Prince Xiang's mind was a little confused, but the other ministers couldn't help but shake their heads.
In today's court, it is generally recognized that there are two people who should not be messed with.
One is Wang Wen, and the other is Yu Qian.
The former is because he has extremely strong fighting power and controls the selection of officials. Behind the scenes, he has the emperor's connivance intentionally or unintentionally. He has full taunting skills and is invincible in court.
Maybe someone can fight with him, but absolutely no one can fight with him!
As for the latter, that pure thing is the emperor's treasure. In the whole court, only the emperor can scold him, and if he scolds him, he will scold him to death. However, if anyone else touches it, they will be beaten by the emperor.
.
Therefore, the consensus in the court for a long time is that it is okay to discuss government affairs with two people, but it should not involve personal attacks, let alone excessive impeachment, otherwise, the consequences will not be good.
Although Prince Xiang has been in the capital for a short period of time, he has never really participated in government affairs, and he is not familiar with the key points involved. Naturally, it is not surprising that he ran into the emperor's gun.
Now that the emperor has spoken, naturally there will no longer be a place for Prince Xiang in the palace.
Seeing the two chamberlains coming forward and respectfully leading Prince Xiang down to the palace, Yu Qian's eyes narrowed and he spoke.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The emperor frowned and did not speak. However, the two chamberlains on the side stopped and stood beside him.
So, Yu Qian bowed his hands and then came to King Xiang and said.
"The prince is right. The occupation of land involves many clans. Not only the vassal kings, but also the princes of counties, generals and other clans are all involved. As the prince said, not only Xiangfan, but Minfan also has a large amount of land.
Regarding the occupation, the Ministry of War also has evidence documents, but Yu did not produce them. As for the reason..."
Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Qian took out a document from his sleeve and said.
"This is an official document submitted by Wugang Prefecture just before Yu entered the palace. Your Majesty may wish to take a look at it!"
A suspicion came to Prince Xiang's mind, and his body suddenly became stiff.
The chamberlain on the side was very discerning, took the official document, unfolded it and put it in front of Prince Xiang.
With a gentle sweep, Prince Xiang's eyes suddenly widened. Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Huixun, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Although many of the ministers present roughly guessed the truth about this scene, they could not see clearly because they were too far away, which made them a little itchy and unbearable.
So, at this time, Zhu Huixun on the side finally stopped watching indifferently, stepped forward and spoke to the emperor, cupping his hands and saying:
"Your Majesty has learned clearly that I have been blessed by His Majesty's heavenly grace and succeeded to the throne of King Min. I have thought about repaying our country day and night, tossing and turning."
"As a vassal king, who serves as a minister of the imperial court, receives support from all the people, enjoys the honor of the king, and gets the property of the fief, he should be responsible for the country and cultivate his moral character. However, the Min King has accumulated many shortcomings, and it cannot be accomplished in a day.
get rid of."
"After I took charge of Min Fan, I immediately sent a message and ordered the servants in the mansion to check the account books and yellow books in the mansion, and try my best to cooperate with the imperial court to clean up the land."
"The hard work pays off. Half a month ago, I finally received a letter. Over the years, those who used the banner of my father to annex land and occupied the land have been dealt with. All the account books have been handed over to the local government. According to the imperial court,
Big political deal."
"I didn't dare to submit it rashly before the official document arrived. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
As soon as the words fell, a wave of discussions immediately arose.
Many elders looked at Zhu Huixun with a little more admiration in their eyes.
This Prince Min is really willing to make a fortune!
Although the Min vassal was changed several times due to the strange temperament of the old King Min in his early years, it was still an old vassal after all.
After so many years, the accumulation of Min Fan will not be worse than that of Xiang Fan. Although Wugang is not as good as Xiangyang, it is still a huge fortune.
Now, in order to bring down Prince Xiang, Prince Min threw him out without blinking an eye.
And more importantly, it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision that was forced to be announced, but had been prepared for a long time and was a foregone conclusion. It was just for today that we made such a huge investment.
With such determination and scheming, what could Prince Xiang do to fight with him...
The ministers below looked at King Min with different expressions. Only Shen Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, looked sad, as if there was a dark cloud floating above his head.
Dai Fan and Min Fan are both willing to spit out the land they have occupied over the years. This is of course a good thing, but if you listen carefully to what they say, you will notice.
Whether it was the letter from the king or what King Min just said, they all said that the matter should be handled "according to the imperial government's policies".
How to dispose of it? Of course, the Ministry of Household Affairs will redeem it...
Even if King Dai and King Min were careful and didn't submit all of the two vassals, they would still have at least four to five thousand hectares of land in total.
