Chapter 337 The Shock of Shuo Wang Chaohui

In the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese Dynasty was divided into Early Dynasty and Noon Dynasty. Because it was often held at several important palace gates, it was also called "Yumen Tingzheng".

According to the "History of Ming Dynasty", the early Ming emperors held early dynasties at the Fengtian Gate of the imperial palace; in the seventh year of Yongle, Chengzu visited Beijing, and since then, the early dynasties were often held at the inner side hall of the Youshun Gate of the imperial palace.The afternoon court is mostly held at the Zuoshun gate of the palace.

Now the three main halls have been destroyed and not repaired, so there is no Fengtian Gate, only Qianqing Gate, Zuoshun Gate and Youshun Gate are left.

The Great Dynasty is generally held on Zhengdan, Winter Solstice and Longevity Festival, which is a ceremonial court meeting.

Changchao is divided into Shuowang Dynasty and Richao. Shuowang Dynasty is usually held on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, which is also a ritual court meeting; Richao is a court meeting where the emperor actually handles government affairs.

Since the emperor changed the time and place of the Japanese Dynasty and set the rules of the Seven Heavens and Six Dynasties, he has followed them very well, and he has never failed to go to court.

But today was the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month, which was supposed to be a ceremonial Shuowang Dynasty, but because of the affairs of Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen, it cast a heavy shadow.

The emperor not only set the Japanese dynasty at the gate of Qianqing Palace, but also set the time at the time that had not been changed before.Such a setting may show the emperor's wrath, and he insisted on tossing officials and relatives once.

Therefore, the officials who were accustomed to getting up late and going to court at night had to get up at midnight, pack up and go to the Meridian Gate to gather.At about three o'clock in the morning, the officials arrived outside the Meridian Gate and waited.

Although the weather has gotten warmer, we got up earlier than the chickens, and we had to assemble, line up, and wait for hours.

The sky is still only dim, and it is still a little difficult to see people's faces clearly without the help of lanterns and candles.

I don't know if it's a problem with the light, or it's really dark.Anyway, the British Duke Zhang Weixian seemed to be sullenly poking his face, and when his officials greeted him, they only responded absent-mindedly and perfunctorily.

Not only him, but also few relatives were happy.Almost all of them are in a state of worry and less talk.

Anyone with a heart can guess the reason. Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen was sent to prison and his mansion was sealed, which dealt a huge psychological blow to the imperial family.

"If Zhu Chunchen makes false accusations indiscriminately, we will suffer unjust injustice, and we still hope that the Duke of the State will speak up." Marquis of Linhuai Li Hongji approached Zhang Weixian, cupped his hands, and said in a low voice.

Zhang Weixian smiled wryly, and said: "If he accuses him of slander, he will be unable to protect himself, so how can he speak up for justice?"

Li Hongji's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "Could it be that he is also walking around with the Duke, bewitching and instigating?"

Zhang Weixian snorted, and said displeasedly: "Li Hou said carefully. He came to a certain mansion just to walk around, so how could he stir it up?"

Oh, Li Hongji consciously made a slip of the tongue, heaved a helpless and dejected sigh, shook his head and walked away.

Obviously, these nobles were all scared.Zhu Chunchen did move a lot of people, but he wanted to resist the emperor's move to separate officials from businessmen, and most of them have not agreed.

But the emperor will take care of you?Zhu Chunchen was ordered to go to prison, what kind of place is there, and what kind of confession would he not get?
Although these nobles were dissatisfied with the emperor's reforms, none of them dared to conspire to rebel.They are all rich people, so it's fun to come and kill the whole family and exterminate the three clans?
We all know that the emperor reused the factory guards, he has good eyes and ears, and he has a bit of the legacy of the Taizu.Well, now I can vaguely see the fate of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others.

Saying that you rebelled is rebellion. As long as the emperor sets the tone, people below will find a lot of criminal evidence.For example, astrological abnormalities, such as...
The third drum sounded, and the two doors were opened first, and the officials and army flag schools were put in line first.The generals on duty and the guards holding the flag and the staff filed in, their helmets bright and neatly arranged.

Looking at this normal ceremonial arrangement, the nobles couldn't help feeling chills.If the emperor was determined to take Xungui under the knife, this court meeting would probably be his last.

Zhu Chunchen is really a bastard, it doesn't matter if he wants money or life, why should he drag us into the water?Many nobles secretly gritted their teeth, regretting that when Zhu Chunchen came to visit, he should be beaten with a stick.

Compared with Xungui's cranky and uneasy thoughts, the civil servants are very calm.Waiting at the Meridian Gate, I was used to it before, and this is "waiting for leakage".

The officials talked and discussed in twos and threes, not too serious and indifferent.

The emperor relaxed the etiquette of the court meeting. As a preferential treatment for his close ministers, he also set up a special direct room in the Duanmen for the academicians and the six ministers to wait for the court.

