Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 25: Relatives from the maternal clan
"You dog slaves, let me go!!"

Concubine Zheng's eyes widened angrily, she glared at Wei Zhongxian and the others and scolded them, she was extremely emotional, "Are you all dead?!"

It's just that the group of eunuchs, female officials, eunuchs, and maids kneeling behind them didn't dare to move rashly, and many of them trembled.

During the cleaning of the inner court, it seemed that only the family of Wang An was eliminated, but in fact, when Jin Yiwei withdrew from the Forbidden City, the new team of eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian received a secret order to arrest all of Concubine Zheng's family and take them to Renshou Palace.

At present, Renshou Palace is in the stage of closure.

The eunuchs and eunuchs outside are all carefully selected by Wei Zhongxian and the others. If there is any change in Renshou Palace, they will escort them immediately.

"Concubine Zheng is still very powerful. No wonder she is so favored by the emperor's grandfather."

Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and laughed lightly, "In one sentence, what I said turned into a fact of slandering the emperor's grandfather's widow. If this spreads out of the palace, what kind of rumors will it cause?"

Concubine Zheng's face changed slightly.

"The water leak in the Luan Palace happened right after I took the throne as the emperor, and it attracted many people to accuse me of lack of filial piety."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "Since the dispute between the country and the country started, over the years, as long as it is involved in the affairs of the inner court, no matter how big or small, the civil servants of the outer dynasty are like wolves bumping into sheep, biting fiercely one by one. As time went on, the fashion of the national trend gradually collapsed.

I sometimes wonder, what are they doing for?
Are you loyal and patriotic?
Do you support the country?
Maybe there are, but there are very few people who are dedicated to this. Like Yang Lian of the Donglin Party, he is a relatively pure person and a good admonisher.

It's a pity that most of the Donglin Party he belongs to is not as pure as Yang Lian, otherwise, when the emperor's grandfather passed away, and the emperor's exam is the eve of the emperor's throne, he would not be there.

When Huang Kao passed away, I was on the eve of becoming the emperor, and he would not be there.

Everyone in the world is prosperous, so what is the purpose of being an official?Don’t you just want to gain real power?
Power is really obsessive and nostalgic.

It's no wonder, otherwise why did Concubine Zheng deliberately want my good uncle Zhu Changxun to become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty? "

"I don't understand what the emperor is saying."

Concubine Zheng stared straight at Zhu Youxiao, and said indifferently.

"It doesn't matter if Concubine Zheng doesn't understand."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe, faced Concubine Zheng's gaze, and said with an arrogant expression: "Concubine Zheng only needs to know that the lineage of King Fu who controls Luoyang will be sent to Beijing in the near future. The imperial grandfather Long Yu Bintian , Prince Fu was the most favored heir of the imperial grandfather during his lifetime. Even though I have ascended the throne, how can I not let Prince Fu carry his son with him to fulfill his filial piety?"

"No! You can't do this!"

Concubine Zheng panicked completely, looked at Zhu Youxiao in horror, and struggled emotionally, "King Fu is a vassal, so he can't leave the vassal land without permission!!!"

"Let's go."

Zhu Youxiao ignored Zheng Guifei's roar, turned around and looked at Zhu Youjian, and said calmly.

"Chen~"

At this moment, Zhu Youjian tried hard to stand up and salute, but his legs didn't obey him at all. What he saw just now had a great impact on Zhu Youjian.

It turned out to be regicide?
This idea kept repeating in Zhu Youjian's mind.

Seeing Zhu Youjian like this, Zhu Youxiao was not angry. He stepped forward, pulled Zhu Youjian and walked out of Renshou Palace, without even looking at Li Xuanshi.

"Come back!! You stupid king!!!"

"Fu Wang cannot enter Beijing!!"

"It's Ben Gong, it's Ben Gong who made it..."

Concubine Zheng's voice kept coming from Renshou Palace, but Zhu Youxiao ignored it. Who was the culprit in the Hongwan case? Does it matter now?
unimportant!
Nowadays, the group of civil servants in the foreign court has already set their sights on this political incident. The Daxing Emperor Zhu Changluo has passed away, and a new dynasty has been formed. Is the truth really that important when it comes to matters involving power?
"Brother Emperor, are all the things you said true?"

Following Zhu Youxiao to Long Yu's place, Zhu Youjian raised his head, his eyes were too dazed, "Huang Kao was really caught by Zheng..."

For Zhu Youjian's current age, it is undoubtedly too cruel to know some so-called truths. Even if he was born in Tian's family, no matter how precocious he is, he is still only an 11-year-old child.

"Imperial brother, are these important questions you asked?"

Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and asked back.

Isn't it important?

