Chapter 289: Prepare to close the net

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 After the Zhengdan Festival is over, the tasks of the elders for this year are truly over. What follows is a "long" two-day holiday.

There is no way, the system left by Emperor Taizu only has three days of annual leave, from New Year's Eve to the third day of the first lunar month.

Originally, although there was a Zhengdan Dynasty in between, it was usually just a formality.

But who could have predicted that so many major events would happen one after another on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day this year.

Although the banquet is over, the elders all have a premonition that after the imperial court opens the seal on the third day of the first lunar month, there will definitely be a big disturbance in the imperial court.

Of course, no matter how worried you are, you still can't delay the exchange of favors and old friends during the New Year.

Therefore, various houses and houses are still lively and lively, with frequent exchanges.

In fact, because of what happened in the past two days, the movement between many mansions has become much more frequent than in previous years.

With the seal of the imperial court, the emperor Zhu Qiyu finally had time to take a good rest.

However, even at this time, there were still people running around, such as Admiral Dongchang and Eunuch Shu Liang who were wounded in battle.

As the emperor's eyes and ears, he is responsible for monitoring the movements of the capital. During the Chinese New Year, Dongchang not only cannot rest, but also has to be even more attentive.

You must know that at this time, each family's movements, whether they are talking alone or having a banquet, are all very important information.

The days passed by day by day, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

But what surprised the elders was that the court was still peaceful, without any disturbance.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the Tatar leader Tuotuobohua sent an envoy to come to Ming Dynasty for peace talks.

According to military reports coming from the border, the mission will almost arrive in Beijing in half a month.

The Tatars represented by Totuobuhua actually belonged to the old Yuan forces. Therefore, Tatars and the Ming Dynasty have maintained a hostile relationship over the years.

This time Tuotuo Buhua took the initiative to send a mission. Although it was called peace talks, it was actually a disguised display of weakness.

This has to be said to be good news for Daming.

The sky gradually darkened. Shu Liang, dressed in a dark blue cotton robe, walked into Qianqing Palace softly and said.

"My slave, please pay your respects to your Majesty. Everything you ordered has been completed."

Seeing the emperor's eyes sweeping over, Shu Liang continued to explain.

"The news that should be spread has been spread. In addition, the servants have also sent people over to Wugang to bring the people back quickly. If everything goes well, they will be able to reach the capital within half a month."

These days, Shu Liang, the admiral of the East Factory, has been very busy.

Since it was found out in advance that King Guangtong and others wanted to make an issue against the former Prince of Min, it was of course impossible for Zhu Qiyu to do anything.

The reason why he allowed King Guangtong and others to cause trouble was to find opportunities to promote religious studies.

Now it seems that the effect is still very good.

The current imperial court of the Ming Dynasty is still operating very quickly.

After the imperial edict was printed at the Zhengdan Banquet, it began to be gradually implemented one by one.

Zongxue is no exception.

Logically speaking, this matter is a clan affair and should have been the responsibility of the clan government.

However, the Zongren Mansion has always been run by senior relatives, while the teachers responsible for teaching Zongxue have to be selected from the Hanlin Academy.

Naturally, they would not be willing to let these scholars, Huaxuan, serve under their distinguished relatives.

Not only were they unwilling, but the civil servants in the court were also dissatisfied.

So, after some debate, the matter finally fell to Mr. Hu Hui from the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, part of the reason for this is because Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao did not focus his energy on this.

Moreover, due to Chen Mao's behavior at the banquet, many clan members did not have a good impression of him.

Hu Hui is a smart person who knows what to do.

Although the emperor mentioned at the banquet that he would put aside religious studies for the time being, the matter fell into his hands and he treated it as if nothing had happened.

How to promote religion is how to promote it.

In less than half a month, preliminary plans have been made for site selection, personnel, specific admission criteria, and content, and have been submitted to the emperor's imperial court.

The clan members were watching a big banquet, and the most senior King, Old Min, was suddenly made ill by his bastard sons, and he has not recovered yet.

Therefore, they naturally had no shame in talking about the clan's obedience to laws and filial piety, so they just got off the road obediently and said nothing more about clan affairs.

Of course, although they acquiesced to the establishment of Zongxue, the resentment in their hearts did not disappear. Instead, it converged on Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao and Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng.

Logically speaking, after the banquet is over and the clan members have paid homage to the emperor, they should pack up and prepare to return to their fiefdom.

But this time, the middle and low-level clans gradually left in batches, but many princes and princes came to their own offices and asked to attend the case of King Zhennan.

At the same time, they also impeached Marquis Cheng'an as an important official of the imperial court for interfering in clan affairs without authorization and plotting evil intentions.

In addition, some people directly went to the book to impeach Guo Sheng for colluding with the clan and deliberately protecting King Guangtong.

Of course, they were all just speculating, and they were mostly venting their grievances.

Although it was a blind cat that met a dead mouse, because there was no evidence, both King Guangtong and King Yangzong were imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion Prison, and no one could contact them.

Therefore, when the memorial reached the imperial court, it was naturally shelved.

But this is not what the clan is concerned about. What they are really concerned about is the case of King Zhennan.

They don't care whether King Zhennan really slandered Renmiao, nor do they care how the concubine in Prince Min's palace died.

All they want is that this case is a false accusation!

In this way, they could justifiably impeach Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao, who advocated a thorough investigation, for making a fuss out of a molehill because a mere false evidence revealed the scandal of the clan many years ago.

