Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 752 Is it a successful conclusion...?
In Wenhua Palace, no one thought that King Zhennan would have such an attitude.

You know, both the ministers and King Xiang thought that the King of Zhennan was kneeling outside the palace to pray for forgiveness in order to reduce his punishment.

In this situation, just as the father and son kept admitting their mistakes outside, it is the correct way to stay low and be small, and continue to admit their mistakes in a good voice.

However, who would have thought that after entering the palace, in front of the emperor and the princes and ministers, the King of Zhennan changed his attitude of admitting his mistakes outside the palace, and spoke aggressively.

Although what he said seemed to be admitting his mistake, the sentence "If it happens again, I will still do this", it can be seen that there is no "repentance" in his heart.

Compared with right and wrong in the conflict with King Xiang, King Zhennan pleaded for mercy to the clan children outside, which seemed a little more sincere.

However, his attitude obviously made the emperor very angry. The most obvious thing is that the emperor's brows have been visibly wrinkled.

This appearance made the ministers in the palace worry for a while, whether the emperor would really punish those clan children outside in a fit of anger, and then a real big event would happen.

In fact, the ministers were also very embarrassed about what happened outside the ten princes' mansion, or in other words, there was basically no embarrassment for things involving this kind of clan.

However, this matter is especially difficult now.

Logically speaking, this group of clan children went to the ten princes' mansion to make trouble, collided with the prince of the court, and even fought violently. They lost all the face of the court and should be severely punished.

However, the problem is that in many cases, it cannot be reasonable.

Still the same sentence, although most of these clan children do not have titles, they are noble in blood and respected in status. More than half of them are the sons and daughters of various families. Folks, it is appointed that the sky will be turned upside down.

Taking a step back, even if these domineering clans were to be dealt with, it was not at this time.

Not to mention that now it is time to rectify the military settlements, if the clan clan makes a fuss again, it will be a mess for the imperial court.

As far as how to deal with such a major event that shocked the government and the public, the court naturally has a set of well-known rules.

For the imperial court, if it wasn't something like the military situation that couldn't be dealt with completely, then if things got serious, the first thing to think about would always be how to appease the public opinion, reduce the impact, try to stabilize the situation first, and wait for a while. After the matter was dealt with, the limelight passed, and it would not be too late to settle accounts with those who participated in it one by one.

But it is definitely not the right way to intensify conflicts on the cusp of the storm.

Therefore, at this time, I can only think of ways to turn the big things into small things. However, when such a thing happened, the face of King Xiang was almost lost. Moreover, King Zhennan has such an attitude now that he wants to King Xiang let go, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Therefore, the officials can only hope that the omnipotent emperor can still control his emotions at this time and come up with a solution.

It should be said that Sheng Ming Yingduan's emperor will never disappoint the expectations of his subjects. His Majesty has always done a good job in this regard, and this time is no exception.

Frowning and glaring at King Zhennan, the Son of Heaven did not act impulsively and punished all the disciples of the clan. Instead, he pondered for a moment, put aside King Zhennan, and set his sights on King Xiang who had a rather unsightly expression. ,road.

"Uncle Xiang, now that the great-uncle of the King of Min has a new funeral, and you are recuperating in the mansion, the imperial uncle, there is no one to take care of the sect, which makes these bastards jump up and down, and run around lawlessly. In the final analysis, it is because of their poor temperament. Not enough, so I think, instead of punishing them, it is better to continue to discipline them."

"A few days ago, Hu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites published a memorial, saying that the Ministry of Rites is free now, and can send some people to help Zongxue. If necessary, the Ministry of Rites can also take care of Zongxue for a period of time. I don't know what the emperor thinks. Is it possible to hold it?"

After the words fell, before King Xiang had time to react, Uncle Hu Dazong blinked at the side... When did he go to the book?

Obviously, when he just met the emperor, he just mentioned that sentence casually, so why did he become a book in the name of the Ministry of Rites? !
He raised his head and looked at the emperor inquiringly, just in time to meet the emperor's calm eyes, Old Shangshu Hu's heart skipped a beat, he stepped out of the line, and said.

"Prince Xiang, Your Majesty is right. There are many affairs of Zongxue. Among them, the students enrolled in the school are distinguished and cannot be separated from others at all times. Now that Prince Min has passed away, it is inconvenient for you to manage. In order to avoid bigger troubles, Zongxue still It is better to let the Ministry of Rites take care of it temporarily, not to mention that the Ministry of Rites has already assisted in the management of many affairs of Zongxue, so it is logical to take care of it temporarily at this moment."

