When Zuo Zhan woke up, his head was still very heavy, and it felt like a huge spinning top was tied, and he was dazed, only remembering that a car was speeding towards him, and then he fainted.

"You won't be left with any disabilities, will you?" Zuo Zhan uneasily lifted the futon to check his body, and found that his right leg was tied with wooden sticks and cotton cloth, and he couldn't move. Only the stiff pain reached his heart from time to time, making Zuo Zhan's brain begin to clear up. Thinking back to everything that happened, I suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong, this bed, this house is a classical style! Even the futon is a high-quality brocade, the dragon and phoenix embroidered with gold thread are lifelike, and he has long hair and a shawl, and his body seems to be a little thinner.

"I'm not going to be dead, am I?" Zuo Zhan kept asking himself in his heart, and said secretly: "Normally, I should be in the ward, the closest to my home is the police hospital, but the room in front of me is like an ancient exhibition, is there really such a thing as six reincarnations?" The more Zuo Zhan thought about it, the more scared he became, and he was sweating all over.

After a short period of composure, Zuo Zhan struggled to sit up, leaned his shoulders on the head of the bed, and began to look at everything in front of him. I saw a thin gold calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, and the handwriting was obscure. A set of nanmu tables and chairs, vases of secret color porcelain are placed on both sides, an incense burner is set up in the middle, and a set of glazed tea sets are placed in front of it. Under the table, there is a large open pot of Yuan blue and white flowers, and there are several plants that cannot be named.

It is said that seeing is believing, Zuo Zhan was completely stunned by what he saw with his own eyes, and he didn't find his mobile phone for a long time, so he had to shout in despair: "Is there anyone?" I want to drink water. ”

At this time, I only heard someone answer, and then the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in from outside in a panic, holding a hot tea in his hand, kneeling respectfully in front of the bed, and said softly: "Prince, drink slowly, be careful of scalding!" Zuo Zhan took the teacup and looked nervously at the "father-in-law" in front of him, his eyes looked up from the bottom like radar, wearing a red brocade official uniform, black fan-faced boots, a sunflower chest and back collar shirt, a rhino horn belt, and a crown black gauze and gold curved hat on the brain door.

Seeing that his face was ruddy and his voice was kind, Zuo Zhan thought that this should be a good ghost, so he simply mustered up the courage to ask, "What is your surname?" ”

The man didn't seem to hear clearly, so he only let out an "um" and moved his head closer to the left. Seeing his cautious appearance, Zuo Zhan asked again: "What is the name of the eldest brother?" ”

This time, the "father-in-law" heard it clearly, but his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing and saying, "Prince, you can torture the slave, I am Wang An?!" Seeing that the person in front of the bed was so humble, Zuo Zhan slowly gained confidence in his heart, he probably knew that he was the master of this person, but he didn't know which dynasty it was the prince, could it be that there was also an emperor in the underworld? So he continued to ask: "What about Wang An, Bengong has just woken up, and his mind is still a little sober, tell me what's wrong?" As he spoke, Zuo Zhan took the opportunity to crepe the quilt away, revealing two legs tied up with flowers.

The man eased his nerves and said softly: "Back to the prince's words, the specific reason is not known, but on the day of the Divine Sect Bintian, the prince was too sad and accidentally fell from the railing on the west side of the Qianqing Palace. Fortunately, the crown prince was blessed by the Divine Sect and there was no major problem, but several imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital said that they needed to recuperate in peace of mind, and it would take three months to recover at the earliest. ”

Qianqing Palace, Shenzong, Wang An, these three key words flew in Zuo Zhan's mind, and he thought: "Could it be that I became the prince during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao?" ”

Considering that he was a newcomer, Zuo Zhan decided to speak as little as possible, so he motioned for Wang An to continue. Wang Anxin comprehended the understanding and continued: "After the crown prince was injured, he had a high fever and was in a coma. But His Majesty has first ascended to the throne, and many government affairs need to be dealt with, and he is also lacking in skills. ”

Faced with this chatter in front of him, Zuo Zhan was overjoyed, asked for some tea and fruit snacks, and prepared to chat with him all night. Seeing Zuo Zhan staring at him with malicious intentions, Wang An muttered in his heart: "Didn't the prince break his brain, why did he suddenly want to keep me as a companion, and the Hakka family was still guarding the outhouse!" But considering that Zhu Youxiao had just walked around from the ghost gate, and his body was still weak, so Wang An had no choice but to comply.

It turned out that the era of the Zuo Zhan was the forty-eighth year of Wanli, and he was the sixteen-year-old Zhu Youxiao, the emperor's son who had not yet left the pavilion to study. Because he has been regarded as a thorn in the side of Li Xuanzhi for a long time, and has been suppressed and squeezed everywhere, Zhu Youxiao himself has a cowardly personality and is cautious, which is why Wei Zhongxian was able to monopolize power and become "nine thousand years old" later.

