In fact, this is not the only thing that is truly shocking.
Normally, a vassal king should express his attitude properly. However, this Chongwang Zhu Youxi was not very smart. The imperial envoy urged him very hard. He may have said a few harsh words and his words were a bit sharp. This Chongwang was a little uncomfortable. It¡¯s so bearable.
On a windy and dark night, Zhu Youxi actually burned down his palace. As a result, the fire broke out in Prince Chong's palace, and Zhu Youxi and several concubines were burned to death.
This game was a bit too much, and it was obvious that King Chong was not mentally tolerant, and this game went viral.
This also shows that the so-called IQ of the clan is actually a bit reluctant. If you say you want to refuse, just refuse. Can others still kill you? Will you die if you pretend to be crazy? Just play the trick of setting fire. As a result, the imperial envoy was paralyzed with fear and looked up to the sky speechlessly.
The news spread back to the capital again, dooming bad luck this year.
There was an uproar in public opinion, and the anger that had been suppressed finally broke out.
King Anlu was executed in the name of rebellion, which brought harm to his family. Everyone could bear it, but those who couldn't bear it were already dead. After all, he only had one life.
"Then came Zhu Yourong, the crown prince of Prince De. Although Zhu Yourong was pretending to be crazy, everyone knew what was going on. The court said Zhu Yourong was crazy, but in everyone's opinion, it was the court that drove Zhu Yourong crazy.
Now, a good prince actually says that if he sets fire to himself, he will burn himself. The king is not afraid of death, but afraid of going to Beijing to regent. What does this mean?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The ministers, the Qing Yi, and the clan had very little relation, and neither was displeased with the other, and they had not had any contact with each other, but now, the desolation of the clan has made the ministers miserable.
I can't bear it anymore.
The capital was in chaos, and the ministers did not even attend to their official duties. When they came to the Yamen every day, they gathered together to criticize the current situation. The scholars in the wine shops and teahouses were even more outrageous, and everyone yelled and cursed. There are also many literati who have come up with many tricks to commemorate Zhu Youruan, which is nothing more than writing poems to commemorate the prince and insinuating the fratricide among the royal families.
This is a bit too much fun.
Who is Zhu Youruan? Now he has been defined as a rebel. A rebel, there are people everywhere praising him, remembering him, and even summoning his soul everywhere. This is not a memory, it is clearly an opportunity to slander the palace.
"All kinds of rumors are pervasive. Today it is said that a certain king in a certain place has raised an army, and what will happen tomorrow? Literati are the best at making up stories, and they can make up stories one after another.
What¡¯s even more shameful is that I don¡¯t know which guy actually wrote a book.
This book is about the story of Wu Zetian. It is nothing more than Wu Zetian favoring a certain vassal king, how and how
Don't underestimate this kind of novel. This kind of novel clearly contains metaphors. If you look carefully, you can match the current characters with the characters in the story. Wu Zetian is naturally a metaphor for the Empress Dowager Zhang. As for the person in front of her. First-in-law and consort
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
In fact, Queen Mother Zhang was already mad.
These rumors and various criticisms almost drove her crazy.
Her mood was extremely bad, and a letter of impeachment was delivered to the palace, demanding severe punishment for the King of Chu, demanding that the Queen Mother not interfere in politics, and demanding that the clan be immediately invited to the capital to ascend the throne as emperor. Obviously, the scholar was already planning to bayonet him. famous.
Liu Chengfeng, who had been dormant for a long time, was immediately summoned to the palace.
These days, Liu Chengfeng didn't provoke anyone, and he behaved well every day. Occasionally, he came to the palace to see his son and the princess, and occasionally met Empress Dowager Zhang, and rarely spoke to her. Business.
Today, he knew that Queen Mother Zhang was cornered and it was time to take action on her own.
He put on a python suit, and hundreds of armored guards surrounded him. Today was different from the past, and the defense was naturally as tight as possible. There was no room for any mistakes. People who wanted Liu Chengfeng's life now would not There are one thousand, but there will definitely be eight hundred. Liu Chengfeng is afraid of death and never takes such things lightly.
Entering the palace from the Meridian Gate, you go directly to the Zhengxin Hall.
In the Zhengxin Hall, Queen Mother Zhang received him.
Queen Mother Zhang really put a lot of thought into arranging the meeting here, and summoning her here shows that Queen Mother Zhang wants to talk about business.
Liu Chengfeng bowed and knelt down on the ground. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother did not let Liu Chengfeng get up.
Liu Chengfeng could only kneel.
Queen Mother Zhang looked at him coldly.
The person in front of her is certainly her closest relative, but now, if Empress Dowager Zhang can't understand what's going on, she would be really stupid.
From King Anlu to BeijingFrom the beginning to now, it was all arranged by the person in front of her. After Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly realized it, her eyes looked different when she looked at Liu Chengfeng.
What she saw was no longer an obedient relative or a submissive minister. She saw the ambition exuding from this person and saw his dark side.
