Nangong, Zhu Qizhen was reading a book in the study, when he suddenly heard a noise at the door, thinking it was a night cat, he didn't care anymore, and continued to read in the flickering candlelight. Outside the door, Cao Jixiang was kneeling on the ground and saluting to the door of the study: "Slave Cao Jixiang asks to see the emperor!" Zhu Qizhen heard Cao Jixiang's voice, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, pushed open the door, and saw Cao Jixiang kneeling on the ground, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Jixiang up, "What is Father-in-law Cao doing?" Why did you come to my Nangong at night? ”
Cao Jixiang got up and said, "Emperor Taishang, the old slave has something to say, let's go in." Zhu Qizhen hurriedly led Cao Jixiang into the study: "Father-in-law, please." ”
In the study, Cao Jixiang looked around and saw a scattered and remote study, scattered bookshelves, and ordinary desks, but they were unusually clean and tidy. Zhu Qizhen poured a glass of water for Cao Jixiang, handed it to Cao Jixiang and sat behind the desk. "I don't know if my father-in-law is here today, but what's the urgency?"
Cao Jixiang then remembered why he came here tonight, hurriedly put down the water cup in his hand, knelt on the ground and said: "The old slave begged the Emperor Taishang to take the throne on behalf of the Manchu Dynasty. When Zhu Qizhen heard Cao Jixiang's words, he was shocked, hurriedly looked around, and said, "Father-in-law must not make such a joke, I have already abdicated, how can I take the throne?" ”
When Cao Jixiang heard Zhu Qizhen's words, he added to the fire: "The Emperor, the current emperor, is terminally ill!" I also hope that the Emperor Taishang will return to the dynasty to preside over the overall situation. Otherwise, the vassal kings of various places will be in turmoil! ”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his brows tightened, "This ......" Cao Jixiang saw that Zhu Qizhen was a little hesitant, so he wanted to speak again, but he didn't expect Zhu Qizhen to be the first to speak: "Gonggong Cao, please go back today, these things still need to be discussed by the cabinet, after all, I am only the emperor under house arrest." ”
When Cao Jixiang saw Zhu Qizhen say this, he couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "The slave will retire first today, and I hope that the Emperor Taishang will think about the slave's proposal." Zhu Qizhen frowned tightly and waved at Cao Jixiang. Cao Jixiang walked out of the study and hurried to the Qianqing Palace.
Qianqing Palace, Nourishing Heart Palace, Zhu Qiyu held on to some spirit today to watch the cabinet's performance, picked up the teacup casually, but found that the cup had long been out of tea, so he shouted loudly: "Someone." ”
Xiao Xuanzi stood outside the door and heard Zhu Qiyu's call, and hurriedly pushed open the door and came in: "Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Qiyu put the teacup aside and said, "Change a cup of tea for me." Xiao Xuanzi stepped forward to take the teacup and was about to retreat, but he heard Zhu Qiyu ask, "What about Cao Jixiang?" ”
Xiao Xuanzi paused for a moment and replied: "Back to the emperor, Gonggong Cao went to Nangong, saying that it was cold and sent some items to the emperor." Zhu Qiyu didn't let go of the folds, but said: "Let Cao Jixiang come back and come here." Xiao Xuanzi responded and retreated.
Xiao Xuanzi had just come back with a new cup of tea, and saw Cao Jixiang who was hurrying back, "Master, the emperor asked you to come back and go in." Cao Jixiang took the teacup in Xiao Xuanzi's hand, pushed open the door and went in. Zhu Qiyu didn't raise his head, so he said, "You're back?" How is Nangong? ”
When Cao Jixiang heard this, he shouted in his heart, this Zhu Qiyu hated the people around him the most and ran to Nangong, Cao Jixiang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Go back to the emperor, the emperor is all right, let the servants greet the emperor on his behalf." ”
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he put down the fold in his hand, walked to Cao Jixiang's side, squatted down and looked at Cao Jixiang, and said, "I'm afraid it's not to say goodbye but to send it off." ”
"Little Xuanzi! Come here! Slap your master's mouth! Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
Xiao Xuanzi trembled and walked up to Cao Jixiang, slapped him and said, "Do you dare to run around?!" But you still dare to spy on the emperor too much?! ”
After a while, blood was already oozing from the corners of Cao Jixiang's mouth.
"Someone!" Zhu Qiyu shouted, a group of guards rushed in at the door, Zhu Qiyu said: "Cao Jixiang, the head of the Inner Palace, went to Nangong privately, for fear of rebellion, I will dismiss him and investigate him, put him in the Inner Prison, and listen to interrogation." ”
The guards hurriedly stepped forward and lifted Cao Jixiang, who was paralyzed on the ground, and locked him in the Shen Punishment Division. Xu Youzhen saw a group of people throw Cao Jixiang in, who still had blood on the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly sent someone to take Cao Jixiang into the cell. "Dare to ask this eldest brother, what did Gonggong Cao do?"
"The Emperor is a private detective! The emperor said that he would handle it personally. Lord Xu, you can take a good look..."The guard coldly put down his words and left.
Cao Jixiang was looking at the sky outside the window through the window, Xu Youzhen entered the cell, and before he could speak, he heard Cao Jixiang say: "The sun is still shining on this day, but I don't know when the situation has changed." ”
Xu Youzhen listened, sighed and said, "You are really confused, no matter how much you miss the emperor, you shouldn't go to Nangong at this time." ”
Cao Jixiang's voice fluttered: "Lord Xu! Do you think the miscellaneous family just misses the Emperor? The old slave is going to help the emperor restore the throne! ”
"Grandpa Cao, are you crazy? How dare you say this? Xu Youzhen nervously stopped.
"Lord Xu! With your talent, are you really willing to be a little jailer?! Thinking that Yu Qian, Li Xian and others have already controlled the government in the cabinet, and your distant relative Xu Pu has also joined the cabinet! You... Are you really willing to be subservient to them? Cao Jixiang said impassionedly.
"Even today I will not hide it from you! Lord Xu! Do you know how much preparation I, Cao Jixiang, have made for today? Do you know why the emperor's body suddenly took a sharp turn? Do you know why Prince Ji died early? It's all a matter of time! It's all under the control of the miscellaneous family! ”
"Grandpa Cao! Why are you doing that? Why are you doing this? Xu Youzhen was shocked, he couldn't imagine that these things were planned by Cao Jixiang.
"Why? In order to set things right! Let the Emperor be reinstated! Zhu Qiyu, the world he has taken away, must be returned to our orthodox emperor! Cao Jixiang's righteous and awe-inspiring expression moved Xu Youzhen a little.
"Lord Xu! Now I'm in prison, but General Shi Heng has military power in his hands! Do you understand? ”
Xu Youzhen sighed lightly: "Don't worry, there is me." After saying that, he left, leaving Cao Jixiang alone to pace excitedly in the cell.
"Someone! Intended! "Zhu Qiyu lingered in the imperial study for a long time, and finally sat down and called someone to come over to draft the decree." In order to ensure the safety of Emperor Taishang and King Yi, I sent two teams of Jinyi guards to Nangong and King Yi's Mansion to ensure the safety of Emperor Taishang's dragon body and the safety of King Yi. ”
