Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was finally buried.
The reason why I use the word "finally" is because everyone, almost everyone in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, has a sword hanging in their hearts because of this sudden funeral.
This sword might fall off at some point and kill someone.
So the moment the Thousand Jin Stone of the Local Palace was closed, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
But more people, more people closer to the center, are completely opposite.
Because they knew clearly that an unprecedented storm was coming and was about to rage.
If the sword falls, the most people will be killed, but if the storm rages, countless people will be shattered to pieces.
~~
At the palace of Prince Zhou in the capital, suddenly heavy troops gathered.
All the servants and women in the mansion were kicked out and replaced by overbearing and unreasonable guards and officers and soldiers.
On the night when the old man was laid to rest, each of the vassal princes was escorted and imprisoned in various courtyards of the palace. Each person was imprisoned in a separate place, with three layers of guards inside, outside, and inside. They were not allowed to inform each other.
There was no possibility of them even talking to each other.
The long street outside the mansion has also become a restricted area, and anyone who approaches without reason will die.
In the neighboring houses, the rich and noble owners hurriedly moved out, for fear of being involved. Because on the night when the feudal princes were imprisoned, almost all the neighbors heard the feudal princes arguing and resenting each other all night long.
Vicious and even desperate curses and yells, as well as helpless cries.
~~
Early on the next morning, it had already sold well in the capital and became an indispensable item in everyone's hands. The front page of Yingtian Times showed murderous intent in the big black characters.
"Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, tried to impeach the King of Qi for being unfaithful and unfilial. Emperor Taizu Gao, in front of his body, roared and beat the ministers for no reason."
"King Ning impeached King Chu and King Qi for his unruly intentions, granted him credit privately, and tried to plot rebellion, showing his disobedience!"
"Fang Xiaoru, the scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Yan Zhenzhi, the imperial censor, Yang Jing, participated in the impeachment of several vassal kings, including the king of Chu, the king of Qi, and the king Guzi.
!”
For a time, both inside and outside the capital, and throughout the Ming Dynasty, all fell silent.
The emperor's attitude was extremely frightening. He first detained the vassal princes involved, and then sent censors to collect evidence. At the same time, he ordered each vassal prince involved to handle the incident, with the chief secretary acting as civil affairs officer and the commanding general acting as military affairs officer.
Moreover, the family members of the vassal kings involved were also sent to the capital to await their fate.
Not only in the imperial family, but also among the people, it is a very embarrassing scandal for a father to get into trouble with his son and beat him to a bloody head just after his death.
In the Tian family of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestor's body was not yet cold, but his children and grandchildren had already turned against each other.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor has raised his sword, and now it just depends on when the sword will fall!
~~
"Get up, I want to see the emperor!"
Outside the Qianqing Gate, Liao King Zhu Zhi glared at the second-class guard Yuan Xingye.
"Go away or not, believe it or not, I will slap you?" Anger flashed in Zhu Zhi's eyes.
Yuan Xingye, who was opposite him, didn't dare to look at him, but he didn't dare to step aside and let the prince in. He could only plead in a low voice, "Qiansui, it's not that I won't let you in. It's really my duty. Otherwise, you...
..”
Snap!
The two whips directly ripped out Yuan Xingye's exquisite Feiyu suit and pulled out two big strokes.
"You're the damn gatekeeper for my old Zhu family, and you still blame me? Get out of here!" Zhu Zhi's eyes were red and he was yelling.
"Chitose... Chitose!" Yuan Xingye was beaten and fled in embarrassment, "You beat me for no reason..."
"Ah ha!" This sentence directly aroused the fire of ignorance in Zhu Zhi's heart, "It's you I'm going to beat! I want to see if I can beat you to death today, the emperor can beat me..."
"Fifteenth Master!" Suddenly, a shout came from afar.
Deng Ping hurried over with his people, stood in front of him, and said with a smile, "Why are you so angry?"
Zhu Zhi glared at Deng Ping, "I want to see the emperor!"
"Long live the Lord's health!" Deng Ping whispered. "I fell ill on the day I came back from Xiaoling. I have been miserable for the past two days. I didn't see King Yan when he came in the morning, and King Han also blocked his way!
"As he spoke, he said with a smile, "Go back! I will send you a message later. Can I see you first when the emperor is well?" At this point, he whispered again, "Let's talk about the few people in Nan Shufang.
The ministers are all waiting for the emperor..."
As he spoke, he suddenly couldn't speak any more.
Because he saw that Liao Wang Zhu Zhi's eyes were surrounded by a layer of mist, and his whole person suddenly became aggrieved from the carefree state just now.
"What are you...?"
