Chapter 951: A tricky aftermath

The battle was fierce. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This is the first impression that the six Shangshu and the three pavilion elders got after they were summoned to the palace and stood in front of the Yiping Gate of Cining Palace. Among the three cabinet elders, the absentee was not Zhang Juzheng, who had been sick before--the cabinet chief assistant had been carried into the palace on a stool--but Zhang Siwei who was in the woes yesterday. As for Shen Shixing, who was on duty in the cabinet last night, although he did not have personal experience, but he also knew a little more than others, at this moment, he faced a pair of eyes that were either asking or questioning, and he had to say that he had ordered the cabinet and the people on duty in the imperial chamber to not go out, and he refused a eunuch who came to pass him on without evidence.

Even Ma Ziqiang, who was in turmoil, and the six Shangshu with their own plans, had to admit that in the situation of Shen Shixing last night, this was indeed the best decision. Their careers have reached the top, and if it weren't for the pursuit of the top, it would indeed be no longer appropriate to mix indiscriminately. From this point of view, Shen Shixing's official position is a little lower and his qualifications are a little lower, but this time it is equivalent to refusing a shortcut to the position of first assistant, and of course, it also avoids a huge risk.

Li Yong, the steward and eunuch of Cining Palace, still has some trembling legs. Seeing that the high-ranking officials looked at the blood on the wall on the ground that had not been cleaned up at all, he said in a hoarse voice: "Last night, the emperor came out of the Fengxian Hall and summoned a large group of small firefighters to the Yiping Gate to force the palace and ask for Gonggong Feng. Gonggong Feng was already injured and did not recover, but because he was dedicated to protecting the old lady of Cisheng, he was hit hard again. In the morning, Cisheng Lao Niangniang summoned the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, but the situation was very bad. ”

Everyone present had just learned of such a situation, and they looked at each other for a while. Maybe most of those low-grade petty officials and people in Shilin are very disdainful of Feng Bao, but in their position, they have been officials for at least thirty years, and they can't avoid dealing with middle officials. For Feng Bao, who was born in the inner study, talks elegantly, is good at making pianos, and is quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting, even if they are not sincere in their relationship, they will be false and wronged, and they know that Feng Bao has always been quite restrained. But this time the incident is too bizarre and shocking, if Feng Bao is intact and continues to be in charge of the celebrant supervisor, I am afraid that he will also be sprayed to death by the spittle of the subjects of the world.

After all, in order to hate Feng Bao, the emperor was so unfilial that he disobeyed the Virgin?

Therefore, even Zhang Juzheng, who had the best personal relationship with Feng Bao, had a very strong heart of grief at this time, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that if Feng Bao could save his life, it would be a way to retire from illness.

After all, with such a share of the merit of escorting, as long as Empress Dowager Li is in one day, she will always keep Feng Bao and the rest of the Feng family. Otherwise, the emperor hates Feng Bao so much, and there will be a next time if it doesn't work this time.

However, what everyone present didn't expect was that Li Yong actually said in a painful tone: "And in the melee last night, it was not only Gonggong Feng who was injured, but also the emperor ......."

Although the Empress Dowager Li invited everyone over, obviously wanting to accuse the emperor of disobedience, everyone, including Zhang Juzheng, was still thinking about how to persuade the always strict Empress Dowager, but, listening to Li's tone, Zhu Yijun seemed to be injured in the chaotic battle, and their faces immediately turned black. At this moment, Li Yong immediately received the collective attention of nine people and eighteen eyes.

The steward of Cining Palace immediately said bluntly: "The emperor is crazy!" ”

“……”

Dumbfounded, staring at each other, dumbfounded...... All in all, it is conceivable that these pavilion elders, who have lived for most of their lives and are close to their fifties, can show such expressions, one can imagine how great the impact of Li Yong's words is. However, when the surprise passed, the nerve-sharp person immediately thought quickly.

Rather than directly saying that the dignified Son of Heaven disobeyed the Holy Mother and stormed Cining Palace, it is better to blame the crux of the problem on the emperor's madness, so as to control the situation. However, the Son of Heaven who disobeys the Virgin Mary will certainly be accused by thousands of people, but the little emperor who has gone mad, so can he really sit on the throne safely?

