Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 661 Three to five is too difficult

On the boundary of the capital, what happened in the imperial court and the palace can hardly be concealed, the difference is nothing more than the sooner or later when the news is received.

Therefore, as soon as the bosses went to the Yamen the next day, they all learned the news that the Supreme Emperor had ordered the emperor to go to Nangong to settle the morning and evening.

All of a sudden, the ruling and opposition parties went up and down, and those inside and outside the palace were blown up.

As soon as the sky was getting brighter, childish voices resounded in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric."

"The sun and the moon are in full bloom, and the celestial places are listed."

"Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides."

"Run...Runyu...Runyu..."

The weather is getting warmer, but the fire in the warm pavilion is still on, and beside the small table, there is a little fat baby sitting upright.

I saw him wearing a small black winged crown on his head, wearing a red woven gold over-the-shoulder panlong narrow-sleeved robe, a jade belt around his waist, and buckskin boots on his feet.

Of course it was none other than the present Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen.

Although it is said that the prince has not officially left the cabinet to study, since the matter of the emperor's return to the south has been settled, the Empress Dowager Sun has put her mind on her grandson.

First, he took Zhu Jianshen to the Compassionate Ning Palace to raise him, and then he arranged carefully selected people who he thought were reliable to serve him, and then began to teach the prince how to read.

It should be said that Zhu Jianshen did not disappoint. Although he was young, he was born intelligent. Up to now, he has been able to recite the Three Character Classic fluently, and he can also recite hundreds of surnames. However, this Thousand Character Classic is more difficult than It is higher than the previous two books.

Therefore, even though it has been several days, His Royal Highness is still stumbling when he memorizes it.

Beside this noble chubby baby, stood a middle-aged eunuch in his 30s, with a white face and beardless body, and a little fat, but it did not damage his image, but he looked like a literati.

The eunuch's name was Tan Chang, and it was Empress Dowager Sun who picked him out to teach Zhu Jianshen how to read.

"Runyu is a grown-up, Lulu Tiaoyang!"

"Your Highness, we have explained these few sentences several times yesterday, but you still made mistakes three times today. According to the order of the Holy Mother, you need to copy these few sentences thirty times."

Qin Chang bowed his body, his figure was humble, but his voice was firm.

Although he was enlightened for the prince, he was regarded as a half teacher, but with Wang Zhen's Yin Jian in front of him, Empress Dowager Sun strictly forbade Tan Chang to pretend to be a teacher in front of the prince.

Even, during the daily lectures, he could not stand directly opposite the prince, but could only stand by the side like an ordinary eunuch, explaining the meaning of the book.

"Gu knows, Tan Banban don't worry, before breakfast today, Gu will finish writing and show it to the imperial grandmother."

After hearing Qin Chang's words, Zhu Jianshen's chubby face was wrinkled into a bun.

However, after glancing at the silent old eunuch standing beside him with sleeves covered, he nodded obediently, then opened the book, spread out the rice paper under the service of the palace servants, and grabbed a pen to start writing.

For the so-called royal heirs, the most important thing is bearing and etiquette. Although Zhu Jianshen is young, his enlightenment is not just as simple as literacy. Obviously, His Royal Highness is still very good at this aspect.

Qin Chang cupped his hands, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much, he just retreated silently.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside, so the grey-haired old eunuch who was peeped by the prince just now had a cold look in his eyes.

Immediately, another young eunuch standing behind the prince understood, cupped his hands, and quietly took two steps back, ready to go out to deal with it.

However, before he could step out, the door of the Snapper was pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a group of eunuchs and courtiers rushed in. The leader was dressed in a python suit and walked in slowly with a warm smile on his face.

"Presumptuous, Wynn, do you know that this is the Palace of Compassion, the residence of His Majesty the Virgin Mary and His Highness the Crown Prince, how dare you trespass, do you want to kill yourself?"

Seeing this situation, the old eunuch who was originally standing in the palace, who looked rather inconspicuous, immediately straightened his back, took two steps forward, just protecting His Highness the Crown Prince, looked at the visitor vigilantly, and shouted softly.

To say that this old eunuch has an unusual status, his name is Niu Yu. In terms of seniority, he and Jin Ying were both eunuchs in the same period.

Even, like Wang Zhen, he was once the eunuch accompanying the Supreme Emperor, but he was not as ostentatious as Wang Zhen, so he stayed in the palace honestly and never participated in government affairs.

At the time of the personal conquest, the Supreme Emperor also left him in the palace. It was not until later that he was reactivated by the Empress Dowager Sun as the chief eunuch next to Zhu Jianshen.

After so many years of experience in the palace, Niu Yu has already cultivated the ability to remain calm under any circumstances. Although in front of him is the popular Dapeng Huai'en next to the emperor, he has no fear at all.

