[Ming] the son of the eunuch

In the early morning of the next day, the courtiers finally seized the opportunity to talk about the faults and tyranny of King Gaoyang in front of Emperor Jianwen.

Looking at a series of memorials collected by the courtiers in which he beat court officials and ran amok in Kyoto, Emperor Jianwen's face became more and more ugly.

"In the past, Emperor Xian once told King Yan that he must teach Gaoyang County King well, but it's a pity that King Yan didn't seem to take Emperor Yan's words to heart at all!"

"Let the three of them stay in the capital this time. The filial emperor, who is considerate of King Yan, specially allowed it. But now, they ran away before the emperor said anything!"

"How did King Yan teach the three princes? Is this capital a place where they can come and go whenever they want? So in their eyes, do they have His Majesty, and do they have the law of Ming Dynasty?"

"If the King of Gaoyang County can be captured this time, then everything can be reduced to a small one. But if the two brothers have already rushed to Yanjing, the old man is curious about how His Royal Highness King Yan will deal with it?"

Everyone has always thought that Zhu Gaoxu was not pleasing to the eye, so they have been enduring it, and they understand that it is imperative to cut down the feudal clan.Therefore, many ministers in the court no longer cared about King Yan who was thousands of miles away, and each was filled with righteous indignation, revenge for revenge, and revenge for injustice.

Standing among the crowd, Zhu Gaochi, who was wearing a court dress embroidered with dragons, turned paler and paler when he heard what they said.

In the past, he might argue a few words, but now it is true that the two younger brothers are too much, so he can only bear it.

The more people talked, the more excited they became. When they said that he had injured the only son of Hubu Shangshu, Zhu Yunqi's face was already quite ugly.

"Your Majesty---" At this moment, Chen Shui was supposed to be waiting behind the main hall.Suddenly holding a red notebook, he walked up from the side cautiously.

The people below were still eloquent, they raised their hands to take the playbook in Chen Shui's hand, and looked at the word Urgent on it.Emperor Jianwen paused, and then opened it without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, there has always been a saying among the people that a prince who breaks the law is as guilty as a commoner. Therefore, I implore the emperor, this time we must not indulge the King of Gaoyang County anymore."

"The ministers begged the emperor to order the punishment of Gaoyang Junwang, and they must not be indulged any longer."

A minister knelt down suddenly, and then many people knelt down one after another. Everyone agreed that it was time to give the lawless King Gaoyang a serious blow.

Holding the playbook in his hands vigorously with both hands, Zhu Yunqi suddenly fell into a trance when he heard the words of punishment from the people below.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that his expression was different, Huang Zicheng, who was originally silent and thoughtful, suddenly spoke softly.

Hearing his voice, Zhu Yunqi slowly raised his head.He glanced at him without focus, and then he looked down at the eldest son Zhu Gaochi without moving.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was terrified by everyone's words, thinking that the emperor looked at him because he really wanted to convict his younger brother, so he immediately knelt down without thinking.

"..." Seeing him like this, Zhu Yunqi's eyes flickered but he hesitated.

Because of his sudden abnormality, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became strangely quiet.

Time passed by, and suddenly his heart sank, Zhu Gaochi immediately raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, is there any news about Axu and Suier?"

He had a look of anticipation on his face, but seeing him like this, Zhu Yunqi felt even more embarrassed.

"Cousin, but my uncle found Axu and Suier?" Seeing that His Majesty the emperor was just looking at him, Zhu Gaochi immediately raised his voice and said again, but this time there was a tremor in his voice that even he didn't know Come.

Listening to this voice, I thought that he was actually many years younger than me.Thinking of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui who fell into the water were even younger, he had a feeling that he was actually cruel.

Although Zhu Gaochi's voice was trembling a bit, his attitude at the moment was definitely not submissive.In the past, I was used to seeing his timidity, and someone immediately reminded me: "Your Highness, you don't need to speak so loudly, this is the court hall of the Ming Dynasty, not your small palace in the Yan Mansion. So please--"

"Presumptuous!" It's not that I haven't heard such words in the past, and it's not that I haven't seen people around me run on the three brothers like this.But in the past, as long as it wasn't too much, he would just ignore it.But right now, holding such a memorial in his hand, Zhu Yunqi suddenly became furious.

"The emperor calm down!" Qi Tai, the left servant of the Ministry of War who was scolded, had a look of surprise but immediately knelt down.

"Today's morning court is over here, except for Prince Yan, everyone else will retire." Knowing that he could not get angry in the court hall, and knowing that the matter of the two brothers of Gaoyang County King could not be known to everyone, Zhu Yunxuan stood up and spoke at the same time. road.

All the ministers peeped at each other, not knowing what happened, but at this moment all they can do is obey the order and kneel down!

