When Jia Zheng heard that Jia Yucun was among them, he felt relieved. He knew that Jia Yucun was from the same clan as his family, and he was also Jia Ke's confidant. Since he was among them, it seemed that nothing big would happen.
.
So Jia Zheng immediately ordered the eunuch to invite the three of them to Kangning Palace for an audience.
Sure enough, within a short time, someone from outside came in to report that it was Fan Kang, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Jia Yucun, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xiao Kun, the commander of the imperial army of Jinchanghou, asking for an audience.
Jia Zheng immediately ordered someone to send the three of them to see him.
After a while, the three people entered the main hall of Mingshou Palace. When they came to the main hall, they saw the Supreme Emperor. Jia Zheng was sitting seriously. So the three people took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground, just like Jia Zheng bowed three times and kowtowed to the emperor and his ministers.
.
After the three people finished saluting, Jia Zheng asked them to stand up, and then asked impatiently: "Why did you lead troops to besiege the palace?"
Jia Yucun, who knew the most about this matter, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and replied to Jia Zheng: "Report to the Supreme Emperor, the ministers and others received the emperor's imperial decree, ordering us to lead troops to besiege the palace, and at the same time capture the Cultural Hall University
Scholar Li Wenbin."
Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this. Which play was Jia Ke singing? He was traveling in the south of the Yangtze River. Why did he think of leading troops to besiege the palace? Could it be that someone in the palace had offended him?
"What does this mean, Your Majesty? As His Majesty's close ministers, you should understand. Please explain it to me."
So Fan Kang stood out from the crowd, knelt on the ground, and continued: "I don't know the details of what happened. I just heard that King Jia Zhi of Chu was causing trouble, so the emperor sent my troops to blockade the palace."
Jia Zheng was shocked after hearing this. He did not expect it to be Jia Zhi. You must know that Jia Zhi is the eldest son. In Jia Zheng's heart, he is the natural heir. He will not rebel against anyone who rebels.
"But I made a mistake? Jia Zhi is the eldest son?"
At this time, the eunuch from outside came in to report that King Jia Zhi of Chu was waiting for him outside the palace.
The three ministers below looked at each other, and they immediately guessed why Jia Zhi came. They knew that the palace was surrounded, and they came to the Supreme Emperor Jia Zheng to seek protection.
When the Supreme Emperor Jia Zheng heard that Jia Zhi was here, he immediately ordered someone to tell him that he was involved in the matter, and he wanted to ask clearly in person.
Jia Zhi entered the hall and looked up, and found three ministers, Fan Kang, Jia Yucun and Xiao Kun, standing in the hall.
Jia Zhi glared at the three of them fiercely, then came to the middle and knelt down to salute Jia Zheng.
"My grandson, King Jiazhi of Chu has met the Supreme Emperor, long live him. Long live him."
Jia Zheng did not ask Jia Zhi to stand up immediately, but asked: "They said that you intend to rebel, is it true?"
After Chu King Jiazhi received the news that the palace was besieged, he knew that the matter had been exposed. However, after thinking about it, he found that he had left no flaws. As long as he refused to admit it, his father could not do anything to him, at most from now on.
Losing the chance to seize the throne, but in this way, at least glory and wealth can be guaranteed.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Jia Zhisi decided that it would be better to seek protection from the Supreme Emperor Jia Zheng. Jia Ke became so angry that he immediately killed himself.
And when he came to Jia Zheng's place, he had already thought that he would grit his teeth this time and never admit it.
Therefore, when he heard Jia Zheng's inquiry, he immediately shed tears of grievance, "The emperor's grandfather Mingjian, as the eldest son, as long as his grandson stays safe, he will have the best chance of getting a big position in the future. How can he use conspiracy to cause chaos? This must be a villain's frame-up.
Grandson, my father listened to the slander and sent people to arrest me."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng nodded unconsciously. What Jia Zhi said hit home in his heart. He did not believe that Jia Zhi would rebel. After all, Jia Zhi had neither money nor power, and he did not have the courage.
But at this time Fan Kang stood up and said: "Whether His Royal Highness the King of Chu conspires to rebel or not is naturally decided by the emperor. As ministers, we are just following orders."
After Fan Kang said this to Chu King Jia Zhi, he raised his hands and said to the Supreme Emperor Jia Zheng: "Now that the truth is not clear, it is better to ask the Supreme Emperor to issue an order to temporarily imprison Chu King Jia Zhi in the palace until the emperor returns.
."
After Jia Zheng heard this, he stopped and said to the eunuch next to him: "I will arrange a room for King Jia Zhi of Chu in Kangning Palace. From now on, King Jia Zhi of Chu will not be allowed to come in or out. You will be responsible for all food and drinks."
."
After receiving Jia Zheng's order, the eunuch immediately went out to do some work and came back soon to report that the room arranged for Jia Zhi was ready.
After Jia Zheng heard this, he turned to Jia Zhi and said, "Just stay with me for a while and wait until your father comes back before making a decision. If you are really unjust, I will definitely give you an apology in front of your father."
