"It seems that my fun is not over yet, there is still more fun to come!"
"This..." After hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment and asked softly: "Grandpa Huang, what are you referring to?"
"I just asked you, what time is it now? You said it is noon." Zhu Di's expression was dull, but those who are familiar with the emperor can see at a glance that there is clearly murderous intention looming between his eyebrows!
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji said softly, "It's almost three quarters to noon."
"Calculate the time, it's almost time for those people to arrive." Zhu Di said calmly.
"Who?" Zhu Zhanji is so smart. In fact, he has already figured it out at this moment, but all fools know that the best choice at this time is to hide his clumsiness.
"Those guys who have long disliked me!" Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "Those guys who have long been full of complaints about moving the capital! Those guys who follow your father's lead!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he heard the scolding of the guards downstairs of the city gate: "Stop, don't come near!"
"Bold! We have important matters to face the Emperor. How dare you stop us?!" There were more than one righteous voices, but many! Some were uneven, but they were full of momentum!
"Go away quickly! If you need anything, go back and write! Don't disturb the emperor's cultivation!" Eunuch Yang's voice sounded.
"Bah! You bastard! The Emperor was led astray by you slaves!" The unscrupulous scolding immediately overwhelmed Eunuch Yang's voice.
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Zhanji's face changed greatly when he heard this and he gritted his teeth at the city gate.
"What's this? The more outrageous things are yet to come." Zhu Di didn't seem to care, at least that's what it looked like. After saying that, he said to Zhu Zhanji: "Open the window!"
"This, Grandpa Huang, the dragon body is important..." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly advised.
"Open! Open!" Zhu Di's voice was drawn out, and every word was filled with anger and impatience. It was obvious that the emperor was now like a volcano under the sea. The calm sea surface was just an appearance, and billions of magma would erupt at any time!
"Open it quickly!" Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to tell the eunuch, "Just open one door."
"Open everything!" Zhu Di refused.
"Open them all, open them all." Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to order, opening all the windows in the south.
When the little eunuchs quickly opened the windows, Zhu Zhanji saw the scene outside Chengtian Gate and felt dizzy.
Outside the Chengtian Gate, the scene of dead and wounded, with wreckage everywhere, has been cleaned up by the Shuntian Mansion, but the blood on the ground has not been washed away yet. On the dark red long street with the smell of blood, densely packed people knelt at least on the ground.
Thousands of officials!
There are only so many officials in Beijing, is it possible that Chengdu is here?! Zhu Zhanji swallowed hard and looked back at his grandfather. The anger on Zhu Di's face could no longer be contained...
"What are you going to do?!" Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to step forward, stand at the window, and ask on behalf of his grandfather: "The fire in the palace has not been extinguished yet, so don't cause any more trouble!"
"Your Highness Taisun!" The officials knelt in front of Chengtian Gate. Thousands of voices gathered together. Not to mention the angry bullfight, it was enough to shake Taisun's eardrums. "We are here because of this sky fire!
"
Just as Zhu Zhanji was about to answer, he heard Emperor Yongle snort behind him: "Sky Fire..."
"What kind of sky fire?!" Zhu Zhanji hurriedly conveyed the emperor's emotions and said loudly: "You officials in the imperial court are all enlightened and reasonable people who have been taught by saints?! How come you have listened to the rumors of the White Lotus Demon?
!”
"Your Highness Taisun, not to mention the strange origin of this fire, a few sparks can ignite all three halls!" A middle-aged official with a loud voice and crimson clothes retorted loudly: "Even if this is
The fire was caused by a demon! The demon was born according to the will of God, so it is also a sin sent down by God!"
"That's nonsense!" Zhu Zhanji recognized the official as Wei Gao, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and scolded him with a black face: "Servant Wei, you are still the second minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you actually use such rhetoric as that of a village woman and a fool.
What nonsense are you talking about?! I think you, the Minister of Rites, have come to an end!"
"Your Highness! I came here today and have no intention of going back alive!" Wei Gao took off his official hat and said impassionedly: "If you don't care about this, how can you care about the official hat on your head?!"
"Yes!" The thousands of officials followed suit and all took off their official hats and shouted loudly: "We are here to remonstrate with His Majesty today!"
"Deathly remonstrance?!" Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "You are trying to gain a clear reputation! But you want to label the emperor a fool?!"
"I don't dare!" The expressions of Wei Shilang and others changed slightly, but they continued to say impassionedly: "I am not talented, and I only serve as a minister to the emperor Yao and Shun! That's why I will remonstrate with the emperor! Your Highness, please be careful!"
"Don't talk in circles here, it's not the same thing after all?!" Zhu Zhanji said with a dark face and waved his hand.
"Let them fart if they want!" The emperor behind Zhu Zhanji said in a voice as cold as the northwest wind.
"What on earth has happened to you that warrants such a life or death?" Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to ask, although he knew it very well in his heart.
"I am waiting for you to report with tears in your eyes. I implore your majesty to follow the will of heaven, check the people's sentiments, and immediately declare the return of the capital to Jinling!" After Wei Shilang and other leaders finished speaking, all the officials behind him shouted in unison: "Please accept your remonstrance, your Majesty!"
I am willing to wait until my body is shattered into pieces!"
