After Zhu Mianpei died.
Xu Youzhen asked the Jinyi guards to take his body, enter the city with Han Yong, and return to Prince Ning's Mansion.
In the past few days, all the princes and clans of Ning Fan's line were brought into Prince Ning's Mansion by soldiers, waiting for Zhu Jianshen's imperial edict.
When all the princes arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion, they saw that the palace was heavily guarded and there were teams of uniformed guards. They shouted in their hearts that something was wrong. This boss had caused a big trouble.
Prince Ning's family has dozens of titles of princes and princes, and more than a hundred people in the clan.
Among these princes, the oldest and most senior one is Yichun prince Zhu Panxi. He is the grandson of Taizu Emperor Gao and the same generation as Zhu Jianshen's great-grandfather Zhu Gaochi.
He was born in the twelfth year of Yongle and is over fifty years old.
When he was brought into Prince Ning's Mansion by the soldiers of the imperial court, he knew the outcome of Prince Ning's lineage. However, he had also seen big storms. He had been with his father, Zhu Quan, for many years, and he could remain calm despite honor and disgrace.
He sat quietly on the chair, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the final verdict.
"Second uncle, what is the purpose of calling us all to the palace? His Royal Highness Prince Ning was taken away by Han Yong. Where did they take them? You have to make an idea."
A group of panicked princes gathered around him.
In fact, they all made the worst plans in their hearts, but they didn't want to believe it.
"Yes, Second Uncle, what exactly does the court want to do? A few years ago, we were all banned from home because the boss wanted to occupy the land that irrigated the city and the countryside. We had no complaints. But now that they have brought us all here, it is It's not that we want to abolish the vassal, but that won't work. Prince Ning is Prince Ning, and I, Prince Le'an, am Prince Le'an. He has violated the national law and we cannot be involved." Zhu Dianlei, Prince of Le'an County, said loudly.
In fact, most of the brothers in King Ning's lineage were at odds with each other. Zhu Dianlei was a very angry person, and he didn't care about his superiority or inferiority when he spoke.
Zhu Panyan opened his eyes, looked at Prince Le'an, and said softly: "Prince Ning and his family are all one body. If Prince Ning makes a mistake, all members of the same clan will be punished. Don't you understand this principle?"
"But this is unfair, Second Uncle, I haven't done anything, why should I be punished?"
"How can there be so much fairness in the world." After Zhu Panyang finished speaking, he sighed softly.
"We won't be executed." Zhu Diandu, the king of Shicheng County, said quickly.
"No, at most he will be demoted to a commoner and return to his old career."
"Yes, but I have been the king of the Ming Dynasty since I was born. How can I come from my old career?"
"The old business of our ancestors, the old business of Emperor Taizu Gao, farming."
"Farming, I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao. No matter what kind of land I farm, my uncle must not make fun of me."
"Soon you will no longer be the prince of the Ming Dynasty." After Zhu Panxi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing that Zhu Panyang stopped talking, many princes were like headless ants, wandering around. Some princes even went to Zhu Mianpei's princess to ask for a word, but they were chased away by the eunuchs of Prince Ning's Mansion, Zhao Jier and others. come out.
After a long wait, the trial came. The body of Prince Ning Zhu Dianpei was brought back to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Princess Ning, Xiao Shi, held the body and cried for a long time.
And his two children stood beside their father's body blankly.
After the county kings saw the fate of their direct descendant Zhu Dianpei, they also had new considerations about their own ending.
Kill them all, and the court will not dare to do anything.
But demoting them all to common people was a common method used by the imperial court.
But what mistake did Prince Ning make? Why did he end up like this? Wasn't he always locked up in Prince Ning's mansion? Could it be that he was unconvinced and went out to recruit troops and build armor privately?
After a while, Xu Youzhen held the imperial edict in both hands and led hundreds of soldiers and guards into the inner courtyard.
The county kings also stepped forward one after another.
"So what happened?"
"Why is Prince Ning injured all over his body? What crime did Prince Ning commit?"
"I want to report to His Majesty the Imperial Court and seek justice for Prince Ning."
Xu Youzhen just looked at these princes coldly, held up the imperial edict with both hands, and shouted: "Prince Ning and his family received the edict."
Although most of these princes were unconvinced, they still knelt down to receive the order. Princess Xiao was overly sad and was helped back to the room to rest by the maid. Zhao Jier, with the two bloodlines of Prince Ning, knelt down. Get down and take the order instead.
Xu Youzhen recited the imperial edict again.
After the imperial edict was recited, many members of the clan made a noise.
Zhu Mianpei actually used witchcraft to murder the emperor. This is not the point. The point is that he was caught.
These people from King Ning's lineage are unworthy, stupid and stupid, and they are a drag on their own clan.
However, they confessed but were not convinced.
The Prince of Le'an County was the first to stand up: "Zhu Dianpei practiced witchcraft and was beaten and killed by the court. He has relieved his anger, so why should we be deprived of our titles?"
"That's right, Prince Ning has already confessed and was executed. Why should we involve innocent people?"
"The court's decision is unfair. We are all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao and should not have this result."
"I want to write a memorial to His Majesty..."
Zhu Panxi, the king of Yichun County, knelt on the ground and never spoke.
"King Ning is gone. Where is the prince who is still here? Quickly receive the decree and prepare to go to Fengyang, the central capital. You are already common people and no longer have the power to be in front of the emperor. If anyone resists the decree and disrespects it, Ning This is the fate of the common man Zhu Dianpei." Xu Youzhen said loudly.