Looking at the gushing Wang An, Zuo Zhan could tell from his words that this was an internal supervisor who had something to do with the Donglin Party, and the liquidation in the future was indispensable. Since ancient times, monarchy and vassal power are opposites, Zhu Yuanzhang sat back and waited for Hu Huai to plot rebellion, and then bulldozed the institutions and party henchmen who were clustered around the prime minister in one fell swoop, and abolished the position of prime minister in a grand manner. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he set up a cabinet, continued his Lao Tzu's concept, and added Dongchang on the basis of Jinyiwei to monitor the illegal behavior of the minister.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was greatly weakened, especially after the Tumubao Change, the power of the nobles and eunuchs was suppressed, and the civil officials completely controlled the court. Emperor Jiajing wanted to posthumously seal his biological parents, but the minister dared to blatantly oppose it, and even formed a gang to give the little emperor a dismissal. Fortunately, Jiajing was gifted, and he decisively slapped the board, deducted the salary, and cut the official title, so that this matter was erased. But this famous ceremonial controversy in history is a sign that the balance of power is beginning to tilt in favor of the ministers.

In the Wanli era for nearly half a century, imperial power began to decline. was first set aside by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, and then restrained by the national case, and he simply stopped going to the court to govern. In order to better enjoy the extravagant life of the harem, Wanli ordered to increase the mining tax and commercial tax, but they were all blocked by the minister's inaction. The emperor is aggrieved enough to do this. Now that Zhu Changluo is on the throne, life is even more difficult. The emperor did not confiscate the congratulatory gifts from his courtiers, but took the initiative to bribe them first. In order to win the support of the minister, not only did the mining tax be abolished, but also the silver taels were transferred from the inner treasury to reward the border soldiers. For Zhu Changluo's behavior, Zuo Zhan's heart was full of contempt, not to mention that Nurhachi was burning and looting in the three eastern provinces at this time, and the imperial court was in urgent need of military spending to quell the chaos. In fact, the fundamental purpose is to compete for power, what is the supreme monarchy? What is the side of the couch that allows others to sleep soundly?

The master and servant chatted until late at night, Zuo Zhan was a little tired, and pretended to be concerned and ordered: "Father and emperor have been working hard all day long, you have to tell him to take care of the dragon body, don't hurt your heart." ”

Wang An heard and sighed that the father and son were deeply affectionate, but when he thought that Guangzong was confused by his female pet, he said with a little sadness: "Your Majesty has taken the immortal medicine of Li Kezhuo of Honglu Temple, and his health has improved greatly, and his meals have also increased, so the prince doesn't have to worry." ”

"Why do you take the elixir now?" Zuo Zhan asked in surprise. Although this "January Emperor" is not to be worried, Emperor Zheng and the concubine beside him have to be guarded against. As the protagonist of the attack case, the red pill case, and the palace removal case, the energy is huge, there is the evil woman Li Xuanzhi inside, and the blessed king Zhu Changxun outside, no wonder she dares to kidnap the prince in front of the dying emperor, not only is she frivolous, but also threatens the sick emperor to be honest!

Regarding Zuo Zhan's question, Wang An also expressed his surprise, thinking about how the prince seemed to have changed as a person, so he had to answer patiently: "Prince, you have been lying in bed for almost a month, and you must not know much about recent things......

"This palace is tired, you should retreat first!" When Zuo Zhan heard Wang An say that he had been lying in bed for almost a month, he already knew his current situation, and he hurriedly reprimanded Wang An, leaning on the head of the bed and thinking.

If he said that he was injured when Emperor Shenzong died, then Guangzong's funeral was only a matter of the past few days. He has already taken Li Kezhuo's immortal medicine, and the next step will be to take Cui Wensheng's red pill, and then summon the minister of Tuogu in the Qianqing Palace when he returns to the light, and he also needs to show his face, in case everyone finds out that it is abnormal during the conversation, what should I do?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he tried his best to use his limited knowledge of history to remedy the predicament in front of him. The Ming generation is very respectful of the etiquette, different identities have strict dress, and what is more terrible is the language and writing, although they have read some historical books about the Ming Dynasty, but it takes a lot of effort to really practice it.

Fortunately, the current situation is a mess, and he only needs to say less and do less to get by, such as crying when he sees Guangzong, and being a "puppet" in the face of concubines and courtiers, although this will instigate Zheng Guifei and Li Xuanzhi, and will make the courtiers look down on themselves, but this is also a last resort.

Thinking about the trick, Zuo Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and decided to get out of bed to see what was going on. This change of events came too suddenly, and I can't help but doubt it. If it's just a dream, then you can still live a normal life after waking up, but the pain in your right leg is real, how can there be a heart-rending pain in a dream? If all this is true, then you have to think carefully about how to survive in a "foreign country". After all, this is the Forbidden City, the highest nerve center of the Ming Dynasty, and those who can live and work here are human spirits.

By the time Zuo Zhan limped back to bed, he was already exhausted, and his brain spun rapidly all night, so he couldn't help but be lightheaded, and he fell asleep when he lay down.
