"Then just kneel down and die!" Zhu Qizhen said coldly and waved his hand, "Go back to the palace and lock the door!"
"Creak...duang——!"
The palace door was closed tightly, and the officials looked confused.
It took them a while to react, but... it was too late.
The emperor is gone, what else can we say?
But halfway through the outburst, there was no reason to take it back, so the pressure was put on the six departments and nine ministers.
"Wang Shangshu, how should we handle this matter?"
"Hu Shangshu, we can't just let it go!"
"Master Chen, please say something."
…
The younger brother is holding the older brother hostage, demanding an explanation.
Big Brother was also helpless and angry, but they still had reason. They would not dare to break into the palace. If they really wanted to break into the palace, it would be like stretching their necks to be chopped by the little emperor.
In the past, they would have really dared to try it, but now the little emperor is so strong, he might really kill them.
After finally getting to this position, they don't want to die in a daze, and their death will be in vain, and it will not benefit their reputation at all.
It's not a crime, it's not necessary.
Chen Zhi said loudly: "The Ming Dynasty depends not only on the emperor, but also on our loyal ministers. The emperor is young and it was just an impulse. We are just kneeling here. It won't take long for the emperor to realize his mistake."
"That's right." Wang Zuo agreed, "Don't be impatient. It won't be long before the emperor will be moved by our act of loyalty and kill Wang Zhen!"
…
After the earnest words of all the big men, the morale of the army was stabilized again. The ministers had firm eyes and vowed to open the palace gate on their knees and bring the little emperor to his knees.
Li Qing curled his lips, even wanting to laugh.
The current situation is like an angry child using punishment to force his parents to compromise.
Logically speaking, this is not wrong. The relationship between the two parties is that of king, father and minister.
The main reason is that Jun's father is a young man, but most of the naughty children are old men. They are even half-buried, which is very inconsistent.
This scene is comical and comical.
It's so funny.
Li Qing had received professional training, but he couldn't hold back.
At this time, someone at the end of the team noticed him and shouted: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Qing: "..."

When Zhu Qizhen returned to Qianqing Palace, he was still furious.
But at this moment, Empress Qian came over anxiously and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager... please come over quickly."
"Ah?" Zhu Qizhen's heart trembled. He quickly put away his negative emotions, got up and rushed to Kunning Palace. After walking a few steps, he paused and took Qian's little hand with him.
Qian was a little shy, but since the situation was urgent, she didn't care anymore and trotted to keep up with her husband.
The young couple ran all the way to the Qianqing Palace, only to see the eunuch and the maid kneeling on the ground, even brewing emotions. Zhu Qizhen did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed directly into the inner hall.
On the bed, Mrs. Zhang seemed to have run out of oil.
However, when she saw her grandson coming, she still managed to squeeze out a smile on her old face and said weakly: "Zhen'er is here."
"Grandma Huang." Zhu Qizhen stepped forward quickly, took her hand, and blamed himself: "Zhen'er is unfilial."
"What are you talking about? National affairs are important." Mrs. Zhang smiled kindly, "I heard that you and the minister had a quarrel?"
Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Zhen'er will take care of it."
"Well...that's good." Mrs. Zhang sighed, "Disagreements between kings and ministers are not an exception, but the degree of restraint must be measured and don't be impatient in doing things."
"Hey, okay." Now, Zhu Qizhen no longer has the calculations of the past, and his true feelings are revealed, "I have relied on Grandma Huang a lot these years, and I have worked hard for Grandma Huang."
Mrs. Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma Huang didn't do well. As long as your father and grandpa don't blame me when we get there, grandma will be satisfied."
"No wonder, they won't blame you." Zhu Qizhen comforted.
"Mother...!" An anxious and sad voice sounded, and then Mrs. Sun ran in with her skirt in hand. Seeing Ms. Zhang in such a state, she shouted: "The imperial doctor... where is the imperial doctor?"
"...Mother, please don't make any noise." Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly, "Let Grandma Huang be quiet for a while."
Sun: "..."
She came to the bed and squatted down, asking with concern: "Mother, how are you?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at her and said quietly: "Don't think that without me, no one will be able to control you in the future. You must abide by your duty from now on, do you understand?"
"My concubine understands." Mrs. Sun nodded obediently, "My concubine, please remember."
