Chapter 496: Thunderbolt on a Sunny Day (Part II)

The temple that should have been solemn and solemn was in chaos at this time.

I saw that several little eunuchs were helping Hu Hu, who had fallen into a coma, to the side, patting his back and stroking his chest, and even pinching people, but the old man still had his eyes closed, his body stiffened, and there was no sign of waking up.

And Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants sitting behind the table in front of him, also sat there in a daze, and only two sentences remained in his mouth: "How can this be?" But what should I do? ”

It wasn't until Yu Qian called him seven or eight times that the young vassal king came back from his panic slightly, but his eyes were still full of confusion and a hint of expectation when he looked at Yu Qian: "Yu Shilang, what you said is ...... True or fake? Looking at his appearance, he seems to hope that the other party can follow his will, everything is a joke.

However, Yu Qian was going to disappoint him this time. I saw that after being silent for a while, he looked directly into Zhu Qiyu's eyes, and said without the slightest ambiguity: "How dare the minister talk nonsense about such a big matter." All of this is a fact that has happened! ”

Just now, in front of Zhu Qiyu and Hu Hu, Yu Qian had completely defeated the Northern Expeditionary Army, countless officials and soldiers were killed by the enemy, and the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven had still not been found. And after hearing this, Hu Hu was hit by a blow, and he suddenly couldn't catch it in one breath and fainted. Although the younger King Yu did not faint, he was completely stunned......

Fortunately, Yu Qian's reaction was quite quick at that time, seeing that the old man was suddenly about to fall, he quickly jumped over with an arrow, grabbed him, and then shouted to let the inner servants outside come in to take care of him, which did not cause a bigger disaster. It's just Zhu Qiyu's heart disease, but he can't do anything about it.

After listening to Yu Qian reconfirm the credibility of this news, Zhu Qiyu's face turned blue with fright, and then he said those two sentences: "How can this be? But what should I do? ”

"Your Highness, the incident happened suddenly, it is a matter of life and death for my Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Your Highness will calm down quickly and preside over the overall situation of the DPRK and China." Yu Qian immediately stepped forward and reminded loudly.

"No...... Not bad! Fortunately, the experience during this period of time has made Zhu Qiyu make a little progress in court affairs, and his heart is much more stable than before, so after a period of panic, he can still reluctantly settle down. But it was a little difficult for him to say what to do, so at this time, he could only look at Yu Qian again after agreeing: "Yu Shilang, how do you say to deal with this matter?" ”

Yu Qian subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Hu Hu on the side. Originally, whether it was identity or talent, there was such a big change, and it was Hu Hu, the veteran of the Four Dynasties, who really came forward to make the decision. But the old man's situation is obviously unable to bear such a heavy responsibility, and he has not woken up yet.

During this period of time, Hu Hui's responsibility is too great. In the case that many officials in the cabinet and the six ministries followed the Son of Heaven on the Northern Expedition, and Zhu Qiyu was a novice in handling government affairs, almost eighty percent of the political affairs were pressed on the thin shoulders of the old man.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, he was already a little unable to support it because of the recurrence of his old disease. It was only because he knew that he was indispensable in the imperial court now and that he could not fall, so he kept gritting his teeth and insisting.

But I didn't expect that such a busy person tried his best, but what he waited for was such an unacceptable result. Under such a strong blow, the old man could no longer withstand the stimulation and fell unconscious. And judging from his body, it may be difficult to wake up from this sudden fall in a short period of time.

After making this judgment, Yu Qian took a breath and knew that it was time for him to stand up and do something for the imperial court. Therefore, after facing Zhu Qiyu's inquiry, he only hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, the top priority is to calm the situation in the capital first. After truthfully explaining the matter to the ministers, let them abide by their duties and not let the people panic. There is absolutely no chaos in the city of Beijing. ”

"You're right, just do what you want." Zhu Qiyu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"In addition, you must order the soldiers on the border to find the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven. Although our army was defeated, we had hundreds of thousands of elites, and even if we were defeated, it would be possible to escape back to the town with His Majesty. As long as the Son of Heaven is safe, even if we encounter a major setback, it will not shake the foundation of my Ming Dynasty. Yu Qian continued.

"Yes, Brother Huang, he will be fine. I will instruct the border army to quickly send people everywhere to find his whereabouts, and we must bring the imperial brother back safely!" Zhu Qiyu said with some excitement.

"However, there are few places where the border armies can be mobilized, and we must beware that the Mongols will take advantage of this victory to launch an attack on our border town." Yu Qian reminded again.

After Zhu Qiyu nodded again in agreement, Yu Qiancai's face changed and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, although there is a sentence that the minister knows that he should not say, but the stakes are very high, and he still needs to mention it." ”

Zhu Qiyu's face suddenly froze, and his expression became even more nervous, obviously he also thought of what the other party was going to say. But now, there are some things that cannot be escaped, so after a little hesitation, he said dryly: "It's okay to talk about Yu Shilang." ”

"What if...... If Your Majesty really has something in case......" Yu Qian was planning his words, and he also found that his voice became dry: "We must also be prepared for emergencies. The most important thing is to strictly order the border pass city must not be opened because the Son of Heaven fell into the hands of the Mengren! After saying these words, his forehead was covered with sweat, and these words made him feel more stressed than anything else.

