Chapter 92: Stop the King of Qin
Emperor Tianqi returned from the court and was very proud. He was anxious to share the victory of the morning court with Zhu Cheng, but he did not find Zhu Cheng in the bedroom. When he asked the eunuch, he found that they had gone to Cining Palace and asked the eunuch to invite the brothers Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian.
At this moment, Tu Wenfu, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, came in and said a few words to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian's face changed drastically and he said to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, something is not good. Zhu Cheng was captured in the clan's mansion. I heard that he caused great trouble again."
Emperor Tianqi did not care and said, "Parent Wei, don't be surprised. What a huge trouble. If I am protecting him, no matter how big the trouble is, it will be a little bit."
"He demolished the lobby of the clan mansion..."
"What, Zhu Cheng did such a rebellious thing?" Emperor Tianqi was furious and pushed hard. The Longshu case was overthrown on the ground. The precious ceramic vase on the table was washed and dropped on the ground. He fell to pieces. "I am arrogant because of my favor, and I am arrogant because of my favor! I am passed on my will..."
The emperor of the Zhu family was very impatient and wanted to accomplish anything overnight. He was inevitably in a fit of anger to make some wrong decisions, such as the Ming Taizu's anger to kill the Qing official Daotong, the Ming Yingzong's murder of the loyal minister Yu Qian, the Ming Xizong's mistakenly killed the good general Xiong Tingbi, etc. Moreover, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty had a particularly strong temper. Under the instigation of the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party, he rewarded Xiong Tingbi a punishment that was unprecedented and uncommon to the future. The head of the head of Jiubian was to cut off his head and give the soldiers to watch the nine border towns of Jiubian (Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu, Jizhou, Shanxi, Guyuan).
"Your Majesty, Zhu Cheng doesn't seem to be such a reckless person. Are there any hidden secrets in it?" Wei Zhongxian persuaded carefully. Just kidding, Zhu Cheng is his serious grandson, who is responsible for the responsibility of inheriting the Wei family's family. If he accidentally cuts it off, he will not take advantage of his godson. If he doesn't save him, he will cry even if he lies into the grave.
"That's right. You heard Tu Wenfu's report just now, so I asked him to tell me."
Tu Wenfu shook all over. He was really afraid of reporting the situation to Emperor Tianqi. The bag on his head had not disappeared yesterday, so now he is here again?
Fearing that there was nothing he could do, he said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I don't know the specific situation. This morning, I suddenly heard the sound of muskets in Cining Palace. I thought there was an assassin, so I hurried to check it out. But I found that Zhu Cheng was there, holding a musket with blue smoke in his hand."
Emperor Tianqi's eyes were bloodshot: "Does Zhu Cheng actually dare to thrust the Empress Dowager?"
"No, no, Zhu Cheng did not have Empress Dowager Xingla."
"Then why don't you explain it clearly."
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Tu Wenfu kowtowed desperately, and the bag on his head was about to grow bigger again. Oh, it's not that I didn't make it clear, but that you didn't let me tell you.
"Speak on."
Tu Wenfu didn't dare to speak casually. Emperor Tianqi was too impatient and always liked to interrupt others in the middle, but blamed him for not saying it clearly. He organized some language and said, "Later I heard that it was Princess Shouning's housekeeper Liang Yingnu who colluded with Zhao Jinchao, the eunuch of the Baochao Department in the palace, who was the eunuch of the princess in the palace, who attacked and retaliated against his son-in-law Ran Xingrang, cut off the royal bloodline, and annoyed Zhu Cheng. He said that he would help his aunt to avenge Liang Yingnu and Zhao Jinchao. Zhao Jinchao wanted to escape, but in order to catch him, Zhu Cheng used a firearm."
Although Zhu Cheng wanted to vent his anger for Princess Shouning, he did not admit that she was his aunt at all. Tu Wenfu beautified Zhu Cheng this way, so he saw the thoughts of Emperor Tianqi. The emperor favored Zhu Cheng very much and hoped that he would become a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Saying bad things about him was purely a behavior of seeking death. It would be better to beautify him, and then the emperor, Wei Zhongxian, and Zhu Cheng can still remember his own good.
