Chapter 355: The Story in the Palace

The brick floor of the palace is filled with water, like a lake. The dark sky suddenly flashed, like a black cloth suddenly being torn.

In an instant, the surroundings were as bright as day, and the surrounding city towers and palaces suddenly became clear; At that moment, there were vaguely several people carrying things and walking towards a palace gate. In addition, the huge Miyagi seemed to be empty in an instant, and there was not even a single figure in sight.

After a while, there was a loud "clatter", as if the entire imperial city was trembling.

After the rumbling aftermath, a faint voice said in the sound of heavy rain: "It's hot weather these days, but fortunately, I used an oilcloth bag to fill ice cubes." After this rain, it shouldn't be so hot. ”

…… In the main hall of the Chunhe Palace, it was crowded with eunuchs and palace maids, and the noisy and shouting sounds, although there was a "whooshing" rain sound, it could still be heard in the Chunhe Palace. But beyond the walls, it's impossible to hear.

"Godfather, these are all traitors who colluded with the vassal king." The bearded eunuch Yunxiang (formerly known as Brother Meng), who had gray sideburns and stout sideburns, bent over and said.

Haitao, known as his godfather, has a white and smooth skin and is very young. He forced a majestic expression and nodded without saying a word. After a while, Haitao spoke: "The crown princess is virtuous and virtuous, and she is very good to the slaves and maids, you just voted over, but as long as you remember the word 'loyalty', everything else is easy to say." ”

Brother Meng hurriedly bent down and nodded: "Thank you Professor Godfather for mentioning it, thank you Godfather!" ”

At this moment, the celebrant and eunuch Gou'er said: "You rebels, kill people and kill people, are you worthy of the emperor?" ”

Brother Meng said coldly: "We have always been loyal to the emperor and serve with our hearts!" Dog, it's hard to say whether you are worthy of the emperor, but you are definitely sorry for the prince! The palace maid that the prince likes, did you hang herself to death? ”

The dog said: "Our family is just the meaning of the emperor!" ”

"Oh......" Brother Meng said suddenly, "Now we are just serving the prince's will!" ”

Haitao said: "Don't talk nonsense, get rid of it all!" ”

Several eunuchs pulled out their knives, but Tan Qing stopped them, "These people are mine tonight, I love to kill, and I feel comfortable when I kill." ”

The eunuchs and palace maids who were tied up immediately cried, and one of the palace maids cried: "The slave maid doesn't know anything, the slave doesn't see anything, I beg you, spare me, I'm only sixteen years old, I don't want to die......"

Tan Qingdao: "You want to die, it's not interesting for me to kill." ”

The dog scolded, "You lawless thieves! If you turn black and white upside down, you will be damned! ”

Haitao said impatiently: "Dare you still want to go through the three judicial trials?" ”

…… As soon as it was dawn the next day, the officials of the government offices got the news that the saint had died in the Qianqing Palace. The Empress Yi decreed that all the officials and nobles of the five temples and six prefectures in Beijing should be summoned to the Qianqing Palace, and the civil and military officials above the third rank were allowed to enter the Qianqing Palace.

Everywhere in the palace is arranging things for the national funeral.

The eunuch told the ministers: "The emperor was violently ill and fell unconscious without an edict. Died last night and mourned this morning. ”

Yang Rong picked up a few pieces of paper and read them, to the effect that he told the story of the emperor before and after his death.

A few days ago, Ji Gang, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, paid tribute to the red pill without either Guanglu Temple or the Tai Hospital. Ji Gang is skillful in words, often slandering, in order to invite merit, saying that the red pill is a panacea for longevity and longevity, and the emperor mistakenly believed Ji Gang's words for a while, and took the red pill.

The emperor felt that the dragon was unwell the night before yesterday, and the crown prince led the ministers of the Wenhua Palace to greet him. The emperor also summoned the secretary of the criminal department, the secretary of the household department, Guo Zi, the political envoy of Beiping, Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, and Yuan Hui, the young secretary of Taichang Temple, and other close ministers of the old mansion. The emperor and the ministers talked about this matter, and the ministers urgently summoned the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital for treatment. The imperial physician called it "no disease".

Late that night, the emperor couldn't sleep, went to Kunning Palace to talk to the queen, and fell ill after returning to the Qianqing Palace yesterday morning.