After all, among the eunuchs, besides their status, they also paid attention to their qualifications. Niu Yu's qualifications, in today's palace, almost no one can compare.

What's more, this place is the Compassion Palace!

It is impossible for the Queen Mother not to be alarmed by such a big commotion. No matter how powerful Wynn is, he is just an eunuch. Once the Virgin arrives, everything will be calmed down naturally. Not only was he not afraid at all, but he had a questioning expression on his face.

On the contrary, Wynn was much calmer, he cupped his hands with a smile, and said.

"Eunuch Niu misunderstood, our family came here today, not trespassing, but came here to pass the decree by His Majesty's order."

Saying this, Huai En didn't care what Niu Yu's reaction was, and stretched out his hand. Behind him, an eunuch holding a brocade box stepped forward and opened the brocade box, revealing a jade embroidered with dark patterns in the shape of a brocade dragon inside. Shaft silk.

Wynn arched his hands, raised them above his head, turned slightly towards the direction of the brocade box, and then said loudly and solemnly.

"Under the imperial decree, His Royal Highness, please accept the decree!"

When the scroll of dragon pattern appeared, Niu Yu was startled at first, and immediately fell to his knees, followed by all the palace eunuchs in Nuan Pavilion fell to their knees one after another.

After all, rules are more important in the palace than anywhere else, and with Niu Yu's eyesight, it is natural to see that the dragon scroll in front of him is an out-and-out imperial decree.

Moreover, it is not the kind of imperial decree that only covers the seal of the emperor. This kind of regulatory imperial decree must go through the complete process of the cabinet, six divisions, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Shangbaosi, the most formal decree.

Face to face with the imperial decree, it is like the presence of the emperor in person, representing the majestic imperial power!

Not to mention Niu Yu, a mere eunuch in charge, even the seven ministers of the imperial court, when they saw this scroll with dragon patterns, they had to bow down immediately.

All of a sudden, in the whole hall, there was only one little doll who was still in a daze.

Although Zhu Jianshen had received royal education for a period of time, after all, knowing is easier than doing. This was the first time he had really experienced this kind of scene, so he couldn't help being a little at a loss.

Wynn looked as expected, lowered his head slightly, and repeated again in a respectful and gentle voice.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty has a decree, please kneel down and receive him."

Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a moment, seemed a little scared, took a small step back, and approached Wan Zhen'er who was kneeling on the ground.

At this time, Niu Yu beside him said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, according to the rules, you have to kneel down to receive the order..."

Therefore, Zhu Jianshen took two timid steps forward, turned around from behind Niu Yu, and glanced curiously at the dragon pattern scroll in the brocade box.

Then, he tried hard to recall the etiquette that Tan Chang and Wan Zhen'er had taught him before. He stretched out his fat little hands, raised his robe and bowed down, carefully knelt on the ground, and said milkingly.

"My nephew, Zhu Jianshen, kneel down to welcome the imperial decree, and respectfully invite Shengan!"

"Saint Gong'an!"

Only then did Wynn put down his raised hands, bent over, and respectfully took out the jade axis from the brocade box, then straightened up and spread out.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the system says: the country has a reserve, the country is stable, the family and the country are hopeful, the prince is the heir, and he is responsible for the ancestors and the country. He should be a model for the world. I have heard that since ancient times, there is nothing better than filial piety, respecting relatives and fathers, being loyal to the emperor and patriotic , this is the foundation of honesty and ethics.”

"Today, the Emperor Taishang lives in the South Palace to take care of his life. He cares about the friendship between relatives and brothers. He wants to see me often. This is a sign of harmony in the heavenly family. However, I am the Son of Heaven, and I should take care of the world. The government affairs are complicated. Difficult, the crown prince, as the heir apparent, is my successor and the heir of the Supreme Emperor, so he should be filial to the day and night."

"From now on, order the crown prince to go to Nangong every day to greet you on my behalf, dear!"

The imperial decree is not long, and what it says is very simple. After Wynn finished reading it, he carefully rolled up the jade scroll, and handed it to Zhu Jianshen, saying.

"Your Highness, the Yijia has been prepared outside the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Your Majesty has ordered you to leave immediately after receiving the order."

Seeing the jade scroll being handed in front of her, the little baby blinked her eyes, obediently stretched out her chubby hand, and held it high above her head as Tan Chang had taught her, and was about to take it.

However, just as Wynn was about to put down the imperial decree, a voice suddenly came from the gate of the temple.

"and many more!"

Everyone looked up, but at some point, the Empress Dowager Sun, who was dressed in fine clothes, had already stood outside the door.

"See Our Lady."

There was another sound of saluting. This time, a group of palace servants who followed Wynn also fell to the ground.

Wynn was the only one left. Because he was still holding the imperial decree in his hand, he only bowed slightly and said.

"Greetings to Our Lady."

