Zhu Tianjiang's shouts had already been drowned in the noise of the ministers. The imperial wedding itself was a symbol of honor. What's more, the wedding was a member of the royal family, the unique Princess Jing of the Dafeng Dynasty. Zhu Tian
Zhu Tianjiang refused to become Emperor Wu on the spot. Not only did Prince Jing not stand up to the challenge, but some veteran civil and military ministers also felt that Zhu Tianjiang was extremely arrogant.
Prince Jing's whip was so severe that Zhu Daguan ran away with a groan in pain. He did not dare to run far, and he was afraid that Emperor Chengwu would take this opportunity to cut off his thoughts. No matter what
Anyway, Zhu Tianjiang must tell the truth clearly. Otherwise, regardless of whether it is true or false, he will not be able to pass the test of Prince Jing.
"Little bastard, why did you say you didn't agree just now?" Prince Jing was so angry that Lao Lian blushed. If this kid dared to let down his family Yu'er, Prince Jing would have to kill him today.
"My lord, please listen to me. It's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding!" Zhu Tianjiang was so angry that his teeth ached. In front of all the civil and military officials, he couldn't say that Emperor Chengwu deliberately tricked him.
Emperor Chengwu put his hands behind his back and glanced at Queen Rong secretly. What happened today was indeed that he played a trick and temporarily changed the name of the seventh princess Yuexin to Li Yuer. After Concubine Rong was promoted to Dafeng, besides, the seventh princess
It was his own daughter, and Emperor Chengwu didn't want to hurt the mother and daughter. Especially the seventh princess Yue Xin, Emperor Chengwu also saw that the girl liked Zhu Tianjiang. If she was betrayed by Zhu Tianjiang on this happy day,
The refusal made Emperor Chengwu feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, he teased Zhu Tianjiang and deliberately changed his name to Li Yu'er. If Zhu Tianjiang agreed, Emperor Chengwu would then propose Guo Ying to Xuan Le. With Zhu Tianjiang's fiery temper, he would definitely do it.
In anger, he made a scene at the meeting. Emperor Chengwu took this opportunity to punish Zhu Tianjiang. Anyway, Guo Tianxin was not present, and even the marriage required the consent of the family elders. Emperor Chengwu did not expect that Zhu Tianjiang didn't even have his name.
He said 'I don't want to' before I even figured it out. It was better this way because it would save him from resorting to another method.
Emperor Chengwu pressed his hands, and all the civil and military officials in the audience immediately fell silent. Prince Jing was panting from exhaustion, and finally whipped Zhu Tianjiang a few times on his buttocks.
"Prince Jing, please be patient and be patient. Girl Jade knows the rules and is courteous. Since Tianxiang disagrees, I will choose another talent for him." Emperor Chengwu pretended to be angry on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.
"No~!"
"Your Majesty, I agree~!"
Prince Jing and Zhu Tianjiang rushed to speak one after another.
"Brother, if this boy dares not to marry my Yu'er, I will kill him even if I am not the prince." Prince Jing said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I was joking with you just now. I am willing." Zhu Tianjiang smiled bitterly and could only take the responsibility on himself.
Emperor Chengwu looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a face, "What are you kidding me? Did my Huang clan from Dafeng tell you to make fun of you?" Emperor Chengwu looked at Zhu Tianjiang majestically.
Hearing that Zhu Tianji agreed to the wedding, Prince Jing finally felt a little better. This boy had already ruined his daughter's innocence. If he dared to disagree, Prince Jing would not spare Zhu Tianjiang even if he risked his life to fall out with the Guo family. Although
Prince Jing knew that Emperor Chengwu and Zhu Tianjiang might be acting, but using his daughter as an excuse was something Prince Jing couldn't bear.
"Your Majesty, I didn't hear you clearly just now." Zhu Tianjiang said in his heart that you, an old guy, don't try to trick people like this. If the news reaches Yu'er's ears, it would be strange if the girl didn't hang herself in anger.
.
"You bastard!" Emperor Chengwu Long Yan was furious, "You actually treat my words as child's play and go back on your word to play with me. If this trend doesn't stop, how can I have the dignity to sit on the dragon throne?"
As Emperor Chengwu spoke, he shouted to the people below, "Teacher Wang! I ask you what crime you deserve for despising the emperor and playing tricks on the king!"