Zhu Zhanqian looked at Hu Yan who suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed, smelling a hint of conspiracy.

He glanced at the ministers present without any trace. Although none of them spoke, they seemed to be putting pressure on King Xiang just by standing here.

Could it be that these people are behind the instigation of the farce outside the Ten Princes' Mansion?
Thinking about the belated arrival of Shuntian Mansion and Xuncheng Yushi, Zhu Zhanqian thinks it is possible.

You know, the Ministry of Rites covets the jurisdiction of Zongxue, and it is no longer a day or two.

In fact, from the very beginning when Zongxue was established, the Ministry of Rites tried to fight for the jurisdiction of Zongxue, but at that time, because all the kings were there, they were pushed back.

Not only that, in order to manage Zongxue, with the acquiescence of the emperor, the kings also promoted Min King as Da Zongzheng and Xiang Wang as Zuo Zongzheng, who stayed in Beijing to be in charge of Zongxue. The name of an associate.

But now, as Hu Wei said, King Min passed away and he was injured. It would be strange if the Ministry of Rites didn't take this opportunity to grab Zongxue again.

Before, Zhu Zhanqian didn't think about it, but now that Hu Min mentioned it, he realized that, as the most senior and oldest prince in the clan, once King Min died, the position of Da Zongzheng became vacant, He might not be the only one holding this position.

Even, thinking about it a little deeper, Zhu Zhanqian even wondered if the King of Zhennan's brutal attack on him was also instigated by the Ministry of Rites.

You know, at that time, that old guy Hu Wei was watching from the sidelines. Although he didn't fan the flames, at least he stood by and watched.

Thinking of this, King Xiang immediately shook his head firmly and said.

"Your Majesty, since Zongxue is established for the children of the clan, it should be under the jurisdiction of the clan's mansion. Although the uncle of King Min passed away, the minister is still in the capital. The slight injury is nothing to worry about. As long as your majesty still trusts the minister, tomorrow the minister You can return to Zongxue and continue to teach the disciples of the clan."

Now that things have happened, Zhu Zhanqian doesn't care about punishing the clan's children anymore, it's important to keep the jurisdiction of Zongxue first.

You must know that the assessment results at the time of Zongxue graduation are directly related to the succession of the princes of various families. If it is really in the hands of the Ministry of Rites, the already cumbersome steps of succession will inevitably become more difficult. , the spittle stars of the kings must not drown him.

What's more, at this time, Zhu Zhanqian also gradually felt a little taste.

What the emperor said just now, although he was blaming the clan's children for causing trouble in the ten princes' residence, but the focus of the blame was not on these clan's children, but on the lax discipline of the clan.

Although it seemed that he was left out at the beginning, no one in the court knew that King Min had been ill for a long time, and in fact he, King Xiang, was in charge of Zongxue.

To put it bluntly, it was because he didn't take good care of his religious students that such a thing happened. To put it bluntly, it's his own fault!
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, at this time, it is difficult for King Xiang to mention the matters of these clan children, so he can only endure the pain in his arm and begin to express his determination to the emperor.

On the throne, the emperor frowned and said.

"Uncle Xiang, you don't have to hold on. A few days ago, the imperial physician came back and forth, saying that Uncle Huang, you need to rest for the past two months. How can you ignore your health because of religious matters?"

Ah this...

Sensing the suspicious gazes cast from all directions, King Xiang couldn't help being a little embarrassed, but thinking of the importance of Zongxue, he gouged out a look at King Zhennan at the side, tried his best to ignore the faint pain in his arm, and said with a smile .

"Your Majesty, it is clear that this matter is nothing more than a matter of two sticks. Even if it is hit harder, it is not a big deal."

"As for what the doctor and the imperial physician said, I don't like what I said. These doctors always reserve three points when they treat noble people. They can obviously be cured in three to five days. To be on the safe side, they are always unwilling to use strong medicine. , I would rather delay it for ten days and eight months, and ask for safety. When asking questions, I will consider the time and dare not tell the truth, I will only report more."

"Although the minister's injury is not serious, it is not as serious as what the doctors said. He can get out of bed now, and in a few days, he will be fine."

"Zongxue is important. It is related to the future of my Zhu family's children. Naturally, it cannot be ignored. Even if I suffer a little bit, it is worth it."

These words are quite like a "virtuous king", but...

