When the civil and military ministers saw the Queen Mother, they hurriedly saluted: "Welcome to the Queen Mother."
When Wang Zhen saw the Queen Mother Sun, he immediately lost his arrogance and quickly left Zhu Qizhen's side, knelt down and said, "My slave, please greet the Queen Mother and the little prince. The Queen Mother is in peace, and the little prince is in peace."
Empress Dowager Sun asked all the officials to stand behind her, leaving Wang Zhen alone to kneel down.
This move aroused Zhu Qizhen's dissatisfaction. Wang Zhen is his good brother and good companion. If you don't give him face, you won't give me face. He immediately said: "Wang Banban, you get up first."
After Wang Zhen heard this, he still didn't dare to get up.
Before Wang Zhen entered the palace, he was a failed scholar. Originally, Emperor Taizu Hongwu knew that eunuchs' interference in politics would do great harm to the country and the country, so he ordered the inscription in the palace that "Ministers cannot interfere in political affairs, and those who interfere will be killed." In the Yongle period, Emperor Yongle used the Three Treasures eunuchs to sail to the West, and began to reuse eunuchs. When his great-great-grandson Zhu Qizhen arrived, this iron plate was also stolen. Everyone knew who stole it, but Zhu Qizhen had no idea who stole it. Wang Zhen was very fond of him and did not delve into the matter.
Just because he failed in the examination, and because the eunuchs in the court showed signs of raising their heads, Wang Zhen began to think wrongly and took great risks to castrate himself and enter the palace.
Wang Zhen's own knowledge was not outstanding among the scholars, but among the eunuchs in the inner palace, he stood out. That is because Wang Zhen could read and hyphenate, so he was valued by Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Zhanji, and arranged He served as a companion to the young prince Zhu Qizhen at that time.
After Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne, Wang Zhen also rose to the top and became the head of the eunuchs. He didn't dare to take the initiative, but the Empress Dowager Zhang and San Yang passed away one after another, and Wang Zhen became more and more courageous.
Overt interference in political affairs, coupled with Zhu Qizhen's favor, made Wang Zhen the first eunuch in the Ming Dynasty who brought disaster to the country and the people.
"Come here, give the British Duke a seat."
A eunuch hurriedly brought a chair and brought it to the British father-in-law, who had half white hair and beard.
The British Duke Zhang Fu did not refuse to thank the Queen Mother and sat down.
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Zhu Jianshen turned his head and took a closer look at Zhang Fu. Although Zhang Fu was seventy years old, his eyes were still bright and his body was strong. He was the real head of the country and the most distinguished person. First of all, he was the first general of the Yongle Dynasty and lived through four dynasties. He was also the existing war god of the Ming Dynasty. He once went on an expedition to Jiaozhi and became the dream demon of the Annan people. He also often followed the Yongle Emperor on expeditions beyond the Great Wall.
But it is a pity that in his later years, he was dragged down by Zhu Qizhen, the two-legged emperor, and died in the rebel army in the Battle of Tumu Fort.
Speaking of the Tumu Fort Incident, we have to say why Zhu Qizhenhui had the idea of conquering the imperial army himself. On the one hand, it was Wang Zhen's instigation, and on the other hand, it was also the fine tradition of the old Zhu family.
Emperor Taizu Hongwu started with a bowl, overthrew Baoyuan, and restored the country of China. His force was worthy of leverage. Emperor Chengzu Yongle conquered Mobei five times. Emperor Renzong defeated Li Jinglong's 500,000 army in Shuntian Prefecture. Emperor Xuanzong also personally conquered the country.
According to the actual records of Ming Yingzong, "Emperor Xuanzong held him on his knees and asked: Will he be able to bring peace to the world if he becomes the emperor someday?
Said: can
Xuanzong asked again: Do those who have the discipline to lead the country dare to kiss the Sixth Division to correct their sins?
Said: Dare"
Emperor Xuanzong's education planted the seeds of Zhu Qizhen's desire to conquer personally when he was seven or eight years old.
