Chapter 823: The Change of Seizing the Door (5)
Although Zhu Qiyu's face was pale, the face of the person sitting not far away looked three points whiter than him, and the fear in his eyes was far greater than that of the emperor who was facing a rebellion and the Qianqing Palace was attacked by the rebellious army, and this person was the emperor who was imprisoned in the South Palace before and let Chen Xiang and others find Zhu Qizhen.
When he was stared at by Zhu Qiyu with such resentment, listening to the angry words that came out of his mouth, the whole body of this former great genius trembled like chaff, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't spit out a word.
When he was secretly escorted out of the South Palace, sent to the familiar Qianqing Palace, and saw his brother's cold face, he already knew that everything had been exposed, and he had nothing to say. At the same time, the ending is also doomed, no matter whether Cao Jixiang and those people outside can succeed in the chaos, his life has obviously come to an end.
If this rebellion is suppressed, he, as an accomplice of Cao Jixiang and others, will naturally inevitably die; Even if this rebellion really ended in the success of the rebel army, before the palace gate was broken, Zhu Qiyu would not let this conspirator usurper live...... Horizontally and vertically, he Zhu Qizhen has only one dead end!
After understanding this, Zhu Qizhen fell into deep fear, and he couldn't even show the slightest courage to resist, and he couldn't even say half a cruel word.
This is also due to his character. He has never been a ruthless person, and even a little weak and indecisive. Because of this, he was deceived by Wang Zhen back then, and finally ended up being taken away by the people. And the years of being a prisoner and a solitary confinement have completely worn out the last bit of arrogance in his heart, and all these years, his only requirement is to be able to live.
Only when he thinks of his son's safety will Zhu Qizhen muster up the last bit of courage and think about fighting again. As a result, as soon as the matter began, he had already fallen into the hands of Zhu Qiyu, which made him completely desperate.
The candle flame in the dormitory suddenly swayed with the shouting and killing sound outside, illuminating Zhu Qiyu's pale cheeks a little distorted, only to see that he was still staring at his brother, breathing heavily and disorderly: "Brother Emperor, I ask myself that I have tolerated you enough over the years, if you change any emperor, I am afraid that you would have died in this palace without a problem, right?" Even if you did something to bewitch Wei Guogong in Nanjing last year, I only punished you with a small punishment, and I didn't think about getting rid of you because of this. But what about you, even if you are not grateful, you have actually intensified, this time you have launched a rebellion again with these traitors in the palace, you are completely forcing me to kill my brother with my own hands! Don't you really have the slightest brotherhood with me? ”
"I ......" Zhu Qizhen wanted to tell the other party very much, since you took me back to the capital, beware everywhere, imprisoned me in Nangong, and took away the position of the crown prince that should belong to my son, there is no love between you and my brothers. But he couldn't say anything, because he didn't have the guts.
However, Zhu Qiyu didn't have to ask his brother to react, but just said to himself: "They all say that the heavenly family has no relatives, and I didn't believe it." But this time, I had to believe it. But don't worry, even so, I won't kill you now, I want you to see your plot completely shattered, let you die, and then use the law of the country to justify you, and your co-conspirators! When he said this, the emperor, who was originally a little sick, actually straightened up, his face flushed with excitement, and his eyes flashed with a strange light, and Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but lower his head.
It wasn't until the palace suddenly became quiet that the palace door was pushed open from outside, and a person asked with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the traitors outside the palace are attacking fiercely, and the minister thinks that it is time to bring the Emperor Taishang over to suppress their morale." ”
Hearing this person's report, the emperor's face softened slightly, and he immediately nodded: "I have just said that everything here today is up to you Lu Qing, including me, the emperor, who is also at your disposal." Man, you just have to take it with you, but make sure that he is safe, I will justify his punishment. ”
"The ministers will do their best to ensure the safety of the emperor." After speaking, as soon as he raised his head, he finally revealed his true face, and it was Lu Jin!
Because of his jealousy of Lu Jin, Shi Heng deliberately sent his nephew to take the elite of the two invasion of the Shenji Battalion to attack the Zhenfu Division; Because of his jealousy of Lu Jin, Cao Jixiang let his cronies control the palace gate early in the morning, and did not let anyone enter the palace. But as a result, when this rebellion occurred, Lu Zhen still appeared in the palace and stood by the emperor's side.
Not only that, but the Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who is now in the palace and has completely lost hope, was actually led by him to his subordinates, and took advantage of Cao Jixiang's attention when all the palace gate defense was secretly taken out of the South Palace and brought to the emperor.
