"Your Majesty!"

For a while, when Zhu Houzhao was in a trance, he saw three officials wearing royal python robes and jade belts, and wearing Liang Guan, kneeling on the ground with a bang, and crawling in like a wolf.

The one in the front of them has a narrow and short face, old eyebrows as sharp as knives, and deep eye sockets.

An old mouth that seemed to have eaten the world was shaking non-stop, and the cry shook Zhu Houzhao's ears deafeningly, but the ground was dry, and not half a teardrop was seen.

Zhu Houzhao recognized that this person was the first assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, a scholar of Huagai Temple!

The next one had a long yellow face, and a pair of triangular eyes seemed to have a sneer, but the tight old mouth was twitching, and his head was pounding on the ground, and he roared dryly: "Your Majesty! How did you go! Whining! ”

Zhu Houzhao knew that this person must be Li Dongyang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion!

Then, the person who followed behind only covered his face with his sleeve and cried, but a pair of eagle-like old eyes seemed to keep looking at Emperor Hongzhi's coffin, as if he was afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would wake up.

Rao is this person hid his face, and Zhu Houzhao could also guess that this person should be Xie Qian, a scholar from Dongge University!

Because there were only three elders in the Hongzhi period, the civil officials of the current world praised Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, and Xie Gongyou Kankan, which means that these three important ministers supported the Ming Dynasty and made great contributions to Hongzhi Zhongxing.

But Zhu Houzhao now has to wonder why these three pavilion elders are crying so badly?

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "Is it my dead father, or your dead father?" ”

However, at this time, Xie Qian suddenly looked at Zhu Houzhao while crying, Zhu Houzhao also saw his gaze, and couldn't help but say: "Can't let him find out that I am crossing, since the three of them who didn't die their father are crying so badly, I, the crown prince who is really dead now, can't help crying!" ”

So, Zhu Houzhao also howled and cried in Queen Zhang's arms: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" ”

"Emperor!"

Empress Zhang also cried, but Zhu Houzhao found that his mother had been clenching her fists before, and generally clenching her fists was extremely insecure from a psychological point of view, and he couldn't help but think that if the emperor died, she would also become the queen mother, what made her sad and insecure?

At that time, an old eunuch who was also wearing a python robe and had a face like Fu Fan but had no beard got up and walked in front of Liu Jian and the other three cabinet scholars, and first helped up the three cabinet elders: "The three pavilion elders must not be overly sad, the emperor of Daxing has already issued an edict, saying that the prince is fifteen years old, so happy, and he should be an auxiliary teacher, and now the world has to rely on the pavilion elders to support it!" ”

Zhu Houzhao recognized this eunuch as Zhang Yu, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang, and he was also the second person in the inner court, second only to the eunuch Wang Yue, who was the eunuch of the inner court, but what made him wonder was why this Zhang Yu didn't come to help himself, the prince and queen Zhang, first, but first went to help the old Sange.

Now in the world, are these three pavilion elders the biggest, or is he the crown prince the biggest? Even if you don't help yourself, you have to help your mother first, after all, filial piety is great, but what the hell is it to help Sange first?

When did the status of the civil official group become so big that the No. 2 person in the ceremonial supervisor had to kneel and lick it?

At this time, other civil and military officials also appeared one after another, and Liu Jian and other cabinet elders also began to receive orders.

"The ministers and other leaders, the minister Liu Jian (Li Dongyang/Xie Qian) will live up to the trust of the Daxing Emperor, do his best to assist the new monarch, and abide by the government of the Daxing Emperor, so as to settle thousands of Li Shu!"

Zhu Houzhao understood the meaning of these three elders, anyway, he will definitely not forget the emperor's boss's entrustment, will assist your son, and will follow the system when you were the emperor will not be easily reformed, and the implication is that if he wants to reform when he becomes the emperor, they will definitely stop him on the grounds of following the edict.

What a scheming!

At this time, Zhang Yu, the master of ceremonies, came over to help Empress Zhang and Zhu Houzhao: "The queen mother and Her Royal Highness must not be too sad, you should be careful of the phoenix and dragon bodies." ”

Zhu Houzhao was quite unhappy in his heart, and thought in his heart that Zhang Yu, the eunuch of the East Factory, didn't know whether it was because of his low political intelligence or deliberately, so he first helped the cabinet ministers not to mention that now that Emperor Hongzhi has died, he can be regarded as the new emperor, and Empress Zhang will naturally be the new queen mother, but this Zhang Yu is good, and he still calls him "His Royal Highness" and "Queen Mother".

