In the eighth year of Jingtai, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
There was light snow falling in the sky, the Forbidden City was covered in silver, and the palace gates were extremely solemn inside and outside.
The emperor recovered from his serious illness yesterday and spent a long time working on his memorials. He seemed to be in good spirits.
But he didn't want to announce that the imperial doctor had entered the palace overnight. The gate of Qianqing Palace was closed this morning. It was said that his physical condition was worrying.
Inside and outside the palace, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
At this time, Zhu Qiyu was lying on the dragon bed, as if he was about to die.
The eunuch Wang Cheng personally served and gave medicine, with tears in his eyes.
I was secretly annoyed: The emperor's health had just started to improve yesterday, and the imperial physician Ai Gao Gao offered another silver pill. The emperor and Concubine Li were having fun at night, but suddenly they stopped...
Your Majesty, you can't stop caring for your body just to keep your heir alive!
"who I am?"
"Where is this?"
"What am I doing?"
He opened his eyes as wide as he could.
The most striking thing is the yellow curtain.
An old man knelt on the ground crying and feeding himself some soup.
I don't need any medicine if I'm not sick!
"roll!"
A low, hoarse voice came from his mouth.
He startled himself. The voice didn't seem to be his own?
what happened?
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Wang Cheng was elated.
Your Majesty? calls me?
Don't play with me, I'm just a senior history buff and a veteran troll in the historical area, and I'm quarreling with netizens. How come I've traveled through time?
It seems like it’s still Zhu Qiyu?
That unlucky Emperor Jingtai who lost his throne, was strangled to death by an eunuch, and was nicknamed the King of Violence?
Zhu Qiyu still felt it was a prank.
But the memories came flooding back.
That is the memory that belongs to Zhu Qiyu.
Everything is so familiar.
It was as if he had experienced it himself.
Wang Cheng stared at Zhu Qiyu nervously, not daring to move for fear of disturbing the emperor.
"Wang Cheng?"
After a long time, Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and glanced at the eunuch kneeling on the ground.
"It's a slave, it's a slave. God bless you. You are finally fine. Congratulations." Wang Cheng cried with joy.
He is an old man from Prince Tan's Mansion.
He is Zhu Qiyu's confidant.
But apart from loyalty, there is nothing else.
Because he was not good at power and could not be the eunuch who held the seal, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to reuse Xing'an and let him hold the seal.
Even if he was asked to supervise the East Factory, he could not establish his authority and made the East Factory into a mess. The mud could not hold up the wall.
And Xing'an is a typical example of Mission Impossible, who is in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han.
He became the chief eunuch, which led to the ceremonial eunuch, and there were many young men everywhere. Chen Ding, Ruan Jian and others all betrayed Zhu Qiyu.
The same goes for Jin Yiwei.
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he appointed Bi Wang, who was born in Prince Yin's palace, as the commander of the Jin Yiwei. However, it turned out to be the biggest joke of the Jin Yiwei.
Now the factory guards have been infiltrated into sieves and are not under his control at all.
What's even more frightening is that after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, the officials had almost no objection, and they directly shouted for long live the Emperor Jingtai and swept him into the garbage dump of history. At the same time, he sealed the coffin and gave him the posthumous title of "violent" to invite new favors. Emperor.
It is equivalent to saying that everyone in the palace and court has abandoned Zhu Qiyu.
He is the only one in the world who can interpret the puppet emperor vividly.
Zhu Qiyu got up from the bed and was supported by Wang Cheng to the entrance of the palace.
Seeing the colorful lanterns swaying in the wind, my heart skipped a beat.
Quickly ask: "What day is today?"
"Back to your lord, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month of which year?"
Zhu Qiyu was so excited that he coughed violently.
His health was so bad that he let himself go even when he was terminally ill. He was simply courting death.
However, you can't blame him.
The biggest flaw is that the emperor has no sons.
The courtiers who were loyal to him felt insecure and were ready to fall into Zhu Qizhen's arms at any time.
He was even paranoid and had nightmares all night, thinking that God was punishing him for taking away his brother Zhu Qizhen's throne, and that he had no descendants.
"Eight years of Jingtai..."
The eighth year of Jingtai, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!
broken!
Tomorrow is the game to win!
Zhu Qiyu, who was familiar with history, turned pale. He had just traveled through time and was about to die?
He grabbed Wang Cheng's arm and asked softly: "Are all the people who serve me reliable?"
Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment and nodded: "They are all reliable and have been deeply favored by you. I will never forget them until I die."
"Really reliable?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Then why did Cao Jixiang betray me?"
"How can it be?"
Wang Cheng was confused.
Cao Jixiang was a member of Wang Zhenmen. After Zhu Qiyu succeeded to the throne, he was recommended by Cheng Jing and became a confidant and became a eunuch.
Although Cao Jixiang was once from Zhu Qizhen.
But he knows how to fight and is loyal and diligent in his work. Why would he betray?
"Your Majesty, forgive me. I will go and capture Cao Jixiang." Wang Cheng knelt on the ground in fear and kept kowtowing.
"Wait a minute, it's not time to take action yet."
Zhu Qiyu's face was gloomy.
Cao Jixiang is just an eunuch and cannot cause trouble.
Mainly Shi Heng, who brought the elite border troops back to Beijing to report on their work.
If Cao Jixiang is captured, he will definitely be able to alert the enemy.
Who knows how bad the situation will turn out.
He also lost his prophetic edge.
Now Zhu Qiyu is in an extremely embarrassing situation.
The Beijing camp is in Yu Qian's hands, and the civil service group will not interfere in the struggle for the throne.
