Chapter 785: Bitter Pleading
But now, the Empress Dowager actually wants to force the palace.
In order to keep his position, the little emperor had to kill the empress dowager.
He was also in pain for a long time.
He couldn't figure it out, so he went to invite Zhu Changxi and Brother Zhu to chat and relieve his boredom.
Zhu Changxi told the emperor about Gu Zizhong's thoughts.
The little emperor was even more entangled.
"Grandma, she just begged me to give her a whole corpse. Brother Zhu, what do you say I should do?" The little emperor was at the dinner table, his body staggering, as if he was drunk.
Zhu Changxi had something in his heart, so he wanted to say it directly.
He didn't want to hide it, and said bluntly: "This rebellion is just a mess by a group of relatives and a group of people. Now the power of the relatives is gone, and the generals have been killed by the ministers. Without the forces of rebellion, what are you afraid of, Your Majesty?"
The little emperor thought about it, and it was indeed the case.
He wiped the sweat from his head.
He decided to visit his grandmother at Cining Palace.
Zhu Changxi accompanied.
When they entered Cining Palace, they saw a ruined scene.
The previous maids and maids are gone, leaving only two girls to take care of the Empress Dowager.
When Zhu Changxi entered, he saw a familiar face.
It's Miss Delan.
She's also a person of the queen's status now, right?
Now that the emperor has passed away, Dailan has not been martyred.
Zhu Changxi didn't expect this.
He knew that during the lifetime of the former emperor, he was the most favored by Dailan.
The way he stared at Dailan was different.
Dylan just looked down, not daring to look at him.
The little emperor went straight into his grandmother's bedroom, and saw his grandmother lying on the edge of the bed, unkempt and begging.
When the Empress Dowager saw the little emperor, she seemed to have lost her soul, and she was so frightened that she staggered and moved.
So she hit her own head.
The little emperor hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but the empress dowager became even more excited.
Zhu Changxi stopped the little emperor and signaled him not to move.
The emperor gave up.
The Empress Dowager's mood calmed down a little.
The emperor said: "Grandma, I have changed the name of the era now, and it is for the early years of Daxing." Grandma, you accompany me and rule the world together. ”
The Empress Dowager shook her head again and again, her hair fluttering on the top of her head.
"I don't want ...... I...... I don't want to. The Empress Dowager got off the bed, and suddenly knelt down under the emperor's knees with a "plop", holding the emperor's legs with both hands and not letting go, "My wife asks the emperor to give death, in this case, I will see the ancestors and ancestors when I go below." ”
The little emperor couldn't bear to see this, closed his eyes, but squeezed out the tears that had been brewing for a long time.
"Grandma...... You ......" The little emperor said for a long time, but he still couldn't say it.
Zhu Changxi couldn't bear to look at it.
This kind of scene is really sad.
The Empress Dowager has a request: "Your Majesty, my wife is sorry for you, and I am sorry for the ancestors of the Zhu family." After I die, please ask the emperor to bury me in my hometown. My family, please ask the emperor to ...... You kill them, they deserve to die. However, if they are less than fifteen years old, please ask the emperor to let them live. ”
The little emperor nodded again and again and said, "Grandma, I don't kill people." The people of my grandmother's family, I have to invite them to be officials and assist me in governing the world. Grandma, there are just a few rebels and thieves, and now Brother Zishan has killed them. The rebellion was put down, and it was all right. ”
The Empress Dowager stared at Zhu Changxi with a very complicated expression.
Zhu Changxi knew that the Empress Dowager had a good relationship with those rebellious ministers.
After all, the rebellious ministers were all raised by the Empress Dowager, and they were all their own people.
This shows that the Empress Dowager did not object to the rebellion of those relatives before.
Alas, their ancestors and grandchildren still don't trust each other, so Zhu Changxi had better not interject, so as not to get into trouble.
The little emperor has always stated that he will not kill the Empress Dowager.
But the Empress Dowager has always asked the emperor to give her poisoned wine, so that she can die a more dignified death.
After staying in Cining Palace for a while, the little emperor came out with Zhu Changxi.
When he went out, the little emperor's tears were still falling.
"Brother Zishan, you're right. After all, the Empress Dowager is my grandmother, and I can't bear to kill her. "The little emperor is very entangled.
He took out the letter, returned it to Zhu Changxi, and said, "Brother Zishan, don't worry, I won't kill my grandmother." Please go back and tell Sister Gu that we are still a family, and we want to govern the world together. ”
Zhu Changxi said "um" and put the letter away.
But Zhu Changxi still muttered in his heart.
Is it true that the emperor said so sincerely?
After a month, there was no movement in the harem.
In this way, what the emperor said is true.
The mood of the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace has also stabilized a lot.
Gu Zizhong, who was far away in Jinling, also received the letter, and he was so happy.
Li Nanyu was a bystander after all, and she still persuaded Gu Zizhong with a cold attitude: "There is no need for the young lady to be so sincere to the Empress Dowager. She is old, and sooner or later the rotten wood will wither. You should think about what the status of our Jinling family in the court will be in the future. ”
Gu Zizhong understood King Li Nan's words.
Li Nanyu sighed and said: "The Empress Dowager is not dead, and the little emperor's power is great again." When will we be able to come out of Jinling? Don't forget, young lady, King Kang Mian and Zhu Lequan are both staring at us. If the Liao king in the north also comes in and inserts a pole, our position will be completely lost. ”
She's right.
Gu Zizhong told this to Lord Zhu.
Zhu Wang Ye also felt the same way, but he couldn't do anything: "Zishan has already assisted the emperor, I can't admonish the emperor, right? The emperor has begged me bitterly, hoping that we can all tolerate the empress dowager." I can't help it. Now Jinling is standing on the side of the little emperor. No matter what the little emperor does or says, we must support it. ”
However, when this was mentioned, Zhu Wangye became angry, and said that King Kang Mian wanted to rebel and rebel......
But there was no movement at all.
As soon as he mentioned this, Gu Zizhong became confident: "No, Brother Zhu Ziqin, I successfully persuaded the Ming army from more than a dozen counties in Sichuan and Shu to defect to us. King Kang Mian was so angry that his beard stood on end. But King Kang didn't attack us. This shows that he is just boasting about himself. How can he dare to show his head and blatantly rebel because of his own lack of strength?"
When Zhu Wangye heard this, he was happy.
"I hope so," he exclaimed. King Kang Mian didn't say a word, and he didn't know what it had become in the southwest. He has been in the southwest all his life, and his troops can at least protect themselves. We still can't underestimate him. ”
