Chapter seven hundred and twenty second framed
The imperial edict to quickly dispatch the prince to return to the army was issued quickly. Of course, there must be some reasons for the official appearance. The reason was that Jiannu came to Liaodong in an invasion of crisis and transferred the 12th Prince's Regiment Battalion to Beijing for defense.
The reason is extremely far-fetched. Jiannu came to Liaodong, so why did he let Zhu Cixuan go north to Beijing? Instead of going north to Liaodong, that's how Chongzhen issued it.
As for the public opinion on the capital, Chongzhen's explanation was that the treasury was out of money and the Ministry of Revenue had no food. If it continued, it would cost a lot of people. In order to rest and rest, the prince was temporarily allocated to return to Beijing.
The government and the country were in an uproar!
At this moment, seeing victory in sight, the court suddenly issued an order to let the prince return to the capital?
The happiest thing is that Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo, and Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of War. The purpose of these two products has been achieved. Once the prince returns to Beijing, his military power will be removed.
Since Emperor Chongzhen's suspicion has arisen, the inner demon will swallow him endlessly. Emperor Chongzhen will never be relieved if he does not completely remove the prince's military power.
Even the Eastern Palace Guards and the Hu Ben Army were disbanded on the spot. Perhaps these soldiers would be expanded into the three major camps, but from then on, the Eastern Palace Guards and the Hu Ben Army would completely withdraw from the stage of history.
Zhu Ciyang's deputy commander of the Jinyiwei would also seize his power because the prince was not suitable for the Jinyiwei.
By then, Zhu Cilang will only be the one who is under the title of a prince, and I will be the one who is actually in power.
A toothless tiger can only become a pet. At that time, Zhu Cilang will be cautious everywhere and will never cause any storm.
At that time, Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Jinyan only needed a small operation to kill Zhu Cilang. Once the king suspected the prince, the position of the prince's Eastern Palace would be difficult to protect.
If you don’t say anything else, just find a reason to frame him as a prince and you will likely be deposed. There are countless examples of this in history.
The witchcraft disaster was a major political event that occurred in the late reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Witchcraft was a kind of witchcraft. At that time, people believed that wizards were buried in the ground with tangerine puppets, and cursed those who were resentful, and those who were cursed would suffer disasters.
Traditional superstition believes that witchcraft can harm people. Emperor Wu of Han was sick many times in his later years and suspected that it was caused by witchcraft in his right and left.
In the second year of Zhenghe, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was reported as a witchcraft curse by Emperor Wu, and had an affair with Princess Yangshi. Gongsun He and his son were imprisoned and died. Princess Zhuyi, Princess Yangshi, and Princess Yangshi, Wei Qing's son, were all executed. Emperor Wu's favorite minister Jiang Chong was ordered to investigate the witchcraft case and forced people to confess their guilt with torture and frame-up. Ministers and the people were frightened and randomly accused others of committing crimes, and tens of thousands of people died.
Jiang Chong and Prince Liu Ju had a rift, so he took the opportunity to frame the prince and told the case that the eunuch Su Wen and four others framed the prince. The prince was afraid and raised an army to kill Jiang Chong. Later, he was suppressed and defeated by Emperor Wu. The queen guard Zifu and Prince Liu Ju committed suicide one after another. The three elders of Huguan, Hetian Qianqiu and others wrote to sue the prince for injustice. Finally, the Wu Emperor Yi Jiang Chong three tribes burned Su Wen to death. The "Si Uterrain" was built and the "returning platform for thinking" was used to mourn the prince. This incident involved hundreds of thousands of people, known in history as the disaster of witchcraft.
Everyone knows the suspicion of Emperor Chongzhen. Although there is a huge risk of overthrowing the crown prince, Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Jinyan know that if they do not overthrowing the crown prince, they will definitely have no good life in the future.
At that time, they can support Chongzhen's other sons to the throne. As for Zhu Cilang, it may not be a good thing to be a great deal to shock the Lord, let alone you are still a prince.
No matter whether you are a minister or a prince, it will be a big disaster for the emperor to make a great contribution. A minister can also destroy himself and ensure safety, or return to his homeland to enjoy happiness. The prince has no way out. In fact, the position of the prince is even more awkward.
Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, can be said to be the son of God, and he was a cheater. He made countless military achievements, but in the end he could only force himself to rebel, kill his brother and force his father to abdicate and give way to the wise.
History has reincarnation, and what Emperor Chongzhen fears most is that this situation will occur. Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Jinyan, who have ulterior motives, have already smelled a different smell in the air.
In the Forbidden City Palace, Empress Zhou was not a fool. She had already vaguely guessed that her son might be in trouble.
But she also knew Chongzhen's personality best, and she must not come forward to persuade him. At this time, the more he dissuaded himself, the more suspicious he was. But she could not watch the son's danger, and watch the Ming Dynasty fail.
What to do? Who can save his son? Queen Zhou was so confused that she couldn't think of it.
My father, Zhou Kui, the father-in-law of the country? Come on, Zhou Kui is selfish and only knows how to care about his immediate interests. It is impossible to count on his father, but what about the pillars of the Qingliu in the court?
No, Zhu Cilang has entered a dead end. Whoever dares to show his merits and relied on the crown prince is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Princess Kunxing sat on the chair of Kunning Palace, swaying her legs and eating melon seeds. She didn't understand the sinisterness of the government, but she also noticed something was wrong from her mother's worried expression: "My mother, the child heard that her brother was going back to Beijing. Why do you all seem unhappy?"
Empress Zhou was about to answer when the palace maid came in and reported: "Report to the Empress, the General Manager Wang asked for a meeting outside."
Queen Zhou was stunned, Wang Chengen? At this time, what did he come to Kunning Palace to do?
As the personal eunuch of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen played a great role in the palace. Empress Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "Please come in."
The mother of a country at most means letting him in. The Queen of Zhou used the word "please" to show her respect for Wang Chengen.
The palace maid bowed and retreated and came outside the hall: "Eunuch Wang, the Empress is invited."
Wang Chengen hurriedly replied: "I'm lucky sister."
Wang Chengen came to Kunning Palace and knelt down and saluted: "I, Wang Chengen, bow to the Empress."
Queen Zhou was not stupid, so she actually left and sat up in person. She walked over and helped Wang Chengen up: "Eunuch Wang, now the prince is in danger. I'll ask Eunuch Wang to help you."
Those who can stay in the palace are definitely kings. Wang Chengen's sudden visit must be important things. Queen Zhou now knows that if he wants to resolve Zhu Cilang's crisis, these people have to rely on.
Wang Chengen looked panicked: "The Empress is going to destroy the old slave. The Empress is clear about it. I came here for the sake of His Royal Highness."
Queen Zhou was even more excited: "Oh, tell me quickly, but there is a good plan to convince me. This child, Ci Yang, has always been filial and loyal to serving the country. How could Your Majesty be so confused?"
Wang Chengen sighed: "Empress, I am the same as you. I have advised the emperor, but I was scolded by the emperor several times. I am really powerless to do anything about this."
