On the 21st day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Yongle, the army of the crimes entered the capital city gate almost at noon.
Yao Fang was released at Qingshou Temple and went out to pay homage to Wang. When he returned to the city, it was already afternoon.
He has calmed down a lot now and has some ideas in his heart; but hatred is still filled with his heart, thinking about how to take revenge!
He and two soldiers showed their seal at Hongwu Gate and walked into Qianbulang in the imperial city.
The head of the Han King is located in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, located on the east side of the middle of the Qianbulu.
Yao Fang didn't know what was special about the Ministry of Rites, and it was not the closest yamen to the palace.
However, Yao Fang quickly understood the reason: when the Jingnan Army entered the city, the Yàn King's residence was the Ministry of Rites; the King of Han just learned from the ancestors.
A country cannot be without a king for a day!Now the crown prince has lost his morality, and the lower officials invite the King of Han to succeed the throne... In the courtyard outside the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, the voice of a small official in green robe came.
Suddenly there was a noisy and a group of people followed suit.
The scene is a bit messy.
Yao Fang looked at the crowd casually when she walked over silently, watching the large group of people standing outside the lobby; in addition to the generals of the slaughter army with mud, most of the civil officials were middle- and low-level officials in blue official uniforms, and even less-affiliated officials in green robes.
Most of the people who couldn't wait to persuade them to come forward that day were depressed and unsuccessful Beijing officials in the Hongxi Dynasty.
The attack on the crime army entering the city is not a bad thing for them, but rather an opportunity that is hard to come by!
The officials of the court were more cautious about their faces and were more calm.
Whether it was the King of Yàn who entered Beijing or the King of Han now, there would be no shortage of officials; the Jianwen Dynasty, Hong Xi Dynasty, and all the courts, the people who were satisfied with the power and concentration of Wen Gao were a few.
Outside the lobby door, what is even more strange is that a civil servant was shuttled through the crowd, holding a booklet and a brush in his hand. He was writing records while asking the officials' names; a soldier was following behind him, holding an inkstone to serve.
The civil servant's surname is Hou because someone calls him Hou Changshi.
Yao Fang understood that these people were not trying to persuade them to advance, but were eager to take sides.
What do you have any suggestions? Go to the corridor next to you to see the affairs of the Pei Mansion and talk about it first.Well said, Pei Mansion will take you to see the prince.Hou Changshi shouted.
Yao Fang ignored these messy people. He walked to the door of the lobby and said to the guard at the door: Yao Fang, please see the prince, please inform me.
After a while, he was allowed to walk into the lobby.
There were a lot of people outside just now, and it was very messy; but there were no two people in the lobby, which seemed a little empty.
Zhu Gaoxu was still wearing armor and sat on the seat above. He supported his head with his arms, looking thoughtful. When he saw Yao Fang coming in, he looked up at this side.
Yao Fang stepped forward and bowed: The last general will pay homage to the prince.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Good come!We haven't seen each other for a long time.After he finished speaking, he immediately pointed to the young man next to him who was dressed in rags and seemed to have just come out of prison, and said, his name was Du Erlang.Du Erlang went home to clean up his body; you are all familiar with the affairs of the Jinyiweibei Town Fushi, so let’s take care of it first.
The King of Han did not have any extra words, nor did he speak or eruditely, and his speed was faster. He seemed to be still worried about something important in his heart.
The last one will get orders!Yao Fang said with the embarrassed Du Erlang.Yao Fang has no interest in official positions at all and just wants to take revenge.The hatred of killing your mother, the hatred of killing your wife!
At this time, Yao Fang was still standing there.Sure enough, Zhu Gaoxu was a very alert person. He frowned slightly and asked: What else does General Yao report?
Yao Fang said: Daoyan, the head of Qingshou Temple, is the crown prince's gangster.The assassination of the late emperor must have been planned by Daoyan himself, and this is the culprit...
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Yao Fang with a divine look and quickly responded: General Yao's mother's death has a lot to do with him, and your father has also been wronged for many years.I know you have family feud.
Yao Fang didn't say anything and agreed to the matter.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: How could I have no hatred in my heart?But at this point, private grudges must be put aside first and put the overall situation first, and then talk about it when the situation is stabilized!
Daoyan is the confidant of the late emperor and has no grudge against the late emperor. If the death of the late emperor is blamed on Daoyan, it will be difficult to convince people, and it will instead drag down the credibility of interpreting the whole thing!Harmful but not beneficial.
After hearing this, Yao Fang was helpless and felt that what Zhu Gaoxu said made sense, so she had to give up this method and think of another method.He bowed: I understand.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: We are now turning over, there is no need to lose our own interests for revenge.General Yao must learn to think from multiple sources and go further in the future.
Yao Fang bowed and said, "The last general will obey the prince's order, and now he will go to the Jinyiwei Yamen to do business."
...Watching Yao Fang's back walk out of the door of the lobby, Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples for a while, and continued to think about his current path to ascending the throne.
