Chapter 4 The Queen Mother

Emperor Daxing still stopped in the Qianqing Palace. As the crown prince, Zhu Qizhen's every move, I don't know how many people are staring, although Wang Zhen has some influence in the palace, it is impossible to cover it for long.

Zhu Qizhen and Hui Changbo didn't say a few words, and Wang Zhen's knock on the door was heard.

Zhu Qizhen knew that he had to go.

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen left a sentence: "Qing should do it himself." ”

Then he returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Before Zi Palace, listening to the cold wind blowing in the first month of the year, people felt that there was a burst of yin air blowing on their faces, and Zhu Qiyu didn't know whether it was cold or scared. So rely on Zhu Qizhen, close to it.

Zhu Qizhen could only pat Zhu Qiyu's hand and said, "Don't worry, there is a brother." ”

After comforting Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qizhen fell into deep thought, he didn't have much expectation of Hui Changbo, but he never thought that Hui Changbo couldn't even find a hundred or ten people who could fight.

Almost rubbish.

I couldn't find it outside the palace, so I could only find it in the palace.

Zhu Qizhen remembered what Wang Zhen had said to him.

The eunuchs in the palace can be divided into two veins, one is from Nanjing, and the whole way is in the original way.

At this time, Beijing has not yet been officially determined to be the capital division of the Ming Dynasty, but it is called by the line.

These two eunuchs are about to talk about all kinds of grievances and hatreds between Emperor Taizong and Emperor Renzong.

Emperor Taizong lived in Beijing for a long time, and even at that time, Emperor Taizong called Beijing the capital master. It's just that as soon as Emperor Taizong went and Emperor Renzong succeeded to the throne, he felt that Beijing was not good.

Because Emperor Renzong has been supervising the state in Nanjing. He felt that Beijing was not suitable to be the capital, and that everything Beijing needed had to be transferred through the canal, which would cost the people and money.

So, after he ascended the throne, within a few months, he changed Beijing to Xingzhi, and prepared to move the capital back to Nanjing, and ordered Emperor Xuanzong to go to Nanjing to worship Xiaoling. Presiding over the preparations before moving the capital.

It was precisely at this time that Emperor Renzong died, and Emperor Xuanzong went north to take over the throne, he followed Emperor Taizong in Beijing all the year round, and he didn't want to move the capital, and the matter of moving the capital was over, but Beijing still said that he was in the line, and he couldn't be called Jingshi.

These two groups of eunuchs refer to the eunuchs around Emperor Taizong and the eunuchs who followed Emperor Renzong from Nanjing.

When the King of Han raised his army, some of the eunuchs in Beijing responded and were killed.

But you can't kill all these eunuchs.

It's just that these eunuchs have sunk into subordinates, and they can only give a hand to the group of eunuchs in Nanjing.

It is only ten years of Xuande, and it is only a little more than ten years from the Yongle period, if there are a few more years, the eunuchs in Beijing, who are old and dead, will not be able to form any force.

And Wang Zhen entered the palace during the Yongle period, and he was in Beijing all the year round, so it goes without saying which faction he belongs to. And the Queen Mother came from Nanjing and has been presiding over the harem, and the eunuchs around her are from that faction, needless to say.

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "I hope that these eunuchs in the Yongle period still have a little strength." ”

Emperor Yongle was an emperor who used eunuchs quite heavily, and the famous Zheng He was the eunuch under him. And under him, there are also many eunuchs, and they can even go into battle to fight.

I just don't know how much is left now.

It's no wonder that the emperor likes to use relatives and eunuchs, because at the critical moment, they are the ones who can honor with the emperor and lose the emperor.

At this time, Wang Zhen quietly came to Zhu Qizhen's side and whispered in Zhu Qizhen's ear: "Uncle Hui Chang was called away by the Queen Mother. ”

Zhu Qizhen's eyes flashed, staring at Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen knelt in front of Zhu Qizhen and whispered, "The slave should die." ”

Wang Zhen said in advance that Zhu Qizhen and Hui Changbo would meet without knowing it. It's just that I never expected it to be like this.

Zhu Qizhen had the intention of killing Wang Zhen at this moment.

Wang Zhen has been by Zhu Qizhen's side since he was a child, if Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen have no feelings, they are not, but he is now inevitably mixed with some views of later generations on Wang Zhen.

It's just that he knows that the person he can really use now is Wang Zhen.

