It's night, the crescent moon is like a hook, summer insects are chirping, and a few stars are shining in the cold moon.
In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother Sun had disheveled hair, covered her face and was crying. She had a bad temper, and could even be said to have lost her temper. She had many maids and eunuchs who had not made any mistakes executed with sticks and executions!
Everyone in the harem was in danger and trembling. Only the eunuch Wang Zhen's gang members, such as Cao Jixiang, who were always with the Queen Mother, did not dare to make any move.
"My son Qi Zhen!"
Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were swollen from crying. She stayed in Cining Palace, weeping like rain.
Queen Mother Sun naturally has special intelligence channels.
Therefore, when the army passed through Xuanfu, a die-hard loyalist secretly recorded the information. It was not until 10 o'clock today that the information was passed to the Queen Mother Sun.
When she saw the intelligence for the first time, the Queen Mother Sun fainted on the spot. Fortunately, the eunuch Jin Ying stabilized the situation in time and quietly called the imperial doctor. Within half an hour, the Queen Mother Sun was rescued.
Later, Jin Ying went to find Cao Jixiang, and Cao Jixiang sent someone to invite the commander of the Jinyiwei, Ma Shun, who was also a member of Wang Zhen's party!
Ma Shun was the only commander of the Imperial Guard in history who was beaten to death by civil servants in the main hall. It can be said that the commander of the Imperial Guard was completely humiliated.
Immediately afterwards, two eunuchs, Mao Gui and Wang Chang, who were both under Wang Zhen's command, were also promoted urgently and were responsible for guarding the palace gates and cutting off the inner palace from the outer palace.
After Empress Dowager Sun woke up, she cried and got angry for a while before slowly accepting the reality.
Now she has extremely hatred for those Ming emperors who gave her son death!
Therefore, without any hesitation, she immediately wrote an imperial edict and sent it to Zhu Qiyu, who was supervising the country. She hoped that Zhu Qiyu could work with her to summon troops from various places to prepare for the Japanese and fight against those damn Ming emperors!
And Wang Zhen's party members also began to take action, coinciding with the Queen Mother Sun.
After all, they were all involved in Wang Zhen's scandalous affairs. They were born to be part of Wang Zhen's party. Now that Wang Zhen was beheaded in public, they were naturally a thorn in the flesh and eyes of the Ming emperors opposite them. Of course, they had to find a way to protect themselves. own power.
"Are my elder brothers and younger brothers here?"
Queen Mother Sun summoned Jin Ying and asked nervously.
Jin Ying said very respectfully: "Queen Mother Qi, your closest relatives have gone to guard Donghua Gate."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun felt a little relieved, and then she said angrily: "Aren't Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian, Chen Xun, Wang Zhi and other ministers unwilling to summon armies from all over the country?!"
"Queen Mother, based on the results of today's court discussion, it is like this."
Jin Ying then said: "However, the Ministry of War wrote a note under Yu Qian's instruction. I don't know where the troops were mobilized, but you fainted at that time, so without your order, the slaves did not dare to make any move, so they also I don’t know where the troops were mobilized.”
Hearing what Jin Ying said, Queen Mother Sun couldn't help but be startled, and then she said sadly: "Yu Qian is indeed a loyal minister. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty betrayed the children of this palace. Only Yu Qian secretly mobilized his troops! After the victory, , I will reward him heavily and grant him the position of Duke!"
The commander of the Jin Yiwei on the side made Ma Shun a little worried. He hesitated again and again, and finally said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, I think something is wrong. When your Majesty went to the expedition, he led the three battalions with a total of 200,000 elites. "
"And now when we return, we have reported that there are at least more than 300,000 elites in the army... Weichen feels that this matter is probably true. Queen Mother, I will wait..."
"Shut up!"
Empress Dowager Sun scolded Ma Shun angrily and threw down the precious vase in her hand. The porcelain shard scratched Ma Shun's cheek, and instantly blood spilled out. Ma Shun was sweating profusely and could only plead guilty.
Empress Dowager Sun was so angry that her chest was heaving and she was furious. Before she could say anything, Cao Jixiang on the side said: "Empress Dowager, don't let your body get so angry. At this moment, we should decide what we are going to do."
"Immediately write a letter of edict in the name of this palace, announcing that King Zhu Qiyu of the Supervisory State will come to the palace to see me. I have entrusted you with important military and state affairs."
Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were cold, and then she said: "Order the imperial eunuchs to hold swords and axes on the left and right. If Zhu Qiyu refuses, I will give the order and you will rush out from the left and right and chop Zhu Qiyu to death with random swords!"
