Chapter 16: Two Women in the Forbidden City......
"Hehe, we are brothers, the so-called brothers work together, its profits are gold, if there is no three of my brothers to fight in the east and west for more than ten years, how can there be the prosperity of the thorn today." He also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead covertly, patted the strong shoulder of the king of the competition very kindly, turned his face and said: "The great tomorrow is a very useful thing for us, and we must not miss it in the slightest." The third brother is brave and resolute, but he is less cautious and calm, so I want to hand over the Ming Emperor to your second brother from Ming Tian, and your second brother will guard it. In addition......"
Boyan Timur listened to it frequently: "What the eldest brother said is right, but the younger brother still has an idea, it is best to find some ...... who have a life-and-death feud with the southerners."
The three heavyweights of the Tile Thorn let out a permeating laugh from time to time in the tent, like three poor ghosts who had just picked up a stack of hundred-dollar bills and were overjoyed.
--------------------
The general of the guards, Fan Zhong, knelt on the floor of the side hall, now wearing a brocade guard outfit, although he was still in good spirits, but the bandages looming in the cuffs and neckline seemed to remind everyone of the terrible ordeal he had experienced.
That night, he finally rushed to Huailai City in the torrential rain, and after that, after seeing the blood edict in Fan Zhong's arms, Sun Zhiwang, the general of Huailai, made the most correct decision as soon as possible.
First of all, he sent his henchmen and soldiers to the Beijing Division, and told his uncle that he was the grandfather of today's son, Sun Zhong, the father of the Empress Dowager Zheng, and the Son of Heaven was not dead, and he left the matter of passing on the throne. After that, a messenger was sent to the capital to inform him of the defeat of the imperial army in the battle of Tumubao in the court.
Although Sun Zhong was over sixty years old, he was still not confused, and he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately entered the palace to find the Empress Dowager Sun, and discussed the matter secretly.
"This thing was really given to you by His Majesty?" Over forty years old, but still very well maintained, Mrs. Sun, who did not show her old age, had a sad face, and her trembling hands seemed to be almost unable to sink the piece of cloth that was clearly torn from the emperor's dragon robe.
Although the handwriting written in blood was a little blurred by the rain, the Empress Dowager Sun could still read every word on it, and the seal on that side was stained with blood, and the Empress Dowager Sun recognized at a glance that it was from the imprint of the small seal that the emperor never left her body.
“…… So, Your Majesty is still alive? Empress Dowager Sun closed her eyes, held back the crystal that almost burst out of her eyes, and asked a question that she was most afraid of answering.
Although Fan Zhong was a brave general, it did not mean that he was clumsy, and he soon told the Empress Dowager Sun about the scene he had experienced.
"Why don't you go and save Your Majesty?" Just when Fan Zhong said everything, a woman rushed in from outside the hall and stood in front of Fan Zhong who was kneeling on the floor, her haggard and beautiful face actually looked a little hideous, and there was no lingering water wave in her wonderful eyes, and some were just the anger of the sky, she was the main room of Zhu Qizhen, the current queen Qian Yiniang.
Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice. "Queen, come and sit down beside the mourning family."
"But the queen mother ......" Qian Yiniang turned to look at the Empress Dowager Zheng, with a helpless and complaining face. Looking at the pear blossom rain-like Qian Yiniang, Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and she burst into tears. After all, he still reluctantly beckoned to Qian Yiniang. "Queen, the mourning family knows your intentions for Your Majesty, but now, it is not the time to lose your temper to have an effect."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Qian Yiniang held back her tears and sat down beside the Empress Dowager Sun.
"What did Your Majesty tell you about this blood edict?" Empress Dowager Sun took a deep breath and continued to ask Fan Zhong.
"The situation was urgent, and His Majesty didn't have time to say anything." Fan Zhong saw the expressions of the Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian, his heart moved, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty just hurriedly instructed Weichen, I hope that the Empress Dowager and the Empress take care of their health, he will not have to worry about his life, and there will be a period of meeting between the monarch and the minister, mother and son." ”
"Is that what Your Majesty really said?" Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but subconsciously stand up, with a look of urgency.
"Your Majesty did say so, and after Weichen hid, he saw that when King Saikan, the younger brother of the Taishi of Nava, rushed to the king, he was very courteous to His Majesty, and did not dare to have the slightest courtesy, it seems that His Majesty must have a great deal of confidence." Fan Zhong touched the ground with his head again, affirming the authenticity.
Hearing this, Queen Qian, who was already trembling, felt a sense of relief in her heart, and her body fell softly into the chair, so frightened that the personal maid next to her hurriedly supported her.
"Fan Zhong, you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and you are very comforted by the mourning family, but now the court is in chaos, and the country will be restless. Don't tell anyone about what you are talking about, you know? Empress Dowager Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally said such a thing.
"The Queen Mother can rest assured, Weichen will definitely not miss a word." Fan Zhong nodded vigorously and replied in a low voice. "But the Queen Mother, won't we save Your Majesty?"
"To save is to be saved, but it needs to be raised...... Okay, you go down first, someone will take you back, take care of your injuries, don't think about anything, later, there will be a time when you will be useful. ”
"Then Weichen will retire first, and I hope the queen mother and queen will take care." Fan Zhonghu left this unremarkable small hall with tears in his eyes, and quietly left the Forbidden City under the guidance of Empress Dowager Zheng's confidants.
"Alas, if Your Majesty had heard the words of the mourning family earlier, why would it be like this." Holding the blood edict, Empress Dowager Sun let out a long sigh faintly. Next to her, Queen Qian held the blood edict covered with Zhu Qizhen's private seal tightly in her hand, as if she was holding the rarest treasure in the world, and tears fell frequently like pearls.
Two women, one grieving for her son and the other weeping for her husband......
In the end, after discussing with Queen Qian, Empress Dowager Sun and Queen Qian decided to take out a batch of gold, silver and jewelry, and send someone to Yexian Camp, whether it can be exchanged for Zhu Qizhen or not, at least it can make Zhu Qizhen, an unlucky child, a little better.
The things that were full of two carts quietly sent out of the capital division from the center of Sun Zhong's mansion, and followed the footsteps of the first army.