Zhu Qizhen took a few deep breaths and calmed down. said, "Lead the way." ”

Wang Zhen said: "Where is the master? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Cining Palace." ”

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "Although Uncle Sun Yu of Huichang is unreliable, there is one sentence, but it is true, and today's things will never be able to bypass the Queen Mother." ”

"Sooner or later, you'll have to face it."

Cining Palace is in the west of the Qianqing Palace, and it takes a long distance to walk from the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Zhen prepared a step for Zhu Qizhen, that is, there were two long poles on the left and right of the chair, and there were four people carrying it. After all, the Forbidden City is big enough, and if you can walk it, it will be quite time-consuming.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen has the heart to think about this now.

He had the idea of luck in his heart, hoping that the Queen Mother was only hesitant in her heart, and had not yet made up her mind. But if the Queen Mother has made up her mind, this section of the road is probably the last part of the road he will take.

In the future, I will probably fly, why walk, my soul is gone.

Walking from the long palace wall behind the Yangxin Palace, I could only see eunuchs and palace maids wearing filial piety clothes coming and going hurried along the way, and when I saw Zhu Qizhen, they all kowtowed.

Zhu Qizhen also saw it, and a few little eunuchs hurriedly went in the direction of Cining Palace. 、

I know that someone has already reported to the Queen Mother.

Along the way, Zhu Qizhen calmed down.

It seems to be someone who died once. Instead, he dared to let it go.

At the back gate of Cining Palace, I saw several female officials in their forties and fifties waiting, and after seeing Zhu Qizhen, they saluted and said, "I've seen the master." ”

Zhu Qizhen asked, "Is the Queen Mother here?" ”

A female official said: "The Queen Mother is waiting for the master." ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't stop and said, "Lead the way." ”

"Yes." A female official walked in front of Zhu Qizhen step by step.

After a short time, he came to the main hall of Cining Palace.

But I saw an old lady dressed in black, kneeling on the ground, above the middle hall, there was a portrait, there was a person in the portrait, who looked quite heavy, with a black beard, not sitting, but looking a little off, wearing a dragon robe, with twelve chapters, which was the emperor's clothing.

Zhu Qizhen immediately understood that this was a portrait of Emperor Renzong.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen has seen it before, it's guessed.

Portrait of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Qizhen has seen it in later generations, although Zhu Di has not seen it, but if he wants to come to Zhu Di dare to go deep into the desert, his body must be vigorous, and Emperor Xuanzong, who is his father, see each other day and night, and I don't know what it looks like.

There are only these emperors in the Ming Dynasty, one of them is known for his body obsession, who else?

Naturally, it was his grandfather, Emperor Renzong.

"Get on your knees." The Queen Mother pressed the rosary in her hand and did not look back at all.

Zhu Qizhen listened, and obediently knelt on the futon on the side.

The Queen Mother said: "Do you know, whose portrait is this?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I know. It is a portrait of Emperor Injong. ”

The Queen Mother still didn't turn around and said, "How do you know?" ”

The portraits of this era are much more precious, even if they are copied, there will not be a few, and when Zhu Qizhen was born, Emperor Renzong had already gone.

Zhu Qizhen naturally didn't say it, he guessed it.

He whispered, "My father took me to see it." ”

When it came to Emperor Xuanzong, the Queen Mother was also silent for a while.

Emperor Xuanzong is the eldest son of the Empress Dowager, and he also attaches the most importance to Emperor Xuanzong and the Empress Dowager. It's just that Emperor Xuanzong died young, and I'm afraid that the pain in the heart of the Queen Mother is far above Zhu Qizhen.

Compared with their parents, children are unfilial people.

How can the pain of losing a father and mother compare to the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to a white-haired person. Especially the loss of a son in his later years, it is even more inexplicable.

The Queen Mother did not suspect that Zhu Qizhen was lying. Guy is his son, who is good at calligraphy and painting, and he also knows it. He also attaches great importance to this grandson, and it is possible to take him to see the remains of the first emperors of the Liedai.

The Queen Mother's mind was not focused on this, but asked in a low voice, "Do you know what is wrong?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "My grandson doesn't know what mistakes I made. ”

The Queen Mother said: "You are still hard-mouthed, did you leak the matter of King Xiang's Golden Book, what do you want to do when you summon Uncle Chang intensively today, don't you think it's wrong?" ”

Zhu Qizhen knew at this moment that no matter what he did in the palace, he couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother. He also knew that what he said to the Queen Mother at the moment was related to his life and death.
