Chapter 274: Forcing the Palace
Before the noon gate, Xu Yaozu, who was determined to trick Xu Huizu into the palace and forcibly killed, gave his son Xu Wen a look, and immediately after the matter was completed, the soldiers were divided into two ways, he went to see Zhu Yunwen slandered Xu Da's father and son for attempting to rebel, and his son took people to the Wei State Mansion to kill all the people and kill the people, and kill people first.
The reason Xu Yaozu has thought about it, the death of his son Xu Ji was because he refused to obey the family's desire to poison the emperor's grandson, and was murdered by Xu Hui's grandfather and son, and the mastermind behind it was Xu Da, the Duke of Wei.
Xu Yaozu is very sure of this. The person who the first emperor's grandson had the most scruples about was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and he couldn't help but believe that Xu Da wanted to cooperate with his son-in-law and conspire to subvert the imperial court, so he gave the imperial grandson the most excuse to cut the domain.
The second emperor has been suspicious of his second uncle for more than ten years, and he wants to be a calmer and graceful person, isn't it just to hope for righteousness to kill his relatives? As a courtier, you should share the worries of the monarch.
The so-called urgent power, Xu Yaozu didn't have time to think in detail, at this time, for the sake of his life, glory and wealth, he didn't care that he would become the finger of Wanfu in the future, as a Jinyi guard, he had to have the consciousness that his six relatives did not admit to being scolded and ruined, Xu Yaozu was at ease at the moment to be a butcher's knife in the hands of the royal family, as long as he could be regarded as a confidant by the new emperor, who would dare to talk more?
Seeing that the fifty guards of the Xu family were blocked out, Xu Huizu strode into the palace gate alone, and Xu Yaozu said in a murderous voice: "Do it." ”
A few henchmen in the back rushed forward with a sly smile and slashed at it, but Xu Huizu turned around with a disdainful expression, and saw a team of government army guards with bows and arrows running out behind the fight, and for a while, the arrows were fired in unison.
Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion.
In the faint candlelight, Zhu Yunwen knelt on his knees in the shadow in front of the collapse, and choked up: "It has been verified that the group of Fang Pavilion was controlled by Xu Hao, so as to design the Xu family to kill each other, Xu Jingqin and Xu Ji both died tragically. It was to pacify Xu Yaozu and make his son Xu Wen and his henchmen want to assassinate Xu Huizu, the governor of the left capital, in the forbidden palace, wanting to create chaos and take the opportunity to hold Bixia hostage. Xu Hao held the holy decree and wanted to lead the fourth uncle of the emperor into Beijing. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying on the collapse of the old dragon bell, listened to this rebellion full of loopholes, slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly: "I want to have real evidence, where is Xu Hao now, can he be arrested?" ”
Zhu Yunwen said hatefully: "This thief has long disappeared without a trace. ”
"Impossible." Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and coughed violently, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly brought over the spittoon with both hands, the emperor relieved his breath for a long time, looked at the imperial grandson with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "Then send someone to arrest me, it can be regarded as blind." Where is Mei Yin? ”
Zhu Yunwen bowed his head and said: "Fortunately, Mei Yuma entered the palace at that time, killed Xu Yaozu in time, and rescued Xu Dudu, Mei Yuma led the troops to arrest Xu Wen and his family who escaped in chaos, and was not in the palace at this time. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Without my permission, whose will will be used in vain?" What about the Three Princes? What about the six books? ”
As a result, no one responded, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart immediately sank, and he heard Zhu Yunwen say softly: "At that time, the saint was unconscious. The child had no choice but to invite the Duke of Wei to sit at the noon gate. ”
"Xu Da?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed secretly in his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief on the surface, "Quickly announce that he will come in to see me." ”
Zhu Yunwen said: "The boss is afraid that he will not be able to face the saint, what does Bixia have to say?" Outside the current hall, there is Qi Tai, the squire of the military department. The East Palace is accompanied by Hanlin and compiled by Huang Zicheng. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "What qualifications do the two of them have to participate in state affairs?" entered the palace with three princes and six kings. ”
