The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the prosperous Ming Dynasty!

Forbidden City, Taihe Palace. The Son of Heaven ascended to the throne, and the ministers worshipped.

After a mountain shouted long live, Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the throne, said in a slightly trembling voice: "Everyone, Aiqing is flat. ”

Hearing this, the ministers rose one after another, and the important ministers of the court who were standing in the forefront subconsciously raised their eyes to look at the Son of Heaven in front of them, and then their hearts were full of joy, today's emperor's complexion is really too bad, not only his face is pale, his lips are not bloody, and his eyes are full of bloodshots, as if he has not rested well for three days and three nights.

Seeing this, Chen Xun, the head assistant of the cabinet who had just stood still, walked out again, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you should focus on the dragon body, and you can only achieve good health and recuperation." Although it is normal for the prince to die young, it is normal for His Majesty to be sad, but Your Majesty is related to my Ming Dynasty, but there must be no mistakes. ”

These words quickly attracted the unanimous resonance of other courtiers, and then many courtiers stood up to comfort them, hoping that the Son of Heaven would raise the dragon body as soon as possible, and not abandon himself because of the death of the prince.

Zhu Qiyu listened quietly, without too much expression on his face, until the ministers had almost spoken, he spoke slowly: "Some time ago, the prince died young, and I was really sad, and because of this, I wasted the government, and I am really ashamed of the ancestors and the ancestors, and the people of the world." Fortunately, thanks to me and your dedicated courtiers, I can keep things as usual, so it seems that I am more and more ashamed. ”

The ministers hurriedly didn't dare to say it, although they did want the Son of Heaven to change their ways, and even issued an edict on the previous matter, but in front of the emperor, and at the court meeting, it was naturally difficult to say it directly, which was a big sin committed below.

The emperor glanced at everyone, and then continued: "But the reason why I am so haggard today is not because of the crown prince, but because of ...... I think you should have heard of it, just yesterday night, there was a sudden rebellion of rebels inside and outside the palace, and they actually raised troops to attack the Qianqing Palace where I was located, trying to murder my ......."

Even though everyone did already know something, when they heard these words from the emperor's mouth, they still made the ministers change their colors together, and then there was an uproar. After a while, someone asked urgently, "Is Your Majesty still okay?" Who is that bold fanatic who dares to rebel and rebel? ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled a little tiredly: "I was indeed a little frightened at that time. Fortunately, there were many eunuchs in the palace who were loyal to the guard, and there was the command of the Jinyi Guard, so that Lu Zhen had already prepared, and the soldiers did their best to rescue him, so that he was not injured by those traitors. As for the identity of those traitors...... said, his face showed a look of pain again: "In the palace are Cao Jixiang and his subordinates of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and outside the palace are Shi Heng, the commander of the Beijing camp, and a group of soldiers in the army who are blinded by him. ”

Many people gasped, and such changes in internal and external collusion did sound terrifying at this time. At the same time, some people muttered in their hearts, I have long said that Shi Heng's wolf ambition is not credible, let alone hand over such an important military power of the Beijing camp to him. But Your Majesty, you always don't listen, and now something is wrong, right?

However, at this time, everyone naturally did not dare to say these words clearly, and what the ministers could do was to keep speaking out against these rebellious ministers, and bluntly saying that not destroying their three clans was not enough to correct the law of the country and the hearts of the people.

After watching the ministers argue and criticize for a while, the emperor spoke again: "In this matter, my fault is not small. I have never been able to see that Shi Heng has such wolf ambitions, and I have given him absolute trust, which has led to a big change this time. Fortunately, God bless me and did not let the treacherous schemes of such traitors succeed. I have decided that this time I must severely punish those traitors. But before that, I need to discuss with you how to reward the two great heroes who saved me from danger this time.

"One of them is Lu Jin, if he hadn't ventured into the palace and made early preparations, I'm afraid that the rebellious traitor would have successfully attacked the Qianqing Palace. Moreover, when the rebels stormed the Qianqing Palace, he also took the lead, leading a group of guards and eunuchs to fight to the death, which ensured my safety. As he spoke, he briefly mentioned the heroic performance of Lu Zhen when he led people to fight the rebels at night.

When everyone heard this, they were moved. Even those who had any opinions about Lu Jin, after hearing about his various performances during the rebellion, were deeply admired. So when the emperor mentioned that he wanted to reward Lu Zhen for this matter, almost none of the ministers in the palace spoke up against it, such a great merit of saving the driver, but the world's first-class great merit, and the meritorious service of the founding of the country is not far behind.

But then the second hero mentioned by the emperor made the ministers a little unacceptable: "This second great hero is Shi Biao, the commander of the Beijing camp......"

