Chapter 853: Revealing the Background
Not long after, under the surprised gaze of the civil and military ministers of the Taihe Palace, the guards of Juyong Pass with helmets and armor rushed in violently, and quickly controlled the situation in the main hall.
Seeing this situation, the bannermen and other pro-army guards and Xiaowu army sergeants in the hall quickly gathered under the high platform in front of the main hall, protected the Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Sun and the "Prince" on the high platform, and pressed their hands on the handle of the waist knife to confront those Juyong Pass defenders expressionlessly.
The ministers in the palace suddenly panicked, even when Emperor Yongle did not surround the Taihe Palace, the reason is very simple, when the Yongle Emperor entered the city, except for a few courtiers loyal to Emperor Jianwen, other officials in the city went to take refuge, so there was no need to make a big move in the Taihe Palace.
"Presumptuous, what do you want to do?" Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the panicked ministers in the hall, slapped the armrest of the seat hard, and shouted at the Juyong guards who rushed into the hall.
"Empress Dowager Qi, the ministers and others entered the palace to support King Yue to ascend the throne, so as not to fall into the Ming Dynasty." A general of the Juyong Pass garrison who led the team bowed to Empress Dowager Zhang when he heard this, and said respectfully.
Empress Dowager Zhang is the biological mother of King Yue, so how dare those Juyong Pass guards be disrespectful to Empress Dowager Zhang, no matter how you say it, the two are also a family.
"Ridiculous, the new emperor's accession to the throne is a major event in the court, when will it be your turn to worry, and you won't give the mourning family a retreat!" Empress Dowager Zhang sneered when she heard this, and pointed at the Juyong guard and scolded him loudly.
"If the minister dies, I hope the queen mother will forgive her sins." Hearing this, the Juyong guard quickly knelt down, touched his head to the ground and said in fear, but he did not order the Juyong guards in the hall to retreat.
"Come on, please go down and rest for the queen mother, queen and crown prince." King Yue knew that Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Sun and the crown prince were not suitable to stay here in the future, so he ordered in a deep voice that he didn't want them to wait for the bloody scene of Mudu, and that there were ministers who died for the loyalty of the imperial power in all dynasties, which meant that he had to kill and eradicate those who hindered his accession to the throne.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" Surprisingly, it was not the Juyong Pass garrison who came to invite Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Sun and the crown prince, but Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Qianhu Lu Kun.
In the crowd, Wei Xin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, looked at Lu Kun in surprise, he finally understood why Ah Qiu was able to blend into the Jinyi Guard guard team in the palace, it turned out that Lu Kun made a fool of it, it seems that Lu Kun took refuge in King Yue when he didn't know.
"Ah Qiu, do you have to make Da Ming lose face for personal revenge?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the main hall, and Fang Liang shouted at Ah Qiu.
This immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked up, listening to Fang Liang's tone, he seemed to know some hidden secrets.
"Personal vendetta?" Ah Qiu didn't expect Fang Liang to still bite himself tightly at this time, and after frowning slightly, he said, "Lord Fang, this official doesn't understand what you mean. ”
"The official knows your details, do you say it yourself or will the official announce it?" Fang Liang was definitely not an idle person to stand out among the thirty Ji Jishi, he sneered and glared at Ah Qiu and said.
"Lord Fang, your words are getting more and more incomprehensible, what reason do you want to make up to confuse people's minds?" A disdainful smile flashed across the corners of Ah Qiu's mouth, he didn't think that Fang Liang knew his identity, he thought he was just bluffing.
"You are the second son of the Weiguo Mansion, and Lu Tianxing, who once served as the experience of the Houjun Governor's Mansion!" Fang Liang saw Ah Qiu's contemptuous look, stared at him coldly, and said word by word.
The smile on Ah Qiu's face immediately froze when he heard this, and he looked at Fang Liang in shock, he never expected Fang Liang to know his identity, you must know that when he left the capital eight years ago, Fang Liang had not yet been moved, and he had never been to the capital at all.
