Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 751 Crazy testing on the edge of danger
In the Wenhua Palace, the Son of Heaven resides high above, the gate of the palace is wide open, a few servants are carrying the shoulders, King Xiang is sitting on it, stared at by a group of civil and military ministers, he can't help feeling a little numb.

It stands to reason that when meeting the emperor, one has to walk in anyway. Of course, King Xiang is not a person who does not understand etiquette, but if he walks, his injured arm will indeed hurt very much. Second, he does not know This meeting is so formal.

One must know that in terms of seniority, King Xiang is the uncle of the current emperor. If he is summoned alone, after the ceremony of the monarch and ministers, he should talk about the family ceremony. Since he was injured, it is understandable to meet him without courtesy.

However, in this case, it is obviously inappropriate to do so.

Inwardly scolding Shu Liang, a bastard, he didn't explain clearly to him, King Xiang was so embarrassed that he could feel the gazes from all directions.

After finally reaching the palace, several servants put down the shoulders, King Xiang immediately wanted to stand up and salute, but the voice of the emperor was faster than his movements.

"Uncle Xiang, don't get up!"

I saw the emperor above had a warm smile on his face, pressed his hands down, and said.

"The imperial doctor has informed me of the emperor's uncle's injury. The emperor's uncle is seriously injured. He should have been recuperating in the mansion. It is my fault to trouble the emperor's uncle to enter the palace today. The emperor's uncle will do it on the shoulders. No need get up."

That's the case, but, facing the silent gaze of all the civil and military ministers present, King Xiang was not stupid, and without much hesitation, he endured the pain, struggled to stand up, and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, but the etiquette cannot be discarded. Your Majesty, Zhu Zhanqian, see you!"

Although this movement, affected by the injured arm, was not neat and standard, it still relaxed the atmosphere in the hall.

The emperor's words are a mighty grace of the emperor, but under such circumstances, it would be a bit too arrogant to accept it so calmly.

King Xiang's actions successfully made all the ministers present look away from him a little.

On the throne, seeing this situation, the Son of Heaven smiled wryly, didn't say much, just waved his hand and said.

"Emperor Uncle, come and give him a seat."

This is what is truly acceptable. After the Son of Heaven's words fell, the servant moved the soft chair over immediately. King Xiang didn't care about the rule of not being able to sit all at the right time, but only half-sit, so he sat down on the chair. superior.

I can't help it, my arm hurts too much!
Every time this time came, King Xiang would scold Zhennan King in his heart, that fat man, for being too ruthless!

So, a group of ministers stood and King Xiang sat, and thus began the formal performance.

The emperor said: "The emperor must have seen it too. The father and son of Zhennan Prince are kneeling outside. I don't need to tell you what happened. It is a serious crime to beat the prince."

"However, now that his father and son have realized their mistake, they have asked themselves to be imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang. I think of the affection of my relatives, and I feel that after all, they are people of the same surname and the same family. What's more, the great uncle of King Min just passed away, and the two of them There are also people who are impulsive at the moment.”

"All the ministers are here today, so I will be a peacemaker. I ask the emperor to forgive the impropriety of the father and son of Zhennan Wang and his son. I don't know what the emperor thinks?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqian was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect the emperor to be so straight to the point.

Glancing at the silent civil and military ministers beside him, he couldn't help but feel a little more cautious, and began to make careful calculations.

Speaking of this matter, although King Zhennan did it first, he was indeed at fault, and everyone present knew this well.

What's more, the father and son of Zhennan King knelt outside the palace to admit their mistakes, and all the officials in the palace were present, and the emperor himself came to be a peacemaker.

At this time, for King Xiang, the best choice is to go down the slope and expose the matter magnanimously, the two sides will get back together, everyone will be happy, and they can continue to maintain their "virtuous name" among the kings .

However, the disadvantage is that his beating was for nothing!

So, what should be done?
Although before entering the palace, especially after the farce outside the ten princes' mansion, King Xiang always thought in his heart that he should teach Zhennan Wang and his son a lesson.

But when the choice was really in front of him, Zhu Zhanqian still hesitated.

One must know that the reason why he went to make trouble outside King Min's mansion was to drive King Zhennan and his son out of the capital so that he could take over Da Zongzheng's position.

Now he only needs to swallow this bad breath, and the goal is at his fingertips. Giving up just for the sake of anger is obviously not what a smart person should do.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Zhanqian made a decision in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to swipe his hands, but he pulled his arm again and gasped in pain.

