Chapter 132: Planning for Seizing the Gate
What made Hongwu monarchs and ministers even more unexpected was that the cause of death of Zhu Qiyu's biological son, the late prince Zhu Jianji, was found out at this time.

The person who presided over the investigation of this case was of course Yu Qian, whom Zhu Qiyu trusted the most.

"Your Majesty, the prince was poisoned to death!"

"what?!"

Now, even Zhu Qiyu was dumbfounded!

Good guy, he is really stupid to be the emperor!

He can't even protect his own son! ?
"Play it like it is!"

Yu Qian painfully stated:
"I found out that the prince loved to read the storybook "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" during his lifetime. I found this storybook a few days ago.
It was found that the book had been soaked in arsenic, and the prince had a habit of turning the pages of the book with his fingers dipped in saliva every day. "

boom.
"Yu Aiqing, I, I order you to find out the person who poisoned me immediately! I will cut him into pieces with thousands of knives and cut him into pieces!!"

"The minister will!"

Zhu Qiyu was completely defeated!

"Here, is there anyone I can trust around me?!"

But what Yu Qian is worried about is not this issue at all. What he is worried about is that there may be a bigger conspiracy behind this issue!

"I ask your Majesty, please don't vent your anger on innocent people immediately. Otherwise, it will cause chaos in people's hearts and the consequences will be disastrous."

"I don't care, I don't care, I want you to find them out as soon as possible, I am sworn in with them, I, I."

The pain of losing his son made Emperor Jingtai lose his patience and sobriety.

Ugh.
When Hongwu's monarchs and ministers saw this, what else could they say besides sighing? !

The change of throne after 90 years is a foreshadowing and a historical necessity.

"Hmph! I can only say that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If the fourth child sees this and still wants to replace it,
Then he is out and out, unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust.

No matter how much gold he puts on his face, it will not help!

Look at the good things his descendants have done! "

Zhu Yuanzhang thought so in his heart, and the expression on his face was very ugly.

My Ming Dynasty has been extremely harmed by these unscrupulous descendants!
The dignified prince was actually poisoned to death. This is truly unheard of and unseen!

When Yu Qian considered the real purpose behind this and begged Zhu Qiyu to reinstate Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince, he received firm opposition from Zhu Qiyu.

"No! Don't mention this again!"

Zhu Qiyu was too sick to sit up, but he still insisted on his opinion.

Good guy, if the emperor's son is restored as the crown prince, what does his eight years mean to him? !

Whether it is the Supreme Emperor or his son who returns to the throne, the fate of the acting emperor who becomes a full emperor will be the same.

He knows better than anyone what he did to his emperor brother.

"Oh, this Emperor Jingtai is real."

Xu Da didn't even know how to complain about him.

"Is it because he was not in the right position?"

Li Jinglong couldn't understand the plot at all.

"What is wrong with his position? He was forced to take the throne in the first place."

Xu Huizu explained
"Special circumstances apply special methods. He should return the throne to his brother immediately after the victory in the defense of Beijing."

Li Jinglong said.

"Have you forgotten how you scolded his brother?"

Xu Huizu immediately refuted him.

"Does anyone think that if the defense of Beijing is successful, it would be right for him to return the throne to Zhu Qizhen?"

Tie Hyun asked
"Come on, after eating shark's fin and bird's nest, you won't be happy if I let you eat chaffy vegetables again." "Yeah, if I really gave back the throne, what would be the outcome?!" Xia Yuanji also felt like this Assumptions.

"His son won't die anyway, it's true." Tie Xuan returned.

"Wrong! I thought that his son would not die from poisoning. As for how and when he will die, it is not up to him."

"Well, that's true. Judging from how useless Zhu Qizhen is, even if he doesn't have the intention of killing his younger brother.

, and it cannot stop the people around him from instigating him for their own interests. "

Everyone knows how to make things better with hindsight, but when things come to a head, how many of them can stay awake and escape unscathed? !

While Zhu Qiyu was still supporting his sick body and fighting against the imperial court, eunuch Cao Jixiang, Wuqing Marquis Shi Heng and others had reached an agreement with Zhu Qizhen of Nangong.

On the surface, the Ming Dynasty was peaceful, but there was a surging undercurrent. Emperor Jingtai did not realize that if he did not establish a platform as soon as possible, it would be a disaster for him.

Because Nangong had already started to take action under the rhetoric of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and others.

A city gate key related to the security of the entire imperial city was placed in the hands of Shi Heng, who had made great contributions in the defense of Beijing.

It seemed to be a natural thing, because Shi Heng was in charge of the defense of the capital and the gates of the inner city at this time.

But why did Shi Heng rebel?
Because of Zhu Qizhen's golden sword, Emperor Jingtai always beat him.

Making him walk on thin ice every day.

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will only take root and sprout, and they will never act like nothing happened.

In addition, Yu Qian's implementation of new laws touched the vested interests of these heroes. The most obvious one is the Ming Dynasty's reward system.

In addition to titles, the emperor would also grant land, and Yu Qian's reforms were aimed at those nobles who enclosed land that were not in line with the reality.

In this way, the contradiction is irreconcilable, and Yu Qian is a hard nut who only cares about the country and will not accept any soft or hard words.

The implementation of new laws and rectification of officialdom offended more and more people. In the end, even his teacher Wang Zhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was not spared.
If the water is pure, there will be no fish; if the human nature is pure, there will be no disciples.

Every era needs honest and upright officials, but if you want to achieve great things, you only think that success can only be considered as like his descendant Zhang Juzheng.

The world is not black and white.This is especially true for being an official.

Yu Qian's selflessness not only caused him to stand on the opposite side of most people, but also forced Zhu Qiyu, who supported him, to stand on the opposite side of most people.

As for the incident of abolishing the crown prince, although Yu Qian could not stand alone, he persisted until the last moment.
In the end, he was forced by Emperor Jingtai's power to sign his name on the petition. This behavior caused him to break his promise in front of the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel retired and returned to his hometown to say goodbye to Yu Qian, Yang Tian sighed:
"Oh my God, do you really want to leave such an upright person alone?!"

A sigh roared out the loneliness of many honest and upright scholar-bureaucrats.

Looking at several major reforms in history, the bigger reason is not that the new laws were unsuitable for the social environment at that time.
It should be that the support from the imperial power is not strong enough.

His Majesty the Emperor is not determined enough.

Zhu Qiyu was determined enough, but his son was still plotted by his subordinates and died young, and he himself became seriously ill at a young age.

If we talk about conspiracy, is there anything more terrifying than this conspiracy?
The truth of history is never the truth. It is recorded "truthfully" by those in power later based on their own needs.

Fang Xiaoru is a living example.

It was late at night on the [-]th of the first lunar month. Zhu Qizhen tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night, lying on the bed, waiting to stare at the dark roof above his head!

He hated this room because he had been imprisoned here for eight years!

Shi Heng and others had already told him the entire plan.

And the dragon robe has been sewn!
