Chapter 700: The Tree Falls Down? The tree counts the ledger backwards

Han Wang is gone!

The Han Domain has been pacified!

Two news in a row made people up and down the capital feel unexpected. Since ascending the throne, Zhu Zhanji has dealt with it on the surface, even when he learned the news of Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion, his face still did not change, but he attached great importance to this uncle in his heart after all-after all, the Han Fan is a banner for countless people with two hearts, and it is also the enemy he must take; In the eyes of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, after this battle, the young emperor can be regarded as truly establishing his authority, and he can also show benevolence and righteousness to the world.

However, this Han King Zhu Gaoxu, who once caused countless things and was so domineering that he turned a blind eye to everything, actually just died! Moreover, as soon as he died, Le'an no longer had the fighting spirit, and even begged for the crime of begging!

Although as an emperor, he could not go out of the palace as freely as when he was the crown prince and grandson, but with the careful and thoughtful arrangements of those eunuchs, coupled with the fact that he was coming to the mansion of King Zhou, Empress Dowager Zhang did not stop him. At this moment, he was sitting and playing chess with Zhu Ning in the dense bamboo forest behind the Splendid House, and seeing that the last shot was a big victory, he suddenly felt unhappy.

Zhu Ning and Zhu Zhanji have known each other for more than a day or two, and they know the temperament of this young supreme, so they also took advantage of the situation to throw the sunspot in their hands into the purple gold bowl, clapped their hands and smiled: "But the emperor thinks that the peace of this Han domain is different from what he expected, so he is in a bad mood?" If you want me to say it, King Han was originally a cowardly person on the outside and on the inside, and there is nothing wrong with this now. You don't need a knife to kill chickens, and the emperor drove the expedition in person, which was originally to deter villains. Now the three or two people have come to Shandong, which has caused the king of Han to defeat himself, showing the emperor's wisdom. ”

Zhu Zhanji has watched Zhu Gaochu fly and dominate since he was a child, and everything has to ride on the head of his father Zhu Gaochi, and the dissatisfaction and anger have long been not a day or two. What's more, when he returned to Beijing from Nanjing after a funeral, Zhu Gaoxu dispatched troops to intercept him along the way, and even specially sent people who knew him, obviously wanting to put him to death. If it weren't for the fact that as an emperor, he needed to remember benevolence and righteousness all the time, where would he send someone to send a handwritten letter when Zhu Gaochu first rebelled, and directly ordered a requisition.

"Aunt Ning's words are good, but after all, I have been in the shadow of the Han Domain for so many years, and now I have so comically pacified the Han Domain, but I always feel unhappy!" When the first news came, Zhu Zhanji expressed relief and joy in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, saying that if he didn't need to add swords and soldiers, Shandong would be peaceful, which was exactly what he wanted, but at this moment he didn't want to hide his true thoughts, "What he owes his father and the emperor is also what he owes me, it's too cheap to let him die like this!" ”

Compared with the two generations of kings Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, everyone said that Zhu Zhanji was both civil and military, gentle and elegant, and the most exemplary of a human monarch, but at this moment, seeing this irritable and angry young emperor, Zhu Ning couldn't help but want to sigh. In addition to the emperor, most of the children of the Zhu family will not hide their violent side, even her father has times when he is angry and kills, but Zhu Zhanji has been called a good saint grandson since he was a child, and then he is the prince of benevolence and filial piety, and he rarely shows his true temperament. If this scene was seen by those East Palace masters and Yang Shiqi's ministers, she could only pretend not to see it.

"If you die, you will die, what is the emperor fighting with a dead man? Besides, now that all the sons of the Han Dynasty have been relieved to the capital, when the time comes, they will prostrate and kowtow to ask for sin, and no matter how honorable they are in the past, they will all be prisoners. If the king of Han is under the spring, he will let Le'an centrifuge up and down if he knows that his son is so pustuated, he will be more unwilling than the emperor, right? It's King Zhao...... The emperor should now consider King Zhao, not a dead man. ”

Although the national funeral has passed on the 27th, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Ning are both members of the Zhu family, so they are both vegetarians, and there are no snacks, vegetables and fruits on the table, just a glass of water for each other. Zhu Zhanji, who had just taken a sip of water, heard Zhu Ning talk about King Zhao, and suddenly remembered the chaos caused by King Zhao back then, so he frowned and put down the water glass.

"At the beginning, the Meng Xian brothers tried to poison and murder Emperor Taizong, and they were each responsible for the failure, but afterwards, King Zhao and King Anyang got out lightly and skillfully, how could it be so cheap! The son seeks his father, and the sin is unforgivable! What's more, Yuan Jie has sent someone back to send back the news that the Han Palace's palace has copied and inspected many letters exchanged between King Zhao of Han, many of which are naked discussions about the great rebellion. I don't want to let him go, but there are many remnants of the Taizu clan, but the emperor's grandfather canonized only the Zhao Domain of the Han Domain, if they all withdraw the seal at once, it will be too much, and it will make others laugh at it......"

