Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changxun were stunned on the spot.
After a while.
Zhu Yijun turned to Prince Zhu Changxun and asked, "Did you go to a brothel?"
The prince shook his head and said: "No! Father, son and minister, absolutely not!"
Zhu Yijun asked deliberately: "Really?"
"At your current age, it stands to reason that you should start to be interested in things between men and women."
"Father, Emperor Mingjian!"
"Even if I really want to go to that kind of place to have fun, I should be cautious. How can I change the clothes on the outside but not the clothes on the inside, and keep them there?"
The prince replied at this time.
Zhu Yijun replied: "Of course I am willing to believe you, but people in the world may not necessarily believe you. After all, most people in the world don't care whether the facts are true or not. They only care about the pros and cons and believe what they want to believe, even if they This conclusion that I would like to believe is actually full of loopholes.”
"But I really don't have one!"
The prince said excitedly at this time.
Zhu Yijun said loudly: "I know!"
"But now, what you should be thinking about is not how to prove whether you have it or not, but what you should think about when this suddenly happened and what the people behind it want to do!"
Then, Zhu Yijun began to give the prince serious advice.
He hoped that the young prince would realize as soon as possible that he was a political figure and was born with political influence. In such a circle, he could not only consider right and wrong like a scholar, but should learn to see clearly. The stakes behind this.
Although Zhu Yijun has been teaching this to the prince since he was a child.
But Zhu Changjun is sixteen years old after all. He may be as smart as Jiajing and wake up early, but it is inevitable that he also has the same youthful mentality as Jiajing when he was young. Even if he gets angry, he will dare to hold hundreds of ministers in court.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun needs to remind the prince from time to time.
but.
Zhu Yijun himself was actually not much better.
You know, he just traveled back in time. Although his mental age is already more than 20 years old, when he first came to the throne, he was so impulsive that he ordered Li Rusong, Ma Gui, etc. to kill all the officials who forced him to depose Zhang Juzheng. Kill him. If Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun weren't willing to take the blame for him, his behavior at that time might have landed him in the water.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun can also understand the prince's current mood.
It's really not a good feeling to be slandered.
What's more, the prince has been supported by the people around him since he was a child, and he has never suffered any grievances.
Therefore, for the prince, this may be the biggest grievance he has suffered in his life.
The prince also understood what Zhu Yijun meant, so he didn't say anything more and just said yes.
"You go down first and calm down."
"Since the storm is coming, we should deal with it calmly!"
Zhu Yijun continued to give instructions.
"I'm going to leave you there!"
The prince left Zhu Yijun's place and returned to his east palace with a sullen face.
"Master!"
When Yang Rong, the eunuch beside the prince, saw the prince coming back, he hurriedly called out and ran over. After noticing that the prince looked bad, he held his breath and concentrated again.
The prince looked at the eunuchs around him, his brows gradually furrowed, and suddenly he snorted hysterically, then went directly to the garden, shouting: "Don't follow!"
"yes!"
Next.
The prince was wandering alone in the garden and thought deeply: "To be able to pour such sewage on me, there must be someone planted by my side! I just don't know who planted it. It's really hateful!"
"Could it be Lao Er and the others?"
Thinking of this secretly, the prince gritted his teeth and then raised his head to look at Tiandao:
"But it doesn't seem to be important anymore. As my father said, someone insists on acquitting me with the crime of lewdness and adultery. My explanation has no effect. I can only admit it, or I have to admit it even if I don't admit it."
When the prince thought this, he clenched his fists.
A few days later, Chen Yuwen also smiled triumphantly at Sun Lusheng and said:
"It has been spread in the market that His Highness the Crown Prince is a libertine, very dissolute, and cares about human life, and has no benevolent heart."
"Do you believe it?"
Sun Lusheng asked with a smile.
Chen Yuwen said at this time: "Of course I don't believe it, but as long as someone is willing to believe it, that's fine."
"It doesn't matter if someone wants to believe it, your Majesty must believe it!"
Sun Lusheng replied.
Sun Lusheng's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Chen Yuwen's head, causing Chen Yuwen to wake up instantly and nodded:
"You are right. This can at best prove that the prince is not worthy, but whether he is a direct descendant or a worthy one depends on the Holy See."
"However, this matter may also allow Your Majesty to better understand His Highness's ability to deal with this matter, and it may really breed the desire to depose the Crown Prince."
Sun Lusheng said with a frown.
After hearing this, Chen Yuwen asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
"Throwing stones to ask for directions!"
"It's better to use this matter to impeach."
Sun Lusheng said with a smile.
Chen Yuwen also smiled and nodded.
Not a few days later.
Zhu Yijun really received a memorial to impeach the officials in the East Palace of the Crown Prince.
The official who impeached the prince was Li Keyou and Qin Shiheng.
Qin Shiheng said that he had heard that the prince often led concubines out of the capital, disturbed brothels, and became romantic. This was undoubtedly due to the many unscrupulous eunuchs in the East Palace who instigated the prince to do this. Furthermore, whether the officials in the East Palace were also incompetent , unable to remonstrate with the prince, and asked the emperor to remove all the eunuchs and officials in the East Palace, so as to prevent these incompetent and unscrupulous people from ruining the country.
