Chapter 6 No one can stop you
Time is lost inadvertently, and the next riddle is spent in pretending to be sick. Every time the imperial doctor came to check Ye Xiang's pulse, Ye Xiang used a rope to tie the armpit only. The imperial doctor couldn't find out what was wrong, so what Ye Xiang said was what, as for whether they suspected it or not, it had nothing to do with Ye Xiang.
Time passed day by day, August 10, and Ye Xiang got up very early in the morning. At this time, Ye Xiang was lying on a rocking chair in the yard, and next to him was Li Lan, who was feeding Ye Xiang grapes, and Li Jinzhong was standing behind Ye Xiang.
Glancing back at Li Jinzhong, Ye Xiang said a little weakly: "What have the people in the palace been busy with recently?" ”
Li Jinzhong glanced at his master, he didn't know why these highness the crown prince's health was not good, and he was very anxious in his heart. Although he took refuge in Li Xuanzhi, the person in front of him is his future!
Hearing the prince's question, Li Jinzhong said flatteringly: "Back to Your Highness, there are no special things in the palace these days, and they are all trivial things that will not disturb Your Highness's ears." ”
Ye Xiang smiled lightly, waved his hand at Li Lan to signal her not to move, and gently closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing that the prince didn't speak, Li Jinzhong looked at Li Lan inquiringly, and when he saw that the other party shook his head slowly, he also nodded lightly.
Li Jinzhong didn't know, but Ye Xiang knew that today Concubine Zheng Guifei would give Emperor Taichang a big gift, a big gift that was enough to kill him. Eight beautiful women, Emperor Taichang did not live up to Concubine Zheng's expectations, and even luckily several people did not get up the next morning.
As a person in the 21st century, Ye Xiang clearly knew that Emperor Taichang had passed the time when he could be seven times a night, and he could not be seven times. But if he did it, there was only one situation in which he took medicine, and it might be the world's first miracle medicine Qi Yin Hehuan San.
Smiling slightly, Ye Xiang knew that he was one step closer to that position, not to dominate the world but to save his life. Emperor Taichang was a weak emperor, and he was basically obedient to Li Xuanzhi. At this time, Li Xuanzhi should have formed an alliance with Zheng Guifei, if Emperor Taichang does not die, then Ye Xiang, the prince, will always be the prince, once he can't obey Li Xuanzhi's will, then Ye Xiang's fate is only an unexplained violent death.
That night, a palace maid walked into the Qianqing Palace with eight beautiful women, and the outside of the Qianqing Palace was guarded by two hundred brocade guards, and no one was allowed to approach.
Two days later, it came to August 12, and on this day there was a news in the palace, a news that everyone did not expect, that Emperor Taichang was going to crown Zheng Guifei as the queen mother. For Zheng Guifei, all the ministers in the court know that this is the favorite concubine of Emperor Wanli, not an ordinary favor, but the crown of the six palaces. For decades, wrapping the heart of an emperor around himself is enough to see the unusualness of this woman.
In fact, the Wanli Dynasty can be divided into two periods, the first is the period when Zhang Juzheng was in power, that is, the first ten years. During this period, there was only one thing that ran through the entire Ming Dynasty, and that was to change the law and innovate. But in the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng died, and this virtuous minister never thought that his obedient student would counterattack after his death. Then from the tenth year of Wanli is another period of the Wanli Dynasty, and the tone throughout the entire period is one, that is, to fight for the country. In the ten years after the Wanli decade, the Wanli Emperor and the ministers held their own opinions and quarreled with each other.
The empress of the Wanli Emperor was surnamed Wang, although she was divided into queens, she failed to give birth to a son for the Wanli Emperor, and Wanli had no sons-in-law. Then according to the inheritance system in ancient times, there is only a long or virtuous person. One of Wanli's concubines, Wang Cairen, gave birth to a son, who was later Emperor Taichang, and this eldest son was supported by all the ministers. Wanli's favorite concubine Zheng Guifei also gave birth to a son, who was later killed by Li Zicheng and boiled with a deer into Fulu soup.
Because of his love for Concubine Zheng Guifei, the Wanli Emperor wanted to make King Fu the crown prince, so this battle for the country's capital was protracted. However, the Wanli Emperor failed to win the war in the end, and the Emperor also had his own way of fighting, and the Wanli Emperor did not go to court for the next thirty years. Thirty years without going out of the palace, ignoring the government, not suburbs, no temples, no courts, not seeing, not criticizing, not talking, in this struggle for the country played the heaviest role is this Zheng Guifei.
For Emperor Taichang, this Zheng Guifei should be an enemy who does not share the sky, and after ascending the throne, it is already very face-saving to not quietly kill her, and she actually has to be named the queen mother. Many of the ministers who stood in the court were the main force fighting for the country back then, but they didn't expect that the masters they supported would eventually become friends with the enemy, so where were they placed?
On August 14, things did not change in the slightest, and they continued to move forward according to Ye Xiang's prediction, and Emperor Taichang was very sick. Ye Xiang knew that a big thing would happen today, Emperor Taichang would ask someone to treat him, but that person was not a physician but a eunuch, Li Lan and Cui Wensheng, the master of ceremonies. This personal eunuch of Concubine Zheng Guifei, her confidant is a Mongolian doctor in history.
Cui Wensheng would prescribe a pair of laxatives to Emperor Taichang, and then Emperor Taichang's illness became more and more serious, that is, at this time, the ministers outside had quarreled about the affairs of the Queen Mother, and finally someone stood up, this person was Yang Lian.
Yang Lian, the word Wenru, the number Dahong, Huguang Yingshan people, Wanli thirty-five years of Jinshi. He is often familiar with the county, and later appointed the household department to the middle of the matter, and the military department to the middle of the matter. This is Yang Lian's resume at this time, a small official, in the Ming Dynasty, a small one can't be in a small official. It was this petty official who he wrote, and he angrily reprimanded Emperor Taichang. After theorizing with the emperor, Zheng Guifei cannot be named the queen mother.
As this recital was played, the ministers of the court also began their own attacks, perhaps because of pressure or because Emperor Taichang suddenly woke up.
On August 22, Emperor Taichang issued an order to drive out Cui Wensheng, and at the same time withdrew the holy decree of canonizing Zheng Guifei as the empress dowager.
At this time, Ye Xiang was still pretending to be sick, it seemed that what happened in front of him had nothing to do with him, looking at the sunset not far away, Ye Xiang's heart was very quiet and peaceful. At this time, no one would have thought that Ye Xiang, Concubine Zheng Guifei and Li Xuanzhi should have lost their temper in the queen mother and queen mother.
Although the matter has not yet found Ye Xiang's body, Ye Xiang knows that he will not be able to be so leisurely soon, thinking about what is about to happen, Ye Xiang's heart suddenly sneered.
Looking at the sun that was about to set, Ye Xiang's heart was slightly strange, this huge dynasty was just like this sun, and it was thin and westward. The sun will still rise tomorrow, but what about this dynasty? Is there a way out? What is the way out?;
