Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 891
The sun began to set obliquely, and after more than an hour of tossing, the guard of honor of King Yi, who was parked outside the palace city, finally started to move again.

It's just that this time, there was a chubby King Min among the luxurious carriages surrounded by people.

As soon as they got into the carriage, Yi Wang and his son immediately took a few sips of the tea prepared by the maid, and when Zhu Mianxun reached out to get some snacks, Zhu Yongyin glared at him fiercely, immediately making the latter a little embarrassed , obediently withdrew his hand.

After all, he was born in the clan, no matter how absurd it is usually, but etiquette is important, even now Zhu Yongyin himself is hungry, but in front of Zhu Huixun, the King of Min, how can he be as hungry as he is? Like a dead ghost?
The tea moistened his throat, finally he felt better, Zhu Yongyin endured the signal from his stomach, and cupped his hands.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry, this time when the little king came to Beijing, he was supposed to have a banquet to invite him, but since His Majesty ordered my father and son to stay in ten palaces, it may be difficult to see him for a while, so please forgive me. "

Seeing this situation, Zhu Huixun was naturally very considerate. Looking at Zhu Mianxun eagerly, he thought for a while, stretched out his hand to pinch a snack, and said.

"Speaking of which, this king is also a little hungry, so I won't be polite to you."

Looking at Zhu Huixun who was putting the snack into his mouth with a smile, Zhu Yongyin blushed, but he still couldn't resist the voice in his stomach, and made some snacks with Zhu Mianxi and started to eat.

After a while, a plate of snacks was poured into the stomachs of the three people, and they drank two more cups of tea, and they gradually recovered.

Swallowing the snack in his mouth, Zhu Yongyin glanced at Zhu Huixun's snack and took a bite, then looked at the snack plate that was almost eaten by the father and son, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly started to move Topic, said.

"Just now, I saw that when Brother Wang came out, he seemed to be unable to move, but he was punished in the palace?"

"Ugh……"

Hearing this, Zhu Huixun sighed and hesitated for a moment. He lifted the hem of his robe, and saw that the knees of the inner jacket were dotted with blood.

So, Zhu Yongyin was shocked and said.

"This...this is?"

"Yi Wang, you owe me a favor this time!"

Looking at Zhu Yongyin and his son resentfully, Zhu Huixun said.

"You waited outside for half an hour, but the king was in the palace, but he knelt for half an hour. This is not the time to be scolded by His Majesty!"

Ah this...

Zhu Yongyin didn't expect that Zhu Huixun would speak so directly, so he smiled wryly and said.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, Xiao Wang will naturally keep this friendship in his heart."

"Just, what's going on?"

"When I came to Beijing last time, I thought His Majesty's temper was quite mild. Why is it so violent this time?"

"It's fine to hang my father and son outside the Meridian Gate for an hour, but they don't even give Brother Wang any face..."

When mentioning this matter, King Yi's tone was filled with resentment and fear.

He had expected that it would not be easy when he returned to the capital, but he did not expect that he would be treated like this when he came up.

Obviously, Zhu Huixun dared to beg for favor with them so straightforwardly, which shows that he was really wronged in the palace this time.

To put it bluntly, the two of them didn't enter the palace. If they did, Zhu Huixun's punishment would probably be theirs.

Feeling the faint pain in his knees, Zhu Huixun cursed the two eunuchs who claimed to be "professional" just now [-] times in his heart, and then took a resentful look at Zhu Yongyin, and then said.

"Why didn't you tell me that today is not the day you were supposed to arrive? Not only that, but you ran into Yu Qian's imperial envoy Yijia outside the city. I heard that there was a conflict?"

"This……"

Hearing this question, Zhu Yongyin also felt a little guilty, and said hesitantly.

"Brother Wang, this is indeed the case, but I didn't think that no matter how powerful Yu Qian is, he is just a minister. He came out of Beijing with an order, and he made it clear that he wanted to target me, Yi Fan, so, I just came two days early and wanted to talk to him."

"But who would have thought that this old guy would not take hard and soft things, and besides, in front of so many civil and military ministers outside the city gate, regardless of their superiority or inferiority, he would dare to forcibly break into Yijia and question me, such an offensive act , if this king doesn’t respond, wouldn’t it make the entire world’s clan a joke?”

Seeing that Zhu Huixun's face was getting darker and darker, Zhu Yongyin hurriedly made amends.

"Brother Wang, this, I didn't do anything!"

