During this period of time, Chongzhen's temperament changed drastically in the eyes of the courtiers, and he even acted arbitrarily. The reason why he was like this was because everything in the prince's "dream" was played out in reality, and he knew that his family and country were about to be destroyed before his eyes.
We could no longer count on the courtiers who were just waiting to die and waiting for the destruction of the Zhu family, so they had to take the wrong approach, which caused a drastic change in the temperament of the courtiers.
But the prince's "dream" is a confidential matter. Except for the queen, the prince, and their family of three, no outsiders know about it (at least Chongzhen thinks so). But Chang Yujiu has no interaction with Jiang Yu in the inner palace for a long time. How could he
Do you have the intention to kill Jiang Yu? Is it possible...
"Once in the East Palace, I heard that the prince complained that Jiang Quan was arrogant, domineering and violent, and that he was a tyrant in Datong. At that time, I thought that if I had the chance to meet him, I would definitely kill this thief!" Chang Yuchuan said.
Come slowly.
"Hmph, you can kill the high officials of the imperial court whenever you want." Chongzhen snorted coldly and glanced at the prince.
Zhu Cixiang stood up quickly: "My son indeed mentioned Jiang Thief in the East Palace."
"I don't dare, but I dare to be disloyal to the emperor and unjust to the Ming Dynasty. I would rather kill him than cut him off with a knife," Chang Yu said solemnly.
"I know you are loyal to the royal family"! Chongzhen nodded slightly: "But Jiang Quan was the commander-in-chief of the town, but you were killed so hastily. This shows how much influence it has on the government and the public, and how much pressure I bear for you."
"Young man is guilty, the emperor is implicated." Chang Yu hurriedly kowtowed, thinking, it's your uncle's fault, I'm the one who takes the blame... Without your hint, how could I dare to kill Jiang Yu? Yes, Chongzhen just saw that he refused to take the blame.
Wang Chengyin was blamed, so Jiang Yu was blamed on himself.
"You are not guilty. You did a good job. Jiang Quan conspired to assassinate You Guo." A smile flashed across the corner of Chongzhen's mouth and he asked: "Wang Jimo is really as useless as you say?"
"It may be useless, or it may be out of purpose, but from what I can see, it is indeed a corpse-like meal!" Chang Yu snorted coldly.
Oh, Chongzhen was a little surprised that this little eunuch could use idioms to express it, but at this time, the focus was still on Wang Jimo: "Tell me, how can a corpse be eaten without food?"
"The emperor will know just one thing. Wang Jimo is the governor of Xuan Dynasty and the prime minister of Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi Civil Government and Military Affairs. But where was he when the rebel army crossed the Yellow River and broke through Pingyang Mansion and went north to attack Taiyuan? Xuanfu, Datong
The situation was unbearable. When the emperor's military orders were not carried out, where was the governor of Xuanda? He drank tea and walked birds in Yanghe Mansion (today's Yanggao), the residence of Xuanda, and turned a blind eye to foreign affairs.
, he will not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty! Not to mention the Taiyuan war, he is useless, what is such a person if he is not a corpse?"
Hearing this, Chongzhen nodded slightly: "Whether Wang Jimo is incompetent or powerless, he has indeed neglected his duty as you said. If this is the case, then come down."
Chang Yu was silent, but his heart was bright. In his dream, Prince Chongzhen knew what Wang Jimo did when the bandits captured Taiyuan. Although he did not surrender to the enemy at that time, what he did was indeed extremely incompetent, so he wanted to find an excuse to let him down. At this time, Chang Yu
The reason Yu Chi gave me was just right.
"I know relatively detailed information about the Battle of Taiyuan. You will add more later. First, let's talk about King Lu of Wei Hui Mansion. He is my uncle by seniority. How could he die inexplicably?" Chongzhen's eyes looked a little bit.
cold
Chang Yu disagreed, and said with an indifferent expression: "The leader of the thieves, Liu Fangliang, attacked Huaiqing Mansion. King Wei Huilu, who was close at hand, heard the news and fled... but was surrounded by the thieves. When he was in ruins, he was betrayed by his servants. was robbed, but fortunately Commander Wu went to Huaiqing Mansion to investigate the enemy situation and met by chance to help, but King Lu was old and frightened, and finally..."
Haha, Chongzhen sneered: "Your army in Taiyuan is facing hundreds of thousands of thieves. How can the enemy have the spare strength to send Wu Mengming all the way to Huaiqing Mansion to investigate the enemy's situation? And less than half a month later, he met Shen again in Lu'an Mansion. It’s too much of a coincidence that Wang also suffered in this way.”
Chang Yu lowered his head and said nothing, while Chongzhen looked at him coldly.
Seeing that Chang Yu was still silent for a while, Chongzhen snorted coldly: "That's all, just give me a rough idea."
"Prince Lu was first attacked by thieves, and then betrayed by his servants. The palace suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the property was robbed. Prince Lu and his son were both in trouble, but fortunately the queen was unharmed." Chang Yu responded in a deep voice.
"You..." Chongzhen's eyes turned cold, and then he took a long breath: "You are quite ruthless."