Seeing Zhu Zhanji standing up as he spoke, he muttered to himself while pacing, where did Zhu Ning not know that this was different from just now, she could advise at that time, but at the moment he just wanted someone to listen, not any advice. So, she sat quietly on the stone bench with a water glass, but her eyes looked through the layers of bamboo forests to the sky that was only showing stars.

She took over the errand of temporarily ruling the harem, and now Empress Dowager Zhang has also fulfilled her promise. Jin Yiwei got a lot of illegal evidence from the king of Ruyang, and now the king of Ruyang has seized the title and imprisoned, and her brother Xin'an, the brother of her mother's compatriots, has also been punished, and the palace of the king of Zhou has finally stopped a lot. In this way, his father Zhu Hu should also be able to live in peace and stability. This time, the Han Dynasty is flat, and the world is decided, and her future life should be dull.

"King Zhao is certainly a big crime, but then again, Emperor Taizong's treatment of the Meng family that day was light. Even if you are a hero, it is a great sin to seek the king with a minister...... Aunt Ning thinks, do I ask Uncle Zhao Wang, or do I ask for this matter? Is it to punish the Meng family seriously to set an example, or to stop mentioning this matter again, in order to collect the heart of the noble? ”

When Zhu Zhanji suddenly mentioned the Meng family just now, Zhu Ning had already sobered up, and when he heard this last question, his brows suddenly wrinkled into a big pimple, and he shook his head and said: "The emperor asked the wrong person in this matter, this is a major matter of government affairs, you should ask those ministers of the ministry, the cabinet and the court, how can there be a reason to ask a prince and a county lord." ”

"But I heard that Aunt Ning had a good relationship with the daughter left by Meng Xian, and when she saw that I was annoyed, she didn't intercede?"

"Private friendship is private friendship, political affairs are political affairs, the queen mother still refused the invitation to hang the curtain, let alone a prince and county lord? The emperor came to King Zhou's Mansion to relieve his boredom, but I didn't hear anything just now. ”

Seeing that Zhu Ning actually blocked all his words without leaking, Zhu Zhanji suddenly shook his head helplessly, but he was extremely satisfied in his heart. He is now the Son of Heaven, and even those concubines in the harem either want to say something from him, or want some other benefits for their own family, but he didn't misunderstand Zhu Ning, she is different after all. After staying and sitting for a while, he got up to say goodbye, and Zhu Ning had to send him to the gate in person.

However, looking at the entourage at the door who were both vigilant and preparing horses, Zhu Zhanji suddenly said to Zhu Ning behind him without looking back: "I can return to Beijing safely, although I have the merit of Yuan Jie and Yuan Qing's subordination, but those few members of the Meng family are also meritorious, so I have already ordered the Meng family to remove their slavery and reward them and their families generously." Yuanjie's eldest sister married the son of the Marquis of Baoding, and this selfishness is also ordinary. With his merits, since he wants to protect a Meng clan, I will naturally not be embarrassed anymore. Aunt Ning has a clear distinction between public and private, and I am very relieved. If you're a man, I'll probably have a big help. ”

Seeing the group of people get on their horses and leave, Zhu Ning, who was still standing at the gate, couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. If you want to say that there is a clear distinction between public and private, how can there be so many people in the world who can distinguish between public and private, she naturally cares about her close friends, but Zhang Yue has already helped the Meng family in Mingli, and no matter how much she does, it will be self-defeating. Moreover, if she was a talented clan man, how could Zhu Zhanji rest assured to talk to her?

After returning to the palace, Zhu Zhanji first went to Renshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Zhang, and had lunch there before coming out. As soon as he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he instructed Wang Jin, who came forward, to Liu Yongcheng to transfer some proper and capable people, and the two of them went to Qingzhou Mansion together, and instructed Liu Yongcheng to escort the sons of the Han King back to the capital first, while Wang Jin stayed there and Zhang Yue to do the next thing, and specially pointed out the Tianjin Sanwei.

Wang Jin heard Zhu Zhanji specifically mention the word Tianjin, and immediately understood that it was the encounter with the canal and waterway that made Zhu Zhanji angry. It is no wonder that the emperor was annoyed, Tianjin Sanwei has always been one of the southern gates of the capital, and when the pioneer Zhu Di died, he also ordered strict vigilance there. If there were really officers colluding with the King of Han, then the first emperor Daxing was fortunate not to break out when he ascended the throne, if it broke out, Tianjin would have defected, what kind of scene would the capital have?