"It's that Yu Qian who offended Wang Jia, but in the end he dared to threaten me openly and secretly. Just like that, I didn't do anything to him. I just let him go swaggeringly. If it's in Luoyang City..."

"How about in Luoyang City?"

Seeing Zhu Yongyin getting more and more excited as he spoke, Zhu Huixun snorted coldly, glared at him, and asked with a dark face.

"Are you going to find another group of local ruffians to attack the imperial envoy?"

Although the two of them didn't have much contact with each other, Zhu Huixun was older than him, and now he was in charge of a large and serious job. In addition, although he hadn't figured out exactly what happened, but because of helping him They were punished for interceding, and Zhu Yongyin unconsciously became a head shorter.

What's more, he was at a loss for this matter, so he could only speak in a nonchalant manner.

"This...it won't happen!"

"Ugh……"

Sighing heavily again, Zhu Huixun looked at Zhu Yongyin with a look of hatred for iron, and said.

"There is no one else here, so don't think Brother Wang's words are unpleasant."

"It's okay for you to be arrogant and domineering in Henan Mansion, but you can do things like hiring people to attack court officials?"

"Don't talk about Yu Qian's status in the capital, do you know that last time because of the rectification of the army, the Hou Renli of Ningyuan secretly ordered the army to assassinate him. In the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, only orphans and widows are left guarding."

"As soon as this incident ended, the imperial court received Yi Fan's report. What do you make His Majesty think? What do the civil and military officials of the imperial court think?"

Zhu Yongyin was a little dazed by such a series of questioning, hesitated for a moment, and asked without confidence.

"Brother Wang, is it really so serious? Are you scaring me..."

"Scare you?"

Zhu Huixun narrowed his eyes and snorted.

"Believe it or not, today outside the city, if you move Yu Qian's finger, you will not be able to enter this city gate, and you will have to be sent directly to the high wall of Fengyang to guard the mausoleum!"

"Otherwise, when you treat Yu Qian as this, where do you have the confidence? Since he is going to Yifan, doesn't he know what kind of temper you have? Now that he knows, he still does this. Don't you think about it, why would he do it?"

Zhu Yongyin blinked and said hesitantly.

"He wants to piss me off?"

Zhu Huixun didn't speak, but just threw a look at you that you didn't understand.

This demeanor made Zhu Yongyin slowly believe in this statement.

He thought about the scene of meeting Yu Qian at that time, and from the clues, he also realized that Yu Qian at that time did indeed have the meaning of conflicting with him on purpose.

"But why is this? This king has never offended him!"

Zhu Yongyin asked with a depressed face.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Huixun seemed a little hesitant. After a while, he looked around to make sure that there were people from King Yi around him, and then he spoke cautiously.

"Originally, this matter should be discussed in detail with you in a safe and secluded place in the palace after you enter the capital, but now that there is such a commotion, both of you father and son will be banned from the ten palaces immediately, so it will be difficult for you and me to discuss this matter alone. There is only a little time on the road, so I can only talk here."

Seeing Zhu Huixun's solemn expression, Zhu Yongyin also became a little nervous and asked.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter? You are..."

Zhu Huixun looked at the father and son in front of him, pondered for a moment, seemed to be thinking about where to start, and finally, he asked first.

"Didn't you ask why His Majesty's temper is so violent?"

"Just a few days before you arrived in Beijing, there was an earthquake in the capital. Did you know about it?"

Zhu Yongyin did not expect that it was this matter that made Zhu Huixun so serious. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said.

"I have heard a little bit, it is said that it was predicted by Qin Tianjian?"

When the earthquake happened, they were only a few days away from the capital, and they even felt the tremor.

Later, he got a report from the imperial court, and sent someone to inquire about the news. King Yi also had some understanding of this matter.

Zhu Huixun nodded and continued.

"After this incident happened, many people in the court accused His Majesty of being unethical and punished by heaven and disaster based on the theory of the relationship between heaven and man. Although they were quickly suppressed, because of this incident, the recent His Majesty has been in a bad mood for a while."

"Of course, this is not the biggest reason why you were treated so coldly. The Qin Tianjian gave an early warning about the earthquake, so it didn't cause too much loss. The imperial court's disaster relief matters are also progressing steadily, which is not a big deal. event."

"However, the most difficult thing is that the Qin Tianjian not only predicted the earthquake, but also reported to His Majesty that in the next few years, there will be natural disasters in various parts of the court..."

Zhu Yongyin seemed to understand a little bit, and asked.

"So, because of this reason, Your Majesty is getting more and more angry with me about things outside the city, so?"

