Chapter 234: Empress Zhang's Choice
The emperor was seriously ill, but Empress Zhang did not stay by his side to serve, and during this time, the queen only came to the emperor's bedroom once.
Even if the emperor was seriously ill, she did not think that she was at fault, and she would not blame her younger brother for the comments of a few poor people.
Taishan Dilong turned over, and the emperor vomited a mouthful of blood after getting the news, and his condition became even more serious.
At this time, the queen was not in a hurry to see her husband, but asked her henchmen to go out of the palace to find Shou Ninghou as soon as possible.
The courtyard where the Marquis of Shouning lived was surrounded by the people, and it took a lot of effort for the palace maid to enter the courtyard to see the Marquis of Shouning.
It's just that Shouning Hou is being watched all the time now, but it is not easy for him to leave the Hou Mansion, so he has no choice but to let the palace maid go to find Jian Changbo.
Soon after the palace maid entered the Earl's Palace, she galloped out of it on a fast horse.
The news that Li Tanhua was going to beg for rain for the emperor in Qintianjian spread far and wide.
On the day when Li Ling begged for rain, there was a sea of people outside the gate of Qintian Prison, and the people spontaneously gathered over.
Everyone is looking forward to Li Ling's success in praying for rain in order to alleviate the current drought.
"Li Tanhua, you must succeed, everyone is looking forward to the rain!"
"Li Tanhua, we are all waiting for your good news!".
The people followed Li Ling to the side of the altar. Everyone was expecting him to ask for nectar.
Li Ling waited on the altar under the gaze of everyone.
The west wind blew, and he felt a chill. Let's hope it's true.
The people in the audience knelt on the ground one after another, looking pious, hoping to help Li Ling.
The middle-aged man was also mixed in the crowd, but he didn't kneel, looking at Li Ling, who was sitting in a precarious position on the altar, his heart was full of disdain.
"Bunny, I'll see how you end up this time!". The middle-aged man didn't believe that Li Ling could ask for rain at all, this thing couldn't understand people, it could be on call?
After the surroundings calmed down, Li Ling took out the jade piece left by his mother from his body and put it on the altar!
The northwest gradually became gloomy, everyone felt a sultry heat, and experienced people had smiles on their faces.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and after a loud "boom" a white light flashed, and it began to pour rain in the sky.
"It's really raining!". The hearts of the common people were filled with shock. Looking up at Li Ling on the altar, his heart was full of awe.
They believe that Li Tanhua is a person who can communicate with the heavens.
The will of Heaven is at their side.
The middle-aged man clenched his teeth, his body couldn't stop shaking, his feet were weak, and he knelt down like the people around him.
He began to hate his cowardice in his heart.
When looking up at the altar, the middle-aged man saw an incredible scene: Li Ling picked up the jade piece and threw it into the air, and a bolt of lightning came down and shattered it!
"You". He couldn't believe his eyes, he attached so much importance to this jade piece, how could Li Ling not know its preciousness? How could this kid bear to destroy him?
Or did he simply use the power of jade tablets to get this rain?
When the thunder sounded, the emperor was also excited, and he got up from the bed with a "poof": "Zhao'er, tell the imperial dining room to prepare meals." I've been starving to death these days! ”。
The emperor directly asked the crown prince to prepare the meal, and asked the ministers to stay and enjoy it together, and the emperor's illness was cured.
Jian Changbo received his sister's order, and he rode a fast horse straight to Huguang.
Huguang is the residence of King Xing, the purpose of his visit is to summon King Xing into Beijing to be the emperor, as long as Xiaozong breathes, the queen will keep the other party as the emperor.
In the fifth year of Hongzhi, Xiaozong gave the daughter of the military general, Jiang, to his younger brother King Xing as a princess, and presided over a big wedding for him. On September 18 of the seventh year of Hongzhi, he went to Luzhou, Guang'an, Fanhu.
King Xing loved poetry and calligraphy, did not like to indulge in pleasures, and was keen on art and literature.
Empress Zhang had a brief contact with the couple, and she thought that King Xing's generosity and benevolence were more suitable than her son Zhu Houzhao to be the heir of the Ming Dynasty.
At first, King Xing was reluctant to enter Beijing, but he couldn't resist the repeated persuasion of Jian Changbo.
"Lord Wang, you have read so many historical classics, don't you want to show your strengths?"
Jian Changbo's words deeply stimulated King Xing, and the desires hidden in his heart were completely hooked out.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, King Xing returned to Beijing alone with Jianchangbo.
The two of them traveled all the way, and they both wanted to reach the capital division before the other vassal kings noticed it, and quickly determine the identity of the crown prince of Xing.
In just a few days, King Xing's mentality has changed greatly, especially after confirming that the emperor is seriously ill and Taishan Dilong has turned over, he gradually became proud.
All this is God's arrangement, I am the emperor's choice chosen by God, if not, how can things be so coincidental?
"Uncle Jianchang, I'd better find an inn to live in first, and when the matter is decided, I'll go to the palace to live!" King Xing politely refused Jian Changbo's invitation, and he had no intention of living in the other party's house at all.
The two brothers of the Zhang family are just scoundrels, the royal brother dotes on Queen Zhang, they have a little status, such two people still want to win themselves over? It's wishful thinking.
King Xing had already decided that as soon as he ascended the throne, he would send these two pranksters to the frontier.
"That's fine, it's better to stay in the inn and hide it, and wait until the overall situation is settled before making a decision!"
King Xing refused to give in, and Jian Changbo had to follow the other party's wishes.
Now that the eldest sister has made a decision, the eight achievements in front of him are the next emperor, and he doesn't want to embarrass the other party in this little matter.
It's just that when King Xing wanted to go to the inn to live, he ran into trouble, and now the palace test has just ended, and the Jinshi have not left the capital, and it is not easy to find an inn with a vacant room.
What annoyed the two even more was that there was an inn and a spacious courtyard, but it was not rented to King Xing to live in.
"This courtyard is where Li Huiyuan lived, and I don't plan to rent it out, so I'll let my grandson live in it after a while until he finishes the imperial examination!" The innkeeper said tepidly.
At the beginning, Li Ling was admitted to Huiyuan when he lived in this courtyard, and the boss hoped that his grandson could have a little luck and have a smooth ride in the imperial examination.
"Well, if you want to take the exam again, you only have to wait until three years later! When the time comes, it's not too late to let your grandson move in, you better let us live first, it's a big deal to give more silver! ”。 King Xing said arrogantly, getting closer and closer to the imperial power, and the tone of his voice was no longer humble.
"No, I won't agree to any amount of money, what if the feng shui is broken?". The innkeeper continued: "Besides, Li Tanhua is begging for rain now, doing a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, how can I move his yard at this time?" ”。
"Asking for rain? Do you think he will be able to come down in autumn? ”。 King Xing said disdainfully.
He is also a wealthy figure, so he naturally knows that the art of begging for rain is a trick of Taoist priests to deceive people.
The capital has been dry for a long time, how can he ask for rain.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a westerly wind blowing, and the northwest direction was overcast.
There was a thunderclap on the flat ground, and it was really raining.
"The emperor's dragon body is healthy, and the Ming Dynasty will last for generations!". A mighty and loud voice came from the palace, and the sound shook and roared.
King Xing sat on the ground with his buttocks, and his dream was completely bankrupt.
The Beijing routine is too deep, I want to go back to Huguang! (To be continued.) )