Sure enough, when Emperor Tianqi heard that Zhu Cheng fired the gun for Princess Shouning, he laughed: "Okay, if I were there, I would have to put a gun for seventeen or eighteen."
"Seventeen or eighteen guns, then Zhao Jinchao will no longer be frittered, it's so pitiful." Tu Wenfu said to himself.
"How did you get involved in the clan mansion later?"
"The gun hit Zhao Jinchao's leg. He was not dead. He also argued that he did not bully the princess and the prince-consort. Zhu Cheng asked the prince-consort to come to the palace to confront him, but the prince-consort was so angry that he actually bit Zhao Jinchao to death. The first shot had already alarmed the people in the clan mansion. Later, he heard that the prince-consort killed the mansion, so they came to the palace to arrest the prince-consort. Zhu Cheng was loyal and patted his chest and said that he had taken this matter down and that he was captured by the clan mansion."
"This little monkey, I help others take care of everything. He is so small, can he bear so much blame and so much thunder?"
Wei Zhongxian quietly reminded Emperor Tianqi that Zhu Cheng had once helped Emperor Tianqi take the blame two years ago, and said that his brothers were used to carry thunder.
Emperor Tianqi remembered the past and said with a smile: "This Zhu Cheng has so many things, it's true. How did he demolish the clan mansion later?"
"I don't know this slave, but I heard that more than 20 yamen runners of the clan mansion besieged Zhu Cheng, Wu Huping and Prince Xin were beaten to pieces. Later, the King of Qin went to the Five City Military and Masjids to borrow soldiers from the East Factory. When the general led the troops saw that it was Zhu Cheng, he turned around and left. The funniest thing was to borrow soldiers from the Jinyiwei, and the one who borrowed them was actually Chen Guoqi, the subordinate of Zhu Cheng..."
"What, the King of Qin is so brave. He actually dares to besiege my brother and prosecutor. Is there any emperor in his eyes? I will send an order to summon the King of Qin into the palace. I want to ask clearly."
"Emperor," Wei Zhongxian interrupted again, "I think it's better to ask Zhu Cheng for a clear question first."
People are always used to preconceived ideas. If the King of Qin first talks first, Zhu Cheng will inevitably be a little passive. Wei Zhongxian was able to get into the position of eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, who was overwhelmed by him, became the most powerful eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. His understanding of people's hearts can be said to be at a slightest level. How could he not understand this truth? So he said it in a timely manner.
Emperor Tianqi was a little indifferent and said, "Then let's announce it together, there is no need to distinguish between the order, who will come first, who will say first. The King of Qin is a clan relative, and Zhu Cheng is also a clan relative. Who will say first, who will say later, isn't it the same? Wei partner, please send someone to spread them into the palace."
Wei Zhongxian went out and called Li Yongzhen to tell him to go quickly to report Zhu Cheng and his party to the palace, and quietly told him to try his best to hold on to the King of Qin and let him come later, the better.
Li Yongzhen understood the truth and rode a fast horse to the clan mansion to pass the imperial edict.
When I went to the gate of the sect’s mansion, I saw that the King of Qin was still stunned.
Li Yongzhen jumped off the horse, took out the imperial edict, and shouted: "The emperor has an imperial edict!"
The King of Qin, the officials of all sizes and yamen runners knelt down together.
Li Yongzhen didn't see Zhu Cheng and asked, "Where is Zhu Cheng? This imperial edict was sent to the King of Qin and Zhu Cheng, and no one else could be missing."
The King of Qin said: "Zhu Cheng was locked in the sect's mansion and could not be released. He is so fierce..."
"Is it you big or the emperor big? Let it go and listen to the will of the Lord together."
The King of Qin had no choice but to order the yamen runners who managed the keys to open the door.
Zhu Cheng and his group walked out of the door calmly, and all the yamen runners couldn't help but kneel behind and crawled for a few steps. They were afraid of Zhu Cheng and the others.
When Li Yongzhen saw Zhu Chengzhan, he smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, the emperor has a will."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian knelt down with the Jinyiwei. Under Zhu Cheng's training, the Jinyiwei of the Huangzhuang stood in a row and sat in a row. When they kneeled down, they were still horizontal and vertical.
