Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 288 Big nephew, what can we do?

Old Zhu whimpered, crying so sadly that all thoughts were lost.

Concubine Guo Hui kept on persuading her, she never believed that such a well-behaved and sensible child like Xiao Xunxiu could do such an outrageous thing.

"My lord, maybe there is some misunderstanding here, you have to see the child with your own eyes, and listen to what the child has to say, right?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt a little better immediately, and turned his head to look at Qin Deshun.

"Did you see that Ni Sun just now?"

"Going back to the emperor, the servants only saw a group of people rushing in with open fire and surrounded the third and outer floors of our Qianqing Palace. They didn't see the third grandson at all!"

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she had caught on.

"You haven't even seen the face of Xiao Yuxi, so why do you say that Xiao Yuxi rebelled!"

Qin Deshun hurriedly explained.

"Responding to the words of Concubine Hui, those people kept saying that they were ordered by the third emperor's grandson to surround the Qianqing Palace, and not even a fly could be let in!"

"This……"

Concubine Guo Hui was also speechless when she heard this.But she still didn't want to believe it, she struggled to get up from the ground and walked out.

"What are you going for?"

"Are you going to betray us too?"

Concubine Guo Hui turned around and smiled at Old Zhu.

"My lord, you are too narrow-minded, let's just go out and see if it's Xiao Xun who is playing tricks!"

"Oh……"

"Then go back quickly, be careful on the road, don't be entangled by the chaos!"

"Hey!"

"Don't worry, if it's really Xiao Xun who rebelled, he will never dare to disrespect us!"

Concubine Guo Hui dropped Lao Zhu, hurriedly opened the palace gate, and walked towards the gate of Qianqing Palace.

However, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by two soldiers.

Each of the soldiers is not very old, they look only fifteen or sixteen years old, but their expressions are very firm, without the slightest accommodating meaning.

"We sealed off the Qianqing Palace under the order of King Wu. Whether people inside want to go out or people outside want to go in, they must have the order of our King Wu!"

"Bold!"

"This palace is Concubine Hui!"

Facing Concubine Guo Hui's roar, Xiao Bing was not moved at all, but looked at Concubine Guo Hui quite unexpectedly.

"Don't say you can't fly, even if you can fly!"

"If you dare to fly out, your arm will be broken!"

"you!"

"I'm talking about Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui's Concubine Hui!"

"Your Majesty can also fly?"

"I've never heard of anyone saying that there is a flying lady in the palace..."

"you……"

"You call Zhu Yunxi to Ben Gong!"

When Xiao Bing heard this, he was stupefied again.

"Who is Zhu Yunxi?"

"Our King Wu said that no one will be allowed to come, even if Zhu Yunxi comes!"

Concubine Guo Hui completely collapsed upon hearing this, and could no longer care about Feng Yi's decency and noble concubine's posture.

"Your King Wu is Zhu Yunxi!"

"Zhu Yunxi is the name of your King Wu!"

"is it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Bing hurriedly ran to his Shangguan to inquire. The Shangguan knew the name of King Wu, but when he heard the other party reveal the name "Hui Concubine", he knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, so he immediately pretended not to be trifled with. Shaking his head knowingly.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, our King Wu's name is Zhu Tong, not Zhu Yunxie!"

The soldier got the centurion's answer, and immediately ran back to the gate of Qianqing Palace.

"Miss Wuna, don't think that I'm easy to be deceived when I'm young. Our centurion said that His Royal Highness King Wu's name is Zhu Tong, so I don't want you to talk about Zhu Yunxi!"

"If you are sensible, go back quickly, don't let us get rough on you!"

Concubine Guo Hui also had a bit of a temper. Hearing this threat, she didn't back down in the slightest, but took a few steps forward.

"If you are capable, you kill Ben Gong with a single shot, and see if His Royal Highness King Wu will spare you when he comes back!"

"Don't come here!"

"If you come here again, I'll shoot!"

"Go!"

"I am not afraid of..."

Just after Concubine Guo Hui took a few steps forward, Xiao Bing pulled the trigger instantly.However, there were no fireworks or gunpowder in the firecracker, only a stream of black ink spewed out.

