Qianqing Palace, in the sleeping hall. After taking a nap, Emperor Tianqi felt a little better, so he opened his eyes and looked around. I found a handsome and plump figure sitting on the edge of the dragon bed, seemingly flipping through a book.
"What book is Baozhu reading?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
Baozhu is the nickname of Empress Zhang, the married wife of Emperor Tianqi, and the owner of the back figure is Empress Zhang.
"I just read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"." Empress Zhang turned around, looked at her terminally ill husband, and whispered, "I just saw the second episode where Zhang Yide whipped the postal supervisor angrily and Uncle He Guo planned to kill the eunuch."
Zhu Youxiao sighed when he heard "planning to kill the official". This beautiful queen, with a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like cherry blossoms, a nose like hanging gallbladder, and white teeth, was good at everything, but there was one thing that annoyed him - she always had trouble with Wei Zhongxian, and she was always in trouble in history. Those dead eunuchs are plotting evil things to warn themselves. But if you don’t rely on Wei Zhongxian, who can you rely on?
At that time, everyone said that Xiong Tingbi was a talented person who could put down the chaos in Liaodong and restore a bright future to the Ming Dynasty. what's the result? Just because he was arguing with Wang Huazhen, both Liaodong and Liaoxi were told to throw them away. Later, the courtiers said that their teacher Sun Chengzong had a way to build castles all the way to Liaoyang and Shenyang... What was the result? He spent all the national treasury and internal funds, and saw no results. On the contrary, Yuan Keli and Mao Wenlong made quite a lot of achievements along the way. In the end, Mr. Sun couldn't continue his job, so he had to resign again and again!
If Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong can take charge of the situation, Wei Zhongxian is just a servant and a pawn. How can he be domineering and control hundreds of officials?
Tianqi looked at the beauty queen's serious look and sighed: "Today when I was alone with Youjian, you were behind the screen. You should have heard what he said... He said that Song and Yuan Dynasties Since ancient times, Confucian ministers have been almost like women. They don’t do important things at all, and they only brag. At most, they only act as loyal ministers who will leave their name in history on the occasion of death. But how can major national affairs be accomplished on the occasion of death?"
It turned out that when Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian were talking in the Qianqing Palace, Queen Zhang was listening quietly behind a screen.
Tianqi looked at his wife and said: "He is the foundation of the country that you wholeheartedly want to establish... Doesn't he also say that loyal and virtuous people can be used? He also said that there is no one who is worthy of him in the court!"
Empress Zhang gently bit her cherry lips with her thin white jade teeth, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and her slender eyebrows were squeezed together.
Seeing the beauty queen's angry look, Emperor Tianqi only thought she looked good--this was a super beauty selected from 5,000 beauties. She was a beauty with no blind spots in all aspects! Even when she is angry, she looks so beautiful!
It's a pity that such a beauty will soon say goodbye to her heavenly being...
Thinking of this, Emperor Tianqi sighed quietly.
When Queen Zhang heard Tianqi sigh, she thought he was worried that his brother Zhu Youjian would be bullied by treacherous officials in the court after he came to the throne.
So he said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am the eldest sister-in-law of my fifth brother. My eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. She will definitely help him... I will never let outsiders use tricks to take away the inheritance of our ancestors." Come down to the country!"
Empress Zhang is not just talking nonsense, because she also has some strength, and not long ago, she protected Zhu Youjian!
It turns out that Wei Zhongxian is not the one who dominates the Forbidden City today, otherwise there would be no chance for Zhu Youjian to take over?
Moreover, the ministers of the outer court will engage in party disputes, but the eunuchs of the inner court will not engage in dog-eating dogs? No one hates Wei Zhongxian so much that his teeth itch? How can this be?
Wei Zhongxian was able to climb to his current position only by stepping on others... Moreover, his temper is domineering to the point of being brainless. I don't know how much he is hated by others!
Therefore, the eunuchs in the palace who were dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian saw that Queen Zhang always made trouble for Wei Zhongxian and fought with Wei Zhongxian several times without losing any, so they gathered together and formed a party. Emperor Tianqi loved Empress Zhang very much and did not allow Wei Zhongxian to harm the empress in the slightest.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian could only target Zhang Guoji, the father of Queen Zhang, and mobilized his party members to falsely accuse and impeach him. However, under the protection of Emperor Tianqi, he only released Zhang Guoji to his hometown.
