Qianqing Palace, East щ{][lā}??? Chinese≈=≤==≈=≠

"Your Majesty, the princess has collapsed and been frightened again, just rest for a few days." Several imperial doctors who rushed from the Tai Hospital took the pulse of the sleeping Zhu Huiyuan and came to a conclusion, and the leading imperial doctor bowed down to report to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"What is the situation of the scholars?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, there are some minor injuries on the scholar's body, which are not in the way." The leading imperial doctor bowed down and replied when he heard this, he had already treated Li Hongyu, and because Li Hongyu's protective measures were relatively good, there were only some slight burns on his body, which had been rubbed with ointment.

"That's good." Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said to Wei Zhongxian on the side, "Master Xuan Li is here." ”

Wei Zhongxian bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and left quickly, Li Hongyu is now in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, originally Wei Zhongxian could send the inner servants to pass the message, but in order to show his respect for Li Hongyu, he still went in person, after this fire in the Luan Palace, Li Hongyu will undoubtedly get the great trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

In another sense, Li Hongyu was also regarded by Wei Zhongxian as an ally of the court, although the two were an internal servant and a foreign minister, they were both cronies of Emperor Tianqi and had a common interest base.

Wei Zhongxian is now under a lot of pressure, Wang An deceived Emperor Tianqi when he was young and called for wind and rain in the inner court, as Emperor Wanli's close attendant, it is naturally his duty to deal with Wang An, but Emperor Tianqi is not prosperous and now he can't control the situation, how easy is it for him to bring down Wang An, and now he can only endure with Emperor Tianqi.

Li Hongyu had already put on his official robe and hat at this time, and because his clothes were not only wet with water, but also had a few holes burned by the fire, it was obvious that he couldn't wear them.

For this reason, Emperor Tianqi specially asked people to take the clothes paid tribute by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to Li Hongyu to show his favor, and Li Hongyu is definitely worthy of these rewards.

"The minister has seen the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager." Entering the Dongnuan Pavilion, Li Hongyu bowed down and saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Empress Dowager Zheng and the Empress Dowager Li who were standing next to the soft couch and talking.

"Flat!" Emperor Apocalypse raised his hand to Li Hongyu and said with a smile, "Master Li, you saved the princess this time, what reward do you want?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a matter within the courtier's responsibility, and I don't dare to ask for merit."

Li Hongyu hurriedly turned pale when he heard this, and replied seriously, at this time, if anyone asks for a reward, he is a fool, you must know that he is facing the emperor, and he only has the right to put forward conditions if he accepts it!

"You don't joke, since I said that the person who saved the queen mother and the princess was promoted to the third level, then you must do it."

Emperor Tianqi immediately laughed when he heard this, looked at Li Hongyu and said loudly, "Master Li listens to the order, I will crown you as the crown prince and young master!" ”

The young master of the prince is the title of the second grade, and it is the highest official title in the "three young princes".

The so-called "three young princes" refers to the prince Shaobao, the prince young master and the prince young master, with the prince and the young master as the precious, followed by the prince and the young master, and then the prince and the young master, all of which are the official ranks of the second grade, which is the senior title in the official system of the Ming Dynasty, and the official rank of the six Shangshu.

According to the edict of Emperor Tianqi "official promotion to three levels", Li Hongyu's official rank will be promoted to the first rank, and the highest grade of the Ming Dynasty's official position is the second rank of the six Shangshu and the imperial history of the capital, and the first rank and the first rank belong to the additional title.

"The Three Princes and Three Youths" is also a kind of title, and those who can obtain this title are all important civil and military ministers in the court, and it is really rare for Li Hongyu to get such a title at a young age, and it is a result of a mistake.

"Your Majesty, this can't be helped." Li Hongyu hurriedly knelt down when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "The minister is ashamed and dare not be, please ask the emperor to take back his fate." ”

"Master Li, I only have three younger sisters, each of which is extremely precious to me, and now that you have saved Princess Le'an, I naturally want to reward me heavily, otherwise outsiders will still think that my sister is not a golden branch and jade leaf!"