"At the same time, summon Yu Qian, Shi Heng and others into the palace to see me, and order them to immediately command the camps, clean up old immortals like Chen Xun and Wang Zhi, recruit soldiers from Shandong and Nanjing, and fight to the death with the rebellious people!"
Because of Yu Qian's sudden order to mobilize troops, Queen Mother Sun suddenly misjudged and felt that Yu Qian should be on her side.
All we can say is that Queen Mother Sun may have lost her head.
Yu Qian had a grudge against Wang Zhen, and he had a big grudge.
When Yu Qian went to Beijing to meet Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen, he was falsely accused and imprisoned because he did not give gifts to Wang Zhen. He stayed in the imperial edict for three months before he was pardoned and demoted to the post of Dali Temple with the petition of the people, officials and even the vassal king. Shaoqing later became governor again.
During his tenure as governor, Yu Qian was deeply loved by the people and solved many livelihood problems of refugees caused by natural disasters.
It was not until the year before the Tumu Fort incident that Yu Qian returned to the capital and served as the left minister of the Ministry of War.
With such a resume, it is difficult to imagine that he can have any relationship with Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen.
But after all, in the face of power, no one knows what actions anyone will make.
For example, Shi Heng was Yu Qian's confidant in history. It can be said that he was promoted by Yu Qian. Without Yu Qian, Shi Heng was just a defeated general.
And Zhu Qiyu also treated Shi Heng well and promoted him all the way.
But for the sake of power and to consolidate his position, he resolutely launched a coup to seize the throne and let the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen regain the throne...
It can be seen from this that in the face of power, the human heart is an illusory thing.
At this moment, the eunuch Wang Chang walked quickly, came to the front of the Queen Mother Sun, and reported to the Queen Mother Sun: "To the Queen Mother, Yu Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and His Royal Highness King Tan of the Supervisor of the State were ordered outside the Donghua Gate. I request to come in to see the Queen Mother, saying that I have something important to discuss with you...Uncle Sun Jizong sent a slave to ask you if you would like to let Yu Qian in."
Empress Dowager Sun was overjoyed when she heard this, and then said: "This Yu Qian is indeed a loyal minister! He brought Zhu Qiyu here at such a night. It is obvious that he wants to conspire with me. Open the door quickly and let Yu Qian in!"
After hearing what Empress Dowager Sun said, Ma Shun on the side immediately said: "Empress Dowager, don't open the door! Yu Qian's heart is not clear yet. What should I do if there is any difference?"
Hearing Ma Shun's words, Queen Mother Sun's intelligence suddenly returned to her original glory. She nodded and said, "What Ma Aiqing said is absolutely true! Only Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu were asked to come in, and the rest were outside the Donghua Gate. Wait, you are not allowed to enter the palace!"
After Wang Chang heard this, he immediately accepted the order. When he was about to leave, he heard a loud noise outside.
Queen Mother Sun frowned, became furious, and shouted: "What's going on outside?!"
Cao Jixiang immediately leaned over and said, "I'll go take a look," and then quickly walked out the door. Within a moment, he was knocked to the ground by a general covered in blood and wearing iron armor, who let out an "ouch".
When she saw a general breaking into Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Sun was furious. Just when she was about to order everyone to take him down, she saw the general with a sad face and said, "Sister, the Donghua Gate is broken! Yu Qian is like a god with his troops. I'm still here." No matter what happened, the city gate opened."
"Zhu Qiyu took the lead and shouted, 'I am the King of the Supervisory State'. The soldiers did not dare to take action, and the Donghua Gate was breached just like that!"
After quickly explaining the situation, the general continued: "Xianzong has been beaten to death on the spot. I escaped quickly and escaped with my life. Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian are seizing the door and launching a palace coup!"
The change of seizing the door!
Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian dared to seize the door!
Empress Dowager Sun was like the flaming man in the forest. Anger kept burning out from her heart. She was extremely angry again and shouted angrily: "Zhu Qiyu, the son of a bitch! Send someone to me as soon as possible. Kill that bitch Wu!"
After Empress Dowager Sun scolded angrily, she also had a vague feeling of something wrong.
She never expected that Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian would seize the door. In her impression, seizing the door should be initiated by her and her party members. How come Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu got there first?
But it is useless to think about anything now. After all, the palace is already in chaos. Although the Queen Mother Sun is furious, no one listens to the Queen Mother Sun at all.
The palace where Concubine Wu Xian is located is far away from here. If they kill Concubine Wu Xian, it means that they have given up resistance. Therefore, neither Jin Ying nor Ma Shun, Cao Jixiang and others will do this, but plan to fight to the death. .
