"That is my opinion and has nothing to do with the bachelors." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice, taking the responsibility on himself.
"Your Majesty, how long are you going to protect them?!" Zhang Fu expressed his resolute disbelief: "I don't believe it was your idea to kill me!" After a pause, he stared at the emperor and shouted sternly:
"Emperor Daxing rehabilitated all Jianwen's traitors before his body was cold. If Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru are not traitors, how can it be that Emperor Daxing is also traitor?"
"If Emperor Daxing is a treacherous minister and traitor, then who is the emperor who will succeed Emperor Daxing?!" As he spoke, he raised his voice again, and even used his inner strength, which shocked Zhu Gaochi and others' ears and said, "Your Majesty,
The sage said, 'If your father is here, you will observe your ambitions; if your father does not observe your actions, if you do not change your father's ways for three years, you can be called filial'! What have you done?!"
"You, you..." Zhu Gaochi glared at Zhang Fu and was speechless.
Although he was already the emperor, Zhu Gaochi still felt so helpless in front of Zhu Di's coffin, facing the ministers and nobles who held high the principles of justice...
Zhu Gaochi looked at Yang Shiqi and others beside him, and saw that they were still struggling to make impassioned speeches, but the nobles just turned a deaf ear. At such a tense moment, speaking must be based on strength. If you don't have strength, you can use words of endorsement.
No matter how extravagant it is, it will be regarded as nothing...
"Your Majesty, please admit your mistakes in front of the late Emperor, kill the thieves who caused chaos in the country, and promise not to change your father's ways, so as to comfort the late Emperor!" Zhang Fu's words were exactly the opposite. No matter how arrogant and unreasonable, no one dared to miss a word.
Don't dare not think about every word carefully, don't dare not respond carefully, because he represents the nobility, the military, and the power that can shake the throne!
After Zhang Fu finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in Changling. Everyone held their breath and even forgot to breathe. There were only two shocking words left in their hearts - forced into the palace!
Honorable nobles should ask the emperor to admit his mistakes in front of Emperor Yongle's coffin, kill the bachelors who "brought disaster to the country and chaos in government", and return to the old ways of the Yongle Dynasty!
In an instant, people seem to have returned to the era of confrontation between the late Emperor and Emperor Jianwen more than 20 years ago. Although there is no war at the moment, everything is so similar? Jianwen and his civil servants carried out reforms and offended the people who promoted the vassal kings and nobles.
The interests led Zhu Di to launch a military campaign to overthrow the civilian regime of Emperor Jianwen.
Today, Emperor Hongxi once again relied on civil servants and carried out drastic reforms, which once again seriously offended the interests of the powerful, triggering a fierce backlash from the powerful. First, Xue Lu died and remonstrated, and then Zhang Fu held a banquet, which finally escalated to today's crying mausoleum.
Incident, the monarch and his ministers are at war with each other. If no party makes concessions, the Ming Dynasty, which has finally survived the chaos, will surely fall into chaos and disputes again!
Unconsciously, the sky turned dark, billowing dark clouds enveloped Changling, and a mountain rain was about to come.
In the square, the confrontation between the emperor and his ministers continued. Zhang Fu and others had already made their plans clear, and naturally they would not give up until they achieved their goals.
As for Zhu Gaochi, naturally he would never give in. Not to mention that the demands of the honorable nobles were too unreasonable and cruel, just because of the drama of crying tombs and forcing the palace to be performed today, Emperor Hongxi would never give in, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would never give in.
It's time to change the boss!
However, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to act rashly! Because an abnormality occurred in Zhu Di's Zi Palace, which had seriously shaken his authority as the emperor. This can be seen from the hesitant expressions of the surrounding Jinyi guards. Moreover, the troops guarding Changling belonged to Xun
Dear leader, no one knows what the consequences will be if force is used?
So the two sides can only do this, in a painful stalemate, facing each other, and it depends on who can't stand it first and make concessions.
At this time, it seemed that God couldn't stand it any longer. The north wind howled, the temperature in the valley dropped sharply, and freezing sleet began to drift from the sky.
"Your Majesty! You have seen it!" The changes in the celestial phenomena encouraged the struggling nobles, and they shouted one after another: "This is the wrath of God, the late emperor has appeared, don't be obsessed with it anymore!"
"Late Emperor, don't worry, I will risk everything to seek justice for you!" Some nobles knelt down and raised their arms, shouting crazily. Their momentum completely overwhelmed the emperor and the civil servants.
In this situation, Zhu Gaochi and his civil servants could only hold on silently. But this was a cold winter with wind and snow, how long could they hold on?
The emperor and the civil servants wore thin sacrificial robes, and soon they were shivering from the cold. At first, they tried to hold on, but the wind became stronger and stronger, cutting people's bodies and faces like knives, and the rain and snow fell harder and harder. The emperor and his ministers were all wet.
It was through, and the clothes froze again in the cold wind, turning them into popsicles.
Although those honorable men were wearing very thin clothes, they were very skilled and always wore single clothes on days when dripping water turned into ice. Moreover, they were all so excited at this moment, so why did they care about the cold?
I saw that the weak civil servants all had blue faces and chattering teeth. The old and weak people like Jian Yi couldn't hold on anymore and fainted to the ground one after another...
