A major turmoil that was supposed to be a court inquiry to question the King of Yan, Zhu Di, ended with Zhu Yun being disgraced due to Zhu Di's preemptive strike.【】
In fact, even though Zhu Di took advantage of justice and truth and launched an attack in court, the outcome he originally envisioned would only attract widespread attention from the government and the public. In this case, although they would be in trouble for the time being, the group of scholars who were caught in the whirlpool of moral justice and public opinion would be timid in doing things.
No matter what you do to him, there is indeed more than a 70% chance that he will return to Peiping successfully in the end, and because of his public questioning in the court, it is very likely that the other party will be wary of reducing the vassal in the future and not dare to be so blatant.
The reason why the ending is better than Zhu Di and Dao Yan expected is all thanks to Zhu Yun.
Zhu Yun is not good at eloquence, which does not mean that Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others are not good at it. They all have a sharp tongue. The reason why they did not react at first was because they were too hasty to cut down the vassal. Those who were criticized by Yan King Zhu Di
The matter is indeed reasonable, and they have no way to refute it. But after spending their whole lives studying, secretly changing logic, and changing propositions, don't they still understand the sophistry? As long as they are given a little more time, they will definitely be able to filter their thoughts and get rid of Zhu Di.
He kept talking about the topic, focusing on the evidence of his deception, drawing everyone's attention, and even if he couldn't win the situation, he could still regain some face.
But Zhu Yun had never experienced such a scene. Seeing his confidants who were leaning on his arms being interrogated by Zhu Di, they were speechless. All the military officers in the court were there. The inexperienced Zhu Yun was so ashamed that he wished he could
He immediately found a step to come down, so he talked to Xi Ni impatiently, admitting that Zhu Di's misconduct before the emperor was just out of sincerity, and that all his own affairs were easy to discuss. He hurriedly built a ladder for himself to come down, and asked the chamberlain to help Zhu Di up and comfort him.
, asked him to go to the inner palace to see his mother first, and his uncle and sister-in-law went to talk about their family.
If Zhu Yun does this, Huang Zicheng and others will have nothing to do. Zhu Di has already patted his ass and left. Who are you going to fight with? Doesn't that make it impossible for the emperor to step down? So a few people had to swallow their anger and let this matter go. Hong
Seeing this scene, the officials of the Lu Temple hurriedly came forward to ask the officials to do something. The officials did not make any preparations today. A few ministers came out randomly and asked a few indifferent questions. Zhu Yun replied casually and left.
After a while, this big court meeting, which was not a big court meeting, ended hastily.
In the evening, before the palace ban came, the lights in the Zhengxin Hall were brightly lit. Zhu Yun, who had just followed his mother's instructions and politely sent his fourth uncle King Yan out of the palace, came back. All the confidants who had been waiting there were in a panic.
Qi Tai said excitedly: "Your Majesty, today King Yan is criticizing the emperor and slandering the ministers in court. Where is the emperor and where is the court? Isn't it obvious that he is so arrogant? The emperor should not let him go to court at all.
, as soon as he steps into Yingtian Mansion, he should be imprisoned and held accountable!"
Jingqing also said angrily: "Your Majesty, King Yan himself has come to your door. This is a God-given opportunity. As the saying goes, if God does not take what he has given, you will be punished. After today's incident in the court, the emperor should not hesitate anymore and should send him immediately.
Bring him to justice and punish him accordingly!"
Zhu Yun said with a stern face: "In the court, I just said that I had no intention of killing the emperor's uncles, and I just pardoned him for his misconduct in front of the palace. Do you want me to go back on my promise and make the world laugh?"
When Lian Zining heard this, he became anxious and said: "Your Majesty, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial details. Since King Yan is here, we must let him never come back. If we let the tiger go back to the mountain, it will be too late to regret when the tiger bites us!"
Zhu Yun waved his hands impatiently and sat down on the throne, sulking and saying nothing.