Seeing that the eunuchs around her were unmoved, Queen Mother Sun even scolded: "Don't you think you can resist the decree? Why don't you go? Why don't you kill that bitch Wu!"
Just as Empress Dowager Sun was scolding, a large number of footsteps could be heard outside Cining Palace.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the armored soldiers who were left behind in the capital had already followed the steps of Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu and entered the gate of Cining Palace.
Yu Qian was serious about it. He bowed in front of the Cining Palace and said, "My lord, Yu Qian, I would like to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. How can I bow to the Queen Mother?"
Empress Dowager Sun shouted: "I am uneasy! Yu Qian! What do you want to do when you bring troops to Cining Palace? Do you want to cause trouble and rebel?!"
"I don't dare. I was shocked to hear that the Queen Mother was held hostage by a rebel minister and wanted to commit treason and immorality, so I just came with troops." Yu Qian said respectfully again.
Empress Dowager Sun scolded again: "I am not being held hostage, you can retreat!"
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu, who had already come this far, did not care. He immediately pulled out his sword from his waist, pointed it at the Queen Mother, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the three camps, this king is Zhu Qiyu, the king of the country. , the Queen Mother is now being held hostage by the gangsters of the traitor Wang Zhen, Ma Shun, Cao Jixiang, Wang Chang and others. They are inside and will follow the king to rush into the palace and rescue the Queen Mother. Everyone will be rewarded by then!"
Hearing these words, Cao Jixiang became anxious. He didn't want to die, so he glanced at the Queen Mother Sun. He was so jealous that he took out a dagger and stepped forward quickly, wanting to kidnap the Queen Mother Sun. While shouting: "Don't come over, otherwise our family will give Queen Mother Sun to you immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Ying on the side turned pale with shock. He quickly blocked Cao Jixiang's mouth and angrily yelled: "You eggless bastard, are you crazy?! They have already changed their minds. They will care." The life and death of the Queen Mother?! If you do this, you will only confirm their excuse!"
"Besides, even if Queen Mother Sun dies, they can still blame us!"
Yes, the Queen Mother is dead. It was these traitors who brutally murdered the Queen Mother.
After all, Wang Zhen's name was known to everyone in the court.
And they happened to be Wang Zhen's party members.
Now it's OK, the traitorous gangsters kidnapped the Queen Mother. The loyal minister Yu Qian and the loyal king Zhu Qiyu led their troops to kill the traitor.
The perfect script is also a good story in history.
And just in time, when the idiot Cao Jixiang shouted this, the soldiers who had no idea what he was talking about instantly believed it and rushed forward!
"kill!"
The soldiers shouted, and Yu Qian sighed when he saw this, and had to order: "Don't hurt the Queen Mother, these treacherous traitors, try to catch them alive as much as possible!"
Under Yu Qian's orders, the coup launched by Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian completely declared victory.
Compared with the real Nangong restoration and seizing the gate in history, it is very similar.
The same Donghuamen entered the palace and fought in front of the real master.
It's also like Dove, enjoying silky smoothness all the way.
The only difference is that the people involved on both sides have changed.
"..."
The next day, the sky was already slightly bright, and the bells and drums were ringing.
The Empress Dowager Sun, with a livid look on her face, was controlled by the palace maids in Cining Palace and put under disguised house arrest.
Except for the seven or eight adopted sons of Sun Shaozong, Sun Xianzong, Mao Gui and Wang Zhen who were among the participants, they were killed during the attack on Donghua Gate. The rest of the thieves, such as Jin Ying, Ma Shun and Cao Jixiang, were all captured.
According to the imperial edict issued by Empress Dowager Sun, ministers such as Xu Jue, Jiang Xing, and Wei Yuanshan who advocated moving south seemed to have conspired with Empress Dowager Sun and were also arrested together. However, the general Shi Heng gave Yu Qian a headache. He had to be relieved of all his duties.
After a night of fighting for the door, Zhu Qiyu grew up a lot, but Tai Qian was worried and seemed to be sighing.
After seizing the gate, Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian and other ministers made preparations together, and finally welcomed the arrival of the Ming emperors twelve days later.
After the 300,000-strong army arrived outside the city of Beijing, they began to station themselves in place, while the 10,000 elites among the 300,000-strong army opened the way and entered the city first!
"Little King Zhu Qiyu, pays homage to the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty!"
In front of the capital city gate, Zhu Qiyu had been waiting here for a long time. After seeing Long Chu from a distance, he immediately bowed down to greet him.
