Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 748
Although the warm sun in early spring is not as hot as summer, it is still uncomfortable after all, especially the father and son of Zhennan Wang, one is fat and round, the other is thin and weak, wrapped in heavy court clothes and knelt outside the Meridian Gate for more than an hour , already pale, sweating profusely, and his body was shaking slightly, as if he might fall to the ground at any moment, watching the several servants guarding the side trembling with fear.

After being driven away, the officials in the distance scattered a lot. However, as the news spread, new officials kept coming to the square, and they couldn't be chased away.

After Huai En passed the emperor's oral order to Zhennan Wang and his son, Hu Wei also withdrew from the palace soon, and a group of important officials surrounded him to ask questions, but saw the great uncle sighed deeply, and then lightly Shaking his head lightly, without saying anything, he got into the sedan chair and went back to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, which immediately made all the important officials a little puzzled.

He moved forward and wanted to see him, but was blocked by Wynn. So, in desperation, these ministers could only leave two Lang officials to watch, and then went back to the yamen to wait for the news.

Minutes passed by...

On the tall city tower, in a corner that no one can see, Zhu Qiyu is wearing a sapphire blue tuanlong robe, looking at the situation below from a distance, watching the fat body of King Zhennan crumbling below, Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered, and his head flickered. Did not ask back.

"What time is it?"

So Wynn, who was standing on the sidelines, answered hurriedly.

"Going back to the emperor, there is still about a stick of incense, and it should be three quarters in the afternoon."

While speaking, Huai En seemed to know what Zhu Qiyu was worried about, and looked at Zhennan King below, and said again.

"Don't worry, my lord, Eunuch Shu has just passed the news that before going out, King Zhennan ordered the people in the mansion to stew ginseng soup, and he and the eldest son had a good breakfast before going outside."

Mentioning this, Wynn felt speechless for a while.

As expected, he still had too little knowledge. When he just went out to preach, he kindly advised the fat Zhennan King to pay attention to his health, but he was already prepared.

After saying this, Zhu Qiyu's expression relaxed slightly, but it was only for a moment, then he put it away, hummed softly, and said.

"He can check this kind of thing quickly, but he can't find out what should be checked!"

This is not easy to answer, so Wynn can only keep silent. Fortunately, as soon as the emperor's voice fell, a servant came to report and said.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Shu is asking to see you!"

"Call him over!"

Wynn hurried down to call for someone, and after a while, Shu Liang, who was busy in the world, came up to him and bowed.

"Greetings to the emperor."

"Get up, what's going on outside?"

To be honest, what happened today was beyond Zhu Qiyu's expectation, but out of his trust in King Zhennan, Zhu Qiyu followed suit and waited and watched the changes. It's a little late.

"Returning to the emperor, it has already spread outside, and there are all kinds of sayings. The censors praised Zhennan Wang's move quite a bit, and felt that he knew his mistakes and could correct them, which is the style of the clan. However, there are also many ministers I feel that King Zhennan is calling for his own injustice in a disguised form, and wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the crime."

Of course Shu Liang could tell that the Son of Heaven was not in a good mood, so, without the slightest sloppiness, he simply spoke and quickly got to the point.

"However, these are all private discussions. For the time being, there are no ministers to speak up. Besides, the servants arranged for the manpower outside the Zhennan Palace. They just saw the son of Xiangling King go to worship the Min King, and they were blocked. Outside the door, after the elder son asked the reason, he was very angry, and even if he went to Zongxue, now, all the clan disciples in Zongxue may have started to make trouble."

"The son of Prince Xiangling?"

The image of a burly young man suddenly appeared in Zhu Qiyu's mind.

At the beginning of Zongxue, the sons of feudal princes and princes of the county were all candidates for admission, so naturally a large number of young people gathered.

Zhu Fanzhi, the son of King Xiangling, is one of them. He is the grandson of Zhu Song, the No. 20 son of the Taizu. In terms of seniority, he is also older than Zhu Qiyu. Big, also just turned twenty.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu was so impressed with him was because he had a very good relationship with Zhu Yinyuan. When Zhu Yinyuan got married, he was the bridesmaid.

In addition, Zhu Fanzhi's biggest characteristic is his impulsiveness. Unlike ordinary clan children who like to flirt with flowers and love rhythm and poetry, Zhu Fanzhi likes to practice martial arts!

