Then Mingyu Huang Youtong saluted and reported: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received the letter from the Ministry of War, Master Li, and please take a look at the letter sent by Your Majesty!" As soon as he heard that it was a military report from Li Jiantai, Ming Yizong was overjoyed and hurriedly put down the fold and let the eunuch next to him take it. But when he opened the letter, he was disappointed! I saw that it said, "The traitor is powerful, invincible!" The minister is willing to serve the crown prince to the south to supervise the country in Tianfu. Seeing this letter, Ming Yizong reacted, it turned out that the civil and military officials around him were all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they said that they would swear to defend the court against the rogues, but they changed their hexagram before the battle! It's unpredictable!

The desperate Ming Yizong closed the letter and threw it on the desk, showing a very unpleasant look? Seeing that Mingyu Huang Youtongzheng under the main hall was a little anxious, he immediately asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Could it be a fiasco at the front? But Ming Yizong didn't want to show too much sadness, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" You don't have to worry about stepping down! Then Ming Yizong walked out of the Wuying Hall and wanted to relax.

However, the Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an, who was in the Renshou Palace: Zhang Yan, sitting in the attic eating grapes and enjoying the cheerful dance of the celestial ladies of the teaching workshop, was complacent, and suddenly saw a few eunuchs and palace maids chatting while holding fruit plates, and seemed to be chatting very energetically, which made the Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an a little unbearable, she got up and was about to walk over to educate them, so she waved her hand so that the accompanying palace maids did not have to follow, and she herself walked under the willow tree, and overheard a eunuch on the bridge said" I heard that not long ago, when His Majesty went to the early dynasty, there were ministers discussing the matter of moving south? ”

The palace maid next to her said, "Huh? Since Emperor Yonglewen, the ancestor of Chengzu, has already set up the Son of Heaven to guard the country, how can His Majesty trust the ministers to move south? Although the rogues are menacing, they may not be able to capture Beizhili or even the entire capital? Your Majesty won't really listen to him, will you? ”

Just as the eunuch spoke again, the eunuchs and palace maids behind lowered their heads and whispered, "Don't talk about it!" ”

At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids who were talking just now noticed that the Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an was coming over, and they hurriedly saluted, "See the Empress Dowager, I don't know that the Empress Dowager has arrived, and I will ask for forgiveness if I collided with Feng Chai!" ”

But Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an obviously did not come to cure their crimes, but asked, "Just now you said that Your Majesty intends to move south?" ”

Frightened, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down together and buckled their heads and said, "This, the little one was also overheard, please spare the queen mother!" The little ones don't dare anymore! ”

I saw that the Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an did not blame them, but let them calm down, and took the palace maids to start driving out of the Huining Gate, looking at the angry Empress Dowager not only made the palace maids guess that something big must be happening?

Sure enough, after leaving the inner court, Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an directly found the commander of Ming Yanshan's left guard, who was responsible for guarding Baoning Gate: Qin Aotian, and came to the Wei command post, and before the soldiers came over to report the situation, Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an had already broken in and asked, "Lord Commander Wei, the mourning family wants to come here today to ask, where is Your Majesty now?" ”

At this moment, the commander of the left guard of Ming Yanshan thought for a moment and replied: "Back to the words of the Empress Dowager, I have seen Your Majesty near the Wuying Palace, and now it is estimated that it is by the bridge of the Wuying Gate?" Hearing this news, Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an quickly turned around and rushed out of the guard command post to the Wuying Palace.

Seeing this, the commander of the left guard of Ming Yanshan hurriedly saluted and said: "The last general will send the queen mother to the queen mother!" Seeing that her phoenix drove away in a particularly hurry, the soldiers at the guard command post suspected that there was something catty? Then he asked, "Commander Wei, what's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Actually walked out of the inner court to find His Majesty, do you have to interfere in politics? But the commander of Ming Yanshan's left guard shook his head and didn't dare to guess.

