After listening to Zhu Huixun's words, Zhu Yinxi thought for a moment and then understood.
In fact, these vassal kings wanted to find a place.
If they really found enough evidence to show how wronged they were, it would be like saying that these local officials could bully them at will without losing face.
The reason Zhu Yinqi gave was just right, it could be used as an excuse, and it was not very persuasive, so it was just enough to demonstrate the strength of the kings.
Of course, the disadvantage is...
"Father, if this happens, everyone in the government and the public will see that we are deliberately trying to embarrass Yu Qian. Isn't this a bit of a risk?"
Seeing Zhu Huixuan picking up his pen and ink, preparing to add his name to the memorial sent by King Zhou, Zhu Yinxi couldn't help but look worried and said.
"I have heard in the capital before that Yu Qian has always been trusted by His Majesty. The last time King Yi gave him a hard time outside the city, nothing happened. However, when he arrived in the capital, he was forced to kneel for a long time."
"Now, if you follow these people to impeach him, will it make His Majesty unhappy? Moreover, even if it is successful, I am afraid that everyone in the court will be too."
After hearing this, Zhu Huixuan stopped writing, but only for a moment. He continued writing and wrote his name on the memorial. Then he took out his personal seal and printed it carefully.
After all this was done, he put together the memorials, handed them to Zhu Yinqi, and said.
"You still don't understand Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, Zhu Huixuan turned around from behind the desk, walked slowly forward in the room, and said.
"Your Majesty has a tolerant character, but this kind of benevolence is different from Renmiao."
"The magnanimity of Renmiao is tolerant and kind, and the magnanimity of Your Majesty lies in his ability to care about the world, his ability to truly sympathize with his subordinates, and his ability not to express his anger indiscriminately."
"Do you still remember that when Yu Qian recommended a group of military officials, everyone in the government and the public opposed it, feeling that Yu Qian's move was suspected of seizing power, but what about Your Majesty?"
Zhu Yinxi frowned and thought, but did not speak.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Huixun said.
"Not only is Your Majesty not guilty, but he also helped Yu Qian stabilize public opinion in the court. Such behavior cannot be explained by pure love."
"It is a fact that Yu Qian took power in the Ministry of War. The officials in the court impeached him at that time, and it was not a false accusation to frame each other. However, Your Majesty protected him because Your Majesty knew that the rectification of the army and the army would encounter great resistance."
"So, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it. If your Majesty wants to do something, you will give your subordinates enough understanding and support."
"The reform of religious affairs that I told you before was obviously handed over to the Ministry of Rites, but secretly, it was actually handed over to me and the Ministry of Rites to handle."
"This matter is not easy. Your Majesty knows this, so until now, he has not urged me. This is why my father is willing to accept this order."
"Otherwise, do you think this Chaotang Whirlpool is really a place to stay?"
To a certain extent, the personalities of father and son Zhu Yinxi and Zhu Huixuan are of the same origin. However, compared to Zhu Huixuan who has gone through all kinds of storms, Zhu Yinxi is certainly smart, but after all, he still lacks a lot of experience.
Therefore, he seemed to understand Zhu Huixun's words, but he was a little confused.
Zhu Huixun didn't care either and said.
"You will gradually understand in the future that only by following the right person can you do the right thing. Since this memorandum has been sent here, it is actually for my father to add it to it, saying that it needs to be submitted through the clan's mansion, who is the king of Zhou?
Is it time to be so disciplined?"
According to the system, the memorials of the kings must be submitted through the clan's mansion. At the beginning, King Lao Min also used this excuse to punish King Xiang.
However, thinking about it on the other hand, when King Xiang wanted to submit the memorial, the reason why he did not go through the Zongren Mansion was not because he forgot, but because this regulation was not used in this way at all.
The kings entrusted various places, but were not in the capital. Their status was different from that of ordinary civil and military ministers. Therefore, memorials and submissions could not be sent to the General Affairs Department like ordinary officials.
So this involves the issue of which yamen should pass on the memorials submitted by the kings. So to put it bluntly, this regulation is actually an issue between the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites.
But now that all the kings are in the capital and can directly meet the saint, this rule is actually unnecessary.
You must know that when the emperor first stayed in the palace, even the annual congratulations were sent directly to the palace without even going through the Ministry of Rites. However, everyone was used to it and no one jumped out to say anything illegal.
Therefore, when King Xiang was punished by King Lao Min in this way, he felt unwilling for a long time and felt that King Lao Min was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Returning to this memorial, Zhou Wangming said that it would be handed over to Zhu Huixuan and asked to submit it on his behalf.