"Shi Biao? Your Majesty, is he Shi Heng's nephew, the one who came to the capital from Datong with him before? Immediately, an official of the Ministry of War couldn't help but ask.

After Zhu Qiyu nodded, a burst of discussion quickly spread, and many people had opinions on this, mostly suspicious of Shi Biao, after all, the relationship between him and Shi Heng was here, and the other party was a rebellious mastermind repeat offender, how could Shi Biao, who was a nephew and cronie, become a hero of great merit?

"I can't understand all the inside information in a few words, and after two days, Shi Biao will come to the table to play. In addition, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, the two rebellious felons, have been taken by others, and the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple have asked the Three Law Divisions to strictly interrogate them and come up with a proper disposal plan. The emperor did not have the intention of arguing with his subordinates, and quickly made a decision: "And how to reward those meritorious heroes, you must also come up with a charter as soon as possible." At the same time, there were many changes in the capital last night, and I am afraid that people are still panicking now, and the next thing you have to do is to appease the people, and you must not let Beijing cause any more chaos. ”

In the face of the emperor's unquestionable orders, the ministers naturally did not dare to oppose it anymore, and they all surrendered their hands. Many officials standing in front of them have already seen that the Son of Heaven at this time is already exhausted, and it is only for the sake of the hearts of the ministers that they will strengthen their spirits to convene this court meeting. Now that he has said everything that should be said, and all the things that have been ordered to be reordered, he naturally has the mind to disperse the dynasty.

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't insist anymore, so they bowed again, and then sent Zhu Qiyu away slowly with the support of the eunuch.

After watching the Son of Heaven leave, the ministers followed out of the Taihe Hall with surprise and apprehension, and many people came together and discussed in a low voice: "You said that Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang had such courage to suddenly rebel?" ”

"yes, it's really weird. That Shi Heng is okay, after all, he has long had a disobedient heart, but His Majesty was deceived by him before, so he will give him another chance. But that Cao Jixiang is a little weird. I heard that he was just the steward eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, even if he had some military power, how could he dare to do such a rebellious act? What is he trying to do? ”

"That's a bit weird. He is a eunuch, even if it really happens, it is impossible to steal the throne. No, it's not just him, even Shi Heng, if he lets him get lucky, can he be the emperor? I'm still waiting, the world is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the thousands of people and armies loyal to Your Majesty are here, even if they succeed, they can't escape the end of defeat, right? ”

These words were said to have reached the hearts of most officials, and many of them frowned deeply and showed doubts.

Behind them, the faces of Yu Qian and several other important ministers were particularly solemn, compared to ordinary courtiers, they looked at things much more far-reaching. With their familiarity with the Son of Heaven, Zhu Qiyu must have hidden something in his remarks just now, so he hurriedly finished the matter and hastily ended the court meeting. And not just because he's exhausted.

As for the reason, as long as you think carefully about who else in this palace besides Zhu Qiyu can justifiably ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven, you can know what the emperor is deliberately hiding.

Emperor Zhu Qizhen! The first thing that came to mind in the minds of Yu Qian and others was the appearance of this person. Although this name has not appeared in the court for many years, everyone must admit that its threat to the throne of the Son of Heaven is still there.

If Shi Heng had rebelled this time under the banner of helping him regain the throne, they would have succeeded in the end. At that time, what choice will the central government and the subjects of the world make?

Although several high-ranking officials did not speak, they could clearly draw conclusions from their respective eyes. If this is the case, under the circumstance that the Son of Heaven is killed and the whole of Beijing is in the hands of Shi Heng and others, I am afraid that this Manchu courtier, the people of Manchu Beijing, for their own safety, can only accept the result of letting Zhu Qizhen regain his claim as emperor. After all, his identity is here, if it weren't for the big change a few years ago, he would still be the master of this Ming Dynasty!

At the thought of this, everyone felt their hearts shrink suddenly, and people trembled slightly. At this moment, they were really afraid, don't think that this rebellion of Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang seems reckless, in fact, they have already prepared everything, and it was only because of Lu Jin's sudden appearance that their entire plan was completely shattered. Not only did he fail to kill the emperor as he wished, but he put himself in it.

Thinking about it this way, these people have a little more respect for Lu Jin, because if it weren't for him, their courtiers would not have a good reputation in the history books in the future, so it is natural for the emperor to reward him so much.

But then, Yu Qian frowned slightly: "Hey, why didn't you see Lu Shansi present at this court meeting?" Didn't he enter the palace before us? ”

After his reminder, everyone suddenly realized that they had indeed ignored this great hero. It stands to reason that as the absolute protagonist of this counterinsurgency, Lu Zhen should also be here, but he is not seen from beginning to end, which is really unusual.

Lu Jin, where is he?
