Zhao Huaian led tens of thousands of people to attack the magistrate's Yamen, while thousands of soldiers were deployed at the Magistrate's Yamen. The two sides were in a stalemate.
King Xiang appeared.
He played a very important role in it. He gave Zhao Huaian this idea, and his appearance also achieved his goal.
This is a game where everyone loses, but only the victims win.
After King Xiang finished this matter, those who had been waiting for the arrival of the capital could be considered to have had a good year.
And after he waited for half a month, someone from the capital came.
Zhao Huanong, holding the imperial edict, arrived at Prince Xiang's Mansion.
King Xiang Zhu Zhanyi accepted the order.
There was no confinement or vassal reduction, but he was summoned to the capital.
This made Zhu Zhanzhen a little confused as to why he was allowed to return to Beijing. Although he was puzzled, he could only pack his bags and follow Zhao Huanong.
He was the prince of Emperor Xuanzong's mother, but unlike his distant grandfather like Prince Ning, Zhu Zhanzhen didn't think that Zhu Jianshen would kill him because of this matter. At most, he would be imprisoned.
After Zhu Zhanzhen arrived in the capital, he rested for two days. The first person to summon him was Empress Dowager Sun.
Two days after Zhu Zhanzhen visited his old sister-in-law, he was summoned by Zhu Jianshen.
Zhu Zhanzhen's role in this incident was clearly investigated by Zhu Jianshen, and he also saw that his grandfather, Prince Xiang, was not incompetent. So after the investigation, he felt that if such a capable grandfather was not used, How can it be done?
Although North Korea is still at war, the general situation has been brought under control. Guzhou City has been occupied for more than three months. How about you go to Liaoping Mansion to live for a while, and when the war is over, immediately enter Guzhou City and act as the Ming Dynasty in North Korea. The first vassal king.
In fact, Zhu Jianshen has been thinking about this matter, because whether it is the son of the Supreme Emperor or his own son in the future, it will take time for them to take charge of their own affairs, and after North Korea is occupied, a highly respected and capable clan prince will still be needed. , and can also serve as a model for the feudal kings who will be stationed in the past.
At this time, King Xiang was helping Zhao Huaian in Xiangyang City, and Zhu Jianshen suddenly found his target.
Zhu Zhanzhen in history was also a long-lived man. He experienced many peaks, lowest valleys, and darkest periods of the Ming Dynasty in his life. In this life, there were many temptations, but he maintained his original intention.
He also became the most courteous prince among many sects. In real history, King Xiang's golden book came to the palace of Queen Mother Sun, wanting to give him a chance to save the country from the crisis, but he refused. When Zhu Qizhen was After welcoming him back to Nangong, King Xiang also reminded Zhu Qiyu to greet the Supreme Emperor sooner or later and lead his ministers to court, and not to forget to be respectful. After Zhu Qizhen was restored to power, he was extremely kind to his biological uncle.
When he came to the court to pay homage, Zhu Qizhen personally welcomed him. Before leaving, Zhu Qizhen personally sent him to Lugou Bridge and drove behind him.
Zhu Zhanyi said in his words: "To put ministers before the emperor is the way to great chaos."
Zhu Qizhen said: "The king has great virtue and high hopes. Today, instead of sending off his ministers as the king, he sends off his uncle as his nephew. How can there be chaos?"
Of course, the reason why Zhu Qizhen treated his uncle this way was because Zhu Qizhen was very moved by Zhu Zhanzhen's kindness to Zhu Qiyu when he was in Youjing Nangong.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jianshen met King Xiang.
And King Xiang also saw Zhu Jianshen, the cotton ball of their old Zhu family. M.biQuge.biZ
Zhu Zhanyi performed the ritual of kneeling and worshiping from foreign vassals when they entered the capital: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
"King Xiang, please rise."
After Zhu Zhanzhen stood up, he heard Zhu Jianshen say: "Give King Xiang a seat."
Two young eunuchs came slowly over carrying a grand master's chair.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying this, Zhu Zhanchen sat down.
Zhu Jianshen watched Zhu Zhanzhen sit down and said, "The King of Xiangyang is indispensable for what happened in Xiangyang."
After Zhu Zhanzhen heard this, he felt a little cold in his heart. Based on his understanding of His Majesty's style of doing things over the years, this must be irony, right? When he wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, Zhu Jianshen went on to say: "I got married this year and governed the country in person. I have been working diligently to govern the country. I didn't expect that the people's life would still be so difficult. If it hadn't been for King Xiang's advice this time, I would still be here today. I don’t know anything about Xiangyang, but I still have a doubt, and I hope King Xiang can answer it for me.”