Zhu Qiyu's face also changed several times, and he didn't know whether to respond to his suggestion for a while. Although they all know that this is the most correct thing to do, only in this way can they ensure the safety of the big tomorrow. However, this will definitely attract the opposition and criticism of countless people, and the infamy they will have to bear will be great.

At this moment, there was a heart-rending cough on the side, and the two subconsciously turned their heads, but they saw that after the eunuchs' first aid, Hu Hu finally woke up. But as soon as he woke up, he coughed and even brought out a large mouthful of blood. The old man's face had turned pale, and there was hardly any blood to be seen.

But even so, Hu Hu still struggled to get up, and only after a while did he say in a faint and trembling voice: "Your Highness...... Yu Shilang's words are an old plan, so he ...... Let's just say that all this was suggested by the old minister......" After saying these words, his body weakened, and he fell into a coma again.

This made the venue busy again, and finally Zhu Qiyu could only accept this statement temporarily, and then ordered someone to send Hu Hu out of the palace urgently, so that the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital could quickly rescue and rectify, and at the same time, let people ring the bells and drums in the palace, so that the officials who stayed in the capital rushed to the court to discuss.

When Hu Hu was carried out of the palace, the bells and drums in the palace, which had not been moved for a long time, rang loudly, which immediately alarmed the officials and people all over the city. Those officials were even more confused, and they didn't know what was going on, and they actually made such a loud noise in the palace.

You must know that this palace has its own rules in the palace, and generally there are no bells and drums. This will only happen when something extremely serious, such as the death of the Son of Heaven, or the invasion of a strong enemy. So the movement of the bells and drums in unison really made everyone feel uneasy.

With uneasiness, hundreds of officials put down their work and quickly rushed to the palace. Then, with full of questions, he lined up in a neat line, went straight to the palace gate, and came to a side hall in the Fengtian Hall - Zhu Qiyu was only an auxiliary vassal king after all, but he didn't have the courage to summon the ministers in the Fengtian Hall where the Son of Heaven was in the court.

It's just that in this way, the side hall can't accommodate so many courtiers, and in the end, only civil and military officials above the fourth rank can enter the palace, and the others have to stay outside. And what surprised them even more was that in addition to Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, there was also a prince, although the two-year-old prince was held in the arms of a eunuch.

However, whether in the hall or outside the hall, everyone still heard this shocking news that made everyone feel like they had been struck by lightning, and all of a sudden, the temple of thousands of people inside and outside was silent.

Then, the cry suddenly rang out: "Your Majesty, ......"

The blow caused to them by this incident was too great, and in order to show their loyalty, the ministers were crying one by one at this time, and they were all in tears, which was really breathtaking.

Their crying immediately startled the young prince Zhu Jianshen, and after seeing him frown, he also cried bitterly. This immersed the entire side hall in a desperate and painful situation, and even Zhu Qiyu, who originally wanted to say something, didn't know what to do.

"Shut up, it's not time to cry!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and finally the crying was stopped, and everyone followed the reputation, but saw Yu Qianzheng, the squire of the military department, standing up with an iron face on his face, and his eyes swept over everyone fiercely.

Although in terms of identity, there were still many people in the audience who were higher than this soldier squire, but somehow, in the face of his powerful momentum, no one dared to speak out, and everyone calmed down.

Seeing that his voice did have some effect, Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Today, His Royal Highness summoned the ministers into the palace not to make you cry, but to hope that the ministers can work together at this critical moment to ensure that I will survive this difficult time!" ”

"Yes, although the royal brother has gone wrong in the front, this king believes that he will definitely return unharmed. And what we have to do now is not to let the world, especially Beijing City, cause any chaos before this, and I hope that you can do it for the imperial brother! Zhu Qiyu also reacted suddenly, and hurriedly spoke.

@@@@@

The number of words is enough, let's talk about the views of passers-by on Zhu Qizhen.

For this emperor who led to the prosperity and decline of the Ming Dynasty, passers-by looked down on him, even if later people praised his character, it was difficult to wash away all the big mistakes he made.

The defeat of Tumubao is only one of them, the appointment of Wang Zhen led to the opening of the precedent of the Ming eunuchs in power, and it was also the bane he laid for the decline and fall of the Ming Dynasty, so in the eyes of passers-by, his sins are not even less than Jiajing or Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen's brothers.

From the analysis of personality, this is not a suitable candidate for the emperor, he is easy to be impulsive, and his ears are soft, but he does not take responsibility when he really encounters difficulties, which is reflected in his willingness to cooperate with the Mongolian people to deceive and open the door after he became a prisoner, but fortunately, the Ming side will be bold and responsible enough, so that the situation did not make the situation worse because of his traitorous behavior.

As for the change in seizing the door later, as well as the murder of Yu Qian, not to mention.

Therefore, what passers-by want to say is that Zhu Qizhen is a thorough, failed emperor, and he is not worthy of sitting in this position at all!!!