But in fact, it was just to drag him into the water.
This outcome was already doomed from the moment he took Zhu Yinqi to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
Now that Zhu Yinxi has appeared, Zhu Huixuan cannot get away. If he repeats it at this time, not only will he not be able to get away, but he will appear inconsistent, which will make people laugh.
Slowly walking to the door, looking at the winter plum blossoms blooming in the corner, Zhu Huixuan continued.
"As for the dissatisfaction of the ministers in the court, it cannot be pointed at us, father and son. Don't forget that when we organized the military camp, your father and I fully supported it. With this in mind, those in the court want to take advantage of us.
There is nowhere to go if you let your anger out at home."
"What's more, your daughter-in-law has an unusual background. At least now, Jing'an Bo Mansion is still at its peak. In addition, I am in charge of the clan's mansion and am in the capital all the year round. I don't see those ministers when I look down.
, not so stupid..."
After hearing this, Zhu Yinqi's brows relaxed and he said.
"My father has thought carefully and my son understands."
"Um……"
Zhu Huixuan nodded slightly and continued.
"Nothing will happen to our family. As for the other princes, since they dare to provoke these court ministers and want to give them a blow, in the end, they will be afraid and will never dare to provoke the vassal king again, or they will die.
If you don't bow your head and fight back forcefully, it's the responsibility of these princes themselves."
At this point, Zhu Huixuan raised his head and looked at Zhu Yinxi, and suddenly changed the subject and said:
"What's more, our Zhu family's vassal king is not as weak as you think..."
"The King of Zhou is right in what he said. In the end, our Zhu family has to bear the responsibility of this world. The ministers in the court have opinions about the vassal king for more than a day or two. Just on matters such as Zong's affairs, the surname of the Ministry of Rites
Damn you, I care more about you than your father."
"However, as long as we, the Zhu family, still dominate the world, no matter how fierce the fight is, we will still have to go back to our fiefdom and live in peace. We have this escape route, but the ministers in the DPRK do not."
"So, everyone needs to be careful with each other and don't push too hard. If we really have to fight to the death, not many people can make this determination..."
…………
There are only a few days left before the New Year's Eve. Logically speaking, the court should be slowly relaxing these days, and this is indeed the case. However, although there is nothing going on in the court, there are various rumors in private.
Disturbing.
On one side is the case of the military government, on the other side is the official plan for the next year, and mixed with the news that the Ministry of Punishment has raided the residence of the detained general, as well as the news that the Ministry of Revenue may have to cut expenditures, and the Ministry of Rites is going to rectify the clan affairs.
As the New Year approaches, it is a time for ministers of civil and military affairs to develop friendships and establish relationships with each other.
Nowadays, rumors are spreading, which naturally makes the whole capital become lively.
However, underneath this excitement, most people are worried about their future. Although the court is peaceful now, it is conceivable that a surging undercurrent has gradually arisen.
In the cabinet, Yu Shiyue was sitting in a not-so-large public room, with a congratulatory form from the state capital in front of him, and seemed to be considering how to vote.
However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the master's mind has gone to nowhere.
There is nothing unusual about this congratulatory form, but half a stick of incense has been placed on Yu Cifu's desk. What is special is not the congratulatory form, but Yu Shiyue's mood.
For some reason, he always felt particularly uneasy today, and there was always a premonition that a storm was about to come.
The last time he was so upset was before he witnessed the attack on Xiangting.
Looking at the congratulatory note with half a stick of incense placed in front of his eyes but not even reading the first few lines, Yu Shiyue simply closed it and wanted to go out for some air.
"Master Jisuke..."
However, before he could walk out of the room, he met someone from Zhongshushe who came in from outside.
"The father-in-law has just come to the palace to deliver an oral message, announcing that you and the First Assistant have come to the palace to see you."
This sudden summons made Yu Shiyue feel more and more uneasy. He breathed out gently, calmed down and asked.
"But why did you tell me?"
"Returning to Mr. Cisuke, the person who came did not say what the matter was. He only said that it was an urgent call..."
Zhongshu Sheren was stunned, but still answered truthfully.
Seeing this situation, Yu Shiyue frowned and was about to ask again. At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Yu Cifu, something happened!"
As soon as the voice fell, the person had already stepped in. After seeing the person clearly, Yu Shiyue and the people from Zhongshushe beside him quickly raised their hands and said.
"Lord Chief Assistant..."
