Chapter 257

The next day, the atmosphere in the entire capital was very strange, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky.However, most of the people in the market believed that Shen Yu was the abolished prince, and felt that this was a great joyous event.

The emperor adjusted personnel nervously, but did not express his position.

On the third day, according to the arrangement of the court, instead of going to court, everyone went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heaven and the earth and prepare for the spring sowing.

This is one of the most important sacrifices of the year. The prince will take a group of people to the Temple of Heaven outside the city to worship the heaven and the earth and pray for a good harvest and good weather.

Originally, when such a big event happened, the emperor would not go to the Temple of Heaven ten miles outside the city, lest Shen Yu should do anything, but he still followed the arrangement, and went out of the city after four o'clock in the morning.

In the eyes of careerists and conspirators, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Has His Majesty invited me?"

Shen Yu was at Xue's house and asked like this.

After the big incident the day before yesterday, the situation in the capital today is extremely weird. Everyone kept silent about what happened yesterday. It was rumored in the capital that Shen Yu and Shen Zicai were actually a monster. He changed his appearance in the court yesterday in order to confuse the emperor and steal The throne and so on, today, the gods and masters from all walks of life are being summoned to prepare for the matter of subduing demons.

"No, His Majesty didn't even issue an edict to admit your identity."

"Oh, this father is still unwilling to accept the reality."

Shen Yu said with a smile, and said to Xue Yuhua.

"Since His Majesty does not invite me, then I will go to see His Majesty."

His eyes turned cold in an instant, and he said to Xue Yuhua.

"Some people are shameless!"

……

In front of the White Tiger Gate of the capital, the two generals stood there with wry smiles on each other.

The generals of one of the nine gates guarding the capital are all honorable children of innocent background. They are the most powerful assistants of the emperor. On weekdays, no matter whether they are palace eunuchs or civil and military officials, they have nothing to do with them. The emperor only needs to give an order. , no matter which one is destroyed, they will do it directly without hesitation.

But today, both generals fell into confusion.

What are these things?The prince returned, but the emperor refused to admit it!

Well, when he came out of the palace yesterday, Shen Yu ordered Xue's family to follow my arrangement to create public opinion desperately.

People always believe what they believe, such as Hamlet, such as the revenge of the prince.

"Actually, the prince was forced to death by the emperor. The special envoy took two copies of the imperial decree. If the prince did not commit suicide, he would not be honored.

There is no other way, the prince used Shen Yu's identity to escape by feigning death, but he was reluctant to part with his wife and children, so he stayed in Linzhou City, living near his wife and concubine. .

The benevolent prince has been compiling books for the benefit of the common people all these years. Even if he changed his identity, he finally passed on the knowledge. Then, he had no intention of going against his father, so he asked for a boat in advance. Want to go overseas, seek three high-yield crops and never come back.

But... who would have thought that an adulterer discovered the identity of the prince and slandered him, so the emperor came to test the prince in the name of giving a marriage in the court hall.

The object of the marriage was the prince's own sister, how could he be willing to let his sister's innocence be damaged?

So, the prince revealed his identity. In the hall, all the adults, according to the files and various tests, finally Prince Bao had to admit that the one in front of him was the prince.

It's a pity that the Son of Heaven is still deceived by the traitor, and he refuses to admit his mistakes, refuses to recognize the Crown Prince... oh..."

The real lie is nine truths and one falsehood. Shen Yu compiled several kinds of rumors at the same time, and the core of these various rumors is in the final analysis.

The emperor is fatuous, the crown prince is wise, the woman is steadfast, and Empress Yang... Well, this time, Empress Yang was not mentioned, but the Xue family sent a letter to Empress Yang, the main idea of ​​which was that.

"Please believe in my personality and my intelligence. I never sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, nor do I want everyone to fight to the death. I want everyone to be happy.

The children of the Yang family can't be emperors, but they can become vassal kings overseas. In ancient times, there was Taijun She. In this era, there can also be the legend of Queen Mother Yang! "

One letter after another was written to the major families in the city, nobles, officials, etc., and the letters were stamped with the crown prince's seal, which stated frankly that Shen Yu planned to revise and organize the government, as well as his vision for the future and so on.

