang Shiheng was very embarrassed.
, after saying a few words, he stood up and left.
Seeing that Xu Sheng was about to drag him back, Zhu Cihong waved his hand and let Guang Shiheng leave. He knew that no matter what happened, he could not kill people in the street, as this would not have a good impact.
Looking at the background of Guang Shiheng's departure, Zhu Cixiang's eyes were cold and he said: "Threatening and threatening the royal family will be punished. Li Tingbiao, you take the Jin Yiwei to ransack this bitch's house. All the men will be executed and the women will be sent to prison."
Boji!"
Dong Xinghuai's heart trembled. This crown prince is really a ruthless person. He wants to kill everyone. Fortunately, he just abandoned Guang Shiheng.
Zhu Cixiang looked at Dong Xinghuai again and said: "I heard that all the Shuntian Prefecture Yin are hard-core, not afraid of power, and enforce the law impartially. Can a person like you be the Shuntian Prefecture Yin? Please submit your resignation yourself, otherwise I will
I don’t mind sending your son on the road for the crime of lese majeste!”
Dong Xinghuai's body trembled and he quickly knelt down to thank him.
On that day, a large group of Jinyi guards swarmed into Guang Mansion and immediately killed the men they saw. Even Guang Shiheng, who had returned to Guang Mansion with his son Guang Heng, was also beheaded on the spot.
The entire Guang Mansion was filled with blood and wailing, and it was too horrible to see. The Jin Yiwei led by Li Tingbiao all had expressionless faces, but they were a little excited in their hearts. After a few years, the evil reputation of their Jin Yiwei had once again flourished.
Li Tingbiao ransacked the Guang Mansion, but found tens of thousands of taels of silver. This made him speechless. He thought it was a big fish, but it turned out to be a rotten shrimp.
It's no wonder that Guang Shiheng had only been in the military for a few years, and he didn't have enough time to make money.
Even so, adding the charge of corruption is already a certainty. Tens of thousands of taels of silver, I am afraid that even if he has been an official for a hundred years, he will not be able to praise so much money.
On the afternoon of the day when the Guang Mansion was captured, many ministers cried outside the Meridian Gate, saying that the prince was immoral and was good at killing court officials. He was too young and had too much murderous intention, so he might not be a wise king in the future.
"Is it the Donglin Party?" After receiving the news, Zhu Cixiang was a little depressed. He didn't know who these ministers were, so he asked Li Tingbiao to investigate secretly.
An hour later, news came from Li Tingbiao that those who targeted the crown prince were not members of the Donglin Party, but were instructed by Wen Tiren.
After Wen Tiren learned that Guang Shiheng was "killed" in battle, he was a little depressed. The crown prince's "car" failed to hit him, and he also lost a "talking gun".
Wen Tiren had suffered a loss, so how could he give in easily? Taking advantage of the heat of the matter, he asked Tang Shiji, a horseman, to persuade the censors to go to the Meridian Gate Crying Palace and push a wave of troops.
Tang Shiji, as the censor of Zuodu, was the boss of those censors. With the order to go up to the peak, and the grudges at the porridge factory in front of the Tang Dynasty, he went to the Meridian Gate with a group of officials to stir up trouble that day.
Judging from the information sent by Li Tingbiao, it took Zhu Cixiang a long time to figure out the current situation in the court.
The Donglin Party represents the interests of the landowners and businessmen in the southeast. Although Zhu Cihong received money from wealthy businessmen, he was also a willing donor, which also improved the businessman's status in disguise. There was no need for the Donglin Party to open fire on him.
At this time, under the suppression of Wen Tiren in recent years, the Donglin Party is basically untenable in the court. Even Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, was imprisoned by Wen Tiren last year.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Donglin Party to attack him together with Wen Tiren, and they may have to stand on their own side when necessary.
Of course, don't think that Wen Tiren is a good person because he brought down the Donglin Party. Wen Tiren is just a mediocre person. He went to war with the Donglin Party mainly because Qian Qianyi and he were competing for the position of chief minister.
Damn it, it's just dog bite dog.