Glancing bitterly outside the hall, Zhu Zhan said.

"Since your majesty speaks in person, I should obey. However, what the two kings of Zhennan have done is really domineering. If they continue to stay in Beijing, there may be another incident and damage the face of the royal family. Therefore, I implore your majesty to send the king of Zhennan. The father and son went out of Beijing and returned to the fief to think about their mistakes."

The implication is to drive them away, and forget about this matter.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanqian quietly raised his head and looked at the emperor's expression. In his expectation, the emperor should be at least a little unwilling. After all, the old King Min wanted to pave the way for his son, and it was impossible for him to pass the emperor's pass.

However, to his surprise, the Son of Heaven didn't say much, but nodded and said.

"The emperor's magnanimity is the blessing of the clan. In this case, I will decree to give Zhennan Wang and his son a month to manage the funeral. After this matter is over, let them return to the fief, and they will not be allowed to enter the capital after that!"

The Son of Heaven didn't discuss this decision with anyone, he just asked King Xiang for his opinion, and he made it straight away, so there was inevitably a burst of murmured discussions.

However, no one stood up to object in the end. After a short pause, seeing that no one objected, the emperor turned sideways and said.

"Wynn, go and bring Zhennan Wang and his son in!"

"Yes……"

Wynn cupped his hands and left in a hurry, which made all the officials in the palace and King Xiang feel a little unbelievable. Could it be that this matter is over like this?
Outside the Meridian Gate, a group of clan children knelt outside, all of them downcast, especially with the "confidentiality" just now, everyone felt a little bit more uneasy about the future while sharing the same hatred.

In such a state of mind, everyone saw Huai En, the eunuch of Bingbi, the emperor's close attendant, leading a group of eunuchs, coming from the gate of the palace.

Heping always had a smile on his face. This time, the head steward next to the emperor had a serious expression, without a smile on his face. He stood in front of the disciples of the clan, glanced first, and then fixed his eyes on Zhennan The voices of the Wang father and son were indifferent and without emotion.

"Your Majesty's decree, King Xuan Zhennan and his son have an audience!"

You can see the whole picture at a glance. Although most of the clan's children present have never dealt with Wynn, they have always heard of his reputation.

Therefore, seeing the expression of this always good-tempered Da Dang, I felt even more anxious.

The chubby Zhennan King raised his head, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, he opened his mouth, and he still said.

"Eunuch Huai En, please tell Your Majesty that the current situation is all due to my impulse. If I want to be beaten or punished, or I want to remove the title and ban, my father and son are willing to bear it..."

The majestic king of the county, facing an eunuch, used his honorific title humbly. Suddenly, the many descendants of the clan present couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably uncomfortable in their hearts.

However, even so, King Zhennan was interrupted rudely by Wynn, saying.

"My lord, what do you have to say? Go in and tell your majesty yourself. Now, Lord Xiang and a group of elders in the court are waiting in the palace. Your majesty has ordered that if the lord is still unwilling to enter the palace, let our family Carry the prince in, and now that the matter is over, don't you make things difficult for the person in our family, right?"

This……

If it was said that before, everyone was just guessing, then at this time, they were almost sure that it must be King Xiang who was not forgiving, and the emperor had to severely punish Zhennan Wang and his son.

At this thought, Zhu Fanzhi, who already felt that he had caused the trouble, couldn't hold back any longer, and said in a muffled voice.

"Eunuch Huai En, tell us the truth, is your Majesty going to use Uncle Wang and Yin Xun to make Zhu Zhanqian that old... that old prince vent his anger?"

"This can't be done, it's caused by us, we can afford it, I want to see His Majesty too!"

It has to be said that this Prince Xiangling's son is sometimes really out of his head when he speaks and does things. When his temper comes up, he almost utters all disrespectful words.

Fortunately, he still didn't understand anything, and when the words came to his lips, he snapped them back abruptly.

However, his words also aroused the youthful spirit of most people present.

Suddenly, many people shouted after him.

"Yes, we want to see His Majesty!"

"That's right, Your Majesty can't just listen to what that old... old prince Xiang said, you have to listen to what we have to say."

"Yes, let's go into the palace with Yinyuan!"

All of a sudden, the crowd in the square became excited, and everyone clamored to go in together.

Seeing this situation, Wynn frowned and seemed to be a little hesitant. However, before he could speak, he saw the fat King of Zhennan sighing heavily, and then, holding the ground with difficulty, he stood up slowly stand up.