Big work, can be more brilliant!
The families who received the letters all had weird faces. Some hid them, some handed them over to the inner court, and some directly gave them to the Shangguan. Of course, this is not the point. Print out relevant things, including his political platform, and spread them all over the city!

Yes, his only former property, the printing house, was up and running.

A long time ago, in a middle school textbook, there was an article about the underground printing house in Tbilisi, which told the story of underground workers and a well under the personal leadership of Comrade Mustache.

In order to resist the brutal rule of Tsarist Russia, they hid the printing machine in a well. Shen Yu was very puzzled when he was a child, why did they use so many people to protect the printing machine layer by layer?

There are sentries on the street, guards at the gates, and inside the well... Everyone protects the printing press like eyeballs. Comrade Moustache is still proud of it. Why?
It wasn't until later that Shen Yu realized that this story told a truth.

The printing press is more powerful than bullets and money!
Especially, when it was in the hands of the prince.

The rigid master kept on day and night, and the printed pages were all over the sky. The two generals naturally saw the corresponding things, such as books that made Daqian more brilliant, such as making Dagan eternally brilliant, etc., which described the American colonization. According to the story of the age, one person can own the splendor of a hundred acres of land!

Well, instead of crossing the stage, Shen Yu took the story of the Western Development of the United States from a certain era.

As long as you go there, you can have one hundred acres of land per person, and then eat meat every day.

In this era, this thing is even more insane than xxx!

The soldiers under him circulated this thing one by one, and seeing the convincing story above, the two generals asked their superiors, do they want to confiscate these things?But the superior pretended to be deaf and dumb, saying that I don't know anything, so don't ask me and wait, you can handle it yourself.

Well... After the two generals are nobles, they naturally understand how delicate the current government is.

A large number of people in the inner court were suspended, and several commanders of the Imperial Guard also stayed behind closed doors. His Majesty the Emperor was furious, but he had to stabilize the situation first.

But, who trusts you now?
You started the killing spree a year ago, you should have killed everything, cleaned one side after another, who else is willing to show up again now?
It's cool to be ruthless, but now the sequelae have come, and most people just act like turtles and don't participate in anything.

So, what about the two of them?

"Stop, why are you galloping around the city?"

Seeing the cavalry approaching in the distance, the leading general's scalp tingled.

The people who came were holding a banner, which was the banner of the crown prince. The people from the Xue family were in front, and the crown prince was behind.

"This is the prince's car. He is going to the Temple of Heaven to attend the sacrifice. Do you want to block the way?"

There are not many people, less than 100 people. As for the pass token... Well, you need a token to enter the city, and you only need to report to go out of the city. What's more, this group of people is headed by the crown prince. How can everyone stop it?
"Oh, I'm going to report the letter, Lao Bai, you keep it..."

Someone ran away...

……

"I have already contacted many people, they are rushing towards the capital, and the senior sword master has arrived."

"Two of them are willing to cooperate with us, but the premise is to see sincerity, but I don't think they can be trusted."

"The Xue family has mobilized as many people as possible, but the local officials have an ambiguous attitude."

"Most of the people in the city think this is a conflict between the emperor and the prince, and the officials and others don't want to cause trouble."

The carriage walked leisurely towards the Temple of Heaven, Xue Yuhua told Shen Yu the latest information.

This moderately large team had people on horseback pass by from time to time on both sides, and the members of the Xue family were told that anyone who crossed the line and threatened everyone would not hesitate to attack.

Soon, a group of people came to the Temple of Heaven, and then a group of imperial guards blocked Shen Yu's way.

"Your Mightiness……"

"Your Excellency, this is His Royal Highness, don't you know him?"

Xue Yuhua scolded sharply.

"Your Excellency, this is the residence of the Son of Heaven. You can't wait to gallop on horses. I now ask you to dismount immediately, throw down your weapons, and accept the inspection, or you will be shot!"

Well, someone has already whispered to Shen Yu who this person is, some lucky person, simply put, willing to be the emperor's knife.

"Xin Hongde, you are disobedient and immoral, and you are making trouble below. Let me ask you one last question, is the person in front of you the crown prince?"

