Zhang Ke stepped forward, not to mention Zhu Youzhen, even the civil and military forces present were startled, no one knew what the situation was in the palace. It is not impossible to rush in, and it is not impossible to get a different head, it has always been the most dangerous to change the dynasty, and at this time it is even more dangerous.

Hong Fuyi and Wei Guangwei glanced at each other, and the two of them came out almost at the same time.

"Yongzhen, I have worked in the Ministry of Rites before as a teacher, so let's accompany the prince into the palace for my teacher." Hong Fuyi bit the word "for the teacher" very hard, and the meaning of blame is self-evident.

As for Wei Guangwei, he was full of bitterness, he used to be Lao Wei's person, and now he is allied with Zhang Ke, if Zhang Ke really has three longs and two shorts, with what he has done in the past, Yanguan can tear him apart lightly.

"King Anton, the old man is the first assistant, accompanying the prince into the palace to serve the sick, it is justified, and please don't rob the prince."

Zhang Ke shook his head and smiled: "Yuan Weng, the overall situation of the DPRK and the central government still needs you and all the adults present to support you, Xiao Wang is disabled and useless, just accompany His Royal Highness into the palace." According to Xiao Wang, Gonggong Wei is His Majesty's confidant, and no place in the world is as safe as the palace. Grandpa Wei, don't you say? ”

Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth secretly, he really didn't want to deal with Zhang Ke, but he just came in again! But that's okay, Zhang Ke enters the palace, which is equivalent to a tiger entering a cage, and how to deal with it is at his mercy. If it is really put outside, with Zhang Ke's ability to toss, he is really not at ease.

"Hehe, King Anton can trust the old slave, the old slave is very honored, the holy bow is sick, just believe that His Royal Highness and King Anton enter the palace."

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he turned around and led the way, and several Han generals ran over, took Zhu Youzhen's sedan chair, and were about to carry it to the palace.

"Slow!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand at Zhang Ke and said, "King Anton is not in good health, and he can't bear to follow him on foot in the cold weather." Please also allow King Anton to ride in a sedan chair with Lonely. ”

Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment and nodded, Zhang Ke pretended to be sick for so long, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only sit in the sedan chair. The Han general lifted the sedan chair and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and when the sedan chair entered, the noon gate was closed again, leaving only the stunned officials.

"Alas. Yuan Weng, how can you let King Anton enter the palace! If Wei Gelding has any evil intentions and there is no King Anton in charge, what can we do? Song Quan said remorsefully.

Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan came out to help speak, and snorted: "Since you are worried, why didn't you say it just now?" Aren't the six branches able to refute the holy decree? ”

Song Quan's face turned red when he was asked, and he lowered his head silently.

Wei Guangwei sighed and said, "Everyone, for the sake of today. Only believe in King Anton, believe that the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty have spirits in the sky! ”

……

"Zhang Aiqing, look?"

In the sedan chair, Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale. I couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Ke smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for him not to speak. Zhu Youzhen was even more worried in his heart, and secretly pointed to the outside of the sedan chair. That means be careful that the partition wall has ears.

Zhang Ke shook his head imperceptibly, pointed to his mouth, and made a silent motion. Zhu Youzhen is not a fool either. After thinking about it for a while, I understood what Zhang Ke meant, which was to tell him not to say much.

Indeed, at this time, the best choice is to keep your mouth shut, say more measures, say less and less wrong, and don't say good!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Zhang Ke. The people who lead the troops to fight are different from the civilian officials, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that except for Zhang Ke, there is no one who can stay calm at this time!

I don't know how long I walked, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and I only heard Wei Zhongxian's voice outside.

"Slave and maid, please believe in His Royal Highness!"

The dumpling curtain opened, Zhang Ke walked out first, and Zhu Youzhen followed closely behind, following in unison.

When they got outside, they knew that they had come to the front of the Qianqing Palace. Looking around the palace gate, I saw that all the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids were all wearing a white cloth, and there were tears on their faces.

In an instant, Zhu Youzhen's body shook and almost fell to the ground.

"What, Father-in-law Wei, is it the imperial brother?"

Wei Zhongxian touched his head to the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has just died!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ke, only to see that he had fallen to the ground, howling and crying bitterly.

Get!

Follow along!

