The one hundred and seventy-seventh chapter is more help, but less help.
Chapter 177: Many people will help you if you are in good ways, but few will help you if you are unjust.
The cold and soft voice made Zhu Qiyu feel that it was a ferocious and sharp dagger that had been unsheathed. The tip of the dagger was pressed against his throat, making Zhu Qizhen feel as if he could just make a move.
If you react incorrectly, your fate may be no different than dying on the spot.
Don't forget, Zhu Qiyu's throne was passed to him by Zhu Qizhen on his own initiative. It happened before that Zhu Qiyu ignored the emperor, and then appeared in the plot to kill the crown prince. But now, the emperor and the queen mother hanged themselves.
Even without leaving a single word, anyone will point the finger at Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu suddenly discovered with horror that the basis for his ascension to the throne came from the support of the two people he hated, Zhu Qiyu's succession edict, and the Empress Dowager.
What he is doing now is a typical example of ungratefulness. Although Zhu Qiyu is already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in just over half a year, the bad things he has done have aroused the dissatisfaction and disgust of most of the courtiers.
If the great emperor really hanged himself, this grave crime of unfilial piety would definitely be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Thinking of this terrible consequence, Zhu Qiyu's legs couldn't help but weaken. He raised his front and knelt on the ground in front of the Empress Dowager's knees. "Mother, my sons, my sons are willing to listen to my mother."
"Okay, emperor, please get up quickly. This is the main hall of the court. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you do the right thing, the queen mother will support you. Do you understand?" The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth finally showed a hint of relief, and she raised her eyebrows.
He helped Zhu Qiyu, who was prostrate on the ground with a gray complexion, up and spoke slowly.
Then, the Empress Dowager turned her face, glanced at the ministers and shouted in a clear voice: "Your Majesty has agreed to allow the Crown Prince to go to the Xuan Mansion, perform filial piety at the knees of the Supreme Emperor, and receive the teachings of the Supreme Emperor. What do you think?"
"Long live, long live, long live your majesty, your majesty!" Upon hearing these words, even if Zhu Qiyu had not yet spoken, almost all the civil and military officials fell to the ground and shouted loudly with excitement on their faces.
"Is Ai Jia right? Emperor." The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Zhu Qiyu's face again, revealing a gentle and reserved smile. In those three cheers of long live, she looked so arrogant,
And everything is under control.
"The Queen Mother is right, I agreed. The cabinet will draft the decree immediately." Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to talk any more nonsense. His cards were already laid out here. He had no chance of winning at all, so why bother to make things difficult for himself?
Woolen cloth?

"It's done..." Lao Wang exhaled a long breath. It took a long time for his old hands and feet to get up from the floor in the hall again with the help of Yu Qian beside him. However, his legs and feet were sore and numb.
, but it couldn't stop the expression of joy and joy on his face.
And Yu Qian also had a relieved expression. Although this result is not the best, it is better than letting the crown prince stay here after all. Yu Qian has secretly mixed those rumors with this time when the crown prince was killed.
The murder plots were connected together, which is why he stood on the opposite side of the emperor.
He didn't want any more terrible turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. Besides, what the Emperor did today was so unreasonable. Even Yu Qian was secretly complaining in his heart, not to mention others.
Under the supervision of the Empress Dowager, this bill became a decree as quickly as possible and was passed. The emperor issued an edict and appointed Shi Heng's nephew Shi Biao as a general to escort the crown prince to Xuanfu. At this time, Yang
Hong got the direct look from Lao Wang and jumped out of his shift knowingly, shamelessly recommending his eldest son Yang Jun as Shi Biao's deputy.
Zhu Qiyu felt extremely unhappy and was about to refuse, but he didn't expect that Yang Hong's recommendation happened to be in line with the wishes of the Empress Dowager. Everyone knew that Shi Heng was the emperor's favorite general today, and Shi Biao was exactly the same.
It was his nephew who asked him to escort the Crown Prince. Speaking of which, the Queen Mother was really a little worried.
And Yang Hong recommended Yang Jun. Who is Yang Jun? He is a famous tiger general among the younger generation, and he is also the elder brother of Yang Xin and Yang Neng who have already served under the Supreme Emperor. Yang Hong has been in Xuanfu for nearly two years.
For ten years, his prestige was unparalleled. Among the three Yang brothers, Yang Jun fought with him for the longest time and made the most meritorious deeds. He was quite prestigious in the Xuanfu.
He went with the prince. At least, with Yang Jun by his side, Shi Biao had to think about what he wanted to do and whether he could deal with Yang Jun. I believe that when the time comes, the Supreme Emperor will naturally have the means to keep him. Such a tiger general
, will surely give Zhu Qizhen more help.
When the Empress Dowager opened her mouth, Zhu Qiyu could only stare and angrily respected the Empress Dowager's wishes. However, the old Yang Hong retreated behind the station, stroking his long snow-white beard, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
.
In Yang Hong's view, the emperor who is now sitting on the dragon throne is far inferior to the emperor who is far away in Xuanfu in all aspects, whether it is his demeanor or his actions. Nowadays, he is frequently offended because of selfish motives.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, after coming to power, did not do what they should do, but did a lot of things that they should not do.
