Zhu Huai felt much better with money, but he remembered the incident at night. It seemed that the prince would definitely sue him in front of his father. It was certain that he was punished. If he delayed his plan to fight for the throne, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Grandpa, but what should I do about this tonight? Zhu Hai will definitely spread rumors in front of his father!"

Tong Yangjia thought for a while and said, "The first step is to recover all the sold test questions, double their money, and make those students keep their mouths tight!"

"This is easy to deal with, but what should Zhu Hai do?"

"Leave the prince's affairs to me. After you go back, your subordinates will spread rumors in the city, saying that Ma Mingyuan was dismissed and wanted to support the prince's Xinglingwu story!"

Zhu Huai's knowledge is not bad either. When he heard Tong Yangjia say this, he said happily: "This is a great plan! Does my grandfather want to beat Ma Mingyuan, that old man, together?"

Tong Yangjia sighed and said, "Hey! That's so easy. I guess the prince will just ban it, and Ma Mingyuan will be fine. But King Chu, you must be mentally prepared. I guess Your Majesty will punish you!"

Zhu Huai couldn't escape even when he heard that he was frowning.

When Tong Yangjia saw Zhu Huai's appearance, he was not only angry, but cursed: "King of Chu, how do I teach you normally? If you want to be the prince, don't use these conspiracies and tricks, you must use the right way! Only a dignified and righteous way can suppress others with power. Have you forgotten?"

When Zhu Huai heard Tong Yangjia's reprimand, he dared not refute, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake. Seeing that Zhu Huai was like this, Tong Yangjia had no choice but to tell Zhu Huai to return home.

The next day, Tong Yangjia called his disciple, the Censor Meng Zhangming, and asked him to use his supervisory power to report rumors in the capital to the emperor, and then sat down to wait for the emperor's imperial edict.

The emperor's imperial edict came very quickly. On March 24, he rushed to Nanjing in a hurry. However, this imperial edict did not go to the cabinet according to the rules, but went directly to the military camp of the First Division outside the city.

Half an hour after the imperial edict entered the military camp, the First Division, stationed in the large school outside Nanjing, immediately came out in full swing and occupied various gates in the capital in less than half an hour.

The First Division outside the city entered the city, which immediately scared Li Dou, the officials of all sizes in the city. They didn't know what was going on, but they thought that it was these Qiu Ba who rebelled.

After learning that he had occupied the city gate, Qian Yong led a regiment of soldiers into the city from the south gate and came to the front of the imperial city Hongwu Gate.

Hongwu Gate is the first gate of the imperial city, and there are a thousand Jinyiwei guards here. When the Jinyiwei Qianhu who guarded the city saw the first division outside the city enter the city, they immediately closed the Hongwu Gate as if facing a great enemy and were ready for battle.

Qian Yong rode his horse to Hongwu Gate and shouted loudly: "Who is the Qianhu who is on duty?"

The Qianhu shouted on the city: "Admiral Qian! Do you want to rebel without His Majesty's imperial edict? "

Qian Yong sneered and shouted, "Open your eyes and see, what is it at this time?" After Qian Yong said that, he took out a bright yellow scroll.

The thousand households used small baskets to hang the imperial edict onto the city wall. When they opened it, they saw that it was written by His Majesty. They ordered the capital admiral Qian Yong to take over the imperial guards in the palace, and the first division replaced the imperial guards in the palace to guard the palace.

Seeing the imperial edict, the Qianhu did not dare to hesitate and immediately opened the city gate and let Qian Yong enter the city.

After Qian Yong entered the Hongwu Gate, he looked at the Qianhu who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Take your people with me!" After that, a regiment of soldiers brought by Qian Yong took over the defense of Hongwu Gate.

Qian Yong brought these Jinyiwei to the Nanjing Governor's Governor's Palace in the Imperial City. When the Jinyiwei standing guard at the door saw Qian Yong's hand in hand, they all quickly knelt down on their knees to welcome the imperial edict.

At this time, Zhu Hongyi, who was in the garrison palace, had already received the news and hurried out to greet him.

After seeing the imperial edict, Zhu Hongyi knelt down on his knees and said, "My minister! Zhu Hongyi, the garrison in the capital, welcomed the imperial edict!"

Qian Yong opened the imperial edict and said, "Subsist the will of heaven! The emperor said! Zhu Hongyi, the prince of Wuchang, was ill, and ordered him to go home to rest! All the imperial guards in the palace, the three princes guards were handed over to the capital's admiral Qian Yong to dispatch this!"

In ancient times, the imperial power was as great as the sky. Zhu Hong's imperial edict three thousand miles away completely wiped out Zhu Hongyi's errands. After hearing the imperial edict, Zhu Hongyi kowtowed and said, "My minister Zhu Hongyi took the edict!"

Although Qian Yong was a disciple of the emperor, the actual instructor of the teaching group was Zhu Hongyi. Now, I feel very unbearable when I see Zhu Hongyi being deposed.

Qian Yong put away the imperial edict and stepped forward to support Zhu Hongyi: "Instructor, get up quickly! This is also what His Majesty takes care of the instructor. Qian Yong believes that the instructor will definitely come back after he has maintained his health!"

Zhu Hongyi shook his head and said nothing. A few years ago, his two sons turned to the prince, and he foresaw the results today. Zhu Hongyi thought that he and Zhu Hongsan grew up together since childhood. When they were young, they were naughty and mischievous together. When they grew up, they conquered the Wuchang underworld together. After they became an army, they charged together. Now they have become like this. Alas! All this is not as good as the word "suspect".

