Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 887 Shu Liang's Mouth
Time passed little by little, the sun above his head was getting bigger and bigger, and the scorching weather made Yiwang feel even more depressed.

It has been more than a stick of incense since King Min entered the palace, but there is still no news from the palace.

So much so that he had some doubts about what this Prince Min was doing in the palace.

Seeing his son's pale lips, Yi Wang felt his calves were a little tight, his throat felt thirsty, and his stomach began to growl.

From the time he met Yu Qian outside the city to the time he was introduced into the palace city, he didn't drink half a sip of water. The little thing he ate when he set off in the morning had already been digested

In the past, he was well-clothed and well-fed, and he never lived a life of lack of clothing or clothing. How has he ever tasted the taste of hunger?
But looking at Shu Liang and Fan Zi behind him, Yi Wang swallowed his words again.

He tried everything soft and hard, and the eunuch made it clear that he wanted to embarrass him. At this time, looking for him would be of no use except to humiliate himself.

Thinking of this, King Yi couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart. This King Min has been in the palace for so long, why is there no news at all?

As soon as this idea came up, a team of servants came out from the palace. Seeing this situation, King Yi was overjoyed, thinking that it was finally the end.

But in the end, this team of servants came in front of them, bowed to King Yi, then passed him directly, and said a few words in front of Shu Liang.

Then, King Yi saw that the face of the admiral of the East Factory became brighter, and the way he looked at him became a little strange.

"What happened?"

Although he didn't want to talk to Shu Liang again, under this situation, King Yi couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Shu Liang didn't hide anything, and said directly.

"Go back to my lord, I'm afraid you will have to wait a little longer this time!"

"Just now, Prince Min had an audience with His Majesty and said a few words for you, but His Majesty was so furious that he threw a melody to the ground on the spot. Now, Prince Min is kneeling in the Hall of Martial Heroes..."

"By the way, Your Majesty also said that if the prince wants to go to the Taimiao, he can go with him. If the Taimiao doesn't work, he can go to the imperial mausoleum. If he is still not satisfied, he can go to the ancestral mausoleum!"

While talking, Shu Liang took two steps back, cupped his hands, and said.

"To teach the prince to know that the ministers still have some things to do, so they will not serve the prince here. His majesty has issued an order. If the prince wants to wait, he can continue to call here. If he doesn't want to wait, the imperial temple, the imperial tomb, and the ancestral tomb Anyone can go, no one dares to stop, and the minister will retire."

After the words fell, under Yi Wang's astonished gaze, Shu Liang actually led people out of the square outside the Meridian Gate.

"Father, what shall we do?"

At this time, Zhu Mianxun asked with a sad face.

So, Zhu Yongyin looked at Shu Liang's leaving figure, his expression was uncertain for a while.

In the distance, there were more and more officials watching the excitement. If this situation happened in normal times, the chief officials of various yamen would have restrained them, or the forbidden army would have gone to disperse them.

But this time, nothing happened.

Gritting his back molars firmly, Zhu Yongyin's face was ashen, and finally squeezed out two words.

"Wait!"

Although it was said that Shu Liang just relayed the emperor's words, the anger revealed in it was already obvious.

At this time, if the trouble continues, things will only get worse.

Shu Liang took people away at this time, in fact, he was determined, Zhu Yongyin did not dare to leave here.

In fact, he did not dare!

Still the same sentence, if the emperor is really angered, the father and son will never have any good fruit to eat.

Even the original Emperor Jianwen, whose policy of reducing vassals was condemned by various vassal kings, but in the end, when Emperor Taizong raised Jing Nan, Emperor Jianwen had abolished four vassal kings and forced one to death.

Although Emperor Jianwen played with fire and set himself on fire in the end, the king of Xiang who was used by him for surgery could not be resurrected after death.

Not to mention, today's vassal kings are no longer the vassal kings of Hongwu. At most, they rely on their seniority and friendship to threaten the emperor.

As a matter of fact, if today's emperor throws his face away and doesn't care about the protests of the kings and the material opinions of the ruling and opposition people, it is easy to clean up a few vassal kings.

Zhu Yongyin hasn't lived enough yet, don't look at him jumping around happily, but if he really wants to do something out of the ordinary, at least in a calm state, he dare not...

Anyway, today's face has been lost, if he leaves at this time, the previous crimes will be in vain.

If you are ashamed, just be ashamed. For a while, the situation will be calm, and when you return to the fief, you can do whatever you want.

Before he knew it, Zhu Yongjin didn't realize that he had changed from a resentful and provocative attitude when he first came to Beijing, to a little panicked, and started to think about how to protect himself.