Entrance and Wei are combined, or it is called a big stick carrot, and Zhu Youxiao is becoming more and more handy in using it.

Becoming an "Emperor Party" has a bright future!With this hand alone, vested interest groups can be crushed to death.

The Donglin Party, the Chu Party, and the Zhejiang Party, except for some leaders, do not actually have any exact definitions and boundaries.More officials are just going with the wind, and whichever faction gains power will move closer to whichever faction.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't care whether the officials are firm in character, as long as you listen to the emperor and implement the policies promulgated by the emperor, or the court, then it's OK!

This is also his purpose of building new schools and training new officials.You are not required to be full of knowledge and eloquence, as long as you can read and write, and as long as you execute effectively, you will be a good official.

But Zhu Youxiao is also very clear that no matter how to expand the way to become an official, the imperial examination must not be abolished.This is a big issue related to social stability. Who made so many people wait to be named on this gold list?
Not to mention the officials and relatives who were "waiting to be leaked" at the Meridian Gate, the protagonist of today's court meeting, the emperor Zhu Youxiao, just got up and was changed and washed under Li Chengcheng's attentive service.

Knowing that he had to get up early today, while tossing his officials, Zhu Youxiao also had to work harder.Therefore, he didn't go to sleep in the concubine's palace, but slept in Dongnuange.

Wen Xiang's body was pressed against him, and Li Chengcheng put his arms around the emperor's waist, and fastened his belt.

It's easy to be impulsive in the morning, that's how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Zifu rolled together.Zhu Youxiao also felt it, and reached out to hug Li Chengcheng.

"Your Highness—" Li Chengcheng whispered shyly, and then his mouth was gagged.

After a long while, the emperor let go of the blushing, panting girl, and moved away from her delicate body reluctantly.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly arranged his messy clothes, and his shy look made Zhu Youxiao laugh.

In a good mood, yes, the emperor is very happy.Because of Li Chengcheng's righteous intercession, Fan Xiaohui was retained, which also made Zhu Youxiao feel that he was destined in the dark.

In history, the little carpenter had seven or eight wives, and Fan Xiaohui was one of them, and she was granted the title of imperial concubine because she had a son and a daughter.

It is a pity that Princess Yongning Zhu Shu'e and Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan both died young, and Concubine Fan Hui fell out of favor for the Hakka family.

It is recorded in the history books: After Concubine Fan Hui fell out of favor, because Concubine Li Cheng and Concubine Fan Hui had a good relationship, the little carpenter was doting on Concubine Li Cheng at that time, and Concubine Li Cheng interceded for Concubine Fan Hui when she was sleeping.
So Concubine Fan Hui got another chance to serve her bed.When Wei Zhongxian and Ke Shi knew about this, they were very angry and imprisoned her.

Zhu Youxiao knows that history cannot be trusted, but Li Chengcheng and Fan Xiaohui are good friends, which is also in line with history.

As for Fan Xiaohui's expulsion from the palace, it was only because her ancestors had served as an official. Wang Tiqian would rather be killed by mistake than let her go. If there is any suspicion, she will be expelled from the inner palace.

It's all right now, Zhu Youxiao has collected another daughter-in-law, and she will stay in Qianqing Palace to serve her.There are already six of them, if we make up seven, I can summon...

The smell of fragrant fragrance rushed towards the face, Li Chengcheng put the crown on the emperor, and looked left and right to see if it was correct.

Zhu Youxiao chuckled, stretched out his hand to tease the girl's chin, then straightened his back, with a majestic expression on his face, and walked out.

Wang Tiqian led the palace people to wait outside the palace, Lu Jianxing and several guards were also ready to stop, when the emperor came out, Qi Qishi paid homage to see him.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, walked to the imperial chariot, was served by the palace servants, got into the top ancient "Rolls-Royce", and walked towards Qianqingmen.

Around five in the morning, the Meridian Gate opened and officials began to enter the palace.Civil officials enter through the left Yemen, and military officials enter through the right Yemen. First, they are arranged in order according to their ranks in the south of the Jinshui Bridge.

After the whip was sounded, all the officials crossed the bridge one by one and arrived at Danchi, the gate of Qianqing. The civil officials were the left class and the military officials were the right class.

After entering the palace, the etiquette became strict again.The censor in charge of picketing is on the sidelines to supervise, and anyone who coughs, spits, is crowded or has a bad manner will be recorded and waited to be dealt with.

There is a royal seat in the middle of the upper corridor of Qianqing Gate, which is called "Golden Terrace".

On the left and right of the steps is the band of the Bell and Drum Division, and between the gates of the hall are "Generals of the Han Dynasty", wearing full armor, and guards standing on the left and right of the royal road and behind the civil and military officials holding knives.

In fact, the Shuo Wang Dynasty is not yet called a great court meeting, whether it is the number of participants or the cumbersome etiquette, it is far inferior.

However, during the sensitive period when Zhu Chunchen was imprisoned, the emperor seemed to attach great importance to it, so this court meeting was very different.