"Your Majesty, it's the thieves who are cruel!" Chang Yu said firmly, thinking secretly, "It's almost done. Since I've already taken the blame, there's no need for you to hammer in a few more big nails."
"Prince Lu was robbed and wiped out?" Chongzhen rolled his eyes.
"Most of them were looted by thieves, and Commander Wu recovered only a few. The smaller ones were reported to the emperor before."
"Is that really all?"
"There is still a little, to use as military pay to maintain stability." Chang Yu's expression did not change. Chongzhen stared at him for a while, nodded slightly, and sighed: "The heirs of Prince Lu's house have been decided, and there will be no such kingdom in the future."
Then he asked, "I heard that King Xiaofu, who lives in Huaiqing Mansion, took refuge in Weihui after the bandit army defeated Huaiqing. Do you know his whereabouts at this time?"
Chang Yu secretly took a breath: "Prince Fu did take refuge in Prince Wei Huilu's Mansion, and then fled with Prince Lu. He met Commander Wu and then..."
"Think it over before you speak, without any deception," Chongzhen said suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Chang Yu was so excited. Among the vassal kings, who did Chongzhen most want to confiscate his family and destroy his family?
It must be the King of Fortune.
You must know that the old Fu Wang Zhu Changxun and Chongzhen's father Zhu Changluo are brothers. At that time, Fu Wang received the unparalleled favor of Emperor Wanli and wanted to succeed him. Zhu Changluo was almost deposed. If the officials had not risen up to oppose him, Fu Wang would have really taken the throne. The dragon chair.
So Chongzhen and Prince Fu's Mansion have a feud, and if Chongzhen's lineage is cut off, Prince Fu's Mansion will be the first in line to become emperor. What's more, the prince once said in his dream that Zhu Yousong did become the emperor. Does this make Chongzhen unable to avoid murder? ?
And this murderous intention has reached the point of cold-bloodedness. Chang Yu once secretly hinted that Zhu Yousong was dead, but at this time Chongzhen's actions were hinting to him that he didn't want to know how and where he died, because he didn't even want to pay for the aftermath. I don’t want to do anything fake.
"He was kidnapped by his servants and his whereabouts are unknown. In all likelihood, he died in the deserted mountains and mountains." Chang Yu exhaled a filthy breath.
Chongzhen narrowed his eyes: "The blessed king will die and the country will perish."
"What about King Shen of Lu'an Prefecture?" After sighing with emotion, Chongzhen asked again.
"Commander Wu thought that the rebels had already attacked Wei Hui's Mansion when Wei Hui met King Lu, but when he was returning, he accidentally learned that Liu Fangliang, the leader of the bandits, did not directly attack Wei Hui but instead sent troops to Lu'an Mansion in the northwest. Worried about the enemy situation there and fearing that the royal family would suffer, he ordered Commander Wu to go to see if he could assist one or two. As expected, they encountered King Shen and his party who were attacked by thieves. Commander Wu came to the rescue and escorted King Shen's family to The Prince of Jin's Mansion in Taiyuan took refuge for the time being, and I even reported this matter to the Emperor."
"Then why did Prince Shen suddenly die of illness?" Chongzhen looked suspicious. To be honest, he suspected that Chang Yu had deliberately killed him, but Prince Shen was a weakling and there was no threat to him, and he didn't even hint that Chang Yu would take action. This kid How dare you make your own decisions and do disobedient things? If so, you should give him a beating.
"Your Majesty, Prince Shen is already over eighty years old. At this age, he was frightened by the bandit army and suffered from the cold weather all the way. In fact... everything seemed fine when he arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, and the bandit army was sieging the city at that time. The little one I have been on duty in the city, but suddenly something happened to King Shen Ran!"
Chang Yu's words have made it very clear, that is, I really did not do this, and the King of Jin has testified.
Chongzhen believed it. After much deliberation, Chang Yu didn't have the courage to take action in the Jin Palace. If he wanted to kill Zhu Xiaoyong, he would have asked Wu Mengming to do it on the way. Moreover, Zhu Xiaoyong was indeed very old, and he was his grandfather in terms of seniority. Well, it was also possible that the wind and cold along the way coupled with the fright made my hair turn up.
"Does this mean that Prince Shen and others are all taking refuge in Prince Jin's Mansion at this time?" Chongzhen's eyes were erratic.
Chang Yu hummed: "Return to the emperor, surrender to the royal palace and the princess, and nearly a hundred people from the crown prince onwards are all in the Jin palace..."
"In your opinion..." Chongzhen suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes.
Chang Yu was startled, hey, is Chongzhen crazy? He is determined to destroy his family!
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to 6 sons and divided the countries into feudal states. Over the past hundred years, only a few of those who were destroyed had committed crimes, and the rest had lost their heirs.
At present, Prince Lu of Wei Hui Mansion and Prince Fu of Luoyang are regarded as extinct and you can destroy them as soon as you destroy them. However, several brothers of Prince Shen of Lu'an Mansion are waiting to take over, but you have murderous intentions. This is It makes no sense.
