Chapter 478: Never turn over
It was snowing heavily in Beijing, but the capital was very different. Although it was late autumn here, the weather was not cold. It was just early in the morning, Jinling was covered with a little chill.
The ministers should enter the capital at the hour of Mao. At this time, the air was wet and cold, and everyone could not bear it, so they would always add a velvet shoulder pad and a cloak to wear. Since Yang Shiqi was gone in the cabinet, the pavilion seemed much colder, but everyone avoided talking about any questions about Yang Shiqi. The minister was still in the imperial prison. It seemed that the minister was glamorous, holding authority and glorious, but now everyone realized that this person who held the power of the world was just a decree, and could be nothing.
Even Xie Jin was sad, and of course, he gave Yang Shiqi a blow. This time, Yang Shiqi's eyes were filled with stars, which made Xie Jin breathe a sigh of relief. Yang Shiqi's gangsters, after hearing the news, had already panicked and swayed left and right, and there were many people who planned to change the party. In such a tense atmosphere, Xie Jin's reputation has begun to expand again.
However, Xie Jin was not overjoyed. Of course, he knew that Yang Shiqi was impeached by the King of Han. Now that the King of Han has rebelled, it just proves that the King of Han is correct. It will not take long to recover. Although he suffered a great loss this time, and there will be some calculations on him next, he will eventually be able to kill the snake and be more careful in the future. This person is a big hidden danger after all.
When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, he could no longer approve the cloak. Xie Jin would take off the cloak as usual, but it didn't matter if he was wearing it. However, Xie Jin was cautious and did not want the emperor to know his "spoiledness". Even if the big red official robe was easily filled with wind, he still insisted so much. With him taking the lead, it would be inconvenient for others to do so. Even a few elderly ministries would follow this, which shows that the atmosphere brought by Xie Jin was quite good, and the ministers who entered the palace were all very good.
After arriving in the cabinet, I sat for a while and everyone arrived. Xie Jin seemed very calm. However, the others might not be able to calm down. Because the news just came last night that the King of Han arrived in Beijing, he tried to persuade the commander-in-chief Liu Bi of the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Imperial Guard and Liu Bi saw that the matter was urgent, they immediately made a quick decision to take down the King of Han. Now, Ji Gang has escorted the King of Han and is on the way to the capital.
The news came out and caused an uproar immediately, let alone others. Even Hu Yan, Huang Huai people and others couldn't help but feel shocked.
This is a good thing. Someone has already smelled a lot of things about the Han Palace a few days ago. Everyone knows that the emperor wants to move the Han King. The voices of support for the Han King are very high. Most of the cabinets also strongly support the crown prince. Now that the Han King has collapsed, it is of course a great benefit. It is better. However, everyone has always had hidden worries before. On the one hand, the Han King is not a good thing. His Majesty is now tearing apart. The Han King is far away in Datong. Who knows whether the Han King will do whatever he wants and just turn around. Once the border town is turbulent, the government and the people will be shocked. There are wolves around outside and a wall of disaster inside. That will really lead to a big disaster.
This time, Ji Gang was outstanding in his achievements. Not only did he stop a huge crisis, but he also took over the rebel Zhu Gaoxu. Everyone knows that Ji Gang and the King of Han have a very good relationship. It is rare for him to destroy his relatives for the sake of justice this time.
Xie Jin seemed a little calm about this matter, as if these were just trivial matters. He had morning tea as usual and planned to vote at his desk. At this time, the yellow gate came over and said, "Donald Jie, Your Majesty has an order. Please come to the warm room with the ministers of the cabinet to meet."
"Oh? I don't know what's going on?" Xie Jin raised his eyes, calm and gentle.
This yellow trick: "It involves the King of Han."
Before this, everyone expected that His Majesty would be summoned. After all, there should be an explanation for such a big deal about the King of Han. We can't keep being vague so much.
Xie Jin did not dare to neglect, so he hurried to the warm room with everyone and entered the warm room, but found that someone had arrived here.
The emperor's face was pale, as if he had grown a lot in a few days, and he seemed a little depressed. Today, he was always fierce, but today, he was very listless. When people just saw it, they knew that what happened recently had consumed too much of the emperor's mind.
The emperor's left hand was the crown prince Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi looked depressed and seemed a little unbelievable. He was full of surprise, but he just pursed his lips and didn't say a word.
It is worth mentioning that beside the prince, there is everyone's old acquaintance Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi was released from the imperial prison at some time and sat here with his back.
Opposite Yang Shiqi is Hao Fenglou. Hao Fenglou is neither the prince’s frustration nor the cautiousness of Yang Shiqi. From the outside, there is nothing strange or surprisingly calm, but he doesn’t know what he is thinking.
