On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, early in the morning.
Chen Xun, Wang Wen and other important ministers accompanied Naha to meet the Queen Mother Sun.
After the group passed through Fengtianmen and entered the area of the three main halls, Chen Xun and others became very embarrassed.
Zhu Qiyu is used to acting absurdly and has a thick skin. But the ministers were the same. After all, they were deeply influenced by Confucian culture. Now they were walking in the devastated Forbidden City with the Wala envoys. Those who didn't know better thought that the Forbidden City was invaded by Wala and burned, killed and looted.
As Nahachu walked, he looked around, sometimes nodding his head, sometimes smiling and shaking his head without saying a word.
Chen Xun and others were ashamed and angry, but they could not refute. After all, Nahachu didn't say anything. If everyone rashly denies the internal strife between the Emperor's Faction and the New Lord's Faction, they are only trying to hide the fact that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
At this moment, a group of important ministers wished that the war between the two emperors could be ended immediately, so as to save the Ming court from endless embarrassment in front of foreign countries.
Unfortunately, nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory.
After finally enduring it, they entered the remote and shabby Yinghua Palace. After everyone saluted the Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian, and Empress Zhou, and after some polite remarks, Nahachu began to tell the story to the Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian, and Empress Zhou in a passionate and emotional manner. The life of the Supreme Emperor outside the Great Wall.
Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian were so heartbroken that they burst into tears.
The two masters of the harem, on the one hand, felt sorry for the Supreme Emperor, and on the other hand, they were venting the grievances they had suffered recently.
The ministers present were even more embarrassed.
This was another big joke for the Wala envoy.
Nahachu suffered defeats in front of Zhu Qiyu yesterday, but today he got back a win. He was so angry that he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Instead, he made a concerned expression and made suggestions to the Empress Dowager Sun. :
"Your Majesty, it's bitterly cold outside the Great Wall. The Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Being in the world. How can he endure that suffering? The Supreme Emperor often talks to his ministers and waits for the chance to return to Beijing. Even if he becomes a commoner, he will be happy with it.
Please also ask the Queen Mother to quickly urge the Emperor to send an envoy to greet the Supreme Emperor. "
When Queen Mother Sun heard this, she cried even more sadly. And while crying, he complained: "Late Emperor, look at the ministers you selected, not one of them is a loyal and good scholar. Your legitimate son is suffering outside the wall, but your ministers are enjoying themselves in the capital..."
Last time, the ministers forced the Empress Dowager Sun, but now it is the other way around, and it is the Empress Dowager Sun who uses loyalty and etiquette to oppress the ministers.
But the ministers didn't like hearing this, and they all secretly mocked in their hearts: How dare you say that there are no loyal and good scholars in the Ming Dynasty? Fortunately, there is none, just be happy. If the Ming Dynasty really had an unparalleled national warrior like Shen Baoxu, it would not have allowed you to successfully depose Empress Hu.
Anyone who dares to think in his mind will dare to speak out directly.
Wang Wen stood up and consoled the Queen Mother: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Tomorrow the Holy Lord will take us and other important ministers to worship Queen Zhen. When I see the Holy Lord, I will truthfully convey the Queen Mother's wishes to the Holy Lord. .
Moreover, before the Chinese New Year, the Holy Spirit had already sent a mission to Oara, and it was probably arriving soon.
If Grand Master Ye Xian is truly willing to send the Emperor back to Beijing, he can naturally negotiate with the envoy.
Before the mission set off, the Holy Spirit gave many instructions: As long as the Grand Master intends to return the Emperor, the Ming Dynasty will immediately send a large army to hand over the matter. "
"Real Queen?"
Empress Dowager Sun was busy crying and did not react for a while.
Wang Wen heard this and explained patiently: "It is Queen Qi Tianpei Shengzhen, who is also the queen of the late emperor."
Only then did Queen Mother Sun react. She couldn't help clenching her hands, frowning and glaring at Wang Wen viciously.
Wang Wen was not afraid at all. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with his words. The title of Queen Hu was approved by the Holy Spirit and officially confirmed by the imperial court. Moreover, Empress Hu was truly the late emperor's empress, as good as she was, and she was as good as she was.
Queen Mother Sun was choked to the point of speechlessness, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Chen Xun saw that the situation was really embarrassing, so he stood up to smooth things over: "To inform the Queen Mother, I think it's better to quickly prepare some clothing and supplies for the Supreme Emperor and ask the special envoy to bring them back to Oala.
As for welcoming the Supreme Emperor, the Holy Emperor was also very anxious. But haste makes waste, so please give the Queen Mother a little more time. "
Queen Mother Sun nodded reluctantly, and then looked at Queen Qian.
Queen Qian had no choice but to look at Queen Zhou.
Now in the harem, Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian are under house arrest. Apart from the people in this palace, they can no longer command many people.
Empress Zhou was nominally in charge of affairs in the harem.
But in fact, all palaces, palaces, prisons and bureaus are controlled by eleven eunuchs designated by Zhu Qiyu.
Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian's belongings were all burned in the fire. Nowadays, even the preparation of clothing and supplies for the Supreme Emperor cannot be decided.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Empress Dowager Sun said she was tired and waved her hand to signal everyone to leave.
The embarrassing thing happened again.
It stands to reason that the Empress Dowager Sun should give Naha some reward when she comes to see him as the special envoy of Walat.
But the Queen Mother Sun had no power or money, so she broke the pot. Queen Qian also had no power and money, while Queen Zhou deliberately pretended to be stupid.
All the ministers were even too lazy to show up.
So Nahachu was invited out of the Forbidden City empty-handed.
Fortunately, Wala was weak, and Naha did not seek help from the Ming Dynasty, nor did he dare to make excessive mistakes.
Everyone else dispersed, and only Wang Wen and He Yi took Naha out and came to Xicheng. There was a small alley north of the Sanfasi Yamen.
This place belongs to the Ministry of Punishment and is used to detain some distinguished prisoners.
Ye Xian's wife and two sons were imprisoned in a small, single-family courtyard here, and were constantly monitored by officers from the Ministry of Punishment.
This time it was Naha's turn to cry.
As soon as he saw Ye Xian's wife and two princes, Naha Chu knelt on the ground and cried.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they finally explained the whole story.
Naturally, Ye Xian's wife and eldest son were overjoyed when they found out that they had regained their freedom.
As for the third prince Amasangchi, he felt as if he were mourning his concubine and his heart was filled with despair.
But the reality is so cruel. The three of them, namely Xian's wife, eldest son and Naha, pretended to be affectionate and left hand in hand.
The three of them were afraid that the emperor would regret it, so they went back and took the clothes prepared by the court for the Supreme Emperor, and immediately left the capital.
Zhu Qiyu is a disguised form of killing three soldiers with two peaches. Of the three prisoners, only two can be freed. No matter what Naha chooses, there will inevitably be an irreparable rift between the father, son, and brothers of the Yexian family.
After the three people left the courtyard, Wang Wen ordered someone to bring good wine and food, and he and He Yi had a few drinks with Amasangchi.
Amasangchi smiled bitterly and said: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor is so anxious? My eldest brother and his mother have just left, and are you so impatient to send me on my way?"
Wang Wen smiled and said: "The third prince has misunderstood. Your Majesty has no intention of sending you on your way. After eating this meal, you are free to a certain extent."
Amasangchi asked in confusion: "I don't understand, what does your majesty mean?"
