After Liu Juntao accompanied the crown prince Zhu Jianshen into the main hall of the dormitory, he saw that there was no eunuch or palace maid in the huge hall, only Emperor Tianshun who was lying alone on the bed.

Seeing this, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen suddenly burst into tears and cried bitterly.

Liu Juntao also felt a little sad, Emperor Tianshun was also an emperor, and now he ended up like this.

At this time, a heavily armored soldier exclaimed: "Bingxian! Your Majesty still breathes! ”

Liu Juntao and Prince Zhu Jianshen were taken aback when they heard this, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to check.

When they came closer, the two saw that Emperor Tianshun's face was pale and very thin, but his breath was weak, and he was indeed not dead.

"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"

Liu Juntao immediately roared, the two heavily armored soldiers turned around and ran out, and the prince Zhu Jianshen also fell to the ground and cried, today's events are too ups and downs, which has made Zhu Jianshen a little unable to support it.

"Your Highness!"

Liu Juntao helped the crown prince Zhu Jianshen up and said: "Your Highness, now that Your Majesty is seriously ill, the minister said a word to punish the nine clans: Your Majesty, I'm afraid that time is running out, and now that the court is in turmoil, Your Highness must cheer up, and the court can't be without a backbone!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jianshen's face also changed slightly, his body trembled slightly, and he tried to calm down, and said: "The matter of the court, please ask the Marquis of Dingxiang!" Now Xiao Wang just wants to accompany his father! ”

Liu Juntao sighed slightly in his heart: "This is really thinking of himself as Cao Cao!" ”

"In the affairs of the court, the minister should stabilize His Highness as soon as possible, but after that, His Highness still has to be in charge, and the minister does not dare to overstep!"

Zhu Jianshen looked at Liu Juntao for a while, only to see that Liu Juntao spoke very frankly, without any pretentiousness, and his heart was slightly relieved, and said: "Then there is Lao Dingxianghou, the country is difficult, fortunately there is a loyal minister like Dingxianghou!" ”

While the two were talking, two heavily armored soldiers rushed over with three imperial doctors, and the three imperial doctors hurriedly asked for the pulse of Emperor Tianshun, and Liu Juntao and the crown prince Zhu Jianshen stepped back a little and waited.

After a long while, the three imperial doctors ended the pulse with unkind faces, gathered on the side and whispered for a long time, and walked over hesitantly.

"How's my father!"

The crown prince Zhu Jianshen hurriedly asked, but the three imperial doctors looked at the heavily armored soldiers in the hall, and then at Liu Juntao beside the prince, always looking like they wanted to speak and stopped.

Liu Juntao also shook his head slightly, and said: "Benxian is just here to rescue the driver, if there is anything to report directly to the prince, our courtiers are to obey the dispatch, what are you hesitating about!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

The three imperial physicians looked at each other, and one of the eldest imperial physicians said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty's condition is already terminally ill, and the ministers are really powerless!" Capital offense, capital offense! ”

As he spoke, the three doctors fell to their knees and waited for their fate.

As soon as the crown prince Zhu Jianshen saw the appearance of Emperor Tianshun, he had already guessed almost in his heart, and now when he heard the imperial doctor say this, he was not too surprised, so he asked: "My father's condition was still under control before, why is it suddenly like this?" ”

"Yes, yes......"

Zhu Jianshen roared angrily: "What is it? Say! ”

The three imperial doctors were taken aback, and the eldest imperial doctor hurriedly said: "It was the official Shangshu Wang Zaixin who refused to let me wait for His Majesty to take medicine, which delayed His Majesty's condition!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao was also angry in his heart, this Wang Zaixin did such a thing for the sake of authority, and people said that it was the most poisonous woman's heart, but now it seems that this scholar's mind is vicious, I'm afraid no one can compare!

The crown prince Zhu Jianshen was even more furious, and he couldn't care about Liu Juntao at this time, so he yelled directly at Liu Juntao: "Dingxiang Hou! Immediately arrest Wang Zaixin and his party, this king will punish these chaotic ministers and thieves Ling Chi and punish the nine clans! ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Jianshen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, pointing at Liu Juntao's hand and not putting it down, he looked at Liu Juntao blankly, for fear that Liu Juntao would be angry and the heavily armored soldiers around him would make any moves.

But Zhu Jianshen saw Liu Juntao saluting himself very respectfully: "Minister, take the order!" ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao took a few heavily armored soldiers out to run errands, and the rest of the heavy armored soldiers in the main hall did not squint, but were just guarding and guarding.

When Liu Juntao left, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen let out a sigh of relief, and his heart that had reached his throat was also put down: "The country has such loyal ministers, if my father had reused it earlier, he would not have ended up like this!" ”

The three imperial doctors could only bury their heads in the ground at this time, and they didn't dare to raise their heads at all, for fear that they would be pulled out by the crown prince Zhu Jianshen and killed.

At this time, calm had been restored outside the main hall, and the chief military officer Lu Changyi had basically cleared out the chaotic party in the palace and restored order in the palace.

After Liu Juntao found Lu Changyi, he asked about the situation of Wang Zaixin and other parties in the Ministry of Officials.

"Bingxian rest assured, Wang Zaixin, the secretary of the ministry, Cui Xun, Wang Liang, Shen Congming, Liu Zikuan, and other ten people have all been taken down, and they are now being imprisoned in the side hall over there!"

"Good!"

