After hearing what Jiao Jing said, Zhang Shi was immediately shocked.
He knew about the Zhengdan Banquet. One of the purposes of the Emperor summoning all the clans to Beijing this time was to establish his legitimacy in the hearts of the clans.
Therefore, worship and banquets at the great court are indispensable.
The Ministry of Rites has been preparing for this matter for a long time.
But he didn't expect that someone would dare to cause trouble on such an occasion.
Frowning, Zhang Xi said.
"These two people are really brave. At the Zhengdan banquet, not only the clan, but also all the civil and military officials are present. If they really sue their brother in public, then the Min Palace will be completely disgraced."
Zhang Fu also sneered and said.
"Not only the face of Prince Min, but also the face of the man on the throne will be completely disgraced. After all, the affairs of the clan are closely related to the royal family. If such a scandal occurs, no matter what, the face of his emperor,
There’s no glory in it.”
Zhang Xi nodded, this is true, but...
"It is said that they are not planning to make a fuss about the late Su?"
It is abnormal for these two people to be in the capital, under the emperor's feet, and to enter and leave the palace of the court ministers without attracting attention.
Zhang Xi also had his own sources of information, so he naturally had some knowledge of their purpose.
However, what Jiao Jing said seemed to be somewhat different from his news.
Hearing this, Zhang Fu said: "That's false news they deliberately released. Second brother, King Guangtong and King Yangzong are not as reckless and planless as they seem."
Jiao Jing also said: "Yes, Second Master, these two people are just trying to sue the King of Zhennan for forcing his concubine to death. In fact, what they really want to sue is the former Crown Prince of Min, Zhu Huiyan."
Zhang Min glanced at Jiao Jing and his third brother, and said hesitantly.
"Just because of this matter, the third brother and the prince-in-law probably don't need to call me back in such a hurry. By doing this, are you planning to interfere in this matter?"
Zhang Fu nodded, without covering up, and said frankly.
"Yes, I have discussed it with the Prince Consort and plan to help them both."
Zhang Xi was a little confused and said.
"Third brother, you don't have a fever, do you? You want to help those two notorious guys?"
King Guangtong and King Yangzong do not have a good reputation.
Although they are not full of evil, the series of ridiculous things they did in Prince Min's Mansion have long been regarded as gossip in the court and spread widely.
Most of the noble clan ministers in the court did not have a good impression of these two men.
What's more, what they are going to do this time is a Zhengdan banquet!
On such occasions, if such a scandal occurs, not to mention how angry the emperor will be, even the courtiers up and down the court will feel that they do not understand the general situation.
Therefore, Zhang Xi really couldn't figure out why his third brother, who had always planned everything, was so crazy that he wanted to help these two people.
Zhang Fu shook his head and said.
"Second brother, don't worry, I'm very sober. It's precisely because I'm sober that I can't let go of such an excellent opportunity!"
Zhang Fu became more and more confused. He was not good at thinking about these things, so he handed over the British government to Zhang Fu. Now that he said this, he felt that he couldn't understand it even more, so he asked directly.
"Third brother, stop being so pretentious and tell me clearly."
Zhang Fu was a bit dumbfounded. His second brother was very impatient.
After pondering for a moment, he asked.
"Second brother, do you still remember what the consort just said about what charges they plan to use to sue King Zhennan?"
Zhang Min subconsciously replied: "It's not about bribing envoys and framed elder brother..."
Halfway through his words, he also felt a hint of something.
He also knew some things about Prince Min's Mansion before.
The current King of Zhennan is not the legitimate heir to the Min Palace, he is just the second legitimate son.
The reason why he was able to become the new crown prince was that his eldest brother was so crazy that he wanted the late Renmiao to make a fuss and frame the King of Zhennan.
As a result, in the end, I got myself involved.
This matter could be described as a joke in the original court.
However, some people suspect that someone has tampered with it.
However, the prince himself has no ability to succeed as a king or lose as a bandit, so others will just treat this matter as a talking point.
But now, King Guangtong and King Yangzong have revealed this matter again. Is it possible?
Seeing Zhang Fu's vaguely understanding expression, Zhang Fu smiled.