Because this time was just a test, the first official to target the prince did not dare to impeach the prince directly, but only targeted the eunuchs and subordinate officials in the East Palace.
Of course, if the emperor really punishes the subordinate officials of the East Palace for this reason.
Then they would take advantage of the situation and say that the officials in the East Palace are all incompetent and immoral, and the prince they taught is not much better.
Zhu Yijun frowned at the memorial and said, "Go and call Zhang Jingxiu."
Not long after, Zhang Jingxiu came to the imperial court: "Your Majesty!"
"Close the net!"
"Take these people!"
Zhu Yijun threw the chapter on the table.
Zhang Jingxiu raised his hand and said yes.
During this period, Zhu Yijun was not idle either. He had long known through Jin Yiwei that some people were secretly fanning the flames.
However, Zhu Yijun deliberately let these people dance for a while, so that their heads could be exposed, so that they could be caught and made into a model.
If Zhu Yijun asked Jin Yiwei to take action from the beginning, these people would only shrink quickly.
For example, if Chen Yuwen only arrested people when he said that Xue Zongye should be established as a virtuous person at the beginning, then Chen Yuwen said that he was just making personal remarks, and the emperor could reprimand him in order to prevent chaos in the world, but it could not be said that he was deliberately assassinating the prince and violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun has been enduring it.
But now that some officials are beginning to throw stones at the situation, and there is a strong tendency to turn things that are fiction into reality, Zhu Yijun naturally has to ask Jin Yiwei to take action in time.
"According to the order, Wu Shi, the eunuch in Tidong Palace, went to the imperial prison for trial."
this day.
Jinyiwei commander Liang Feng brought a group of Jinyiwei to the East Palace and first controlled Wu Shi.
Seeing this, Wu Shi quickly took out a small porcelain vase.
Snapped!
Just one kick.
The small porcelain bottle in Wu Shi's hand fell to the ground.
Wu Shi himself was also detained by Liang Feng himself.
"You think of us who have returned from the battlefield as freeloaders, and you still dare to play tricks on us."
Liang Feng said with a smile.
Wu Shi shouted to several eunuchs who were also the prince's chamberlains and were under his control: "Which of you is Jin Yiwei Xizuo, and who is!"
None of these little eunuchs answered.
Wu Shi had no choice but to close his eyes.
at the same time.
Chen Yuwen, Sun Lusheng, Xue Zongye and others were also arrested by Jinyiwei.
"What are you doing?!"
"Who asked you to come?!"
"You came on an order? What have I done? Why should I be arrested?"
Chen Yuwen was the most excited when he was arrested by Jin Yiwei. After yelling and screaming, he looked at his family members around him: "Which of you betrayed me? Which of you betrayed me!"
The reason why Chen Yuwen asked this was because all his conversations could only be known by his most trusted family members.
Because it is impossible for others to know about him when he talks about very confidential topics with some colleagues.
"Why are you doing this!"
"Are you still a family if you do this?"
Chen Yuwen asked loudly.
But Chen Yuwen's family members didn't say anything and just watched in silence as Chen Yuwen was taken away.
After Chen Yuwen and others were caught and imprisoned, Zhang Jingxiu personally interrogated these people and said to these people: "You are really brave. You dare to do such a thing even though you know that I, the Jin Yiwei, have extensive spies."
"We didn't expect that you, Zhang Siwen, would develop your influence on our family members!"
Chen Yuwen said coldly.
Zhang Jingxiu smiled and said: "What's so strange about this? The more conservative you are, the more your family members are willing to be Jin Yiwei's spies. As for the reason, you should understand."
"good!"
Chen Yuwen smiled, and then replied, "The times have really changed. A son selling his father, a wife selling her husband, it doesn't matter anymore."
"You want the emperor to misunderstand the prince, or you want the prince to betray the emperor. Is that correct?"
Zhang Jingxiu asked at this time.
Chen Yuwen was speechless.
Zhang Jingxiu then said: "Interrogate Wu Shi first!"
Wu Shi said at this time: "I'm telling you, I stole the prince's underwear, and they deliberately pushed the woman from Nuanchun Tower to death, in order to cause the fact that the prince was promiscuous."
After saying that, Wu Shi closed his eyes and said, "If I had known that you bastards would betray me, I wouldn't have done it at all."
"What's the use of saying this."
Chen Yuwen laughed and said something, and then looked at Zhang Jingxiu:
"People named Zhang, don't be complacent. There will be no easy consequences for going against the people of the world!"
"Even if you are the prince Zhaoxue, as long as the people in the world are unwilling to believe that the prince is wise, then the prince cannot be wise!"
"The more serious you, Zhang Jingxiu, are, the more you will be considered to be part of the prince's party, and sooner or later the emperor will doubt your position as a close minister, and then kill you, so you can take care of yourself!" (End of Chapter)