Soon, Feng Jia rushed to the vicinity of Wuying Palace, and walked to the bridge, and asked the soldiers standing guard along the way, "Have you seen Your Majesty pass by?" The soldiers nodded and pointed to the attic area opposite.

At this moment, Ming Yizong sat next to the attic, holding a box full of fish feed in his hand and spilling it into the pond below, instantly gathering all kinds of fish; Carp, crucian carp, silver carp, etc. are all scrambling to eat fish feed, and the eunuch of Mingsi Rite on the side suddenly saw the Empress Dowager Mingyi'an coming over, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here!" ”

At this time, the eunuch who was walking in front of the phoenix car shouted: "The queen mother has arrived!" The crowd saluted. Hearing this, the accompanying eunuchs and palace maids around His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly lowered their heads and stepped forward in small steps, and saluted: "See the Empress Dowager, may the Niangniang be a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

Ming Yizong, who was feeding the fish, saw his imperial sister-in-law coming over, and hurriedly put down the box and saluted, "I've seen the imperial sister-in-law, I don't know why the imperial sister-in-law has the time to come to Wuyingmen today?" ”

I saw the Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an say: "It stands to reason that the mourning family is the queen of the first emperor, and she should not go out of the inner court to participate in politics!" But today, the mourning family heard that the eunuchs and palace maids said that the emperor plans to move south? Dare to ask if there is such a thing? ”

Ming Yizong was a little embarrassed after hearing this! He hurriedly lowered his head, turned around and sighed, "I, I don't mean that!" It was all put forward by the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee. "Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor didn't dare to face herself, Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an felt that something was wrong? Then he walked up to him and said, "Since Emperor Chengzu Yonglewen ascended the throne, he has made a rule that the Son of Heaven should guard the country, and the king will die, and the tombs of the ancestors are all in this Forbidden City, whether Your Majesty has this intention or not?" The mourning family advised His Majesty not to move south, not to live up to the Zen concession of the first emperor, and to give up the land of Gyeonggi in the north to those traitors! ”

Looking at the imperial sister-in-law who became more and more excited the more she spoke, Ming Yizong lowered her head in shame and was silent, and after some education, the Empress Dowager Ming Yi'an drove back to the palace, leaving Ming Yizong standing in place and thinking about life quietly.

The next morning, Ming Yizong, who was wearing a crown robe, looked at the officials in the main hall from the first to the third grade, and asked, "If the Aiqing have nothing important to do today, they will retreat and disperse!" As soon as these words came out, the first assistant of the Ming cabinet: Wei Zaode, immediately said, "The minister has this book? Your Majesty, the Liukou is getting closer and closer to the Jingshi, lest it be unfavorable to the Daming Society! The minister proposed that he would personally escort the crown prince south to the prison country, I don't know what His Majesty wants? ”

These words can be said to have deeply pierced Ming Yizong's heart, he thought; Okay, your cabinet chief assistant actually wants to flee south with the crown prince, and wait for the rogues to be killed in the north Zhili, and then you will support the crown prince as soon as you ascend to the throne, and you will become a great hero? Before leading the army to the Northern Expedition to become the second Guo Ziyi? Don't! Since you don't think about me, then you have to die together! said very euphemistically, "Oh, let me think about this matter, and let Aiqing retreat!" The first assistant of the Ming cabinet, who was rejected, had to go down to the palace in a gloomy manner.

Ming Yizong, who walked to the imperial gate after the next dynasty, turned to the eunuch who was in charge of the Ming Si rite seal and said, "Spread my will, quickly let the general of the Ping thief: Zuo Liangyu, the secretary of the military department of Nanzhili: Shi Kefa, Jing Nanbo: Huang Degong, these people will immediately go north to escort, be sure to intercept the liukou outside the north Zhili, go quickly." "The eunuch who received the decree hurriedly ran to the Tongzheng Department to deliver the message, and asked the governor of the Mingtong Political Division: Mo Zhishu, send someone to hurry up and send the message.