Perhaps it was because he had been kneeling for too long, but when he stood up suddenly, his body swayed and he almost fell down.

The two servants who were watching by him were so frightened that they quickly went up to help them, so that no accident happened on the spot. However, the fat prince took a few breaths, then pushed the two servants away, and then glanced at the man who also silently followed him to stand up. Son, just turned around and faced the many clan disciples present, said.

"Everyone, I accept your intentions, but if this trouble continues, it will embarrass our Zhu family. I am really honored to have you take care of Yinzhen in the capital during this time. Don't worry, Your Majesty." It is Sheng Tianzi, this king believes that His Majesty will make a fair decision on this matter."

"We are all from the Zhu family, and we have the backbone to die. Today, in front of everyone, this king simply said, no matter what the result is this time, but if someone dares to make trouble in front of the father's spirit, this king will still Pick up the stick and hit him*!"

At the end of the conversation, the fat prince became emotional and swears uncommonly.

"My lord is well said!"

"This is the man of our Zhu family!"

"Yes, hit him *!"

The young man is very popular. As soon as he said such impassioned words, the people below responded immediately, and they looked at King Zhennan with a little more admiration.

After waiting for a while, when the group of clan children calmed down a bit, King Zhennan said again.

"But it's still the same sentence. This matter has nothing to do with you. No matter what happens in the end, this king hopes that you can study hard in Zongxue in peace and contentment. This is also the last wish of my father before his death. This king I believe it is the original intention of your parents to send you to Zongxue."

This time, the disciples of the clan did not shout like before, but were stunned, and then started talking to each other in low voices.

After a while, Zhu Yinyu who was on the side also spoke.

"Father is right. If you really want to help my father and son, please wait here. We believe that His Majesty will be able to judge fairly and will not make the villain proud!"

It should be said that compared to King Zhennan, Zhu Yinyu, who usually studied with them in Zongxue, was more familiar with him. As soon as he said this, the people below said one after another.

"Okay, listen to the sound, we'll wait here!"

"That's right, we're just waiting outside, I don't believe it, this old prince...you can cover the sky with one hand!"

"Don't worry, my lord, we are all here. If His Majesty is unfair, let's go in and reason together."

In this way, the emotions of the clan children present at the scene finally calmed down. Afterwards, King Zhennan turned around and followed Huai En towards the palace with his companion Zhu Yinxuan.

Not long after, they came to Wenhua Palace, knelt down and saluted, saying.

"My minister Zhu Huixun..."

"Minister Zhu Yinxuan..."

"See Your Majesty!"

The first emperor's face was indifferent, and he changed his amiable attitude just now, and said.

"Prince Zhennan, it is a serious crime for you to beat the prince in public. However, the emperor is magnanimous and doesn't care about you. For the sake of King Min's great uncle who has just passed away, I will give you a month to take care of the funeral. After a month, you will return to the fief with your concubine's family!"

These words were calm, but the tone was cold and hard. Moreover, after King Zhennan entered the palace, he didn't even have a flat body, so he kept kneeling like this, which showed his situation.

However, for the fat Zhennan King, he seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he had no refutation, just bowed his head and said.

"The minister obeys the order."

But then, King Zhennan raised his head, looked at Zhu Zhanqian who was sitting quietly beside him, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, and continued to speak.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that it was my fault to beat up King Xiang, and I dare not shirk it, but if it happens again, I will still do it!"

"presumptuous!"

After the words fell, King Xiang hadn't reacted yet, the emperor's voice sounded slightly angry, looking at King Zhennan who was kneeling below, the emperor frowned, obviously a little angry, said.

"King of Zhennan, I thought you were kneeling outside the palace, and you were already remorseful, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of repentance. In this case, after returning to the fiefdom, you will be confined for three years to meditate on your past. Go to Minwang Mansion to entrust the land for one year's salary, just to set an example to others!"

It can be seen that the emperor was really angry this time, and the confinement is nothing. However, the salary of the entire palace is not a small number, and the emperor is exempted for one year, which made all the officials present look at each other in blank dismay.

It seems that the life of King Zhennan will be sad...

However, even so, King Zhennan didn't show any regret on his face, but continued.

"I will admit how your Majesty punishes you, because I have indeed done so. However, I want to plead for the group of clan children who are still outside the palace. I implore Your Majesty not to blame them. After all, these children are just impulsive. , are all Zhu family blood, broken bones and connected tendons, I implore Your Majesty to take care of the affection of relatives and forgive their impulsiveness!"