."
After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several young eunuchs came in immediately, came to Wang Jiazhi, hugged him in the middle, and pushed him out.
At this time, King Jiazhi of Chu had no choice but to follow these eunuchs out of the hall.
Wang Jiazhi was already suppressed when the Emperor's false documents came out, and he said to the three ministers below: "Now the King of Chu has been imprisoned. In this case, I have been sealed off in the palace."
The three great gods looked at each other, and finally the other two people all focused their eyes on Fan Kang. Fan Kang was a little helpless and could only stand up and report back, "Back to the Supreme Emperor, this decree comes from the Emperor, and there is no way for the Emperor to withdraw."
How dare we withdraw our troops privately despite the order of blockade. If there is any inconvenience, please forgive me."
Jia Zheng also fell silent after hearing this. He, the Supreme Emperor, was just a clay puppet with no power at all in the court. It was understandable that these ministers did not listen to him.
"Since this is the case, let's wait until the emperor comes back to deal with it."
Jia Zheng was also angry. After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left the main hall of Kangning Palace with the eunuch.
The three civil and military officials in the palace looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It seemed that this matter had offended the Supreme Emperor.
So the three of them could only sigh and leave Kangning Palace.
Besides, Jia Zhengqi hurriedly left the main hall and returned to the harem. Just as he sat down to drink some tea, an eunuch from Ningshou Palace came over to ask what happened in the palace.
As soon as Jia Zheng heard this, he knew that this incident had alarmed the old lady, so Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered people to set up their vehicles and went to Ningshou Palace in person to explain it to the Empress Dowager Jia Mu.
After hearing this, Jia's mother let out a long sigh. She was not as simple as Jia Zheng. Since Jia Ke had waged such a big war, it seemed that King Jia Zhi of Chu had done something shameful after all.
"Don't blame the Emperor for this matter. Everyone in the palace should be honest these days. If you have been wronged in any way, wait until the Emperor comes back to complain to him."
After Jia Zheng listened to Jia Mu's words, he saw that there was no trace of blaming Jia Ke in his tone.
At this time, no matter how simple Jia Zheng was, he could still feel something fishy. So Jia Zheng nodded and decided not to care about this matter anymore.
After Jia Zheng left, Jia's mother could not help but reveal a smile.
It turned out that Jia's mother had long been taboo about the identity of Chu King Jia Zhi. She did not want half of the empire her family had built to fall into the hands of the previous dynasty.
It's better now. It's no one else's fault that King Jiazhi of Chu is seeking his own death.
But Jia Mu was happy in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. King Jia Zhi of Chu was also her great-grandson after all. If she was happy when she saw something happened to him, wouldn't it look too cold?
As for Xiao Yue, after taking over the defense of the capital, he immediately led thousands of troops to Li Wenbin's house and surrounded the house without saying a word.
The noise outside immediately woke up the people inside, and soon the entire Li Mansion became brightly lit.
Then the door creaked open, and then an old housekeeper poked his head out and looked outside. He was horrified to see that the door was surrounded by soldiers.
The old butler immediately closed the door, turned around and ran towards the inner house.
Li Wenbin had already packed up the house and walked out of the bedroom. As soon as he saw the old housekeeper, he asked: "What's going on here? It's so noisy."
The old housekeeper was out of breath, but he still tried his best to calm down his breath, "Go back... back to the master, outside... outside... has been surrounded by officers and soldiers."
As soon as Li Wenbin heard this, he already understood what was going on. It seemed that something had happened.
Although Li Wenbin had long been mentally prepared for failure, the actual arrival of the news still made him tremble.
But he tried his best to calm down, then waved his hand and said to the old housekeeper: "Don't panic, you guys wait outside for now, I will go back and have a word with my wife, and I will go to the front in a moment."
Li Wenbin turned around and went into the inner house to bury himself in his bedroom. This was his wife. She was fully dressed and was about to go out to see what was going on. When he saw Li Wenbin come in, he immediately asked: "Master, what's going on outside?
"
Li Wenbin didn't say anything else. He just took his wife to a corner of the room and said in a voice that only she could hear: "I'm in big trouble this time. I'm afraid I'll be headless. I think
When the emperor comes back, madam, please help me plead for mercy. When we were in Rongguo Mansion, madam took great care of the emperor, and now this love may save my life."
The woman was shocked when she heard Li Wenbin's words, "Master, what on earth did you do? You actually asked the emperor to send someone to get you."
Li Wenbin took a breath, and then said: "It was because I was greedy for glory and failed to control my greed that I caused today's disaster. Madam, there is no need to ask."
While the two of them were talking, the old housekeeper ignored the rules and ran into the inner house like crazy.
"I'm sorry, sir, those soldiers have already broken in."
After hearing this, Li Wenbin knew that he could not delay any longer, so he grabbed his wife and told him again, "You must ask the emperor. If the emperor does not agree, you can ask the Queen Mother Zhou. This may save my life."
After Li Wenbin said this, he let go of his wife's hand and walked out of the room.