After a long period of unspeakable silence, the secretary of the military department finally asked very cautiously: "Is the emperor insane or epilepsy?" ”

Madness and epilepsy are just one word, but they have very different meanings. However, Li Yong is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Li, this time the little emperor even did such a thing, since he had never sent charcoal to the emperor in the snow, now he simply chose to hug the Empress Dowager Li's thighs tightly, and there is also a Lu Wang Zhu Yiyi who can be used as an alternative. Therefore, he ignored Fang Fengshi's almost explicit hint, and said bluntly: "The doctor at the Tai Hospital has already seen it, it is mania, not epilepsy." ”

Although epilepsy is not easy to treat these years, compared to mania, it can be regarded as a very acceptable result for everyone, but it can't stand Li Yong's refusal to accept this. Therefore, when Li Yong said that the Empress Dowager Li had moved back to the Qianqing Palace and was personally supervising the imperial doctor to treat Zhu Yijun, several people exchanged glances. Ma Ziqiang sees that he has a good relationship with Wang Chonggu and has made great contributions in the northwest; Wang Guoguang and Li Youzi, Zhang Xueyan, Pan Sheng, watched Zhang Juzheng; Yan Qing looked at Shen Shixing. Except for the last two who don't actually have such a big relationship, the others can see the subtle relationship.

In the end, Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant of the cabinet, said conclusively: "Since the old lady Cisheng and the emperor are both in the Qianqing Palace, then, Gonggong Li will take us to the Qianqing Palace." ”

If you continue to watch like this in front of the Yiping Gate of Cining Palace, you won't be able to watch any famous halls!

Li Yong originally just took these people to the Yiping Gate of Cining Palace to hang around, let them know that the chaos last night was extraordinary, and then took them to Qianqing Palace to see Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen. But just as he nodded and was about to leave with such a large number of big guys, he heard a shouting from inside. He turned his head to take a look, but found that it was Zhu Yiyi, the king of Lu, who ran out directly despite the obstruction of a large number of internal servants.

As one of the only two children of Emperor Muzong Longqing, Zhu Yijun is the second son, and there are too many little Zhu Yijun, who was born without the throne, and the Empress Dowager Li is also very careful not to let people take this young son crookedly, so this King Lu is naturally not outstanding in civil and military affairs - for the vassal king who is determined to be a vassal in the future, it is a bad thing to be outstanding, look at what happened to the sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor back then? Therefore, he ran out in a hurry and was not busy getting close to a large group of ministers, in fact, he didn't recognize more than half of them, and directly grabbed Li Yong's sleeve at this time.

"Where is the emperor's brother?"

Zhu Yiyi asked in one sentence, and seeing that a large number of people were a little dazed, he suddenly asked with a trembling voice: "What happened to those shouting voices last night?" They all said I was dreaming, but how did Yiheimon become like this? I'm not dreaming, am I, what happened, why did my mother have a straight face when she saw me yesterday and today? I haven't seen the emperor's brother from yesterday to today, is something wrong with him? ”

Not to mention a series of questions, Li Yong couldn't answer them, let alone dare to answer them, and even Zhang Juzheng and other ministers were all disgraced. Some people also thought that if Empress Dowager Li really moved that heavy mind, the new monarch in front of her was likely to be the future, what should happen at that time, but at present, these high-ranking officials who have gone through the world and dealt with intrigues all day long see a younger brother who is really worried about his mother and brother. Sick...... Or Zhang Juzheng, who was pretending to be sick, was originally soft-hearted than usual, and Li Youzi, who had always been chubby and calculating to take Yin Zhengmao, couldn't help but sigh a little at this moment.

Therefore, the latter actually stepped forward to help Li Yong, who was at a loss, and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu, Gonggong Li wants to take all the adults to the Qianqing Palace, the old lady Cisheng and the emperor are there, everyone has to discuss business......"

King Lu naturally doesn't understand anything, the family affection of the heavenly family has always been a little weaker than other families, he was born late, and he was not as important as Zhu Yijun, the eldest son, and when his father Emperor Mu Zong Longqing died, and Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, this differential treatment was even more obvious. It's not that anyone wants to fight for King Lu - since Emperor Yongle, no vassal king has won the crown prince, including the deposed Emperor Jing - but there are eunuchs who want to follow this eunuch out of the palace and quietly instill in him the prospect of freedom after becoming a vassal. But no matter what, Zhu Yiyi only has two relatives in the palace, his mother and his brother, which is always a fact.

In the past, when Empress Dowager Li lived in Qianqing Palace instead of Cining Palace, he was used to it, but his mother moved back, and this time there was such a big basket suddenly, how could he rest assured? You must know that after the Empress Dowager Li moved back, she didn't do anything else, she instilled in his ears that she wanted to be a virtuous king, and when she saw and heard any bad people and things, she must immediately put it forward, and she wanted to protect the ancestors' rivers and mountains, and so on!