After all the officials in the court retreated, Chen Shui immediately ordered all the maids, eunuchs and guards in the hall to retreat.

All the palace doors and windows around the Hall of Supreme Harmony were closed at once, seeing this scene.Zhu Gaochi's heart skipped a beat, and his hands hidden in his loose sleeves trembled unconsciously.

"A Chi!" Trying to organize his own words, looking up at the obviously nervous look of the person in front of him, Zhu Yunwen said quickly: "Last night, when Axu and Sui'er were passing by Qingjiangpu on a boat, they accidentally disappeared. Water, so far no--"

"Your Majesty, are you joking?" The skin on his cheeks moved strangely, and when Zhu Gaochi said this, he suddenly couldn't control his emotions and burst into tears.

This is the second time Zhu Yunwen saw him cry in these two days.He cried more miserably than this yesterday, and louder than now.But now seeing that he just bit his lip and tried hard to control his emotions, with only tears on his face, Zhu Yunwen's heart twitched and he really regretted it.

He regretted that he would listen to the opinions of the people around him and force them to stay in the capital.He regretted being so angry yesterday, if he didn't send someone to pursue him desperately.Wouldn't the two remaining younger brothers in front of him be desperate, and wouldn't they travel in the middle of the night on a small fishing boat?

"Wei Guogong and the prince and Taifu are both in Huai'an, and they are looking for the two brothers Axu. Wei Guogong is your uncle, and he will definitely try his best to find them. And it said above, the place where Axu and the others fell into the water is actually far from the place where they fell into the water." The ferry is not far away, so they can actually-"

"Your Highness, Yanjing is no better than the capital. Our place is full of slopes and mountains." He quickly rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand.Looking up and seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Zhu Gaochi said loudly: "The emperor's cousin, Axu and Suier were born in Yanjing. There are not so many rivers in that place, so they don't know how to water at all!"

Zhu Yunwen's heart sank and he was suddenly stunned. Looking at his appearance, Zhu Gaochi immediately knelt in front of him and begged: "Can the emperor allow my younger brother to leave Beijing for a while, and my younger brother promises to be absolutely—"

Zhu Yunwen's face immediately became cloudy when he heard this, looking at him like this.With a wry smile in his heart, Zhu Gaochi could only lean over and smack his forehead heavily on the ground and said in a low voice, "The emperor's minister is too much. The emperor should have a lot of things to deal with every day, so the minister will retire first." !"

Zhu Yunxuan didn't move, but when Zhu Gaochi stood up with difficulty and staggered to the door, he suddenly said without warning: "I'll ask Zuo Dudu to accompany you there, take your guards and hurry back!

"Thank you, brother!" With mixed feelings in his heart, without thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi immediately left the palace.

When Zhu Gaochi was protected by the left governor Xu Zengshou and left the south gate, the guards of the royal palace who were trapped under the south gate for a night led the order to leave the south gate of Kyoto.

It was obvious to all that Chen Lin was kicked off the carriage by the king of Gaoyang County yesterday. In addition, Chen Lin's right arm seemed to be injured, so it was rare for Prince Yan to kindly keep him by his side.

It was precisely because he had been by Shizi Yan's side all the time that Chen Lin was the first to learn from Wei Guogong what went wrong last night after arriving in Huai'an.

After Wei Guogong told Shizi Yan about the fisherman who pushed the third prince into the river and was then thrown into the water by King Gaoyang County, Chen Lin became nervous.

But not long after the fisherman was brought up, Chen Lin was not worried at all.

"My lord Cao Min really didn't say a single lie. It's the grass people who shouldn't be greedy. They shouldn't regret it after receiving the money. Anyway, those two masters put a knife on my neck. I should. But--- "

Looking around, the middle-aged fisherman, who had been tortured for a whole night, burst into tears and said, "But Caomin can swear by the [-]th generation of his ancestors, Caomin really didn't push that young man at that time, it was himself-- -"

"You want to say that he is a ten-year-old boy who knows how to swim, and he will dive into the water with his own life!" No one else on the field made a sound, Zhu Gaochi said coldly.

Listening to his tone, looking at the royal clothes on his body, the middle-aged fisherman raised his head in a daze.

"Your Majesty is asking you something, hurry up and tell me whether it was you who pushed it or he jumped by himself!" Zhang Wu, who had endured all night, suddenly jumped out from behind the crowd, grabbed his collar and lifted him up. tall.

"I--I--I, is--is--is--"

"You didn't mean to tell us that you didn't push Xiaojun Wang into the water. Instead, you stretched out a hand from the bottom of the water and dragged him down without waiting for you. And the wound on your head was not from Gaoyang County. Wang beat it himself for his younger brother, but you did it yourself, right?"