The terrifying sound actually forced Zhu Zhanji to take a step back involuntarily, and was supported by the emperor behind him. Zhu Zhanji calmed down, looked at Zhu Di with shame, and whispered: "Grandpa Emperor, please move to Qianqing Palace.
My grandson will definitely be taken care of here."
"Haha..." Zhu Di's eyes were gleaming with coldness, and his whole person was full of murderous aura. He still looked a little sickly. He laughed strangely and said: "What a joke! I have never been scared away by anyone in my life! Back then,
Zhu Yunwen used the power of a country to suppress my city, but I did not flinch! Later, Fang Xiaoru and others cursed loudly, but I did not flinch! That time was much more powerful than today. No matter what, those people below had to call me "Your Majesty". At that time, Fang Xiaoru
, Qitai, Tiexuan and the Jianwen old gang scolded me to death. I have heard all the unpleasant words! How can I be afraid of these useless trash who have not accomplished anything?!"
"Your Majesty, please accept your remonstrance! Your Majesty, please accept your remonstrance! Your Majesty, please accept your remonstrance!" Outside the Chengtian Gate, the officials' voices were uniform and overwhelming!
"Then..." Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Di and asked in a low voice: "Please tell me how to deal with it, Grandpa Huang."
"It was supposed to be your father's turn to perform," Zhu Di said lightly, "but I'm really not in the mood to play with them today."
When Zhu Di said this, Zhu Zhanji saw the prince's huge body passing through the Chengtian Gate and appearing in front of all the officials.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing Zhu Gaochi, the officials kowtowed excitedly as if they were seeing a leader.
"Everyone, get up!" Zhu Gaochi stayed at the fire scene for a long time. His face was smoky, his beard and hair were a little curled, and a piece of his robe was burned off. But in the eyes of the officials, his image was unprecedentedly majestic and tall!
This is the sage king of the Ming Dynasty!
"You shouldn't have come here," Zhu Gaochi said with a face full of anxiety: "The emperor is ill, and the emperor is frightened. How can we, as ministers, tolerate it?!"
"Your Highness, please inform the Emperor on our behalf. As long as the decree is announced to move the capital, we will be punished. What are the fears of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan?!" Wei Shilang and other ministers shouted at the top of their voices. They had been holding it in for too long, and they were not even from the Emperor.
From the day they announced the capital move, from the day Zhu Di usurped his nephew's throne and ascended the throne of emperor, they were extremely unhappy with this arrogant emperor!
The sage taught them to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but Zhu Di committed regicide and usurped the throne! The sage taught them to be kind, but Zhu Di was implicated and raped ten tribes! The sage taught them to be considerate of the people and rest with the people, but Zhu Di extorted money and extorted money, so he was so happy! The sage taught them
A warlike person will perish, but Zhu Di is the number one warmonger in the world! The saints taught them that the laws of their ancestors are immutable, but Zhu Di wants to change even the capital of the country!
The ministers' resentment towards the emperor is too numerous to describe, but they dare not speak out because of their lustful power. This time they finally got such an opportunity, how could they not take the opportunity to vent it out! How could His Highness the Prince persuade him...
Zhu Gaochi was persuading him earnestly when he suddenly heard the rumble of footsteps behind him, as well as the sound of chains and wooden sticks hitting the ground, which was frightening...
"If it were normal, I would first ask the prince to persuade them, and then personally issue a warning, and then take action only if the persuasion fails." Zhu Di was in a gloomy mood and said with cold eyes: "But today, I am not in this mood. Zhao Ying should know this.
, so he appeared much earlier."
Accompanied by the emperor's words, hundreds of Dongchang fans wearing pointed hats and white boots, holding long whips, wooden sticks, and iron chains, poured out from the doors on both sides of the Chengtian Gate! In the blink of an eye, they were all watching eagerly.
Line up, standing between the officials and Chengtianmen!
The team separated in the middle, and a group of Dongchang stall stalls appeared in front of the officials, surrounded by Zhao Ying, who had blood-red eyes. Zhao Ying glanced at the officials with cold eyes and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I will wait for you.
Retreat within one stick of incense!" After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Ma De lit a stick of incense, inserted it into the incense burner, and placed it in front of the officials.
The old eunuch's intimidation was still very strong, and the ministers were so shocked that they were speechless for a while. It was not until the incense was half burned that Wei Shilang and others said angrily: "Eunuch! The emperor just listened to the slanders of you thieves! I
I can’t wait to give birth to you!”
Ma De and other senior eunuchs were laughing strangely, but there was no smile on the face of the old eunuch Zhao Ying. At this moment, he was in a state of confusion, and all he could see were the raging fires in the three main halls. How could he be in the mood to say one more word?
"Everyone, please listen to Gu's advice and leave first..." Zhu Gaochi knew Zhao Ying's character very well, and he also knew the emperor's mood at the moment, so he persuaded him anxiously: "I'm begging you all!" After saying that, he flirted.
robe, and slowly knelt down to the officials!
The officials couldn't stand it anymore. The prince is also a king. How can a minister be bowed down by a king? He fell to the ground and cried: "Your Highness, please get up quickly. I am waiting for the death penalty!" There was a lot of crying, and many people were shaken.