This is a gentle person, but he also has a ruthless side. He is bright and dark, straightforward and profound, and unpredictable.
Queen Mother Zhang never spoke, just stared at him.
????????????????????????????????????????????????? She sighed and said: "Why did you get to this point? How did the late emperor tell you when he was here? The emperor did not treat you poorly."
Liu Chengfeng sighed in his heart and said solemnly: "Wei Chen will always bear in mind the kindness of the late emperor. Wei Chen is of course loyal to His Majesty, and has the same heart for the Emperor."
This sentence can be understood inversely. To Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao, he is naturally loyal to Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao, but to others, it is a different matter. There is nothing wrong with his loyalty to Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao, but this does not It means that he will not play tricks and tricks, and will not take action against the clan king.
Empress Dowager Zhang snorted coldly: "You don't need to say anymore. The Ai family is now going to choose another clan to come to Beijing to serve as regent. I hope you won't play tricks this time. As for the Ai family, they are useless. When the clan comes to Beijing, the Ai family will Move to another palace to survive, Liu Chengfeng, the Ai family hopes that you will be a loyal minister."
Liu Chengfeng sighed and said, "If the Queen Mother does this, she and the ministers will be killed."
Queen Mother Zhang¡¯s eyes flickered and she said nothing.
Liu Chengfeng said: "The clan and ministers hate the Queen Mother and the ministers deeply. Once the vassal king comes to the capital and allows them to gain a foothold, what does the Queen Mother think will happen?"
Liu Chengfeng said coldly: "At that time, it will be a different scene. If the regent wants to establish his authority, he must attack the minor ministers. And if he wants to get rid of it once and for all, the only way is to eradicate the roots, confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. The minor minister has three wives. , has a son and a daughter, and would never dare to take risks with them. The same goes for the Queen Mother. If the Regent is dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, he will naturally not go directly to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother also has clan members, and the Zhang brothers usually go with Wei Chen Too close, when the time comes, the Zhang family will be afraid"
Queen Mother Zhang was expressionless, but Liu Chengfeng could clearly see a hint of fear deep in Queen Mother Zhang's eyes.
It is not that Empress Dowager Zhang cannot see this scene. Judging from the words of scholars, she will never be merciful when she counterattacks in the future. And the clan is probably more resentful towards the royal family.
If Empress Dowager Zhang does this, it is tantamount to digging her own grave. No matter who the regent is, she is still someone else's child after all. It is simply wishful thinking to expect other people's children to have any feelings for her, the Empress Dowager. If there are more ministers making noises, the consequences will be One can imagine.
Queen Mother Zhang closed her eyes, sighed, and then said: "I didn't expect it to reach this point. All this you didn't do it behind your back. Why did you do this? Why?"
Liu Chengfeng's answer was righteous. He said sternly: "Because Wei Chen can no longer look back. Wei Chen has no way out. Just like the Queen Mother today, Wei Chen has no choice. Behind Wei Chen, there is the Empress Dowager." There are too many people, and there are too many benefits. A humble minister cannot back down. Once he shrinks, sooner or later, many people will be killed, and many people will lose their money and family. Once the emperor and his court ministers, a humble minister can be sorry for himself, but he must not be sorry for those. In the eyes of the Queen Mother, those who share the joys and sorrows with Wei Chen, and who live and die with Wei Chen, may be just an excuse, and may not understand Wei Chen's situation, but Wei Chen can only answer the Queen Mother this way: I, Liu Chengfeng, have been favored by the late Emperor. It has been six years. In the past six years, there have been both new policies and reforms. In order to increase the annual income, Wei Chen has ruined the jobs of too many people. For the sake of peace in the world, Wei Chen is fearless and moves forward indomitably, because in Wei Chen Behind Wei Chen, there are too many enthusiastic people who support Wei Chen. There are too many people whose interests are consistent with Wei Chen. Now Wei Chen can't go back, and they can't go back either. At this point, Apart from losing everything, what else can Wei Chen do?"
Liu Chengfeng sighed and continued: "I hope the Queen Mother will be considerate and understand the difficulties of the humble minister."
Queen Mother Zhang was dumbfounded for a moment. She originally thought that she should be the righteous person, but who knew that Liu Chengfeng was even more righteous than him? It seemed that all this was her fault.
But what Liu Chengfeng said was not unreasonable. Empress Dowager Zhang had been struggling in this whirlpool for too many years. How could she not know the dangers of this temple? Now that she came in, now that she was at Liu Chengfeng's level, Liu Chengfeng really had no choice.
This is no longer a dispute between personal grudges, nor a struggle between one group and another, but an emerging class.??A duel between the old classes, it's either/or, and whoever's heels are facing an abyss. Unless they win from this bloody battle, tens of thousands of people will perish.
There are no rules, no fairness, nothing in this game. Everyone only believes in one thing: whoever can seize the hot power can make the other party die without a burial place.