In the Hall of Martial Arts.

If King Yi was here, he would definitely shout something.

Shu Liang's words, you liar!
What did you say that King Min was punished to kneel? Isn't that sitting properly?

What's more, the Son of Heaven was furious, there was no depressing and tense atmosphere in this hall at all, but it was very happy and pleasant, and he could still care about King Min's family affairs.

"Uncle, it's been a while since Uncle Yinyuan returned to Minfan, how is he settled down? Recently, have you gotten along well with the bride?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty, this daughter-in-law of Yinji is very virtuous. During these days, many things have happened. The concubine of the minister is getting old and can't handle it. Without the help of this bride inside and out, Min The palace is afraid that the backyard will catch fire, but Yin Xun wrote a letter two days ago, saying that everything in the mansion is fine, so there is no need to worry."

Speaking of his own son, Zhu Huixun said with a smile on his face.

"I would also like to thank Your Majesty for granting this marriage. The peace of the back house is the foundation of harmony and stability in the mansion!"

Seeing this situation, the emperor nodded and smiled.

"Thank you for what you are doing. Uncle wants to thank you. You have to thank great-uncle. At the beginning, he was the wise old man. He chose such a bride and stepped up to make arrangements for the marriage. Only then can the Min Palace be stable today. It's a pity that great-uncle couldn't make it through. After this spring, alas..."

At the end of the speech, a trace of regret appeared on the face of the emperor.

Logically speaking, at this time, Zhu Huixun should have echoed a few words, or offered a few words of enlightenment, but in the end, the situation should not be allowed to cool down.

However, the reality is that after hearing what the emperor said, Zhu Huixun fell silent.

Seeing this, the emperor did not continue to ask, but turned sideways, and gave a few instructions to the servant on the side, so there was a scene of the servant going out to pass the decree.

At the same time, seeing this scene, Zhu Huixun sighed in his heart, and without any hesitation, he got up and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your Majesty's permission!"

Without talking about family affairs, the emperor's expression naturally restrained, and he asked seriously.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Huixun has never been a hesitant character. Now that he has made up his mind, he will naturally not waver. After another salute, he said sincerely.

"In the past few days, because of the matter between the minister and King Xiang, the court has caused a lot of trouble. His Majesty Lai is kind and lenient, and the minister is terrified."

"Now that everything is over, the minister still needs to take care of the affairs of the clan's mansion in Beijing, so it is inconvenient to leave without authorization, but the father and king cannot be left alone for a long time."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty for permission to order Yin Yan to sit in the town of Minfan to pay homage to the father, so as to fulfill my filial piety."

Since the King Xiang incident ended, although Da Zongzheng's position is still not available, in fact, the entire clan mansion is already managed by Zhu Huixun, which is just short of a title.

As for Zhu Yinyu, he took the coffin of the old Min King, helped the spirit to be buried, and returned to the Min Fan.

After all, the burial of the vassal king is not just a matter of finding a random place. Like the emperor's mausoleum, the mausoleum of the vassal king is complex in construction due to its huge regulations.

So, basically, the construction started very early. The tomb of the old Min King was built in Wugang.

If it weren't for the incident of King Xiang, he should have been buried long ago.

Of course, what Zhu Huixun wanted to talk about was not this matter, what he meant was very clear, that is...

"Is the uncle going to perform the canonization ceremony for Yin Xun?"

After listening to Zhu Huixun's words, the emperor pondered for a moment and asked.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a matter of course that the eldest son of the vassal king is the heir of the palace.

It's not wrong to say that, but it's not accurate.

The so-called son of a certain prince, strictly speaking, is a title recognized by the imperial court, and its status is even higher than that of the county king.

To become the prince's son, in addition to the most important blood order, like the county king, he also needs to be canonized by the court to be considered legal.

According to the normal process, Zhu Huixun succeeded the Min King, so his eldest son Zhu Yinxun should naturally be canonized as the prince's son.

However, the situation of Prince Min's Mansion is special. Emperor T'en ordered Zhu Yinyu to inherit the title of Zhennan King first. As a result, the canonization of Wang Shizi will naturally be delayed.

Of course, the order of succession is there, as long as Zhu Yinzhen is alive, the crown prince will be his sooner or later, so there is no need to rush at this moment.

On the contrary, with the title of Zhennan King, you will have your own fiefdom and annual salary, and you will live more comfortably.

However, there is a problem in the middle, that is, if Zhu Yinyu does not have the name of the prince's son, then it would be unfair for him to manage the Min Fan and perform the sacrificial ceremony for him.