So, in the face of Li Youzi's prevarication, Zhu Yiyi shouted without thinking: "Then I will also go to the Qianqing Palace!" ”

This is really bad!

Li Youzi unsurprisingly gained everyone's meaningful attention, and when he found that Zhang Juzheng's eyes were also quite complicated, he realized that it was bad, and his kind appeasement was regarded as political speculation. When he returned to the crowd, the Ministry of Works, who had always been at the bottom of the list, said angrily: "I'm going to be a person, I don't want anything else, I just want to be safe." But nowadays, not everyone who wants to be stable can be stable! ”

Although some people disagreed with Li Youzi's defense, everyone soon found out that Li Youzi was a prophecy. After the Empress Dowager Li saw them in the Qianqing Palace, she not only asked them to ask the eunuchs and palace people who had experienced last night's events one by one, but also asked Feng Bao in the West Side Hall to be moved out for everyone to see the tragic situation, and in the end, she said bitterly: "I also know that the matter is publicized, and it is simply an unprecedented scandal, so I deliberately let people say that they are crazy, otherwise how can I be worthy of my ancestors and ancestors?" ”

That's right, the point is not what the emperor's people made Feng Bao look like, the important thing is that the emperor led people to attack Cining Palace! Of course, if the matter succeeds, and the emperor unknowingly puts the Empress Dowager Li in the air or even under house arrest, then the emperors of all dynasties have not dealt with their own mothers like this in the past, and the ministers will also pretend not to see or hear, and then turn big things into small things and count, but the problem is that the emperor tossed so much, and he actually failed! What's more, there have been such things in all dynasties, and there have never been such examples of the country and dynasties preaching to rule the world with filial piety!

So, Zhu Yiyi, the king of Lu, who came over to find out what was going on, was embraced by the Empress Dowager Li, and then heard his own mother cry in pain.

"I should have given birth to this one son!"

Ma Ziqiang couldn't hold back the expression on his face, he finally took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the old lady, since you summoned the ministers and others today, why don't you see the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Gelao?" ”

It's okay not to mention Zhang Siwei, as soon as Zhang Siwei is mentioned, Empress Dowager Li immediately remembered the Zhang family's housework that she was entangled in, and immediately said sharply: "The news of Zhang Siwei's murder is well known, and he still has the kung fu to persuade him to say that righteous and awe-inspiring words yesterday, and he is embarrassed?" Zhang Ming and Zhang Wei have confessed and slandered to Da Lang, he is the one who separates my mother and son, and I still want to see this culprit, is it cheap? He is more hateful than Gao Gong, Gao Gong is just bullying our orphans and widows, he is just purging Da Lang, the emperor, to deal with his mother! ”

Empress Dowager Li finished shouting these words in this sharp voice, and seeing that every minister present was dumbfounded, she realized that many of the inside stories were afraid that none of the people present would know, so she looked at Li Yong and said: "Li Yong, you told them that Dongchang has judged something from Zhang Ming and Zhang Weina!" ”

The discord between Feng Bao and Zhang Siwei, everyone present knows it, didn't they see that Zhang Siwei is now in and out of the cabinet and his home, and there are people from Dongchang blatantly watching? Therefore, few people will believe the matter that Dongchang has tried, but if there is no relationship between Zhang Siwei's Fuque and the little emperor's disobedience, then no one believes it either. Even Zhang Siwei's in-law Ma Ziqiang, thinking that Zhang Taizheng, who used to come and go to his house often, suddenly died, and it was said that Zhang Sijiao personally insisted that someone would die, and he was a little unstable in his heart.

Even if it was really Zhang Taizheng and Wang Fulin who had a personal vendetta, so he used his father's name to write a letter to Wang Daokun to provoke trouble, and after the incident, Zhang Siwei had already asked Zhang Sijiao to take someone to Wang's house to apologize, then this matter should be over, why bother to kill people so ruthlessly? How could there be such a coincidental misfire? But if it wasn't the Zhang family who did it, but Zhang Taizheng himself was disheartened and set on fire, how desperate would he do such a thing, could it be that Zhang Siwei did it originally, but he planted it on his son because he wanted to be famous?

Seeing that none of the ministers present spoke up, Empress Dowager Li was bold and immediately said: "Zhang Siwei must not stay in the cabinet anymore, no wonder some people said that he had a good relationship with Gao Gong before, and even this act is a way!" dismissed from his post and lived idlely, immediately went out of Beijing, and was not allowed to stay in the capital.
