A few days later, another news from the court reached Beitongzhou. This time, Yang Tinghe also came back. He returned to the capital to meet with the Queen Mother and put forward several of Zhu Youruan's "requests". At this time, Queen Mother Zhang also Riding a tiger, it was difficult to get off, and finally recruited a regent. I thought that the situation could be stabilized for the time being. Unexpectedly, King Anlu didn't know what was good and what was good, and actually played a game of raising the price from the ground to the ground.
????????????????????? But it¡¯s not enough not to agree at this time. The whole world knows that King Anlu is coming, and everyone knows that the regent is going to take charge of the overall situation. After all, it is not the case for people to spend time in Beitongzhou now. Coupled with Yang Tinghe's repeated persuasion, Mrs. Zhang reluctantly agreed.
This agreement was not only reluctant, but also tinged with displeasure. This is already the case before we arrive. If we arrive in the capital, who knows what will happen in the future?
It¡¯s just that Empress Dowager Zhang is a woman after all. Deep in her heart, she still remembers the late emperor and how the late emperor did things. She has the ability to learn. When encountering this kind of thing, the late emperor will consult the ministers and pay attention to their opinions. The ministers unanimously agreed, and Queen Mother Zhang could not find fault for the moment.
??The East Palace is the East Palace, and the Daming Gate is the Daming Gate. He is the regent after all, and he should be treated with some courtesy.
Yang Tinghe met Zhu Youruan again. Zhu Youruan was overjoyed when he heard that Empress Dowager Zhang accepted it in full.
In the past, he was just an inconspicuous vassal king. Not to mention the people in the palace, even the civil and military officials in the dynasty might not take a second look at him, but it is different now. Now he has become the focus of everyone's attention. This feeling made Zhu Youruan very comfortable.
but¡¡
Zhu Youruan was still a little unhappy. Although he greeted Yang Tinghe more enthusiastically this time, when the time was almost up, he said coldly: "I heard that King Chu was very resistant to this matter, and even said that, I am just a vassal king, living in the East Palace and entering and exiting the Daming Gate is treacherous?"
Yang Tinghe said: "Yes, the King of Chu is strongly opposed to it."
Zhu Youruan snorted coldly and said: "This is strange. My surname is Zhu, and he, an outsider named Liu, dares to speak so brazenly. This person really has evil intentions. Just wait and see, when I arrive. The capital master is naturally more handsome than him."
Yang Tinghe remained silent. He had already expected Zhu Youruan's harsh words. Think about it, King Anlu will be governing the country as regent, which means that from now on, he will become a new ruler of the Ming Dynasty. , it¡¯s just that the regent is less legitimate than the emperor. At this time, he needs to establish his prestige and make others obey his words. How can it be possible if he doesn¡¯t show his authority?
Since it is a show of force, it cannot be used casually. People with too low status are obviously not qualified. Not only will it not be effective, they may even be laughed at. But you can't accidentally hurt one of your own. In this case, isn't the King of Chu just the right person? What is he doing as a vassal king staying in the capital? Moreover, he is still the emperor's die-hard loyalist. He uses the emperor's name to disgust himself every day. If he doesn't deal with it, who will deal with it?
Zhu Youruan was fully prepared. On the one hand, he installed his own people in the palace, got rid of Zhang Yong, and replaced him with his own domestic slave. Although this person may not be able to control the factory guards, he can control them. The palace is enough. As for the capital, there were three major battalions and King Qin¡¯s army, and he had an orthodox national surname. What could Liu Chengfeng do?
Zhu Youruan decided to leave. In fact, he stayed here just to bargain, but his mind had already flown to Beijing, where he would start a new life. If nothing else, he would imitate himself. His father and brother became the masters of this graceful country.
Zhu Youruan set out towards the pinnacle of his glory.
When he arrived in the capital, it was already noon the next day. The Queen Mother indeed gave him face, or the court gave him a great deal of face. All the civil and military officials headed by Li Dongyang came to pick him up, and groups of knights came to meet him. Protected on both wings, it is very spectacular.
Wearing a python suit, Zhu Youruan personally helped Li Dongyang, who was bowing down to him, and gave a few words of encouragement in a gentle tone. Then he looked at the Forbidden City from a distance, his Adam's apple couldn't help but twitch, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Zhang Yong knelt at Liu Chengfeng's feet, full of grievances.
The day before yesterday, Empress Dowager Zhang made a compromise with Zhu Youruan, and the result of the compromise was that he would get out immediately on the charge of unfavorable performance. After finally getting to this point, Zhang Yong was naturally full of grievances.
He came to say goodbye.
He will leave soon, heading to Xiaoling Mausoleum to guard the mausoleum for the late emperor.
"Your Highness, you take this very seriously." Zhang Yong kowtowed to Liu Chengfeng, feeling sad and full of thoughts.?.
His arms still couldn't hold his thighs, and he was told to get out by name. Even the King of Chu couldn't protect him.
"However, this precious sentence has a different meaning. It is not only a farewell phrase, but also a warning.
