"You girl!"
Queen Ma was angry and helpless.
"Tell me, when did you and Yang Xuan meet?"
"Then tell me what you have done."
"Don't miss a thing!"
Queen Ma pretended to be serious and said.
"My daughter knows!" An Qing secretly stuck out his tongue.
Then he told about the first meeting with Yang Xuan and what happened after that.
…
Soon, the day came when Lao Zhu left Beijing and went to Huangshan to escape the summer heat.
The Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army, as well as the tens of thousands of Beijing troops, all moved into action.
They want to protect Lao Zhu!
You must know that the emperor, queen, and prince of the Ming Dynasty were all present when they left the capital this time. If they were all caught in the same pot, the entire Ming Dynasty would inevitably fall into huge turmoil.
Therefore, this security measure must be foolproof.
Outside the capital.
Lao Zhu walked on the red carpet, followed by Prince Zhu Biao.
Hundreds of officials stood on both sides of the red carpet to see the emperor off.
"Weiyong!" Lao Zhu looked at Hu Weiyong who was standing at the head of the officials, smiled and waved.
"Your Majesty!" Hu Weiyong stepped forward excitedly.
Walking the red carpet with the emperor is a great honor!
"After we leave Beijing, the whole court will be relying on you." Lao Zhu said kindly.
"I will serve your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty with all my heart and soul, and die." Hu Weiyong quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Haha, we didn't see the wrong person!"
"Do it well! Do it with confidence and boldness, break it when it's time to break it, and refute it when it's time to refute it!" Lao Zhu patted Hu Weiyong on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
Not far away, a young general wearing armor and riding a horse looked at the excited Hu Weiyong from a distance, his face expressionless.
Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong, you really don’t know yourself!
This young general is none other than Yang Xuan.
It was not like he had nothing to do when he left Beijing this time.
Lao Zhu asked him to command a part of the Beijing camp soldiers and be responsible for security.
"Okay, just send it here. It's time for us to set off."
"Don't delay your government affairs!"
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he and Zhu Biao got into the dragon chariot under the watchful eyes of the officials.
Immediately, the convoy drove away.
When the convoy disappeared from sight, the officials dared to take action.
At this moment, Hu Weiyong, holding the Mu Ruyi gifted by Lao Zhu, strode onto the red carpet under the surprised eyes of the officials.
Among the ministers, a small official wearing a green robe watched this scene calmly.
…
The next day, morning.
Although the emperor has left Beijing, he still has to go to court this morning.
The officials originally wanted to sleep in, but they had no choice. This was the order of Hu Weiyong, the Prime Minister of the country.
Fengtian Temple.
Hu Weiyong led all civil and military officials to kneel down and worship in front of the empty dragon chair.
Immediately, Hu Weiyong held Mu Ruyi in his hand, looked at the dragon chair with longing, regardless of the gazes of the officials, and slowly stepped onto the imperial steps.
Finally, he stood in front of the dragon chair, glanced at the civil and military officials below, and saw the shock in their hearts. The feeling in his heart could be summed up in one word.
Cool!
At this moment, he felt like he was the emperor, with the world in his hands.
This feeling is really addictive... Hu Weiyong thought in his heart.
Fortunately, Hu Weiyong still had sense and did not sit on the dragon chair.
He looked at the civil and military officials below and spoke slowly: "We must never leave for Your Majesty, so we can slack off in political affairs. As ministers, Your Majesty will always be in our hearts."
After saying that, Hu Weiyong also handed over his hand to show his loyalty to Lao Zhu.
Below, hundreds of officials agreed with Hu Weiyong's words.
You know, there are many officials in Fengtian Palace who are dependent on Hu Weiyong.
For example, Cheng Tujie, the censor, was Hu Weiyong's confidant.
After resigning from the imperial court, Hu Weiyong issued an order that all memorials from various ministries and departments of the imperial court must be brought to him for review, as if he was treating himself as the emperor.
Upon hearing the news, all the officials silently gave Hu Weiyong a thumbs up in their hearts.
This was the second day after the emperor left Beijing, and Hu Weiyong could not wait to give orders to all the officials.
What is this? This is seizing power!
Among the officials, there were some smart people who did not express their opinions and just waited to see Hu Weiyong's good show.
In their hearts, Hu Weiyong is already a dying man.
…
On the other side, the team that was still on the road was walking slowly.
This time they will go up the Yangtze River and finally turn overland to Huangshan.
After half a month of traveling, Lao Zhu also arrived at the Huangshan Palace.
In the yard, Lao Zhu was sitting on a stone chair, eating melon seeds.
Beside him, Zhu Biao was reading the secret message left by Lao Zhu.
At this time, Zhu Biao also understood that Lao Zhu had set a trap for Hu Weiyong.
It is to completely eradicate Hu Weiyong's party.
"Hu Weiyong handled all the political affairs we piled up in two or three days. He is more capable than our emperor!"
After listening to Zhu Biao read the secret book, Lao Zhu said calmly without any expression.
But this is not what he wants to see, because it does not convict Hu Weiyong.
On the contrary, it highlights Hu Weiyong's strong business ability.
If Hu Weiyong was killed because of this, it would appear that the emperor was jealous of his talents.
The news he wants to hear is that Hu Weiyong is lawless and a dictator!
"Father, when will we return to Beijing?" Zhu Biao asked.
"What's the rush? It just came out."
"Now that you're out, let's take some time to relax."
"When I stay in the capital on weekdays, I don't even have time to go shopping."
Lao Zhu said.
"Let's go find your mother and let's take a nice stroll around Huangshan as a family."
Lao Zhu stood up and said to Zhu Biao.
…
"This Yang Xuan is quite handsome!"
"No wonder it makes my most beloved daughter think about it day and night."
Not far away, Queen Ma quietly looked at Yang Xuan who was patrolling the sentry post and laughed softly.
Beside her is Princess Anqing.
On the way, although An Qing also identified Yang Xuan to her, she had no chance to take a serious look at him.
"Mother, please stop teasing your daughter." An Qing blushed and said shyly.
"Okay, okay." Queen Ma smiled.
"But we have to find a chance to have a good chat with him." Queen Ma said in her heart.
She was looking at Yang Xuan from the perspective of a mother-in-law.
From the current point of view, Yang Xuan has caught the eye of Queen Ma.
There is no way, Yang Xuan is good-looking! (Of course, readers, you are the most handsome and good-looking)
Appearance is justice!
"Empress, Your Majesty and the Prince are here." At this time, Yu'er walked over and whispered.
"Let's go and see your father."
"Don't just look at that little guy." Queen Ma looked away and smiled at An Qing.
"I understand, Queen Mother." An Qing looked at Yang Xuan reluctantly and left with Queen Ma.
At this moment, Yang Xuan turned his head and glanced at the place where Queen Ma and An Qing had just been, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"Who is the one?"
…
