Prince Ning's Mansion.

Ning Wang Zhu Mianpei was sitting on a chair, his face looked like a happy one, but at this time, his face was full of anger.

Next to him was a eunuch appointed by the capital.

At this time, the eunuch was angrily scolding Han Yong who was standing next to him.

"Governor Han, you have overstepped your bounds. Your Highness, Prince Ning, can you come and question me?"

Han Yong looked at the eunuch, and then at Prince Ning.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, I have no authority to come here to hold people accountable, but today you have violated a taboo by sending people to coerce the people. I hope His Highness Prince Ning can restrain himself and stop harming the people, otherwise it will ruin the reputation of Prince Ning Xian." The reputation of Emperor Taizu Gao has also been damaged." Han Yong is a big hater, you are sorry for your ancestors by doing this.

He was indeed very angry. In his opinion, the vassal king had already been supported by the people, and what King Ning had done had gone too far.

He submitted the memorial himself and made the commotion known to the whole court. He was unwilling to restrain himself. If he left, no one in the local government would dare to ask.

No, even if I don't want this official position, I also want to make Prince Ning suffer. I don't dare to have evil thoughts against the tens of thousands of people in urban and rural areas.

When Prince Ning heard this, he was also very angry. I am the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, and the blood of Emperor Hongwu also flows in my body. In terms of status, I am no lower than the little emperor sitting on the dragon throne. Today I am going to be killed by a Do officials point their noses and curse?

What can I do wrong? It is not farming for whom the common people are farming.

And the most important thing is that my grandfather helped Zhu Di win the world. Emperor Taizong once promised to divide the world and rule it. Now he only wants a small town and rural area. Can they not bear it?

Divide the world and rule it, this sentence has always been the nightmare of Prince Ning's Mansion from its existence to its end.

Successive Prince Ning felt that it was unfair for Zhu Di's lineage to be the emperor and imprison them in Nanchang Mansion. However, this unfairness could only be buried in their hearts, and no one dared to go to the Emperor to honor it.

But there will always be fools.

His grandson Zhu Chenhao believed it.

Zhu Chenhao, also known as Zhu Weitian.

The fifth generation grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, he thought that my fate was up to me, so he began several years of preparations. He first bribed Liu Jin and others to restore the palace guards, and then began to contact the princes and counties.

Become bigger and stronger and take back what belongs to your ancestors.

But unfortunately, destiny cannot be violated. He met Wang Yangming, a boos-level figure in the Ming Dynasty, who became a stepping stone for others to make contributions.

After the failure, he was severely insulted by Zhu Houzhao...

"You are so presumptuous. Prince Ning is a member of the royal family. How can you, a foreign minister, be the one to reprimand you?" The eunuch beside Prince Ning said in a long voice.

Han Yong sneered: "Can the royal family and nobles ignore the king's law? What the foreign minister said today is just to remind Prince Ning that one day, when a disaster is imminent, he will wake up."

Zhu Mianpei couldn't help it. M.biQuge.biZ

He said: "Bold, this world belongs to our Zhu family. I am the blood of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. I am the most noble Prince Ning of the Ming Dynasty. I am one with the country. You, Han Yong, are tarnishing the Ming Dynasty by making such rude remarks." Guoti, please come and drive out this rude Han Yong."

Two soldiers from the palace appeared at the door. They walked to Han Yong and said, "Please, Lord Governor."

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning, I hope you can take care of yourself." After saying that, Han Yong turned around and wanted to leave.

He was so angry that he came here specifically to scold Prince Ning.

Who hasn't got any blood yet.

But a little eunuch ran over in a panic at this time.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

The eunuch next to King Ning reprimanded him: "It is unbecoming to be so flustered in front of His Highness King Ning. Tell me slowly."

"Yes, Eunuch Zhao, Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace and I want you to go to the middle gate to receive the order."

When Zhu Mianpei heard this, he was suddenly shocked.

Han Yong, who was on the side, sneered and walked out.

Han Yong was very confident at this time. It stands to reason that His Majesty sent the Jin Yiwei to investigate and stopped Prince Ning's palace from continuing to invade the fields. His heart should not be towards Prince Ning, so there is an 80% chance that this imperial edict is a reprimand.

After Han Yong walked away, Zhu Dianpei slowly said: "What's going on with the little emperor? Does he really dare to reprimand me?"

The father-in-law beside him was named Zhao Jier. He was the eunuch in charge of the palace who was appointed in the 13th year of Zhengtong. He didn't know much about Zhu Jianshen.

"Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor is your junior. He has not yet taken charge of the government. He should not issue an order to reprimand you."

"Nonsense, Han Yong reported, there is another imperial edict. It is not a reprimand for me, but a reward. I want to change my clothes. I want to see how I should reprimand this little emperor, the prince left behind by Emperor Taizu." After finishing speaking, , Zhu Mianpei sneered.

