Chapter 972: A Desperate Shot
After a while, Zhu Houzhao walked in with a curious face, before he entered Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang had already explained to him: "No matter what your father says to you, you must respond honestly, and you must not have the slightest contradiction, let alone any disrespect to your father."

Zhu Houzhao thought that his father was okay and just asked him to come over and reprimand him, and when he entered the dormitory, he looked at the dragon couch in the dark by the candlelight, but he didn't know whether to walk over or not, after all, he was still angry with his father.
Zhu Youzhu said: "Prince, are you here?" ”
"It's a child." Zhu Houzhao bowed mechanically, then walked to the bed, looked inside, the candlelight was flickering, and he still couldn't see his father's appearance clearly.
Zhu Houzhao wondered in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, doesn't my father feel bored and panicked when he stays inside?" ”
Zhu Youzhu did not scold his son, but said earnestly: "In the future, you must carefully listen to the teachings of several gentlemen, do not appoint traitors and villains, do not violate the ancestral teachings, study diligently, and be a holy monarch." ”
Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, I want to be a virtuous emperor, but where do I have a chance?
The mouth slouched and agreed: "Got it, father." Do you want to call the queen mother in? ”
Zhu Youzhu didn't seem to hear his son's words, and continued: "Be diligent and self-denying, guard against arrogance and rashness, be diligent in self-cultivation, and don't indulge in pleasure......"
Zhu Houzhao was thinking again, where is this going on, when did I indulge in pleasure?
Wait, if you read martial arts novels, it's really a bit addictive, but the novels have been confiscated by you, where can I indulge in it?
Xiao Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you have an explanation?" ”
Zhu Houzhao blinked in confusion, what did he confess?
Xie Qian understood Xiao Jing's intentions, this was because Xiao Jing was afraid that the emperor would die if he said that he would die, so he had to hurry up and ask the content of the edict first.
It is undisputed that the throne passed to the crown prince, the question is just who should be the minister of care?
Now that Xie Qian is only by his side, he can't appoint Xie Qian alone to assist the prince, so where will Liu Jian, the first assistant, and Zhang Mao, the British prince who is in charge of the army, and Ma Wensheng, the veteran of the Four Dynasties, be placed?
According to Xiao Jing's idea, there should be at least six or seven ministers to prevent too much concentration of power.
As for the celebrant eunuch, it is currently him and Wang Yue, the eunuch of the palm seal, according to his identity, Wang Yue's status is above him, but recently the emperor believes in him more.
As for the crown prince after he ascends the throne, he may transfer Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yong, Gao Feng and others to the East Palace, and he will be transferred to the ceremonial supervisor and master the East Factory.
In addition to the three cabinet scholars, there may also be Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, Zhang Mao and others, all of whom are famous ministers of the DPRK and China.
If Emperor Hongzhi really has no intention of leaving an edict, he can summon all the ministers and announce the matter of entrusting the orphan in front of the ministers, and the effect is roughly the same, but there may be a situation where there is no basis for the words.
Xiao Jing, as the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, is the oldest among the eunuchs, and he very much hopes to let Zhu Youzhi leave a testament when he is dying, but when Xiao Jing asks this question, Zhu Youji's wheezing voice is extremely thick, and his throat gurgles, as if he has reached the point where he has no power to return to the sky, he has the heart but is powerless.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
Xiao Jing asked two sentences, and seeing that Zhu Youzhu didn't even have the strength to cough, he hurriedly called out loudly, "Quickly send the imperial doctor, quickly send the imperial doctor to come and diagnose His Majesty!" ”
As the voice came out of Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang quickly entered the palace, her face was discolored, and she rushed to the bed with a shout of "Emperor" in her mouth, holding her husband's body and trying to help her husband straighten out his breath, but it didn't work.
Xie Qian was a little nervous at this time, stepped forward to take a look, and checked the emperor's pulse, Xie Qian asked himself to be a little involved in medical skills, but he couldn't judge the symptoms of the emperor's pulse, and the pulse was messy, but he still relied on experience and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty may have phlegm blocking his throat, maybe ......"
"Perhaps?" Empress Zhang said nervously.
Xie Qian said with a bitter face: "Maybe I have to find a way to dissolve phlegm for Your Majesty......"
He didn't dare to say that he should find someone to go up and suck out the thick phlegm blocked in his throat for Emperor Hongzhi, if the queen didn't do this kind of thing, then it could only be done by him or the eunuch, and this matter was raised by him, compared to him, he should have "experience" in this area, then he is the most suitable person.
Unexpectedly, Empress Zhang and Zhu Youzhi had a very strong relationship, and at this time they understood what was going on, so they hugged their husbands directly, leaned in front of Hongzhi's face, and inhaled mouth-to-mouth.
Xie Qian sighed faintly, Empress Zhang was able to do this step, which was enough to witness that she was sincere to Emperor Hongzhi, and now took Zhu Houzhao's hand and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please follow the old minister to the outside to speak."
"What the hell is wrong with my father? Queen Mother, what happened to my father? ”
Zhu Houzhao always curses his father in his heart on weekdays, and he also has bad intentions towards his mother and the child in his mother's womb, but that is just a moment of anger for the bear child, and when he really encounters his father who is terminally ill and may die at any time, he can't help but get nervous.
Zhu Houzhao thought to himself: "What's the matter? Isn't it good-ended? My father's health is not good, but he won't die? If my father dies, then I will be the emperor, but I will not be the emperor...... With so many ministers and so many people in the palace, how can I manage it? No, you can't have an accident, father! ”
Just when the bear child was sweating profusely in a hurry, the imperial doctor hurried to help Empress Zhang rescue Emperor Hongzhi.
Xie Qian pulled Zhu Houzhao to the outside of the hall, it was busy inside, in Xie Qian's opinion, the emperor could die at any time, after all, the bloody phlegm had blocked the trachea, and now it was extremely difficult to breathe, even if it could relieve the phlegm for a while, no one could guarantee that he would be able to stare at it all the time in the future.
"Woooooooooo......oo What happened to my father? Mr. Xie, what do you say? Zhu Houzhao was already crying at this time, completely messed up.
In fact, Xie Qian's situation at this time is not much better than that of Xiong Zi, Xie Qian is also extremely anxious, why haven't Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others come yet?
At such a critical moment, he is the only minister, if something really happens to the emperor, how should he deal with the aftermath?
Thinking about it carefully, Xie Qian was not so worried.
The emperor may die at any time, but the emperor's side is good, the prince is close to adulthood, not in infancy, and the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne is not without precedent, Yingzong ascended the throne at the age of nine, at that time, there was the empress dowager Zhang in charge of the government, Sanyang auxiliary government, Yingzong is like a puppet, and then Yingzong favored the traitorous eunuch Wang Zhen, which eventually caused the change of the civil fort, but the final result of that period of twists and turns was good, and the throne ended in returning to orthodoxy.
But Xie Qian is always beating the drum in his heart, will history repeat itself?
After the death of the emperor, Empress Zhang and the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch of the Celebrant Zhangyin, the eunuch Xiao Jing of Bingbi, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, should cooperate with the outside to control the government, and then empty the power of the cabinet scholars and directly issue orders to the six ministries?
Based on Xie Qian's understanding of the officials of the six departments, although Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia were relatively strong among the six books, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the ministers of the court and the central government were more inclined to compromise and obey.
The Zhang brothers have been doing evil in the court for many years, and those upright ministers have turned a blind eye, and even he Xie Qian has adopted a tacit and tolerant attitude towards this, where do they dare to ask those Confucian ministers who know more about the golden mean to fight?
