In the main hall of the Shouhuang Palace, the coffin of Emperor Hongxi quietly stopped in front, Empress Zhang and the crown prince knelt on the futon in filial piety clothes, and behind them lined up Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu, Qian Yi, Zhou Zheng and Lu Zhongqian, who knelt to protect the Dharma for Emperor Hongxi. Where to chase novels, go quickly and read the Internet

Among them, Zhang Fu knelt in the center of the five people, which shows the dignity of his identity, the futon on his right side is empty, which is prepared for King Fu, who is the head of the clan, so he naturally has to kneel in the center of the front row.

In addition to Lu Zhongqian's pale face, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu, Zhou Zheng, and Qian Yi all had sad faces, Lu Zhongqian's mood is now at the bottom, and now that Zhu Zhanji has entered Beijing, the possibility of King Han turning things around is very small.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji, the officials of the five mansions and six departments were even more surprised, no one could have imagined that Zhu Zhanji had rushed back from Nanjing City, and Fan Bin, Feng Changan and others were even more dead, which meant that Zhu Zhantan's ambush in Jining Mansion had failed.

Although there were many doubts in their hearts, the ministers knew that now was not the time to ask, because Empress Zhang would tell them the reason for the matter sooner or later, so they knelt on the futon behind Yang Shiqi and the others according to their respective positions in the court, and the entire hall was silent.

Before getting the news of Emperor Hongxi's death, no one dared to cry, otherwise it would be a violation of etiquette and a great disrespect.

"Everyone, the emperor died in the Qin'an Palace on the twenty-ninth night of last month, the so-called country can not be without a monarch for a day, the palace obeys the ancestral system, and does not mourn before the prince enters Beijing, so as to stabilize the court."

After the ministers knelt down, Empress Zhang got up with the support of Chief Manager Wu, turned around and glanced at the people in the hall, and said in a sad tone, "Now that the crown prince has entered Beijing, the emperor's funeral will be handed over to the cabinet and King Fu, Qian Shangshu, and Xia Shangshu to govern." ”

After speaking, Empress Zhang knelt in front of the spirit again, looking at the coffin of Emperor Hong Xi and tears raining down, the husband and wife have been together for many years, and the couple has a deep affection and extremely deep feelings.

"Your Majesty, why did you leave your ministers and leave like this, and let your ministers live in the future!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is too late, and the crime deserves death."

"God, why did you let the emperor go so early, the emperor's grand cause has just begun."

……

Immediately, there was a cry in the Jiaotai Palace, and the ministers beat their chests and feet, crying bitterly, all of them looked extremely sad, and the hall was immediately shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Lu Zhongqian, Fan Bin and others also cried very sadly, but it is unknown whether they cried for the death of Emperor Hongxi or for the loss of such a good opportunity for King Han.

At the same time, the streets and alleys of the capital were posted with the edict of Emperor Hong Xi, which attracted people to gather to watch, all of them showed surprised looks, who would have thought that in just one year, two emperors would have died. The update is the fastest and most stable

"Mingxin Daily" was even more snapped up, because its first page was printed with the edict of Emperor Hong Xi, which means that the people of Mingxin Hall had already known this amazing news last night, so it was time to change the content of the first page and work overtime to print the newspaper.

Not only that, but another important news was published under the edict of Emperor Hongxi, that is, the crown prince Zhu Zhanji has been edicted to enter Beijing, supervise the country as a prince, and wait for the auspicious day to ascend the throne.

On the very next day, "Mingxin Bao" reported another bombshell news: The auspicious date for Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne has been set, and it is set for 27 June.

"Ming Xin Pao" was able to learn the news of Emperor Hong Xi's death and Zhu Zhanji's entry into Beijing and his accession to the throne for the first time, and its image immediately rose to a higher level, and it has virtually become a weather vane of current political trends in Beijing.

After Zhou Yuting learned that Zhu Zhanji had entered Beijing, a hanging heart finally fell, she thought that Li Yuntian and Zhu Zhanji were together, since Zhu Zhanji had arrived in the capital, Li Yuntian had obviously arrived.

Zhou Zheng knew that Li Yuntian was trapped in Jining Mansion, and he did not tell Zhou Yuting the truth, but told a white lie, saying that Li Yuntian was left in the palace by Empress Zhang and the crown prince for funeral, otherwise Zhou Yuting would definitely go to Jining Mansion to rescue Li Yuntian with his character, which made things even more complicated.

Tongzhou City.

"Father, it's not good!" Zhu Zhanyu held a copy of "Ming Xin Bao" in his hand, broke into a side room in a hurry, and said to the King of Han who was leaning down in front of the table to practice calligraphy, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"What's the panic? You are the prince, why should you be frizzy when you get into trouble! King Han was writing "The Sea Embraces All Rivers", just finished writing the last stroke, looked up at Zhu Zhanyu dissatisfiedly, put the wolf pen in his hand on the pen stand, picked up the fragrant tea on the table and tasted it slowly, and said lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

King Han didn't like to dance and ink, but since he was sent to Le'an Prefecture by Emperor Yongle, he began to cultivate his self-cultivation, waiting for the opportunity to fight back, and over time he actually practiced a good hand.

"Father, we were deceived, the emperor died on the twenty-ninth of last month, and now the prince has entered the capital." Zhu Zhanyu stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, put the newspaper in his hand on the table in front of King Han, and said urgently.

