Chapter 340: The Turtle in the Urn
In the main hall of Fengxian Palace, Zhu Gaoxu's crying was very loud! Even if the door is closed, his shouts can be heard clearly outside the door. The king of Han cried to Taizu inside, what traitor wants to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, it is simply amazing.
"Clank!" There was a crisp sound on the brick floor, and the cherry spear in the hand of a sergeant somehow fell to the ground! This seemed to wake up the surrounding sergeants, and almost instantly, there was a sound of discarding weapons.
A group of Ming soldiers knelt down one after another under the carved dragon stone steps. The military general who took the lead was Tan Qing, who was helpless when he saw this, and also knelt down. After he knelt down, he immediately turned his head and said in a deep voice to the cronies next to him: "Go and call Jin Butang and Guo Butang to come over." ”
The sergeant next to him nodded, bent over, got up, and walked outside.
Guo Zi and Jin Zhong didn't wait for others to call them, and after a while, they came into the courtyard.
Jin Zhong was the most anxious, and walked in briskly first, he glanced at the group of people kneeling under the stone steps of the main hall, and immediately understood eight points. He gasped vigorously, and then saw two trembling eunuchs kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, so he asked, "Has King Han entered that hall?" ”
Both eunuchs nodded, but could not utter a complete sentence.
Jin Zhong and Guo Zi glanced at each other, walked up the stone steps together, and bowed to the main hall outside the palace gate. Jin Zhong then opened his mouth and shouted: "There is an edict on the saint to ask the king of Han to visit the queen in the palace." The king of Han lost his honor in the palace and did not obey the decree. When the crown prince heard this, he ordered Jinwu Zuowei to command General Tan to enter the palace, and in the name of the eldest brother, he arrested you and confessed your mistake to the queen......"
Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "The prince can actually transfer troops into the palace?" ”
Jin Zhong replied: "The Holy Dragon is not in good health, and the crown prince has been ordered to temporarily supervise the country. ”
Zhu Gaoxu immediately shouted: "You dare to use troops in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!" It must be the other way around! ”
Hearing that Zhu Gaoxu insisted that they were plotting against him, Jin Zhong's face was very ugly.
Fortunately, in the Fengxian Palace, there was no wind on all sides, and Zhu Gaoxu ran inside in a panic, and he had become a turtle in an urn; So Jin Zhong was already relieved a lot in his heart, and he didn't have to be so anxious, so as not to fall into the mouth of the Ming ancestors.
Although there is a tablet of the royal ancestors to suppress everyone for the time being, can King Han hide in it for a lifetime?
Jin Zhong had completely calmed down, and he shouted unhurriedly: "The soldiers outside are the pro-army of the Holy Lord, and everyone has inspected the Holy Decree and heard what the crown prince said. We are serving the holy decree and listening to the orders of the prince, whose rebellion is it? ”
At this time, Jin Zhong was so tired that his whole body was sore, he took a breath, and said: "King Han, don't worry, you come out, go to the queen and admit your mistake, most of the time it will be fine." ”
Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "This king doesn't believe you!" Go and bring the prince here, and I will ask him personally. ”
After hearing this, Jin Zhong turned his head to look at Tan Qing, who was kneeling behind, and then looked at Guo Zi next to him. Guo Zi nodded lightly and quietly.
For now, it seems that the prince can only be invited...... Otherwise, who would order the forcible opening of the door of the temple where the ancestors' spiritual thrones were enshrined? Besides, the gate of this Fengxian Hall is very thick, and it is not easy to find something to hit nearby.
At present, the King of Han is locked inside, and the only exit is guarded by Jin Zhong and others. At this time, Jin Zhong and others have won steadily, and everything is the best plan to seek stability.
Jin Zhong saw Guo Zi nodding and seemed to mean the same thing, so he turned his head and said, "General Tan, you send someone to invite the prince." ”
Tan Qing hugged his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
The voice of the King of Han inside said, "I'll wait!" ”
Jin Zhong suddenly thought that the Han King was known for his bravery and arrogance, if he suddenly rushed out, wouldn't he be unlucky? He hurriedly bowed to the door of the main hall a few times, took two steps back, walked down the stone steps, and then stayed with Tan Qing and other soldiers. Guo Zi glanced back and followed.
Jin Zhong whispered to Tan Qing: "Don't disobey the order of the crown prince, as soon as the king of Han comes out, he will be arrested at all costs!" ”
Tan Qingzheng nodded.
Jin Zhong let out a long breath and said in his heart: Originally, there was no need to make such a big noise, as long as King Han entered the Wenlou, everything could be solved quietly. Unexpectedly, a little eunuch appeared out of nowhere, and it was a big deal! When the situation is stabilized, you must find the little eunuch to settle the account and find out who is the person behind the scenes!
But fortunately, everyone has seen strong winds and waves, and one move can't be done, and there is a backhand. Although the big thing was a bit tortuous and grinding, it was finally done.
At this point, Jin Zhong remembered that it was not a long time since yesterday, but it was really thrilling! I'm afraid I won't forget it in this life, and I don't know how many times I will think about it.