"The emperor can't see me, or doesn't want to see me, or doesn't want to see me!" Zhu Zhi choked, looking at the familiar palace, and said angrily, "I, the Zhu family, want to see their own emperor now, and we also want to see you.
What do these outsiders look like?"
As he said this, he felt even more angry when he thought of the tricks that the ministers had been trying to get these days, "There are so many traitorous ministers trying to stir up blood and family ties in my Tian family! Your Majesty, you are surrounded by villains..."
"Uncle Fifteen!" There was another shout, and Zhu Gaochi came running from a distance.
"My nephew from far away heard you scolding me here. This is the Qianqing Palace!" Zhu Gaochi stamped his feet and said helplessly, "Okay, don't get angry with them, and go with your nephew!"
"Where to go?" Zhu Zhi cursed, "If I don't see the emperor, I will die here..."
"Just to see the emperor!"
~~
In the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunxi was lying pale, with an ice-cold towel on his forehead.
After sending the old man away, he became really ill. As soon as he managed to return to the palace, his vision went dark and he fainted.
Anxious fire attacks the heart, and the heart is haggard.
He is also a human being, and his body will eventually be affected by emotions.
Moreover, as an emperor, he cannot vent his emotions at will.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Zhu Yunxi like this, Liao King Zhu Zhi's anger turned into worry, "Are you really sick?"
Zhu Yunxi's face was sallow, and he sat leaning on the quilt with the support of the eunuch, "Do you think I'm pretending to be sick?"
"I don't dare!" King Zhu Zhi of Liao lowered his head and said, "But you, what kind of trouble has been going on outside these days, and my brothers are all locked up. How do you want to deal with it? Can you tell the truth?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at him, "I heard you went there?"
Over there is where the feudal kings are imprisoned.
"I've gone!" Zhu Zhi frowned, "I'm not afraid of you punishing me. I'm going! I'm going to see my brothers!" As he spoke, he said with tears, "But He Guangyi and Er Yatou are both.
I'm a snobbery, I won't let you see me even if I break my throat."
"In the end, I asked Marquis Guo to explain the matter and let Ping Baoer clear the way, and then I said a few words to Brother Twelve through the window!"
Why did Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, become more confused as he got older? What did he get involved in?
A look of displeasure flashed across Zhu Yunxi's face, "Your father-in-law is very lenient. He cares more about our family's affairs than anyone else!" He said, "Let Wuding Marquis Guo Ying come over!" Then he looked at
Zhu Zhi, "What did you say to King Xiang?"
"I didn't say anything to the twelve other people, I just said a few words to the minister!" Zhu Zhi choked, "He said that he had never thought about rebellion, but he would definitely not stand idly by if the emperor wanted to kill other brothers for no reason.
But if his brothers try to rebel, he will never follow them."
"This sounds like a human saying!" Zhu Yunxi pouted.
Among these vassal kings, Zhu Yunxi actually likes Zhu Bai's character the most. I don't ask you, and you don't bully me. I won't get involved, but I won't protect myself in the face of brotherly love. I am a responsible person.
But Zhu Zhi's next sentence directly made Zhu Yunxi furious again.
"Brother Twelve also said that if you want to kill or behead the emperor!" Zhu Zhi said, "If you want to humiliate him and put a crime that is not his on his head, he would rather die!"
"Oh, he's still not convinced!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "Did you see what happened before Emperor Gao's death? Is it my fault?" He gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't seen that the old man had a will, I would have
We have treated them long ago, how could we wait until today!"
"You can cure them!" Zhu Zhi said immediately, "But how to cure them, can you leave it to me?" As he said, he cried silently, "You kill them, I can't control them, but I can provide them with a solution."
Send copies!”
"Bastard!" Zhu Yunxi slammed the table and sat up, "Uncle Fifteen, are you going to mess around too?"
"You are wrong about this matter!" Zhu Zhi looked into Zhu Yunxi's eyes, "I and you are of the same mind. You have known for a long time that when you were not the emperor, I would help you. But now, you just can't sit still
wrong!"
"My brothers' royal titles were given by my father, which is the ancestral rule of our Ming Dynasty. If you want to kill them, I have nothing to say. Even if you are dissatisfied, I will listen. But now, give up all their sons."
When people are brought to the capital, do you want to eradicate them?"
As he spoke, Zhu Zhi cried, "The purpose of ennobling a knight is to spread the branches of the Zhu family. If you do this, you are treating all the branches of the Zhu family as a thorn in your side. Your Majesty, do you also want me to write a letter begging you to withdraw my vassal?"

Plop!
Guo Ying, who had just walked outside the Qianqing Palace, heard this truth, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