Liu Yongcheng and Wang Jin took more than 100 people from the imperial horse prison to Shandong not long after, and several ministers of the DPRK and China jointly made a statement, saying that Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, and Zhu Gaoxu, a Han Shu, had conspired against him for a long time, and now that the Han domain was peaceful, he should move his troops to Zhangde Mansion and capture the king of Zhao in one fell swoop, otherwise there would be a conquest on another day. As soon as this proposal came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, some supported like Jianyi Xia Yuanji, some hesitated like Yang Rong and Du Zhen, but there were also those who were resolutely opposed by Yang Shiqi...... In the midst of the discussion of the ministers, Zhu Zhanji temporarily postponed the decision on this matter, but did another thing.

Liu Guan was greedy and couldn't do it, and he asked in Jinyiwei!

After Zhang Yue, who was still in Le'an, met with Wang Jin and Liu Yongcheng, he immediately handed over the hot county kings to Liu Yongcheng, and then looked for those correspondence with Wang Jin from the study of the Han Palace. When he learned that he couldn't do anything to Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, and Zhu Zhanji, who was holding back his anger because Zhu Gaoxu died too quickly, directly sent Jinyiwei out and imprisoned Liu Guan, who had only been sent out of the capital to inspect the waterways of the Yellow River.

It is said that it is the order of breaking the county and destroying the door Yin, he is better, he will kill wherever he goes, except for the previous trip to Nanjing, which was barely peaceful, the rest of the place is almost everywhere The head is on the ground - even if sometimes it is to cut off the enemy's head on the battlefield. It's the same this time, Zhu Zhanji's meaning turned out to be that since he, the imperial history of the left capital, has done it, he should be greatly powerful, so this time the task of dealing with those officers who colluded with Zhu Gaoxu to prepare to raise the city or raise troops to respond, this task was completely handed over to him.

"Lord Xiao Zhang, which of the names of these nobles is not piled up with human heads, it is the British duke, and the reputation in Jiaolu is also created by killing people and building Beijing. It's a bad thing to be murderous to others, but it's a good thing to you. Take this time as an example, you went on a killing spree in Weihaiwei, and there was only applause in the court, and no one was impeached, is it possible to change it in the past? Now it's not the past, you don't have any constraints, although our family is here, you can just look at the specific things, don't say that the emperor has a life, even the queen mother also has a life, our family will never interfere! ”

Zhang Yue naturally trusted Wang Jin's character, but for such a so-called "Liwei" errand, he wanted to break his fingers and calculate how many heads he should cut off at that time. packed those large boxes of things from the Han Palace's Mansion to Le'an Yamen, and he didn't need anyone else, so he took Peng Shisan to sort out this letter with all his energy. When he saw the long list that had been copied, not to mention that he was in a heavy mood, even Peng Shisan, who was rubbing his wrists, was pale.

"Tianjin, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, Shanxi, Jinan...... So many people are implicated! I just roughly counted, from the governor to the general banner of one hundred households, there are about five or six hundred people...... "Peng 13 had cut off countless heads on the battlefield, but at this moment he felt his scalp tingle, "If all of these are punished as capital crimes, plus the other people implicated in the letter, and the clansmen who should be punished according to the joint punishment...... After this case is handled, in the future, young master, you will become a butcher even if you are not a butcher! Even if you didn't kill people, or even if you didn't kill them, it can be said that they all died at your hands. ”

Zhang Yue knew very well that those letters in the study of the Han Wangfu could not be faked, nor could they be faked. Those who write letters that are outright and even outspoken in their claims to surrender their troops are guilty of rebellion, and the names mentioned in the correspondence are among the ones that can be considered, and he will do his best to be considerate. After all, those were all officers who had been on the battlefield, and now they were all killed, and the people who filled these positions were all inexperienced chicks. Now it seems like it doesn't matter, but when the next day comes to war, it's the biggest worry! However, no matter when the Han Dynasty fell, the imperial court had to pay the price for standing on the wrong side, and the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime was unforgivable, no matter what time the political struggle was.

Seeing that Zhang Yue was silent, Peng Shisan had no choice but to ask: "If it is really difficult, does the young master want to write a letter back and discuss with the British princess?" ”

Zhang Yue shook his head, thinking that Zhu Zhanji's young man was on the throne, and he was afraid that he would use this matter to deter Xungui. And the nobles were easily pacified because of the Han Domain, and no one would come forward to protect these vain plotters, and the same was true for the British Gong Zhang Fu.

"Don't alarm the hall uncle about this. Liu Dushuai easily returned to Beijing after finishing things, leaving me to face such a situation. Work hard tonight, be a scribe for me. I knew this earlier, I should have taken Li Guoxiu and Rui Yixiang back to Beijing, they were just needed at this time, but now they can't be saved from the near fire. ”

Although Peng Shisan's handwriting was okay, he still had a bitter face at this time. He would rather kill with a knife than write with a pen - not to mention, every stroke he wrote this time was a real dead man!