And the reason why he was able to do these two things that were completely unexpected by the enemy naturally relied on his identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
As the spy agency with the most secret eyeliner in the Ming Dynasty today, Jinyiwei has long been buried in the palace. So when Cao Jixiang suddenly attacked, completely controlled the entire palace, and did not allow any foreign ministers to enter the palace gate, Lu Zhen still found a way to sneak in.
At that time, just as Cao Jixiang heard, Lu Jin, who came to the palace to invite him, was blocked back. However, then, he went around to a corner gate on the side where only the palace servants entered and exited, and with the cooperation of the two internal officials, he quickly changed into the eunuch uniform and sneaked into the palace with Qinggele and Yao Gan's two cronies.
Then, things are much easier. With the cover of this eunuch uniform, coupled with the fact that he was quite familiar with the path in the palace, while Cao Jixiang's people were still staring at the palace gate, he secretly came to the Qianqing Palace and met the emperor Zhu Qiyu, who was still sick.
When he saw Lu Jin, who was dressed like this, suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhu Qiyu was really surprised. And when he learned from Lu Jin's mouth that someone was going to launch a rebellion tonight and take away his throne, he was even more angry in his heart, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Although this matter sounds a little unbelievable, Zhu Qiyu still chooses to believe in his courtier. After all, no one dared to make up such a lie to deceive the emperor, not to mention that soon, the eunuch he sent to check on the situation outside also sent back some news with clues.
Faced with such a situation, the Son of Heaven was really a little panicked, and subconsciously looked at Lu Jin: "Lu Qing, how do you say I should deal with it?" ”
"Your Majesty, but rest assured, the minister has already made arrangements. Moreover, in this Qianqing Palace, they also have considerable self-preservation power, as long as they hold on for a period of time, their rebellion will definitely be collapsed. Lu Zhen hurriedly expressed his relief, and then said: "And the most important thing at the moment is to invite the Emperor Taishang here!" ”
“…… Emperor Taishang ......" The emperor was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon, he understood: "Do you mean that this matter has nothing to do with him?" ”
"Exactly." Lu Zhen immediately nodded: "From the current point of view, those traitors dare to make a sudden rebellion, just because they feel that they can take him as the name of righteousness." Therefore, the minister thought that he had to rush ahead of them and take the Emperor Taishang into his hands. ”
"Then leave everything to Lu Qing." After calming down and suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhu Qiyu nodded and responded to the matter.
Subsequently, when the sky was getting dark, Lu Zhen led people to quietly dispatch, touched the South Palace, knocked Zhu Qizhen, who was completely unprepared and had no power to resist, knocked out and brought him out, and finally sent it to the emperor.
And when the two brothers met again, Chen Xiang led someone to crash open the gate of Nangong Palace, but failed to find the target person.
Although the two brothers have been in the palace together for many years, they have not seen each other for many years. As a result, this goodbye has become a complete enemy of each other. Just when Zhu Qiyu didn't know how to speak—he inevitably felt a little guilty about his brother, after all, he took away his throne, and even gave his son the crown prince, and locked him up in Nangong for five or six years—suddenly there was a killing sound outside the palace.
When he heard the shouts of killing coming in, Zhu Qiyu, who was still guilty, broke out in an instant, and finally discarded all his worries and stated his determination to kill his brother!
Lu Jin, who was guarding outside the door, let out a long sigh of relief after hearing these words. In fact, over the years, he has not been able to understand Zhu Qiyu's practice of imprisoning his brother in the palace, isn't this a time bomb planted by his side?
The battle for the throne has always been cold-blooded and cruel, without the slightest family color. In history, for the sake of this supreme throne, how many fathers, sons and brothers killed each other, and none of them were soft. Why did you get here today, but you have become so gentle?
It's just that this matter involves the royal family after all, and he is not a foreign minister to say much, so he endured it.
Now, today's rebellion has finally completely revealed the previous hidden dangers, which is not necessarily a bad thing in Lu Jin's view. As long as the emperor takes this opportunity to kill Zhu Qizhen justifiably, there will be no more troubles in the Ming Dynasty, and those in the court and the opposition who still have certain ideas will be able to stop dying of their hearts.
In fact, this is also the reason why Lu Zhen did not expose their conspiracy earlier when he knew that there would be people in the palace and outside the palace who would rebel in the near future. Although this will become extremely dangerous, it is the so-called death and resurrection, only in this way can the biggest hidden danger in the court be eliminated once and for all.
Of course, all of this must be put down before the rebellion can be determined. At this time, Cao Jixiang was leading more than 300 of his men to storm the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and the momentum was in full swing!
