The next morning! Hou Mansion!

Xiaobi took Wang An and hurriedly went to the wing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hou Gongzi! Oh no! Oh no! Wang An pushed open the door and said anxiously.

Looking at the flustered Wang An, Hou Guoxing, who was freshening up, was stunned for a moment, put down the towel and asked:

"What happened, why is my father-in-law so anxious?"

"The emperor has died! Prince... The crown prince also let Li Changzhi be trapped in the Qianqing Palace! The crown prince heard that the emperor's condition had deteriorated and left in a hurry. After arriving, I learned that the emperor suddenly vomited blood in the morning, and the imperial doctor had died after the rescue was ineffective, and now the Qianqing Palace let Li Jinzhong arrange for the eunuchs to surround him, and Mrs. Ke was afraid that the prince would have an accident, so she stayed there to take care of the prince. We quickly ran out when we saw the opportunity. Our family has already notified the ministers of various ministries and asked them to enter the palace to rescue the crown prince. ”

Moving the palace case!

Hou Guoxing's brain! No wonder I feel restless these days! It turned out to be a historical palace removal case!

"What is my father-in-law going to do?" Hou Guoxing stabilized his mood and asked:

"Now our family also feels that the six gods have no master, and we only hope that those ministers can rescue the crown prince. Hou Gongzi rest assured, the loyal ministers in the court still occupy the majority, especially the lords of Donglin, the reputation of Shilin should stand up at this time to return the world to a bright future. ”

Donglin Party! Hou Guoxing recalled history, as if the Donglin Party had made great efforts in this palace transfer case and successfully supported Zhu Youxiao to ascend the throne.

Thinking of this, Hou Guoxin calmed down and said to Wang An:

"What my father-in-law said is that with the princes of Donglin, the prince can be guaranteed to be safe."

Wang An returned the salute and said to Hou Guoxing:

"Our family made this matter panicked, Hou Gongzi is witty, and he escaped death in the hands of Li Changzhi several times, or I will go to the Qianqing Palace together to see, if there is really anything at that time, Hou Gongzi can also help our family come up with an idea."

Wang An took Hou Guoxing, who was wearing a eunuch suit, to the Qianqing Palace, and then saw that the palace gate was stopped by hundreds of eunuchs, and a group of courtiers knelt outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace and cried:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's too late! ”

"Why did you go like this, what can I do in this world without you?"

.......

Only crying is that the sun and the moon are dark!

At this time, an old man in a crimson civil official uniform standing at the front of him spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's ask Li Changshou to open the door, let me wait to go in and see the emperor's body. The emperor died, how could the public just cry here, and they had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country. Also, the crown prince is the eldest son of the emperor......"

Without waiting for the adult to finish speaking, a young civil official stood up among the hundreds of officials and scolded: "Fang Congzhe, you rebel minister, you and Li Kezhuo offered poison to the emperor, and you still have the face to say what important national tasks are here?" I won't care about you for the time being, and when this happens, I won't wait for you to rest. After speaking, he ignored Fang Congzhe, whose face turned blue, and turned his head and said loudly to the hundred officials behind him;

"We are deeply favored by the emperor, such as today's death of the son, but we can't cry on the side, the prince also let Li Changzhi be trapped in the Qianqing Palace, and the princes are only crying outside the door, what is the reason? Today is the blood spattered five steps, and I, Yang Lian, also want to break into this Qianqing Palace. ”

After speaking, he stood up and glared angrily at the eunuchs surrounding the Qianqing Palace, and scolded:

"Emasculating! Don't get out of the way yet. ”

A group of eunuchs blocked themselves, and at this time, another person stood up on Yang Lian's left and shouted loudly:

"Princes, the national disaster is at the head, these eunuchs dare to oppress us and other pillars of the court, and today they will fight to the death to break into this Qianqing Palace, and a hundred years later, the history books will also leave me Liu Yixian as the emperor today, and die for the Jiangshan Sheji." After speaking, he also rushed to the eunuchs surrounding the Qianqing Palace.

