Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 Chapter 190 Five: Wang Daoqiu traps Zhu Weixiao
After getting to know Shaanxi Wenwu at the governor's office, Wang Daoqiu said goodbye to Ge Shouli and went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.After all, in name only, King Qin was the highest-ranking official in the northwest region.

Because he had planned to shave his head at Prince Qin's palace, Wang Daoqiu shamelessly went to the door empty-handed.

When I arrived at the Prince of Qin's Mansion, I handed over my greeting card. The gatekeeper of the Prince of Qin's Mansion saw that it was the de facto leader of the Northwest who had arrived.Although Wang Daoqiu was empty-handed, he did not dare to neglect and hurried in to report.

Wang Daoqiu waited at the door for a while, and then the gatekeeper of Prince Qin's Mansion walked out with a middle-aged man.

The two came to Wang Daoqiu. The disciples of Prince Qin's Palace came over and wanted to introduce this middle-aged man to Wang Daoqiu. But when the words came to his lips, he seemed to be embarrassed and did not dare to introduce him. He just stood in front of Wang Daoqiu at a loss and embarrassment. Looking at the middle-aged man.

At this time, the middle-aged man, seeing that the disciple did not introduce himself to Wang Daoqiu, was so angry that he kicked the disciple aside.Then he introduced himself to Wang Daoqiu: "I, Zhu Weixiao, have met the Grand Tutor."

This king!Before Wang Daoqiu came, he had seen the royal archives in Xiyuan and knew that although Zhu Weiyu was the father of the current King of Qin, Zhu Huaicui, his request to be crowned King of Qin in place of his son had long been rejected by the court. His current official rank was Zhen. General, how dare he call himself "my king"?
Also, he calls himself "my king" in front of him. If he doesn't know how to count, he would really call him "the prince". Wouldn't this be a big joke?Even on the upper line, this is like Zhu Weixiao, despising the imperial court and going against the imperial court!Knowing this, Wang Daoqiu also hated this Zhu Weixiao.No wonder the disciples of the Prince of Qin's Mansion just hesitated and did not dare to introduce Zhu Weixiao. After all, how could the disciples introduce Zhu Weixiao's identity? Should he say that Zhu Weixiao was the general who ruled the country, or that he was the King of Qin?

With these in mind, Wang Daoqiu did not give in at all in the face of Zhu Weixuan's blatant provocation against the Ming court.Instead of Zhu Weixiao, Wang Daoqiu turned around and said to a group of guards in golden uniforms who were escorting him: "Write it down, Zhu Weixiao, the general of the country, met me and called himself the king."

"Here"

After receiving Wang Daoqiu's order, the flag officer of the team of Jin Yiwei guarding Wang Daoqiu hurriedly took out his impermanent book and wrote down what Wang Daoqiu told him.

When Zhu Weixiao saw Wang Daoqiu being so disrespectful, he was also furious. He pointed at Wang Daoqiu and began to curse: "Wang Liangzhen, what do you mean? Do you believe that this king has told you that you will not be able to get out of this street."

Zhu Weixiao was so angry that he openly threatened Wang Daoqiu in public, but Wang Daoqiu ignored him and turned back to the flag officer of the Imperial Guard: "Write it down, the general Zhu Weixiao claimed to be the king, and was still being criticized by the current Taifu, Wu Ying. After the great scholar Wang Daoqiu pointed out his mistake, he not only refused to repent, but also pointed at the Taifu Wang Daoqiu and cursed him, and even openly threatened Wang Daoqiu to commit murder. Also, if Zhu Weixiao has any more lofty words next, you There is no need to wait for my officer’s order, just write it all down for future evidence in court.”

"Here"

Damn it!Wang Daoqiu What does this mean?Not only did he refuse to give up, he also wanted to use Zhu Weixiao's words as evidence in court in the future.Then this is no longer a matter of not giving Zhu Weiyu face, but a matter of destroying Zhu Weiyu's place.

As soon as Wang Daoqiu's attitude became clear, Zhu Weixiao became even more irritated. Relying on his identity as the son of a dragon, he pointed at Wang Daoqiu without any fear. He made all kinds of dirty talk and made Wang Daoqiu go away. , saying that his Qin Prince's Mansion was not qualified for someone like Wang Daoqiu.

When talking about Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhu Weixiao used "my" before the word "Prince Qin's Mansion", and he also called the current Taifu and the cabinet's bachelors as bastards.Zhu Weixiao was seeking death like this, which made Wang Daoqiu feel happy.

So when faced with Zhu Weixiao's dirty words, Wang Daoqiu didn't talk back. He just smiled and waited until he finished scolding him, until he was panting and unable to scold anymore.Wang Daoqiu waved his hand to the imperial guards and ordered: "Come on, take down Zhu Weixiao."

