Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 143 Yang Lian is a knife
The first month of the first year of Tianqi passed away quietly in the hustle and bustle, and February arrived as scheduled. However, it was different from the hustle and bustle of the first year of Taichang. Due to the occurrence and characterization of some things, the restless court seemed to have been poured cold water on it, and quickly As the temperature cooled down, the people, whether in the capital or the capital, began to become agitated, and some secrets were widely circulated in secret.

Time is emotionless. It will not stop or speed up based on people's joys and sorrows. The Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty, but there are some differences.

Beizhen Fusi.

This place that everyone fears is destined to be different today.

The Jinyiwei banner school students who stayed in Beijing stood upright in the cold wind with serious expressions. They wore military uniforms, Fanyang hats and wild goose feather swords, which were the standard equipment of the middle and lower-level Jinyiwei.

Among the crowd, there were some people wearing different clothes, including flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives, and their faces showed nervousness.

"Qianhu... Why do you think the Fifth Highness came to the prison?" A Baihu looked nervous and said to the tall middle-aged man next to him: "Is there something important..."

"Deputy Qianhu!"

Jinchuan frowned and glared at the man: "Just scream in private. At this time, if you want to die, I don't want to.

Why did the Fifth Highness come to prison? If you ask me, who should I ask?What the people from the palace said was that His Highness the Fifth Prince was ordered to come over for inspection. He didn’t say anything else. I’m telling you, cheer up. If anyone dares to make any mistakes, please clean up the trouble in front of your door! "

When he said this, Jinchuan's stern eyes swept across the several Baihu and deputy Baihu standing beside him, and he soon noticed something strange.

"Where's Li Ruolian?"

Jinchuan frowned.

"I was on duty in the prison. I called him, but he didn't come."

A deputy from Baihu said hurriedly.

This fellow!

Jinchuan cursed in his heart, he had been in Jinyiwei for two months, and he still accepted death like this. The emperor's younger brother came to Fusi, Beizhen, and didn't want to show his face, but stayed in the imperial prison. Why, you really thought that the superior Fifth Highness would go there A place like imperial prison?

Although he was cursing in his heart, Jinchuan didn't say anything on the surface. After all, Jinchuan also had doubts about Li Ruolian. Just being promoted to deputy [-] households of Beizhen Fusi made Jinchuan think.

The current Jin Yiwei is no longer what it used to be.

Luo Sigong led a group of people to leave the capital, and Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun led a group of people to leave the capital. Who among those who stay in the capital today is not careful?

After all, the capital city has changed too much...

The cold wind was howling, and the Jinyi guards gathered outside Fusi, Beizhen, all endured the cold and waited for the arrival of His Highness Zhu Youjian. At that time, in the dark and damp imperial prison, although there was no cold outside, the air was filled with The smell of blood, mixed with some other smells, is hard to get used to.

wow~
The sound of chains clashing echoed in the prison.

Yang Lian was still wearing his official robe, but with chains on his hands and feet. A guard with an indifferent expression and a wild goose feather knife hanging on his waist led Yang Lian in the dim passage.

"Li Ruolian, where are you taking me?"

Yang Lian still looked that proud. Although he had been arrested and sent to prison, he persisted in his heart and did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

"Take you where you need to go."

Li Ruolian said in an indifferent tone.

After walking for who knows how long, a flash of red came into view, which made Li Ruolian speed up his pace, but when Yang Lian saw this scene, he froze in place.

That red robe is so familiar to him...

"Your Majesty... Li Ruolian, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"come in."

The familiar voice sounded, and Yang Lian's demeanor changed, and he became inexplicably excited. But at this moment, Li Ruolian turned around and looked at Yang Lian with cold eyes, "Your Majesty, see you."

With that said, Li Ruolian escorted Yang Lian and walked towards the room in front of him. Wang Tiqian and Han Zanzhou who were standing outside looked at Yang Lian expressionlessly.

The moment he walked into the room and saw the emperor wearing a black cloak, Yang Lian's expression became complicated. Seeing that Yang Lian did not salute, Li Ruolian was about to scold him.

"Yang Qing, how many days will you be in prison?"

Zhu Youxiao sat on a wooden chair, lifted his cloak, looked at Yang Lian and said, "Has Yang Qing read all the contents printed in the Huangming Times?"

Seeing the emperor speak, Li Ruolian lowered his head and stepped aside, while Liu Ruoyu, who was standing next to the emperor, stared at Yang Lian with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Your Majesty... Yang Lian, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Under Liu Ruoyu's gaze, Yang Lian originally wanted to lift the sleeves of his robe and straighten his appearance, but was restrained by the shackles and had no choice but to give up. However, he bowed his hands.

This statement made everyone standing inside and outside frown slightly.

"It seems... Yang Qing doesn't feel guilty?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and looked at Yang Lian, "That's right. If Yang Qing really confesses to me, then she won't be the Yang Lian I know."

"Chen~"

Yang Lian was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Standing is everything. Yang Lian, who was born as a public official, did not feel that he had done anything wrong. Even though he had read the Huangming Times and published the two cases of moving Hongwan to the palace and some truths were verified, Yang Lian still did not feel that he had done anything wrong. What, the emperor should open the way and listen to advice, otherwise how can he govern the world well?
"I came to the prison today not to talk about the past."