Empress Dowager Sun walked slowly into the hall with the support of the palace servants, and then stretched out her hand to pull Zhu Jianshen up. The grandfather and grandson walked to the side of the couch.

"Wynn, what are you doing here?"

Although he knew that the other party was asking the question knowingly, Wynn still answered respectfully.

"Returning to the Holy Mother, His Majesty ordered his ministers to come and deliver the decree, ordering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Nangong every day, to save the morning and evening, to fulfill filial piety and the affection of the whole human relationship."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun's complexion suddenly became a little ugly, she glanced at her grandson who was still standing beside her, and said.

"The road to Nangong is far away, and the prince is still young, so it is not suitable for him to travel around every day. Besides, when the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing, he had ordered the prince not to pay his respects every day, so let's let this matter go."

Now Zhu Jianshen is the lifeline of the Empress Dowager Sun, who is carefully guarded every day. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Sun insisted on keeping Zhu Jianshen in the Palace of Compassion, because she was worried that something might go wrong if he lived outside.

Now, Huai En broke into the Palace of Compassion and Ning so blatantly, brought so many people, and said that he wanted to take the prince to Nangong to pay his respects. This clearly has bad intentions. How could she agree?
However, Wynn is not so easy to dismiss. Hearing this, he first put the imperial decree of the jade scroll in his hand respectfully in the brocade box aside, then turned around and said.

"The minister heard me right, what does the Holy Mother mean... to make His Highness the Crown Prince disobey the imperial decree?"

The tone was gentle and respectful, but the words he said were as sharp as a knife, which immediately made Empress Dowager Sun's complexion completely sink.

"presumptuous!"

"You are just a mere servant, how dare you talk about Aijia, who gave you the courage?"

Although this is indeed the truth, it is tantamount to humiliating him for an eunuch of Wynn's status to say so in person.

However, Wynn's reaction was surprisingly calm, he cupped his hands and said.

"Holy Mother, calm down. The ministers are only following orders and doing their duty faithfully. The Holy Mother is right. The ministers are just slaves and dare not talk about the Tian Family, but..."

How can it be possible for Wynn to be valued by the emperor, admired by many courtiers, and quickly gain a foothold in the Supervisor of Rites? He is really just a good old man?

While talking, he slowly straightened up and said.

"It is said that beating a dog depends on the master. The courtiers are just royal servants, but in the end, they are here to announce the emperor's decree. It is nothing for the Holy Mother to reprimand the courtiers. However, the courtiers have to do whatever the emperor entrusts them with!"

The resoluteness of these words made Empress Dowager Sun feel a sense of uneasiness in her heart, and she couldn't help but sternly shouted.

"What do you want to do?"

Huai En's back was straight, and he looked at the Queen Mother Sun in front of him with clear eyes, and said.

"Your Majesty ordered His Royal Highness to go to Nangong to pay his respects. Naturally, the ministers must obey the order and take His Highness to Nangong!"

"You are presumptuous!"

Empress Dowager Sun burst into flames. She jumped up from the couch and pointed at Wynn.

"This is the Compassionate Palace of the Ai family. Could it be that you can't snatch people in this palace?"

"Come here, take this crazy thing to Aijia!"

As soon as the words fell, several strong eunuchs with short sticks poured in from outside the hall, staring at Wynn and his party.

In the final analysis, the Compassionate Ning Palace is the territory of Empress Dowager Sun, and it has been in operation for many years. If talking in this territory does not count, she, the Empress Dowager, will not have to do it.

Just when these people wanted to rush forward, Wynn was still happy and fearless. Looking at these strong eunuchs with malicious intentions, he sneered, reached out to pick up the imperial decree in the brocade box beside him, held it up above his head, and looked around. road.

"Your Majesty's decree is for this, who dares to be presumptuous!"

It has to be said that this trick is very useful. The eunuchs present are all knowledgeable. When they see the imperial decree of the jade scroll with dragon patterns, they will know the weight of it.

For a moment, even with Empress Dowager Sun watching, they had no choice but to put down the short sticks in their hands, and then silently knelt down on the ground.

After finishing all this, Huai Enfang turned around and said with a still respectful face.

"The Holy Mother has misunderstood. Your Royal Highness is precious, and the courtiers dare not offend. It is His Highness's business to accept or not accept this order, and the courtiers dare not comment."

"However, now that Yijia has been prepared, Nangong is already preparing to welcome him. The imperial decree in the hands of the ministers has left copies in the cabinet, the Sixth Division, and Shang Baosi. I am afraid that they are all in the palace and outside the palace. Waiting for His Highness to go to Nangong to fulfill his filial piety."

"Should I let the courtiers go back and reply to the order by themselves, or let His Highness accept the order and go to Nangong with the courtiers to pay their respects, Holy Mother, please think twice!"