Emperor Tianqi waved his hand when he heard this, and said solemnly to Li Hongyu, "I have made up my mind, Master Li, you should get up, otherwise it will be a protest." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Hearing this, a helpless wry smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and he stood up after kowtowing to Emperor Apocalypse.

When he saved people, he didn't think about adding an official to a knighthood, but he didn't think that he accidentally became the prince and young master, and his official rank was on the same level as Sun Chengzong, which could be regarded as not dishonoring his status as an auxiliary minister.

In fact, if you calculate it carefully, Li Hongyu, who was originally in the third grade, was actually promoted to the fourth level.

Although the grades of the "Prince and Three Youths" are all positive and second, because there is a distinction between the three official ranks, they have always been regarded as three levels of titles, and Li Hongyu has obtained the highest rank among them, so he should have been promoted to four levels.

However, after all, the grade of the "Prince and Three Less" is the same, so it is difficult for outsiders to study the details in detail, after all, the "official promotion" of Emperor Tianqi refers to the third level of grade promotion, according to this calculation, Li Hongyu is from the first grade.

Besides, this is what Li Hongyu bought in exchange for his life, is the dignified Ming Auxiliary Minister not worthy of the official rank of the second grade?

Emperor Tianqi greeted Li Hongyu for a while, and then gave Wei Zhongxian a look, Wei Zhongxian knew that Emperor Tianqi had something to say to Li Hongyu, so he led the chamberlain, palace maid and imperial doctor in the Dongnuan Pavilion to retreat.

The Empress Dowager Zheng and the Empress Dowager Li stayed, and this fire virtually made the relationship between the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family and the Empress Dowager Li even closer, and in the final analysis, he and the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family and the Empress Dowager Li are a family.

"Master Li, what do you think of this fire in the Luan Palace?" Waiting for Wei Zhongxian and his entourage to leave, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked Li Hongyu quietly, and his tone became solemn.

"Back to the emperor, the minister felt that the fire in the Luan Palace was a natural disaster, and it was caused by the night wind blowing down the candlestick."

Li Hongyu knew what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant, and wanted to ask his opinion on the handling of the fire, so after pondering for a while, he said, "There is wind today, and the construction of the Luan Palace is old and it is a wooden structure, so once it is ignited, it will inevitably explode into a fire." ”

"Acts of God?" Emperor Apocalypse's brows furrowed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to say such a thing, couldn't he see that the fire was man-made?

"Your Majesty, the mourning family thinks that Master Li is reasonable, the palace has indeed not been repaired for some years, and many wooden objects have been aged, which is very easy to ignite a fire."

The Empress Dowager of the Zheng family gave Li Hongyu a praising role, such as today's Emperor Qi's first ascension to the Great Treasure Dynasty is unstable, so it is wiser to deal with the fire in the Luan Palace in a low-key manner, so she said, "The people who put out the fire today are really hard, and the emperor should reward them." ”

Emperor Apocalypse couldn't help but flash a gloomy look in his eyes when he heard this, he naturally knew that Li Hongyu would not fail to see that there was something wrong with this fire, but Li Hongyu responded with a "natural disaster", obviously he didn't want him to hold on to this matter, and he had the same opinion as the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little unwilling, since his most trusted courtiers and his imperial grandmother wanted him to downplay the fire in the Luan Palace, then he knew that it could not be left to his temperament.

"Your Majesty, there is an old saying that 'it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years', the emperor sits on the world, why rush for a while." Seeing the apocalypse emperor's grim expression, the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family thought that he couldn't think about it, so she opened her mouth to comfort her.

"Your Majesty, the society of the country is the most important!" Empress Dowager Li also spoke at this time, and persuaded Emperor Tianqi with a serious expression.

