Chapter 1703 The king is guilty! I am a benevolent king!
Datong Imperial City, Chengyun Hall.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who returned in victory, has now entered Datong City, entered Prince Dai's Mansion, and is still sitting high in the Chengyun Hall, the main hall of Prince Dai's Mansion.
Chengyun Hall is the main hall of the Prince's Mansion. It is extremely gorgeous and impressive, with seven rooms in width, green glazed tiles covering the roof, and wall pillars painted red. The base of the hall is made of white marble, six feet nine inches high, and divided into two floors.
The palace is even more magnificent, with arches on the roof, a dragon in the middle, decorated with gold powder, and eight auspicious flowers on the side.
In addition to the extremely grand construction of the Chengyun Hall, other buildings in the Datong Palace are also in good repair. Although they are not as luxurious and solemn as the Imperial Palace, they are not much different, and some places are even better...such as Dai
The walls of the palace!
Unlike the walls of the Imperial City of Beijing and the Forbidden City, which do not have much defensive function, the walls of Daiwangfu are real city walls, high and thick, not much different from the walls of Datong Town.
Moreover, Datong Imperial City occupies a small area, similar to the three gates outside Datong City, which is very conducive to defense.
Guarding such a castle, there are also the impregnable Datong Town outside, and the Northeast and South Sanguan City. It is really a layer of protection, and it is foolproof!
In addition, there are not many residents in Datong City who eat, which means that it does not require much food to allow Datong Castle to persist under the siege of the enemy.
With such a castle, the acting king Zhu Dingwei actually came and left without a fight... And his son was not much stronger. When Li Zicheng called, didn't he fail to withstand it?
Zhu Youjian, who is sitting in the Chengyun Hall, is really getting angrier the more he thinks about it! You people are not worthy of being the current king at all! Only my unborn third son Zhu Cijiong can be the current king of the Ming Dynasty!
"Humph!" Zhu Youjian snorted coldly, and the group of civil and military personnel standing in the main hall all trembled.
This little emperor was so cruel! Not only did he kill Wei Zhongxian with his own hands, but he also beheaded the most powerful Mongolian warrior, and almost captured the Mongolian Khan alive... That was the emperor who really charged into battle, the master who killed without blinking an eye!
It looks like the Dai Wang family is going to be in trouble!
"The king is guilty! The crime is extremely heinous!" Zhu Youjian roared angrily, "I fought hard against the Tartars on the front line and protected his ancestral graves for him. It would be better for him to grease his feet and escape first! Is he worthy of being the king of Sai? You all tell me,
Is he worthy of being the King of Sai of the Ming Dynasty?"
This question... none of the courtiers present knew what to say.
Because the performance of the acting king Zhu Dingwei is not the normal performance of a Ming Dynasty vassal king?
What is really abnormal is not the acting king, but you, long live the Lord!
The emperor of peace behaved improperly. He personally trained and led the troops, and even led tens of thousands of people to the front line of Datong to fight against the Tatars. This is not a normal emperor of tomorrow!
Moreover, you, this abnormal emperor, do not sit in the rear and command, but act as the vanguard yourself, leading thousands of men to fight against the Tatars... This is too chaotic!
What’s even more abnormal is that such a messy emperor as you actually defeated the Mongol Khan!
Rather, they used only 20,000 troops to defeat the 100,000-strong Mongolian army that invaded the Han tribe!
What's even more exaggerated is that for this battle, you personally arranged the troops and faced the battle in a duel. You led the charge and even used the cannon, and you used it very well!
Who did you learn this skill from? Can your lecturer Kong Yunzhen teach you this?
But even if you are not normal, why do you still want to drag a group of princes and eldest sons in Datong Town to go to the battlefield together? This is not going to the city wall to supervise the battle, but going out of the city to fight the Tatars!
As a result, King Dai and several other kings were scared away... That's right! If you didn't run away, I would have to follow you to the battlefield to kill the Tatars. If you have the courage, you are not the Ming Dynasty prince.
Instead, it’s Lord Baylor of Jianzhou Jurchen next door!
The so-called justice lies in the heart of the people. Although most of the courtiers in the palace are traitors, their conscience has not been exhausted. No one dares to help Zhu Youjian to frame the vassal... Framing the vassal is a serious crime! Even if you, the emperor, are about to grow up.
If you live to be a hundred years old, you can always protect everyone. It is not easy to have a bunch of imperial censors impeach and criticize you every day!
