Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 246 The Bad Things in Prince Min's Mansion

Speaking of the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty, there were some who were peaceful and some who were restless, but the situation in the Minwang Mansion, even within the entire clan, was quite embarrassing.

As the No.18 son of Emperor Taizu, Min Wang Zhu Wei was not considered old among his brothers, and his talent was not outstanding, and he was very mediocre.

In the 24th year of Hongwu, Zhu Wei, who had just turned 13 years old, was granted the title of Min King and the fiefdom of Minzhou. However, because he was still young, he did not go to the fiefdom at that time, but went to the fiefdom after he got married at the age of 15.

However, at this time, his fief was changed from Minzhou to Yunnan to guard against the Mu family in Yunnan.

From the 26th year of Hongwu to the 31st year of Hongwu, the Min prince was in the feudal land, and it can be said that he had unlimited scenery. He grasped the military, political and taxation, and truly deserved the title of king of a country.

However, the good times don't last long. After Jianwen ascended the throne, he began to cut down the vassal. Several of his brothers were abolished or killed for various reasons.

Naturally, Zhu Wei was not spared from the disaster. His previous domineering behaviors were all taken as a handle at this time, and Mu's stabbed him in front of Jianwen.

As a result, Zhu Weicong, the prince who held great power in his hands, was abolished as a commoner and exiled in Zhangzhou. He was not restored to his title until after Jing Nan.

But this Prince Min, after all, was used to being domineering, and he reverted to his old ways as soon as he returned to the fief, and was impeached by the Mu family again for "accepting the seal letters of various divisions without authorization, and wantonly killing officials and people".

Throughout the Yongle period, his Min throne was abolished three times.

Until the last time, Emperor Taizong couldn't bear it anymore, and simply abolished his royal officials, completely reduced his guards, leaving only a few hundred people, and he barely let him settle down.

At the same time, because of several small reports in succession, this Lord Min and the Mu family of Yunnan have become in conflict, almost to the point of having you but not me.

So in the first year of Hongxi, Emperor Renzong had to change Zhu's fief again and moved him to the Huguang area.

After going through so many ups and downs, this Prince Min has finally cultivated his moral character and stopped causing any troubles.

Of course, it was also because all the power in his hand had been confiscated, and he had been transferred to a fief where he was not familiar with, so he couldn't make a fuss even if he wanted to.

However, press the gourd to float the scoop.

The old Min King had just settled down for a few years, and his sons started making trouble again.

In the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu liked to marry princes and heroes, and Zhu Wei was no exception. His concubine, Yuan Shi, was the eldest daughter of Yuan Hong, the governor of the army, and had a high position and authority.

Yuan's second son, Zhu Huijuan, the eldest son, was named the prince of Min during the Yongle period.

However, in the early years of Xuande, the prince's son suddenly had a falling out with his own brother, who is now the Zhennan king Zhu Huixun.

The reason is actually very simple.

At that time, Zhu Huiyun was already 30 years old, and he had been crowned prince for [-] years, but he had never had a son.

On the contrary, it was his younger brother Zhu Huixun who gave birth to his first son Zhu Yinxun early.

In particular, this Zhu Yinyu was talented and intelligent, and he was extraordinary since childhood, and he was loved by the old Min King.

I don't know what happened in it, anyway, around the third year of Xuande, the prince's son suddenly reported to the court, saying that Zhu Huixun had slandered the late Emperor Renzong.

As a result, Emperor Xuanzong sent envoys to investigate, and concluded that there was no such incident, but a false accusation. Therefore, Zhu Huijuan's position as the son of the prince was abolished, and he was imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang. Not long after, he died of illness up.

Zhu Huixun, on the other hand, took Zhennan King as the new heir of the Min Palace by virtue of his status as the second son of the legitimate family.

As long as the old prince goes west, he can successfully inherit the Min Palace from the county throne.

When it comes to this level, Prince Min's Mansion should settle down.

But it doesn't.

Zhu Huifu was abolished, and the fourth and fifth elders of the Min Palace, that is, King Guangtong and King Yangzong, began to make trouble again.

These two are siblings of the same mother, and they are both descended from the concubine Su's family.

No more prominent than the imperial concubine Yuan's family, Su's family background is humble and has no savings.

So at the instigation of her two sons, the Su family began to secretly sell off the property of the Min Palace to supplement the two sons.

Later, this matter was bumped into by Zhu Huixun who was returning home to visit relatives, so Su committed suicide not long after.

In a fit of anger, the old King Min didn't even see his two sons anymore, and shut them directly outside the Prince Min's mansion.

But these two are not fuel-efficient lamps, the gate can't go, and they even commanded the guards in their own mansion to tear down the outer wall of King Min's mansion, forced their way in, went straight to the bank of King Min's mansion, and took away many rare items.

Then, the backhand was a memorandum, impeaching Zhu Huixun and forcing his concubine to death, which resulted in severe reprimand from the court.

The two of them were also completely hated by the old King Min, and became something that people despise dogs.

After hearing the bloody battle in the Min Palace, Shu Liang suddenly understood and sighed.

"It's no wonder that King Guangtong and King Yangzong quarreled with King Zhennan as soon as they met. It turned out that they had been so hostile for a long time."

Zhu Qiyu also laughed lightly and said.

"You are right. Ever since the two of them forcibly broke into the Min Palace, the old Min King was completely disappointed with these two sons, and handed over all the general affairs of the Min Palace to Zhennan King. Therefore, the Min King's mansion The power is indeed in the hands of King Zhennan now."

Shu Liang blinked his eyes, and when he heard the emperor's meaningful tone, his heart skipped a beat. The figure of the smiling fat prince reappeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Sure enough, he was not mistaken, this King of Zhennan is really not an easy character to deal with.

One must know that although this drama in the Min Palace is wonderful, there are indeed many unreasonable things in it.

For example, why did Zhu Huijuan, the prince's son at the time, still have nothing until he was 30 years old?
What's more, if things like slandering Renzong were not really sure, how could Zhu Huijuan report to the court?
And the Guangtong Wang brothers, their mother, Su, has been in charge of the backyard of Min Wang's mansion since Yuan's death. Does she need to steal property?

Taking a step back, Zhu Huixun is usually in fiefdom, how could it be such a coincidence that he just happened to meet when he was returning home to visit his relatives, so the Su family really committed suicide in shame?

The imperial court had already made a conclusion on all these, and Shu Liang was too lazy to delve into the inside story.

But as the person in charge of Dongchang, he is not afraid to think about the bad in everything.

However, there is no doubt that it is.

One after another, although on the surface, the King of Zhennan is an innocent victim.

But in the end, he was the only one who benefited!

Zhu Huifu was deposed and he became the prince's son.

Su committed suicide, and there was no one in charge in the backyard of King Min's Mansion. King Jiangchuan was submissive, King Guangtong and King Yangzong hated dogs, and the power of King Min's Mansion was in the hands of the King of Zhennan.

When he arrived, his hands were still clean, and no one could catch him.

It seems that these things are caused by others, and have nothing to do with him!

Shu Liang secretly raised his vigilance against this fat prince again.

Dealing with such a person, you have to think a little more about it, don't be inexplicable, you don't know how you died.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Shu Liang, obviously seeing his thoughts, and said lightly.

"King Zhennan, you should be on guard, but don't worry too much. Since he is a smart man, he knows what he can do and what he can't do. I have my own plans for the clan. Don't offend him. That's right."

Shu Liang nodded respectfully, Zhu Qiyu said again.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. You just said that after welcoming King Min, you went to see Yang Shan again?"
