Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 755 Double Reed
In King Min's mansion, Zhu Huixun sighed, and told the situation after he and others entered the palace "everything".

"At that time, King Xiang was aggressive, holding on to the Japanese king's beating. Although His Majesty tried his best to turn around and persuaded him several times with family affection, King Xiang still refused to let go, and in his words, he seemed to want to Make a fuss about the affairs outside the ten princes' mansion."

"In order to resolve this matter satisfactorily, and also for the sake of this king and Yinzhen, and even more for the sake of you clan children who are waiting to be released, His Majesty had no choice but to allow this king and Yinzhen to return to the fief, and let King Xiang take over as Dazong Zheng. .”

"But from the bottom of my heart, this king can see that His Majesty is dissatisfied with King Xiang, and also has the intention to protect this King and Yinxuan. Otherwise, His Majesty would not order the Ministry of Rites to take over the throne of Min within ten months. Xifeng Yicheng has finished, and, moreover, he specially let Yinxuan inherit the throne of Zhennan King from this king."

"Cheng, others may not understand the difference, but you should be the one who understands the key!"

I have to say that when the same thing is said from different people's mouths and from different angles, it gives people different feelings.

Take this performance as an example, what Zhu Huixun said was the truth, and the emperor was in the middle to mediate, have you persuaded him?Of course it is advised!
Is King Xiang not forgiving?Of course, the king of Zhennan and a group of clan children should be held accountable. These are facts, but they don't seem to be so conclusive facts.

At least, the three words "have to" in Zhu Huixun's words are definitely not necessary!
However, for these details, even the ministers who witnessed the whole process at the time may have their own judgments in their hearts, not to mention other people who just listened to others.

At least at the moment, Zhu Huixun said that the emperor had no other choice, so Zhu Fanzhi and Zhu Chenglian who were present also believed it.

You must know that the prince is the most important in the Ming Dynasty. A prince is not just a title. It involves a series of issues such as fiefs, taxes, and feudal screens. The process is very complicated, and it cannot be inherited with a simple sentence. of.

Let alone Zhu Chenglian’s father, Zhu Shixiu, as early as the second year of Xuande, at the request of Daiwangfei, the imperial court registered him as the grandson of the Daiwangfu, and he was the legitimate heir to the Daiwangdai.

However, when it was actually inherited, it still went through a whole year of rituals.

The old generation king Zhu Gui died in December of the 11th year of Zhengtong, but the time when Zhu Shixiu completed the canonization and became the real king was in the first month of the 13th year of Zhengtong.

Of course, this is not intentional delay by the court. On the contrary, Zhu Gui is such an arrogant and domineering king of Sai who can't even control the imperial decree.

But the rules are the rules. Even if Zhu Shixiu is a legitimate grandson, there are still procedures that must be followed. Moreover, this is already considered fast. Under normal circumstances, it takes two to three years for a prince to inherit the title. The procedures are all normal.

Therefore, it is indeed a kindness for the emperor to order the Ministry of Rites to quickly deal with the succession of the Min throne.

And, that's not all, another thing that can be called a grace is that the emperor also gave Zhu Yinyu the right to inherit the throne of Zhennan King.

You must know that Zhu Huixun has both the title of county king and son of the prince. This does not conform to the normal state of succession to the throne, but is caused by the special inheritance of the Min king line.

According to the court system, the sons of the vassal kings came of age, and after being invited by the vassal kings, the eldest son was established as the eldest son to succeed the vassal screen.

So under normal circumstances, the prince and the county throne will not appear on the same person at the same time.

However, the lineage of King Min is rather special. Above Zhu Huixun, there is an elder brother Zhu Huikun. At first, when the princes of King Min came of age, they normally registered Zhu Huikun as the prince and the others as counties according to the etiquette system. King, in this way, Zhu Huixun has the title of Zhennan King.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Huixun was later abolished as the son of the throne, and locked into the high wall of Fengyang as a commoner. Zhu Huixun became the first heir to the Min throne and was canonized as the son of the prince. And the special case of the county throne.

But this is not normal, so, according to common sense, after Zhu Huixun inherits the throne of Min, his title of King of Zhennan will be withdrawn, and Zhu Yinxun should be requested by Zhu Huixun, the new King of Min. He was registered as the son of King Min to succeed Min Fan.

But now, the emperor did not mention the matter of the son, but asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the succession of the Zhennan throne. His intention was actually to give grace.

To put it bluntly, if Zhu Yinzhen was registered as the prince first, then he could no longer be designated as the prince of the county. On the other hand, if he inherited the throne of Zhennan king first, he could still be registered as the prince.

