Chapter 1: Crossing

Next Chapter

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City of the Ming Empire, the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.

"How difficult the country is, the eldest son of the emperor has not yet been established as the crown prince, waiting for me to do a great job, I am afraid that there will be different opinions, and I hope that you can... Ahem, ahem..."

As he spoke, Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo suddenly began to cough up blood violently.

Seeing that the emperor's body was abnormal, the imperial doctor who had been waiting in front of the door hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to check his pulse, but he kept shaking his head and sighing.

Suddenly, Zhu Changluo, who knew that the deadline was approaching, took a deep breath and said without stopping: "I hope that you can do your best to assist the emperor's eldest son to succeed to the throne." My son is from the school, and he should be Yao Shun. ”

Hearing this, the four people sitting around the dragon couch first glanced at each other, and then got up in panic and knelt on the ground, and said in unison:

"I will use this body to protect His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son to succeed to the throne!"

Until this time, Zhu Youxiao, the eldest son of the emperor who was crying on the side, got up in a daze, but there was a little incomprehension in his eyes.

I was walking down the street not long ago, and this is crossing?

In an instant, countless memories poured into Zhu Youxiao's mind, and the severe pain made him open his mouth and shout.

Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne for a month, and not long ago he walked as usual, no one expected that his body would deteriorate so quickly.

The emperor's eldest son, Zhu Youxiao, was only 16 years old, and there was no foundation in the court, so the "Xi Li" selection staff colluded with the eunuch Cui Wensheng, just for fear of setting off a bloody storm in the court.

In this case, Zhu Youxiao's abnormal emotional changes were considered excessive sadness by the four Tuo Gu Zhongchen present.

"The emperor's eldest son is virtuous and filial, and the Ming Dynasty is blessed!"

"Wu'er, come closer." Zhu Changluo stretched out his skinny hand and beckoned to Zhu Youxiao's side.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who was sure that there were no cameras and directors around at all, knew that he had really traveled to the end of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and quickly climbed to the side of the dragon couch.

"Father..."

Although he and Taichang have no father-son relationship, Zhu Youxiao is still grateful for the cheap father's efforts to arrange for his succession before he died.

Zhu Changluo tried his best to straighten up, whispered a few words to Zhu Youxiao, and then mysteriously stuffed a golden scroll into the latter's hand.

This scroll, which I don't know what is written, made the four ministers of Tuogu all refreshed.

After handing the scroll into Zhu Youxiao's hands, Zhu Changluo coughed a few times and soothed his breath before he said, "Can my son remember what he said for his father?" ”

Hearing the word "father", Zhu Youxiao nodded heavily and said loudly: "My father is above, and my sons and daughters keep it in mind, and I dare not forget it for a moment!" ”

The father and son sang and harmonized, which made the four ministers suspicious, and their hearts were also alive.

Just when the ministers were thinking nonsense, Zhu Changluo on the dragon couch suddenly coughed twice, lay there and thought for a long time, and said weakly:

"You and the emperor's eldest son should go down and summon Li Xuanzhi to see me for the last time."

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao and the four important ministers withdrew from the hall one after another, and Xi Li Xuan, who had been waiting, listened to the will and walked in triumphantly.

After about half an hour, Cui Wensheng, the eunuch of the imperial pharmacy palm print, walked out of the Qianqing Palace, first glanced at Zhu Youxiao and the four important ministers who had been waiting outside for a long time, and then shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, it's time to control the dragon!!"

This shout marks the end of the Taichang Dynasty and represents the rise of a new dynasty.

On September 26, the 48th year of Wanli, the death knell of the Forbidden City of the Ming Empire rang for a long time, and the Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo died, and the government and the opposition mourned!

The two emperors of Wanli and Taichang died one after another one month apart, and there was a dragon and tiger fight in the harem inside and outside the government and the opposition.

At this moment, the eyes of almost all forces are focused on Zhu Youxiao, the eldest son of the emperor.

......

As soon as Taichang died, Xi Li Xuanzhi used the pretext of the first emperor's last order to lock Zhu Youxiao in the inner study of the Qianqing Palace.

That eunuch Cui Wensheng did even more excessively, in addition to giving food and drink, he was not allowed to enter or exit, and even sneered outside all day long, seeing that he was so proud all day long, he didn't know that he thought he was about to become an immortal!

In the previous life, Zhu Youxiao was a part-time designer who wrote novels on the starting point network, and his biggest interest was the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

If you are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty and are not goldfingers, there should be nothing wrong with saying that it is a copper finger, right?

On the night of the dressing, the cheap dad Zhu Changluo died because of the Red Pill case, this body is only sixteen years old, ten years younger than the later generations!

As Emperor Taichang's favorite servant, "Xi Li" was naturally unwilling to hand over the power to a little hairy child.

Then it happened that Zhu Youxiao was imprisoned in the study room of the Qianqing Palace, that is, the palace transfer case that followed the Red Pill case.

Li Xuanzhi also took great pains to be the second Wu Zetian.

The operation of this goods, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, is going farther and farther on the road to death!

Although he is now imprisoned, Zhu Youxiao will not be in a hurry at all, he should eat and drink, who will let him know history.

A woman is Wu Zetian in Daming?