"He is the second son of Duke Weiguo?"
"The second son of the Weiguo Mansion is very different from this person!"
"Lu Tianxing, we have all met, how can he be Lu Tianxing?"
……
Fang Liang's words suddenly caused a commotion in the Taihe Palace, when the Han King rebelled, Lu Zhongqian's prestige was second only to Zhang Fu, so many people are no strangers to Lu Tianxing, some nobles still watched him grow up and are very familiar with him, in their opinion, Ah Qiu and Lu Tianxing are completely two people.
Moreover, after quelling the rebellion of King Han, although Lu Tianxing's body could not be found, there were rumors that he had died in the rebellion, how could he suddenly become one of the three prefects of the Privy Council of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?
If it weren't for Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Zhenguo, who was blocked in Zhending Mansion, then the King of Han would have defeated the official army led by Emperor Xuande after receiving the support of Lu Zhongqian, and the King of Han did not have to take the risk of sneaking up on the capital, but was blocked by Li Yuntian in Heiniu Town, and then the elite was lost, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
Lu Zhongqian did not flee after the Han King surrendered to Emperor Xuande, nor did he surrender to the imperial court, but chose to commit suicide, and his family was also missing and missing.
Who would have thought that after eight years, the civil and military officials in the court would be able to see Lu Tianxing, who was rumored to be dead, in the Taihe Palace?
"Lord Fang, what you say, this official doesn't understand at all." Ah Qiu, or Lu Tianxing is more precise, quickly recovered from the shock and said calmly.
"You'll understand." Fang Liang had already realized from Lu Tianxing's previous reaction that he was right, the person in front of him with the pseudonym Ah Qiu was the second son of the Weiguo Mansion, and he suddenly admired Li Yuntian in his heart, and then said with a sneer.
The reason why Fang Liang knew the details of Lu Tianxing was naturally told by Li Yuntian, and the previous qiē was also done according to Li Yuntian's orders, and its purpose was to expose the relationship between the King of Han and Lu Tianxing.
"Come on, push this nonsense guy out of the noon gate and cut it down!" King Yue had already been angered by Fang Liang at this time, and at the same time felt a trace of panic, he never thought that this secret, which was originally known only to him and Lu Tianxing, would be known by Fang Liang, so he pointed at Fang Liang angrily and shouted.
Several Jinyi guards closest to Fang Liang immediately took out the embroidered spring knives on their waists and rushed towards Fang Liang with a fierce momentum, and at the same time, the Xiaowu army guarding under the high platform quickly stepped forward to protect Fang Liang and Chen Tianlei behind them, and also pulled out the embroidered spring knives to confront those brocade guards, and more than a dozen embroidered spring knives shining with cold light were aimed at each other.
The situation in the main hall was suddenly detonated by this small episode, only the sound of drawing knives was heard, and the sergeants loyal to the prince and the sergeants loyal to the king of Yue drew their swords one after another, and the already tense atmosphere was frozen in an instant due to the close confrontation between the two sides, and the atmosphere was so depressed that it was suffocating.
"Escort the Queen Mother, the Empress and the Crown Prince away!" King Yue's brows furrowed, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he ordered in a deep voice, wanting to let Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Sun and her party leave.
If Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Sun and others insisted on not leaving, then King Yue would have no choice but to kill in front of them and eliminate those who did not obey him.
"King Yue, Emperor Daxing left an edict for a minister in the court, can you let this palace announce it here." To everyone's surprise, as soon as King Yue's words fell, Queen Sun said loudly, "After this holy decree is read, the palace will return to Kunning Palace with the crown prince." ”
"Queen!" Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned when she heard this, could it be that Empress Sun wanted the crown prince to give up the throne? couldn't help but look at Empress Sun a little anxiously.
The ministers in the main hall shook their heads secretly, it was obvious that Queen Sun was forced to make this choice, after all, now the prince has the absolute upper hand, once a conflict breaks out, the prince will have to worry about his life, so it is better to leave this place of right and wrong and return to Kunning Palace, at least this can save the prince's life.