Seeing that all the courtiers in the palace were pretending to be mute, Zhu Youjian had already understood that you, a bunch of treacherous ministers with no talent, didn't dare to trap the vassal, they were all afraid of being impeached by the censor, right?
The current ministers in the palace, except for Man Gui and Zhang Yiming, who are local officials in Datong Town, all the others followed Zhu Youjian from Nanhaizi Camp.
They didn't dare to speak, which meant that although the acting king Zhu Dingwei was wrong to run away, everyone believed that it was for a reason and should not be punished severely. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the public. But it doesn't matter. Zhu Dingwei can continue to commit crimes. Wait until he commits more crimes.
I can justifiably cut down the feudal vassal and confiscate the family!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian said in a gloomy tone: "It is an unforgivable crime for the king to abandon the vassal and run away, but I am a benevolent king after all, and I still show some kindness outside the law."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, no one wanted to get involved in the feud!
Zhu Youjian said to Zhang Yiming, the governor of Datong: "Zhang Futai, do you know where Dai Fan went?"
"Your Majesty," Zhang Yiming said hurriedly, "I guess that Dai Fan should have gone to Hunyuan Prefecture. Because there were many Tatar cavalry to the east of Yuhe outside Datong City to attack the grass valley, Dai Fan did not have many guards, so he must have
Avoid them. If you can't go east, you will probably go south. In Hunyuan Prefecture south of Datong, there is Beiyue Hengshan Mountain. The terrain in the mountain is dangerous, and there are several yellow temples that can avoid Dai Wangfu. In the past years, there were many people who gave incense to the Huang Temple.
Money, of course you can help me if you are in trouble now. Moreover, Hunyuan Prefecture is still in Datong, so although the king is out of town, it is not too outrageous."
The Yellow Temple is a Lama Temple, and they are all ancient temples left over from the Yuan Dynasty. Because the Mongolians on the grassland all believe in Lamas, they would never go to Lama Temples to kill people or set fire to them.
In addition, the vassal restrictions of the Ming Dynasty have been somewhat relaxed now. It is common for vassal kings to leave the city in the name of sweeping tombs and burning incense, or even staying outside the city for a long time.
Zhu Youjian nodded. Zhang Yiming's analysis was good, and he was a good candidate to be a guard. Unfortunately, he got the Jinshi exam and chose the wrong profession.
Zhu Youjian said again: "Zhang Futai, then you go and find Daifan's family and the princes. I will not punish him and will allow him to make meritorious deeds."
"Your Majesty, what does it mean to perform meritorious deeds by committing crimes?" Zhang Yiming asked.
Zhu Youjian nodded and said with a smile: "Now Hutu Dunhan has escaped to Tumotechuan, but I can't just let him go. I have done my duty to eradicate evil!"
So I am preparing to personally conquer the Tumote River! This time he should bring his descendants from the Dai vassal line to serve in the army, right?"
Serving before the army does not necessarily mean taking the lead, raising military rations, and recruiting civilians. It can also be regarded as serving before the army. In addition, the Daiwang family has been a prince for more than 200 years. He may have lost some integrity, but he still has money. At worst, he will lose money and avoid disasters.
!
Zhang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, and after receiving Zhu Youjian's imperial edict, he immediately left the palace, took his Fubiao battalion, left Datong City, and chased towards Hengshan Mountain.
But Governor Zhang, who was obsessed with peace, never thought that the acting king Zhu Dingwei was more capable of making mistakes than he imagined.
Just when Zhang Yiming was thinking about how to excuse the Wang family, this man committed a new crime. He committed the crime of "spreading rumors to confuse the public and curse the emperor", and he also found himself a few people who could convince the public.
witness!
It turns out that Zhu Ding, the king of the generation, ran away very fast. After leaving Datong City, he ran along the Yuhe River, then crossed the Sanggan River at the intersection of Yuhe River and Sanggan River, and then ran to Hunyuan Prefecture, hoping to take a temporary refuge in Hengshan Mountain (
Zhang Yiming really guessed it). But when he ran near the city of Hunyuan Prefecture, he bumped into Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Guobi, Luo Sigong, Luo Yangxing and other nobles from the capital.
The Beijing camp has sent reinforcements.
A group of nobles from the Beijing camp met the Datong princes who had fled, and of course they had to find out what happened!