In the past, Jin Zhong was very down, and once he didn't even get entangled, but he borrowed money from Xiangshi (a person who looks at palmistry) Yuan Heng. Jin Zhong had no choice but to make a living by calculating eight-character divination...... But he didn't know how to figure out that something like that happened last night!
…… Yesterday, Jin Zhong was still in the yamen of the military department on the thousand-step corridor, and he had just left the lobby and was counting the files in the study. At this time, the eunuch Haitao came.
Haitao is a eunuch in the East Palace, when the prince was still in Beiping as the prince of Yanwang, Haitao was in the prince's mansion. Jin Zhong has not lost his son's mansion and knows this eunuch.
Haitao quietly told Jin Zhong that the prince asked him to go to the East Palace immediately to discuss matters!
The people who entered the palace with Haitao with Jin Zhong also included the right Shangshu of the household department who returned to Beijing a month ago, and Guo Zi, the political envoy of the left cloth of Beiping. The three of them walked together through Dong'an Gate and Donghua Gate into the imperial city and the imperial palace.
At that time, it was the people of Yanshan Left Guard who guarded Dong'an Gate, because just after the unitary hour, the guard asked why they entered the imperial city? Haitao said that the emperor had urgent business, and sent a decree to summon the minister to enter the palace immediately.
At that time, Jin Zhong felt that something was wrong! He clearly remembered that what the eunuch Haitao said in the Yamen of the Ministry of War was that the prince summoned him, or did he say it quietly...... Haitao, this is how dare to be pretentious?!
It was originally a relatively ordinary day, because the king of Han was going to take the war prisoners of Annan into Beijing, and there were many things to do in the military department, Jin Zhong felt a little tired, but he was still very relaxed; And as soon as he entered Dong'anmen, he became nervous.
Then they went to the Donghua Gate, which was the east gate of the palace. The person in charge of guarding the Donghua Gate that day was the person who was the left guard of Jinwu; The pro-army guards are usually forbidden to enter the palace, and the guards of the Donghua Gate are on duty outside the palace gate.
There were only a hundred guards at the palace gate, but Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinwu Left Guard, was also in Donghua Gate. Haitao and the others were not interrogated by Tan Qing, but Tan Qing entered the palace with them all the way.
Jin Zhong later learned that Tan Qing had taken refuge in the East Palace in the morning, to be precise, he had taken refuge in the crown princess Zhang! Jin Zhong didn't even know about this until yesterday...... It turned out that when Tan Qing's nephew committed a murder and was about to be killed, even the prince didn't dare to save him; Seeing that the head was about to fall to the ground, the Zhang family took the risk to save Tan Qing's nephew. So Tan Yuan's widow and Tan Qing's family were close to the Zhang family, and I don't know what happened, Tan Qing almost became Zhang's cronies.
Last night, Tan Qing was not guarding Donghua Gate at first; The eunuch Haitao went out of the palace to see Tan Qing first, and then asked Tan Qing to wait at Donghua Gate.
There are four people in the group, and entering the Donghua Gate is the eastern area of the palace, and the Wenhua Hall and the Chunhe Hall of the East Palace are all here. The Wenhua Hall is the place where the prince reads and learns to deal with state affairs, and the Chunhe Hall is the place where the prince lives.
…… There are princesses and dependents in the Chunhe Palace, and there is only one palace door that can enter and exit, and it is closed at this time. Haitao knocked on the door of the palace, and the four of them walked in, and saw three East Palace officials standing at the door of the palace, and several eunuchs.
The emperor's palace is actually in the Spring and Harmony Palace.
When Jin Zhong and the other four walked in, the door of the Chunhe Hall was closed. Yang Shiqi on the left, Yang Rong on the right, and Yang Pu on the right walked towards the main hall with the four of them, and the group became seven.
The eunuch Haitao led the way, and everyone followed into the prince's bedroom. As soon as Jin Zhong stepped into the threshold, he was stunned...... A group of people knelt in the dormitory, all facing a large bed with draperies.
The three officials, surnamed Yang, were the first to kneel on the ground and immediately began to cry.
Yang Rong choked up and said: The Holy Lord has died!
What? Jin Zhong stood in place in shock, and Guo Zi and Tan Qing didn't come back to their senses. After a while, Jin Zhong and the others also hurriedly knelt on the ground and whimpered towards the big bed.
Jin Zhong couldn't believe it at that time. In the afternoon of the same day, the saint was still listening to the government at the imperial gate, and Jin Zhong also went there and saw the saint with his own eyes. It's only been a long time for the Holy One to ...... Jin Zhongbei came from it, but he was not completely pretending to cry. If it weren't for the grace of the saint's acquaintance, Jin Zhong might still be telling people fortunes, how could Jin Zhong not be sad after so many years of being with him day and night?
But the crown prince, the crown princess and others all knelt and cried quietly, and the situation in front of them was definitely not fake......
The Holy One really collapsed! What's going on?