The old master Wang Bingkun took a few steps forward and said with an old face, "Go back to the emperor, this is a serious crime of bullying the emperor and being arrogant. According to Dafeng law, the worst case will implicate the nine tribes, and the worst case will be exiled thousands of miles and punished with hard labor, and will never be able to return to the capital.
." Taifu Wang acts like a Dafeng living under the law, speaking out. Last time Zhu Tian was so angry that he lay there for several days, and this resentment has not been expressed yet. Today is an opportunity.
As soon as Wang Bingkun said this, the faces of the civil and military officials on the stage suddenly became shocked. Good guy, although Zhu Tianjiang's behavior just now can be charged with arrogance and contempt, this crime of deceiving the emperor is a bit too much.
Emperor Chengwu snorted coldly, "Zhu Tianjiang thinks he is so arrogant that he doesn't even look down on me. These ministers are no different from traitors. Come on! Push out of the Meridian Gate and kill them!"
Prince Jing was so frightened that he trembled all over, and almost dropped the whip in his hand to the ground again. Prince Jing thought that he shouldn't act like this, because if no one stood up to stop him, this kid would die unjustly.
"Brother, wait a minute. Tianxiang just made a slip of the tongue. I hope your mercy will be met." Prince Jing quickly stood up and said.
Li Hong, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Chu Yun, the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and others all stood up to intercede for Zhu Tianjiang. Including Pengcheng Prefecture Yin, Shutian Prefecture Yin, Hedu Prefecture Yin, and others also quickly stood up to intercede for Zhu Tianjiang.
Zhu Daguan knew best in his heart that he knew that Emperor Chengwu would not kill him. But the words that Emperor Chengwu just said made Zhu Tianjiang feel very uncomfortable. Zhu Tianjiang smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Chengwu
What the emperor just said may have been true to his heart. He was very dissatisfied with his great achievements. He took this opportunity to deliberately tell the ministers. Zhu Tianjiang glanced at the ministers and said to himself that I am quite popular.
At least many people knew how to plead for me. However, Zhu Tianjiang found that the two princes Xuanzhu and Xuanle did not stand up to plead for him. It is understandable that Xuanle did not stand up, Xuanzhu
It's a bit unreasonable that the boy didn't plead for himself.
Seeing that the ministers were pleading for Zhu Tianjiang, Emperor Chengwu pretended to say, "Since the ministers are pleading for Zhu Tianjiang, I will spare his life. Besides, today is the queen's establishment ceremony, so I will kill the ministers."
It is also an unlucky thing. However, if you are punished by death, you cannot escape. Since Zhu Tianjiang defeated the rebel ministers, he has repeatedly insulted his old ministers and beaten important ministers. If I don't kill his spirit, I am afraid that this kid will be arrogant in the future. According to
According to the law, Zhu Tianjiang should be exiled a thousand miles to the north and punished with hard labor and never be allowed to return to the capital. But I thought that this boy had made great contributions to our government, so I punished him to be exiled 500 miles north with hard labor for fifty days. Five
Ten days later, it depends on the situation. If you don't repent, you will continue to be punished. Prince Jing! For my brother, I order you to personally supervise Zhu Tianjiang's departure from the capital before sunrise tomorrow, and make sure there is no mistake."
"My brother obeys the order!" King Jing finally understood that Emperor Chengwu had spared his life and found such an excuse just for this matter. He is now in charge of the post of Admiral of the Nine Sects, and the 'assignment' of Zhu Tianjiang is of course his.
live.
Wang Bingkun and other senior ministers felt extremely relieved when they heard that damn Zhu Tianjiang was exiled to hard labor. A group of people stepped forward and shouted, "My Emperor is Holy Ming~!"
This time, the number of people who came forward was many times more than those who had just begged for mercy. Prince Jing curled his lips and glared at Zhu Tianjiang, thinking to himself, looking at your popularity, someone would probably set off firecrackers to celebrate tomorrow morning.
Official Zhu didn't even bother to attend the royal banquet, so he was 'escorted' out of the palace by the officials of the clan. It's true that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. The news that Zhu Tianjiang was exiled to hard labor spread in less than two hours.
All over the capital.
In a common vegetable market in Xicheng, in the backyard of a grocery store selling spices, more than a dozen people were also quietly discussing the matter. Two of them were extremely famous, and they were the only direct relatives of the fugitive Dafeng Prince Xuanming and the E family.