The ink splashed onto Concubine Guo Hui's face, which directly stunned Concubine Guo Hui.

"you!"

"I'm warning you, if you step forward, we'll still slap you!"

When Xiao Bing was talking, he pulled the trigger again, and with a "呵", another jet of black ink spewed out.

Seeing this, Concubine Guo Hui subconsciously hid for a while, and then saw four or five black firecrackers aimed at her. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran back to Qianqing Palace crying.

Lao Zhu never expected that his Guo Aifei would come back with a big black face after only going out for a short while.

If Concubine Guo Hui hadn't bared her teeth, he would hardly have recognized it.

"Guo Hui, what's wrong with you, how dare those bastards disrespect you?"

"My lord, where did Xiao Xun find these bastards, all of them don't get in at all, and even use ink to piss me off, woo woo woo..."

When Lao Zhu heard Guo Huifei's words, his heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.

"So, is Zhu Yunxie's rebellious grandson really rebellious?"

Concubine Guo Hui hurriedly explained upon hearing this.

"I'm not sure yet, maybe it's the little soldiers messing around..."

Seeing that Concubine Guo Hui was still speaking for the Ni Sun, Lao Zhu could only shake his head helplessly.

"Don't be stubborn. In fact, it doesn't matter if he has the guts to rebel."

"If he has the ability of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, we will be happy to hide in the palace and hold the baby!"

"I'm afraid that this child is young and has no experience, and will be taught badly by the rebellious officials and thieves around him..."

Concubine Guo Hui felt a little relieved when she saw that the emperor was not really angry with Xiaoxiu.

"My lord, wait and see, Xiao Xie will definitely give you an explanation!"

"Don't mention that Ni Sun's name to us!"

"No one is allowed to mention it in the future!"

When Concubine Guo Hui suspected that Zhu Yunxi would rebel, Mei Yin, the admiral of the capital, also looked at Erhu suspiciously.

"Brother Erhu, you don't have imperial father's imperial edict, and you don't have the writings of the Ministry of War. Let me hand over the military power to you. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense, right?"

"Follow the right in a hurry!"

"The humble position is also based on the will of the third emperor. Do you think the third emperor can rebel against the emperor?"

"Can't you?"

When Mei Yin thought of the days when she was with Zhu Yunxi on the boat, 10,000 question marks suddenly appeared in her mind.

He instinctively felt that Zhu Yunxi was a good boy and would not do such rebellious things.But history has proved time and time again that nothing can be trusted in the face of imperial power.

Family affection is not good, and friendship is even worse.

As for loyalty...

Ha ha.

If there was loyalty, Huaxia wouldn't have to change dynasties so many times.

However, it was also difficult to convince him that Zhu Yunxi would rebel.

Because it doesn't make sense at all, the father has hinted to himself, saying that he intends to establish Zhu Yunxi and make himself an important minister, so why did Zhu Yunxi rebel?
He just needs to wait in peace for a few years, and when he is a few years older, the throne will naturally be his!

"Did the grandson of the third emperor tell you why you took the soldiers?"

"said!"

"It is said to control all the main roads to Beijing, and no one is allowed to enter or exit!"

"that is it?"

Erhu looked at the suspicious look on Mei Yin's face, and felt a little angry in his heart.

"What else?"

"Do you think that the third emperor's grandson will lead troops to attack the palace and trap the emperor in Qianqing Palace?"

Mei Yin hurriedly explained upon hearing this.

"That's not the case. Based on my understanding of the child, the child is quite respectful to his grandpa."

"It's just...it's just that the child is young and easily bewitched by people with ulterior motives..."

When Mei Yin said this, he stared straight at Erhu, the meaning couldn't be more clear.

The grandson of the third emperor is a good grandson of the emperor, but you may not be a good tiger if you are a second tiger!

Seeing such suspicious eyes, Er Hu felt extremely humiliated.

"it is good!"

"Since you don't trust us, let's not say anything about taking your military power. You lead the soldiers to blockade the capital, and I will follow the head office!"

"Is that so..."

Mei Yin hesitated slightly and said.

"Row!"

"Just do it!"

After Mei Yin said this, he immediately ordered people to beat the Jujiang drum, and then assigned tasks in front of Erhu.

