little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 268
Prestige is such a strange thing, it needs to be accumulated bit by bit; but the accumulation over the years, but because of an incident, a decision, or even a little disturbance, it will instantly turn into quicksand and melt away.

It seems that Zhu Changluo is currently in such a situation. These days, the rumors of the crown prince covering up traitors have been raging, not only arousing the anger of all the courtiers, but even the prefectures and counties below are unwilling to be lonely.Although no one dared to impeach the prince boldly, the calls for immediate execution of Ye He had become a storm of wind and thunder.

The officials are jealous, but the common people are not used to mistakes, there is a lot of scolding in the market place, and the targets are all pointing at the prince without exception.

Ever since receiving the secret report from Jinyiwei, Wanli's face has always been iron blue. After a long silence, he suddenly slapped the table and said, "Pass the decree!" His experience told him that the emperor had already decided to give up his pawns to save the car, and use a Yehe to calm the anger of his subjects and preserve the prince's reputation. There is indeed no loss in this business, let alone this matter is imperative.

In October of the 20th year of Wanli, the ministers finally waited for the long-awaited decree from the present prince.The content surprised many people: Three days later, outside the Meridian Gate, Nalin Jiluo, the proton of the Yehe tribe of Haixi Jurchen, was given to death.

With this decree, a group of mature and prudent ministers headed by Shen Shixing stroked their foreheads to celebrate.Because right now, no matter whether in the court or in the market, they are all showing great anger at the Tartars' arrogance and violation of the country, but the prince they put the greatest hope on has not satisfied them as they imagined, and has been silent and doing nothing. It made many people puzzled from the beginning to extremely angry later.This decree came at the right time at this time, and all the rumors were instantly self-defeating.

But no one knew that when this decree was issued, the current crown prince Zhu Changluo was copying the ancestral precepts in the Dongji Hall of Qianqing Palace in a daze.

The ministers who asked to see the emperor at Zuoshunmen also received an imperial decree from Emperor Wanli.In the history of the Ming Dynasty, this Zuoshunmen was really an unlucky place.In the third year of Jiajing, it was at Zuoshunmen that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong captured all 130 four ministers who gathered here to ask for orders.

Back then, when Jin Yiwei surrounded him from all directions, blood flowed like a river in front of Zuo Shun's gate in an instant.The blood stains clearly showed Zhu Houcong's will, declaring the supremacy of the monarchy, and his will cannot be reversed.In the Zuoshunmen incident, all the ministers who were arrested were punished.The fourth rank and above took the salary, and the fifth rank received the stiletto stick. More than 180 people received the stick, 17 of whom were killed by the stick, and the other eight were recruited into the army.

Time may be able to remember for a long time, but it cannot erase the history that happened.All the ministers looked at Huang Jin in horror after the edict was announced. The eunuch seemed to be in a bad mood today... The round white and fat face lost its usual mellow smile, and the corners of its eyes slanted up. Glancing in disgust at the dozens of ministers who were kneeling on the ground looking at you, they said in a shrill voice: "From our point of view, my lords should go away. His Royal Highness has issued an order to arrest Ye He in three days." The hostess asked Zhan Meridian Gate, everyone must feel more comfortable." After speaking, the corners of his mouth pulled, and he sighed with a half smile: "Zuoshunmen is really not an auspicious place. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. It's not good to stay for a long time."

Huang Jin's words caused many ministers present to be exposed to the cold winter months in an instant from the golden autumn in October, and the supposedly cool autumn wind instantly became icy cold on their bodies.After seeing the goose wings lined up behind Huang Jin, wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives, the ministers who had vowed not to give up just now scattered like birds and beasts.

Three days passed quickly, and tomorrow is the day when Ye He will be beheaded for public display.During the past three days, the officials showed a calmness rarely seen in recent days, and they did not make trouble every day like before.But everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and everyone's attention was on the Ciqing Palace.

The crown prince did not come to the court for the past three days, and there was no movement in the Qianqing Palace. Everything was so quiet that it was almost eerie.

Today, all five assistant ministers in Wenyuan Pavilion were present. After Shen Shixing scanned around, he finally landed on Shen Xing's face, looked at him deeply, and said nothing.Li Tingji took a look at his ugly face, bit his head and said cautiously: "Mr. Shen Ge, Dali Temple Shaoqing Wang Zhicai has come to ask for an order. Should we send the official document for tomorrow's execution to Ciqing Palace or Qianqing Palace?" where?"

Glancing at Shen Shixing, who has become an old cloudy sky, he has been a partner for a lifetime. This is the first time Wang Xijue has seen such an ugly look on his old partner's face in the many years he has known him, and sighed: "This matter, Your Highness There is already an edict, so there is no need to ask for instructions, the official document will be issued by the cabinet, and you can notify the Ministry of Punishments, and everything will be carried out as usual."

Maybe it was too dark, and after nightfall, the heavy prison in Dali Temple became more and more cold and dark.

Ye He's martial arts skills are well known to everyone, and in order to prevent him from escaping from prison, the torture tools he brought were special [-]-jin shackles.The edge of the iron flail was extremely rough, and the hands and feet had already become red and swollen.

Today's dinner is very rich, with chicken, duck and a bowl of pine mushroom soup.

Looking at the guards who were carefully serving them, and the sympathy in their eyes, Ye He suddenly understood something, and after a long silence, he swept away like a storm, leaving the guards on the side dumbfounded, because the thirty The heavy instrument of torture seemed to be nothing, and it did not hinder his actions at all. Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, their admiration couldn't be further expressed in their hearts.

In the middle of the night, Ye He, who was sleeping wrapped in a big quilt, suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of star eyes flickered like stars in the sky: "...Why are you here?"