"No need to be polite."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily and said to Zhu Qiyu: "You are also our descendant. When did our old Zhu family become so cautious? Fourth child, do you have any clues?"
"My son, I don't know."
Zhu Di smiled on the side, and after seeing Zhu Di, Yu Qian immediately saluted: "Meet Emperor Taizong."
When he met Yu Qian this time, Zhu Di didn't feel much at all. After all, he met him once in Jingtai, so he just said "well done" in an encouraging way.
"This is Zhu Biao, Emperor Taiping of the Ming Dynasty. You should also know that the unworthy descendant of Zhu Qizhen has been deposed from the throne by me. After his death, he found a place to bury him. Emperor Taizu personally sealed him as my My elder brother is the emperor of this dynasty."
Zhu Di rode up his horse and whipped his whip, introduced Zhu Biao to the minister of civil and military affairs who greeted them, and then said: "You haven't paid homage to Emperor Taiping yet?"
The civil and military officials did not have much emotional ups and downs. After all, they had received the news a long time ago. After hearing Zhu Di's voice, they all bowed to Zhu Biao and said: "Greetings to your majesty. I respectfully wish to greet you." "
"I am safe."
Zhu Biao nodded calmly, looked at the civil and military officials in the court, and couldn't help but smile.
How could he not know what these officials were thinking?
It's a pity that Zhu Biao is not Zhu Qizhen. He is the prince who was taught by the great emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Following the same lineage, his methods of dealing with officials are naturally not gentle.
After he officially ascended the throne, Zhu Biao would let them, the civil and military officials, see what the real emperor was.
Zhu Houcong, on the other hand, has been watching the show from the sidelines.
He was a little curious, why didn't Queen Mother Sun come out to dance this time?
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he felt a little disappointed, but he was not too sad. Instead, he cupped his hands to Zhu Biao and said:
"Your Majesty, some young people kidnapped the Queen Mother and tried to correct the Queen Mother's decree. They wanted to cause rebellion by the soldiers of Beiwa and Guards in Shandong, Nanjing, Liaodong and other places. They were captured by me and Yu Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of War. All the chief conspirators are imprisoned in the imperial edict, and the Queen Mother has returned to Cining Palace to take charge. How to deal with it depends on your Majesty's instructions."
Zhu Qiyu's meaning was self-evident when he deliberately brought up the point of "the Queen Mother returning to Cining Palace". Yu Qian also heard the implication of Zhu Qiyu's words, but he just frowned and said nothing.
"Queen Mother, which Queen Mother?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face was a little unhappy, and he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it that Sun family again?"
During the Jingtai Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had a very bad impression of Sun.
The grandson Zhu Zhanji, who was mixed in the team, couldn't help but look at the sky at a 45-degree angle and showed a wry smile.
Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, who was next to his grandson Zhu Zhanji, showed a gloating smile: "Niece thief, your second uncle won't play with you tonight. You can go find the old man to play by yourself."
"Yeah, yeah."
Zhu Zhanji nodded perfunctorily and sighed.
After hearing this sentence, Zhu Qiyu immediately replied honestly: "The Queen Mother of the current dynasty was indeed the Queen Mother Sun. The masterminds involved in this incident were eunuchs Jin Ying, Cao Jixiang, Wang Chang, etc., the commander of the Jinyi Guards Ma Shun, and the Yu Shi Jiang. OK, Hanlin editors Xu Jue and Wei Yuanshan..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said countless names in one breath, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao did not hesitate at all, and said directly with murderous intent: "All the people, they will be cut in half in the market!"
The people on the list are all members of Wang Zhen's party and have been living with the common people for many years.
Naturally, he should be killed!
However, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who knelt to welcome him into the city, there were of course many people who were more corrupt and greedy than them, but Zhu Biao could always find them out bit by bit.
After giving the instructions, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di coughed slightly and shouted: "Zhan Ji, how do you think this Sun family should be dealt with?"
Zhu Zhanji, who was suddenly called on, was like a student who was called on in class. With a bitter look on his face, he rode out and appeared directly in front of everyone. Under the gaze of all eyes, Zhu Zhanji could only bite the bullet and said: "This woman has a vicious heart and has repeatedly attempted to destroy our country, the Ming Dynasty. I report this to the Emperor, Grandpa Tai, and Your Majesties. My grandson believes that if this woman is not killed, the people will not be outraged!"
"However, considering that she has been the mother of the country for several years, she still needs to be dignified. My grandson suggested that we give him a glass of wine. Of course, I will leave it up to the Emperor, Grandfather and His Majesty to decide everything."