Zhu Houzhao felt more and more that Zhang Yu, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the commander of Dongchang, was in collusion with the civil officials, and it was really very likely that Emperor Hongzhi was killed by them.

But Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at the full hall of civil and military ministers, but none of them were willing to stand up and question the death of Emperor Hongzhi.

Zhu Houzhao is cold in his heart, as far as he knows, Emperor Hongzhi treats civil officials very leniently, Li Mengyang chased and beat his brother-in-law in the court and didn't do anything to the civil officials, and now none of these civil officials miss the old feelings and question the death of Emperor Hongzhi?

Can people really be cruel and ruthless to such an extent?

"Grandpa Zhang!"

Just when Zhu Houzhao was quite puzzled, a minister with thick eyebrows and white hair walked out, and suddenly called out to Zhang Yu, the master of ceremonies.

Zhu Houzhao noticed that this person was Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry!

Zhang Yu, the master of ceremonies, also turned around: "I don't know what Otsuka Zai has to teach?" ”

"The old man was summoned by His Majesty a few days ago, and His Majesty was in good health at that time, but he only felt a slight illness, and for some reason he suddenly fell ill and died? Dare to ask who is the imperial doctor who is the imperial doctor who consulted His Majesty today, and the medicine prescribed is still there? ”

Ma Wensheng raised his own questions.

Zhu Houzhao was quite moved in his heart, thinking that this Ma Wensheng was the elder of the Four Dynasties, and he had the grace of Emperor Hongzhi, and he actually thought of Jun En, and knew that he dared to raise doubts at this time.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao could also guess that if Emperor Hongzhi was framed, Ma Wensheng would definitely not have participated in the murder of Emperor Hongzhi.

"What do you mean by Otsuka Zai, do you mean that Your Majesty is still killed, Gonggong Zhang is the master of ceremonies and the commander of Dongchang, do you think he will frame Your Majesty?"

At this time, Xie Qian came out and questioned Ma Wensheng.

At the same time, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also stood up: "Otsuka Zai is old and faint, His Majesty has never listened to the doctor's advice, and only uses the Taoist secret red pill as medicine, so it has fallen to today's result, and we have persuaded it many times, but it is still the case, do you still want to set off a big case!" Now that the Emperor Daxing has just died, and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, what do you want to do! ”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to laugh very much in his heart, this Liu Daxia was praised as a famous minister in later generations, why did he start to reverse black and white at this moment, and even Emperor Hongzhi casually blackened in order to cover up any facts, and even said that Emperor Hongzhi did not listen to the doctor's advice and it was caused by taking pills.

Everyone knows that as soon as Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he expelled the Taoist priests and the like in the Chenghua period, but now this Liu Daxia poured dirty water on Emperor Hongzhi at will, is it really a dead man who can't speak.

Because of the support of the cabinet minister Xie Qian and the secretary of the military department, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Yu, the director of ceremonies, did not panic, and directly knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao and Queen Zhang and cried: "Queen Mother, Your Highness, the old slave is wronged!" The old slave offended Otsuka Zai somewhere, and was framed by Otsuka Zai like this, in order to prove the old slave's innocence, the old slave was willing to be buried with him! Whining! ”

"Alright! Brother Negative Figure (Ma Wensheng), now is a very moment, don't make extraneous branches! ”

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, spoke.

At the same time, Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet, nodded and said: "The first assistant said very much, at present, the emperor of Daxing has just died, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the world cannot be without a monarch for a day. ”

The first assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet have set the tone, and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, has no choice but to flick his sleeves: "The cause of Your Majesty's death, can't you even check it, are you still a loyal minister of Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet, did not pay attention to Ma Wensheng, Xie Qian smiled even more contemptuously, and Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, even snorted coldly.

The current Zhu Houzhao can naturally see that the inner court master and the cabinet of the outer court must be in collusion, and Ma Wensheng and others are obviously not in the same party as them, but in general, he and his mother Zhang can be regarded as orphans and widows, and they can't shake people at the moment, so they can only cry! Only by crying can we arouse the sympathy of a group of ministers, and only then can we successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor.

"When we become emperors, let's fight again!"

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself.