Zhu Youxiao's face did not change and he said: "I want to talk about you people who were arrested and sent to prison. Should I confiscate your homes in Lingchi? Or should I release you from prison?" "I am not afraid of death."

Yang Lian frowned slightly and said: "As the late emperor, I ordered you to take care of the military affairs. I knocked on the gate at the Meridian Gate just to warn your majesty that you should not act arbitrarily, block your opinions, and be arbitrary... "

"Don't say these words to me."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "I know what I am doing, but Yang Qing, do you really know what you are doing?

I told Yang Qing before when I was in Qianqing Palace, but Yang Qing didn't seem to hear it in her heart. She felt that your right and wrong are the right and wrong of the world, and your right and wrong are the right and wrong of the world. "

Yang Lian showed a complicated expression.

"You know, Yang Qing, since you were arrested and sent to prison, the Director of Ceremonies has received a lot of impeachment memorials, but I haven't read them and will not send them out."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "Well, I brought them all. Yang Qing can take a look. Everything in this world has its own destiny. People, it's better not to take yourself too seriously. Otherwise, you will be used as a spearman by others. I’m still rushing to get there happily.”

Yang Lian frowned. He didn't know what the emperor meant by these words.

"Li Ruolian."

"The minister is here."

Zhu Youxiao stood up, glanced at Li Ruolian who was bowing and saluting, stretched out his hand and said: "Let Yang Lian take a good look at the confessions of Gu Dazhang and others. He and Zuo Guang will not be treated harshly in the imperial prison."

"The minister leads the order."

Li Ruolian said hurriedly.

"His Majesty!!"

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Yang Lian subconsciously stretched out his hand, but Zhu Youxiao, who was about to leave, turned around under Yang Lian's gaze, raised his hand and slapped Yang Lian fiercely.

"Yang Lian! You disappoint me so much."

Zhu Youxiao stared at the slapped Yang Lian, "There are so many problems facing our country, but you are so troubled and unable to extricate yourself. Your set of benevolence and morality makes me sick to hear. Do you deserve the trust of Huang Kao?" "

After saying that, regardless of what Yang Lian thought, Zhu Youxiao turned around and walked out, followed closely by Liu Ruoyu and the others, leaving Yang Lian alone in the room standing in a daze.

The wind picked up.

Zhu Youxiao put on his cloak and left the prison in the cold wind. Outside a small door, a car was parked. The Han generals standing upright in the cold wind looked around vigilantly.

Under the cold wind, the car drove slowly, and soon met with a larger honor guard somewhere. A car in the team stopped, and Zhu Youjian hurried towards the car where the emperor's brother was riding. go.

"Royal Brother~"

After getting into the warm car, seeing the emperor's brother closing his eyes and concentrating, Zhu Youjian shouted softly, raised his hand and saluted, and sat aside, but there were many doubts between his brows.

After going through such a big battle, just to come to the imperial prison to see Yang Lian, Zhu Youjian was very puzzled. The two cases of Hongwan's transfer to the palace were determined, why should he pay so much attention to Yang Lian?
"Is the emperor's brother strange?"

Zhu Youxiao did not look at Zhu Youjian and said calmly.

Ok?
Zhu Youjian's heart tightened. He saw that the emperor's brother was still closing his eyes and concentrating. He hesitated for a moment, lowered his head slightly and said, "My brother is a little strange."

"Yang Lian is a knife."

Zhu Youxiao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "It's just that this knife is not suitable to be left in the court. When I saw him, I wanted to put this knife somewhere."

"It's just Yang Lian's identity~"

Zhu Youjian said a little puzzled.

"Identity is not important. Once a rift occurs, it will never be the same as before." Zhu Youxiao smiled, "Killing to stop killing is the most incompetent sign. How to kill and how to kill can achieve the desired goal. This is Basically, I want to use this knife to cut into the rat-infested river first!!"

"Then Zuo Guangdou is left here because he is proficient in water conservancy?"

Zhu Youji thought of something and said what he thought.

"good."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe, picked up the tea cup at hand, and took a sip, "Yang Lian's knife is sharp, but he is too pragmatic. He Zheng cannot be cut open by just a few impeachment memorials." Yes, and Zuo Guangdou is another sword that I gave Yang Lian."

"What should they be afraid of?"

Zhu Youjian said worriedly: "After all..."

"Then take away their fear."

Zhu Youxiao smiled half-heartedly and put down the tea cup in his hand, "Don't they like fame and talk about benevolence, justice and morality? Then I will hold them up so high that they will not be able to get down."

Once this person has concerns, he must consider the pros and cons.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to change for the better, the government must be rectified, but it is extremely difficult to rectify the government. In the officialdom, a lot of things can be ruined by just being harmonious. I am going to work on the river administration to change some of the atmosphere. "

Zhu Youjian seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand, but he did know a little bit. What his royal brother wanted to do, I was afraid that when it really came to fruition, how many people would die, and even cause a stir in the court. Amazing trend...