After seeing the etiquette, Zhu Di seemed a little powerless and said, "No need to pay more attention. I invite everyone to come here. There is one thing to discuss. Actually, I don't need to say it. I think you have heard of it. Everyone talks about it, let's talk about it. What should we do with this King of Han? Everyone says that it is Chou and Yin and Mao."
Everyone was silent and no one spoke.
Seeing this, Zhu Di actually smiled bitterly. He had a little white hair, so he could only sigh and said, "What, I don't want to say it? Since I don't say it, then I will throw away the bricks and attract jade first."
"I have a son who is very perverse. He relies on my favor and is usually arrogant and domineering. I used to think that he is a noble man and a domineering person, so he is very indulgent. He is so arrogant. But I didn't expect that he was brave enough to hide a golden sword and a dragon robe. After the incident, I expected him to repent and immediately rush back to the capital to apologize. But who knew that this evil son was even more anxious and wanted to make an act in Peking? What did he want to do? Do he want to rebel? If I don't deal with such a person, how can I use a warning to others? So what should I do? Let the ministers of later generations remember the duties of their subjects?"
It's funny to say that the King of Han followed the emperor everywhere and even learned this Jingnan. However, the King of Han could learn anything, but he could never learn this. Zhu Di's face was cold and cold, without any sympathy, and his eyes showed a fierce light: "I asked you all to come, just to ask a question, how to punish them, so that you can convince the public? You don't have to doubt, you can speak freely."
Speaking of this, everyone has to say a few words.
Prince Zhu Gaochi's eyes were red and swollen, and Qiqi Aiai said, "Father...Father...This matter is still questionable. You might as well wait for the King of Han to enter the capital. My father asked him the reason and ask him what injustice he had..."
Zhu Di was furious and angrily rebuked: "Injustice? What kind of injustice can he have? In fact, what kind of evidence can he have? You are the crown prince. He wants to rebel and seek my throne. Isn't you the crown prince? He wants to be Li Shimin, I am Li Yuan, and you can still be the emperor. Can you live like Li Jiancheng and your minister far away in Lingnan? A woman's kindness, a woman's kindness, as a crown prince, how can you be such a woman's kindness? How can you... This is true, regardless of good or bad, a real man should break it, otherwise one day will raise a tiger to be a disaster. Don't you understand these principles? I asked you to study more, not to let you learn from those corrupt scholars, but to let you understand the truth..."
Zhu Gaochi was so scared that his face turned pale and he said, "I will remember the teachings of my father and I will remember them in my heart."
Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin: "What do you say about Xie Qing?"
Xie Jin pondered: "Your Majesty, in fact, the prince is like this, and he is also concerned about his brotherhood. I dare to think that Your Majesty does not need to be too harsh. This matter is very important, so it is indeed better to be careful. I am also suggesting that it is better to make a long-term plan."
It is strange that the prince and Xie Jin had already hated the King of Han to the core, but who knew that at this time they began to excuse the King of Han.
Of course, they were so hypocritical to excuse me just to avoid suspicion. The prince was the brother of the King of Han after all, and it was most appropriate to say these words.
Hao Fenglou watched coldly, and wanted to laugh in his heart, because he knew that the prince and Xie Jin could be so calm because someone would definitely jump out to refute their views. This person... was Yang Shiqi.
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but look at Yang Shiqi, as if looking forward to what Yang Shiqi said.
Sure enough, Yang Shiqi then spoke, and Yang Shiqi said seriously: "It is ridiculous. The more serious the matter is, the more severe it should be punished. If one left plans for a long time and the other is to be discussed, the longer the matter will be delayed, it will cause uneasiness. Yang Shuo agreed with the words of Duke Jie. Instead, he thought that Your Majesty said something very much. He should be punished and suffered chaos. How many such things have happened in all dynasties? Now the rebellion of the King of Han has been revealed. If it had not been discovered early, people would inevitably suffer from disasters in the world. The world is in chaos. I believe that you must not be compassionate to the King of Han, and should be severely punished."
Yang Shiqi's attitude was actually not beyond anyone's expectations. The prince and Xie Jin could be hypocritical, but Yang Shiqi could not. Zhu Gaochi is a phoenix son and a vassal king. As long as he is still alive, or as long as he is open this time, who can guarantee that he will not rekindle and make a comeback. Yang Shiqi, who impeached the King of Han before, and Yang Shiqi, who made the King of Han "failure" in the future. If the King of Han still has a chance to turn over, he, Yang Shiqi, will truly die without a place to die.
Yang Shiqi was not willing to kill the King of Han, but now the situation is so he can no longer help.
