Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 750
In front of the ten princes' mansion, Shu Liang covered his sleeves with both hands, and looked at the opposite King Xiang leisurely, but didn't continue talking, as if he was waiting for something.

At this moment, the Prince Xiangling's son at the side suddenly rolled his eyes, prostrated himself on the ground, and said.

"I respectfully invite Sheng An!"

Seeing this, a group of clan disciples below blinked their eyes and followed suit one after another. Regardless of the dust and mud on the ground, they fell down on the ground and shouted loudly.

"I respectfully invite Sheng An!"

It has to be said that people have a herd mentality. When they made such a fuss, the people on the side were a little at a loss. Then, the people watching were afraid of accidents, so they also knelt down and did not dare to raise their heads.

As a result, the scene suddenly became a little embarrassing, except for a group of officers and soldiers, and the Dongchang fans, everyone else fell to the ground one after another because of Shu Liang's simple sentence.

The rest are only the people from the ten princes' mansion opposite.

As the servants of the palace, they are naturally aware of the etiquette system. Although the emperor's golden words and the constitution of heaven are in his mouth, in actual operation, only the most formal imperial decree will be issued, and there will be a complicated ceremony of receiving the decree. Everyone who saw it knelt down.

For other decrees, such as Zhongzhi, the Empress Dowager's Yizhi, etc., the movement is much smaller. Basically, it only needs to be received by the person who receives the decree and leads the crowd to kneel down.

As for the relatively more informal orders such as oral orders, generally speaking, if the order is delivered in the government office and the person who receives the order is high enough, you only need to accept the order.

This point is most obvious in the cabinet. Basically, the cabinet receives several orders from the emperor every day, either pointing out government affairs, or issuing edicts to draw up edicts. If you have to kneel down every time , the old people's knees are afraid that they will retire early.

The ministers are still like this, let alone King Xiang, who is the uncle of the emperor, there is no need to kneel down to meet him, but in this scene, it is obvious that the opposite side is putting him here.

Shu Liang, the preacher, looked like he was waiting quietly, and Zhu Fanzhi, the bastard, led a group of clan children to make a fuss, and the people below followed suit.

At this time, King Xiang became a different kind instead, squeezed his right fist, Zhu Zhanqian forced a smile on his face, and said.

"Eunuch Shu, but Your Majesty summoned me into the palace?"

Generally speaking, the content of the oral order is relatively simple. It is either a summons or a message. If there is something important, a formal imperial edict will naturally be issued.

There was such a big incident in front of the ten kings' mansion, and the person who came was Dongchang. Zhu Zhanqian could easily imagine that the emperor had already known about it. .

Seeing that King Xiang started to play tricks, Shu Liang sneered in his heart and said.

"Your Majesty is so majestic. Our family passed on His Majesty's oral order. Your Majesty, do you just sit on the couch and listen?"

When he was threatening people, Eunuch Shu put on his trademark fake smile again, but the more familiar he was, the more he understood that this time was precisely the most dangerous time.

The last time, Shu Gonggong spoke in this tone, it was still in the Xuanfu...

But of this, Zhu Zhanqian naturally didn't know, seeing the aggressive eunuch in front of him, the anger he had suppressed just burst out, and he gritted his teeth.

"Dog slave, didn't you see that the king was injured?"

These words were like throwing a stone into a calm lake, and immediately made the atmosphere tense immediately. The Dongchang Fanzi, who originally only separated the servants of the royal family from a group of clan children, heard these words, and immediately held Duan stick turned to face the ten princes' mansion, with an unkind look on his face.

Some of them were temporarily transferred from the Jinyiwei, equipped with swords, even pulled out the Xiuchun knife from their waists with a groaning sound, looking like a tiger watching.

Among other things, just from this scene, it can be seen how well Shu Liang has trained Dongchang on weekdays.

Relatively speaking, Shu Liang, who was obviously being scolded, didn't look angry at all, still smiling, and even cupped his hands, saying.

"My lord, please calm down, it's because our family didn't think carefully, but..."

While talking, Shu Liang straightened up, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and said.

"If our family remembers correctly, Lord Xiang, you injured your arm, not your leg, or, did our family remember wrongly? Did you hurt your leg?"

When saying these words, Shu Liang's eyes swept across King Xiang's body intentionally or unintentionally, and finally stayed on his legs. That look made people feel as if they were on their backs.

Of course Zhu Zhanqian didn't hurt his leg, but the two sticks of King Zhennan seriously hurt his arm. The doctor ordered him to stay in bed for at least a month.