Zhu Hongyi stood up and prepared to go out to go home. Qian Yong felt uncomfortable when he saw Zhu Hongyi's desolate figure. Qian Yong stepped forward and asked, "Instructor, why don't I have someone to send you home?"

Zhu Hongyi shook his head and said, "No, now I am an ominous person. Don't involve you, just go back by myself!"

Seeing Zhu Hongyi going out alone, Qian Yong sighed in his heart. However, he still had something to do and had to go to the East Palace to announce the imperial edict.

Zhu Hai has been living every day for more than ten days. Today, when he heard the First Division enter the city, he knew that his father's imperial edict had arrived.

Qian Yong brought people to the East Palace and immediately took back the command of the three guards of the East Palace with the imperial edict, and appointed the deputy commander of the First Division as the imperial city guard. The original three guards of the East Palace were incorporated into the imperial guards of the palace and were under the command of the deputy commander.

Zhu Hai knelt in front of Qian Yong and listened to his father's reprimanding his imperial edict. Zhu Hongsan scolded Zhu Hai, and finally took Zhu Hai's job as a supervisor, and asked him to study in the East Palace. Without Qian Yong's order, he was not allowed to go out and see anyone!

Zhu Hai knew that he would definitely be severely punished this time, but he didn't expect that his father's punishment was so serious. This was about to destroy his position as a crown prince, but Zhu Hai had no choice. He was the crown prince. As long as the emperor did not die for a day, he would be the crown prince for the rest of his life. His life was in the emperor's thoughts, let alone freedom.

The incident of the prince being punished quickly spread throughout the capital, and some people were happy and some were sad. The chief minister of the cabinet, Ma Jiyuan, was angry. As a guardian, Ma Jiyuan was a hard-core prince. Now that the prince was framed by Tong Yangjia, he almost lost his position as the prince. Ma Jiyuan naturally wanted to stand up for the prince.

After hearing the news about the prince, Ma Jiyuan was about to take action against Tong Yangjia, regardless of whether it was public or private, Tong Yangjia had to pay the price.

Ma Jiyuan found his confidant Fang Fengnian and asked, "Shutian, what do you think about the prince being punished this time?"

Fang Fengnian is now the Minister of Rites. He looked at Ma Jiyuan and asked, "Yuanfu, this is obviously Tong Yangjia's method. In order to divert Your Majesty's attention, he deliberately spread rumors about Lingwu stories in the capital!"

"Hmph! The old man Tong killed my second son back then, and the account has not been settled with him. Now he wants to shake the position of prince. I am going to impeach Tong Yangjia. What do you think Shutian?"

"Yuan Fu, as the head of the cabinet, you don't have to take action personally, just leave it to me!" Fang Fengnian was the censor at that time. Of course, he was an expert in using text materials.

Ma Jiyuan nodded when he heard Fang Fengnian's words, and then said, "Don't impeach Tong Yangjia directly. The front-line war is urgent now. Tong Yangjia is in charge of the logistics of the Ministry of War. I guess His Majesty will not touch him and turn the target to Tong Yangjia's gangsters!"

"Yuan Fu, who are you talking about?" Tong Yangjia had only a few gang members, but they were all senior officials, each holding the power. It would be enough for Tong Yangjia to feel sorry for him after going there.

Ma Jiyuan took out a military newspaper and handed it to Fang Fengnian: "Shutian, look at this. Just a few days ago, the Governor of Huguang Liu Silai sent an urgent report. The Qing Dynasty had already taken action and sank twelve naval gunships in Yueyang. This was the biggest defeat of our army since the founding of the army. Liu Silai had no naval support and had to give up Wuchang and retreat to Jiujiang. Look at how it would be to put the responsibility for losing His Majesty's Longxing Land on Tong Tuchang?"

When Fang Fengnian heard that his pores were full of air conditioning, he didn't expect that Ma Jiyuan usually looked like a Taoist master and was so cruel to play tricks. The tombs of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were both in Wuchang, and it was a serious crime to behead him. This was enough for Tong Tuchang to suffer.

"I wonder what crime did Yuanfu impeach Tong Tuchang?"

"The peace talks on the north are not good, and they were deceived by the Qing Dynasty, resulting in the loss of His Majesty's Longxing Land, and the Huangkao Mausoleum was placed in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. What about these?"

Fang Fengnian now knows why Ma Jiyuan came to him. He was the deputy envoy of peace talks back then, and it was appropriate for him to impeach Tong Tuchang.

Fang Fengnian thought about it, but Tong Tuchang was not in harmony with him anyway and had a fight back then, so it would be better to take this opportunity to kill him.

"Don't worry, Lord Yuan Fu, the official knows what to do!"

Fang Fengnian is worthy of being an old messenger. The ability to take advantage of the troubled waters is the best. Fang Fengnian first met with a few censors from the Censorate and a little revealed to them about the peace talks in the north. He also said that the loss of Wuchang is simply Tong Tuchang's responsibility. It was his cheating in the peace talks that made our army relax and gave the Qing army the other side a chance.

Those censors had the right to hear the news, and Fang Fengnian chose people who hated Tong Yangjia, so they immediately patted their chests and promised to write a letter to impeach Tong Tuchang.

With these censors fanning the flames, and with the chief assistant Ma Jiyuan going with the flow, the entire Beijing officialdom knew that the loss of Wuchang was Tong Tuchang's responsibility. For a time, more than 20 officials wrote letters to the emperor to kill Tong Tuchang to avenge the naval officers and soldiers who died on the Yangtze River.
