Chapter 413 Rebuke Donggong! Lawbreakers, behead!
"Your Highness, did you see the fire? I did all this for your Highness, even if you have to be decapitated because of it, I have no regrets!"
By the street outside the gate of Chen Zizhuang's mansion, Donggong Youyude Zhang Penghe was looking at the fire that made half of the sky red, and said to the prince next to him.
The prince also nodded at this time: "I see! But Mr. Why, you said it was done for this palace? Could it be that you started the fire?"
Zhang Penghe bowed directly in front of the prince: "I dare not lie to Your Highness, this fire was indeed set by me and other officials of the Eastern Palace."
"How dare you!"
The crown prince was shocked when he heard this, and said: "How dare you murder the great scholars of the current dynasty! Moreover, you are the Minister of Planning and Planning who is favored by the emperor and has joined the Planning and Planning Department!"
Then, the prince asked again: "Why did you do this?"
At this time, Zhang Penghe replied: "Your Highness, Chen Zizhuang may have done this to prevent the foreign barbarians from being able to easily become the masters of the Han people in the world after entering China in the future, and to deny the existence of the theory of destiny! But it may also be for the future. Uncle Guo is wearing a yellow robe and getting ready! In short, what he says now is destroying your foundation, we are His Highness's subordinates, how can we not give up our lives to fight for His Highness?"
"You mean he wants to add a yellow robe to his uncle?"
The prince asked in surprise after hearing this.
"It is not ruled out that there is no such possibility."
Zhang Penghe replied, and said: "That's why I want him to shut up, Chen Zizhuang, forever! Furthermore, there will be no greater incidents between His Highness and Uncle Guo in the future!"
"In short, instead of letting these villains with ulterior motives create chaos and do Zhao Pu's things, it is better to get rid of them first and then quickly! lest my Daming Ancestral Temple be broken!"
The prince did not speak, and only asked after a long time: "Before you do such a thing, why don't you ask me if you are willing?"
Zhang Penghe said: "Of course His Highness cannot let His Highness know about this matter, and His Highness should not be directly involved."
The crown prince was very sullen, but he didn't attack, he just said: "I want to go back to the palace!"
Zhang Penghe said: "The ministers will send His Highness back to the palace, and now His Highness is invited to come out, just to show His Highness the fire, and also to alarm His Majesty, so that His Majesty can come out of the laboratory."
So, next, Zhang Penghe and others really escorted the prince back to Xiyuan.
…
"My lord, the crown prince came down accompanied by the officials of the East Palace, and said he wanted to see you."
At this time, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran towards Tianqi to report.
Tian Qi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and at the same time took a look at Zhang Gui, and said: "You are right, it seems that the crown prince really went out quietly with them, these East Palace officials, why are they doing such nonsense! Do you want to Do you have a future in the East Palace?!"
"Maybe they are too loyal to His Highness."
Zhang Gui replied.
Tian Qi snorted, and said, "Prince Chuan and Zhang Penghe come in!"
So, not long after, the crown prince and Zhang Penghe appeared in front of Tian Qi, Zhang Gui, Wei Zhongxian and others.
Tian Qi asked the prince first: "Prince, where have you been?"
The crown prince replied: "Mr. Zhang took his son out of the palace for a private visit."
"Who told you to go out at will! Did you get my permission?!"
Tianqi suddenly turned into a strict father and yelled at the prince.
Zhang Gui saw this and said: "Your Majesty calm down! Your Highness just wants to understand the people's sentiments. As a prince, you should have some thoughts."
Tian Qi said: "That can't be without rules, if you want to go out, you must first ask me to agree!"
Zhang Penghe prostrated himself on the ground at this time, and voluntarily admitted: "I have failed your Majesty's expectations. But I have done this for the sake of my Ming Dynasty's ancestral temple, so even if I have to die because of it, I will not regret it!"
Tian Qi waved his hand and said: "It's not that serious! It's just taking the prince out of the palace, how can I not let me know."
"No, Your Majesty, the ministers have indeed committed a heinous crime, and used some cruel methods that should not be done by a gentleman!"
Zhang Penghe replied.
"Um?"
Tianqi asked in a vague way.
Zhang Penghe smiled at the corner of his mouth at this time: "Your Majesty must have known about the burning of Chen Gebu by now."
Tianqi's face darkened after hearing this: "What did you do?"
Zhang Penghe immediately replied: "I dare not deceive the emperor! It is the minister who killed Chen Gebu for the crown prince! Because this person is so arrogant, he actually denies the theory of destiny, and intends to prepare for the usurpation of the uncle in the future!"
"You are bold!"
Tian Qi suddenly got up and shouted, then looked at the prince, and asked, "Prince, did you participate in this matter?"
"The prince doesn't know! I won't let the prince know in advance."
Zhang Penghe immediately replied.
The prince also knelt down at this time: "Father, my son, please spare them the death penalty!"
Tian Qi said coldly: "How can this be forgiven? Gang Ji and the laws of the country are not a trifling matter. Chen Zizhuang is a cabinet minister, and he is also a hero who I plan to have a portrait hang in a place similar to Lingyuan Pavilion like Emperor Taizong of Tang. Now he is murdered. The one who killed him People must be strictly dealt with, otherwise it will damage the prestige of the emperor! Ministers cannot do things that damage the prestige of the monarch or the prince without authorization in the name of doing good to the monarch or the prince!"
"Do you dare to say that you are not selfish?!"
Tianqi suddenly questioned Zhang Penghe and other officials of the East Palace after speaking.
Zhang Penghe said: "Your Majesty has no selfish intentions! What you have done is indeed the behavior of a villain, but you do not regret it. Chen Zizhuang was murdered by you, and he deserved it! Your Majesty clearly learned that Chen Zizhuang's theory that the Mandate of Heaven does not exist is really great What a wicked talk to ruin the world! And because of this, he must shut up, Your Majesty!"
"How could you do that."
Tianqi said something, and said: "It's a pity, Chen Qing! He is also my mouthpiece. If you do this, you are simply ruining the government of the court!"
Seeing this, Zhang Gui stood up and said: "Your Majesty! The Chen Ge Department is actually still there. After he and Fang Yizhi agreed with the others, I asked his family to move to the outer city in advance."
Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui after hearing this: "What you said is true?"
Zhang Gui nodded: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can summon him now."
After hearing this, Tian Qi said: "Summon me immediately!"
"yes!"
Wei Zhongxian agreed accordingly.
Tian Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good! Who should be killed, and who should be killed, should only be decided by myself!"
Zhang Penghe was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, you!"
Zhang Gui didn't say anything, he won't tell Zhang Penghe, he has always maintained the most malicious and vigilant heart against opponents.
So, he has always been on guard against someone playing hooligans to achieve his own political goals.
"Your Majesty!"
An hour later, Chen Zizhuang came to Tianqi.
But Zhang Penghe was completely desperate when he saw that Chen Zizhuang was still alive, so he cried out: "The sky has no eyes!"