Well, where can he get so much money...
However, the prince of the clan is different from the ordinary generals and nobles. For the latter, it is not difficult to settle accounts after the fall. But for these clan members, it will be fine if they don't settle the accounts with him!
It is difficult for the emperor to pay for such important national affairs.
Sad people...
No one cared about Shangshu Shen's melancholy. Reorganizing the military garrison was a major event that benefited the country and the people. Now that Dai Fan and Min Fan took the initiative to report it, they set an example for the kings.
Not to mention two vassals, even if there are more vassals, as long as they can be reported, the court will have to eat it!
The official document was waved in front of King Xiang, and then submitted to the imperial case. The emperor glanced at it briefly, and finally smiled and said.
"It is indeed a blessing to my Zhu family that my uncle King Min and Uncle Dai Wang have such intentions. They can set an example for the clan members. I will give King Min and his son Dai Wang ten huks of pearls, a hundred taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of brocade."
"I will thank you, Your Majesty."
As Zhu Huixuan and Zhu Chenglian stepped forward to receive the order to thank them, the scene suddenly became weird.
On the one hand, King Xiang offended the emperor and was dismissed from his official position and banned from the ten princes' palaces. On the other hand, the emperor Long Yan was very happy and generously rewarded the Min Palace and Dai Wang Palace.
These two completely different atmospheres appeared in the Wenhua Palace at the same time, which was as awkward as it was possible.
Prince Xiang just watched the two of them go up to receive the reward, his face turned red with anger, but he had no choice.
At this point, he had to admit that Zhu Huixuan was too thoughtful and he had almost filled in all the loopholes.
Especially what Zhu Huixun just said, even the last opportunity for King Xiang to launch an attack was blocked.
What he said was that he had just taken over the Min Mansion. The implication of his words was that he had not reported it before. It was not that he deliberately refused to report it, but that the Min Mansion was not his decision, so many things were not clear. I picked it myself and it was clean.
If King Xiang wants to continue to hold the Min government accountable, then he can only blame the deceased old King Min.
But what can be blamed on a dead person?
When Zhu Huixun and his two men retreated into the distance, Yu Qian looked at King Xiang and spoke again, saying.
"Prince Xiang, please rest assured that since Yu has been entrusted by His Majesty to take charge of organizing the military camp, he will enforce the law impartially and treat everyone equally. There will be no favoritism. Your Majesty can... wait and see!"
These last four words were spoken by King Xiang just now, but when they were spoken from Yu Qian's mouth now, their meanings were obviously different.
In King Xiang's mouth, these words were mockery and questioning, but when it came to Yu Qian, they carried an aura of indomitable force.
King Xiang obviously did not expect that under such circumstances, Yu Qian would make such a statement.
For a moment, he actually felt that he felt ashamed in front of Yu Qian. However, just a moment later, King Xiang felt ashamed and annoyed that he had such a feeling.
Looking up at Yu Qian's firm and clear face, he said.
"What a great Yu Qian. In that case, I'll wait and see!"
After saying that, King Xiang flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode out of the palace gate.
However, when he was about to leave the hall, he vaguely heard another sound coming from the hall, which made his body stiffen.
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching King Xiang for being disrespectful and retreating without telling me. This is a crime of great disrespect. Your Majesty, please punish him severely..."
Therefore, not long after, King Xiang, who had been confined in the Ten Princes' Mansion, naturally received another edict of reprimand.
However, that is all a story for later.
With the departure of King Xiang, this political action initiated by Zongxue disciples with the goal of overthrowing King Xiang came to a successful end.
Of course, there are still some problems in the follow-up. For example, this group of disciples gathered outside the palace gate without permission to ask for an audience. Even if they are not severely punished, they must always be reprimanded...
For another example, regarding the improvement of the Dengwen Drum system, King Min took advantage of a loophole this time, but it is not an option if this continues. Last time he went to the British government, it was still an injustice, but this time the King of Min struck the Dengwen Drum.
Drumming is purely for political purposes.
All the ministers knew very well that Zhu Huixuan's so-called fear that King Xiang would stop the memorial, so the reason for beating the Dengwen drum was just a cover.
His real purpose in doing this was to make the matter bigger and make it known to everyone, so that he could cooperate with Zongxue and overthrow King Xiang together.
Many ministers even secretly speculated in their hearts that the religious student who committed suicide by cutting his pulse today might have been arranged by King Min.
And there is...
After the impromptu meeting was over, Yu Shiyue returned to the cabinet to handle some urgent business, and rushed to the Ministry of War without leaving the office.
However, what surprised him was that this time he missed the target.