"Here"

Jinyiwei specializes in teasing people and has rich experience in teasing people.So after they listened to Zhu Weixiao's heroic words here just now, they knew that as long as Wang Daoqiu pursues Zhu Weixiao's arrogant words just now, Zhu Weixiao will be guilty of a serious crime.

Knowing that Zhu Weizhen was about to turn into a dead dog, the Jinyi guards received Wang Daoqiu's order, and they rushed forward like wolves and tigers, regardless of the identity of Zhu Weizhen's sons and grandsons, regardless of Zhu Weizhen's desperate resistance and threats. Zhu Weixiao was tied up by Wuhuada.Then he escorted Zhu Weixiao and followed Wang Daoqiu into the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Wang Daoqiu was a great scholar of the current dynasty, an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, and represented the Ming Emperor and the Ming court. Behind him was a group of wolf-like and tiger-like guards.He tied up Zhu Weixiao, and the guards at the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion only dared to draw their swords and asked Wang Daoqiu to release Zhu Weixiao quickly, but none of them dared to go up.

At this time, Wang Daoqiu was not afraid of the sharp steel knives guarded by the Qin Palace. He did not believe that these people dared to chop him.So he led the way into Prince Qin's Mansion with a cold face and his hands behind his back.

After Wang Daoqiu entered the Prince of Qin's Mansion, the servants of the Prince of Qin's Mansion had already gone in to report the incident at the door to the current King of Qin, Zhu Huaicui.So when Wang Daoqiu and his entourage entered the middle courtyard of the Qin Prince's Mansion, Qin King Zhu Huaicui was already waiting there with a group of Prince's generals, holding swords and guns.

Zhu Huaizhen saw a young man in casual clothes, leading a large group of Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms, and a large group of soldiers wearing Ming Dynasty military uniforms, tying up Zhu Weifu, and entered the palace of Prince Qin with great momentum.Needless to say, Zhu Huaicui also knew that this young man should be Wang Daoqiu, who was ranked sixth in the Ming Dynasty and was the most aggressive official in the Ming Dynasty.So before Wang Daoqiu approached, Zhu Huaicui shouted at Wang Daoqiu: "Wang Daoqiu, you dare to lead troops into the palace of Prince Qin, aren't you afraid of Wang Daoqiu?"

Zhu Huaicui is very young. Wang Daoqiu has read the royal secret files and knows that Zhu Huaicui is 20 years old this year.Such a fledgling, despite the imperial decree, could not drive away even a straw bag like Zhu Weiyu, so Wang Daoqiu would naturally not be afraid of him.

So when he was about five or six feet away from Zhu Huaicui, Wang Daoqiu first bowed to Zhu Huaicui.After the ceremony, Wang Daoqiu asked with a serious face: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, is it you or your father who I confer as the King of Qin by the Ming Dynasty?"

"The imperial court, the king of Qin who was enthroned by the imperial court is of course my king. My father is just the general who governs the country. Wang Liangzhen, what is your intention in asking this?" Faced with Wang Daoqiu's knowing question, Zhu Huaizhen replied angrily.

After Zhu Huaicui finished answering, Wang Daoqiu hurriedly answered: "Your Majesty, since you are the King of Qin appointed by the imperial court, why did the general of Zhenguo call himself the king to me at the gate of the Prince of Qin's Mansion just now, and also said that the Prince of Qin's Mansion belongs to him? . Your Majesty, I remember that the imperial court clearly had a decree before, rejecting General Zhenguo's request to join the feudal state, and ordered General Zhenguo to return to his own fiefdom and not stay in the palace of Prince Qin. But why is he now in Prince Qin's palace? In the palace, you still face me, the current prince, a bachelor in the cabinet, and an imperial envoy under the emperor’s orders, and call yourself the king? Do you and your son privately grant and receive royal titles from the imperial court?"

Since Zhu Laosi's successful rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Laosi was deeply afraid that his brothers, nephews, and nephews would also imitate him and try to suppress him.Therefore, after Zhu Laosi became emperor, the Ming Dynasty not only deprived the vassals of most of their powers, but also strictly restricted their personal freedom. Without the emperor's imperial edict, leaving the fiefdom was a capital offense.

This is also the reason why so many princes of Zhu Ming were caught by the mob in the late Ming Dynasty.Because there was no imperial decree from Emperor Chongzhen, the vassal kings guarded the city, and they might succeed in defending the city, repelling the mob and fighting for a way out for themselves.

And if they dare to leave the fiefdom without Chongzhen's imperial edict, even if they are lenient afterwards and do not die, they will be imprisoned in the clan's mansion for the rest of their lives.Therefore, those vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty, before Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and before the Ming Dynasty still had Wang Fa, it was not that they did not want to run, but they did not dare to run.