In fact, Zhu Zhanqian could feel this even if the doctor didn't say anything about it. Even though he had already taken care of it and used the medicine well, his arm still hurts when he moved now.

Standing was fine, but for him to get up, it was impossible not to move the injured arm.

The bastard Shu Liang made it clear that he wanted to punish him.

The veins on Zhu Zhanqian's forehead were twitching, and he subconsciously wanted to continue yelling, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few Dongchang fans next to him, looking eager to try, which immediately calmed him down.

After all, he has been in Beijing for a long time, so he naturally knows about Shu Liang's "brilliant deeds".

This Dongchang eunuch is someone who dares to fight even in front of the Supreme Emperor!
Thinking of Shu Liang's sizing up on him just now, and the tone of his last sentence, Zhu Zhanqian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He doesn't mean to...

He told himself again in his heart that this was under the emperor's feet, that Shu Liang could not have such courage, but various evaluations of Shu Liang from the outer dynasty couldn't help but pop out of his mind one by one.

This is a mad dog!
Thinking like this, Zhu Zhanqian gritted his teeth, endured the pain, stood up from the couch, then raised his injured arm, and gently arched his hands forward.

During the period, the housekeeper next to him wanted to step forward to help, but he stared back.

This kind of movement is nothing to ordinary people, but for Zhu Zhanqian today, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. When he raised his arm, the severe pain hit him, and he couldn't help but turn pale, and his forehead turned pale. They were all dripping with cold sweat.

Enduring the pain by force, Zhu Zhan said.

"Shu Gonggong! What is His Majesty's oral order, you can always say it now, right?"

Looking at Zhu Zhanqian's pale face opposite, Shu Liang sighed, showing a trace of regret undisguised on his face, and said hypocritically.

"Oh, what is the prince doing? Our family can't be called a prince. You are still hurt, just get up, why bother to salute?"

Zhu Zhanqian gritted his teeth even more because of these yin and yang words, but at this time, it would be unwise to start a conflict with Shu Liang again. He took a deep breath and didn't speak any more, just sternly He stared at Shu Liang who was opposite, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in his mind.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Shu Liang was also a little disappointed. However, it's really inappropriate to continue to toss. Shu Liang is not afraid of this King Xiang who can't figure out how much he is. After all, he even dared to threaten the Supreme Emperor. What's more, it's a King Xiang who doesn't deal with the emperor.

What really worried Eunuch Shu was that the delay just now was long enough, and if the disturbance continued, the emperor in the palace might have to wait in a hurry.

So, Shu Liang restrained his expression and spoke.

"Your Majesty ordered that King Xuanxiang enter the palace to have an audience!"

While talking, he turned around, looked at the clan disciples below, shook his head, and said.

"Speaking of which, His Majesty summoned the prince into the palace originally for the sake of King Zhennan, but now it seems that you may have to go with our family."

Zhu Fanzhi and the others at the bottom were still watching King Xiang deflated with great interest, but when they turned their heads, they were called by name. Once the excitement passed, they suddenly realized what they had just done , suddenly became dejected...

…………

Outside the Meridian Gate, the sky suddenly turned cloudy. The sun, which was hanging high in the sky, was covered by a huge dark cloud, and strong winds began to blow all around, as if the sky was about to change.

However, this is good news for Zhennan Wang and his son who are still kneeling outside the palace gate, at least it is not so hot.

They had been kneeling for almost two hours, and as time went by, the number of onlookers outside gradually decreased.

After all, these officials did not have nothing to do. In the end, although there were still a lot of people, they were basically small officials left by each yamen to observe the movement, as well as some imperial historians, who were still surrounded in the distance. .

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. The person who came was of course an old acquaintance, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, Mr. Shu Liang, dressed in python clothes and hiding a knife in his smile!

Behind him, followed by a large group of Dongchang Fanzi, the most eye-catching thing is the imposing shoulders. You can know the identity of the person by looking at the shape of the prince.

Looking back, a large group of young people with their heads bowed, dressed in expensive clothes, but covered with dust and dirt, looks like they just rolled on the ground.

Among the ministers, after all, there were those who were well-informed, and they recognized it all at once, and exclaimed.

"Isn't that the prince of Xiangling? The one following behind is the son of the Yichun royal family. Hey, aren't these people all the sons of the clan? This is the time, why are you here if you don't study hard at Zongxue?"

There was a murmur of discussion, and seeing this situation, several petty officials turned their heads and ran to their own yamen to report back, while the others gave way tacitly.

