I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 160 The Majesty of the Crown Prince!Right on target!

Upon hearing the order, Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward and grabbed Huang Zicheng.

This change happened so quickly that all the civil and military officials present were shocked.

Today I was ordered to come out to welcome the crown prince on his triumphant return to the court.

Everyone thought it was just a formality.

The New Army has made such a great contribution, so a heavy reward is inevitable.

Lao Zhu is very picky about officials, and the salaries set for them are the lowest in history.

However, rewards to Ming soldiers who have made military exploits have never been stingy.

Otherwise, how can we let the soldiers fight desperately on the front line?

The civil servants still think about the words of the sages, and they must stick to their personal ideas and beliefs.

The chief soldier doesn't care about that.

In this era, there is not as extensive and in-depth patriotic education as later generations.

The big-headed soldiers who are illiterate only want to cut off people's heads, achieve military success, and seek glory and wealth.

If you win a battle, the court should reward you with more money.

In the past, every time after a war, when meritorious deeds were discussed and rewards were given, the Minister of Household Affairs would have a huge headache.

Because the money needed is too great.

But this time is different.

The new army only has 500 people.

Everyone is rewarded heavily, and the overall expenditure is not too large.

As for Zhu Yunzhen, as the commander of the New Army, he was responsible for managing the New Army. His contribution is so great that it goes without saying.

It's just that he is the crown prince, and the whole world will belong to him in the future.

It doesn't matter if it's rewarded or not.

The only thing worthy of attention is that his position as crown prince will never be shaken again.

But no one expected that as soon as Zhu Yunxi came back, he ordered Huang Zicheng to be taken down.

It should be noted that Huang Zicheng was not only the minister of Dali Temple, but also had an extraordinary status.

Moreover, he vaguely seemed to have become the head of the civil servants of the imperial court.

Among the ruling and opposition parties, his prestige is extremely high, and many officials only follow his lead.

Although the conflict between His Highness Taisun and Huang Zicheng has been keenly noticed by those who are interested.

But the two sides did not break up after all.

In the eyes of many people, with the stability of the position of grandson of Zhu Yunxuan, the conflict between the two will gradually ease until it disappears invisible.

After all, their conflict stemmed from the fact that Zhu Yunxi was not the eldest grandson of the emperor, and Huang Zicheng did not want to embrace him as the heir apparent.

Now everything has settled.

Zhu Yunxi led the new army to make great achievements, and the position of the crown prince was completely stabilized.

Huang Zicheng can no longer be entangled.

The conflict between the two naturally no longer exists.

His Highness Taisun will have to rely on civilian officials to govern the country in the future. It must be a dream to be able to turn conflicts into friendship.

Not only officials think so, but even Huang Zicheng himself thinks so.

Today it is today.

He finally accepted his fate.

He admitted that he was indeed no match for Zhu Yunxi.

Acknowledging that the other party's ability is far beyond his expectations.

Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only accept him as the crown prince.

In the prince's mansion before, Zhu Yunxi was only the son of the prince, not the prince, separated by a floor.

Therefore, the teacher arranged is worse than that of the prince.

Now that he has become the crown prince, His Majesty has never arranged a teacher for him.

If possible, I might be able to get this job.

After all, among the civil servants, Huang Zicheng considered himself to be extremely knowledgeable and had a very high reputation.

Although Zhu Yunxuan was "stubborn" and what he did was shocking and independent, which was inconsistent with Confucian etiquette and law, his talent and ability were far beyond those of the world.

Teaching such a disciple made the hearts of countless civil servants in the court tremble.

Huang Zicheng also had such a big dream in spring and autumn.

Thinking that Zhu Yunxi had already offended the general Xungui, he would never offend himself again.

Resolving past grudges is easy.

But he never expected that the other party would take him down as soon as he came back?

"Your Highness Taisun, what crime did this officer commit to be taken down?" Huang Zicheng asked loudly after being caught.

He asked himself that he would not be found out about writing a letter to Xu Dongjiang, the magistrate of Jiaxing.

As long as Xu Dongjiang is not stupid, he will definitely destroy the letter after reading it.

What's more, this time when Zhu Yunxi returned triumphantly, he also brought Xu Dongjiang with him, but he didn't lock him up, so nothing happened.

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly, and was about to speak when the civil and military officials below were like frying pans.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Huang is the Minister of Dali Temple, an important minister in the court, and has a very high reputation among scholars. I don't know what he has committed? Please tell His Highness Grandson clearly!"

"If Mr. Huang really committed a criminal crime, he should be taken down. But the crime is not clear, I'm afraid people in the world will not accept it."

"Your Highness, Mr. Huang is guilty. He can wait until he returns to the court to report to Your Majesty and hand it over to the ministers for public discussion and trial. Why rush to take it down at this time?"

"Today's victory and return to the court is a great joy. I'm afraid it's not good to take someone at this time."

"That's right! What crime did Mr. Huang commit? Why is His Highness Taisun so impatient that he wants to arrest someone as soon as they meet?"