Wang Ao walked in from the door, but his expression was obviously ugly.
He walked straight to Yu Shiyue and said bluntly.
"Yu Cifu, just before the tea time, the other vassal princes in the ten princes' palaces handed over signs asking to see your majesty."
"Just a few days ago, King Zhou, King Yi, King Lu and other vassal kings gathered at the Tenth Prince's Mansion. The details are unknown, but it is said that it was for revenge on the military camp."
After hearing this, Yu Shiyue's heart suddenly sank and he asked.
"All the kings are here? Prince Min also..."
"Everyone's here."
Wang Ao nodded and said.
"The chamberlain who just came to deliver the oral message said that in addition to you and me, Your Majesty has also summoned Li Xian, Duke of Feng, Fan Guang, Bo of Jing'an, Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Shaobao of the Ministry of War to come together."
"What?"
Hearing this lineup, Yu Shiyue couldn't help but feel numb.
Nowadays, Jingning is on the border, and there is a lot of fighting in the grasslands, so there is a high probability that it will not be for military affairs.
Coupled with the news that various vassal kings have entered the palace, the emperor's intention of summoning these people at this time is obvious.
Duke Feng Guo and Hu Ming of the Ministry of Rites were both the oldest senior ministers in the court. As for Fan Guang, the Bo of Jing'an, he was related by marriage to the Prince Min's Palace.
These people, together with their two cabinet ministers, formed a lineup to break up the fight.
What kind of fight are you advising?
Of course it falls on Yu Qian!
All the kings came to see him at the same time, and the emperor summoned him so urgently, a look of worry flashed across Yu Shiyue's face...
It seems that what happened today is no small matter.
Although he had expected it in his heart, Yu Shiyue couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he arrived at the Wenhua Hall.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty..."
Yu Shiyue and Wang Ao saluted while quietly scanning the situation in the hall.
In the huge Wenhua Palace, the emperor was sitting at the top, with a rare look of helplessness on his face, and below were a bunch of vassal princes wearing royal robes.
King Min, King Zhou, and King Lu, all the older vassal kings, sat on their chairs with expressionless faces, saying nothing.
King Yi knelt in the palace, with runny nose and tears as if he was accusing something. The rest of the people, except King Dai who huddled aside silently and tried to reduce his presence, were the other King Qin, King Xiang, King Zheng, and Ning.
Wang and the others were all filled with righteous indignation, and their eyes almost wanted to burst into flames.
"... Your Majesty, who is humble and disrespectful, has repeatedly ordered people to injure the guards of my palace. He mobilized troops to surround the palace in the name of catching thieves. He made arrogant claims that it was my minister who was shielding me and slandered my innocent name. What kind of rampant person is this?"
"Even if I have done something wrong, I am still a member of the Tian family. Prince Fanping should be punished by your majesty. Why should I be humiliated like this?"
"I beg you, Your Majesty, to demote my ministers to the high walls of Fengyang to guard the tombs of our ancestors. It is better than to be embarrassed in this capital and bring shame to the clan."
King Yi burst into tears when he said these words, and he spoke with sincerity.
After the words fell, other kings also said one after another.
"Your Majesty, I have also been treated in this way in the fiefdom. Those subordinate staff, Yamen, and local officials have trampled on the majesty of the clan in order to do things for the court. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me and others."
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and others..."
The originally quiet Wenhua Hall suddenly became noisy. Several feudal princes were talking to each other, some were yelling, some were crying and making trouble, and there was no such thing as garbled words.
However, facing this situation, the emperor was obviously helpless. He first waved his hand to signal Yu Shiyue to let him stand up.
Then, the emperor helplessly turned to King Min and others aside and said.
"Uncle King Min, uncle King Zhou, and uncle King Lu, I have already said that there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. I have summoned Yu Qian and others into the palace to explain it in detail. If there is really an official who uses the story to cause trouble, I am sure
I will punish you severely, but you should calm down first, right?"
To be honest, this was the first time for Yu Shiyue and others to see such an emperor.
So, rolling around is really useful!
However, everything has its limit. Seeing the emperor giving the steps, King Min glanced at King Zhou. Then, King Zhou darkened his face and scolded the several vassal kings who were excited below.
"enough!"
"This is the palace. In front of His Majesty, how do you look like this?"
"Since Your Majesty has said that he will summon people to find out the truth and uphold justice, then when you wait for the people to come, explain the matter clearly. Isn't that enough shame for the dignified clan and vassal king?"
