"Old Thirteen, you...you bastard!"
After King Zhu Gui stepped down, King Zhu Chun of Shu stamped his feet and shouted.
"Why did Chitose beat the court minister?"
The officials from the Ministry of Rites who followed Li Zhigang suddenly started making a loud noise.
At the same time, with a shout, many crying civil servants from the other side of the mourning hall also gathered around. The crowd was excited for a while, and they shouted in unison.
"Does Chitose still have national laws in his eyes? How can he be so rude?"
"Shilang Li is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can he fight with fists and kicks!"
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
Since ancient times, kings and scholar-bureaucrats have ruled the world together. Ministers are helpers to the king, not domestic slaves who can be beaten and scolded at will. Even if the emperor wants to punish the ministers, he must find a suitable reason.
What's more, it's not just a vassal king who is taking action now! Zhu Gui, the acting king, is like poking a hornet's nest.
"The king is so rude for a thousand years, how can he treat our ministers as inhumane?"
"I have never heard of a vassal king beating a minister in public in all the Xia dynasties!"
"On the side of the mourning hall of Emperor Taizu Gao, the king, as a human son, did not care about filial piety and brotherhood, but instead beat his officials. What is the reason?"
Officials one after another stood up and accused the acting king Zhu Gui with righteous indignation.
Zhu Gui was originally a hot-tempered, hard-nosed person, but when he was questioned by these people, his anger suddenly rose.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and cursed, "The dog has rebelled against you? What's wrong with me just beating him?" As he said that, he looked sideways at Li Zhigang, who was lying on the ground wailing over there, and continued to sneer, "Huh! Minister of the imperial court, he
It’s just a dog raised by my Zhu family!”
Suddenly, there was a deathly silence all around.
These words are simply... simply appalling. Even Emperor Sui Yang dared not say such a thing, comparing his ministers to royal dogs!
"What are you doing here, are you going to be rude to Brother Thirteen?" Zhu Su, the king of the valley, pointed at the ministers and shouted, and then shouted to Li Zhigang, "Get up quickly and don't pretend to be dead, Thirteen didn't even try hard!"
, sweeping the crowd with cold eyes, "He deserves to be beaten. Ask him what he said. You are the one to blame!"
"Chitose is full of nonsense and arrogant words!" an official from the Ministry of Rites loudly shouted, "It was obviously you who made the noise in the first place, and only then did Li Shilang come out to dissuade you. It's fine that you, Chitose, didn't listen to the advice. He first verbally abused you, and then directly took action...
..”
"enough!"
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, and when everyone turned around they saw that it was indeed Xie Jin, the Minister of the South Study Room and a great scholar.
With a straight face, Xie Jin walked through the crowd, walked straight to Li Zhigang, and whispered, "Yi Xing?" After saying that, he bent down to help the other person, "Get up quickly, do you need to call the imperial doctor for you?"
Afterwards, Xie Jin waved to the ministers again, "Now that we've dispersed, what's the appearance of everyone gathered here?"
Li Zhigang's body was shaking violently, his face was like gold paper, full of shame and anger.
Yes, he is a utilitarian person.
Yes, he is an official fan.
Yes, he is an unscrupulous person.
But he is also a scholar, a scholar who has never been so humiliated.
"Xiaguan Hanchuang studied hard for twenty years, and was nominated for two Jinshi Golden Halls!" Li Zhigang choked with tears and said, "Rolling outside the Donghua Gate, conferring officials in the Fengtian Hall, eating the salary of the Ming Dynasty king, planning for the country and the country. Serve.
Two generations of emperors have worked hard for more than ten years and have a good official reputation. But today, the Thirteenth Master calls him the Zhu family's dog!"
"The king is a thousand years old, you are going too far!" Li Zhigang shed two lines of tears, crying and roaring, "Why do you insult me with a thousand years old?"
These words caused the civil servants to look at Zhu Gui angrily again. Maybe Li Zhigang was not that good among the officials. But he was also a member of the civil servants. If the king can treat him like this today, other vassal kings can treat others like this tomorrow.
officials.
"Insult you? If you don't beat me diligently, you won't be able to beat me!" Zhu Gui, the acting king, said with his eyes crossed, "I'm going to beat you, a poor guy who doesn't have a lot of eyesight!"
"You..." Li Zhigang cried loudly, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
With that said, he pushed Xie Jin away and shouted, "I... I will die to make my determination clear!"
Then, in full view of everyone, everyone was screaming and suddenly bent over and hit the wall like crazy.
"enough!"
When everyone was stunned, an iron hand grabbed Li Zhigang like a chicken.
It was none other than King Zhu Di of Yan.
"Have you had enough trouble?" Zhu Di shouted and threw Li Zhigang directly to Jie Jin.
Jie Jin quickly hugged him and whispered, "Yixing, listen to me, calm down first, the overall situation is the most important thing!"