Xue Yuhua scolded loudly, behind her, the prince's wives and concubines were all dressed in soft armor, with their hands on their weapons, getting ready.

"Your Excellency! Do not trespass in the camp!"

"kill!"

Shen Yu said something, and the sisters of the Chen family beside Xie Yuhua jumped into the air and rushed towards the leading officer.

Xin Hongde's face was contorted, and he quickly drew his sword to resist, but after seeing each other, he and his four soldiers were beheaded by the sisters of the Chen family.

Not far from where the two sides fought, there was a guard team of hundreds of people, ready to fight, but no one thought that Shen Yu's side would strike so quickly and decisively!

There was confusion in the Imperial Guard team. Some people took up weapons and wanted to rush forward, some looked hesitant, and even though they moved, they didn't move.

"Mu Boyu, Yan Tiancheng, Lin Hanying, are you going to rebel? You're still going to be ransacked, just like Cheng Lin!"

Shen Yu coldly called out the names of the three leading officers, and also mentioned the fate of the previous commander of the imperial guards.

"Xin Hongde isolated himself from the inside and outside. He didn't let me see my father. I didn't even admit it. He was going to have his family ransacked and exterminated. As for you... I'm here. I don't want to rebel. Go tell the emperor and ask, Whether he admits it or not, I am his son!"

Although Shen Yu had no internal strength, Xue Yuhua helped to spread his voice far.

"I came today to bid farewell to my father."

Behind Shen Yu, a person flashed out, his face was covered with scars, and his voice was very shrill.

"My father was ordered to announce the edict to the prince. Before the edict was announced, the court gave him two edicts, which were actually to force the prince to commit suicide.

The prince didn't rebel, he didn't live up to the love between father and son, he pretended to commit suicide, and got rid of the love between father and son.

Here I have the imperial decree given by His Majesty back then. After my father worked for His Majesty, he was slandered and delayed his trip, which caused the prince to commit suicide. My father and my brothers all died in the execution ground. None of the 13 members of my family were left behind!
This is the end of working for the emperor. Fortunately, I escaped early and saved my life! "

The man roared loudly and at the top of his lungs. At this moment, one of the people over there suddenly rushed over on horseback, and then looked at the man in front of him.

"You're talking nonsense. You're not Liu Changyou. I've killed you long ago. Together with your children, you've been wiped out!"

The man who came out was a palace eunuch, and his voice was very sharp.

This scene caused the imperial guards to make a fuss. Everyone sighed for that unlucky guy before, but they also knew that Tianziwang was lenient and let this man's child escape, but now...

"I'm Liu Changyou. I know you. You stabbed me in the chest, but my heart is on the other side. You set fire to the house, thinking you could destroy the corpse, but it's a pity..."

The man yelled hoarsely, his internal strength allowed his voice to travel far, and the eunuch was also arguing, telling how he killed the man, the more he argued, the more guilty he became, and even said that this was an order from above etc.

Finally, the eunuch suddenly ran away on his horse...

Guardsmen, the little bit of courage I finally had at this time naturally disappeared without a trace.

Hmm, Shen Yu motioned for that person to come back behind him.

It's a prearranged play.

The day before yesterday, the emperor carried out an emergency rectification of the servants and the palace. A large number of people died, disappeared, disappeared, imprisoned, and unemployed at home.

Eunuch Wei and the others were even more targeted.

"If you have something to do in the future, you can come to me. I am a loyal person and I will never betray my friends."

Shen Yu said this to Eunuch Wei before, and Eunuch Wei felt puzzled at that time, but now, he understands the deep meaning of Shen Yu.

The Son of Heaven didn't kill Eunuch Wei, after all, the involvement was too deep, but Eunuch Wei knew that after the situation calmed down, he would die.

He knew too many inside stories, and the emperor would never let him go.

So, he asked his adopted son and others to seek refuge with Shen Yu and give it a try.

So, there was this play, Shen Yu found someone, pretended to be someone, and then the eunuch came out to prove the matter. As for why he dared to be so brave, it was Eunuch Wei's method.

"Wait, don't leave yet!"

Xue Yuhua yelled loudly at the people in front of him, and then, a group of people surrounded Shen Yu and rushed inside.