Although she now hated Wang An, who instructed people to set fires, it was obvious that now was not the time to settle accounts with Wang An, otherwise it would make the situation of the Emperor of the Apocalypse even more difficult, which was not what she wanted to see.

Wang An would never have imagined that his fire would make the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had a gap in Empress Dowager Li's heart, trust Empress Dowager Li again.

Historically, Empress Dowager Li did not become the queen, she was still "Li Xuanzhi" after the death of Emperor Taichang, and was driven to the Luan Palace after the palace transfer case, and was almost burned to death in the fire in the Luan Palace, but fortunately, the chamberlain and the palace maid around her were desperate to save her and Zhu Huiyuan to escape with their lives.

"Someone!"

Emperor Tianqi is not the kind of person who is stubborn and self-serving, he has learned the way of kings from Emperor Wanli, and knows that now is not the time to settle old accounts, so after Empress Dowager Li comforted him, he groaned and shouted outside the door.

"Your Majesty, what do you command?" Wei Zhongxian, who was guarding outside the door, hurriedly came in when he heard the sound, bowed down and asked.

"The head of the Luan Palace." The Emperor of the Apocalypse commanded with a serious expression.

"The slave knocks on the emperor." Wei Zhongxian bowed down and went out, and soon brought the head of the Luan Palace, who was shivering from the cold and had some difficulty in walking, and knelt down with a frightened expression, touching his head to the ground and looking extremely frightened.

Since Zhu Huiyuan was rescued from the fire by Li Hongyu, the head of the Qiluan Palace has been kneeling in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace to plead guilty, and now it is a night in November, the weather is cold, and the taste is really uncomfortable.

In the eyes of the head of the Luan Palace, no matter what caused the fire, his guilt could not be shirked, so he was extremely frightened in his heart, not knowing what the Emperor of the Apocalypse would do with him.

"You can't escape the blame for the fire in the Luan Palace, but I see that you have been serving in the palace for many years, and at the same time you are working hard to put out the fire, I will punish you to go to the Huanyi Bureau and stop you for a year."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at the head of the Luan Palace for a while, and then said quietly, "You get ready, and go to office tomorrow." ”

"The slave bows to thank the emperor for his grace!" The head of the Luan Palace thought that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was going to punish him heavily, but he didn't expect to just drop him to the Huanyi Bureau and stop him, and he suddenly felt a surprise in his heart, and kowtowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse again and again to thank him.

Although the Huanyi Bureau is the most secluded and dishonorable yamen in the palace, it is also one of the twenty-four yamen in the inner court, and he is still a eunuch in charge.

"Companion, I will teach you to investigate the fire in the Luan Palace, and you must give me an explanation." Emperor Apocalypse glanced at the head of the Qiluan Palace, who had a grateful face, and said to Wei Zhongxian quietly.

"The minions obey." Wei Zhongxian bowed down when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, he had heard the words in the previous room at the door, and knew how to deal with this case.

"Where's Mr. Wang?"

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse remembered something, and couldn't help frowning, he hadn't seen Wang An since he entered the harem, could it be that this dog slave had avoided it? He has so much guts?

"Back to the emperor, because there is no emperor's edict, Chief Wang was stopped by the new army of Qianqingmen, and now he is waiting for the decree in the ceremonial superintendent." When Wei Zhongxian heard this, a subtle smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he opened his mouth to explain.

"Stopped?" Emperor Tianqi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Wang An, the head of the palace, would be blocked outside the Qianqing Gate, you must know that Wang An is the most powerful in the imperial city now.

Then, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but glance at Li Hongyu on the side, and a look of relief appeared on his face, this was the royal forbidden army he needed.

"You send someone out of the palace and announce the king." Although he was secretly happy, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't show it, and after pondering for a while, he solemnly said to Wei Zhongxian, as the head of the Forbidden City, Wang An should naturally intervene in this case, and it was also a kind of appeasement to Wang An.