He has been the emperor for more than ten years, and has become very good at cultivating qi. Even if it is his father, let alone his grandfather, he can still give him a few words of advice.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, foreign ministers must not dare to hide it."
"If King Xiang was so concerned about the people's affairs, why didn't he report it in the ninth year of Chenghua? Even if there were no clues in the ninth year of Chenghua, in the tenth year of Chenghua and the beginning of the eleventh year of Chenghua, a catastrophic event was imminent. , why is it not reflected at all in the above list given to me? Could it be that Prince Ning’s incident has hurt Prince Xiang’s heart?”
After Zhu Zhanzhen heard this, he frowned. Why did Prince Ning get involved? Our relationship is so close. How can Ning Fan be comparable? It is because of our close relationship that I dare not go public. Don't you know?
"I don't know much about local government affairs, and it's not convenient for me to get involved. This time I was approached by Zhao Huaian, the magistrate of Yicheng County." Zhu Zhanzhen told the truth and did not hide anything.
After hearing this, Zhu Jianshen nodded and continued: "What does King Xiang think of my handling of the officials involved in the case in Xiangyang?"
"Thunder means, Your Majesty is wise."
"I have a difficult matter in my mind right now. Does Prince Xiang know about it?"
"I know."
"Then how should I solve this difficult problem?"
"I request the order to transfer the feudal clan."
Zhu Jianshen smiled and said: "Prince Xiang is also a smart man. This incident of Prince Xiang has completely damaged the court's face. It may take decades to recover the popularity of Xiangyang and other places. However, Prince Xiang's palace has gained a lot of favors in the incident of Xiangyang." It is self-evident how much importance Prince Xiang holds in the hearts of tens of thousands of people outside the magistrate's office. From what I see, a generation of virtuous kings has been welcomed by everyone. Within half a year, this love for the people has Ruzi's wisdom will be spread throughout the two capitals and thirteen provinces. I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't find a place to place King Xiang."
After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Zhu Zhanzhen's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that Zhu Jianshen would speak openly.
"Then how does Your Majesty think I should deal with myself? Fengyang Ancestral Mausoleum is still the mausoleum of Taizu." Zhu Zhanzhen had already thought of this day when he was doing it.
The emperor may forgive his ministers, but he will never tolerate the vassal king, especially since he played the role of savior in the Xiangyang Incident.
After hearing these words, Zhu Jianshen's face became serious.
"Are there no new places to go?"
After hearing these words, Zhu Zhanzhen was heartbroken. He didn't expect that the cotton ball was so careful and wanted to kill him.
"Your Majesty can also give me a glass of poisoned wine, or I may die of serious illness after returning to Xiangyang."
"What is King Xiang talking about? King Xiang has merit in this matter. How could I give poisoned wine? It's just that I am still young and have some scruples. I think King Xiang can also understand. I really have a good place to go. , North Korea, is King Xiang willing to go?"
"North Korea?"
"Yes, I want all my brothers and heirs to go to Korea to join the vassal state, but I am afraid that outsiders will think that I am not caring about brotherhood. This time I want King Xiang to go to Guzhou City in Korea to join the vassal state first. I don't know if King Xiang is willing. go?"
"But North Korea is a vassal state." Zhu Zhanyi said quickly.
"In the eleventh year of Chenghua, he was a vassal, but this year, he is no longer."
After Zhu Zhanzhen heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Jianshen was retreating in order to advance. Although his methods were not clever, his acting was good.
"Your Majesty, destroying the vassal country is a big deal. No official has proposed the ancestral system to you." After saying this, Zhu Zhanyi regretted it.
This is not something that a foreign vassal can ask.
"I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty..."
After hearing these words, King Xiang Zhu Zhanzhen was a little confused...
"Prince Xiang is willing to go. As long as you go to Guzhou City, I can restore your five hundred escort troops, and Pyongyang Prefecture will allocate food and military equipment to the escort army." What Zhu Jianshen said now is that he will not send North Korea to Seoul at all. The tens of thousands of regular troops regarded them as the possessions of the Ming Dynasty, and they had already been divided.
"I would like to go to Guzhou City, Korea."
Zhu Zhanzhen also had no choice. All Zhu Jianshen's foreshadowing was telling himself that I am really worried about you staying in the mainland. If you want freedom, there seems to be no other choice except going to North Korea.
After listening to Zhu Zhanzhen's words, Zhu Jianshen had a smile on his face: "If this is the case, then I have let go of this matter and have caused another personal problem. Today, Grandma Huang said that she would let me hold a banquet for Xiang. Grandpa Wang..."
