A knife in love

Chapter 1133

Li Qiufeng and the other three listened to Zhu Shishi's words. Although they didn't know what he wanted to say, they were quite interested.It's just that Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang just ate a few mouthfuls of dishes and didn't drink alcohol.Humpty Humpty poured his own drink, very chic.

I only heard Zhu Shishi say: "When the king said this, he asked me if I also thought Song Taizu was a pedantic person. I was young and energetic at that time, and I didn't have any scruples in speaking, so I said boldly that Song Taizu was a good person, but He can't be called a good emperor. If he didn't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, he wouldn't let Zhao Guangyi usurp the throne, causing his sons to have no good end.

"After hearing this, the late king sighed, glanced at me, and said slowly, after Zhao Guangyi became emperor, several adult sons of Song Taizu died inexplicably, and the rest of the descendants were also unknown. But because of this, the descendants of his line ended up well. Although Song Taizong became the emperor, more than 100 years later, the Song Dynasty suffered the shame of Jingkang, and the Hui and Qin emperors were taken away by the Jin people. Thousands of concubines, concubines, princes, princesses, and relatives of the emperor were also taken to Wuguo City by the Jin people, and they were humiliated along the way. In the following decades, most of these noble royal families were tortured to death and returned to Lin'an There were only a few Liao and Liao people. And these people were all descendants of Zhao Guangyi. When Song Gaozong fled to Lin'an, although he became emperor, he was oppressed by the Jin Kingdom and became a vassal of the Jin Kingdom. Thinking of restoring the Central Plains, he appointed the treacherous minister Qin Hui, killed the loyal minister Yue Fei, and left him with eternal infamy. Song Gaozong was also a descendant of Zhao Guangyi, and the people of later generations would naturally scold Zhao Guangyi's descendants for being unworthy. Moreover, Song Gaozong's son died early. Heirs, in the end, had no choice but to take Zhao Shen, the eighth grandson of Taizu, as the adopted son and make him the crown prince. The throne was finally transferred to the line of Song Taizu. In the final battle of Yashan, the entire army of Zhao and Song was wiped out, and the minister Lu Xiufu threw the little emperor into the sea. Death did not disgrace Song Taizu's reputation. Later generations will give a thumbs up when they mention Song Taizu. It is because of God's will in the dark. Song Taizu is benevolent and has done three good deeds to keep his descendants safe. Zhao Guangyi is usurping power and seizing the throne , The retribution fell on his descendants, and only then did Jingkang be ashamed, and Song Gaozong's eternal infamy.

"I heard the old king tell these past events, and I was a little suspicious. I don't know what the old king suddenly said about these things. What is the purpose of the old king. The old king continued, I am the emperor Gao, the emperor, who is wise and powerful. , became the emperor. During the period, it was difficult to start a business, and there were many lives and deaths. Just to say something that offended the ancestors. After the emperor Gao, the great ancestor, killed many heroes. Although Hu Weiyong was cunning and tried to rebel, there was nothing wrong with him. Sapphire was arrogant and lawless If you don't abide by the laws of the country, there is indeed a way to kill. However, famous officials and generals such as Li Shanchang and Fu Youde may have made mistakes, but they are not guilty of death. Emperor Gaozu of the Taizu had made mistakes in ordering these heroes to die. If Fu Youde, Fu Youde, etc. Feng Sheng and other generals are present, there will be no battle of Jingnan, and Emperor Jianwen will not confine his palace to self-immolation. Besides, the root of the battle of Jingnan is that Emperor Jianwen cut down the vassals and forced several princes to death. In order to protect himself, King Yan, After the invasion of Nanjing, many loyal officials of Emperor Jianwen were killed. Although King Yan had a reason to rebel, but killing the loyal officials of Emperor Jianwen was a bit too much. Later Xuanzong became emperor, Chengzu's son Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, tried to imitate the example. He even wanted to be like the king of Yan. Afterwards, Emperor Yingzong believed in Wang Zhen’s lies, which led to the catastrophe of the Tumubao Incident. Not only Yingzong was captured by Oala, but most of the famous officials and generals of the court died in this battle. 20 The elite army of Wan Jing was almost completely annihilated. From then on, Ming was unable to attack the Tartars and could only take a defensive position.