The position of the prince depends on the elders and concubines, and no one can change this. Therefore, from the time Zhu Huixun became the king of Min, Zhu Yinyu's position as the prince of Min is a certainty, and it cannot be changed. It is nothing more than a few years ago Just a few years later.

However, if he missed the present opportunity, it would be impossible for Zhu Yinyu to get another county throne.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, and even in the minds of many ministers in the court, there seems to be no difference. After all, compared with the position of the prince and heir, the latter must be more precious.

However, all the people present are real clan disciples, how could they not understand the key point?

Especially Zhu Chenglian, when he heard Zhu Huixun's last question, he fell silent all of a sudden.

Yes, of course he understood!
Because that's how he and his father came here!

The position of prince and son is certainly precious, but that is because the son of the prince can inherit the position of prince. Compared with the throne of the county, both status and power surpass the latter, but there is only one thing, the throne of the prince is not as good as the county king King's, that is independence.

Take Daiwang Mansion as an example. When the old Daiwang was still there, although his father Zhu Shixun was a legitimate grandson, his life was not as good as that of ordinary people. In many cases, he even had to cultivate the land himself to maintain food and clothing.

The reason is that the words Daiwangfu and descendants still hang in front of it. If it is in an ordinary palace, the descendants and grandchildren have a high enough status and are trusted enough. After the vassal is old, he can transfer the palace Most of the resources are naturally very comfortable.

However, it is different for those who are disliked or even hated like their father and son.

Although Zhu Chenglian knew that his own family's situation was too special, even if the other family's palace was dissatisfied with the son, he would not dare to disobey the imperial decree and treat him so harshly.

However, he still couldn't help thinking, if his father was not the eldest son and was not canonized as a grandson, but was canonized as the general of the country early, would their life be much easier?

The answer is yes!

As the sons of the Dai Wang, all their sources of income come from the taxes of the Dai Fan, and the salaries that should be given to them will be sent to the Dai Wang Mansion first, and then distributed to them

However, the person who is the master of the Daiwang Mansion is the Daiwang after all, so when the money and food are sent to the Daiwang Mansion, there will be no further details.

But if at that time, his father already had a county throne, the situation would be quite different.

The son of the Daiwang is still the person of the Daiwangfu in essence. However, being registered as the county king means that he is independent in a certain sense. At least, he will have his own fief, and the taxes in the fief will be sent directly to the government. in their hands.

This difference cannot be manifested in normal times, but it is vividly manifested in special circumstances, and Zhu Chenglian is precisely the person who can empathize with him the most.

Therefore, when Zhu Huixun said this, he immediately calmed down, but the emotion that suddenly surged in his heart could not help but diffuse, making the atmosphere a little gloomy.

Even Zhu Fanzhi, a carefree kid, realized something was wrong, blinked his eyes, and began to change the subject without bluntness, said.

"According to Uncle Wang's words, His Majesty is indeed full of good intentions. However, we understand this painstaking effort. However, those people outside may still feel that His Majesty is partial, and..."

As he spoke, the prince of Xiangling began to feel aggrieved again, and said.

"Even so, I still feel that it is too cheap for King Xiang to get the position of Da Zongzheng just like that. I can see that the reason why this old bastard was talking nonsense in front of the uncle's spirit was to make you Throwing him out of the capital in order to seek the position of Da Zong Zhengzheng, but in the end, he really succeeded, no matter how you think about this kind of result, you feel that you can't swallow this bad breath!"

At this time, Zhu Yinji, who had been silent since entering the mansion, suddenly spoke in a clean and cold voice.

"If you can't swallow it, don't swallow it!"

However, as soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Zhu Huixun with a soft drink.

"Sound!"

It can be seen that Zhu Huixun is still very strict with Zhu Yinxun in normal times. With just such a soft drink, Zhu Yinxun stopped talking. However, I don't know if he has been with Zhu Chenglian for a long time. Although Zhu Yinxun did not He continued to speak, but there was a stubbornness in his expression, and he was obviously unwilling.

However, Zhu Huixun ignored him, and just continued talking to Zhu Fanzhi and Zhu Chenglian.

"Fan Zhi, Cheng Ge, I appreciate your kindness, but it is the best result for this matter to come to this point. His Majesty has no choice but to deal with it in this way. If it continues, it will only get worse. Add chaos to the court."

"This Jiangshan community belongs to our Zhu family. Don't add chaos if you can. It's just a return to the fiefdom. It's nothing to my father and son. But you, if you continue to stay in the capital to study, it's still worth it. It's better not to provoke that King Xiang any longer."

