Chapter 784: Little Emperor
Zhu Changxi personally presented Gu Zizhong's letter to the emperor.
The emperor received the letter and was in a dilemma.
He has been suppressed by the Empress Dowager for many years, and he is still living in the shadows.
The pressure from relatives made the little emperor feel like he was in a nightmare.
However, Zhu Changxi loves his wife very much, and he also believes in his wife in many things.
He felt that Zizhong was right about this.
The little emperor trusted Zhu Changxi very much.
Because apart from the fact that he has a good impression of Zhu Changxi, it seems that he has no other choice.
The local vassal princes each have their own thoughts, who will take your little emperor in their eyes?
The little emperor is not old enough, so he must have less scheming.
Many vassal kings wanted to watch from the wall and see the jokes of the court.
As a result, I didn't expect that the Zhu family in Jinling inserted a lever, which made the local vassal kings angry.
But after all, the little emperor is happy, and he has someone he can rely on.
Zhu Changxi is making a difficult decision at this time, should he go it alone or follow the emperor?
If you go it alone, you are no different from those who rebel, and you will be scolded by the people of the world.
But if you follow the emperor, the initiative will be gone.
What if this little emperor is a wreck?
Zhu Changxi can't help but be on guard, choosing a monarch is like choosing a husband, if he chooses the wrong one, he will be miserable for the rest of his life.
Zhu Changxi regretted that he had killed the generals of those relatives.
Now there is no one in the court who can control the little emperor.
He was pondering, and the little emperor invited him to the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor has spoken, and he can't help but go.
Wu Yicheng suggested that he wear a sword into the temple.
But when you see the emperor, who can bring a sword?
Zhu Changxi is so entangled.
However, the emperor relieved him and allowed him to wear armor and a sword to enter the palace.
Zhu Changxi was stunned.
He did so and entered the Qianqing Palace fully armed.
The little emperor was sitting upright.
Zhu Changxi's eyes were still trembling, after all, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to the emperor.
Nonsense, who dares to be disrespectful to the emperor easily?
Zhu Changxi found himself under the stairs, and his mood was much more relaxed.
When the little emperor saw him, he treated him as if he were his own brother and invited him aside.
Two people sit facing each other.
The little emperor didn't have any score at all, and when he saw Zhu Changxi, it was like seeing his own brother, and he didn't let go of Zhu Changxi's hand.
"Brother Zhu, I'm glad to have you this time. Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago. The little emperor said it sincerely and excitedly.
Zhu Changxi was already moved.
He still took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to the little emperor.
The little emperor took the letter and looked at it, pursed his lips, and looked depressed.
He didn't say much, but invited Zhu Changxi to the throne.
Zhu Changxi followed him for two steps, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He hurriedly stopped, saluted to the emperor and said, "Changxi is just an ordinary prince, how can he go to the palace with the emperor?"
The steps were high, and he was thankful he didn't go up.
The little emperor said while crying: "Brother Zhu, you helped take back my throne." So that's half for you. You come here first. ”
Zhu Changxi couldn't resist him and followed him up the steps.
When he arrived next to the dragon chair, Zhu Changxi was trembling and didn't dare to sit down.
At this time, he remembered what Gu Zizhong said to him at the beginning.
Gu Zizhong said that he was cowardly, too weak-hearted, and dropped the chain at a critical moment.
The moment was fulfilled.
He went up with him, and what could he do?
The emperor asked him to stand aside. The emperor himself sat down.
What did the emperor and him say about governing the world together......
He got tired of listening.
But in short, he believed that the emperor was not so scheming.
After all, the little emperor is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and this is a big child, what do you know?
What he understands is nothing more than that someone below wants to harm him, and he is scared and asks for local assistance!
Zhu Changxi was also relieved.
He still couldn't get over that hurdle, after all, it takes courage to rebel.
There are many vassal kings in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and if Zhu Changxi rebels, he is afraid that he will be burned.
It's good now, at least Zhu Changxi has the name of an escort, and in the eyes of the people, Zhu Changxi is a loyal minister.
Zhu Changxi returned to his house, closed his door, and did not see any guests.
The whole court was fried, after all, the relatives actually wanted to force the palace, which was a big crime of the nine clans.
The little emperor and the empress dowager still have to meet after all.
The Empress Dowager is already much haggard.
She helped the emperor all her life, but in the end she didn't expect to end up like this.
The Empress Dowager tried to commit suicide many times, but was stopped by the maids around her.
Gu Zizhong, who was far away in Jinling, had been paying attention to this matter.
A month has passed, and Gu Zizhong's belly is getting bigger and bigger.
Although he couldn't see it on the surface, Gu Zizhong obviously felt that he was uncomfortable moving all over.
Now that it has entered the cold winter, although Jinling is still warmer, but far away in the capital, the world has become white.
Gu Zizhong sent a letter to the imperial court, but there was no reply.
She wrote to Brother Zishan again, asking him to reply quickly.
Zhu Changxi sent a letter back to Gu Zi and told him about the situation in the capital.
Gu Zizhong only wanted to know the news of the Empress Dowager.
Although she and the Empress Dowager have different positions, the Empress Dowager takes good care of her after all, and she can be regarded as her grandmother.
She really didn't want to see the tragic death of the Empress Dowager.
However, Tang Xiannan still poured cold water on her in advance: "Sister Zizhong, forcing the palace to rebel, this is a big crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans." Whether it is a common person or a royal dignitary, as long as they commit this thing, they will not be able to escape death. ”
Gu Zizhong suddenly woke up, she was ready to accept this fact.
Tang Xiannan helped her wipe away her tears.
Qing'er also persuaded her: "Mother, if you cry again, you will cry badly." ”
When Gu Zizhong heard Qing'er's words, he didn't want to cry immediately, but laughed instead.
She picked up Qing'er and felt so heavy.
Qing'er has grown up, she is already old, and she can't hold it anymore.
Tang Xiannan complained beside her: "You are a woman who is not more than twenty years old, why are you getting old." What do you want those who are past the age of sixties to say?"
Gu Zizhong's face was red.
She smacked Tang Xiannan in the chest in shame.
It was cold outside, and Gu Zizhong and Tang Xiannan never went out after they went home.
They just waited for news from the court.
In the capital, the little emperor is also struggling with his thoughts.
The Empress Dowager once promoted him and cultivated him.
And the Empress Dowager is still the teacher who taught him the Four Books and the Five Classics.
No matter how you say it, the Empress Dowager is the benefactor of the little emperor.
The little emperor once regarded the Empress Dowager as his dearest. Even his own biological mother is inferior to the Empress Dowager's mother.