Li Yongzhen couldn't help but praise: "It turns out that he is the most powerful army in the world. This team is lined up... tsk, tsk. King Qin, look at the yamen runners you lead, why is the gap between people so big?"
The King of Qin was so angry that his face turned pale, but he had no words to refute, so he had to lower his head and not speak.
Li Yongzhen ignored him and spread the yellow silk and said, "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said, "Zhu Yi-han, King Xuan Qin, Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Cheng, the left chief of the Xinwang Mansion, quickly entered the palace without delay. I will not be delayed."
After reading the imperial edict, Zhu Cheng raised his head and Li Yongzhen gave a wink. The meaning of this wink is very complicated, and no matter how smart Zhu Cheng is, he can't guess what it means.
Seeing this, Li Yongzhen pretended to help Zhu Cheng up and said quietly in his ear: "Eunuch Wei ordered you to take the lead and enter the palace quickly. It would be best to try to delay the Qin King's actions."
Zhu Cheng stood up and said, "I am very angry, and the consequences are very serious. How many things I have to deal with every day? I was locked in the sect's mansion for a few hours, and how many things have been delayed. I said, "How do you compensate me? Go up and beat me hard."
When the Jinyiwei got the order, he picked up his iron spear and went up to beat the yamen runners. Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi were about to rush in front, but Zhu Cheng pulled his clothes. One wanted to rush and the other pulled them back. When he heard a "cry" sound, the two of them pulled a big hole in their clothes.
Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi looked back and found that it was Zhu Cheng, so they couldn't say anything, so they looked at him with questioning eyes.
Zhu Cheng smiled awkwardly and whispered: "I'll talk about the clothes later. You two rushed forward and don't hit others. You just hit the sedan chair carrier. You don't hit their legs too hard. Just hit them hurt, and you can't interrupt them."
Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi were unhappy with their intentions, but they were unable to violate the military orders, so they rushed towards the sedan chair carrier.
The sedan chairman was just watching the fun, so how could he think of disaster falling from the sky? When his legs hurt, he saw that the two Jinyiwei were beating them.
They shouted, "I called the wrong one, I called the wrong one, we are just carrying the sedan chair, not the yamen runners."
Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi felt sorry for this torn flying fish suit. They could not find anyone to take revenge, so they had to vent their anger on the sedan chair bearer and beat him harder.
When the King of Qin saw Zhu Cheng coming out, he immediately said to Li Yongzhen: "Father-in-law, look at it. Zhu Cheng is really fierce. Stop him quickly, otherwise my subordinates will be destroyed."
"What happened? Why can't I see it?" Li Yongzhen looked up at the sky, looked disdainful, stretched out his right thumb and index finger and rubbed it in front of the King of Qin.
The King of Qin understood and was extremely angry, but he asked Li Yongzhen for help, so he took out a silver coin and handed it over. Li Yongzhen looked down and looked up again to continue looking at the sky, his thumb and index finger were still rubbing.
The King of Qin took out another silver coin.
It was not until five silver coins that Li Yongzhen spoke, "Zhu Cheng, it's almost enough, don't cause any death."
Zhu Cheng saw that the sedan chair bearer's legs seemed to be almost beaten, and then he said loudly: "Enough, we're leaving."
Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian led the Jinyiwei away, and the suffering of the yamen runner and the sedan chair bearer was over.
The sedan chairmen always thought they had suffered a disaster in the pond fish, but they didn't know that they were Zhu Cheng's target and the yamen runners were the pond fish.
When the King of Qin goes to the palace, he must ride in a sedan chair. If the leg of the sedan chair driver is broken, the King of Qin will definitely change the sedan chair. If he only injured the sedan chair driver, the King of Qin may not change the sedan chair driver. Besides, everyone is injured at the scene, where will he go to change the people?
Sure enough, the King of Qin ordered these sedan chairmen to carry him into the palace. Li Yongzhen was afraid that he would find that the sedan chairmen were walking too slowly, so he chatted with him.
In this way, the first group of Jinyiwei who came to the palace were naturally the Jinyiwei who marched all the way.