"Back to Bixia." Zhu Yunwen suddenly said aloud with a calm expression: "Xu Hao invited to favor Bixia, and his henchmen are all over the guards, in order to prevent mutiny, at this time, the child has ordered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to close the palace gate and block the capital. No one is allowed to enter or leave the noon gate. ”
"You!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply at the emperor and grandson who had completely recovered his spirits, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, very good." You can be so decisive, I can leave the country to you, you can be completely relieved. ”
Zhu Yunwen said excitedly: "The child is also forced to help himself, and I hope that Bixia will understand." ”
"You're doing the right thing!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "I remember that you just said that Xu Hao holds the holy decree, could it be that your fourth uncle has already led troops to surround the Forbidden City?" ”
Zhu Yunwen was stunned, and Ai Ai said: "No, no, this is the information sent by Shi Gecheng, the governor of the Yanwang Mansion, that Xu Hao rushed to the north with a false holy decree, and the fourth uncle is raising troops to go south into Beijing, and the child has ordered Xu Huizu, the governor of the left capital, to hold the edict to stop it." ”
"How dare this rebel leave the fiefdom without will? Xu Hao dared to forge a holy decree to lure foreign vassals into Beijing? This pair of bastard things. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's pale face flushed, and he shouted: "It is rumored that the two of them will enter the palace to see me immediately, and I will interrogate them personally." ”
Zhu Yunwen sneered: "What is there to interrogate, your imperial uncles have long been dissatisfied with the inheritance of the great treasure by the children, and they have been arrogant and rude when they have seen the children over the years, especially the fourth uncle who has made great achievements in holding heavy troops and never put me in his eyes, the two of them are obviously trying to usurp the throne, and you still have to cover up at this time?" ”
"I see, you're finally telling the truth." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and laughed at himself: "It seems that Yun Wei is ready for everything, only the east wind is owed, then I will be fulfilled by you tonight." ”
Although Zhu Yunwen was prepared in his heart, the emperor's grandfather was stubborn and would not change his mind easily, even if he knew that he was forcing the palace, he couldn't help but be ecstatic at this moment, he just had to wait until the emperor's father canonized him to inherit the throne, otherwise how could he face the ministers and govern the world with peace of mind?
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other happily, and hurriedly walked in with pen and ink, Zhu Yuanzhang actually made an edict with a smile.
Soon after the three satisfied monarchs and ministers came out, Huang Zicheng was ordered to add a few more sentences, the full text is as follows.
The emperor's edict said: I am ordered by the emperor, I have a great life in the world, I will be in trouble and chaos, and I will live in the city and the people, and I will take care of the mandate of heaven for thirty-one years. Worry about danger, work hard every day, and concentrate on benefiting the people. However, it started from a humble beginning, without the ambition of the ancients, good and evil, not too much. There is one in seventy this year, the muscles are weak, the day and night are afraid, but I am afraid that it will not end, and now I have the natural principle of all things, and its ridicule is there?
The emperor's grandson Renming is filial piety. The world returns to the heart, it is advisable to ascend to the throne, to be diligent in civil affairs, Chinese and foreign civil and military ministers to assist in the same heart, to bless our people, and all funeral ceremonies are as different as in Chinese. Announce to the world, so that you know your intentions. The mountains and rivers of Xiaoling are because of this. Nothing has changed.
1. The subjects of the world have been ordered to come out for three days, and they are all released, and there is no prohibition on marriage and drinking.
2. When the people of no hair cry in the palace, all those who come are in the palace, each with fifteen sounds, mourning, and the salute is finished. Don't cry until the end of the day.
3. Give to those who mourn and weep, and do not hesitate. The ribbon is no more than three inches, and there is no cloth weapon.
Fourth, the kings are crying in their own countries, and there is no need to go to Beijing, and Chinese and foreign officials and soldiers are not allowed to leave the place of faith without permission, and they are allowed to send people to Beijing.
5. The civil and military yamen soldiers where the kingdom is located will listen to the imperial court in the future. The guards were punished by themselves.
6. Those who are not in the order are engaged in this order.
Therefore, it is hereby decreed that it is advisable to know.