At this moment, a group of Ming soldiers on horseback galloped on the official road, and suddenly at the bend the horse's legs fell to the ground somehow, and the Ming soldiers fell down and rolled more than three meters away. It just so happened that Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei also rushed over, and even Prince Mingfu and His Royal Highnesses the two vassal princes, who were leaning over and walking slowly on horseback, slowly walked over and asked, "This, what's going on?" ”

The captain of the Jinyi guard in front analyzed: "I'm afraid we can't stand the horses for a long journey!" As soon as the words fell, several more people were thrown off their horses, and most of the horses that fell to the ground were foaming at the mouth, looking very tired! Now that the number of war horses is decreasing, and he can't stop and rest, Wu Junzhen suggested, "For today's plan, as long as the two of them ride the same horse, although the point is to say, there is no other way!" ”

At this time, Yao Qiuyue said happily: "Okay, good!" The slave family and Wu Gongzi sat on a horse. ”

Seeing this, Ma Wei said angrily, "No, it is not necessary, men and women are not indecent!" Brother Wu should sit on a horse with me! Let Miss Yao and His Royal Highness the county lord sit on a horse, and the rest of the people are also crowded. In this way, they were all squeezed on a horse, and two of the princes of the feudal kingdom were carried by the soldiers, and continued to ride forward for two miles to Qi County, the capital of Weihui Prefecture.

Since there had been no turmoil before, the city was in good order, and the people were very busy, and they were quickly discovered by the surrounding people.

When the crowd saw that one of them was wearing a regular costume of four dragons, and the other two were wearing a regular costume of three dragons, they immediately knelt down and saluted, "The grass people knock to meet the three highnesses!" At the gate of the city, which was originally very crowded, when the people knelt down and bowed, the vision in front of them was instantly very broad, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly stepped forward and saluted when they saw this, "I don't know if the three highnesses have arrived, please forgive me if you miss the distance!" ”

Seeing that everyone had saluted, Prince Mingfu straightened his waist, asked the soldiers to dismount, rode to the city gate by himself, and said, "Quickly take King Gu to Prince Lu's mansion." The unbelievable soldier knelt on the ground and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to Prince Lu's Mansion?" But this vassal king is not allowed to meet? Before he could finish speaking, Prince Mingfu glanced at him, and the soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly got up and led them forward.

At the same time, there was a beautiful piano sound in the attic of the back garden of King Lu's mansion, the rhythm was not fast or slow, and the sound was accompanied by a comfortable crisp melody, hearing the Ming Lu Palace's chief Shi Si Zuo Changshi: Wei Guoling, couldn't help but close his eyes and listen to this melody with his heart, and praised "His Royal Highness Prince Lu played this song (falling geese and flat sand) artistic conception is really high!" ”

The praised Prince Minglu Min: Zhu Changshu immediately stopped his song and said, "Gai Qi Liqiu is refreshing, the wind is calm, the clouds and sand are flat, the clouds are thousands of miles away, and the egrets are flying. ”

Just after reciting the poem, the maid next to him and the head of the Minglu Palace, Shi Si, and Zuo Changshi laughed and continued to praise: "His Royal Highness Prince Lu, not only is the piano skill outstanding, but even the poetic realm is also quite superb, which makes us admire!" Can it be compared to the poet fairy Li Bai? But Prince Minglu Min modestly waved his hand and got up and said, "Hey! The lonely king, just a little bit of skin, how dare he compete with the poet immortal! But since you say so, the lonely king is really a little interested, and wants to write a poem in person, so go and get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

At this time, the guards outside the mansion hurriedly ran over, knelt down and clenched their fists, and reported, "Report, His Royal Highness Prince Qilu, there is a Royal Highness Prince and two Royal Highnesses of the prince outside the mansion who ask to see him, saying that he has something important to see His Royal Highness?" ”