For a while, the ministers were emotionally agitated, and the situation was out of control at any time!

At this moment, the gate of the Qianqing Palace suddenly opened, and the eunuch Li Jinzhong walked out of it and said:

"Li Niangniang invited Lord Liu and Lord Yang to go in to discuss the affairs of the first emperor and the crown prince's accession to the throne."

After speaking, he said to the ministers who were kneeling on the ground:

"Ministers, please wait, when the two adults come out, they will give everyone a satisfactory result, and please go to a cool place to rest first!"

The gate of the Qianqing Palace is closed!

Looking at Yang Lian and Liu Yixie, who were full of righteousness, Wang An trembled slightly with excitement, and said to Hou Guoxing:

"Master Hou, you see Lord Liu and Lord Yang have entered! It is estimated that the matter will be resolved satisfactorily in no time. These two adults are loyal ministers of the Donglin family, especially this Lord Yang is not very old, but he is a pair of iron bones, if this matter can be successfully resolved, our family will definitely show the loyalty of the princes of Donglin to the prince. ”

Yang Lian, he is Yang Lian? That Yang Lian, who does not seek family wealth, does not seek to enter the prime minister, does not seek to leave a name in history, but only takes the world, the country and the people as his responsibility, is willing to suffer humiliation, is willing to be tortured, and regards death as home? If there is any loyal minister in this Ming Dynasty, this Yang Lian is definitely one.

Hou Guoxing's heart was deeply shocked, under the fame, there was indeed no vanity, Yang Lian's fearlessness in the face of hundreds of eunuchs, that kind of heroic righteousness made Hou Guoxing tremble slightly. Hearing Wang An's voice, Hou Guoxing sorted out his emotions and said:

"What my father-in-law said is very true, I only heard that the princes of Donglin are dedicated to the country and the people, and what I see today is worthy of the name."

A long time has passed!

Hou Guoxing and Wang An waited anxiously outside the Qianqing Palace.

Father-in-law, why haven't the two adults come out for a long time, is there still a repetition of things? Hou Guoxing asked anxiously.

Wang An was also sweating profusely, reached out and touched the sweat on his head, and spoke

"Hou Gongzi, don't worry, there is Liu. The two adults Yang and the hundred officials outside the door, then Li Changshi can't turn the sky. ”

Just when the two of them were anxious, the gate of the Qianqing Palace opened again. Yang and the others walked out with tired faces.

All the ministers gathered around and asked:

"Two adults, I wonder if the emperor's body is okay?"

"How is the prince inside?"

"Is Chang Shi Li willing to hand over the crown prince?"

Ladies and gentlemen! Liu Yixian looked angry and said:

"The crown prince was crying in front of the emperor's body and almost fainted, and Lord Yang and I begged Li Changshi to let the prince come out to recuperate and ascend the throne on the day of choice. That knew that Li Chang relied on the favor of the first emperor during his lifetime, and made a lot of difficulties for the two of us, that is, he did not let the prince out of the Qianqing Palace. He also proposed that the crown prince was assigned by the first emperor to raise her, and the prince had a mother, so the prince had to canonize her as the queen mother before ascending the throne. ”

"How can this be, how can there be a reason for the Son of Heaven to establish the queen mother before registering?"

"This Li family is just a common servant in the palace, how can he be so arrogant?"

The crowd was indignant again!

Yang Lian, who was on the side, spoke again:

"Xia Guan originally wanted to stabilize that Li Changshou first, but he shirked and said that everything was decided after the prince ascended the throne, but he was not moved, but instead proposed that after the prince ascended the throne, all the ministers submitted the chapters should be handed over to the prince after they were examined. Naturally, the two of us didn't allow it, and wanted to take the prince to leave forcibly, but let Li Jinzhong and a group of eunuchs stop them. Those gang of eunuchs are not afraid of the officials, but that Li Changshou was originally the widow of the first emperor, so it was not easy to persecute too much, so he had to come out to discuss with the adults! ”

Everyone was talking again, some praised Yang and Liu for not being afraid of death and resisting the eunuchs, and some scolded Li Changzhi for harboring misfortune and wanting to control the government.

