Emperor Chenghua moved to Qianqing Palace, where he summoned Huaien and had a formal dialogue that was recorded in history.
Emperor Chenghua said solemnly to Huaien: "I have made up my mind to depose the crown prince Zhu Youtang and make Prince Xing the crown prince. It is scheduled to be issued in January next year on the occasion of the imperial concubine's fifty-eighth birthday."
"Wynn, don't protect the prince anymore!"
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not able to do whatever they wanted. Of course, except for the two emperors Hongwu and Yongle.
The civil service clique would restrain the emperor.
Fat Huai Enjiu has been in charge of rites for more than 20 years, and he has gathered a civil service force in the court that cannot be underestimated.
This force surrounded the prince and protected him.
In order to successfully abolish Chu, Emperor Chenghua must first persuade Huaien to stop protecting the crown prince.
As soon as Emperor Chenghua finished speaking, Huaien ignored the etiquette and raised his head, looking directly into the emperor's eyes: "I respectfully ask your Majesty to kill this old slave."
Emperor Chenghua frowned: "What do you mean?"
Wynn replied loudly: "If the old slave is loyal to you, he must be loyal to your eldest son! He will never betray him!"
"Abandoning the elders and establishing the younger ones has been a taboo of all dynasties!"
Chenghua Emperor Long Yan was furious: "Are you teaching me how to be an emperor? Do you want to die? I will help you!"
There is no fear in Wynn's eyes, only perseverance!
This fat, loyal eunuch said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Today I will protect the crown prince, and the emperor will kill me."
"If I don't protect the prince today, everyone in the world will kill me in the future!"
At this time, Wynn claimed that he was no longer an "old slave", but "I"! An "I" who maintains conscience and dignity!
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chenghua's dragon roar erupted: "You are deceiving the sky!"
After saying that, the furious Emperor Chenghua grabbed an inkstone from the dragon table and smashed it at Huaien.
Not only did Wynn not hide, but he used his big head to greet him!
The history books recorded Wynn's action in four words - "carrying the inkstone with the head"!
"Bang!" Wynn's big head was immediately hit with blood.
Shang Ming heard the noise in the hall and walked in quickly. He scolded Wynn: "Wynn, how dare you offend Long Yan?"
Wynn covered his head and said seriously: "Although I am a rootless person, I know that the words loyalty and filial piety are more important than Mount Tai!"
Emperor Chenghua said angrily: "Okay! You are a loyal and filial person! Then I will transfer you to serve as the emperor of Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing and fulfill your filial piety to Taizu Sixiang!"
Fengyu is the sixth rank among eunuchs. Wynn was almost beaten to the end.
Huaien kowtowed: "I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness! I will definitely report the emperor's achievements of working hard to govern and caring for his eldest son to the great ancestor at the Xiaoling Mausoleum!"
Emperor Chenghua was so angry that he said, "Get out!"
After Huaien left, Shang Ming lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, Huaien is extremely rebellious and contradicts the emperor. Why don't you let the Jinyi guards cut him off?"
Emperor Chenghua stared at Shang Ming: "Shang Ming, remember, if Huai'en dies in a daze, I will be the first to bury you with him!"
Although Emperor Chenghua was henpecked, indecisive, and lazy in politics, he was not confused.
Since he was favored in the third year of Chenghua and managed the capital camp, his achievements in the past twenty years have been known to everyone in the world, including Emperor Chenghua.
The disagreement over the abolition of Chu was not enough for Emperor Chenghua to kill him and gain the reputation of "killing a virtuous eunuch in vain".
Besides, people all have feelings. Huaien has served the emperor for more than twenty years, how can there be no feelings between master and servant?
Being sent to Xiaoling was the biggest punishment that Emperor Chenghua could think of for Huaien.
Wynn was demoted.
Huaien knew that Emperor Chenghua was determined to depose the prince this time. He would demote everyone around the prince far away.
Eventually, the prince will be left alone and helpless. Sad acceptance of the fate of being deposed.
