Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 30: Beating up the ministers, Xu Kun asked for marriage!
More than thirty years later, the "Zuo Shunmen Incident" happened again.

Except for some officials kneeling in the middle, the officials kneeling around had been beaten to the ground. Some were groaning, and some had fainted.

In front of the gate of Yuxi Palace, Lu Fang was still sitting there quietly, even with his eyes closed, not watching the tragedy happening in front of the forbidden gate.

Lu Bing turned around and was about to walk into the hall. Lu Fang slowly looked at him and said, "Commander Lu, what are you going to do?"

"I want to report Chen Hong!" Lu Bing said without turning his head.

Lu Fang continued to ask: "Why do you want to accuse him?"

"The ministers were wrong, but Chen Hong beat them without asking for permission. This is an act of usurpation!" Lu Bing said as he walked.

"Was it wrong?" Lu Fang stood up slowly. "How could the ministers commit such a serious crime? It was nothing more than forcing the emperor to abdicate!"

Lu Bing was trembling with fear and stopped at the threshold of the hall, unable to move forward.

Force the emperor to abdicate?

With such a serious crime being charged against him, even if Chen Hong beat all the ministers to death in front of the Forbidden Gate, he could still use this reason to justify his protest.

The eunuch who holds the seal of Silijian, the ancestor of Jinyiwei for the past forty years, is too cruel in the way he protects his own people.

"I'm not protecting my own son. Chen Hong is the one who wants me to fall all the time so that he can take over the position of the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department."

After hearing Lu Fang's explanation, the two eunuchs on duty and two Jinyiwei immediately covered their ears. They didn't want to listen, nor did they dare to listen, but Lu Bing had to listen.

Lu Bing is also an old man who has accompanied the emperor for decades, but he usually does his job and never thinks about these things. Today, when he saw the scene in front of the forbidden gate and was guided by Lu Fang, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his forehead!
Lu Fang said to himself: "If the emperor had not intentionally protected Gao and Zhang, the two ministers would have died even if they had a hundred lives, based on the tens of thousands of impeachments submitted by tens of thousands of officials from the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Elder Yan, Elder Xu, and Elder Xiao, knowing that the emperor is in trouble, do not sympathize with his difficulties and release a group of vicious dogs to bark in Yuxi Palace. Are they attacking Elder Gao and Elder Zhang?

No! This is for the Emperor.

The Emperor appointed Chen Hong as the governor of the Eastern Depot, and I appointed Chen Hong to guard the Forbidden Gate, simply because I took a fancy to Chen Hong's ruthlessness.

If even Chen Hong is gone, there will be no one to guard the Yuxi Palace, and the emperor will not be able to practice in peace, and our Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil."

Lu Bing looked at Lu Fang blankly, and recalled the fear of the past. His throat rolled and he said dryly: "I, I don't understand..."

"It's better not to understand. Sometimes, the value of a person lies in his ignorance. The emperor won't let you do something like punishing his ministers, nor does he want you to do it. Just watch Chen Hong do it."

Lu Fang looked at Lu Bing, his eyes flashing with envy, and then said: "What Commander Lu and the Jinyiwei need to do is to complete the will of His Majesty and not to cause trouble for themselves."

As the emperor's brother from the same mother and having saved the emperor's life, Lu Bing is truly the luckiest person in the world.

Lu Bing seemed to understand what he said, but he replied reluctantly, "Thank you, Eunuch Lu, for your advice."

"I heard that Lord Xu and Little Lord want to become relatives with Commander Lu?" Lu Fang suddenly said this.

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

You have already given me so many suggestions, so I don't mind if you give me a few more words on my private matters, just to make good connections.

Lu Bing's heart tightened, and he did not ask Lu Fang how she knew like a fool, but said, "Xu Kun, the second son of Lord Xu, wants to marry my third daughter.

Yan Shaoting, the second son of the young cabinet minister, wants to marry my second daughter." "A long time ago, I heard that the daughters of Lu Du Commander were all extremely beautiful, and the iron and wooden thresholds were broken by those who came to propose marriage.

Now even Lord Xu and Lord Xiao were alarmed. It seemed that the girl of Lu family was indeed extraordinary.

Fortunately, the eldest son of Lord Xu and the eldest son of Lord Xiao got married early, otherwise, I think both Lords would be willing to let the daughter of the Lu family be their eldest wife.

I remember that the eldest daughter of Commander Lu was married to Zhu Shitai, the eldest son of Duke Chengguo, right?
"It is a blessing, a blessing!" Lü Fang complimented Lu Bing with a smile.

A compliment.

It was like a sharp knife cutting into Lu Bing's heart. After Lu Fang finished speaking, Lu Bing could hardly stand. Cold sweat poured down his whole body, and he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

They didn't ask for marriage earlier or later, but after the Jinyiwei obtained the power to inspect and evaluate the performance appraisal law, both the Yan family and the Xu family came to propose marriage.

How can you ask for a kiss?
This is clearly asking for the lives of the Lu family.

If he really agreed to the marriage proposals of the Yan and Xu families and married their daughter off, Lu Bing's downfall would probably happen overnight.

Although they were brothers from the same mother and although they had saved the emperor's life, Lu Bing knew this brother of the emperor.

In the face of imperial power, the milk that was drunk and the life-saving grace are not worth mentioning.

"I will go back and politely decline the marriage proposals from Lord Xu and Lord Xiao, and as for my eldest daughter, I will persuade her to divorce." Lu Bing expressed his loyalty.

Even though he was facing Lu Fang, his intuition as a martial artist told him that the emperor was also listening to this answer!

Not only did she reject the marriage proposals from the Yan and Xu families, she even divorced her eldest daughter who had already been married to Duke Cheng.

With the current power of the Jinyiwei, if we apologize, I believe the Chengguo Mansion will agree.

"As the saying goes, 'It is better to tear down ten temples than to ruin a marriage.' After the wedding of Young Duke Zhu Shitai and Ling's daughter, they lived in harmony and the whole capital knew about it. What was Commander Lu talking about? How could they get divorced so easily? Isn't this a sin?" Lu Fang shook his head.

Even if he tried to counterattack, it wouldn't be the case that he targeted the eldest daughter of the Lu family who had already married. Lu Bing was a little frightened.

"Eunuch Lu is right! Eunuch Lu is right!" Lu Bing looked at Lu Fang with gratitude in his eyes.

Lu Bing realized his mistake and hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Fang and left Yuxi Palace from another direction.

At the same time, he asked two Jinyiwei to go to the forbidden gate and bring away Luo Longwen, who was unconscious on the ground with blood all over his face.

This was an official chosen by the emperor to be sentenced to death by slow slicing for the crime of "plotting high treason". This saved the Emperor the trouble of the Imperial Guards coming to his house with a warrant to arrest him.

Lu Fang turned around and walked into the hall. Although he could no longer see the forbidden door, he could still hear crying from there.

Zhu Houcong changed into the black robe with dragon pattern lace. His hair was still tied with a black silk ribbon. He sat cross-legged on the cushion, reading a memorial in his hand.

A huge vanilla crown was quietly placed on the tea table to his left, and the copper chime was placed on the rosewood stand to his right.

Zhu Houcong finished reading the memorial in his hand and threw it into the basket of memorials to the right of the low table. "Since you want to see me, why don't you come in person?

The mountain doesn't see me, so I will go see the mountain myself. Lu Fang, go and invite the elders to come on my behalf."