Not only was he in vain, but the Lang Guan of the Ministry of War also told him that after his Lord Shangshu came back from the palace, he only gave a few words and went directly back to the mansion.
In other words, workaholic Yu Shaobao... skipped work!
Yu Cifu was stunned for a long time and thought about it for a while before accepting this reality.
So, out of curiosity, Yu Cifu left the gate of the Ministry of War and rushed to the Yu Mansion. However, as soon as the sedan landed, he happened to encounter a carriage stopping.
After getting off the sedan, Yu Shiyue saw a gentle woman in her twenties getting out of the carriage. The woman obviously recognized Yu Shiyue's sedan when she saw it. So, as soon as she got off the carriage, she came forward with two maids and knelt down.
For etiquette and Tao.
"I've met Uncle Yu."
Today's accidents really happened one after another. Yu Shiyue looked at the woman up and down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, nodded and said.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've become more and more considerate of a housekeeper, Luanying."
Yu Qian had two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Yu Mian, the adopted son Yu Kang, and the youngest daughter Yu Junying.
Among the three children, Yu Qian loved Yu Junying the most. At the beginning, for Yu Junying's marriage, Yu Qian was very selective. In the end, after asking around, he chose Yu Junying on the recommendation of Wu Fu, a doctor in the Ministry of War.
Zhu Ji, the son-in-law of Qianhu in Jinyiwei, was his son-in-law.
Although Zhu Ji was born in Jinyiwei, he had an upright nature, a dignified family tradition, benevolence, gentleness, talent and learning, and was quite like an ancient gentleman.
What's more important is that Zhu Ji has a good appearance and a clean family background, and his hometown is in Daxing County. After marrying Yu Ruanying, his life was considered harmonious.
However, after all, she is a married daughter, so it is not a problem for her to run to her parents' house every day.
The last time Yu Shiyue saw her was during the New Year's Day. Now, it's not the New Year's Day. Why did Yu Xuying come back suddenly?
Stretching his neck and looking around, Yu Shiyue found that only Yu Xuanying came over, and immediately frowned and asked.
"Xuanying, why are you back alone? Where is Zhu Ji? He didn't accompany you?"
As he spoke, Yu Shiyue looked a little unhappy and said.
"You weren't bullied again at your in-laws' house, were you?"
"That boy Zhu Ji is looking better. Did he make you feel wronged?"
"I'm telling you, it's useless to talk to your father about this matter. He can't lose face and put his hands on it, but it's okay. Just tell Uncle Yu and I will seek justice for you."
Seeing the indignant look of Yu Shibo in front of her, Yu Xuying was a little bit confused about whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She was an elder after all, and she couldn't interrupt rashly, so she had to stand aside and smile helplessly.
Speaking of which, this matter is already an old thing.
At the beginning, their two families had a close friendship. The Yu family had a son and the Yu family had a daughter. Therefore, Yu Shiyue made a small calculation in his mind. During that time, he went to Yu's house very frequently, trying to get the two families to get married.
But Yu Qian has never commented on this matter. The reason is that the son of the Yu family is not very good-looking, which makes Yu Shaobao look down on him.
But his old friend's reputation was not easy to deal with, so Yu Qian found an opportunity to ask Yu Shiyue to bring his son to visit him, and then asked Yu Mian to bring Yu Xuanying, and they sat and talked.
Turning around, he dismissed the matter on the grounds that Xuanying was unwilling.
Therefore, later on, every time Yu Shiyue saw Yu Xuying again, he was full of resentment. Later, when he heard that Yu Qian had chosen Zhu Ji as his son-in-law, Yu Shiyue, who was still the minister of Dali Temple at the time, was more interested in Yu Qian than Yu Qian, and immediately took Zhu Ji's son-in-law.
I checked all my family connections.
As a result, I found nothing but a little bit. Zhu Ji's mother had a somewhat impatient personality and was said to be not easy to get along with, but nothing else.
In the end, Yu Cifu, who was so angry, had to worry about Yu Xuanying every time he saw her, whether she was being embarrassed by her husband's family.
"Xuanying, Uncle Yu has told you a long time ago that although Zhu Ji is good-looking, his wife is not easy to get along with. How could Uncle Yu love you so much? You should have..."
After meeting Yu Xuanying, Yu Shiyue was no longer in a hurry to enter the house and started nagging.
Yu Xuying felt helpless for a while, and was just thinking about how to make him stop, when she heard a steady voice coming from behind.
"Brother Shichao, the more you talk, the more outrageous you become."
"Don't worry, Xuanying and Zhu Ji are very good friends. It's just that I, the father, miss her when we come back this time."