"That's good." Ms. Zhang was still worried about her daughter-in-law and said to Zhu Qizhen, "Zhen'er, remember, there are endless disasters if the harem is involved in politics."
"Keep this in mind, Zhen'er." Zhu Qizhen nodded solemnly.
Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth secretly: Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps, right? Why didn't you say anything when you were in politics?
She refused to accept it. According to the late emperor's decree, she also had the power to intervene in politics.
But what is helpless is that he has been suppressed by the old lady before and has no chance to succeed. Now he has finally managed to get rid of the old lady and his son has grown up again.
Her strength is even better than that of the old lady.
Judging from her performance in the past two years, she has no chance at all.
However, now that the old lady is gone, at least I have the final say in the harem... Sun was so angry that she began to comfort herself.
She said sadly, "Mother, please hold on."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't see her hypocritical face, so she looked away from her and looked at her grandson kindly, "Zhen'er, this heavy responsibility will fall on you from now on. Do you have the confidence to do it well?"
"Yes." Zhu Qizhen nodded seriously, "Grandma Huang, don't worry, I am not alone. There are British Dukes Zhang Fu, Yu Qian and Mr. Li in the outer court;
I will definitely use the virtuous to dethrone the mediocre, govern the Qingming Dynasty, restore the prosperity of the past emperor's period, and even better. "
"Just talking won't do it!" Ms. Zhang joked.
"Zhen'er will definitely do it." Zhu Qizhen was certain.
"Well, grandma will watch from the sky to see if you are bragging." Mrs. Zhang wanted to touch her grandson's face, but she had no strength in her hand.
Zhu Qizhen picked up her hand, put it on his cheek, and said sadly: "Grandma Huang, do you... have anything you want to explain?"
"Explain it..." Madam Zhang said with a smile, "I will be buried with your grandfather Renzong."
If she doesn't say this, Zhu Qizhen will do it.
"Any more?"
Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and said, "Grandma wants to meet that Mr. Li."
——
"Crunch..."
The palace door opens.
The ministers were in great spirits, and sure enough, the little emperor finally gave in.
Regardless of whether they have sore backs or numb legs, everyone’s backs are straight and neat.
Don't help me up, I can still kneel down.
Several small Huangmen hurriedly walked out, ignoring the officials and rushing towards Lianjia Village.
Everyone: "..."
It seemed as if a group of crows passed by overhead and even pooped.
Suddenly, a small yellow doorman spotted Li Qing eating melon in the distance, and said in surprise: "Don't go to Lianjia Village, Mr. Li is here."
Li Qing: "?"
Ministers: "??"
"Mr. Li, hurry up, come into the palace quickly, the emperor is summoning you urgently." Xiao Huangmen, the leader, ran to Li Qing and said anxiously, "Hurry up, it will be too late if you are late."
Li Qing's heart trembled: "What happened?"
"The Empress Dowager...is critically ill and wants to see you." Xiao Huangmen explained.
His voice was not quiet, and many officials at the end of the team heard it, and their expressions changed greatly.
This is a big deal!
The Empress Dowager was much more noble than the Queen Mother and the Empress, not to mention that Zhang was still at the helm of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so her death was destined to be extraordinary.
But they didn't understand why the Empress Dowager wanted to see Li Qing when she was dying.
Li Qing sighed secretly and said, "Please, father-in-law, lead the way."
"Sir, come with us."
A group of people entered the palace, and then, 'crunch...'
"Duang——!"
The palace door was locked again, and the officials looked ugly.
Soon, people who heard the news later began to spread the news, and before long, everyone knew about it.
After hearing that the Empress Dowager was dead, the big bosses couldn't help but look solemn. Without the Empress Dowager, the little emperor would be even more powerful in the future.
Suddenly, they realized that this might be an opportunity.
The Queen Mother has passed away, wouldn’t the Queen Mother get up?
Although the little emperor will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year, he is still young after all. If this is used as an excuse to let the queen mother intervene in government affairs...big things can be done!
All the big guys were happy. Now, they had finally found a breakthrough point.
In the past, the emperor let us choose, and today it is the emperor's turn to choose.
Whether to let the Queen Mother intervene in government affairs or to kill Wang Zhen, the Emperor has to choose one... They were happy in their hearts.
It has been Hedong for thirty years, Hexi for thirty years, and now Feng Shui has finally turned to them.