"I..." Li Zhigang burst into tears and wailed, "What kind of dignity do I have to survive?"
Xie Jin leaned into Li Zhigang's ear and said, "Okay! Don't make the scene unstoppable!"
Suddenly, Li Zhigang's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, the anger in his heart was genuine.
But the scene just now did have some elements of performance.
When it comes to acting, if he overacts, he may end up unlucky not only to others, but also to himself!
Zhu Di walked up to Zhu Gui and said coldly, "Apologise!"
Zhu Gui disdainfully asked, "To whom?"
"Of course it's for Minister Li!" Zhu Di was trembling with anger. If it had been a few years earlier, he would have taught this ignorant brother a lesson, but things are different now.
"Give it to him?" Zhu Gui laughed mockingly, "In my whole life, neither my father nor I have ever been soft-hearted. Apologize to him? I'm dreaming!"
"You...you..." Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, was shocked and angry. He staggered and said, "Old Thirteen, go and apologize!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth brother is doing this for your own good!"
"Then thank you!" Zhu Gui sneered.
"How good is it to help an outsider train your younger brother?" Valley King Zhu Su also sneered at the side, "It's so fresh!"
"You two..." Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore and became furious.
"What are you doing here?" Another voice shouted angrily from outside.
The civil servants retreated in a panic. Zhang Zhen, the Minister of Household Affairs, Hou Yong, the Minister of Rites, and Fang Xiaoru, a great scholar, and others came over with cold expressions.
Fang Xiaoru looked at Li Zhigang, then at the vassal kings, then at the group of civil servants, and frowned deeply.
"Emperor Daxing was so rude before his death? Have your books been read into the dog's belly?" Fang Xiaoru angrily shouted, "The emperor will deal with the crimes committed by the king. You are guarding the mourning in your place, but you still have loyalty and filial piety in your eyes."
Two words?"
Hou Yong, the Minister of Personnel, also had a cold face, "Everyone, please return to your desk!" He glanced at several vassal kings and said, "My Ming Dynasty has ancestral rules, don't you know?"
Listening to the words, the two of them spoke one after another and directly determined the identity of your lord's acting king.
First of all, it is against the law to beat a minister.
Secondly, the king has his own national laws to deal with, so everyone should not make a noise.
But the vassal kings seemed not to hear what they were saying. The acting king Zhu Gui continued to sneer and taunt, "What a loud tone, you are Da Ming? Da Ming belongs to my family, only us men can call me Da Ming!"
"It's gone, it's gone!" Fang Xiaoru glanced at him again, turned back and said to the civil servants, "Everyone, don't make any mistakes!"
"What Academician Fang said is true!" Yan Zhenzhi, the imperial censor of the Imperial Guard, also said, "Everyone, please be patient!"
Afterwards, these high-ranking officials persuaded the dissatisfied civil servants to leave, leaving the feudal princes still where they were.
The king of the generation, Zhu Gui, opened his mouth and said, "These plagued scholars are just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"
Zhu Di looked at him, snorted and walked away.
"Old Thirteen, you are too reckless!" Zhu Xi stood beside Zhu Gui at some unknown moment, "You have such a straightforward temper!"
"Fifth brother, it's not like you don't know that I've had this temper since I was a child, and I can't tolerate sand in my eyes!" Zhu Gui raised his head, "I would rather break than bend, let alone these plagued scholars, even my father has never spoken about me!"
Suddenly, King Zhu Bai of Xiang opened his mouth and said, "Thirteenth brother, my father loves you, but don't forget that the one who is in charge now is not your father!"
Suddenly, everyone around was stunned.
"So what?" Zhu Gui was not afraid at all, "Even if I am a coward, I can still fall behind, okay?" He said, looking at King Xiang, "When did Brother Twelve become so timid?"
"Didn't you hear what Seventh Brother said? They are going to cut off the vassal!" Zhu Su, the king of the valley, was shouting from the side, "If our brothers don't show some temper, they really think we are easy to bully!" Then he looked at Zhu Bai and said, "Twelve
Brother, let me ask you, if I really bully you, can you bear it?"
"It's really bullying, of course I can't bear it! But now, are you being bullied?" Zhu Bai looked at him and said angrily.
Immediately, Zhu Bai looked at Zhu Zhen and said, "Sixth brother!" Then looked at Zhu Shu and said, "Seventh brother!"
Then he looked at Zhu Xi and said, "Fifth brother!"
Then, he said very seriously, "Are you really going to take all the brothers into the ditch?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhu Zhu said angrily, "I have good intentions..."
"Your kind intention is that brothers are so angry right now that they have lost their sense of control and are confused!" Zhu Bai looked at him, "Your kind intention is that Brother Six cannot listen to anything and Brother Seven has crossed the line!"
After saying that, he paused and continued to look at Zhu Rui, "As for the incident with Old Thirteen just now, do you think that person... will pass by easily?"
