Chapter 750: The Hakka Clan Leaves the Palace
readx; When he came to the court again the next day, Zhu Youzhen's mood was uneasy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It has been a day and two nights since he received the news from the flying pigeon; Add in the time it takes for the pigeons to fly, and it's almost two full days. In the rapid march, because the location was constantly changing, of course, it was impossible to use flying pigeons to pass the book, so Zhu Youzhen didn't know where the Qin soldiers went.
If Qin Bing could really rush to the capital division in six days, then there were only four days left before the showdown. In these four days, I don't know what will happen, can I manage to control the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the four guards in the palace? So far, all this is unknown.
Therefore, although Zhu Youzhen pretended to listen carefully to Huang Liji and other cabinet ministers to report on the preparations for the funeral of the Apocalypse, he was actually confused and did not listen to a word. When the ministers saw that the emperor was in a state of disarray, they thought that he had been devastated last night, and not only laughed in their hearts.
Just as this so-called "court recital" was proceeding step by step, the eunuch Wang Tiqian, the master of ceremonies, suddenly hurriedly entered the hall and said: "Long live the lord, the queen mother has issued a decree!" ”
Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, hurriedly got down from the throne, and knelt on the ground respectfully. The ministers didn't know what was going on, so they had to fall to their knees.
Wang Tiqian unfolded a scroll and read aloud: "Xuan Empress Dowager's decree!" The first emperor dragon drove Bintian, mourning the family and not wanting to live, and only wanted to follow the first emperor underground. Emperor Nai Yingzong has an edict that no one is allowed to be martyred again. The mourning family did not dare to violate the ancestral system, and only by going out of the palace to cut their hair as a nun, chanting and praying for the emperor and His Majesty day and night, could they reduce their sorrow a little. I implore Your Majesty and the ministers to choose the temple, and the mourning family will leave the palace immediately. This edict. ”
There was a commotion among the ministers, and no one could have imagined that the Queen Mother would not sit in a noble seat and go to be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha. Only Zhu Youzhen knew that she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself in order to bring down Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and she couldn't help but be moved to tears blurring her eyes; At the same time, somehow, there is also a voice in her heart asking: Is she closing herself off in this way and deliberately avoiding herself?
And several eunuch members reacted immediately. Wei Zhongxian hated Empress Zhang to the core, how did they not know; Now that the Queen Mother has taken the initiative to leave the palace as a nun, of course they are celebrating with a crown, and they wish to let the Queen Mother leave immediately.
Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of Taichang Temple, immediately went out and said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty should follow the order of the Queen Mother. I rule the world with filial piety, and now the Queen Mother is grieving, Your Majesty must not disobey her will, otherwise the Queen Mother will become ill, and Your Majesty will regret it too late! As for the place where the queen mother became a monk, the minister thought that she could choose the Tanzhe Temple sixty miles southwest of Beijing. Its place is backed by Baozhu Peak, the scenery is beautiful, quiet and elegant, and it is suitable for the Queen Mother's Qing Xiu. ”
Yang Jingchen, another important minister of the eunuch party and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also said pretendedly: "Although Wenhuan's performance is cut, Tanzhe Temple is a monk's temple..."
"It's okay to take all the monks away!" Tian Ergeng, the governor of Jinyi Weidu, shouted recklessly, "The minister is willing to follow His Majesty's holy decree and rush to Tanzhe Temple to expel the monks now, and the Queen Mother can move the palace tomorrow!" ”
Dozens of ministers in the palace also chimed in. Although Zhu Youzhen was full of grief and indignation, he also knew that if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, and besides, this was proposed by the Queen Mother herself, and there was no suitable excuse for him not to comply. After pondering again and again, Zhu Youzhen had to pretend to be indifferent and said: "According to the performance of the Zhongqing, according to the order of the Queen Mother, Tanzhe Temple was chosen as the place of practice." ”
As soon as the words fell, before the eunuch ministers had time to praise, a person outside the hall stood up sharply and shouted to Zhu Youzhen in the air: "Your Majesty! The queen mother is out of the palace, and Mrs. Fengsheng should leave the palace, and she can't delay it for a moment! ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at each other in amazement, and saw that it was Lu Chengyuan, the director of the Ministry of Industry. Although the people in the eunuch party glared at him angrily, they were all speechless, because they really couldn't find a reason to refute him.