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this.

"From tomorrow on, the emperor's younger brother will come to Qianqing Palace to exercise and study with me."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Youjian's shoulder, and said seriously: "Brother, you have to remember one thing, what people see with their eyes and hear with their ears is not necessarily true. What is the truth of something? , You can’t just look at it from one side, you have to know how to think about it in many ways.”

If you want to change a person's personality, you can't change it unless you let it experience major setbacks or changes.

Zhu Youxiao just wanted to change Zhu Youjian so that he could become a part of consolidating the imperial power. In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, the imperial power should not be consolidated by the eunuchs of the inner court alone. The prince of the clan!
The Ming Dynasty is a unified feudal dynasty with a vast territory. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when he encounters a problem and wants to find the best solution, he must have enough candidates. Which group is suitable to be dealt with, which group should be sent there. , rather than being unselective!
"My lord~"

With his head down, Wei Zhongxian rushed from Renshou Palace to Long Yu's place, and bowed respectfully to Zhu Youxiao.

"Wei Banban, all those confidantes that the Zheng family relied on are all executed in Renshou Palace, and the rest are temporarily imprisoned in Renshou Palace."

Zhu Youxiao did not look at Wei Zhongxian and walked towards Long Chu, "I want Mrs. Zheng to live well and let her see the son she misses so much. The eunuchs from the twelve eunuchs, four divisions and eight bureaus of the inner court will all go to Renshou Palace to watch the execution. , In addition...everything that happened in Renshou Palace, these words I said, if anyone dares to spread the word outside the palace, you, the eunuch Bingbi, the chief of etiquette, just take care of it yourself."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian grabbed the ground with his head and knelt on the ground, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

"By the way, my imperial sister, let Li Xuan take care of her."

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion and gently rubbed his swollen temples, "Since the Luan Palace has run out of water, Li Xuanshi should find another place to live."

"Slaves understand!"

Wei Zhongxian worshiped again.

Don't look at Zhu Youxiao talking about the two servants of Li Xuan, but Wei Zhongxian understands what it means. The former is Dong Li and the latter is Xi Li.

In the inner court, if you cannot figure this out, you are not worthy of being a eunuch.

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian felt ripples in his heart. He was confused...

The inner court is so cruel, far more cruel than the outer court, but when it comes to power struggles, especially those involved in royal secrets, no matter who it is, as long as they don't win the fight, there will only be one end!
Night came quietly.

The area around the Qianqing Palace was quiet.

Zhu Youxiao sat cross-legged on the Arhat's bed, busy at his desk, it seemed that what happened in Renshou Palace didn't affect him too much.

But this turmoil had a great impact on the inner court!
"My lord, Uncle Wang Guo is here."

With his head down, Wei Zhongxian walked into the East Nuan Pavilion, bowed to the emperor, and subconsciously sniffed the newly changed robes, for fear that the emperor would smell the unclean smell.

"Xuan."

Zhu Youxiao didn't notice this and spoke concisely and concisely.

"Chen... Wang Sheng pays homage to His Majesty."

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked up to the emperor, raised his robe and knelt down to Zhu Youxiao.

"Uncle Guo doesn't need to be so polite."

After Zhu Youxiao saw this, he got up from the Luohan bed and reached out to help Wang Sheng, who was excited. Wei Zhongxian, who was nearby, saw this and rushed to help Wang Sheng first.

"How is Uncle Guo recently?"

Looking at Wang Sheng with slightly red eyes, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Since I became the emperor, I have been busy with government affairs, so I didn't summon my uncle. It's my fault."

"Chen~"

Wang Sheng choked up a little, thinking of his miserable sister, Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, Mrs. Wang.

"sit down."

Seeing Wang Sheng like this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "I called Uncle Guo into the palace tonight. I want to discuss something with Uncle Guo. I wonder if Uncle Guo is willing to share my worries?"

"I would like to die for His Majesty!"

Wang Sheng immediately fell to his knees and expressed his attitude to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao had high hopes for this ordinary blood-related uncle in front of him. It didn't depend on Wang Sheng's ability, but the key was that he would not betray.

No ability can be cultivated.

All nonsense without loyalty.

Faced with the current complicated situation in the DPRK, the Hongwan case has become a hot topic, especially since Hong Chengchou will be appointed minister, which has caused quite a stir in the DPRK.

If Zhu Youxiao wants to take the initiative, he must know how to fight fast and slow, seize the fleeting opportunity, and cannot let some officials from the outer court seek power, otherwise the situation will get out of control.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao felt that asking Wang Sheng to do something might have an unexpected effect. Sometimes the relatives of the mother's family can play a role that cannot be replaced by ordinary groups!