Seeing that Mei Yin was still cooperative, Erhu stopped talking, just watched quietly from the side, and then sent someone to report the situation here to Zhu Yunxi.

On the other side, the Yiying Yamen located in Hongwumen was also sealed by Zhu Yunxi.

Except that the Ministry of Punishment was at Taiping Gate, the other five ministers were all stunned when they saw this situation.

What's the situation? Is the emperor going to kill people and sacrifice to heaven again?

A group of officials thought of this, and hurried back to the duty room in tears, spread out the paper and wrote the suicide note.

I was afraid that I would be too slow to write, so I was forcibly dragged out by the people of Jin Yiwei.

They didn't put down their pens full of suspicion until they received an order from the third emperor's grandson, asking them to enter Fengtian Hall to discuss matters.

The situation is not right!

This is not to kill us, it may be to change the sky!

They have no fear of changing the sky, and are even a little excited.

No matter what you say, the little emperor is easier to deal with than the old emperor, and he is easier to coax, right?

And through the last court rod incident, they felt that the little emperor was quite reasonable, at least he didn't use a big stick to make people shut up and give people the right to speak.

From this point of view alone, his nature is still kind, upright, and fair...

Of course, for civil servants, this is just the spirit of Ah Q that they have to accept.

After all, if they were given a choice, they would rather choose Zhu Yunqi who was more obedient and closer to the civil servants.

Even the little bastard Zhu Yunxi is more pleasing to the eye than Zhu Yunxi.

However, when everyone rushed to Fengtian Hall and saw a group of princes standing in the hall, they were collectively confused again.

This script is wrong, shouldn't the old emperor crown the new emperor, why do you have such a bunch of small shrimps?

Compared to the astonishment of the civil servants, the princes were very excited.Especially Zhu Zhi, Zhu Quan and others, they never dreamed that they would also have the opportunity to come to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters!

Don't say that Zhu Yunxi hasn't rebelled yet, even if Zhu Yunxi wants to rebel and force his father to abdicate, they can rush to do so.

However, they also had a little doubt in their hearts, that is, what exactly does the eldest nephew want to do? Is it really going to be the opposite?

If so, that would be great, hahaha!
With their relationship with the elder nephew, the elder nephew had to change them to a fief closer to the capital, so that they could go back to the capital to play for a while if they had nothing to do, la la la.

"Eldest nephew, please speak up, tell us what you want us to do!"

When all the officials heard the yelling of these princes, they wished they could turn around and leave.

This good Fengtian Hall was turned into a mess by a third grandson, as if he was having a meeting with the King of the Mountain.

Zhu Yunxi moved a chair, sat in front of the dragon chair, and sat down in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, all the civil servants suddenly felt a little bit less upset. At least the three grandsons had a bit of respect for the old emperor, so they didn't sit directly on the dragon chair.

However, Zhu Zhi and the others were not happy, they wished they could carry the grandson to sit on it.

"Eldest nephew, is the father the emperor?"

"Father, why did you die, wow..."

Zhu Zhi scratched his neck and howled dryly, although there were some tears on his face, but definitely not many.

Relatively speaking, the other princes were much better. Some wept silently, some wailed loudly, and some rolled on the ground while crying.

But they ignored one problem, that is, no one thought to question it, even if no one asked about the cause of death, they acquiesced to the authenticity of this matter.

A group of officials looked at the gangsters of the old Zhu's family, wishing to strangle them to death for the old emperor, but when they thought that they had finally got rid of the old emperor's terror, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like they were seeing the sun behind the clouds.

Now they are only hesitant about one thing, and that is how to salute Zhu Yunxi.

Is it a big gift of three knocks and nine bows, or just a bow?

However, Zhu Yunxi didn't give them time to think. Seeing that it was almost time for them to arrive, he immediately announced a few orders.

"From now on, everyone will eat and live in the yamen, and are not allowed to leave the yamen for half a step!"

"From now on, the whole city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"From now on, the state affairs will be handled by the orphan instead of the emperor's grandfather, and no one should have any objections!"

"Whoever dares to object will be thrown into Jinyiwei prison to eat rats!"

Everyone was speechless for a while after hearing such a disgusting threat.

It's better to suffer from the imperial staff!