Zhu Youzhen knelt on the cold steps and cried loudly.

"Brother Huang, the country of the Ming Dynasty can't do without you, and the ministers can't do without you, why did you leave your ancestors' foundation! My brother's heart hurts, it hurts! ”

Not to mention, Zhu Youzhen has the qualifications to be an actor, tears are like tap water, a strong stream, as if it is really a brotherhood, crying to the sad place, choked in a voice, and almost fainted.

Zhang Ke secretly gave a thumbs up, tonight's best actor, Zhu Youzhen!

Wei Zhongxian cried a few times at first, but gradually Zhu Youzhen didn't stop, and Zhang Ke was also shedding tears. Old Wei almost fainted.

Do you think this is an ordinary family that has died? There are a lot of things inside and outside the palace, what can crying solve!

"King Anton, persuade the prince, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and many important things are waiting for the prince!"

Zhang Ke wiped his tears and said: "Father-in-law Wei, the saint is in the sun, and the most trusted is the father-in-law, who must have explained what happened after his death, we just listen." ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "That's right, Sen Sen, the leader of the Lone King, I don't know why, what arrangements does Gonggong Wei have, the Lone King must obey." ”

Seeing these two people so obedient, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, and King Anton, please follow the old slave into the palace, there are a few things to start."

Zhu Youzhen secretly glanced at Zhang Ke, only to see that Zhang Ke had no expression, he immediately followed Wei Zhongxian with confidence, and the three of them entered the Qianqing Palace and walked to the front of the dragon bed.

Apocalypse was still lying on the bed at this time, a small withered face with a terrible blue-gray color, and his body was completely stiff, like a piece of dead wood.

Seeing the corpse, Zhu Youfu went to his heart, lay on the ground, knelt in front of the dragon bed, and cried loudly. Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but accompany him, but he suffocated the nine thousand years old who was talking in a stomach.

Finally, Zhu Youzhen's voice weakened, and he lay on the ground and kept sobbing. Wei Zhongxian finally had a chance to speak.

"Your Royal Highness, the slave and maid, in the second half of the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, long live the master, ascend to heaven!"

Zhu Youzhen was shocked, according to common sense. When the emperor died, he should have notified the ministers as soon as possible, and Wei Zhongxian actually blocked the Forbidden City, which shows his ill intentions. The future emperor is more and more jealous of the nine thousand years old, but Zhang Ke has explained, and he is silent.

Wei Zhongxian didn't know what King Xin was thinking, so he could only stubbornly say: "Lord Qi, the reason why the old slave braved the world's disapproval and blockaded the Forbidden City is really because there is another hidden reason for His Majesty's death?" ”

"What?" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but speak.

"Grandpa Wei. Are you saying that the royal brother was killed? ”

Wei Zhongxian looked embarrassed, but still nodded reluctantly: "That's right." ”

"Who is it?"

"Yes, it's the Queen!"

"Impossible!" Zhu Youzhen jumped up, it is possible for anyone to frame the apocalypse, but the queen, a person like a fairy, how could she frame the apocalypse? What's more, she is the queen when the apocalypse is alive, what good is it for her to die in the apocalypse, it's just nonsense!

looked at Zhu Youzhen's sudden discoloration. Lao Wei's heart trembled, and sweat broke out from the corners of his forehead.

"Ahem, Lord Wang, Grandpa Wei categorically won't lie!" Zhang Ke spoke at this time. His gaze was filled with steadfastness.

"Lord Wang, you still listen to Grandpa Wei's words."

Under Zhang Ke's forced gaze, Zhu Youzhen sat down again.

Wei Zhongxian kowtowed and cried, "Lord Wang." The old slave is by no means talking nonsense, the master has been overly frightened since the explosion of Wang Gong's factory. The sick body is getting heavier and heavier, but it can barely support it. It's just that on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the queen came to visit, and said that she could get an elixir and bring the dead back to life, and her majesty agreed to take it, but after eating it, the third watch of the night vomited blood in her mouth, and she didn't know who was there, and she died without waiting for the imperial doctor to come! ”

Wei Zhongxian wiped his tears and continued: "His Majesty died suddenly, the queen could not escape the involvement, the harem has no owner, and the old slave really doesn't know what to do, so he can only order the Forbidden City to be temporarily closed and wait for the prince to come and decide. The old slave is loyal, every day can be expressed, if the prince does not believe it, the old slave is willing to die in front of the dragon bed. ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed to the ground, leaving hideous blood stains on the gold bricks.