"Yes and no!"

Zhu Huixun frowned, first nodded, then shook his head, hesitating for a moment, he looked at Zhu Yongyin opposite him, and said meaningfully.

"Yi Wang, your father and son have been in Henan Mansion for a long time, and I'm afraid they don't know much about the situation in the capital. Now the pool of water in the capital is muddy!"

His knees were still hurting, and while scolding the two eunuchs in his heart, Zhu Huixun also secretly made up his mind that his crime should not be in vain...

Seeing Zhu Yongyin's confused look, Zhu Huixun continued to explain.

"This matter, in the final analysis, has to go back to the matter of you sending people to attack the court officials."

"You are far away in Henan Province, so you don't know how big the shock of this matter is in Beijing. Rectifying the army is originally a major policy that His Majesty has vigorously promoted."

"Because of this matter, His Majesty has cleaned up almost all the nobles in the capital. Even the Marquis of Changping, who was personally called back to the capital by His Majesty and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, almost broke his family because of this. , fought with Ren Li, and the one who fell now should be the Marquis of Changping."

"It is a taboo of His Majesty to obstruct the rectification of the military settlement!"

These secrets about the capital, Zhu Yongjin is far away in the fiefdom, so he really doesn't know the details, and now he hears it, but he is somewhat dubious.

However, Zhu Huixun ignored him and continued talking.

"Also, you have to understand that all the civil servants in the court are powerless, so they are also extremely sensitive to things like attacking court ministers."

"I've already talked about Ren Li's matter, but just after Ren Li's end was dealt with, news of your case came out. What do you think these civil servants will think? How will they react?"

Poor Zhu Yongyin is just a pampered, arrogant and domineering vassal king. He is very good at talking about eating, drinking, having fun, and bullying the people.

However, for this kind of intrigue and guessing intentions, eight of them are tied together, and it is not as good as one Zhu Huixun. Otherwise, he would not be able to attack the court ministers, and even threatened magistrates openly thing.

At this moment, being thrown over by one question after another, his mind has long been a mess, and he said in a muffled voice when he felt anxious.

"What can they do? Could it be that they can still send me to Fengyang?"

"You think they can't do it?"

Zhu Huixun sneered and choked him to death with a single sentence.

"What happened outside the city just now, have you forgotten?"

"This……"

Zhu Yongyin was speechless for a while, and finally said in a low voice.

"Brother Wang, this is just an accident. After all, Yu Qian doesn't know that I will be in the capital today..."

"It's true that he didn't know that you would come to the capital today, but I'm afraid you haven't realized how dark the hearts of these civil servants are."

Zhu Huixun shook his head and said.

"For a minister like Qian, dealing with emergencies is already a familiar matter, even if it is just a temporary collision with you, inducing you to conflict with him, and then making you angry without knowing anything It is not difficult, Your Majesty."

"What's more, the consequences of this matter are far more than what you see now..."

As he spoke, Zhu Huixun's face became serious, and his chubby face tightened, inexplicably making the atmosphere in the carriage a little tense, he asked.

"Do you think that you are a clan vassal, so even if you do something out of the ordinary, these ministers in Beijing will have nothing to do with you?"

This is obviously a rhetorical question, but in Zhu Yongyin's heart, it is obvious that this is what he thinks.

Therefore, he wisely neither nodded nor shook his head, but just kept silent, waiting for Zhu Huixun's next words.

However, it doesn't matter whether he answers or not, Zhu Huixun immediately continued.

"It's fine if it's an ordinary thing, but as I said just now, the Ren Li incident has not subsided, and this incident happened in Yi Fan. Many ministers in Beijing felt that this was a provocation, so this momentum must be suppressed." Press down."

"That's right, it's true that these ministers can't do anything to you directly, but there are people who can!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yongyin's chaotic mind finally had a bit of inspiration, and asked.

"You mean, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Huixun nodded and sighed.

"Your Majesty respects close relatives, and has always been lenient towards the clan of feudal princes, but you must know that although we are our own family, after all, it is these civil servants who stay by Your Majesty's side every day."

"The incident caused by Yifan this time is to obstruct His Majesty's great government. This matter has already made His Majesty unhappy. For these civil servants, it is naturally even more powerful."

"Of course, with the ancestral system, even if His Majesty is unhappy, it is not easy to touch the vassal king lightly, but this is where things go wrong."

"This time, these civil servants have no good intentions at all."

"What they want to target is not you alone, but... Zongwu!"
