Chapter 399: Dead, Alive

For the group of Yanshan guards who followed him to win the world, Zhu Di has always been extremely tolerant. The first generation of Baoding Marquis Meng Shan guarded Liaodong since the first year of Yongle, and when he was recalled in seven years, he was already white, just because of this, after Meng Shan's death, he could be said to be in favor of the Meng family. Among the sons of the marquis, there is only one such person, Meng Xian. It is precisely because of this that he is very tired of this capable but unscrupulous guy.

"Erdi ran around, saying that he was instructed by you, and all of them were your masterminds?"

"Back to the emperor, there is no way for the criminal minister to teach his brother, and the crime deserves death."

"So you don't admit it?" Zhu Di shook off a little eunuch who wanted to sit down with him at this time, and said with a sneering face, "An insignificant Meng San can talk about so many people just by your name, your Meng Xian's face is not small, and his rebellion is not small!" If I torture you under the Jinyi guard, do you dare to say that you can't ask you the slightest reverse? Your father was conscientious and conscientious in the beginning, but unexpectedly gave birth to a good son like you! ”

"The criminal minister is indeed unright, but the criminal minister has never dared to be disrespectful to the emperor, let alone have the guts."

"Of course I know that you don't have that guts, who has that guts in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and who has that guts in the world?"

It was in the open area of Miyagi, and such a roar naturally reached everyone's ears clearly. Some of the military attaches are the second generation, but whether they are military ministers like Zhang Fu who have fought the world from the emperor, they all show indescribable respect on their faces. Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, and even Lu Zhen, Fang Bin and others were the first people to be attached at the beginning, which was very unnatural. And Zhang Yue tasted Zhu Di's fanatical self-confidence, and finally understood why a fierce general like King Han did not dare to move his crooked thoughts of raising troops.

Although the rule of Renxuan has been admired since then, the only way to break some of the accumulated shortcomings is to start with Zhu Di. Only this Son of Heaven has the courage to change the old Hongwu policy, as long as it can really make Zhu Di tempted, it will be like opening the sea ban, and the same thing can be done slowly. And after this incident, the Son of Heaven's unreserved trust in the eunuchs should have been reduced a lot. An old henchman like Huang Yan, who has followed him for decades, can't guarantee it, let alone others?

"Since I ascended the throne, Mongolia in the north, Jiaozhi in the south, the Western countries have surrendered, and the small Eastern countries have paid tribute, but you, you clowns who jump off the beam, dare to fight my idea, and dare to use a bullshit thing to pretend to be a testament! Minister of the Ministry of Robbery? Robbing the prince and the noble? Ask your master who wants to support him, if he dares to sit on this throne! ”

At this moment, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, finally found it difficult to resist the heavy pressure, and knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed again and again with tears in his eyes: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the sons and daughters have never instructed them, they all came up with crooked ideas by themselves!" Now that the eldest brother and the second brother are not in Beijing, these rebels who want to support the royal family can naturally only hit the idea on the sons, but the sons are ...... Keerchen is really wronged! What edicts, what gunpowder, what support, the sons don't know anything at all! ”

"You don't know?" Zhu Di looked at this young son coldly, stepped forward and kicked him in a fight, and then scolded angrily, "When your mother was alive, she said that you were stubborn, and she said that she would discipline you more, but I didn't pay much attention to it, I just thought that you would be sensible when you grew up, but look at what you have done!" If you can't write or not, what point are you like me! ”

Although this kick was not light, compared to the cold and ignorant attitude, Zhu Gaosui, who had received this kick, felt relieved. He was used to seeing his father kill people, and at that time it was someone else who was killed, and when it was his turn, he knew that that kind of sharp gaze alone could kill people. At this moment, he didn't notice Huang Yan's pleading eyes, nor did he notice Li Maofang's angry gaze, he only knew that he could take himself out first.

"Father, don't these guys all say that Meng Xian is the mastermind, and Meng San is in contact? This Meng Sanfen is obviously swaggering, and the father can also ask Meng Xian's ministers if they know. If he says yes, the son is at the disposal of his father! ”

Zhu Di originally wanted to believe that Zhu Gaosui was not involved in this matter, but when he heard this, he was suddenly a little moved. Turning his head to look at Meng Xian, who was looking down, he didn't ask a question, but looked in another direction.

"Yang Rong, do you think King Zhao is complicit with these rebels?"

"Back to the emperor, King Zhao Tianhuang is noble, maybe he was really deceived by these villains."

"Jin Youzi!"

"Your Majesty, this is the emperor's family affair, and the ministers dare not speculate."

"Hmph...... Lv Zhen! ”

"The minister thinks that King Zhao is guilty of negligence."

