Chapter 212: Wealth in the Sky (Second Watch)
"Queen Mother, in the eyes of the minister, it is a great honor to be able to protect the law for the emperor, and she must be an important minister among the important ministers of the court. The fastest and most stable update is the artifact of reading books
Read the website."
Li Yuntian has also been thinking about asking those ministers in the court to protect the Dharma for Emperor Hongxi, and after a long silence, he said, "The ministers think that there are only a few people with this qualification, such as the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Daxue, the Qian Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Governor of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office, the Governor of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the Governor of the Later Military Governor's Mansion, the Zuodu Governor of the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Governor of the Imperial Army. ”
"And, when the imperial prince and the Chinese army are the governors of the palace, the left capital of the British duke!" Li Yuntian hesitated for a moment and said the name of the last person, he was the British Gong Zhang Fu.
"English Princess!" Empress Zhang nodded thoughtfully when she heard this.
It stands to reason that Zhang Fu is the head of the nobles in the court, and he has won the trust of Emperor Yongle, and Emperor Hong Xi is also very kind to him.
However, Zhang Fu had a close personal relationship with the King of Han, and there were rumors that the news of Emperor Yongle's death last year was revealed by Zhang Fu to the King of Han, which made the King of Han arranged, almost making Li Yuntian unable to enter Beijing safely.
Therefore, at this critical moment related to the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fu naturally has to be controlled by Queen Zhang, the so-called no wind and no waves, in case the rumors are true, then Zhang Fu ascended to the top and shouted, and the nobles in the capital will be thrown into the arms of the King of Han.
Empress Zhang was very satisfied with the five candidates proposed by Li Yuntian, and with Yang Shiqi, Qian Yi and Zhou Zheng as a cover, no one would have thought that this time the protector was actually aimed at Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Weiguo, and Zhang Fu, the British Gong.
As long as Zhou Zheng and Zhang Fu are trapped in the palace, those nobles who support the Han King will not be able to make any big waves, and besides, Zhou Zheng can be released from the palace at a critical moment to stabilize the situation in the capital and guard the capital.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Yuntian and Empress Zhang discussed the countermeasures and hurriedly left the palace to find Su Bolang, who would play an important role in his plan.
Su Bolang lived in a luxurious mansion in the south of the city, and with his amazing deception, he bought a large property in the capital in less than a year, which can be described as a spring breeze.
Under the cover of night, three black-clothed men in night clothes appeared at the back door of Su's house, and one person quickly climbed over the wall and quietly opened the back door, welcoming the two people outside the door, and then carefully closing the door.
After entering the courtyard, a man in black led the way in front, and the three of them quickly walked through the courtyard and corridor to an elegant courtyard, and it seemed that the leading man in black knew the terrain of the Su Mansion very well.
A man in black used a dagger to pick open the deadbolt of a bedroom door, and the leading man in black crept in, while the other two men in black vigilantly guarded the door. The update is the fastest and most stable
On the ** in the bedroom, Su Bolang was sleeping with a beautiful woman in his arms, and the man in black in the lead reached out to cover his mouth when he saw this, which made Su Bolang wake up immediately.
"Don't speak, or I'm welcome." The man in black in the lead whispered a warning to Suberon.
Su Bolang was startled, nodded in shock, and signaled that he understood.
"Follow me." The man in black who led the way nodded at Su Bolang, came to the window, and gently pushed one of the windows open to thirty degrees, allowing the moonlight outside the window to pour in and shine on him.
"The people of Benshan have no grievances with Your Excellency, and Your Excellency is visiting late at night, what do you mean?" Su Bolang pressed the panic in his heart, put on his clothes, took out a dagger from under the pillow, hid it in his hand behind him, and came to the side of the man in black who led the man in black and asked quietly.
"You'd better put down what you're holding, you'd be dead if I tried to deal with you." The man in black in the lead looked at the night sky outside the window and said slowly.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Su Bolang's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look, he thought about it, and felt that the other party's words made sense, so he put the dagger on the table next to him and asked in a low voice quietly.
"Daoist Su, say goodbye to the past, do you remember it below?" The man in black in the lead turned around and pulled down the masked black scarf from his face.
"Li Yushi!" By the moonlight outside the window, Su Bolang immediately recognized the identity of this uninvited guest, and his eyes were full of surprise.
"This imperial history came this time to give Su Daochang a great fortune, but I don't know if Su Daochang has the courage and courage to take it next?"
Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and looked at Su Bolang quietly, "But this imperial history wants to remind you that it is a great fortune to complete the errand, but if you mess up, it will be a great disaster!" ”
Su Bolang was stunned when he heard this, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about what the "errand" in Li Yuntian's words was, since he knew Li Yuntian's identity, he naturally knew that Li Yuntian would not break into the house in the middle of the night to find him for no reason.
Li Yuntian knew that Su Bolang was thinking about the gains and losses, and he was not in a hurry, he stared at Su Bolang expressionlessly, he knew that Su Bolang was not a person who was willing to be mediocre, and he would definitely take a risk.
"Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky." After a while, Su Bolang gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and looked up at Li Yuntian, "Li Yushi, what do you need to serve here?" ”
"Did you know that there is a temple of the True Martial Emperor in the Forbidden City?" Hearing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he asked quietly.