"What?" King Han was taken aback when he heard this, his hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble, spilled some tea, and then slammed the teacup on the table, causing a lot of tea to splash on the table, and picked up the "Ming Xin Bao".

"How so! Isn't the prince trapped in Jining Mansion? After reading the edict of Emperor Hong Xi on the front page of the "Ming Xin Bao" and the report on the prince's entry into Beijing, the king of Han stayed in place, the expression on his face was cloudy, and he muttered to himself, looking very surprised and stunned.

The death of Emperor Hongxi was not a surprise to the King of Han, he had already guessed this possibility, but a few days ago, Zhu Zhantan also sent someone to tell him the good news, saying that Zhu Zhanji was besieged in Jining Mansion, why suddenly Zhu Zhanji arrived in the capital.

"Father, could it be the queen's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, wanting to make the third brother cancel the arrangement of Jining Mansion so that the prince can get out." After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zhanyu stepped forward and said cautiously.

After he saw the edict of Emperor Hongxi posted on the street, he hurriedly brought a copy of "Ming Xin Bao" to Tongzhou City to report to the King of Han, but he did not see Zhu Zhanji, nor did he get the news of Zhu Zhanji's entry into Beijing, and Lu Zhongqian, Fan Bin and others, who had seen Zhu Zhanji, were in the palace at this time, so he had such suspicions.

"The prince's entry into Beijing is an important matter for the country, and he has to guard the emperor's spirit, isn't it child's play?" King Han came back to his senses, shook his head with a deep groan, and said expressionlessly, "It seems that your third brother has missed the trick of the prince's golden cicada to get out of his shell!" ”

"Father, if this is the case, the third brother will be in danger, the queen and the crown prince will definitely send someone to Jining Mansion to rescue the person who is pretending to be the prince, if the third brother is caught by them, it will be bad." Zhu Zhanyu also tasted it at this time, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

Zhu Zhantan, like him, left Le'an Prefecture without authorization, and if he was caught by the people sent to Jining Mansion by Empress Zhang and Zhu Zhanji, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Someone!" When King Han heard this, his face became more and more solemn, and he shouted outside the door, and a personal guard immediately walked in, and he commanded the guard in a deep voice, "Go to Jining Mansion quickly, tell the third prince that the prince has entered Beijing, let him leave Jining Mansion and return to Le'an immediately!" ”

The guard hurried away at the Han king.

After the guard left, King Han paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking a little impetuous.

"Damn, it must be another good thing that this kid has ruined this king!" Suddenly, King Han stopped, his face was cold, and he said coldly.

"Father, who ruined your good deeds?" Zhu Zhanyu didn't know what to do, and felt that King Han's words were a little clueless, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Who else can there be, Zhou Zheng's good son-in-law!" King Han slammed his fist on the table next to him and said through gritted teeth.

"He's just a small imperial history, what big waves can he make?" When Zhu Zhanyu heard this, the corners of his mouth showed a look of disdain.

In his opinion, Li Yuntian was only able to enter the Imperial Court because of Zhou Zheng's nepotism, he had no real skills, and the edict he sent to Emperor Yongle last time was just good luck, otherwise he would have been taken down by Lu Tianxing a long time ago.

"You know what?" Seeing that Zhu Zhanyu's eyes were full of contempt, King Han glanced at him coldly, "If this king is not mistaken, this emperor's blessing ritual is from his handwriting!" ”

"Father, you are exalting him too much, which of those old fellows in the cabinet is not better than him." Zhu Zhanyu said with some unconvincing.

"The people in the cabinet are being stared at by our people, the queen will definitely not look for them, do you know what the queen values most about that kid?" King Han glared at Zhu Zhanyu again with some anger, and couldn't help but start to miss Zhu Zhanqi who was steady and thoughtful, if Zhu Zhanqi was not assigned to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb, then the outcome of the matter might be different.

"I heard that this person is cunning and has a lot of city." Zhu Zhanyu thought for a moment and replied.

"In addition, his loyalty to the emperor is unmatched in the court, so he was called into the palace and stayed in the Qin'an Palace to serve." King Han frowned, walked to the window and looked at the big tree in the courtyard, and said with a solemn expression, "If this king is not wrong, he is the one who broke the situation of Fan Bin and others!" ”

Zhu Zhanyu couldn't help but fall silent when he heard this, he knew that Li Yuntian was driving in Qin'an Hall as a "golden boy", but if Emperor Hong Xi had died at that time, then Li Yuntian would not be an accompaniment, but would stay in the palace to give advice to the queen.

It's just that King Han guessed wrong, and it was not Li Yuntian who broke the plot of Fan Bin, Feng Changan and others, but the little-known Hu Yitu, and Li Yuntian was waiting for Zhu Zhanji to send someone to save him in Jinan Mansion at this time.

With the emergence of Zhu Zhanji, who represented the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, the political situation in the capital quickly stabilized, and the King of Han naturally did not need to stay in Tongzhou City, so he soon left with Zhu Zhanyu and returned to Le'an Prefecture.

On the way, King Han felt extremely annoyed in his heart, if he had followed Zhu Zhanyu's advice and ventured into Beijing a few days ago, then he might have controlled the current situation in the capital at this moment, and even the yellow robe became the son of the great tomorrow, instead of walking away like this.

In the final analysis, the King of Han was not defeated by Empress Zhang, Li Yuntian, Hu Yitu and others this time, but to Emperor Hong Xi, who had died. One