There are two factors in the legitimacy of his throne.The orthodoxy of the late emperor Zhu Di doesn’t need to worry about it, just sing it in the edict of the throne; the key is to prove that the Crown Prince Gao Chi is extremely illegal!
At this point, Gao Chi is certainly illegal, because the attacking army has entered the city; Zhu Gaoxu has the final say in everything!
But because of this, people in the world question whether Gao Chi's party really planned to kill the king and the father; if this matter could be explained credibly, Zhu Gaoxu's throne would be more stable in the future.
When we met at the Imperial Gate, the elder brother proposed to write an edict to pass on the fault to the minister.
If Zhu Gaoxu takes the plan and get Gao Chi's guilt and ascends the throne first; wait until he takes the throne, then settle the accounts and reconclude the death of the late emperor... that is the fastest way to ascend the throne.
Zhu Gaoxu did not do that in the end, nor did he make any promises to his elder brother.
So now that Zhu Gaoxu wants to ascend the throne immediately, he suddenly feels a little headache.
The confidant advisers Qi Tai and Gao Xianning were not in the capital; the chief Hou Hai was smart in small matters, and his talents were very limited in big ways... And the plans proposed by those officials who wanted to gain some of the achievements of the dragon were even more ridiculous and would not work at all!
Zhu Gaoxu stood up from the seat, paced back and forth above the lobby, lowering his head to ponder.
His current state of mind is a bit impetuous, and his ecstasy and complacentness to enter the capital have become an unfavorable factor that affects him.
After the complete victory of the Battle of Crime, the danger on the battlefield is no longer there, but things are not finished and many things are still imminent.
The sun had already shone into the lobby from a high window to the west. Zhu Gaoxu took a look at the angle of the sun and guessed that the sun was west and wasting a while, it was about to be the hour of You.
He suddenly felt a little anxious.
On the first day of entering the capital, except for controlling the entire city and the imperial palace step by step, the central army almost did not come up with any effective strategies.
Thinking about it tomorrow, is it too late?
It doesn't matter if you ascend the throne one day later or one day later.
But Zhu Gaoxu always has a sense of urgency, perhaps because he is used to fighting; on the battlefield, some things must be decided immediately, not to mention delaying one day or one hour, it may also cause serious consequences!
At this moment, a guard came in with a wooden plate, put a cup of freshly brewed tea on the court, then bowed to Zhu Gaoxu and left the lobby.
Zhu Gaoxu walked back to the court, picked up the teacup, and looked at the sunlight from the window on the wall.
He uncovered the lid and gently smeared the hot tea with the lid, and a fragrance came to his nose.
He forced himself to control his emotions and gradually restored his mood to normal and calm.
Countless related people were chaotic, flashing through his mind as if he was abrupt. He felt a little unable to grasp the key points.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu put down the teacup and blurted out: Xue Yan!
As he made a sound, the generals and guards in the sect looked at each other.
Zhu Gaoxu looked like he suddenly realized his mind, and showed a joyful expression on his face. He pointed at a general and said: Xue Yan, go and summon Xue Yan to see him immediately!After saying that, he immediately said, "The person has arrived, and he took him to the signing room to meet me alone."
The general clasped his fists and said: The last general got the order!
Zhu Gaoxu let out a long breath, turned around and walked towards the north side of the hall.After passing through the hall, there is another deep courtyard, where the second hall, the signing room, etc.
Zhu Gaoxu probably knew what kind of mentality he was thinking about when his elder brother Gao Chi asked Xue Yan to investigate the death of the late emperor; plus Gao Chi's request at noon today... Zhu Gaoxu understood his elder brother's thoughts better.
However, it was Xue Yan's investigation of the case that caused a huge loophole in Gao Chi's party!
Zhu Gaoxu walked into a signing room under the Ministry of Rites and sat inside for a while.
At this time, Xue Yan, wearing black veil and red robe, was brought in by a military general.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and the general bowed his fists and said withdrew.
Xue Yan turned his head slightly and glanced at the avoiding general, then bowed and said, "Xue Yan, the Minister of Dali Temple, Xiaguan, pay homage to His Highness the King of Han."
Zhu Gaoxu looked thoughtful and raised his head and pointed to the chair next to him.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu said directly: Xue Siqing, are you willing to join me and serve me now?
Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a moment, then asked carefully: The prince will no longer pursue the fault of the subordinates?
certainly!Zhu Gaoxu said, and then said very skillfully that my credit is very good, and even Zhang Fu, the "General of Pinghan", could trust my conditions.
Xue Yan's face suddenly showed a deal-making expression, after all, he had too few choices.
He immediately knelt down on the ground, looking grateful and said: The emperor thanked the prince, and was willing to follow the prince to serve his work!
It's easy to say.Get up!Zhu Gaoxu said, please help me with something now.This matter cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for one day, the credibility will drop by 90%.We'd better do it today!
Xue Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Please tell me."
Yao Fang was released at Qingshou Temple and went out to pay homage to Wang. When he returned to the city, it was already afternoon.
He has calmed down a lot now and has some ideas in his heart; but hatred is still filled with his heart, thinking about how to take revenge!