In fact, Zhu Mianpei was not a bad-hearted person. He was just a legitimate son and grandson after his birth. He had a noble status and had never experienced the fireworks of the world. Of course, he did not know the sufferings of the people.

He felt that his grandfather wanted to irrigate urban and rural areas when he was still alive, but he was reprimanded by a younger emperor. This made Zhu Mianpei feel very uncomfortable. When he succeeded to the throne of Queen Ning, he always wanted to get this breath back for his grandfather. , I not only want to irrigate the land in urban and rural areas, but I also want to restore the palace guards and make Prince Ning's Palace the Prince Ning's Palace that Grandpa is familiar with.

After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, all major affairs in the court were entrusted to Yu Qian's hands. His Majesty the Emperor did not get deeply involved in the affairs of the court, which allowed King Ning to find an opportunity.

His Majesty is not pro-government, and because of the emperor's lineage, he owes Prince Ning's palace, so he naturally regards himself as the head of the vassal.

The middle gate of the palace.

Cao Jixiang had a serious look on his face, and standing behind him were Inspector Qianhu Zhou Ming, who had already changed into Jin Yiwei uniform, and Feng Shiqi, who was wearing prison uniform.

Outside the temple, Han Yong and others captured dozens of people, but some of them ran back to the palace.

King Ning Zhu Dianpei already knew about Jin Yiwei's attack.

But he didn't have much fear in his heart.

The emperor's personal army was impressive when speaking out, but in front of Prince Ning, it was not enough.

When Han Yong walked to the middle gate.

Cao Jixiang and Zhou Ming both saw it.

Cao Jixiang hurriedly asked: "This man is the right minister of the Ministry of War of Yingtian Mansion, the deputy censor of the capital, and the governor of Jiangxi, Han Yong."

"Eunuch Cao is Governor Han."

Cao Jixiang hurried over and said with a smile: "But Governor Han."

Han Yong stopped, glanced at Cao Jixiang, raised his hands and said, "It's Han Yong. I wonder what happened to my father-in-law."

"You stay here first and receive the order with Prince Ning."

"I……"

"Yes." Cao Jixiang said with a smile.

Han Yong looked at the two royal soldiers following him and smiled bitterly: "Eunuch, Prince Ning doesn't want to see me, so why don't you send someone to drive me out?"

After hearing this, Cao Jixiang's expression changed, and then he looked at the two soldiers and reprimanded: "You are so impudent. The court officials are treated with great courtesy in the palace. How can you do this in the small Ning Prince's Mansion?" If you are being treated rudely, step back.”

After hearing Cao Jixiang's words, the two soldiers looked at the dozens of Jinyi guards behind them.

They had heard that Zhang Xun was chopped down by Jin Yiwei's men just for saying one more word, without giving him any time to react.

At that moment, the two retreated silently.

The other eunuchs and minor officials in the palace at the middle gate also watched eagerly, and no one dared to say anything.

Prince Ning may not be afraid of Cao Jixiang, but they should be.

Cao Jixiang was very satisfied, and then said to Han Yong: "Governor Han, just wait here for a while."

Han Yong nodded in agreement.

Cao Jixiang made a trip to North Korea and indeed came into His Majesty's sight. This time when he came to Nanchang City to announce the decree, His Majesty named him.

What a grace.

Before leaving, Zhu Jianshen personally summoned Cao Jixiang in the Qianqing Palace and first commended Cao Jixiang for helping Xu Youzhen in North Korea.

This made Cao Jixiang overjoyed.

I knew it was right to follow the censor of Xudu. Others eat meat and I drink soup. There is nothing wrong with it.

Cao Jixiang is an old man in the palace and the admiral eunuch of the twenty-fourth eunuch. It was a common thing for him to be summoned by the emperor, but now the situation is different. The other eunuchs around His Majesty can't get in at all. He only trusts Zhang Bao. , all the power of eunuchs comes from the imperial power. If they are away from the center of imperial power for a long time, this is not a good sign.

Cao Jixiang has a sense of crisis and has always wanted to find an opportunity to let His Majesty the Emperor know him. Only by knowing himself can he keep his power and make further progress possible. He is more than ten years younger than Zhang Bao and has a successor. It's possible.

And when he was in Qianqing Palace, when His Majesty mentioned Han Yong, there was also a sense of high opinion in his words.

This made Cao Jixiang want to make good friends, so he was so polite when talking to Han Yong.

After everyone waited for a while.

Zhu Dianpei, who had changed into the clothes of Prince Liu Zhang, arrived late.

Although he is not tall, he is now wearing the clothes of a prince, with dragon patterns on his chest and shoulders, a gold belt around his waist, and a crown of good wings on his head, which is full of majesty.

