Chapter 005: The Calm Before the Storm
"Grandpa Guo, we have entered Beijing with such a high profile, especially the emperor's body is still ......"
Chen Qiyu's face was a little worried, and he kept persuading him, expressing his disapproval of Zhao Zongwu's high-profile entry into Beijing.
Looking at Chen Qiyu, who was constantly persuading, Zhao Zongwu, who was resting beside him, said with a smile: "Yuxuan, you don't have to persuade me, my father understands what you want to express, but this father's decision to enter Beijing in a high-profile manner is not because my father has become domineering, but to make some people feel that this grandfather has become domineering." ”
Although this was a little awkward, Chen Qiyu quickly grasped the point.
Chen Qiyu asked: "Grandpa Guo, do you mean to say that this time the emperor fell into the water in Xiyuan, I am afraid that it is not like what we know about the holy decree?" ”
Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "You are right, in fact, when Wang Tiqian read out the will, he already had such an idea in the heart of this duke, and as time went by, this idea became stronger and stronger.
Now the spearhead of the matter has been pointed at Wei Zhongxian, as if to tell the world that he Wei Zhongxian is no longer satisfied with what is in front of him, he wants to go to the next level and seek greater power, but we all know in our hearts that don't look at the eunuch family in the court now, he Wei Zhongxian is respected as nine thousand years old, and even in order to please Wei Zhongxian, all over the country have begun to build ancestral halls for him.
But Wei Zhongxian's current power comes from the emperor, and when the emperor's health is no problem, he Wei Zhongxian can rely on the emperor's favor and prestige in the court, and he can rely on the emperor's trust in the Hakka family to satisfy Wei Zhongxian's various selfish desires.
But once it is said that the emperor has health problems, the first unlucky person is none other than him Wei Zhongxian!
The truth of a generation of emperors and courtiers is probably clear in everyone's heart. ”
Zhao Zongwu told what he was thinking, and after hearing this, Chen Qiyu seemed to understand why his grandfather wanted to enter Beijing in a high-profile manner.
Chen Qiyu said: "Then this time Grandpa Guo chose to enter Beijing with a high profile, I am afraid that he just wants to catch the appetite of the people behind the scenes, right?" ”
"Those who know me, Yuxuan also!" Zhao Zongwu nodded and said.
Because this time the matter was urgent, so Zhao Zongwu did not bring many people, in addition to the accompanying more than 100 people, the remaining more than 1,000 special brigade soldiers all secretly went to the capital, in order to rush to the capital as soon as possible, Zhao Zongwu even in Shanhaiguan, left Wang Tiqian and his party, and ran into Beijing alone.
The current capital is like a powder keg, and with the ups and downs of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's illness, many people are actually very tormented in their hearts, especially the eunuch core headed by Wei Zhongxian.
Since it is a high-profile entry into Beijing, then the flags that should be there must be played, and the prestige that should be in place must also be in place, with the assistance of the secret agents of Beizhili, when they were only fifty miles away from the capital, Zhao Zongwu and they showed off their might and played various flags, and began to enter Beijing with great momentum.
And this kind of movement quickly attracted the attention of the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing, there are too many large and small fish in the capital, hundreds of years of precipitation, is that a joke for you?
Wei Zhongxian, the British Mansion, the Chengguo Mansion, the Pingguo Mansion, the Xinwang Mansion and hundreds of other pairs of eyes, all saw Zhao Zongwu's every move at this time, and because of Zhao Zongwu's entry into Beijing, the Ming Dynasty Dingguo Gong, the undercurrent of the capital became more and more intense!!
Among them, Xu Xi, the Duke of Pingguo, hates Zhao Zongwu to the core!
Zhao Zongwu's Dingguo Gong was taken off from the Xu family's head and was given to Zhao Zongwu by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, because when the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew the good news of the recovery of Liaodong, he was so happy that he did not explore it carefully, so he named Zhao Zongwu as the Duke of Dingguo.
And this also made Xu Xi, the Duke of Dingguo, who had been diving, very indignant after knowing it, and asked for an apology, but in exchange for a change of title, his Dingguo Mansion was changed to the Pingguo Mansion, so the Duke of the Kingdom who was successfully sealed in Jingnan was lost inexplicably......
Do you say that Xu Xi doesn't hate Zhao Zongwu?
Although Zhao Zongwu didn't do anything in this matter, after all, you took someone else's title, and this alone is the original sin!
Originally, Zhao Zongwu's high-profile entry into Beijing would definitely be able to catch the appetite of the people behind the scenes, but the news leaked by the inner court made the capital fry.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse has died!
Originally, although the condition of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was serious, it was still in danger of his life, but the problem of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's dragon body was concerned about the whole court, especially the eunuch officials.
After all, they know better than anyone else in their hearts that if there is any problem with the emperor's body, then they will suffer, after all, they are attached to Wei Zhongxian, and no one knows better than them in their hearts, if there is an accident in the Emperor of the Apocalypse, then Wei Zhongxian's authority will inevitably come to an end, and they will be liquidated immediately.
In this case, Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, offered a spiritual dew drink......
It's just that no one expected that after the Emperor of the Apocalypse drank it that day, the state of the whole person improved, and he could even walk on the ground, and such a change made Wei Zhongxian, who was originally extremely anxious, very happy, and even the Emperor of the Apocalypse rewarded Huo Weihua at that time!
No one wants to get sick, let alone die, even the Emperor of the Apocalypse doesn't want to, being bedridden on the dragon couch for so long also makes the Emperor of the Apocalypse extremely anxious, for fear that he will die because of this disease.
It's just that just when everyone was happy and happy that the condition of the Emperor of the Apocalypse had improved, at noon the next day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's condition suddenly worsened!
He died in the Qianqing Palace in the afternoon of the same day......
The Emperor of the Apocalypse is dead.
Wei Zhongxian only felt that the world was spinning.
The inner court was in a panic, no one thought that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would die, and Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, cried after learning the news, and even said that he had harmed the emperor, and then committed suicide by taking poison!
With the news of the emperor's death, the entire capital was in an uproar, no one expected that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would aggravate his condition again after he recovered, let alone that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would die so quickly.
Because of this incident, the various rumors that originally went viral in the capital were corroborated, and Wei Zhongxian's days in the capital became more and more tormented.
And Zhao Zongwu, who entered Beijing in a high-profile manner, was furious after knowing about it!
He didn't expect that the forces behind the scenes would be so bold and reckless, this is a murder of kings!
That Huo Weihua is just an outcast!
But it exploded the Ming Dynasty!!