At the same time, King Xiang and the others also saw King Zhennan and his son kneeling in the center of the square. Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhanqian, who was sitting on the shoulders, suddenly shrank his pupils and frowned.

However, in contrast, Zhu Fanzhi and the others were stunned for a moment, and then became aggressive again.

The team continued to move forward. When they passed Zhennan Wang and the two, Shu Liang stopped and cupped his hands, but he didn't say much.

The fans of Dongchang were divided into two teams, one team led Xiang Wang's shoulders to the palace gate, and the other team dispersed around Zhennan Wang and the two, leaving a large area. block of land.

Seeing this situation, the clan's children were also very conscious, and followed behind the father and son of Zhennan Wang and knelt down on the ground.

This appearance aroused Zhu Yinyu's surprise, so the son of the Zhennan Prince asked for the first time after he arrived outside the palace gate.

"Fan Zhi, Zhirong, you...why are you here?"

Apparently, Zhu Yinyu still "doesn't know" what happened, looking at the group of clan children kneeling down plop plop, he looked a little anxious, said.

"Everyone, this is my father and son's business. It has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and go back to Zongxue, study hard, keep yourself safe, and don't cause trouble for the court and His Majesty!"

As if feeling the sincerity of his good friend's concern for him, Zhu Fanzhi's blood surged again, and he suddenly forgot the uneasiness on the way when he came, and said while patting his chest.

"Yinji, what nonsense are you talking about? Do we still share our friendship with each other? We have agreed to share blessings and share hardships. Do you think I'm a coward?"

"Let me tell you, as for that old man Zhu Zhanqian, I have long disliked him, this time I can help you out!"

Then, the disciples of the clan below chattered about what happened outside the ten princes' mansion, and Zhu Yinyu's expression suddenly became complicated.

After a while, he Fang sighed heavily, then turned around solemnly, bowed his hands to everyone, and said.

"Everyone, today's matter is caused by Yinji, you can rest assured, if your Majesty blames you, my father and son will bear it all, and no matter what happens from now on, Yinji will always remember your kindness in my heart .”

In the Meridian Gate Square, black clouds hung over everyone's heads, and the wind gradually picked up, blowing their clothes. The children of the clan couldn't help but feel desolate when they heard Zhu Yinxuan's tone of entrusting funeral affairs, and even There are quite a few sons of the clan who are full of emotions, and their eyes can't help but get a little moist.

In the huge square, a group of noble clan children knelt on the ground without saying a word. At the end of mid-spring, they somehow felt a little more bleak.

At the same time, King Xiang rode his shoulders and entered the palace all the way, with various thoughts surging in his mind.

He is recuperating in the mansion, and he doesn't know what the father and son of Zhennan have done. However, looking at their appearance, he can probably guess that these two are pre-emptive and want to pretend to be in front of the emperor and the officials. Poor, Bo sympathizes.

Thinking about what happened outside the tenth prince's mansion just now, King Xiang was even more furious, he couldn't believe that there was no shadow of the father and son behind this incident.

Pretending to be a good person and being pitiful in person, but secretly turning around and inciting a bunch of clan children to make trouble, what's wrong, do you really think he's easy to bully?

His arm began to throb and hurt again, King Xiang took a few breaths, looked out of the palace bitterly, and had already made up his mind, no matter what, in front of the emperor, he couldn't let this matter be settled easily.

Thinking in this way, the team has already arrived outside the Wenhua Palace, and Wynn was waiting outside early. Unlike Shu Liang, Wynn is very respectful and polite. Come up, wait for the shoulders to stop, bow and say.

"Greetings to the lord, your majesty has ordered, the lord is inconvenient, you don't need to lower your shoulders when you arrive, just order someone to carry it in!"

Hearing these words, Zhu Zhanqian felt much better, and decided to decline, but his arm started to hurt again, so he simply lifted his uninjured right hand and said lazily.

"Understood, you go and tell His Majesty, and say that the king is here to see you under the imperial edict."

Huai En arched his hands and led the people back. After a while, a servant came out from the palace and led King Xiang into the palace on his shoulders.

However, as soon as he entered the palace, King Xiang felt a burst of eyes cast on him. After a quick glance, he found that in the palace, apart from the emperor, there were a group of important officials in the court, including the six ministries and seven ministers, the cabinet ministers, and even Jing'an. Uncle Fan Guang, Feng Guogong Li Xian and other ministers of martial arts are also impressively listed...