This does not seem to be a big problem. The key to the problem is that Emperor Xuanzong died too early and did not give Zhu Qizhen military training at all. He was able and dared, but he brought the Ming Empire into the abyss.
Wang Zhen was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up, but Zhu Qizhen's face was somewhat confused. He got down from the dragon chair, walked to Wang Zhen's side, and actually bent down to help Wang Zhen up.
When many ministers saw it, they all shouted: "It's unbecoming, Your Majesty has lost his friendship."
Zhu Qizhen ignored him and looked at the Queen Mother, then at his eldest son Zhu Jianshen who was standing next to the Queen Mother and staring closely at him. He sighed and said, "What is the Queen Mother doing here?"
"Come and see how our heroic emperor shuts himself up and favors and eunuchs."
"I am just following the example of the late emperor. There is no need to block the way of speech and favor eunuchs. The Queen Mother is exaggerating."
When Empress Dowager Sun heard Zhu Qizhen's rebuttal, she became short of breath and felt pain in her chest. The maids on the side quickly stepped forward to help her. The eunuch with his own quick eyes and hands moved over a chair, and then helped Empress Dowager Sun sit down.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother." A group of civil and military ministers exclaimed.
When Zhu Qizhen saw his biological mother in such pain, although he was a little anxious, he did not immediately step forward to help him. He was the emperor, and now the ministers opposed his own imperial conquest. The Queen Mother did not stand on his side, but instead stood on her side. He went to the minister's side, which made him feel angry. Not helping the queen mother was also a sign of his determination.
He must go to this imperial conquest personally.
"Father, as a king, you must open your words and consider the gains and losses. If you win, it will be fine if you win, but father, have you ever thought about what would happen if you lose?" Zhu Jian, who was less than two years old, hugged deeply. She pressed the Queen Mother Sun's legs and asked Zhu Qizhen with a milky sound.
The whole hall was shocked.
A two-year-old child can speak all the words. He is extremely smart. How can he have so many thoughts? However, after a brief surprise, the smart person put what Zhu Jianshen said on Empress Dowager Sun.
It must have been Empress Dowager Sun who taught Zhu Jianshen these words.
But Zhu Qizhen was not smart. When he heard his two-year-old eldest son ask him this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I, how can I be defeated by the barbarians? The late emperor also used his chariot to conquer in person. I, I will not be defeated."
Queen Mother Sun, who was sitting on the chair, was secretly surprised after hearing Zhu Jianshen's words. Only she knew it, but she had never taught Zhu Jianshen to say such words.
"I heard Grandma Huang say that Grandpa Huang often followed Great Grandpa on expeditions outside the Great Wall, and he gained a lot of experience. But, my father, you have never been to the Great Wall, let alone led troops to fight. How can you say so decisively that you will not lose? Woolen cloth."
Zhu Jianshen continued.
In fact, Zhu Jianshen has been waiting for this opportunity. What he said this time was not to dispel the idea of Zhu Qizhen's imperial conquest, because he did not have the ability to dispel Zhu Qizhen's idea. This was already Zhu Qizhen's nightmare.
He said these words to the civil servants, military commanders and nobles here. If my father disobeys the advice and is captured alive, there is no need to trouble my uncle. I, Zhu Jianshen, will directly succeed to the throne.
Zhu Jianshen's two short sentences left Zhu Qizhen speechless. Wang Zhen saw something bad and quickly reminded him: "Little prince, tell me who taught you these words. You just need to tell me, The slave gives the little prince candy."
"How dare you, Wang Zhen, you eunuch dare to seduce His Highness here." Yu Qian, who was standing aside, said angrily.
Yu Qian also gave the little prince a high look. Even if someone taught him to say these words, it is not easy for a two-year-old child to learn the language to this extent.
Wang Zhen's words made Zhu Qizhen think about it, how could his son know so many things when he was only two years old? He was just learning what others say.
He looked at the Queen Mother Sun with anger in his eyes, "Mother, Queen, not only are you against me, but you are also dragging my son along to target me."