……

All the officials opened their mouths one after another, questioning the prince and asking about Huang Zicheng's crime, all of them thought it was inappropriate to take someone at this time.

Zhu Yunzhen's face gradually sank.

If Lao Zhu was replaced and Huang Zicheng was ordered to be taken down, would an official dare to question him, asking what was the matter?
will not have!
Because no one dares!

Even if you want to ask, you have to wait until after the fact.

Questioning on the spot, this is undoubtedly provoking imperial power.

They still don't take this prince in their eyes!
At this time, Zhu Yunqi also knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, I am well aware of Master Huang's behavior, and I am willing to protect him."

"If he really committed any crime, His Royal Highness may as well speak out and make it public."

"If there is no major crime, today is another happy day for returning home in triumph. I hope His Royal Highness will take my elder brother's shame into consideration and let him go for now."

"If His Highness the Grand Sun decides what to do with him in the future, I will definitely tie him up and give him to His Highness the Grand Sun."

What he said sounded polite on the surface, but in his heart he had sinister intentions.

Since the Western Han Dynasty proposed using "filial piety" to govern the world, filial piety has become the core of feudal ethics.

Many of the stories in 24 filial piety are very brain-dead in the eyes of later generations.

For example, those who eat their parents' feces, those who bury their own sons, those who actively feed mosquitoes...

In order to show filial piety, he did not hesitate to harm his own body and tortured his own flesh and blood.

Such perverted behavior is regarded as a standard.

In such a social environment, anyone who shows any unfilial behavior will be called a wicked person by thousands of people.

But filial piety to parents and respect to elder brothers are connected together.

Although Zhu Yunwen was the crown prince, Zhu Yunwen was his elder brother.

Zhu Yunzhen begged for mercy like this. If Zhu Yunzhen did not agree, it would be disrespectful to his brother.

If he agrees, the majesty of his grandson will definitely be swept away.

Now that the other party has made a move, Zhu Yunzhen must also respond. He quickly changed his face and said with a smile: "Brother, why do you need to do this?"

"Come here, quickly help up brother!"

Several Jinyi guards stepped forward and directly pulled Zhu Yunwen up.

Zhu Yunxuan turned his eyes to Huang Zicheng, immediately changed his face, snorted coldly, and said: "You dare to bewitch His Highness Prince Heng, and you will be punished with an additional penalty."

"Put him in Jinyiwei Prison and interrogate him severely."

Zhu Yunxuan's complexion changed drastically. He wanted to rush out and knelt down to plead for mercy, threatening Zhu Yunxuan, but was held down tightly by several Jin Yiwei.

The other officials were still waiting to intercede and question, but they heard Zhu Yunxi's voice faintly.

"You want to ask Gu, what did Huang Zicheng do? What if Gu just doesn't say anything?"

His voice was cold and murderous.

All the civil and military officials present felt a chill in their bodies.

Of course, Zhu Yunxi can ask Xu Dongjiang to testify against him, or he can show the secret letter and publicly announce the evidence.

But if he did that, his majesty as the crown prince would really not be able to stand up.

If a minister is locked up, he will be forced to release the evidence in public. Once this example is opened, no matter what he decides in the court in the future, the officials will question him, and he has to explain it clearly to the officials so that they are satisfied.

Where is the majesty of the prince?

How does he manage the country?
Of course Zhu Yunxi will not announce it.

"Do you think that Gu is a willful and unbearable person, so you question Gu's decision? Or do you think that you are the master of the Ming Dynasty, and Gu, the crown prince, also has to report the situation to you and obey your orders? "

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials at the scene fell silent, kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak out.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng had always been on good terms, but now they felt extremely nervous.

He had a guess in his mind that Taisun would never take someone for no reason.

I'm afraid that because of Huang Zicheng's letter to Xu Dongjiang, Dong Chuang's incident has been revealed.

"When Gu left the city that day, it was here that Cao Guogong Li Jinglong openly blocked the march of the army. He questioned Gu's new army and was unable to fight, so Gu beheaded him in public."

"Okay, I didn't expect Gu to return to the city today, and the civil and military courts are all here to question Gu's decision again."

"Gu has to wonder if someone in the court is secretly forming a party for personal gain, and they are here for the crown prince."

"In Huang Zicheng's case, I really want to investigate and see who is behind it!"

Huang Zicheng is just a representative, a figure who comes to the forefront.

If he wanted to innovate politics and lead Ming Dynasty into a new era, what he needed to fight was the entire feudal ethics.

Lao Zhu can use Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others as cards to attack the Huaixi Xingong Group behind them.

He could also use the name of investigating Huang Zicheng's case to wipe out all those who opposed him.

The performance of these people today was exactly what he wanted.

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he stopped looking at the officials kneeling on the ground, and ordered Jin Yiwei: "Show the Huang Zicheng cannon to the public, and follow behind the lonely car, so that the people in the capital can take a good look."

Then he returned to the carriage carriage.

"Enter the city!"