Huang Zicheng tugged at his beard hard and said after a while: "You can't kill him! King Yan has sinister intentions and his heart can be killed!"
Zhu Yun and all the ministers looked at him. Zhu Yun asked anxiously: "What do you mean by this, sir?"
Huang Zicheng said: "We have never figured out why King Yan came to Yingtian Mansion? The reason is very simple. He has noticed the court's movements and knows that the court is about to attack him. At this time, he took the risk to come to Yingtian, so
Why are you here? If he wants to show his loyalty to the court, then he should follow the rules and be careful in his words and deeds, but does his behavior seem to be for this reason? "
After everyone listened, they felt that his analysis was very reasonable, and they couldn't help but nodded. Zhu Yun hurriedly asked: "What is the intention of King Yan according to what Mr. Yan sees?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Among the kings, there are several vassals who are good at fighting and have led troops and horses. Moreover, the imperial court's control over Peiping is not tight enough. He knows that now is not the time for the imperial court to show his intentions, so he ventures to Beijing.
The first is to force the emperor to publicly admit that he has no intention of reducing the vassal; the second is to use this move to win the hearts and minds of the vassals; the third is to arouse the sympathy of the government and the public..."
Before Huang Zicheng finished speaking, Qi Tai couldn't wait to say: "Wow, since Yi Xing also acted against King Yan's intentions, we should kill him immediately!"
Huang Zicheng waved his hand and said: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet. King Yan must have considered the risk of coming to Jinling, but he was risking his own life and he had to come. But now that King Yan has come
, He must have made arrangements for Peiping. If he died in Jinling, his son would definitely gather a crowd to rebel. Secondly, huh! He also made the worst plan, using his own death to trap him.
The emperor is unjust and trapping me is tantamount to disloyalty. You have heard the speech he made in mourning for the late emperor in Xiaoling Mausoleum. How will the people of the world treat the emperor? How will they treat me?"
Lian Zining was so anxious that he stamped his feet and said: "Oh, my Lord Huang, the whole house is on fire. You still care about what those people are doing. Just kill him with one knife. Forgive him that the Crown Prince of Yan has just reached his crown age and his prestige in martial arts is far inferior."
If my father can achieve great things, I should get rid of him immediately."
Huang Zicheng smiled faintly and said leisurely: "Bare feet are not afraid of those wearing boots. King Yan has prepared for the worst. He is desperate and desperate. The overall situation is in the hands of the emperor and the court. What are we anxious about?
What was our original plan? It was to cut off its wings, drain the firepower, and capture King Yan effortlessly. How can we mess up our own sense of proportion because of King Yan's actions now?
Killing a thousand people will cost you eight hundred. Your Majesty has just moved to the throne. If you kill King Yan now, wouldn’t it damage the Emperor’s reputation? We have just been favored by the Emperor and our prestige is not enough. You have also heard that today in the court
, Doesn’t King Yan use this article to ridicule you and me, and alienate the relationship between you and me and the officials of the court? If we kill King Yan at this time, wouldn’t it be criticized?”
The saying that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing boots has been popular since the Ming Dynasty. Huang Zicheng thought to himself that he had figured out Zhu Di's thoughts, and he even made a witty remark when he heard this nonsense theory.
, but Qi Tai was about to turn into a dragon. He panted heavily and glared at Huang Zicheng: "Then... then what should you do, Mr. Huang?"
Huang Zicheng said confidently: "The more anxious the King of Yan is, the more it proves that he is at his wits end, and the overall situation is in our hands. He is anxious, but we cannot be anxious. According to me, not only can the emperor not kill him, but he also has to deal with him while he is in Jinling."
He was very courteous and showed favor to him. As for the fact that the three kings were killed, he could also explain it away on the grounds that he was far away in Peiping and did not know the truth, so as to confuse King Yan.
No matter how he changes, I have certain rules. On our side, we will still cut off his wings according to the original plan. By then, Peiping will be under our control. Do we want to kill King Yan? Haha, wait until we have arranged everything.
