In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, in the imperial study, Zhu Yujian, who was in his fifties, was wearing a dragon robe and a Wusha winged crown, and sat behind the imperial case with a tired expression.Zhu Yujian's life was full of ups and downs, when he was young, because his grandfather did not like his father, he was claustrophobic in the Tang Palace, and was almost starved to death in the mansion.After inheriting the title of King of Tang, he did not live a good life for a few years, but because he raised troops without authorization, he was stripped of his title by Chongzhen, demoted to Tang Shu, and imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang.After the fall of the Chongzhen Dynasty and the accession of Hongguang to the throne, he was released from prison and restored to his title, but he also did not live a good life for a few days, and he lived a life of exile because of the southern invasion of the Qing army.After that, Zhu Yujian was made emperor, but it was indeed not stable, and the internal and external pressure consumed too much of his energy.It can be said that Zhu Yujian, who has lived for more than 50 years, has not thought of any happiness in his life.The life of hunger and cold in his early years, coupled with the hard work day and night after ascending the throne, has almost dragged down his body.Zhu Yujian, who is now in his fifties, is not as energetic as before.At this time, although Zhu Yujian was a little tired, he still held on and checked the studies of the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Linyuan.Zhu Linyuan is now nine years old, and under Zhu Yujian's strict requirements, he already has the appearance of a little adult.At this time, Zhu Linyuan was reciting the classics that the teacher had just taught to Zhu Yujian, and Pang Tianshou, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, He Ge Lao led a group of cabinet ministers, saying that there is something important to see!"
”Zhu Yujian heard this, but waved his hand, "Let them wait!"
”After speaking, he continued to let Zhu Linyuan recite the book, in Zhu Yujian's opinion, cultivating a qualified successor for the empire was one of the most important things for him at the moment.Pang Tianshou waited for a while, and saw that the emperor had no intention of ending for a while, and couldn't help but whisper again: "Your Majesty, He Ge Lao said that it was about the prince!"
”Zhu Yujian heard the words and looked at Pang Tianshou, who immediately lowered his head and lowered his hand, Zhu Yujian frowned, and then smiled and said to Zhu Linyuan: "Let's be here today!"
The homework taught by the masters, the emperor wants to study well, and come back to me tomorrow!
”Zhu Linyuan saluted obediently, "Erchen understands!"
”Zhu Yujian waved his hand and asked the eunuch to take Zhu Linyuan to Empress Zeng in the harem, and then said to Pang Tianshou: "Let them in!"
”After a short time, He Tengjiao and his entourage entered the imperial study, and then saluted together, "Wait for the ministers to meet Your Majesty!"
”Zhu Yujian waved his hand and said, "Say, what's the report?"
”He Tengjiao immediately took out the two letters, "Your Majesty, the East Palace secretly colluded with other towns to secretly sabotage the national policy of the imperial court and fight against the Holy Will.Please abolish the position of Prince Zhu Yihai!
”Zhu Yujian was slightly stunned, his fatigue was swept away, and his eyes lit up."
Bring it on!"
Zhu Yujian said urgently.Pang Tianshou hurriedly took the letter and forwarded it, and after Zhu Yujian took it, he quickly read it and immediately lifted his spirits.Zhu Yujian wanted to abolish Zhu Yihai for a long time, but he had no excuse, and Zhu Yihai was also very cautious and made up his mind, as long as he did not make mistakes, with his prestige and merits, Zhu Yujian had no reason to abolish him and set up another prince.In the past year, although Zhu Yujian drove some ministers who supported Zhu Yihai out of the imperial court, he had no way to take Zhu Yihai, and he was very depressed.These two letters were tantamount to giving Zhu Yujian an excuse, and he immediately realized the value of these two letters."
He's so bold!"
Zhu Yujian was suddenly furious, "Zhu Yihai actually transferred troops behind my back, and also intended to sabotage the peace agreement, it is simply bold, what does he want?"
