Chapter 440: Conspiracy
Liu Yixian saw that Wang An actually said the words "blackmail the prince to order the world" in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up, which means that Wang An is also very good to Queen Li. lā
"Alas, the empress usually behaves virtuously and virtuously, how could the Emperor of Daxing know that she would monopolize power?"
Then, Liu Yixiao deliberately sighed, and said to Wang An with a serious expression, "If the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the queen, how can I have the face to see the first emperor and the emperor of Daxing in the future!" ”
Before Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, Emperor Taichang was still honored as the "Emperor of Daxing" and was still the nominal emperor of the Ming Dynasty, while the first emperor referred to the Wanli Emperor.
Only after Zhu Youxiao was called emperor did Emperor Taichang become "Emperor Xian", and Emperor Wanli had to call his temple name "Emperor Shenzong".
In fact, compared with Emperor Taichang, the relationship between the civil and military ministers in the court and the Wanli Emperor was more intimate, after all, the Wanli Emperor ruled for forty-eight years, and the courtiers dealt with him for half a century.
"The queen is the mother of a country, what can we do?"
Wang An glanced at Liu Yixian when he heard this, smiled a little helplessly, and then frowned tightly, "I'm afraid that after a hundred years, you and I can only go to Jiuquan to ask the first emperor and the Daxing emperor for guilt." ”
"It's true that the queen is the mother of a country, but the world belongs to the prince, and we are all the prince's courtiers, how can we be afraid of the queen's majesty?"
Liu Yixiao was silent for a while, then looked at Wang An solemnly and said, "Manager Wang, you and I are loyal to the prince rather than the queen, if the queen has an arrogant move, we should protect the prince as courtiers and ensure that the Ming dynasty will be forever!" ”
"Scholar, the miscellaneous family also knows this truth, but after all, the queen is the mother of a country, how can we protect the prince?" Hearing this, Wang An's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and then he shook his head and said, "As long as the queen is by the prince's side, the prince will not be able to get rid of her control." ”
"Since we will separate the crown prince and the queen, so that the queen will not be able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!"
Liu Yixiao was waiting for Wang An's words, and after hearing this, he lowered his voice, looked at Wang An with a serious expression and said, "This official thinks about it, this method is the safest." ”
"The Forbidden City is heavily guarded, and the queen and the crown prince live in the Qianqing Palace, so it is not easy to separate her from the prince." Wang An shook his head at Liu Yixiao when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, although this method is good, it is a pity that it is difficult to achieve.
The Forbidden City is divided into the inner court where the dormitory is located and the outer court that deals with government affairs, the inner court of the Forbidden City is the place where the palaces such as the Qianqing Palace, the Kunning Palace and the Cining Palace are located, the outer court of the Forbidden City is the place where the palaces such as the Taihe Hall and the Wenyuan Pavilion are located, and the Qianqing Gate connects the inner court and the outer court.
Because the concubines of the harem live in the inner court of the Forbidden City, the only people in the inner court are the inner servants and palace maids, and no one is allowed to enter the inner court of the Forbidden City without the summons of the emperor, empress and queen mother.
Although the cabinet's office is in the outer courtyard of the Forbidden City, Liu Yixian can find a way to bring people into the outer courtyard of the Forbidden City, but it is almost impossible to set foot in the inner court of the Forbidden City, where the dormitory is located.
"This requires Mr. Wang to maneuver around." Liu Yixiao naturally knew that it was not easy to enter the inner court of the Forbidden City, but he had already prepared, lowered his voice and said to Wang An, "The guards of the Qianqing Gate are Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei, and the relationship between Chief Wang and the Imperial Horse Eunuch must be good, if you can persuade him to open the net, then a big thing can be done." ”
Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei are under the jurisdiction of the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and are responsible for guarding the Qianqing Gate and several gates of the inner court of the Forbidden City, so if the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch can turn a blind eye, then Liu Yixiao and the others will be able to pass through the Qianqing Gate smoothly at that time.
"Scholar, you also know that the people of the Imperial Horse Eunuch have always been loners, and it may not be so easy to convince the Imperial Horse Eunuch to do so." Wang An's face couldn't help but show embarrassment, to be honest, he didn't have any friendship with the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, not all the eunuchs in the palace were afraid of him, and the Imperial Horse Eunuch was one of them.
The reason why the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Eunuch did not enter the celebrant eunuch and became the eunuch of Bingbi was not because of insufficient status and qualifications, but because the emperor deliberately did it, and its purpose was naturally to make the factions of the eunuch group check and balance each other.
Like the eunuchs of the palm print and the eunuchs of Bingbi, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch was also a confidant of the emperor, and he knew his duties very little, so he rarely moved around with the other eunuchs in the palace.
Obviously, because the Imperial Horse Eunuch was in charge of the safety of the inner court of the Forbidden City, the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Eunuch must have been highly regarded by Empress Li.
In addition, the eunuch of the imperial horse was the person of Emperor Wanli, and Emperor Taichang did not move him after he ascended the throne, and his status and prestige among the eunuchs were higher than Wang An.
Therefore, Wang An was not sure to persuade the imperial horse eunuch to act according to his and Liu Yixian's request, and this would not be of the slightest benefit to the imperial horse eunuch, so it was unlikely that he would let Liu Yixiao and others enter the Qianqing Gate with his noble hand.
