Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Unitary time. (Around six o'clock in the evening.)

After Zhu Cihong explained everything, he was waiting for tomorrow's court meeting, such a big thing as the eight traitors in Shanxi, it must be a court meeting, with the participation of hundreds of officials, to find out Zhou Yanru's comrades, and then the three law divisions will try and convict and notify the world.

Seeing that it was getting late, the bowl of noodles eaten in front of him was a little unpleasant, and when he was going to let Jiang Xuezhu cook a bowl, he saw Wang Chengen outside walking into the East Palace.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor asked the slave maid to invite His Royal Highness to go to Kunning Palace to dine together.

Wang Chengen walked to the door of the main hall and said with a smile.

"Handlebars.

Zhu Cihong stood up, but he hadn't gone to ask for peace for many days, so he followed him to Kunning Palace.

At this moment, in Kunning Palace, the emperor and the empress were already sitting, chatting about family life, while Kun Xing, Zhu Cixuan (Xuan), and Zhu Cijiong were all sitting around the dinner table and laughing.

"The child is for the father and the emperor, and the queen mother is in peace.

As soon as Zhu Cihong entered, he saluted the two of them.

"I've seen the prince's brother. When

the three saw Zhu Cihong coming in, they also ran over to salute.

"Let's eat.

Seeing this, Chongzhen stood up and sat at the head of the dining table, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to take a seat.

The family ate at the dinner table, because Chongzhen was sitting here, and even Kunxing, who was usually more lively, ate obediently and didn't say much.

"I heard that you have recently killed a lot of eunuchs who are celebrants, including Bingbi.

Chongzhen asked suddenly.

"Although you have sent all the evidence of these people's crimes to me, there is no need to kill them so much, and it is really too much to involve the relevant people.

Before Zhu Cihong could answer, he continued, there are a few eunuchs who are Chongzhen's more trusted people, and they were killed by the prince, to be honest, Chongzhen still cares a little in his heart.

"Father, Wang Dehua has done a lot of evil, the traditional Guanglu Temple, the Shangshan supervisor embezzled the public funds of the imperial diet in the palace, if he didn't kill him, these eunuchs would only go too far in the future. Of

course, Zhu Cihong knew that the emperor was talking about Wang Dehua, after all, he was the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

"This time, the child copied a lot of silver from these eunuchs and the officials of Guanglu Temple, a total of two million taels, and sent it to his father's inner treasury tomorrow. "

What!"

Chongzhen's eyes widened when he heard that he had actually copied so much silver from his house, and said angrily: "A few eunuchs and a few officials of Guanglu Temple can actually embezzle so much silver?" "

This is all the silver spent in the palace, I and the queen are trying their best to save money, they are actually greedy for two million, good, good killing!".

After Chongzhen scolded a few words, he didn't say anything more about it, and suddenly felt very tired in his heart, he had been deceived by the eunuchs around him for so many years, and he didn't know that he was so tired and difficult.

Zhu Cihong looked at his father's appearance, and thought to himself that it was most useful to settle accounts in real time, and to send money, it was not enough to just show his father the crime.

"Well, that's good.

Zhu Cihong picked up a piece of chicken and said with a smile: "The food of this Shang Food Bureau is better than the food of the Shang Food Bureau." "

It's delicious, so I'll accompany my wife more."

Seeing this, Queen Zhou smiled and gave a piece of meat to Zhu Cihong.

"Slave and maid thank His Highness for complimenting. When

the female official of the Shangshi Bureau, who was standing aside and waiting, heard this, she immediately saluted and thanked her.

......

Early in the morning of the second day.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, hundreds of officials gathered here.

"Lord Qian, congratulations on the reinstatement of the official.

In the crowd, Qian Qianyi smiled humbly and said, "It's all His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who carries love."

Although he smiled humbly on his face, he was a little proud in his heart, he was originally framed by Wen Tiren and dismissed from his post, but he didn't expect to be reused by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now.

"Now that Brother Qian is being reused by His Royal Highness the Prince, is there anything to announce at today's court meeting, let me reveal. Seven

or eight people wearing red official uniforms surrounded Qian Qianyi and asked, most of these people were from the Donglin Party, and they used to be close to Qian Qianyi.

"Well, I don't know.

Qian Qianyi smiled faintly, and took the opportunity to walk out of the crowd, subconsciously wanting to keep a distance from this group of people, and walked towards Fan Jingwen and a few people, these pavilion elders are now members of His Royal Highness the Prince, of course he wants to get closer to this group of people.

"Elder Fan Ge

, now that the position of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry is vacant, has Your Highness said that there is a candidate for the post?" Qian Qianyi inquired, he is now a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he still has a chance to fight for it, he talked to His Highness yesterday, and then gave him the task, so he naturally feels that he has a good relationship with His Highness now.

"Lord Qian, Your Highness didn't say anything about this, nor did you ask us to recommend candidates, but you can go and tell Your Highness yourself.

Fan Jingwen looked at Qian Qianyi, of course he knew what the other party was thinking.

Qian Qianyi smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

"Hundred officials enter the hall!" Suddenly

, a screeching voice sounded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" "The ministers and others see His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Zhu

Cihong, who was dressed in court clothes, walked into the hall, raised his hand to signal everyone to be exempted, and then sat down at the desk that had been prepared a long time ago.

At a glance, the entire hall was full of people, all the red official uniforms in front of them, and slowly back, it was other colors, until the outside of the hall was full of people.

It doesn't matter whether the officials outside the palace participate in the deliberations or not, but they must come when the morning court begins.

"This time I started the early dynasty, mainly there is one thing to say.

Zhu Cihong said loudly, and the officials below also listened quietly.

"A few days ago, 8,000 soldiers of our army robbed and killed 1,000 Manchu Qing Eight Banners soldiers in a valley outside Zhangjiakou, and captured the first-class guard Sony alive.

"They also intercepted on the spot, 120 truckloads of goods, after reporting, these merchants are all from Shanxi, and eight of them have fornicated with the Manchus, transporting materials, weapons, intelligence, etc. to the Manchus, and they have been secretly collaborating with the enemy country

for ten years!" "But how can a mere businessman collaborate with the enemy for ten years without being discovered, Jinyiwei learned from these people that there are people in the court who are actually backers for these traitors!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was talking about it, and they all looked incredible, you look at me, I look at you, they are all shocked, who is it, who is it, who actually has such great courage!

Collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, if this is true, the crime will be big, not only is it a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans, but it will also be pointed out by thousands of people.

"Who is it

!" "Your Highness, who is it!" Soon

, several civil officials roared angrily, although this was a group of corrupt people in the Ming Dynasty, but there were also some loyal and patriotic ministers among them.

"Your Highness, the minister has a play!" Li

Banghua immediately stood up.

"Exactly.

Zhu Cihong said.

"The minister received a tip-off report that Zhou Yanru, the former first assistant, was the backer of the eight traitors in Shanxi!"

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly exploded, and they all shouted that they wanted to arrest Zhou Yanru and come back, and the nine clans would be wiped out.

And which officials who were good friends with Zhou Yanru changed their faces and their hearts were pounding, they did collect money, but they didn't know that the eight families in Shanxi actually dared to collaborate with the enemy, thinking that they were just going to do business outside the customs.

"Your Highness, the minister has a play!" Soon

, Qian Qianyi also stood up, his face filled with righteous indignation.
