Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

"Your Highness, have you seen the fire? I have done all this for your Highness, even if you have to be decapitated because of it, there is no regret!"

On the side of the street outside the gate of Chen Zizhuang's mansion, Dong Gong You Yude Zhang Penghe was watching the fire that had turned half of the sky red, and said to the prince next to him.

The prince also nodded at this time: "I see! But why did you say that you made it for me, sir? 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 scholar of the current dynasty! Moreover, you are the Minister of Policy Planning who is very favored by the Emperor Father and has joined the Policy 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 Chen Zizhuang to shut up, 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! To avoid breaking my Daming Ancestral Temple!"

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 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. Please come out now, just to let His Highness see 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, "Chuan Prince 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.

Tianqi asked the prince first: "Prince, where have you been?"

The 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?!"

Tian Qi immediately turned into a strict father and yelled at the prince.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui 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 have to ask me to agree first!"

As he said that, Tian Qi looked at Zhang Penghe and the officials of the Eastern Palace: "You guys are also very nice, you dared to take the prince out of the palace privately, and even knocked out the prince's companion Wang Chengen. It's because you have always known the rules best , let you be the officials of the East Palace, but now you are the unruly ones! Tell me, why are you doing this?"

At this time, Zhang Penghe bowed to the ground and confessed: "Your Majesty is guilty of the crime, and you have failed Your Majesty's expectations. But you did this for the sake of our Ming Dynasty's ancestral temple, so even if you have to die because of it, you 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?"

Tian Qi asked inexplicably.

At this moment, Zhang Penghe smiled: "Your Majesty must have known about Chen Ge's being burned to death by now."

Tian Qi'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 yelled, 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.

At this time, the prince also knelt down: "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!"

"How dare you say that you are not selfish?!"

As Tian Qi spoke, he suddenly questioned Zhang Penghe and other officials of the Eastern Palace.

Zhang Penghe said: "Your Majesty has no selfish intentions! What you have done is indeed the act of a villain, but you have no regrets. 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."

Tian Qi said a word, 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 shared the same opinion, I asked his family to move to the outer city in advance."

After hearing this, Tian Qi looked at Zhang Gui: "Is what you said true?"

Zhang Gui nodded: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can summon him now."

After hearing this, Tian Qi said, "I'll call you immediately!"

"yes!"

Wei Zhongxian therefore agreed.

But Tian Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's good! Who should be killed, who should be killed or not, it should only be up to me to make the decision!"

Zhang Penghe was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, you!"

Zhang Gui didn't say anything, he wouldn't tell Zhang Penghe that he had always been vigilant against opponents with the greatest malice.

Therefore, he has always been on guard against someone playing hooligans to achieve his political goals.

"His Majesty!"

An hour later, Chen Zizhuang came to Tianqi's place.

But Zhang Penghe was completely desperate when he saw that Chen Zizhuang was still alive, so he cried out: "The sky has no eyes!"