In the East Warm Pavilion. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was stimulated by this, was already angry, but he still held his eyes open.
The emperor didn't believe that Xu Hao would be so ill-intentioned, Xu Hao was bold and would never drag his feet, but he would never risk his life. The coercion of the emperor is located in the fourth son Zhu Di? How ridiculous! How many powerful ministers who have done this throughout the ages will have a good end? It is not uncommon for the whole clan to be killed afterwards, Xu Hao is well aware of the past and present, and will never make such a decision.
Not to mention that he has long had no henchmen in the Jinyi Guard, and he has nothing to do with the entire Praetorian Guards and all parties in the capital. Almost no party members have ever been cultivated.
In the past few years, Xu Hao has expressed his intention with practical actions and passed on to Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang knows this, Xu Hao has never said a bad word about Zhu Yunwen. has not done a single evil thing against Zhu Yunwen, and has never tried to change anything.
After the death of the third son King of Jin, the emperor once began to suspect Xu Hao, thinking that perhaps he conspired with Zhu Di to kill the King of Jin in secret, paving the way for the future competition for the throne in advance, so he gave him a holy decree to calm his heart, because Xu Hao has an advantage is to renew his promise, and after he enters the palace to announce the decree to assist Zhu Yunwen to make all the concubines martyred, he will immediately put him under house arrest, and once Zhu Di has the ambition to compete for the throne, he will be given Xu Hao to death.
I never expected that I was forced to the palace by Yun Wei, and I didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was Xu Da, who had been a turtle with a shrunken head for ten years, and as soon as he made a move, he lost any chance to resist.
Xu Da and his son did not choose a son-in-law but chose to be loyal to the crown prince, so they easily won the unanimous support of Mei Yin and other Praetorian Guard generals and all the nobles of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly without a trace of resentment: "Old man, you obviously want me to be embarrassed before I die!" ”
At the same time, Xu Cuiyun followed behind Zhang Meiren who was holding her daughter in fear, and she didn't know where to go.
Xu Cuiyun is still confused, after dinner, she was bullied by the palace people as always, and after cleaning up the leftovers, she squatted by the ditch to wash the dishes, and heard the palace people running to say that Zhang Meiren wanted to see her.
At that time, I saw the future queen Ma for the first time, and the first time I saw Xu Hao's godmother Zhang Meiren, it turned out that Zhang Meiren learned that she had entered the palace to come to visit, and she was angry after seeing that she was in charge of cheap labor, and said that she wanted to go with her, and Ma agreed without thinking.
Later, he was sent out of the East Palace by the Ma family, and he didn't go far to come to Gonggong Li, sent away the other palace people, and took Zhang Meiren and himself to choose a remote path and walked here.
Hey! Is this the Raccoon Bureau? Xu Cuiyun frowned and looked around, wanting to find her two maids.
At this moment, two janissaries approached briskly in the distance, and one of them whispered, "The clothes are ready." ”
Gonggong Li, who had a sharp throat, had a sweaty face and urged: "Niangniang comes with the old slave, and you come too." ”
Xu Cuiyun became alert, took a few steps back and said nervously: "Could it be that you want to escape from the palace?" I'm not leaving, I'm the woman of the emperor's grandson. ”
Zhang Meiren said in surprise: "You kid still want to stay in the palace?" ”
Xu Cuiyun said firmly: "As a woman of the imperial grandson, the slave family can't run away regardless of her name, I want to go back." ”
Father-in-law Li paused angrily and said: "Why are you so confused, your father and your two brothers died under the knife, what are you doing in the palace?" Waiting to die? ”
Xu Cuiyun's body trembled, and she said in disbelief: "No, you're lying to me." ”
Gonggong Li was anxious and said angrily: "What are you lying about? The sky is about to fall, and it will be too late if you don't leave at this time, if it weren't for Lord Xu's face, who would save you? ”
Xu Cuiyun shed tears in despair, shook her head vigorously, and Zhang Meiren said sadly: "If it weren't for her daughter, how could this palace be able to steal her life?" Cuiyun, go away with me, aren't there still old ladies and uncles and aunts alive in your family. (To be continued......)