Seeing Zhu Di asking along a group of civil officials one by one, Zhang Yue couldn't help but rejoice. Fortunately, Du Zhen is neither a minister of the Six Ministries nor a cabinet scholar, so he doesn't have to stand here on such a cold night, and he doesn't have to answer such an extremely difficult question. If Du Zhen stood here, his father-in-law and mentor, who had never had a relationship with him, would most likely ignore the emperor's wishes and say bluntly - "If King Zhao doesn't know, then they will take a puppet to order the world, and they will not be afraid of the army of the king of the world?" ”

However, before his happy energy passed, he suddenly met a cold gaze: "Zhang Yue, you have the most credit for raping today, you tell me, can King Zhao be implicated with these rebels?" ”

Zhang Yue didn't expect Zhu Di to go around and pick him out. In a flash of light, he glanced at the civil officials, and pondered their answers. Yang Rong and Lu Zhen's generation can be called cunning, one avoids the important and takes it lightly, and the other is charged with a light and serious crime, but if you want to say that you want King Zhao to be unlucky. As for Jin Youzi, it is foolish to push the problem back to the emperor at this time, which will either fall into the well, or pull King Zhao to help, and the last thing he needs is to make mud.

At this moment, he also saw the expressions of those princes clearly, the British prince Zhang Fu did not move, Baoding Hou Mengying's face was panicked, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng frowned, and the second uncle Zhang You shook his head slightly...... As for the criminals, they mostly looked at him with resentment. It was he who found out the three customs guards of the celebrant and immediately sent people into the East Factory; It was he who arranged for Wang Yu to enter the palace to face the saint after he came to report the false edict; It was he who found the gunpowder from Beppu, where the Marquis of Fuyang, Li Maofang, was hiding in the golden house; He followed Yuan Fang to bring all the people on the list here one by one, even the bad luck of Huang Yan and Jiang Bao is also indispensable to him.

Since he was the fuse that lit this explosive barrel, should he answer that King Zhao deserved to die for his crimes?

After taking two steps forward, he took a deep breath and said, "The minister thinks that what King Zhao said is true. ”

After the words were shocked, he didn't care how angry the eyes of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, were, and how strange the eyes of the civil and military officials were, he just straightened his waist and said loudly: "Among these people, there are not only royal guards, but also foreign officials and internal supervisors, and many of them are not even related to each other, if someone does not bring them together in the name of King Zhao, I am afraid they may not be connected." King Zhao lives in the palace, and their plans may not be fully understood, but how can the prince not notice any clues? What's more, Meng Sangong's reputation is not as good as a prisoner, and as soon as King Zhao gives it, he will be the position of a thousand households, which undoubtedly gives him the capital to swindle! ”

He was accustomed to seeing Zhu Di's knife-like gaze, and he was unmoved under that kind of scrutiny at this time: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if King Zhao doesn't know about it this time, but this kind of rebel party will plot misdeeds in the name of this, it is also because King Zhao has many misbehaving on weekdays, and many false words are leaked to the outside. ”

In person, Zhang Yue, who was a lowly official, was so opposed, Zhu Gaosui only felt that his lungs were exploding. He almost instinctively wanted to stand up, but it was really not pleasant to kneel on the snow, and his legs stiffened in a moment. Just as he was about to sneer at him, he only felt that someone behind him pulled the clothes behind him, and he was stunned to find that someone was kneeling beside him.

"Grandpa Huang, my father is just used to being rude to his subordinates on weekdays, even if he is drunk and vain, it is only occasional, and he is definitely not intentional!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhanyuan, the king of Anyang, also knelt down with him, Zhu Di coldly remembered the prince of Zhao who had just passed away, and his murderous ruthlessness, which was originally only five points, suddenly weakened by two points. In his opinion, Zhang Yue's words are the truth, and the most important thing is to say it in his heart. He naturally didn't believe it if he didn't know it at all, but if it was said that this son was plotting his life behind his back, he couldn't believe it - and he didn't want to believe it!

"Meng Xian!"

"Back to the emperor, although the criminal minister is dead, he has to say bluntly, my brother should plan to keep the criminal minister in the dark, what does it have to do with King Zhao? The minister was appointed by the emperor to promote King Zhao, but he failed to live up to the grace of the saint and betrayed the trust, and the guilty minister deserved death! ”

After getting such an answer from Meng Xian's mouth, Zhu Di suddenly felt that the wind in the right Shunmen was too strong, and it was uncomfortably cold. Sitting back on the throne with his right hand, he took a deep breath, and then commanded in a deep voice: "King Zhao is confined in the mansion, and he is not allowed to go out unless he wills." Li Maofang, the Marquis of Fuyang, was abolished as a concubine, destroyed the coupons, and imprisoned the west. Meng Xian...... Before the Jiaozhi Army. Huang Yanjiang Bao Changtai was an internal supervisor but fornicated with foreign ministers and was immediately executed. The others were tortured in the Jinyi Prison and were not allowed to die early! ”

After ordering these in one breath, Zhu Di, who was full of exhaustion, glanced at Zhang Yue, and then said: "Zhang Yue Wang Yu has made meritorious deeds, and Wang Yu has awarded Liaohaiwei thousands of households." Zhang Yue, after your reward, I will talk about it, now I will lead five hundred cavalry of the imperial horse supervisor to pick up the crown prince and grandson into Beijing! There is nonsense in those Cambodian posts saying that Donggong is dead, do you think I am a three-year-old child! ”

In the face of such a measure, the civil and military officials praised in unison, while Huang Yan fell directly into the snow with a bang. Meng Xian easily escaped death, and when the two brocade guards came up to carry him away, he naturally wouldn't like Li Maofang and the others to plead and shout grievances, and he couldn't help but think of a thought in his heart that he had never thought of.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? If he had been guarding his wife's grave in Haifeng, would he not be where he is today?