Liu Juntao said: "Go! Let's go see these bastards first! ”

Lu Changyi led the way in front and led Liu Juntao to this side hall, only to see Wang Zaixin and other ten people all tied up by the five flowers, surrounded by Beijing camp soldiers, this side hall outside the inside and outside of hundreds of Beijing camp soldiers are closely guarded, it can be said that there is no leakage.

After Wang Zaixin and other ten people saw Liu Juntao, they all began to cry and beg for mercy, and even Wang Zaixin cried bitterly, saying that he was eager to serve the country and went astray, and asked Liu Juntao to help him, and he would definitely repay him in the future.

At this time, Liu Juntao suddenly remembered a sentence that later generations described the Donglin Party: Open your mouth must be righteous, and you will betray when you encounter difficulties!

This is the integrity of these civil officials!

There are really not many Wenchen like Wen Tianxiang, Daming has been a monk for three hundred years, and I dare not say that all Wenchen are soft bones and bad people, but at least more than half of them are like this, which has to be said to be a sadness!

"Until now, you still want Benxian to save you?"

Liu Juntao looked at the appearance of everyone and sneered, and said: "The ten of you are the ten permanent servants in the world, for your own selfishness and in order to control your authority, you actually lied that Your Majesty returned to heaven, and also cut off Your Majesty's medicine, where is there still the slightest appearance of being a courtier!" If you don't kill all of you alive, and don't even connect your nine clans, how can you calm the anger of the people in the world! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao walked away, Lu Changyi looked at Wang Zaixin and the others crying heartbreakingly, waved his hand, and said: "Take strict care, don't let these guys commit suicide in fear of crime, you have to live well for the time being!" ”

Lu Changyi also turned around and went out, caught up with Liu Juntao, and said: "Bingxian, the families of these thieves have also been controlled, just now General Song, General Bai Shen, and General Tao also sent people one after another to say that the chaos in the capital has been calmed down, and now the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army and the soldiers of the Beijing camp are under martial law everywhere in the capital, waiting for the order of the soldiers. ”

Liu Juntao nodded and said: "Strictly seal the gates of all cities in Beijing, and give orders to all towns in Gyeonggi in the name of the Ministry of War: The transfer of soldiers and horses in all towns is strictly prohibited, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion!" ”

"Order!"

When Liu Juntao hurriedly returned to Emperor Tianshun's palace to return to the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, after Emperor Tianshun drank the decoction made by the imperial doctor, he was a little more conscious, and when he saw the prince Zhu Jianshen who was serving beside him, and Liu Juntao, who had just rushed over, Emperor Tianshun breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Prince Zhu saw deep tears, and accompanied Emperor Tianshun to talk for a while, and saw that Emperor Tianshun's spirit was getting better and better, and then he sat up and spoke a lot louder.

However, Liu Juntao and Zhu Jianshen both understood in their hearts that Emperor Tianshun was back to light!

At this time, Liu Juntao whispered a few words to the soldiers behind him, and the heavily armored soldiers hurriedly ran out.

"Is there something wrong with Dingxiang Hou?"

Hearing Emperor Tianshun ask, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen also looked at Liu Juntao.

Liu Juntao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Minister, I just sent someone to invite the minister of the DPRK and China......

Prince Zhu Jianshen was a little angry when he heard this, and then he was a little helpless, and finally he could only sigh heavily.

Emperor Tianshun nodded and smiled, and said, "Okay! So the best! ”

In fact, Emperor Tianshun also knew in his heart that his time was running out, and he still knew what his body was like.

It didn't take long for the cabinet ministers and the six ministers to come one after another, and everyone was shocked to see Emperor Tianshun, who was still alive, as well as the crown prince Zhu Jianshen and Dingxiang Marquis Liu Juntao standing beside Emperor Tianshun.

But everyone is also a human spirit, and at this time, the scene in front of me is connected to the scene seen along the way, and I understand what is going on!

Liu Juntao first announced in front of Emperor Tianshun and the Manchu Dynasty that the party of Shangshu was committing rebellion, intending to control the government and murder Emperor Tianshun.

But what the ministers didn't expect was that after Liu Juntao finished announcing, he didn't follow, but just stood between the ministers, waiting for the prince Zhu Jianshen and Emperor Tianshun to speak, and didn't say anything more.

This surprised everyone, and at the same time, many people cast reverent glances at Liu Juntao.

At such a time, being able to resist the temptation of authority is not something that ordinary people can do!

Emperor Tianshun nodded to the crown prince Zhu Jianshen, and asked him to step forward and say a few words to shock the courtiers, suddenly Emperor Tianshun's eyes were dark, and he fell crooked on the bed, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help, Liu Juntao and the prince Zhu Jianshen supported Emperor Tianshun on the left and right, and the rest of the ministers also stepped forward one after another.

Emperor Tianshun was already inhaling weakly at this time, and suddenly grabbed Liu Juntao's collar, and said loudly: "Assist the crown prince......"

After speaking, Emperor Tianshun fell into a coma.

"Father!"

The prince Zhu saw deep crying, Liu Juntao signaled the ministers to retreat first, first go to the Qianqing Palace to wait for the prince to summon him, after the ministers left, Liu Juntao said to Bai Yuxing who came in a hurry: "Light the wolf smoke!" ”

Then, he ordered the imperial doctor to take care of the comatose Emperor Tianshun, and he took the crown prince Zhu Jianshen to the Qianqing Palace.