The imperial guards blocking the way were all ashen-faced. They were all sons of noble families, or sons of good families. Who would want to be involved in this kind of royal power struggle?What's more, the previous example is bloody on it!

The imperial guards and others had no fighting spirit at all, pretended to resist twice, and fled in all directions, while Shen Yu and others continued to go in the direction of the emperor.

"stop!"

This time, a few courtiers stood in the way, among them were the gray-haired Hanlin, teachers from the Imperial College, and court officials, such as the former prime minister.

More than 30 people, some with bare hands and some with long swords, blocked the path of Shen Yu and others.

"Hello teacher."

Shen Yu got off the horse and came to a white-haired old man. This is the Taifu who supervised the prince's studies. At the beginning, he strongly opposed the abolition of the prince in the court, including scolding the emperor, saying that you are extremely stupid and so on. , Then he was removed from office and imprisoned, and was not released until the prince died.

"Yuanzhi, I didn't expect you and my master and apprentice to meet again today."

Master Taifu looked at Shen Yu with a very strange look.

After Shen Yu came to the capital, Master Taifu was also reappointed, but he seldom went to court and did not participate in the affairs of the court. He only taught and educated people in the Imperial College. Once, the conversation was very pleasant, and he even encouraged Shen Yu to speak a lot.

"Hello, teacher. I am ashamed of my disciple. I have met my teacher many times, but I dare not recognize each other."

"Yuanzhi, the old man wrote a letter to His Majesty yesterday, persuading His Majesty to believe that the Son of Heaven is wise, and father and son will be reconciled. You did the right thing in many things, but this is not the reason why you should barge into His Majesty's side."

Having said this, Tai Tu's voice lowered.

"Your Majesty has a resolute and decisive character, and there are thousands of personal guards following him. Once you are by his side, and he gives an order, those personal guards will definitely do it no matter what. It will be an unbearable disaster."

Shen Yu nodded, what the Grand Tutor said is correct, most people are hesitant now, even the Son of Heaven has to consider the consequences, but if he leads troops directly to the Son of Heaven today, then the one who killed his brother and forced the Son of Heaven to abdicate Your Majesty, you will definitely bring troops to kill him directly.

And those personal guards will definitely not hesitate.

"You didn't take the opportunity to break into the imperial city, that's even more true."

Taifu said so.

Today the Son of Heaven led a team out to offer sacrifices to the heavens. Logically, if Shen Yu wanted to rebel, attacking the imperial city at this time would be a good opportunity for him to ascend the throne and stand on his own.

"How could I be against my father? Teacher, I have no rebellious heart. I came to see His Majesty today, and I just bid farewell to him."

Shen Yu smiled gently, and walked side by side with Xue Yuhua in front of the Grand Tutor.

"I brought these people with me just to prevent blind bastards from harming me on the road. When I come to see His Majesty today, I can bring only a few people in. The purpose is to bid farewell to my father and ask him to allow me to go out on a boat.

If His Majesty allows, I will stop lecturing within a month, write down the knowledge in my chest as soon as possible and present it to the court, and then leave the capital to find three high-yielding crops for the people of the world. I wonder if it is possible? "

In history, why did Zhou Yafu have to die?Because he is the crown prince!

The old gentleman in front of him gave his whole life's hard work, dedication, and affection to the prince, but was finally destroyed by the emperor with a hammer. When Shen Yu appeared, his only choice was to follow Shen Yu.

The emperor thought that instigating civil servants would cause trouble for Shen Yu, but he didn't expect that Shen Yu was also unwilling to go in.

This is a literary fight, Shen Yu doesn't need a martial fight.

"Your Excellency, since you are bidding farewell to His Majesty, why don't you put down your weapon and go in? I am willing to guarantee with my life and wealth that Your Majesty will not harm you!"

Someone who didn't know friends or foes said, Shen Yu nodded.

"I think the same way. With these people, I'm just afraid that someone will interfere with it, but..."

Shen Yuke said this politely, but his feet were deeply stuck there like nails, and he remained motionless.

Why?Everyone knows why.

If you let me in, you must admit that I am your son, and it must be officially acknowledged and signed.