Now, the only hope is the counterattack plan!
Wynn wrote a letter to Chang Feng who was far away in Tai'an.
The general content of the letter is that if Chang Feng cannot cause a disaster within three months. The prince is finished, the people around the prince are finished, and Chang Feng is finished too!
Wynn judged that he was safe for the time being, at least safer than Chang Feng. Therefore, when he was demoted to Nanjing this time, he took Tangtang with him and did not send Tangtang to Tai'an.
Five of Wynn's trusted cavalry regiments went straight to Tai'an to protect the letter...
At the same time, the Confucius worship ceremony in Qufu has ended.
Chang Feng hasn't received the letter yet, and he doesn't know about the changes in Beijing.
He was enjoying a comfortable time in the ritual house. He spent the whole day pushing horse tags with Liu Jin and his men. I go to Confucius Mansion every now and then to enjoy the autumn breeze.
At noon that day, the Great Wall Formation was put up again at the ceremony site.
Chang Feng took a "Yaoji" and slapped it on the table: "Touch yourself! Grand slam!"
Liu Jin smiled and said: "Chang Baihu is going to kill everyone again today."
At this moment, Fatty Xu walked in quickly.
He took a sip of water and cursed: "Damn, this is the first time I've heard such outrageous rumors."
Chang Feng asked: "What rumor?"
Fatty Xu said: "Many people in the teahouse said that Duke Yan Shenggong raped a maid named Nian'er."
"The maid was four months pregnant. Duke Yan Sheng didn't want to give a lowly maid a status. He simply found a plate-catcher and married the maid off."
"Then, Confucius's spirit in heaven came to know about Yan Shenggong's behavior. Confucius sent an evil dragon to circle around the Confucius mansion at night to warn Yan Shenggong."
Chang Feng slapped the table: "Nonsense!"
When Chang Feng first entered the Confucius Mansion, he knew about Nian'er's marriage. Kong Hongtai only has love for Nian'er, how can any man or woman be content with it?
The rumor was really terrible. It had been passed down seven times and spread like this. All the evil dragons came out.
Since Changfeng arrived in Tai'an, Kong Hongtai took great care of him. Chang Feng also gradually came to understand Kong Hongtai's character - generous, kind, and with the legacy of a saint.
Chang Feng heard this rumor and made a decision. He wanted to stand up for Yan Shenggong and severely punish those who spread rumors.
Chang Feng pushed the horse tag: "No fight! Fatty Xu, Eunuch Liu, let's go to the teahouse. I want to see who is spreading rumors!"
Two quarters later, in Qufu City, there was Zhixian Teahouse.
Chang Feng and the other three walked in and found a table to sit down at.
I only heard a few scholars at the next table chatting.
A scholar in white clothes took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "That Nian'er looks like a fish or a wild goose, and the moon is shy of the flowers. The front is bulging and the legs are long."
"She has been waiting in front of Duke Yan for a long time. How can Duke Yan not be moved?"
"At midnight this year, Mr. Yansheng drank too much. Wine is a match for sex, and he suddenly felt that he was profound."
"It happened that Nian'er was bringing him tea. The old man went up and took off Nian'er's horse-faced skirt, outer trousers, and underwear one by one! It was a good thing to press it on the desk."
"Later, Nian'er became pregnant. Duke Yansheng thought she was low and could not give her a status. He simply married her off."
"Think about it, when the maid gets married, does the Kong family need to give her a dowry of two thousand acres of land? She must be selfish!"
"Ahem, this matter was made known to Saint Kong in heaven. Saint Kong was so angry that he sent an evil dragon to wander around Confucius' residence in the middle of the night as a warning."
What the scholar in white said was clear and logical. The few scholars beside him nodded frequently.
Chang Feng was furious. These shameless literati are so serious about spreading rumors!
Chang Feng walked directly to the scholar in white and showed his waist badge: "Jinyiwei! Come with us!"
