It turned out that just two days ago, King Ji, who had been living in Hengzhou, was suddenly kidnapped by a group of unidentified people.
This group of people, all dressed in black and masked, took down all the palace guards without saying a word.
Someone wanted to run away, but the leader shot an arrow and nailed the man to the roadside on the spot!
Everyone in Prince Ji's palace was shocked when they saw this scene.
Fortunately, although these people are vicious, they only seek wealth and do not harm anyone.
After tying everyone up, he tortured King Ji for a long time and asked him where the treasures brought from Changsha were hidden.
How could King Ji tell these people the property he had accumulated over a hundred years?
He was rude at first, saying that he didn't bring anything with him, and then he was severely beaten, and then some toothpaste was squeezed out.
But this group of people didn't believe this at all, and they gave King Ji a good beating.
Finally, King Ji couldn't bear it any longer and took out all the gold and silver he had brought with him.
Unexpectedly, this group of people still didn't believe this, so they were beaten again.
But this time King Ji is really gone.
When he came out, he was on the run, all his money was in the bank, and he only had more than 20,000 taels with him.
The rest of the porcelain, calligraphy and paintings were looked down upon by these robbers.
He really couldn't take out anything else.
Until King Ji was beaten into a pig's head, the gang still couldn't ask for a confession. Finally, the robbers were afraid of the long nights and dreams, so they knocked King Ji unconscious and escaped with the treasure!
When Emperor Zhizheng heard this, he became furious: "Is the governor of Hengzhou a dead person? Why did he let the thieves enter the city in broad daylight? Why did the thieves torture Ji Fan for so long after entering the city without anyone noticing?"
The people around were silent, no one dared to speak.
After a long while, Chen Hong said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the thief said something before leaving, which is very suspicious!"
"What are you talking about?" Emperor Zhizheng stared at Chen Hong as if he were staring at a robber!
"That group of people said, [The money originally distributed to us by the imperial court was intercepted by these greedy feudal lords after they made trouble for a while. Since, since...]"
Emperor Zhizheng said coldly: "Say!"
"The robber said, [Since the court gave our money to the feudal king, we will get it back from the feudal king! We don't owe each other anything!]"
After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Zhizheng's face.
Emperor Zhizheng was shocked when he heard this.
Listening to this tone, are these people...
Wang Ji whispered from the side: "Master, could these people be the guardsmen besieging Changsha Mansion?"
Emperor Zhizheng closed his eyes, frowned and pondered.
The last time he summoned his cabinet ministers, after discussion, he decided to allocate part of the money awarded for the Battle of Hefei to distribute the money to each vassal first.
Now that the money has been distributed, I didn't expect that Changsha would get wind of it so quickly.
However, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The reward promised by the court actually failed to meet the promise. Who would be surprised if this happens without causing trouble.
But these brave people actually dared to take advantage of King Ji.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand to speak, but stopped as soon as he raised his hand halfway.
"Chen Hong, who heard what the thief said just now?"
Chen Hongdao: "Your Majesty, it's Prince Ji. Those people thought they knocked Prince Ji unconscious, so they said these words next to Prince Ji. But who knew that Prince Ji didn't faint, so they listened on the sidelines!"
Emperor Zhizheng suddenly smiled. His smile made the people around him confused and looked at each other in confusion.
Wang Ji said worriedly: "Master!"
Emperor Zhizheng waved his hand and said: "I'm fine!"
After saying that, he said to Chen Hong: "Go, go to the Ministry of Rites in person and tell the people in Prince Ru's Palace what happened in Prince Ji's Palace!"
"Yes, does the emperor have anything else to say to you?"
Emperor Zhizheng glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Chen Hong, do you know why Wang Ji is your ancestor?"
Chen Hong quickly knelt down and said, "I don't know."
Emperor Zhizheng no longer had the interest to continue talking, so he struck the bronze chime with the rain pestle, then stood up and returned to the altar.
Chen Hong knelt on the ground and was stunned for a long time. Seeing that he was not enlightened, Wang Ji ignored him and turned around and followed Emperor Zhizheng away.
………………………………
Wu Yurong finally looked impressive today.
Blocking the door of the Ministry of Etiquette was not enough, so another group of people went to the gate of the Ministry of War Yamen to mourn!
Xu Song, the person in charge, is a cabinet minister, so naturally he does not need to work in the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
But one of the main characters of this group is disgusting people.
It doesn't matter if the people from the Ministry of War Yamen come out and shout a few words. As long as they are holding the old prince's tablet, even the emperor won't care about it, right?
Just when Wu Yurong was sitting on a bench watching a crowd of royal family members waiting for the performance.
Suddenly, a group of people rode over from a distance.
Looking from a distance, I saw the first person wearing a red python robe, and behind him were a group of people wearing blue robes, red trousers, short-winged black gauze hats, and carrying swords at their waists.
"Yes, they are the Internal Army!" People around Wu Yurong reminded, "Sir, these people are the Internal Army!"
The internal military force was all formed by Kong's powerful eunuchs. Earlier, these people were the eunuchs in charge of the harem. Later, it was said that they also helped the emperor to spy on public opinion and spy on ministers.
Seeing these people rushing towards him, Wu Yurong stood up in fear, feeling uneasy in his heart.
However, he soon relaxed.
There are also chief assistants on the left and right to protect them, and they are members of the vassal mansion. The old prince's bones are still cold, so the palace will not do anything to them.
When Chen Hong arrived, he saw paper money all over the floor. His face suddenly darkened and he cursed secretly: "Bad luck!"
Looking at Wu Yurong who was coming towards him, he frowned and said, "Are you Wu Yurong, the left chief minister of your palace?"
"I wonder who your father-in-law is?" Wu Yurong quickly bowed!
Chen Hongdao: "The Sa family is walking in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and on the emperor's order, I bring you a message!"
Hearing that it was the emperor's will, the team that had just been crying and screaming all knelt down.
Chen Hong didn't talk nonsense and told what happened just now and what King Ji heard.
When Wu Yurong heard it for the first time, his mind was a little confused. He bowed again and said: "My father-in-law, what is the profound meaning of this sentence that the emperor asked you to tell me?"
Chen Hong looked like a fool and said, "The Emperor asked me to deliver a message. Did the Emperor ask me to explain it?"
"Father-in-law, this is not what I am..."
"There are no rules at all. Huh, what the Sa family has said is here. It's up to you how to deal with it!"
After saying that, he stepped on the back of a fan and got on the horse.
The group of people came and left just as quickly, leaving Wu Yurong standing there stupidly, at a loss.
After a long time, the crying sounded again.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yurong suddenly shouted: "Stop it!"
"Lord Changshi, are you going to stop crying?"
"You're crying, hurry up, ask people to evacuate the people from the Rites Yamen too!"
"ah?"
"Ah what? Hurry, hurry up, we are leaving Beijing today!"
When all the people present in Prince Ru’s palace heard this, they were all dumbfounded!
