Chapter 211: The Prince (Sixth Shift)
Under normal circumstances, the emperor is seriously ill, and for the sake of safety, the emperor will make some adjustments to the garrison of the capital to avoid any accidents.
Although Ye Xun is not a doctor, he feels that Wanli doesn't look like he's going to hang up, so it seems a little early to arrange these now, right?
Just when Ye Xun sent someone to Luoyang secretly, there was also a decree in the palace that the garrisons in various places were not allowed to be transferred without authorization, and the vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom on the pretext of visiting the sick, otherwise he would be punished for rebellion.
This will is obviously a bit of a cover-up meaning, other vassal kings can't leave the fiefdom, but their third son can leave secretly, what kind of will is this called?
Another decree was to order the British Commander to supervise the three major Beijing battalions of the Fifth Army, the Three Thousand Army, and the Shenji, and each army should cancel its vacation and be on strict alert, but he did not say anything about the guard.
The last decree was to order the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Wu Jian Wei to change their defenses and take over the defense of the Imperial Palace.
Hearing these three wills, Ye Xun was also a little confused, Wanli is clearly preparing for the future! As for it?
Ye Xun knew that he had to stay in the palace at this time, in case Wanli really had three longs and two shorts, he had to stand with Zhu Changluo, this was planning for the future.
ordered Hu Jiucheng, Xiang Biao, Liang Zhongxi and others to strictly restrain their subordinates, and went home to make arrangements again, and then hurried to the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, Ye Xun was stopped by an old eunuch.
Looking at the clothes of this eunuch, he should also be a chief eunuch, but Ye Xun didn't know him.
"Grandpa Ye, right? Miscellaneous Wang An"
Hearing this name, Ye Xun immediately understood that it must be Zhu Changluo who wanted to see him, because Wang An was the leader of the Imperial Palace.
nodded, looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "Where is the prince?" ”
Seeing that Ye Xun understood, Wang An's eyes showed a hint of relief, and he also said in a low voice: "Please ask Grandpa Ye to come with the miscellaneous family."
The guards of the palace have all been replaced by soldiers of the Imperial Horse Guard, which is why Ye Xun dared to talk to Wang An, otherwise it was very likely to be spread by someone with a heart.
Under the guidance of Wang An, the two went around and around, and soon came to a side hall not far from the Qianqing Palace.
After making a gesture of invitation to Ye Xun, Wang An stood outside the door and vigilantly observed the surroundings, in extraordinary times, if Wanli knew that the prince had a secret meeting with Ye Xun, Ye Xun's affairs would be small, and the prince would probably suffer.
Ye Xun did not hesitate, pushed the door and walked in, and then closed the door of the palace with his backhand.
"But Grandpa Ye?"
The light in the hall was very dim, and Zhu Changluo's voice came from the darkness, which showed that he was not only nervous, but also very scared.
Ye Xun had already seen Zhu Changluo's figure, and knelt down without hesitation, and shouted: "The slave knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince."
Ye Xun's attitude was enough to explain everything, Zhu Changluo hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Xun with his own hands, and said happily: "I have heard the name of Ye Gonggong for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really better to meet if it is famous!" ”
Of course, Ye Xun would not be fooled by Zhu Changluo's words, as far as he knew, although Zhu Changluo had only been the emperor for more than 20 days, he had done something beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and such a person must not be destroyed in the hands of Zheng Guifei.
He bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at ease, no one can replace the prince's position in the hearts of the minions, and in extraordinary times, the prince should stay by His Majesty's side."
Zhu Changluo was moved in his heart, patted Ye Xun's shoulder, and said, "You are very good, there will be a reward for coming alone."
"The prince is the prince of the country, and his name is justified, during this period, the slave may do something involuntarily, but please rest assured that the prince can not shake the prince's position as long as there are slaves"
Ye Xun is giving Zhu Changluo a preventive shot first, there is no impermeable wall in the world, in case someone shakes out the fact that he secretly took Zhu Changxun into Beijing, he will have a room for maneuver.
Zhu Changluo was so happy at the moment that he didn't think about it at all, and all he wanted was Ye Xun's attitude, now that the goal has been achieved, will he care too much about other things?
patted Ye Xun on the shoulder and said, "Your words, Lone remembers, Lone leaves first, and you come back later."
Ye Xun nodded, went over to open the door and signaled to Prince Wang An to leave, and then knelt down to Zhu Changluo again to salute him and send him away.
Zhu Changluo did not hesitate and left quickly accompanied by Wang An.
As the door of the hall closed, the hall fell into darkness again, and Ye Xun stood in the shadows and pondered.
If Wanli dies and Zhu Changluo successfully ascends the throne, there is no doubt about it, just now Ye Xun still wanted to protect Zhu Changluo and prevent him from being harmed by Concubine Zheng, but after calming down, Ye Xun remembered another thing.
After Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he filled the vacancies of officials in various ministries and localities, and abolished many taxes, which can be said to have made a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, but there is also a problem, that is, the officials he promoted are almost all Donglin Party.
What kind of goods is the Donglin Party, I won't say much here, anyway, in Ye Xun's heart, it is definitely not as good as Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party.
Ye Xun pushed Wei Zhongxian out in advance, the purpose was to let him scourge the Ming officials, and then he would clean up Wei Zhongxian.
But if Zhu Changluo keeps alive and kicking, Wei Zhongxian will definitely not be able to get ahead, so how can Ye Xun achieve his goal?
It's really embarrassing! Let's take it one step at a time!
Ye Xun in the shadows shook his head with a wry smile, then pushed the door and walked out.
As soon as he arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, he saw Wei Zhongxian walking out of it quickly, and after seeing Ye Xun, he couldn't help but be happy: "Gonggong Ye came just in time, Your Majesty is about to order me to find you!" Come in with me."
Ye Xun nodded and said softly, "How is Your Majesty?" ”
"It's okay, I'm already able to sit up"
Wei Zhongxian's voice is also very low, he has already entered the main hall, and his voice is too high to attract the attention of others, and he is the one who doesn't want Wanli to have an accident the most, because he hasn't gotten any benefits from Wanli yet.
Ye Xun nodded, he felt that Wanli didn't hang up so quickly!
When I came to Wanli's dormitory, I saw Concubine Zheng Guifei wearing a colorful silk scarf wrapped around her head, sitting next to the couch holding Wanli's hand and crying softly.
This is also a person who doesn't want Wanli to die, if Wanli dies, although the most unlucky person is not necessarily her, but her life will never be easy.
Seeing Ye Xun coming in, Concubine Zheng wiped away her tears and wanted to stand up and leave, but was gently pulled by Wanli.
After Ye Xun knelt down and saluted, he then stood up and nodded slightly to Wanli, meaning that I have completed the task you gave me.
In fact, Ye Xun didn't know that before him, Wanli had already secretly instructed Concubine Zheng Guifei to send someone to pick up Zhu Changxun, and the reason why he ordered Ye Xun again was just another test for Ye Xun.
This is the art of the emperor, and Ye Xun is incomprehensible.
Feeling the meaning in Ye Xun's eyes, Wanli nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered to Zheng Guifei beside him: "You and Xiao Yezi stay, and everyone else retreats."
If you want to say that in the entire Ming Dynasty, the person that Zheng Guifei looks down on the most is Ye Xun, who has always hated and can't get rid of it, but she doesn't understand why her husband left her and Ye Xun alone?
frowned slightly, but still waved his hand to drive out the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side...