"Hurry up and help them get warm inside the house!" Liu Sheng, who had been silent, finally spoke.
The Jin Yiwei quickly helped the unconscious old minister up and carried him out of the square. Liu Sheng turned to Zhu Gaochi and said: "Your Majesty, it will get dark soon, and the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. It is not appropriate to stay with the late Emperor today. It is better to wait until the weather clears up tomorrow."
Bar."
Zhu Gaochi had deep internal strength and was not afraid of the wind and cold, but his lips were blue and purple, and his face was pale, as if there were signs of an old illness. In fact, he was speechless and just stood there holding on.
That's all.
After hearing Liu Sheng's words, the emperor glanced at Yang Shiqi and others with concern. Liu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will try my best to protect them." Zhu Gaochi nodded with relief, and the eunuch on the side hurriedly supported him.
The emperor was put into a black cloth sedan and carried back to the Thanksgiving Hall.
Seeing the emperor leaving, Yang Shiqi and others knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and wanted to rub their feet, but how could the nobles let them leave?
"Don't let them run away!" Someone called out, and the nobles cheered, swarmed up, stopped the civil servants, and started to fight!
The Jin Yiwei hurriedly stood in front of the civil servants, trying to separate the two parties. However, the nobles were all skilled in martial arts. At this moment, they also had anger bonuses, and each of them was as strong as an ox. The rain and snow on the ground had frozen again, and the Jin Yiwei
The soldiers were pushed around and fell to the ground. Many civil servants were also brought to the ground.
The nobles were overjoyed when they saw this. They rushed up like a hungry tiger and beat a civil servant to death if they caught him! The civil servants' small bodies could not withstand their three punches and two kicks. In the blink of an eye, many people's heads were blown and their muscles and bones were broken.
Damn... this is the result of Jin Yiwei hugging the nobles with all his strength and receiving countless punches and kicks on behalf of the civil servants.
Zhu Yong and others did not join the melee, not because they maintained their identity and refused to fight on the muddy ground, but because their targets were not ordinary civil servants.
What Zhu Yong and others are looking for are Yang Shiqi and the others. If they don't kill these culprits in Changling, it would be a shame for this good time and place!
However, what Zhu Yong and others did not expect was that Yang Shiqi and the others were as slippery as loaches, slithering in and out of the chaotic crowd and losing sight of them if they were not careful. When Zhu Yong finally found them, he took them with him.
People squeezed through as hard as they could, but Yang Shiqi and the others slipped away and disappeared into the chaotic crowd.
This is all based on Yang Shiqi's more than ten years of experience in the world of martial arts. Although Yang Rong and Jin Youzi often make fun of his experience, in times of crisis, Yang Shiqi's ability in this regard is reflected. He can always lead the two of them to find the crowd.
The gap is always moving, and he can always use the crowd to disappear from the enemy's sight, making it difficult for Zhu Yong and others to lock on.
Several times, Zhu Yong and others rushed towards the three of them. Yang Shiqi pulled several civil servants and pushed them towards Zhu Yong and others. By the time Zhu Yong knocked away the civil servants who were blocking his way, Yang Shiqi and others had already got in.
He got into the crowd and fled...
Of course, they would inevitably be accidentally injured during the escape. Yang Shiqi and the others had already suffered bruises and swollen faces, but as long as they could escape, the three of them would be thankful...
Yang Shiqi did not run away aimlessly. He circled around and approached Liu Sheng, who was watching coldly.
Liu Sheng promised the emperor to protect the safety of the civil servants, and he also sent Jin Yiwei to try his best to protect the civil servants. However, he did not allow the Jin Yiwei to use weapons and refused to invest more troops. People have to doubt his sincerity in protecting the civil servants.
How many points?
But no matter what, he is still the only savior in the scene. Only by going to him can you ensure safety. No matter how perfunctory Liu Sheng is, he can't let the nobles commit crimes in front of him, right?
But Yang Shiqi also knew very well that once the nobles noticed his intentions and cut off his way in advance, there was absolutely no need to expect Liu Sheng to send someone to rescue him.
So Yang Shiqi tried his best to make detours, not only to cover up his true purpose, but also to gradually get closer to Liu Sheng. Finally, after going through arduous twists and turns, he saw a road leading to Liu Sheng. The distance between the two sides was more than ten feet.
There is no real obstacle in the way!
"No more going around! Rush over!" Yang Shiqi roared out of breath and ran towards Liu Sheng without looking back.
Yang Rong and Jin Youzi heard the order, mustered up their last strength, and ran forward with all their might after Yang Shiqi.
Zhu Yong and others finally noticed their intentions, cursed the three people for being cunning, and chased after them angrily. However, there were still many people between them, so this pursuit was probably in vain...
In the frustrated eyes of Zhu Yong and others, Yang Shiqi and the others successfully rushed out of the crowd and entered the open area. At this moment, there was no obstacle between the three of them and Liu Sheng, and they could escape as long as they ran as hard as they could!
However, something unexpected happened. Yang Shiqi and the others suddenly slipped and fell to the ground in embarrassment!
The three of them struggled to get up and tried to run forward, but they staggered and almost fell down again.
It turned out that the open space between them and Liu Sheng had formed a complete layer of ice because no one had trampled on it, and the rain and snow had quickly condensed.