Zhu Changluo shook a key in his hand, and smiled at him: "With me here, you can't die."

Ye He suddenly laughed. In the dimly lit prison, Zhu Changluo discovered for the first time that his teeth were brighter than Ye He's eyes.

"Use this to open the shackles. With your skill, there is no difficulty in getting out of this place."

"You let me go, what do you do?" Ye He smiled calmly.

"I am the present prince of Ming Dynasty, what does it matter if I let you go?"

"I'm not leaving." Ye He sighed inaudibly: "It's only natural for my father and brother to take responsibility for this kind of thing. I am a proton, and it is also right to use blood to sacrifice those undead when something happens." After finishing speaking Then she turned around and lay down, put the quilt tightly on her head, and ignored him.

Wang An trotted in from the outside, and said urgently in a low voice: "Your Highness, we have to go out, Mr. Wang Zhicai is about to be overwhelmed." Looking at Wang An who was sweating profusely, Zhu Changluo knew that it would be wrong to stay any longer. Possibly, he turned around and rushed to the prison door and said in a deep voice, "If I were you, I wouldn't be foolishly waiting to die here. Why don't you go back to your Yehenala River and ask your father and brother why you did this?"

"If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid that there will be no firewood." Zhu Changluo gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw the guy who visibly shook when he heard his own words, but was still wrapped in a big quilt and said nothing. Thank you, I don't care."

If it wasn't for the prison door, he really wanted to rush in and kick this guy twice.Ever since Wanli ordered him to recite the ancestral precepts in Qianqing Palace for three days, in the name of learning to be under house arrest, if Wang An hadn't begged Huang Jin hard, he would have known that the matter had reached such an emergency, and he would have slipped out of Qianqing Palace. Go directly to Dali Temple.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, Wang An was really impatient, he understood that it was Jin Yiwei who was coming, and wished he could drag the prince and run away.Zhu Changluo didn't dare to procrastinate any longer. Wang Zhicai had already taken a great risk to let him in. Of course, it was no big deal for him to be exposed, but Wang Zhicai and the Dali Temple officials on duty today couldn't run away. The disaster of the fish in the pond.

"Remember your promise to me. If you die, who will find an antidote for me? I saved you not for you, but for myself. If you want me to die, then you die." The key was placed heavily on the door of the prison, and it made a crisp sound in the silent prison.

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Changluo drew back and left. When he ran to the door, Wang Zhicai, who was running around in a hurry, was sweating all over his face. When he saw him coming out, he was overjoyed and his voice changed: "Your Highness, come with me, Jin Yiwei!" The people in charge are already here, hurry up and follow Xiaguan to this side."

Zhu Changluo nodded, looking back at the last moment when he stepped out of the prison gate, his stern face suddenly relaxed, and his heavy footsteps instantly became brisk like the wind, because he had already seen The keys left at the prison door were nowhere to be seen.

After leaving the gate of Dali Temple, Wang An, who was in shock, looked flustered, and Zhu Changluo looked at the dark sky with a sense of loss, only to see a gust of wind blowing up a few fallen leaves and dancing with it, indescribably lonely and cold.

Wang An gently leaned forward, and comforted in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's go back quickly, it's fine with Mr. Wang, if it's too late, my master may not be able to hold it, look at his old arms and legs For the sake of it, I won’t be able to bear a few stilettos..." Wang An, who has grown a lot, will also be tempted, knowing that the prince is a soft-hearted man, and he tried this trick a hundred times. Sure enough, Zhu Changluo sighed, turned around and went up quickly. Get out of the chariot: "Let's go, go back to the palace."

Wang An was overjoyed, and quickly jumped onto the shaft of the chariot, and the tiger Benwei did not need to tell him to drive, he flicked the reins, and the chariot flew out like flying.

A lot of people broke into the cell suddenly, each holding a torch. The sudden strong light made Ye He squint his eyes subconsciously, but his hand holding the key was a little tighter. After his eyes adapted to the light, a group of chaotic people After the footsteps passed, a group of guards in Jinyi suddenly separated in two lines, and one person strode forward to the prison, stared at him with his head down, and said in a deep voice, "Are you that Lin Jiluo?"

Today is the day when the criminal Nalin Polo was executed, and it is also a day that many people care about.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, Zhu Changluo finally finished the three-day course of memorizing the ancestral precepts, and stretched out his hands expressionlessly, letting Tu Bi and Liu Zhu prepare his clothes for him, and prepare for going to court later.

Wang An hurried in from outside the door, with surprise and joy on his face: "Your Highness, the Lord Wang of Dali Temple urgently reported that Dali Temple was robbed last night, and Young Master Ye He disappeared." This news made Zhu Changluo's face uncontrollably fly across There was a look of joy, but only for a moment, the joyful expression instantly became dignified, and turned to look at Wang An, a little surprised: "Escaped from prison? Escaped?"

Wang An nodded: "Yes."

Just when there was an uproar in the Hall of Supreme Harmony about how Ye He escaped, Qianqing Palace and Wanli Palace were furious and ordered a thorough investigation.At this time, the phoenix chariot of Empress Dowager Li of the Palace of Compassionate Ning entered the Qianqing Palace, and after half a day, the Qianqing Palace finally became quiet.

The three large banners on Fushun City were swinging against the strong wind, making roaring noises like monsters.On a black steed under the city, Ye He stared blankly at the wolf head embroidered on the flag that was swinging in the wind and flickering for some time. He hissed a few times uneasily, raised his front hoof impatiently and kept stomping on the spot.

Ye He suddenly laughed, patted the restless war horse, and murmured comfortingly: "Don't worry, I can ask you right away."