Zhu Youzhen secretly thought that this opportunity to fight the eunuchs was bought by Empress Zhang sacrificing herself, and she couldn't miss or retreat no matter what, otherwise what face would she have to see Empress Zhang again?
So he immediately spoke: "Master Lu is reasonable, then arrange for the Queen Mother and Mrs. Fengsheng to leave the palace on the same day." ”
Dozens of eunuchs never expected that the situation would take such a sharp turn, how could they explain to Wei Zhongxian? But the emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, and if he disobeys the order and refutes, there is no suitable excuse for the time being, and secondly, it is too bad for the emperor to save face, which is inconsistent with the strategy of "stabilizing the emperor" ordered by Wei Zhongxian. So they had to fall to their knees and accept this sudden reality!
Not long after, Wang Tiqian came to report again: "The queen mother's meaning, she has already packed her bags, and she is going to leave the palace now." ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that Empress Zhang was so resolute, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so he said in a deep voice after a while: "I don't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's intentions." But the queen mother doesn't have to lose her hair, and she just needs to practice with her hair. ”
Wang Tiqian took the order and left, and after half a moment, suddenly there was a noise outside the hall, and there was a faint sound of crying. Everyone was stunned, and a woman with a disheveled hair suddenly broke into the hall, slapped the ground and cried: "First Emperor, why did you die so ruthlessly!" The first emperor is gone, and the old body can't live! …”
Zhu Youjian looked at it, it was the Hakka family! Compared with more than two years ago, she is much older, and her face is distorted from crying, which makes her even more hideous and ugly.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be furious when he thought that this woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion dared to cause Empress Zhang to have a miscarriage, and even framed herself naked, trying to make the apocalypse slash himself with a sword in a fit of rage. Seeing the Hakka splashing and rolling, Zhu Youzhen knew that she was here to make the last struggle, and how could he be polite to her! Immediately pretended not to know, "Who is this crazy woman?" I'm scared to death! ”
The British Gong Zhang Weixian had been silent in the court just now, and finally couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and shouted to the Hakka family: "Duh! You are a civil wife, the first emperor has been extremely courteous to you, and you are not satisfied, how dare you come to the court to make noise? You have been shocked, if you don't obey the edict and leave the palace quickly, don't blame this father for being ruthless! ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture to kick the Keshi. The Hakka family used to be honored as "Mrs. Ancestor" in the palace, and she has always been high-flying, and the ministers have to kneel down to worship when they see it, but this Zhang Weixian doesn't take her in his eyes, and the Hakka family is also most afraid of him. Now seeing that the ministers are like wood carvings and clay sculptures, Zhang Weixian is going to beat himself again, and the Hakka family knows that his decision to leave the palace cannot be changed, so he has to cry bitterly and flee.
As soon as the Hakka family left, dozens of ministers in the hall and hundreds of courtiers outside the hall had their own thoughts, but they were silent, and no one dared to challenge Zhu Youzhen's decision. Zhang Weixian smiled when he saw it, and said out of class: "The minister saw that the saint dragon was emaciated, and he thought it was because the diet in the palace was not appetizing. The original palace chef is in Beijing, why not be summoned into the palace? ”
Cui Chengxiu and other eunuchs felt inappropriate when they heard it, but when they saw that Zhang Weixian even dared to kick the Hakka just now, they were so shocked by his momentum that they didn't dare to come out. Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, so he got off the donkey and said: "I have already had this intention, since the British public concert is invited, then it will be played!" ”