Just kidding, those civil officials can hammer Li Xuan's maid to death in the court with a hammer, and they really think that the four lonely ministers are eating dry rice!

According to the development of history, even without doing it yourself, the four ministers will join forces to pull Li Xuanzhi off the horse and help him to ascend to the throne.

When the time comes, I have to teach Cui Wensheng a good lesson about the dog eunuch who doesn't know whether to live or die!

But if I'm not mistaken, Cui Wensheng should just be an arrow-blocker, in addition to this goods, there seems to be a more insidious collusion with Xi Li Xuanzhi in the back.

As for who it is, Zhu Youxiao knows it.

On the contrary, the four orphans joined hands to help themselves to take the position, and they didn't necessarily have any good intentions, but in the early years of the Apocalypse, it was "all the positive dynasty"!

At this time, the party struggle that has lasted for decades is about to produce a winner.

The problem now is that if you don't want to be manipulated by civilian officials after you take office, you need to cultivate your own power.

To put it bluntly, it is to let the biting dog out, you do the tiring and tiring work, and I will do the work for the benefit of the fisherman!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes changed, and this scene happened to be fully watched by Wang An, the eunuch standing on the side.

In his impression, this crown prince seems to have become a little different since the death of the first emperor.

Is the emperor's mental skill an innate ability of the royal family?

Zhu Youxiao, who knew the fate of his little brother Chongzhen's baby, understood that if he became an emperor and did not have his own power, he would be no different from the commander of the light pole, and he would die ugly when the time came.

It's not enough to just raise a vicious dog, you also have to hold absolute real power in your hands to ensure that this vicious dog will not bite people behind his back because he is overly trusted.

At this time, it was not yet the first year of the Apocalypse, but the Jiannu in Liaodong had already developed, and if you remember correctly, next year would be the time for Nurhachi to capture Shenyang.

The internal famine and peasant rebellion will also slowly appear in the year of the Apocalypse, if you don't want to "fall into the water and die" with the one in history, this emperor has to change his ways.

First of all, Comrade Lao Wei is definitely the best candidate for that vicious dog, regardless of whether he is 100% loyal or not, this product is a must against the Donglin Party, and it must be used.

However, Lao Wei was able to get to this point in history with his own skills, and it was impossible for him to be a little tired and have no means, so it was also necessary to prevent him from doing bad things behind his back.

In addition to letting Lao Wei disrupt the seemingly "Qingming" government, he should also start grasping military power as soon as possible after succeeding to the throne.

You must know how Zhu Youxiao finished playing in history because he wanted to seize the military power, and then "accidentally" fell into the water and died young like Taichang.

The old military power, from the change of the civil fort to the present, has actually been controlled by the civilian officials, and they want to take the military power from the military department?

There are a hundred ways to make you "accidental" to die!

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the issue of military power can only be quietly started by himself.

First get out the Ouchi Janissaries to ensure their own safety, and then start from the foreign military towns, capture the hearts of those generals who command the army, and have their allegiance, so that they can rebuild the Ming Dynasty as they want.

Qi Shaobao once said that there must be faithfulness in the ten-room city, and there is no material to be brave in Zhejiang!

The Ming Dynasty has been in power for nearly three hundred years, and generations of famous generals have emerged, this is the year of the apocalypse, I still don't believe it, I can't find a few generals who are loyal to the royal family!

Just thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao frowned, and suddenly heard a noisy sound outside the door, as if a group of old men and the eunuchs on guard were arguing, so he looked through the crack in the door.

"Ministers, please see the emperor's eldest son!"

"What are you doing?" Cui Wensheng held a wooden stick in his hand, stopped in front of the door with a few eunuchs, and instructed the tunnel:

"Our family is ordered by the Queen Mother, if you want to see the emperor's eldest son, go to the Queen Mother and his old man's house, otherwise you are not allowed to enter!"

Hearing the word "Queen Mother", the old men all blew their beards angrily and glared, sneered again and again, and then spoke enthusiastically, all of them looked loyal and selfless.

"As early as the Wanli period, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor was canonized as the eldest grandson of the emperor by the first emperor, and the country cannot be without a king for a day!"

"Xi Li Niangniang imprisoned the eldest son of the emperor and proclaimed herself the queen mother, her wolf ambition has been revealed, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, we should give up our lives and protect the emperor's eldest son, His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Youxiao, who saw these inside, was excited, but he still had some difficulty adapting to it when he had just crossed over.

But no matter what, a good show is to be sung.

When the words landed, the door squeaked open, but I saw that it was the emperor's eldest son, Zhu Youxiao, walking out.

Two tears suddenly slipped from Zhu Youxiao's cheeks, wiped them with his sleeves and said:

"My father died, and the school was too worried, and it was dangerous for the female generation to miss the national affairs, and the British public Zhang Weixian and the first assistant of the cabinet came to see me in the study from Zhesu and decided to discuss the enthronement ceremony."

Everyone was stunned, and even Cui Wensheng didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao, who had been staying in the room honestly, would run out.

He was in place, neither beating nor scolding, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

The two phases were silent for a long time, and the ministers who came to break into the door were deeply moved by Zhu Youxiao's filial piety, and knelt on the ground one after another, and Fang Congzhe shouted in tears:

"The ministers support the emperor's eldest son to succeed to the throne, and open the society for the well-being of all the people!"