After this fight, Queen Zhang's popularity increased, and a group of non-Wei party eunuchs, led by eunuchs Wang Yongzuo and Wang Benzheng, gathered under Queen Zhang's command. The Donglin party officials in the outer dynasty also regarded Queen Zhang as one of their own.
After Tianqi suddenly became seriously ill, there had been a round of fighting around Guoben in the Forbidden City, and Wei Zhongxian was defeated!
Because Wei Zhongxian and Hakka made a big mistake on this issue. The two of them actually found two pregnant women from outside the palace to pretend to be palace attendants, while Queen Zhang pushed Zhu Youjian to ascend the throne.
Naturally, Queen Zhang won... Emperor Tianqi had faith. He thought he would go to heaven to see his ancestors after his death. How dare he pass on his ancestral kingdom to a wild child who didn't know where he came from? Only Wei Zhongxian could do such a crazy thing!
This is the root of chaos in the country! And it failed... Anyone with any brains will know what the consequences will be.
So Queen Zhang now holds a big card in her hands that can kill Wei Zhongxian! As long as Zhu Youjian becomes emperor, Wei Zhongxian will have only one way to die.
Tianqi sighed again, feeling miserable!
Why can't this Wei Zhongxian be smarter?
Or...can't the traitorous and corrupt officials in the dynasty do something serious? You first chopped up Nurhaci’s whole family, and then you raped and became greedy again, and I pretended you didn’t even see it!
But the current situation cannot allow everyone to just be corrupt and not do anything!
...
Forbidden City, inside Xihua Gate, Xian'an Palace.
This is the residence of Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse, the saintly lady Yinyue, known as the "Ancestor's Wife Qiantai", in the palace.
It was already dark, but the lights in Xian'an Palace were brightly lit.
Feng Sheng's wife Ke Yinyue was more than ten years older than Emperor Tianqi, and she was already a woman in her fourth year of life. However, she didn't know whether she was born with beauty or if she had taken good care of herself. She is still charming and gorgeous, with a graceful posture, and she looks like a mature woman in her thirties. Although her face is not as good as that of Queen Zhang, who was selected from five thousand beauties, her figure is quite impressive. Now, just wearing a thin gauze shirt and leaning lazily on the couch, he already looks slim. I can see Wei Zhongxian bursting into tears...
Madam Feng Sheng glanced at the "9900-year-old" who was twitching and weeping, and snorted: "I know how to cry...what's the point of crying? I told you to find a way to get rid of that little girl." Pi, you have shrunk your eggs at the last minute. Now that King Xin has established the country, what else can you do? Just wait to die!"
Wei Zhongxian was arrogant elsewhere, looking like a living Cao Cao who was about to seek the throne and usurp the throne, but in front of his counterpart, Mrs. Shifengsheng, he looked completely different. Where can I still have the majesty of being nine thousand nine hundred years old? He is simply a pathetic man who knows that a disaster is coming and is so panicked that he has no idea what to do. On the other hand, Madam Feng Sheng was calmer than him, looking nonchalant.
"Madam," Wei Zhongxian shook his head, "No... Wang Ti wouldn't even dare to do what happened that time!"
"That incident" refers to a bizarre assassination incident - more than two years ago, the palace guards found several "assassins" with weapons in a toilet. This was something extraordinary. big event! Emperor Tianqi immediately ordered Dongchang to conduct a thorough investigation, and Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family wanted to take the opportunity to falsely accuse Zhang Guoji, saying that Zhang Guoji wanted to kill the emperor, and then established Wang Zhu Youjian as the emperor... But when the matter came to a close, Wei Zhongxian , but didn't dare to give it a go, but went to Wang Tiqian to discuss it.
How dare Wang Ti do it! Sooner or later, if this happened, he would be silenced, otherwise he would definitely be exterminated... So he reasoned that it would definitely not succeed, persuaded Wei Zhongxian to stop it, and immediately had those "assassins" killed to silence him. .
Ke Yinyue glared at Wei Zhongxian, "You dare not! Don't push it on Wang Tiqian... Now that King Xin is the capital of the country, what do you think we should do? Your Nanhai Sub-Army, your Dongchang Fan Son, what do your ten dogs, ten children, and forty grandchildren... want to do?"