At this time, the bell and drum division played music, and the emperor arrived at the imperial gate.

First, guards in brocade clothes supported five umbrellas and four fans, climbed on the Danchi from the east and west sides, and stood on the left and right behind the throne.

Afterwards, there were two envoys, one holding the umbrella cover and standing on the seat, and the other holding the "army equipment", mixed with two leaves, standing in the middle behind the seat.

The emperor ascended to his seat with a serious face, the sound of the whip sounded again, the civil and military classes on the left and right marched into the royal road together, and the princes, son-in-law, and Bo Zi formed a group, sitting in front of the military officer class and leaving a little bit away.

After the ministers paid their respects, the officials of Honglu Temple went out to report to the emperor the number of officials who had entered Beijing to thank them and left Beijing to resign.

If the emperor wanted to be summoned, he would first enter the hall to see him; if the emperor did not see him, he would perform five prostrations and three knocks outside the court or outside the Meridian Gate, and the work was done.

To the surprise of his officials, Zhu Youxiao summoned all the officials who came to Beijing to thank him and leave Beijing to resign.This was a great surprise for officials who did not hold out much hope.

Something abnormal!The already apprehensive Xunqi began to be suspicious again, and even felt that the guard with a knife behind him looked like an executioner.

The court meeting was carried out one by one according to the procedure, and finally entered the most important link (playing things).

But the most important link is that no one is on duty.Originally, the Shuowang Dynasty had the nature of etiquette, but there were many people, but it was no more casual than the Chang Dynasty, where only a few important officials participated.

Zhu Youxiao didn't take it seriously, and turned his eyes to Xun Qi, which was so cold that it was shocking.

"British Lord." Zhu Youxiao pulled out his voice and called out: "Go forward and answer."

The British public Zhang Weixian felt a sudden shock in his heart, he paused for a while before he went out of the class and kowtowed, "My minister is here."

Zhu Youxiao stared at it for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "On the [-]st day, Zhu Chunchen came to your house and had a long secret talk with you. I want to know, what did you say?"

This wording is already a very serious accusation.Secret talks, deception in the dark room, conspiracy and scheming, just this one word can reveal the emperor's suspicion and the seriousness of the crime if he is convicted.

Zhang Weixian hurriedly kowtowed deeply, and opened his mouth to argue: "Long live Qizuo. Zhu Chunchen visited Weichen's mansion, and Weichen entertained him with normal etiquette. There is no secret talk."

After a pause, Zhang Weixian added: "Zhu Chunchen really complained a lot about the policies of the imperial court, and he wanted to invite the humble officials to boycott them, but they were all rejected by the humble officials. The humble officials also advised him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and not to be overwhelmed by a little money. And misleading the overall situation of the country. What I say is the truth, I dare not hide anything, I hope Long Live will find out."

Until now, Zhang Weixian and others don't know what Zhu Chunchen committed.In other words, what crime is the emperor planning to use to punish.

Therefore, they can't talk nonsense, but they have charged themselves with crimes.

For example, if you scold Zhu Chunchen for treason, are you one of them? Why did Zhu Chunchen come to your house? Why didn’t you report it?
Zhu Youxiao was silent, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the throne lightly, and examined Zhang Weixian, as if to check whether what he said was credible.

Zhang Weixian didn't dare to look up, but he could feel the emperor's suspicious eyes.The weather wasn't too hot yet, but the dignified British prince broke out in a cold sweat.

After a long while, the emperor's words echoed in the hall, "The British prince returned to the government for a while to reflect on himself, and what he thought about Zhu Chunchen, he will report it truthfully."

"My minister obeys the order." Zhang Weixian kowtowed again, got up and went back to work.

There is no punishment for the time being, but the emperor's suspicion is still unresolved.Returning to the government for self-examination means residential surveillance, and the final result may depend on Zhu Chunchen's confession in the imperial prison.

"Marquis of Linhuai." Zhu Youxiao glanced at his relatives, and called out again.

"My minister is here." Linhuai Marquis Li Hongji hurried out of the shift and knelt down, waiting quietly for the emperor to speak.

Zhu Youxiao asked in a deep voice: "On a certain day, Zhu Chunchen gathered with you for a drink, and when it came to the imperial court's policy, what did he say about me?"

Li Hongji thought for a while, then kowtowed and said, "Zhu Chunchen was talking nonsense, and my minister reprimanded him at that time. For such greedy and shameless people, my minister failed to report to the Holy One, guilty, guilty!"

Crazy gibberish?Can't this be more specific?
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Hongji, blinked slowly, and felt that this guy was also quite powerful.

Li Hongji's rhetoric seems to have added charges to Zhu Chunchen, and he admitted that he failed to report it in time, but these are trivial and cannot convict him of a major crime.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to build a big prison. Taking advantage of the Shuowang Chaohui, he just wanted to beat and beat these relatives.