When the king of Han led the army of Annan into Beijing, he led more than 100 elite soldiers to stop outside Dong'an Gate. When the king of Han entered the palace to face the saint, the prince and the ministers also served on the side of the emperor's couch. The king of Han knelt down and said: It is a great contribution to the society, and there is also a great contribution to the destruction of the country, please reward your father.

The emperor asked the king of Han what he wanted. King Han said: The eldest brother is weak and benevolent, I am afraid that he will not be able to impeach, and the sons and daughters are both civil and military, please change the crown prince.

The emperor was furious and rebuked the king of Han: The eldest brother is the eldest son, and the eldest son has no fault, how can he be re-established?

The king of Han also said: Erchen loves nuns the most, and he heard that his father and emperor got a beautiful Taoist priest, hidden in the palace, please reward.

The Emperor was even angrier. He was a female Taoist, after being loyal to the martyr Jinggong, worshiped Zhang Sanfeng as a teacher and became a monk, and lived in the palace to pray for the queen. The queen treated her kindly, and once became a sister, and gave her the name Miaojin. If the identity is not in accordance with the etiquette law, how can it be given to the king of Han?

The emperor was unwell, so he ordered the prince to write an edict to use treasures, temporarily supervise the country, and try to control his brothers.

The king of Han retreated in a huff and went to the outside of the Fengxian Palace. The eunuchs and servants in the palace were mostly friendly with the king of Han, thinking that they would have a long-term plan for the future. A eunuch informed the King of Han that the female Tao was hidden in the concept of blessing.

The king of Han was overjoyed, went to the blessing temple, injured several people in the palace, and robbed the women.

The prince and the king of Han can't be theoretical, the king of Han is brave and unstoppable. The prince was helpless, so he summoned Tan Qing, the left guard of Jinwu, to bring the guards into the palace and catch the king of Han to admit his mistake in front of the emperor.

King Han rushed to run. There were people in the palace who colluded with the king of Han, and they had already informed the palace of the secret passage, so the king of Han left the palace from the secret passage, led his troops to wound many guards at the gate of the Beijing camp, and walked away.

The prince immediately closed the palace gate, while informing the Han king of the place of prayer and the place of the secret passage, and on the other hand, he and the ministers served before the collapse, and personally entered the soup to comfort the emperor to recuperate.

Last night, the emperor's illness suddenly worsened, and the imperial doctor hurriedly used medicine, and the emperor collapsed. The imperial doctors were afraid of the crime and hanged themselves.

…… Yang Rong's story is finished, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but the queen and nearly ten ministers appear in the story and can testify.

The ministers kneeling inside and outside the Qianqing Palace listened with relish, whether this thing was true or not, but the process was more exciting than the drama.

Some people still pondered in their hearts: I have long heard that King Han is lustful and likes nuns. Unexpectedly, even the female Taoist priest was to his taste.

At this moment, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi's voice choked up: "I have no talent, I can't save my father, and I can't appease my brother." Please welcome the king of Han into Beijing and inherit the throne. ”

The ministers were in an uproar and dissuaded the prince one after another. Immediately, someone shouted, persuading the prince to go further and ascend the throne as emperor.

The prince cried again: "Gao Xu has contributed to the country, and I have no merit and cannot accept this great responsibility." ”

Guo Zi said loudly: "The crown prince is the eldest son of Emperor Daxing, the crown prince who was personally ordained, he has always been generous and benevolent, and now he is not at fault, how can he be abolished lightly?" ”

Jin Zhongdao: "Back then, the prince guarded Beiping and resisted the army of 600,000 led by the traitorous ministers. ”

At this moment, Xie Jin said: "The prince is at fault, and yesterday's incident was mishandled, but ......"

"Xie Jin!" Yuan Hui called him by his name and said, "Then you go to Yunnan and welcome the King of Han back to succeed to the throne!" ”

Someone immediately scolded: "Xie Jin's collusion with the vassal king is the Han king's party, and his intentions are ill!" ”

In front of the Qianqing Palace, the crowd was suddenly excited, and looked at Xie Jin angrily, because in Yang Rong's story, the King of Han came back to "suppress" the ministers. Xie Jin's face twitched, "Xiaguan just told the truth, Xiaguan is really not a henchman of the Han King......"

The officials continued to persuade him, but the prince refused, and after crying, he fainted, and the attendants rescued him and left the Qianqing Palace.
