Everyone in the entire court held their breath and couldn't help but look behind the officials, where Zhu Gaosui stood silently without saying a word.
If it hadn't been for Ming Chengzu's question, everyone would have almost ignored the existence of such a person above the court.
Most officials knew very well what Zhu Gaosui's character was.
Let's not talk about what we have done in the past, why we were almost demoted to common people by Mingming Chengzu. Shan Huailai and his party took advantage of the emperor's absence to preside over the hunting, forcing the Minister of War, who was the hunting commander at the time, Hong Tianren.
, dismount and kneel to yourself.
At this point, the officials on the scene have concluded that this person is just a villain who pretends to be powerful. Even if he is given some power, he will not be able to achieve anything great.
Coupled with the subsequent inexplicable assassination incident, the dignified Jinyi Guard Qianhu, no matter how weak his skills were, would not have been chopped in half with a knife.
Is it that Jinyiwei Qianhu was framed in advance and lost the ability to resist, so he split him in half in order to give everyone a shocking and shocking deterrent, or is it that Zhu Gaosui's subordinates originally had such masters hidden in them.
But no matter what the situation was, everyone began to stay away from Zhu Gaosui.
No one believed that Qianhu, a member of the Jinyi Guards, would foolishly go to the Huailai Guard Camp to assassinate Zhu Gaosui. The rights and wrongs involved, rumors spread widely after Zhu Gaosui finally left.
Some people say that Zhu Gaosui wanted to take the opportunity to accuse Jin Yiwei of murdering the prince, take down the senior officials in Jin Yiwei, and then arrange for his own people to enter and control Jin Yiwei.
Some people also say that the assassination exposed a piece of information, that is, there is a peerless master hidden around Zhu Gaosui.
Such a peerless master would not be left to others' control so easily. No one can tell whether Zhu Gaosui is controlling that peerless master or whether he is being controlled by others.
There are even more thoughtful people who actually connected the kidnapping of the prince with the peerless master under Zhu Gaosui. There is only one reason. Only a man who can cut thousands of Jin Yiwei's households in half with one knife can force Dongchang to quietly
Only by transferring the prince can we be able to kidnap the prince from the tightly guarded prison of the Ministry of Justice.
After all, no one has any real evidence, and no one dares to report this matter to the emperor in the form of a memorial.
Even if this matter is true, with the status of Prince Zhu Gaosui, it is very possible to survive.
But if the emperor doesn't want someone to make irresponsible remarks about the prince behind his back, and there is no real evidence, killing the person on the charge of confusing people's hearts is just a blink of an eye.
Now, this person is standing behind the officials without saying a word. Is he just waiting for the prince to return to the palace and take the opportunity to make trouble?
Since the emperor has made up his mind about the prince's return to the East Palace, and he has the favor of all the officials, it would be better to just announce it directly to the court. Why go to the trouble of asking for the opinion of a person who has always been eyeing the throne and has ulterior motives?
Hearing Ming Chengzu's direct roll call, Zhu Gaosui knew he couldn't hide, so he had to hold up his fists, bow deeply towards Ming Chengzu and said: "I would like to inform my father, I have no objections to my eldest brother re-entering the East Palace."
"If you have any objections, just say it in court. If you don't have any objections, you have to help the prince wholeheartedly after he takes over the East Palace." Ming Chengzu said calmly.
At this point, Baiguan suddenly realized.
The emperor didn't ask Zhu Gaosui for his opinion, he was clearly just beating him up in the court hall in front of hundreds of officials.
It seems that the emperor is also very dissatisfied with Zhu Gaosui's performance in Huailaiwei.
In other words, the emperor has also suspected that the person who kidnapped the prince was able to escape the blanket search by the imperial guards in the capital, or had some relationship with his other princes.
After all, the most critical issue for the prince is the succession of the Ming Dynasty.
As for those who are qualified to inherit the throne, except for the three princes, none of the officials in the court can get involved.
"My son, I will wholeheartedly assist my elder brother and make my Ming Dynasty stronger." Zhu Gaosui responded loudly, lowering his head.
"Yes." Ming Chengzu nodded, "In the future, when going to court, don't stand behind the officials. When the time comes, stand with the prince at the front of the officials. After all, you are also a prince and the king of the imperial court.
If you step back, people will misunderstand that you are not responsible. If it comes to the words of some caring people, it means that you do not want to do things for the court and are passive and sabotaging your work."
When he said the last sentence, Ming Chengzu's stern eyes looked at the officials in the court one by one.