Live mouth Ebilon.
"Uncle, that kid Zhu Tianjiang has been exiled from the capital. It's a good time for us to take action. For the sake of his mother who was thrown into the cold palace, and for the unjust soul of the E family who died, we must not let this kid live in the world." Xuan Ming said through gritted teeth.
.
A dozen big men nearby also asked for orders to kill the evil thief Zhu Tianjiang. These people were Xuanming's personal bodyguards and the guards of the E family. They had been protecting Xuanming and Ebilong since their defeat.
This grocery store was a place where Obilon, out of his kindness, helped a homeless mother and son to make a living. Unexpectedly, after everyone was in trouble, this place became the safest place to hide.
E Bilong frowned. The situation was now a little more stable. Everyone thought that he and Xuan Ming had escaped from the capital. Once they left the city to kill Zhu Tianjiang, their traces might be leaked again.
"Xuanming, could it be that Zhu Tianjiang was demoted and exiled as a trap to deliberately lure us out?" Obilong said cautiously.
"Uncle, absolutely not. My father himself is wary of Zhu Tianjiang. This boy has offended many old ministers some time ago. Even though those people have little military power, their power in the court is not small. Father
In order to appease those old ministers, they will also find an excuse to kill Zhu Tianjiang. The more arrogant Zhu Tianjiang is, the faster this kid will die." Xuan Ming said coldly.
Ebilong nodded, "Your analysis is good. Emperor Chengwu himself is a suspicious person. The reason why he supported you in taking charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was to seize the military power. Zhu Tian reduced the meritorious service to the master of Gao Zhen, and also cooperated with the Guo family
If he makes good friends, Emperor Chengwu will take action against him sooner or later. This exile is just a small punishment for him by Emperor Chengwu. As long as the boundary between the north and south of Dafeng remains undetermined, Emperor Chengwu will reuse this kid sooner or later.
To be honest, despite Zhu Tianjiang's arrogance and domineering attitude, in terms of military ability, it can be said that no one in Dafeng can match him."
Xuan Ming glanced at his uncle awkwardly and nodded helplessly. Although Xuan Ming hated Zhu Tianjiang deeply, he was convinced that he had lost during the march. From the beginning, as a prince, he was sent to the Ministry of Punishment by Zhu Tianjiang.
Si Yawai gave him a good beating, and in the previous battle for the capital's attack and defense, Xuan Ming was suppressed by Zhu Tian at every turn. He was not an opponent on the same level at all. Especially this defeat, Xuan Ming was completely convinced.
Everyone in the room looked at Ebilong. Ebilong thought about it for a while and finally decided to kill Zhu Tianjiang. Even if he risked being discovered, he would avenge the Feng and E clans. Don't look at Feng.
The E family was killed on the spot by the old master Wang Bingkun in anger, but the hatred between Xuan Ming and E Bilong was attributed to Zhu Tianjiang. Since the seeds of hatred are buried in his heart, sooner or later it will explode.
Come out. Now that he has the opportunity, Obilon is not prepared to let it go.
"Xuanming, how many heavy bows do we still have in hand?" Obilon asked.
"Twelve." Xuan Ming's eyes lit up, and he understood that his uncle had agreed to the robbery and murder.
Since their defeat, they have been on tenterhooks every day. If it weren't for the hatred in their hearts, Xuan Ming would have collapsed long ago. These people have gathered together, and Obilong is completely in control of the action. Without his orders, no one can
Taking action. Xuanming went to Zhu Mansion several times to assassinate him, but Obilong forcibly stopped him. Now that he finally had this opportunity, Xuanming felt that he was willing to die together with Zhu Tianjiang.
"Listen, everyone, before the city gate closes tonight, everyone will leave the city in batches and gather fifteen miles north of the city. Since Zhu Tianjiang is in exile, the escorting officers and soldiers will not exceed 20 cavalry. We have more than 40 people
, all the heavy bows are aimed at Zhu Tianjiang, no matter how much the price is paid, this thief cannot be allowed to live." After Obilong finished speaking, his eyes swept over the faces of all the cronies one by one.
After the discussion, a dozen big men quietly walked out of the grocery store. One of the big men made a gesture, and many young men who were setting up stalls to buy vegetables closed their stalls and followed the dozen or so people out of the market.