What's the difference between killing here and killing in Peiping? Waiting until the time is right to take action will not only cause no damage to the emperor's reputation, but also reduce the number of wars and prevent the people from being in chaos."
Jing Qing widened his eyes and said, "Are you going to let him go back?"
Huang Zicheng affirmed: "Yes! Let him go back!"
Lian Zining said angrily: "How can this be unreasonable? Isn't this just letting the tiger return to the mountain?"
Zhu Yun saw that there was another internal strife among his cronies, and he didn't know who was more reasonable, so he asked Fang Xiaoru, "What do you think, Mr. Xiaozhi?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "My lords, all are doing this for the sake of the emperor and for our country, the Ming Dynasty. Please don't hurt the harmony between us. Your lord, what you have said is reasonable. Now King Yan has made such a fatal move.
, even if you want the emperor to kill him, it won't matter, and it won't matter if you don't kill him. Yichen comes, we can't kill him, otherwise we really can't explain it to the people of the world. It is easy for the emperor to kill King Yan, but it is difficult to keep everyone in the world from talking!
"
Zhu Yun couldn't help but nodded, and Fang Xiaoru said again: "However, we can't be at the mercy of King Yan. King Yan went to Nanjing and captured His Majesty's army. Why don't Your Majesty capture his army instead? If he agrees to return the favor, that's all."
, if he does not agree, then, no matter what the emperor does, King Yan will have nothing to say, and the people of the world will also have nothing to say."
Zhu Yun's eyes shone and he asked hurriedly: "Mr. Xiaozhi, what should I do?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "It will be the anniversary of the death of the late Emperor Xiaoxiang soon. Your Majesty can say that the kings have been ordered to establish vassal towns and should not leave them lightly. The princes will go to Beijing on behalf of their fathers to pay homage and sweep the imperial mausoleum. Since King Yan is in Beijing, he will first take care of this matter."
Tell him the matter and ask him to agree in public. This has two advantages. First, after the late emperor passed away last year, the emperor ordered the kings not to go to Beijing. There was a lot of discussion among the people, thinking that the emperor was unreasonable and that the emperor was just right.
This can be used as a remedy; secondly, if the King of Yan refuses to agree, it will be a rebellion, and his rebellion will be obvious. If he is captured on the spot, he will have nothing to say. If he agrees and then goes back on his promise, he will break the trust of the world.
.If the third son of King Yan is really in hand, the imperial court can make arrangements calmly as Mr. Huang said, and there is no need to worry about King Yan taking risks out of desperation!"
"good!"
Zhu Yun showed a happy smile on his face, turned to everyone and asked: "What do you think Mr. Xiaozhi said?"
"Confused, really confused! The King of Yan is right in front of you, killing him like a dog, but he wants to let the tiger return to the mountain. What is the imperial government's plan to reduce the vassal? It is really unreasonable!"
Leaving the palace and walking on the royal road, the more Qi Tai thought about it, the more painful he became. Jingqing sighed and said: "However, Fang Xiaozhi and Huang Yixing have a status in the heart of the emperor that no one can match. Both of them are like this. What else can we do?"
Sample?"
Lian Zining said dejectedly: "Well, it would be fine if the current situation develops as they expected, but they are afraid of unintended consequences. How can the three tiger cubs in King Yan's family be as powerful as King Yan's fierce tiger?"
Qi Tai's expression changed. He thought for a long time, then stamped his foot and said: "No, we can't let the tiger return to the mountain."
Jing Qing said helplessly: "The Emperor has made up his mind, what can you and I do? With just you and me, the three scholars, can we attack Prince Yan's Mansion and kill Prince Yan with our own hands?"
Qitai gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I have this plan. But..."
He glanced at the Jinyiwei Yamen not far away and smiled coldly: "Of course we didn't do it..." To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to () to vote for recommendation. Your support is