You know, it was the late emperor who handled the case of Crown Prince Min back then.

If this case is retried and it is ultimately found to be an unjust case, then that's it, it can be regarded as bringing order out of chaos.

But if it is found out that there were no problems in the trial at that time, then Wang Guangtong and others made false accusations.

The clan had something to say about Chen Mao, a man who advocated a retrial and insisted on involving Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, causing a commotion.

Anything that insults the late emperor's sanctity, anything that deliberately covers up, or anything that disrupts the affairs of the court, all the big hats have been prepared for him.

This is also the biggest reason why the clan members insist on staying.

The establishment of Zongxue was rooted in the Emperor. They knew this in their hearts, but even if they knew it, they did not dare to vent their resentment on the Emperor.

As for the two unfortunates, King Guangtong and King Yangzong, no one can see them for the time being.

Therefore, Cheng'an Marquis Guo Sheng and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao became the punching bags of the clan.

The princes of Lao Zhu's family are trying hard to teach them a lesson!

As for Zhu Qiyu, Zongxue was successfully implemented, and the case of King Guangtong became his concern.

The British government's intention was very clear, which was to establish that King Zhennan had framed Zhu Huiyan, the eldest brother of a compatriot, to death for the sake of becoming the heir apparent.

This incident led to the relationship between the emperor and the emperor.

After all, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen also ascended to the throne one after another, and the Supreme Emperor has not yet been welcomed back.

If the case of King Zhennan is confirmed, then with a little guidance, the two things can be connected.

For example, some rumors were released to compare Zhu Huiyan's experience with that of the Supreme Emperor. They were both eldest brothers. After Zhu Huiyan was deposed from the throne, he died in depression. The Supreme Emperor has now retired from the throne, but has not been welcomed for a long time.

Answer, then Zhu Huiyan’s fate will be the same as that of the Supreme Emperor in the future.

For another example, the King of Zhennan seems to respect his eldest brother, care for his younger brother, be benevolent and polite, and has a good reputation in the clan. However, in fact, he is a man who will do whatever it takes to gain the throne and can even frame his eldest brother.

.

Well, our current emperor, looking at the wise and powerful emperor, keeps saying that he respects his elder brother, the emperor, but in fact? Who knows whether secretly he is like the King of Zhennan, hoping that his brother will die early in Yibei so that he can continue to dominate

Holding the throne.

Nowadays, in the huge Min Palace, because of the heir apparent, the family has been destroyed, and several brothers are like enemies. Is this scene going to happen again in the Tian family?

There is also King Guangtong and King Yangzong. If the case is confirmed, then it is not a crime for the two of them to fight first, disrupt the palace banquet, and then offend the most favored Admiral Dongchang around the emperor in order to enter the palace to express their love.

On the contrary, ah, taking such risks is all out of passion, to complain for the elder brother and to uphold justice.

So as a courtier, the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, who stood up at this time and advocated bringing the Supreme Emperor back, was he also under pressure and dedicating himself to justice?

It can be said that as soon as the case of King Zhennan is settled, these rumors will spread throughout the capital immediately.

When rumors spread, Zhu Qiyu had to immediately take back the Supreme Emperor in order to prove that he was not the same person as King Zhennan who expected his elder brother to die early for the sake of the throne. No matter how much price he would ask for this, he could not

hesitate.

Even if Zhu Qiyu didn't do it himself, the Dukes of the imperial court would force him to do it.

The emperor is the model for all people and the foundation of the imperial court.

With a vivid example like the King of Zhennan, if under the guidance of thoughtful people, the people of the world equated the emperor with the King of Zhennan, then how could they surrender to such a man who even their eldest brother expected

Looking at the emperor who died young?

If the king and father are unfilial and disloyal, how can the ministers be loyal and righteous?

In a sense, the emperor's reputation, especially the reputation related to this kind of ritual sequence, is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold!

Under such circumstances, only by bringing back the Emperor can we prove that the Emperor is not the person who, like the King of Zhennan, looks forward to the early death of his eldest brother as the rumors say.

Once it really reaches that point, everyone will be forced to speak the same voice.

Zhu Qiyu naturally did not want this situation to occur.

Therefore, it should be said that King Zhennan’s original plan was a mistake and was not wrong.

The case must not be overturned!

If Zhu Huixun had indeed made a false accusation, then he was the one to blame, not Zhu Huixuan, his younger brother, who was plotting to frame him. King Zhennan was still the wise king who cared for his younger brother and had a benevolent and righteous demeanor.

King Guangtong and King Yangzong are not righteous men who uphold justice and dare to take risks. They are just two clowns with personal grudges.

Naturally, no one would take this matter to stir up trouble in the court.

Knowing their plan, Zhu Qiyu naturally could not just sit back and wait for death.

Of course the evidence in their hands is true, and it must be true. Otherwise, how could it be worth those people's bets?

No one will participate in a bet that is likely to lose at first glance.

A truly smart banker makes everyone who enters the game feel like they can win!

But they ignore one thing, that is, the reason why something is true is because everyone believes it to be true.

If everyone doubts whether it is fake, then even if it is true, it is still a fake!

This half month seems calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent.

Although Zhu Qiyu did not directly intervene in this case, Shu Liang has been busy these days.

Now, the nets have been cast down and the bait has been set, but I don’t know how many fish can be attracted to bite...