No one dared to look directly into Ming Chengzu's eyes at this moment, and all the officials lowered their heads.
Just now, everyone was still thinking that the emperor was just taking this opportunity to beat Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui. How come in an instant, it was the officials who were beaten again?
Let him, together with the prince, stand in front of the officials when going to court. Doesn't this allow King Zhao to participate in the government affairs invisibly?
Why did Zhu Gaosui, who was almost deposed as a commoner because he used despicable means to frame the prince and fight for the throne, suddenly stand at the forefront of the officials?
What is the emperor going to do today?
Dongchang, who made great contributions to retrieving the prince, was not rewarded.
Bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden, the key figure in this incident, Xiao Chen, the purple-clad captain of Dongchang, was still kneeling on the ground at this moment.
However, the emperor promoted the head of the Ministry of Rites, who could only speak some Mandarin, to the rank of commander of the Imperial Guards, and reintroduced Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, who was disliked by all the officials, to participate in the government affairs. He also made a point of mentioning his status in front of all the officials.
When a county king is given a title, he is just afraid that all the officials will forget that he is a county king.
"Yes, I will obey my father's will." Zhu Gaosui replied loudly.
Ming Chengzu nodded with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face: "The officials and the others support Chi'er to take over the East Palace, and the other princes have no different opinions. Then I solemnly announce that Prince Zhu Gaochi will be released from custody in the East Palace from now on."
, is still the Lord of the East Palace."
"Your Majesty is wise." All the officials knelt down and worshiped.
"Thank you, Father, for your grace." Zhu Gaochi also knelt down and worshiped along with everyone.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Ming Chengzu had a smile on his face and slowly waved his hands towards everyone.
"Xiao Chen, you not only cured the prince's leg disease this time, but also reshaped him. How do you want me to reward you?" After the officials stood up, Ming Chengzu turned his eyes to Xiao Chen again and said calmly.
asked.
"No matter whether His Highness the Crown Prince's leg disease is cured or reshaped, or even if the Crown Prince is found again, it cannot conceal the fact that Dongchang failed the Emperor's trust and lost the Crown Prince. The subordinates dare not ask for a reward from the Emperor, they only hope
For the sake of Prince Ping's return, the Emperor will punish everyone in the East Factory lightly." Kneeling on the ground, Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Logically speaking, merit or demerit should not be confused with each other. Seeing that you have cured the prince's leg disease, I will agree to your request. I will not punish everyone in Dongchang for the loss of the prince." Look.
Looking at Xiao Chen, Ming Chengzu gently shook his head, "However, I can't return your unicorn purple clothes to you now. When you completely dig out and eradicate this rebellious force, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Although this unicorn purple garment is temporarily placed here with me, you are still the only purple-robed captain in the Ming Dynasty, and the burden on your shoulders has not been reduced just because you took off the purple garment. Do you understand?"
"I understand, and I will obey the order." Xiao Chen hurriedly replied as he knelt on the ground.
"Okay, everything has been dealt with. If everyone has nothing to report, then we will retreat." Ming Chengzu stood up slowly, his face full of exhaustion.
"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty!" All the officials knelt down again.
With Wang Xiaosi's support, Ming Chengzu took trembling steps. Behind him was Dongchang Chang Gong Lin Shangli, who slowly disappeared from the side door of the hall.
In Prince Zhao's Mansion, Mr. Zhang stood quietly at the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, waiting for the return of Prince Zhao Zhu Gaosui.
"Your Highness, you are back." The guard's voice came from the door.
Zhu Gaosui jumped off the carriage and without even looking at the guard who was questioning him, Zhu Gaosui put his hands behind his back and walked toward the hall with a dark face.
"Your Highness, look at your face, is this going to be a bad start?" Mr. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Seeing the prince's neat figure, my father was overjoyed and made an order on the spot to let him take charge of the East Palace." After saying these words, Zhu Gaosui passed Mr. Zhang, walked straight to his chair in the middle of the hall, and sat down.
Go up.
He put his left arm on the table, looked at the ground, and sulked silently.
"Your Highness did not raise any suspicions?"
"Where is the chance? Besides, when you ask your father the questions, the prince answers them fluently. How can I dare to worry about getting into trouble at this time?"
"Since the answers are fluent, let's create some things that he can't answer to arouse the emperor's suspicion." Mr. Zhang bowed his body and said slowly.
"Oh?" Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but raise his head, "Do you have any idea?"