The factory guards also did not obey his orders.
Wang Cheng and Bi Wang were both helpless adou. One brought down Dongchang, and the other brought down Jinyiwei. Now Zhu Qizhen is about to be restored, but he has no one available.
There was also the old witch Queen Dowager Sun in the palace, whom Zhu Qizhen relied on as a horn.
It can be said that the ground is full of thorns and it is difficult to move even an inch.
"Xuanzhu Ji comes to see you in secret."
Zhu Qiyu sighed and thought for a long time before saying: "Make me another bowl of hot porridge, let Shu Liang keep an eye on it the whole time, and don't allow anyone to touch it. Send it to my bedroom. From now on, all meals will be made according to this process. "
He didn't believe anyone.
He is only thirty years old this year and in his prime. Why is his health deteriorating?
Taking bowl after bowl of medicine, is your health getting worse and worse?
It just happened that yesterday, when his body was in a state of recovery, Ai Gao Gao offered obscene drugs? Li Xier also came to flatter me?
To say that there is no ghost, even if Zhu Qiyu is killed, he will not believe it.
This palace is full of murderous intent!
"According to the order!"
Wang Cheng came out of the palace to deliver the order.
Zhu Ji is the commander of the Jinyi Guard and Yu Qian's son-in-law.
According to the eyes of future generations, Yu Qian can be seen through at a glance.
But the original owner had watched it for eight years, but he didn't see it through. He was still on guard against him, but turned a blind eye to Zhu Qizhen's live bomb.
Not long after, Shu Liang came in with hot porridge. Looking at Zhu Qiyu's extremely haggard face, he burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"
Zhu Qiyu didn't let him feed him. He took the bowl and asked him, "Were you watching the whole process?"
Shu Liang was a handy eunuch from the Xixin Division. He was promoted by Zhu Qiyu and has always been loyal.
He has not received any favor from Zhu Qizhen. If Zhu Qizhen restores his power, he will definitely not end well, so Shu Liang can believe it.
"Go back to your Majesty, my servants are watching the whole process, and they haven't passed anyone's hands."
Shu Liang knelt on the ground: "I have tasted it myself, and there is absolutely no problem."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, took a few sips with the spoon.
His stomach felt a little warmer. His illness was mainly a heart disease, and it was getting worse due to the conspiracies of the people in the palace.
After all, the harem had been run by Empress Dowager Sun for many years, and her confidants were everywhere, so it was too easy to attack him.
After drinking the porridge, Zhu Qiyu took a few steps slowly.
With food in my stomach, my body feels better.
Suddenly I saw a little eunuch sneaking around, as if he wanted to sneak out.
"What are you doing?"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled: "Slave, this slave has a bad stomach and wants to relieve himself."
"Um?"
Zhu Qiyu is now suspicious of everyone, not to mention the maids and eunuchs serving in front of the emperor, who should not be careless.
This guy has been looking out the door for a long time.
"Look up, what's your name?"
"My name is Xu An..."
Xu An?
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank.
After Zhu Qizhen succeeded in seizing the goal.
In order to favor the new emperor, you are the one who strangled me to death!
His eyes turned cold and he shouted fiercely: "How dare Xu An lie to me!"
"I don't dare. I'm really hungry. I want to relieve myself in a hurry. I really..." Xu An kowtowed.
If your name wasn't Xu An, I would have believed your lies.
Shu Liang Duotou slapped him twice and snorted coldly: "Who did you go out to inform? Who sent you? Who are your accomplices? Why don't you actually recruit them?"
Xu An shivered and refused to say anything.
"Drag him out and kill him with a stick!"
Zhu Qiyu's face was ashen, he was about to seize the door, and he had no time to waste time on a little eunuch.
"Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, how did you do this job! The people who serve me actually have spies of others! What use do I need from you!"
"This slave deserves to die!" Shu Liang didn't dare to say anything and lay prone on the ground.
All the people in the palace knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at everyone coldly.
The court, the ceremonial supervisor, and the royal guards are not under control, so that's it.
Even the people around me are half-hearted!
It’s all because I, the emperor, am so merciful!
"Damn it, damn it, I'll die before you die!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sternly: "Hit him with a thousand sticks and let him die! If you miss one stick, I will kill you all with sticks!"
"Your Majesty, don't get angry, your body and bones are the most important!"
"We are all slaves. If you want to hit or scold me, do it to me. Don't get angry, Your Majesty!"
Shu Liang burst into tears and slapped himself while talking.
"I just know that crying is useless!"
Shu Liang quickly put away his tears and lay on the ground with his butt raised high and motionless.
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief and had no time to argue with him. He said coldly: "Shu Liang, you are under my watch!"
"No one is allowed to leave the dormitory without my order!"
"No contact with anyone!"
"Anyone who resists the decree will be killed with a stick and his three clans will be punished!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Shu Liang was in a daze. He didn't recognize the emperor sitting on the imperial desk.
Zhu Qiyu was too weak before.
Don't dare to reach out for what you want, just keep it.
Pretend to be a sage king, pretend to be a benevolent king.
Don’t dare to kill Zhu Qizhen in the Golden Knife Case;
The prince would be timid;
She wanted to have a son but didn't dare to make a big show of it, so she asked for silver pills and sent them to a prostitute...
Ultimately leading to today's situation.
The essence is that he is too cowardly, too useless and too cowardly!
Now that he is here, he will change the Ming Dynasty and restore the domineering power of Taizu and Taizong!
It's you who forced me to become a tyrant!