Seeing Wang An's embarrassed face, Liu Yixiao suddenly felt a burst of disappointment in his heart, he also thought that Wang An had a good relationship with the imperial horse eunuch and eunuch, so he didn't want to expect the imperial horse eunuch to put them in the Qianqing Gate.
"Chief Wang, since it is not easy to dredge the eunuchs of the imperial horse eunuchs, then this official has no choice but to follow his colleagues to break into the Qianqing Gate, presumably those pro-soldiers of the Qianqing Gate will not dare to do anything to us old bones."
However, this little difficulty naturally couldn't stop Liu Yixiao's determination, he pondered for a while and then looked at Wang An with a solemn expression, "If those personal soldiers don't let me enter when they die, then I hope that General Manager Wang can help me wait for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Scholars rest assured, Emperor Daxing treats the miscellaneous family as much as a mountain, how can the miscellaneous family sit back and watch the queen abuse power?" Wang An knew that Liu Yixian and the others were fighting this time, otherwise they would not have forced their way into the Qianqing Gate, so he frowned and weighed it, and nodded solemnly to Liu Yixiu.
In case the soldiers of Qianqingmen did not let Liu Yixiao and others enter anyway, then only Wang An would go out and put Liu Yixiao and others in under the pretense of Empress Li or Zhu Youxiao's will.
"Chief Wang is well aware of the righteousness, and this official admires him very much, please accept this official's worship." Liu Yixiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Wang An, if he wanted to enter the Qianqing Gate and take Zhu Youxiao away from the Qianqing Palace, Wang An, the chief eunuch of the Forbidden City, played a very important role.
The reason is very simple, once Wang An greets, the chamberlains in the palace will surround the Qianqing Palace, and Liu Yixiao and the others will not be able to leave the Qianqing Palace even if they snatch Zhu Youxiao from Empress Li, and they will fall short if Empress Li transfers people over.
Obviously, Liu Yixiao and others can't bring their entourage into the Forbidden City, that would be a rebellion, and the people who enter the Forbidden City must be officials and officials above the fifth rank of the imperial court, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.
Therefore, Liu Yixian and the others must find an internal response in the palace, otherwise they will not be able to implement their plan at all, and Wang An, whose power is threatened by Wei Zhongxian, is undoubtedly the best candidate, if he wants to keep the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal and the eunuch in charge of the Forbidden City, he must rely on the power of foreign ministers to consolidate his position.
"The university scholar is serious, and the miscellaneous family is just loyal to the country." Seeing this, Wang An smiled and got up and bowed back to Liu Yixie, a smug look flashed at the corner of his mouth, and after kicking Empress Li out of the power center of the Ming Dynasty, no one could shake the throne of the eunuch who held the seal of his celebrant eunuch.
"Manager Wang, the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be held after the funeral of Emperor Daxing, once the empress is allowed to listen to the government on the enthronement hall, then we will not have any chance at that time."
Although he received Wang An's assistance, Liu Yixiao still didn't dare to take it lightly, and said to Wang An with a serious look that they had to prevent Empress Li from listening to the government from becoming a fact.
"Bachelor, the day after tomorrow is our only chance." Wang An nodded approvingly when he heard this, and after a deep groan, he said to Liu Yixie, "If a scholar wants to succeed, he must act the day after tomorrow!" ”
"The day after tomorrow?" A puzzled look appeared on Liu Yixiao's face, and he didn't understand the meaning of Wang An's words.
"The culprits in Li Kezhuo's case will be executed at mass graves outside the city the day after tomorrow, and at that time, Scholar Li will go to prison outside the city and will not be in the imperial city." Wang An lowered his voice and opened his mouth to explain to Liu Yixiao, "If Scholar Li is in the Imperial City, he will definitely stop this matter." ”
"Hmm!" Liu Yixiao suddenly realized when he heard this, nodded his head again and again, and secretly said that it was so dangerous, he almost forgot about Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu has now finished Li Kezhuo's case, so he was left by Zhu Youxiao to serve, with Li Kezhuo's stubborn character, they will definitely prevent them from taking Zhu Youxiao out of the Qianqing Palace, and if they make a move, they will not be Li Hongyu's opponents.
In addition, Li Hongyu has a very high prestige among the pro-army, and those pro-army in Qianqingmen will definitely look forward to him at that time, so even if they can leave the Qianqing Palace, they will not be able to leave Qianqingmen.
When the people of the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang rushed to Qianqingmen when they heard the news, the efforts of Liu Yixiao and other members of the Donglin Party would be in vain, and this was not the result they wanted to see.
"Steward Wang, I hope that the steward can find a way to transfer the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Eunuch so that we can act more conveniently." After Wang An's reminder, Liu Yixiao thought of another thing, and hurriedly said to Wang An that for the sake of safety, it was necessary to separate the imperial horse eunuch and eunuch, so as not to cause a big deal at that time.
"It's nature!" Wang An frowned slightly, since he was not sure to persuade the imperial horse eunuch and eunuch to act together, then he had to find a way to break it up, so that the guards of the Qianqing Gate would be gone, and there was nothing to fear.
After about a cup of tea, Wang An and Liu Yixiao left the small grocery store one after the other, and soon disappeared at the end of the street, both of them with faint smiles on their faces, looking very satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.
At this moment, no one could have imagined that the seemingly calm capital was about to usher in a violent storm, which changed the pattern in the Ming Dynasty.