"This temple was built by the first emperor and was specially used to worship Emperor Zhenwu." Su Bolang nodded, and said with some suspicion, he couldn't understand why Li Yuntian wanted to mention the True Martial Emperor.
"On the order of the Empress Niang, I want you to hold a ceremony in the Zhenwu Palace, and the period is seven seven and forty-nine days." Li Yuntian stared at Su Bolang and said word by word.
"This ...... It's true? Su Bolang was stupid in an instant, looking at Li Yuntian dumbfounded, and he didn't react in his mind for a while, entering the palace to do things was the honor he dreamed of.
"The emperor died tonight, and before the crown prince enters Beijing to inherit the throne, you must ensure that no one can see the emperor." Then, Li Yuntian added with a stern expression, "This imperial history knows that you have this ability." ”
"What...... What the? Hearing this amazing news, Su Bolang's whole person froze there, his face was unbelievable, he would never have thought that Emperor Hongxi, who had been on the throne for less than a year, would die, no wonder it was the queen's decree.
"Early tomorrow morning, you will receive an edict from the emperor to let you enter the palace to pray for the blessings of the Ming Dynasty, what to prepare must be clear to you than this imperial history."
Su Bolang's reaction at this time was very normal, and Li Yuntian said in an orderly manner, "If you can do this errand well, not only the queen, but also the crown prince will reward you heavily." ”
"Xie Li Yushi promoted." Su Bolang immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed deeply at Li Yuntian, obviously, if Li Yuntian hadn't recommended it to Empress Zhang, where would it be his turn to enter the palace to do things?
Once he has done this errand well, even if he is not named a national teacher, he will be the head of the imperial feud who enjoys the imperial court, and he has the corresponding official position and rank, which is enough to glorify the ancestors.
"This imperial history just helped you choose a path, and how to go on this road depends on yourself." Li Yuntian shook his head and said disapprovingly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"Master, what's going on?" When Li Yuntian quietly returned home, there was already a faint white of fish belly in the sky, Zheng Wanrou had been waiting for him in the bedroom, and asked with concern while helping him loosen his clothes.
Li Yuntian was announced into the palace in the middle of the night, and it was obvious that something big had happened in the palace, which made Zheng Wanrou feel restless and restless.
"The emperor has died." When Li Yuntian heard this, he leaned into Zheng Wanrou's ear and replied in a low voice, "I am going to Nanjing to send the crown prince to Beijing." ”
"Huh?" Zheng Wanrou was taken aback, covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes were full of shock, this news was too sudden.
According to the order of the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince can only leave Nanjing and return to the capital after receiving the emperor's edict, otherwise he will be punished with rebellion, just like the reason that the vassal king must not leave the domain without receiving the emperor's edict.
Therefore, someone must go to the prince to pass the decree, so that the prince can enter the capital openly, otherwise it will be very troublesome, and it will not only be as simple as entering the capital without permission, I am afraid that someone with a heart will also be connected with the sudden death of Emperor Hongxi, and the source of all this qiē is the king of Han.
If it weren't for the Han king's coveting of the throne of the Ming Emperor, things would have become very simple, and the civil and military ministers in the capital would have issued an edict to the crown prince in the name of Emperor Hongxi, announcing that he would enter Beijing and inherit the unification.
Since the crown prince was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and no one else could threaten his inheritance, the crown prince would enter Beijing and ascend the throne smoothly.
Empress Zhang did not dare to be careless about the matter of the decree, this holy decree of the prince entering Beijing must not be known to others, and she must send her confidants to the hands of the prince, and she must also avoid the eyes and ears of the Han King in Nanjing.
Not only that, but the person who sent the holy decree must also gain the trust of the prince, Emperor Hong Xi died very suddenly this time, even if the prince received the holy decree, he would definitely hesitate, and then doubt the authenticity of the holy decree.
In case this holy decree is a trap of the King of Han, then once he goes north, he will definitely be intercepted by the people of the King of Han on the way, and if he is not killed, he will be directly killed, even if he is not killed, then his position as the crown prince will be difficult to protect, after all, this is a great crime of rebellion.
Therefore, Empress Zhang thought about it, but she still felt that Li Yuntian was the most suitable person to send the holy decree, and Li Yuntian was brave and strategic, and he would definitely be able to complete this arduous task.
Now that Empress Zhang has made up her mind, Li Yuntian naturally can't shirk it, so she can only go to Nanjing City in person, find a way to hand over the holy decree to the prince, and return to the capital with the prince.
This task seems simple, but it is actually more dangerous than the last time I came back to spread the edict of Emperor Yongle, not only to prevent the news of Emperor Hong Xi's death from leaking, but also to find ways to let the prince secretly enter Beijing, and this time it is not only Li Yuntian alone, the more people there are, the bigger the goal, the more uncertain factors encountered, and no one can travel on a business trip.
Early the next morning, when Li Yuntian was in the bedroom to catch up on sleep, a chamberlain came to the palace and came to pass on the message of Emperor Hongxi, asking him to enter the palace immediately and meet him in the Qin'an Hall in the imperial garden.
Li Yuntian naturally knew that this message was sent by Empress Zhang, so he hurriedly got up to wash, dressed up and left with the waiter.
When Li Yuntian got out of the courtyard, Zheng Wanrou hurriedly went to find Zhou Yuting and told her the truth of the matter, and Zhou Yuting would cooperate with Empress Zhang to play a good show in the palace in the future. One