That's why Zhu Qiyu asked this question.

But obviously, his understanding was not wrong. After the words fell, Zhu Huixun got up, knelt down on the ground, and said.

"Please your majesty's permission!"

So, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the emperor, and said.

"Is this a little too fast? I just finished the county king canonization ceremony, and now I am preparing for the son's canonization ceremony, can the Ministry of Rites prepare it?"

While talking, the emperor looked at the Minister of Rites, Hu Wei, who was counting the carpets boredly.

That's right, besides the Son of Heaven and King Min, there is another person in this hall.

Master Hu sat beside him for a long time.

In fact, he was called into the palace before King Min entered the palace.

Otherwise, when something like this happened outside the city, he should have rushed to deal with it as soon as he got the news.

But being called into the palace, naturally he could only stay obediently.

Sitting next to him, the great uncle listened to the conversation between the Son of Heaven and King Min from beginning to end, but felt a little tired in his heart.

Your Majesty, there are no outsiders here, why don't we just do it?
They are all millennium-old foxes, what are they doing here...

With his vision, how could he fail to see that the two people in the palace were secretly confronting each other?

His Majesty pointed out that King Min stayed in Beijing and continued to deal with the affairs of the suzerain in a stable manner. Although some things have been kept secret these days, it is inevitable that some rumors will spread.

This Prince Min is also a person with a delicate mind, and he will notice the slightest disturbance, so it is normal for him to have conflicts in his heart.

Please canonize Zhu Yinxun as the crown prince and let him replace Zhu Huixun in Minfan. This move seems to be just a process, but it is actually showing his attitude.

To put it simply, if Zhu Huixun, the king of Min, planned to return to Min Fan in a short time, then naturally there would be no need for someone to sit in charge for him.

Since the request was made at this time, it can only be explained that Zhu Huixun intends to stay in the capital for a long time and serve the emperor.

On the court, many times, seemingly useless actions, but in fact, the meaning behind them is the most important.

However, I complained in my heart, but I still have to cooperate with those who should cooperate. Hearing the question from the emperor, Hu Wei immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has already made a custom for the ceremony of canonizing the son, and it does not take much trouble. If Your Majesty wishes, the Ministry of Rites can prepare for it immediately."

So, everyone is happy.

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and said.

"Since that's the case, I'm sure."

"Wynn, ordered the cabinet to draw up an edict, ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a book, and canonized the eldest son of the Min King, Yin Yu, as the son of the Min Mansion. He succeeded the Min Fan, and took over the affairs of the Min Fan, Zhu Huixun, the Min King. He is the Da Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion, and he is in charge of the clan affairs."

"According to the order!"

Wynn led the order and left in a hurry.

Zhu Huixun kowtowed and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"Uncle, please get up quickly. From now on, the affairs of the vassal will require a lot of trouble from the uncle!"

The Son of Heaven raised his hand and ordered Zhu Huixun to be helped up, and said sincerely.

Zhu Huixun was supported by his servant and stood up. Hearing this, he bowed his hands again and said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

"That's good..."

The emperor smiled, and immediately restrained his face, and said.

"Speaking of which, the Ministry of Rites recently sent me a memorial. I have quite a few new ideas about the matter of the suzerain. After reading it, I feel quite inspired. However, this matter is of great importance after all. My uncle is highly respected and now he is in charge of the sect. Renfu, so I want to hear what my uncle thinks?"

While talking, the emperor took out a memorial from the desk and ordered his servant to hand it over.

Zhu Huixun didn't have too many surprises, so he read the memorial after receiving it.

In fact, during this period of time, he had also vaguely heard the wind. Speaking of it, it was probably after the Qin Tianjian reported that the Earth Dragon would turn around, His Majesty frequently summoned the ministers of various ministries.

Forget about the other ministries. The Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction, the Ministry of Households is in charge of money and food, and the Ministry of War mobilizes officers and troops. In order to deal with the disaster, many preparations need to be made.

But the Ministry of Rites, logically speaking, should have nothing to do with them.

However, the strange thing is that the great uncle of the Ministry of Rites was summoned almost every day. As the clan mansion that had the most dealings with the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Huixun naturally noticed this.

Therefore, after he secretly sent someone to inquire, he found that every time Hu Wei was called into the palace and returned to the Ministry of Rites, he would read a lot of various past arrangements, imperial edicts, and documents about the suzerain vassal.

Therefore, Zhu Huixun couldn't say that he had anticipated the current scene, but he knew it well.

But, even so, when he really saw the memorial in his hand, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch violently...