"Uncle Huang has a heart. Since this is the case, I don't have to worry too much. How about this? From tomorrow, Uncle Huang will take the post of Da Zongzheng and continue to manage the affairs of Zongxue properly."

Sure enough, after hearing what King Xiang said, a smile appeared on the face of the Son of Heaven, and he spoke softly.

"As for Prince Min's mansion, there are still conflicts outside the ten prince's mansion. Since the emperor's uncle is in good health, and Prince Zhennan's father and son and all the clan's children have already admitted their mistakes, let's make this big issue into a small one, how about it?"

"After all, we are all of the blood of the great ancestor, blood is thicker than water, what does the emperor think?"

Going around and around, it actually came back to this point.

Even though he had expected it, but after glancing at King Zhennan at the side, King Xiang couldn't help but feel a little bit unwilling, but, the matter has come to this point, and what he said would be irreversible, so he could only force a smile and said.

"What Your Majesty said is very true. This matter has been exposed, and the minister will not mention it again. However, the Min King's uncle has a new funeral, and there is no one to manage the Min land. It is always inappropriate. Therefore, the Zhennan King..."

In the end, Zhu Zhanqian was still worried, and pointed the finger at King Zhennan again.

Even if you can't do anything about him, at least you have to drive him out of the capital!
Originally, Zhu Zhanqian thought that the emperor would have to evade a few words, but what he didn't expect was that the emperor nodded slightly, agreed, and said.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang, I will do what I say. Although Uncle Huang is magnanimous and doesn't care about it, the king of Zhennan beat up his clan and committed a serious crime. Be a warning to others!"

After saying these words, Zhu Zhanqian's heart was in his stomach.

As long as this damn King Zhennan doesn't stay in the capital, then everything will be fine.

However, for some reason, he always felt that he was missing something?
what is it?

Prince Xiang didn't have doubts for long, because soon, the voice of a certain uncle from the Ministry of Rites sounded in the hall, answering his doubts.

The veteran of the Five Dynasties stepped out of the line again, with a calm face, and said.

"Your Majesty, since this matter is over, the issue of the succession of the Min King should also be taken care of. The Min King was conferred by the Taizu and will not be replaced by hereditary succession. Now that the old Min King has passed away, according to the ancestral system, Zhu Huixun, the son of the Min King, should succeed him. Conferred the throne of Min, and his eldest son, Zhu Yinyu, assumed the throne of Zhennan, please allow your majesty!"

After the words fell, King Xiang's eyes widened.

Damn, how could he forget this!

You know, King Zhennan is just a county king, but his other identity is the son of King Min. If such a big incident happened, even if it can't prevent him from inheriting the throne, at least he has to delay it later. A few years, as a punishment.

As a result, from the moment he got the news, he was called out by Zhennan King, and he was blinded by the high wall of Fengyang, and completely forgot about this section.

What a miscalculation!

Gouging out the fat prince and his son next to him with hatred, Zhu Zhanqian knew that it was too late to say anything at this time.

Just now he opened his mouth and said that the beating of the clan was over, now there is no reason to speak up to stop Xifeng, otherwise, it would appear that he is narrow-minded.

So, in Zhu Zhanqian's unwilling eyes, the emperor didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and said.

"This is the truth. Since this is the case, the Ministry of Rites should hurry up and prepare for the canonization. However, there is no conflict between the seizure of the title and the return of Zhennan King to the fief."

"The one-month period is limited, and the Ministry of Rites will complete the ceremony of attacking the seal. After the end, the king of Zhennan will return to the fief as scheduled!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"The minister leads the decree, thank Your Majesty for the grace!"

The son of heaven made a perfect statement, and the matter was finalized, and the matter was considered to be over. Hu Wei and Zhennan Wang and his son stepped forward at the same time and bowed to the ground.

It's just that, compared to Hu Wei's ceremonial acceptance of the order, the expressions of Zhennan Wang and his son were faintly worried, and I don't know what they thought...

The matter has come to this point, and it can be regarded as a successful conclusion. The officials bowed their heads and retreated. It didn't take long for the hall to become empty.

On the other side, Zhu Qiyu was sitting on the throne, looking at the courtiers retreating one by one, with a calm face, Shu Liang served beside him, filling the emperor with tea diligently, and also glanced at the scattered courtiers outside the hall, hesitating For a moment, he asked softly.

"My lord, the one-month period, is the time a little tight? What if..."

However, before he finished speaking, the voice of the emperor came leisurely.

"Shu Liang, don't underestimate my uncle, he won't let himself have any accidents!"