Let's look at the Supreme Emperor again. Since he was captured, he has learned a lot and his character has changed drastically. He has become brave, decisive and responsible. The scene at the gate of Xuanfu City can be vividly remembered by Yang Hong as long as he closes his eyes.
The same was true at the gates of Datong, and even the gates of the capital, regardless of being trapped by the enemy, spoke such words that stirred the blood of more than a hundred civil and military officials, two hundred thousand old and weak soldiers, and millions of gentry and civilians.
Now, the rift between the ministers and the emperor has become more and more obvious, and even the Empress Dowager has stood up regardless of the dignity of the Tian family. You can imagine how bad the situation is.
Since Yang Hongzhi entered the court, he has been watching with a cold eye. The more he observes secretly and carefully, the more frightened he becomes. He thinks about everything the emperor has done, and then associates it with what the emperor did today.
Such a sharp contrast, not to mention the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty standing nearby, even the gentry and common people of the Ming Dynasty, there are a few who can't open their eyes. Think about the popular story books about the legend of the Supreme Emperor that have been circulated in the market. Think about the Supreme Emperor.
He killed Liu Pingzhong to demonstrate to the emperor, killed a group of eunuchs in the Xuanfu, captured the civil and military officials of the Xuanfu, won the support of the people of the Xuanfu, and made officials all over the world praise him.
Now, the Supreme Emperor had won another battle, and it was a great victory that made everyone lean towards the Supreme Emperor. Not only did he take over the Crown Prince, he also brought all the civil and military officials to his side.
This battle not only caused another heavy setback to the emperor's prestige, but also reminded people of the prince's murder case that had happened before. After connecting the two, even if it was not done by the emperor, no one would believe his innocence now.
.
It was precisely because of seeing this scene today that Yang Hong made the final decision to let his eldest son Yang Jun leave the capital. At least, based on his many years of keen intuition, he did not think that if the emperor wanted to do something, the current emperor would
It can be stopped. An old saying: If you are in good ways, you will get many help, but if you are in bad ways, there will be few help. It is enough to explain everything.
If Zhu Qizhen did all this deliberately, then he probably has only one purpose. "The emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country. This is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and this is the emperor of China..."
Yang Hong took a deep breath and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Zhen'er, are you feeling better?" Concubine Zhou sat in front of Wan Zhen'er's couch, looking at the best sister in the past, looking at her beautiful and haggard face, she couldn't help feeling a little sad, but she still couldn't help but feel sad.
There are countless indescribable emotions.
Seeing the beautiful and lovely Concubine Zhou in front of her, her delicately maintained face full of true feelings, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but struggle to reveal a faint smile. "Thank you for your concern, my lady. I'm fine."
"Zhen'er, why are you still like this? I have always regarded you as a good sister. Don't you even want to call me sister?" Concubine Zhou couldn't help but said angrily, raising her hand to tuck Wan Zhen'er's quilt.
"...Sister, thank you for coming to see me." Wan Zhen'er nodded slightly, hesitated again and again, and finally said the title. Concubine Zhou couldn't help but smile. "That's right, good sister, it's really hard.
If it weren't for you, the prince would be..." As soon as she said this, the smile on Concubine Zhou's face couldn't help but fade away, replaced by that frightened expression.
"Sister, don't say such things. In fact, if you want to thank me, you should thank the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor." Wan Zhen'er looked at the ignorant Concubine Zhou and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart. She didn't know anything.
, perhaps, this is also a kind of happiness, but I don’t know who will remember the things I have done for the Empress Dowager, for His Royal Highness the Prince, and even for the Supreme Emperor in the future. Thinking of this, Wan Zhener
An imperceptible sadness appeared on Zhang's haggard and pretty face.
But Concubine Zhou couldn't help but nodded after listening to Wan Zhen'er's words, with a look of piety and admiration. "Yes, if the Empress Dowager hadn't made the decision, my sister and the prince would have no way of surviving. Alas, I just pity the prince.
Your Highness, I haven’t seen Your Majesty for almost a year, and I don’t know if Your Majesty has lost weight or gained weight.”
"I have gone to see the Queen Mother several times, but I have been stopped all the time. I don't know how the Queen Mother is doing. She loves His Majesty the most. However, even His Majesty's children don't come to see her."
At this, Concubine Zhou couldn't help but curl her plump, red lips and gently curl her lips, showing a hint of sourness.
Seeing that Concubine Zhou was still as careless as before, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but smile. She had been by the Queen Mother's side for a long time. She already knew that the Queen Mother was probably enjoying the blessings by the Emperor's side. She could only speak softly to persuade her.
"Although my sister doesn't know why the Queen Mother behaves like this, I think there must be some very important reason."
"That's true..." Concubine Zhou nodded slightly. Just as the two former sisters and today's master and servant were chatting quietly, the Queen Mother, with an excited look on her face, held the yellow silk imperial edict in her hand.
His confidant, Mr. Wu, led a group of guards and rushed towards the Supreme Court...
