When Zhu Youzhu saw the ministers, he was excited and coughed violently. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Jian, as the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the ministers, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go to the Wenyuan Pavilion to rest first, Your Majesty should rest in peace!" ”

At this time, all the ministers present, including Zhang Mao, Zhang Yanling, and Zhang Heling, the three military dignitaries, also understood that the emperor had finished explaining his deathbed and had nothing to worry about.

However, you must not leave the palace tonight, because you can mourn at any time!

Liu Jian, as the first assistant of the cabinet, stayed to check the situation for the time being, while Xie Qian accompanied Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao and others to the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Yu Qiao, what's going on? Why did His Majesty's health suddenly deteriorate? Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian, hoping to find the answer from Xie Qian, who arrived in advance.

Xie Qian sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I was also urgently summoned to come when I was making a ticket, if I want to know His Majesty's condition, I should check His Majesty's recent tonic and recuperation decoction." ”

Emperor Hongzhi, who has been weak and weak since he was a child, has always had the habit of taking tonic medicine and taking pills, others may not know, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are very clear in their hearts that Zhu Youzhi's illness is related to the heavy metal pills he takes, but Zhu Youzhi himself does not understand, and thinks that it is a miracle medicine that can prolong life.

"When is this all right...... Immediately find out what kind of pill you are taking, if Your Majesty is sick tonight, then ......"

Li Dongyang was so quick that he almost said that the emperor had died, and when Zhu Youzhu was seriously ill, it was a serious violation of the prohibition to say such things.

Several people arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, and even Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia came over to talk about the emperor's serious illness, but the two brothers, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, were treated coldly, but they didn't mind very much at this time. In their hearts, perhaps they hope that the prince will ascend the throne earlier, when their sister is the queen mother, and the little nephew is much easier to deal with than the brother-in-law, but the first thing to deal with is the three ministers, so they are also exchanging glances.

Li Dongyang is the most anxious one among everyone, he has a strong sense of guilt, thinking that he has abandoned government affairs for his son's affairs in the past two years, but the emperor trusted him when he was dying, making him feel ashamed of the emperor.

Li Dongyang refused to sit down, and Xie Qian asked casually: "Binzhi's hidden illness, hasn't it improved?" ”

Many people looked at Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and they wanted to know what Li Dongyang's "hidden disease" was.

Li Dongyang glanced at Xie Qian, his eyes were slightly resentful, and finally nodded helplessly. He refused to sit, on the one hand, because he was anxious, and another reason was that his hemorrhoids had recurred, and he couldn't sit down.

I kept watch all night, and finally stayed up until dawn...... At times like these, no news is good news.

But Liu Jian didn't come to Wenyuan Pavilion until the sky was completely bright, Xiao Jing came over to summon a few people to come over to see the holy driver, Xie Qian specially went over to ask, Xiao Jing stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, Your Majesty's condition recurred a lot last night, but fortunately, it survived smoothly, and by the morning, it had improved greatly......

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Zhang Mao and others all breathed a long sigh of relief, and Chen Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly asked, "Then Your Majesty may take a decoction?" ”

In this era, for critically ill patients, it is a very dangerous sign that they cannot take decoction, they can't even eat liquid food, and there is no infusion as a means of survival, so it is only a matter of time before they die.

If you can take the decoction, it means that you can eat, and your body can support it for a period of time even if it is not good, and then go up a little more, that is, you can sit down and talk calmly, and finally you can walk around on the ground, which means that the patient is basically fine, and even has the possibility of recovery.

Xiao Jing still looked worried, and said: "Your Majesty can take the decoction and medicine, and use a small bowl of rice porridge in the morning, but the condition is still not good, you adults should not disturb Your Majesty's rest too much after you go in, these few days...... Be cautious. ”

The implication is that in the past few days, it is still necessary to prepare for the death of the emperor at any time and deal with the political crisis brought about by the new emperor's accession to the throne.

Xiao Jing is old and respectful among the many eunuchs in the palace, coupled with his loyalty to the royal family, and he is easy to talk to, so he is a person who can be completely trusted in the eyes of important ministers in the court.

Even Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian didn't dare to be rude to Xiao Jing, after all, when Zhu Youzhu thought he was going to die, Xiao Jing had already been promoted to the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal. After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, when Zhu Houzhao did not know much about political affairs, the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet drafted the votes, and Xiao Jing approved the red on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

This is equivalent to saying that the public ministers are Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, but the inner court's ministers are Xiao Jing, and another point is to let Xiao Jing lead the East Factory, which is a very important yamen.

At the beginning of the establishment of the East Factory in the early Ming Dynasty, the eunuch who held the seal of the master of ceremonies and led the East Factory was customized, but this would make the eunuch of the master of ceremonies have too much authority, so after that, the second and third leaders of the master of ceremonies were allowed to lead the East Factory, but when Zhu Youzhu passed on the throne, the most trusted eunuch who thought of him was Xiao Jing, so he would rather let Xiao Jing lead the two key yamen of the master of ceremonies and the East Factory at the same time.

At this time, Liu Jin was fined and transferred to the Siyuan Bureau, which was a small yamen in charge of the supply of fruits and vegetables in the palace, which seemed insignificant in the twenty-four prisons.

As for some famous eunuchs in the palace, such as Wang Yue, Gao Feng and others, they have all served in the palace for many years, and if you want to say that the upstart among the eunuchs in the palace is Zhang Yuan, one of the permanent servants of the East Palace, who replaced the previous permanent attendant Liu Jin.

As for the permanent attendant of the East Palace, it is not the name of the twenty-four supervisors, who is responsible for the daily entry and exit and service of the prince of the East Palace.

In the imperial palace in the past dynasties, each palace has set up the position of permanent attendant, mostly for the concubine or prince who serves the favor, just like Wang Zhi, the great eunuch of the West Factory during the time of Xianzong, is also a permanent attendant, as for the daily needs of the East Palace, it is not very servant to govern.

Therefore, even if Zhang Yuan has a low official position and rank in the palace, he is a person of Empress Zhang, and he is the personal entourage of the crown prince, and he is likely to enter the celebrant after the new emperor ascends the throne, and even take charge of the East Factory.

But if Emperor Hongzhi is in good health, then Zhang Yuan can only honestly be his regular attendant in the East Palace, and the eunuch in the palace, he can't even rank in the top twenty.

……

……

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Zhang Mao and others arrived in front of Kunning Palace, Liu Jian had been here for a night, the first assistant of the cabinet was old, and he was a lot haggard overnight, but when it came to the major events of the king's inheritance, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, for fear of becoming a sinner of the Ming Dynasty because of this.

Seeing all his colleagues coming, Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty just entered a bowl of ginseng soup, and now you have slept peacefully, and the situation is gradually improving, so it is really not appropriate to disturb...... You go back to rest first, and then go into the palace to talk after Your Majesty wakes up. ”

Zhu Youzhu was resting, and others didn't dare to disturb him casually.

The emperor has explained the things that should be explained clearly, even if he dies, the court will not be chaotic, so now he can only pray that the emperor can stay and walk as soon as possible, as for the recovery of the disease, I dare not think about it, at least I can postpone the succession for a while, so that the prince is older, and the stubborn heart can be restrained.

Everyone didn't even have a chance to go in and face the saints, and they had to rush back to rest after waiting for a night. (To be continued.) )