At this time, another person spoke up:

"Xia Guan thinks that as long as the prince is released, everything can be discussed."

"What do you think, Lord Wei?" Yang Lian asked.

There was another round of discussion.

The more Hou Guoxing listened, the more frightened he became, seeing that this trend seemed to have a tendency to compromise with Li Changshi! Could it be said that in history, Zhu Youxiao ignored the government because of his self-abandonment under the side of power?

If Zhu Youxiao falls into power, how will he survive in this upcoming troubled times! Let's not talk about it in the future, if this Li Changzhi holds great power, then the first person to be killed is himself!

What to do, what to do! Calm down, there must be a way! Hou Guoxing's mind was racing.

Did he say in public that he knew the size of the birthmark on Li Changshi's chest? Said that he committed adultery with Li Changshi? Hou Guoxing quickly dismissed this nonsense approach.

I haven't had Yang Lian's consciousness yet, for the so-called emperor, the so-called prince, I don't even want my own life, not to mention that I dare to say it, I will not be as righteous as Yang Lian, and win the applause of the whole house.

Hou Guoxing walked anxiously, what is the situation inside now, it is not clear at all, the group of righteous ministers outside also began to make noise, some agreed to compromise, and some suggested rushing in directly to grab people.

Wang An also muttered to himself on the side:

"No! The crown prince was suppressed by Li Changshou when he was a child, if this Li Changshou really made the queen mother, and had the right to watch the chapter, then the prince would not live in his shadow for the rest of his life. I'm afraid I'll die sooner or later. ”

Empress dowager? Watching the concerto? Hou Guoxing, who was anxious, heard Wang An's self-talk, and suddenly his heart lit up, how could he forget her! Thinking of this, Hou Guoxing pulled Wang An and asked:

"Gonggong Li, may I ask why this Qianqing Palace is controlled by this Li Jinzhong?"

"When is it all right, Hou Gongzi still cares about this? The emperor originally sent the inner treasury to reward the three armies, but the Wei Dynasty did not return the silver, and Li Jinzhong temporarily led the Qianqing Palace! Wang Anxin was so anxious that he didn't have any good words for Hou Guoxing for a while.

Hou Guoxing didn't care about Wang An's attitude towards him at this time, and asked again:

"Then Concubine Zheng Guifei has been in the harem for many years, and without her acquiescence, this Li Jinzhong is afraid that he can't do anything, right?"

Hearing Hou Guoxing's reminder, Wang An's eyes lit up and asked:

"Hou Gongzi refers to Zheng Guifei behind his back?" Thinking of the possibility of this matter, Wang An was even more anxious, and said to himself:

"How is this good, a Li Chang Shi is already so difficult to deal with? With the addition of Zheng Guifei, is this matter really irreparable. ”

"Did the prince believe it?" Seeing Wang An, who had no master of the six gods, Hou Guoxing could only fight by himself.

"Why did Hou Gongzi say this, the prince regards Mrs. Ke as his mother and you as his brother, our family is loyal to the prince in his heart, and of course he will not treat you as an outsider!"

"Good! Then let's take a gamble! My father-in-law will go with me to meet that Concubine Zheng. ”

(Note: Red Pill Case: In the forty-eighth year of Wanli (1620), Emperor Taichang was seriously ill, and Li Kezhuo offered red pills and claimed to be an elixir.) Emperor Taichang died after being served. Some people suspected that Zheng Guifei instigated the poisoning, and immediately launched a series of actions to track down the culprit. During this period, party strife and personal enmity were mixed in, and there were many people who died in a row. And Emperor Taichang inherited the throne for a whole month. On the same day, the first assistant party rewarded Li Kezhuo, who offered the red pill from Zhe's will. This court case caused by the "Red Pill" is known as the "Red Pill Case" in history)