Although he is not very old, he is full of tendons, and his favorite thing to do is to compete with his own guards. That is to say, the number of guards around him is smaller than that of ordinary princes, and he himself is careless. Otherwise, he would have been impeached for hiding his dissent.

Hearing this name, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help frowning and asked.

"If I remember correctly, he has a very good relationship with the Prince of Zhennan. Why, didn't he go to offer his condolences on the day when the Great Uncle passed away?"

Since Shu Liang came here, he was naturally prepared for what the emperor would ask, and immediately replied after hearing this.

"Go back to the emperor, I'm gone. On the day that Lord Min passed away, Prince Xiangling went to the Mansion of Min to express his condolences. At that time, the prince of Zhennan welcomed him in person. Moreover, the prince of Xiangling wanted to stay and help. However, it was declined by Zhennan King."

While speaking, Shu Liang's expression was rather strange, said.

"It is said that the original words of King Zhennan at that time were that the studies of Zongxue were tight, and he was afraid that the studies of Prince Xiangling's son would be delayed and he would be scolded again..."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's expression changed, and his eyes fell on the fat prince who was still "shaky" underneath, as if thinking of something, he said leisurely.

"So, Prince Xiangling's life is not going well in Zongxue?"

Shu Liang hesitated, as if he was thinking about what to say, and spoke after a while.

"It can't be said that it is bad, but, as you know, the emperor, the lecturers on Zongxue are all great Confucianists from the Imperial Academy. They do not practice martial arts, and they read the classics of sages. But this prince of Xiangling, who is studying Along the way, he is really... not very talented, it is said that his homework is often completed by the prince of Zhennan for him."

"If that's the case, that's all. Apart from the fact that this son likes to sleep in class, and likes to compete with others after class, there is nothing wrong with him. Not only is he very respectful to the gentlemen, but he is also very generous with other disciples. After the fight, their guards will pay a large amount of soup and medicine, and from time to time, they will stand up for the bullied collateral children in the Zongxue. Therefore, although he is not good at school, the gentlemen of the Zongxue generally keep their eyes open. Just close one eye."

"But unfortunately, this prince is a good-looking person. In the sect, Prince Xiang is very strict. There are small exams every ten days and big exams every month. The prince of Xiangling always ranks at the bottom every time. After returning to the exam, he will find all kinds of excuses to take two days off, hiding in the house and refusing to meet people."

"After a long time, Prince Xiang no longer allowed him to take leave, and even checked his homework personally from time to time. For this matter, Prince Xiangling received a lot of scolding..."

That's it!

This is a long-standing grudge...

Although it is said that Zhu Qiyu didn't have much contact with this prince of Xiangling, but based on Shu Liang's description and the few times he had met before, he had already given a preliminary impression of this young man.

Young and energetic, loyal, generous, and many friends. Although his academic performance is not good, he has a strong sense of justice and fists. Among young people, he is definitely the most appealing existence.

Moreover, the relationship with Zhu Yinyu is good, but the relationship with King Xiang is not good. Most importantly, he seems to be a little impulsive.

Isn't such a person the best gun if he is so excited a little bit?
Taking another look at King Zhennan below, Zhu Qiyu asked thoughtfully.

"Where did he go when he came out of Prince Min's Mansion?"

Shu Liang said: "Go back to the emperor, after the Shizi left the Min Palace, he didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to the Tenth Palace where the Prince Xiang lived!"

…………

"Zhu Zhanqian, you have the guts to make trouble, why don't you have the guts to come out and meet people?"

"You are the only one who deserves to be part of the Zhu family? Pooh!"

"Didn't your uncle beat you twice when he was alive? You deserved it yourself, and you still dare to hold grudges. Your brain is soaked in water, right?"

"Running to the uncle's funeral to make trouble, dare the villain to sue first, come out, don't you usually show off your power?"

"To tell you the truth, young master, I have tolerated you for a long time. I think my uncle and uncle Wang beat you too lightly. Today, young master must teach you how to respect your elders!"

"Come out and get beaten!"

Outside the majestic Ten Princes' Mansion, a sturdy young man held a long stick in his hand, with one hand on his hip, and cursed at the mansion.

Behind him, there were several guards who looked like guards. Every time the young man cursed, the guards would tremble.

Looking outside, there are a lot of young people in fancy clothes following the young man. Although they are different in age, they are all very expensive, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.

Different from those timid guards, these young people simply watched the excitement without taking it too seriously. They all smiled and watched Zhu Fanzhi swear, while booing along with him.