Now Wang Daoqiu took this as an excuse and asked Zhu Huaicui why his father Zhu Weixiao was not in his fief but in the palace of Prince Qin.And this was even after the imperial court issued a special order regarding this.This is a blatant violation of the Ming Dynasty vassal management law and a blatant rebellion!

When Wang Daoqiu's well-founded accusation came down, Zhu Huaiyi immediately gave up. After all, his father, Zhu Weiyu, defied the decree and stayed in the Qin Palace. Although Zhu Weiyu was the principal culprit, he, Zhu Huaiyi, was also an accessory!After all, regarding this matter, he neither kicked Zhu Weixiao out of the Qin Palace nor reported it to the court.Once this matter was brought to trial by the clan, he, Zhu Huaicui, would not be able to escape the crime of covering up the crime.

Therefore, after Wang Daoqiu confessed his crime and gained righteousness, Zhu Huaizhen immediately gave up. He first asked the generals of the Prince of Qin's Palace to put away all their swords and guns.

Then Zhu Huaizhen complained to Wang Daoqiu with a sad look on his face: "Master Taifu, I am very annoyed when the general who governs the country lives in our Prince Qin's Palace! He regards himself as his master in the Palace of Prince Qin, and everything in the palace is decided by him. He always scolds me in front of the servants in the palace. Mr. Taifu, I really want him to return to his own fiefdom and let him return the Qin Palace to me. But no matter what he says, it is also me. His biological father! He doesn’t want to leave, so I can’t force him away, right?”

Well, Zhu Huaicui's complaints can be regarded as a good start for Wang Daoqiu's dog-eat-dog plan.So as soon as Zhu Huaizhen finished speaking, Wang Daoqiu pretended to be angry and scolded Zhu Weiyu who was tied up by Wu Hua Da: "General Zhenguo, you are so courageous. Not only did you resist the order and not return to your own fiefdom, you also occupied the palace of the Prince of Qin. , insulting the King of Qin. General Zhenguo, I have something to remind you. Although the King of Qin is your son, he is the emperor and a prince named by the imperial court. He represents the majesty of our Ming Dynasty."

"You dare to occupy the palace of the Qin Dynasty for a long time and bully the Prince of Ming Dynasty as the general of the country. And this is even after the court has issued an edict, clearly rejecting your request to become the king of Qin and letting you return to your fiefdom. General of the country, You are showing contempt for the imperial court and the emperor, and you are openly resisting the decree! If it is more serious, your actions will suffice if you intend to commit rebellion."

"Okay, I won't say much else. General Zhenguo, go to the capital by yourself and explain to the emperor and Lord Zongzheng why the imperial court has issued an edict clearly rejecting your request to be granted a title. When you return to your own fiefdom, do you still dare to call yourself the king in front of me, the current imperial tutor, a bachelor of the cabinet, and the emperor's imperial envoy? How dare you occupy the Prince of Qin's palace for a long time and insult the prince who has been ennobled by the imperial court? "

"General Zhenguo, if you don't mind being a prisoner in the Zongren Mansion for the rest of your life and still want to live, I would like to remind you that when you go to the capital to see the emperor and Lord Zongzheng, you'd better calm down your arrogant temper. , plead guilty, beg the emperor, and beg Lord Zongzheng. Otherwise, I dare say, you will not be able to escape a glass of poisonous wine."

Damn it!Wang Daoqiu made the consequences of this crime so serious that Zhu Weixiao was sweating on his forehead.If you have a bad confession attitude, you will get a glass of poisoned wine; if you have a good confession attitude, you will be imprisoned in the clan house until you die of natural causes.

But whether it's a cup of poisoned wine or being imprisoned in the clan's mansion until death, this is not what Zhu Weixiao wants!Not counting him as an unfilial son who refuses to give up the throne, not counting the property of the Prince of Qin that he may not be able to get, the thousands of hectares of fertile land under his own name and the annual salary of the general of the country are enough for him to be a groom every day. There was a lot of fun and debauchery.The sky is vast outside and the sex is perfect. Why would he want to be a prisoner in the clan's mansion?
Thinking about going to the clan's mansion, Zhu Weixiao is nostalgic for his current life.No matter what, even if he can't conquer Prince Qin's palace, he must at least retreat and return to his own fiefdom.

So now he was facing Wang Daoqiu's accusation, because he had already experienced Wang Daoqiu's toughness at the door just now.So Zhu Weixiao doesn't dare to provoke Wang Daoqiu now.

Therefore, Zhu Weixiao, trying to escape his guilt, angrily scolded Zhu Huaicui and said, "You traitor, don't talk nonsense in front of the Grand Tutor. The reason why my father lives in Prince Qin's Mansion is because you are useless and can't control Qin." This is a big deal in the palace, and I begged my father to stay here. Nizi, please quickly explain to the Taifu that it was you who asked my father to stay in this palace of Prince Qin, quickly!"
