Chapter 221: Ascending to the Pole
Together, the entire capital suddenly tensed.
On the way back to Zhou Zheng's home, countless people came and went in a hurry, and there were even soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrolling back and forth, and it was almost martial law.
As soon as Zhou Zheng arrived at the door, Fu Bo grabbed Zhou Zheng into the house, quickly closed the door, and said with a solemn expression: "Second young master, the master has entered the palace." ”
Zhou Zheng didn't panic, but said suspiciously: "Why did Dad enter the palace?" ”
According to his understanding, it should be the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the cabinet bosses entered the palace to agree on the succession of the new emperor, why did Father Zhou go?
Fu Bo obviously knew something, and said in a low voice: "King Xin was personally taken into the palace by the British Duke not long ago, and the palace guards followed. ”
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, thoughtful in his eyes.
The apocalypse has arranged so much in advance, there should be no problem, and now, just wait for Zhu Youzhen to take the position.
"It's okay, there should be news in the evening." Zhou Zheng smiled and comforted Fu Bo. In fact, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, the risk of the transfer of the throne was too high, and there was also a powerful Wei Zhongxian on his side.
Fu Bo's face was full of worry, and he did not relax because of Zhou Zheng's words.
Zhou Zheng didn't say anything, returned to the study, took out a book, and looked at it quietly.
The books that used to calm him down were useless at the moment.
Zhou Zheng was uneasy, and his mind was full of the death of the apocalypse and Chongzhen's accession to the throne.
The death of the apocalypse had too great an impact on Da Ming, so big that even if he was familiar with history, he was flustered and difficult to make up his mind.
Sitting in the study, he could feel the solemnity outside, and even a sense of solemnity.
Indeed, as he expected, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had already blocked the capital, and the Forbidden City was even more five steps and one post, three steps and one sentry, and no one could act rashly.
The Qianqing Palace was surrounded by the emperor's personal guards, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
In it, the identity of Shoufu Huang Liji was highlighted at this time, he fought on the basis of reason, did not even give Wei Zhongxian face, and led a group of people to support the ascension of King Zhu Youzhen to the throne.
With Empress Zhang holding the edict of the Apocalypse, the British duke holding a sword, and the first assistant Huang Liji representing the support of civil officials, Zhu Youzhen's succession to the throne has been unshakable.
No matter how unwilling Wei Zhongxian was, he could only kneel on the ground and call 'Long Live Lord'.
The general trend has been decided, and the ministers supported Zhu Youzhen to come to Fengtianmen to meet with hundreds of officials.
The ministers raised their hands and worshipped, and the group shouted, "Long live my emperor".
Zhu Youzhen sat in the main hall, only sixteen years old, his figure was a little thin, looking at the ministers in the hall, his expression was a little tight, and his hands were clutching the corners of his clothes.
But his eyes were burning with a hint of ambition.
Zhou Qingli stood on the side of the door, watching this scene, staring at Chongzhen's side face, and like many people, she had expectations for him.
Looking forward to him cleansing the world, Zhongxing Daming.
Zhou Qingli didn't notice that Wei Zhongxian and some of the eunuchs' internal supervisors quietly looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
Huang Liji couldn't see the expression on his thin face, but Zhou Yingqiu, Cui Chengxiu and others wrinkled their brows.
They had nothing to do with King Xin before, and they didn't understand, could the new emperor be the new Wei Zhongxian like the Apocalypse? If not, where do they go?
Outsiders can't guess the changes in the palace, but there are still countless people who are ready to move in the tension outside.
The eunuchs are so arrogant and killing too much, I don't know how many people hate them to the bone.
The succession of the new emperor is an opportunity for them!
However, the situation is unclear at the moment, they are just planning, not yet moving.
On this day in the capital, countless people looked at the Forbidden City with various thoughts and waited quietly.
As for what to wait for, few people can tell.
The people in the Zhou Mansion didn't sleep, and when the old man entered the palace, they were all nervous and waiting.
Zhou Fang, Zhou Ding, and Liu Liuzhen were all in Zhou Zheng's room, sitting around the table.
Zhou Fang was a little restless, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Second brother, you say, dad will be fine, right?" ”
Zhou Zheng poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's okay, what can I do?" ”
Zhou Fang nodded, and asked again: "You say, will the eunuch party make a hindrance from it, there are no Donglin people now, if there is any palace transfer case, it will be troublesome." ”
At the beginning, Guangzong died violently, and then Tianqi was detained by Xi Li, asking for the queen mother, otherwise Tianqi would not be allowed to ascend the throne, it was Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others who brought people into the palace to persecute them, forcing Xi Li to compromise and move to Renshou Palace, and Tianqi successfully ascended the throne.
King Xin is now sixteen years old, the palace is the Hakka family, Wei Zhongxian's world, if anything happens, the whip outside the palace is beyond the reach.
Zhou Ding's, Liu Liuzhen and others also knew something, and looked at Zhou Zheng with a worried face.
Zhou Zheng knew that they were not at ease, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Guangzong died suddenly, and I didn't have time to make arrangements." The first emperor is not, he has an arrangement, rest assured. ”
Zhou Fang nodded, opened his mouth and said again, Zhou Zheng said: "Wait." ”
Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng, stunned, as if he had figured out something, and silently stopped talking.
A few people sat at the table, and they didn't have any other thoughts, just waiting.
Fu Bo and the others were even more guarded at the gate, not leaving an inch, and they didn't dare to close their eyes.
It wasn't until early the next morning that Zhou Qingli returned to Zhou's mansion with a tired face.
Fu Bo and the others were overjoyed and uneasy, and said, "Master, are you okay?" ”
Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, Zhou Fang and the others who had already come out, and said, "Go in and say." ”
A group of people followed Zhou Qingli to his study and looked at him with different expressions.
Zhou Qingli knew that they were worried, and said concisely: "It's okay, the new emperor has ascended the throne safely, and there is a British public guard." ”
The big stone in everyone's hearts has finally landed, and as long as King Xin can succeed to the throne smoothly, other things will not be a big deal.
Zhou Qingli seemed to be a little tired, and looked at everyone: "Let's all go and rest, Zhengyun stays." ”
Zhou Fang hurriedly said, "Dad, I will stay too." ”
Zhou Qingli glanced at him and said, "Hmm." ”
Zhou Fang had a look of surprise on his face, and he was very excited.
There were only three fathers and sons left in the study, Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and said, "The new emperor is not in the palace, he has returned to the Ten Princes' Mansion." ”
Zhou Zheng's expression did not move, and he secretly knew that it would be strange if Zhu Youzhen did not guard against Wei Zhongxian.
Zhou Fang said: "Dad, can the new emperor control the situation?" ”
The new emperor, Zhu Youzhen was a prince before, sixteen years old, in the face of Wei Zhongxian, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, could he stand? If it doesn't work, something big could happen!
Guangzong died suddenly, fortunately, there is the eldest son of the emperor of Tianqi, and the new emperor now has no heirs and no brothers, if he also dies suddenly, he can only choose from the clan.
At that time, you can only find it from Wanli's sons, and among Wanli's sons, King Fu is the longest now!
At that time, King Fu was Qingliu, and the Donglin Party drove out of the capital in the name of 'non-grandson and non-long', that is, 'the battle of the country', if King Fu came back, how could Qingliu and Donglin, who was about to recover, agree? Don't agree, King Fu is indeed the longest, according to the rule of 'there is no grandson and no grandson', he is the most qualified person to succeed to the throne!
Therefore, if the new emperor suddenly has an accident, Daming may fall into a situation of party struggle without an emperor, in order to compete for the throne, Daming must be chaotic, it is a very terrible situation!