The princes were very excited and stood behind Zhu Yunxi spontaneously, expressing their support for the eldest nephew with practical actions.

Seeing such a scene, other civil officials dared not speak out in support, but they did not dare to oppose it clearly.

Only Qi Tai walked out of the crowd with a look of grief and indignation, and questioned Zhu Yunxi a few words on the spot.

"Zhu Yunxi, are you going to rebel?"

"Why did Mr. Qi say that?"

"Smallpox epidemic appeared in the palace, and I was ordered to prevent the spread of smallpox for the emperor's grandfather when he was in danger."

"After Gu has finished this task and ensure the stability of the capital, it is natural for Grandpa Huang to come out and preside over the government."

"Is this true?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Furthermore, why did Gu rebel?"

"As long as the orphan survives for a few years and sends Grandpa Huang to Zhongshan to be with Grandma Huang, the throne of Ming Dynasty is naturally lonely."

"The lonely criminal can't even wait for the past few years, so he can give himself a reputation for treason?"

When the people in Fengtian Hall heard this, their minds were all messed up.

Although what the grandson said was the truth, why did the truth sound so harsh?
He also sent Grandpa Huang to Zhongshan...

How dare you say that!

If this spread to the old emperor's ears, he might as well be beaten to death on the spot!

The group of rebel kings behind Zhu Yunxi heard it very happily, and only felt that this was the bearing and pattern that the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty should have.

If there were not many outsiders present, they would even applaud!
Qi Tai was also quite satisfied with Zhu Yunxi's words. Although these words were a bit harsh, he had taught Zhu Yunxi for several months after all, and he was used to this grandson's unrestrained speech.

"it is good!"

"Then I will trust you once as a teacher. If you dare to rebel or hurt His Majesty the Emperor, you will be killed as a teacher, and you will not be your official!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly stood up from the chair, and enthusiastically grabbed Qi Tai's hand.

"Mr. Qi, don't worry, I am the person in this world who most wishes Grandpa Huang to live a long life, and I will never do anything to hurt Grandpa Huang!"

"Everything I do now is to hope that Grandpa Huang can live longer!"

"Next, I will entrust you with one of the most important things, I hope you can help me..."

"it is good!"

Qi Tai bowed to Zhu Yunxi, and he accepted Zhu Yunxi's words.

"Please order from the third grandson!"

"Call the doctors from all the medical centers in the capital, and they will all be under the direct management of Gu from now on!"

"I will give you a copy of the health regulations later, you just follow the instructions above!"

"Gutiao will give you three thousand Jinyiwei, let them fully cooperate with you..."

"promise!"

After Qi Tai received the decree, Zhu Yunxi looked at Chen Zongli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Close all official and private food stores, and the imperial court will purchase and distribute them uniformly!"

"The people in the city are ordered to stay in their respective lifangs and not to move around at will."

"Organize the people outside the city and ensure the logistics supply..."

"In addition, to buy farm cattle in the name of the imperial court, let's buy a few hundred cattle first. If there is a need in the future, we will requisition as many cattle as possible..."

"promise……"

"Qin Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, obeys orders!"

"Close all government-run workshops, organize craftsmen to repair all vacant warehouses and houses in the city, and prepare them as isolation points..."

"In addition, you can go to the workshop under the isolated name to get coal stoves, briquettes and other items. Be sure to ensure the temperature of each isolation point, so that no one can freeze to death!"

"promise!"

As Zhu Yunxi issued a series of government orders, every official took orders.

Although they don't understand why Zhu Yunxi did this, they do understand one thing. In this situation, it is better to have a solution than to have no solution.

Moreover, among the orders issued by Zhu Yunxi, one of the most important messages is to stabilize the order in the capital!

In these uncontrolled pandemic times, order clearly works better than any panacea.

Even if the epidemic cannot be prevented in the end, as long as the order of the third emperor's grandson is followed, at least the loss can be minimized.

That's why they gladly took orders!

Because these orders Zhu Yunxi said can really prevent and control the epidemic!

The princes behind Zhu Yunxi saw that all the officials had received errands, and they couldn't stand up immediately.

"Big nephew!"

"And us, what can we do!"

"You guys..."