"Zhang Yong is Liu Chengfeng's man. Now everyone in the world knows that it is Zhang Yong today, but tomorrow you may not know who it is."
Liu Chengfeng sat still, watching Zhang Yong tremble slightly and his face turned livid.
Sitting nearby were several Liu Chengfeng¡¯s confidants, including Qian Fang of the New Army, Chen Hongyu of Jin Yiwei, Jiao Fang of the cabinet, and some important backbone members.
Everyone was full of grief and anger, but Jiao Fang's face remained normal.
This time, most of the officials in the court went to greet Zhu Youruan, but Jiao Fang did not move. Anyway, he was already a die-hard Liu Party member. Even if he moved, others would not take a fancy to him. At this point, Jiao Fang was He is very smart. He will never act haphazardly unless absolutely necessary. People who act haphazardly will not end well.
So he took advantage of this opportunity and rushed here immediately.
"Your Highness." Jiao Fang twirled his beard and said, "The Regent is clearly targeting His Highness for doing this. If His Highness doesn't do anything, he will inevitably be looked down upon. I think the Regent wants to give His Highness a slap in the face. If Zhang Yong is released to Xiaoling, people will inevitably have doubts in the future. Why not go to the palace to see the Queen Mother immediately? In any case, please ask the Queen Mother to take back her life. As long as Zhang Yong can be saved, the Regent thought I'm afraid it's not easy to control His Highness."
He paused and then said: "What's more, the position of eunuch in charge of the inner factory is very important. If it falls into the hands of the regent, it will be very detrimental to His Highness."
Liu Chengfeng remained motionless, his eyes fell on Zhang Yong, and said: "What did Eunuch Zhang say?"
Zhang Yongdao: "I naturally hope to stay in the capital, but"
Chen Hongyu said angrily: "You just rely on your surname Zhu, do you think you can control the factory guard? Now he has captured Zhang Yong, and the next one will be the Jin Yiwei. Your Highness, Mr. Jiao is right, we must fight back."
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "What to fight back? He is the regent of the clan, and he has the decree of the Queen Mother. It is not easy to fight back."
Chen Hongyu was speechless for a moment, and then said in annoyance: "If it doesn't work, let Jin Yiwei arrest some people and see how he does."
This is the stupidest method, and now it is inferior. Liu Chengfeng shook his head.
Qian Fang said: "There are also doubts on the New Army side. From various indications, once the regent has established a firm foothold, he is afraid that he will be purged. Your Highness, the regent has let King Qin's troops enter the capital. In fact, we can see the clues. , this clearly means that he does not trust the new army and is wary of His Highness."
Everyone here nodded. This can be regarded as the biggest crisis they have ever encountered. Their opponent is even more powerful than Liu Jin, because this person represents the power of the regent and his reputation.
Liu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You guys just can't stand the grievance. It's because I have been too indulgent to you. Now you feel a little aggrieved, as if it's a big deal. King Anlu is indeed targeting me. It is true that there is nothing wrong with being wary of me, but he is the regent and I am just the vassal king, so what can I do? Be careful and be patient. As for Zhang Yong, I am afraid that he will be aggrieved for the time being. As for you, you should also be cautious during these times. , don¡¯t let anyone find fault with you, this¡ is still the Ming Dynasty after all.¡±
Qian Fang frowned. Liu Chengfeng's meaning was too clear. Although forbearance is a solution, there will be no good results if this continues.
¡°After all, the only people around King Chu who are truly committed are the backbones, and everyone else is just a vassal. Once Liu Chengfeng refuses to come forward and blindly tolerates it, allowing the regent to deal with Zhang Yong at will, what will the people below think? His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that King Chu was planning to return to his own territory? If he returns to the vassal territory, everyone in the capital will really have no one to rely on, and will be at the disposal of the regent.
In fact, it was not just Jiao Fang who was worried, everyone here was worried about this, so everyone remained silent and looked gloomy.
Liu Chengfeng frowned and said, "Why don't you say anything? Do you think what I said is not good? Or are you not convinced?"
Chen Hongyu couldn't help but said: "I'm a little dissatisfied. It's not that I mean to contradict you. It's just that the brothers are following His Highness. Now they are all relying on His Highness's protection. Today, when His Highness gives an order, the brothers have nothing to say when they go up the mountain of swords and the sea of ??fire, but they just endure it." , I¡¯m so humble, but I think it¡¯s chilling, Your Highness, I can¡¯t bear it.¡±
Liu Chengfeng glared at Chen Hongyu, and then looked at everyone coldly: "You and Chen Hongyu think the same way?"
Everyone nodded and said, "To be honest, what Mr. Chen said is right."?. "
Liu Chengfeng sighed and said, "Why do you want to force me?"
Everyone was silent again.
Liu Chengfeng stood up, supported the table with his hands, and said slowly: "I can understand your difficulties when you have come to this point. If this is the case, then you can't bear it anymore. If you want to shake the world, then I will Give you an earth-shattering one.¡±