”He Tengjiao said: "Your Majesty, the East Palace is intending to raise the incident, hinder the imperial court from cutting the feudal domain, unite the feudal towns, blackmail the imperial court, and seek the throne!"
”Zhu Yujian said angrily: "I must not let him succeed!"
Abolish him now!
”Nowadays, several scholars are all confidants and ministers promoted by Zhu Yujian, but after listening to Zhu Yujian's words, they are still terrified."
Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!"
Zhang Tongchang, a scholar, said anxiously: "The East Palace has the support of the Zhejiang army, and the prestige is very high, not to mention Jiangbei Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen, Jiangdong Zhao Boan each has nearly 100,000 people, let's just say that in this Nanjing city, there are 30,000 Zhejiang troops of Wu Zhaosheng!"
Your Majesty acted rashly, Nanjing is in danger!
The court is in danger!
”Yang Wencong didn't approve of it in his heart, but he stood at the end alone, bowed his head, and didn't say a word, thinking about how to reveal the news.Zhu Yujian was unwilling to let go of such an opportunity, and looked at He Tengjiao, "What does He Gebu think?"
”He Tengjiao said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prince colluded with the feudal town, secretly sabotaged the national policy of the imperial court, committed a serious crime, and must be abolished."
However, the East Palace colludes with other towns and is powerful, and the imperial court must be prepared!
”Zhu Yujian said in a deep voice: "Go on!"
”He Tengjiao said: "Your Majesty, first of all, the imperial court needs to dispatch troops to deal with the rebellion that may be triggered, and secondly, to solve the forces of the East Palace, the key is to control Zhu Yihai, as long as Zhu Yihai is controlled and placed under house arrest, the outer town will be scattered."
At that time, the imperial court will give the title of appeasement, and the situation will be temporarily stabilized!
”Zhu Yujian groaned in his heart, moving Zhu Yihai, and the Ming Dynasty would inevitably cause turmoil.But at the moment, it is indeed a good opportunity, the Zhejiang cadre Zhao Ming is not in Jiangdong, he went to sea to Nanyang, and the general Fang Guoan defected to the imperial court, as long as Zhu Yihai is controlled, Li Chengdong, Zhang Mingzhen, and Wu Zhaosheng may not dare to move.In addition, while the Qing army was attacking Liaodong and containing Donghai Town, the Qing army's own energy was also thrown outside the Guan, and there was no time to look south, which was an excellent opportunity for him to solve internal contradictions.Of course, Zhu Yujian must also consider how he should deal with it in case of a rebellion and whether he has the ability to extinguish it.After pondering for a while, Zhu Yujian suddenly said: "Spread my will, Feng Sun Kewang is the king of Xichuan, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren are the princes of the country, give Fang Guoan's second son a gift of shade, and then dispatch Li Guogong, the prince of Shaanxi, and the Duke of Su Guogao, to secretly lead the troops into Beijing to make a fool's plan!"
”The largest feudal town in the Ming Dynasty was actually not the towns of Zhejiang, but Sun Kewang, who was in charge of most of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, but the place controlled by Sun Kewang was relatively closed and far from the political center, and the threat to Zhu Yujian was temporarily less than that of Zhu Yihai.Previously, Zhu Yujian promised that Sun Kewang would capture Chengdu and make him king, but after Sun Kewang took Chengdu, Zhu Yujian was reluctant to give Sun Kewang the king.Now, in order to prevent the abolition of Zhu Yihai and trigger a rebellion in Zhejiang, Sun Kewang took the opportunity to stir up trouble, and Zhu Yujian finally made up his mind to give Sun Kewang the title of king in order to stabilize the largest feudal town in the southwest.At the same time, he also gave some rewards to his subordinate generals to win people's hearts and cope with great changes.He Tengjiao immediately received the order, "The minister obeys the order!"
”Zhu Yujian said in a deep voice: "Send someone to summon Zhu Yihai into the palace, and order the guards to command Ma Jixiang, who is very happy, lead the armor soldiers, and take the opportunity to control Zhu Yihai!"