"When the late king said this, I vaguely guessed why he brought up the past of Song Taizu and Song Taizong. Sure enough, the late king went on to say that Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Chengzu killed too much, which would harm their descendants. What Zhao Guangyi did back then, It's a bit similar. Since Emperor Taizu Gao, even every emperor's direct princes have been slaughtered all the time, let alone us small princes. I wish you were born in an ordinary family. , with a lot less trouble and worry."

When Zhu Shisi said this, he gave another wry smile, and continued: "At that time, I was quite dissatisfied with the words of the late king. It was not until later that my family became more and more depraved, and I was worried about food and clothing every day, that I gradually understood the words of the late king. The deep meaning in the words. Only after the late king passed away and left this palace for me, did I realize how difficult it was for the old prince and the late king. I also knew that the word "retribution is not good" is definitely not groundless. It has only been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There have been more than fifty vassal kings in various places who have died. As for other royal children who died inexplicably, there are countless. We, the descendants of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor, have fallen into this land, because we are not in debt for our ancestors, and we cannot blame others."

Hearing this, the short fat man drank a glass of wine on his own, and said in his mouth: "My lord has this insight, and the grassroots admire it. Just sitting and eating like this is not an option after all. I wonder what the lord's plan will be in the future?"

Zhu Shisi smiled miserably, and said: "Plan? What can I plan? If I can live a day, it counts as a day. Now the three of you can see clearly the situation here. It's too late now. The money is given to those dirty officials in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Maybe one day, they will all freeze and starve to death just like the Yuewang Mansion in Shandong. Haha, haha."

Zhu Shishi smiled wryly twice, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.His eyes were dull, with a bitter smile on his face.

At this moment, only the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the house, and after a while, the old servant came to the door and said respectfully: "My lord, my concubine, please go over and talk."

Zhu Shisi supported the table, stood up tremblingly, cupped his hands towards the short fat man and the others, and said in his mouth: "You three drink slowly, I will go back as soon as I go."

Li Qiufeng and others hurriedly stood up and watched Zhu Shishi walk out of the main hall.The old servant bowed his hands to the three of them, and immediately followed Zhu Shishi.

After the short fat man sat down, he patted his belly, and said: "This meal is quite enjoyable. It's just a pity to see this prince so embarrassed."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and said, "Feng'er, you work in Jinyiwei, do you know these things?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "The vassal kings of various places are under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in name, but Dongchang sent many spies to hide in the palace to inquire about the news. Jinyiwei Beisi may also have an eyeliner. But it doesn't matter whether Dongchang or Jinyiwei , Those who sent people to investigate were those direct princes. The imperial court didn’t bother to take care of offshoot princes like Zhu Shishi. My apprentice had heard about the naming thing when he was in the capital, but he didn’t expect it to be so tragic.”

The old man surnamed Huang said on the side: "Since the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are obstructing it, why didn't Zhu Shishi directly write to the emperor? If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely stand up for the emperor, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not dare to be arrogant. "

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "Uncle Huang, you don't know the joints. Since Emperor Chengzu's Jing Nan, he was extremely afraid of the rebellion of the vassal kings. In addition to the abolition of the vassal king's guards, officials from all over the country were required to monitor the vassal kings. Wang, the vassal king is not allowed to go out of the city, and the House of Internal Affairs is set up to be responsible for the affairs of the vassal king. Therefore, unless it is an emergency military situation, these papers must be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for disposal, and then handed over to the cabinet for transfer. To the emperor. These vassal kings are trapped in the fief and cannot leave the city, so they can only rely on writing notes to report to the emperor. But this note must first be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for disposal. If Zhu Shishi and others write a note and sue the emperor, The Ministry of Internal Affairs was the first to see it, so it would naturally find a way to destroy the booklet and even take revenge. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all the confidantes of the cabinet chiefs. Even if the incident happens, the cabinet will speak for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The vassal kings from all over the place dare not offend the Ministry of Internal Affairs easily. In this way, the whole court helps each other, and the emperor has no idea that the vassal kings from all over the place will have such a tragic experience."