However, everyone was very curious about the edict in Empress Sun's mouth, and they all wanted to know which minister Emperor Xuande gave the last holy decree to the court.
"Queen, please!" Although King Yue was a little surprised, he was now in control of the overall situation, so he was not afraid of Emperor Xuande's edict, and quietly made a gesture to the queen to please.
"Taishi, you are the head of the hundred officials, and you will read this holy decree." When Empress Sun saw that King Yue agreed, her eyes couldn't help but flash a bright light, and she pretended to be calm and said to Zhang Fu.
"The minister will obey the decree." Hearing this, Zhang Fu bowed to Empress Sun and agreed loudly, no one in the Manchu Dynasty was higher in rank than him.
Following Empress Sun's signal, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace stepped down from the high platform and handed over a holy decree to Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu got up and walked to the front of the high platform, and opened the holy decree in his hand facing the civil and military officials in the main hall.
"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: After investigation, Zhenguo Gong is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and I am wrongfully imprisoned because of misheard slander, and every time I recall this matter, I am heartbroken. As the old saying goes, if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark, and I hope that the prince will remember this in the future......"
Under the gaze of the ministers in the palace, Zhang Fuhong read out the content of the holy decree, and everyone knew that Emperor Xuande's edict was actually given to Li Yuntian, and from the words used, Emperor Xuande seemed to regret the fact that he had previously believed in Fang Liang and caused Li Yuntian to be imprisoned for the arquebus case in the Bafang Warehouse.
But it's too late to regret it now, Li Yuntian has now died in the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, otherwise with Li Yuntian's ability, he will definitely be able to see the tricks of King Crossing and Ah Qiu, I'm afraid this is why Ah Qiu and King Yue want to get rid of Li Yuntian first.
The so-called drink and peck have a certain number, Emperor Xuande has paid the price for the wrong decision to favor Fang Liang, and the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty will change again after the Jingyan Change.
“…… Since I ascended the throne, the Duke of Zhenguo has pacified the army and the people, opened up the territory and defended the territory, and has made outstanding achievements, and has been blessed with the grace of God......" Zhang Fu suddenly paused there slightly after reading a cliché, his eyes showed a look of disbelief, and he looked at the edict in his hand with a shocked face, looking a little hard to believe.
Seeing this situation, the civil and military officials in the main hall who were staring at Zhang Fu showed suspicious expressions on their faces, not knowing what the holy decree said would make Zhang Fu lose his temper so much.
Looking at Zhang Fu, who looked stunned, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of Empress Sun's mouth, and even Zhang Fu, who was old and stable, was frightened by the news of Li Yuntian's "resurrection from the dead", so don't mention others.
A suspicious look appeared on King Yue's face, and in his impression, Zhang Fu, who had experienced vicissitudes of life, could be said to have achieved "joy and anger", and couldn't help but be curious about what the holy decree said next.
Lu Tianxing's brows furrowed slightly, although he didn't know the content of the holy decree, he keenly found that Empress Su's expression was very relaxed, and it didn't look like she was in a predicament at all, which made him have no reason to mention it, and he had an ominous premonition, could it be that Empress Sun had prepared some unknown killer move?
"I was able to escape the catastrophe of the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion by the grace of God, and I was very emotional, so I asked the public official of Zhenguo to be reinstated, and presented the will of God to entitle him as the king of Zhongwu, the prince and the prince, in order to assist the prince in governing the country and the society, and create a glorious and prosperous era of my Ming generation. Chin this! ”
Zhang Fu quickly recovered from the shock, took a deep breath and steadied his mind, read the contents of the holy decree aloud under the expectation of everyone, and then slowly closed the holy decree.
The Taihe Hall was silent for an instant, including King Yue and Lu Tianxing, everyone was stunned by the last few words of the holy decree, and looked at Zhang Fu in amazement, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
If they heard correctly, Emperor Xuandeok meant that Li Yuntian had escaped the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, but how was this possible? R1148