"The boss is mighty, well scolded!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Master Zongren, Prince Xiang, why are you so cowardly? You dare not come out of the door?"

"That's right, this kind of bastard who dared to make trouble in front of the deceased elder's soul is not worthy of being part of the Zhu family, and why don't you get out and get beaten!"

It should be said that this timing is very coincidental, King Min passed away, King Xiang was recuperating in the mansion, the Ministry of Rites was busy with the imperial examination recently, and the Imperial Academy was busy with the selection of halls.

Therefore, there is no one in charge of Zongxuetang.

This group of clan children, all of them are noble lords, there are a lot of people in them, who will inherit the throne of the county king or prince in the future, and all of them are in the fief, and they are all lords who walk sideways.

As a result, they were all summoned to the capital to study and study rituals by the emperor's will, and they had to take exams.

That alone is fine, but a King Xiang came from above and made various regulations. Although these regulations are nothing in ordinary academies, for these pampered and unscrupulous clan children, they are It seems a little harsh.

On weekdays, they are limited by authority and dare not speak out.

Today, I finally got an excuse, and there is someone leading the way, so isn't that a good scolding?Even if there are some timid ones, they will always dare to follow behind.

Everyone is surnamed Zhu, can the emperor deal with them all?
Outside the ten princes' mansion, when such a thing happened, it naturally aroused the onlookers quickly. However, the strange thing is that although they surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, most of them were ordinary people, but there was no censor who patrolled the city for a long time. And the people from Wucheng Bingma Division rushed over.

"What? These bastards, how dare you be so slack?"

In the tenth king's mansion, King Xiang almost jumped up out of breath when he heard the angry scolding outside, but when he moved his body, his arm hurt again, which made him gasp.

The two sticks of King Zhennan didn't give him face at all, they beat him for real. After returning to the mansion, the doctor diagnosed it and said it was a bone fracture. It didn't take a year or a half. Impossible to return to the original state.

Originally, King Xiang was aggrieved enough to suffer such a heavy beating, but now, the door was blocked by someone again, and he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were ascended to heaven.

Seeing his lord's furious appearance, the housekeeper of the Tenth Prince's Mansion was also helpless, so he bit the bullet and said.

"My lord, the people who just went to Shuntian Mansion came back and said that there was a big case in the outskirts of the city today. They said that there was a group of gangsters. People went to arrest the robbers, so..."

"Bullshit!"

With a bang, the teacup on the table was smashed to pieces, and King Xiang's furious voice sounded again.

"The most important place in the capital, at the foot of the emperor, where are some gangsters, or a gang? Such absurd reasons dare to send me away. Is it a fool to treat me as my king?"

The butler lowered his head, not daring to speak, the entire flower hall only echoed King Xiang's angry voice.

It has to be said that King Xiang is really not stupid.

Because at this moment, in the back office of Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Fu Yin looked at Dongchang Tiqi wearing fast boots and black clothes and a small pointed hat with a bitter expression on his face.

"Elder-in-law, are you sure you really don't want to send anyone to the Ten Princes' Mansion? What if..."

"Your Majesty Fu Yin is just joking. Whether or not to send someone, and when to send someone, is it up to you?"

"Our family just passed on a sentence for the factory owner. Besides, the factory owner also said it. It's just a reminder. It's just a suggestion to you to go to the party. Whether you listen or not, it depends on what you mean?"

Ah this...

After being pushed back, the governor had no choice but to continue to put on a bitter face, praying that his term of office would end soon, and what happened every day was such a mess!
The people from Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng Bingmasi were late to arrive, but more and more people gathered outside the ten princes' mansion. They were originally ordinary people and clan children. As the news spread more and more, some censors The officials, as well as the servants from various mansions, also gathered together.

This scene was even more lively than outside the Meridian Gate.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more troublesome, the gate of Ten Princes' Mansion was suddenly pushed open, and then, a group of servants with short sticks poured out from the mansion gate, rushing towards the clan children below.

"Damn things!"

"You dare!"

"beat!"

These servants obviously got an order to drive them away, but these clan children are not easy to provoke. Seeing the opponent rushing over, they subconsciously feel that the opponent is going to fight. moved his hands.

So, in front of the ten palaces, a group of clan children and the guards they brought, and the people who came out of the original ten palaces, suddenly fought together, and the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic...