Wei Zhongxian's hard-working performance, but in Zhu Youzhen's eyes, it is simply nonsense!

Let's not talk about whether Zhang Yan will kill the apocalypse, let's just say that Wei Zhongxian closed the Forbidden City, did not notify Zhu Youzhen at all, and also ordered his nephew to take over the Beijing camp, if it wasn't for Zhang Ke to come out, I'm afraid that Zhu Youzhen didn't know the situation in the palace at this time.

Zhu Youzhen had a heart attack, but Zhang Ke looked at him meaningfully, and could only suppress his anger.

"Father-in-law Wei's loyalty, King Gu has long heard Wang Daban say that the imperial brother died suddenly, Lone doesn't understand anything, what to do next, just listen to the father-in-law's arrangement."

Seeing Zhu Youzhen so wretched, I was a lot more relieved. After leveling the future emperor, only Zhang Ke was left with such a thorn, he turned to Zhang Ke and asked, "What does King Anton think?" ”

Zhang Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law Wei, with all due respect to Xiao Wang, it's not good that the Forbidden City has been sealed. The top priorities are two things, one is to handle the funeral for His Majesty, and the second is to prepare for the new monarch to ascend the throne. As for the cause of His Majesty's death, is it for the time being. Of course, it's not that they won't be investigated, and they will all be handed over to Grandpa Wei for disposal, what do you think, Lord Wang? ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "What King Anton has seen is very much, although the imperial brother has been in power for seven years, he reuses the virtuous, removes the traitorous party inside, and restores Liaodong outside, is wise and wise, and decisively makes holy decisions, so he should immediately go to the temple and the name." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Wei had no way to refute them, so he could only nod. The emperor's nickname must be drawn up by the scholars and the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Zhongxian could not trespass, so he could only order that Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji, two scholars, plus the scholars of the Ministry of Rites, enter the palace.

……

It didn't take long for the two scholars to come in with people, and when they saw the body of the apocalypse, they also cried bitterly. It's just that when they were crying, they peeked at Zhang Ke on the side, his face was as usual, and these people couldn't help but feel relieved.

It doesn't seem to be a Hongmen banquet, okay, just treat it as a dead dog in the family, cry hard!

If Apocalypse knew what these ministers thought, he was afraid that he would get up in anger and strangle them one by one.

Finally crying almost cried, Wei Guangwei stood up and said: "The sky and the earth are big, it is not as good as the second ceremony first, first set the two numbers of the Daxing Emperor, what do you think?" ”

Zai Fu is different from Eunuch Zhu in the end, Wei Zhongxian stared at the cause of death of the Apocalypse, and closed the Forbidden City, while the two pavilion elders went straight to the point, covering the coffin of Emperor Daxing, and preparing for the new army to ascend the throne, so it seems that governing the country is really inseparable from these civil officials.

Wu Zhijia, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, first said: "Your Majesty has enjoyed the country for seven years, the world is ruled by the arch, the sacred heart is ingenious, good at carpentry, and in the opinion of the minister, Xizong can be used!" ”

Xi, frolicking and playing, is by no means a good word. It is clear that the apocalypse loves carpenter work, wastes national politics, and is treacherous, and now he is dead in vain, so he gave such a word.

Zhang Ke listened on the side, and couldn't help but glance at the dragon bed. In the eyes of outsiders, the Apocalypse is indeed mediocre, but Zhang Ke knows that it is this seemingly absurd Son of Heaven who carefully maintains the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Central Plains to help the victims, the eradication of the Liukou, or the war outside the Guan, he has given great support.

If the apocalypse could live a few more days, the Ming might still be able to maintain it. Even if it is inevitable to lose the country, it cannot die in the hands of the Manchus.

Zhang Ke thought of this and said: "Although Xiao Wang does not understand etiquette, but he is in Liaodong to command the battle, the saint is worried about the battle situation all the time, and there has never been a shortage of food and salary. Moreover, all the princes here are the former ministers of the first emperor, and the little king has the courage to mention yì, and the temple number should use the word 'Gaozong'!