After seeing this, Cao Jixiang took two steps forward and saluted Zhu Dianpei with his hands raised: "Your Highness has been in good health recently."

Cao Jixiang came here on behalf of the Emperor, so of course he could not kneel down, but he was also a servant of the royal family. Before announcing the decree, he had to pay his respects to Prince Ning first.

Zhu Mianpei glanced at Cao Jixiang, and then at the young eunuchs behind him. The Jin Yiwei snorted coldly: "With such a big battle, is it possible that your Majesty is here to cut down the vassal and seize the king?"

"Prince Ning was joking, Your Majesty, how could you reduce the vassal state? It's just that the incident in Nanchang City caused a stir in both the government and the public. The Procuratorate and the Six Sections reported the matter one after another, so Your Majesty only allowed this slave to go away. As long as Your Highness can, It’s all up to your heart’s content.”

Zhu Mianpei snorted coldly.

But Han Yong next to him couldn't stand Zhu Dianpei's arrogant expression.

"In my opinion, the number of unscrupulous vassal kings who are members of the royal family and are supported by the people, but who bully the people and occupy fertile land should be reduced."

Only then did Zhu Mianpei notice Han Yong.

"Why are you still here? Didn't I ask you to get out of the palace?"

"I am an official of the Ming Dynasty. I am your Majesty's minister. I am not a minister of Prince Ning's Palace. Your Majesty asked me to listen to your orders here. Who dares to chase me away?" Han Yong said loudly.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty's decree has been made. The two of you are asked to accept the decree together. Your Majesty, you don't dare to violate the Holy Will." Although Cao Jixiang's words have always been soft, they are full of toughness. He doesn't dare, he just can't.

Zhu Mianpei also heard it. Of course, he could not give up on this issue again. He looked at Feng Shiqi.

"Prefect Feng, what did you do? Why are you being detained?"

"Knowingly asking questions, colluding with the vassal king, oppressing the people, and violating the laws of nature. I am escorting him here now to let him see clearly how the court punishes the vassal king." Han Yong replied, I am a tough guy, and I just want to do it. you.

"Han Yong, you are so presumptuous."

"Prince Ning, you are ridiculous."

"You..." Zhu Dianpei looked at Han Yong. I am wearing the clothes of a Ming Dynasty prince, with a golden dragon on the chest, an old cow on my waist, no, a gold belt on my waist. How dare you be so disrespectful.

"This time, even if my official position is not guaranteed, I cannot sit idly by while Prince Ning and the people of Ning Fan are a prey to the common people. Even if I end up with a tragic end, I am still innocent..." Han Yong also angrily criticized Zhu Dianpei.

"The king just asked for some land. When did I feed the people? How could I let those people live without a fixed place and have nothing to work? I will give them food, and I will not treat them badly."

"If the people don't agree, they will drive them away and beat them. Isn't this what King Ning said that he will not be treated badly?"

"You, Han Yong, I want to kill you..." As he said that, King Ning looked around, looking for a knife...

"Come on, come on, if King Ning has the courage, I will let the king take this good head. Killing the governor of the imperial court is tantamount to treason. Use my life, Han Yong, to eradicate the king of Nanchang City who is causing trouble to the country. It is a good deal, a good deal." After saying that, Han Yong laughed out loud.

Han Yong's words made Zhu Dianpei feel a bit stuck.

Cao Jixiang watched from the side and said quickly: "Your Highness, please accept the order."

After hearing Cao Jixiang's words, Zhu Dianpei stepped down and said, "Han Yong, please note this to me. I will definitely sue you."

"Han Yong is waiting."

"Governor Han, you should also accept the order."

Han Yong walked to the middle gate and stood behind Zhu Mianpei.

After the two knelt down, Cao Jixiang took the imperial edict from the hand of the little eunuch behind him.

"By God's will, the emperor, the edict said, the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the governor of Jiangxi, Han Yong, abide by his duties, are not afraid of power, and redress the grievances of the people. I am deeply comforted and commend him."

Zhu Mianpei, who was kneeling on the ground, knew clearly that the words of commendation were not meant for Han Yong at all, but for himself.

"Ning Wangfan, the fifth generation grandson of Emperor Taizu, a member of the imperial family, did not care about the suffering of the people, oppressed the people, occupied fertile land, shocked the government and the public, and made people and gods angry. It is a shame for the clan. From now on, the three years of King Ning's royal life will be deducted from the circle. It is forbidden to go out at will in Prince Ning's palace. Prince Ning, Prince of Le'an, Prince of Shicheng, Prince of Geyang, and Prince of Changrui were all reprimanded. Three years in the County Prince’s Mansion......"

When Han Yong listened to the imperial edict, his heart moved. Whose handiwork was this? It was so serious.

Zhu Mianpei's face turned livid when he heard this. It was a great shame and humiliation for Prince Ning and his family...
