Chapter 457: Chapter 366 The Misconduct of the Crown Prince (Climax asking for monthly votes and subscriptions)_1

At this time, it was all chaos inside the East Palace.

"It has already crashed into the courtyard wall, such a high speed——"

"Block it quickly! Are you all useless?"

"Not good, that evil beast is heading in the direction of Hanyuan Pavilion!"

"Quick, protect the Crown Prince!"

"No! This is not right! Can’t you see, it is the Jade Qilin! The mythical beast, Kylin."

At this time, the Crown Prince Yu Jianshen was watching a beam of red light bursting into his chamber, reducing his collection of stationery, bookshelves and books, as well as the plaque in Hanyuan Pavilion inscribed with ’the benevolent is invincible’, all to pieces.

Yu Jianshen’s hand was on his sword, but his arm was trembling. He was enraged, filled with resentment. He wanted to unsheathe his sword, but he couldn’t gather the courage to do so, gritting his teeth so hard that his lips bled a bit.

What grudge did he hold against this Jade Qilin? Why would this beast want to put him, Yu Jianshen, to death?

"No!"

Zuochun House’s great scholar Shang Hong had stretched out his hand, as firmly as a pair of iron tongs he held the prince’s arm: "This is a sacred beast of Confucianism, respected by all. You must not use weapons against it wantonly, unless you want to break away from Confucianism!"

However, his face was also pale, almost like a dead man: "Your Majesty is waiting for your mistake, you must not give others an opportunity."

At this point, the beam of red light had already spun away, continuing to wildly speed towards the inner areas of the East Palace.

Boom!

That was the sound of the East Palace’s sleeping chamber being completely shattered by the Jade Qilin. The guards all around were lost in panic.

"Sir!"

Yu Jianshen finally let go of his sword’s hilt, but he was still trembling, his lips pale with fright: "But the Jade Qilin hit the East Palace, the world will certainly believe that I, the lonely one, lost my virtue! His Majesty will certainly take action at this."

At this moment, Yu Jianshen’s emotions were extraordinarily complex.

It’s funny how he was previously lamenting Li Xuan’s misjudgment, but now, he, Yu Jianshen, was about to fall into a hopeless situation!

Shang Hong with a somber face said: "Crown Prince, do not worry, the Imperial Historian of the Inspectorate, Jishizhong of Six Departments, are all on your side. I will leave the palace to appease the ministers for you."

Later, perhaps you should submit a letter admitting your guilt, declaring your mistakes, and reviewing them. It would be best if you built a hut outside the Wu Gate, allowing the ministers to witness your humility and profound self-reflection."

At this point, he hesitated a bit, then went on to say: "If the situation really gets to the worst extent, losing your status as the heir apparent is still better than never being able to turn things around. To say something inappropriate, since the Emperor already has the thought of selecting another heir, it will happen sooner or later. Now, only your virtue and reputation can set the stage for your future."

Yu Jianshen’s mind was slightly at ease, his face grave as he slightly nodded.

But the sound coming from a distance made him change color once more, looking far off towards the north.

"Not good! That beast is going to Renshou Palace."

"Why didn’t anyone stop it?"

"That’s the Kylin, the mythical beast, who dares to take up arms against it?"

"The problem is that it can’t be stopped! It is too fast, that should be a technique of manipulating time."

At this time in the northern Renshou Palace, Empress Sun was livid, watching the beam of red light crashing in, unstoppable in its path, reducing all the buildings furnishing to rubble and debris.

She ground her teeth, her hands clenched into fists. All around her, blades of wind became visible, her eyes filled with a deep murderous intent.

"No, Your Majesty!"

That was a female official, desperately clinging to Empress Sun’s leg: "If there is any damage to this Kylin in our Renshou Palace, we won’t be able to explain it later on! Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot attack!"

Princess Changning, who had just returned to Renshou Palace, also looked as pale as ashes, her voice hoarse: "Your Majesty, please calm down. For the sake of the Young Emperor and the Crown Prince, please curb your anger!"

"Beast!"

Empress Sun eventually gave up on attacking. With a fierce wave of her sleeve, the immense power not only shattered the surrounding buildings into dust, but also smashed a huge crater into the ground.

"What holy beast of Confucianism? It’s just a damned beast! What gives it the right to accuse me of losing virtue? Does it want to drive my children and grandchildren to death? After today, I will kill this evil beast!"

Meanwhile, within the Centre Hall of Zijin Palace, Jingtai Emperor was putting on a set of purple and gold Mingguang Armor.

"There must be trouble at Dali Temple! Their target is Earl Jing’an. You go there personally now, hold my command, and transfer Earl Jing’an to the jail of Xiuyiwei. Be sure to do it quickly, as soon as possible!"

Jingtai Emperor’s eyes were dark and turbid, his shock and anger intertwined: "I really didn’t expect these scoundrels to have the audacity to go this far, completely disregarding the rules and regulations of the court!"

Zuo Daoxing immediately bowed his body, his eyes also revealed concern: "Your humble servant will rush over immediately! However, since the Empress Dowager has set up this situation, she must have a backup plan. Your Majesty, you consider the overall situation, but they may not."

"How can a backup plan affect them? How far are they intending to ignore the bigger picture? Are they planning to revolt?"

A layer of green appeared on Jingtai Emperor’s face: "Since they refuse to abide by the rules, then why should I abide by the rules with them! In any case, no matter what, we cannot let Earl Jingan be distressed."