The soldiers and guards behind him stepped forward one after another.
Zhu Panyang raised his hands and shouted: "Common man Zhu Panyang accepts the order and pleads guilty."
Xu Youzhen glanced at Zhu Panyang, then at the other princes, and said coldly: "Take off all the python robes and jade belts, and hand over Prince Ning's treasure, the seals of the kings."
"No intercourse, no taking off..."
"Do it."
Xu Youzhen ordered, and the soldiers stepped forward one after another.
Zhao Jier hurriedly helped Prince Ning's two children take off their python robes. While taking them back, he said, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
However, Zhu Mianpei's two children had no fear and did not even know that their identities had changed.
One moment he was a prince, and the next moment he was a commoner. Who could bear this psychological gap? At that moment, many princes began to resist.
He resisted and cursed.
But the soldiers and the royal guards don't have so many scruples. If you take off the prince's clothes and jade belt honestly, that's fine. If you don't take off, they will directly help you take it off.
Xu Youzhen kept watching the scene.
Prince Ning's Mansion has been operating in Nanchang City for many years, and many county princes are actually married to many military generals in Jiangxi. Although these military generals did not have the courage to mobilize troops to respond to the rebellion, Xu Youzhen was still cautious, so at the first moment, all the The princes and counties were under control and set off immediately.
Prince Ning's treasure was searched out by the Jinyi Guards, and inspector Qianhu Zhou Ming brought it to Xu Youzhen's side.
Xu Youzhen glanced at Wang Yin, and then turned her attention to Zhou Ming.
"Thanks to Zhou Qianhu for the hard work."
Zhou Ming replied slowly: "Jinyiwei's responsibilities are his, I dare not mention his hard work."
Xu Youzhen didn't say anything more, nor did she touch Prince Ning's treasure. She turned around and left. Outside Prince Ning's mansion, there were more than twenty carriages prepared in advance.
Under the escort of thousands of soldiers, he set off directly to Fengyang, the central capital. Xu Youzhen did not accompany him. He had to stay in Jiangxi to check the private property of King Mening and a dozen county princes.
At the same time, according to what Yu Qian said.
The evidence was sent to King Zhao, King Zheng, King Xiang, King Jing, King Huai, and King Xin. The imperial edict was relatively gentle. It probably meant that King Ning was acting against the will. There was nothing I could do. Grandpas, uncles, and uncles all watched. Yes, we are a family.
After receiving the imperial edict, King Zhu Qiyu of Yin immediately wrote a memorial to support his majesty's decision and the court's ruling. Other kings also wrote memorials one after another to express support.
The imperial edicts issued by the King of Qin, King of Jin, King of Zhou, King of Chu, King of Lu, King of Shu, etc. were more harshly worded. The general meaning is that I will comfort the Ancestral Temple and obtain the consent of my ancestors before oppressing the people. The line of King Zhu Dianpeining who practiced witchcraft has been abolished. You should take this as a warning. Do not follow suit in the fiefdom and stay well.
There may be some princes among them who have other ideas about this, but they dare not show it. Prince Ning was found burying the villain at home.
Are there people watching every move, word and deed I make in the house?
After Emperor Taizu Wen succeeded in Jingnan, he went through a series of reforms and reductions, so that these vassal kings who were born with him lost Jingnan's strength.
All the kings of the Ming Dynasty were depressed to death.
The New Year is coming soon, and I was thinking about writing a congratulatory note to the emperor. Unexpectedly, some of Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei's tricks turned the New Year's congratulatory note into a self-examination note.
Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei really caught the tail of Chenghua for eight years and was not idle at all.
In Yunnan, Zhu Qizhen, who had just moved back to the city, was lying on a rocking chair and basking in the sun.
In winter, the benefits of Kunming become apparent.
It's not as cold as Beijing, and it's like spring all year round, making it a great environment for mating.
Just when Zhu Qizhen was feeling very uncomfortable, Leng Kuang came in with a group of soldiers.
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly sat up and looked at these soldiers with some curiosity. What was going on? They wanted to take me home.
And those soldiers began to wander around the corner of the small courtyard where they lived, as if they were looking for something.
Leng Kuang stood aside with a serious face.
"Leng Kuang, what are you doing? Why don't you bow first when you see me?"
"The lower official also wanted to salute first, but as soon as the lower official saluted, the Supreme Emperor insulted the lower official. Such a rude monarch, the lower official could not kneel down."
"You...what are you searching for?"
"There is an order from above, let us check ourselves."
"Self-examination?" Zhu Qizhen frowned. If you want to do self-examination, then you should do it yourself. Why did you come to my house?
"Prince Ning has been deposed." Leng Kuang said slowly.
"Abandoned, why were you abolished?" Zhu Qizhen was also a little confused. Isn't the current Prince Ning his uncle? Why did he lose his title when he was celebrating the New Year?
"Because of the practice of witchcraft and the murder of His Majesty, all the princes and mansions in the world must conduct self-examination..."
Zhu Qizhen stood up fiercely: "What a Prince Ning, I was dissatisfied with him back then. I didn't expect that he would dare to use witchcraft to murder my son. Huh, he is still thinking about those things. It's useless." Okay, waste it, oh, that’s not right, I am the Supreme Emperor, not a foreign king, why did you come to my house to check..."
"The Supreme Emperor also wants to investigate when he is in Yunnan, and he said in the Taibao letter that the investigation should be more careful."
"You guys, how could I murder my own son? I'm still afraid that others will poison me..."
This made Zhu Qizhen very angry...