Zhu Huixun said these words with earnestness and heart, but Zhu Chenglian and the two obviously didn't listen to them. They could naturally see that the elder and Zhu Yinxun had disagreements on some matters.

If there is no accident, it should be how to deal with King Xiang.

Judging by Zhu Yinxun's expression, he obviously still has a plan, but, perhaps for the sake of calming down the matter, Zhu Huixun obviously does not agree to continue the trouble.

So, what should we do?
For Zhu Chenglian and the other two, there was no need to hesitate at all!
After pondering for a while, Zhu Chenglian didn't look at Zhu Huixun, but turned to Zhu Yinxuan who was beside him, and said.

"Yin, don't say anything else, you know my feelings for my great-uncle, and King Xiang made such a fuss about his great-uncle's funeral, I can't bear it no matter what, you and your uncle have to bear it , I can understand, you just go back to the fief!"

"However, if you have a way, you can say it. No matter how big the disturbance is, if His Majesty blames it, I, Zhu Chenglian, will bear it. I am worthy of my great-uncle's love for you."

"If you don't want to say it, or if you have no other way, then I can only do what I said when I was outside the palace. I really want to go to the ancestral temple and cry in mourning!"

Zhu Chenglian said these words very simply, without the slightest hesitation, just by looking at his expression, he didn't mean to be joking at all.

The young man is very angry, and the most fearful thing is not to be excited. When Zhu Chenglian said this, Zhu Fanzhi who was beside him immediately burst into a burst of anger, and stood up immediately, saying.

"Count me in! I can't get used to that old bastard King Xiang, fuck him!"

Seeing the two good friends like this, Zhu Yinxun's expression became complicated. After a while, he stood up and cupped his hands at Zhu Huixun, saying.

"Father, please forgive me. In the past, Yinzhen listened to you for everything, but this time when it comes to grandpa, Yinzhen, as his grandson, can't allow others to stand up for Yinxuan!"

These words, Zhu Yinxuan's categorical words, made Zhu Huixun short of breath.

"you……"

However, maybe it was because of looking at the young and energetic three people, thinking of themselves back then, or maybe because they were touched by Zhu Yinxun's words, and pointing at these people, Zhu Huixun's words rolled in his throat, and finally, But he just sighed heavily, then stood up, turned around and entered the back hall.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yinzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Zhu Fanzhi and Zhu Chenglian. Even in such an atmosphere, the three still looked at each other and smiled, and they all saw the strong determination and firmness in each other's eyes.

As soon as Zhu Huixun, the elder, left, the three of them became more casual and sat down. Zhu Fanzhi was more anxious, and asked as soon as he sat down firmly.

"Yinji, what can you do, just tell me directly, we must do our best to cooperate if we need to do anything, I don't believe it, that old bastard King Xiang can really do what he wants!"

Zhu Chenglian didn't speak, but his eyes were fixed on Zhu Yinxuan, obviously waiting for the next sentence.

However, at this time, for some reason, Zhu Yinyu hesitated, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke under the urging eyes of the two.

"Brother Fan Zhi, Cheng Yan, speaking of it, this matter has nothing to do with you. It is me and my father who have implicated you. I know in my heart that what my father said is right. At this moment, I should not continue to let you go." Involved, but, as you said, I really can't swallow this bad breath, so this time, I still have to trouble you."

"However, I know in my heart how difficult this matter is. Therefore, if you have any difficulties, please tell me at any time. You don't have to bear any burden. You are able to come here today. Yinji is very grateful in her heart."

"No matter what choice you make in the end, I will always remember this kindness!"

As soon as he said this, Zhu Fanzhi immediately became a little unhappy, and said in a muffled voice.

"Yinji, what are you talking about? Is it a softie to be a buddy? I dare to scold him in front of that old bastard King Xiang, don't talk about other things, our relationship, you say these words..."

However, compared to Zhu Fanzhi's emotions, Zhu Chenglian was aware of Zhu Yinxuan's contradictory mood at the moment, so he was not as excited as Zhu Fanzhi, but looked at Zhu Yinxuan seriously, and said.

"Yinji, although I don't know what your plan is, we understand what you mean. Don't worry, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, we chose it ourselves, and we will never blame you!"

"Yes, I just don't like that old bastard King Xiang, Yin Xing, just say it, what are you afraid of!"

Immediately following Zhu Chenglian, Zhu Fanzhi also echoed.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yinyi sighed lightly, and no longer hesitated, his expression became firm again, and he spoke.

"In that case, I'll just say it..."

While speaking, Zhu Yinyu set his eyes on Zhu Chenglian and said.

"If you want to bring down King Xiang, Cheng Yi, you are the most important person!"
