Just when Xie Qian's heart was going up and down, Empress Zhang walked out of the room with a sad face, Zhu Houzhao went up and grabbed his mother's sleeve, and asked anxiously: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with my father?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, your father will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Empress Zhang sobbed, constantly wiping away the tears welling up from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

Xie Qian still didn't know about Emperor Hongzhi's situation, but it seemed that it should be better, just when he was thinking about what to do next, he saw Empress Zhang come over to give grace, and said sadly: "Mr. Xie, in the future, the emperor and I will rely on you more......

Xie Qian was stunned, this sound familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, recalling the record of "History of the Song Dynasty", saying that on the night of Song Taizu's death, Queen Song saw that it was not her son who entered the palace but Taizong coming, and said: "The lives of my mother and son are entrusted to the official family." ”

This is the meaning of being ordered in danger!

Thinking of this, Xie Qian couldn't help but feel creepy!

If something really happened to the emperor, the empress wouldn't plan to woo him as a confidant and use his influence to cultivate power in the cabinet, right?

Xie Qian calculated that if the crown prince ascended the throne, the next old Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, who had already resigned because of the lack of queens, might be in charge, and the cabinet would be led by him, and if Wang Yue and Xiao Jing listened to Empress Zhang, it was okay for Empress Zhang to listen, if not, Empress Zhang could send Zhang Yuan, Gao Feng and others to replace these two.

As for the military power, the British Duke Zhang Mao did not dare to launch a mutiny when the emperor was ill, because supporting other emperors was simply unjustifiable, Zhu Youzhi was such a son, and the prince was just a little young and playful, and there was no major fault, so why abolish the prince and set up another one? Just because I'm afraid of Empress Zhang's dictatorship?

In history, the young son ascended the throne, the queen was in power, and there were not many women who really became a disaster to the country and the people, so it was said that the Chengxiao Zhao Empress Zhang, who assisted Ming Yingzong, did not end up infamous in the end, and now there is not only Queen Zhang, but also the Queen Mother Ji, the princess Wang, Dai and several others, who dares to say that Queen Zhang will definitely control the government and refuse to return to power?

Even if Empress Zhang hangs the curtain and listens to the government, you Zhang Mao dare to risk the world's condemnation and set things right?

Zhang Mao is only a duke with a foreign surname, not an imperial surname, Zhang Mao's ancestors have been loyal and good for several generations, and Zhang Mao doesn't want the reputation of the Zhang family to be ruined.

Zhang Mao didn't dare to make a move, and others didn't dare to do it, so Empress Zhang would slowly elevate the status of the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling in the army and the government, and let them control the military and politics.

Based on Xie Qian's understanding of the Zhang brothers, these two are masters who are good at sycophants, but they don't have much real ability, and if they are given a chance, they may not be able to succeed.

Moreover, Zhang Mao and other nobles are not vegetarians, and the Zhang brothers have a lot of constraints and do not dare to do whatever they want.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Xie Qian didn't want to stand in line at this time, even if he wanted to stand in line, he could only stand on the side of the emperor and the crown prince, and he couldn't get too close to Empress Zhang, so as not to be suspected of joining his relatives.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the imperial physician came out and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, Crown Prince, Elder Xie Ge, Your Majesty has woken up and wants to see you." ”

"Just wake up."

Xie Qian secretly rejoiced in his heart, if the emperor was really gone, then things would be very tricky.

Empress Zhang hurriedly pulled her son, and re-entered the inner curtain under the guidance of Xie Qian, and when she arrived at the bed, Zhu Youzhu was still panting heavily: "...... I'm fine......"

Zhu Youzhu just said these three words.

Luckily, it's okay!

You were almost choked to death by a mouthful of phlegm just now, if it weren't for the queen's timely treatment, I'm afraid the young prince would have to ascend the throne.

Xie Qian glanced at Empress Zhang again, this woman does not seem to be completely undesirable, at least she has true feelings with the emperor, no wonder the relationship between the husband and wife can be better than that of the folk couple, thinking that he Xie Qian still has a wife and a concubine in his family, but Zhu Youzhi can always keep not accepting concubines.

"Your Majesty, you must not have anything to do, concubines and emperors...... Woo, I'm counting on you. Empress Zhang cried and cried.

"Stupid."

Zhu Youzhu complained about his wife, but there was still weakness in his words, "Isn't there Mr. Xie and Young Master Liu...... Mr. Xie, help me draft the edict. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Xie Qian really didn't want to be a bird.

If just these few people were present and the edict was drafted, and it was difficult to explain it after Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others came, how could it be so coincidental that you met the emperor dying when you stayed in the cabinet to work overtime, not only did you coincide with the meeting, but even the edict was written by you, is there a conspiracy with Empress Zhang?

Xie Qian is good at managing power schemes, so he thinks more complicated than others. In fact, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others believe in Xie Qian's personality very much, and they also understand that Xie Qian is just sharp-tongued, and he is not so neat in his work. Occasionally, the knife mouth hurts people very badly, but there is not much ambition.

Just when Xie Qian hesitated, suddenly the eunuch Wang Yue passed the seal outside: "Your Majesty, Scholar Li has arrived and is already waiting outside the palace." ”

Hearing this, Xie Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether Emperor Hongzhi is going to die or not, at least someone will come to share the responsibility with him!

It is understandable that Liu Jian was old and healthy, and his legs and feet were inconvenient and he did not arrive in time, you Li Dongyang lived in Taifusi Street next to the Taiye Pool in the west of the palace, whether it was from Chengtianmen or Xi'an Gate, it was extremely fast to enter the palace, and it was impossible to say if you didn't come early.

You, Li Dongyang, are ranked second in the cabinet, and your status is still above me, so you don't need me for this edict, right?

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, his face was a little happy, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is here, please, please." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jing turned around and went out after receiving the order.

Although Xie Qian did not mean to compare with Li Dongyang, seeing that Zhu Youzhi's attitude towards Li Dongyang was basically the same as that towards him, the gratitude accumulated before was not so strong at this time.

When His Majesty is dying, facing his former husband, he sees that everyone is like a relative, and he wants to entrust his son, and there is no brother to believe, so he can only find his own husband.

After all, he is the person he respects the most.

What Xie Qian is most afraid of is that he will be too responsible and provoke criticism.

The emperor may have to entrust his son on his deathbed, but Xie Qian himself knew that he just happened to stay in the cabinet to work overtime that day, because Liu Jian and Li Dongyang always used various excuses to ask for leave, resulting in a large backlog of cabinet notes, and they had to work overtime to complete the draft. In addition, Xie Qian didn't take care of his family much, and he would stay in Wenyuan Pavilion for at least seven or eight days out of ten in the past two years, and the probability of being bumped into by him was the greatest.

But others don't know what's going on.

People who have prejudices against Xie Qian will inevitably think, why does the emperor find you if he doesn't look for someone else, is it not that you used means to deceive the saint, and even the channels of the palace's external communication were closed by you, so that the emperor finally asked you to discuss alone, do you want to take the opportunity to monopolize the government?

Xie Qian may not be as good as Liu Jian and Li Dongyang in governing the country, but he thinks more comprehensively than others when he delves into power and strategy, and thinks of all aspects of things in advance, and he is a standard Confucian official, and he always thinks about moderation and self-preservation, which makes him always want to retreat when he encounters major events, and he can't make a decision on the spot.