"Second brother, I think I understand the connection. King Guangtong and King Yangzong have a grudge against King Zhennan for killing their mother. They both dream of bringing King Zhennan down."
"Because of this, they have been investigating the situation over the years. They never thought that they would actually find some evidence."
As he spoke, Zhang Fu said in a somewhat meaningful tone.
"Second brother, if this case is turned over, then King Zhennan, as the second son, is charged with murdering his eldest brother in order to seize the throne of King Min, which will be an opportunity for us!"
You must know that what they have been planning is to first welcome back the Supreme Emperor who is in Yibei.
But this matter cannot be brought up hastily.
It's not that they are afraid of what the person on the throne will think of them.
By now, various signs have shown that the palace has been aware of their actions.
But Zhang Fu was not afraid either.
At least until now, welcoming the Supreme Emperor back to the court is not a crime. On the contrary, it is a kind of political correctness.
Although the civil war caused dissatisfaction between the government and the public with the Supreme Emperor, the king of men is the king of men.
No matter what the Supreme Emperor has done, he is still the king of the Ming Dynasty.
With this level of status, no one dares to openly oppose welcoming him back, not even the one currently on the throne.
After all, in terms of superiority and inferiority, the Supreme Emperor is his elder brother. Once he openly opposes rescuing the Supreme Emperor from Yibei, it will be unethical!
Therefore, even if the palace knew that they wanted to welcome the Supreme Emperor back, they could not really use this as an excuse to do anything to them.
The foundation of the British government cannot be shaken so easily.
What Zhang Fu has been really worried about is that it is difficult to find this opportunity.
This person in the palace has now made it clear that he wants to deal with the Supreme Emperor's affairs coldly, neither saying he will welcome him back nor saying he won't welcome him back.
I'm afraid I've been thinking that the Emperor would do something in Yibei for a long time.
Moreover, what makes Zhang Fu even more uneasy is...
During the recent period, Shen Yi from the Ministry of Revenue has been very restless and has been contacting courtiers everywhere. It is said that he is plotting to open up mutual markets.
Judging from the information Zhang Fu received, the Ministry of Revenue is inclined to be open to Tuotuo Buhua.
After all, during the Battle of Wala, Tuotuo Buhua showed considerable sincerity to the Ming Dynasty.
But in this case, the Supreme Emperor will inevitably be put in danger.
Ye Xian and Tuo Tuo Buhua are mortal enemies, especially in this battle, Tuo Tuo Buhua stabbed Ye Xian in the back, which directly led to Ye Xian's defeat.
According to the news coming from the Ministry of War these days, things are not peaceful on the grassland these days.
Zhang Fu was very worried that the mutual trading incident would be the trigger for Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and Ye Xian to fall out completely.
Once it really develops to this point, then the last layer of Ye Xian's worries will disappear when Ming Dynasty has formed an alliance with Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
I'm afraid he will really kill the Supreme Emperor!
So Zhang Fu has been very anxious these days. He knows that he can no longer wait.
Every day that passes, the situation of the Supreme Emperor becomes more and more dangerous.
But if you want to bring up this matter rashly in the court, it is not a good idea. If the palace man randomly sends two people there, it may have the opposite effect.
To do this, we need to stir up enough trouble in both the government and the public.
When everyone's eyes are fixed on this matter, the one in the palace will be under pressure and actually send a team with enough sincerity to welcome the Supreme Emperor back.
And now, the matter between the two kings of Guangtong, in Zhang Fu's view, is an excellent opportunity.
The second son plotted for the throne and murdered his eldest brother.
How similar is this situation to today’s situation?
Once this case is overturned and King Zhennan is proven guilty, the government and the public will naturally think of it.
This kind of thing happens in the clan, so is the current emperor, like King Zhennan, deliberately murdering his brother for the sake of the throne?
At that time, as long as there is a little operation, in the face of the pressure from the government and the public, in order to prove his innocence, the emperor will have to welcome the emperor back!
Zhang Xi also understood, his eyes lit up, and he said.
"That's right, third brother, you've thought it through carefully. In that case, what do you need me to do?"
Zhang Fu leaned forward and said to Jiao Jing and Zhang Shi.
"My plan is..."