He strode outwards, giving instructions to Zuo Daoxing: "Shaobao Yu is not in the Capital City, I need to defend Shanhai Pass. If there is an alarm in the Capital City, or if you encounter any accidents, you can ask for help from Chen Xun, that old man, he knows what to do at this time. If he continues to be vague, I will not hesitate to overturn this table!

Also, Hongshang is on her way to the Capital City and should arrive in half a day at most. With her here, the situation in the Capital City should not get out of hand."

However, Jingtai Emperor’s words were filled with uncontrollable irritability.

Jingtai Emperor thought, the invasion of Liaodong by the thirty thousand iron cavalry of the Mongol Tartar tribe at this time, led by Totaabuqa Khan, this could not be a coincidence.

His birth mother was truly hateful and annoying!

As for Totaabuqa, didn’t he know that once the Ming Dynasty fell into decline, the first one to suffer would be him, the Mongwu Khan?

Is the fool willing to continue being the puppet of the Waci Khan, also known as Yexian, the Mongwu Taishi?

At this moment, Jingtai Emperor’s face changed slightly as he heard the booming sound coming from the east of the city.

Jingtai Emperor couldn’t help but frown, wondering what has been going on lately? Why are there continuous incidents in the Forbidden City?

He looked into the distance and was taken aback, a surprised light flashing in his eyes. He even stopped at the gate, disregarding the military news from Shanhai Pass for the time being.

Shortly after, a few eunuchs with happy faces walked into the courtyard. The leader was Wang Chuanhua, the leader of the Duzhi Bureau.

"It’s not good, Your Majesty! A disaster has occurred."

He said ’disaster’, but his face was full of undisguised joy: "Just now, a mythical beast broke the palace wall and broke into the East Palace, shattering the Hanyuan Pavilion and everything in the Crown Prince’s bedroom! Your slave caught a glimpse of the beast from afar, and it appears to be the divine beast, the Jade Qilin, manifesting itself!"

"This is indeed a terrible disaster."

Jingtai Emperor has already seen the red light hitting into the Renshou Palace. The corner of his lips lifted slightly, and he only felt that the accumulated anger from the whole day was vented at this moment, as refreshing as eating a bowl of cold plum soup on a hot summer day.

"With so many things happening at the moment, the Crown Prince misbehaving, the Empress Dowager unkind, leading to the appearance of the holy beast as a warning, what should I do?"

"Spread my order, the Jade Kylin is a Confucian sacred beast, symbolizing Heavenly Dao. No one in or outside the Capital City should hurt it, otherwise they will be punished for evil conspiracy!"

Jingtai Emperor was originally worried that the holy Kylin would ram into the Centre Hall. But when he saw the red light make a turn and rushed out of the Forbidden City, he completely let go of his worries.

Now he turned his head and looked at Zuo Daoxing next to him: "Daoxing, do you know what to do?"

Zuo Daoxing’s expression became solemn: "I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!"

At this time, another eunuch hurriedly arrived from outside, who was also from the Duzhi Bureau. He hurried over and knelt down at the jade steps.

"Your Majesty, an employee-level official of the Ministry of Punishments is seeking an audience!"

This eunuch bowed his body to the ground and reported: "He says he was ordered by Shangshu Yu Shiyue of the Ministry of Punishments to come and inform that today a divine beast, the Jade Kylin, appeared outside the Inspectorate, stepped on the door and broke the houses, shattering the ’Unyielding rectitude’ and ’Upright mirror’ plaques of the Inspectorate. This employee-level official was present when Yu Shiyue was handling the case at the Inspectorate, he saw it with his own eyes."

Jingtai Emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, then he burst into helpless laughter: "It seems that the misbehavior is not limited to the East Palace."

He knew that a qualified emperor should not take pleasure in other’s misfortune, but he still could not suppress his feelings.

For the matter of changing the Crown Prince, he was already fed up with the Qingliu of the Inspectorate. Finally he managed to put Lin Youzhen, the deputy Zuodu Yushi, into the Inspectorate, but then he caused the trouble of the scripture house fire.

"Inform the Decree Room, to immediately draft a decree for the Inspectorate, asking them why the holy Kylin broke down the door today? They have to give me an explanation."

After delivering this sentence, Jingtai Emperor no longer hesitated, directly flew and stepped into the waiting ’Red Thunder Chariot’ outside the palace.

What this emperor didn’t know was that at this time, in the southwest corner of Beijing, Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue were being personally seen off by the owner of the official residence of the Ministry of Personnel’s Official of the Central Government, Wei Zhen.

After Peng Fulai went down the steps, he bowed deeply to Wei Zhen who was on the stage: "I will leave this matter to you, Uncle Wei!"

"Rest assured, Peng Xianzhi! Since such a scandal has occurred in the East Palace, who could possibly have the face to inherit the Jin Dynasty!"

The Official of the Central Government of the Ministry of Personnel, Wei Zhen, is in his thirties, handsome and literary. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold as he looked in the direction of the East Palace: "By tonight at the latest, there will be countless impeachment notes!

Please also pass on my message to Earl Jingan, whether they are Imperial Historians or Deputies, none of them should expect to remain comfortable with their positions!"

A trace of joy flashed across Peng Fulai’s face. He bowed deeply: "If Uncle Wei needs our services, or needs silver coins for any activity, just give the order!"
